So, ever since I was 12, now 18, I have been so traumatized at how people explained birth, the stories I heard about birth in a hospital were horrific, but as I listened it sounded like something was wrong, like the doctors had no clue what they're doing, but when I found this channel, I cannot believe how good God is for taking my fear away, these videos make me feel so relaxed, and hopefully one day, I will have a baby following these wonderful steps, thank you so much❤❤❤

Private or public hospitals and birthing/lying in clinics are the same😢. However, i am bringing with me my birth plan and a spokesperson for when i am going to the hospital, hopefully they will grant it. Please pray for me

[@elinamakela8435]

The "peek-a-boo" can be frustrating and hospital staff is likely to pressure you to push out the baby, but it can also be your best friend. I didn’t tear during my first birth because I felt the stretch in the crowning so clearly and did some back-and-forth with the pushing. The pushing was 15 minutes so the baby was fine. I did midwife-led pushing but in this labour I want to feel the clear urge to push or preferably fetal eject reflex before I do anything because pushing was hard work and I was pushing "blindly" too much into my perineal because I had no insticts.

Ho partorito in casa la mia prima figlia. È stata un'esperienza fantastica. Ero completamente libera di muovermi come preferissi senza l'obbligo di stare sdraiata sulla schiena (è una posizione che blocca il movimento del coccige, quindi, anche se per pochi centimetri, non ne permette il basculaggio). Mio marito mi è stato affianco, eravamo nella tranquillità di casa nostra, nella nostra vasca con acqua calda e 2 ostetriche ci hanno seguito nell'ultima ora e mezza e poi dopo la nascita. Ora che sono incita di gemelli sono costretta ad andare in ospedale e spero che vada altrettanto bene... In ospedale ti trattano come numeri.

Currently 39 weeks and 4 days and I am in the military and I asked them if it was a policy for them to push at 10CM and they said “no, we let mommas know when they have the urge to push” I am lowkey so excited

[@samanthab5006]

I'm currently 12 weeks pregnant but doing research so I can be organized when I ask my doctor questions about labor and delivery. The hospital I'm delivering at has peanut balls and exercise balls standard in every room and wireless monitoring though I've heard that can be finicky. I suppose I feel a bit like my doctor will laugh at me if I ask about delivering in positions other than my back like on all 4s or about waiting to push until I'm ready. In the US are doctors really open to these things or are you pretty much stuck with what the hospital tells you to do?

Can these positions be used if I get an epidural? Or does an epidural basically disable the patient from getting on hands and knees?

It depends on the type of epidural, but it is possible for some women to get on hands and knees with an epidural or side-lying is great with epidural :)
