I gave birth at 41 wks + 3 days with my first, and it was a membrane sweep that helped kickstart labour. I’m now 40 wks + 3 days with my second and I’m feeling a bit disappointed! I’m not having any signs of labour. I’ve been doing all my preparations but very worried that I’d need to get induced. I guess we’re all learning about our bodies. Maybe I just give birth around 41 weeks. I feel my baby right in my pelvis and keep thinking that I will get into labour every night but still nothing hahah!
Edit: my first labour was 21 hours, and yesterday I went into labour spontaneously with my second, and active labour was all less than 3 hours. I pushed in the car and gave birth within 15 mins of arriving to hospital, with 2 pushes she was out. I was pleasantly surprised hahah
This sounds so much like my births! I carried my first 2 to until over 41 weeks. First labor was LONG (36 hrs total) and second was 4 hrs active labor lol. Expecting our third this year so I’m hoping it goes well and on the shorter side.
I was completely expecting all the things you said! My baby boy came a week early and was born within 13 minutes of arriving to our birth center! 😵💫😵💫😵💫 Baby number 2 came a couple days after expected “due” date and just as fast as my first! I knew what to look for and made it to the birth center with about 45 minutes to spare! Haha for my third I am planning a home birth! Lol 😂
wow! Those are fast labors!! I think a homebirth with a mdiwife sounds like a great idea for you, LOL!!
@@CajunStork
That’s what my midwife said haha she was like you should really look into a home birth if you are having more kids. Lol
1st baby was a 10 hour labor 2nd baby was 5 hours (almost born in car) and 3rd baby was about 2-3 hours (home birth). Currently expecting number 4th and hoping and praying for a similar experience to number 3.
This is SO accurate!!
My first birth almost 24hrs long after being induced at 43wks
2nd birth labor began naturally and so smooth! Only 12hrs 🥳
3rd birth was a nightmare 😂 Labor did start naturally at 42wk. Baby got in a bad position and labor lasted forever!
I’m 37weeks with baby number 4 and this video gives me hope that it will like my 2nd birth 🙏🏼
Baby #5 on the way!! 1st baby was 23 hours long. 2nd baby was c-section. I found it interesting what you said about your first v-bac because that was definitely my experience with my 3rd (14 hours) my 4th was a beautiful 6 hours! Hoping for that with baby #5 as well!
Baby no. 1 born at 38w2d. Entire labor took 24 hrs however I didn’t realize I was in full on labor until my midwife arrived and notified me I was 9.75cm dilated! I pushed him out within the next two hours. It was a GREAT labor. When the midwife was leaving my house I was asking her to come to my next birth! Ha! I’m 12 weeks postpartum.
I am 41+3, I noticed you don't have many videos about due dates or late term pregnancy. I surely hope I'll have my baby by the time you're able to make a video, but it could be great for future late term mamas! This has been a mental rollercoaster!
What kind of questions do you have about it? I don’t have anything in my list to shoot for this topic but would be happy to put one together.
@@CajunStork Maybe some misconceptions about due dates, how they're calculated. The risks of going late term or on the flip side...the normalcy of going late term! People are so used to the 39 week induction so going anything over 40 weeks is so foreign to a lot of people!
First 12hours, second 4hours, third baby 2 hours, forth 1:45. Baby number five is due in 5 weeks. Excited to see if your prediction is true
This is so interesting. I’m due with baby #4 in a couple months and I’m planning a home birth this time. My previous three births have all been in the hospital and I was put on pitocin and had an epidural every time. It’s encouraging to know that baby #4 might be pretty easy as I don’t know what it’s like to labor naturally.
So much of this rings true for me! Baby #1 my longest and most drawn out birth, which almost ended in an emergency c section, though he was 3 days early. Baby #2 the most blessed and easy birth out of all my babies! I literally said right after my son was born, "That's it!? I could do that again!!!" Lol. My husband and I are currently expecting our 10th baby in a few months time and I am praying for and envisioning an easy productive birth! Can't wait to meet our baby girl! 💓
That's awesome!' Congrats!!!
