That's so cool! I've been loving your birthing tips. You are really great at your job, I've never had a labor and delivery nurse like you, you should consider making all your videos into a course that you sell on a website, because I really think all labor and delivery nurses should know this stuff- and birthing moms also. I wish I had known this stuff with baby #1. I kind of gave up on hospital births, but you renew my hope that things could change in the future. Keep doing what you're doing. Bless you and your family.
I did a lot of walking with both of my pregnancies. Had both of them smooth and naturally all the way with no epidural or other meds. That is also how I sleep. I am due this June 2019 and hoping baby comes in at 38 or 39 weeks like my girls did. This time it's a boy, so definitely praying for another natural delivery. God bless you all pregnant women and congratz to all having babies this year 2019!!
I'm also due in june 2019.. It's my first pregnancy and i am so scared.. I also want normal delivery.. I need u to give me useful tips to have a smooth and normal delivery..
Few more weeks!!!! Just had our baby shower on May 4th....received soooo many gifts it was unbelievable...truly thankful and blessed....prayers for all pregnant women and their newborns!!
I was due 3 days ago! Currently in early labor! Contractions have been 20 mins apart and are gradually getting closer!!! Big ups to all of the moms that went through this beautiful process!!
@@the_birth_nurse Thankyou so much for these tips as they were so helpful. I was in active labor for only 4 hours! I didn't even think of the name Mandy! I wish I would've lol. I will tell her you said hi :).
I actually asked GOD to take at least 10% of the pain. I felt I couldn't do it . When it was time to push I felt no pain. HE went above what I had asked. Trust and believe 😀
Ephesians 3:20-21 New King James Version 20 Now (A)to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly (B)above all that we ask or think, (C)according to the power that works in us, 21 (D)to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
@@John-xi6jr This message came just in time. I'm reading this as I wait to be induced for labor and delivery. God bless you and this will be in my prayers 🙏🙌❤
Thank you for these tips Mandy! I don’t have a labor support person so these positions will be really helpful. Going to try some of these tonight, I’m 39 weeks. 😬 here’s hoping! 🤞
That is sooo true, I got a peanut ball and this thing worked amazingly after my epidural, it helped to speed up the process. My midwife was a blessing)
Normal delivery is not normal anymore Women are forced to not move , and lay on backs, hooked to lots of oxygen mask, machine and syringes and tubes thru noses , amd ECG, as if she is a heart patient . Even when no complication is there, Obviously with no movement her contractions turn aweful and abnornal patterns and no crowing happen, Also, women are told that laying flat on back majes baby get oyshed in spine and women are not able to 'Contract and relax their pelvic muscles to bring baby down and push or eject it out as woman totally loses control of her belly muscle, meaning it us unnatural to force woman in such pose for long times with no movement cos SHE CANNOT PUSH, (Would you force a man to lean on bed for 3 to 4 hoyrs luke statue with no movement and expect semen to come out in its own without he let to stimulate the system? I.e. what happen to women forced on back with no motion unable to push out a baby ) then thier vajina is cut chopped by blades without reasons (WHO has said, that changing birth positions ease sliding out of baby, and cutting vajina should not be doen as it lead to tears, and infections), and women's babies are roughly and harshly pulled with force before they could easily smoothly slid out causing wounds to her intimate canal, any random unknown staff oogle at private part of women and women are focred to bend knees in public places like labor rooms and show intimate part to men in hospitals, and tyen baby is not shown and taken away directky and fed formula milk. Is anything normal birth process in this , NO ! Women get so scared, that theyd emand ceserean instead of such violent coercion and vulnerability in name of normal delivery.
Where were you forty years ago when I needed your great advice and help. Things were so different then and you just did as you were told, no options. Everyone laboured and delivered the same, flat on your back.
My labor and delivery nurse had me use the peanut to help my daughter get into position. Literally had her within 15 minutes of using it. She was my second child. Much quicker final stage. Hoping my third will be just as quick as my other two.
