7 Things you should avoid in Labor if you want to dilate faster - How to speed up cervical Dilation
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 08. 2021
- Did you know that there are things which can slow down your cervical dilation in labor? Some of them are actually pretty basic and yet many women are not aware that they should be avoided in order to dilate faster during labor.
So, in this video, Nathalie Kaufmann, Pregnancy & Birth Consultant and TCM Therapist, and Mathias Ritter, Researcher and Science Geek, explain the 7 things that you should avoid when you are in labor if you want to dilate faster and want to speed up the first stage of labor.
First of all, there are things that you do or do not do during labor which can make it more difficult for your baby to descend in your pelvis. As a result, there is gonna be less pressure on your cervix and your dilation can slow down. Moreover, there are things that can influence your hormones during labor. In other words, these hormones may interfere with your labor hormones which could either slow down labor or produce less effective uterine contractions. Both will slow down your cervical dilation and prolong the first stage of labor.
Finally, they also explain why continuous monitoring of your baby may not only slow down your labor and your dilation. It could also do more harm than good according to scientific research.

FREE MINI BIRTHING COURSE:
Please note: in our free mini birthing course, we no longer teach how a baby moves through the birth canal. Instead, we teach how to use your breathing in order to support baby's descent in the birth canal.
In fact, we show you with the help of a measurement device, how “good” and “bad” breathing techniques affect your body and labor.

In addition, we invite you to download our labor preparation and induction guide here (bit.ly/3JIu8v9) in which we show you how to prepare your cervix for labor! This will help you increase your chances of a spontaneous start of labor!

Thanks so much for watching! 😊 After we have received so much positive feedback about our video on the things that you can do to dilate faster during labor (czcams.com/video/meoul9vuddk/video.html), we also wanted to inform you about the things that you should avoid - if you want to dilate faster during labor. This is what this video is all about!
Hello guys. Just wanted to say that you guys are truly awesome and a huge help to us soon to be mommies. You are both funny, adorable and a breath of fresh air in all this waiting game after 40 weeks (lol... obviously my personal dilemma here). Keep doing all you are doing, because you guys are really doing so much good and I want you guys to know that, TRULY!! 😊
@@Mrs.Pena-1 Oh, that's just INCREDIBLY SWEET of you to say!! 🥰 Thanks SO MUCH for your lovely words!! 😊😘 We really really appreciate your feedback and it makes us very happy and grateful to hear that you find our content helpful! ❤️😊😘
Regarding your situation:
If you have a soft cervix, nipple stimulation could really help you go into labor. If, on the other hand, your stress levels are very high at the moment, then acupuncture could help (not only to relax, but also to induce labor - if stress holds labor back). And finally, exercises on a birth ball are always a great way to help with contractions (IF you are allowed to exercise of course)... So, maybe one of these things can help you too? 😊
We wish you ALL THE BEST for the upcoming delivery, for you and your baby!! We are sending you LOTS of positive thoughts!! ❤️❤️
Keep up the great work ,🔥

I was very stressed and scared of induction and feel like that fear is what has been stopping my contractions. So I have stopped focusing on fear and stress and just made myself as happy and relaxed as I could today. The contractions have since come extremely strongly tonight. I have also been eating 4-5 mujool dates the last 4 days as well.
Oh fantastic! So you DO have strong contractions already!! That's GREAT to hear!! 🥳🥳
Yes, you are doing it absolutely the right way: get rid of all your fears and worries, because they can interfere with labor! You don't need them! Everything will be fine! 😊❤️
I have that feeling that the next message you send us will be when you have your baby in your arms... 😊😊
@@CareAboutLittleOnes shortly after doing all the acupuncture exercises and going to sleep my water broke!! Heading to the hospital tonight!! Thank you for your help!
@@mailboxxy Oh!! That's wonderful! It's great to hear that our acupressure helped you with that!!
Actually, acupressure can normally not induce labor. However, we still see it work regularly in cases when a woman is just "SUPER READY" for labor - I mean their body... 😊😊👍
@@CareAboutLittleOnes she ended up being 10 pounds!! But had to be vacuumed out of me because she was so large I ended up pushing for ten hours.. she then had to be flown to an emergency NICU for a head hematoma, but I believe in her little recovery babies are vigilant. They told me I'll have to be in hospital to recover for three days and then I can travel to see my baby. ❤️ They also told me that if the baby was in really real danger they would call me and papa. So like mama, baby and mama are in recovery mode. Still thank you I believe your videos helped me get through this!
@@mailboxxy 10 pounds!! That's a quite a bit! No surprise you ended up pushing for so long!
Anyways, first of all: CONGRATULATIONS on your baby!! 🥰🥰 And we really hope that both, you and your baby (and of course papa) are doing well and that you recover as fast as possible from such a long delivery!! We are sure, everything will be fine!!
We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤🥰 Enjoy every minute with that sweet little thing!!

