so wonderful interview. i was dancing before my birth too :) and I had 2 beautiful births and all it started with one sentence on birth classes. "You should welcome every contraction because it brings you closer to your baby". That helped me the most, just welcome every contraction and relax :)

You can birth big babies!!! My first was a 10 pounder and I am 5’3” tall btw. It can be done our bodies are amazing!❤

I’m also 5’3 and have vaginally delivered a 9lb, 7oz baby, a 10lb, 12oz baby, and a 9lbs, 12oz baby. Pregnant with my 4th I haven’t watched this video though 😊 just wanted to comment

I'm getting that fear mongering speech from family right now because I'm past my due date and my belly bump is "really big/shocking." As if its an anomaly.

This made me SO happy. I am pregnant, but for years before now have been fascinated by birth! in the process of unlearning "birth is horrific... so painful... etc." I feel so empowered. This aligns so much more with who I am as a person.

I had the most beautiful c/s experience with my son. Immediate skin to skin, so calm with beautiful music in the background. It was absolutely incredible.

Do you have a playlist you could share?

This is really cool to watch and learn about! My first birth was horrible. I was in a really bad marriage (the kind where you’re always on eggshells) . When I went into labor my body would NOT open. My midwife was terrible and un-empathetic. I knew nothing of about or birth and was terrified. She tried to force open my hip bones and force open my cervix with her hand in me during contractions while I was kicking and backing across the floor trying to get away cause it was so painful. (It’s not normal. The midwife was my then husband’s mother who hated me so it was not normal situation. Very messed up family) I was in labor all of a Thursdays night no sleep. They stopped on Friday but I was wide awake. It started again full force on Friday night all night and into Saturday with still no sleep or rest. She had me pushing hard long before my body was ever ready. Finally I was so exhausted and tired I asked to go to the hospital. She drove there so slow and talked on the phone like I wasn’t in serious labor pain at this point. I finally felt like pushing in the car but held back. When we did arrive at the hospital I was still in full blown labor and of course they slowly work through getting your info before allowing you in. I wanted to cuss people out so bad! I was so tired I gave in and got an epidural. The medical staff was beyond rude. FINALLY at 11:05 pm Saturday night my son was born! They tried to pull up my shirt and put the baby on my breast with all my ex’s family in the room. I had no privacy and was so uncomfortable with the whole situation I never did bond with my first son. The nurses wouldn’t leave us alone all night so that was night 3 of no sleep. When I finally got home Sunday, it was to his (my ex’s) entire family (parents and 7 siblings) in my living room uninvited and expecting to pass around my new baby and visit! I felt like having such a mental breakdown! I was too naive and a victim back then to know nothing I was in or went through was normal at all! In the end, that marriage ended. I truly was clueless to the kind of perverted messed up family I had married into. It’s been 8 years since January 15th I left with my son. My day of freedom as I call it. 😅 Since then I gained much more confidence, a backbone, and God blessed me with a truly amazing godly husband. We had our first daughter almost 2 years ago and the experience was so different! I still experienced some fear from the first traumatic birth of my son, but because I was safe, I was able to relax and have a wonderful unmedicated water birth! The experience was AMAZING and so was bonding with my baby! I’m now 26 weeks with our second and looking forward to it being even better with all I’ve learned! It really can be a beautiful experience even if you started with a seriously traumatic one!

Thank you so much for sharing your story. You should be so proud of yourself! ❤

Birth can be so blissful! I didn’t realize that until I birth undisturbed!

This episode is a keeper! I'm currently in week 34 and I think I will watch this at least once more as I approach the birth. Following on your journey, Ellen and tuning into podcasts such as this one has changed my view of birth SO MUCH. As a first time mom, I feel much more ready and calm and I can say that I am actually excited to go into this (which hasn't always been a case. ) Thank you for sharing your experiences and bringing relevant people on :) Keep up the good work!

