When she said 500 squats a day... I was like ummm this might not be the video for me
Vanessa Sanchez 😂😂😂😂😂
Hahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
hahahah😂😂😂😂
Vanessa Sanchez I see we’re on the same page 😂😂.
It’s not that hard. Do a variety of squats in the mix in like reps of 50-100
Seriously. I did everything right with my first. Yoga and hiking on a daily basis, red raspberry leaf tea, spinning babies exercises, squats, great posture, no sugar, etc. I was obsessed with prepping for a natural labor. But I had a looooong difficult labor and difficult recovery. Seriously there is only so much you can control. So if you have a hard labor or need surgery, don’t beat yourself up. Yes, these things can make labor easier. But they aren’t a control mechanism to make everything turn out ok. Life can throw you some crazy curve balls and sometimes no one is to blame.
And there's a good chance that if you didn't do all of that the process would be even worse
Just thought of sharing my labour experience here.
I was a first time mom and had quite an easy labour.
My early labour phase was around 17 hrs ( I was at home all the time despite the contractions) and my active labour was around 2 hrs plus only.
I went to labour room at 1 pm with os 3 and delivered naturally at 223 pm.
The secret :
1) I refused to believe that labour got to be painful and miserable.I kept visualising easy labour.
2) I meditated and slept well during early phase...I also walked a lot and stayed active. Staying still on bed not gonna help
3) I walked a lot and kept active throughout second and third trimester. Physical fitness is important .If you can't exercise just incorporate more physical activities eg mopping the floor , washing clothes old style, gardening.
4) in the labour room I refused to be supine but was on my sides.
Of course you are what your mind perceive.
The secret is in believing it is going to be easy. Good luck.
I'm keeping these for when I get pregnant in 10 years
Same!!!!
Same here... I'm taking notes, lol
i always save videos for things that arent gonna happen within a decade haha :)
@@lillysmith8091 Same :D
Katelyn same
Here’s the summary. I found this video really helpful. Thank you so much Sarah.
Fitness is key - Stay active throughout the pregnancy (jogging,running and squats)
Labour specific to help open pelvis,hips and during labour are:
1. 500 Squats a week
a. Regular squats (tighten your abs and take time going up and down) with pulse
b. Ballerina plie squats-little more open not too deep (holding your abs)
c. Deep squats (practice)-sit all the way down and roll left to right
2. Focussing on inner leg/thigh and groin
a. Butterfly stretch and lean forward
b. wide-angle seated forward bend
3. Give room for body and help with baby position
a. Avoid slumping/slouching
b. Revolved seated angle pose
c. Cross your legs & elongate your upper body stretch hands up and breathe
4. Long walks (if you can go for jog)
5. Swap your chair with exercise ball-leg far part helps open pelvis
Diet:
6. Eat healthy food avoid sugary/fast food as much as you can. Avoid excess diary.
7. Around 33-35 weeks
a. Start taking Red Raspberry leaf tea one cup a day and slowly increase the dose as you go. Helps ripen cervix with dilation and labour
b. Evening primrose oil from 35 weeks-gel capsules orally.
c. Perennial massage-34 weeks onwards (mix of evening primrose oil with lavender essential oil) or rub on your vagina or put overnight pad soaked with that oil.
8. Taking baths in lavender oil/Epsom salt
9. Hydrate really well
Update: I had breech baby until 35.5 weeks, I was freaking out. Then after good research I did the spinningbabies website exercise advise, baby came into optimal position at 36.5 weeks scan. Then no sign of labour and I was overdue. At 41 weeks they attempted sweep but couldn’t as cervix was soft but no dilation. I continued to bounce on the ball, exercising. Then spontaneous labour started. I had 18 hrs of early labour and 18 hrs of active labour. I had VBAC mid Jan 2020 with episiotomy, I took gas and epidural for the last 8hrs. Hospital staffs were very supportive.
