Hey, Mamas, thanks for watching my video! I'm so glad to have you here and apart of this community! How many weeks pregnant are you and what are you most excited about for birth? 💛
Due Sept 23rd. This is my 5th child and God willing it will also be my 5th birth without medication.
I am most excited for the birthing part.....the moment the child comes out.....its such relief lol
I am 37 weeks with my second girl and I am trying to have a medication free birth but I am so nervous!
I'm 37 1/2 weeks 🙂
@@sandyaleman1619 You can do it, mama! What are you mostly nervous about?
Bridget Teyler The contractions. With my first daughter I tensed up and ended up getting the epidural at only 3cm. So I keep thinking that I’m going to give in again or that I’m going to freak out again! But your videos are definitely helping me keep more calm this time around
Breath technique times
1:14 - Destresser Breath - breathe in 4-6 secs, exhale 6-8 secs, 4 times in a row (get through contractions)
5:43 - Transition breathing - short shallow breaths; 2 in, 2 out (resist the urge to bear down/push)
7:57 - "J" breath - breathe in, low moan out, tighten abs/uterus as you breathe out
Thank you. just the info i was looking for.
Thank you !!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you!!
Thanks
Thanks dear!
I had no meds and used breathing techniques for 4 births. I had 2 water births, for my last 2 babies. I am SO glad I had no meds😅🥰 I kept looking to Jesus to help me, which is how I get thru life... xxx ❤️✝️
God bless you 🙏🙏🙏
I just gave birth two days ago and the fact that I had watched this video previously really SAVED THE DAY!!!!!
I went into spontaneous labor at 40 weeks & 2 days and we had no babysitter! Due to COVID-19 I had to labor in the hospital completely alone! These breathing techniques got me through my entire labor with no epidural, no complications, and not a single vaginal tear!
Thank you!!!!
Amazing, congratulations!!
Truely amazing! Congratulations!
Congratulations Leah, Praise God!!!! And thank God for Bridget!!! 💛💛💛💛💛
Omg what state are you in to have to birth alone. I would be so mentally depressed and stressed not having my partner there. I’m due in 11 days lol
@@samanthasin7291 hope everything goes smoothly for you and your baby! ☺
Guess what? I am going to try this breathing style right now (2-3cm). Pray for me and for my baby. Thank you for this advice.
Geraldine Macapanas how did it go?
@@brothertn708 Somehow, it helps. But the pain is still there. The breathing is a great help but you should help yourself. I was helpless that time 'cause no one can help me but myself. So just keep it in mind that everything is worth it when the time you hear your baby's first cry.
How is that beautiful baby? I don't have to see a baby to know that they're beautiful because there all are
God bless🙏🏽💛✝️
Same here, I’m in getting induced
I just wanted to let you know because of your breathing techniques, I was able to go through my labor with no medication or epidural!!!! I want to thank you for everything!!!!!! The best experience ever !!!! I had my son today at 2:15 after getting my water broken at 11:50 AM.
Congrats I'm proud of you!! I'm due in January and am planning an unmedicated birth in a birthing center. I hope I can do it!
@@cwolf3011 Congrats to you too!! You can do it, I know you can. Just don't give up :).
Congratulations!!! That’s awesome I hope I’m able to get through labor with this
Wow congrats baby coming next month hopefully this helps me too I’m planning no medication birth 😉
I have a doubt,,are you got normal delivery only follow this breathing techniques,I mean without any workout before due date
I hope to God I will remember these breathing when the time comes.
I feel exactly the same thing.
You will ladies. It truly works and you will perfect in within the first 15 minutes of trying g it during labor.
Lmao I was just thinking this
I am so thankful to God for leading me to this video !
I did these breathing techniques through out my labor and i felt that i have had control over my contractions by the grace of God....
Thank you so much !!!
You're welcome! It's so incredible experiencing the miracle of birth through our bodies!
Sahithi Rahul God bless🙏🏽💛✝️
Did you tear?
Feeling this too! I’m due real soon
God bless you! Congratulations Beautiful mama!
