Can I mention that with the last videos before this one I achieved giving birth naturally without epidural to my baby girl!💖 thank you so much! At 39 W and 1 Day on April 7th at 2pm my water broke, pain began in the hospital at 5-6pm and at 9:45pm-ish she was born.
The reason why it didn’t take less was because she was a bit turned and they had to fix her position with the peanut ball. But thankfully she arrived safely, I felt like I was gonna die but I am very thankful and honored to have came across your videos and knowledge! BREATHING helped me the most thanks for those videos and definitely the mindset videos helped too, it’s definitely a mindset game and the urge to really want to go natural!🤍🥰 everybody was proud of me, even me!! I’m a first time mommy!🥰🤍
Yessssss the breath!! I just had my 3rd baby, all babies out of hospital and unmedicated BUT this one I was so much more calm and in control, it helped so much with my mindset of getting through it instead of fighting it and tensing up. Incredible! Congratulations!! 🎉❤
I did this and my water broke the next morning! 9 hours apart from this. Thank you!
GIRL. I did this and my water broke that night at 40+0 (my “due date”). I was not expecting that at all. I also used my birth ball to get everything to start picking up. Baby boy was born so beautifully and healthy, by far the most amazing birth experience I had yet (baby #3, all out of hospital births and unmedicated), by using your breathing mindfulness advice. ⭐️ 10/10 ⭐️
How long u did this?
@@noor109 I honestly just did it for like 15 minutes maybe? Right before bed? My water broke maybe 6 hours later! I think it really helped baby to get in a good position!
Mine broke while I was on the ball doing this lol. My last birth, 3 days before due date. This time I am 3 days away and nothing yet!!
love it thank you Bridget! Watching your videos from Ireland and preparing to meet my no 2 in 2 weeks also!
Thanks so much! I just got my exercise ball yesterday and was hoping you would have a video!
Love your videos! And your sweater looks sooooo comfortable
Great timing! Just got a ball and wasn’t sure what to do with it. Thanks!
I’m 38 weeks and 6days today! Have been laboring since yesterday morning and my contractions have been unbelievably manageable. With my first born I remember just being stressed out and scared and did not know about good breathing techniques. Your videos came at the right time! Thank you, cant wait to see if ill be able to go unmedicated 😮💨🤩🙌🏼
Any update??? I’m 39 weeks and 2 days today. ❤️
@@BJARRGH12 congratulations! Yes i had baby on may 6th! Made it 21 hours to 8cm then i was recommended an epidural. My blood pressure was dangerously low and babys heart was slowing down. So scary but all is well! Breathing techniques helped me go farther than i thought i could😭
@@BJARRGH12 how did it go? I’m 32 weeks and scared!
@@blink_5019 it was AMAZING! FTM here. Baby came on her estimated due date. Had her at home in the tub with only 5 hours of labor total. I used the birth ball for prep from 36 weeks on, but didn’t even use it in labor because it all happened so fast.
Look up some hypnobirthing tracks. Your atmosphere and mindset are EVERYTHING! People were kidding when they said it was more of a mind game than anything else. I was so scared, but I surrounded myself with positive birth stories, home birth videos and has a support system.
@@BJARRGH12 FTM here currently 38 weeks. Have a meditation and breathing sound track that I’m hoping will do the trick. Thankful for your experience. All these posts encourage me that I’ll be able to do it too very soon.
Thank you for this video. I made all exercises and helped me to relax and get rid of some tension in pelvic area.
This video is awesome, thank you!
I brought a birth ball today, before I even noticed that you uploaded this video! Perfect timing! ♥️
I just want to thank you for your amazing channel that helped me have a natural, positive, physiological birth. Everyone mumma to be needs to subscribe. ❤
I’m 37 wks and 3 days with my second, and I love doing figure 8s! I’m glad you posted this though because I had not been focusing on tucking my tailbone (but I was just wondering about that last week). Now I know what to do going forward! I’ve been doing your class and it’s awesome - you are the best!
I am 30 weeks today, and this really helps my hip pain!
I am 7 months postpartum. I missed watching your videos 🧡
I'm 35 weeks pregnant with baby number 3. Everything about the birth ball is my favorite. Used it a ton with my second pregnancy and have been loving it even more with this one.
When should I start using the birth ball like which week?
Starts at 4:12
Thanks so much 😍
I am 36 weeks 3 days. Will be induced in a week. This felt great but could not do one on my knees due to swelling and extra fluid on my joints. But instead I sat down legs spread wide and lean on the ball with my arms chest on the ball. Ahh it felt so amazing!!! on my lower back and thighs!! I will do it again before bed. Great video ❤
I’m due with my 2nd in 2 weeks and I’ve been using the birth ball this time around! Perfect timing ❤️❤️❤️
same here!
Due in two weeks with mu first and starting these exercises today 🤍🤍
Hi! Thank you for your videos!
Could you please let me know when you should start doing this exercises? 3 months before the birth day?
I am 39 wks + 2 days and willing to try anything 😅 I hope this helps!
