Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl Ashley! I started your prenatal program at 27 weeks and I’m 14 days from my due date still feeling strong and ready for my first delivery thanks to your program! So excited to purchase the postpartum plan with your cookbook! Just wanted to say thank you so much for your content and spirit throughout my first pregnancy. God bless from a fellow Military Academy grad 😊
USMA! Awwe so wonderful to meet you on here Kennisa.
I’m 36 weeks with my second baby. I followed your pregnancy and postpartum plan last time and have been working through the pregnancy plan again this time starting from the beginning.
I am so thankful for all the videos and inspiration you have shared. Not only for fitness and wellness but how to be a Mom rooted in Gods word.
I’m excited to start the 12 week plan again in probably about 2 months!
I had great success last time and I hope to again this time.
Thank you again Ashley!
Thank you for sharing the part about God qualifying us. That made me tear up. I've been so nervous and have been feeling so unqualified about having this third baby, but you are so right. Thank you ❤️🥰
Congratulations on expecting your 3rd Steph. I am honored to have you here and so glad this resonated with you right when you needed it.
I had natural child birth and I thought my pelvis was gonna crack, but once baby was out I felt like a WARRIOR lol!
A warrior!! haha I absolutely understand this 100%. Good job Lisa.
Congratulations Ashley! How exciting:) The reason I went into start/stop labour with my 4th was the fact that I was exhausted - looks like you've had a very busy time as well before going into labour. May God bless you and your family!:)
Thank you for sharing your story!! I love how you gave all the glory to the Lord- He truly is the One Who gives strength during that most vulnerable time! I’ll definitely be coming back for some of your labor specific workouts - I’m due with our second in April! God bless you and your family!❤️
Sara this makes my heart so full to hear from you! YES! Congrats on expecting your #2 this spring in April.
Ooooh my goodness that video of you in labor brought me back to the last time I was in labor…those low groans, ooooooh that pain!! And I also gave birth on all 4s, on the bathroom floor in the hospital room, I’ve never screamed in my life like I did to get her out. My first baby I was scared to push so it took me four hours of pushing. The third time I realized I just had to get it done so I screamed her out and she came quickly. So glad Laurel came out healthy and strong, what a blessing. I bet your other three are over the moon excited! Enjoy your newborn cuddles 🥰
Third time watching this… Gosh I don’t know why but I love your labor story so much and it seems so real and packed full of wisdom for me! I’m almost 26 weeks and just hanging in here and trying to practice patience. Your workout plan helps so much and I’m feeling so much strength and openness in my hips.
Lovely video Ashley , i love hearing birth stories, well done it sounds very tough , but you did it! Enjoy your little bundle of joy and hope you and all your family are doing well , Luke sounds like a great support to you x
Thanks for the honesty in this video. It was so nice to hear from you. :) I can’t wait to see baby Laurel exercising with you. 😍 (I’m doing the 10 minute plan and currently admiring baby Ava all the time. ☺️)
Awesome girl! Congrats on your sweet baby girl! I just had my son on Sunday! Our labor stories are so similar.. I labored for over 24 hours, the whole on and off and I was so exhausted I cried to my husband saying I can't keep doing this, why isn't the baby here yet. Seriously when you were talking I just kept nodding my head like mee tooo! ♥️😘 Im off Instagram so I was so excited to see you post it on UA-cam! I'm getting your 12 week plan and I'm so excited about that and the cook book! Looks delicious!
Congrats!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful birth story.
I am always so encouraged watching your videos! First time mom due in March 2022 (and very nervous!!) but being a part of the Glow Body community has made me feel way better and empowered in Christ (our most important resource and guide through motherhood). Looking forward to trying your 12 week pregnancy plan so I can get back to my running routine!
YES. YES. YES!!! Excited for you being due in March : )
Ashley, congratulations!!! Such an amazing story💐🎁🎉🙏💞God bless you all!
I recently met a woman who never had her water break and she gave birth en caul! Which is so fascinating to me as a mama who had pprom with my first. It’s a sign you have a very strong sac! I’m 25 weeks pregnant now and I’m hoping I make it full term. Congratulations on your beautiful baby!
