HOW TO DILATE FASTER DURING LABOUR- 11 GREAT TIPS TO DILATE THE CERVIX FASTER & SPEED UP LABOUR!

[@HypnobirthingWithAnja]

Hi ladies, I hope that you find these tips helpful and that you will remember them so you can dilate faster during labour! Do you have any ideas for videos/audios you would like to see on my channel? Please let me know by leaving me a comment. Thanks! Love, Anja xxxx

Suggestions for what to pack to eat! I packed a lot of dry food and couldn't eat it due to contractions every 2 mins so wish I had actually packed baby food pouches which would have been easier to gobble down with only a few seconds to spare including asking people to help me change position, water etc. Also an explanation of spinning babies for dummies because while the advice there is gold, I have never seen such a confusing website snd it is written in a very convoluted and confusing way so it was impossible for me to get my partner on board and we couldn't flip OP baby in labour. I flipped transverse baby on my own at 34-36 weeks with spinning babies so he thought he didn't need to know what I was doing but you can't explain that in labour and can't so side lying on your own. I couldn't anyway. Even now not pregnant I cannot balance

[@rayann7331]

1. Walking to allow gravity to pull baby down 2. Sitting upright or bouncing on yoga ball 3. Hydration, 1 small glass every hour 4. Sit on the toilet every hour to allow bladder to empty and allow more room for your cervix to fully dilate 5. Sitting back to front on the toilet allowing your hips to be elevated above knees 6. Hypnobirthing breathING techniques to enhance production of oxytocin (video link at 4:56) 7. Listen to hypnobirthing coaching (video link at 4:38) 8. Stay warm, cold creates tension 9. Nipple stimulation to encourage strength of contractions 10. Labour in dimly lit or dark room 11. Use acupressure (7:47)

My hubby was hugging me last night and telling me how happy I made him and I was so happy to hear his compliments and feel his love that I wanted to do the same and it trigger a big contraction and been having them back all night an morning since but irregularly. Pretty sure that moment released a lot of oxytocin and it triggered it. Crazy how our bodies work. I am waiting to be term before going in active labor, so been working on staying relaxed and not irritating my cervix but all this is great for after 37 weeks. :) We will do more cuddles as well.

[@HypnobirthingWithAnja]

Really lovely to hear from you! You may have just had a Braxton Hicks contraction (practice contractions for the real thing). How many weeks pregnant are you now? Happy to hear you are having lots of lovely cuddles with your husband ❤️

[@never_give_up90]

@@HypnobirthingWithAnja I thought they were too. I assumed they hurt cause baby was pressing down with each. Until I went in to check fetal movement. I couldn't feel the baby at all and my baby flipped to the side behind my anterior placenta but was moving up a storm. That's how I found out those were real contractions and dilating me, which I was explained the reason for why they didn't go way after hottub(adjusted) and hot shower(during the process they did but after they were stronger). They have picked up since and I was checked today. Another NST tomorrow and a weekly scan. I was discharged with paperwork for preterm but told that I'll be term in 2 days and just take it easy. I have 2 kids and their contraction experiences were different from each other and this one. I didn't realize those were the actual contractions at all. I have a history of stalling labor with my kids and last one was induced after a day of labor(year + ago). It dilated me far and stopped both times. I am assuming this is happening again but clearly, no one is planning on inducing me right now for all the right reasons. I do have induction scheduled :)

[@never_give_up90]

@@HypnobirthingWithAnja ... and I'm sorry, Ill be 37 weeks tomorrow. So I will be term, according to them. They were okay with me having natural labor after that day and had no instructions on preventing it, just what to do if they actually do end up turning into active labor. I have a huge doubt it ever will, based on previous experience, but one can dream. After all, I did start this process earlier than with my older kids. 🤞 That's why I am here. Maybe in a week or two but Ill be induced at 39 for medical reasons and it was my choice to wait until 39 weeks in hopes of natural birth. I can't go walking, it's too hot.

Do you have any suggestions specifically for VBAC? Also, my first placenta turned out to have necrosis and I was 6 days overdue: is there anything I can do to avoid going overdue again?