We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️
Hi I'm new here, I love your videos ❤️💕
I'm scheduled for induction tomorrow but following your tips on how to naturally induce labour has really helped me for a week now. I've began dilating. My question is will I still need to be induced and secondly, what kind of food should I eat please?
Thanks
Hi there 😊,
thanks so much for your lovely feedback!! We are very happy to hear that you find our content helpful! 😊🥰
Regarding your question:
Please understand that we are not in the position to tell you, if you are gonna need an induction or not. This is really something that only your doctor can tell you (i.e. the person who is familiar with your pregnancy case). Inductions are mostly done for medical reasons that require that baby to get out of there.
We can only tell you this: if your doctor presses for an induction but you think it's not based on solid reasons, get a second opinion by another doctor!
As for foods: if you started to dilate already, you really don't need to worry much about what foods to eat. Normally, we recommend dates (unless there are medical reasons why you cannot eat them). However, they can only help soften the cervix but not dilate it. And apparently, your cervix IS soft already.
So, if you are dilating already, you really don't need to worry. Your body is already on it! And if your baby is also in a good position for labor AND engaged, then chances are that you will soon go into labor... 😊
So again, we can only recommend talking with your doctor again, if an induction is really required or if it is possible to wait for a natural start of labor - given the fact that you already started to dilate...
We hope this helps! 😊
We wish you ALL THE BEST for the upcoming birth, for you and your baby!! ❤️
Thanks very much for the feedback 💖💕

Hey, please guide us about a baby havy a loop of cord around the neck, because I'm having this type , so I'm scaring of this situation, can I do try to induce labour by ourselves or not
Hi there 😊,
please note that a single loop of cord around your neck does not necessarily mean that there are gonna be complications. You can normally still have a vaginal birth. And it is normally also possible to try to naturally induce labor, unless of course, your doctor tells you otherwise.
So, please don't worry about that! 😊
We hope this helps!
We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️
Can u make some video on pelvic exercises or exercises to ease labour
Hi there! 😊
We did already 😊
In this video (czcams.com/video/SqInGwou5v0/video.html) we show you exercises to relieve pelvic pain. And in this video (czcams.com/video/2ro-ytHfEnA/video.html), we show you exercises for an easier and faster labor...

Your videos are so inspiring.. Thanks so much.
So my question is this, am 38weeks presently, and i went for cervical sweeping earlier today, immediately that was done, i saw a thin blood in my down there, in the evening i noticed i lost my mucus plug and started feeling contractions in my back and pelvic area.. I called my midwife and she came to examine me and asked me to wait till the next morning...
Is it safe yo wait,?
Hi there 😊,
many women see SOME (!) blood after a sweep, mostly in combination with the loss of their mucus plug. Cramps and even contractions are also often reported. In fact, it happens very often, that a sweep leads to the start of labor.
However, to be clear: if you experience heavy bleeding, or "fresh" blood (we say "fresh" because the mucus plug often has a brown color which is because of "old" blood which has been in there for longer - which is okay), or if you experience severe pain, then we do recommend contacting your midwife again or going to the hospital!
We hope this helps! 😊
We wish you ALL THE BEST for the upcoming birth, for you and your baby!! ❤️
Hye, I am at 39 week, i lost my mucus plug today and had a bloody show but no labour pains, it's my second baby, plz tell me what to do for labor pains

