I unknowingly did all this in early labor, that deep squat i did a alot and didn't know i was helping my baby out(4th) it was just relieving in that position I ended up in the bathroom on the toilet b/c i thought i needed to poop 😅 and started pushing her on my knees in the bathroom lol Had her at home b/c birth was mega faster then all my other births!! Unknowingly did all this, just went with how my body was leading me to be most comfortable
I love this for you! I didn't even realize I was going into labor. Thought I just had to poop! Had my first born at home too in the bath tub. At that point it was decided I could not make it to the hospital but he turned out very healthy and happy. Now I'm bout to give birth again in 9 days. This time I actually plan on having her at home lol
@@lydiafaith3382any tips you have for having a baby at home? I feel like I’m not going to make it to the hospital this time so I want to be prepared. I’m 37 weeks and have been going through prodromal labor for a couple of days now. I was 3cm, 50% effaced, and baby’s head was low about 5 days ago.
@betterusnow I didn't have a midwife. My partnered delivered for me. I knee it was time for the baby cone after having severe contractions. I'm 116lbs and. My baby was probably around 6 lbs when she was born. But tbh we didn't have any sort of medical supplies. When I felt the contractions I ran warm water. Make sure that water stays warm! And make sure that when that baby comes out of the water make sure he or she doesn't go back in. U wanna make sure that bath tub is full to at least your stomach area
With my first pregnancy, my doc had me pushing baby out when baby was -3 (in a position where the inlet was closed). no wonder it took forever and ended up with c-section. Definitely trying these as I’m pregnant again and truly want a vbac!
35 weeks currently with my first! A lot of these things feel so intuitive for me but it’s immensely helpful to understand the Why and Science behind it. It definitely makes me feel empowered and confident! ❤ gracias 🙏🏽
This is great info! Thank you 🙏 I’m also sad that my hospital has never taught this information. They really should include training on this rather than the self explanatory training modules they send out.
I’m so grateful for your content and voice in this space! I’ve been learning so much about the birthing process even though I don’t yet have a child and there’s not a lot of diverse voices in this space, so your channel is such a breath of fresh air, not to mention is sound and medically supported advise!!! Thank you!
me and my boyfriend just recently found out we are pregnant with our first baby and im so excited im looking up every information i can find and this has helped me out alot thankyou
@@awerkingmamaThankyou so much for the offer it's really nice of you and I apologize for the late reply but i actually sadly loss my baby to a miscarriage back in august.... but im doing alright trying to work on mysef rightnow a better my health and hope to try again in the future 😣❤
Great advice! I labored fine with baby #3 with no epidural, then I was put on my back to push. That’s when the pain skyrocketed. I will be using these tips this go around with baby #4.
@@awerkingmama Baby 4 Arrived 1/14/2024. There was a 10yr gap between my last kid. I was nervous with this labor because I’m 39 now. I watched so many of your videos. This labor I delivered squatting with toes pointed in, I saw in one of your videos, helped open the pelvis and reduced my discomfort! Thank you for making these wonderful videos!
Question: about how many times a day do you recommend doing these positions? I’m currently 38 wks and 5 days and I’m 2cm dilated but my baby is not engaged according to my midwife.
Pregnant with my third baby and I've had very traumatic births first baby was on my back legs up didn't help me at all they cut my private parts to get her out and pulled her head second was emergency c section I pray to God I can have a natural water birth mu anxiety is so high the midwives in the UK are terrible and never listen are very rude hopefully I can give birth my way and feel safe thank you for your content I'm learning so much ❤
