How do you call "physiological plateaus"? All suggestions warmly welcome!

In most settings, the term "physiological plateau" is not established as common, shared language. Often, we use all kinds of terms and phrases to describe plateaus... such as the "rest and be thankful phase" or a "labour lull"... There is beauty in diverse language around this phenomenon, and at the same time, shared language helps us exschange ideas and form a shared understanding.

Please feel welcome to share the terms and phrases that you use, or that people around you use.

Do you have suggestions for a better term than "physiological plateau"? Be our guest! (It's a bit clunky, I know... it's just what we settled on for now to start sharing some common language... In the end, women who birth will have to define how they want to call this phenomenon. I think, it's not really a decision that birth professionals should make but we can certainly collect ideas! 😉)

Thank you for sharing!
Warmly,

Marina

Have you experienced a plateau during labour? Please feel welcome to share your story here, whether it's yourself who has given birth, or whether you have supported a woman during labour! (Please be mindful not to share any circumstantial information that could identify people). From stories we learn; they help us understand and make sense of the things we observe in life. Every story is welcome!
Thank you for your trust!

Liebe LiP-Teilnehmenden!

Ich freue mich, dass Sie unser Diskussionsforum besuchen. Hier möchten wir Erfahrungsberichte sammeln. Meine Frage an Sie lautet also:

Haben Sie schonmal ein physiologisches Plateau während einer Geburt erlebt?

Berichten Sie gerne Ihre Erfahrungen, oder was Sie über Plateaus im Geburtsverlauf denken. Haben Sie eine tolle neue Idee, wie wir Plateaus auf Deutsch nennen sollten - statt "Plateau"? Ich freue mich über Tips!

Alles Liebe,

Marina