Thank you Ashley! This brought me to tears 🥺 we're expecting our first baby girl in about 10 weeks and I'm feeling very anxious and excited, and your message to lean into God is everything! He gives us strength to do his work, and for us that means bringing new life and raising them up to do good ❤🙏
Ashley, you are such an inspiration! Currently 25 weeks with a beautiful baby boy. Your prenatal program has been a staple for me. Thank you for your guidance during pregnancy, labor, and postnatal. You are such an inspiration ❤
Thanks for sharing your story! You are such a strong mama! I delivered my son 5 days before Laurel so it will be encouraging to be on the postpartum healing journey together with you!
Christy!!!! So amazing to hear from you and that you had your newborn son just 5 days before Laurel arrived. Grateful to have you in this glowbodypt community babe.
Tears listening to your story. I’m so emotional right now. I’m currently 8 weeks pregnant with baby number 5. (Possibly more, we find out next week) but yeah… birth is so beautiful. Pregnancy is beautiful. Raising your children is so beautiful and rewarding. Thank you for sharing your story. I haven’t yet made it without an epidural with any of my babies although Lord knows I’ve tried.
I LOVED hearing your birth story!!! It was so beautiful and inspiring!! 💕
thanks so much Paige for watching
I love love love this workout and your prenatal plan. This is my second time using it and I'm pregnant with baby #3 and I even got my bestie doing this plan with me! Thank you for treating mamas like the strong women we are. This is the best and most empowered I have felt while pregnant. You're amazing!!
Samantha to hear that your THIRD is on the way and this pregnancy is your healthiest and most empowered you've felt while pregnant is so inspiring for other women -- thank you for sharing this! Clearly your bestie respects you and you've inspired her. Way to go.
Congrats! I had my little guy 10/19. Recovery has been tough but I look forward to following your postpartum plan
awwe our babies are practically the same age!! Major congrats, I'm so happy for you.
Omg thank you so much for the cookbook and 12 week plan! Printing it out now!
Jade! I am so excited for you. Please keep me updated on how it goes for you. I would LOVE to show off more women of color so if you end up taking before/after pictures, get your story in my inbox when you're done. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to be your trainer, I'm here for you and I'm rooting for you.
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your story, I love hearing other women’s birth stories. My first and 4th labors were the hardest for me as well. My third daughter and 4th daughter are 8 years apart so my midwife just said , well I guess your body went totally back lol
It was so so tough but so grateful to have my girls. Thank you so much for all of your wisdom and for your workouts! I’m so grateful I found your content 💗
Oh wow! That's so interesting your 1st and 4th were your hardest, too. THANK YOU for sharing and I'm grateful to have you here Jade.
I just love this so so much! Congratulations on your new little one! I have been watching your prenatal workout videos through my entire 4th pregnancy. I’m currently 4 days past my due date and expecting little one number 4 any day and this was so encouraging! I especially love that you’re a Christian! I am really working on completely surrendering myself to the Will of God and His plan for my labor and birth. I love seeing others positive stories! Thank you for sharing. ❤️🙏🏻
Hey babe, it's Ash. I'm sure your 4th baby has arrived and hope you are snuggling your newborn right now! Just wanted to say congrats and glad to have you as a sister in Christ.
Congratulations on your sweet baby girl! 4 is a party and a blessing every single day!
Loved hearing your birth story and how you leaned on the Lord. And He came through! Praising God for your family of 6!!!
Love you!
Love this Ashley!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!
THANK YOU for being part of this glowbodypt community Esther!
Preach it sister!!! Love your birth story and how you depended on God! Christ is all-sufficient and gives us the strength we need! I couldn’t have done it without him either in my two births!
YES MA'AM. Thanks for being here Karissa
I’m so happy I found you!
Loved hearing your birth story with Laurel! 💕 Enjoy your time off with your sweet little one!