I'm watching this for the second time with my second baby, after using these practices with my first babe! I pushed him out in 17 minutes because of this video!🎉 Thank you.
I'm a doula, and this video is really useful for my pregnant clients, because the techniques are simple and effective - thank you! One more tip: Relaxing/dropping your lower jaw as you breathe out also really helps to open up the cervix (I think I got that one from the great Ina May Gaskin). Wishing all the pregnant women (and partners) watching this a good, strong birth experience. xox
I’m a doula, and I think you’re amazing! This is so useful.
I had my little one 6 weeks ago and I watched your video everyday in my last trimester. It really helped! Doing the“J” breath is a lot harder than it looks (considering you’re breathing while pushing) but thank you so much for this!! To all expecting moms: when the time comes JUST BREATHE! Breathing is going to get you through the whole thing
Your videos have been a huge comfort during this whole covid-19 mess. As of right now I can only have 1 support person with me right now and I’m terrified that will change. All my birth classes have been canceled and your videos have been a comfort to make me feel more prepared. Thank you so much ❤️
Wife getting induced today, going to try these breathing techniques to have a better labor process. Thanks, sounds simple and effective. Pray for mom and baby!
Hope it went well!!!
Omgsh I just tried the j breath while taking a poo, and it soooo worked👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯 I'm usually always constipated and that was the best shit I've had without needing lactulose or straining yayyyyy😀😀😃 plus I'm 39 weeks pregnant. Thanks
This video is SO helpful - you explain and demonstrate it so clearly, Bridget. I have just hit the third trimester and really hoping to be able to achieve a natural birth. Thank you for adding these techniques to my toolbox :)
Thank you for this, being induced on Sunday, and worked quite close to my birthing date so couldn't go to any antenatal classes, this is the next best thing :) already 2cm dilated, wish me luck!
the destresser breathing technique definitely got me through labor so thank you so much ! 💕
I’m saving this video and going to use it for reference often through my pregnancy so I’m prepared! This is baby #4 and it’s the first time I’ve ever decided to look up breathing techniques. Thank you
Love all these techniques!!! I used J-breathing in my first birth and struggled with it so I'm trying to really practice this next time around
My son is due in two weeks and I'm scared! I'm going to practice your techniques to try and feel more calm and in control of the pain and fear of the pain! Thank you!
I had my baby this Monday 8/5/19, and I want to thank you so so much! You replied to my comment about me being so nervous about delivering my baby with no medication(two weeks ago), well guess what, I DID IT!😭😭💕💕 all thanks to you and your videos! Especially this one! Again, thank you so much!
AHHH MAMA! This is music to my ears! You are SO amazing and now such a wonderful mother! Sending you SO SO SO much love!
Bridget Teyler Thank you so much!💕
Congratulations on your baby!
I’m proud of you for following birth plan and you are amazing for being able to go through everything with no pain medication.
I will be giving birth in a few months and reading your comment gives me more hope I will be as strong as you, it’s so scary and nerve racking thinking about but I know I can do this!
Poppy Paranormal Yes! You got this! And you can definitely do it! Breathing through the contractions is super important! Just focus on that and try to take your mind somewhere else, somewhere peaceful. Sending you nothing but positive vibes!🙏🏼💕
Poppy Paranormal Also, feel free to watch my labor and delivery vlog :)
Thank you so much for these breathing techniques! I have always been the silent type when it comes to pain, and I've come to realize that reminding myself to breath properly always seems to help! I will definitely put these techniques to use come time in October! :)
Yes! Birth should be an expressive experience! No need to hold back, mama!
This is definitely getting you a new subbie, I’m so nervous at only 5 months but I’m gonna keep watching these so that I’m ready.
Amazing stuff, shared this with my wife and trying it together. Love the way how simply you’ve broken it down.
I went into labour while watching this video. These techniques helped so much. I couldn't believe I gave birth naturally. No pain meds what so ever. Just breathing,, staying active, and a warm shower.
