#BuiltToBirth - Jak na to + styl
Just gave birth on Mother’s Day and went through a not planned unmedicated labor. I watched a lot of your videos and definitely helped me a ton. Went in 8cm dilated and quickly transitioned to 9.5 in less than 5 mins. The minute I found out I had epidural in mind but when they asked me I said forget it while using all the techniques my husband and I learned from your videos. Everything happened so quickly after 2 hours of labor from the time I felt water leaking up to the time I pushed baby out with 3 breathing pushes, he was out giving me the best first Mother’s Day gift ever. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. God bless your heart.
Wish that's amazing
Are you kidding!? That is absolutely amazing!!! I'm glad you had such a speedy birth. Congrats to you!!
AWESOME!!!!!
@Mary Lou Flores did you took any course from build to birth.. please suggest
That’s wonderful! Did you take the Built to Birth class?
I had a fast 5.5 hours labor, without medications or whatsoever. I have to say that these breathing techniques, along with other videos of yours definitely helped me to have a beautiful birth experience.
For those of you who read these comments: I feel you, I was reading all of them during my pregnancy haha. You are lucky that you found Bridget! And good luck with your future baby. My boy is 4.5 months now, and I decided to write this comment to encourage you and tell you that you are fine, you will do fine. Hope this will be soothing for some of you, as this is the type of comment that I would have loved to read during my pregnancy :D
Thank you 🧡
Thank you 😊💗
Please tell me which of her other videos helped u?? It will really Mean alot to me to do a quick homework as m due in few days
I hope u reply and u get my message 🙂
@@aryaangel457 Hi, congrats! Mostly this one above about breathing techniques. But I watched almost all her videos and I think that they helped me to have the right mindset. She really focuses on the fact that birth is something that every women can do, and you too have the power to do it!
I’m not joking when I say this, I watched this video and 2 others of Bridget’s a few days before I gave birth (3 maybe 4 days before) I didn’t take any classes nor was I even sure if I’ll commit 100% doing natural unmedicated birth. This is my second giving birth and did epidural with my first but after learning more about epidural and it’s effects I leaned more towards unmedicated. Anyway, I just gave birth doing just these breathing exercises and listening to Christian music. Almost 4hrs of labor and welcomed baby after only 3 pushes. Nurses were confused why I was so calm. Only started screaming (forgetting to focus on breathing) at 10cm and during pushes, no tear, and recovery was way faster than with epidural. I did have intrusive thoughts towards the end wanting epidural but I’m glad I stuck by it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge freely for us to find comfort in our own abilities!
Blessed beginning for your baby! I'm so proud of you mama
I thought you were absolutely bonkers with the "mooing"...until I found myself mooing my baby out without tearing!
My nurse and on call doctor both said "wow you didn't even push" I said "I just let my body do its thing and breathed"!
Thank you!
You’re giving me so much hope right now lol congratulations
Congratulations
I was blowing raspberries (alongside side saying some choice words in low tone lol), and I also didn’t have to push! Babe just slipped out :)
So your saying I won’t look crazy or nurses won’t laugh if I mooo during delivery 😅
2:32 and 3:22 and 9:09
Just notes for me while in labor
7:09 too
Commenting so I’ll find this comment again, because I’ll be giving birth here soon

I thought some of this breathing was a little funky, to be honest. I was in the delivery room, and I just thought, "Breathe your baby out" from your videos. I focused on breathing through my entire labor, and at one point, the doctors asked if I was pushing, just because of my breathing (they seemed genuinely confused). I was already an hour into pushing and getting tired, and the "J" breathe really helped move her down without making me more tired. It was NO JOKE! Breathing really works. I had the epidural, too, but because I had less pain, I could also focus more on relaxing and breathing. I had a wonderful birth experience (1st baby), and it was big-time thanks to your videos. THANK YOU! ❤️
Bridget, I just gave birth to my 8lbs and 1 oz, 20 inches baby boy at 4:02 today. My first 2 labor and deliveries were filled with anxiety, screams, tension, tears, and fear. I was in my early 20s at the time. I am now 36, and watched so many of your videos before today. I honestly amazed myself (and not to mention all the nurses) today. I NEVER would have thought that I (who have an immense low tolerance for pain) would get through labor and delivery with no epidural, no IV medication, no screams, no tears streaming down my face, and just 1 or 2 brief moments of doubt, which with the help of your techniques, mantras, my husband and great nurses, I conquered my fear and pushed through. I will admit though, when it came time to push and that "ring of fire" made its presence, I screamed like a mad woman to push through that and bring my son into the world. With three quick pushes he made his grand entrance and all the pain and worry subsided the moment I layed my eyes on him. Thank you SO MUCH for all you did for me, I will take everything I learned to my future pregnancies, labor and deliveries. To all the mommas out there, although labor and delivery could never be pain free, it doesn't have to be our biggest fight or fear. If I can do it so can every one of you!