[@HypnobirthingWithAnja]

Hi! Thanks so much for your message. I am happy to hear that your daughter is doing well 😍 but I'm sorry your had a bit of a stressful time during her birth. I would watch my induce labour video series for tips to get labour started at home by yourself (you'll find them on my channel). I need to create a video on VBAC. It's on my list of videos to do 📋. It may not be ready in time for your baby's birth but this is a really helpful article which could help you:www.bellybelly.com.au/birth/vbac-tips-advice/ ❤️❤️❤️

I have written a script of positive VBAC affirmations and I will record it tomorrow. I'll send you the link when I've recorded it. Hopefully I can get the link to you by the middle of next week xxx

[@ELisa-qf2mw]

@@HypnobirthingWithAnja wow, thank you so much! I am astonished at how those mothers from the article you linked could stay so strong as to go for the VBAC even after being discouraged by medical staff, and I realize how lucky I am. The one who first incouraged me to try a VBAC is the very same doctor who did my cesarean, and all the rest of the hospital staff is consistently pro VBAC. HBAC is not an option here in Italy, but I wouldn't want it either. Knowing that I will have to be under constant fetal heartbeat monitoring actually reassures me, because I know that should things go bad again, they could not get so close to tragedy like the first time. Much as cesarean was a trauma for me, I am still hugely grateful and trustful to the hospital staff, obviously for saving my first baby, but also for the way they took care of us, a very human and supportive way. My confidence shook a little bit when I saw the agreement paper from the hospital, and it mentioned that with VBAC the baby has 1 in 1000 chance to die inside the womb during the last week of pregnancy. What does that mean? Is that something that holds true for any pregnancy? It seems a really high number to me. Or is it a subtle, untold way to encourage women to opt for the scheduled c-section at 39 weeks?

[@HypnobirthingWithAnja]

@@ELisa-qf2mw those stats for VBAC babies do seem high. I do not know any VBAC statistics so I can't explain them unfortunately. I would like to know where the results came from and what studies were actually carried out or whether it's just calculated risk and not based on any real life events. I would ask someone about it if it is worrying you. On a happy note, I am really happy that you are well supported in Italy and that your care teams have been good when you had your daughter and now with your second baby. I am sure you can have a really calm and joyful vaginal birth this time. I will get the affirmations to you next week as soon as I've been able to record them for you ❤️

Makes sence why i didnt dilate for hours on end.. my babys head was larger than normal (gestational diabetes) so he didnt come down until i was with the help of oxytocin 10cm dilated. So his head didnt really help me dilate.

[@inspiredbygod4791]

Thank you for this informative video.! I have a question for you, I am pregnant for the second time, but with my first child, during labour I was vomiting so much, that really hindered me from doing anything else to relax during labour. I really wish I could avoid that from happening with my second Labour, do you have any tips for this? And no, I did not eat anything 6 hours prior to labour...

[@HypnobirthingWithAnja]

Hi! Thanks for your question. Many women are sick during labour because they don't eat or drink enough before or during labour. So, it's really important, that when labour starts, you are drinking little and often but also eating small snacks as well. Little bites of food and sips of drinks is so important. That can actually stop you from vomiting. It's also important to focus on slow breathing if you do feel sick or are sick again this time. Hopefully you won't be but slow breathing stops your body getting stressed and can lower adrenaline in your blood stream (panic, stress and adrenaline can all increase feelings of sickness so you need to avoid this). Hope that helps ❤️

But giving birth in Eastern European countries is another challenge, things in the hospitals are different than in other countries... Women are really not given enough support by the medical team

[@HypnobirthingWithAnja]

@@inspiredbygod4791 Hi Nuri! I love your name 💕 😍 What country are you from? I'm sorry to hear that in your country the care teams in the hospitals are not very supportive. It's really up to your partner to advocate for you and demand that your needs are attended to. Was your partner with you when you gave birth last time?

[@ludimangulo8213]

I will be induced at 37 weeks. I'm terrified the labor will be long. My first was only 4 hrs long. I want to hold off on the epideral because I want to be able to do this things. What do you suggest? I'll speak to my Healthcare team as well.