Nabeela Khaleelur Rahman 500 squats a day would make you give birth the same day , it’s 500 squats a week and someone who isn’t as fit as her should not even attempt to do any squats per day ... if you aren’t already fit pregnancy is not the time to start being fit
Nabeela Khaleelur Rahman Thanks for listing them out so clearly! I’m just wondering... I thought we r not supposed to bath during pregnancy? Please kindly advise thx 🙏🏻
Thanks for summarizing the important stuff from the video. So much helpful!!! God bless you both!!!
Please can you write this with the translation in Arabic
I will be very thankful for u 🥺🤝
I’m 18 weeks with my second child and 100% agree with everything you said! I did everything you said and more during my first pregnancy and had an amazing labor and postpartum recovery. My labor was 4.5 hours (all natural) and I only pushed twice before my son was born. I also didn’t tear at all and was back to my pre-pregnancy weight fairly quickly!
The things I would add are consistently sleeping on your left side. Research shows that one of the best positions your baby can be in is facing to the right (it’s back on your left side) which is encouraged by sleeping on the left. ALSO! Going to the chiropractor during the third trimester to make sure that everything stayed aligned and baby has an easy pathway to come out. Finally, eating dates during the third trimester has also been linked to easier births.
I think it’s so interesting how many women are misinformed in thinking that easy labors come from pure luck and if they have a difficult labor that there was nothing they could have done to prevent it! I 100% agree that there ARE many things you can do to up your chances of an easy labor!
Of course so many women are misinformed, because the only information we are actively given (in school, at least) are that it is painful unless your hips are wide, which ich genetic. What exactly did you expect from government curriculum? And yes there is information on the internet, but not everybody searches or if the do, they may be discouraged to trust it, because 'doctors know best and homeopathy (like drinking tea or even recommended exercise) is not officially recommended by the experts'.
Alright I’m done with people saying it’s your fault you had a bad labor. I did everything i could exercise, RR tea, dates, and nothing helped. 43.5 hours first time and now in prodormal labor with second kid. Not my fault my labors are long and not super quick like some women
@@jennadanielescobar4440 There’s a reason why I said “up your chances”. I realize that there are some women who do everything right and still end up with a long and hard labor. But I also think there are many women who don’t prepare at all for their labors and end up with a bad birthing experience who could have *potentially* changed that outcome had they done a few things differently. That’s not to say that anyone who does all these things will for sure have an easy labor. I think it just gives you better chance to.
Your new, blonde hair looks stunning with that lip color! ❤
I’m actually due tomorrow with my first!! We are so anxious to meet her🥰🥰🥰 Pray for a natural and smooth delivery!!
Me too
Susie Q how did it go? I’m 19 and pregnant with my first and I’m so terrified
how was it??
Faith Wilson I had my baby 4 days after her due date!! The labor and delivery was the hardest thing I’ve ever done!!! The first few days after she was born was also very hard. But we are slowly getting into a routine and I am so in love with my baby!! You CAN do it! Don’t be afraid!!
Amanda Dye It was the hardest thing I have ever done!!! But so worth it!
Hi Sarah, I love your channel and your advice on beauty and being a mama is so helpful. I’m not a mama, but I love taking notes for when I am in the future and I also help take care of kids and having a down to earth role model is great. Also your beauty advice is amazing because you like what you like and you’re honest about it. It is so greatly appreciated because a lot of the bigger UA-camrs are sponsored and you show the products you truly love.
I love these
I am 10 weeks and overweight, been struggling with exercises but I did these with you and I feel more encouraged
Currently 35 weeks pregnant with my first and youve motivated me to start stretching and exercising again. Thanks💪 did 50 squats so far 450 to go😆
Gaia Nalan 😂😂😂
Sarah, throw the camera on every time you do your squats during one day! I really want to see which ones you do in your 500 routine! Please please please!
I watched this video at the very beginning of my pregnancy and now I am 32 weeks and came back for those third-trimester tips
Omg I don’t even workout now I can’t imagine working out when I’m pregnant
Start now! Cause girl it only gets harder when your preggers! ❤
I plus size and still worked out a bit daily when not on bed rest. I did my squats by picking one spot in my house that if i passed that spot i did 2 to 4 squats. Those squats add up.