I just gave birth 2 days ago. I went unmedicated and let me tell you girl. Your videos helped me tons.
Same ❤️
Any tips?
And congratulations!
@@iamwhoyousayiam6773 thank you 😊
@@iamwhoyousayiam6773 breathing techniques are key, I walked around the hospital the whole time I was in labor until it was time to start pushing ,being on the hospital bed made the pain worse for me. And lastly but most importantly having a very calm person in there with you will help you stay calm
I listened to this video every night before bed for 1-2 months. I started to have contraction at 7:30am. Early labor went into active labor at 8:30am with contractions lasting 1 minute long, 5 mins apart. We got to the hospital at 9:30am. I was at 9cm dilated. Changed into my gown and hopped onto the bed. Doctor said it’s too late for an epidural and told me I had to push. In my mind, I thought to myself, “how am I going to push this baby out?! It’s happening too fast.” Then I said, okay I’m going to give J breathing a try. 3 pushes later, baby girl came out. Thank you so much for educating us on child birth! I could not have done it without your guidance. I also met you in person at a local church and you are such a genuine person. So down to earth and loving. Can’t wait to see baby #3 come this winter! ❤
I’m sitting here practicing this breathing technique, right? Well everytime I do a breath, my baby starts to kick! So I can’t breathe cause I’m laughing 😂
My husband loves you using “hey parents” as opposed to “hey mamas” b/c he said now he feels like ur talking to him to make him help... lol. Today’s my due date, and I’m hoping I can use these techniques soon !
We appreciated the "hey parents" intro too. It seems like everything is centered around the mama and my husband always says he always feels like an awkward 3rd wheel when I watch videos.
Baby yet? 😁
@@stefunnylee yep. I had the baby at exactly 41 weeks. FYI, the breathing techniques definitely work, but the ones I didn’t fully practice we’re definitely forgotten in favor of the ones I knew a bit better, so I’d suggest practicing any ones you actually want to use!
We loved this too!!!
We're practicing these now..... She doesn't know but I've been watching so I can be the best coach there is! Thank you soooooo much for helping me be better at being there for her.... We're excited! She's gonna do great. Just about 2 weeks until crunch time! Again, thank you. You've helped us sooooo much
Update.... She went through 38 hours of labor.... And did it all as an absolute champion. (While going through our breathing techniques)
It was out of our hands, but she had to have a c section. Benjamin Alexander was born April 28th at 9:18. Both mama and Benjamin are doing absolutely amazing! Thank you soooooo much for your videos. You helped us tremendously!
@@gregbradley4072 great job papa bear!!!
You are awesome! Congratulations to your and your lady on your baby 😊
Baby #2 is on the way, everyone!!!!!
@@gregbradley4072congratulations to you both!!! :)
I used your breathing techniques while in labour and the hospital director came around and was like... "I never knew we had a patient in labour and you're already 9cm dilated without making a noise or shouting out of pains, 2 j-breathing brought my beautiful baby girl out. God bless you for all your videos, they've been very helpful to me ❤️❤️
I thought I knew which breathing techniques I would use during labor, but all of the ones I tried didn't keep my focus, calm me down or help me manage the pain. I watched this video, started practicing it then used it on my next contraction and I immediately went from feeling out of control to being calm. This technique built my confidence back up and made me believe that I can do this. I'm still in labor, so I will continue using it!
Really appreciate your comment 😊
Just gave birth 2 weeks ago! I had an at home water birth and it was the BEST experience! I couldn’t have imagined it going any better!! I binged watched Bridget’s videos in my third trimester and let me tell you she is the goat! 🙌🏾 I was so scared and anxious to give birth but I watched a ton of her videos leading up to my delivery and I believe that is what made the difference in my labor! Using these breathing techniques almost made it “easy.” Keyword ALMOST 😂.. but it really is mind over matter!! You control the surges, they don’t control you! Love you mama you got this❤💪🏾🙏🏾
I am due any day with baby #3 & also opting for a water birth. Binging these videos as well. Thanks for the encouragement! Looking forward to the water & meeting our baby 🥰
The comments makes me so emotional! I am 30 weeks and I’ve been watching your videos every day. I am so emotional right now thinking of my baby in my arms! I can’t wait to put all of this in practice. I pray every day for a safe and positive birth!
