THANKS FOR WATCHING
Nipple stimulation works wonders, that's how I was able to induce my labour and was able to deliver my baby within 4 hours. The best advice I ever received
i learned so much from this video! thank you for sharing your wisdom cant wait to use these tips when the time comes!
I’m so glad I found this video and so thankful to hear about Christian Hypnobirthing
Thank you for the Christian hypnobirthing suggestion! I’m 20 weeks and just doing some research trying to mentally prepare for my first baby! 🙏🏽
A few other strategies I’ve heard are helpful that Nicole didn’t mention
1. Squeezing combs into your palms
2. Heating pads or rice buddy
3. Ice packs
4. Cool wash clothes
5. Counter pressure / acupressure
6. Kissing (similar to the nipple stimulation she mentioned)
7. Dancing (idk about this one personally but I’ve heard it recommended)
I’m so happy you put the disclaimer for your natural birth and your experience. It’s unfortunate that some cannot have a natural birth but you should absolutely share your experience
Thank you so much for sharing your birth story! I am 7 mos pregnant and this was so real and motivating. Everything you are saying aligned with what my doula taught us in our hypnobirthing class. Congrats on your beautiful baby girl ❤️
Super helpful! Thank you!
SO excited for this video !!! ❤️
I had an epidural and induction with my first son, and plan to go completely natural and unmedicaided! Watching your videos have helped me with my decision to go natural, A LOT!!
Thats amazing! So happy to hear I was helpful. You can do it mama you got this!
This is the kinda video I was looking for.
I’ve been waiting for this!!!
Hope you enjoy it!
Girl, I just found you this evening, at 32 weeks! I’m BINGING on your channel! Your videos are AMAZING in quality and content is 👌 so ENCOURAGING!!!
Aww thank you!! Welcome to the channel and congrats on your pregnancy!
So happy for you! And your new hair style is super cute on you!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much!!! Really helpful 👍
Thank you so much for this! It’s so awesome encouraging and informative. God bless momma.
Glad it was helpful!
I am 41 and 2 days today and am squatting during this whole video…so glad I’m choosing to have a doula with my second because I needed more support with my first home birth. These are all great tips Nicole and I will be applying them for round two!🙌🏻💪🏻
Love that you’re squatting while watching this haha! Hang in there mama I know the end is tiring but you totally got this! Praying for a healthy delivery 🧡
I watched your labor and delivery video loved it! Thank you for this video! Due in February with my first child and mentally believe I’m prepared I’ve been walking since the beginning of December 3 times a weeks 30 mins with different inclines and now 5 days a week 30 mins also on my birthing ball daily.
Sounds like youre doing awesome preparing! Wishing you a healthy delivery mama! It's gonna be great no matter what
I love this! I’m planning on giving birth at a birthing center with a midwife, my first baby! I’m due in June and I’m so excited to do this naturally thank you for the extra tips!
Sounds great! I'm happy to help
This was SO helpful, filled so much info! Thank you. My first time around I definitely was not educated and I went in with the same mentality. I'll try to have a natural birth, if it's too much for ill just get an epidural. I ended up getting an epidural at 2 cm! Looking back I probably could've gone longer but I was afraid and I didn't have much support. But my next time around, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have a natrual birth and do my research, and inform my husband on all these amazing things! Our bodies are amazing!🙏🏻🙌🏻
Sounds so similar to my experience! Preparation in advance seriously makes all the difference, I'm sure you'll do great mama either way!
Thanks for sharing, i needed this ❤️❤️
So glad it helped you!!
I haven’t even watched yet but as an expecting first time mom, yes yes yes!! Can’t wait to upload my own testimony of a supernatural birth once I give birth to my little one - due June 2022! 🙏🏼 I’ve been loving sharing my pregnancy journey - thank you for inspiring me Nicole!
Thats amazing! Congrats on your baby! SO excited for you and LOOOVE hearing labor stories because you're right its a testimony and they are all so unique and different! Praying for a healthy safe delivery mama
How did it go? How is your baby? Did you end up going natural ?
Oh my goodness, I love your content! It’s so good. I grew up in a Chicago suburb and went to college in Chicago, so I feel like we could be pals, lol. Love you and your videos!
Thank you so much!! SO cool! Love hearing some viewers are familiar with Chicago
Hi! Loved your video. Thank you for sharing these tips! Was curious if you had a direct link to that Christian hypnobirthing audio. I'm looking for something just like that. Thank you 😊
I, too, wanted to have an unmedicated labor 2 years ago but I did no research whatsoever 😭 if I ever get pregnant again I’m definitely going to try & research everything! Thank you so much for this video!
