- Concerned about vaginal tearing during childbirth? So was I and many women as they prepare to deliver their babies. Preventing perineal lacerations is possible, or at least the more severe, 3rd degree and 4th-degree lacerations. In this video, I'm going to talk about different tips on how to prevent perineal tears during childbirth.

About this video: Vaginal tears, also called perineal lacerations, can be a cause for a lot of anxiety for women in their 3rd trimester. So in this video, I will go over a little anatomy, so you can understand where a perineal laceration is. I will also discuss the difference between a 1st degree tear, a 2nd degree tear, a 3rd degree tear and a 4th degree tear. There are some things you can do to prevent a perineal tear. You can start with perineal massages in the middle of your 3rd trimester. This has been shown to help prevent perineal lacerations. I will also discuss when you need vaginal stitches after birth.
I’m 35 weeks today and this is my first pregnancy. I’m having a boy, after 15 years of infertility. God has finally blessed us 💙
Congratulations! I had my son after 11 years of infertility as well. 💙
Congratulations amen! I wish a safe deliver!
Congratulations 👏
It's rude to ask but how old are you? Because it gets difficult with age.
Congratulations 🥳 enjoy your lil bundle of blessings 🙏🏽💞
That is beautiful!
My last baby was a precipitous labor and I gave birth alone in my living room while my other kiddos slept upstairs. As scary as it was initially when I accepted we wouldn't make it to the hospital in time for delivery, it was so much more comfortable and peaceful than my other births just being able to let my body do its thing how it felt best. I delivered her standing and her head came out with a contraction and she was crying before I finished pushing her shoulders out. I nursed her until my parents and paramedics arrived. She was perfect and I didn't tear one bit, I give alot of credit to relaxing and not tensing my muscles in the situation and being able to let my baby and body choose my positioning instead of a doctor.
What an amazing experience.😃 Thank you so much for sharing that with all of us 🙏💜
@@DianaInThePink well if it takes a village to raise a child, then it should at least take a supportive CZcams community to get through pregnancy 😅🤗☺
Amazing… I am due in a couple of weeks and trust God for no tears…
@@ashleychuks You will be amazing! Your body will do whatever it needs to do in order to get your baby out safely and healthy. I wish you a safe & tear free labor! But you will realize no matter how little or grand the scale of your pain during labor it will somehow instantly leave your mind as soon as you hold your beautiful baby.
Bravo!my due date at 3 weeks,It is my first baby,I don´t want C-section , I will do it natural birth but i have a little bit scarry because i haven´t experience,Can you tell me how i´m prepare myself and my body in these weeks to do easily birth my baby ?thanks
I m pregnant after a miscarriage last January. Its my first baby so I'm a little scared about miscarrying once again. I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow .. pray for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby ❤
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Praying you have a Healthy Delivery ❤ My first was stillborn, I lost Her last September and I found out on my due date that I’m pregnant again 11weeks Today 🥹✨
Hoping your pregnancy is going well ❤️ I had a miscarriage due to a seatbelt accident last January and I’m now pregnant again, this January. Also so scared of miscarriage, but putting this baby in God’s hands and being as careful as possible.
Amen, I hope you have your rainbow baby this time ❤️ 🥹 I am now almost 21 weeks and my worries about miscarriage have come better... I feel my baby kicking already ❤️❤️❤️
How are you doing now?
@@brendabenitez7359 I'm actually 2 days away from reaching 30 weeks pregnant.. 🤰it's quite difficult some days but I can definitely say that I'm enjoying the journey... Thank you so much for asking ❤️❤️
German midwife here:
Thank you for this video!! So important for the moms to know this. Especially choosing the right position during birth is so important! Not being flat and horizontal (in supine position on the bed) but upright and in vertical position helps prevent tearing immensely, it also helps bring the baby down much faster and opens up the cervix quicker, due to gravity helping. Thirdly it helps easing the pain, because you are not pushing up (when in supine position you are literally pushing up in the air around you pelvic bones) but when upright you are pushing down, the same direction your baby is heading, which creates less pain. It makes so much sense to choose an upright position! All those movies and videos of women pushing flat on their back with their legs strapped are incredibly unhelpful as a source of information. Please remember this when going into labour and choose positions like standing, squatting, kneeling, all-fours-position or the birthstool.
