Some care providers still insist on applying pressure at the top of the uterus during the third stage of birth from a place of fear.

➜ There are no proven benefits to fundal pressure but real risks to consider. Trust your body and protect those precious moments after the birth of your baby.

➜ There is no need to manually pressure your body into performing and completing the birthing process.

➜ Instead, you can support your body’s release of essential hormones through skin-to-skin, breastfeeding, and honoring the Golden Hour without unnecessary disruptions.
