César 🧔🏻

This helped alot. Is your course still free? Link did not work :)

Hypnobirthing With Anja so great!! Thanks so much for the sweet words 🥰🥰

Mindfully Modern thank you so much! I am so glad!! Thanks for watching.

How did it go

Trust your mother! People are exaggerating and they tend to generalize their experience for everyone

I had a baby last June and I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant and I can confirm that’s exactly correct and what it felt like for me

Your cousin is right

That's actually really really helpful. I have DEBILITATING cramps so when I heard it'll be like menstrual cramps it made me feel better since I know I've felt that type of pain before. I'm the same when it comes to pain I always panic beforehand but afterwards I'm like "oh..." It's the fear of the unknown I think. 😂 I've heard women say it's the worst pain ever and I've also heard women say it isn't that bad so I guess I'll find out in October! I pride myself on my pain tolerance though and being able to zone in when it comes to intense pain so I'm hoping I can do that during labor.

@@user-tn2pz7ze2o so how was it ☺️

Can you tell me what braxton hicks contractions feel like please

No worries mama, your body was made to do this. So glad you are enjoying my videos!! 💗☺️

Good luck

I really like your name! Very unique and pretty 😊

Dilated 3 1/2 n they sent u home?? That's crazy...4 is active..

@@candivarney1853 yeah but my water broke the next morning so i went back

Thanks so much. Glad it helped you. If you are planning a natural birth make sure you are educated and supported on natural birth. You can do it with the right preparation!! Hopeful that Coronavirus is beginning to get a little more under control before you are due! Congrats 💗

You're welcome, babe

Thank God!

That's so great to hear. Remember due dates are just estimates and your body knows the best time to go into labor. CONGRATS

Same here! I was induced the first time so I didn’t really get to feel the water break or real contractions. Due any day with #2

You got this! You were built to birth and our mind is SO powerful. Congrats mama!

Curiosity killed the cat honestly. The more I’ve seen about birth the more I want to have my uterus removed

It’s good to do research

SAME

Suuuureee......,..🤭

It starts of as menstrual cramps

Howd u go

How was it

All the best mama!

Hope things went well

Same, or make it hard to walk and have me crawling on the floor

same. I have never had labor but I had an early miscarriage and it did feel like a BAD period (including thowing up, crying, etc) - back pain, leg pain, ect. And it came in like waves would come and go quickly. But after the miscarriage they looked and said I was just 2.5 CM open lol what will 10 cm feel like.

@@keshiamcentire9843 I had an ectopic, which, when treated, acts like a miscarriage, and it was horrible, but not nearly as bad as the actual ectopic pain. I think it was worse because instead of being motivated and accepting the pain, I was losing my baby so the pain was harder to handle. I honestly think labor will be easier.

Period cramps are nothing compared to labor pains. Its serious business. Death is even better

My mom told me initially in labor she thought oh this is just like period cramps, will be fine. Then she said she quickly learned it was wayyyy worse

Totally understandable!! No reason to fear, keep educating yourself and get a really amazing support team for your birth. You were made to birth your baby! I have a free and paid labor and delivery class to if that would help you. Education and support are the best ways to prepare 💗

