Ive always wanted to be a trauma nurse but after getting pregnant, watching a million of your videos, and giving birth to my little one I now want to be a labor and delivery nurse to help other mamas. You are my goal.
I went into labor like 3 hours after watching part one. As soon as I got to the room I asked for a peanut ball. It was amazing even not seeing part 2. My labor progressed to 9 cm within 3 hours. Unfortunately I still had to have a c section but the peanut ball got us there way faster. In the end I still got my perfect angel. Thank you Sarah for all you do!
@@humanbeing3946 My pelvis is too small. I suspect if I tried another position it could have worked eventually but in the end we had to do what was right for the baby.
I’m a L&D nurse and this video was SO HELPFUL! I felt it in my soul when you said, “they don’t teach nurses this.” Yes ma’am. 🙌🏼 I LOVE the peanut balls but I only have a few go to positions with them. I can’t wait to start using these! 😊👏🏼
My husband watched the peanut ball series while I was in labor on Friday and helped me move around after my epidural and I went from 6cm to a baby in 2 hours 😭 thank you for these videos
I was in labor 3 weeks ago watching your videos to see if i was in real labor 😂 Love your videos they are always insightful and upbeat! I pushed for 10 minutes and my baby was here 🥰
Very helpful to me as a new L&D Nurse! None of the nurses I work with have shown any different positioning other than just the basic peanut ball between the knees. They don’t even discuss different sized peanut balls. I didn’t know they existed or that we had anything other than the yellow (small one) in our department.
Omg I can’t wait to have my baby in July I’ve taken so many notes on a lot of videos so I have so many options if one doesn’t work what else to do.. thank you so much!!!
True story... I was watching this. I dont have a peanut ball, but did the 1st position with a very thick big pillow in between my legs...and fell asleep! I must've been very relaxed lol
Thank you for this! ❤ 😊 going to use my 2 new peanut balls in labor. I got the chirp brand from Amazon it came with a smaller black one and a large mint colored one. I'm 1 inch shorter than you but I don't have long legs Like you lol so ima have to take both and figure out what one will work with my legs in labor. Thank you for the pillow tip.
Hey Sarah.. this is Soumya ... you are putting some great show with so much simplicity. I’m not expecting at the moment but want to know how much does it really pain during labor. As in the end all my friends ended up having a C-Section. I see some videos where many ladies did it so wonderfully without crying in pain but some do push a lot harder that it becomes visible on their face. Could you put a video per your real experience , how does it like for new moms???? Love 💓
Sarah! Thank you for these videos! I am 37 weeks and am wondering if you have any insight on red raspberry leaf tea, midwives brew and other things to naturally induce labor. I know you just did that one about dates with your sister and I loved it! My midwife said theres lots of good stuff in dates and told me to go ahead and do so if I pleased. Just wondering about the other things you hear about!
Great video Sara!! Lol would’ve loved to use these positions but I had my baby super fast this time so didn’t really get to do anything like this. I was 8 centimeters when I ended up going to the hospital so I’m so excited to say she was born around 2 hours later lol so I ended up going to the hospital just in time! Went overdue again but I got my second vbac!:)
just a human being This time I gave birth at 40 weeks and 2 days, but my first birth I gave birth at 42 weeks it ended up a csection and my second was a vbac at 40 weeks and 4 days so I’m getting closer to my due date every time:)
Stay active during pregnancy and calm during labor. Meaning don't wear yourself out and get rest while you can. Thats what my midwife told me and it made sens
Do you have further discount code for the peanut ball this black friday? i am due on 1/4/2023, i just looked at the prices of all the peanuts ball, it's still kinda expensive with 10% off. Is there a chance you can provide deeper discount this year?
Just rewatched this and noticed you said you shouldn't be upright for more than 30-40 minutes as it may cause cervical swelling. Is this just active labour or just when pushing or all the time? How does it work with water births when the woman can't lie down at all? Thanks xx
I told my doctor I didn’t want to push on my back and my OB said he’s not able to grab or catch a baby in another position and bc I’m a type 1 dm, he kept saying if the shoulders are stuck or the baby is in distress it takes too much time to have me turn and lay down again and I might squish baby . He said I can labor in any position I wanted though . I felt so frustrated though bc I do not want to push the baby out on my back I wanted to bc on my knees but after watching this I assumed side lying can be a good option for me too though?
During my first labor, I got an epidural and the nurse set me up on a peanut ball. She had a set position sequence that seemed to be rotating my pelvis in a specific way. She rotated me every 30 minutes or so. By the last position I was complete and ready to push. Any idea what that sequence could be?? I haven’t been able to find it anywhere. Last time I was at L&D they didn’t know and couldn’t find their peanut ball position chart.
I'm a student midwife in Australia. Almost graduated and registered. Can you please help me. If baby is asynclytic. Can you please provide an example of the head position and which way to scew the body to help? I'm just trying to visualise the help I can give (super keen learner here).
@@sarahlavonne Thank you! Is there some positions that are not safe to do in this situation but safe otherwise with water ball intact? The monitoring showed the baby is well inside the uterus though.
Me too!!!! Two more months until I meet my baby girl! Are you having a natural birth or c-section? I’m so afraid of the pain of giving birth. I wish I was not, but I’m so afraid. I’m afraid I won’t handle the pain because I have a very low pain tolerance. I have called an ambulance twice because of menstrual cramps. 😥
Juliana Fotin 💯 all natural. I’m looking at the good of the outcome when I deal with the pain. I’m getting a baby out of this which will be so worth it in the end 💖. I’ve been watching all of Sarah’s videos to keep my nerves down and help me be prepared.
MexyQueen 25 all natural! 😍 if one manages it, it is definitely the best way to give birth. You are so right, every second of the pain thinking: one second less to meet the love of my life.

