I was 40+5 weeks pregnant and tried this. I did the whole routine twice a day and the second day I started labor. My baby was 10 pounds and yet I was able to give birth naturally in a home birth without complications. Thanks!!🎉
Ok you are amazing!!!! Congratulations
I had to come in here and leave this comment!
I was 38 weeks 5 days, 5cm dialated. Had contractions but wasnt dialating because babys position wasnt optimal. Came accross this video and decided to give it a shot. I was 20 minutes in. Completed 10 min of the first pose and 5 minutes into the exaggerated side lying and my water broke. Labor was a total of 6 hrs. Dont hesitate to try this. It really works.
That's beautiful
I tried it, still went to 42 weeks and had an unwanted induction/c section. It definitely won’t work for everyone 😢
Hope these help me, 40 weeks and 4 days 🤞🏿(edit) did these exercises at least 10 mins and started contractions the next day. Took two days but my water had finally broke. Arrival at 41 weeks 1 day 💙
These really really work, I fact more than a few of the videos on this channel work like magic.
I did these exercises and started contracting the next morning. Had my baby the following day.
Amazing!! Thank you for the upload ❤
Did this while in early labor and my total labor time was less than 11 hrs and my midwife didn’t make it in time my husband caught our baby! Transition was a total of 45 mins and pushing less than 10!
This absolutely works!!! As long as you do it for the time indicated.
I did this with my now 1 year old before bed. When I woke up at 6 am I was in full blow labor and had him by 8am.
that's awesome!! did you do 30 minutes for each exercise ?
The miles circuit works perfectly... it induced my labour at 38/2weeks..did it for only two days
Your hair is gorgeous!
You have the best videos out there. I have had 3 vaginal deliveries and this will be my fourth. This is the info I was always missing, but would get bits and pieces. You’ve got it all, great job on your channel ❤
This was the best demo with ratinale explanation for each pose I've watched so far.
Did this at 39+3 at 4 pm and water broke at 8 pm. Writing from hospital now!
I have to say the first position was really hard with pillows. They kept sliding. I finally just removed my leg pillows and was able to hold the position for 30. Just in case anyone else has the same issue. Thanks so much for the video!
Thank you for your videos, they helped me a lot for my vbac delivery ❤️ 😊
I tried this at exactly 37 weeks and went into labor the very next morning! It works!!
Hiyya I was searching on TH-cam then found this video. I was exhausted as I was 41weeks +1 day. I tried everything but I felt this exercises helped. I did the exercises in the morning and my water broke by evening. I gave birth to my baby next day. Thank you would definitely recommend x
I did these 3 exercises just one time around 1/2 PM on the day of my 41st week of pregnancy, my labour started about 11 hours later right after midnight. Baby boy is almost 3 months now
Really then am doing it now …cuz am tired and can’t wait
Tnx dear
Do you know how dilated you were before you did it?
Doing this now at 41 weeks and 3 days… very committed to having a natural, unmediated homebirth. Have been having lots of Braxton Hick contractions daily since 37 weeks. Baby’s head is already engaged in pelvis but other than that I have no signs of labour yet. Trying to keep a positive mindset while praying for patience and fighting to keep my mind out of crazy town 😂
Thank you for creating these videos to help us mamas! I really appreciate you! ❤
Im not quite in a position to do these yet since I'm a few days shy of 36 weeks but this is great informative to know because I CANNOT WAIT to get this baby out!
Watching this at 35and 3days I must say I get the feeling 😢
@@missteeshemah580 I’m 36 w 5 d and can’t wait to get my baby out😩
40 weeks today. Here to try and kickstart labor. That open, knee, and chest position is tough right now! Geesh! Hoping to get some results & start labor within this week to avoid induction.
Peace & Blessings to all with a safe delivery & healthy baby! 🙏🏽
I just release a new comfy version of the miles circuit!
My baby was already in the right position at the time of this post. Had baby two days after this post. However, I had to get an emergency C-Section because the baby flipped in the wrong position... not sure if these exercises caused that.
Nonetheless, baby & myself are home now & in good condition.
Peace & Blessings to all with a safe delivery with a healthy, beautiful, and happy baby!
