EARLY LABOR Movements | MOVEMENT Brings IMPROVEMENT When You’re Having A Baby!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 มิ.ย. 2024
- Movement during labor is essential! EARLY LABOR is the first of the phases of labor. You should be using the proper movements and positions for labor to help avoid medical interventions, cope with labor contractions, and keep labor going once true labor has been established. Before active labor, you want to balance out rest with activity and in this video you learn movements for labor like curb walking, pelvic tilts, cat cow stretch, moving with your birth partner, and using a birth ball for labor. When you’re having a baby, these movement/positions help keep the normal and natural labor flow going. Throughout all the stages of labor- early, bridging, active labor, transition, or giving birth, movement brings improvement!

After watching this video few hours later I have my baby girl in my arms. I was on contractions while watching the video and went for a walk, come back had a shower and the active labor started. Rush to the hospital less than an 1 hours the baby came. Allhamulillah Allhamulillah Allhamulillah
Alhamdulilah sister iam 38 weeks please make dua for me❤
Hey Moms! I watched almost all her videos 5 months ago and gave birth to my first baby! The breathing ones are so good! I was able to be in labor for 18 hours and skip the epidural all together! You got this mamas! The one advice that stuck in my head was you were built for this! The more you can relax the easier it will be 🤍
😢😢😢😢 love you hear this first time mama and I really don’t want epidural will continue to watch her breathing exercises 🙏🏾 thank you!
I instinctively paced out my active labor pains. I honestly didn’t know I was in pre-labor. I knew I had my bloody show, but didn’t think much of it. I nested all day like crazy the following day (the day before I woke up with active labor). Had a smooth, fast, unmedicated, wonderful first birthing experience. :)
Congratulations!
Congratulations 🥳 ❤️
I’m a pacer as well 😂
Great!what did you did..what excercises o movements? Share :)
31 weeks first baby! Praying for safe delivery and recovery of all women 2023 also congratulations on becoming a mommy 🥹❤️
I’m 38 weeks and 4 days and I binge watch your videos. You’ve helped me through this process and I’m forever grateful. Thank you for your videos 😍
Perfect timing! I'm 37 weeks today and found this so helpful! 💛😊
Thank you for all your videos! They helped me SO MUCH during labor and the meditations were awesome! My daughter came at 35+1 on September 22, I was able to advocate the birth I wanted very confidently, I was able to move as my body and I achieved my UNMEDICATED BIRTH of my rainbow baby! I went from a 4 to a 7 in 30 minutes and then I stood up and starting swaying I very quickly went from a 7 to pushing in LESS THAN 3 minutes!! Again I cannot thank you enough Bridget!! 💜🌈 Wishing all you mamas an amazing and smooth birth!! YOU CAN DO THIS MAMAS!!
Go mama!! I’m being induced in about 3 weeks 🥰
@@Nique1920 if you haven’t had your baby yet, good luck with your labor. I hope everything goes smoothly and well for you and baby! If you already had baby, good luck on your 4th trimester. I hope you get plenty of time to rest and recuperate as well as enjoy the magical time with a new-born.
@@rawrnkitty thank you!! I’m being induced on Wednesday 🥰
@@Nique1920 awesome, almost time! My due date is on Friday so maybe we’ll both have our babies very soon 😀 again, good luck 🧡
@@rawrnkitty yes! Good luck to you as well lol we will have to check back on here once our babies arrive
38 weeks pregnant FTM !! So excited and have been watching all these videos haha!! Good luck to all you mommas 🤍🤍🤍
Thank you SO much for posting these videos, Bridget. I am a first time mama at 32 weeks pregnant to a baby girl! I really can use all the helpful info I can get and these videos are just super helpful for both pregnancy AND post partum. Thank you mama 💕!
38 weeks and 2 days today with my first . Hope for a healthy and easy labor and birthing for me and for everyone that is pregnant 🥰
Dear Bridget!
Just a few days ago, I welcomed a second baby 🍼 I had a quick, unmedicated, empowering labor, and a VBAC!!! The hospital staff that worked with us was amazed how fast and smooth it went. I've been very anxious about my labor, since the first one was rather traumatic, and I was going for a VBAC that carries some risks.
Watching many of your videos (on breathing techniques, exercise, VBAC, meditations, less painful labor, letting go of fear) is what really empowered me and made me believe I can do it!!!
Your meditations and breathing techniques is what led me through my early and active labor and the most powerful surges! When the baby was ready to come out, I was thinking of the RING ON FIRE 🔥🤣 and the next thing I knew was the weight and warmth of my baby on my chest.
THANK YOU! You are making an amazing difference for so many women. Much love and hugs!