Ur awesome. Seems labor and delivery nurses don’t have a lot of time to allocate to helping ladies in natural labor. At least that was the case with my first baby. Which I’m sure is true since I was low risk I don’t think I got enough support but I’m going to show this to my husband so he can help me out through the process. Thx a bunch
Excited to try some of these out! Due July 6 th with baby #2 and had 2 false starts already! For some reason as soon as we get to the hospital contractions stop completely! 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
I didn't know that I was pregnant for five months until I went to the hospital to see what was going on cause every time I would use a home pregnancy test and they were new pregnancy tests in October and November, December they said invalid so that's when I went to the hospital 🏥 in January on the 26th that's when I found out that I was pregnant in the middle of my second trimester now I'm in my third trimester and close to my due date May 5th is when I'm wanted at the hospital for my C-section the reason why I didn't know is that I don't have any pregnancy symptoms
These tips are great and make sense anatomically. Do you have any tips for delivering twins naturally given the chance one may not be in the "right" position?
Congratulations!!! Hiii everyone, am due Nov17! But this belly🤰🏻 been way scary and rough am Pettit 4”11 wight145 baby is 6lbs and am 36weeks tomorrow idk what to do . I feel so tired and weak. Scared not to have strength when labor comes 🥺😭
Nice tips, this is my second pregnancy. My first labour and delivery was torturous. So I built up anxiety, fearing for the big day for this pregnancy due date. I’ll definitely use your tips!
I wish the hospitals in Corpus were more supportive in helping mother's who do decide to birth with no epidural. Both times they just wanted me stuck in bed. It truly sucked. Plus they always tend to push for induction & c-sections.
Yay! This is an awesome video! Thank you Mandy, I have watched so so many of your videos and it helps me a lot when speaking with my doctors. Thank you Thank you!
Stunning. One question.. when you are trying to rotate baby in semi prone position, dont u wanna lie on your left side? To ensure baby is LOA..? or it doesn't make a difference if you are on your side.. which side doesn't matter..?
Mandy Irby I’m doing wonderful! I tore alittle lol (my impatience got to the best of me🤣) but I’m healing and doing just fine and this was a VBAC so I’m so proud of myself!
If only I could find this many pillows for one patients! I recommend people bring some extra pillows if they want to try out some of these positions. Depending where you go, they may just not have all these pillows available.
My due date is July 10 2019. I am patiently awaiting my little bundle of joy. I have everything I need now I just need my little guy. Last time I labored long due to my water not wanting to break. I'm hoping maybe this might help this time around.
@@the_birth_nurse Baby was born 7/11/2019 at 11:44pm. I arrived at the hospital at 11pm. The nurse asked me for a urine sample and my water broke while in the restroom. My husband was outside the door and heard me being sick and came to check on me. The nurse brought me to the bed for a check and it was go time! He was born shortly after. Not before giving everyone a little scare. Apparently, his shoulder got stuck for a moment or two but the midwife rotated him quickly and he popped out. 9lbs. 2oz.
5 is how i sleep im 35 weeks and 2 days so scared my husband n i first baby and living in a country that isnt that caring towards women in labour.thank you for these tips atleast my husband and i can use these support techniques to help me and baby out
These are really helpful! I'm 5 months along and really anxious. My midwife is pushing epidural with only back and side as options. Trying to prepare by being educated so I can speak up about other options.
I appreciate z mom on ur video for volunteering on showing z positions. And I wish u r my nurse when I give birth even though I have no plans 😂😉may be for z future🔮
I hope so🙏but z funny thing is I didn't even get married but when I think🤔 about pregnancy as a girl OMG it just irritates and scares me a lot but when I saw this video it actually relaxed me 😃and changed my mind thanks a lot that 4 that
Dyani because that’s how most doctors are trained. But by no means is that how you must lay to give birth. Speak to your nurse and ask for support with different positions that make you comfortable. Your comfort is important! If you have a doula, they can also provide support and give you ideas of different positions that may be more comfortable for you!
