TOP 4 YOGA POSES to PREPARE & SUPPORT A POSITIVE BIRTH OUTCOME
There is blossoming research that some birthing positions far outweigh others. It all comes down to something called a flexible sacral position (FSP).

Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a dangerous condition that requires immediate attention from your physician.