I am already watching your postpartum and baby videos. You are an angel! Thank you!
Yay! Congrats! I’m working towards a VBAC with my second baby comin in July. Excited to put these techniques to work
Love how you point out the importance of being somewhere you can relax! Exactly why we are doing a home birth :)
38 weeks turning 39 this Thursday 😍 baby coming soon and I’m glad I subscribed to get info and feel more confident and calm before the big day 🥰❤️
Tomorrow will be week 41 and the timing for this was just perfect, great video!
Started getting early signs of labor starting today so this is just perfectly timed 🙌
It's my third pregnancy and second time I watch your videos and they helped me in my former delivery. Thank you
39 weeks preggo and soo ready to have this baby. Thanks this is helpful and informative without being overwhelming
39 weeks 5 days today, your videos have been really helpful 😍
When I was in early labor I couldn't lay down or sit. Kneeling over a birth ball or my bed helped a little, but pacing helped the most. Thankfully my labor stages were relatively short. And I got an epidural as planned once my contractions were intense enough for me to be satisfied with the experience of them.
i LOVE your videos. thank you so much for sharing this for free!!!
38 weeks pregnant, soon to be 39. Been watching so many videos. Hoping for a beautiful labor like ive read many mamas have!
Hiw did it go mamma?
This was a great video. "Movement brings improvement" - currently 39w6d and will be 40wks tomorrow.. greatful for time i get to watch more videos to prepare myself ❤❤
It's really so true about movement. With my second, I stayed mostly in bed (home birth). Partly because I went into active labor at 11 PM, and started off trying to rest. But the contractions were so intense I couldn't do anything else (he was OP, and hands and knees didn't help). After pushing for nearly 2 hours, my midwife suggested pushing over the toilet. I found that position just awful, and got in the shower instead. That's where my son was born! I think getting up and changing positions just gave us the push we needed (pun not intended, but always appreciated lol)
I wanted to thank you for being so knowledgeable. I really enjoy your videos 🤍
Love this thank you! 27 weeks with baby #2.
This information is so helpful knowing how to change positions and make the labor go more smoothly! Thanks so much for sharing!
I’m 38 weeks pregnant today with my first baby (I’m having a girl 👼🏽). Your videos have helped me so much. I can’t thank you enough. I’ll forever be a subscriber. Much Love!! 🙏🏽💖🌺
Aww, yay! I'm almost 39 weeks with my first baby! I've been trying to binge watch these videos!
@@elizabethcarroll8526 Awesome! Congratulations to you!! I’ve been doing the same lol! Wishing you the safest and happiest delivery. 🥰🥳🙏🏽💜🌺💖✨
@@earthtoaura528hz congratulations to you, too 😊😊😊 I hope you have a smooth and wonderful delivery, too!!!!!
38 weeks tomorrow! Thank you!!!!
Perfect timing for this video! Due in 2 days!
These Braxton hicks are wild 😅 your videos are sooooo helpful!!!!! It makes me a little more confident going into the big day. 37 weeks and 3 days today!
Thank u so much Bridget for your informative videos...it has helped build the confidence in me..
38 weeks and waiting for baby to come out 🙏 hoping for safe and fast normal delivery
Love this!! incredible tips and info. Thank you
@bridget I wish you lived in Virginia area ❤️ your videos give me so much comfort. I’m 33 weeks pregnant, first time mommy God Willing, thank you for your optimism. ❤️
Love all your videos! So informative and helpful! Thank you for making it easier for us, new moms, to survive this confusing period 🙌🏻🥰
You are such an inspiration! Thank you
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for all your videos. 🙏🏻
I spent all this time watching your videos preparing for labor and then when it finally started for both of my babies I ended up skipping early labor and having precipitous births lol. With my first (3hr labor) it was most helpful just to know that the moment when you think "I can't do this" is usually in the home stretch and it's probably the worst you're gonna feel. With my second (45 min labor) I just needed to know it was go time and to call my midwife (and then wake up my husband, in that order hahaha) and that was about all I had time for before I was pushing out a baby in my living room 😅
You’re so pretty and I love how the angles of the camera change now. Looks very professional
❤ very useful, perfectly organized step-by-step information.
I was in labor for 5 days with my last baby. I slept on an exercise ball leaning over a soft topped chair, or in an office chair. I had pain when surfing laying down, but these positions removed/decreases my pain
Thanks for this...am currently 36 weeks
37 weeks and the closer I get to his due date the more nervous I get. But this video was very informative and helpful ❤😊
I’m 40 weeks and hoping for easy and smooth delivery 😍😍Thanks for your video !