Really useful ... Wish i saw this video before my emergency c section...
You can not control anything even if you knew all this!
I had natural labor a month ago, nothing was like on this video.
@@lenamatt3387 that's ryt..I researched a lot and did so many things for normal delivery .. but even after that c section was found to b best at the last moment for safety of the baby and me.. Can't say till end .. better we just trust our drs..
Hi there! ❤️
We are sorry that you had an emergency C-section! Well sometimes, there is just nothing that you can do about it because there are many factors which play a role during a delivery. And because of that, sometimes, you end up in a C-section even though you did everything you can to prepare for birth!
We hope though, that you are already feeling better and that you recover fast!
We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby! ❤️
Hi Lena! ❤️
Poor you!! 😟 This does not sound very encouraging! Did you end up in a C-section too? What happened?
We hope that both, you and your baby are well!! ❤️
@@CareAboutLittleOnes thank you for the kind and assuring words.. I'm healing from it and soon will get over it ... 🙂
Talking about stress may be I'm in some stress I'm really afraid what will happen on my delivery day and when will I deliver my baby
Hi there 😊,
it depends on how much stress we are talking about. It is absolutely normal to feel some degree of stress. "Nervous" stress can actually help you induce labor.
What we don't want is stress that is based on fear, for instance. Because it's that kind of stress which can slow down things or prevent things from happening...
😊
Hi there! Thank you for your videos! I am 35 weeks pregnant with my second and have a question. My first birth I did not have any pain up until I was 8cm dilated and I was only 2 hours pushing. Is there probability that my second labor will be similar and not have so much pain?Thanks!! ❤❤
Hi there 😊,
in our experience, if you hardly experienced any pain during the dilation phase of your first delivery, it is likely to happen during your second labor too. At least, this is what we NORMALLY observe (exceptions are always possible) although we have to add that in many of those cases, those women were already quite dilated even before labor started... And we cannot tell in how far this plays a role...
Still: some women either seem to have a very high pain tolerance or there are certain factors which make the whole dilation phase a lot more bearable to them. And when that's the case, it seems to apply to every delivery, not just the first one.
That said, whether or not the PUSHING phase will go as smooth as during your first delivery also depends on other factors, such as the size of your baby. However, in general, second deliveries go much smoother and faster because your body has done this before.
So again: NORMALLY we would expect that your second labor will be similar. But of course, exceptions are possible...
We hope this helps! 😊
We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️
@@CareAboutLittleOnes thank you soo much for your reply!! 🙏 love from Puerto Rico 🥰❤️❤️
@@mariange88 You are MOST WELCOME! Sending lots of love back from London to beautiful Puerto Rico!! ❤❤
Hello! I am 38 week 4 days pregnant. I feel contraction since last night but did not dilate. I was 1 finger dilated a week before and now my cervix is completly closed. Midwife done cervix examination and said pains without cervical progress may lead to c section. What should i do go for c section or wait. I feel pressure down there and regular contraction. What should i do in your recommendation? My first baby born through c section this is my second baby and i want vaginal birth.
Hi there 😊,
did your midwife confirm that you are in labor? Because only when you are in (active) labor and you do not dilate (OR when there are medical problems), THEN you may end up in a C-section.
Just because you have some contractions does not mean that you are in labor. Maybe you are in pre-labor? Maybe in early labor? And in those stages, you do not always dilate.
Just 2 weeks ago, we had the case of a woman who was in active labor for 3 hours without any dilation (she was 0 dilated). And then, her dilation suddenly started to progress like crazy... She ended up giving birth to a perfectly healthy baby in a normal delivery.
Does this information help you? 😊
We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️
" the female bladder has the capacity of about 400-600ml" ... i'm 5'2 with a short torso and have lost 1kg by emptying my bladder before. so definitely can be more than 400-600ml
Hi there!
First of all, these are average numbers. And as always when it comes to statistics, AVERAGE means that it does not apply to all people. It can also mean that some people have a considerably higher or lower capacity.
Second, the bladder is a distensible organ. It can store considerably more if need be.
We wish you all the best for you and your baby!
It's been a week since I had my 1st I.E i am 39 weeks pregnant now and 1cm as a result of I.E.. I had I.E. today and it's 1.5cm. what should I do to open more my cervix. My due date is oct. 26,2021. I do squats and walking everyday. :( But still it doesn't open more. Thank you
Hi there 😊,
please don' be discouraged just yet! First of all, on average, a pregnancy lasts between 38 and 42 weeks. So maybe, your body just needs more time.
Second, the biggest part of your dilation happens when you are in labor. But it is different from woman to woman when exactly she goes into labor.
That said, there are ways to support that process. In fact, there are several things which have helped other women at this point who were in similar situations:
1. Nipple stimulation (just keep in mind that it may not be done with a few minutes per day)
2. Reflexology (same as nipple stimulation: it may not be done with a few minutes per day only)
3. Acupuncture (this can work particularly well if your stress levels are really high; and please note: it has to be acupuncture; acupressure would most probably not help in your case)
4. Exercises on a birthing ball
Of course, there is also Castor oil. However, personally, we always treat Castor oil as last resort simply because of the side effects. Also, you can never be sure if it is going to work... Still, it CAN be super effective for labor induction.
We talk more about these tools and also how to apply them in these 2 videos: czcams.com/video/8rehbupwhzY/video.html (reflexology, nipple stimulation, Castor oil)
czcams.com/video/UgrbOc4cebY/video.html (birth ball exercises)
Finally, please also try to relax as good as possible! We know, it's not easy. But please try not to put too much pressure on yourself because this would just cause a lot of stress! And stress COULD prevent you from going into labor. So please, try to find ways to relax (meditation, yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, a back massage - whatever you find most relaxing!) And please trust that everything will be fine eventually!
We hope this helps! 😊
We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️
Eat lots of dates if you're not diabetic. Raw organic honey also helps with dialation. If this is your first baby, you may go a few days past 9 months to be able to give birth, it's only normal. Let us know how the delivery went whenever it does :)
Hello dears, why I didn't get you earlier? May God bless you for effort to help us. Ameen
May God bless my also to recover soon, Ameen.
That's very kind of you to say!! We just wished we could do more for you and your wife! 🙁
We are sending you lots of positive thoughts!! ❤️❤️
My first child was an emergency c-section I have been informed by the doctors that I have no choice but to be on fetal monitor the whole time because of previous c-section. Is there something I can do to reduce the stress on baby?

