Big babies are easier to give birth to. The muscles grab on much easier

Then theres me my doctor tried to scare me to get induced and force her out i have 2 days left and they tried to be like “ she can die if u don’t get her out “ im like her heart rate fine my BP 118 she almost 3 dilated 🗿🗿

@@yunggrlshady6762the same happened to me and I’m getting induced in a few hours 😢

@@alissa3892how did your birth go??? Hope you and baby are healthy and you’re getting at least a little rest. It may be hard now, but it will get easier. Godspeed to you and baby. 🙏🏻❤️

​@@AllScarsHealTarotcardreader lol, tell that to every girl I know that had big babies, including me with a 10lb baby.

Bruh that is horrible

Was this woman medication and anesthesia free for a hysterectomy. I don't believe that.?!

​@@pualani609local9 No meds that I know of. She went thru hypnotherapy for several months with the hypnotist and a surgeon. During surgery she was totally hypnotized. Believe it or not. Your option.

Anesthesia allergies are extremely rare.. and when they occur, it's not for every anesthesia in existence, only some types

Just to clarify, hypnobirthing is very different from hypnosis.

Absolutely wonderful. I did this at home...if I'd have been in hospital I would have worn ear plugs or had my tracks up so hight to avoid hearing anything they said haaaa

I’ve heard that the “breathing” out the baby is the best type of birthing. Like there’s purple pushing (hold your breath and push) and “breathing down” (which you did). Purple pushing is good when baby is in distress (but may also cause it) and it needs to come out quicker, but breathing down is how I hope to deliver once I have a baby (I’ve been practicing with my endometriosis cramps lmao and breathing definitely does a lot for pain)

@@BexsBoxofConfusion yes 100%. Birth (as long as baby isn't in distress) is natural...just like a poop...no one tells you when to push...your body knows how and when to release. Your contractions are useful in that they help get baby into position and they help push baby into the Birth canal. So there's a certain type of breathing for the first stages called "up breathing " and another kind that's called "down breathing ". They truly get baby in position and aid the natural process along with moving your body in whatever way feels right to you. Water is also so relaxing....it's nature's epidural.

How do you breathe baby out though? When I was pushing woth my first I couldn't help but hold my breath, I wish I knew how to do what you say here

@@madisparkles did you have an epidural? It’s also about waiting until your body is essentially pushing baby out by itself. If you have an epidural and/or are lying or your back and/or immediately start pushing when you reach 10cm you’re going to have to push a lot. Imagine women who give birth on highways on the way to hospitals, they can’t hold baby back no matter how hard they try bc the body is pushing the baby out. Ofc every experience is different

Well my son was back to back and due to his position and having a very large head... He was STUCK... Is hoped for a drug free birth but fate had different plans...

Why do people take pride in how much pain they can endure? This does not make you a better person because you chose to suffer (needlessly) vs someone else who chooses pain medication

And/or if the baby decides otherwise. They also have a “mentality”. I took a hypnobirthing course, and planned for a drug free birth. Ha! My daughter after 28 hours of labor had to be delivered by c-section. Just sayin’! She had other plans.

@@nicolaxoxo1right? 😂

That’s great but what does natural even mean?

Yes, that's pretty much it. Hypnobirthing takes away the fear of birth and brings back belief in the body and the birthing process

Amen. Mine was total opposite 😅

❤❤❤

Thank you ❤ mine were so hard 😢 I've always had extreme guilt for not being able to breastfeed also the nurse that came in after I gave birth told me that I was going to be starting off my daughter's life by taking away what she needs most by not giving her breast milk. After being SA'd I couldn't. I tried I swear I did. It just brought back everything for some reason and I couldn't do it so my baby got formula and that nurse treated me so awful. Ive always had guilt about it

​@@amandajakubowski7931 That nurse sounds horrible and was 100% in the wrong for saying that. Many people can't (or choose not to) breastfeed for many reasons, but so many of the benefits come from just holding your baby close and snuggling with them, regardless of what you're feeding them. And fed is best!

Thank you. My plan was for my husband & I to give freebirth in the deep Coast Redwood Forest. I was studying midwifery with two teachers when I got pregnant (& had to quit soon thereafter for months of bedrest). My child's Birth was induced because of severe pre-eclampsia. That was the BEGINNING of the serious complications, intervention, & trauma of that Birth. I suffered a Near-Death Experience from the destruction & trauma of bringing my precious baby through the Veil. Did I get the orgasmic free birth I wanted? No. Did my baby live? Yes! Did I live? Yes! And, I got to raise the most amazing, beautiful baby!❤️ How Birth turns out is not what matters--though, of course striving for the one you want is ok. Having a healthy child is what matters .