Good luck to you mama!!
Absolutely love your channel. You are so knowledgeable and I feel very empowered after watching!
Thanks you for all the content, very much appreciated 🙏 😊
What are your thoughts on a membrane sweep? My due date is today and my doctor recommended it tomorrow. I'm scared it'll either break my wate or jump start something my body might not be ready for?
I'm going to be giving birth in the next 3-5 weeks! So so timely!
Wish you’d been around when I had my kids in the 70’s!
40 weeks today, getting mentally ready
In 2018 I had to be induced earlier at 31 weeks due to pre-eclampsia. I was not allowed to get up out of bed for ANYTHING. It was honestly a very very long and hard labor but thankfully my son was born and although small he was able to come home after 6 weeks in NICU. I really wished they would have let me get up and walk around, I feel like things would have moved a lot quicker
41+5
This channel rocks
Dearest Bridget,
There is something so truely lovely and warm about you. I can feel you are a wholesome, nurturing and beautiful soul.
I adore your pregnancy meditations and this video has been wonderful too.
Thank you so much and may Buddha bless you xxx
I’ll be 33 weeks in 3 days! Still have about 7 more weeks to go. Seems like so far but so close. Planning to also go with a hypnobirth. Just can’t wait to hold my baby girl Ella Marie already 👼🏼❤️
Very good
I’m 39 weeks today and planning to give birth at a birth center! All of your videos have helped me so much so far! I got your hypnobirthing tracks and I’m hoping to have a relaxing natural birth. Thank you for all the amazing info you give to women!! 🥰🥰
Wow, I’m exactly one week behind you-I’m 38 weeks today. Congratulations! Wishing you a safe, relaxing, and healthy natural delivery! 🥰🥳🙏🏽✨
@@earthtoaura528hz congrats!! 🎊 wishing you the same as well 🥰
Congrats mama 🌿 God Bless, your labor & delivery will be great !
@@Allthingsbirth245 Thank you so much! 🙏🏽🌺💜💖✨
Ahh I’m exactly 38 weeks today too!!
31 weeks with baby #3 today, a baby boy after two beautiful girls💝💝💙 Currently preparing my mind and body for another natural, unmedicated birth- eating dates and drinking raspberry leaf tea daily, exercising, practicing laboring movements/positions and breathing/relaxation techniques, etc. You can never be too prepared! Thank you for sharing your L&D wisdom with us mamas sweet Bridget! We are so grateful for your help during this memorable and magical time in our lives. God bless and best of luck to all you beautiful mamas. May all your labors be positive, empowering experiences xoxo❤
I am waiting for my labour... Almost 39 weeks now
Thank you for these ideas. Have you had any experience with the popular inflatable birth stool? Trying to figure out if I should invest in one before my baby arrives. 💕
I'm 41 weeks and 3 days pregnant and in what I really hope is early labor. This video came at the perfect time!
41+5! Good luck chica!
I hope everything went well for you! 👶🏼
41+1 hope all is well 🙏
I was having contractions 2 minutes apart and I still didnt believe I was in labour.
Gave birth to my 3rd daughter Oct 9 with out epidural for the first time ever. I cannot thank you enough for your videos! It was the fastest labor ever , painful for 5minutes that's it! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi thats so good to hear. Can I ask whats the year gap between your second and third labours? I am currently preg with my third and quite scaree 😕
@@j.c1525 6 years apart. I was so scared but it's all in the mind , you get your mind to be strong and it'll let the body do what's it gotta do. I learned a lot my 3rd pregnancy that I wish I knew before but it was the best labor Ive ever experienced. The last 5minutes were the worse I was screaming but she came out with out me pushing and that's it no pain after. You got this , your body is meant to do this ☺️
I'm due October 9th this year :)
This is perfect timing! I think I’m in the beginning stages of labor, and I’m over due. These videos have been a huge help to me!
Me too!
You're never overdue. Just the perfect Nature timing. ❤️🙏✨
please do a video follow through labor workout, which mean a workout I do while I am in labor pain. This is my first pregnancy I have a lot of concerns
37 weeks. Getting induced at 39 weeks if I don’t go into labor sooner. Hoping to use movement to help reduce induction interventions
Comment for support!🎉
I kid you not my mother just told me this today, after talking about my birth plan. Her experience is from having 6 kids and helping other women through their birth. She's my doula
Do you have suggestions to help manage light headedness from hypotension and pain to help mamas move during labor?
35 weeks here❤❤❤❤
Pls make video on relactating after 6 month
What size birth ball do you recommend?
I am 36 weeks with my second as of this past Saturday. I am only hoping I don’t go into labor while at work. >.>
Hi! What would early labor be?