yes, in case of a VBAC, it IS recommended to monitor the baby. And yes, there is something that you can do to reduce the stress on your baby: breathing!
That's because breathing increases the oxygen supply to the baby during a contraction. And this can reduce the stress on the baby...
Check out our mini birthing course about breathing that you can find on our website: www.careaboutlittleones.com
We hope this helps! 😊
We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️
Absolutely find a different doctor. That doctor isn't trying to help you in anyway. Their just trying to line their pockets
I will have induction of labour on 13th December due to high sgot and sgpt. Will follow this video. I will be 37 weeks that day. Little scared. Please let me know if anything else I can do to deliver a healthy baby. I do Birth ball exercise, yoga
Hi there 😊,
we can totally understand that you are scared. However, please keep in mind that MILLIONS of women are induced every year and give birth to perfectly healthy babies. Sometimes, there is just no way around an induction, even though we try everything in our power to avoid one...
If you do birth ball exercises and yoga, and the things that we show in this video, then you do already a GREAT job preparing for labor! If you are allowed to eat dates, you could also eat dates plus try acupressure (which we show in this video: czcams.com/video/8rehbupwhzY/video.html). Both has an effect on your cervix and can help increase your Bishop score. A high Bishop score is very beneficial for an induction because then, your cervix is "readier" for labor...
Finally, if you don't do so already, you could also do a perineal massage. It cannot only help protect your perineum. Studies also show that it can help shorten the second stage of labor (the pushing phase): czcams.com/video/9mohlz-YUoM/video.html
Apart from that: stay positive! Don't think about the induction. Focus on that very moment when you will hold your sweet little baby in your arms! 🥰
We wish you ALL THE BEST for the upcoming birth, for you and your baby!! ❤️
@@CareAboutLittleOnes thank you so much for your response. I will definitely follow whatever you guided me. Thanks a lot.
@@mitaroy5337 You are MOST WELCOME!! We are happy if our answer has helped you!!
Im gettin induced due to my high blood pressure. I went to the doctor today and ive been stressed and with no contractions today. & all week ive been having them untill today none 😏
Hi there 😊,
there is a simple reason for it: your stress levels! Unfortunately, this is something we see all the time. Women have contractions when they are home and relaxed. Then there is an event that causes stress in them (like seeing their doctor). And just like that, their contractions are gone.
It is a natural mechanism in your body that is supposed to shut down labor in case your body senses any danger. Of course, a doctor's visit is not a real danger. But your autonomous nervous system treats it the same way...
Don't worry! As soon as you are relaxed again, they are gonna come back. And maybe, you won't need an induction then anymore...
We wish you ALL THE BEST for the upcoming birth, for you and your baby!! ❤️
I am not dialated at 38 weeks and cervix is closed and dr said bishop findings are poor.

