Perfect timing! Currently sitting on my yoga ball drinking iced coffee (half calf) 😋 40w 3d trying to get this baby out before my induction on Monday!
How did it go? 🥰
17 weeks today and I feel like I need to learn ALL THE THINGS! This channel is amazing. Very appreciative.
Nurse Zabe is also amazing for all the info on pregnancy, labor and postpartum. I watched so much of her and Sarah when I was pregnant with my first.
I did not have the birth of my preferences in any way I had planned/hoped for, HOWEVER because of your education I was comfortable with being flexible, I advocated for myself comfortably when needed and although my birth concluded with a dreaded C-section, I can honestly say I had a healthy birth memory. You’ll love that I was told “your baby is big.”
Thank you. A full video on avoiding triggers would be great. I know it might not make it to CZcams before I give birth (33 weeks now), but it would be a good resource because there are so few people talking about it. The most I've seen is a brief paragraph in 2 books.
Just had my baby 3 days ago. Thank you for all your information on your channel because my husband and I were able to identify that my daughter needed positioning help. Peanut ball to the rescue!! I went from 4cm to pushing baby out in 2 hours.
You’re really the bomb. Like incredible. Your answers, your depth of knowledge, your delivery. Really really good!! They need to make your training mandatory across all L&D teams.
I had a really amazing birth experience just 2 weeks ago. Your videos really helped my spouse be an amazing labor partner compared to our first. He felt so much more informed and prepared from seeing your videos.
I have a 7 weeks baby boy and after enjoying your videos all throughout my pregnancy, I am still here, though it is not necessary anymore :) you are fun to watch
Starting my 27th week tomorrow, i am so exciting and Happy with my first baby boy❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏Love to watching You, You are very helpful and positive, Thanks for that🤩🤩🙏🙏❤️❤️
About to have baby #2 and this video hit so many questions and things I've been thinking about ! Been watching you since my last baby & have loved you and your videos since ! God bless you, He has truly given you a gift and you're blessing so many mom's with your knowledge and easy going spirit ! Makes me feel more comfortable with things and less anxious ! ❤️❤️❤️
38 weeks & 3 days here and have binge watched all of your videos!!! 😍
Love it! Took your March physiologic birth class, and took so many new things from it that I’m incorporating into my care with each patient. Thanks for mentioning that the fascia crystallizes quickly, I almost forgot about that!! So important to keep moving!
Yessssss so fun you got to come to the class!!! Keep being THAT nurse for these patients need!!!
I've had pelvic girdle pain for the majority of this pregnancy and I get so jealous seeing this girl sitting on the floor 💔 I want my body back...
Thank you for addressing the pudendal block. I've asked multiple providers and support staff about this after seeing an Emmi video that suggested it, and they all looked at me like I was crazy.
I was surprised when I was in labor that I could not stand sitting on a birth ball during labor last month. I had to be standing and swaying up til the point that I got the epidural. Wasn't expecting that at all. First birth and my labor lasted 12 hrs, pushed him out in a little over an hour even with an epidural :) Had some tearing but not too bad, but your videos really helped me advocate for myself thank you so much :)
You’re videos are great! I love how you took questions and addressed them in a video, you answered a few that have been on my mind! I’m 39 weeks trying to distract myself as well as educate myself a little more as I lay here with Braxton Hicks and the beginning of my bloody show haha. First pregnancy so I’m trying to gain all the knowledge I can before the big show, so thank you for your videos they’re very informative and helpful!
Feeling your baby move during labor... man that hits hard.
With my first, I was under the misguided impression that I wasn't going to feel baby move during labor. And so I never mentioned the lack of movement until several hours into intense contractions. We went to the hospital as soon as I mentioned it, but it was too late.
I will always wonder if my baby could've been saved if I had known I was supposed to be feeling her move during labor. If I had said something sooner, they might've been able to do something.
I literally saw the title - and I said “check, check, check, check” lol.
Thanks so much for answering my question. I was so used to my old care team and due to insurance issues I have to go to a different hospital for this delivery. I think that is why I'm so anxious.
??TTC and all things pregnancy, birth and postnatal, for us ladies with endometriosis??
I love your channel, I'm learning so much 🙌🙌🙌
I just wanted you to know that I'm apart of a VBAC support group as I'm expecting my second and hoping for a VBAC and you are very popular in our group! haha we love you so much!!
Thank you SO much for this specific video!! ALL of them are great, but this was all stuff I needed the most
Can you please go over purple crying? No one told me in the hospital and now its very overwhelming.
15 weeks and its finally gone 😌❤ had it since 2 weeks old.
I'm triggered EVERY time I go to a gyno and they tell me to "relax". How am I supposed to relax when someone I barely know is face to face with my lady bits and wanting to stick a weird object in there?? It's literally the least relaxing environment I've ever dealt with. I leave every appointment feeling violated. It's so bad I've avoided going in years. I'm pregnant now and I feel like OB won't be so bad cause it's mostly non-invasive ultrasounds, but you'd be hard pressed to see me at a gyno any time soon. (I also have PTSD from varied sexual encounters at various ages and I appreciate you talking about this.)