By the way, labouring in water or a water birth are also preventing tears, because the warm water softens the perineal tissue and helps it stretch better!
Sehr gut beschrieben. Dankeschön ❤
My last baby was a precipitous labor so I ended up giving birth by myself in my living room while my other kiddos were asleep in their beds 😴 I felt so much more comfortable leaning against something or on all 4s while contracting and I ended up birthing my daughter while standing. Lowered my pants to about my knees which helped to support as I caught her. Then I nursed her until my parents arrived to assist along with the ambulance. I didn't tear at all which I feel has alot to do with not being forced to stay in one (unnatural in my opinion) position.
Thank you for the info! Can you pick your position when you're giving birth at hospital? I'm 6 weeks pregnant, my very first time and I have no idea what to expect tbh.
This!!!! You’re absolutely correct!
Thank you so much for the information shared. I'd definitely try to remember this when I get into labor soon
I’m 23 weeks today and it is my first pregnancy. I am pregnant with identical twin boys!!!❤️😁
Kayla. Congratulations 💜 My sister had identical twin boys too. She loved every second of it. So excited for you
That's exciting! Congratulations.
Congratulations mommy,my twin boys are 8 years old and now I just found out am 22 weeks pregnant,I have a scan booked later this week to check if it's a singleton or twins
Congratulations!!! My friend is too with two identical girls 👧 also her first pregnancy!!☺️😩
Awww congratulations
I had a home birth, no paid meds. Baby came quick, only 9 hours. I didn't tear, and i think that's because i didn't push before i was ready. I felt him come down, then shoot back up a few times before the urge to push was so strong i couldn't ignore it. My biggest tip, don't push when you aren't ready to. Your body will tell you when it is time.
🙏🙌💯😊💕
During my first daughter's labor, I was so worried about tearing and POOPING! Lol I remember the doctor telling me I wasn't pushing enough and I blurted out my 2 fears. They told me not to think about that. I pushed her out a few minutes after that. When I was in the recovery room a nurse that was there during my labor came in and said she wanted to let me know I didn't poop or tear. We couldn't stop laughing.
Those are my two biggest fears as well. I think that is probably everyone’s biggest fear. I’m so happy to hear you didn’t do either one! 🎉
You are so lucky. These are my worst fears too. I'm expecting my first baby and I'm so anxious about the delivery.
I'm 14 weeks and according to the NIPT testing I had done I'm having a girl. This is my first pregnancy my husband and I have been trying for a baby for the last 5 & a half years we was told my husband couldn't have kids so I truly believe this is a miracle baby ❤️🤗
Congratulations!! I’m 17 weeks with a boy 😊
I'm 39 years old 32 weeks and 4 days pregnant with a baby girl first timer too,and I'm so excited and nervous Abt the delivery.But I Know We are covered by the blood of Jesus..
Amen!! Congratulations 🎉
I’m 39 too 38 weeks pregnant
Heyy did u conceive naturally?
@@vyaptimehra I did. At 39 years old. I stopped trying and gave up and once I didn’t care boom I’m pregnant and it stuck this time. Life is too crazy. It’s better not to want things sometimes lol
@@vyaptimehra I’m 39 years old and 40 weeks pregnant naturally
I'm watching this video not because I'm pregnant, but because I want to educate myself on this topic. Wishing you all well
same here 🤣😅
Great advice here! I delivered my daughter without any pain medication and I didn’t tear!!! I breathed my baby down and out!! No pushing necessary. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
What position?
Yh what position, because when I had my first baby I got tearing 😥but this time around for my second baby I want to be prepared
I just had mine 2 weeks ago I had a water birth and I breathed too it works 💪
How do you breathe ?
@@daisyromero2481 on CZcams there are many trainings on how to do it. I would say it is similar to the breathing technique you use to blow out candles on a birthday cake 🎂
After 10 years of marriage, God bless us with a baby boy. Today I am 38 weeks +3. I have been watching your week to week videos and they are very helpful. My baby is already head down and hopefully don't want C-section. This video was really what I looking for in this phase of my pregnancy. Thanks 😊
I have had 6 natural births no pain relief and no tears 😊 I squatted for babies 2-6, didn't know about that with my first, it made a massive difference and makes you feel alot more in control.
how many squat per day？with weights？
Thank you for sharing your amazing experiences 💜
@@yij9010 Squatting while giving birth it allows for gravity to work so less chance of tearing.
