The psoas sits deeply in our bodies underneath skin, fat and other muscles – at our core. It helps wrap our front and our back bodies and our lower half to our upper half.

Our bony pelvis houses our precious pelvic organs as well as providing stability, weight bearing, balance and centering for the rest of the body. The bony pelvis is often what is first thought of when we think about the baby moving though the pelvis.

Did you know that the clitoris is not just a single small point just under the urethra (the pee hole) but that it actually looks like a peak of a triangle with little arms that extend down into the labia and around their vaginal opening?

What is it to yield? To willing give over; to the Divine, to another, to a higher power, to situations we cannot change. To our babies growth and our babies big stretch out of our bodies?

I am in my car driving have some music on,
My little one is in the back telling me about his day,
my teenager is next to me and we are making plans,
google maps is talking to me, a text comes through and the message plays ( I’m a midwife I need to listen to it).

Just like a surfer jumping in on a wave in the exact moment. When we welcome our surges/waves /contractions with the out-breath we are like surfers jumping on our board in the exact moment.