Yes to trauma video in relation to birth please!
I was told to be quieter during transition because there were other patients trying to sleep. I had a precipitous labor and arrived at hospital 20 min before baby was born, and I was terrified and lost control. Nurses didn’t help me get control, instead they told me to be quieter.
I’m sorry that happened to you. I had a horrible experience with being told to be quite with my last pregnancy by my own mother (who has had 7 kid’s herself) like she forgot how painful labor is or something! And my baby was a month early and she wasn’t helpful or supportive whatsoever even after giving birth! Baby and I had to take a taxi after our stay in the hospital to a hotel for the one day checkup, (I live 2 hours away from the hospital so I didn’t want to go all the way home with baby) and then after that I had to find my own way home with a newborn. She thinks she will going to the hospital with me for this pregnancy but she was too negative for me and made my last birthing experience very complicated to where I’d much rather just be alone. So I told her I want to go alone and now she is being very petty and childish about my decision to not have her in the room with me
You are amazing! Thank you Sarah!
3/3 never felt any of my babies move while in labour.
Ok currently 34 weeks with second baby and plan is a VBAC. Very nervous to actually experience what LABOR IS !
40+1 today and super congested (awaiting COVID results to rule that out - though v unlikely as I’m in Aus where transmission is so low). Hoping I recover before labour starts! 🤞
Hello Sarah 👋🏾
I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw on BBN Bunbdle Birth apparel.. just saying if you decide to sell shirts I'll buy one 😂
21 weeks and trying to get all the education I can
I had a great L&D team at my hospital, I only had one nurse post delivery that was on the postpartum side that wouldn't help me put on my TED hose cause to quote her "I broke a nail so it's too painful for me to do that" never mind I had 3rd degree internal tears that had to be surgically dealt with just hours before, I did it myself and my husband helped after throwing her out lol. Question: I would like to do something for the nurses, CNAs, physicians etc, just a thank you for all the hard work and help during my labor/delivery/recovery, any suggestions?
Watching this video made me cry. I’m holding my 5 week old and my epidural completely failed and I was screaming and moaning the entire time, I could feel. Everything. And my nurse literally grabbed my arm, hard, and got an inch from my face and SCREAMED “STOP IT, YOU CANNOT BE THAT LOUD. BREATHE” my midwife and nurse kept yelling at me to BE QUIET, STOP IT. BE SILENT. BREATHE AND BE SILENT YOU ARE MAKING IT WORSE. I got myself into hands and knees, they forced me back down. I asked for stirrups, they said no. Asked for a birth bar. They said no. Asked to change positions. They said no. I was told that stirrups or a birth bar would “make it worse.” So I was stuck with my legs closed until my nurse would lift my legs during the absolute peak of my contraction and she would not lift them any other time, even though my body was involuntarily pushing. Why would she say these things? How could it “make it worse?” And I literally didn’t even push my baby out, I stopped pushing because it hurt too much and she came flying out anyway, so why was I told that I wasn’t allowed to push until the nurse said so, even though the urge was so powerful? I am enraged and so confused by my experience.
That sounds awful! I'm sorry you had that experience. 😔
I highly recommend reporting that nurse and midwife. That is unacceptable! I’m so sorry that you went through that. ❤️
Unless you needed medical intervention, they shouldn’t have been denying every single thing you asked to try. If you were in too much pain to even push when your body was saying “PUSH,” then they should’ve dropped their agenda and worked with you on pain relief/alternative positions/laboring techniques/whatever you actually needed; because trying to force you to labor how they wanted was 1) unethical and 2) possibly putting you and baby at higher risk for needing medical intervention. This is what I’m constantly worrying about while pregnant. There were many things in my labor with my first baby that I was blown off about by the OB who delivered. She came in at the last minute (I know that’s typical) but she didn’t even know my name. She kept calling me Linda and insisting that I do things her way because “that’s how she was comfortable delivering the baby.”
I felt violated and even now at my third pregnancy, I’m scared to death someone in the labor room is going to go “I know what’s best for her labor, I’m in charge now” and I’ll have yet another traumatic experience. I would agree that the nurse/midwife need reported. That’s a horrendous way to treat a client, let alone a LABORING MOTHER TO BE.
This wasn't even my experience and I feel like it is hitting hard. No one should have to go through that.
I was on vacation and missed the live! I wanted to ask you a question I hoped you could answer! I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant and my doctor no longer offers sonograms after 20 weeks! At my 20 week scan they said she was measuring ahead and was larger than average! How does my doctor determine the size my baby will be at birth and also if she’s breeched or not? She’s been breached my whole pregnancy as far as I know! ❤️❤️
I was told by my midwife that people with PTSD from sexual assault, can be triggered when they feel the baby's head pressing down going into the vaginal canal. Do you have experience with this?
