Pelvic Steaming for
Labor Preparation
This holistic approach to labor preparation involves using the ancient practice of vaginal steaming. Sitting over a very mildly steaming pot of water infused with herbs can help increase circulation, moisturize, and soften the cervix, thus preparing the body for labor. The practice of yoni steaming can help balance hormones, increase circulation to the pelvic area, lubricate, and encourage the onset of labor.
The steam is warm, but mild enough that if a newborn were introduced to it, it would be gentle and relaxing on their skin.
