I'm so excited for you! I just gave birth, unmedicated, to my 3rd son Jan. 31st. I used some of the breathing techniques you outlined on your other videos and my nurse said I could teach people to birth 🤣 it made me feel good and I hope it makes you feel good too knowing your info really works and really helps
Why do people like you brag about "birthing unmedicated" (whatever the hell that means) as if it makes you better or even means anything?
@@veevee306 It means they didn't use an Epidural or anything like that. And that's a hard thing to do, and it's worth celebrating. They didn't say they were better then anyone. Every birthing person deserves to have the birth they wanted, and that is worth celebrating.
@@veevee306 uhm not bragging at all and people like me? Whats that supposed to mean?...i mentioned it, because it directly relates to the breathing exercises she spoke about in another video. Also, where you so salty? Its very hard to birth naturally without any medicines at all, and I'm proud of myself for doing it 3 times, I don't care if it bothers you.
Congratulation for the new baby💟I think that Elizabeth will enjoy to sea that her videos were useful...I am not planning to have a baby yet but really enjoy her content. 🤗
@@Puffolina15 thank you! And I hope so..it really did help me
Nurse Zabe: "you are looking absolutely magnificent today"
Me: *hair in a not-so-attractive messy bun and rocking yesterday's mascara... Now getting teary-eyed because hormones are super fun and Nurse Zabe said that I look magnificent. :') :') *
Pregnancy insomnia has been intense for the last couple of weeks. 6 weeks left until I meet my baby! :D Your content has been so helpful in preparing for this baby! I wish that your channel was around for all of my pregnancies!
“All you beautiful birthing people”
Me, not pregnant, but just wanting to watch lol
👁👄👁
Same I am single too 💀
Same 😂 I just love her personality
You mean MOMS or mamas in the making. Your term "birthing people" are offensive . Most of us have waited YEARS to get pregnant and to deny us the term Mamas or moms etc.... taking away that right to be called a mama is truly offensive.
@@inthemaking980 Ok. So, calm your tits lol. It is in quotations, because it wasn’t said by me. So you can take your weird comment elsewhere. Thanks. 👀✌🏼

Bra suggestion: $15 Auden plunge comfort bralette from Target
I do love Auden bras!
Yes! I have these.
I tried one and it’s great!
The only ones I wear!! ❤️
Yes ❤️
Can you do a video about what to expect in school for becoming a labor and delivery nurse?❤️(so excited for you and your family) love your videos!
love, a future labor and delivery nurse❤️
I have a video all about how I became an L&D nurse and one about clinical!
Just had my second child April 14th and had an incredibly beautiful experience ✨
Sending you all of my love and happy/healthy baby goodness 💚
I'm 35 weeks pregnant and starting my labor bag! :) This video was very helpful!
The auden nursing bras from Target are great! Meet all your criteria except not lacy pretty lol. They are like a V neck sports bra style but they have 3 hook & eye closure in the back. Theyre the BEST
They are my favorite and that’s probably what I’ll end up packing. For some reason I just envision something a little bit prettier. 😂🤦🏼♀️ But I will definitely bring my Auden bras for postpartum.
Just wanted to throw out there that amazon has great bras! I recommend the momcozy, it is a bra that has the openings for the breast pump, the straps have the easy snaps to undo it to help breastfeed. Also includes washable inserts instead of foam padding and they give you an extender!! In case the band doesnt fit you use the extender to give an extra 2 inches!!!
I love the idea of the lemon water seasoning. I was really worried about going to the bathroom after baby was born so I mixed prune juice in my water. It was better than just drinking the prune juice and I think it made things a lot easier in the end.
Mixing prune juice with orange and apple juice warmed up is called an “OB cocktail” and it is delicious!
Those Honeypot pads are amazing! I used them postpartum last time instead of making padsicles. Just as cooling as padsicles, but less messy.
I am super excited to try them. As excited as one can be for a sore perineum after childbirth 😅
😂 Anything that makes the healing process easier and more enjoyable! If I remember correctly, they smelled good too!
Congratulations!!! I’m also 36 weeks pregnant with my first baby. Your videos have helped me tremendously ❤️❤️
Yay to us being almost done!