Same😂
Lmaoo same here
Honestly same
I think all these things are great. But I didnt do any prepping at all amd I had super easy labors and healed very quickly. My first labor was 5 hrs long and pushed for 20 minutes. My second was 3 hrs long and I pushed for 51 seconds. I healed completely by week 4 postpartum with both. I think genetics plays a bigger part then we think. All of these things are great to do, but you cant 100% say they will all help everyone the same way I think. No hate at all haha I actually loved this video too.
Damn teach me how..🤣🤣 1st baby, due July... Im so nervous
Same I'm due in August
Me too due in July too!!I'm super scared! Have you girls heard about perineal massage? What do you think of it? Have you done it? Has it helped?
@@elenaep703 I have not heard of that but I'll check it out! I've been getting chiropractic care three times a week and it's definitely been helping my back and pelvis. And congratulations, hope all goes well for you :)
Please i need help I'm getting due on April and it is my first, like I'm so scared
I'm 10 weeks along and everything that you said, physiologically, makes absolute sense. Thanks so much for this video!
I just what to start by saying I love your channel! I'm almost 31 weeks with my first. I have PCOS and after 3 years of fertility drugs and doctor appointments, I took a step back and tried the natural root. I changed my diet, started Belly dancing and yoga, some acupuncteur, and meditation. I was about to lose all hope and try another round of fertility drugs. Before I could start my doctor wanted me to take a pregnancy test, and there after almost 4 years and hundreds of test my first positive! And I totally agree staying active if you can is great, we still hike to our cabin and I still belly dancing!
I so love this new direction your channel is headed in
I'm 19 weeks with my second child. I totally agree on everything that you stated in this video! Especially the squatting- I swear this made my labor easier!
As always, LOVE this advice! I’ve been implementing it since the start of my second trimester and I feel great! Hoping that as I reach 25+ weeks I will continue to be feeling good! ❤️
Brilliant! Thank you, have put your tips in my daily Google calendar, just about 33wks, so here we go with the prep!!
Thank you for this! I'm 21 weeks with my first. I've been active, squatting and just plain old moving since about 7 weeks due to nausea but I will be implementing long walks and the lavender trick as well. I appreciate this tips so much!
So glad you made this video! I’m 15 weeks and really need to get motivated to exercise. With a toddler it’s out in the back burner but you motivate me to prep for labor even more! Thanks Sarah!
I watched this with my first pregnancy almost two years ago... now I’m pregnant again with my second ❤️
This video is perfect! With my son I had to have an emergency c-section( before I saw this video) then with my daughter I got my vbac. I followed everything Sarah said and it worked for me!
Thank you so much 🥰
I can't believe you do so many squats, cant comprehend. I can't wait till I can put these tips to use!
You can start out by doing 100 each day, this is doable by doing 10 sets of 10 squats. Then gradually increase.
Not pregnant...still watching😂😂🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you so much for making this video! I’m around 30 weeks with my first and even though it’s really exciting my pregnancy journey hasn’t gone well. I still have morning sickness now, at 16 weeks I ended up In hospital really unwell with campylobacter for a week, then at 24 weeks I ended up back in hospital and had my appendix removed, and now I’m having major issues with my gallbladder and it’s sounding like it needs to come out after baby comes. Anything that can make labour easier on my body is definitely something I appreciate knowing about and therefore doing. You’re an amazing woman and Mum and I’m so thankful for any video you make ❤️❤️❤️ sending you and your family lots of love from New Zealand xx
I had raspberry leaf tea with both my kids had 2 incredibly fast easy labors - I recommend it to everyone I know.
Drank it while you were in labor or ???
@@kraziemata3145 my midwife okayed it after 14 weeks. You can also do "pregnancy tea" it has red raspberry leaf in it along with other teas.
Where did you get it because I can’t find it anywhere 😩
Anna Davis at target !
@@senoritajacobo1768 how often do you drink it?
This helps a lot, I'm researching more into labor and delivery right now. Im 25 weeks pregnant with baby #1 so I'm super thankful you did this video!
Baby #1, third trimester as of two days ago! This video could not have been timed more perfectly, because I've been looking for ways to "train" my body for labor! Thanks so much, Sarah!
