    Not sure why, but in my family we just don’t do “early labour” 😅 my sister told me not to expect that phase, and I appreciated it, because I woke up to my water breaking and my first contraction came 1 hour later. And immediately they were 4-5 minutes apart and strong! My son was out around 5 hours from my first contraction 😅
    This is how my sister’s and mother’s births went as well 🐒

    Thank you so very much for this content. I watched this serie of videos prior to labour and I must say they were very helpful. I got to experience all of your tips and tricks.
    And for once in 3 births, labor time was exactly 6hours all phase included. Not to mention that I was also able to achieve a VBAC. It is too long of a story to share it here, but I had to comment and thank you for all you do for women. Thanks again.

  • @lucyedgehill
    @lucyedgehill 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If you have a bit of a stressful situation going on at home and you don't feel always that comfortable there, are you able to head to the hospital a little bit earlier?

    • @awerkingmama
      @awerkingmama  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Absolutely! You should go whenever you feel it’s best - hopefully from an educated perspective. If you’re not dilated enough though, many hospitals will send you back home.

  • @leandrapinel4727

    Whats the difference between a birth worker and a doula?

    • @awerkingmama
      @awerkingmama  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Doulas are birth workers but people refer to themselves in a variety of ways and sometimes do more than just doula.

    • @kristinbunch4741
      @kristinbunch4741 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      A birthworker could refer to doulas, chiropractors, acupuncturists, pelvic floor therapists, physical therapist, midwife, ob, massage therapists and anyone who works with pregnant women and babies

    All great information. However, you never once utter the word “pain”. I think this is a disservice to women. You and many many others online use the word “intense” instead of “painful”. I’m sorry but “intensity” does not come close to describing transition (or often way before transition). It’s painful. Extremely, shockingly painful. Let’s not sugar coat reality.

    • @limeonthecoconut
      @limeonthecoconut 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It's actually different for all women. I don't think it's negative not to describe it as painful. Intense can cover it just fine.