I’m currently going through your postpartum plan second time around after having my second lil’ guy almost three months ago! Currently on week four!
congrats on your still-2-month-old little one! Honored to have you here Sarah and it's awesome to hear you are heading into Phase 2 soon. : D
What a story! I love birth stories, and this was was lovely. Congratulations on pressing into the Lord and persevering! Laurel is beautiful 😍
Jennifer, thank you so very much. I'm honored to have you here!
Thanks so much for sharing. I’m having my first child in January and this helped so much!
I'm so glad! Major congrats on expecting your first baby this January.
Congratulations! Beautiful labor story. I laughed, because I also love the sparkling grape juice after delivery!
Thank you!! 😊 and YESSSS
Congratulations! She’s beautiful. This was such an encouraging video. I’m almost third trimester with my third baby- I wish I had found you sooner! I’ve been dreading labor, as my second labor was very challenging. Your comments about God calling the unequipped and then equipping them were exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you for sharing! 💗
congratulations on almost 3rd trimester with your 3rd baby! I'm so glad this was encouraging to you and hope you have my free prenatal program to use for the rest of your pregnancy, too! www.glowbodypt.com/prenatalworkouts
Thank you Ashley for sharing this!! I just delivered my 2nd baby via c-section this week even though we try really hard for a VBAC, so I felt defeated. Hearing your story, mindset and recovery is what I needed, thank you for sharing and giving me motivation to continue to do my best!
Jennifer congrats to you on your newborn baby being added to your family! ANY ONE OF US could end up with a c-section- you just never know and it's certainly not your fault having tried really hard for a VBAC and it just not working out the way you originally envisioned. Keep in mind your birth does not in any way define you, your character or your worth. I'm so happy for you, and honored to have you here as part of this glowbodypt community Jen.
Thank you for sharing your story and testimony! Best wishes to you in your time off with your beautiful baby! ❤️
Thank you so much! And, THANK YOU for being a longtime part of this glowbodypt community Sonya
Yay! Congratulations, what a beautiful story thank you for sharing. Enjoy spending time with your family !! The Lord heard you in that moment and gave you the courage and strength you needed.
Absolutely, yes! Thanks so much Gayle.
Thanks for sharing. Such a beautiful story.
I appreciate you being here Keshona!
Congratulations Ashley! Thanks for all your research, info, and encouraging attitude.
You were a God given messenger to me today as I listened when you spoke about God equipping us. He knows. Thank you!!! I am a 12 week postpardum plan user. Love ya!
Natalie, your message means so much to me. Really glad you have my 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan and my workouts have been helpful for you babe! THANK YOU for being part of this glowbodypt community.
So precious! Congratulations
You are so kind. Thank you.
Great video!!! I'm 14 wks pregnant with my 3rd and have a 10 month old. So here I go again!! I wish you sold the cookbook in a printed version- we have no Fed Ex office in our area or UPS store. Much love! 😘
This was so encouraging! I am 7 weeks out from delivery on my first and have been lovinggg the exercise routines you put on here-hearing your birth story and the faithfulness of the Lord ministered to my heart in so many ways. Thank you!
Awwe 33 weeks along! Major congrats Gracie and I'm grateful to have you as part of this glowbodypt community.
Congratulations
I loved your story!! Thank you for sharing and thank you for pulling back the curtain on expectations immediately after delivery! I wish your products were around 20 years ago when I was birthing my clan! I love that I can totally see your husband in baby Laurel! Beat Navy!
BEAT NAVY! : ) That's wild a woman delivered with her water never breaking. ....I swear all 4 kids look exactly like little Luke clones and not much like me at all.
Congratulations on your newest little babe 💗😘 I am praying for you during your recovery! I'm glad to hear everything went okay after all of that.
I had group B strep with our 2nd and I too, went into labor so quickly that they couldn't get into antibiotics into me. She had to be under the blue light and she was only 5 pounds 9 oz. Poor thing had her heels pricked so many times :( but now she's 5 and doing well! Praying for a quick recovery and rest for you and your family!