Scrolling UA-cam for hours and finally found your video to the point and very helpful, thank you!
I am 5 and 1/2 weeks with my first! We tried for 9 months and were finally blessed! I love your videos and there are many things you mentioned to help with labor that my mother friends have mentioned! Thank you for your tips! ❤️
Congratulations!! Praying that you, your husband and the baby get through this blessing without problem!
I'm 29 weeks with my first and I'm happy to report that I've done the fitness part (although I could do more...)! Squats and groin/hip stretches have definitely been helping to ease discomfort. I'm trying to be better at the food aspect of things - I'm not eating out all the time, but I could stand to eat less processed/more whole foods.
Currently 33 weeks & definitely thankful for these tips!
I love this!! I haven’t had any kids yet personally, but every single one of my dance teachers danced throughout their entire pregnancy (therefore stretching and staying fit) and they had what sounded like the best labors!!
Really needed to see this i had a difficult first labour and this helps a lot in prep for 2 one thanks a lot and do make these videos they seriously help a lot of people
Hello! I’m 22 weeks pregnant with my 1st! Love your analogy about preparing for a marathon, I never thought about it that way! I better start squatting! 😅
First time mom and I’m about 9-10 weeks! Very excited and have been loving watching your videos
Thank you so much for making this video! My first pregnancy was so high risk I was on boarder line bed rest.. so with this pregnancy I actually get have a fit pregnancy and LOVE the advice about how to get through labor (my girl had to be a planned c section..) This video is so so helpful. And I'm sooo excited to be pregnant at the same time as you 😍 love to you and yours!
I'm 31 weeks and seriously just thought about truly amping up for this marathon. I have worked out throughout this whole 2nd pregnancy but I love the info you gave
I second the ballerina squats...towards the end of my pregnancy I did them but I would alternate putting one leg up onto a seat of a chair and hold it in a deep squat...3 days of doing this and I was at 7cm when I got to the hospital and my labor&delivery was under 3 hours! I never did these things with my first and that labor and delivery was very difficult
HeyitsGina! I totally agree! Ive heard inductions can cause tearing as well as epidurals...i had an epidural with my first and had an episiotomy with a vacuum assisted delivery (sunny side up and stuck) and with my second i had the epidural placed but it didnt take at all (i think they just placed it but didnt administer any meds) and tore worse (she came out so fast and was WAY bigger than my first). Recovery with my first was TERRIBLE but the second time around i didnt even feel like I gave birth! I think the second time goes smoother in most cases!
Being induced hurts a lot too! My body was ready (10cm dilation) for my daughter 3 hrs after I got to the hospital but she wasn’t moving (she was asleep). I think they got impatient and just wanted me out of l&d so after 13 hours they tore my amniotic sac and gave me pitocin in my iv. After 32 hours my daughter finally came but I had to be rushed to the OR after about an hour because my placenta wouldn’t detach and I was losing too much blood. It turned out that the placenta got attached over my Fallopian tube’s hole in my uterus and it was fused with the tissue there. The delivery went quick once my daughter dropped low enough and started making progress but I felt rushed to have her.
hi, how far along were you?
I’m 33 weeks and when I did that deep squat I was like “woahhhh wow maybe I should wait to do those” 😂 I felt open alright
Excited to be back around to this video, because I’m 31 weeks now and really need to buckle down on prepping for labor and delivery !
I’m 23 weeks with #2! I just bought a yoga ball a couple weeks ago & my goal is to squat 100x’s a day! Gotta get this bod prepping for labor! Thanks for all the helpful info 💜
💜💜💜💜 I LOVE THIS. I'm 4 months pregnant with my first baby and I'm super excited! I seriously love you so much! I've followed you since before your babies and it makes me so happy that we're going through a pregnancy at the same time 😭💜
My son is almost 7 months old, and I’m missing being pregnant and watching your pregnancy updates and seeing your bump in pictures is making me miss it more! We’re very similar in build, and I had a similar “shape” if you will with my pregnancy and miss it so much. My husband and I are trying to wait until our son is a little older for personal reasons, but “baby fever” is kicking in for sure! Love your channel; you’re inspiring and lovely to follow!