She came early y’all ! DOB 05/01 DD 05/19 Healthy and beautiful
Mommas shop has some that are super cute and just like the auden ones from target! Pink, grey or peach with lace on the front bit, sewn in/padded cups... they've got a deal going right now too! I just ordered 3...
34 weeks with our first!
I just got those!!! Soooo comfy
I love the electric candle idea!! Also, your dress is adorable!! May I ask where you got it? Thank you for making such helpful videos!!
How exciting. We are 35 weeks and gender unknown also! Feeling great so far and not wanting this pregnancy to end yet. Wish I could do this again but IVF is insanely expensive so I’m cherishing this one while it lasts.
I'm almost 38 weeks! Been waiting for this video from you!! Thanks for sharing 😊
Yay! Congrats on being almost done!
I just had my first baby in March and didn’t use most of my stuff after our birth went a very very different direction than planned! The plan was unmedicated and ended in a 30 hour induction 😅😅 she then got stuck rotating from OP and stopped progressing when she got stuck against my tailbone. But we did it! Flex and flow, and the epidural saved us from a c-section, even if I only had it for about 2 hours of labor and then 1 hour of pushing! I’m also so glad I brought my own water cup because my hospital only provided tiny styrofoam cups
And I sent you a suggestion for a bra on IG!
Congratulations! The epidural can definitely be an amazing and useful tool in the labor toolbox. It’s so important to be able to find the best path for you and babe to navigate labor, and each can be so different!
3 weeks ago I had my 5th baby! First baby we brought 5 bags of stuff! By the 5th I just put a few things in my purse! Lol.
I loved the herbal pads!! They make you feel so clean with the cooling
They sound amazing!
Love it! Especially the postpartum care products. I am a birth doula and have so many products in my bag for my clients. Basically I pack a hospital bag for my clients JUST IN CASE they forget something. It's overkill but my worse nightmare is a client not having something they wanted! (ESPECIALLY CHAPSTICK!) LOL!
I love that. I bet they are so thankful to have the extra things!
@@Nurse_zabe thank you! A lot of things they never need because they brought their own, but the added level of security and comfort definitely adds peace of mind for everybody! :)
I don't usually love the hospital bag videos but this one was actually useful/educational for me. Not that I'm surprised but thank you!
I love your videos and you look absolutely stunning 😍
Some of the products you showed made me smile a little. Remembered my labour and there was no way I needed eye masks and essential oils. 😊🤩🤣 I was dilated to 8 when I finally got my epidural. Once it kicked in I asked for my lipbalm ( lips tend to get super dry from the gas & air and super heavy breathing) and scrunchie and managed to drink water from a cup. That was all I needed for labour.
I know this is old but I'm preparing for my 4th delivery, 2nd unmedicated, and zipper bras are perfect. Another thing I swear by is french braids. I keep my hair in braided pigtails 37 weeks on because there is no hair maintenance at the hospital.
Thank you for posting this, I have been dragging my feet doing this😒. I'm due May 31 also, but just had my ultrasound Monday and they are measuring baby at 7.7... this is my first after 21 years of being told I couldn't have kids (I will be 40 in August). I have severe allergies so I am hoping for unmedicated vag birth but whew if she waits much longer I am so uncertain due to that size. And I am doing this alone by choice... so yeah packing hospital bag and setting up car seat this weekend.
Congrats on being so close to the finish line!🥳 I love everything you listed for your bag. The only thing you didn’t mention which I massively relied on was a Bluetooth speaker for music to set the mood. So much better than just playing stuff directly out of your phone as the sound quality is better and it doesn’t kill your phone battery. Hope this helps!
You're gorgeous! I'm not pregnant yet but in the future I will definitely watch your videos to calm down when in labour 🥰 so positive and calming ❤
You’re too sweet 💗
Tallow for all my moisturising needs! And I've got electrolytes from LMNT. I've added an ice pack I can heat up now, too. True lemon is a great idea.
Congratulations on your third baby! My son is turning 6 months on Mother’s Day and your videos helped me so much when I was pregnant. Lots of love to you and your family. 🌸🌺🌼🌻
💗💗💗
I used your code and bought the first trimester box from Wumblekin!! I’m so excited to celebrate my pregnancy with these boxes!
So glad you uploaded this. I’m 24 weeks with my first so seeing this is great information!