I laid down ONCE during labour cuz I was tired, the contraction that occured during my rest was SOOO painful and didnt feel right at all. Didnt lie down for the remainder of the labour.
Im going through this right now! Trying to catch some sleep last night was so hard
38W today & cramps galore lol… suppose to be induced the 14th of this month but I dunno if I’ll make it. So thankful for all these videos you have 🥰
Good luck! I'm almost 39 weeks and I had the cramps really badly all last week, but they aren't as bad now? No idea why!
I’m also 39 weeks and scheduled to be induced on the 14th! Good luck mamas 💕
@@sfviolin good luck!! I'm scheduled to be induced on the 12th!
I'm 38 weeks too! I feel so scared, I literally watch this kind of videos all day, I pray to have an easy birth..it's my first :(((
@@elizabethcarroll8526 thank you!!
Do you suggest the same thing for a vbac?
Can rocking from side to side while sitting & bouncing on your ball do the same as curb or stair walking??
Currently pregnant with my third child, and I'm still nervous thinking about giving birth.
I am now 34 weeks pregnant
When are these exercises encouraged?
Do you do this exercises before or after your water breaks?
Can you do movements without ball. I dnt have option of ball in my hospital
Is it good to do those ball movements when you're 23 weeks pregnant or is it too early??
Can the pelvic tilts be done while on hands and knees? So hard to do on tge ball like that, because of my huuge belly it feels like I'm suffocating. 37 weeks
Is there any way opening tail bone on ball ...got no ball
When does cervix start to open?
So when is it time to go to the hospital?
You’re like the Pretty, wholesome, non problematic version of just pearly things 🤣
How to know if it is early early labour or active labour?
I am 6 month pregnant
39 weeks pregnant now and hoping for unmedicated vbac, trying to learn as much as I can for it to go well!
I wonder how many babies you have? And how was your labour?
38 w and 2 days, with 4 th baby. I had ok, past experiences, but im always willing to learn more tips. :)
I would definitely least like to try this time to have the baby on a different position than pushing in bed.
I would also hooe this time I wont have back pain during the contractions...althow i dont think im the one who can control that. Those are really painful.
Also hoping for a faster labor all together...from 22, 12 to 7 hrs with the first 3.
Indeed I had a different unexpected birth experience this time. My water broke at 39 w and 2 days while getting ready to go to a 🎓. ( They always broke my water before during labor) So water broke at 5 pm Thursday no contractions, so I decided to go back home after only a talk checkup.I was hoping contractions will start by midnight or so.Was not the case. So the next day 7 am decided to go to the hospital anyway. They still would not check me to avoid any infection. Around 10 am they gave me a pill to dilate. Around noon they did a checkup and I was dilated 5 on the outside and only to 1'on the inside. I was told they will start me on pitocin ) the lowest dose which was not needed to be increased ); around 2:30 pm contractions started to have a pattern but not intense at all. . After 1 hr of pitocin they became intense. So from 3:30pm - 6pm I dilated to 10 when I felt the need to push. And my prince came out in 10-15 minutes.
Looking back, I'm wondering if I should've let them put me on Pitocin the minute I first went in after my water broke....but I was too afraid and wanted it to happen on its own.Since I heard many stories where once they been put on Pitocin, the baby's heart rate would be stressed and would end up in a C-section.
All in all, it seems like my body was not ready to have the baby even if the water broke. I needed intervention like Pitocin to have me started.
Regardless of your baby's birth experience, you will get to hold your soft baby in your arms very soon :)
For a mom how would she have the baby
Love your videos! I’m curious if you have any insights into what to do when your water brakes and labor never starts. I was 37 weeks when it happened. Waited 30 hours after my waters broke and then my midwife admitted me to the hospital to get induced.
Mbbaaaaax.
‘Sgu
@@kaytiepeneha4145 hum what!? Is this the right spelling. I have no idea what this is and google doesn’t either. Full sentence please I’m an older millennial. I don’t get internet lingo.
I had almost the exact same scenario. I had to be induced as well. Though I did manage to forgo an epidural, it was BRUTAL
Is there a way to do these exercises without the ball? I don’t have one
My parenting class midwife said curbwalking is an absolute no, that you could damage yourself and your pelvic bone
Can I start those movement in 31weeks?
My wife is 38 weeks pregnant it’s our 1st and I’m losing my mind ...
Great info! But maybe slow down a bit! It’s hard to note take cuz you speak so quickly with so much amazing info! 😅 thank you so much for making these videos ❤
Watch the videos on 0.75 speed. Or.. rewind :)