I love all your videos! I find them very up uplifting and inspiring. 😊
This was everything I needed 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Great tips! 30 weeks along with our first and I’ve been implementing some of these, but need to do more squats and distant drinking RRLT!
I had a 30 minute labor with my 3rd! The only difference was i worked out 5 days a week the entire pregnancy, that was doing HIIT at least 3 days a week and strength training 5 days a week. Also did lots a pelvic tilts and hip stretches. I ended up having an accidental home birth, but it was such an easy birth! I’d do it again a thousand times over.
Accidental home birth... I should probably read about it as well, I work out as intense on both cardio and stretch. I was actually wondering if you can overdo in a good way and have it happening too quickly :-))
B. It was my 2nd vaginal delivery though. First was a csection.
Sarah! I love you and your videos! Im no where near having a kid but I’m bookmarking this for when i do! I can’t wait to have kids one day and i hope I’m a loving, God centered mom like you!
I'm a several weeks behind you and I love your videos 🖤
Thank you for the tips :) Also nice information on the squats.
27 weeks along thank you for the advice!
I’ve honestly watched this video SO MANY TIMES! I’m on my third pregnancy and due any day now for a second vbac. All your labor videos are so helpful. Thank you!
Im 31 weeks pregnant. And im doing the ballerina squats since 24 weeks. Hoping that it would make my labor be easy. Thank you for your video!
Lots of good tips...wish I knew these when I had my kids!
Hi Sarah!! Great video 😊 Thanks for all this practical advice!
I’m almost 32 weeks pregnant with my third baby, and I completely agree with all your tips! One other tip I’d add would be doing pelvic rocks, that really encourages baby to get into the right face down position which makes labor, and delivery so much easier! I didn’t know about this in my first pregnancy, and had a very tough labor, and delivery because my son was face up. In my second pregnancy I did this, along with many of the other things you suggested in this video, and it mad all the difference in my labor, and delivery of my daughter. What’s even more interesting is that she was almost a pound heavier than my son! I had the nurse weigh her three times because I didn’t believe she was actually 8lbs3oz.
That lip colour is stunning on you Sarah!
Thank you for these!!!! Wish this video was up when I had my first. Didn’t do a whole lot of “prepping” for labor because I didn’t fully understand it. Made notes. Doing these things!! Gonna try to work up to 500 squats but we’ll see how far I get. 😜 29.3wks
This helped me, I had a 4 hour 1/2 labor... subscribed! :)
I'm due Dec 22nd with my second earth side baby (God willing). One the Lord to early. But these are such great tips! Love these pregnancy, motherhood videos!
I’m the perfect example of genetics working against you!! I did literally all of these things to have an easier natural labor since I opted for pain medicine free. To give some perspective, I am 5’1 about 120-125, and my husband is 6’4 260+ and his head still looks pretty large for his body. My daughter was born with an almost 14 INCH HEAD! So no matter what I did to prepare, she got stuck in my birth canal and her heart rate dropped so I was rushed into an emergency c-section. The doctors had to push her back up into my cervix to get her out of the incision. The delivery doctor looked at me afterwards and said “this is a first for me. The largest part of her body passed your cervix. You’re the first person I’ve ever met who’s had a vaginal and c-section birth on the same baby!” I was being stitched up on the table so I wasn’t too thrilled to hear that at that moment, but now that I’ve healed it’s kinda neat
Lexi Titus that’s brutal. But not surprising considering the massive height difference. Biology didn’t intend for people of such huge height differences to “mate” hahah
Glad you survived that!! And congrats !
So the baby WASN'T actually stuck?
38cm or 15 inch head on my kid. Delivered vaginally after 51 hours. Ow.
@@missweezer503 my second kid, my son, had a 15.5 inch head!
I'm nowhere near getting pregnant, but I love your videos so much so I had to watch! Lol
I'm 33 weeks with my 1st! Definitely gonna try some of these to prevent taring. Thank you for sharing!!