Did you get stiches after your births... ?
@@ayeshaimran6958 No never had any stitches with any of my six labours.
I just delivered my almost 8 pound baby four days ago with no tearing. I laid on my side up on an incline, and breathe him down and out. I’ve slowly pushed twice to deliver his head, then I stopped pushing and waited for my next contraction to slowly push out his shoulders and then the rest of his body. I worked my best to remain calm, and I believe that staying home and working with my body is what prevented me from tearing. Also, my midwife applied a warm compress to me as I was stretching to help the muscles. We got this ladies!
Thank you for sharing your experience
I teared both times, I find the pain when the head is halfway out unbearable and therefore push hard every time.
Wear did the warm compress go?
@@bellefairydust she applied it to the perineal area during crowning and pushing!
Thanks for your different videos. I’ve learned a lot. I’m due in 6days I’m scared 😟 first pregnancy 🤰 May the Almighty make it easy for all pregnant mama
I had an 11 hour natural birth. I tore a little. Didn’t even feel it. I also didn’t really feel the ring of fire. I encourage everyone to experience a natural birth and to go with the natural flow of your body. Your body naturally pushes for you when you’re ready. I’m 31 weeks with my second and looking forward to this natural birth as well.
Thank you for sharing your experience 💜
When u are in labour what's comes in mind is getting your baby save and we'll , the things like tearing or position of birth doesn't matter , remember u are half mad how can u even think of something s like tearing or whatsoever?
Im 28 weeks today..super excited to meet my baby boy. Praying for a fast dilation, quick labor, unmedicated no tear birth. 🙏
I had a very traumatic hospital transfer from my home birth. It was my first pregnancy and we planned to have a minimally assisted, unmedicated home birth with plan B being a call into the hospital a 3 minute drive away if any complications arise.
After laboring for 22 hours, we checked baby and my son’s butt was coming down -not his head!
We immediately called the hospital, told them we’re on the way with a breech birth.
I was pushing in the car! It’s was hectic.
There was no cord compression! No meconium present when my waters broke. My sons heart rate was normal throughout labor. We were monitored the whole time and we were fine and everything was documented from the time my contractions had started the day before. I just didn’t feel comfortable having an unassisted breech birth.
We arrived at the hospital. They looked between my legs and said: yup! That’s a breech baby.
They completely freaked out!!!
They tried giving me pitocin, they put me on my back! They said my baby was dying! I told them we just listened to his heart 20 minutes ago- it was normal and we handed them the chart we had.
They then tried to hook up the heart monitor but I was pushing. They talked about a C-section but my son was already coming out.
I was screaming at them just let me squat and help me push him out!
They then -all 4 of them- put their hands inside my vagina- stretched me while the 5th person literally just pulled my son out from his hips!
My son was not stuck! They didn’t let me push and didn’t believe anything we said!
From everything I’ve read about delivery- including breech - it’s hands off the breech until the shoulders are born. Then you guide the head out!
What they did was dangerous! My husband was screaming: you’re gonna kill my son! It was terrifying and the pain I experienced as they pulled me open was immense!
My son was born with his eyes open and cried almost immediately! We told them we want delayed cord clamping- they cut him right away.
I am now 11 weeks pregnant and my son is 4.
I told my current midwife what happened. She was upset but told me the staff was probably scared themselves because many are no longer taught how to deliver a breech.
I had all my scans and visits up until 38 weeks. My son was overdue but the last scan he was head down. He turned somehow in the last few weeks.
This time. I’m getting the extra scans to ensure this baby stays head down.
I still have panic attacks when I think about what was done to me and my son.
I ended up with a 3rd degree tear and I was sewn up really tight! I couldn’t have sex for months! I had painful sex for the first 3 years.
Terrible experience.
I’m praying this pregnancy has a redeeming labor and delivery
Omg I'm so sorry you had that traumatic experience 😢 how was your second delivery? I'm considering doing a water birth but scared of any last minute complications and not getting quick enough to hospital
How terrible, I'm sorry you had such a traumatic experience.
God bless my nurse. I pushed for 4 hours and she massaged me the entire time so I wouldn't tear.