I'm a new subscriber here. I wanted to ask if you choose epidural, how can you deliver + gravity when you are all the time in bed?
Hi there Adisa 😊,
welcome to our channel and thanks so much for subscribing! 😊
It's difficult to make use of gravity if you have an epidural. 😬 However, the good news is that there are still ways to keep moving - even when you are confined to bed - in order to speed up labor and in order to make it easier for your baby to descend. And you would do that by frequently changing your position in bed. We explain how in this video: czcams.com/video/HCMmuTsBRjg/video.html
We hope you find it helpful! 😊

it's a difficult topic... Unfortunately, there is not much research on it. Moreover, it was shown in several animal trials that it can have a toxic effect on the fetus. Of course, this does not mean that that also applies to humans. However, we would be very careful with it.... Better be safe than sorry...

Is it okay to eat during labour? What are the advisable food?and if ever that a pregnant is dialated already like 2-3cm but don't feel any pain is that still a labour shall go to hospital right away?
Hi there 😊,
yes, it is absolutely okay to eat during labor as long as it is easy digestible food. Stay away from greasy food!
Please note that a dilation of 2-3cm does not mean that you are in labor. Watch out for those strong contractions that come every 5 minutes....

Hello.
I'm 39 weeks by LMP .but 36 and 5 days by scanning.
What should I consider
Please answer .
Thanks
Hi there! 😊
It depends a bit: in which pregnancy week did they do the ultrasound exam?
If they did it sometime before week12/13, then it is advisable to go for the EDD of that scan. If, on the other hand, the scan was done recently, then it might be better to go for the LMP approach. We explain why in this video: czcams.com/video/2mLqwcnqvdI/video.html

I would like to know the differences between pitocin and oxytocin
Hi there 😊,
it's actually quite simple: pitocin is just the synthetic version of oxytocin. In other words: if you go into labor spontaneously, your body will produce oxytocin. If they medically induce you, you will get pitocin (unless they use other means to medically induce you, like synthetic prostaglandins etc.)...
We hope this helps! 😊
We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️
I had this video saved to my watch later but ended up going into labor before I could watch it! I was dilated to 7cm within 5 hours, then got an epidural. I dilated to 9 cm within the next hour but the last centimeter took another 5 hours! Love your videos, thank you! Very cute couple
Hi there! 😊
First of all, CONGRATULATIONS from the 2 of us on your newborn!!! 🥳🥳🥳 We hope you both are well and that you are recovering well from your delivery! 😊❤️
Thanks SO MUCH for sharing your case!! It's interesting to see how different women experience labor in different ways. Can we ask: did you have a walking epidural? In other words, were you able to move during the last stage of labor? Or did you have to stay in bed?
If you did have to stay in bed, this COULD be the reason why labor slowed down or why your contractions became less effective during the final stage of labor. We will never know. But it does not matter because all that counts is that you are now able to hold your sweet little baby in your arms!! 🥰
We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! 😍 Enjoy every minute and try to find some rest too!! ❤️😊😘
P.S.: We are very happy and grateful that you like our videos - thanks SO MUCH for your feedback!! 😊
@@CareAboutLittleOnes I wasn't aware that walking epidural was a thing! Otherwise I would have preferred to labor that way instead of laying in bed for the last 5 hours. If only I could have handled the pain I'm sure labor would have gone by a lot quicker. But I was relieved to have a break for a few hours, then I was ready to get the baby out of me because I kept having the shakes.