I’m 39 weeks tomorrow. Induction date is in 4 days I just want to pop this baby out
UPDATE!!
Did everything in the video and literally a day later I was dilated to a 4 (week before I was at a 2) and was having more regular contractions!!!
Baby is healthy and happy!!!
Did this a couple days in a row. It wasn’t until I reallllly put myself deep in the correct position during the peanut ball stretch where I could feel it working. It caused minor cramps and my water broke that night!
I’m 39 weeks + 2 days. Yet have i dilated😫
im 17 & this is my first. im so ready for her to come out! im gonna do this & squats!
my induction is in 6 days! hopefully 🙏🏾 she comes naturally with this hard work im doing!🥰
I’ll keep yawl updated
How did it go??
Wishing you the best 🐣
How did it go?? Please give us an update.. I’m 39 weeks +2 days my induction is also in 6 days, trying to get this baby out naturally. Please how was your experience
@Kiarra Dewalt how did it go?
How u know ? That's a girl
I did this the night before my induction. I went into labor that morning with no induction needed.
Love it momma❤️! I’m not in QUITE a rush to get baby out yet, but I’m 38 weeks today 🙌🏿! I’ve also been doing these moves to prepare so we’ll see! Thanks for sharing 🥰!
Such a great body balance prep! Congrats!! Oh it’s so so soon! 😍
Did you see my pregnancy AM and PM stretching routine?! They are a life saver!!
@@DanceePinkston Thank you so much ☺️! And not yet, but I will definitely add it to my list😉🥰!
40 weeks pregnant in 2 days. Come on baby!!
Edit: I had my baby and it was a 1.5 hours of labor born in the car 😅
Yes! 🥰 so exciting! So so close!
Wow! Late Congrats!!! 🙌
😂 congratulations
Im telling you. I did the first and two. after 40 minutes my water broke. My labour have begun
38weeks and 2 days and sooo uncomfortable. Having contractions on and off for the past week, I almost went to the hospital today. I’m already 4 cm and 70% effaced. This couldn’t have come at a better time! Thank you!
So so close Shelby! This always helped my baby readjust before I went to sleep and felt so much more comfortable. You may also find it helpful doing my pregnancy stretches routine! A game changer! While also aligning those pelvic ligaments. 🥰
did you go into labor after doing this?
Did it help you? I’m 38 and 6 days. Been having contractions for a day and half. I’m so uncomfortable. I need him out.
@@tatiana1106 I think it did!! I had him just a few days later!
@@shelbobaggins0 t
That’s amazing! Congrats!
Definitely helpful
I am a very petite woman. I'm 4'11 and my normal weight is 100lb. I am also small boned. I am currently just 36 weeks and I'm having trouble walking, I have pressure in my chest and lower abdomen. When I eat, I feel like my stomach has expanded to the max. I cannot wait to have this baby. I currently weigh 130 pounds with baby and I cannot physically go any longer. I am FULLY aware that 36 weeks is early, but I am TRULY having a hard time.
I’m 5’1 and 35 weeks atm. I feel you so so so much! Im small too. Not having a good time
Hope ur okay!! Baby time is coming soon 🤍
I hope your baby drops soon. I was same a week later he sunk into my pelvis. Actually have room to breathe and eat now
I’m 40 weeks and 3 days, I’m ready to try👌🏻😮💨
I am 35 weeks now 😊 I will be trying this soon
Going in tonight at 10pm for an induced labor & I'm hoping that this will help speed things along with the Pitocin. I do not want to be at the hospital longer than needed!
Be ready when you do these because I did it last night and I’m in the hospital now 😂. One round of these at 37 weeks and 3 hours later my water broke! Might want to wait til the morning!
Am ready 😂
Am praying it works for me ❤
Was you already dilated?
I’m here to ask if you were dilated at all before as well. I’m 37 weeks and 5 days I’ve been having contractions since I was 35 weeks but not enough to be active labor I’m sitting at 4cms now 60% effaced and back in labor and delivery for having contractions again
You gave me hope because I’m 37w 1day and have tried it all. Still the same 2cm dilated.