It's nothing to be afraid of at all... Seriously, women do this multiple times. I still want more babies lol. It's just a lot of hard, tiring work more than pain.. I just had my first baby 2 months ago. Yes it will become extremely painful, but you can always get an epidural when it gets too unbearable... The pain builds up, it doesn't just hit you like a brick wall like the movies show.. each contraction will get worse and worse so with each one you can ask yourself can I keep going without an epidural... it starts off feeling just like period cramps, but it gets stronger with each contraction.. i downloaded this contraction counter app and it told me to go to the hospital because I was in active labor... when I was in active labor, it hurt but not bad enough because my husband forgot his wallet at the house and I told him it's ok go get it lol so we turned the car around. By the time we got to the hospital 15 minutes later I was like "okay ughhhhhh it's stronger, please hurry and get the wheelchair", cuz you can't walk normally when a contraction comes... I still didn't feel the real bad ones until i was actually finally in the delivery room at about 4-5 centimeters, which is when you can get the epidural.... So I really only had to deal with the really bad ones for like 15 or 20 minutes... It hurt so bad I grabbed my husband AND the nurse and she was like that's alright hold my shoulders lol. I'm gonna tell you the truth how I feel, the contractions hurt so bad I couldn't think. I was grabbing everything. I grabbed the nurse, the bed rail, my husband, I was all over the place. But here's the crazy thing, even with all this pain, it still wasn't worse than being stabbed a million times or being hit with a hammer over and over like some people say because it's nothing that feels wrong or crazy. It sounds weird, but contractions feel normal and natural like it's suppose to happen. It feels as natural as period cramps. It's nothing you're not familiar with. It's just really, really strong. During my labor I was thinking to myself ok I could do this again as long as I get an epidural again lol... I don't think I'm gonna do it naturally, but I'm sure I could if I really decided to and put my mind to it. My labor was going so fast, but my epidural seemed to have slowed things down because my contractions slowed down. But the epidural took ALL the pain away, I was laughing and having conversations with my husband. Even during pushing, whenever the nurse told me to wait before pushing again, me and my husband would talk. So it's really not that bad. It's only bad if you have a complication and things aren't going smoothly like if they tell you you'll need a c section or something, but even then I've seen my sisters be on cloud 9 even with a C-section cuz they had the epidural and didn't feel a thing. Any woman who tells you it's automatically a terrible nightmare is just lying and trying to look tough as some type of womanhood right of passage crap.. childbirth and contractions feel normal.. it doesn't feel like it's going to kill you or anything.

@@thehaleybarry how can I join the class

@@nancysamson3185 letsmama.teachable.com/p/lets-get-ready-to-birth

How did it go?

Samantha Austin so glad it was so helpful!! Yes I am still planning on doing a pushing video but not sure if I’ll get it done before you have your baby. Simply put, your going to crunch at the top of your belly and use your upper abs to crunch baby down and out. Rather than pushing “low” like a bowel movement. Then you’ll really engage all of your abdominal muscles. You got this mama 🙏💪

Haley - Lets Mama Thank you! Just signed up for your free videos too ☺️

lomo tomo yes! Beautiful baby girl. Thank you 💗💗

😒😩

No she is not

Lmao

Lol

😂😂this guyy

good luck and congratulations!

I’m due January 22nd 😳

Good luck mama

I’m due January 25th

@@characterasmrgirl5430 same!! Did you have your baby already?

😣

@@kesia_shani sorry

Pretty normal to not be dilated that early before your due date since you aren't even considered "late" until 42 weeks. A lot of time (not always) labor that starts and stops is due to baby not being in optimal birthing position. I would check out my video on my channel on using a birthing ball, as well as pregnancy stretches and then check out the website, Spinning Babies. They have 4 exercises called the fantastic four that are an amazing way to help baby get into optimal position. I also highly recommend seeing a Webster certified, prenatal chiropractor too! :) Hope that helps, congrats!!!

You won't do an epidural until active labor so the first stages of labor are self managed.

You were made to do it 🙏🏾 your super power is bringing kids in this world

@@bleulotus most empowering thing I've ever done x

You don't aways have to have a natural birth, unless it's really what you want, but you are designed for it, your body will change during pregnancy to make you more capable. I'm a rather fragile and small woman, but I'm 19 so I'm young and that may help? I'm 10 weeks pregnant and scared too but I just have to believe in myself, trust my body, it will likely be ok, and I'm sure you will too, it's ok to be scared, many are, but during pregnancy the body goes through great changes to help, and the pain will be over, in the end it is worth it for the child you will have

@@raykarpp You're so young. I'm 27. I don't plan to have natural lol just need the baby out...I hope you're right

@@Sona77. 27 is still decently young for being pregnant, and maybe if you're that worried, have a check up with the doctor to see how your body is for having a child. Pregnancy won't be the easiest, or birth that's completely normal, will have some struggle, but it will all be over and you will have a baby, I'm sure you will do great :)

You need to be atleast 4 cm dilated before an epidural is administered,

Check out the website spinning babies. Do the fantastic four exercises daily to help baby. I also have a pregnancy stretching and birthing ball routines on my channel that can help too!! You got this mama ☺️💗

I.m 37 weeks pregnant. A week ago my little guy was breeched. I did handstands with the help.of my husband. It worked! Hope that helps. Because I have been also worried about the virus.