Of course! I was definitely in that boat once before. God bless!
Loved this😊✨ Having a natural birth is something very special. I had 2 natural births and literally my biggest motivation was the fact that I was so afraid of the needle from the epidural, so I had no other choice than going natural Like so afraid. Even after my daughter was born I needed to get surgery (cause I was losing so much blood) and they wanted to give me an epidural but I said no, I want to go fully under cause I ain’t want a needle in my back😭 But I am happy I was able to have 2 natural births
I'm pregnant with my first baby and due in June! This video is so helpful and I'm excited to learn more about natural birth 🤩
Glad it was helpful! And Congrats mama!
Yay, congrats! I’m due in June with my 4th and plan on having my 4th unmedicated birth! 😁🙌🏻
Just had my first baby Dec 18 all natural & at home, using similar methods. I watched Bridget Taylor videos too, I was 9.75 cm when my midwife arrived!
WHOA! That’s incredible! Thanks for sharing and congrats on your newborn!
I'm 38 weeks and I’m ready for this baby to come out 😅. Thank you for sharing
You got this!
Your videos are so helpful! I’m having a baby boy in April and hoping to do it completely unmediated using hypnobirthing techniques I’m nervous but mostly excited! 💗
You can do it! LOOOVE the hypnobirthing method! Praying for a healthy safe delivery mama!
look into hypnobabies!! it’s different from hypnobirthing
Planning a free birth this summer so this was helpful!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this video!! Just in time, I’m due Feb. with baby #2 and hoping for an unmediated labor this time 😊 I would love to see a video on your and your little ones adjustment to 2 kids.
That's awesome, congrats! Praying it all goes smoothly! I'll be talking about that in a video very soon actually!
@@Nicolelelagreen thank you so much! ❤️
@@Nicolelelagreen I just wanted to come back and say that I did it!!! 100% unmedicated birth he came in 6 hours, 7 minutes of pushing vs. 18 hours labor, 4.5 hours pushing with my daughter. Thank you for all the tips breathing and counter pressure were where it was at for sure!
Nipple stimulation made a difference in my labor too.
I got a doula and it was the best thing ever! I was in labor for 22 hours and my husband was able to take breaks but I was never left alone
I love that! Def a good relief for partners! Poor Richie haha
I'm 40 weeks 1 day pregnant with my first! Praying for a natural birth 🙏 Please pray baby boy comes on his own and I can cope naturally 🤍
Amen! Praying for a healthy and safe delivery
What was the Christian Hypnobirthing app you used?
I planned on having a natural birth with my first, but once they said I was 10 centimeters I got so scared and asked for the epidural even though they told me I was doing so well. I'm pregnant with my 2nd now. I'm almost 31 weeks. I know I can make it through the pain of the contractions since I did with my first, but the thought of pushing and possibly tearing scares me so much. How bad was that phase?
37 weeks can’t wait for baby to be here I’m so ready 🥺 this is my 2nd child ✨
Congrats! Wishing you a healthy delivery!
Thank you , god bless you and your beautiful family ❣️🙏
Even this title is so weird to see cause it’s the absolute NORM where I’m from to have unmedicated ‘natural’ births in a hospital. I birthed my first two sons back in New Zealand where I was born and raised with a midwife in a hospital (no one else in the room). It’s very unusual not to have a natural birth there then moving to the states I ended up having a home birth because I absolutely knew what I was doing but got so much smack for it! It was incredible and I’m excited to do it again for my 4th baby but the hospital/doctor culture here is so upsetting because for a huge amount of mothers a lot of the interventions are very unnecessary. The Business of Being Born is an eye opening documentary to watch about the American Maternity system.
Hmm so interesting how some countries handle this so differently than others! Awesome to hear you are standing up for what you desire for your own labor mama, wishing you a healthy delivery!
@@Nicolelelagreen much like the book you suggested, that doco explains a lot how America got to where it is compared to the rest of the world. Your video did encourage me to get moving though! Haha thanks!
Starting to get the nerves.. 3,5 weeks to go..👶
I’ve watched this before but I’m back again because I’m terrified my epidural won’t work for the next baby🤣 Just realized I’m horrified of labor and I have 25ish weeks to turn that thought around. The only reason I’m terrified is because a paper cut hurt worse than my last labor and birth. It went that well. I’ve never heard of that lol so I’m expecting the worse this time.
