Zero or Irregular Contractions and “No Progress”? One Simple Move to Have Ready Before Birth.

Zero or Irregular Contractions & “No Progress”?

One Simple Move to Have Ready Before Birth

Hey fearless momma. 💗

Whether this is your first birth or you’ve already had one that felt slow, stalled, or ended in interventions, this is for you.

Today I want to walk you through one simple move that can completely change how your labor unfolds…so that when contractions get irregular or things feel “stuck,”you have a plan — not panic.

When You Gave It Everything… and “Nothing Was Changing”

Maybe your last birth looked something like this:

• Your contractions were light, random, or they kept starting and stalling.

• You worked so hard through every wave… hanging on, breathing, doing everything “right”… because you wanted that natural, unmedicated birth.

• You gave it everything.

But every time someone checked you, you heard:

“No change yet.”“Still 1 cm.”“Your cervix is still high and to the back.”

It felt like all that hard work wasn’t doing anything.

Then the language shifted.

• “We can break your water.”

• “We might start Pitocin to strengthen contractions.”

• “Let’s see if we can speed things up.”

Here’s the part almost no one explains:

It’s like pouring more and more water into a sink even though the drain is plugged.

• The sink isn’t broken.

• The water isn’t the issue.

• The flow is blocked at the top.

That’s exactly what can happen when baby isn’t truly engaged in the pelvis — especially at the pelvic inlet (the top of the pelvis).

The “doorway” is plugged…but no one thinks to look there.

So labor keeps starting and stalling.Nurses keep checking and saying nothing’s changing.

And eventually, maybe that birth even ended in a C-section—

• not because your body failed,

• but because no one addressed the real issue at the doorway.

And underneath it all, you wondered:

“Why wasn’t my body doing what it was supposed to?”“Will this happen again?”

If This Is Your First Pregnancy…

Maybe you haven’t birthed yet, but you’ve heard stories like that and quietly thought:

• “What if my contractions don’t build?”

• “What if baby never drops?”

• “What if my body doesn’t know how to progress naturally?”

Your fears make sense.You just haven’t been shown what’s actually happening inside your pelvis.

Who I Am & Why I’m So Passionate About This

In case we haven’t really met yet — I’m Dancee, creator of Fearless Momma Birth.

Since 2017, I’ve been obsessed with physiological and anatomical birth:

• studying how the body opens,

• attending births,

• and listening to hundreds of real birth stories.

I’m really good at spotting patterns, and over and over I kept seeing the same thing:

Women were told their bodies “weren’t working”…

when the real issue was that no one was helping them work with their design —

• with baby’s position,

• the pelvis,

• the nervous system,

• and the birth space.

That’s what I want to show you today.

There’s More Than One Way to Unlock the Door…

But One Way Is Smoother

One of the biggest patterns I see over and over is this:

Slow, stalled, or confusing laborsthat had nothing to do with a “broken body”…and everything to do with baby’s position at the top of the pelvis.

Here’s something I deeply believe, mama:

Most babies do come out — even when the doorway isn’t ideal.Your body is incredibly wise and determined.

Sometimes you push through birth with a baby who isn’t fully aligned…and everything still turns out okay.

But here’s the question I always ask moms:

What if we could make the key fit the lock the first time?

You can force a lock open.Eventually, it will unlock.

But the experience is:

• harder,

• longer,

• more intense —

for both your body and your baby.

Or…

You place the right key in the right angle,and suddenly the lock turns smoothly.

Birth is the same.

You weren’t broken.The door wasn’t broken.

The key — your baby’s angle going through the spiral of birth — just wasn’t aligned yet.

And once you lift, adjust, and help baby find that doorway…labor can flow the way it was designed to. 🔑

The Key & The Lock: A Picture for Your Pelvis

Have you ever tried to unlock a door with a key —but the key was upside down?

So you flip it around…try again…but now you’re coming in at the wrong angle, so it jams.

You pull the key back out,reset your hand,line it up just right…

and suddenly it slides in smoothlyand the lock turns effortlessly.

That is exactly what’s happening with your baby at the top of the pelvis — the pelvic inlet.

Your uterus can be contracting.Your body can be trying.

But if baby is like:

• the upside-down key, or

• the wrong-angle key…

they can’t “slot into” the brim of your pelvis yet.

Not because anything is wrong.Not because your body is failing.

The key just needs the right:

• orientation,

• angle,

• and space…

before the doorway opens.

And once baby finds that perfect angle?

Just like the key in the lock…the whole spiral of the womb starts turning smoothly.

That’s when labor goes from “stuck and confusing”to flowing and purposeful.

Your Design Isn’t Broken — Modern Life Is Misaligned

Here’s what I want you to hear after that key-and-lock picture:

Women have been birthing since the beginning of time.

Your body’s design is:

• ancient,

• wise,

• God-crafted,

• and trustworthy.

But modern life isn’t built for birth.

We:

• sit more than any generation before us,

• drive everywhere,

• curl forward at desks, couches, phones, and screens,

• carry stress in our hips, ligaments, and pelvic floor.

All of that creates tight or slightly torqued ligaments around the uterus and pelvis —

not because anything is wrong with you,but because our daily movement patterns don’t match the way God designed our bodies to open.

We move less…and we move differentlythan women ever have in history.

So sometimes baby doesn’t find the path right away —

not because your design is faulty,but because our lifestyle isn’t supporting the natural spiral of birth.

• Your body isn’t the problem.