Had my baby girl almost 11 months ago now, I didn’t tear fortunately and also no stretch marks. Not planning on having anymore, but I think my labor was kind of easy compared to others experiences that I’ve heard. Thank god😭😂
Im 12 weeks pregnant, this is my second pregnancy after my 9 year old boy so I feel like the first time, but very very different. Hoping all you beautiful moms have a healthy delivery ❤
I’m 11 weeks pregnant with my second and my son is also 9 and feel the same way. I feel like I’m experienced but not at the same time 😅
My doctor checked my “push strength” that was never done to me before. She said she wanted to know how to manage me pushing and she told me to push slowly and she would tell me to stop pushing…it was so smooth
watching these helpful videos are turning my fear into excitement
I am 38 weeks pregnant. This is my second pregnancy after having my first son at 30 weeks. He was 2 pounds 10 ounces. And after many miscarriages and one ectopic that resulted in losing my left Fallopian tube , I am grateful to have made it full term. It is just scary to not know what comes after 30weeks and videos like this are so helpful and educational
So glad you made it to full term this time. I hope you and your family are doing great 🙂
Thanks to God and mother of perpetual help
So happy you had a second baby miracle!
I'm currently 24 weeks pregnant and I'm binge-watching all your videos (more like listening to them while working lol) I hope you create a podcast! Your content's straightforward, fast, and very educational - I LOVE IT! Thank you so much for putting out these info out there for us to learn from. You're awesome!!
I’m pregnant also and have a few weeks left. This information was so helpful. Thank you!
Grateful for all the tips. First time momma here, 33 weeks tomorrow! ❤️
I'm 20 weeks with my second. I had a small labial tear with my first and it truly wasn't that bad. It would sting when I went pee for a couple weeks, but that was about it. My midwife was massaging my perineum with oil the entire time I was pushing. I believe that helped a whole lot
Had my first baby delivered virginally on 7 Jan. 2022, and all the nurses said they were surprised with how fast the deliver went, that there was no tearing, and that I delivered naturally. I thought it was just stuff they said at every delivery so took it with a grain of salt, then realized they were being honest after I started telling friends about the delivery and saw they were all amazed as well. I really got lucky! 😬
You took grains of salt?
@@faizahwhite4515 it’s figurative speech
I’m still in my first trimester but this sort of information is so helpful!!! Tearing has certainly made me nervous
This video is so good!! Informational and yet you provide personal examples. Spot on. You should be getting brand deals. This is a gem.
FTM here! I'm 25 weeks along and I really enjoy your videos! Very informative and helps me feel in control. Thank you for making them. :)
36 weeks along with my very first and this has been one of my biggest fears since about 15 weeks. Seeing this video helped ease that anxiety a bit, not all the way by any means but a little bit 😂
Having my first, I’m nervous as hell to deliver. I’ve been reading and watching videos, I love how you explain things..and the slime illustration was perfect..
Thank you! I’ve struggled with knowing how to do perineal massage and now I can visualize it -makes sense to do it like that.
I'm 30 weeks now with my 2nd child, I'm a little bit nervous, it's been 9 years since I've had my first born but I know I can do it again! God bless everyone.
I'm from Ukraine, almost 41 week, it is my first pregnancy. Thank you for your videos!
I’m only 14 weeks pregnant right now but I just found your videos and I really appreciate your content. I’ve had 2 previous pregnancies and had horrible tearing. I had 14 stitches with the first and 17 with the second.
Love your videos! Thanks for sharing all your valuable insight and knowledge.
I am 34 weeks, today, with our first child. Waited a long time to have children, I’m 41! South African born, living in Brazil! Looking forward to meeting our son soon.
Tearing is and has been one of my biggest fears about being pregnant and the pending delivery. I really appreciated your explanations and tips.
I just had my babygirl 3 weeks ago on Valentines Day 💖...wish this video came out sooner lol I had tears with her and with my son last Feb, had to get stitched up both times 🥴...but wouldn't change it for the world im super blessed for my miracle babies, praying for safe deliveries for all the mommy's to be out there!🙏🏽
did you get dissolveable stitches and wats the process
I am 31 yo and this is my first pregnancy at 31 weeks!! I am so excited but def. getting mentally prepared 🤓 Thank you for all the info ❤💜
Dutch ftm here, 28 weeks pregnant. Thanks for the tips!
