WOW, Natalie T! I was wondering how everything went and if you were holding your baby yet. Congratulations! I am so glad that the classes were a help to you. YAY!! This made my day.

Very good video, with some excellent practical advice. I am watching as I am going to be my daughter’s birthing partner. This will help me to assist her if she so wishes. Thank you for these incredible tips. I feel sure they will help her tremendously. She is just over 39 weeks, and she is hoping the baby will come sooner, rather than later. As everyone who has gone through this, knows, at this stage of the pregnancy, you just want the baby out!
@@birthtoolbox Thank you for your prompt reply. It’s definitely a case of, ‘it’s taking forever’. Her feet are swollen and she is extremely uncomfortable. She’s had enough, but he seems to be quite happy to stay where he is, at the moment. She has told him, she’s giving him an eviction notice, and he needs to move to larger premises, but he has decided to become a squatter, and is taking not the blindest bit of notice! 🙈🤣
New from Saudi Arabia 27 weeks. I have had a successful vbac last time I gave birth and hopefully this time I will have a second vbac. Thanks for the great content!
Thank for visiting! Here’s a video on water birth Is Water Birth Better? (Pros and Cons) ua-cam.com/video/f2OOuimRq_w/v-deo.html And here’s one for building a positive mindset in the second trimester, I bet you’ll like that one too ua-cam.com/video/si_sqUULBrY/v-deo.htmlsi=JNz80QwjIVHqHUw_
Are you able to take a childbirth class? Education can really help you reduce the fear around birth. I have one you can purchase at birthtoolbox.com/ondemandclass .
Doing my homework.... although I've already watched half of these videos... I will rewatch for the sake of homework! I've been attending but realized I wasn't actually registered.. so now I am lol
I don't have a handout on the positions, but I do highly recommend this $14 parent workbook that has great pictures of positions and more! birthtoolbox.com/workbook
That's my goal! I really want to present practical solutions. For pushing with an epidural it depends on how much control you have over your legs. Sidelying should be an option no matter what. If you have control over your legs you can do pushing on your knees while leaning over the back of the bed and hands and knees.
It's great that you are educating yourself on ways to deal with labor! I'm glad you are here at this channel. I know you'll find a lot of great information.
I don't have a handout, but I do recommend a great workbook! I use it in my class and recommend that everyone takes it to labor. birthtoolbox.com/workbook
I'm gonna try doing some of these positions but the main thing is will I be able to do these when actual labour comes... What if i forgot everything because of the pain?
I so wish that when the Creator blesses me with getting this far along in pregnancy that I could have a home birth. I’m on Medical assistance/ Medicaid and haha that is not covered. Lol. But that is my dream. I want to be and feel as free as possible. I just pray if I am given the chance to labor(ultimately birth) that wherever I am I will be able to use many different positions. Like, say if I have to have an epidural (which I would prefer to have an all natural) If the case involves an epidural I just pray that I will have a few options and not just The ONE option of on my back with legs in stirrups or anything similar to that.
I am guessing you didn’t get to see all of the positions. Standing, sitting on the toilet, hands and knees….these do not require flexibility. And the moms I showed were all different. I demonstrated two if the poses and am a not a hot gym rat. 🤷🏻♀️
Alice!! I had my baby this past Friday!! Your live classes helped me immensely. Thank you so much for everything you've done 💖

Thank you a lot for this channel and your wisdom. I still do not get how I delivered laying on a back. This position technically counterproductive
Thank you for watching and for your kind words! I agree that laying on your back can be so much harder.

Is there a printable handout somewhere of all the positions?
I don't have a handout on the positions, but I do highly recommend this $14 parent workbook that has great pictures of positions and more! birthtoolbox.com/workbook
All great positions! Thank you!!
Thank you! It was a fun video to put together and hopefully will get people moving in labor.
I do hands and knees on my yoga mat with depends for my final push.
First few i reverse sit on the toilet to use it like a birth stool. Works well!
Love that! Great techniques!
Alice, I love your direct, practical, informed approach! What positions are acceptable for the pushing phase of labor if you have an epidural?
That's my goal! I really want to present practical solutions. For pushing with an epidural it depends on how much control you have over your legs. Sidelying should be an option no matter what. If you have control over your legs you can do pushing on your knees while leaning over the back of the bed and hands and knees.

I didn't know the captain Morgan! Can sitting on the bed in a cross-legged position is good for labor? Thanks
Great question. I prefer sitting with soles of feet together!

What if your in the captain Morgan pose and the head is half way put, would you still be able to switch to the other side?
Yes!
