How to Make a DILATION STATION & Labor...On Your TOILET!

Turn your bathroom into what doulas everywhere call 'The Dilation Station' and watch the oxytocin magic flow! This is one of my favorite labor tips, whether for home or hospital.
Laboring on your toilet is great for a few reasons:
- the bathroom is a controlled, calm space you (usually!) can count on not being disturbed
- the toilet is a place we are used to releasing, and opening
- sitting on the toilet may make you feel more comfortable with the 'mess' of labor!
Some tips to make it more comfortable:
- A Support Person
- Pillows
- Music
- Essential Oils (on a cloth, so the scent can be easily removed)
- Battery Operated Soft, Twinkly Lights
- Water! (use the shower or bath, as much as you need)

Brilliant trick to sit backwards on the toilette, with the pillows.

YES! Thank you! I always set it up this way if there's a tank. And in hospital with no tank, I often rest a birth ball on a bedside commode and it has the same effect.

Can you do this to help you go into labor?

Hey! Great question. I find that keeping a position on the toilet to bring baby down really works best in labor. For ways to prepare your body to go into labor, I would recommend this channel for education: www.youtube.com/@birthtoolbox
