- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 มิ.ย. 2024
- What are the signs of early labor and active labor? How can I tell the difference? The kick-start of labor is more often than not signaled by unusual, unexpected and non-textbook signs. Today’s video is about the signs of EARLY labor and ACTIVE labor from a midwife’s experience of hundreds of “unusual complaints” that turned out to be a birth-day time and time again 😉
We will also cover how to know when it’s TIME TO GO to the hospital or birth center during labor.

@@Marshay how did it go?
@@alexiapommells4589 it went well, almost 16 hours of labor, 5cm when I went to the hospital and 100% effaced. Got an epidural at about 8-9 cm as my back pain became too much, he was in my back midwives said.
Amen
38 weeks pregnant today! Please pray for me and my Baby for safe delivery❤️
I hope you had it all safely😍
May the force be with you!
I’m praying everything went well 💕
How is the baby
@@mukisa4 hi thank you for asking my Baby is Healthy 🙏🙏🙏 God is Good..
38 weeks 2 days. Praying for a healthy delivery, healthy baby boy and a great healing process. 💙👶🏽🧸 Congratulations to all expecting momma’s ❣️
This is exactly where I am today! 38 weeks and 2 days and expecting my second child after 12 years! A baby boy as well 🥰🤗 I hope your labor and birth was everything you dreamed it would be. I’m praying the same for me 🙏🏾
Congratulations
Just wanted to say- planned a natural birth- got an epidural- no regrets. Learning signs of labor is great! Natural birth is great, but if you're in terrible pain and natural stuff aint working, it's ok to get an epidural- no guilt!
31 weeks today with my 3rd. Thinking about going natural... especially because our bodies were made and built for child birth. Wishing all mom's a safe and beautiful delivery.
Same to you love I'm 37 weeks 🙏🏾❤️
Im 17 weeks and congratulations to y'all
Amen
23weeks today with my first baby. I really learnt a lot. I’m praying for a safe delivery of my baby.

I've been exercising, Nesting ❤, using my birthing ball, cleaning the whole house, washing and folding all of her clothes 💖, using the restroom , feeling a bit sick, BUT ALL IN ALL I AM SO THANKFUL AND I COULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN THROUGH THIS WITHOUT MY HEAVENLY FATHER! Praying for a safe and healthy delivery for me and my baby girl as well as all the expecting Mama's! And A Quick healing process as well! 🎉❤🎉❤🎉
thanks my wife is 39 weeks pregnant on our first baby, praying for her normal and safe delivery
Nice to hear from another brother. We are 35 weeks but the midwife predicted an early birth 2 weeks ago. How did yours go?
Exactly 8 months today... I'm scared but also pray for safe delivery
May the lord bless and watch over you. May you have no fear and fall in love with your little one when placed on your chest. May you have hapiness and no fear in your journey. ^_^
How was your delivery ??
@@lastofthefireflies3208 aww thank u so much

31 weeks pregnant of my first baby. Praying for a safe delivery. Thanks for this video. 😊💕
39 weeks today with my third I’ve watched your videos every pregnancy like it’s the first time so helpful and reassuring that again we’re built for this. Hoping for a second safe natural delivery any day now ❤️.
I was exactly 39 weeks yesterday. I am getting a bit impatient but I also don’t want to rush my baby girl. I hope it happens within a couple of days 😅
Me too am 39 weeks 2 days , I can't wait am feeling anxious
Im 32 weeks and 3 days and I’ve been cleaning like crazy. Its also time I hope for a safe delivery and pray that other mommas have safe and healthy babies too💓
Prayed for you. God bless.
Oh yeah the nesting. It was so intense with my first. I wonder with this one.

