These are my top tips and ways to naturally prepare your body for labor and delivery! I have selected these 8 ways to prepare your body for labor and delivery naturally because I have done these things for 2 out of my 3 natural child births and I believe they have made a world of difference! Even with my second birth that was an induction with pitocin I was able to have a natural childbirth experience with no other drugs / epidural! And my labor went much quicker and smoother after implementing these tips and tricks!
Thanks son much for watching! I hope the 8 ways to naturally prepare your body for labor and delivery help you out on your journey!
Best,
Kim!!

[@sheilaaustin5905]

[@MsPink0769]

I feel like Nick Cage is telling me "Yeah, you're gonna get the epidural."

[@thewadsquad]

haha nah He's saying 'you've got this mama' ;-)

[@sarahanniswerid]

Lmaoooo this comment killed me

[@ninetailsthriftytips4946]

that pillow made my day nick cage grinning awkwardly though a labour pain video like he is taunting me "it dont matter what you do that shiz is gunna hurt"

[@mailor6184]

Lmao hahahhaa were all just hoping it doesn't

[@MinistryOfImperfections]

i appreciate the video but that pillow with the man smiling & looking at me in the background is just really throwing me off 😂😂

[@thewadsquad]

bahah yup, that's Nick Cage! :)

[@najminajay]

Omg noooooo I paused at 20 secs because of this like wth

[@adriannal7046]

First thing I noticed. It’s so weird, I almost clicked away 😂

[@cassieshoemaker4733]

I thought there was just a guy chilling in background...bahaha!!!

[@englishwithyasmine]

Same 😂

[@morganmoser5596]

Commenting before even watching :) I am due in 3 weeks and ready for another natural birth! This is totally what we are meant to do! That was such a motivator for me with my son.

[@thewadsquad]

Good luck on your labor and delivery journey! I hope you get the delivery of your dreams 🎉😁👶🏻

[@babbeyjaneh8292]

I stalled too, I’m coming prepared with my pregnancy. I’m exercising and keeping active. It will be a piece of cake! lol

[@laurenwade3795]

[@sabrinabordonaro9919]

Legally blonde! I love that movie. 😂 Thank you for the wonderful advice. 😊 I'm not pregnant yet (have been trying for almost 2 years), but I'll remember these things when my day to give birth finally arrives! 😊❤

[@danileilab8550]

I want to be your friend 🤣🤣🤣 love your energy. Thank you so much for your tips, I am about to give birth for the first time and I will be implementing these tips for my remaining 6 weeks!

[@chesterthompson8610]

That pillow made my day and I swear nick cage is looking into my soul which isn’t bad though 🤣

[@nakwazyan.220]

thank you for the tips! baby #2 is coming any day.

[@laurenayele7452]

HOW CAN I TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY WITH CAGE IN THE BACKGROUND 😂

[@thewadsquad]

[@thewadsquad]

bahah! Thanks!

Life saving tips.

[@kristiecarter3623]

Hi, Beautiful birth! Congratulations! I wanted to ask you, approx how much does a doula charge? Thank you!

[@sydneychhiv3480]

Kristie Carter depends how much the doula wants to charge. I Googled a doula in my area and found one through doulamatch.com. Her charge was $650 for a prenatal visit, phone and email contact, labor, and a postnatal visit. I wanted to find a doula who did postpartum services as well, but I'll have to hire someone else for that which is ok. Also, depending on what state you live in and/or your insurance the cost of a doula may be reimbursed. There are some doulas who have sliding scale fees as well or who are training and will attend a birth for free. I've seen ranges from $0-4000 for doulas depending on their services and experience. Some doulas offer massages during labor, some offer aromatherapy, some have a cap on how long they will stay with you during labor and after delivery, etc.

[@megan7086]

I was induced with my first at 34 weeks. I made it to hour 44 (13 hours with pitocin) by the time I gave in and got the epidural, and had him 3 hours later. He was 3lbs 15 oz and I had a 2nd degree tear. I know that if I don’t need to be induced I will be able to go naturally, but I’m so scared of tearing again with no pain medication. Like, if a 3lb baby can tear me in half, what will a 7lb baby do???

