THIS Is What Your Body (And Your CERVIX) Does IN LABOR! Think Like a Labor And Delivery Nurse!

Friends it is TIME for us to go over what happens when you go into labor, how you get from pregnant to ready to push a baby out and then....what happens after baby is here??
This video is a legit Labor 101. Like having CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION CLASS: STAGES OF LABOR on your pregnancy transcript from pregnancy school! I'm going to answer all your questions: HOW MANY STAGES OF LABOR ARE THERE? And WHAT IS MY CERVIX DOING IN LABOR? How about WHAT IS DILATION? Or WHAT IS EFFACEMENT? In a nutshell this video will tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about the STAGES OF LABOR: EARLY LABOR, ACTIVE LABOR AND TRANSITION STAGE...and yes I of course talk about DELIVERY and the RING OF FIRE (OUCH!)
This was a fun one for me to make so let me know in the comments if you enjoyed watching it. The baby in the turtleneck analogy is of course my favourite part 😂
Here's another video you might really like because if you're learning about labor you MIGHT AS WELL learn about the things baby REALLY needs once they arrive:
• DON'T MISS putting the...
Or when you should go to the hospital!
• PREGNANT? Uncover The ...

Whew that ring of fire feeling. It’s no joke!! But when you get thru it and have your baby and reflect back on what you went thru…there’s no more powerful feeling!! Such a miracle! The baby and the experience!

[@mamanursetina]

Amaaaazing!! (Did you like that Johnny Cash? 😉)

[@prettybyaccident]

I always watch these videos. I'm not pregnant but as I enter my 30s and have a good man I am starting to think about having kids. Pregnancy and labor are terrifying to me and these videos make it seem less scary

[@mamanursetina]

Thank you! That’s an ultimate compliment!

[@sophria]

I 100% feel this. I'm 36 weeks along and thought I was going to be petrified. Having an amazing partner and watching videos like this and so much more has helped me enjoy the journey so much more

[@tracychallice1099]

so I’m autistic and about to be a parent, and finding these at this time has been an absolute blessing. thank you so much. was focusing nearly all my attention on learning about parenting because it’s something I’m familiar with and invested in being educated about, but had been avoiding learning much about labour because it’s scary and unknown. And it still is of course, but I needed this. Having information always makes everything less scary. Thank you so much more than I could say. brb gonna binge your channel in a day

[@mamanursetina]

Awwww! I just got this! Have you had your baby? I like including lots of options for different styles of learning. I’m glad you liked it

[@prismaduque5532]

Wish i found your videos sooner but glad I found them. Im due to deliver in a few days and feel so much better about it. Although still nervous, being informed and reminded is my strength.

[@mamanursetina]

Aaaaah I missed this!! Did you have your baby?? ♥️

[@myras2blessed2beestressed32]

🥴I wonder why I never felt the ring of fire🤔 while unmedicated

[@leahackerman6345]

This is such a great video! I had my baby a few days ago and the descriptions of the different phases and what you might feel are spot on. Love love love your channel ❤️

[@mamanursetina]

THANK YOU! That’s amazing to hear ♥️♥️

[@DeusDeGorostiza]

Tina, I just had to drop by and tell you how much I love your content. The energy you exude in your videos is simply electrifying!

[@mamanursetina]

Thanks for being here!

[@allisonpinkerton827]

Thanks for the great explanation of happenings during labor! I will share this with my husband so he has a better perspective on things when it gets to be time to birth our boy in a few week's!

[@michellebotha4203]

I am so happy I found your videos!

[@RoseMatthews90]

I love the pace of your videos. Lots of facts and useful information, no waffle ❤
I’d love a realistic what do you NEED in your hospital bag and at home for your newborn.

[@mamanursetina]

I love this comment! Thank you so much. CZcams is definitely a constant work in progress. NOW-hospital bags. I have a video on both your bag (Don't Forget to pack THIS for success when you give birth!) AND baby's bag (its farther down, titled Labor and Delivery Nurse's Baby Bag) on my page for you! And then I also have my "Shocking Baby Must Haves" video a few down thats a baby registry video with all the things I think you need when you have your baby!

[@janinequino3532]

Super informative! Just exactly what i needed to know. ❤ Thank you for sharing this!!

[@mamanursetina]

Thanks for being here ♥️

[@jessicawolf786]

I have given birth 3 times and had an epidural each time. I'm a month away from greeting baby number 4 and have decided to go no epidural. I have never had to experience or know about the ring of fire.... I'm glad I am aware now 😅

[@BUBBLECAT439]

Yeah am gust 10 but these vids are helping me learn more about baby birth and growth 😊😅

[@mamanursetina]

Oh thats lovely, thanks for being here!

[@stiggyPorter]

The transition faze was wild. I remember screaming at the midwife to shoot me in the head and trying to bite my ex husband. I made him cry. 😂

[@bfam7492]

Awesome! Love that Johnny Cash part 😂

[@mamanursetina]

♥️

[@tonii2019]

“Like your parent’s phone cord from 1985.” 😆👌

[@canadiansfirst3636]

I have a tear in my cervix to this day..

[@abbieswindler3172]

How is transition different with vs without an epidural?

[@Sodrili]

I have a question Tina..
How do you know when the placenta is detached from the uterus? How do you guys know that?

[@mamanursetina]

A couple things happen. The traction that they are gently holding on the cord loosens up and theres a small gush of blood that comes out of the v@gina

[@zfox8754]

You can always refuse a cervical exam too lol 😅😅

[@Larieckha]

Is there a difference when you measure the cervix during a cervical exam and during an ultrasound? Because my OB/GYN told me during the ultrasound that my cervix is still about 4cm at 37 weeks 😅….or do I have an abnormally long cervix? 😂

[@mamanursetina]

That’s a nice long Cervix!! There’s always a degree of error even with ultrasound but I would say rest assured you have no threat of labor currently ♥️

[@BUBBLECAT439]

I cant wait til a get older 😊

[@mamanursetina]

To have babies??

[@BUBBLECAT439]

Um.. maby not I don't know 😅

[@Morbid_Freyja27]

Oh my God, transition, and the ring of fire sounds scary and painful af! 😱

[@mamanursetina]

I will not lie…it’s pretty tough for people! I think that’s why training your mindset is suuuuuuper important if you want to go at it unmedicated

[@Morbid_Freyja27]

@@mamanursetina yeah I bet 😬. I don't think I could do it unmedicated it just sounds like it'll be overwhelming and overkill for me 😅

[@mamanursetina]

@@Morbid_Freyja27 Intense for sure!