Nature is unpredictable. Things can so so wrong so fast. One minute you’re in a normal pregnancy, then next you’re rushed in for induction. But Any mom who went through pregnancy and birth whether natural or section are powerhouses and great display of a woman’s strength. ❤

Modern medicine is fantastic ❤ we should be thankful there’s things there when things go awry rather than shame those who had to do what was best. I was born premature due to my mom’s severe pre-eclampsia, and thanks to modern medics we’re all alive today. C-section recovery sounds really rough, and caring for a baby alongside it… you did great!!

😭 Thank you for saying this. ❤ I still cry sometimes (probably pregnancy hormones). I’m pregnant and planning to have my fourth C-section in 5 years probably at the end of August. It still hurts sometimes that my first two babies couldn’t fit out/I couldn’t progress. Preeclampsia twice and GD for the third time this time doesn’t help either. I had a uterine window last time. I don’t know why I desire a vaginal birth so bad, but I do.

Thank you for saying this. Your words are very comforting.

I’m similar to you and gave birth in Oct 2022! I was always so scared of it and had an amazing, intervention free birth at a hospital (labored at home for the majority and got there at 9.5 cm 😬)It was also way less scary and painful than I anticipated. The hip squeeze/ pressure and ujjayi breaths were huge helps. I’m pregnant again and planning a home birth this time. It’s cool to find someone who had a similar experience to me. Thanks for commenting 💞🦋

@@emilyharris7273 That’s amazing! Good luck with your home birth!

I’m a first time mama that is now full term and patiently waiting for my little ones arrival any day now…we are doing a home waterbirth using hypnotherapy ❤ I feel so calm and ready for this transformational experience to bring my baby into this world. Many happy tears❤️❤️

Congrats!! Wishing you a beautiful and unforgettable experience ❤️

Hi! This is awesome where can I buy a tens machine ? 🙏🏽

I plan to do it as UN-naturally as possible. A spaceship and all

You didn’t get side effects?

I’ve had 3 epidurals and 3 naturals so far, they both definitely have their pros and cons! My 7th I’m hoping for natural again.

@@asmaj.631I didn’t get side effects from my epidural. 10 hours of super close contractions with barely any dilation because my baby was OP before the epidural was god awful. My baby rotated as soon as I was able to relax

I hear you I had an epidural four times with four kids and I was completely happy and satisfied. No pain, talking through delivery. Ate dinner and went home.

Yass, i loved my epidural. I probably would've died without it. Props to women who can do it natural than me😂

At home or hospital?

It's so incredible hearing stories like yours! I can't wait to have this transition from maiden to mother! Your story is helping reprogram my mind and release all of the negative programming society has pushed on all of us

No, we are many

@@sensualnina83 I have huge respect for you guys

They are all good points however with regards to the last part, I feel more women need to listen to themselves and their bodies, educate themselves on the ins and outs of everything they can instead of relying too much on those in the medical field. Yes those people have their place just like videos like this equally have their place but educating yourself and being able to advocate for yourself and your baby should always be encouraged imo.

You could not be more wrong. Your "doctors and medical team" are specifically to blame for millions of insanely traumatic births that affect the entire lives of those involved. Humans have been giving birth naturally in the way the video showed for thousands of years, whereas the new method of medical intervention during birth is almost brand new. Being completely doped up during your pregnancy is absolutely not the optimal environment for you or your baby, nor should you promote it as such.

Yes modern medicine has done more to complicate natural birth than to make it easier. The things they do to Speed up delivery for doctor convenience can cause problems months and year later for moms, like rectoceles from episiotomies. Modern society pushes the notion that many women can't having natural childbirth or nurse their babies because it is filled with practices that make these natural process more complicated. Biologically the vast majority of women are capable of natural birth and exclusively Breastfeeding but they chose to do things that sabotage the process. Just be honest when it's your choice and not a medical emergency.

@@socksandshoes8033 medical interventions are in place to save lives, not to make it more convenient or faster for doctors😂😂 come on now

Exactly!!