So on 4/11 I watched this video I did the 1st two exercises 15 mins each had tiny contractions nothing too serious then 4/12 at about 11:30 am I did the first 2 exercises for the full 30 each I began contracting and went to sleep thinking nothing was going to happen when I woke up at 3:30 pm I was in full blown labor was 1 cm dilated on my appointment on 4/9 when I got to the hospital 4/12 I was already 6 cm dilated I had my baby in my arms at 9:22 pm on 4/12 these exercises really work thanks gurly😊😊❤❤😊😊
39+4 and I’m in tears just so ready to go into labor… I’m begging for contractions. I am so ready for baby.
Oh my god, we're the exact same! 39+5 today nd I'm doing everythibg to get this baby out!
I am also 39+1 and waiting eagerly for
Labour to begin
Sameeeee. I am 39+5 today. Doing every thing to get into labour but nothing seems to work 😭😭😭 If i dont get into natural labour. I ll induced on saturday. Pls pray for me
Did it work
Same here no sign of labour 🥲🥲
I did these once at 38w5d. I gave birth the next day so thanks 😂
Am so ready to go in to labour ya Allah let your will be done 🙏
37+4 weeks. I’m over it y’all. Still working full time. Little man needs to come on.
Just tried this tonight
Did it work for you?
@@elizabethcook5164 so far, no. 38 weeks today, no dilation, no effacing 😭😭 I’m feel like crying so hard 🥲
But I’ve only done it for 2 days. Maybe if I continue something will happen
Hi Ruth 🥰 you are doing great. I’m proud of your for preparing your body for labor. No matter what this is setting you up for an easier labor. When baby is ready, the baby sends a hormone signal to your brain and labor hormones get going. Look into dates of you want to prepare more but I’m the meantime I survived late pregnancy making sure to do my daily pregnancy stretches and a nightly pregnancy pamper routine. Keep me updated girl!
Have you had baby yet?
@@carlymcdonald7181 I’m actually in the hospital bed RIGHT NOW lol. Had to be induced
I am currently 39 weeks and 5 days. My induction is scheduled for Thursday--currently drinking raspberry leaf tea, eating dates, and I'm going to try some of these stretches. I haven't experienced any contractions but I was dilated somewhere between 2/3 at my 39 week appt. Really hoping to go into labor before Thursday!
Did it work?
How did it go?
I just did first exercise and already got pains that comes & go😘
Did it work?
Omg i do the 1st position as comfort for my back lol
I am 38+6 .. today will try these hope it works for me
I’m 38 weeks and miserable!!!! So Im gonna try this. I have been having cramps since last night around 9pm. So praying this helps start my labor they are planning my c-section for the 7th but I need some type of relief now!!!
Has this helped you
@@fatumoflower1574 it helped things start up for sure.
I have a contraction to after this but i need to move alot even my feets are swollen 😭😭😭😭
I'm 41 +1 today and did this routine. Started cramping after with bloody show. (Which I had only had in the past after multiple cervical checks). I think it's a good sign!
Such great signs! Signs of more pressure on cervix which probably means better baby head engagement/better fetal positioning! Keep us updated! 🎉
@@DanceePinkston I went into labor and had my baby the next day!
So the Miles Circuit (including the inversion) can be done if baby is already engaged? I read somewhere inversion of engaged baby shouldn’t be longer than 30 sec.
I'm 36+6 today and I'll start trying this !
I’m falling asleep so deeply at the second posture 🥲 just woke up from a 2h coma.
did it work for you
Did it work
@@abdurroufkhan4928 not at all, my baby’s head wasn’t in a good position I almost had an emergency c-section. Didn’t worked for me at all
Tnx for reply
Trying this for the first time at 38 weeks +1. I hope to have my baby before being induced on the 25th. Will give an update if anything changes
40 weeks + 6 days here.. can’t take this anymore!! doing this now will update
Did it work?
Did it work?
I’m 37 weeks today! When do you suggest starting these things to induce? My baby is head down and she is facing my back. They told me today she was in the correct position? She is estimated to weigh 7 pounds. Should I wait until 39 weeks or can I begin your videos?