AWwwe you know I can relate. Laurel too was poked in the heel 6 times for blood checks, but also so grateful for modern medicine and that both of ours are just perfect.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Chels, thank YOU so much for watching and for being here. I am so appreciative.
Such a lovely touching story. Praise the Lord🥰 I am due in 7 weeks this is such a beautiful testimony 🙏
Sandra congrats on being due in 7 weeks with your baby!!!
Not just pregnancy hormones talking, I was all jammed up (in a good way) when you shared your testimony of crying out to God at the most trying point of labor, this is my first pregnancy, this is such a comfort to know that God hears us in this particular type of weakness. God bless you and your family, you are an immense blessing to me and my husband.
Stephanie, it's Ashley Keller. Congratulations to you and your hubby on your pregnancy. Thanks for sharing that this impacted you. May God be with you and you be with Him during your most trying moments as you prepare to meet your newborn!
@@glowbodypt would love to add, your pregnancy program is keeping me away from lethargy, depression, it was an answer to prayer, bc I wanted to keep working out, but didn't want to hurt baby. I could go on and on, but just know your efforts are an answer to prayer. Thank you for being faithful to God's call on your life.
Congratulations!!
Thank you Steph!!
This was so inspiring! I'm due in January so I'm ready to do your program when my time comes 💞
Major congrats being due in January!! Please update me/tag me @glowbodypt with baby pics so I can ooh and ahh, I LOVE babies so much!
I’m due in January too! We can train together 😉
Thank you for sharing. I have used some of your workout videos throughout my pregnancy and should deliver baby boy #5 within the next few weeks. Congratulations
congrats on expecting your #5 in a few short weeks! So glad to hear you've enjoyed my workouts so far (I LOVE hearing from moms of big families like yourself as you go through recovery on my 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan in our private FB group too!)
Thanks for sharing! I love birth stories, and am so happy all went well for you. My wonderful husband got me your new cookbook a few days ago, and we had the chipotle chili and PMS brownies for dinner tonight! Both were delicious, and I have a few more recipes lined up for next week. I really love all the extra info you've packed in there too, nutrition and health and cycle and kid tips. I would love your thoughts, in video or a similar cookbook product, for pregnancy specifically, how to eat well to nourish mom and baby. Don't need it immediately, but hoping to someday... 😉 Enjoy your baby moon!
Sarah I'm so glad you love my new Mom Cookbook and have already tried some of the recipes with more lined up for next week, and that you appreciate the women-specific nutrition inspiration for moms! That was so nice of your husband to get it for you.
Thank you for sharing!
I just finished one of your 10 min video workouts and couldn't resist watching. Lol..now I need to go finish my last video before I am done for the day.
Thanks for being such a sweet friend Ashley. I love spending time in my living room having you encourage me in the things I love. I definitely felt like I was in your living room hearing you tell me all about your birth. Your daughter is beautiful!
By the way...I also had strep B and I went sans sugar for 2 months at the end of my last 2 births. Lol...torture! But...the bacteria loves sugar and I was bent on starving it. Anywho....I also did a ton of other craziness with garlic and some other stuff. Did a drive by birth as well to avoid the antibiotics and stayed the extra 48 hours. Thankfully with both my water broke as they were born. Both healthy and fine. It was quite a relief! I am sure you understand.
Looking forward to doing some of your new prego videos. Working on our 4th now!
You go babe on doing my 10 Minute Plan for yourself!! Thanks for sharing your experience with group strep B as well and congrats on planning for baby number 4 Alaina. : D
What an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your story.
Really, I'm not! I promise. I'm just a regular mom with a bunch of kids, crumbs in car seats and butts to wipe.
@@glowbodypt I am expecting my 4th child late July. This will be my first out of hospital birth. I have enjoyed your workout videos through all of my pregnancies.
Hey girl! I totally feel your pain on the long laboring before active labor. I have now had 3 baby's, and each one was a long drown out process before I ever got to active (strong/regilar) labor, with the last baby I lost the plug and bleed at 5 am on friday, and tried to keep the contractions going, moving and even dancing as much as I could all the way to sunday at 4pm, before I was close enough to go to the hospital, and once there it was only another 5 hours. I was so exhausted! (And the defeat got to me a couple times too)
Babe thanks for resonating-- gosh I hear you 100%!