Thanks for a great video! I’m 15 weeks pregnant with my first baby and this helped me a lot. I have a severe wool allergy and so glad I now know to avoid lanolin!
I’m 24 weeks today. Such a relief to reach viability! Have been loving watching your videos!
I had my first baby 6 weeks ago. Didn’t have time for any setting up or epidural (precipitous labour). But I just wanted to say your videos were so helpful. I felt so much more prepared and it helped me through my postpartum symptoms.
I’m so happy to hear that. Congratulations!
Hello! I just watched your video regarding defusing oils last week! I had wanted to try essential oils this time so I did some research and found some "inhalers" by Plant Therapy that are a similar idea to cotton pads but a bit less messy. They are tubes you fill and stick a wick in and have cute little travel covers! I am 36 weeks along with my 4th but its been 6 years since I've done this so I'm brushing up with your videos. Thank you SO much!! You have some much needed reminders and things I hadn't even thought about and am now excited to try! Thanks for keeping me company on these long uncomfortable nights near the end! 😄
Thumbs-up before even watching 👀. 🤣 I trust the content, what can I say?!
Love this video so excited for you nurse Zabe!! My baby is due in July and I’m so excited 🥺🥰
My SIL is due in July! Congrats!
The honey pot pads are AMAZING
I keep hearing that!!
First time getting to watch you now that I'm pregnant! Been watching your videos before to research and now I get to binge old vids to review!!!
Yay! Congrats!
I loooooove the candle idea!!!!
Wow I’m 36 weeks as well 🥰 due on the 31st! ❤️
The Honeypot pads were my absolute favorite. I only used two packs.
Snacks are so important! Glad you mentioned at the end cause my friend sent me a pic of the food she got....and it was the saddest thing. I'm 39+1 myself so got myself protein rich snacks as I had just popped an after birth treat in my bag and realised that cant be enough 😮
Different hospital though....I know mine gives everyone a cupcake for having a baby
We give a fruit and cheese plate and sparkling cider, but I think I’d rather a cupcake! 🧁
@@Nurse_zabe cheese!? 😍 I wouldn't say no to that now....and my friend was crying for a block of cheese after hers.
I'll let you know if the cupcake is any good.
Tea and toast is the standard in Ireland too, everyone says its the best tea n toast of your life
This is such a great video! I’m 35 weeks with number 3 too! Love your videos!
I’m 35 weeks 1 day now and I have baby’s bag packed but still haven’t packed mine, I’m notorious for packing for myself last minute lol. So glad you made this video, hopefully it’ll give me some ideas.
Pack your bag! You never know when the last minute arrives. Unless you have a sceduled birth, it is not like an airplane flight, you dont know when it happens and you need to be prepared. Good luck
Thank you for this!!! I’m a first time mom wanting an unmedicated birth and have no clue what I will want. You have great ideas!
It’s nice to have a ton of options!
You announced your pregnancy shortly after I delivered my baby, and I’m shocked that you’re almost finished! Where does the time go?
My hospital had a really awesome heating pad there for mamas! You should check and see if yours does too to save yourself some space!
im 29 weeks this saturday n I'm so anxious, like I can't wait to meet my baby girl but im also kinda scared :( thx for the tips they're super helpful
Aww, I am 35 weeks with my first baby!
Congratulations
I accidentally bought a no underwire, padded, clips in the back, nursing bra on target (I am not pregnant or a mother yet). Decided to keep it cause it´s so comfy! haha
I'm 3 weeks away and my bags have been packed for about 2 weeks! I like being prepared :) I also have 2 bags, one for labor and one for after.
I normally am not this prepared, but being in the middle of a move has definitely made me think further ahead!
@@Nurse_zabe Oh goodness, I am so glad I don't have to worry about moving! I helped my best friend move immediately after her first two babies were born. I was on baby(ies) and mama duty, making sure they had everything they needed. That's a much better job than moving furniture around 😁
If you’re still looking for bras, try Soma nursing bra. Pad that don’t move, open at the back. Flattering. Don’t have lace though.
1st time mama here: I have 9 weeks left and I'm petrified of L&D 😂🤣
We just welcomed our baby boy 4/23 and I’ve used your videos and one other creators videos. It went so well and baby boy came out with not hemmies, no tears, and within around ten contractions (ish). I did have an epidural, and could feel the contractions without pain and it was so dang weird.
