@@BridgetTeyler I have story for u for my experience that is my vibe tribe not is going well

I just wanted to share a tiny bit about my first delivery 36 years ago. I did manage to dilate to around 5 by the time I was on the bed in hospital, and I had a midwife to assist me. My 1st birth was 5 hours from my water breaking to the actual birth, my 2nd birth was 1 hour 40 minutes, beginning with contractions and some bleeding, and my 3rd was 3 hours after losing the mucous plug. Obviously I had riveting pain like most women, and I used this kind of a thought process and vision each time I had a contraction, which made the contractions work for me more efficiently. I envisioned my cervix opening up a little bit more with each contraction, and almost having appreciation for myself and what I was doing. In actuality that’s exactly what’s happening and going on, and by concentrating on that inner vision I was very much in control. And truthfully, it was the only way to get out of that pain, bcuz it made me angry. That probably sounds funny, but that’s how I felt. I have to say that with my 3rd birth, I really wanted some way out of it, and was even hesitant to walk out to the car. And after maybe 10 minutes, knowing that I needed to get on with it, I was off to get it done and over with. It’s been fun reading others comments, we all are magnificent beings to be able to have live births and live to tell about them♥️! Good luck to all of you. Now raising them is another long and huge undertaking that came with some much bigger headaches than what we all were probably planning on, but we’re all still amazing!

I had my second baby on the side of the road, on the way to the hospital, obviously it wasn't planned, but it was the best birth experience i have had. And it was a lot quicker! No complications. He was ready to come out ha ha

Oh my gosh I’m due September 15th 😂

My labor went by so fast! I guess early labor started Friday 11/15 after my doctor's appt. (she had checked my cervix. I was 50% effaced and 0 dialated at that time). Mild back pains continued the next day. But come 11/17 (this past Sunday), back labor pains REALLY picked up and I honestly thought I was still in early labor. But things progressed so fast. The only way to bear through my pains were pacing around. I also took two baths and two showers. I realized I was in active labor when the bath wasn't "slowing things down." So, I told my fiance that he should start packing his hospital bag. He had to do a few things before we decided we should probably go in to L&D. I did more pacing. When we arrived, I half expecting to be sent home, but to our surprise, I was already 7cm dialated! My plan was to go unmedicated. They still offered the epidural and/or IV Meds. I declined. I did however, use the nitrous oxide, but only 3 brief inhales 3 times. It didn't get rid of the pain but it did make the contractions SEEM shorter. Shortly after we learned I was 7cm (probably 30mins later), the contractions got super intense to the point that pacing no longer helped but embracing my fiance with him applying pressure on my low back did. Real soon after those began, I told the nurses that I "feel pushy." It was go time! My fiance said I pushed for only 45 mins. I did opt in for a mirror. I nearly asked to change pushing positions because my legs were cramping from having to spread them open, but when I saw that the doctor had a good grip of my baby's head, I was like, "okay, I'm ready." Three or 4 more good pushes and my little man was born. I wanted to say thank you for your videos. The breathing techniques and all other information you provided helped tremendously! I am so happy with my experience and super proud of myself! I remained calm throughout the whole thing which helped the process go along nice and smooth!

I'm due in 11 days. Despite this being my 6th child with 5 successful vaginal births behind me and only one epidural, and three born at home, I was finding myself exceptionally anxious this time around about birth, and not even fully understanding why. After two days of watching many of your videos I feel much more prepared and I am even feeling excitement, which had been missing from my plethora of emotions. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, and with such positivity and candidness. You have helped me immensely.

This described my transition exactly down to a T. The "I can't do this" and the hot/ cold flashes/shivering all happened. My water breaking at home, while reading natural birth stories in bed, to meeting baby at the hospital was just under 7 hours. I used hypnobirthing techniques and it was completely unmedicated- no IV and no continuous fetal monitoring.

So interesting how people's bodies experience things differently! I just delivered unmedicated, and I had super bad back labor, but didn't experience contractions in the front or the ring of fire. But man, was that back pain crazy! Really really intense, but not at all what I thought labor would be like.

I’m stumbling upon your videos now, and they’re so healing to me. I just delivered my second daughter a couple days ago and it was a scary fast labor (contractions started at 1:11am, arrived at the hospital at 2:10am at 5cm, 2:20am was 10cm, 2:28am baby was delivered) and my baby girl was sunny side up so the back labor was incredibly intense. It was so fast and delivering naturally was unplanned, it was quite a traumatic experience for me because I never had a moment to stop and process what was happening. Your videos have been such a blessing in helping me process what I experienced and put knowledge behind the images and memories I have from my birth.

