- You guys know I love to share tips and tricks on how to help people feel more comfortable while they are in the thick of childbirth and labor pain. Those contractions are no joke.
My number one go to, wether this is a natural unmedicated childbirth or the person has an epidural running, is COUNTER PRESSURE. It works SO GOOD for everyone I have ever done it on.
In this video I am going to tell you about counter pressure for:
- early labor
- active labor
- transition
- pushing (YES there is a counter pressure technique you can utilize while you are actively pushing your baby out!!)
Now communication is key because sometimes the counter pressure you apply won't feel good and it won't feel just right so talking partner to support person is so so important. Never forget that!
Here is a video all about unmedicated childbirth in case thats your jam:

This totally works! 7 unmedicated births and this works every time. The best is a water birth plus counter pressure.
I'm sending this to my husband now! Anything that helps with contraction pain at this point will be more than appreciated! It's getting rough!
YES!
Same here! 😂
So glad I watched this before labor. I felt the switch between wanting pressure on my sacrum at the beginning vs the hip squeeze toward the end. I had a lot of back labor and this saved me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
It’s so funny because I had a posterior baby and my doula kept trying to do counter pressure and I could NOT stand it, I asked her to stop! I feel like the only one who hated it 😆
Just had my daughter in June who was facing the sky, so I only had back labor. I didn’t have an epidural and the counter pressure didn’t do much by the end, but it was INCREDIBLE for most of the time.
I also agree with having more than one person to do the counter pressure. My husband and nurse were exhausted after alternating for 6 hours😅
What a stinker!! I had an OP baby too ♥️ congrats! 🎉
We didn't utilize the sacral counter pressure the first time, but during transition (7-10cm), I LOVED the double hip squeeze. I'm 36 weeks and have discussed the sacral pressure for earlier labor with my husband for this go around.
39 weeks and 3 Days. Trying to go through all your videos and i would love to say welldone. You really put in work with editing ❤🎉
I had my husband do hip squeezes with his legs (kind of just above his knees) because if he tried to use his hands, the pressure was too targeted and hurt. It definitely helped 🙂
Smart!!
I'm gonna have to remember this and suggest it to my husband. Thanks for the tip!!
Saving this for fiancé to watch when we have a kid someday. We are a few years away, but this information is so helpful. I have been binging baby info for years now, but I always learn something new watching your videos.
Best video I have seen so far on counter pressure.
You are SO good at this!🎉 I hope you can work in patient education where you are. I’m making a playlist of your videos to save for when my son and his wife have a baby. Sometimes a woman doesn’t want to talk about these things with their mother-in-law. At least in my case, I would still be embarrassed to talk so frankly about pooping or how much bleeding etc until after my firstborn. After that, I didn’t feel timid at all about all the amazing changes our body goes through during pregnancy and birth. We were wonderfully made!
Came for the entertaining shorts, stayed for the info from the long videos.
Keep up the good work!! 😎👍
Oh that's amazing to hear. Thank you!
Love this one ❤
Great video! I am on the path to becoming a doula and this was such a fantastic video for learning techniques. It was very helpful to understand the why behind the different techniques during different stages
Aw, thank you!!
SUCH a good tip! :)
Thanks boo
Wow amazing techniques to try!! I wish i knew them the first time but id be very happy to give natural birth a second try!!
Amazing, thanks for being here!
This is an excellent video! The double hip squeeze was the only thing that worked for me but it really took the edge off, so I never went into laborlalaland! 😂 But yes, my spouse's arms were aching, so maybe this time we'll try using the scarf.
Counterpressure from my doula and my husband was the main thing that got me through the first 30 hours of my 35-hour labor. I had lots of back pain with every contraction and the Hypnobabies techniques I learned were _not_ helpful. (I decided Hypnobabies might be a scam.)
The tub was helpful, but I was only allowed to stay in there 3-4 hours and even in there I still wanted the counterpressure. Around 30 hours in I got an epidural because I was so tired and didn't think I could make it through without a nap. (But I also live in a place where most epidurals only last a couple hours, and they generally don't give top-ups for pushing, so it was important to have other options.)
🙌🏻🙌🏻 teamwork on the counter pressure!
Yay! I've been waiting for this video 😃
It's so cool that there's different counter pressure techniques. It sounds like counter pressure really makes the birthing process more bearable, which is a relief 😌.
I'm wondering, though, if I have an epidural and the pressure starts to happen in my body. Does it hurt? And will the counter pressure help to relieve some of that pain if it does hurt?
This was a great video and was very informative. Thank you so much for making this video! 🙂👍🏻
So I say it doesn’t hurt but it’s uncomfortable if that makes sense. And yes counter pressure would help!
@mamanursetina ahhh, I see. Well, it's good to know it doesn't hurt! 😌
I'm not pregnant nor do I ever want to be but I do enjoy learning about all different things in all subjects. I'm terrified to be a parent. But some of these tips can be good for period pains and cramps.
Knowing the ins and outs of how our bodies work is never a bad thing! I'm 37 weeks pregnant and have been having Braxton Hicks contractions here and there, which feel so much like period cramps that I'm pretty sure I'll definitely be able to take my strategies for managing them into my post-pregnancy life.
One question: is it safe to do this to a person that has scholiosis and ernia?
this video couldn’t have better timing, due tomorrow
Eeeek!! Let us know how it goes!
@@mamanursetina he came on his due date so my partner didn't have time to watch this, but it went great, he's perfect:) thank you so much for your whole channel
@@tracychallice1099 amazing!! Congrats 🎉
I don’t know why but when I am having contractions I don’t like to be touched or anyone talking, I feel like I get distracted, and it ends up hurting more than helping, I like to just do my thing on my own; I do enjoy the support though after I give birth letting me sleep and hubby taking care of the baby 😜
Wish they had counter pressure techniques when I had my son 30 years ago
They are so effective!
Would you recommend counter pressure for moms with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome?
Chat with your provider it might depend on the severity!
PS: 03:53
Love the baby doll whip-out. 😄
Haha, SURPRISE SHORTY
My nurse tried to do this and I told her to get the hell away from me 😂😂😂
Also known as the Gaskin Maneuver???
That’s to resolve a shoulder dystocia. The gaskin maneuver is turning into an all fours position to help release babys arm
3:20 you're welcome
Some people do want to know what types are best when, why it works and all that. I appreciate the shortcut though.