At 35weeks 5 days I took a scan and my baby is 3.5kg now am 39 weeks and am scared the baby is getting big the more I wait. I've had two normal delivery in the past, PLS what can I do to have normal delivery till now no sign of labor or anything
Hi there Josephine 😊,
first of all, it is important that you try to relax! Understandably, you are completely stressed out that you cannot have a normal delivery. However, it could be that stress which prevents you from going into labor in the first place. You have to trust that your body knows exactly what it is doing. 😊
Second, please note that in second and third pregnancies, it is not uncommon for women not to experience any symptoms of labor at all for the longest time. And then all of a sudden, everything goes super fast.
Only recently, we met a woman (second-time mom) who told us that she was going to work in the morning, no signs of labor whatsoever. And by 8pm in the evening (on the same day), she held her baby in her arms 😊.
So, as we said, it can go REALLY fast! You only need a little bit more patience! And then you will finally hold your sweet little baby in your arms!!
That said, some things which have helped other women in similar situations are the following:
1. Nipple stimulation (just keep in mind that it may not be done with a few minutes per day)
2. Reflexology (same as nipple stimulation: it may not be done with a few minutes per day only)
3. Acupuncture (this can work particularly well if your stress levels are really high; and please note: it has to be acupuncture; acupressure would most probably not help in your case)
4. Exercises on a birthing ball
Of course, there is also Castor oil. However, personally, we always treat Castor oil as last resort simply because of the side effects. Also, you can never be sure if it is going to work... Still, it CAN be super effective for labor induction.
We talk more about these tools and also how to apply them in these 2 videos: czcams.com/video/8rehbupwhzY/video.html (reflexology, nipple stimulation)
czcams.com/video/UgrbOc4cebY/video.html (birth ball exercises)

Hi there! 😊
For some reason, your comment was marked as SPAM (we have no idea why...). Therefore, we have not yet responded to it! I have now approved the comment so that you can see it below this video.
Thanks SO MUCH for your lovely comment!! Yes, I fully agree! Nathalie is a super sweet lady and I too love her voice very much! 🥰
Yes, so, normally, we start preparing a woman for labor from week 37 onwards with dates and acupressure. The goal is to help the body soften the cervix because once the cervix is soft, it can then focus on the next task, which is thinning the cervix out and dilating it. So this should be the first step.
Do you know if your cervix is soft already?
In general, please note that week 37 is very early for most women. Most women deliver their baby some time between week 38 and week 42. Therefore, you have to be a bit more patient! But don't worry: things can sometimes go really really fast! Don't worry too much and try to relax! It's much more helpful than worrying 😊
There is also a video in which we teach things that you can to speed up things: czcams.com/video/8rehbupwhzY/video.html However, please note that all these tools can do is increase your chances of going into labor spontaneously. They can also speed up the time until you go into labor however please note that you will only go into labor once your body is ready for it. Nature takes time!
We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!

Hii I'm 34 weeks now..doctor said the babys unbilical cord is around his neck .can you please tell me what I can do to have a normal delivery ?
Hi there 😊,
please note that a baby can NORMALLY be born, even with the cord around the neck... The only problem is that doctors often don't want to take that risk, because their COULD be complications. And if the hospital is not equipped for emergency C-sections then doctors are even more reluctant to letting you have a normal delivery.
That said, unfortunately, there is nothing that you can do here. Sometimes, the situation resolves by itself. But we are not aware of any exercises or tools which can help here...
Did you talk with your doctor? Will they let you try having a normal delivery?
We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby! ❤️
My baby was born just fine with the cord wrapped around her neck twice. Not saying that’s the case for everyone, but it’s definitely possible. They can just monitor the baby’s heart rate closely, which is typically done automatically.