I am so glad you are here! I have so much information to help you achieve your dream birth, let's get rid of the trauma! How far along are you? Are you looking for more support during your birth?
I was telling the drs I don't want to be flat on my back. They ignored me as I'm in pain and put me flat on my back while I was trying so hard to go on my side.
Your doing such good job 👍👍👍 for me its to late 😉 had both my babys with c section. My 1st didn't come down in the canal. I was fully dialated. I had to stay kn my back with this strip/ band ? On my belly to monitor the baby. After 24 hours of labor i was exhausted. 😢 So after pushing for like a long time i gave in. It really didn't work. And they did a c section. A doula is great i think. My midwife eas not allowed in the hospital to stay with me. That gave me so much stress! It wasnt planned to labor in hospital. Nowadays doula's are more normal and i hope allowed in most hospitals. They are a cery good vocal cord especially ehen your husband is not so talkative ..
Thank you. Please at which week of pregnancy is birthing ball good for use in pregnancy? Can it ever be too early? If used in exercising in early pregnancy, can it possibly cause cervical incompetence?
I noticed during my 1st pregnancy sitting on the toilet helped a lot but I was so traumatized I got off and did alot of other things. Word of advice, learn to get to the point quicker and stay in track with the video. It took a lot to even watch and know what the point of the video was and what I was looking for
Is there a modification that can be done to the deep squat for women who have SPD? I’m trying to get my baby to move further down so I can dilate more and hopefully go into labor but I’m so limited in my movements. I’m also worried about how limited I will be during early/active labor as well and it’s so frustrating because I don’t want to long hard labor or to end up with a C-section!
I have REALLY bad SPD as well, im 34 weeks and can barely get out of bed in the morning without my husband helping me. I personally cannot spend 100$ a week on a chiropractor 😅… As for the squat, I would definitely recommend working with a yoga ball!! Yoga ball is our best friend 👍🏻
Had my 20 week scan yesterday and the baby was already engaged in my pelvis. The sonographer encouraged baby out by tipping me backwards on the bed. Should I be worried that baby was already there and should she have left the baby there? Worried that baby was there for good reason and now won't go back in naturally
Hey, you’re halfway there! Baby is going to be moving a lot before the big day, so I wouldn’t worry if they came up. It is a very good sign that he/she is engaging early on! I would just practice all the positions that are good for pregnancy/pre-labor. You’ve got this!
Deep squats have not been good for my hemorrhoids 🫤 38wks, no sign of contractions. I saw high % of first time moms give birth at 40-41 wks. My OB already mentioned induction a couple times which I don’t feel comfortable with. It seems one intervention leads to the next. Birthing should flow naturally for most women.
I am 39 weeks + 3 days, baby is at a -2 station still I was wondering how long and how often I should do this daily until I go into labor to help encourage her to descend more!?
I wish I could labor on the toilet. 😭 My contractions hurt WAY worse when I sit on the toilet. I legit cannot handle contractions while sitting there. I have to wait till after a contraction and then hurry to pee before the next one starts. 😫 I WILL try the squatting and the side lying, tho
Hi could you please make a video on gbs positive and related topics nor generally covered on google ! Such as water birth with gbs positive, fast labour with gbs positive, when to go into hospital etc.
@letilove1225 gbs means group b strep, it's a bacteria that may be in a woman's vagina. when you're pregnant it's protocol to swab for it, the concern is that the baby might get infection from it

