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
