Spinning Babies® is a paradigm shift in childbirth education – an approach to birth that focuses on where the baby is in the mother’s pelvis. Typically, during labor, the focus is on the dilation of the mother’s cervix. The Spinning Babies approach focuses more on the baby and mother working together through the birthing process. Spinning Babies® is NOT about forcing, moving, or turning your baby manually, but instead about the natural rotation your baby needs to make during their birth, and how the mother can help them with this process.
But – my baby is already head down?
Great! Much of the work is done! Breech babies aren’t the only ones who need help getting into the best position for birth. Learn about why baby’s position and mother’s activities matter, the factors that influence baby’s position, and what you can do to help your baby be in the ideal position to start birth.

What is the Spinning Babies® Parent Class?
But – I already took a childbirth class?
This is NOT your typical childbirth class!
Spinning Babies® Parent Class shows you what you can do to increase your chances for an easier birth. Learn all about practical ways to help baby in the best position to fit the pelvis. Also learn solutions for when labor seems long, painful, or has a stall. And, if practiced daily, an easier labor and birth are likely.
