Although many pregnant women do not think the least at that time is to mark a few steps, dancing is highly recommended to help induce labor naturally. The mother’s movements help the baby to position itself and with its own weight, contribute to soften the cervix to cause birth.
This is what Alicia Exantuz did, who decided to dance to help deliver her baby in labor that would last 30 hours . Because her baby seemed in no rush to be born, she took to the hospital corridor to dance to a choreography that was joined by her husband, Miller, and the center’s nurses.
It happened last Friday at Manatee Memorial Hospital in Florida (United States) where Alicia finally gave birth to her first child. By posting the video, he thanked the nurses:
“I must say that these women are truly superheroes and they made this experience an incredible experience.”
The dance to favor childbirth
It is not the first time that we see pregnant women marking a dance in the hospital to promote childbirth. We also saw him with this pregnant woman dancing the Dura Challenge and the most famous, that of this other woman who dances a choreography with the obstetrician.
And it is that in addition to contributing to the softening of the cervix, dancing also helps reduce stress and mitigate the pain of contractions , by releasing endorphins and dopamine in the body. So now you know, if your body asks you to, do not hesitate to mark a few steps.
Alicia’s video has gone viral with more than 87 thousand visits and has even appeared in the local media.