This is my first pregnancy and you inspired me so much. I learned so much as well. I’m 6 months along so better late then never 😅. I’m surprised this doesn’t have ore views but definitely sticking around and subscribing ❤️
Uh love that lip colour with your blonde hair 😍 so so pretty
36 weeks pregnant 🤰🏻 and planning on getting the tea tomorrow and will start the squats routine too ❤️
Oh my goodness, so much great information and tips!! I wish you still had all your old pregnancy videos so I could watch and learn as much as possible. I love your views and perspectives and as a new mom to be I really want to try to have baby by faith and naturally and do all the preparation that could help. Would you consider making some more videos with pregnancy, labor, and Mommy tips or doing a series? 😊 I'm 10 weeks but want to get a head start on as much as possible.
The blonde suits you so well!! Love it!
I’m so glad I came across this video. I’m prepping my body pre pregnancy
You have to be so careful when taking advice from others it may work for them but not for you! I have pelvic gurdile pain and can't stretch beyond a certain point. Always listen to your body! Great video but adapt it to your needs.
That’s a lot of squats lol I’ll work on that! I’m an expecting mama for the first time! Only about 5 weeks super excited! Thanks for the knowledge!
Girl I am TTC and absorbing this video lol love your mamma stuff
My first pregnancy, I'm 27 weeks and this was a very helpful video!! Thanks for all the great tips!
Great tips! I am 38 weeks and I walk, jog, eat well and drink TONS of water. Hoping for a smooth delivery. Baby is head down, cervix has softened a bit but I'm still closed. Dr says baby is in a good spot. I have done the squats but not really focused on them. This is my first baby and with all the tips I have been getting from other mommy's I will definitely use it when we decide to have our second child. Thanks for the tips!
In at 37+3 today and have been doing most of these things & thankful I have as I’ve felt pretty good through out apart from tiredness in first and last trimester. Even then im not really napping through the day. Haven’t had any major issues yet and hoping for a smooth labour but who knows! Will be picking up the essential oils and primrose oil tabs tomorrow to see if they help in anyway. Fingers crossed! Great vid
500 SQUATS?!?!
Weird and Weirdur2024. Its not hard. I never counted my daily squats but i made a rule any time i walked past the stairs i would do 2 to 4 squats. When i was admitted at 41 weeks to be indused without pitosin (wasnt making that mistake again pitosin is evil) i did a lot of laps around the ward at the hospital and at opposite ends of the ward i would do 2 squats. One of the nurses counted my laps and did the math i did approximately 100 laps ×4 squats = 400 squats while in early labor. I also did light yoga with the aid of my doula. My early labor was painless after my water was broke i went from 7cm to complete in 45min so the worst of my labor and delivery was only about 2 hours. Btw im not a small woman i was 230lb during that pregnancy but i kept active the more you move while pregnant the easier labor is.
I had to take an aerobics class in college and our teacher LOVED squats! There were days we would come to class and she would be so chipper and chime off "we're going to do a thousand squats today!" Sometimes they were in fun routines so it wasn't as noticeable. Other days we'd play "musical squat ups." We'd get in a circle with yoga balls and squat up from sitting on the yoga balls, played to music like musical chairs. Except when you got out you just took a ball and continued doing squats outside the circle. 😐 first class of the day on a campus with a LOT of stairs. My booty was poppin though.
If you exercise regularly before and during pregnancy, 500 is nothing really. But I guess it makes you feel how unfit you are if you can't do even half unless you are sick all along
OK, these comments under tours are so prideful. It's as though people think if they have a good labor, they have figured it all out... Lol..
5 babies here... Despite being basically in the same shape, they are all vastly different. How you carry the baby, where the baby attaches or is positioned, if you are also carrying around a toddler, etc all play a role in a normal pregnancy. Just because a person may have a hard time doing squats does not mean they are just unfit. They very well can be, but you can't compare your one or two pregnancy journey against all others when there are so many factors to consider...