I got on all fours in the shower when I went into labor with my son and it feels amazing
Finaly some one that tell you how to do the breathing techniques. I'm due on friday. And i was so worries i didnt know any breathing techniques
I'm so glad you found this video! I hope you have a beautiful birth, mama!
So thankful I found your channel and this video 💕 I am due any day now and am planning a natural birth. I think the anxiety of not knowing when I’m going into labor is making me more nervous than the actual labor part. Thank you for giving us such helpful info ☺️❤️
I love you Bridget! Thank you so much for all this information for absolutely free of cost. You’re the hero us pregnant women needed. I thank God to have found your channel. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for the tips and especially the breathing techniques. I was able to successfully labor at home doing the breathing, headed to hospital once I felt that the contractions got stronger especially knowing I was already 4cm and 50% effaced. Once I got to hospital I was already 6-7 cm and 100% effaced. I still kept focusing on my breathing and only that. Two hours later with no pain medication/pitocin I had a baby boy naturally. Good luck to everyone especially with this Covid19 pandemic, just focus on the positive and breathing and in no time you will have your baby in chest
Congratulations mommy !
Can I just ask when did you start practicing the breathing techniques? I’m currently 31weeks
@@katlegomokoena8078 yeah of course 😊 Honestly I started practicing the techniques during my last week of my due date. I did them while watching this particular YT video.
Congrats mum..is this your first delivery?
Wow congrats!! I’m trying to do that but it’s so hard
@@snehapundir2949 thank you and no it's not my first delivery. It's my third, I've done it all except cesarean. First was with epidural, second with only acupuncture and this time was with no medication only these breathing techniques 👌
Followed these breathing techniques on my first born (12/31/2019) and it worked so well! Everyone was amazed that I wasn’t crying or screaming during my contractions! Thank you ❤️
I hope i can do this for my first child birth as well especially with a surgical mask on seeing that it's covid time.
your comment gives me HOPE lol. I am on my first baby and am 26 weeks in 🤞🏾
I am currently in the home stretch with my first pregnancy, we're due Jan 13th. Loving your videos and practicing all these methods everyday. I'm hoping for an all natural labor and delivery!
I just went through my fourth delivery but my first non medicated as I had a home birth this time. I watched many of your videos to prepare myself for all of it. Your breathing techniques work! I was able to birth easier, faster, and felt in control of my labor! Thank you so much! I am so grateful I came across your channel
Can’t recommend this video highly enough. I’m a first time mom and literally breathed my way through labour with the help of one shot of pethidine which I don’t even think made much of a difference. The midwife was so impressed and couldn’t believe I used just my breathing to get through a fairly fast and intense labour. My midwife was actually bored because I didn’t need her help. Women’s bodies are made to do incredible things and we just have to trust them.
It’s been a week since I had my baby and I just wanted to say thank you! Your breathing techniques helped me achieve natural birth! ❤️❤️❤️
I just wanted to comment and say I watched each and every single one of your videos throughout my pregnancy with my daughter in 2019. I went into labour with her naturally and had the most beautiful drug & intervention free birth experience I could have wished for ❤️ and I can truly say your words are what got me through every piece of that. Your J breath technique brought my baby into this world. I had the VBAC I had prayed for for so long. Thank you you are amazing keep up the great work xx
@Bridget Tyler I had an amazing birth experience for a first time mom. I followed religiously the breathing techniques and all went smooth. Could not thank you enough for being amazing and for reminding us mommas how strong we are together with our babies. 💖
I’m being induced in 9 days, I’m doing these techniques ! Can’t wait 💗💙
I used these breathing techniques for two births. I did not tear for either and so grateful I found this video! Thanks Bridget!
Thank you so much for making your advice and coaching available online! Your breathing techniques and affirmations helped me get through a Pitocin induction with nothing but 2 extra strength Tylenol. It was intense but we made it and everyone is healthy!
