Her tips work I used a lot of her tips and techniques prior to labor and in labor, the breathing exercises. My labor didn’t go how I wanted due to pre eclampsia but I got through epidural free and pitocin free
I love the incorporation of the Lord; it's necessary to focus birth back in the hands of Jesus and partnership with the Holy Spirit. With this being my first pregnancy, I've found much relief and comfort in spending that one-on-one time with GOD as I prepare for labor, birth, and motherhood.
I’m a ftm and I’m not scared of labor and birth, I’m scared of being in the hospital. I’m scared they’re not going to listen to me or they’re not going to care for me. I wish there was a birthing center near me. I would even do a home birth, but being my first I’m not sure how everything is going to go. I have confidence in my ability to birth my baby, just anxious about the outside factors
im a nurse in postpartum and i feel the same way. I think what helped me was getting a doula because I knew i had someone super knowledgable with us that would protect my desires and help my husband with that as well. Most nurses are great however, and you have the ultimate control over everything that happens anyway. they legally cannot do anything to you without your consent. and you can fire your nurses if you dont vibe with them
@@relentlessrhythm2774 hey I just wanted to let you know that I recently had my baby! I’m 4 days postpartum and had a really great birth! I developed hypertension during my pregnancy and had to be induced at 38 weeks at a hospital. I had already been in early labor when I was induced and the hospital staff were awesome! They gave me my options for induction methods and listened to my concerns as well as tried to stick by my birth plan as much as they could. They wanted to start me with a foley balloon but I was hesitant as I’m very sensitive to pain in my cervix. I asked to start with cytotech first and see how that goes and they were all for it! I had two doses of cytotech and it was just enough to get my labor going. At around 12 I started having contractions that were painful enough to keep me awake so I readjusted and felt a pop and then some water gushing, not a lot but I could tell it was my water breaking especially bc I got the shakes right after. I called the nurse in and she checked the fluid with a ph strip and it came back inconclusive so she asked to check me and that’s when the rest of my water came! I got on the birthing ball and my contractions started to pick up. The nurse and my mom helped me through the contractions bc I was having back labor and I asked for the anesthesiologist to come so I could get an epidural. I went ahead and called my boyfriend bc the contractions were so frequent I knew my baby was coming soon. He arrived right as I was getting my epidural and him and the nurse both supported me and helped me through the process. The nurse listened to everything I said and was very attentive to my needs and receptive of my feedback. It was great bc I went from 5cm to 10cm and ready to push in a matter of 1 hour and 30 minutes. I pushed for 40 minutes and delivered a beautiful baby girl! She came out stunned and had to be worked on for 20 minutes and I had a second degree tear on the inside as well as hemorrhaging but I trusted God in that moment that he gave me a wonderful team who would keep me and my baby safe and healthy. I was truly a magical experience! I know this was long winded but I just wanted to let you know that I was taken care of and I’m blessed to have had that!❤️
I'm sooo afraid of labor pain from having heard a lot of horrible birth stories and experienced doctors who constantly pump me up with anxiety and worries. Hearing you acknolwdge the many sources of fear around me and in society makes me feel heard 😢. I'm 32 weeks and started practicing meditations for labor prep. Hope I have the mental strength to anchor myself when I go to the hospital and be surrounded by all kinds of noises.
I needed this video today and I have been watching video after video about how to give birth the proper way so it’s not killing me. I have a fear of giving birth at a hospital because you are the mercy of whoever is there to care for you at the time you give birth seeing how baby comes when it’s ready not when you are ready. My anxiety is through the roof and I haven’t been able to sleep or be happy about this pregnancy. I was excited up until I announced my pregnancy and have been in a dreading mood since. I don’t want the baby to affected by my fears as I’m still so early in pregnancy. Thank you for this video because so can finally breathe and enjoy this experience and not be in constant fear.
Oh mama, we definitely don't want to take these fears into birth! Schedule a free consultation and lets put together a plan to help you release the fears and have the birth you want. calendly.com/awerkingmama/a-werking-mama-coaching-support-discovery-call?month=2023-12
I super needed this today. 23 weeks pregnant and I do NOT have a supportive provider. My husband is amazing and we are looking for a doula, but my brain is working against me!!
fire your provider. believe me. it's more than okay to do that and you won't regret it. edit: I changed from an ob to a midwife at 30 something weeks with my first birth, so you're never too late!
I have been where you are, mama. Let’s chat about this on a free call. Sometimes, with just a few shifts we can get our mind body and spirit all on the same page.
The provider I chose is great. Unfortunately I’m considered“high risk”because I’m over 35 and have a history of miscarriage. These doctors only seem to care about the babies that didn’t make it. 🥺
@@hllymchll I won't find a midwife that will take me here in Canada, at least in my province they only accept two or three prior csections. But I am definitely not going back to the provider I had!
The health care near me is sooo messed up!!!! I’m a first time mama and am scared to death ( mostly bc I was a very very sick child and spent most of life in the hospital and hooked up to machines ) I have horrible ptsd. You never get to see the same person and you have no idea who will be in the delivery room.. It’s just whoever is on call .. This is supposed to be the best experience of my life and I leave every OB appointment in tears . I struggled w infertility for 9 1/2 years so God blessed me w this miracle . I am very high risk and know I will already be spending multiple days in the hospital-instead of just getting to go home . I am so grateful but dealing w this health care system has been horrible . I am trying to educate myself as much as I possibly can, but I do not want to deliver at this horrible hospital . They offer absolutely no information and do not help w anything unless you directly ask!!
Oh my gosh.... I needed this and didn't even know I needed this!!! From your incredible advice to hearing your scripture- THANK YOU!!! 37 weeks, had our 16 month old daughter unmedicated at an amazing birthing center but was so scared that in turn labor was sooo painful- I have been working for MONTHS on relaxing and being in a powerful, positive, relaxed mindset. You are so inspiring!!! I'm grateful for you!
Genesis 3:16 ESV To the woman he said, “I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be contrary to your husband, but he shall rule over you.” The Bible says natural birth is painful. Very interesting correlation with the car wrecks though. That makes sense to me. I believe it's going to hurt but we can hopefully manage it.
Technically, no. The Hebrew word poorly translated as “pain” there actually just refers to labor / hard work. It takes effort to give birth, for sure. Doesn’t mean it has to be the worst pain you’ve felt in your life and or that you should expect it to feel that way. The same Hebrew word is used in Genesis 3:17 when God tells Adam the ground is cursed and he will have to “toil” for food, and in Genesis 5:29 referring to the same kind of hard work. Why they translated the labor toil as “pain” but not the other instances I don’t get, because God did not curse Eve’s body or anything… doesn’t make sense at all that He would permanently make pregnancy / childbirth a super painful experience for all women, and all men have to do is work hard. 😂
“You are birthing a child, a disciple, a child that is going to change the world.” That was powerful 🥹

I loveeee this!!! Congratulations mama 🎉

Yessss there’s nothing more powerful than this. When I invited Jesus into my pregnancy and birth, it became a supernatural experience.

Learn as much as you can about physiological birth and remember that hospital policy is not law. You can do it and congratulations!!
im a nurse in postpartum and i feel the same way. I think what helped me was getting a doula because I knew i had someone super knowledgable with us that would protect my desires and help my husband with that as well.

I second getting a doula. I had a hospital birth but the doula was able to advocate for me and keep things calm
Same with me!

Make sure to get educated and around a positive and uplifting birth community! You can do this. Ignore the negativity.

Stay away from negative people who put fear into you.
@awerkingmama are you afraid of pain in labor? is it possible for labor pain to be painless and more easier?
Absolutely! Many of my clients have this experience!