[@jessicafairbanks8457]

megan I gave birth to a 28 weeker at 2lbs.., I’m totally freaking out with my second kid lol we have 3 weeks til he’s due!

[@brendabuenrostro8265]

It has more to do with how prepared your body is than it does with the size of the baby. There are women who have 10 pound babies that don't tear. If your body is tense and unprepared you are more likely to tear. Drink red raspberry leaf tea, eat dates, and learn to relax and let your body flow.

[@alyssariceYT]

Historically women have given birth while squatting. It's honestly probably one of the best birthing positions for mom and baby

[@XX-lm9kx]

That's not recommended because the faster the delivery the more likely you are to tear. And historically a lot of women died while giving birth so that's not a great reference...

[@monikfreak19]

X X women die today as well while giving birth

[@jennyjay4020]

In Developmental Psychology I learned that is that best way.

[@plo3358]

Legally Blonde right???? "Happy people don't kill their husbands".. took me a minute, but I'm sure that's the movie!

[@vivinaploja]

This video is really good! I'll have my 5th baby on november 2018, and Your friendly and simply ways are perfect, thank you so much and God Bless You! Vivien from Hungary

[@adrist8050]

sorry, what tea is the fist one please?? i cant hear it properly

[@alexaclaire8728]

Is the Nora tea like the red raspberry leaf tea?

[@stephaniezeh1074]

Honestly, if you didnt tear birthing a 10lb baby youd be a unicorn, good job!! Questions: what kind if squats? How to use yoga ball during pregnancy?

[@brendawalton2518]

And how big should the ball be?

[@giadaamarini4724]

how did you find a dula?? I have no idea where to start to make a natual child birth plan!! lol

[@thewadsquad]

Google your city and doula - I'm sure plenty will come up for you!! :) Mama Natural has a wonderful template to get you started on your birth plan - I have a video on it - but just google 'mama natural birth plan' it's simple- then just research each option and see what fits bets for you! :)

[@giadaamarini4724]

Thank you so much! you really inspire me and make me feel like I am strong enough to do it too!

[@ashb2404]

I'm new here... I have to ask... Is there a story behind the Nick Cage pillow? Just curious 😉

[@rosiereimer3858]

Hello sorry if I'm being a bother but I've been trying to convince for about a year and a half my doctors are being strange anyone of them and don't know where to turn to has we would love to have a family of our own even though I wouldnt mind adoption I just want to have my own one I have researched so much and I just dont kbow what to do anymore 😭

[@rowdylilpiper1379]

That pillow agrees😆😆😆

[@jodiesparks9804]

That pillow though lol

[@gsgsshs3308]

My mom give birth to two times twins, and 7 single !! Totally 11, she gave birth at Home never visted hospital as there was no hospital. She work all day even after Birth. Much like and love for all mom. Who like !!!?

[@krystalbohaker6168]

What was ur labor time compared to number 2?! I am pregnant with number 3 and they say that one is the wild card😬. From start of 1st contraction to birth how long was it?!

[@alexisfaith4680]

Most c sections are not necessary. One out of 3 women in the US have c sections. Our species would never have survived if c sections at that rate were needed. It's all about the money and hysterical doctors trained to cut not give into naturalism.

[@daisysonnevijlle3064]

Alexis Faith without c section my mum and I would have died my mother was bleeding to death and I was sufficating by lack of oxygen.

[@alexisfaith4680]

Daisy Sonnevijlle Of course, some c sections are necessary.

[@leeannlin]

Alexis Faith i agree.

[@amadahycatori6198]

Alexis Faith, I totally agree with you.

[@charlietynes5317]

"Happy people don't kill their husbands" she is hilarious.