Moreover, please also try to relax as good as possible! We know, it's not easy. But please try not to put too much pressure on yourself because this would just cause a lot of stress! And stress COULD prevent you from going into labor. So please, try to find ways to relax (meditation, yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, a back massage - whatever you find most relaxing!)

Hi there 😊,
hiccups in babies are totally normal. However, in very very very rare cases, they COULD mean that cord is somehow compressed.
That said, according to OBs, this might only be a problem if your baby has hiccups frequently throughout the day, like 4+ times per day.
So, please do not worry too much! However, as always, if you are concerned, please consult your doctor! It's the only right thing to do!

if you have had some contractions already, then it is normally easier to get them going or even intensify them with the help of nipple stimulation. This has helped many women in the same situation.

Plz reply fast as my doc asked me for delivery on Monday that is 18th oct 2021 ..I want normal delivery.
Hi there! 😊
First of all, please note that sometimes, a baby's head only engages once the mother is in labor. Admittedly, it mostly happens in second pregnancies, but it can absolutely happen in first pregnancies too.
That said, there are ways to help the baby engage. The two exercises which could help with that are:
1. Pelvic rocking on a birth ball (which we explain in this video: czcams.com/video/X3sOObqZHrY/video.html).
2. Deep squats
Finally, please try to relax too! So far, you are "only" 38 weeks pregnant. On average, a pregnancy lasts between 38 and 42 weeks! So, at this point, there is absolutely no need to worry. There is still plenty of time for your baby to engage and for your body to go into labor (unless there are medical reasons for an induction of course)...

Does baby moves after fixing head in pelvis
Hi there! 😊
From week 28 onwards, a baby in the womb is always supposed to move and show some activity. Also, a baby may touch ligaments and nerves in the pelvis once baby has engaged which can cause the vaginal pain that you are feeling. These are called "lightening crotches" and can be normal when your baby has engaged in your pelvis.
That said, as a rule of thumb, we recommend talking to your doctor if a baby drops before week 36 because in very very rare cases, it could also be a sign of preterm labor. However, this is really only just a precautionary measure just to make sure that your baby is well!
We hope this helps!

3cm dilated and have felt no pain whatsover. No contractions.. am I in labor or not really?
Hi there 😊,
if you don't feel any contractions, you are most likely not in labor (we say most likely because we also had cases of women who WERE in labor although they did not know it. They only had "a funny feeling in their tummy" (that's a quote) 😅)...
Please note that sometimes, a woman can also get stuck at a certain dilation. And then it only progresses once labor has started. However, we really would not worry too much because women who are dilated to such a degree as yourself even BEFORE labor starts normally don't have any problems with a spontaneous start of labor... It's just a matter of time...

Sometimes women go through a period of prolonged pre-labor or early labor. When that's the case, dilation can go really slowly...
However, there ARE things which a woman can try in such cases. Based on our observations, the 4 most effective tools in such a situation can be:
1. Nipple stimulation (just keep in mind that it may not be done with a few minutes per day)
2. Reflexology
3. Acupuncture (this can work particularly well if your stress levels are really high; and please note: it has to be acupuncture; acupressure would most probably not help in your case)
4. Exercises on a birthing ball
Of course, there is also Castor oil. However, personally, we always treat Castor oil as last resort simply because of the side effects. Also, you can never be sure if it is going to work...
We explain more about these tools and also how to apply them in these 2 videos: czcams.com/video/8rehbupwhzY/video.html (reflexology, nipple stimulation)

We hope this helps!
We wish you ALL THE BEST for the upcoming birth and that things go much faster for you from here on onwards! ❤️
In my country you aren't allowed a birth partner. You have to do it all by yourself surrounded by strangers. 😑
Oh that's very sad to hear! 🙁 Can we ask which country you live in?
A woman shouldn't be forced to do this all by herself!! 🙁 She should get all the support she wants!
We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️
@@CareAboutLittleOnes Jamaica in a public hospital. Private hospitals allow one support person but even with insurance the costs are ridiculous.... Thank you. I've done it twice before, I can do it again. It still sucks though.
@@emBraceSinghlife It's really very sad that it's always about the money... 🙁🙁
But as you say: you have done it twice, you can do it again!! 😊😊
Same in Nigerian
@@aminamuhammad2637 ☹️ Sorry to hear that! That's really tough!! A woman should be allowed to have a person of trust next to her to support her during labor!!
What about walking after water bag breaks
Hi there 😊,
you can walk after your water breaks. However, keep in mind that your baby is no longer protected from infections. Because of that, they normally induce you if you have not gone into labor within 24 hours after your water breaks. So, please talk with your midwife and ask her about the next steps!
Thank you! 😊
We wish you ALL THE BEST for the upcoming birth, for you and your baby!! ❤️

