    You might not remember me commenting on some of your videos but bc of you i pushed my baby out in 20 minutes w only a little tear on my cervix, NO OTHER TEAR!!!lmfao. Although i was induced and labored for 12 hours and did budge and take the epidural. I made sure when it was time i could still feel my vagina (so i wasn’t very drugged up and could feel my body still) but i made sure to push w my ankles out and knees in bc if you, even tho the nurses were trying to get me to open my knees! I screamed at the one nurse and said no i don’t want my knees open and scared her 🤣🤣🤣

    40 weeks and 3 days today, honestly praying labor does officially start. I’ve had contractions on and off every few days the past week that show signs of being early labor and then stopping.

    Thank you, i am almost sure I am in early labor with my second and this pregnancy is way different than the first. I have been having consistent period like pain since 12 am and have been every 10 mins since then. I am 39 weeks and 4 days so I am excited but tired and a little overwhelmed lol.

    Love your advice! Congratulations on baby #4!! When do you start walking and doing the yoga ball exercises to help get down deeper into the pelvis if we should be resting during early labor?

    Thank you for that fact I didn’t know about dehydration.. I’m only 24 weeks and had 2 Braxton hicks within 10 mins .. I do think it’s dehydration for me, also the day prelabor - 39w 5 d - I was speed walking lost inside of a big galleria and started feeling a lot of pressure in my pelvic area like the baby was just bearing all weight there and I had to walk holding my belly , then later that night I started having Braxtons back to back and I was like alright , Yeap here we go.

    I came across your videos when I was just over 30 weeks pregnant. I delivered unmedicated yesterday at 37 weeks (7.3 lbs 19.5 inches long) thanks to everything I learned from you. ❤ My body reached the point of ejection reflex in a hospital setting 🙌🏾. Baby literally flew out. I’m still in disbelief. It was intense but we made it through. I am now the 42 yo mother of three handsome and healthy sons (14-6-0) 💙 🩵 💙 Thanks for all you do and blessing to you on baby #4