[@HypnobirthingWithAnja]

Hi Ludim, thanks for your question. You may have a short induction as your body has muscle memory from your previous labour so it is likely to not be a long labour this time. Usually you can have an epidural up to 8cm dilated so there are lots of things you can do before that. Also, ask your care team if they can offer you a mobile/walking epidural (or a low dose epidural). That means your legs will not be completely numb and you can still move about. If you do have a full dose epidural, try to lie on your side semi reclined, rather than on your back as that can help you have a smoother, easier birth. Hope that helps 💓

I'm at 32 weeks with a short cervix. Have been advised bed rest and short trips to washroom only. Can u suggest some help?

[@HypnobirthingWithAnja]

I would do what the doctor is advising you to do right now as you don't want to give birth prematurely if possible. This video is about how to dilate faster in labour so the tips in this video should only be used for labour that starts around your due date 💕

[@nasteexoaa6872]

I have short cervix every pregnancy I can not stand more than 10 minutes little actives until I reach 36 weeks and one of my child came at 32 weeks. So you are almost there just listen to your Dr's advice

When should you go to the hospital after water breaks

[@HypnobirthingWithAnja]

It depends. If your waters break before labour starts or they break before 37 weeks of pregnancy or there is any green or brown discharge in your waters you should go to the hospital as soon as possible. During labour, if your waters break you need to be monitoring your contractions and go in when you think you can't manage at home anymore. Usually this is when your contractions are about 3-4 minutes apart and lasting about a minute. X

[@jaabinxzee7427]

Will hit 41 weeks this weekend. Not even 2cm dilated. Please pray for a natural safe birth.

Hi! Thanks for your message 😀 Wishing you a calm and safe birth. Relax and enjoy the final days of pregnancy as much as you can. Trust your body, trust your baby. Your labour will begin when your baby decides. Trust the process 🌹💞😘

Why is my contractions so painful that even urinating become a problem.... I urinate but still my bladder feels like it's still full 😓 what might be the problem...my pregnancy is at 38wks

[@HypnobirthingWithAnja]

Hi Grace, I'm not sure why urinating is painful for you. You may have an infection in your bladder or a urinary tract infection. I would go to see a doctor for help and explain what is happening. 💓

[@AkshitaWadhawan]

These seem to be really useful. Hope I get to use these tricks as I'm heading for some complications. I am 36 weeks pregnant but my amniotic fluid is less (8cm) and baby's growth is also lagging behind by 2 weeks. Will I be able to have a normal delivery? How should I increase my amniotic fluid?

Why didn’t the nurses give these tips? I ended up having C-section failure to progress

[@HypnobirthingWithAnja]

Sometimes nurses are so medicalized in their approach that they do not know or even think about other natural methods that can help women in labour. Unfortunately that is just the world we live in which is why childbirth education is so important for women today. I hope you're ok. How did your C-section go? 🌹💓

Am 37 and 6 days gone but the doctor told me yesterday after having a scan done that my baby is 3.88kg and once my baby gets bigger he is booking me for c-section I have been so worried and crying as I really want a vaginal delivery However I am trying to fall in labour this week but at the moment it doesn't feel like it at all

[@HypnobirthingWithAnja]

Hi Sube, have you got gestational diabetes? Unless you have that, there's no reason that you can't have a vaginal birth. Gestational diabetes can cause bigger babies because they consume more glucose as your body can't metabolise it. However, if you don't have this condition, it's likely your baby is average size and scans/belly measurements are not 100% accurate. What country do you live in? In some countries, they are very quick to enforce certain procedures on you but you have to ask questions and assert yourself. 💕

38 weeks+ now, and having a lower back pain that I can barely walk, and the baby don't really move much this time, also have like yellow discharge, and the tightening of my stomach is more often... Is it a sign of labor?

[@HypnobirthingWithAnja]

It could be a sign of labour but I am not 100% sure. I am a bit concerned about the yellow discharge. Does it smell? I am just wondering if you have an infection. It may be your mucus plug but again I am not sure. You may be experiencing back pain because you are experiencing back labour and because your baby is in a back-to-back position. I would advise you to see your doctor as soon as possible to see what is going on and to ensure that you and baby are both ok.