Do you think it would be dangerous for and obese mother to lose weight during the pregnancy? Just by eating healthier and 30 min exercise. No crazy dieting. I’m obese and had just started trying to lose weight making healthier food choices and exercising when I found out I was pregnant.
I am obese and have lost almost 25 lbs during pregnancy. My OB said he was " thrilled and very pleased " with some weight loss during pregnancy. Baby is ok because of all our fat in the abdomen.
Can you talk about anal fisures during labor? I had one when I gave birth to my son and now I am terrified of having one again with my second baby
I love all of your videos! They’ve been helping me throughout my pregnancy and I’m about to hit 36 weeks!
I have a question: do belly support bands or tighter underwear affect the process of the baby dropping?
My underwear are getting so snug on me and when I sit down they get tighter underneath my belly.
I’ve had three babies and had to get induced (past my due date) with all three. Do some people just struggle to go into labor, or is it just bad luck? I’m 35 weeks pregnant with my 4th and I’m a very active person, but I’m nervous I’m going to have to be induced again. I feel like my body has failed me so far.
Hey, I am 7 weeks postpartum and it's my 6th baby, and have been induced with 4, so I was thinking for sure I would have to be induced again. I went into labor myself at 39 weeks with my last baby!! It was so much better, that I didn't even think I was in active labor going to get checked out in the hospital, cause I wanted an epidural before it was to late. And when I got checked I was 9cm!!! Me and my husband were shocked cause I still wasn't sure if it was actually active labor, though when checking me my doctor found out baby was breech and I ended up with my first c section. And with watching all of Sarah video I was totally calm with the sudden change of plans, flex and flow, but I still was so pleased that I went into labor myself. They only thing I did differently was sit on the birth ball the last 2 weeks and swaying my hips a lot, I did not do that with my other pregnancies. I would like to know why this labor was so painless compared to my other's which were so unbelievably intense and unbearable. Wish you all the best with your pregnancy and labor!!

if you tore during your first birth are you more likely to tear for your second?
You sound like DJ Tanner from the Full House
18wks. History of macrosomia (1st was over 10# at 39wks). OB is already talking about inducing early because this baby is following in their siblings footsteps size-wise. Do I have any options? Can I do anything to keep this baby smaller?
No history of gestational diabetes and only gain about 20#/pregnancy.
Would a birth ball be good for someone with hypertonic pelvic floor dysfunction? I’m 25 weeks as well. But maybe just in general?
Can you talk about debris in the amniotic fluid? I had a sub chorionic hemorrhage at 16 weeks, at my 20 week scan they found debris in the fluid, other than that baby was perfectly healthy but I'm worried since they didn't give me any information 😪
I am 38 weeks and 4 days. Had my cervical examination yday and doc said I have a high pelvis. What does it mean? This is my second pregnancy. My first was a vaginal delivery after induction at 40 weeks.
My epidural didn't work with my most recent birth but i had it done at 7cm (i was 4 only two hours before so i didn't want it too early) and when i was checked an hour later due to it not working, i was ready to push. I think i was too far gone for it to get to work 😂
Does anyone like birthing stools? Its like a big pan you sit in to birth your baby. To be honest, I have never seen one before. ...my midwife tried to put me on one to have my baby and it was quite uncomfortable. There was no back support. Has anyone else used one of these for birth, if so, let me know how to use them because I just had a traumatic experience with it. I couldn't relax enough to birth my baby. Sarah please give us info on birthing stools and how to use them.
Do you have a way for parents to find bundle birth nurses local to them?
I have a question. A couple years ago I fractured my pubic ramus and tore a muscle (I can't remember which) in my inner/upper thigh. I got treatment for it but it still sometimes gets sore. My husband and I recently started talking about starting a family and I'm worried that childbirth might reinjure me. Is that a possibility?
Hi Sarah, I've been following you for quite a while, I find your advises and suggestions are really helpful, but I recently received a news from my doctor which leads me to the questions below: I live in Finland, and I'm currently 37+1 week pregnant, my baby girl is in frank breech position like a V shape in my uterus facing my left, ECV did not succeed, and MRI scan shows that vaginal birth is feasible, my question is: if I take your recommanded technique of 'how to avoid tearing' published on CZcams to allow my uterus to contract more= to give it more time for my vagina to stretch, will my baby suffocate if the whole body is out and only the head is left inside? What are other complications that I should taking into account? What's better or safer for the baby - a C section or vaginal birth? And, do breech babies also 'drop' in pelvis like babies in normal head down position? Thanks a lot!
I’m not a doctor/nurse/midwife but from what I’ve read, the baby wouldn’t suffocate as long as the umbilical cord is attached and isn’t being pinched. They continue to receive oxygen from the cord throughout birth, I don’t think that’s any different for breech births? I would hope if something was going wrong during delivery that your doctor would advise you though. Best of luck with your delivery!
@@sabrinalinn1678 Thank you for your opinion and good wishes 😊👍🏻
Haha I can’t get over how you pronounced my Instagram name.
Lol you asked a great question nonetheless- wanted to know this