@@CajunStork thank you! 🙏 ❤️
Just had baby #3 2 weeks ago and we barely made it to the hospital. Got to the hospital at 9:05 Am and baby was on my chest at 9:36 am.
All natural with this one where I was induced with both my older kids. None of my labors or deliveries were long at all.
My second labor was miserable but my 3rd was amazing.
German midwife here pregnant with No 2 at 21 weeks ☺ had a wonderful 7 hour first birth at a birth house with my son, and am planning a home birth for this one now (which is extremely uncommon in Germany unfortunately)
I love your video and have to say, I agree with everything you said from my midwife experience!! Like it's literally the truth: the first is the slowest, the second goes much faster and the third does whatever it wants 😂
I am the third myself and after my mom had 2 uncomplicated, vaginal births (second being super fast), I was an emergency C-Section due to an Amnion infection 😂
Number 3 and I definitely believe you when you say baby number 3 will do whatever they want at delivery it's now 17weeks n this pregnancy is nothing like my first 2...thank you for your content ☺️
3weeks away from baby no2 due date. First active labour was 21hours long so would be a blessing to have the second one half the time of first one🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼can t wait to see how it will be🥰
Thank you for the info! I’ve been really curious about VBAC timing. This is the first good answer I’ve found. I’m currently pregnant with baby #2. I had a c-section with #1 at 6cm. Everyone keeps saying to expect it to be exactly like a first birth, which I can’t imagine would be true since I have labored before. This video really helped to clarify things.
Glad it was helpful!
I am on pregnancy 7. VBAC, last was a twin cesarean but last labor from time my water broke to time babe was here (baby 4) was 3 hours!!! I am currently 37 weeks and 3 days, I lost my mucous plug yesterday and have been cramping this morning but nothing regular.
I’m Anxiously waiting for baby #6 arrival. Due may 15th 😍
Love this! Just had my first and it was a bit faster than expected. Less than 9 hours total. Went from a 6 to an 8 in 15 mins! So I suppose with my second I should intentionally prepare for an even faster birth 😅
34 weeks with baby #2 and planning a home birth! I’ve been searching for these kinds of stats. Thank you so much for making this video!
Can you make one about gestational age at time of birth, if and how that correlates with birth order?? Pretty please :)
me too 34 weeks and 2nd baby lol
Expecting baby number 3 here. I had fast natural births in a births for one and two. We will see what I have for this time. Planning a home birth with my midwife here. :) I love my birth team. Thank you for your encouragement
I’m in my 9th pregnancy (2 of those have been miscarriages). So this will be my 7th full-term birth. My 3rd was fast! Then my 4th was gradual and so peaceful. 5th was extremely fast- 2 hours start to finish. My 6th ended up being an induction, but I think it would have been another precipitous birth had my body been able to go into labor naturally. One odd thing about my births is that they keep getting later and later. My first 3 were all born before their due dates. My last 3 were all at or over 41 weeks! The longest pregnancy was my 6th! I tell myself that my body just gets tougher each time 😂. I’m currently 25 weeks with this baby and imagining a pretty fast labor this time.
I’m currently having my 6th
My 1st was 9 days late, 36.5hrs labour
2nd was on due date, 12.5hrs labour
3rd (my BEST) was day before due date, 6hrs and fastest pushing
4th was 2 weeks overdue and I was induced, 6.5hrs from start of induction but only 4hrs of contractions
5th was also 42 weeks and induced, over 9hrs from time of induction to him coming out
I will add that all 5 were pain med free
Currently 38 weeks with #6
With me it was so the opposite! The 1st labor was literally 2 hrs long, 2nd labor was the HARDEST (induced) super painful and was in labor for 6 or 7 hrs, now mu 3rd was super easy, I was already crowning when I got to the hospital, pushed maybe 3 times and she was out. I'm expecting my 4th so super anxious to see how this one goes 😅
Did/do you work at Lafayette hospital in LA? You look like the midwife who worked on staff with at Dr. Cudihy’s OB office, and helped me with two of my pregnancies. Your picture is what actually caught my eye here on RUclips because of that.
