Tapping For Birth Worries & Fears | Get Rid Of Your Birth Worries In Just 5 Minutes | This Works!
Welcome to this 5 minute fear reduction video!
Tap with me to feel less worried and fearful and more confident for your birth.
It's okay to sometimes feel a bit nervous about giving birth - we're only human! Having a baby is a life-changing experience, so some nerves and excitement will be very normal.
However, if your worries and fears are starting to take over or leaving you feeling miserable then just follow this video as many times as you need to. We also have an introduction to using Tapping in birth and how it works that you can find here: ua-cam.com/video/OrWcfnzKBUk/v-deo.htmlsi=DTSexBeWSO4mg8cG
It might feel a little odd at first saying how you are feeling out loud. It also seems odd to say all of the bad things about birth that you are worrying about as we live in a world that only wants to phrase things in the positive. But give it a go and see how you feel 💗

      @BetterBirthStories Місяць тому

      😄 I know! It's a bit odd that one isn't it? However, it is a hypnotic technique that can be used in two ways. Firstly it can make the unconscious mind just a little bit more aware of what is being said.. as it is a little odd counting down from 1 to 10. Secondly it can be used when working with clients directly as it allows the therapist to then extend to 20 or 30 or 40 if need be - clearly counting down from 10 to 1 can leave you a little stuck if your client isn't particularly relaxed!

    Whats your thouvht on eating dates to ripen the cervix?

    • @BetterBirthStories
      @BetterBirthStories Місяць тому

      Hi there, this is a study done in 2011 by O Al-Kuran et al which wanted to look at 'The effect of late pregnancy consumption of date fruit on labour and delivery'. Those in the study ate 6 date fruits per day for 4 weeks prior to going into labour. This study only included 114 women. Although the results were good as with most research, part of the conclusion suggested the need for a randomised control trial. A systematic review and meta-analysis in 2020 of 8 further studies also showed that date fruit consumption can significantly reduce the active phase of labor. They also found and also it can significantly improve the bishop score. There is no denying that dates are filled with vitamins and minerals and are also contain a high level of dietary fibre which is super useful toward the end of pregnancy when constipation can become an issue. There is no evidence to suggest that eating dates will bring on or kick start labour but there is potential evidence that that eating dates can help with the softening of the cervix or cervical ripening for labour. So, I guess to round up, each of the studies has been a bit too small to be definitive. If you like eating dates though (& you can add them to smoothies) then why not go for it? Melanie x

    I went to the PAU at my local hospital for reduced fetal movement twice within 3 weeks. The second time I was 37w3, all tests came back fine, scan showed everything was perfect and baby was 3/5 engaged but the dr came to me and told me I needed an induction and it was being booked at 39w. He then left the room without discussing anything with me, asking if I wanted it, or telling me why he said I needed it.. I then saw my midwife at 38w3 who said there is no medical need for me to be induced and she tried to cancel it for me and was told she couldn’t and that I still have to go to hospital when called for the induction to then tell them I don’t want to be induced. I wasn’t given any information on anything, just a date and a leaflet about how it would happen but nothing about the pain or how long it may take. Needless to say I’m waiting for labour to start on its own unless there is a medical need for the safety of me or my baby

      @BetterBirthStories 8 місяців тому

      Oooh I should probably do a more in-depth video about that at some point. Basically, your pelvis has the ability to move and expand during birth. The back of your pelvis as your spine runs down to your tailbone called the rhombus of michaelis can be seen bulging back, again making space for your baby. When we lie on our backs to birth this clever, moving structure becomes fixed and this reduces the cavity space available for your baby to move through by between 20-30%. Also, when we are upright to birth we use the weight of our baby and gravity to move through labour. However, if you do need to access an epidural the simple fix is to lie on your left side and use a peanut ball to keep the pelvis open (although no gravity sadly). Does that help? The kids keep asking me things while I type! 😆 Melanie x

      I wonder if that is a positioning issue? Hard to tell from us chatting here but labour can be very stop and start if a baby is not in an optimal position for birth. Have you explored Spinning Babies? Or maybe seen a womens’ health physio? I’ll be popping out a video on this on Monday and then again the following week.

    Why so many mothers wanting to have their babies in hospital? I can't understand it. Me and my two siblings were born at home. My two grandmothers birthed 12 children between them, all born at home with no fatalities. All healthy children. Infant mortality is on the rise I think because of hospital births. Doctors like to schedule births rather than let them arrive naturally. I regret not having my babies at home. Hospital was a terrible experience.

      Hi Melanie! I’m so glad the algorithm suggested this video to me! I love your affirmation statements and your soothing voice! I’m new to your channel and look forward to more affirmation meditation videos on how to fall asleep faster , stay asleep, how to feel relax and stay healthy during pregnancy. I’m TTC at the moment.

    The fact that this is my decision is what’s making it hard. Read all the evidence but at the end of the day I don’t have a crystal ball and I’m so afraid of making the wrong choice 😢

      I now have enough ‘watch hours’ to take control of the advertising. No horrible mid-roll ads in my meditations. Yay! 😊

    Ladies it’s not the channel’s fault there are annoying ads. She has no control over that. If you want no ads you have to pay UA-cam for that, or pay the creator for the recording.

    • @BetterBirthStories

      Thank you. I am so close to the right amount of watch hours to take over the advertising from YT and the minute I can those mid recording ads are gone! X

    Literally helped me so much. I was a VBAC candidate dilated only to a 5, 8 hours later. I was panicking and this calmed me down and helped me naturally deliver my baby two hours later. Even with the ads it was relaxing and honestly it was easy to find and free when I needed something easy and fast. Thanks for posting.