Thanks so much for sharing this
Uuuh I hate squats 🤣 I have such bad mobility in that position. Great video! Thank you 🙂
Thank you so much! I’m 35w 4d and cannot get comfortable at all other than when sitting on my ball. I’ll definitely give these movements a try 😊
Saaame 😩😩😩 I’m almost 37 weeks and I wish I could just sleep on my ball
I am also 35w and 4d. Begin to feel uncomfortable last night. A little period like pain. I like to drape over the ball and bouncing. Trying a VBAC soon.
NEED to try these today!
I'm a week overdue, and I have been having start and stop action going on for two weeks now! They are talking of an induction, and I want an all natural homebirth! This is my 4th baby, and they have always been on time/2 days late MAX!
Have you tried the “midwife’s brew”? I tried it last time with baby 4 and it worked like a charm. (And didn’t cause me any nausea or diarrhea!) The recipe I used had castor oil, almond butter, apricot nectar and champagne… sounds crazy but my midwife swears by it and it really did put me in labor in three hours. Drank at 9 pm, woke up in active labor at midnight.
Bridget! Are you gone from Instagram?! 🥺 Totally respect it if so!! But know your content was amazing and will be missed💗
Can you do these exercises during second trimester?
I love watching your videos. I am expecting my 1st in July. Watching your videos has helped me not to be as nervous( still nervous though). I have been watching your videos for a few months, and all the information is great.
I'm expecting my first in July too! Hope that you'll have a smooth delivery 💕 Love from Singapore :)
@@LILYnumber1 I Hope your delivery goes smooth as well!
I too will be joining you both in July. Love and all the best with your deliveries. From Nairobi, Kenya
@@sylkinyua Congrats to you as well! Hope we all have a smooth delivery!
Another July first baby 👶 ❤️🙏
Best luck ladies - from Australia 🇦🇺
I’ve got 2 months and a few weeks yet and feeling so impatient for July!
Me too il be 30 weeks in two days🙃m tired
July baby in here too!
When would you recommend starting these exercises in our pregnancy? Is 25 weeks too early?
I’m 36 weeks today and feeling the stretch!!! I could not do that deep squat at all but that’s okay :)
Is her instagram down? I can’t find it😫
Question Bridget
Hey!!! Help please. Im 40+6 with 2nd baby- baby is sunny side up. I'm aiming for all natural birth, no epidural like with my first. I'm nervous baby won't turn into right position and I'll be need to be induced /pitocin to help labor start. Also, scared that will cascade into more interventions like episiotomy, forceps etc. Advice??
Thank you Bridget… Im 39W and 5D today and Ive been watching all your videos. I really needed this, all my friends are having their babies before me when their due dates are after me. Really getting me down- baby is head ready position my cervix just wont open and is barely softened :(
Sending you love for a flexible pelvis and cervix as well as healthy labor🤍🫂🤍
Visualize the softening. Speak out loud what you want to have happen. The more you speak it, the more it will encourage your body to begin the process. You’ve got this!
I was in your exact position with my first (seal shut). I did these yoga ball movements for 4 days straight after work and was in labor by day 5. Fully dialated and baby was out in no time. Send you lots of peace of mind, trust in your body and visualize a flower opening it's blossoms.
Thanks to all you beautiful lovelys. Due date is tomorrow. 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Update loves, still no baby. Had an appointment where the doctor stripped my cervix membrane for a 2nd time. I was 2cm dilated and 60% effaced. No contractions at all :( but Im still doing all the tricks and tips!
Moms…. I’m a dad watching to help my wife….
Lol
That’s awesome!
I’m 37wks and 3 days tomorrow. I’ve been cramping so I asked Dr. To check me and I was 3cm dilated and 80% effaced since 36wk and 5 days and Dr. Could feel baby boys head. I’ve been walking/nesting like a mad woman. My next appointment is on Thursday and I am hoping they decide to just send me to labor & delivery. I am pretty sure I have been having contractions on and off since 36wks. I use my ball regularly because it relieves pain on my tailbone (fractured it during a snowboarding fall two years ago)
Hi mama how did it go?
What is your sweatshirt? Looks amazingly comfortable and cute.
Im 38 wks and getting induced tomorrow due to Preeclampsia. Trying to start the induction myself lol
so how many weeks? do you have to be to start using this ball.
is 34 weeks to late to start these... I have been so focused on baby and didn't even think about the care i would need.
At how many weeks should we start doing these?
How soon can I start doing these exercises?
Can I do this early in pregnancy?
❤️❤️
When can you start these?
I WANT ONE
Skip to 3:34-you’re welcome!
Hi. Can I do in in my second semester?
How soon can you start these exercises? Is 31 weeks too early?
I’m 20 weeks is it too early to start using a birth ball?
I love these moves on the ball! The problem I came across was the ball at the hospital was way too big and inflated too much, it was so uncomfortable.
This is good to know, thank you for pointing this out! I will have to figure out how to bring my ball with me to the hospital... I hope all is well with your birthing journey!