So beautiful! ❤️
THANK YOU. I am grateful to have you as part of this glowbodypt community.
Congratulations ashley !! Those deep sounds you were making and rocking like that I was literally the same learned through my previous births (3) that deep sounds and riding the contractions was the best thing for me it really helped me I pushed once and baby girl came out so fast really didn’t even have to push to be honest she came one her own for the most part no epidural as well and the whole pregnancy I did your workout prenatal videos that was really effective for me to be strong minded and feel like I can do it once again without the epidural!! congratulations again on your baby your strong mama I can’t wait to start your postpartum videos today’s marks for me the 40 days postpartum 😊🎉
congrats on your nearly 6 week old newborn added to your family and SO EXCITED to have you on my 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan soon!!
GlowBodyPT yess very soon thank you ashley !! 🥰♥️
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
Thank God for Luke. He is an excellent birth partner 👌🏾
Amanda, thank you so much!
I love you! ❤️
You look amazing for 4 kids!!!!
You are a ROCKSTAR momma🙌🏿💪🏿! The low groaning sounds are super effective for me also during labor! I feel like it helps me breathe baby down😀! I hope my delivery goes well also🙏🏿! Thanks for sharing ❤️ and congratulations again 🥳!
love that this resonated w/ you and worked for you too. Wishing you the best experience on your upcoming labor & delivery!
@@glowbodypt Thank you ☺️! I really appreciate that❤️🙏🏿!
Hi Ashley, thank you for sharing. You have been a great inspiration to me! I love your waist wrap. Where can I get one? Is it a postpartum specific wrap?
You have a rock-n-play!!! At least it looks exactly like that. I'm so sad we got rid of ours after my first two kids, none of the new rockers are as good, been searching for #3 due in 2 weeks. Congrats on your new one!
Oh good to know you loved yours. I was so sad to find its been recalled since all my kids have loved it, but seems like it was mostly for a mold issue and since ours has always been stored indoors and I wash it...pretty sure we are fine. Glad to have you as part of this glowbodypt community Sarah!!
Congrats!! I didn't hear how big your baby was? I love to hear because I know historically you've had larger babies. Thanks for sharing!! How did you print your programs like that? I would like to do that for the new recipes! Best of luck to you mama!
Thank you Ashley! Laurel was 8 pounds, exactly! Nothing like my nearly-10-pound Ryker. : ) I use Fed Ex Office for printing because it has the best prices in my area and almost always offers some sort of discount, but know that UPS store and staples offers similar. There are probably online print shops too, I just haven't used any of them. THANK YOU for all of your support.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I am currently pregnant with my fourth baby and doing your prenatal plan. I have always worked out during pregnancy and before and after, but I love your plan! Do you have a book or any other research you recommend as far as natural birth goes? I have never done it natural, but I have a feeling that may happen that way this time. I just want to be prepared!
Hey Ashley! Congrats on the sweet new baby! (: just wondering how I can download or purchase the new cookbook addition to the 12 week PPP, as I purchased the plan 6 months ago. it looks wonderful! Thank you!
Hi Claire! Thanks for your sweet congrats.
Congrats!! Also what is the band you’re wearing around your belly?
Thanks Brianna! I'm going to cover this more depth in my 1 week postpartum update video that will drop soon (still editing it), but I have it included on my Favorites page on glowbodypt website here: www.glowbodypt.com/products
Congratulations on your new little one! Thanks for sharing! I purchased and completed your postpartum plan after my first and am pregnant again going to be using your prenatal plan as well! The workouts were tough but I loved my results! Thank you so much!
I have a question- is there any way to get the mom cookbook since I bought the workout plan before it was included or should I just buy it now? It looks amazing! Thank you!