[@NaomiSwanson]

I actually couldn’t watch because of the pillow 😂

[@helaalabbas9960]

Your videos are really helpful.. I am 10 weeks away from my due date and frwaking out here😱😱.. Regarding the date, it's true.. Dates has oxytocin, which is the inducer hormon for labor that's why it ease and prepare natural birth. On top of that, we have a chapter in our Holly book, Quran, for Ms. Mary. Before she reached labor time, she rested under a palm tree next to a river.. God spoke to her and told her to shake the tree to get some dates and drink water, which both will ease your labor... And that what happened at her time without and further researches.. Plus, they are high in Iron, Calcium and Magnesium, that helps women after birth to deliver..

[@caliesa]

Where did you buy the Nora tea? When I search for it - many other teas are brought up but not Nora...

[@thewadsquad]

So you can't buy specifically NORA tea, you use the individual tea leafs to make it yourself if you're a hard core tea drinker. For myself I make it easy and drink the 'labor prep' tea by pink stork, or in the past I have drank the 'third trimester' tea by earth mama and I think another one but can't remember the name but the brand was yogi. I think in the video I mention which one I like the best - I have a tea specifically talking about NORA tea :)

[@hfis459]

im not even pregnant and dont plan on being pregnant for years. but i want to start now lol

[@Vivtmbs1]

I’ve heard squats during labor can increase your chance of tearing so...

[@caitlinbasile2723]

My first two were 10lbs all natural born at 40w5days and 38weeks Im 35weeks with baby boy#3 and hes gonna be my smallest 6-8lbs

[@stacych6421]

but how can any pregnant woman in their third trimester do 300 squats a day? I can do only as much as 40 a day, which will be a little less than 300 in a week.

[@thewadsquad]

I never counted, but I worked out in my third trimester :) Not hardcore, but 300 squats isn't a ton. Do what you can :)

[@brendawalton2518]

In more "primitive" cultures squatting is a lot more common.

[@oliviaswann4686]

Just do Bodypump, you won't be far off that with the squat and lunge tracks

[@sarahharlow5447]

I can barely bend down😂 in my third trimester just now 32 weeks👶🏻

[@Chicken_Godd___]

do you have tips on recovering your pelvic floor especially after 3 births??

[@thewadsquad]

I found some random exercises to do.. maybe I'll share those! Check pinterest, they offer a lot of awesome tips! :)

[@Chicken_Godd___]

THE WADS thanks!

[@beetles1964]

Mud and Chocolate And if you need more help, you may be able to find a pelvic floor physical therapist to help.

[@kelsyplummer9657]

Will doTERRA brand Rose oil work just as well as prime rose for your cervix?

[@canonmoments2058]

Kelsy Plummer evening primrose oil comes in capsules that you insert near your cervix

[@kelsyplummer9657]

Canon Moments oh okay! I was just wandering if rose would be a good substitute! Thank you for responding!

[@Nikita-ey6tq]

They are NOT the same oils at all! If your hospital allows aromatherapy you could use your doterra oil for that if it helps calm you. Please read about what Evening Primrose oil is and anything else before trying to put it in or on your body! Evening Primrose is very popular for a reason!

I don't have a yoga ball ❤️😅😢I am going to get one

[@thewadsquad]

I highly recommend getting one! They're around $15 / $20 at Target... and lucky for you it's the New Year so many workout items are on sale!! :)

[@kmemarie282]

[@Heidiconsuelorodriguez]

Which tea? Sorry can’t get the name?

[@MayaNirwan]

Heidi Consuelo Rodriguez Ortega Noora Tea or Nora Tea something like that!

[@rayeandrew4827]

Raspberry leaf tea and peppermint tea work to soften the areas around the cervix apparently I used them both and had a fast 2 hr labour could be coincidence but maybe not

[@theblacksheep4408]

Raye Andrew how long did you drink it?

[@olfabouslama]

About dates not 6 must be odd number up to 7 so 7 pc, 3 or 5 if it even number it accumulate sugar in body

[@la3380]

How does that even make sense?
