You guys are so kind and informative. We need more doctors like you out there.

“They definitely don’t call it labor for nothing” HAHA I chuckled on that part.😂 in 39 weeks right now and I’ve been having contractions all day….

You guys have been so helpful! I'm now 34 weeks and haven't been able to attend my area's birthing classes because limited space and my work schedule. Your videos are my birth classes!

Hey guys, love all the information I been obtaining from the videos. Super informative. I’m 37 weeks and I been having cramping for 2 days, it’s my second child, yet I didn’t experience this. You guys think it’s labor or Braxton hicks. They aren’t 5 minutes apart and mild pain. I also have a lot of pressure down there. Thank you

Very helpful thank you for sharing

I will be 21 weeks on Tuesday, but since yesterday I started having Braxton Hicks contractions (more like some medium menstrual cramps) and this really eased up my anxiety. Thank you!

Hi I would like more also about something called back labor. I have had two pregnancy’s and both I had back labor. My second delivery they placed the belt contraction monitor on my belly and they said they were not picking up many contractions, but I sure did feel a lot more of what they said their monitor show so once they checked my dilation I was at 7cm as soon as i arrived to the hospital my delivery was so fast, I had both my babies without epidural. But what do I need to know about back labor and future delivery, what are good things I should mention or ask my OB/GYN Love all the information you both provide!!!!

Hello! I’m currently 36 1/2 weeks pregnant with my first and I’m not sure how to time contractions. Do you start the timer from when you first feel pain and then end the timer when the pain stops? Or start the timer when it ends and let it run until you feel the next one to stop it and to measure the time between each one?

I’ve been having Braxton Higgs for an hour or so at a time and I’m almost 36 weeks. My uterus feels really dense and tight for around an hour and then it’ll go away but it’ll come back. Is that normal? :) Thank you

You look more beautiful and am happy for you on your pregnancy journey

What contraction app do you recommend?

Hey you guys ! I have been spotting off and on I am currently 34 weeks pregnant can this mean anything ? I have a cervical cerclage in as well which will be removed in 2 weeks

I'm currently at 37 week but I've been experiencing weird feelings for about 2 weeks. My belly is hard and tight all day only rests for 20 25 mins. I don't understand is that Braxton hicks contraptions or smth else. Also my belly is in square shaped when it's tightens

So I am 36 weeks and 4 days. I am 90% effaced, 0cm dilated, and baby is at station -2. When do you approximately think I'll give birth?

I been watching all your videos!! They have been so helpful baby girl coming in 3 weeks first time mom too so exited!!! Thank you for so much information your princess is perfect congratulations on that 🤩can’t wait to see her grow on your videos love you guys 🥹🥹🥰🥰🥰

I've noticed you said most placentas come about 30 mins after born is born for me it came out right after baby is born or took two hours I'm almost 35 weeks pregnant with baby no 7 💙

@TheDoctorsBjorkman

They usually come out before 30 minutes--I would say most take less than 5-10 minutes. After 30 minutes it is called a retained placenta and often requires a procedure or the doctor/midwife to manually remove it. Neither of which are very fun.

My Doctor advises the 5:1:1 too. I am curious, when 1st time mothers hit that point, about how dilated are they when arriving at the Hospital?

Hi guys, I know you must be super busy with your baby, but can you please comment what could be the reason for concern for pain on the right side of the abdomen?

@TheDoctorsBjorkman

Could be many many things! It could be round ligament pain (very common in pregnancy), it could be your bowels or appendix or even just the baby’s position. Definitely check in with your doctor so they can do a physical exam to make sure it’s nothing serious. :)

See I knew this was normal I’m 24 weeks and I just had an appointment and they said oh no that’s not good have plenty of rest and if they continue go to the hospital so they can stop them and I’m so confused cuz in all my pregnancy apps it says after 20 you’ll feel them.

35w 3d right now!

Getting braxton hicks everyday and night is common after 30 weeks?

I can feel my stomach tightening on one side but I’m not cramping.So is that baby moving instead and not Braxton hicks?

When you say that normal birth can be at 37 weeks, does that mean after the 37th week or starting when the 37th week begins? I ask because I need to make a plane reservation to California for my first grandchild's birth. : D

I'm 24 weeks 2 days and I have experienced mild period type cramps while seem to be my uterus and ligaments as it right sided by the ligament so doc rules it as that 2 doctors did but still scared me as s I've had it for almost since beginning but started mainly week 12 or 11 and ever since .. but sucks because I worry all time even thi my nipt tests are all good and my ultrasound was perfect I feel he will come 11 days sooner like my 1st daughter and she was 8.98lb and ready to come so she wasnt small

Possible to have very consistent Braxton hicks? I basically met the 5-1-1 rule a few days ago (I’m 39 weeks) but just felt my stomach getting rock hard. Uncomfortable but not painful. I haven’t timed again since then but have lots and lots of these contractions. Not getting more intense. So I guess it’s BH but didn’t realize you could have so many and such consistent BH?

@hannahbaker2856

2 жыл бұрын

I'm in the same boat. I'm 35+6 and have had consistent BH (2-5 minutes apart regardless of position or activity) for most of the week. They eventually stop at times during the day. I've read some anecdotal evidence suggesting that more BH may indicate a faster labor in some women, so fingers crossed!

I have a weird question: does the baby feel the contractions?

Hi guys! Could you please let me know if i could go into labour if my baby is transverse. Very weird position. I am 36 w 4 days and have been feeling this tightening of the my stomach where it becomes rock hard, esp when im.standing up and keeps going back and forth. Happened yesterday too. Baby is transverse position. Thank you!!

@TheDoctorsBjorkman

The stomach becoming rock hard sounds like a contraction--Braxton Hicks! You CAN go into labor at any time, but most babies come right around their due date. At 36+4 it is still a little early. Hopefully in the next week or two that little one rotates to head down!!
