This! I am 39+2 also right now and have had contractions the last TWO nights meaning I didn’t get much sleep and then they go away after I go to work. But it also just feels like I always need to sit on the toilet 😫 I haven’t been dilating at all yet, but I’m hoping this is helping it start!

This is EXACTLY what I need right now, 37 weeks with the random back aches and surges, only dialated 1cm, barely thinned or anything 😬 fingers crossed this baby gets going!!

When did you end up having the baby?

I’m 30 weeks, FTM and it still is so crazy to think that there really is a little baby inside of me! Thank you for all your videos, they have helped me so much!

Thank you for all these topics that are not easily found online nor spoken of anywhere else. You’ve been such a blessing for me to be educated about not only child birth but also, to be educated about the 4th trimester (PP) and taking care of a new born. Thank you for all the efforts and positivity you shine our way ❤️

I’m due the 25th and have been having labor start and stop for days now! I will definitely be trying all these tips ASAP.

I kept going into prelabor from 37 weeks til the day I had my baby girl at 41weeks 2 days. Since I was overdue I was induced (1/4 of misoprostol) around when contractions started which was 10pm. She was here by 12:30 am so all that prodromal labor made my labor so much more smooth.

So encouraging! I’m 39 weeks with my third baby and the last 3 weeks I had been having false labor that I never had with my first two. So crazy how different every labor is!

I'm getting ready for birth #5 and gosh I wish I had found your videos a couple of babies ago! Some of your information I've heard or experienced, but it's great to revisit things and to keep learning, and your tone and overall perspective is absolutely right on. Thank you so much for all your videos and for sharing this information for free with women. I will be sure to share links with friends and really want to thank you for what you're doing.

Love this video! Food and drink is so important in childbirth but so often women feel like they don't want to eat or drink anything but you must. In one of my antenatal books, I once read that we can burn up to 9000 calories in labour. So, if we don't eat or stay hydrated, we can burn out and our bodies simply haven't got the energy to contract effectively or dilate the cervix. This can really elongate prodromal labour and the start/stop scenario. My labour was 24 hours long which is not that long for a first labour (12-18 hour is the average) and i was exhausted by the end. As a hypnobirthing teacher, I knew the importance of rest, food and drink and optimal positioning for my baby so I had tools to help me keep going. I didn't feel like I wanted to eat but I made sure that i accepted little bites of food regularly from my partner so I could keep my contractions coming. Good luck to all the mamas out there! Wishing you a great birth experience, Anja xxxx

Thank you for this! I've had start and stop labor for a couple weeks now...it is so frustrating! Baby was 40 weeks yesterday, so I'm anxious for her to come. It's our first, so it can be so confusing trying to read the signs. I definitely have had alot of low cramping off and on for days, but that hasn't turned into anything substantial. Today I've had so much tightening, cramping and a couple of contractions, but it seems to be start and stop. So, I'm going to do your 5 exercises and hopefully get this little girl going! Thanks so much for your suggestions and expertise!!

Thank you, Bridget for the differentiation. I was thinking bad about myself. People said that Ive been overreacting about the pain. Between braxton hicks and pre-labor!! but this is my first time even my profession is a doctor.

my contractions started at 29 weeks after I had a nightmare so I'm feeling that birth begins in the brain.....I recognize your voice from the connecting to baby in the womb meditation which I liked listening to in first trimester....

This is my 3rd pregnancy and I’m still needing to watch these videos!

Thank you for this video. I have been extremely frustarted over the last 2 days. Keeps getting fast and painful and then stopping. I felt like I was losing my mind. Like I couldn't trust myself or my body to do this. I'm glad to here this can happen. I took benadryl last night and got good sleep and today I'm focusing on eating a lot more then I did the last 2 days. As far as mindset, I have a 4 year old, and I'm military. So not knowing who is going to be available to take her for me when I go to the hospital is really messing with my mindset. I've decided to take her with me, the hospital will allow her in the room until I have to push. So I might just have to push alone, meaning without my husband. But at least I will feel more comfortable.

You are simply the BEST you have calmed me so much when I'm close to giving birth.

This helped me feel like less of a failure. I'm a first time mom, 39.5 weeks along. I've been dilated 2cm , 40 percent effaced, and dealing with random contractions for 2 weeks now and I honestly started feeling like there was something wrong with my body. I started using your hypno birthing videos a few days ago to help myself get rid of fear and I already feel like my contractions are more consistent. I am so ready to meet my little boy. My due date is Jan 20th, wish me luck!!

