Become a Gibbula and help or partner someone through their pregnancy.

What is a Gibbula?
A Gibbula is someone who has trained with fourseas and has gained a qualification of competence to become registered with fourseas. A Gibbula will typically have already gone through the birthing experience, they act as a friend, confidant, mentor, tea-lady or just someone to talk to.

Most Gibbulas will be trained in yijinjing chi gong, pushing hands and will be able to apply Chipregnancy acupressure techniques. A Gibbula will need to have a pleasant supportive, adaptable personality.

The Gibbula will also attend the birth of their client as a support, or, perhaps to help with partner breathing, apply acupressure, give the benefit of their experience or just to tell a few jokes to promote relaxation and a less stressed environment.

Alternatively the Gibbula could be the sole birthing partner and along with the midwife be the only one attending the birth.

Pregnancy study in China (other pregnancy research)

Study using 196 pregnant women before and after chi gong exercise found that the heart rate of the foetus either slowed or increased with any congestion in the mothers breathing alleviated and the blood vessels in the mother's limbs becoming dilated. Chi gong may contribute to natural labour as observations show that women who practice chi gong before they give birth do not tend to suffer from difficult or premature labour. This is because abdominal respiration diaphragmatic function is improved this has a massage effect on the organs in the viscera which could increase blood circulation around the body and to the foetus, the muscles of the diaphragm also become stronger and are more within the control of the mother during labour improving the chance of being able to give a good strong push at the right time.
