I’m praying for all of u pregnant moms to have a safe labor
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Thanks a bunch
Thank you so much.
I am so scared 😰
Thank you.
Amen..thank you
I’m currently 31 weeks and so glad I’m learning about ways to prevent tearing, I’m praying my delivery goes smoothly.
I'm 31 weeks today!
@@jasmineadair1 girl I’m 33 weeks and 4 days now and baby was trying to get out started having contractions but the hospital stopped them.
@@markeshawalter8455 I've been having Braxton Hicks since 7months :( I'm glad they got your contractions to stop, don't want baby coming too early
praying your delivery is easier than you could’ve imagined
Me toooo!!!😫🥰
When you feel the baby coming don't push until you feel the labour pain . If you push without feeling the pain you will tear. Slow pushings as she says ...it's damn not easy but you have to be conscious! Which most times during labour your head is not working right ...you feel crazy.
I'm a big fan of this channel!!!
When the baby is coming what do you mean? Is this when your like 10cm and allowed to push?
@@Strawberrygoldd yes when you are 10cm and you are told to push
Absolutely during labour the brain hardly work right 😂😂
Yes def, and your brains like nope get it out!!!! 🤣
This comment is gold worth! Thanks. I am at week 34 now, appreciate this a lot
Only few days left of my pregnancy 🙂 please pray for me to have a safe lobor
God bless you and your baby! You’re gonna be fine!❤ you’ll feel like Wonder Woman afterwards too!
Make dua to Allah (SWT)and gain the blessings for your baby and you ❤ May it be a safe, good natural process with a beautiful promised reward of health and joy for you both-Ameen
Currently 37 + 4 in the hospital getting ready to deliver later tonight to tomorrow. Couldn’t have found this at a better time
I wish you a safe delivery. All the best
How’s you and your baby doing ?
you have been the best thing i have found for this pregnancy. you have me working out, doing yoga, feeling informed and confident. i really appreciate you!
How did the birthday go?
Same here...thanks!
I feel much better knowing there are ways to prevent this. Thank you
I think it don't depend on if you workout or not. It's about doing the most you can to avoid tearing. These tips are very good. Also if you can avoid the anesthesia. That way you push with the contractions not only when the doctor says. I've seen videos where they're screaming at the mom to push while she's on her back and then she tears. It's horrible. I think you should be the one to know how hard you should push and when. The doctors are there to guide only but if you don't have too much feeling you may overly trust the people around you saying harder "harder". One midwife told me not to push that I had to do it slower but I felt I had to push a bit harder so I did and my baby was born and she still said I pushed my baby slowly. I also applied olive oil every day after shower all over my body including the vulva. I think the more things you consciously do with a purpose the more chances you will feel confident that you will succeed. My first baby I had level one tear and it was really nothing and the second time nothing at all. Let's see the third time. I also get alot of opportunity to move alot during labor. For first and second pregnancy I monitored that I didn't go over the recommended weight gain so my babies were born 3 kilos. This time I'm not really monitoring but it seems about the same. My only exercise is walking and prenatal pilates from time to time. Food quality and water is super important.
Hi I am 36 weeks and also conscious of tearing FTM by the way and the doctor said my baby is a little bigger for my size because he takes after his daddy. I am anxious and nervous. I also haven't decided yet if I'll get the epidural but I also don't wanna tear a lot. But you mentioned olive oil so I am curious. So any olive oil will do even the ones we use to cook?
I am 32 weeks pregnant and thank God for these information..
The fact that I’m here I want to cry 😭😭 i don’t want to tear 😂😂 plus I think this is all going to go out the head once we’re in labour
Just keep playing the video so you remember 😂 and your instincts will also kick in.
Yup yup so true 🙈😬
@@serenasomerset It's not that bad if you have an epidural but for women like me who want to try natural it's a very scary thought. How was your experience?
@@edenredeemed if you go into labor with fear that’s when your mind because clouded . Think about the fact that women delivered babies natural for centuries without western medicine . Trust and believe in yourself you got this
Thank you for the helpful info! Currently 21 weeks & 5 days but educating myself ahead of time. Had a tear with my first born and trying to avoid it as much as possible this time 🙏🏾
This was really informative - thank you, 37 weeks tomorrow so doing all I can to prepare for baby's arrival!
So glad you found it helpful! Congratulations on not long to go now! 💞
All the best mama!
All the best dear
kindly do share your experience with us after baby's birth ...
I’m 37 weeks tomorrow!
What advice do you have for ensuring your provider will support your decision to be in an upright position during delivery?
Ikr they'll probably force me to be on my back and say that i don't know anything
Find a midwife
Too late to see this video, got my self a 4th degree tear , but after 2 months I don't care about it at all , cause I got my angel in my arms 😍😍😍
Aw! Congratulations on your beautiful baby!