Prepare, prepare, prepare. The more you know, the less nervous you will be. Trust your body, you were literally designed to give birth!! You got this mama 💪🙏☺️

How did it go?

Congratulations

@@kesia_shani now I’m 32 weeks and one day

Lol Yes!

That's scary because my contractions are so bad, they put me in tears, curled up in the fetal position with nausea and diarrhea. I can't function without pain relief.

@@hannah-kaylawes4182 well I imagine it would just be similar if your cramps are that bad. It probably can’t even get much worse than that

@@hannah-kaylawes4182 also, when you’re timing it you know when the pain is going to happen. With period cramps it hits you out of nowhere and hurts the WHOLE time. I would know because my cramps before the pill were so bad I would cry and walk in circles because laying down hurt lol

Omgosh that’s so scary

People say they’re like period cramps but I feel they are a sensation all on their own. It’s hard to describe bc it’s indescribable. As a mom of four I can say that my contractions have always been a painful burst or crescendo in your abdomen where your stomach tightens and you feel a deep pain which is why they say it’s like period cramps. It lasts about a minute then subsides. I truly believe our bodies can’t create a pain we can’t handle. It’s our own bodies. It’s just like a race if you prepare yourself well for it you won’t escape the pain but you’ll manage it better. If you hop off the couch and try to run a marathon it’s gonna hurt badly. You can prepare yourself by letting go of the fear of labor and really researching coping strategies, pain management during labor, types of birth options like hypno birthing water birth etc. we join ALL mammals on the planet in our ability to give birth- it’s not something animals really think about they just do it because they have to. I think when we shift from fear to focus it helps a lot and I can say even birthing twins vaginally that our bodies are made for this very purpose. So it doesn’t matter what the pain feels like, prepare for the race.! You can do this!

Yessss I’m dying to know too

That’s what I’m trying to find out too! WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE ? Lol

good luck on the delivery and congratulations on your baby!

Yay!!!!

So how was it? I'm 17 weeks now?

So I see that this was posted a month ago, how is life with a baby!!?

If you’ve had it yet idk

Laura Zacaula so sorry to hear this. Gestation is an average of 40 weeks long and is normally calculated based on your cycle which Varys woman to woman by two weeks on both sides of the 40 week mark. It’s normal for any woman to deliver between 38-42 weeks gestation without a rise in possible complications if pregnancy is being monitored. Dilation is also no sign of labor. Women have been at 7cm for weeks before labor began. True labor is contractions that are consistent and timely causing dilation and effacement. Remember you hired your doctor and you can absolutely refuse induction if you or the baby’s life aren’t in danger. I would not recommend induction (unless medically necessary) until at least 41w 6d. I hope that helps. You got this 💪🙏💗

@@thehaleybarry thank you so much for your advice. I don't feel as crazy. All vitals for not baby and I have been very good so I don't understand why they are putting so much pressure on me to induce other than it's more convenient for them to schedule. I'm doing as much as possible to get dilation going to please them but I don't want to deliver before he's ready.

Laura Zacaula absolutely! You can say you aren’t comfortable with induction unless medically necessary. And they should understand if they are a good OB. Induction is sadly overused. Congrats again! ☺️💗

@@thehaleybarry thank you.

So sorry mama. Bring your own robe, that’s the best thing you can do. Plus some fuzzy slippers. You can also ask your nurses for warm blankets!

Some hospital rooms have adjustable thermostats. Check with your hospital! Good luck ❤

IUD insertion pain is the worst thing I've ever felt😭 Glad I got mine removed! Never again 🤣

Rasheesa Valentine lol

I’m the Same age 😂 gotta start preparing for the pain

My husband knows this one lady that was out taking her morning walk and the baby literally fell out into her pants. She didn’t have any pain or anything.

@@brittanyh2606 wow!

How dangerous what is?

@@thehaleybarry my girlfriend has had a urinary infection. So I hope things go well if she wants to start a family. Pregnancy can be tough on that right?

@@peat381low8 UTIs shouldn’t be affecting her getting pregnant and they should be treated as well.