I had the start and stop and was not prepared. I wanted rest but there’s so many interruptions in your room, the doctors wouldn’t let me eat or drink because they assumed surgery was likely, didn’t feel safe in the middle of covid, and baby was positioned right but not being supported or safe and rushed by doctors was not optimal. Mama’s be prepared to be your own advocate and listen to these videos they will make a lot of sense when you’re experiencing these things that can’t be understood until it happens to you.

The most useful information I gained was about hypnobirthing. I listened to your videos every night and I truly believed they really helped. I was able to labor and birth a baby for the 4 this time pain med free. I also went into labor on my own without being induced which has only happened once before. Thank you so much for dedicating your time to help expecting moms. I love how you emphasize how important the mind set is. With your help I was able to be so calm and breath through my contractions so well that hospital staff did not believe I was in labor when I got there. They took their time setting up and when I was finally checked out I was at 9 centimeters. Lol. Again, thank you! I look forward to seeing updates on your pregnancy 🤰🏼 ❤️❤️❤️

Feeling really encouraged and more educated...Thank you so much, God bless you

Perfect timing on this one.. I'm due in 8 days and had two very long and stressful birhts behind me and was/am scared this one would go the same way.. Dilating with close and very intense contractions, getting to the hospital and the contractions just stopped and it was so hard getting them back on track.. And when they finally did I just wouldn't dilate anymore. I was so devastated that labor stopped again and they said were gonna wait one more hour and if nothing happens we'll do a c section (which I wanted to avoid). Luckily I finally got a pda wich helped tremendously, I could finally sleep for 5 hours (first sleep in three days) and woke up at 9cm dialeted.. But it was an exhausting journey to get to this point. And everyone said next child will be easier... Turns out the exact same thing happened again.. Now I'm here and know what went wrong! Thank you so much!!!! I'm so hopeful now that this time around it CAN go smoother and I'm not just a helpless case ❤️ thank you for your wisedome and information I found nowhere else..

I had one traumatic experience in the same hospital before both births, but went to therapy and thought I was good with it. Even though the staff and birth teams were incredible both times and I felt really comfortable during birth, unconsciously I probably couldn't really let go and kind of stopped my progression (?) This time around I'm going to a much smaller hospital with a lot calmer homier birthing delivery rooms (as opposed to very clinical and steril rooms). Unfortunately a home birth or birthing center is not an option for me so I'm hoping by changing the environment I can truly let go there and have a progressing and effective labor without medication 😊

Thank you for posting. Im 41.5 weeks today with my second and though i basically feel fine and he is a busy boy i still feel some pressure to intervention. Im having an ultra sound to check on him tomorrow and watched all your induction videos to be educated on my options. My mid wife is doing fine i just doubt myself and feel mixed messages on the safety of waiting for him to come when he wants. I think im going to keep at it and let him come when he wants unless the ultrasound reads poorly. I am pumping some to help but its not doing much for me but that’s ok. I assure myself that atleast im toughening up for feeding or eventually may get out some to help feed the baby if they struggle with a tongue tie. Im not getting much out at all so really its whatever but its something that gives me a false sense of control or helping the situation😅

Thank you so much for the info. Been waiting to hear from my OB for two days and sent him a message again 9 hours ago. Thanks for your education video.

I've been loving your videos for these. it's so helpful knowing I'm not alone.

I’m due October 19th. I got checked at the hospital I’m 2cm but my contractions are very sporadic so they sent me home. They stop and start for the past two days. They have gotten more painful but they aren’t consistent. I can feel the babies head push down on my cervix, which I didn’t have with my 1st born.

39+6 weeks … baby due tomorrow (22-2-2022!) I thought I was in the early stages of labour last night, called my midwife, we had bags ready to go, went to bed early and….. woke up 9 hours later feeling absolutely normal. Husband went to work with less of a restful sleep. So frustrating! I thought labour was just not progressing but clearly I was only experiencing pre labour symptoms. Thanks for clarifying. Crossing fingers for tomorrow!!! Ps every labour IS different! Our first baby had a severe heart condition (she didn’t survive), and labour hit me like a brick wall and was so intense for the entire 27 hour run that even the hospital staff were blown away by the intensity of my contractions. Thank heavens for epidurals. COVID restrictions this time round mean I don’t get one unless I need intervention 😑

If I could give you any advice as a mama who has had a home birth. Do not try to push on your back. Water is great but you should not be in it for too long or you risk tearing more. Squatting is the absolute best position if u can hold it or someone can support u. A squatty potty works well for a birthing stool. Remember, stay off your back during pushing. Good luck!