You must have your little one by now! If you don’t mind me asking, how did it go and how is it going? 😁
Just gave birth 3 days ago. The destresser breath helped me get through labor. I was planning of having a medication but arrived at the hospital 5cm dilated without waterbreaking and was advised epidural is not possible. 30 minutes later gave birth with our precious baby girl. Thank you for this ❤
Hope you're keeping good. Glad all worked out well. I'm at 38 weeks due anytime now.
I had my first baby in April 2021, and watched this video the night before I went into labour. So glad I did! I was able to breathe through my contractions and have an unmedicated birth! I recommend this content to all expecting parents!
Just had my little one 2 days ago! Using these breathing techniques really helped me through the pain (I was totally unmedicated). This was my second pregnancy and this labor was much faster! But I was so much more present to focus on my breathing because everything progressed so fast. I pushed for only 7 minutes! These techniques helped me focus through the surge and bring my baby down.
I will also always say LADIES! If you have the option to labor in the tub, do it! It helps so much with the pain.
Returning to this video to give kudos and appreciation for your videos! I made it through 23 hours from beginning to end (12 hours of labor, 3 of those hours pushing 😅) . There’s no way I could’ve made it through if it weren’t for the breathing techniques. Whoever is watching, breathing is EVERYTHING. Practice throughout your pregnancy, don’t take the focus off of it once it’s time. You can do it!
Okay, so I HAPPENED to find this video about a week before I went into labor. The destresser breath was the single most effective method to manage 26 hours of unmedicated back labor. It was amazing. I was uncomfortable, of course, but counting my breaths truly revolutionized my birthing experience (it was a super positive birth!!). I had my birthing team count my breaths aloud through each contraction.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I'm 33 weeks n I prayed to have a safe delivery also to other mother's. This is a wonderful video 👌👌
Nervous first time mom to be and all of these comments are so positive and reassuring. Definitely going to practice these and praying for an easy natural birth🙏🏽
Gave birth to my beautiful baby girl on June 10th 2022. Cannot thank you enough. Breathing was THE most important thing that got me through almost 18hours if unmedicated birth. I don't think I would have lasted that long and managed the pain so well without the techniques spoken about here.
I was in control of my contractions through out! Was not easy but I did it!!
Thanks a ton 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I watched your other video about breathing techniques. It really help me a lot when I gave birth last month. I came to the hospital at 5 am, 9 cm dilated already. Pushed baby out at 6:32 am without Epidural. It was painful but with breathing techniques and positive mind, it was all worth it! Thank you!!!
Congratulations! This is amazing to read, thank you for sharing your positive experience ❤️ all the best
Aw! That's awesome 👍
Damn, 9 cm?
Hi Carol. Congratulations! How were you able to monitor your dilation progress before arriving to the hospital?
@@camillesigogne5913 Thank you!
i just thought that this breathing technique wont help me in labour as i hve low pain thresold but gladly it along with comb technique worked for me..blessed with a baby girl with drug free delivery jazakallah for the help
I had the most incredible birth experience last night thanks to your breathing techniques. My midwife even asked where and how I managed to stay so calm and centred throughout all the stages of labour. I even attended a “calm birth course” recently which didn’t really tell me anything new.
Your breathing techniques really work! Thanks so much for sharing this with the world.
I gave birth this morning, and, Bridget, you are one of the first persons that I want to thank. What you do and what you have done in your channel has helped me tremendously throughout my labor and delivery. Just a background, I am first time mom, and have a very low pain tolerance as a person. But with your help I delivered a 3.4kg healthy baby through long grueling hours of back labor (occiput posterior) without epidural. Your breathing techniques and affirmations has helped me through it all. Aside from the supportive and competent staff here, I want to thank you for what you do... empowering women to see this wonderful experience as natural as it is super-natural. Again, thank you so much, Bridget.