Because they're lazy. Its easier for the doctor to just have to sit in one place and keep.mom in same position. It's also hard to move around with an iv connected to you and al extra gowns and sheets they have. Also most women in hospital use an epidural which numbs your bottom half making it too difficult to move about and give birth in different positions. Women who give birth with out medication at home or in birthing centers give birth in different positions all the time.
I’m really nervous about pain and I think about adopting or not having any child at all. And I definitely want a child though and I want it to be mine, I just don’t know at all what to do to cope with pain.. is there anything other than this that could help with pain like natural remedies or exercises? -Abby
Giana, it's not as painful as you think. The best natural anaesthetic in labour and delivery is your voice. Moan, roar, sing and let it all out. Read a bit about vocal techniques. It works!
I will try this positions, baby is due in 2days I been stretching to open my hips and some pelvic stretches too I’m doing the reboso position tomorrow with my husband n I always sleep with pillows between my legs 😁👌🏼 hope my delivery is fast toooo 🙏🏼
I got 4 mins into the video and you just made me laugh So Much!! Thank you! This was one of the videos I have been delaying this week in my To watch "later" Birthing vids! I can't put it off much longer because I can prepare better! I am due with my second child Dec 25th at a Birthing center! I was so ignorant and unprepared with my first natural labor/birthing plan! Lol!
This was so informative!!! My dr suggested I use a peanut ball during the labor of my 3rd baby (which I just learned about) because of minor prolapse. I love that there is an option to sit up and let gravity help while you push after having an epidural!!! Thank you!!!
So with an epidural if you push on hand and knee do you stay in that position while they stick you? I want to labor different the next time I have a baby but I fear the stitches after being stitched at my 6wpp check up without being numb.
I love these tips. I'm currently pregnant with baby boy #2 and due mid November. For the positions on your side, which side would you recommend laying on?
I am not a professional lol but after doing some research early in pregnancy baby gets more oxygen when you are laying on your left side. I am currently 36 weeks pregnant and that's the side I sleep on every night. I would think it'd be best to be on your left during this position as well 🤷🏽♀️😊
lol I enjoyed this video.Thank you! The last one looks great!!! Im having a home birth so my only thing would be trying to modify this to make it possible. (pillows...low bed?? )
Hi have a friend who’s her sisters support person at hospital now. They dont have any peanut balls there.🤦🏻♀️ what do you recommend they can use? Ty in advance!
Is there different ones which are best for those who have pgp? I wont be able to have a water birth, so would love which is best to not aggravate this.
Position #6... A good option when the nurse and dr want you to hold your own legs because you're in labor by yourself and there's no one else to do it. For obvious reasons I told them, in not so nice words, that I could not and would not be doing that. Haha. But seriously, I'm loving that position.
It might be a really efficient tool to assist labor, but I REALLY hated that peanut ball! My son was OP and I was kept on it for a long while after everything else had failed to turn him, and it was so incredibly uncomfortable for me! By the end of it all, I just wanted to pop that damn thing and never see it ever again! lol
This is great if you can find a hospital willing to allow it. Both hospitals I delivered at refused to allow me to push and other way than laying on my back. The second one wouldn't even let me get up and walk around the room to try and get the baby to drop. 😒
@@chatgpt4135 Not really when you have Drs delivering and telling you what you can and can't do. Why are you even here trying to argue with me? Move around.
I had contractions in my thighs so badly, I could neither squat, nor lay, nor stand, nor walk or do anything, that would put strain on my legs. I lay in the water, legs elevated which was the only position, I could handle those weird contractions in. Do you have any tips or positions when contractions aren't in the belly area but thighs? I also had great problems and pain with my symphysis during pregnancy, maybe that correlated? I had longed for a natural birth so badly and prepared all I could, but when those contractions hit in a place no one ever told me about, I felt betrayed by my body and totally helpless. Needless to say that baby got pushed against my pelvis and had to be brought by a cesarean. I'd be so glad for some birthing tips for such a situation when contractions hit in thighs and lower back, so next time I'd be able to work with those contractions either way!
