I’ve learned from my first pregnancy that it’s useless to worry, and to enjoy your pregnancy. I’ve had positive experiences and I try to enjoy being pregnant. Change your mindset to a positive one and control what you can, everything will be okay. Trust in God if you can’t be strong enough
My 1st labor was three days of laboring at home, painful contractions to get to 5 cm to be able to be admitted to labor and delivery, but once I was admited and got my epidural it went quick, I went from 5 to 6 by the time it took me to get up to a room, and then I slept a few hours and woke up ready to push at 9, pushed for 30 minutes and he was born.
I'm really hoping with my 2nd, I can get to 5cm faster and not be at home and miserable for days on end. hoping for a quicker time next time.
Are the sex of your babies different
Did you feel any different in your pregnancy?
I had a traumatic birth with my first (40-50hrs) and I’m terrified about doing it again. I’m really hoping it’s quicker.
Me too 😢
How far along are you?
My first I was in labor for 25/26 hrs was pushing for a little more than 3 hrs. Pregnancy with bby #2 7 years later lol hope my body didn’t forget my first birth cause I need this to go by fast this time..

@@tjsmelser7130 aww what a blessing I’m 21 weeks I was hoping for smby to be close to delivering I need an update 😂 hopefully our births go fast I was also a little traumatized from my first birth.. may god let this be nice and easy pregnancy as well as labor and delivery cause we deserve it🙏☺️
My second baby came in 4 hours so we thought it might be a good idea to induce #3 to make sure I was there in time. Ended up being a good plan since I went from 3cm and no noticeable contractions to baby in my arms in 15 minutes! Had I gone into labor at home, she probably would have arrived on my kitchen floor!
I was induced with my first and I hope this is what it’s like with my second haha 😅. Congrats!!!🤍
I had my son in 3 1/2 hrs so I’m so nervous about how fast this baby is gonna come out! 😂
I had my first son in an hour and he came in the car so I'm planning a home birth for this one
How in the world!? That's amazing. Was it better to have such a short labor? I would think, but I might be biased since mine was 23 hours and just *miserable.* 😂
@@zzevonplant Honestly the 4 hours one was just right - the 15 minute one was really scary. Maybe still better than 23 hours, but 15 mins isn't enough mentally to be ready to push a baby out
I laboured for just under 4 hours with my first, pushing for 3 hours 🙃 hoping this time around the pushing is a lot easier!!
I did tons of PT after my first pregnancy, and have continued during this pregnancy. I think the increased core strength has actually caused me to show a lot later in this pregnancy. Also really hoping for less pushing! 2 hours last time which had to end in an episiotomy.
Pt? Personal training?
That is physical therapy @@caribbean9829
@@caribbean9829Physical therapy.
I had Hyperemesis Gravidarum both pregnancies but this second one is much worse and rely on 2 oral meds and a zophran pump. This second pregnancy I am soo much more sore in my pelvis. I'm really hoping the labor and delivery with this one is shorter. The first pregnancy I had horrible back labor.
How was it?!
I’m pregnant with my second and my first baby the labor was only 3 1/2 hrs total from my water breaking to him coming out so I’m SO nervous 🥹🥹😂
My first was the same. Waters broke around 2am, our daughter was born at 5:40am that same morning. I pushed for like 5 minutes. Pregnant with the 2nd and I’m scared I’m going to be the minority whose 2nd labour is longer
I had Hyperemesis (HG) with my first and just found out were expecting our second. I'm excited but terrified. There's so little research about how likely it is to recur.
Sending good energy and prayers 🤍 God will be with you every step of the way.
@@cecilia6165 almost 7 weeks and so far so good! The prayers are so appreciated! 💗💗💗
May God bless you
How’s your pregnancy going now? I am in the same boat
How did it go?? I had it too and I’m 4 weeks pregnant and super nervous
50hr of active labor (yes that long) but only 30 mins of pushing with my first. pregnant with my second now really hoping for a MUCH quicker labor
Did it go quicker? (Looks like you posted this comment a year ago.) I'm pregnant with my 2nd and I had a 48 hr labor.
