Peanut

I have been asked occasionally what the 'peanut' is when I reference its use in some of my birth stories. Here's a picture...









They can be found in stores carrying exercise equipment, or online by doing a search for 'peanut-shaped exercise ball'. The kid is not included.

So how do you use the peanut? Like, for example, to encourage a babe to roll from OP to OA during labor? Any peanut training would be greatly appreciated?

Put mom on her side with the head of bed almost flat. Put peanut between her legs. Flip every 30 minutes until done. :)

This works great to allow a baby to get its head in a better position...whether going from OP to OA or just a little cockeyed. If it doesn't work, (and most of the time it does) mom just isn't meant to deliver vaginal.