Congratulations for your perfect angel! Just wonder, would you mind share what was the complication that eventually led to c-section?

At how many weeks you gave birth?

New subscriber...sarah do you have any info on twin deliveries would love to see a video on that 😍😍👌🏾 well!...binge watching
A peanut ball moved me from 5cm to 9cm in 2 hours!
Would we use these same positions without an epidural or is it better to stay up/do more movement?
Stay active during pregnancy and calm during labor. Meaning don't wear yourself out and get rest while you can. Thats what my midwife told me and it made sens
After 32 hours of labor (no epidural), the flying cowgirl is the only thing that brought down my asynclitic baby. Saved me from a c-section!
What’s better a birth ball or peanut ?
Are these positions safe to do when you have an epidural?
Do you have a video on labor positions for unmedicated birth that use gravity/movement?
My coping with labor class!
Hi Sarah, I'm 32 weeks. Should I start using a regular birth ball now and a peanut ball while I'm at home once I start getting contractions?
Do you have further discount code for the peanut ball this black friday? i am due on 1/4/2023, i just looked at the prices of all the peanuts ball, it's still kinda expensive with 10% off. Is there a chance you can provide deeper discount this year?

How long you stay in each position?
I told my doctor I didn’t want to push on my back and my OB said he’s not able to grab or catch a baby in another position and bc I’m a type 1 dm, he kept saying if the shoulders are stuck or the baby is in distress it takes too much time to have me turn and lay down again and I might squish baby . He said I can labor in any position I wanted though . I felt so frustrated though bc I do not want to push the baby out on my back I wanted to bc on my knees but after watching this I assumed side lying can be a good option for me too though?
I got myself a peanut ball!
How do you know if the baby is twisted? Is it because labour has slowed? If you don't know, do you just keep switching positions?
During my first labor, I got an epidural and the nurse set me up on a peanut ball. She had a set position sequence that seemed to be rotating my pelvis in a specific way. She rotated me every 30 minutes or so. By the last position I was complete and ready to push. Any idea what that sequence could be?? I haven’t been able to find it anywhere.

I actually have a class for you!!!
Come to my physiologic birth class I'll give you all the tips!
Can you still do these positions if water already broke but no contraction?
Totally!
@@sarahlavonne Thank you! Is there some positions that are not safe to do in this situation but safe otherwise with water ball intact? The monitoring showed the baby is well inside the uterus though.
2 more months till I meet my little girl 💖
Congratulations! Hope everything goes well for you.