36 weeks now. I’m so excited but no labor signs yet :(
Same here haha, I'm just excited now and can't wait to meet him
Am 34weeks but yesterday i had painful false labour pains it was terrible
@@mukisa4 oh dear, i also had it around 34 week, no worries they will only help your body preparing.. midwives and doulas i talked to cheered up that i had braxton hicks, seems like ur body is preparing! trust yourself and breath consciously! sending all best
32 weeks, and same
I watched this video at 36w3d and nearly every symptom she mentioned happened to me and i gave birth at 36w5d. thank you this was very useful to know when it was time for baby to come
37 weeks pregnant and I'm a bit scared but l know God is in control❤
Yess sis...37+2 and trusting God to show himself at our home birth 🙏🏾 You got this mama
@@sensualnina83 thank you
same like me!!! 🤲🏻
Yass Queen.. God is able❤
Always!!!!
Just had baby girl Monday, I was in labor at home for about 6 hours thinking they were Braxton Hicks... I got to the hospital just in time 8cm dilated pushed her out 45 minutes later didn’t have enough time for epidural so natural we went!! 😆
Wow you are so brave 👏🏽
Congratulations mommy 🎉
I’m 37weeks today! Praying all goes well! Thanks so much for your videos!
M 28 weeks pregnant. M soo worrying. It's my first baby. Plz pray for me for the safe and normal healthy delivery.
Im 29 weeks and I have so much anxiety it's also my first baby and I'm really scared. We got this girl we were made for this💪🏼
You’ll be fine trust me. Your body was made for this. Trust your instinct and try some breathing techniques and relaxation, hypnobirthing etc.
Currently in labour at 39 weeks. Wish you both well.
Girl don’t worry lol I had my first baby girl at 21-22 and by the time your in your last weeks you’ll be ready with being comfortable again and done with being pregnant. I am now pregnant again at 37 weeks and I’m so excited and not anxious at all, I’m more focused on having the baby here and getting myself back . However getting a epidural makes a huge difference in how your labor goes.
@@lrs116 check out hypnobirthing!! it will help u have a calmer pregnancy
@@stephaniexoxo3879 tell me more about epidural.. i prefer avoiding it.. week 36 now
You brought up so many great points I don't typically hear about in "Signs of Labor" videos! Thank you! I am 40 weeks and 2 days (Im a first time mom) and you covered a lot of symptoms I'm feeling that other people haven't been talking about.
38 weeks and 4 days! If natural labor doesn’t happen by Sunday I’m scheduled for induction! I’ve been noticing some signs and really hoping it happens naturally! Wish me luck with a safe and healthy delivery and baby. Congratulations to all expecting mommas!!!
How did it go? Did you go naturally or did you get induced? My daughter is 38wks and a few days now.
Wishing you safe delivery
I’m a first time mom, I’m really excited I’m 25 weeks today, plz keep me on prayers for a healthy delivery and a healthy baby 😘
I’ve had a medicated hospital birth ( due to my son having congenital heart defects) and 2 homebirths, one accidental and one planned. I planned to have an unmedicated hospital birth, but about 10 minutes before my accidental homebirth I had my mom call the hospital to tell them “they better have the anesthesiologist waiting on me because I want the epidural NOW. I don’t think I’ll be able to have one, but in case I can I want them ready.” In that moment I remembered reading that when you get to the point that you feel like you can’t do it anymore the baby will be here very soon. I had the next contraction and that is when I let my husband and mom know we weren’t going to make the 30 minute drive to the hospital, we were having this baby at home. My mom caught our baby girl about 10 minutes later.😂 My labor was only 2.5 hours. I never dreamed I would have such a short labor, but it was wonderful and is the reason I planned to have my third birth at home. Water seems to speed up my labor very quickly and 2.5 hours was a little too fast for me so for my planned homebirth I wanted to have more like a 4 hour labor. I stayed out of the water until I was ready to have the baby and about 20 minutes after I got into the tub, almost exactly 4 hours of labor later, my second baby boy was born. I delivered him myself and it was everything I ever wanted and more!
That is amazing!! Than you for sharing
Were you engaging any daily routine or exercise or something? I hope to have an easy labor and delivery. So happy for you 💓
33 weeks and 1 day. Praying for a safe delivery . Thank you for this video 💗
I'm 26 weeks and 2 days, my 4th pregnancy. I'm happy to get closer to giving birth, its amazing!! Prayers for all you first time Moms you got this!
I’m 38 weeks today and I’ve never really been nervous for labour, until now. Starting to feel so much more real and it’s scary! Good luck you once the time comes 🥰❤️
God help me
This is my fourth baby, and this video is the most wholistic, accurate and helpful explanation of labor signs I’ve seen. I feel like most videos over-emphasize just one indication, which may or may not accurately be a sign of impending labor for you. Thank you! This video gave me more confidence to trust my instincts.
What are these
And my money pregnant
I am 36 & 2 days. I am praying that all goes well and I have a safe delivery. My husband and I are very excited to meet our little baby. This was a great video; thanks!

Thursday I will be 39 weeks pregnant. This is my first child and I am nervous but ready.

I believe this will be my best adventure ever. Finally being a mom. Thank God! Prayers go out to all my 2020 moms, and the moms before and after. Being a woman is Beautiful!!!

36 weeks pregnant 😊 really nervous . It's my first time. Praying for safe delivery and healthy baby ❤
Safe delivery IJMN
A sign I was about to go into labour was the hormones that flood your body right before made me really emotional a couple days before contractions started. Also had lightening crotch really bad in the weeks that lead up to labour, more frequent bowel movement, more cm and the top of my tummy went tight the night before. I had a bit of a traumatic birth as she broke my tailbone on her way out, but it is so worth it and I’m so full of pride for growing my baby and what my body was capable of :) x
I’m 38 weeks and 2 days with my second. I have been having light lightening crotch, tightening of the stomach, blah feeling and today I got so emotional and bawled my eyes out along with feeling anxious and shaking. I was wondering if this could be a sign that I just didn’t have with my first born. This pregnancy has been completely different. Congratulations on your little one!
Ooh I started labor this morning... Praying for a safe delivery
31 weeks pregnant, super scared and excited at the same time. last time got pregnant was 15 years ago... it like its my first time again. praying for both of our safety ❤️

I am 38 weeks, no pain relief wanted, could all change but I know my body is built for this!