My sister is 38weeks pregnant.she went for ultrasound and it was discovered that cord is around the baby's neck.please must she under go C-section?? Or is it that dangerous??? Please reply.she is very tense
Hi there 😊,
our sincere apologies for the late reply! We have had some severe technical issues over the past 4 days which is why we were unable to answer any comments...
Regarding your question:
Please note that a single cord around baby's neck is not necessarily a reason to worry. And it is not necessarily a reason to have a C-section either. In fact, most of the times, the baby can still be born in a normal delivery. But of course, it also depends on other factors.
Did her doctor tell her that she requires a C-section because of that?
@@CareAboutLittleOnes she gave birth today safely and with the cord around his 🙏
@@mankaedith2855 Oooooh, that's fantastic to hear!! 😊 Thanks SO MUCH for sharing this with us!
CONGRATULATIONS to your sister on her newborn from the 2 of us!!! 🥳🥳🥳 And congratulations to you for becoming an aunt!! 😊😘

See answer below! 😊
@@CareAboutLittleOnes I have one doubt
My lmp is dec 8 2020
May I know how many weeks pregnant i am
@@shirishasrisailam7494 Assuming that you had a 28 days cycle, your EDD would be 14th of September. Meaning that you would be 34 weeks pregnant... 😊
We hope this helps! 😊
@@CareAboutLittleOnes tysm dear
But some are saying v should count the weeks from lmp
According 2 my scanning report im 33weeks and 5days pregnant
According 2 healofy app im 34weeks and 3days pregnant
By counting weeks from lmp im 35weeks pregnant
36weeks should b started from sunday
Dis is my first pregnancy
Counting weeks r very confusing for me
@@shirishasrisailam7494 Hi there! 😊
Okay, we see the problem!
Well, first of all, please note that the most reliable way to know the EDD is by an ultrasound before week 12.
If they did not give you an EDD based on an ultrasound, then the only thing you can do is using the lmp approach. But you don't need to count the weeks yourself. There are apps and websites out there which do it for you. Just like this one: www.nhs.uk/pregnancy/finding-out/due-date-calculator/
However, please note that you need to know the length of your cycle. If it is anything else then 28 days, you need to type it in so that the program can calculate your EDD accordingly...
We hope this helps you! 😊
If the baby is high and head is not engaged even your cervix is dilating. What are chances of delivering normally during labour?
Hi there 😊,
please note that - in general - you can have a normal delivery, even if your baby's head is not engaged and even if you are not dilated at all. That's because once labor starts, your contractions will take care of these things.
The only question is: will your labor start spontaneously and will your labor progress? So what we mean here is that sometimes, women whose baby is not engaged find it more difficult to go into labor spontaneously (not so much second-time moms, but mostly first-time moms).
That's because in that case, baby's head is not well-applied onto their cervix. As a result, baby's head does not put as much pressure on the cervix, as when baby is engaged. And that pressure can be an important factor to get things started or to make labor progress.
But we would not worry about that because, these are exceptions. You can absolutely have a normal delivery!
We hope this helps! 😊
We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️
Hhhhh mother inlow
I love her
😁😁😁😁
❤❤❤🎉😂
😊 ❤️ 👍
Can you dilate without knowing ☺️FTM 38wks
Hi there! 😊
Absolutely, yes! 😊 Although almost every textbook will tell you that you only start do dilate once you are in true labor, the reality is that many women start to dilate before they are in true labor...
So, yes! 😊
We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby! ❤️