AND the "sweep" can intriduce harmful bacteria into the birth canal - despite provider sanitation efforts... Same with manually checking dilation

I have had my first baby 6 months ago. Now I'm sitting here wishing this video came out earlier. Now I feel like I have to have another one straight away to use all these great tips 😂🙏♥️

The Naked Doula is the BEST! Floppy Face, Floppy Fanny made my last labor so east! 😍

I love episodes about birth and pregnancy! I'm no where near ready to bring a child into the world, but I've always wanted to be a mother and I'm so excited for the day it happens. I used to be so scared of the idea of giving birth, so much so that I convinced myself I didn't ever want kids. But after learning so much through listening to things like this, I feel like when the time comes I will be so prepared and know exactly what I need and what to do! Even though it'll likely be years until any of this actually applies to me, I think putting in the work now to rewire my brain from all the fear based narratives will have a huge impact on my future experience. Manifesting a beautiful and powerful experience for myself

My first birth was a coerced, fear based induction. Me and baby were not ready.. 9mpp I am still healing from the emotional and physical trauma but conversations and platforms like yours Ellen bring peace to me and help me look forward with positivity to the next birth! Love your message and all you do to empower women.

@@rebeccalovett-kotze3695 Ooh we’re not far apart! Aussie here too ☺️ Good luck with your summer baby! That’s such a good point about the expense involved (with home birth). I wish that was part of the conversation more. Giving birth where you feel safest is fantastic and obviously the ideal, but also not always possible in terms of (equitable) access to resources. We have private cover including maternal health/maternity services but when we investigated it actually covered very little. We were going to be thousands out of pocket going that route. so decided to go public, and luckily our public hospital has a new L&D centre run primarily by midwives.

@@hazelscobbie8290 Thanks yes I know it’s not essential, but it does look interesting. Unfortunately I can’t justify $680 for interesting at the moment! I think Ellen has been quite open in the past that if she had complications she would go to a hospital without question. And so true! Everyone seems to have (often unwanted) advice. I’ve already been on the receiving end of some crazy statements from people I thought knew better

​@Oceana there are a select few hospitals in Aus that offer home births with their own midwives which is still covered under Medicare. Not sure where you are but it could be an option in your area for your next baby. I'm referencing a public hospital in Newcastle NSW but I'm sure there's others

“Floppy face floppy Fanny is helping with my endometriosis cramps thanks so much ❤

Great informative episode Ellen. I 100% agree Oxytocin plays a significant role in Labor and birthing :)

My mother in law birthed her last son at 11lbs all natural on all fours! He’s 20 now lol

If feelings=outcome then how do you actually fix the feelings of fear and nervousness?

Yes! I was just talking with my husband about how I know if I learn to really relax and completely let go and enjoy sex that I know it will help me so much in labor. If you can't be calm and enjoy sex with your partner then you won't be able to in birth either! It also helps train my brain to let my husband take care of me in labor and trust him fully in all intimate moments

I think no force pushing is so interesting. When I gave birth to my son I went into it knowing that I wanted to bear down but in the moment I got impatient and forgot all about it and just listened to my midwife who was telling me to push. I did tear. So this time I’m going to talk with my midwife about it so we’re on the same page and I can have the experience I want

Petition for Emma to write a book!!! She is so knowledgeable and shares her information in such a unique way. I would LOVE to read her take on pregnancy and birth in a book. I think it would be beneficial to SOO many women. What a gift she is and you too Ellen. Thanks so much for this episode.

❤❤❤❤ I had my 1st with C-section, my 2nd v-bac, my 3rd is due in few weeks with "new twist" on some values indicating higher risk of pre-eclampsia i.e. might get induced...... I'm so grateful for this conversation and reassurance via reframing that birth (all kinds) can be blissful. Oh thank you ❤❤❤❤❤

So are you saying to have sex?

I thought you couldn’t have sex after losing your mucus plug, or after your water popping due to the risk of infection. By “be intimate with your husband”, do you mean sex?