This was really supportive during the my daughters pregnancy in 2019 and I make reference to this video now in helping other mamas. much love and gratitude
Came here to thank you!!! Just had my baby #3 this morning and it took me 3.5 hours from start to end. That's my record!!! Your breathing techniques are AMAZINGLY helpful. With my first 2 kids no one taught me how to breathe correctly, so it took me 8-10 hours and I was in so much pain with them. I recommend these techniques to everyone. Thanks again!!!
Hey Bridget! I just wanted to leave a comment thanking you for your UA-cam channel and all your valuable information! My wife and I watched quite a few of your videos in preparation for her labor, especially the breathing technique ones and they worked amazingly. My wife unexpectedly went into labor during week 37 of her pregnancy (which could have been in part to her doing your birth ball exercises 🤔😂) but I was able to be with her and help coach her with her breathing through out labor because we had watched your videos together!! I even found myself saying “remember what Bridget said about breathing” while mimicking your techniques throughout her process!! 😅🤣 She had a natural birth with extremely minimal tearing and did NOT need an epidural during labor! (This was literally 3 days ago!) While I know everyone’s pregnancy and labor is different, I just wanted to thank you again because the techniques really really worked for us! So even though I’m a “Papa” lol I just wanted to thank you again for your channel and information and would recommend it to anyone reading the comments or wondering if it these techniques actually work!
So nice of you to be there to guide your wife and also to thank this god sent lady that is Bridget! 😇
I had to come back to this video and let you know that because of you and this video, I was able to have the natural, epidural free birth I wanted 3mths ago. I had pitocin and an epidural with my first. I had a reaction to the epidural and long story short, wasn’t able to walk without my leg giving out on me for about 3mths. I didn’t want the possibility of going through that all over again now with a toddler to care for, too. While I was in labor this time around, I literally typed in how to breathe when in labor (lol) and clicked on your video. I watched and did exactly what you instructed the entire time. I went into the hospital breathing as you instructed, blocking out all noise around me and was just focusing. Within 30min of arriving, I delivered. When I was in transition, I wanted to get the epidural but the doctor felt I was doing great and told me to continue breathing as I was. Thank you so much, you are amazing! I will definitely be suggesting your video for any pregnant woman I come across! Xo
Mama, reading this literally makes me tear up. You are amazing for doing what you did! Birth is hard, and you accomplished it so beautifully. I'd love to share this comment at the end of one of my videos if that's okay with you! Sharing stories like this one inspires other mamas to experience the challenge and come out with a victory, just like you!
Bridget Teyler Absolutely you can share! Once again, Thank you so much!
Amazing ...Did you tear?
Props to that dr who believed in you. I feel like the birthing center i went to pushes the epidural on everyone.
This is my second rodeo. I plan to watch your videos again to review breathing/labor coping techniques. My first experience was just wonderful thanks to your helpful videos, and the fact that my son came exactly at 2 weeks unexpectedly and so fast that I had no time to be fearful.
It’s been a year since I gave life to my beautiful baby girl. And I revisited this video to send to my sister who is getting induced today. This video was playing in my head throughout labor. Seriously thank you so much for teaching us 🖤
The destresser breath has helped me with my Braxton Hicks contractions in the middle of the night!! Thanks for the tips.
Wanted to thank you Bridget for all these wonderful videos. I watched all your videos leading up to the birth of my son and it went wonderfully! My water broke spontaneously on April 12, 2021 at 3:30PM and my son was born on April 13th at 8:30AM. I was pain free all the way through and I pushed him out using the "J" breath and making vowel sounds! It was awesome! Thanks again!
This technique really helped me through at least through the first 9-10 hours of my labor ( Had a long labor). So thankful to God that there are people like her to instruct us. I also had less fear because I felt more prepared through her videos.
I just wanted to come back to this video and say it helped me so much during this second birth omg it literally made the pain even more bearable because focusing on the breathing instead of the pain even my nurse told me I was doing a great job breathing and I’m so glad because the first time I felt like I forgot how to breathe because I was so stressed and panicked I just kept hyperventilating this time I conquered the labor and not the other way around so thank you so much!
Got through my induction and had a non-medicated birth thanks to this video! Thank you thank you thank you. It was a beautiful experience.