I’m so glad you shared this comment, I am a first time mum due In a few weeks, I have low pain tolerance and I know I am an anxious person and will be prone anxiety and fear making pain worse ! It’s really great to see your comment and how much these breathing techniques helped you, I may have some hope to have unmedicAted birth yet :) congratulations to you and thank you for sharing it has helped me a lot to feel calmer
Just wanted to leave a comment to say you are amazing. I had my first unmedicated birth in December 2019 and your videos gave me ALL of the information I needed. I felt so prepared and confident in myself. It was an amazing experience. I’m due with #3 and possibly in early labor right now actually, and I’m watching your videos as refreshers. I tell EVERYONE I know about you when they mention wanting a natural birth 💓
5 days past due🥴 maybe my baby was waiting for me to watch this video first before he came
Lucky you.. Hope you'll doing good..
How did it go?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences! It gives me a more confedence and prepared feeling then i had before! X
I used your breathing technics with my last baby and it was SO helpful. My midwife couldn’t believe how relaxed I was!
I want to thank Bridget Taylor for her hypnobirthing videos. I watched them and practised the technique weeks before due date. Yesterday I gave birth to a beautiful son without drugs and totally in control,safe and able to cope with the contractipns hypnobirthing works! I wish I had known this for my daughter!!! Although i had a drug free labour for her too, the experience was frightening, my blood pressure went very high and had to be given emergency bp .medication to bring it down. This time it didnt, the midwife was so impressed she led me lead the labour and for the active part, she allowed me to breathe the baby out instead of forced pushing. It was so beautiful, she even let me stroke his head as i was waiting for the final contraction to breathe out his body and finally cuddle him. Thanks to hypnobirthing and Bridget's videos and advice, i know have a beautiful memory of childbirth. It wasnt easy, but it was not scary. I would encourage all pregnant women to trust Bridget's words and hypnobirthing. Thank you soooo much x
Thanks Bridget! You’re Awesome! Your breathing technique helped me a lot. Stay blessed forever ❤
This video is amazing! Thank you for being so spot on. And by the way, congrats on your recent addition. You look beautiful!
I’m currently in labor and breathing is so important
Praying for a wonderful experience!
The most important 🙏🏼💪🏻 enjoy!! In through nose out through mouth
Best of luck mamas. You got this. Breath the pain away
Praying for a happy heathly birth for you, your partner and your baby!
May you have a amazing and easy experience .
Hi Bridget! I just want to send you a big thank you for your amazing videos. I gave birth to out daughter yesterday unmedicated and had a super experiance thanks to what I learned from your channel. Most of all the breathing but also knowing all the stages through labour and trusting the body. So once again thank you from Sweden!
This video helped me SO much I had an unmediated birth as well. Thank you for your videos! ❤
Practicing right now and my baby is going wild 😂🤌🏼
Thank you very much for this vital information. It is so much appreciated. May you and your ministry be blessed.
Thank you for this video. I just had my baby 4 days ago and your videos made a big difference. I used the destresser breath for pretty much the whole thing. The breathing and internally counting made it so I could make it through my entire birth without an epidural.
For the exhale I switched up between the “normal breathing out”, the “Darth Vader like haaa”, and a “low grunt” depending on the pain level.
I practiced every time I got a Braxton Hicks contractions so I knew to do that instead of my natural tendency which is to freak out and tense up’ when the time came.
I’m so glad I watched this video. I watched a lot of unmedicated birth videos out of curiosity but had decided way before to get the epidural. Well, I missed early labor entirely thinking it was prodromal or Braxton Hicks, arrived at the hospital fully dilated, and couldn’t get the epidural at all. I remembered the techniques from this video and got through it… as best I could lol.
Hello , just gave birth to my cute and healthy baby girl on 14th October 2021. I was induced and went through 16hrs of non stop contractions but everything went so well thanks to your breathing technique. I practice this technique everytime the pain come and it helped me to relax through the process. After 16 hrs , my baby came out with no tearing ! It's my 1st baby so I expect tearing but it did not. Thank you so much for your tips.
Literally watching this while having contractions and trying the destresser breath and it’s helping.
Adding this video to my favorite labor prep videos list!! This TRULY helped me SO much!! I had a pain-free, anxiety-free birth with help of your coaching!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Currently in labor! Perfect timing 🥰
What an amazing video, thank you so much! You’re very easy to listen to, clear and accompany us really well. Thanks so much and big hugs
this video literally made my life easier. Thank you love
So I gave birth 9 months ago and before I gave birth I remember going through your videos for the first time and let me tell you!!!! When my water broke I felt contractions right away and learn how to do it and be calm and the nurses were like your so calm for being in active labor at 6 cm and in one hour I was at 10 and started pushing thank you so much!! Wish I knew with my other pregnancies this !!