You are so sweet Megan, thank you! The Mom Cookbook just launched about a week and a half ago and is now included with the 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan (you'll notice the 12 Week PPP price also went up to reflect that added value). The Mom Cookbook is a stand-alone instant download too for women like you who already have the 12 Week PPP and those who don't have it: www.glowbodypt.com/mom-cookbook
@@glowbodypt Ok, that's good to know. Thanks and blessings to your family! 😄
Beautiful story!! God is the only way I have made it through all 6 of my births.
SIX! You go Caitlen! Thanks so much for being here- I'm sure I could learn from you.
Leadership of our husbands. THIS.
I cannot believe you delivered at womack just days before I did!!
Thank you so so much for sharing! Did you do anything to avoid or mitigate tearing? I had stage two tearing with my last delivery and I would like to help lessen the severity this next time around!
I didn't do anything to avoid tearing, but many women do perineal massage to help with tearing. It is significantly less common subsequent babies so I'm hopeful for you!
PRAISE GOD!
Where do we get these PP books at ?
I really like the actual book 😭
Hey Nicole, I use Fed Ex Office store for all my printing (best prices in my area) and they almost always have sales/discounts if you ask. : )
Congratulations on Laurel's birth. She's beautiful and a perfect addition to your family!
Just so you know, the Rock 'N Play she's sleeping in is recalled and dangerous.
Thank you so much.
@@glowbodypt we kept ours anyway 😬 baby loves it! But if you contact the company they will send you something to return it in and allow you to exchange for new item. Congrats! 🎉
It's not actually dangerous, some people found that mold can accumulate inside. Don't be an alarmist. It's actually an incredible rocker and I wish we had kept ours. Keep it clean and there's nothing wrong with it.
@@threearrows2248 Not true, many babies have died in the rock n play because of positional asphyxiation. It is a very unsafe product and should not be used at all, even when awake and especially not for sleep. Hence the recall. You can return them to a local Target for a refund.
Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl! New sub here👋... I noticed your outfit, is the wrap purely anesthetic or is it an abdominal wrap? If not, do you recommend wrapping?....Im due in April with #3😆🙏🏽
Awwe congrats on expecting your third baby this April! You need to watch this vid- I answer your questions here! ua-cam.com/video/F0z2OD6xlQA/v-deo.html
Thanks for sharing your story! 32 weeks here with a breech baby. I’ve been trying spinning babies exercises. Any other recommendations to get baby to turn to head down?
Not alarming at all for baby to be breech at 32 weeks, 3 of my 4 were also upside down at 32 weeks. Still plenty of time to flip naturally! I recommend walking 4 days per week and if you have access, to swim or kickboard kick at your local pool too. Laurel didn't flip til 36 + weeks.
This honestly scares me because I know I’m no where near as experienced and ready as you to have a baby! whew I feel like everything got real reaaaal!! Please pray for me please that God gives me the strength and ability to be in the moment and not to be freaking out or terrified as I feel I’m going to be 😅
No babe, use this as ENCOURAGEMENT. God will hold your hand and lift you up when you need Him most. My "experience" does not qualify me for an easy labor- we truly have very limited control over our labor and certainly can't control our contractions length or intensity or frequency. I am very hopeful for you and your birth and delivery!
Don't freak out. My first labor, I was in such a deep meditation during my contractions that 10 hours passed and I had no idea. Trust your body. Fear makes it 1000 times worse. You'll get through it!
Thank you my lady-fam!
What a beautiful baby! Love your birth story! I do not want to offend, just wanted you to know that the Rock and Play your sweet girl is in has been recalled. I am a Montessori Infant teacher, so I am on top of everything infant related. I think it was recalled a few years ago due to accidents causing injury and death. Sorry, i am a safe sleep crazy lady! Again, I love your birth story and how down to earth you are!
Bridgette, that's awesome you are a Montessori Infant teacher! Yes- another woman let me know this in the comments. I had NO IDEA and all my kids have used it! You'll also see her in it in my 1 week pp video that I've already filmed but so grateful for you and this community because we can all learn from one another. thanks again love
Just had my second baby Sept 3 at 38 weeks was nice but I need that bassinet I like the style where u get it ??