Thank you so much for your videos! I’m 9 months pregnant with my first child, a boy, and I’m SO nervous about the birth. Usually watching videos to prepare for birth gives me anxiety but you make me feel very calm.
I’m 39 weeks pregnant and by this stage I’ve seen almost all of your videos. I couldn’t be more grateful for all information you’ve given, I keep rewatching your videos and they just bring me such peace of mind! Thank you so much. I highly recommended your channel to all my pregnant friends.
Delivered my 9.5 pounds baby normally without epidural last week....thankyou so so much! Your tips and techniques greatly helped me! It was my fourth baby but this time i felt most empowered and confident! I really appreciate your videos. Thanks once again!
I was induced, but managed to have a natural birth due to this video! I’d like to thank you so much for your tips and videos. They are very helpful and you have a new subscriber!
Thanks Bridget, watching this from hospital during labour. Thanks a ton
I was in labour 2 days ago. And I found this video soo helpful. The breathing really did help make thing's lighter and easier to control. Thank you ❤
Thank you so much Bridget for the breathing techniques.i started labor at 4am but stayed calm and did the destresser breath at home and didn't panic, and continued to do it at the car on the way to the hospital.6am we arrived at the hospital and just continued the destresser breathing.At around 7 am I did the breathing during the transition to resist the urge to bear down,and finally started to push baby out from quarter to 8.Did the J breathing for 20 minutes and at 8:05am am,baby was out! Wow!That was amazing and thanks to you Bridget for your informative videos!
Gave birth 2 weeks ago: natural birth of posterior positioned baby in 5 hours! The destressor breath saved me during labour. Thank you Bridget for this technique! I am so glad I got to experience the accomplishment and joy of a natural birth.
Delivered my son in October at a birthing center, so I used these breathing techniques to help with the pain. This was my third labor but by far the easiest because of your video. Thank you so much! 💗
hey bridget !!
lots & lots of thanks for extremly valuable guidance.
because of your technique i went to hosp at 6pm , got drips & some medications via IV at 6:50 and delivered through normal birth at 7:55 pm !! no epidural & no screams reaching the sky !!!
throughout the erly labor pains which i had since 2 days (30sec pain 30mins apart) ...i ws using destressing breaths...then in hosp i had aaalllll my energy conserved to push th baby out using the same breathing mantra !! i am so thankful to you bridget !
This video helped me deliver my baby naturally! That was not my original plan! I just knew I was going to go for an epidural. I kept doing these exercises through each contraction not realizing I made it to 9cm! Thanks to my husband for sending me this video.
Hey Bridget! I wanted to reach out and thank you for the video. I gave birth last week and was able to labor at home until I was 7cm all thanks to your breathing techniques! By the time I arrived at the hospital, the nurses were shocked (and I was too!) that I made it that far without coming in. I also used your breathing techniques in order to relax more. There was a period of my labor where I stalled for 10 hours and no progress was made. I was an hour away from getting a c-section. During those long, stressful 10 hours I concentrated on my breathing and calming down. A true miracle happened in that last hour that I finally dilated enough and was able to deliver my baby girl the way I wanted. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Hi Bridget, I just wanted to thank you for your videos. They helped me through an unplanned home birth without any medication. It was beautiful and very fast (5h to dilate and 45min push). You're the best!!! Thank you!!!
Yes Bridget the only thing I remembered during labor was to do the DESTRESSER BREATH after every contraction and it really really helped during transition. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO
I came back here to say THANK YOU. This video among many of yours has helped me give birth Naturally without any pain medications AT ALL. Praise God!!
To all mommas who’ll deliver soon, trust me it is possible to have natural birth with just doing the Breathing techniques. Doing it consciously and purposefully made me ride every painful contractions as they come. next thing I know I’m 8cm dilated when we came to the hospital (I had to have my bag of waters ruptured by my OBGYN in the hospital). I’m a FTM I thought I had to wait till my waters broke before I should go.
