What is OMP?
Your pregnancy is a time of preparation for the upcoming arrival of your baby. This may be getting equipment you need, attending your appointments and getting mentally and physically prepared.
Optimal Maternal Positioning or OMP is a practical and interactive workshop meant for a woman and her partner or support person to prepare her body for labour and birth.
Optimal Maternal Positioning assists in creating space and mobility for a better birth experience. OMP teaches techniques that brings awareness to the body, assists with pregnancy discomforts and can potentially shorten your labour.
OMP can empower women and their support team by giving a better understanding of physiological labour, for a more positive labour and birth.
You will learn practical skills that work with your body. Movement and space are important during your labour, so understanding how movement will help the labour become more efficient.
