When I went into premature labor a lot of other women also were going into labor. My nurse was telling me it's getting really busy and "I swear everyone gives birth in batches. Some days it's practically empty, then some days all the rooms fill at once" I was laughing saying "but it's not even a full moon yet"
You don't have to bring the plug with you. We believe you. That had me in stitches!! 🤣😂🤣
😁
Bahahaha 🤣
I didn't know about the colostrum. I thought I'd have to order some donated breast milk because I've heard of hungry fussy newborns but I'm glad to hear our body is giving out what their tiny tummy is meant to handle.
Yes! And if you do choose to supplement a bit cause baby seems over fussy know it’s not a LOT of formula! Just a few mL will do it. But always baby to breast first so they give you those efficient ducks to help your milk come in for them ♥️
Hungry fussy newborns may be failing to latch. Some people fail to produce milk if they're having diabetic problems. Remember, everything can go wrong, but if you're healthy, you should produce enough milk. Trouble is, you're technically sick from the waist down after giving birth
You can also try to hand expel some colostrum weeks before baby arrives, freeze it into medical grade syringes, and have some ready to go at the hospital just in case they can't latch to you well. I haven't tried it yet myself.
Very informative. With my daughter i took a nap after my Epidural. That was 20 years ago. I called my best friend 5 mins after my daughter came out.
I also napped with mine. Till close to the end 😅 thanks for the comment ♥️
I'm an autistic mama-to-be, and I will be **surprised** if I feel an instantaneous love bond with my baby, because so many autistic moms take a while to develop that relationship.
On the other hand, I **strongly** suspect that I would absolutely feel naked and empty and desperate if they abruptly took the baby **away** from me, to another room (luckily not a concern, in my hospital, as we have most emergency equipment in-room). That's a kind of bond, as well. We've been a sort of dyad, all this time. The physical absence of the baby would be **awful.**
The information on epidurals is **such** a relief. I'm getting induced, and I've been terrified of needing an epidural to handle pitocin, but slowing down labor enough that I end up needing more of that pitocin.
I am hoping for a minimally medicated birth, but I **had** really wanted access to nitrous oxide for early labor, if I needed an analgesic. Unfortunately, our hospital isn't able to offer it, so it's been a huge weight on my mind whether to go with an untimely epidural or with fentanyl, if the pain gets to be too much in early labor.
Another great and informative video to counter all that incorrect and unsolicited advise every expecting mother gets during pregnancy! Thank you, Mama Nurse Tina!
Eighteen years as a L&D RN and patient teaching was one of the most enjoyable parts of my career. To be able to support and to help empower women during one of their most overwhelming and important life events is such an honour. For breastfeeding mamas, I also found it incredibly important to teach their partner how to help with breastfeeding, from ensuring mama is staying well hydrated and rested, to how to ensure a proper latch and hand positioning, etc. Knowledge is power!
Love that about partners being part of the process!
Thank you for the wonderful comment ♥️
I never heard the red heads bleeding myth. I have heard they process anesthesia faster and therefore need more.
I wish we had this information with our babies so informative!
My pain was unbearable with the epidural… really. I remember thinking “if someone cut my arm off right now it will probably not hurt as much as this”. I knew something was off when I felt pain putting the catheter in. I don’t know what happened exactly but I’m even considering not even getting it if it won’t do anything.
Hmmm. That’s interesting. If you felt the catheter it didn’t work at all!
My husband is a redhead and was listening, he has a bleeding disorder and chimed in sayong while redheads dont bleed more they are more likely to have a bleeding condition hence where that comes from.
See my epidural last time was so strong I felt absolutely nothing. No pressure, couldn’t move, I hated it. I didn’t know to say something I thought that’s how it was supposed to be. I am planning unmedicated this time to avoid that experience again
If you think your epidural ran out, you must remember that you are in little enough pain to form that thought. Without it, you'd be in TRUE PAIN
Yes, though I don’t usually point it out in the moment 😊
Yes, though I don’t usually point it out in the moment 😊 I mean sometimes they can randomly fail but more commonly they can’t keep up!
Ummm. On my second I felt everything towards the end and I was screaming in pain. So for some of us it “stops working”.
@@mamanursetinamine stopped working on my second. The docs on the room said so. It worked most the time…. I don’t think you were right for what I went through.
@@reflectionsinthebible3579 then that’s what happened for you, I believe you 😊
Thank you for the informative video!
Even though I never plan on having children these videos are so informative and helpful
Keep up the awesome work!!
Thanks for sharing all of this!!
Thanks for the comment!!
Epidural helped me relax and baby came very fast. I wait til 7-8 cm to get mine though.
Sometimes that relaxing is what our body needs. Not all the time but sometimes relaxing gets you there!
Trying for a VBAC soon, I'm praying for the best 🥺Thank you for the Video very Informative
Just be flexible in your thinking and know that you'll be pretty closely monitored. But remember it is more than possible. Use lots of positions to keep that pelvis moving and changing to allow your baby to drop and engage. And enjoy your birthing experience :)
I wish you the best too!! I had a C section with my first and then 3 vaginal births. Much prefer vaginal. Rooting for you! You got this! But yes like Tina said go in with an open mind and trust that everything will work out and you’ll have your precious baby one way or another!
THIS IS GREAT!
I was told by the nurses when I was about to push that the cassette for my epidural had run out and they would put another one in after I pushed for a while and they knew I could feel my legs and push🤷
All I know is it hurt really bad after I was told that and it did not get any better😂
Well we shall see if I can feel my legs this time.
Is c section bad.
.
I m so afraid of c section
Question 🙋🏻♀️ do boys eat more than girls ?
No it depends on each baby.
Babies tend to lose weight in breast milk. I’m a bit worried about that this time because the doctors always get nervous about it. I was thinking maybe I should use formula too. I also am thinking I should have at least one on hand.
You could bring a bit of formula and if you choose to supplement and are wanting to breast feed first then always make sure to latch baby to get that stimulation at the breast and for them to take what you have in there and then offer a supplement. You could also do colostrum harvesting!