Your nails are GORGEOUS by the way!! ✨✨✨✨
I'm almost 23 weeks and this is my first (at age 36... gotta love the advanced maternal age). I was really worried, too, because I'm 5'00 (120lbs pre-pregnancy weight) and my husband is 6'4/300lbs. Relieved that the baby was in the 25th percentile at the 20 weeks scan. Hoping she is smaller (but still healthy) just like her mama!
I have just under a month left in my first pregnancy, and I am TERRIFIED of labor for a lot of reasons including this one. Thank you so much for posting this video, I can't wait to meet my baby girl but *also* can't wait for the "giving birth" part to be over.
How did it go?
How’d it go??
Gotta tell ya… pregnancy SUCKED and taking care of a newborn was SO HARD! Giving birth was the easiest part!
@@oatmealtruck7811how did giving birth easier just asking I’m kinda curious lol 😊
@@Paixpeacehippy whew-eee, lemme tell ya! Being pregnant for 9 months feels like it’s NEVER ENDING TORTURE!! 😩 And taking care of a newborn is MADNESS!!! Giving birth is just… eh, over and done with in so many hours. (15 my first time, 12 my second time) There can be worries and complications-nothing is ever guaranteed concern-free-but it’s all worth it. 👨👩👦👦❤️
Im a second time mom but it feels like my 1st! My firstborn was born almost 16 years ago and holy cow! The amount of information available to new mothers is a blessing. Back then it was mostly discussion forums amongst other expectant moms… now I’m overwhelmed with info but super grateful for it all the same. Thank you for posting these videos!
Im 9 weeks 2 days pregnant today and I just started watching these but I really love them! Thank you so much!
26 weeks pregnant with a baby boy ❤️ cannot wait to meet him. I have heard stories about tearing from other moms and it kind of scared me, but watching your video calmed me down 🤗
I'm due in January with my first baby girl 🥰 you've convinced me for sure not to get an epidural, as much as I know it's gonna hurt, I cannot agree more that the physical sensations we experience is our bodies communicating with us, and I don't want to prevent that. Feeling pretty nervous about this because it's approaching so quickly, but I know I can do it! 😅
I'm also due Jan 15, good luck darling! Don't forget to breath!
You have balls I'm fking terrified
With my epidural I didn’t feel pain but I felt the intense pressure!! so when I felt the pressure I pushed
Stick to your guns. Those shots and IV meds don't stop the pain just make you too drunk to complain. Seriously my unmedicated births were less painful. The pain of cuts and tears last months past delivery.
First pregnancy! 26 weeks with my little boy and super excited 😍
Hey Diana! I’m 35 weeks, first pregnancy, having a boy named Jonathan and I’m a fellow PA in family medicine :) thanks for being so knowledgeable and sharing all of this amazing information!
I'm 23 weeks pregnant with my first baby. It's a baby girl! I'm nervous and excited! Thank you for this video ❤
I’m a first time mom at 38 weeks and 3 days, expecting a baby girl! I’m very much ready for her to be born 🤧 I’m also worried about tearing as well, because I plan on going all natural. I am hoping to be on all fours or squatting. I have no idea what to expect, what the pain will feel like, so I’m really not nervous about going into labor. Everything is so unknown, so I’m just going with the flow 🤧
I recently had my baby on Thursday. It was an assisted birth which required an episiotomy. Just wanted to say thank you for all the videos. You are go to person on CZcams for all things pregnancy and delivery
Week 38, second baby girl, watching from Mexico ❤ thank you for this information!
This was soo helpful. I had really bad tearing, that took a really long time to stich. However, I did not feel that ring of fire that everyone talks about, even though I no pain medication. Currently pregnant with my second.
22 weeks and 3 days today, I’m having a boy and this is my first. Absolutely terrified but also very excited about becoming a mother
I’m 28 weeks with baby 2 (second boy)
I love that you used the Home Free and Avi ring of fire.
Just found out I’m pregnant! I’m a first time mom so I’m super excited and nervous all at the same time. Wishing a smooth and peaceful pregnancy for all🤍🤍
Congratulations😃💜
25 weeks here in Uganda.
Am super excited to meet our little one.
Thanks for the weekly videos.