I was literally watching this video in the labor room to refresh my memory while I waited to reach 10cm and just doing the Destressor breathing technique. BREATHING IS KEY!
Hi Bridget, I googled this and found your video while I was in early labour. My beautiful baby is now 3 weeks old and I have thought of you many times since the birth, wanting to thank you! These breathing techniques helped me so much, I was in active labour for only 90 minutes and I used your breathing techniques the entire time. I needed no pain relief, and didn’t even use gas. I can honestly say my labour was the most beautiful experience and I felt so ‘in control’ using my breath as a tool. Thank you thank you thank you.
Thank you so much for your videos. You were an absolute lifeline during my pregnancy and I used your techniques during labour. Can’t recommend your channel enough!
You just got a new subscriber. I had my son 2 months ago and it was the most scariest thing ever. I went into labour without even knowing any breathing techniques since I missed the classes. However your video saved me and made it so much easier to deal with.
My wife DIANA and I want to express our deepest thank you for this video. It was extremely useful for my wife to successfully go trough labor. We watched this video up to the very last minute of the procedure. Big hugs from Bogotá-Colombia.
You saved my labour experience!! I found this video when I realized I was going into active labour and you literally helped me breathe right and have the nurses applaud my breathing!! Thank you! P.S. baby just born yesterday!!
Just watched this so I can coach my daughter who is currently in labor. Thank you, very helpful.
I watched this video about 2 weeks before going into labor and then the day of actually being in labor. These breathing techniques were a lifesaver!
I watched your video a week before giving birth and on the day I went into labour. Baby was born in the bath at the birthing unit in under 5 minutes last week. I used all your breathing techniques and 'breathed' my baby out. It felt like she was coming out on her own and I just needed to help her along. My first baby I remember making a bit of a noise when pushing that it scared my partner haha. But with this time round as I focused on my breathing, I hardly made a sound at all and I was soooo much calmer. I remember once she came out I looked to my partner and said, "I did it!!!". Not just because I gave birth but because I used your breathing techniques and I couldn't believe I remembered what to do and just how it actually worked! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us mama's xo
This is so amazing! Congratulations, Mama!!
Bridget! I watched this video one day before going into the craziest labour ever. Your breathing technique of counting my inhale and exhale was literally one of the only things that got me through to the end. I have a very low pain tolerance and I couldn't believe it but I got through my whole labour without any pain medication. I actually coped so well that we didnt call our midwives until I was already in transition (and didnt realize it!). Thanks so much for putting this information out here! ❤❤
AHH MAMA! I got goosebumps reading this!! Thank you for sharing your story... You're amazing!
This comment just gave me hope and inspiration 🙌🏽♥️. I’m due in 4 months and somewhat scared but I hope I can do it without medication but then I think about it too much and think I can’t do it... and that’s with having high pain tolerance.
This comment gives me hope and brings tears to my eyes. Im such a baby when it comes to pain, but i know so many moms that did it without meds and i am determined to do it too! I am currently pregnant with my 3rd and had an epidural for the first 2. I think i couldve done it without meds the 2nd time. The epidural scares me and always makes it last longer.
Going to be me tomorrow. Watching this video before I go in to get induced tomorrow morning.
I’m not pregnant but I really appreciate this video! I get pain in my lower abdomen that can shoot up to a 8! It only lasts for 10 minutes at most but I’ve always wanted a way to cope with the sudden pain better and this is an excellent way, thank you :)
Can’t thank you enough Bridget for this amazing video . Really this breathing technique helped me a lot during my labour . I’m glad I came across this video such a life saver.
I had my daughter two years ago and this video is a game changer. Due to controlling my Breaths I was able to give birth unmedicated unlike my first. Rewatching this as a refresher for my third babe due in March! Woohoo
How was it??
