    I was 40+5 weeks pregnant and tried this. I did the whole routine twice a day and the second day I started labor. My baby was 10 pounds and yet I was able to give birth naturally in a home birth without complications. Thanks!!🎉

    I had to come in here and leave this comment!
    I was 38 weeks 5 days, 5cm dialated. Had contractions but wasnt dialating because babys position wasnt optimal. Came accross this video and decided to give it a shot. I was 20 minutes in. Completed 10 min of the first pose and 5 minutes into the exaggerated side lying and my water broke. Labor was a total of 6 hrs. Dont hesitate to try this. It really works.

    I did this with my now 1 year old before bed. When I woke up at 6 am I was in full blow labor and had him by 8am.

    @dlinag 3 месяца назад +4

    Was in labour starting for 8 days already at 2cm dilated.
    Did this at 2am and relaxed as much as i can while doing it, at 6am my contractions started hitting and i was in active labour. Got to the hospital in 10 mins, went from 2cm to 4cm and gave birth at 8:50 that day. Would've been faster had I been moving while in active labour but my body was exhausted from being in labour for 8 days, i barely even had the energy to push. After pushing for 2 hours, she arrived safely and healthy at 38wks + 4.
    thank you for this!

    (Writing this from the Hospital) Found this video, started doing the Miles Circuit at 37 weeks and 5 days, went into labor at exactly 38 weeks, so crazy! This works! I could feel him significantly lower after doing these exercises. I believe baby became engaged in the pelvis after doing this and it started my contractions ❤Tysm!

Baby’s head is already engaged in pelvis but other than that I have no signs of labour yet. Trying to keep a positive mindset while praying for patience and fighting to keep my mind out of crazy town 😂

      @@sumaiyajahanwahid I did the Miles circuit every other day or so from 40 weeks and give birth on 41w 6days, naturally and unmedicated... after a 48 hour labour - OMG after my first child birth I truly understand what woman mean when they say all mamas are Superheros!
      I'm so grateful for hypnobirthing/breathing techniques, affirmations, prayers and vipassana meditation, plus a birthpool at home. Those things MASSIVELY helped me navigate the surges without medical pain relief. I'm also not a Christian, but I did find the power of prayer offered some much needed mental soothing at times of the highest surge intensity and everyday since birth, I thank whoever was listening.
      My current conclusion is: Baby will come, when baby wants to come, but I do think the Miles Circuit helps a lot with positioning, as well as sleeping on your left side with a pillow in between your legs (which I did every night during 3rd trimester). Baby was in "perfect position" for most of 3rd trimester, but was obviously very comfy in the womb! Haha. It's true, every pregnancy, every birth and every baby is so unique. It's not a "one size fits all" thing, it's a "Trust your mama instincts" thing, you know what's best for you, your body and baby. Good luck to all the pregnant mama's out there! Today is day 13 of having a baby boy for me and I am so in love with him and being a Mum

      Hi Ruth 🥰 you are doing great. I’m proud of your for preparing your body for labor. No matter what this is setting you up for an easier labor. When baby is ready, the baby sends a hormone signal to your brain and labor hormones get going. Look into dates of you want to prepare more but I’m the meantime I survived late pregnancy making sure to do my daily pregnancy stretches and a nightly pregnancy pamper routine. Keep me updated girl!

    I'm 37 weeks with my third baby and she's in unstable lie, switching all the time from being head down, to oblique, to transverse. I'm going to start doing these stretches and see if I can encourage her and keep her in a head down position for labour 🤞🏻
    UPDATE: I'm 38 weeks now and I began doing the circuit yesterday. My baby turned back transverse right after these stretches... If your baby is in unstable lie and capable of turning, my advice is to NOT do this....

      on milescircuit.com I read how it suggests preparing body for birth after 37 weeks pregnant and that it shouldn't hurt a baby already in a good position. The goal is to balance the inner pelvic ligaments so that baby gets lower in the pelvis. If that were to happen to me, where baby flipped breech etc., I would redo the circuit or different exercises to flip baby back again. :)