I am 21 weeks pregnant having a baby girl. We are naming her Elora and this is my first pregnancy! I am so excited to meet her 😊
I have been watching your videos. Getting all the info I need as a first timer. I am currently 26 weeks pregnant ♥. Thank you for your very informative videos 😇
Watching for my grandchild soon to be born. Thank you.
Currently 36 weeks with a baby boy. First child and super excited.
I’m having my first baby, it’s a girl 💗 super nervous for birth, but loved this video. Very helpful.
I'm in the 25 weeks on my 4th pregnancy and this pregnancy is different. Even though I'm not new and I should know everything I don't. These videos help a lot.
6 months pregnant with our first. Have been watching your videos throughout this pregnancy. Will be a surprise baby!
Hi! This is my first pregnancy and I am currently 37 weeks!😱💕
Hiya!! New mama here :) been watching you since the beginning of my pregnancy! I’ll be 28 weeks in 2 days with my beautiful, rainbow baby boy 💙 I love all of your advice and information! It keeps my anxiety/panic prone self calm!
I am so happy I can help. Congratulations on your rainbow baby 👶 💜💜💜
35 weeks and I love watching all your videos. ❤
I'm 38 weeks with second and having on and off contractions all week! I had a 3rd degree tear and episiotomy with my first and the good news is the healing wasn't bad! It healed pretty quickly, I was amazed! The bad news- my OB (I see many in one practice) didn't offer me any pain relief when stitching me and it was the worst torture I've experienced. Now I know there are pain relief options and I'll definitely be advocating for myself if I tear again!!
I’m 35 weeks pregnant , having a boy, this is my first pregnancy and I’m not so terrified however I’m a bit worried based on what everyone else has to say. Trying to prepare myself mentally as best as possible. Thank you watching from 🇯🇲🙏🏽❤️
Congratulations ❤ I was the same 6 years ago! Enjoy the experience and let your body do the work. Remember to breathe and soak up the precious moments. ❤
Same here. At 23 weeks. Praying for no tear delivery by God's grace
@@Goudie08 thank you 🙏🏽❤️
🇬🇾🇬🇾 t story's Scare me
Honey, don't worry about what everyone else has to say. Everyone has different experiences and different ideas on what the "perfect" birthing plan is. You do what's going to be most comfortable for YOU because the last thing you want is to be freaking out while giving birth. So you do whatever is going to be most comfortable to YOU and don't worry about anyone else. It's just you and your baby that you need to be concerned about.
My due date is tomorrow with my first child, a boy❤️ Praying he is punctual 😊
How did it go?
@@mekaknows226 He was over a week late, I was in prodromal labor for 2 days. Active labor was over a day long and ended in an emergency c-section. But baby is healthy❤️ unfortunately, wasn’t the birth I had been preparing for.
9 weeks pregnant with my first and you’re videos are so informative. I’m trying to get all the knowledge I can before baby comes
I'm 22 weeks in pregnancy, have been watching ur video everyday and it's helping a lot big Up's to all Mum out there❤️
Am pregnant and I feel nice watching this video .love from zambia . Africa 🇿🇲
I'm 33 weeks +2 days, this is my first pregnancy after 9 years of trying with my husband I finally got pregnant after having my tubes dyed to look for abnormalities and the procedure actually unblocked my tubes allowing us to get pregnant. Her due date is March 15, 2023 and we're excited (and terrified!) about her impending arrival!
How has it been going?? Any birthing tips?
Love from Malaysia 🇲🇾 I’m 25 weeks pregnant and it’s my first pregnancy, super nervous yet excited!
Hello 👋 I'm 20 weeks pregnant with our first child. It's a girl and we are naming her Gillian. These videos are wonderful! My husband and I watch them week by week together. 😊 From Connecticut, US.