From what week can I do the exercises? Did I miss that?
Bridget!!! Do you have any advice on how to get baby out of your ribs? I swear he’s just chilling right up in there and it’s killing me. I’m 24 weeks.
I had the same problem with my baby when I was about 25-28 weeks. It was painful and what really seemed to help was lightly massaging the rib area where he was
My mom told me to push the baby down/ out them
Unfortunately, when you're that early, there's not a WHOLE LOT that can be done.
Try staying active and doing pregnancy safe activities to get baby lower.
Ultimately, baby won't really go down a lot until later in pregnancy.
I dont think that's your baby. Your uterus is still maybe an inch above your belly button at 24 weeks. That might be your organs being squeezed and your baby is kicking.
Im not an expert by any means, but I had a lot of pain in my upper abdomen, and my doctor told me that can only be general discomfort at that time(i was 26 weeks pregnant).
Hope you feel better soon!
For me what I did was inversions to get baby head down as his head was stuck in my ribs
How many times to do this? When to start?
When should we start this movement? Is it fine in 6 th months of pregnancy?
I am 28 weeks can I practice this already?
Are these safe to start at 32 weeks daily?
How do you make sure to keep your feet flat rarher than on your toes during the deep squat? Realized halfway through I was on my toes and struggled to keep them flat
Hi I was just wondering is that ok if a mom is 40 weeks pregnancy
So can a birth ball be used during the whole pregnancy?
What size of your birth ball in the video?
How long should we do each position at 32 weeks pregnant.
3:43 is the exercise starts !
Does it matter how far along I am in pregnancy or is it specifically for after certain weeks?
it's for anytime in pregnancy
It's advised that you aren't too far away from fullterm, so anytime after 34-36 weeks is fine.
Is this beneficial in the second trimester?
These moves work, practice them. That's all I'm going to say.
🌹
I don't know why my early labor stop
26 " or 30 "
Hi sweetheart. I’m 35 weeks and 3 days , is it too soon to start using the birth ball ? My due date is around May 25th im worried if I start using the ball now it will induce labor too soon ? I appreciate you so very much !!!
These will help prepare your body prepare and shouldn't "induce" unless your baby and body are already ready.
She does say in the last minute it's never too early!
Trying to do these poses but my belly is in the way
What size birth ball would you recommend?? I’m 5’3” if that matters lol
when i was looking for one to use (i got an exercise ball from walmart) the different sizes had recommended heights listed. I'm 5'4" and got a 65cm ball (smallest size). It works great!
When can you start doing these???
Was wondering the same, but at 37 weeks I think :)
I ordered one that said for height 5’7-6 feet and my hips are still lower or same height as my knees
Are you not on Instagram anymore?? I can’t find you 😭
What size ball should I get?
65 in
It depends on your height I believe... you want the ball to fit your body the way it does hers. So if you are very short you need a smaller ball. Taller, a bigger ball. Also look at weight limits on the ball. My sage femme said its good to not inflate the ball totally so it's slightly squishy. Mine is a 67 inch ball. I just missed the height cut off for the smaller ball. Also you can use a technically sports ball not specific pregnancy ball. Good luck
I was taking online classes from 9 - 5 so I was having to sit for long periods at a time. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxEhgucmXpcAGYh8fatGFEnOK2V97VIwhG After the first day in a regular table chair, I thought about an exercise ball and ordered one that night. It came the next day! My hips, legs, back and butt couldn't have been happier! I'm almost 5'11" and I ordered the largest size and it was perfect for me. I also have RLS (restless legs) and this helped so much.Pumping it up was a little challenging and definitely gives you a good arm workout, (I'm a 62 yo woman) but it's very doable. Getting the tape centered with the hole to inflate it and then getting the pin back in was also a little tricky. But I love my new "chair" and I love the torquiose color. Hopefully it will also get used for exercise. 😁
Is it safe to sit on the birth ball at 31 weeks? I work from home, and I get so uncomfortable in the chair...I like to bounce on the ball every so often instead of using the chair. But now I'm not sure if that's safe????
I wanna say that's safe? As long as its gentle
Does anyone feel to pee when on the ball?
Won’t it blast ?
Hi Bridget,
By any chance was your Instagram removed? I can no longer find you.?
41+3 here.... still waiting for SOMETHING to work... These positions at least help with comfort.
I'm 41+1 today, this wait is so hard! Hoping these will help!
41+ 3 also. Trying this today.
3:38
Can I address the elephant in the room and clarify? Isn’t a birth ball just an exercise ball?
a small google research says yes, they are basically the same
Yes
There are a few differences, but they're generally the same.
Yes and no. Exercise balls can be a lot smaller but depends which one you get
Yes lol
She talks to much half the video isn’t even exercising
Omg the amount of ads is soooooo annoying. Little to no guidance hpw must i remember every movement and do it myself.
Weird I watched it today and had zero ads the whole way
Write it down? 🤭
Too much talk bored
Get over yourself!
