Spinning Babies Website is a project of Gail Tully, a homebirth midwife in Minnesota, USA. She is a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM), credentialed by North American Registry of Midwives.

From her observations and study, Gail adds her contribution to the topic of Optimal Foetal Positioning (Fetal Positioning in the US). 

Where'd these ideas come from?

Spinning Babies Website takes the topic of Optimal Foetal Positioning and makes it easier to understand. The 3-Principles give you a step-by-step way approach to fetal positioning.

Midwife Jean Sutton and Childbirth Educator Paula Scott published Understanding and Teaching Optimal Fetal Positioning over ten-years ago. I took them seriously and have been observing and serving mothers on this topic ever since. 

Physical therapist, DONA founder and doula trainer, Penny Simkin brought to light many of the labor progress techniques praised in this site. 

Her insights and approach have taught Gail a lot about what is possible in birth and the vital importance of labor support.

Dr. Carol Phillips, DC, brought the Inversion to the birthing community. Dr. Phillips teaches how the soft tissues and pelvic alignment effect birth and newborn health.

Midwife Guadalupe Trueba is the gracious Mexican midwife from whom I learned to use the Rebozo. Plus, many other midwives, doctors, nurses, childbirth educators, doulas and parents offered their stories, wisdom and experience. 

What I've done is brought the information together, sorted it and organized it, eliminating as much of the myth as I know to eliminate, and made the knowledge easier to apply. I present a traditional midwifery trust in birth, yet provide practical interventions that parents themselves can use.