My doctor did a membrane sweep Friday then mucus plug came out and has been coming out for like 2 days now. Contractions have been on and off. Then they stopped so I was wondering if you think membrane sweep kinda messed my body up somewhat? At doctors appointment Friday I was 3cm dilated and 70% effaced at 38 weeks and 2 days. She said my son is big and is probably around 8 pounds so that’s why she wanted to do it. Thoughts about that please?

Can you please do a video on labor with vaginismus? Due Sept 1st with my first baby and I didn’t want a epidural at all but now seems like it might be my only choice...HELP!

Wondering why I'd be experiencing prodromal labor if baby is definitely in position, definitely punching cervix all day and I'm resting, eating etc... maybe some women just go through this to then have a shorter active labor?

39+4 with baby #5... longest pregnancy thus far. Not sure when this little guy will come 😂😂 I've been in pre-labor for like a week

Drs also think they may have got my dates wrong so on my files I'm 37 weeks but midwife thinks I'm closer to 39 weeks.

And my pelvis feels like it is dislocating and popping when I move I'm a hot mess rn but midwife has offered me a sweep next week if bub hasn't arrived by then so fingers, toes, eyes ...hell everything crossed !!!

Riana Tomkins Aw don’t be disheartened! Soon you will meet your precious baby! I finally give birth after 4 days and 3 nights with contractions. The last night the contractions were even more intense (“real” labor I guess). By then my body was too tired from all the contractions that I went to the hospital begging for an epidural. I was 5cm dilated. But finally my baby is here with me and I’m so in love! 🥰

@@Monicamcs Congratulations! That's so nice to hear. It's a good reminder that there is an end to it. I hope I can meet my baby too soon.

I’ve been dealing with this for 12 days now. I’m 33 weeks and was admitted to L&D this week because my body kept trying to go into labor but, I have a cervical cerclage. The doctors decided to remove the cerclage, ouchie, to hopefully help my uterus relax because it might be irritated . Well, 12 hours after being released from the hospital my body decided to contract ALL DAY AND NIGHT! Contractions coming every 5 mins even. We went back to L&D and was observed only to find out that my cervix wasn’t changing. They sent me home to take Benadryl and I finally got some sleep. I’m still continuing to contact with rather painful contractions throughout today and night. I’m in this weird situation where I obviously don’t want my baby girl to be born prematurely but my body is so miserable and emotionally I’m over it already. They gave me steroid injections to help with the development of her lungs. I know she’ll be ok if born now as I’ll be 34 weeks in 2 days, but still. 😢 Just wanted to share my journey thus far in case anyone else can relate!💞🎀💞🎀

Update: 36 weeks and still dealing with it! It is better with the Percocet an Ambien my doctor gave me about a week ago. But, if I don’t take the pain medication as prescribed, they come back with a vengeance!

38+5 with my water broken and zero contractions, only mild cramping.. watching all the videos now to get me ready, haha.

I'm so frustrated right now. 39 weeks 3 days and due august 23rd. Been dilated since monday 10th with irregular mild contractions all week and its now 18th august. Last two days contractions have been regular and increasing in frequency and have been becoming more painful and this morning I lost my plug. Had a stretch and sweep yesterday afternoon. Contractions started out 15 minutes apart two days ago, then 10 minutes apart, then 7 minutes apart then they went away. They came back the next night (last night) and at 7-8 minutes apart then were consistently 6 minutes apart for over an hour and had gotten gradually more and more painful. I had been lying in bed during the contractions because I was tired and it was late and then when I got up to go pee and get food they eased off and stopped completely. Here I am three days after my contractions became regular and increasing and they fricken stopped again and I'm so sick and tired of all of it. I was so scared that the labour would stall for a second time and typically it did! This is ridiculous! I've been cramping for over a week and no progress and now I have regular contractions that increase in severity and it just starts and stops and I'm getting nowhere. My body is a useless crappy thing and I'm bloody done. I know that stressing about the contractions stalling is probably what stalled them, but how can I not stress about them stalling when I know they are going to stall????

You poor thing 😱 hope you got through it all ok ❤❤❤

39+5 common baby! lol I get slightly painful braxton hicks and some in my lower back also, sometimes 7 an hour. Sometimes none for hours. 2cm opened last week and soft cervix but still high. Altho my cervix is always high also with my previous baby up until the last stages of labor. Ive had lightening, and in the evening my baby is often moving a lot and conssttaannttllyy on my bladder. When I go for walks I need to walk slow and get lots ofbraxton hicks also. He has turned to the right side tho. ROT vs LOT. But my babies always seem to lay on the side and never straight :S

Currently 41+2 and have been in early labour for 24 hours and now it's stalled!!!