@@emmanuelaemejuru7190 Thank you. I'm pregnant again, and my midwife told me, I instinctively did the right positioning, because baby's head was turned into the pelvis wrongly. So buttom up was actually the right thing to do when it look wrong to me (also see "Miles Circuit" for that, it's positionings when baby is turned in wrongly). Also, I was dehydrated from staying in the tub for too long, plus my midwife didn't cheer me on or told me, everything was okay. She didn't even realize I had contractions in my thighs or that contractions came so strongly and so fast, they hit me without pauses and I had no time or breath to deal with them. A good midwife should be aware of that, as I had no breath or strength to tell her. I hope, with a new midwife and being vocal about past experiences, it will be a successful experience this time. I still hope for tips with contractions in thighs, though, as this is rare, yet not uncommon, and it simply might be the way my body works in labour. Not happy about it, but need to be realistic.
@@janego2018 you're right. Sometimes it's just the lack of information or help from the midwife. I hope your labour and delivery go better than your first time around 💚💚

If there are so many different positions to deliver a baby. Then why do hospitals prefer the same one. The one where they lie down flat on their back

Giana, it's not as painful as you think. The best natural anaesthetic in labour and delivery is your voice. Moan, roar, sing and let it all out. Read a bit about vocal techniques. It works!
I loved these position suggestions! As an L&D nurse and clinical instructor for BSN students, I look forward to sharing these positioning tips.
The labor ball did nothing for me however I hope for you expecting ladies out there that it works for you!!!😊
Thank you for the tips🙂🙂
First time mom here!!❤❤
I did the peanut ball! And it worked! I went from 4 to 8......
I will try this positions, baby is due in 2days I been stretching to open my hips and some pelvic stretches too I’m doing the reboso position tomorrow with my husband n I always sleep with pillows between my legs 😁👌🏼 hope my delivery is fast toooo 🙏🏼

I got 4 mins into the video and you just made me laugh So Much!! Thank you! This was one of the videos I have been delaying this week in my To watch "later" Birthing vids! I can't put it off much longer because I can prepare better! I am due with my second child Dec 25th at a Birthing center! I was so ignorant and unprepared with my first natural labor/birthing plan! Lol!
This was so informative!!! My dr suggested I use a peanut ball during the labor of my 3rd baby (which I just learned about) because of minor prolapse. I love that there is an option to sit up and let gravity help while you push after having an epidural!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you ,thank you !!
Great video! Very helpful
You're great & amazing. Thanks. For sharing.
thank. very useful information.
So with an epidural if you push on hand and knee do you stay in that position while they stick you? I want to labor different the next time I have a baby but I fear the stitches after being stitched at my 6wpp check up without being numb.
Go Jessie!!!!!
I love these tips. I'm currently pregnant with baby boy #2 and due mid November. For the positions on your side, which side would you recommend laying on?
I am not a professional lol but after doing some research early in pregnancy baby gets more oxygen when you are laying on your left side. I am currently 36 weeks pregnant and that's the side I sleep on every night. I would think it'd be best to be on your left during this position as well 🤷🏽♀️😊
Thank you for this tips..😍😍
Thank you so much for this video 😊 it’s really helpful 👍🏼👍🏼
lol I enjoyed this video.Thank you! The last one looks great!!! Im having a home birth so my only thing would be trying to modify this to make it possible. (pillows...low bed?? )
Hi have a friend who’s her sisters support person at hospital now. They dont have any peanut balls there.🤦🏻♀️ what do you recommend they can use? Ty in advance!
Thank you so much for sharing!
I’m going into labor in May 11 2020 whould it be safe to go to the hospital during Corina virus what do u think I should do
Hello Mandy...