Yup! That’s me. I worked in his office for almost three years!
Cajun Stork - Midwife Kira at Natural Birthhouse that’s so cool! You were great helping me through my pregnancy visits 🤍 I’m so glad I found you and can follow you here on RUclips!
Just had my 3rd. I was dilated to 3-4cm for almost a month before giving birth. I was 5 days over the due date and I was not in any pain after my water broke. It took almost 24 hours before baby came out.
#3 here we go! Finally have insurance that covers a midwife and birth center this time. So excited, so 😊 😃!
First was 7 hours, second was 5 hours, third was 5 hours, fourth was 1.5 hours!
Thanks for sharing!
Ohhhh
Lucky you
Which was your favorite?
My first was 31 hours the longest,my second was 9 hours,hope for fastest delivery in this 3rd pregnancy
I was so excited until you got to the VBAC part 😭 I only made it to 6 cm. However I also think being on the magnesium drip, painful cervical checks and being stressed probably slowed things down quite a bit. Hoping 2nd time around is much better and hopefully doesn't take nearly as long. I was in labor via induction with my 1st from Monday afternoon to Thurs morning before c section.
My first pregnancy was with twins and planned c section due to both being breech. This time just 1 and planning a vbac and hoping for the best 🤗
Yup. Baby 6 labor was wonky. The contractions never got closer than 2 min but they were ultra-super-strength ;-)
I love your videos
I feel so out of place. First was 36 weeks and 24 minutes from the time my water broke to her arrival. (I have a high tolerance for pain so I felt tightness but didn’t think they were contractions.) Second I had to be induced at 37 weeks and 12 hours (I personally will never recommend Pitocin to ANYONE) my water broke but a slow leak. Let’s see what my third brings.
My baby number 1 was 20 hours and I pushed 30 minutes my baby number 2 was 10 hours and I only pushed 3 times now I’m 33 weeks pregnant with baby number 3 and I’m hoping it’s faster then baby number 2🤞
Hi I'm new to your channel, just subscribed. My first pregnancy, i pushed for 2 hours and my labour was 26 hours long. My second pregnancy, my labour and birth was a lot faster and i didn't make it to hospital on time, had him outside someone's driveway. And pushing was about 20 minutes. All up 17 hour labour. I'm currently pregnant with baby #3 and am hoping this labour is not long but that i actually do make it to hospital lol.
Lol! Have you considered hiring a midwife for a homebirth? After a roadside delivery it wouldn’t be a bad idea!
First baby was c-section at 37 weeks. Second baby was first vbac at 40+2 and took 23 hours from beginning to end.
Third baby was 39 weeks and took only 8 1/2 hrs. (Had a membrane sweep at 2pm on the 8th, started laboring by midnight until 8:49am on the 9th.)
Baby number 4 is now due in two'ish weeks, it's been about 6 years since my third was born.
In my situation, it's almost like my second birth was more like my first, and my third came out like the second, quick and with no complications. So now with having my fourth who knows! 😆 🤷♀️ guess we shall see.
But I am working closely with my midwife, I found out my platelets (which were low for my last two pregnancies) have dropped so low I cannot do a homebirth unless I can improve my numbers back up above 110, as of the beginning of August my platelets dropped to 75,000 😬 so I was wondering Kira if you would do a video on women who struggle with low platelets. If you have already and I haven't seen it yet I apologize. I enjoy your videos, thanks again!
Expecting my 7th.... apparently I'm more consistent than normal. #1 was about 16 hours and took an hour of pushing. All the rest were between 11 and 14 hours and took between 8 to 15 minutes of pushing. 3 of my 6 were born at the exact same gestation, with 4 of them all being born in my 38th week and the other 2 only a day or two off. My last three have been the exact same size at birth. We will see if this little lady is our wild card.
Are there any changes to birth experience after miscarriages? For example, my first two pregnancies went by smooth and had really easy births. Unfortunately I suffered three miscarriage with pregnancy 3-5, but my sixth pregnancy has been healthy and great so far.
Not that I’ve noticed. So sorry for your losses though :(
@@CajunStork thank you!