Hi Bridget 😊

Im 38w6d & have been 3.5-4cm & 75% effaced since 35w (had pre-term labor that stopped) & ever since then these contractions have played with every emotion in me. So over it😒

I've been having on and off contractions for about a week, and today they've been stronger and more intense, but still not in labor! 😩 They get close together, 5-7mins apart but then stop. At my 38w appt on Friday, my midwife did a cervical check and she noted in mychart that the baby is in the posterior position, but she didn't explain that to me while in the office. When I saw that info in mychart today, I searched up if maybe that's why my body hasn't progressed and you came up. I'm going to definitely try to see if I can get him to turn these next few days before my next appt on Friday. They offered to do a membrane sweep at that appt, but I'm hesitant. This is my 3rd baby and I didn't have this much of a hard time with my first 2.

This is exactly what I needed, I’m due tomorrow and I keep having false labour, it’s so hard 😅

Thank you for your amazing videos and sharing your passion for mamas with us as a Doula. Especially for many of the Corona babies and mamas around the world. I’m currently in my final week of pregnancy and your videos have been helpful with so many things I’m facing ahead. Thank you! Hopefully baby will come soon in the next few days. 🤰🏻🌈💟🌌Diana @SumBodyArt

I had contractions since 1pm on Friday (2/5/21) it happened through Saturday morning at 7 mins apart. then by afternoon they stopped. Started up again around 4pm but 10 mins apart. I’ve slept but I think that’s the reason they slowed down. Its 1:40am now on Sunday, I’m so exhausted!! Help!

Just wanna inform other new moms, 1cm doesn't means you have to wait more than 1 week until baby comes out, cause like my experience from my 1st son in the morning i was 1cm and then I take a walk in the afternoon cause my ob told me that i have to wait a week until my baby comes out and while walking my mucus flug came out then next is the fluid i rush on the hospital that afternoon and then told me i was 7cm until my baby come out in that day. From 1cm in the morning upto 7cm in the afternoon, but still it dependes on the baby too whether he/she wanted to came out soon or not,

Indeed! I've been at 1cm for 3 weeks now and baby still isn't here

What about breech position, how turn normal dilvery of breech position baby

I have 6 days till my due date … I’ve been having contractions on and off for the last week, I had three days where it started to get more intense and then on the 4th day just totally dropped off, it’s finally starting up again so fingers crossed this time he’ll come

38 weeks now, sometimes I can tell he’s the right way because his but and back are pushed out. But then he will move and be sideways. He moves throughout the day. So I’m not sure what to think

I’m 40+5 weeks and only 1cm dilated but has constant contractions but they always stop and I’m so tired

I've had true labor a couple times only at night for some reason had one night where contractions got as close as 7 minutes and then they started getting father apart until they basically stopped I'm 39 weeks and would rather not have to be induced I'm already 3cm dilated I just need the contractions to kick up and stay up.

how did you achieve this look lights camera lots?

I have experienced this for a week (3rd baby) and when it first started, I lost my mucus plug and went to the hospital. It was embarassing to be told it was false. I feel like I will never have this baby :( I am 4 days overdue and I am just exhausted

I’ve been having the same problem, also my 3rd baby! I went to the hospital twice and each time they said I dilated a cm more but still nothing. 😩 38 wks 2days now

Can you do a video on how to prep your body for labor before it begins? I'm drinking the red raspberry tea and eating dates, but do movements on the yoga ball help during the 3rd trimester? At what point does sex really help things along? Can I do the stair climbing while skipping a step to get my pelvis moving or is that really just for trying to induce your own labor? I'm all about prepping so just looking for helpful tips (currently 34 weeks preggo).

I’m currently 39weeks, and am eating pineapple to help soften my cervix, and as far as I’ve researched semen doesn’t actually have a high enough level of prostaglandins to actually effect much, but sex in general and especially orgasms both release oxytocin and can cause uterine contractions! Best of luck!!

In labour but the pains keep coming and going with time interval 5 to7 minutes apart the contraction can last ten to 15second

I am 38 weeks as of today, and today I have been induced with the foley bulb, prior to this, my cervix was soft and I was 1.5cm dilated. I had some extreme contractions that came every 6 minutes, and then I went and had a shower, and they’ve stopped completely. I’m being induced early do to having low pappA and GDM. I am a first time mama

So I'm about to be 39 weeks pregnant and I haven't even feel any contraction or Braxton hicks... what should I do
