COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – ProMedica Coldwater Regional Hospital Obstetrics Unit recently received a donation of an exercise ball rack from the Branch County Mothers of Twins.
The Obstetrics Unit uses “birthing balls” which are similar to exercise balls at gyms but slightly larger, for laboring mothers in the unit.
The birthing balls are a great way to help reduce pain and help mothers feel more comfortable during labor.
It can also encourage the opening of pelvic muscles and allow room for the baby to descend into the pelvis in preparation for birth.
ProMedica Coldwater OB nurses are all trained in a special program called “Spinning Babies” which is a natural way to have an easier delivery.
Each nurse completes an eight hour training to learn the techniques needed to help laboring mothers.