Hellos! From Ohio! 😁 first time expecting mom here. I'm 37 weeks with my baby boy Noah. 👣💙💚 so ready for him to arrive. I've been watching since the first pee on a stick. Great stuff!💙💙
I’m a first time mommy, I don’t want to tear. I know it’s inevitable but I at least want to be fine afterwards. 33 weeks and 4 days now. Pray for me please 🙏
24 wks pregnant with 3rd baby. Last baby was born 17 years ago. Not as flexible as I use to be so just gathering information on how to decrease my chances of tearing. It's always good to prepare. Thank you for taking the time to make the video
We are in our 8 weeks 🤰🏻growing beautifully ✨
I am 23 weeks with my first baby. I enjoy your Pregnancy week by week series and have been watching each one since I found out I was pregnant at 6 weeks! Thank you for your educational content, watching your videos each week help me embrace the changes my body is making ! 💙💙
You are so welcome Destiny. Whatever changes your body goes through will all be worth it once you have that little one in your arms
Fist pregnancy and I am 9 weeks! Had my first prenatal appointment yesterday and will have my first sonogram with my fiance on Monday ❤️🥰 we are over the moon!
So happy for you and your fiancé
Thank you so much for this video! I’m 33 weeks with our first baby, which is a boy! We are beyond excited, but I am super scared for tearing, especially since my doctor has informed me my baby has a big head!😐! I have been seeing a Pelvic Physiotherapist and it has been one of the most rewarding and educational thing I have done. Money Well spent!🥰
37 weeks right now will be 38 Friday with my first & it’s a girl I cannot wait! I have been drinking raspberry leaf tea since 35 weeks so I hope it helps with tearing along with taking my time pushing 🤞🏽 I really can’t wait to meet her 🥰❤️
27 weeks with my first pregnancy and I’m having a handsome little boy❤️❤️
36 weeks and 5 days
Lost my mucus plug
Gave birth to my first baby last January 30,2022 via unmedicated vaginal waterbirth and I did not have vaginal tear. My OB said it’s almost like a miracle. And I feel so proud and happy about it. What helped so much is that Because I did not have any anesthesia. The absence of anesthesia signaled my body when to stop pushing. The “ring of fire” is the most reliable signal. One advice is when you feel the ring of fire, wait at least for two surges before giving it your all when pushing. Hope it helps 🙏🏼
Yes this has definitely helped👍🏼
Great video, as usual :)
Im now im my 34w, first pregnancy! Greetings to all mommas from Croatian girl living in Germany :)
I am 15 weeks 5 days. We find out the baby's gender next month. This is my 2nd pregnancy. I did tear during my first delivery so I'm super ready to learn more about this!
I'm 45 and seven weeks pregnant with my first child. Thanks for the video from Toronto, Canada!
Congratulations and I wish you a safe pregnancy.
Congratulations ❤
45 and first time pregnant as well
Are you guys planning on more pregnancies after this?
I have been watching all your pregnancy related videos throughout my pregnancy and love all the advice you have for us 1st time moms. I'm 39 weeks and very excited to meet our baby boy!
You will benefit from 'Birth Canal Widening' to 10cm diameter prior to birth. Please see comment above.
Love seeing these advice videos! I’m thinking about being a mom. So these type of videos are really reassuring.
Hello! I’m 20 weeks and 2 days! I’m from Nevada! Im having a babygirl 💞Love watching your videos! (:
Thanks for the updates! Very helpful! 🤍
Hi Diana, I watch your week by week videos. I’m 26 weeks with my first baby, a boy. Thank you for all your knowledge, I’ve learned a lot from you already! Hello from NYC!
Am 26 weeks too it's a girl
I gave birth a little over 2 weeks ago and had a 2nd degree tear. I was worried about tearing and did on my last push 😩. It sucks but I would do it all over again for my baby boy 💙
You’re brave! ♥️ happy for you and your boy!
Thats amazing!! Well done mama all the best for you your baby boy and your family ❤❤
Does tearing hurts a lot?
@@sadiasharif4063 not in that moment cause you’re too busy pushing your baby out. After it does hurt a little, but it’s mostly just kind of burns when you go to the bathroom. After 1 week it feels better. I had fraternal twins both vaginal delivery, I tore badly, I was stitched up after the first week it was better. It just burns, that’s it’s. The stitching didn’t hurt after the 3rd day.
FTM, 34 weeks today with my baby boy!!! wish i found your account sooner i loved the video! my baby is measuring at the 8th percentile, so they are concerned for his size and will monitor me weekly via ultrasound and may induce me at 37 weeks so im slightly nervous but want what is best for him!
This is very informative, thank you for sharing Diana, watching from Africa-Tanzania
I am 39 weeks pregnant and this is my first baby! I’m having a girl 💜