Im 38 weeks 1cm dialated.. theyve already tried to induce me twice and sent me home. Its been torture. 44 hours of forced contractions and didnt dialate me at all, just exhausted me. They want me to come back in two days but I think I want to wait until 39 weeks at least.. hopefully this works so I dont have to do that over again.
When can we start these stretches? Are they dangerous before 37 weeks?
39 weeks 3 days. I'm really tired i can barely walk that pain of sitting and standing is unbearable. I'm going to start these today and hopefully something happens soon
Is it normal to feel intense pelvic pressure during these exercises // after?
38+1 and been contracting on and off for 5 days, worth a shot 😅
Did it work??
39+1 so ready to go!!!
I sooo understand! Your body and your baby are working together for the perfect timing. 😘
What do you mean by “untangle uterine ligaments”? Im trying to find out hiw this works & cant find anything. Just trying to understand what the first position does
In my last pregnancy I did this the day before I was set to be induced and my water broke that night! I was 38+6. This time I’m 34 weeks with twins and baby b is breech, so I’m doing this to help her turn head down and avoid a C-section. Hoping it works!!
Ya reply plz
Update?
Hello, when can I start with this exercise? I am only 30+5 so I do not want to induct anything yet. I only want my baby to find the right position. :)
If baby is already head down in the right position will / could this make it turn the wrong way?
40+2 today and I’ve been trying this for a week now. Hoping it’s helping
Same. Hitting 41W
All these videos are about baby’s position but what about if baby’s position is perfect but cervix is not dilated?
Plz at what week of pregnancy is it advisable to do this exercises?
This hurts my body I haven’t worked out this pregnancy 😅 39 weeks 1 day ! Extremely miserable signs of labor coming soon and a horrible hemorrhoid that came along so scared for that 😢 I don’t want to be pregnant any longer hoping this works !
I’m 40 weeks + 3 days so ready to get this going
Did it work?
Following
I’m trying this but the side laying position hurts my belly. Any suggestions?
I’m 38+5 days and I’ve been having the worst contractions, lost my mucus plug but I have not got past 1 cm in three days. I had this issue with my first daughter I was hoping I wouldn’t have the same issue with my second but both of them are stubborn 😭
Omg it worked. Did it yesterday, had my baby 2 hours ago
U did for how much time?
Coming back here to comment that I did this last week on Saturday afternoon. Six thirty Sunday morning my contractions started, by 11:51p that night my baby girl was in my arms 😍 totally worked. Born 9 min before her due date at 39 weeks and 6 days. ❤❤❤
Omg u literally just had your baby?? Congratulations 🎉💖💖💖
@@citlalliyepez5379 thank you 😊
38 weeks
Running 39 weeks of my pregnancy. I did this exercise last night. Today my water broke for a while. What do I do now?
My doctor recommended this for inducing labor naturally but after watching I realize I’ve been doing the mile circuit for weeks without even know i do the first position before bed to release tension on my back and lower belly. The second position is literally how I sleep and then I wake up and go on my birth ball for an hour in the morning
I did the same every night for the same reason before bed without knowing too! So funny how our body knows what it needs!
Thank you so much for your video! For the second position are you supposed to lay on your left or right side? I hear you say left side but in the video show right side.
Left side 🥰 and if you decide to do another round of the miles circuit then switch to right side.
I'm 37 weeks with my third baby and she's in unstable lie, switching all the time from being head down, to oblique, to transverse. I'm going to start doing these stretches and see if I can encourage her and keep her in a head down position for labour 🤞🏻
UPDATE: I'm 38 weeks now and I began doing the circuit yesterday. My baby turned back transverse right after these stretches... If your baby is in unstable lie and capable of turning, my advice is to NOT do this....
My baby at 37 weeks , keeps turning
@@chanchalsharma7092 As a bit of an update, she turned head down at 38 weeks by herself (I stopped doing these stretches after she almost moved breach instead 😅) and I was able to have an easy homebirth. Is this your first baby? If you had more children in the past your baby could have lots of room left and there's always the chance s/he could turn in time
Does this work for women thats not having contractions at all?
39 weeks and 3 days with no sign of labor starting anytime soon. Hopefully something on this video works!