• The environment you live in is.

And the beautiful part?

You can begin to shift this with simple, gentle adjustments —like the one I’m about to teach you.

One Simple Move: The Abdominal Lift & Tuck

Women are catching on. They’re preparing differently.Birth professionals are starting to take a second look.

And you — yes, you, momma —you’re already showing that you’re a Fearless Momma just by being here.

Because a Fearless Momma is someone who prepares in:

• love,

• trust,

• and intention…

not fear.

So this time, you get to go in prepared.

My goal is to help you understand what’s really happening in those irregular contraction moments —and to give you one gentle move you can practice now,so if labor ever looks similar again, you already know what to do.

It’s called the Abdominal Lift & Tuck —

and it’s part of what I teach inside the Pelvic Key, one of the four full guides inside the Fearless Momma Birth Method™.

Inside that Pelvic Key, I created the Pelvic Dance Guide — a printable guide moms literally take into labor. It walks you through balancing movements, positions, and rest poses that help baby find space and flow naturally.

Today, I want to show you one piece of that sequence —the move that started it all for Kari.

Kari’s Story: From 15 Hours of “Nothing” to a Smooth, Fast Birth

Let me show you how this actually works through a real birth.

When Kari went into labor, her water broke prematurely — before a single real contraction had even begun.

They went to the hospital right away.As soon as she arrived, nurses started watching the clock, watching her body, and talking about how long things “should” be taking.

But nothing was really happening.

For hours, all she felt were tiny tightenings—small, unorganized waves that never grew into anything.

• Her baby still felt high in her belly.

• Her contractions kept starting and fizzling out.

• Her cervix stayed high and to the back.

• Nothing was progressing.

As the hours passed — almost 15 hours since her water had been broken — the familiar fear started creeping in:

“Is this going to turn into interventions?”“Is my body not doing what it’s supposed to?”“Is this going to be like last time?”

Most moms know this moment.That internal panic… that sinking feeling…where it seems like your body isn’t responding — and you don’t know why.

But when I walked into the room, I didn’t see a body that couldn’t labor.I didn’t see a uterus that was “failing.”

I saw a baby who simply hadn’t found the right pathway yet.

A baby who was sitting above the pelvic brim —like a key hovering near the lock, but not quite lining up.

What I Saw in Her Body

I watched:

• how her belly was resting,

• how she was standing,

• how her contractions looked,

• where baby felt in her hands.

Her uterus was contracting.Her body was ready.

But her baby wasn’t engaged at the top of the pelvis —they were hovering above the doorway instead of slotting into it.

And when baby doesn’t get into that inlet space,the cervix doesn’t get the pressure it needs…

so contractions can’t do their job.

So instead of trying to force labor to “be stronger,”we focused on helping baby find the doorway.

The Abdominal Lift & Tuck in Real Time

We started where I start with most moms in this situation —with the Abdominal Lift & Tuck.

Here’s what that looked like in real life:

• Kari stood on soft knees, leaning slightly forward.

• I had Dad come behind her and slide his hands underneath her belly.

• With each contraction, I taught him to gently lift her belly up and in just a couple of inches.

Not forcing baby down.Not shoving or pushing.

Just supporting the weight of the belly upward so baby could:

• shift back toward her spine,

• line up with the pelvic inlet.

Then I coached her to:

• soften her hips,

• release her glutes,

• add the tiniest tailbone tuck — just enough to lengthen her lower back and open the top of her pelvis.

And I had her breathe low and slow with each waveto keep her pelvic floor soft and responsive.

This combination does exactly what you want it to do at the inlet:

• It shifts baby’s weight back

• It aligns the uterus directly over the pelvis

• It opens the top of the pelvis

• It helps baby begin to “hook in” to the brim

After a few rounds, she suddenly looked up and said:

“Oh wow… I think the baby just dropped a little.”

Her whole energy changed — her body felt different.

That’s when I knew we could keep building the sequence.

Building on the Shift: Movement, Rest, and Space

Next, I guided her through two gentle vertical movements —simple, upright motions that use gravity to help baby:

• rotate,

• settle deeper,

• and keep that good angle.

As she moved, her water released even more —a beautiful sign that baby’s head was finally coming into better contact with the cervix.

Then I put her into a specific resting position on the bed that dramatically opens the inlet —a position where:

• the sacrum is free,

• the top of the pelvis is soft and wide,

• and her body can truly receive the work her contractions are doing.

The moment she melted into it, she froze and said:

“I just felt the baby spin into place.”

That was it.

Baby had finally committed to the doorway.

What Happened Next

Not long after baby settled into the inlet, everything changed — fast.

Her contractions suddenly kicked in naturally.

They became:

• strong,

• steady,

• incredibly purposeful —

the kind of contractions that actually create change.

We moved her into one more mid-pelvis opening position to help baby continue moving downward through the spiral…

And then everything unfolded beautifully.

Her big baby was born quickly and peacefully —so fast that the OB didn’t even make it into the room in time.

Even the nurse — who had been watching all day — looked at her and said:

“You did it, Kari.”

You could see something shift in that nurse’s eyes too —her belief about women’s bodies, about birth, about what’s possible.

Kari’s body was never the problem.Her uterus was never the problem.

Her baby just needed support finding the path.

If Something in You Whispered, “My Body Was Never the Problem…”

Mama… if Kari’s story clicked for you —if something inside whispered,

“My body was never the problem,”

you’re exactly who I created my resources for.