You’re beast Nicole!!!!!
HAHA thanks!
Currently 21 weeks pregnant with my first. I'm hoping to have an unassisted birth.
I actually preferred the shower over the tub because I was able to move more
Makes sense for sure, maybe I wouldn't like the tub as much as I think... who knows. I'd have to get pregnant again to find out LOL
How was giving birth on your hands and knees?
I’m 36 weeks Monday and exploring the different options
It felt right, natural, and hurt less than other positions! I pushed like that for a while but then ended up actually turning on my side to finish the pushing btw
I swear by red raspberry leaf tea!!
Hola amigas suspensión si ♥️
OMG love the intro lol if you're triggered this might not be for you. I'm so tired of people getting so offended of everythingggg.
Do you feel like a natural unmedicated birth is possible with a doctor at the hospital? I’m 31 weeks and medically cannot get an epidural. I wish I would have went with a midwife. I feel like the nurses won’t know these techniques and I’ll be in too much pain to remember these things to help me in the moment
I think if you communicate well with the doctor that you can’t have an epidural and what your plan is then it’s surly possible and many have done it! Is it too late to switch practices? Or get a doula? I know you’re pretty far along but perhaps that’s an option. Again if not, I believe you can make a way mama 🧡 praying for a healthy delivery!
I would just communicate it clearly to you doctor and especially nurses (your nurses will be with you most of the time)!
Of course it is. Lots of women give birth at hospitals without any meds.
May i ask you, if you had your Babies Heart rate monitored? I also want to choose my birth position freely, but its my first Child and i also want him to be safe. Greetings from Germany ❣️ Love your Videos
I know many women who had babies without any meds at the hospital. Doesn't seem
unusual to me..
Perhaps it depends what area you're in, I'm sure every hospital it different, but that's great!
It's the norm where I live as well 😅
Poti vorbi si Romana ,te rog??
😅
I can’t believe we need so many disclaimers in this snowflake culture. The word natural can be interpreted in so many different ways, stop being a freakin crybaby about it.
Take your gross energy somewhere else.
I think the issue with the title is not the "unmedicated" part but rather the word "natural". All births are "natural" births whether they're vaginal or c-section. I understand the definition aligns with your experience but it doesn't necessarily make it any less alienating or disheartening to those who ended up having a birthing story that wasn't vaginal. To them, I'm sure their experience was very "natural". They delivered their baby in the safest way possible, given their individual circumstances. I'm sure that wasn't your intention and my goal in leaving this comment isn't to shame your word choice. I am just hoping to shed some light on a very sensitive subject that some of your subscribers probably resonate with. Congratulations on your positive birth story and all the best wishes for 2022.
Hey Amber, I completely understand your point and see how that can feel alienating to some. At the same time, definitions are definitions, and they help us communicate specific meanings. This is the term used within the medical industry, and most people…and I can’t change that. When I create a title, I use key search terms that would lead people to the correct video they are searching for. So it just wouldn’t make sense for me to try to use another term, which honestly, I wouldn’t even know what other term to use. Hopefully you can see my dilemma here. That’s why I make it clear in the first minute of my video that I don’t want to shame anyone who didn’t have a “natural” birth. I had a medicated labor for my first born son so of course I have no judgement in this area! All I can do right now is offer that disclaimer until another word is created to describe this experience. I appreciate your comment and I know your heart is in the right place, so thank you 🙏🏼
hi amber, all births aren’t natural. if you use medication of any kind, that leads to a birth that’s no longer natural. it’s not vaginal versus c-section. medication is simply not natural
@@Nicolelelagreen I appreciate your response and again, I do not think your intentions are to alienate anyone. I understand your point being made about the medical definition used. To answer your question, your title could have read "How I had an unmedicated vaginal birth..." and I am sure it would have eliminated perhaps any backlash you stated you received in the first minute of your video. Best wishes for your continued success.
@@amberfriedlander2811 that’s actually a good option for a title as well, but I decided to go with a more popular term because that’s what I think makes the most sense and aligns the most with my video topic. Again, I appreciate your thoughts on this and the respectful way you shared them. God bless!
Hey amber, I see your point but a c section by definition is not natural, It’s a c section birth, which there is nothing wrong with that! If someone feels alienated by a neutral definition it really isn’t up to us to change definitions and what they mean…Just because you didn’t give birth naturally doesn’t mean it wasn’t any less of a birth!