Hey lovely! Congrats on your second baby being born early September when you were 38 weeks along. : ) This bassinette was actually recalled (someone let me know in the comments! one article I read said due to mold when you don't clean it and another said due to the angle....anyways 3 of my kids have loved it but they don't sell it anymore).
I want to know the wrap
Around waist and also the
It's called benkung belly binding and have it linked to my favorites here: www.glowbodypt.com/products
Congratulation Ashley! I am 26 weeks pregnant with my first baby. Just wanted to know if you had any tearing?
Awwwe congrats on nearly 3rd trimester! With Gavin, I had an epidural and episiotomy (cut to prevent tearing). With Ryker, 1st degree tear (mild) with stiches postpartum. With Ava, no tearing, no stiches. With Laurel, no tearing, no stiches.
Thanks Ashley for your quick response. Your birth story is so inspiring! Does it help with less tearing without taking epidural?
Random what are you black sandles? Those look comfy and that they will have good arch support!
Congratulations! I'm due with baby #4 end of November. What is the wrap around your waist for? Should I get one 😅
AWWE congrats on expecting your 4th just next month! Yep I highly recommend belly binding (I do benkung belly binding) but also like a 3=piece velcro if you don't want to do benkung. My stomach came down much faster using it verses not using it and helps flush out excess fluids and shortens bleeding time. You'll see how I do it in my 1 Week Postpartum video once I get around to editing that and get it on youtube!
Can people who have previously bought the 12 week plan be grandfathered into this cookbook combo?
Hi love! No ma'am. My new Mom Cookbook just released 3 weeks ago and you'll notice the price of the 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan went up to reflect the added value too. : )
@@glowbodypt excellent! Just checking!
Praise be to God!!! So what are you suppose to do for 9 weeks after birth to be cleared for post partum?
Walk! Kegels. Eat well. Drink hot tea. Creative projects. I could do a whole video on this : )
Where do I go to get the plans?
Hey Warrior! What's your real name so I can remember? www.glowbodypt.com/12-week-post-pregnancy-plan-2
It’s Kyra! ❤️🥰
What kind of bassinet was that in the beginning of the video? 😀
It's a rock-n-play. They don't make them anymore, but it was honestly the best rocker in the world.
@@threearrows2248 thanks! I see it had been recalled 👀
it was recalled I just learned...what I read from one article is from mold? Anyways I've used it for all four babies now but wouldn't recommend it since it has been recalled. : )
@@glowbodypt If yours is the Rock N Play, I believe it was recalled because over 30+ deaths were associated with babies older than 3 months, who rolled over and suffocated in the bassinet. There were warnings before the recall not to use the bassinet when the baby starts rolling though, which is about 3 months. But some parents used the bassinet for overnight sleep or unsupervised, which they should not have done.
Can I ask why you have something wrapped round your tummy? Is that a post pregnancy thing?
This is called benkung belly binding, and I've done it after my last 3 babies! You'll learn more about it in this vid: ua-cam.com/video/F0z2OD6xlQA/v-deo.html Welcome, I'm glad to meet you Karla.
Now you got me being curious: Are you against epidural, Ashley? My due date is in two days and I will have to decide if I do one or not…
Congratulations on expecting your baby anytime now! I am NOT opposed to epidural. I had one with Gavin (my first) and sincerely felt like I was going to die, and was so grateful for the chance to have an epidural that delivery. My last 3 labor and deliveries have been significantly smoother and I'd prefer to go without meds whenever posssible since sometimes the body can perform the opposite way, slow down, need more pitocin and other drugs, or slow down and lead to an unplanned c-section.
Hi Ashley! Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to answer to my question. That is really helpful to know since I consider you a birthing pro ;) It'll be my first child so I feel I still got a lot to learn. At the same time I trust that I will know what to do. I am 40+2 weeks now and can't wait to deliver our girl. I have been preparing my body for labour and the time after with your Prenatal Plan and, yes, I already got myself the Posnatal Plan as well. Thank you so much for everything you do for us! I am a big fan! @@glowbodypt