How long did it take to heal?
Thank you! The nurses didn’t allow me to put my legs down and they forced me to keep my legs up, when I wanted them down. Then I got a tear. So, make sure your provider allows you to follow your body’s instinct. Thank you for this video!
My goodness I'm sorry. Did you have the epidural? Or were you having an unmedicated birth?
They cannot force you to do anything. You simply didn’t speak up
@@conormaynard666 my exact thoughts . There’s no way I would allow someone to tell me not to do something when I’m going with the natural instincts of my body . I would’ve let out a roar so passionate they would’ve gotten out of my way and allowed me to do what was best
Some are very persistent and believe they know what’s best so they over power the woman and it sucks.
Mine too 😭 I had people pulling my knees apart and holding them there. I ended up with a 3rd degree tear.
Thanks so much for posting this! So helpful!! I get that most people don’t want to talk about this stuff til you’re facing labor, but it’s great to have a better understanding and tools to try to prevent tears. I love your channel!!!!
I’m 6 weeks pregnant watching this and thinking about it make my heart beat faster and I already feel the pain 😮💨
same
You are too early to think about it... Don't stress yourself... You are currently in your honeymoon phase of pregnancy... Enjoy the feeling now... Because in 3rd trimester u r already done with your pregnancy 😂
I’m currently 25 weeks but I’m here to take some notes! ❤️ very informative and educational ✨ thank you !
Thank you for this video, I'm a first time mum and I'm currently 5 months pregnant I'm not too afraid of birth but I know when the time comes it will be a definite positive experience ❤️
I am pregnant with my third child but i am hell scared 😱
@@Uzmy3 oh congrats! I had a slight tear but nothing major. Good luck mama 💗
@@Capricornmoon8 thanks a lot. I also had tear and 3-4 stitches both the times 😓
I am 36 weeks pregnant & I’m so happy I watched this video, thank you !
You are getting close! Thank you, Cynthia! 💞
Am 30 weeks pregnant with 4th baby but I am still learning. Thank you
Thank you so much for this video. I'm 25 weeks pregnant with my first baby and I am so anxious about giving birth.
It’s normal to be nervous… you are going to do amazing 💞
Ty girl I'm currently 35weeks and this info is gold
Getting close, Ashley! I know you’ve been preparing!
33 weeks here! A bit freaked out (it's my first) but taking it all in!
@lowkey sh yay congratulations
@@ssibhah congratulations girl ,God bless you ,yeah I get nervous also it's my 3rd baby ,but don't worry ,this Chanel has a lot of great workouts that help
@@ssibhah how did it go?
Hoping and praying for safe baby and healthy births for all of us
Currently 23 weeks and happy to find all of this info. I'm also doing prenatal yoga with your videos and I feel absolutely awesome with lots of energy (very necessary for the heavy duty nesting my husband and I are doing at home hehe)
Thank you so much for this video and your channel!!! It's really helped me throughout my pregnancy. Currently at 38 weeks + 4 days.
I really needed this to up my confidence. Otherwise anxiety has bn on mi since 34wks
Very informative! Thank you! I’m wondering, do they put any type of lubricant when baby is being born? I imagine having lubricant could also reduce the tearing. Thanks again!
Im 34 weeks. Going to do the perineal massages so fingers crossed
You're so helpful! Thank you, God bless you and your channel!
With my first birth, I was just anxious to get my baby out that I pushed too hard. I tore my clitoral hood, which is a pretty rare type of tear. It was extremely painful to get stiches and took a long time to heal. I'm currently pregnant with my second so I'm hoping to push a little slower and do all that you recommended. Thanks so much for your video.
Wow 😳 Listen that sound like it was horrible. I hope this time around things are different indeed and safe delivery hun. I am having my first child and I hope to do an amazing job. I live in Janaica and I don't believe the doctors here are all that nice but I'm leaving everything to God to pilot
Any tips on healing from big tears?
For me being a first time having a kid (pregnant with my first child) currently 14 weeks and 3 days tomorrow this was so helpful! Im beyond scared but exciting all in one about giving birth and I'm trying to get all of the information I can get lol thank you for this video !!!❤️
did you have your baby
Mothers may God protect us
I got an epidural and was laying on my back when I gave birth to my first child and I had 2nd degree tears. The second time I gave birth naturally, spent the entire labour process standing and walking around until I had to push and I laid on my side when my second child was born, I still had to get some stitches but it wasn't nearly as bad as the first time around.