@@thesaintmustwalkalone708 this is true and i was told by my obgyn not to do squats. What position of the baby helps? Tell me more please☺ with my first I pushed for 3 hours and had an episiotomy im so scared that's gonna happen this time
Oh Sarah thank you very much ! :) I was sooo scared of labor (even though I am not pregnant yet) but you are talking about it with such joy that I literally can't wait to push my baby out :D I am sending loooove to you and your family ! :)
I’ll do the stretches but she’s tripping with the 500 a day squats 😅
I’m 34 weeks with my first pregnancy. I love all your tips, my only exercise have been walking, but would definitely try the squats
I'd love to see a "what I eat in a day" video. Love you!
I’m 27 weeks! Thank you so much for the tips! 🤗 I really hope I have an easy labor. The doctor said baby boy is already big at 77th percentile. I was 103lb pre-preg, now I’m at 145 and have 3 more months to go!
Lots of great tips Sarah! I’m 25 weeks along with my 4th baby, and my 1st girl! Very excited!!!!
I LOVE YOUR MAMA VIDEOS!! I’m trying to conceive!
Awesome tips!!! You touched on all the things I'm worried about😱😱😱😱😱
Loving this video! Thank you so much! I am currently in my second trimester with my first pregnancy and this is excellent advice!
Love this so much, thank you Sarah....💜love from South Africa
I wish I had found your video at the beginning of my pregnancy. Im currently 37 weeks and my hospital doesn't have a whole lot of resources for healthy exercise and natural remedies for an easier birth. Im still going to start doing some of your recommendations even though baby girl will be coming any day now. Thanks for the video! Oh and this is baby #1 for me so this video will come in handy when we try for baby #2 😄
So how did it go ??
this was so reassuring! i do all of this already! I definitely think women lowkey should be training for labor :) I’m 25 weeks but this was so helpful
I also highly recommend arming yourself with the knowledge of c-sections as well as mentally and emotionally prepping yourself just in case. I prepped my body for natural labor and ended up needing an urgent c-section; while I had looked into c-sections, I didn't prep for one emotionally. My son is almost a month old now and is our little miracle
Just watched your “leaving” video...I wanted to affirm and let you know I love this kind of video. Just rebrand your current channel because you’ve worked so hard to build it! People who don’t like it will leave, but you’ll gain new followers and keep most current ones 😊
I'm 16 weeks with my 5th child, and you are a big help, I tore twice with my first two pregnancies, And with my last two I had a retained placenta, postpartum hemorrhaged had to have 4 blood transfusions and 1 D&C ,no one could explain why this happened. So For this last Delivery I want it To go Smoothly With no problems.Gratitude for this info it really helped me 👍🏽You have a new subbie😊
Ive just started watching this channel in the last months.. And I would have never guessed it started as a beauty channel.
Thanks so much, this is super helpful!
Just had a Vbac and I totally think these tips helped!! There’s different perspectives about red raspberry tea from a few of the providers at my OB office one said no because it might put me at higher risk for another c section, that it might give me contractions. The other said she’s not for it or against it because there’s not enough research so she’d leave it up to me. So I decided to only drink a cup of tea at the end of my third trimester. In the last month I did attempt to do the 500 squats I listened to my body and would do 200-300, would eat 3 dates a day with smoothies. I did have a tear, maybe because I did not do the primrose or my size, I’m 5’0 exactly. The drs and nurses did say a 2nd degree tear is pretty common. This video along with hypnobirthing meditation and of course God, made my labor experience go much smoother than my first.
Thank you for sharing, this is sooo helpful I’m on 32 weeks
I didn’t work out or go for walks as I was soooo lazy. Basically slept a lot. But I started drinking RLT at 32 weeks and inserting evening primrose oil starting 34weeks! My labour was 2hours and 5min pushing!!! I do think the tea and EPO helped with that along with squats during every contraction, I couldn’t stay laying down when they came (the only time I had energy during my pregnancy was labour). So I would defs say drink the tea and the primrose oil inserted helps speed up labour
Hi, wanted to ask how much RLT you drank every day and how much EPO you used. Thanks.
That’s good to hear! I was soo sick first trimester and was in bed for 4-6 weeks, trying to just sleep first trimester away.. Now that I feel better, I’m too tired and lazy to go out for walks. I have been starting to clean and organize the house, so that’s at least some exercise…? Definitely plan on starting squats at least.