I’m become obsessed with your videos. This is baby number 3 and really want to do natural. Your videos are so informative!

Thank you for the amazing videos! You are doing great job informing first time moms about labor!

Everybody talks about your breathing technique. Well, I would like to let you know that I am very thankful that I bumped into your videos and learnt your breathing technique. My labour process went fast and easy when I can control the pain and deal with it. It helps my cervix dilated easily too. I didn't get to learn how to push properly from you yet but hey you helped me major in the process already.

The warm water in the birth tub helps me with the shivers. Only ring of fire I had was on my back when the midwife and nurse in the hospital flipped me as he was crowning without consent.

Im at 36 weeks. I feel more prepared than i did with my first baby. I was traumatized by labor in the hospital that i didn't want more kids, here we go seven years later. Im happy i waited, it feels like my first time except now i know what to expect and what i want.

This is one of the best channel to understand things in the most informative and clear manner! Good for you🎉

And yeah, can't wait to meet baby.. I really really hope he's got his dad's beautiful eyes 😍

I was preparing myself with videos like yours, about when to push and how to breath through contractions. When the pressure of the baby's head against me, everything was going so fast and the fight-or-flight senses kicked in. The nurses and OB/GYN came rushing in and were pressuring me to push long and hard when the ring of fire was super painful. I ended up getting the baby out in, probably only 20 minutes of pushing, but ended up with 3rd degree tears. Ugh! Hopefully I'm better prepared next time, because I never want to do that again and was so panicked, I ended up listening to the staff instead of my body, despite everything I studied and wrote in my birth plan.

These videos are great, but it's good to remember that these are generalizations and birth can go so many different ways. With my second baby my placenta felt like jello, but with my third my placenta was extremely difficult to birth, even harder than getting my second baby out had been. I felt totally blindsided by the experience and had a very hard time emotionally with my placenta struggles, I think partly because I was so surprised and confused that I was having to work extremely hard to get through the placenta part. Now I'm pregnant with my fourth and I'm working on preparing myself to practice radical acceptance all throughout birth and lean deeply into my intuition and what my body is telling me.

I remember 30 minutes of desperately wanting to push before the nurse finally gave me the okay. Then, when she set me up for pushing and I experienced the first real push, I didn’t want to push anymore (it was so so uncomfortable)! I wonder if it was because I was on my back! I’m hoping this time (2-3 weeks away!) I will be able to push in a more comfortable position.

Thanks for all your videos. I just had my cute baby and i used some of your technics and they worked.

Thank you so much for being so candid! Thank goodness I found you. I'm 38w+6d with my first child, and I've been freaking out(still am, lol), but I'm feeling much better knowing what I should more or less expect.

Getting so excited for our natural birth at a Birth Center for baby number 2. This is helpful!!!

I wish I would've watched this before I gave birth. I had a un medicated birth. I didn't handle well. Babies head got stuck on my cervix at 9cm and my body was telling me to push while nurses said I couldn't because I would tear my cervix. So after she got unstuck and I got the green to push I pushed her out in 3 pushes. I don't remember feeling the ring of fire but I tore second degree. I'm hoping for no tears next baby.

Thank you for your information. My classes are cancelled due to COVID-19 pandemic. Loved your short videos!

It's really not the labour or delivery that scares me - it's not being strong enough to telling the nurses I want to do what my body tells me NOT them. I have had two friends who recently had babies at the hospital I will be deliverying at and the nurses do seem to care what the patient wants but I'm still so nervous I will just let them tell me what to do.

Do you have a video on positions for when pushing? Which did you do that were helpful?

Hi Bridget, I am due to give birth soon and wanted to say thank you for your videos. Now with Covid, it is almost impossible to have any classes. I found your videos informative and has educated me so much on birthing.

I do have one question, I’m delivering twins. How is the process when the second one comes out? It it much easier then the first since your body has already pushed out the firSt? As well when do placentas come out if they’re seperate?

I feel like I asked for the epidural when I was in transition. I was 8cm dilated and was having the worst contractions and was projectile vomiting. I couldn’t control the pain of my contractions or my vomiting, so I asked for the epidural. I secretly prayed that I would push baby out by the time they arrived with the epidural, but that didn’t happen 😭 I got the epidural and was so happy to not feel the pain anymore. 2 hours later, I pushed baby out. I often feel sad and beat myself up about getting the epidural because I so badly wanted to birth unmedicated, but I gave in. I’m so grateful and thankful for a healthy baby and an amazing labor and delivery, but I don’t know how I could have continued with the pain and vomiting for any longer. I pray next time I will get my wish of an unmedicated labor 🙏🏼

You are awesome thank you

I wonder if the “I can’t do this!” reaction that is so common is a result of the kick of adrenaline that accompanies transition which is activating a sort of fight/flight response 🤔

When your waiting to push and its the ring of fire feeling, does that feeling fade or do you just wait and then push into it? How do you know when its safe to push?

