    Thanks for sharing this with us. I had my baby boy on December 3 and I was exercising up to one week before I had him. I was running/walking up to 4 miles and the delivery was so easy. I delivered within an hour, I was 8cms. dilated when I got to the hospital. You were always my inspiration when I didn’t want to work out, I would search one of your videos and then got off my butt and headed to the gym 😊. I love you so much thanks for being the kind of woman that empowers other women.💖Congratulations on your baby girl❣️

    1) hip circles on ball
    2) swaying / laying on ball
    3) toilet with squatty potty position
    4) bath on knees and rock slowly. Sit on butt but be upright
    5) hands on back of hospital bed
    6) lean of hospital bed, standing on side of bed

    37 weeks with baby #2, my 2yo son heard your voice while I was watching this for the first time and started pulling out my weights and yoga mat. 😂 Ashley Kellers voice means work out time!
    Really appreciated your take on the toilet position! Was pressured a ton to do that with my 1st and it hurt so much I couldn't handle it and was left wondering what was wrong with me. Definitely going to try for the 2 contraction goal with this baby!

    Its crazy how when we just listen to our body and what feels comfortable, we naturally end up in these types of positions! I labored leaned over most of the time whether it was into my husband or on the floor or over our ottoman or over the side of the birth pool and also a lot on the toilet! I loved the stability ball and doing lots of swaying and circles in early labor but once active labor started I had to be down and leaning over with my butt way out! haha! I couldn't stand to be upright at all. Congrats on your little girl Ashley!!

    Thank you for reminding about "staying internal". I appreciate your words of encouragememt throughout your videos as well! Lots of people dont realize that a big part of getting ready for labor and birth is learning to mentally prepare! It is so often overlooked since we are concerned with getting our bodies ready for the physical trauma and the two go hand in hand.

    Hi Ashley, do you have any videos on what exercises to do when your baby is sitting breech? I am 27 weeks tomorrow and my ultrasound showed that my baby has been sitting breech. I am staying positive and trusting my body and baby will naturally move, but like a lot of mamas who watch your videos, I just love helping my baby out as much as I can by being healthy and exercising.
    Thank you so much!

    Hoping I can implement some of this in my 3rd delivery! 39 weeks tomorrow & baby still hasn't moved into position. They've said if I go into labor atm it'd be an emergency c-section. This is what I most want to avoid, so praying that all my "flip the baby" yoga positions & stretches do something finally!

      @@glowbodypt It's a boy! We ended up trying an ECV a week ago, but it was unsuccessful. We ended up having a c-section the next afternoon. It's not what I wanted, but basically everyone around me was saying it was the safest option to ensure the health of both baby & I. He was born on the 22nd...7 lbs 5 oz...he's perfect & breastfeeding great. I'm really struggling with the recovery, though. Had 6.25 inches of staples removed yesterday, but I get really stiff & can't move after laying or sitting down for even 30 minutes. Do you have any links to c-section safe postpartum stretches or workouts? Definitely looking forward to getting the all-clear after my 4 week follow-up!

    Ashley - This video is sooo helpful!! Thank you so much! :) How did you know when to go to the hospital? The reason I ask is because general rule they tell you is to go when your contractions are 5 min apart. In the video you said early on your were walking the neighborhood at 2 min apart. Also, a friend told me she was ready to push at 2 min apart. Everyone's experiences are different.... So, how do you know? Thanks so much!

    I can’t find the particular video but you previously had mentioned that you had membrane sweeps and that your boys were 11 days late, right?
    How long did it take for you to start labor after your membrane sweep? I’m in a similar situation myself right now with my first boy and im trying to avoid a full on medical induction.

    • @glowbodypt

      Correct, I did go 11 days late on my boys! YES to the sweeps, it helps some women for sure, just didn't help me.

Don't judge me for not being buckled, just couldn't bear the pain of sitting on my tailbone. Sending love your way. I'd rather get their earlier vs later so you can labor OUT OF THE CAR in person.

    Real quick, please do NOT put undiluted essential oils in the bath or birth tub! They will float on top of the water, and if you have your baby in the water the oils could burn little one's skin. Essential oils are best avoided entirely for anyone under 3 months old, hydrosols are best