❤

Having specific breathing patterns in Lamaze got annoying to me. Just slow deep breathing in Bradley Method was easier for me. Bottom line you need lot of oxygen and whatever relaxes you.

Your body isn't broken, it did exactly what it is meant to do! Trying to hold a baby in that is ready to come out isn't gonna work any time, either lol. Congratulations to you and your hard work!

Update: something went wrong. Like I knew it would. Had a baby at 35weeks she's in NICU. On oxygen.

Did you use a TENS machine specifically for labor? There’s a difference, which I didn’t know before learning from my doula. I used one, and it helped sooo much. I remember when she first hooked it up, I said “oh I think I can do this”.

I was induced and aside from the last 45 mins where i dialated drastically it wasnt that painful at all. I had my baby in less than 4 hrs and had a good time. Almost birthed him in the car tho 😂

@plamondonworks6948 when you were induced were you on pain meds already though (epidural, etc)? Also, was it Pitocin specifically for the induc?

​​@@janice9760 Yep it was during labor. Didn't help at all. Kept it on level 3 so idk if that makes a difference or not with the pain relief.

@@YasmeenV.-jh2ro Well there are TENS machines that are not for labor; hopefully they didn’t use one of those on you! I had it on constantly, and when I got a contraction I would hit boost mode. I do remember my doula saying that they work best if put on early in labor. Every woman and labor are different though, and what works for one may not work for another.

There are accounts and courses you can follow online. Try hypnobirthing with Anya on KZfaq or look up the Birth Box course ❤

It’s a meditation 🧘🏻‍♀️ technique, kinda like hypnotized your self to relax during the process to make it less scary and overall less painful, cause some believe that once you’re on a state of stress and scared your body has a more difficult time.

Thank you❤

I mean... all my friends who had epidurals/inductions ect don't describe their births as positive. They were just happy it was over. Why can't we admit that some experiences are simply better than others? It doesn't make the person themselves better or worse.

I can see that! My slower births it was so much easier for me to get into a state of calm and focus my thoughts. If your labor is fast or you aren’t able to focus until later when the surges are more intense, I can see it being harder to reach that state of calm.

I think it might be beneficial to look into some hypnobirthing information now to help give you some other points of view. I’m on my 9th pregnancy (2 ended in miscarriage) and I’ve experienced a whole variety of emotions at this point. Now I’m 40 and pregnant with my 7th baby to hold and I am at the point of gratitude more than any of the fears and anxieties. But I did have to work on healing some wounds and fears I had. I don’t know if you’re religious or spiritual, but for me my faith and the Lord stepped in to help me with that a lot. I’ve come to a place of recognizing the beauty of my own fertility and ability to conceive and give birth to children as an incredible gift. It’s been so freeing for me to be able to fully embrace this part of my femininity, instead of living in fear or pregnancy and birth (which I have also experienced in the past). Sometimes the miserable things that we go through turn out to be the most gratifying experiences. Those experiences also help us grow and develop into better versions of ourselves. I hope the best for you. My biggest advice is to pray for healing for any wounds and fears you have and just take it from there. Wish I could talk to you more about this, best of luck!

@@catiemsimpson my goodness congratulations! That’s really well put and I thank you very much for your knowledge, I need to fully truly step into my faith and pray. Thank you truly and best of luck as well!

It's different for each person, but I feel what makes it all worth it, is 1 to take it one day at a time and not anticipate the bad stuff. 2 try to look for remedies for pregnancy related unpleasant symptoms to be prepared if that would decrease your anxiety. 3 watch a lot of videos of people going through pregnancy, dealing with bad symptoms in a healthy way, it may give you a new perspective on things. Also if you watch videos of people that wanted kids really badly then finally got pregnant and now dealing with the challenges of pregnancy, that may give you insight as to how people reconciliate the struggle with the love for children. 4 if that doesn't help that much, leaning into those feelings of dread, as well as understanding where they stem from and allowing them their space may relieve you from them to allow other good feelings to co exist or slightly dominate over the bad ones. Learning about people's experiences of this or reading books about the subject may help. All in all though, it is a very peculiar thing how women do this. They go through discomfort and extreme pain in pregnancy and labor and postpartum, yet still love their children and are fierce to protect them. How to reconcilate the two is really a much bigger philosophical question, and it might be a little innate in women to do so, or may need some work to develop that ability. Believe in yourself, believe that your body is literally made to do this so there's no right or wrong way to go about it, your instinct will know what to do. Trust in that, trust in God if you're religious to ease for you even the hardest of challenges if you ask him, practice some mindfullness, work in general on your mental health and you may find things fall into place all on their own because you addressed the heart of the matter. As for the husband, well the more your partner is understanding and there for you, the less you'll find it in yourself to resent him as it turns out😂. Make him involved in things, someone that loves you may even wish they could take that burden off of you, which I find really helps to bare it. Communicate to him your needs, try to put things into perspective and see where he contributes to the relationship. Prioritize your choice in partner before your pregnant, make sure to chose someone who will meet your needs, and give you the appreciation you deserve, as well as working on redirecting yourself away from the resentment (but it's ok if you slip up sometimes!). Embrace that you can do something he could never, and although there are hardships in it, the connection a mother has with her child is also unlike any other. Feel empowered in this, because it is in fact a super power to be able to go through all this. When it comes to spirituality, I find muslims have so many things about pregnancy and labor, and hold women so highly, emphasizing the importance of their role, how hard it is to do all this, and really elevates them, and appreciates them on a whole other level, I'd definetly recommend looking into this if you're interested, the importance of mothers in islam. I wish you luck on your journey, hope this helps!