I'm 7th month pregnant can I do this kind of position or should I do only during delivery time..
Hi Mandy...
Thank u so much for ur advice...
Is there different ones which are best for those who have pgp? I wont be able to have a water birth, so would love which is best to not aggravate this.
Position #6... A good option when the nurse and dr want you to hold your own legs because you're in labor by yourself and there's no one else to do it. For obvious reasons I told them, in not so nice words, that I could not and would not be doing that. Haha. But seriously, I'm loving that position.
Same thing I told the midwife in my lamaze class "No honey, that's not happening"
It might be a really efficient tool to assist labor, but I REALLY hated that peanut ball! My son was OP and I was kept on it for a long while after everything else had failed to turn him, and it was so incredibly uncomfortable for me! By the end of it all, I just wanted to pop that damn thing and never see it ever again! lol
This is great if you can find a hospital willing to allow it. Both hospitals I delivered at refused to allow me to push and other way than laying on my back. The second one wouldn't even let me get up and walk around the room to try and get the baby to drop. 😒
Who is a third person to 'Allow' you to birth?
Like they are in charge of ur body?
U r in charge of ur iwn body
@@chatgpt4135 Not really when you have Drs delivering and telling you what you can and can't do. Why are you even here trying to argue with me? Move around.
Nice I like different types of choices to try .
Loved itt.. super dooper amazimg 💞
Hi I'm.33 weeks pregnant
I want to go through normal delivery plz suggest
Hello mandy ,please Tell me When i can this 7 mouvement doing ?? Thank you
I will try some ur position cuz I am over 39 weeks pregnant now, I’m. Hoping this help me too.. thanks
Great video! Do all hospitals have the beds that drop so you are in a squatting position? I didnt even know hospitals have that! Thanks for sharing
What shall i do to get the baby head down.. He still setting... 37week
Lato, spending as much time on all fours really helped. Either that, or elbows on the sofa, knees on the floor (cushion needed).
I had contractions in my thighs so badly, I could neither squat, nor lay, nor stand, nor walk or do anything, that would put strain on my legs. I lay in the water, legs elevated which was the only position, I could handle those weird contractions in.
Do you have any tips or positions when contractions aren't in the belly area but thighs? I also had great problems and pain with my symphysis during pregnancy, maybe that correlated? I had longed for a natural birth so badly and prepared all I could, but when those contractions hit in a place no one ever told me about, I felt betrayed by my body and totally helpless. Needless to say that baby got pushed against my pelvis and had to be brought by a cesarean. I'd be so glad for some birthing tips for such a situation when contractions hit in thighs and lower back, so next time I'd be able to work with those contractions either way!
I honestly wish she answered you! Your labour and delivery sounds emotional but at least you have a healthy baby with you 😊
@@emmanuelaemejuru7190 Thank you. I'm pregnant again, and my midwife told me, I instinctively did the right positioning, because baby's head was turned into the pelvis wrongly. So buttom up was actually the right thing to do when it look wrong to me (also see "Miles Circuit" for that, it's positionings when baby is turned in wrongly). Also, I was dehydrated from staying in the tub for too long, plus my midwife didn't cheer me on or told me, everything was okay. She didn't even realize I had contractions in my thighs or that contractions came so strongly and so fast, they hit me without pauses and I had no time or breath to deal with them. A good midwife should be aware of that, as I had no breath or strength to tell her. I hope, with a new midwife and being vocal about past experiences, it will be a successful experience this time.
I still hope for tips with contractions in thighs, though, as this is rare, yet not uncommon, and it simply might be the way my body works in labour. Not happy about it, but need to be realistic.
@@janego2018 you're right. Sometimes it's just the lack of information or help from the midwife. I hope your labour and delivery go better than your first time around 💚💚
this is very informative thank you. Just wondering if you can make the videos shorter for more time pressed mama's to be. (ie. straight to the point)