Should my belly touch the bed? I’m short and not sure if I’m doing it right. The first position.
40 weeks today, gonna try this and see 🙏
Please let us know if it works.
Whats thé news?
39 weeks 2days ❤
I’m 40 weeks 1 day and I’m about to do these I’ll update later 😅
The first position is almost impossible for me to get into I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong if my belly is to big or what 😢 it hurts my upper back a lot in this position
37+3 today. My doc wants to induce at 39 weeks due to low platelet count for me. But she said shes hopeful ill go into labor before then.
Tried this yesterday and lost my mucus plug this morning! Trying again today ❤️
Did it work?
I’m at 36 weeks and 4 days and I lost my mucus plug weeks ago
@@felicityjackson7162 that’s because losing your plug isn’t a sign of labor you can lose it at any point in pregnancy and it will come back..
I also have thrombocytopenia, how did everything go
@@morgansteinbarge1962 that is not true. If you lose your mucus plug in late pregnancy your cervix is doing something. If it was just coming out just because it would have happened already. Losing whole mucus plugs, with brown or pink are signs of oncoming labor.
I have tried to do the first exercise, but all I'm getting is upper back and chest pain... could it be because my bump is quite heavy? I am 37+3 and trying to get baby to reposition as baby is in a tilted cephalic position.
I would get that a little bit. I would try moving to a couch or bed with more pillows under your hips to help prop you up. 🥰
Is it ok if I do these everyday???? as I am 30 weeks now!
I went from 5cm to 8 cm in 30 minutes with this and had baby 30 minutes after that! But main thing I did was take the gentle birth tincture without blur cohosh
Hi what is gentle birth tincture pleaser
This legitimately works. I did this circuit during the day on 40+1 and my water broke that night! My baby was born the following morning 😮
Laying here stretching, noticing how dirty my rug is😅. Where is yours from?
I am now 40 weeks + 1 day,,, after 3 days i will have to go for induced,,,but yet i Don't feeling any contractions,,,and dilated 0 cm,,,now what can i do,,my baby is in cephalic position,,,but not engaged in pelvic area and not even 1cm dilated,,,sobcan i do this exercise to have natural labour pain with engaging head in pelvic area and start dilating,,,,can this will be wrong for my babys position,,,,,plz help
Is it normal if your belly touches the bed when doing the first position ?
I can't do the first position. I've tried so many times and so many different tutorials, even had my boyfriend and a doula try to help me. It just feels so wrong and uncomfortable. In case anyone else was struggling too
Can I do this at 37 weeks?
I'm 2days to 42weeks, I'll try these today,i can't wait to get into labor,the thought of being induced freaks me out 😩😩
My 2nd c sec s planned on thursday ..shall I try this for VBAC?
How are you 🥰
39 weeks today. Wish me luck
Had this ever helped anyone to induce labor?
39weeks and 6 days
I'm 38weeks+ and went for my appointment yesterday. OB said my cervix is still not dilated but the baby have dropped and is in position already . I did this routine last night at around 6pm and 8 pm. Started cramping by the morning with bloody show. Is this a good sign? 🙏
Did you give birth momma? I’m currently 38 weeks and babys head has been engaged for 4 weeks already
I started doing this routine on Nov 11 and by Nov 15 I gave birth to my son 😊
39 weeks and 2 days together, cervix is high and only 1/2cm dilated will try this from today evening onwards and see if it helps. & dw guys iwont leave you hanging will definitely be back to let u know if it helped, prayers for me as I had an emergency c section previously and this time round I am trying for a Vbac!
Did it work?
I am 39 weeks today!
I had a membrane sweep 3 days ago, lost my mucus plug the next day, more mucus plug the day after that, and then did the miles circuit yesterday.
Hoping it works for me! 🙏🏻 I’m gonna do it again today!
Did it work?
I will be 40weeks tomorrow,and am in serious pain, thanks I pray this helps me
I’ll say a prayer! 🥰
Also I was going to mention my pregnancy stretch routine was a life saver for my hips and back!
Currently on the second exercise getting lightening crotch this is my second baby hoping for the best!!
Nothing lol now 38 weeks and still 2 cm dilated
