Prenatal Part 2 - Labour and Birth

Midwife Holliday Tyson teaching a Prenatal Class at Maternity Care Midwives in Thunder Bay, Ontario on January 9th 2015.

[@christinebucher5401]

This class is great. I paid $80 for a class through my hospital but I found this one to be more informative. Thanks so much for making this free and available for everyone!

[@mariannasofianidou6584]

They asked me for $ 300 AU included dad

[@thebriasmith3374]

Facts 👌🏾

[@Pointlesspeach]

marianna sofianidou really? They’re free in WA. They should be free everywhere in Australia. I’m not sure why anyone would charge women for knowledge that is ESSENTIAL

[@juliamakhubela]

Agreed! She’s incredible ❤️🌼

2023 and I'm 34 weeks pregnant and this 3 part series is so helpful! Thank you.

[@luslife7815]

I cant believe this is Free on KZbin. You're saving us perspective moms, lots of money and time and this info is so helpful!!! Thank you! This education should be free to everyone. Even online, classes cost $80+ each, so I really appreciate it your videos. Thanks again!

[@Patricia-7288]

K L I second this comment. Very appreciative for this video, thank you really and truly

[@00aga00]

I’m learning the same thing at my in-class birth class and paying $120 😳

[@mikilynn471]

Honestly these classes shouldn’t be free bc these teachers go through α lot of schooling and experience to learn all of these things and they deserve to get compensated for their service. Articles on the internet are free but sit down classes like these deserve to make some money for their time and to pay for their building rent, electricity, water, up keep, etc

Miki Lynn are you kidding me right now guy😑

[@ashchilly]

[@candaceczerny6838]

These classes SAVED ME. Due to Coronavirus my birthing and breastfeeding classes were both cancelled. With this being my first baby I had no idea what to expect. This class was so informative and much better than any other videos I have found. I finally feel mostly ready to have my baby. Thank you so much!

Thank you for these free classes during the COVID 19 pandemic. I'm in my 31st week of pregnancy. The hospital cancelled their antenatal classes. I could not thank the instructor enough!!!

[@Pointlesspeach]

Are you 39 weeks now? Good luck 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@TheSideOfJoE]

I’m 39 weeks pregnant with my second child and with my first, I watched these prenatal classes and they helped and worked so much! I was able to give birth naturally and praying I am able to do this again. It helped me tremendously. Thank you so much!

[@TheSideOfJoE]

Just an update guys the same day I did these exercises with some sex with my husband, we went into labor. Naturally, my exact due day, With my second child. Was in labor for 4 hours then active labor for less than 2 hours after my water broke from home. I did these same exercises for my first. This really works guys I encourage you to stick it out at home before going to the hospital. You can do it ladies!

[@MotivateMary]

Congratulations on your delivery and little one!!!!! I'm 17 weeks and these videos are making me want to be 39 weeks already.

[@TheSideOfJoE]

[@anarchist_parable]

37 weeks today and couldn't get access to a labor class to save our lives (overbooked or expensive.) This is my first child and I'm living 900 miles from my family. So profoundly grateful that this information was made available. Thank you so much 🙏🏾

[@colleenampofo7262]

I wish you were my midwife! This presentation was enjoyable and very clear. It has helped to ease the anxiety that I had surrounding labour and delivery. Thank-you for making this available and I'm even happier that I have found this at 34 weeks and a couple of days - right in time!

[@viktorflores595]

These videos are extremely helpful for expecting partners especially during this COVID crisis here in NYC. We were planning to do it in a hospital but with everything going on and all the changing policies in the hospitals, we have moved to birthing center.

This was extremely helpful. My Husband and I both watched all three parts. We feel very fortunate to have been able to receive this information. It was so useful and empowering. Thank you truly

[@GoldenStubble]

Jam packed with SO much helpful information. Holliday has DECADES of experience and she compressed all of this knowledge into these 3 short segments in a super compelling way. We really enjoyed this free online class and it was SO VALUABLE!

[@Withjoyfulsenescence]

This is a treasure of a video. Should be shared and recommended to all mom-to-be's. Thanks so much for being so informative but not dragging. :)

[@TM-mr3de]

Thank you for making this free and accessible. Women in the US are already being charged out the you know where it's nice to have this ready and available from the comfort of your home.

[@RaeaXo]

So glad I found these videos since all classes are cancelled due to the current situation!

[@niamhtheresa2043]

The lady hosting this is so wonderful and soothing. I’ve been absolutely terrified and felt in the dark about my choices and understanding. She really has helped enforce my choices and understand what is happening. I can’t thank you enough ❤️❤️❤️

[@amymorissette5212]

Thank you so much for posting this video online! I am due in 30 days and was SO scared!! I am feeling much better after watching your video. I've got this now💪🏽

[@DhairyaPujara]

Thank you so much for this video. Watched this with my wife today. We are 36 weeks so far.. getting ready. We didn't take any in person classes, cost being one of the factor. This is a gem. Blessings to you. The clarity of information, the cultural, gender and racial sensitivity you brought right from first part of the video is truly amazing. Thank you again!

[@TheSideOfJoE]

Congratulations to you both!

[@Emilia-wu9dy]

thank you so much for being so balanced with your views & generous with your information !

[@martaguerra71]

Holliday is a fantastic teacher. I am delighted I stumbled on this video. It's not my first baby, however, you can never be prepared enough since on the day it's all about giving over! Watching from Ireland where all prenatal classes are cancelled due to the pandemic.

[@dominiquewomack5590]

I don't comment much on videos but I am so thankful for the information you have given. You have saved so many mother's. This is awesome. I hope God blesses you for being such a blessing to new mother's. I honestly cannot afford any birthing classes. Your quality and expertise is beyond what money can buy for my sincerest gratitude. Thank you 💗😌

[@kelseypelham4682]

Thank you so much for posting these videos. I live in a smaller town where there aren't so many classes offered. These are some of the best free videos I have found.

Great presentation. I am very happy to be able to find this before giving birth.

[@IAMTIARAJOY]

I just turned 26 weeks with my first child; I’m super scared but excited too. Listening to her makes me feel so comfortable about labor and everything before & after it. She’s a great instructor. I have a whole notebook of everything she is saying because it’s so informative! Definitely will pass these videos on to other mothers as well! Great watch !

[@scottfamily865]

As an aspiring midwife, this overview of the birthing process has really helped to give me a good understanding of what to expect during birth as the midwife. As a young woman who has not experienced giving birth myself, I want to know as much as possible, to be the best nurse that I can be, even without having had a birth of my own. I don’t want to allow the lack of having had a babe of my own to discourage me, as I am praying about the direction the Lord will have me to go, and I see this wonderful work as a calling. Thank you for this!
