FTM here. Just gave birth yesterday. Had to come here to thank you for this video…!!! I had heard of different types of breathing but I had not understood it until I saw this video! I just saw it couple of weeks ago. After my birth center birth I was ecstatic when my midwife told me I had 0 tears!! All because of using these techniques. Thank you SO SO much.
Thank you so much for your content! This video & the one on the positions to open your pelvis was a birth changer for me! I just delivered a healthy, 7lb baby naturally, at home, at 44 weeks and 4 days. I soaked up so much information and practiced these techniques in the weeks that we patiently waited for our baby to come forth. Thank you and continue to educate families. We need it!
I can't believe I am just now seeing this! Mama you are amazing!!! Thank you for being here and soaking in the knowledge. God bless you and your family!
@abundantlybeyoutiful9993 wow how were you able to go 4 weeks post without being pressured by providers to be induced? They don’t even like when ppl go past 40 weeks! I was told the placenta gets old after 41-42 weeks and risks for still birth comes into affect. I’m curious how did you manage your pregnancy safely going past 41 weeks
So funny you are using bowl movements as example because this is exactly what I have been trying and wondering if this is similar. Thank you so much for this video, you have a way of explaining things that makes sense. I’m currently 36 weeks and trying those breathing and relaxation, I’m ready
When my son was crowning I said very quietly "ow, ow , ow , ow , ow " in the same way you panted. It was perfect, slowed things down and it was smooth sailing on the next contraction.
It was wild. After laboring 16 hours at home (unsure when to go the hospital) My water broke like the movies!! All at once. Then my body started trying to push him out. Barely made to the hospital. And he was out in 3 pushes 🙌🏾❤️. I followed all your advice in the videos. In the dark, following the motions based on what stage I perceived he was in, the j breath…but they made me push on my back and I believe that caused me to tear 🥺 However I feel extremely empowered. I labored naturally like a pro and it was my first! You are the Queen of this birthing stuff ❤
What’s the KEY to getting DEEP breaths in? I’ve done hypobirthing, spinning babies, all the things over the years and this will be my third birth, but only being able to inhale each time a little bit during my contractions is my struggle. Due again in April.
It’s all about practicing this in pregnancy and also learning how to keep your body relaxed so that you can take deep breaths in. Counting is helpful too.
Do breathing techniques help if you have back labor? With my son, the pain was all in my back and it seemed like about the only thing that helped was hands-and-knees positions and counterpressure. (My son was anterior and all--there was not a way to get the labor pains to change.) I had followed the Hypnobabies self-study religiously but could not use the tools effectively while dealing with the back pain and didn't have a lot else I could do for myself. Kind of seems like breathing might lessen belly pain but not so much back pain, but that's just me imagining things.
I had back labour too - no matter how much I tried to focus on breathing all I could let out was scream-grunts (imagine the exorcist) through each contraction due to the unimaginable pain. It literally felt like my back bones were being violently crushed and my entire body was completely consumed. On the plus side, the crowning and pushing pain that everyone talks about being so bad .. I didn't even notice it haha, it genuinely felt like nothing in comparison. As such, I very slowly and easily pushed out my baby. Everytime I felt too much 'stretch' I stopped actively pushing and breathed, I did that instinctively. No tearing at all ! So I do believe slow/controlled pushing is key. I was also on hand and knees.
Pregnant with my 4th daughter right now. Im always watching to see what i can do better. With my 3rd i thought i had it figured out but the pain numbs to the point where i cant think straight, and just want the baby out and im no longer thinking about whats happening. Ive never torn ever though. Help me Holy Ghost

You can do it!
39wks and love practicing moo breathe on the toilet to poop, it really helps 😂
yasssss!!!
It really does help while on toilet. Especially when pregnant and with the constipation 🙌🏽🙈

Yesss I love this! Good job mama!
TMI but I definitely practice this using the bathroom and it works. 25 weeks and getting ready now!!
Praying you had a beautiful and empowering birth!

Mental preparation is so hard but so worth it! If you want extra support this time around let me know, I would love to help you!
I thought inhale should be ribs expanding ?
Got your I'd in insta today
That music is stressful and annoying and makes it hard to focus on learning and being relaxed.
Too much talking not showing of technique. Thank you for the help though