I feel like this video is one of the top things that helped me have the birth of my dreams!! I gave birth for the first time last Wednesday and I progressed so fast and was able to do it completely unmedicated like I always wanted. Thank you Bridget for all your tips & videos!!
My last baby I got induced for the first time. It was sooo intense compared to my natural births. I got an epidural but it didn’t work! I was so happy I watched your videos before! It helped with the pain sooo much. I went in at 9am and had my baby a little before 12 pm. Thank you so much for your videos and helping us parents!
Thank you so much for this video and all your other videos! I just gave birth to my 6th baby yesterday naturally and I used your videos to teach myself the de-stresser breath and it carried me through my labor and delivery...the L&D RN told me that I was the most calm patient she had ever seen...It was like you were in the room with me! Thank you Bridget I could here your voice through the tough contractions saying..."you can do this mama!" Thank you for your videos what a blessing they are, keep up your great and encouraging work. By the way I am a post-partum RN and was so helped and informed by your videos.
You can't imagine how much you helped me! ❤
I watched this video to help my gf when she was having contractions. We didn't take a class but this video helped my gf get through the labor process. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks Bridget for thos video. I listened and followed everything and it helped tremendously.
Literally watching this video 5 cm dilated in the hospital. Bless you, Bridget!
Had an unmediated birth and omg this and some of your other videos helped so much! Thanks!
Bridget, may God bless you immensely. I had the most painless and pleasant birthing experience due to your incredible expertise. Love you tons and keep sharing your valuable videos with all mothers.
I just had my baby girl a few days ago, and this video was especially helpful! I was able to go with my plan for an unmedicated birth, and get through all of my contractions and pushing with these breathing techniques! It worked so well for me. Thank you for sharing all of this content! 💕💕
Thank you so much for creating this video! Your video equipped me with the knowledge I needed. I was able to stay calm and collected and felt in total control of my second labor by breathing through the contractions as you taught me. Though I did have to be induced, I was able to breathe through the pain and avoid an epidural this time around. Thank you again!! ❤️
Your videos really helped me. I had my first unmedicated birth 3 weeks ago and your breathing techniques really helped me. It made such a difference for me. I handled the pain well and I'm so proud of myself for doing it.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Helped so much during labor. ❤
I used the j breath during the labor of my 4th child in November. It was so helpful!! Especially through transition!!
Thank you so so much, Bridget!
Dear Bridget, ive bought your built to birth course. I will like to thank you for meditations due to the few weeks being unable to walk comfortably last stages if pregnancy! However uoon listening to your hypnotherapy for birthing & of course pregnancy i feel re-energised and perhaps healed to aid walking again. Perhaps the meditation indeed help with the immune system so forth. Feeling so much better, thanks again Lottie xxx
Your video helped me through my labor...your calm voice and explanation was spot on and I delivered my second son in 5 hours 1 hour of which was driving an hour to the hospital...thank you for these videos
This was life saving and the only thing I remembered to do while birthing. This helped me so much♥️
Thank you so much for your breathing video. It really helped me in my labour of 2nd baby. I went to hospital when I was completely diluted that’s how much longer I stayed home just breathing and walking and moving rather than laying down. Also I pushed when I felt like not when midwives asked me to push so thank you once again it was quick and smooth labour off course painful but breathing and walking helped 🙏🏻😘
Just gave birth yesterday and I was able to breathe my baby out thanks to your videos!! I had to be induced due to preeclampsia so I was nervous of how this birth would be different because of the induction but I did not have an epidural and I literally breathed him out, without tearing. It was amazing! Completely different from my first birth (done the traditional way) I’m so thankful for your videos! I will tell every pregnant woman I know to watch your channel! God Bless You!
The destresser breath was what helped me have an unmedicated labor and delivery. Thanks soooooo much for your video!!!
I’m starting labor, this is my week 38 and I’m about to head to the hospital. Thank you for this video, it’s been helpful
Thanks for this video I linked it in the description on my video about having a natural labor in the hospital
Hey Bridget! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! Your breathing techniques really helped me give birth to our daughter without an epidural.
Marianna from Hungary
I have 4 wks left!!! I’m definitely going to watch this during labor and your other video !
I had my first babe and unmediated birth in October 2020. Your breathing techniques helped me so much!