Did u succeed???
Hey just out of interest, did you feel the need to push at that stage? I'm due in 3 weeks :)

“We” ahahah “you” are pregnant and “we are expecting a baby” is the correct way to say that it is tje baby you share

@@nicolegreen2815 Yes! Thank tge Lord❤
Didnt back labor increases pain.!
How long was this labor?
Congrats!!
@@crystalanderson7560 Birthing center
Is there a way for me to know(without being checked) when I should switch from inlet positions to outlet positions?
I absolutely love you! THANK YOU SO MUCH for blowing apart these unhealthy and unhelpful birthing myths!!!
Question: about how many times a day do you recommend doing these positions? I’m currently 38 wks and 5 days and I’m 2cm dilated but my baby is not engaged according to my midwife.
how did it go? was your birth everything you thought it would be?

Attempting VBAC, this was helpful
You got this!!
I was telling the drs I don't want to be flat on my back. They ignored me as I'm in pain and put me flat on my back while I was trying so hard to go on my side.
I’ve learned so much watching your videos
So that’s why it feels like things are opening up. I’m side lying positing with my knees separated every night.

Thank you for your kind words! It is an honor to work with so many mamas and help educate them for their dream birth!
your channel is underrated! ❤ from Birmingham.
Wow, thank you!
Agreed!! We LOVE Chanel🫶🏽
How do you know when baby is moving stations?
I have an entire series about this on the channel. Go to the playlists!
Saving… hope to use this in 10 weeks.
Very informative
It is so helpful 🩷 thank you 🙏🏻
Glad it was helpful mama!
What if doctor said she can feel baby’s head during a cervical check, but didn’t tell me what station baby is at?
Thank you. Please at which week of pregnancy is birthing ball good for use in pregnancy? Can it ever be too early? If used in exercising in early pregnancy, can it possibly cause cervical incompetence?
You can sit on the birth ball all throughout your pregnancy! Much better than sitting on a cushy couch!
this was soo helpful! thank you!
Wish the camera is placed away farther to show the entire position especially when lying down.
I noticed during my 1st pregnancy sitting on the toilet helped a lot but I was so traumatized I got off and did alot of other things. Word of advice, learn to get to the point quicker and stay in track with the video. It took a lot to even watch and know what the point of the video was and what I was looking for
Came across this video i want to try hands and knees with my first pregnancy should the bed be completely flat or pushed slightly up
It can go either way. Either have the bed flat and use your hands on have the head of the bed up and rest your head and arms on the top of the bed.
How many months do we need to start that??
Thank you this was so great 🫶🏽
Where is the outlet video plse?
Hi I can't find the video to show how to open the mid and bottom pelvis
Would these early labor positions also help me at 36 weeks & breech?
Yes!
Am 38 weeks and baby is still breech
Hi how do you know that baby has passed the negative station and has moved to the positive
subcribed ! Super informative videos. Im trying for vba2c
Thank you for being here!!!! I am so proud of you for trying for a VBA2C! When is your due date?
It will be May
Did you have a successful vbac2 ?@@kocicakocica

Is there a modification that can be done to the deep squat for women who have SPD?

I’m also worried about how limited I will be during early/active labor as well and it’s so frustrating because I don’t want to long hard labor or to end up with a C-section!
If you’re dealing with SPD, I would start with seeing a chiropractor and pelvic floor therapist. I had it and it’s not fun at all.
I have REALLY bad SPD as well, im 34 weeks and can barely get out of bed in the morning without my husband helping me.
I personally cannot spend 100$ a week on a chiropractor 😅…

Can the wide squats help if you start at 30weeks?
Yes they can!
I would be scared the baby would fall inside the toilet
I am 39 weeks + 3 days, baby is at a -2 station still I was wondering how long and how often I should do this daily until I go into labor to help encourage her to descend more!?
You can do these movements daily. Baby will engage when they are ready :)
Does station mean like how many cm you’re dilated??

Hi could you please make a video on gbs positive and related topics nor generally covered on google ! Such as water birth with gbs positive, fast labour with gbs positive, when to go into hospital etc.
These are topics I cover in depth in my Werk Your Birth Program! Are you currently expecting?
I have the same question too. Did you deliver safe in home
What is gbs positive ?
@letilove1225 gbs means group b strep, it's a bacteria that may be in a woman's vagina.
when you're pregnant it's protocol to swab for it, the concern is that the baby might get infection from it
In my country they dont gice you a choice... u have to push on your back
this is so not right, I am sorry
Due in 3 days 😟😟🤱🤱
How did it go?
Ok
You talk so much 😅
Thankssss :)
It’s an informational video? Kinda the point 🤣
Loveeeeee the information! Thank you so much🫶🏻 Attempting VBAC, been a little anxious at my 27 weeks so I’m educating myself to release all that🙏🏼