Thank you for sharing! So valuable. Happy it went better the second time 💞
@@PregnancyandPostpartumTV I am too! I'm actually 39+4 weeks with number 3 right now and I'm going to aim for a similar birth as the last one, plus some new breathing techniques I've been learning 😄
This is great! I'm 32 weeks. This is my plan as well. I'm a first time Mom. How did you know it was time to push?
@@shannonf8978 if you are doing a natural birth, your body will automatically do the pushing. It will be involuntary. If you are getting an epidural, the doctor will tell you when to push.
I really want to have an unmedicated birth but I'm worried about the pain. Not pain from contractions but pain from tearing.
great video, thank you for your techniques...
This was super helpful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I did try to do perineal massage during pregnancy for my first baby but I still got a second degree tear probably due to being on my back and pushing so hard. So I'm excited for my second baby to be born to try out some of these things. I love the peanut ball. Hoping to birth sitting upright this time.
Hey how did it work out for you this time? Pls share when you can 😊
@@itti-xi9uv hello there! I actually still had a second degree tear this time with my second baby too. So unfortunately still had perineal damage despite doing massage but it could have been positioning. Most of my labor I was up and about but the final pushing the midwife rolled me over on my back which I was kind of annoyed about but there was a lot going on lol. However, this labor and recovery was miraculously easier (only five hours) than my first because of all the other prep I had done and labor things I did, and I also had a doula.
Hi there, may I please ask how long it took for the second degree tear to heal? Or for you to stop feeling pain in the perineum
@@ScrubsToScreensWithFibro Not long at all actually! A couple weeks maybe? Recovery was very smooth. Soreness was around for a couple weeks but I was still able to move around easily compared to my first birth because I labored mostly on my knees and feet
Did you have to get stitches for your tear? What other prep did you do other than perineal massage? Do you think it helped?
Squatting is great umbilical difficulty, you can allow the people assisting you to see the issues at hand greatly. Side laying is amazing for exhausting and if it’s long labor. Acupuncturists can help in third trimester a lot with non needling techniques to prepare baby for head down exit! I had both my babies with no tearing’ ❤❤❤
My biggest fearrrr!!!! Thank you!!!
It is nerve-racking, but you are going to be ready and have an amazing birth experience 💞
Thank you so much for this video. Am in my 29 weeks +
You are so welcome! Congratulations on reaching third trimester :)
Amazing tips, thanks so much!
So helpful and nicely presented; thank you.
Am 36 weeks today pls wish me and baby girl luck and safe delivery🙏
Wishing you a safe and easy delivery! You are going to do incredible!
I'm never going to look at a grapefruit the same way again. lol
Excellent video! Huge thanks. What are your thoughts about epi-no?
Thank you for your advice
Not pregnant yet but this video is really helpful to know
I love your exercise patterns,they make me sweat n nice workout.MORE DUMBLES.Lots of love to you ❤ thank you so much
It is very interesting. Can you share the article you refer to in this video?
Thank you Jessica, this is helpful!
So glad it’s helpful! Thank you, Airlia! 💞
Thanks for the tips. 40 weeks + 3 days here. Almost there. Greetings from Czech Republic. ;-)
Come on baby! Love that you are in Czech Republic! Sending you positivity and strength for your birth! You are going to do amazing 💞
40 + 1 here. Hope both our babies come soon!
40w+2d here! We're at the finish line!
39 weeks! Have a feeling mine will come on his 40+5days though! 🥰❤️
40 weeks + 4 days
is it it cool...if i just spray a little pam down there? ...right before the baby comes out?
😂 Y cant someone invent Hoohah Pam?!
Love Baby Mama
Please do a Must Haves and Regrets for the newborn for the baby girl #1, what you would use and get for baby girl #2 and what you would not get. Thank you!!
You mentioned vulvar varicose veins. I have those as well but my midwife isn't concerned. Is there anything you personally did as far as prep or during labor to help this?
Thank you so much for the tips!!! I’m 18 weeks and trying to get as prepared as possible for my first baby.
23rd week pregnant. Learning now❤️
Amazing! Thank you!
You are so welcome 💞
Thank you for sharing this info! ❤️
Thank you for all your videos ❤
Everyone is different. It doesn’t matter how extremely healthy you are if you get vaginal tear you’ll get it, you’ll get it. Like a few of my friends who are fitness trainers they prefer vaginal labor but end it up c section and some they tried to avoid vaginal tear then they end up got one.
Is the ring of fire the same as crowning?
Thank. you for all your insights and generosity of spirit
thank you this is such good information
Very helpful video. Am 35 weeks I just check your channel.
So happy it was helpful! Congratulations on your pregnancy!
Thank you very much Jessica🤍
39 weeks! ❤
I am not even pregnant and I am already watching this.... just to prepare for the future if I ever decide to have one...
Always good to be prepared!