@@diannea.7386 yes! early labor started around 5pm and she was born at 3:59am but because I prepared SO much beforehand this time with breathing techniques and just mentally having no fear I didn't realize I was in active labor until it was almost time to push. my husband called my doula and midwife around 2am they arrived around 3am and she was born just before 4am. I didn't even know I was in transition and pushed even less than 30 mins. maybe like 10 mins? so it was much shorter.
wanna know the only bad news? 😬 I had prodromal labor every night and some during the day for 6 days before that. it was sooo exhausting and I never knew if or when it would turn into true labor so that was wild. hopefully that doesn't happen to you though. that was the ONE thing I wasn't mentally prepared for but it really helped speed up the actual labor I think and made me mentally stronger weirdly enough. having multiple nights of intense contractions lasting all night made real labor a breeze (other than making knowing when to call the birth team kinda confusing lol)
@@diannea.7386 cool. TH-cam deleted my entire long reply. that's nice. yes it went much faster! but I had prodromal labor for 6 days before 😖
YT is troll.
Labor for 6 days before!!! You poor woman!! I'll pray that isn't the case for me. Thank you for replying!! 🥰🥰
@@diannea.7386 I don't think it's super common but still normal. was kinda hell though figuring out if it was gonna turn into the real deal every night haha when I finally called the midwife and doula, they were only at my house for about an hour before pushing. I didn't even know I was in transition and thought I called them too early because I thought my contractions slowed when they arrived. (maybe a slight rest period is a sign of transition? I'm not sure) either way it was very good this time! I'm sure yours will be as well. good luck!
Ok wat if I didn’t push my first and she came out flying 😂
In labor for 17.5 hours with my first(from when we got to the hospital) and pushed for 1hr 45min. Stubborn kiddo!
So I am curious how this second labor & delivery will go!
I went from 1cm to 10cm in a span of 3hrs and I only pushed twice before my daughter was born. 😅 I am pretty scared at how things might go the second time around. She was a tiny little thing at just 5.6 lbs so maybe if I have a bigger baby things will be different.
So curious about my 2nd labor. My first was about 6.5 hrs.
And?
Hi Dr Marta,
Thank you for offering your educational information here. I am in the third trimester of my second pregnancy. I have placenta previa. I watched these videos of yours quite a few times, very informative. Could I please ask you a question, if I can still have a natrual birth can I have induction and epidural booked and start at the same time? Some people say I have to wait until I am 4cm dilated, I'm not sure why?
I am so scared last night I do a PT and turn out I was pregnant again. I told my husband and I wanted to cry. I am on my 9th month postpartum. Can I still breastfeed my child when my 2nd baby comes? And what are the other risks of close pregnany?
I would look into tandem nursing.
My first was induced and I only pushed 3 times, it was so fast they were shocked.
So with my first birth my waters broke at around 10-10.30pm and didnt feel any pain untill 12am and then born at 2.43am… i am now pregnant again … will it be the same again?
My first pregnancy I threw up all three trimesters this pregnancy I’m nauseous but haven’t vomited
Same!!!
I just found out I’m pregnant with my second and hoping my experience will be similar. I lost 20lbs during the first trimester of my first pregnancy. I was miserable
@travie786 congratulations!!! My first pregnancy I couldn't get out of bed and threw up everyday. This time around I'm 8 weeks and haven't thrown up once. I'm still a bit off certain foods though. Good luck 👍🏼
@@catsforever3999 thanks so much. And congratulations to you as well.

What is the sex of baby?
I'm curious to know the difference
During periods had unprotected sexual intercourse can a girl getting pregnant
Yes, you can. Sperm can survive in the vagina for up to 5 days. If you ovulate earlier you can definitely still get pregnant. I ovulate day 9 and my periods are 5 days long so I can definitely can pregnant while still on my period
No. Pregnancy can only occur when you are fertile. On periods thats not the case so chances of conceiving are close to zero
@@nehamumtaz7999umm u can definitely get pregnant from having sex while your on your period, the chances are extremely low but it can happen...
Conception requires the meeting of sperm with an egg. Once the ovary releases an egg, the egg lives for only between 12 and 24 hours. The sperm can live for about 3 days.
The typical menstrual cycle is 28 days. Day 1 is the start of your period. Ovulation usually occurs around day 14 (but it could be around days 12, 13, or 14).
Ovulation is when the ovary releases an egg for fertilization. If sperm is available in the uterus, pregnancy can occur.
Ovulation can vary based on your cycle. Some people have a longer cycle of around 35 days between periods. Ovulation would then happen around day 21. Those with a shorter cycle of 21 days ovulate around day 7.
Is there any information about length of labor if you ultimately had a failed induction and C section? Expect 2nd labor to progress more like a 1st?
It depends how far your body reached in labor, how many centimeters dilated. More advanced stage in labor might mean a faster labor next time but a C-section early in labor usually the body resembles a first time labor next time.
Thank you! So appreciative for all the excellent resources and information you provide!