Currently 3 cm and been on pitocin, these are getting very intense and I thank you for making this. Going to try to go natural with no drugs 💕
Thank you so much for making this video! I gave birth only a few days ago and I’ve watched this video during my labour (not knowing I was in labour). After my water broke and I started dialating superfast I have used your techniques and they really really helped me through the pain and to keep me focused. I’ve had a natural and medication free childbirth because of this (ok must add I didnt have a lot of choice since I already had 7 cm dialation when I entered the hospital so I probably couldnt have an epidural anyway) But I’ve experienced this as a very positive childbirth in contrast to my first labor what I almost experienced as traumatic. Many Thanks again!!!
These techniques helped me get through my contractions during labor with my baby girl in April 💚💚thank you SO much!! I felt more prepared 💕
i’ve been on the epidural for almost 5 hours and i’m still getting super painful contractions in my stomach and back. gonna try these ! thank you ❤️
39 weeks here, been struggling with rib pain all day and early labor , did a few round of destressing breathing and feel much better! ❤
Doula in training here in the Bay Area and I just happened upon your channel. Thank you so very much. Most informative.
Sat in the bath, finally in early labour now. So grateful for these videos 🙏🏻
I just want to say thank you for this and all of your other videos! My baby boy was born April 11th, ten minutes passed midnight. I was able to successfully go without the epidural using some of your breathing and other techniques. As a first time mom I only labored for 12 hours and pushed for 30. Ended up with a second degree episiotomy but it was all worth it for this little guy. Your videos were so helpful in preparing me to labor without pain medicine. Thank you thank you thank you! Happy Easter!
I have been watching your videos throughout my pregnancy. This was my first baby. With your breathing techniques I managed to have the natural hospital birth I wanted! It was 25 long intense hours of labor after my water broke but i delivered a beautiful healthy baby boy on Dec.28th,2019 💙 thank you so so much for making your videos to help mama's like me! Especially ones that do not have a midwife/doula helping them through. I truly appreciate you!
Thank you so much! You did a good job explaining and sticking to the point. It was very peaceful to listen to and clear. I was able to send it to a friend who is at the hospital getting ready and didn't know about breathing. This is really gonna help her ❤
i'm like nodding my head with everything you're saying. i've been worrying about all the pain i will go through during my delivery, due to choosing non medical natural birth, so its nice to watch you. I will have to put this on while at the hospital haha
I gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby boy on September 4th and your breathing techniques were SOOOO much help 😭 I was at the hospital for 30 hours, 12 in active labor and your breathing techniques helped me cope with the pain for a whole 24 hours unmedicated!
Which technique u used dear ?
I came back to thank you!
I just delivered my second baby and it was a breeze compared to my first. The whole breathing technique made contractions a whole lot easier to bear. My labor progressed significantly faster compared to my first and i did not beg for an epidural this time. I was not induced as well. No tearing! The doctor congratulated me on what she called an almost perfect labor and delivery.
I wish i had seen your video when i delivered my first baby but still i want to say thank you so much!
Hi darling which breathing technique u used please reply
@@fateha2536 the destresser breathing
I am grateful I watched this video. The breathing techniques really saved the day. Thank you so much.
Currently in the beginning of labor! So glad I came across this now!
Thank you SO much for this Bridget! Because of this video, I was able to breath through my labor (6 weeks ago) and had an unmedicated birth. I didn't use anything other than the "destressor" breath and feel like I was incredibly lucky since my total labor was only 8 hours. Pushing time was 20 minutes, so I can't complain, but wish I had started practicing earlier and/or had someone to coach me through transition and pushing!
Keep making videos love! Very helpful
I will! Thank you! And I hope they helpful! Let me know if there are any topics you'd like me to talk about in a video!!
If there was one useful thing I took away from all the information to prepare for labor, this was the most useful! I had a great unmedicated birth and used all three of these techniques throughout the entire process. Thank you so much for this resource!
This website helped me a lot during my delivery. Although I have a csection but it started with the procedure for normal delivery.
Currently in labor!!! Remembered about this video! Watching and breathing wish me luck❤️
How did it go? Hope all is well 😁
I literally watched this video during labor yesterday it helped so much!!! I did it with no epidural 💜
I'm at 25 weeks pregnant now, and so glad I found your channel🥺 It's make me feel so calm about labor now, thanks you❤