I’m 15 weeks today with my first pregnancy and scared spitless to tear. My MIL had a 4th degree episiotomy and I’m so glad they don’t do episiotomies on everyone now but ugh. Sounds like a nightmare.
@Laura South ĺ
vxaq
Thank you for this
1:55 yeah my instincts said to slow down, and the dr was like PUSH PUSH PUSH though the burning uhhh
I’ve never been pregnant. Always been terrified of the idea. Tears and episiotomy are my nightmare! Just the thought of it makes me feel like crying and giving up. I am SO SCARED! 😭💔 The Lord willing, I’d like to have a natural birth. But I really don’t wanna go through that… Help, anybody? Like, what else can I do?!?
By the way, thank you so much for the content! I’ll be following…🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️
Very interesting. I had a 2nd-degree tear with a waterbirth at home. I think it maybe came down to pushing in the wrong moment.
That's what happened to me, Water birth in hospital and had 2nd degree tear. Legs wide apart, squatting. You can feel the burning/stinging when tearing from being in the water. 😭 I pushed hard at the end as I just wanted it over 😢 stitches are the worst. I'm pregnant with my 4th right now. Due in January 2024.
Thank you
I’m 41 weeks and am extremely frighten dat they will cut me .. n I wudnt b able to do any of these 🥺
Hi question for you what did you mean by vulvar veins and they needed hands off? I have that , where I feel veins popping out and more pain and it’s because baby is so low. Thanks Jessica
38 weeks now and im glad i came across this video..i had 2nd degree tear with my first and hoping to not let it happen again
How did it go this time around? Did you tear?
@@ga7741 hello! i had a tear😩 still 2nd degree
oh gosh! I hope the healing was okay! hugs x @@paulenenistal
use organic almond / apricot oil for the massage.
are these positions also recommended with an epidural?
Thank youuuuu
Amen
Am about to enter my third trimester
Thank you Jessica for all the Videos ! I have been following you for a while🙂. Regarding the Massage, I guess you got your husband to do it, didn’t you? I am not sure I can do it myself
I had my first baby in 2021 by cessarian section, and want another one but am terrified. This both helps and terrifies me, if that makes sense. Any advice would be much appreciated. Ive heard some horrible things about having a baby a caesarean section. Any advice would help, please
You mentioned slow down the crowning process will that cause risk as baby needs to breathe? Thanks.
Baby is still connected to the placenta and is receiving oxygen because of it. The babies body begins processing oxygen from air once they take their first breath.
The way that she explains how to breath can lead you to hyperventilation. You need to have control of your breath to maintain focus and calm as much as you can. Deep breath is always better.
I'm 32wks n it's the 5th go round for me...but it's been 5 years my bby boy turned 5 today... so i feel like this is a 1st time pregnancy 😆 n it's been so long Ian gone lie I feel like I forgot certain things except birthing n how scary it is I'm just nervous 😓 I guess but I wish everyone a well smooth sailing birth...n happy birthday Lil bundles of joy....mommy n daddy n ur older siblings ❤ 😍 u.
How did it go?
I’m not pregnant but I wanna be prepared when I do have kids. My mom has had a tear so did my grandmother and my great grandmother I believe so I wanna be prepared
What if we have an epidural and getting induced? Does this help too?
Hi i m 38 weeks and 3 day today. Haven’t got any pain. Dr told me to come back on sep 7 for induction.. is that good? Or just waiting for pain?
Would lube help prevent tearing during the pushing stage?
Will the hospital let me even get in these positions during labor?
My doctor told me it wasn’t true that it reduced tearing when u change positions and I tore. I think they just want it easier for them
I plan on getting an epidural can I be in the side position still to give birth if I have an epidural?
So are you saying that the perineal massage won’t really help if I’ve already given birth before?
I’m 36 weeks. So scared. 🤣🤦🏾♀️
When/how many weeks into pregnancy should I start this?
Anytime after 32 weeks💞
Nice video! My midwife told me that I should use an oil while doing the perineal massage....
Yes, for the lubrication :) Thank you 💞
Does this work with an epidural?
No. You're not supposed to move at all during epidural. Good news is, you get pain medicine so you'll likely only feel a lot of pressure.
@@patriciairwin9491 not true. Several positions that can be supported with epidural
So I was looking for videos to fall asleep and this is what youtube recommend. No I feel disoriented
No one warned me with my first pregnancy. I'm ready this time.
2.5 years ago I had a third degree tear... and it still feels very weak.... and I’m going to have another baby in June.... so I’m trying anything to make it stronger! Any tips??
I don’t know about making skin stronger, if it’s already weak there is a possibility that it could tear again but if you follow her tips you might be able to avoid tearing again.
have you looked onto a Pelvic floor PT?