That’s awesome! Congrats!!
Your baby is my birthday twin🥺💕 congrats!
Lost my mucus plug this morning and now I'm having contractions about 20 ish minutes apart but I'm supposed to go to hospital in the morning for my c section. I'm making last minute touches to my bag right now as I'm typing this lol I would think I'd be a little more prepared since this is my 3rd lol but this whole COVID mess has had me all scatter brained worse then usual.
I'm having my son on Monday, we're having a c section. And this is really weird, but I am just so excited for ice chips, I've been craving them my entire pregnancy 🤣🤣🤣
Where did you find that swaddle/bow/hat combo!? We are team green and I’ve been looking everywhere for something like that. So excited for you guys! I’m like 5 weeks behind you so you getting ready definitely makes it seem more real for our family 🥰 your videos have definitely helped us prepare for our new addition
They were also from milkmaid goods! Pretty sure they are having a Mother’s Day sale this weekend!
@@Nurse_zabe thank you! Checking them out now 😁
If u haven't already can u do a video on how to get a baby to sleep better at night my 10month old still wakes multiple times for cuddles and I don't know how to stop it with out lots of tears!
Auden bras from Target. I have a few without underwire and I bought two nursing bras from them. They’re really comfortable and clasp in the back.
Those are my favorite nursing bras!!
@@Nurse_zabe Target also has a beand called Warner’s. I have a plain white bra just fro sleeping and it's really soft and comfortable with no underwire. I don't know if they make pretty bras, but they're super comfortable.
Cosabella makes really nice full coverage nursing lacy bras that have a back clasp. A bit more $ but really high quality.
First time momma here...due in August. 💗
Make sure you check to see if you need batteries for your fairy lights and candles 😊
Awesome video & super helpful considering I’m 36 weeks today with my 2nd babe. Tho there’s 12 years between my first & her. Lol
I use those honeypot pads with regular periods! They are really nice and definitely help with the soreness. My only note is that it sometimes feels damp against your skin.
Everyone is getting me really hyped to use those pads 😂
I was wondering how you were doing :) you look great! love the hair :D I'm almost 39 weeks and still packing xD wish you the best of luck with your delivery!!!
My hair is getting so long! Haven’t had it cut in over a year 😬. Congrats on almost being done! That final stretch can be tough, but we’ll make it through!
Bra suggestion: I loved using a zip-front sports bra. I haven’t looked for one with sewn-in pads but just wanted to offer my idea. Best wishes! Love your videos!
I saw that someone else suggested this as well...great minds. 😉
Hello from Canada. We delivered a healthy baby in summer of 2020 and wanted to send a big thank you as your videos were awesome and helpful during pregnancy and delivery as under covid regulations it was only my husband and I. I was wondering if you could make a video about covid vaccination and menstrual cycles. Once again, thank you so very much!!!!
Hallo Elizabeth
I have a question. I have had a HYSTEROSCOPIC PROCEDURE done before we did a IVF, i am now 37 and a couple of days pregnant.
Now my question.
If work was done on my Uterus ( because it wasnt shaped correctly, hence why we didnt fall pregnant naturally. Can i opt for a Vaginal birth or should i opt for a c-section ? Im really worried about this and no one is giving me a straight answer.
Would really appreciate a reply ❤
So I have used those honey pot pads before. I have slightly sensitive skin but not terribly sensitive. While the "cooling" sounds really great when you're all tore up down there, when I used them it felt like my lady parts were on fire. It was so uncomfortable, not only while I had it on but for a couple hours later.
I got worried about you cause you hadn’t posted in awhile. Glad to see you here and that you’re doing well.
Just super busy and tired with selling our house and baby’s arrival!
I'm not even pregnant 😂 I'm just watching so I can refresh my memory in the hopes of having a second baby in the coming year 😂
35 Weeks with first baby!
I just finished my bag last night.💙
What’s your opinion on midwives brew? I’ve had a few friends suggest using it.
I personally am not the biggest fan of castor oil because I’ve seen a lot of people come in pooping their brains out 😬. Definitely check with your provider and see what they recommend for you.
Other than heating pads, what’s recommended for postpartum cramps?
