How to Nail Up Breathing | Hypnobirthing Breathing Techniques | The Positive Birth Company

[@abby1577]

Just wanted to comment to say thank you! I found you pretty late in my pregnancy and in fear of labour and birth, your videos just made sense to me and I began practicing the breaths and read your book (so fast!) When I came to be in labour I remembered everything I had read and did the breathing techniques. Initially I did take gas and air but quickly realised I didn't need it, the up breathing was far more effective! I went on to have a completely natural water birth and the experience was so magical. My little girl is now three weeks old and I'm telling everyone about you! Thank you so much for all of your advice xx

Gave birth 4 weeks ago. Your videos/advice/info helped me have a positive birth. Thank you so much 💜

[@febberz]

Finally a breath technique/guided breathing that lets me finish breathing out - I've always found people start counting to breathe in again way before I'm ready!

Hi. I just wanted to say your video helped me so so much during childbirth. I went in expecting a c section as I had planned for one due to psychological fear of a vaginal delivery. However my water broke early and labour progressed so fast in my case that the doctor recommended I try the vaginal way because a c section would be risky. I had of course prepared for both births, not thinking that I’d ever use these breathing techniques. 😅 during both stages of labour I was able to implement your up and down breathing. Up breathing during those frequent contractions was extremely difficult but I tried my best. It was so painful but I was able to be distracted slightly. Down breathing they way you explained (in the other video) was so helpful! I truly felt the progress I was making. I was mentally picturing your instructions during these phases😊 Thank you for a short and simple explanation.

In early labour now, this is definitely helping! My contractions too far apart so at home watching this and it's helping with my contractions. Getting uncomfortable back pain as well and this helped. This is really helping highly recommend. Im doing a natural shower birth 😊

[@thepositivebirthcompany]

How wonderful to get a message from you whilst you were in labour! It's great that we helped! Best wishes x

[@charcW8850]

I’ve had 5 labors (about to go into my 6th in 4 weeks!) your videos have been the best labor helps that I have found. Breathing DEFINITELY works and really minimizes discomfort during the contractions

[@hannahsoper]

This video was truly the main thing that helped me through my second birth. With my first I had gas, 10s machine, epidural. With my second, nothing. All mainly because I was just focused on breathing and managing through that. Also the knowledge of this video that gave me the awareness to trust my body. Thank you!

[@emilyhelms477]

Trying to get my sinuses cleared from Covid… I’m close to 38 weeks and I’m praying I can get my breathing back before labor kicks in! (Watching this video currently with a nose bleed too… ugh.) Breathing was a total game changer from my first to second birth! ♥️

[@agirlaguyandababy7555]

I am currently having the same issue , trying to practice the breathing but currently with covid so finding it hard , hopefully it gets better soon . Did you have baby already ?

[@emilyhelms477]

@@agirlaguyandababy7555 thankfully recovered from Covid! Baby was due yesterday and I thought I was going into labor last night! Couldn’t sleep through contractions, so took a melatonin at 1am and everything stopped and I slept. :/ waiting for them to get back up in frequency and intensity…

[@agirlaguyandababy7555]

@@emilyhelms477 I hope everything goes well with you lovely. And baby has a safe arrival .

[@megajandel3997]

This video and the other on down breathing are truly amazing and simple videos. I used the techniques shown in both when labouring and giving birth to my beautiful baby boy last week. I used gas and air in conjunction with the techniques for the last 3hrs of labour and that was it no other drugs or pain killers. Cannot explain how thankful i am to have found these wonderful videos and to have followed through with the advice given 🙂

[@thepositivebirthcompany]

We love this! Congratulations!!

[@radeckamarta]

I’m so grateful for your book, videos and all the work you do. Whenever I have pain or tension in my body now I do up breathing and it doesn’t take long for it to disappear. Thanks to hypnobirthing I’m now more excited than scared about giving birth.

[@alexhounsell8383]

Me and my wife found your videos really helpful. Thanks for helping us prepare for our second birth!

[@camillaminelli5879]

I've just had my second baby and in labour this technique was perfect. 💕🙏🏻

[@thepositivebirthcompany]

Thats fantastic to hear!! 🥰 Congratulations from all of us here at PBC on the new addition to your family!

[@snowcastlecats]

We love your information and presentation style. English is my wifes 2nd Language but she can understand you so well because you speak so clearly. We just purchased your Hypnobirthing course and im sure its going to help us a lot. I wish we had found your channel sooner! Thanks... Jason and Nui❤

[@LightBoxDays]

Hi thank you for this. I can't breath out longer than I breathe in though as I have the same amount of air. I find when I try to extend my out breath for double of my in breath there is no air left after 4 seconds.

[@ibamawiong1593]

2:24 for the practice

[@GenerationYoga]

Great tip. Thank you 🙏

[@aggieaggie9747]

Thank you for this video 🙏🙏 it's very helpful ❤️❤️❤️

[@geraldine_nong]

Thanks for sharing this valuable education ❤️

[@amy-aceping4224]

Great video - thank you!!

[@jednamalagaravaaaaaa]

Is the goal to breathe with your chest, expanding your ribs, or do you also engage your abdomen? Thank you!

[@kelseym.7216]

Abdominal breaths

[@athenagoldsby4497]

Do you start to breath in when you feel the contraction?? I’m looking at your videos bc I’m having my baby next week. Thanks for your reply

[@michelleconroy5000]

Thank you x

[@orangeemotions9649]

Hi, I wanna practise this breathing exercise everyday before going into labour so that it becomes part of my system. Can you tell what is the ideal body and back position (sitting position to practise this) to practise this?

[@edah4563]

Thank you very much, my due is at 18th I hope this time will be easier than the first one 🙏🥰

[@sakaeparadise]

Hi, may i know when is a good time to start your hypnobirthing class? Like at which trimester or during what weeks into pregnancy?

[@thepositivebirthcompany]

Hello! There's no hard and fast rule about when to start the course and as you have a full 12 months access you can revisit the content as many times as you like throughout your pregnancy x

[@kashbash9645]

Wow, that room decor though

[@morganconnelly3147]

Can I use this breathing technique with gas and air? Xx

[@ReBecca_N9]

Struggled to do 8 seconds !

[@danielae7056]

Me too😂

[@melcarrim5215]

Same I didn’t have much to blow out in 8 seconds lol

[@LUDOfanGIRL]

It took me a bit of practice. I just had to keep breathing out slower and slower and I eventually was able to do 8 seconds. I realised I kept breathing out too fast as that's what I'm used to.

[@kristinelagasca5465]

Im 32 weeks is it ok practice this?

[@elliegabriella9784]

Sorry interrupted here..may I know what name of this breathing techniques

[@melissapanayeta]

I love this woman. Thank you so much

[@anastasiiagoralska4258]

Siobhan, how to feel when the up-stage is finished and changes to down-stage? so to change the breathing.

[@nirvanaz5042]

Honestly you can just tell. Your body just shifts gears and you feel this overwhelming urge to push. So just follow your body, it'll guide you and lead the way xx

[@kylezimmerman685]

Is it ok for a mom to be 40 weeks pregnancy

[@Artisticwhit]

You can be 42 weeks safely unless water has broken but docs may scare you.

[@kylezimmerman685]

For a mom how would she delivery her baby

[@staceysmith7326]

Could this technique not be done by breathing in through your mouth? I have pregnancy rhinitis and my nose is practically blocked at all times. Thanks in advance

[@mattcleech]

Yes. But wear chapstick as to not dry out your lips.

[@thepositivebirthcompany]

Absolutely - do whatever feels comfortable for you ☺
