Chantal Traub is a prominent New York City birth facilitator, doula, childbirth educator and wellness coach. In her 20-plus years in practice, she has become internationally acclaimed for her expertise on the pelvic floor and her Pushing Power technique. Early on, Traub identified a severe lack of preparation among birthing people for the pushing stage of labor. Thus began a mission to properly educate and teach birthing moms—and professionals in the field—to better understand the pelvic floor; through her classes, her one-on-one work and her doula practice, Traub has helped thousands of women birth babies without tearing and without episiotomies. Traub speaks often on the subject of pelvic floor health and safe, effective pushing. In recent years, Traub has expanded her training and practice to be able to serve the health needs of women of all ages and at all life stages.   Follow us @pelvicorerehab and share any questions you have on Pelvic Health or share your experience overcoming Pelvic Health related issues.   Episode Notes: How did you become passionate about helping women have a great birth experience and protecting their Pelvic floor during birth? Why do you think women are so underprepared for the pushing part of labor? Why do you think there is no universal education around this? What is the relationship of the pelvic floor to the pelvis during labor and birth?  How can we prepare the pelvic floor prenatally for labor and delivery to help protect the pelvic floor? What are your thoughts on perineal massage at the end of pregnancy to help prepare for labor? How can women prepare for the final phase of labor during pregnancy? Can you give us some tips? Should moms be learning certain movements or perform certain exercises/stretches during certain stages of labor to help ease the baby into position? How do you help moms determine which position they may be the most comfortable, meaningful experience during labor? It seems like so many women are given pitocin during labor, what are your thoughts on this? Are there any positions you advise moms NOT to push in? What are some strategies you teach moms to help them reduce pain during pushing?    Where can you find more of Chantal Traub: Published Co-Author: The Pelvic Floor: Everything you needed to know sooner www.chantaltraub.com IG: @chantal.traub https://www.instagram.com/chantal.traub  https://www.facebook.com/chantaltraub  email: [email protected]   Visit me at: My Website: https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/   Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/pelvicorerehab   Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/pelvicorerehab/   YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCiEl1ZFlA5SzN44MhUwzgA?view_as=subscriber   Ebook Books links  Pregnancy Ebook:  https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/pain-free-pregnancy-guide   Pelvic Pain, Bladder leaking, and 8 steps to achieve pelvic healing https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/pelvicfloorguides   Menopause Guide https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/menopauseguide   Postpartum ebook https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/headtotoewellnessformommyandbaby    Disclaimer: Susan Winograd, PT offers health and fitness information intended to assist you in improving your general health and well-being.
