My labor and delivery has to be a hostile environment because for some reason that's what my delivery needs to get stronger

Hey! Love watching your videos. Your shirt is amazing! Share a link?😊

The midwives brew worked for me during my last pregnancy! It was gross but I worked!

Hi Bridget, your videos are really nice with lots of info.... now in week 31 of pregnancy what exercises should I do?

Loved this video! 😄👏🏻👏🏻
Cheering on a friend of mine who is almost at 41 weeks with her 2nd baby (first one also took her sweet time!) She is really hoping Not to be induced 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I shared this video with her and just finished watching it myself. Hoping we will go walking together tomorrow 🤰

39 weeks here - just want other moms to know that walking isnt easy for me, and hasnt been for a while. Even going very slow I experience round ligament pain/back pain and really struggle. I find light barre blend exercises combined with strength training much much easier on my body.

How about a previous C section, is it safe to drink red raspberry tea leaf?

This all sounded fine until the castor oil. Don’t do that people

Castor oil for me is a big NO and I don’t recommend it is disgusting and it only works if your body is ready I almost drank a whole bottle of it and it never worked for me at all just made me have really bad diarrhea and vomiting

I am 41 week and 2 days
I am going craaaaaaazy
Nothing yet!!

40+2…. Thank you for this video

I took castor oil and doctors were not happy for that. Because I got intense diarrhea which went through the whole labor. The other side effect was I got intense pain at start and I was not dilated even I was in pain like hell.

Bridget! 😳 Castor Oil has since been found to be EXTREMELY DANGEROUS for mama AND baby!! Please take that part of the video out or take this down and redo it!!

I watched this video on a Friday night when my baby was 39w6d, I wanted to start labor, not wanting to be overdue or induced, I tried the tips, and I had my blood show on Saturday morning, my contraction started mild from Saturday morning, and getting stronger and stronger, I went to hospital to check to Check on Saturday night but only 1cm dilated so I was sent back, however, my contraction didn’t stop, it increased from Saturday midnight till Sunday noontime, it was very painful by Sunday noontime so I called and went to hospital, when I arrived hospital I was checked and told I was 7cm dilated! 4hours later, I had my cutest baby in my arm. I used the breathe techniques that Bridget taught and it worked. Bridget had informative and great videos, thank you Bridgett! ❤

Your jacket is super cute😊

Medical issues are one thing - medical inductions are nasty (experience) - but please don't try to induce labor just because you're sick of being pregnant or some other selfish reason. Your body and your baby work together and baby will generally let your body know when s/he is ready.

Try to only use these if it is past 39.6 weeks guys. You're only in early term before then. Let your baby's brain and lungs continue to develope those few weeks

Not me on the couch half asleep watching 😭

I have a question: I have three children all have come either side of the due date; induction is not something I have ever needed to consider. But I am now pregnant with mono-di twins. They want to induce, I’m not keen.

While on one hand I don’t feel any amount of oils, breathing or acupressure can bring on labour if they babies aren’t ready, is there a risk of trying to induce labour by using all of the above techniques?

My motive is to avoid hospital induction, but is even natural induction techniques wise?

My son is 2 months and at 37 weeks, I was crazy about inducing and having him come out 😊 mostly because I wanted to have him when my fav OB was on call as I just did not have a good relationship with the other OBs like I did with her. I did exercises and nipple stimulation for about a good week and had baby at 38 weeks and 3 days. And my OB was on call that week. Thank you so much!

Helpful

Thank you ❤I am 39 weeks now with baby.no4

You talking about fear gives me anxiety lol

I like yr videos,so I'm surprised your encouraging women to induce labour on the're own & before 40 wks gestation!?

Omg seems like yesterday I was watching this videos, preparing for my baby girl 🥹💓. I induced by using my breast pump on each breast for 5mins. She was born 9hrs later.

One week to go ! Really keen to meet my baby ❤

38+4 and my girl won’t move 😅

My doctor told me no castor oil, but I'm facing a medical induction in about a week, which I really don't want. I think I'm going to wait until my next appointment to see where I'm and maybe after do the midwives brew anyway 😬 I REALLY REALLY don't want to be medically induced.

Hi! This is my first baby. Not looking to have him just yet still a few months to go but I was wondering how many times should you have sex to induce labor? I heard 3 times is enough to kick start it but not sure if it should be 3 times in 1 day or 3 days straight? Thanks in advance!

Try moving with SPD. It's next to impossible when i can't even lift my legs up onto a curb or into a shower. Everything except that one piece of advice is helpful

What are your thoughts on eating stress and red raspberry leaf tea/supplements,

Bridget I'm here to say thank you,all the way from Kenya. I was following your chanel closely and ooh my,had a positive birth experience because of everything I learnt from you. Thank you 🙏🏾 my body listened to my brain 🧠 you're a gem. I hope other women, especially First time moms find your chanel.

Im tired of being pregnant... i hate my life at this point

We are 37weeks and 3 days

Hi Bridget, Dakalo from South Africa here
We need more doulas like you ma'am please

Our health care system in our country is poor and especially for public hospitals

Number 10 is definitely a legit tip. I don't know about the other ones. Walking is legit too.

I think the worst part is how much it hurts after I pee. I want this baby out. After I pee it feels like my bladder is collapsing on itself. It is seriously the most painful thing and I am just so tired.... i want baby out

10 oz apricot juice
8 oz lemon verban tea
2 tbsp castor oil
2 tbsp almond butter

I am 37 weeks and 6 days and doctor wants me to have baby now for possible VBAC , wish me luck and prayers 🙏

You are absolutely delightful to listen, watch and learn from. May your days always be sunny and bright and how lucky your birthing moms are !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Labor Cocktail" worked amazing!

My water broke at 40 weeks in the middle of the night, no contractions before or after.
Went to my midwives the next day and we spent alot of the day trying different exersizes and natural ways to get contractions going, and nothing.
Eventually, we whipped up the nasty beverage and we sat in the family room relaxing and exactly an hour later I got my first contraction.
It was the best buildup to birth ever, just sat back and watched documentaries with ny husband and brought take out for supper, waiting to be dilated enough and baby was born 4.5 hours after that first contraction, it was great and im so thankful.

Guys please don’t take Castor oil. No midwife who is certified and up to date is going to recommend it. It’s not safe and you likely don’t want to spend your labor having horrific diarrhea even if it does work and nothing bad happens

Can I just do an organism myself to induce labour?

My first birth was c section because I had twins and my second birth was natural vaginal birth it took almost 24 hours to dilate after my water break

Amazing video thanks

Listen on speed 1.25 if you have less patience

Castor oil is not recommended at all since it can make baby poop in utero, which is very dangerous and a cause for an emergency c-section.

What’s your take on raspberry leaf tea or dates for Vbac mom ?

I’m a dad watching for tips to help. Do you have any advice for us?
