This is the best explanation I have heard. I think its hard for most people to hear this because we live in such a comfy society but it is so true, embrace being uncomfortable and you will grow

OMG that hurt that definitely takes a lot of mental strengthen I totally understand why this would be a good practice I will definitely be doing this again

WOW I was surprised at how painful that was but it really gave me confidence on where to place my mind and practice breathing I know it won’t be the same but it definitely is painful enough for good practice 😂 Thank you!

Such good information, not just for labor but life in general.

Currently 27 weeks pregnant with my 7th. Definitely going to try this, I’m going to pair it with my Ina may gaskins relaxation technique.

I turned 36 weeks today due august 31 I have been watching all of your videos thank you so much ❤

@@hajeralanazi8379 it went very good my labor was fast i labor for most of it at home once I got to hospital I was 7cm .. I went natural no epidural I push about 4 times and she was out 🥰 this was my first time no meds and pushing my first baby was 7yrs ago he was born via c-section….I had her in hospital but it was very beautiful and peaceful the staff followed my birth plan and was very nice and considerate we also had a doula the contractions was no joke but you can do it just breathe and have a made up mind . it comes to a point where you want to give up but know when you get there that the baby is right around the corner (transition phase) stay grounded this was where I needed the most support

I use a similar technique - every time I stub my toe or otherwise get hurt during pregnancy I use my breathing technique and try and relax my body thru it. It's amazing how much we tense our body up over just a stubbed toe!! You don't realize until you actively try and relax thru pain how much tensing is our default response.

Yes yes yes! You’re so right and love that you use this in other areas. It’s so helpful!

I'm on my 3rd pregnancy and I've been facing fear and worrying how this delivery will go. I will definitely do this because there's so much power in mentally preparing. Thank you so much for this video!

I always just make it to 30 seconds…and my hands still burn half an hour later 😢 I think for me it would actually be a good distraction from labor pain…..that’s why I’m bringing combs to the delivery room to torture my hands. Maybe it’s a good thing my hands are so sensitive 😅👍🏻

I just tried this and it was a total torture for me to hold on to it for a min. But I agree it's a good distraction 😂😂 hopefully the actual contraction won't be that painful!

I don't know if I wasn't holding it tight enough, but it didn't seem to hurt that much. Then again, I've been through labor before.

How many times a day do we need to do that ice challenge?

as much as i prepared i still ended up taking the epidural 😅