I'm on baby 4 and I'm so worried I will tear. I'm trying to make sure i practice a lot more with this baby so I don't tear...it's hard to find doctors who support you in labor, they try to force a modern approach on me every single time and I can't just birth the way I want to.

I love this video the post of everyone 🤗

For my 2nd child, I was dilated 10cm, I had the contractions but not ovelmelming feeling the urge to push. Is it possible to be dilated at 10cm but the contractions not strong? I'm now pregnant at 34 weeks and hoping to give birth naturally at home because I feel like the midwives for my last birth just pressurized me to push for every contractions and the doctor advised me to have 2nd c sect fear of uterine rupture

With my last birth I woke up in the middle of the night with pressure feeling like I had to "poop".

I remember asking the triage nurse if I could still get an epidural. Hah!

It f****** HURTS!!

Ring of fire!!!! 🔥😫😖😭🔥

Hi, I'm wondering how streching and massage of these areas along with eating date, drinking raspberry leaves tea, applying primrose oil may affect that burning sensation. Last pregnancy I used only massage but without too much streching and I've experienced the ring of fire which ended up with rupture by midwife (she told me my baby wasn't well at this point which is impossible for me to verify) and it actually gave me relief. Also, I learned that, while on all four, I can lower my chest so that my hips are much higher and that way my baby goes down slower but does that help at that advanced stage of labour when you feel a strong urge to push? I'd love your insight. Thanks!

I was in so much pain with my two births that I never felt the ring of fire. Hoping to deliver my third in a few days and not have to experience it.

My first child got stuck, and I was in transition for 3 hours!!! I was asking for epidural after an hour, but I had to wait in line. It was crazy.

I didnt get ring of fire until after baby came out, like he came out and my whole coochie felt like it was on fire& them the nurse put a ice pack on my cooch & i was like ooohhhhh myyyy godddd yessssss lol

@@jaleysart4657 awwww !!! So happy to hear it went well for you.

Very helpful but I’m super scared. The first one is always the hardest they say.

I have not had a baby yet and don’t plan to become pregnant for a couple more years, but I am so excited to become a mom and pregnancy excites me!! I’m also interested in becoming a doula so your account is amazing ❤

First baby here, I really want to do it all natural.. My mother had 4 children, and had them all without medication. We all weighed about 7-9 lbs, and she said she did it just fine. So maybe genetics are on my side? Idk, but I want to do this naturally

I’m a little over 5 months and I’m due in February. I’m planning to go all natural and I’m so scared. Good luck to all the mamas

@@DeeJames1024 Today I’m 26 weeks and 6 days ❤️✨ I wish you a safe and amazing mama 😊

I’ve been searching high and low for info on how to breath when actively pushing, is it like on tv the “hoo hoo hee” sort of breathing? Thank you in advance to anyone who can help!

How long does the ring of fire last? I’m due in June with my 1st and really want to have an unmedicated birth

I agree so much to ur point that you say you can’t do it until you do it 😂.

I wish I watched this before I gave birth. I had a second, almost third degree tear I think because when I felt the ring of fire I just pushed right through it because I knew the only way to get it to stop was to get him out. Bummer.

How can you deal with the pain when you get them on all three places??

thank you so much for the amazing videos ! . you said that i should resist the urge of pushing during " the ring of fire " but what is the right time to push?

Great question! When women experience the ring of fire the most common reaction is to push less, but your body is going to do a lot of the pushing all on it's own at that point. So either way your body is going to be doing the work. It's really difficult to resist the urge to push by the end, so when you're feeling like you need to push, go for it!

I’m almost crying watching this video because I had such an intense urge to push but because I was only 8.5cm dilated I was not allowed to push. Resisting the urge was way to hard, I still have a ptsd from it 2.5 years later. Now I’m getting induced with baby#2 in 10 days and am so nervous about this stage of labor. I will definitely try this breathing technique but is there any other tips you can give on how to resist the urge to push? Thanks for your videos. They are so informative and I’ve been practicing some of your breathing and excerice techniques!!

Damn)) any advice for those of us expecting twins?:) first time future mom here