I loved those honey pot postpartum pads
We are due so soon can’t wait but I’m nervous to go from 2 boys to 3. EDD May 23rd 🙀
I gave birth two weeks ago to my second at 37 weeks 4 days(my first was born 38 weeks 4 days! So I was in shock when I went a week early and he was a pound heavier then my daughter even though he was a week earlier). I had a second degree tear again and a tear in labia. He came pretty quick, I pushed him out in 13 mins compared to 1 hour 20 mins with my daughter). I'm starting to get really itchy, I don't think I used anything with my first but this time the itching is intense. I use tucks wipes after using the bathroom and I get Epsom salt baths and showers to make sure it's all clean down there. I can never get use to using the perineum bottle. I'm getting so itchy in vagina, labia and perineum..basically everywhere there is a stitch. Is there something that will help the itch?
Torrid has exactly what you just asked for in a nursing bra. No wire a little lace the pads don’t move and it snaps in the back
I'm due in August and its my first baby. I've been binging so many videos about everything. My mom had to be induced with all 4 of us and my sister had to be induced with her baby in February. I'm worried I'm gonna have to get induced, but my dr also told me I have a friable cervix and when researching about that it said the baby could come early. I have no clue when to pack my bag lol.
I am due in August as well! Was hoping to start packing in June just to not stress over it later on and add things in case I forgot anything
Kohls has a bra similar to that in their maternity section! I just bought one!
I didn’t find any with the pads sewn in when I looked at my kohl’s. Maybe online?
Currently 21 weeks with babies number 2 and 3. I NEED to try those herbal infused pads! I hated every single pad I got when I had my first!
I am hearing rave reviews both here and on Instagram!
I love the Auden nursing bras from Target!
Peppermint to help you pee?! I am so curious and would love a further explanation
Loved this video. Herbal pads are a nice idea.
Everyone has been saying these honeypot ones are amazing!
On Amazon: Fruit of the loom seamless wire free. The 1st result that isn't an ad, the main pic is Heather grey. Honestly, not super pretty, but the most comfortable bra I've ever worn. I normally wear sports bras at work because I work a heavy labor job (lol not a pun) and I wear these now instead.
I'm curious how she liked the "cooling" pads. I've tried some before just for periods and it really just felt like toothpaste on my vag. lol
Calia by Carrie Underwood has what you described. Very supportive.
Oh my gosh I was cracking up during this!! I gave birth to my second baby one year ago, and i just HAD to have mascara on to feel complete. Well after sweating and labor for 5 hours. Let’s just say. Momma was looking ROUGH! 😭
Try AERIE!!! they have great wireless bras!
My husband has his own diaper bag for the sheer reason that he can't find what I ask him for, even though I tell him exactly where it's at. Then because he can't find find it he makes a complete mess out of the bag.
Yup did the same thing baby is 4 weeks old and it makes things easier.
Do you think it’s important to have a support person during labor?
We had our little one 4/10/21. Gender unknown.
5.5hr vaginal unmedicated delivery baby girl Victoria Elizabeth Overfield! Best surprise of my life ❤️
Auden nursing seamless bra by Auden from Target! Meets all of your specifications. :)
All the nipple creams I read about are coconut oil and I know its great for most folks- I'm allergic. What do you recommend as a substitute
Honestly your own breastmilk is great!!
Thank you! ☺️
As bra suggestion there is a fun company called Hotmilk that does great lacy covering nursing bras
Looking up now!
Can you make a video about the best way to make sure you are clear about what you do and do not consent to during labor. For example I just heard about the “husband stitch”?!? How do I ensure my doctor knows I do not consent to that without coming off as crazy?
I certainly can. I do have a video on making decisions in labor. I think your best bet is to have these conversations ahead of time with your provider. I will say I’ve never seen a provider do or suggest a husband stitch. Not saying it doesn’t happen. Writing down your birth plan/preferences can also be helpful in communicating too!
For the bra. Go to Victoria’s Secret and ask for a full coverage wireless T-shirt bra. I think you’ll really like those and they’re not as pricey as their other bras and at the end of may and the whole month of June, a lot of them go on clearance to be like $20 and cheaper and cheaper throughout June.
I too am 36 weeks pregnant and do not know the gender❤ bless you!
I’m 38 weeks today and haven’t packed my bag yet
nursing bras by mommas shop. I got 3 for $40
