Stages of Labor Part 1 (EBB Crash Course)

If you're having a baby, it's important to know how birth works! Let's talk about how your baby will pass through your pelvis, how your cervix will open, and about the stages of labor.
This crash-course does not substitute complete childbirth education. For a full, comprehensive, and online childbirth class visit evidencebasedbirth.com/childb...
For decades, the vast majority of birth research evidence has been locked away in medical journals. Here at Evidence Based Birth®, we believe in putting the evidence back in the hands of the people who need it the most: you and your family!

Thank you for posting. Especially now without the availability of classes.

[@sarahw3929]

Really appreciate this since there's no classed right now. Thank you from first time mom

[@mandalynn1384]

Lol. With my first I was at 5 cm no contractions for about 2 weeks. Then at 37 weeks I went from 5 to skin to skin in 1 hr 15 mins. There were no discernable breaks between contractions once they became noticeable. I hope this labor goes just as quickly

[@CaribbeanQueen07]

Your videos are exactly what i have been looking for. So informative! Thank you for making them! I have been binge watching them all day!

[@TheNaturalBirthShow]

This knowledge is SO helpful for new moms! Birth can be so overwhelming if you don't know what is going on. Thanks for always sharing awesome info, Rebecca!

Thanks for the information! Giving birth in February but there aren’t any classes available yet. One thing I may suggest: if you’re checking speaker notes, it may be better if you put them closer to the camera. I kept getting slightly distracted when you would look off to the side. Other than that, thank you for this!

[@emuhlee16]

Yes, just a tad bit annoying.

[@jennifertorres7119]

Yep, I agree with this. It was distracting.

[@alexn8767]

I agree super distracting

I thought she might’ve been giving a child “the eye” 😂😂

[@mk8829]

So informative thank you!

[@ShawnPlantz]

I keep wondering.. You check the dilation of the cervix with your hand. But as of now, my vagina is not big enough to accommodate an adult person's hand, at least not just like that. Is the rest of the vagina dilating together with the cervix? Is the perineum, which as I understand it is the tightest part of the birth canal, except for the cervix, also dilating? Or is this another case of "With everything else going on around that area, you won't even notice or mind."?

[@harviesoriano4342]

[@AndiDail]

I so want to watch your video series because I know so little about the mechanics of labor. But this “gender inclusive” language is SO alienating. Dehumanizing, even. I feel like you aren’t addressing me, as a whole person, at all. It probably feels like you can’t win, what with the postmodernist crowd telling you you can’t say “woman” and women asking you why you won’t. As one of those women - and, at that, a woman who is pretty educated on my own biology, this one factor (aka the factor for which my female body was made: giving birth) not included - this is my opinion.

[@laurap3162]

Cry about it

[@QBee79]

I didn’t even think about that watching this. Who cares? It’s all about the mechanics not about dehumanizing women ffs. Most medical stuff is usually explained like this. I don’t need her to say woman, women during the explanation because I know she’s obviously talking about women giving birth..

[@intellectuallyhot3407]

That moment when feminists turn their backs on women.

[@nat4465]

Maybe psychological it’s helpful to be addressed as women. It does feel empowering, I think. Language is important , this video even mentions how calling the contractions waves or surges takes away that negative connotation. She calls it in the video Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Being addressed as women could be very empowering as we remember that we were made to do this and are more than capable especially in that moment when you start to doubt. It would be sad to be stripped away of that reminder that we are women and we have all that we need to bring our baby into the world. That we aren’t just machine. We have a mind and emotions and we needs all the mental and emotional strength, not just information on our mechanisms, which is helpful too.