I’m on baby 8…. T-9 weeks! 🥳
Uh oh. I'm on #3 the wild card. 😆
Well, bad news for me. Baby 2 was my worst labor and I'm coming up to baby 4 😢
Having baby 4 and at week 38! Having a lot of round ligament pain on left side. Ideas on how to relieve the pain before birth?
So interesting!!!
Did you know?
Wow. so true for my first two. I am wanting to get a midwife this time bc I had my second in a hospital with no drugs in 30 minutes. But I don’t like Theo isn’t nurses pushing vaccines and mask on me.
If i midwife accept my insurance I’m just nervous bc they can’t induce, can they??
My first baby was 8 days late. I didn’t go into birth on my own either time.
How many cups a day tea Is considered a good amount for vbac
Hi!! I just came home from my doctor appointment and I'm so discouraged at 38w5d and my cervixis completely closed. I've had two cesareans at about 41 weeks each becausemy babies were facing the wrong way, only 1 cm dilated naturally (my first baby was a failed induction 😑 I didn't know anything then). I'm aiming for a VBAC this time, but my doctor is pressuring me to schedule a c-section anyway at 41 weeks, and I keep denying it. Baby #3 is healthy, placenta is healthy, I'm healthy, what can we expect on the time-line?
And thank you for all of your videos, I am learning so much!
Don’t let the doctor scare you. They just want your money. Find a doctor that supports VBAC and have yourself the birth you’ve always wanted. You got this momma. You are so strong!
Do you know how baby is positioned? Maybe consider the miles circuit?
@@Alexis_9339 yes, he's head down and anterior like a good baby!
First baby came a little early around 37 weeks. I’m curious to know if my second will come early too.
Not necessarily. One baby doesn’t make a pattern. If you’d have two or three around the same times it’s more likely
I didn't fit the mold! Just have to expect the unexpected.
1st Birth: went into labor 1 day before my EDD, labored for 4 hours and I only pushed for 15 minutes.
#2: 10 days post EDD, midwife expected a faster birth but it was 8 hours and I probably had to push for about an hour.
#3: PRECIPITOUS (do not recommend!). I also don't recommend sharing the story with just anyone. They will say you were "lucky". Precipitous births are not like a 6-12hr labor but shorter, they are 0-3 hours of violence. One contraction can be more intense than any contraction you'd have in regular labor and they come one on top of the other with virtually no breaks.
#4: similar to #2
#5: easy all day labor that no one else besides me even noticed. I didn't say anything until I was near transition. Delivered a couple hours later. Pushed for 10 minutes.
#6: 6 hours of labor, 30-45 minutes of pushing.
Hi!❤️ the video❤️
38 weeks baby #4
🙏🏾for vba3c
1st baby got csection at about 8 to 81/2 centimeters
So basically does that mean labor is stalling?
Or that’s just how it works and I have to just be patient at the end of labor?
Thank you 😊❤️
Hello 🤗 this is a midwife from Morocco
hello!!
What about if you’re on baby #3 but the first two were csections and your body’s never gotten to go through labor and delivery? Would birth number 3 but considered birth #1 if it’s your first vaginal/natural/ HBA2C ?
I was barely 1cm and not really in labor with first, second was 3cm and in prodromal labor so 🤷🏻♀️ I don’t think I’ve ever really been in active labor so I’m leaning towards thinking this birth will basically be equivalent to if this were my first baby/pregnancy…. 😝
Yes. You’re body will be birthing vaginally for the first time so you’ll labor like a first time mom. Be sure you hire a doula!! It can make the experience so much more enjoyable!!
for your first baby
6-7lb baby.....
mine....
8.10
😕
overachiever..
Lol!
Just more baby rolls to love 💕
O my goodness, just had my first a few days ago and he was 9 pounds 4.5 ounces! 😅
#1 6 days over, 17 hrs active, 22 hrs total, push 2 hrs, OP baby. #2 8 days under, 7 hrs active, 28 hrs total, push 30 min. #3 1 day over, surprise induction, 9 hrs start to finish, push 15 min. Lol 👶
