During the postpartum period, we will help restore the patternsthat existed before pregnancy. From the moment babies are born, we canalso help them have better health and mobility, thereby helping futuregenerations as well.I have learned all of this and much more in my nearly twenty-five yearsas a midwife and physical therapist, and I wanted to share these lessonswith you in this book. Therefore, I invite you to live a new experienceas a midwife and travel from the center of life to the neonatal period inevery delivery, reading the messages from each woman’s pelvis as if itwere an open book.There is a different way to help mothers connect with their bodies andbabies during pregnancy and birth.