@@aidasaneh8869 thank you too so much! You put it really well and I’ll take up the recommendations for sure! God bless!

I have also had both and it still varies so much. I had 2 peaceful epidural births. But 1 epidural birth I felt so anxious the entire time. It turned out to be my most traumatic birth. Of my 3 naturals: 1 was so fast it was a little traumatic and crazy, 1 was fast but not crazy and overall a wonderful, empowering experience. But the absolute best was my slower natural birth. I didn’t know about hypnobirthjng at the time, but I had discovered some of those techniques through other avenues and was able to totally go into a zone during the labor that gave me such calm and focus. That birth was so incredibly beautiful and peaceful and so gratifying to know I could do that. There is definitely something to be said for the confidence a mostly natural birth can give to a woman.

It definitely works! 😊

Thats likely true, but all births have the possibility of being traumatic, and all births have the possibility of being positive. Its kinda just a matter of which odds are on their side. These stories may not work for you, but they could help someone else! Everything in the entire universe is unique, even the ground underneath your feet, take it as you will. Have a nice day.

I would be your exception..I had no chioce but to have an unmedicated birth because they could not get a vein..at the time standard in military hospitals mandatory IV..they tried 34 times with no luck..protocol was demand to lift a vein in the foot..They decided I was so traumitzed and bruised up to forgo unless I needed intervention..I was so scared of the needles after that many attempts..so was determined to do it unmedicated and did using my own trance type going inward..I needed vacuum assist at the end because baby was stressed..and did it unmedicated..It was beautiful, and I enjoyed my birth experience..The last 2 hrs of laboring was done all alone with no staff on the floor at all in a darkened cubicle just 1 ft longer and 2 ft wider than the bed/ with only a curtain in a hall way style birthing room, with all the other births lined up going down the room, only curtains seperating us..5 woman during the time I was there..basically zero privacy but a curtain and I was not allowed to move in any postion..military at the time was flat on the back on the bed, not allowed to get up, walk around, shift positions..NOTHING..I think it would have been so much better had I been allowed to move around..The pluses .the staff knew my baby was concieved in grape by an evil soon to be ex, so they called in staff and suprised me with an all female only team for my birth experience..which they said they had never done before..It was the only time In my pregnancy I felt that I had community and woman surrounding me that cared...although abandoning me in laboring for two hours and having my mom have to hunt the hospital for two hours to get staff when I started to feel the start of transitioning was A bit cliff hangerish, almost felt I should panic but did not..vaccum was needed for baby stress..born with cord wrapped around neck twice and body once..almost did not have enough cord to birth her..not the best day of my entire life..but despite the challenges and no meds It was wonderful..and despite the emotional pain and trauma of the circumstances it was the first time in the journey I felt like I was in control, not my circumstance or my victimhood

@@kimberlycherrine-bell5371 why weren't you allowed to move at all? Was this a military prison hospital?

It likely releases oxytocin and endorphins and also stimulated many of the nerves in a way that is not associated with pain. I would think that it would also provide an orgasm, and orgasms are known for helping with pain and inducing labor. The body and mind are quite interesting and are truly a work of art. Have a nice day.

maybe because you're commenting.. or it's a sign

No way 😅 it's a beautiful day.
