Hey mama! If you're wondering about vaginal exams in labor or even in late pregnancy, this video is for you. There are a lot of unnecessary pressures being added to so many women who feel forced into cervical exams but don't actually want them. In this video, we will discuss the pros and cons of vaginal exams, effacement in labor, questions to ask your provider, the station of your baby, and other ways to know if you are dilating.

I’m about to give birth to my fourth and the more kids I have the less I allow them to check me. This time around I’m not taking any vag exams, it’s ridiculous that they make women push their babies out when they don’t feel that very recognizable UNCONTROLLABLE urge to push. You can’t miss it you can’t stop it when baby is coming baby is coming your body, without your help, literally pushes the baby out 😂 all mine came out in two-three pushes! Not bc I’m lucky but bc that’s just what happens when you allow your body to go through the natural process of labor (no drugs)

Amen amen amen. Say it louder for the people in the back. You learn so much more after the first kid but I wish I knew all I know now with my first. It would’ve saved me so much trauma. Congratulations on baby #4!!

My first birth experience was really really horrible with a very unfriendly and unprofessional nurse on duty, every virginal exam was even more painful than the contractions itself, I wish I had the knowledge that I could do with out it, thank you for this educative video!

I was in a car accident at 31 weeks ( currently 33 weeks) I was contracting terribly and was in the labor and delivery ward. Long story short I had two cervical exams over 24 hrs and it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be ! Reminds me of a Pap smear but bigger lol

Oh my gosh I’m so glad you and baby are safe! It definitely depends on the person so I’m glad they didn’t feel bad for you!

@@awerkingmama Yes indeed! There’s this speculum thing ( don’t know how to spell it) that they’ll use to check it also and it’s hurts sooooo bad! Thank you for your informative videos and kind words 💕

Hi! I was trying to a schedule a visit but I don’t know if you’re fully booked or something else. I am looking for the 2nd week of April or an afternoon time. I love your videos thanks a lot! I don’t have any social media so I guess reply to this comment maybe?

@awerkingmama 3 ай бұрын

I’d love for us to chat! My calendar will show the times I have available for the next two weeks. There should be some afternoon times available there. For April, you can look again next week and the availability should update!

I’m due in June and trying for VBAC in June. Does Laboring down guarantee the fetal ejection reflex will occur? Or laboring down just makes it easier to push baby out?