My labor and delivery nurse said I had the most control during my labor that she had ever seen. Thank you for all your great videos helping me prepare! 🤍
Oh my goodness! I just gave birth yesterday and had to come back to this video to THANK YOU SO MUCH. I used the destressor breath for the bulk of my labor up until I got the epidural, and I switched back and forth between the J breath and Lamaze breath to cope with the painful pressure at the end. Just those simple breathing techniques gave me a peaceful labor and I cannot thank you enough. This was my second and with the first I did not have these in my toolbox and I did not cope well and had a hard time in the hospital, spend most of my labor with the epidural and tore and I was anxious about coming this time. But being able to breath and relax decreased the pain with contractions like CRAZY and helped me stay on top of everything and I had a great experience this time and I cannot thank you enough just for sharing this simple tool!
Thank you so much! You videos and especially this one about breathing has helped me a lot during labor! My midwife and people who were here said they were surprised with how amazing I did for a first time. I could have a unmedicated home birth with a birthing pool and I really loved my first birth experience! Our healthy little boy was born on September 28th 💙
Wow! My wife tried this exercise and I supported her during labor, we got baby soon with less pain. I would personally recommend this exercise. Thanks for the excellent video 🙏
Using this for my IUD insertion! And God willing, future babies! Thank you ♥️
I just gave birth a few days ago and your videos helped me a ton. Even though it was my 3rd birth, this was the first one I did a lot of research and education for. Your videos were a blessing from God. All natural unmedicated at home.
This worked for me and I had an unmedicated birth .Thanks a lot for this.
literally in the L&D showing this to my fiancé. thank you. never took a lamaze class regretting that now
I did the destresser with my first without knowing what it was, it helped me get thru the final hours of child birth and it even helped me try to fall asleep 😭❤️
I'm revisiting this video to send to my friend who's wife is expecting soon. This video helped me coach my wife through the labor process 5 months ago. Thank you so much!
I literally watched this the night before I went into labor. I used this technique and it created such an amazing experience!

Thank you so much for this educative videos. Gave birth 3days ago, it was an easy birth I couldn't believe it myself let alone the doctors and nurses.
The breathing technique and taking control of the labor pains, I also listen to the affirmation during my last stage of labor it was really amazing. All in all I thank God for taking me through and for you to.
Please keep educating the mamas.
شكرا يابطلة وياشتطرة على نصائح الذهبية
Thank you so much for what you do. I’m 39 weeks now and hoping to use your tips and advice effectively during labor and birth! You are a blessing ❤️
I just had my baby last week and saw this video the night I went into labor. THANK YOU!! I had your voice in my head and was able to work on my breathing through contractions. Your voice helped me calm down so much and focus on the goal.
Your breathing techniques saved me! I had an epidural but it stopped working when I was at 7cm and the anesthesiologist had no idea why, it took him a while to finally decide to redo the epidural. I was in so much pain but I used your breathing technique and focusing on a dot on the wall to get through it.
Two weeks left till due date! This channel has helped SO much!!! So grateful full! Thank you!!
Hi Bridget, i watched your videos everyday whilst preparing for the birth of my baby. I found them super useful. Just wanna say thank you. I gained a lot of confidence, motivation and felt empowered from ur vids. I had a good birthing experience and now my baby is almost 8 weeks. Thankful ❤
I'm not kidding when I say I had my baby recently and I found you through this exact video, and your techniques REALLY helped me so much! Thank you thank you! The entire time I had contractions I was doing these techniques and it helped when it kicked in. My birth went exactly as I had planned even with an induction I had contractions with a fast labor and epidural and it was perfect. Labor wasn't scary at all for me and always prepare and you got this!
You're video helped me so much during labor. I was to far along when I got to the hospital to get the epidural so breathing was all I had. The doctor asked me if I took a class and I told I'm I just watched youtube videos. They seemed impressed.
Your breathing techniques really helped me through my contractions. I was even able to pull through and have a natural birth with no pain medication. I even laid on my sides in the beginnings of my delivery and ended it on my back. Your videos helped me a lot. I just had my first baby last night. Thank you ☺️
This video helped me soooo much. I ended up having an all natural birth because the breathing was so effective. I literally didn’t know that I was close to pushing and I almost tapped out and got an epidural. I wasn’t opposed to the idea of getting an epidural but I wanted to see how far I could go without it. I only had 1st degree tears and three stitches. Thank you!! 🤍
