I swear I get more thorough information from you than I do from my doctor. I've been making my husband watch your videos too :D Thank you!
Right, I forced myself boyfriend to subscribe 😁
Same here
Jessika Lange for real!!!
I feel the same way! My doctor has never given me any kind of information even though this is my 3 baby, sometimes you need to refresh your mind! I’m so happy I came across this channel❤️
I feel the same way. I come to Sarah now for all my questions because my doctor be rushing and talking too fast for me
I remember trying to walk my first baby out (he was exactly ten days late) i walked MILES. FOR HOURS. I literally walked five miles a day for three weeks. You know when he showed up? When I decided to stop walking and rested for a few days lol
same happened with my 2nd baby but first girl I walked miles n miles for hours n once I gave up n sat to b lazy boom in labour that night
Babies are so stubborn ☺
😂😂😂😂 Rude!
@@breanacaferguson9234 yes they are. They will just do what they want to do.
Thats true!Exercises actually often cause babys to be overdue,but the labor is easier
When you said no, I started crying. I’m 38 weeks and I’m so over it. I feel like I can’t do this anymore (I know my body is made for this blah blah blah- but I’m miserable ok? I hate this.)
Maeleigh Moon Same girl, same. I hate this so much. 38 weeks Monday. I’m so pissed....
Soleful I’m so glad I’m not alone!!! Togetherness in hate 🤣
Maeleigh Moon Just finished crying, about to cry some fucking more!! ✌🏿☹️
Same. 38 weeks 3 days. So tiredddddd
Shelbey Gissendanner Well, I see people liking my comment and I’m happy to say my water broke and I had my baby 38 weeks and 3 days! My baby is a month and a half now! Hang in there!
My doctor literally gives me no information. I can ask questions and she will give me a vague answer and then walk out before I can ask anything else. I'm glad you are here and im glad I won't be in the town that I'm in when I have my next child. 🙄
I had a doctor who was the same way and ended up with a terrible delivery that was almost fatal! For my second I spent hours doing my own research and was a totally B to the doctors and nurses second time around when they tried to blow off my questions or concerns 😅
Changed my doctor for this very reason
She's so right I walked so much in my second pregnancy and never went into labor. I was induced at the hospital at 41 weeks. Now I'm going through the same thing.
Please can you tell me about been induced how long was the labor
Nooo😭😭😭😭
I’m so sad that I just found your page I am due in 3days! But thank you for all of this great information I am binge watching all of your videos!
If my body is not ready, why can’t it get in tune with mind? My mind says I’m ready!!!
My mother in law is a former L&D nurse... my S/O is a CFRN who seems to always be flying a L&D patient. I’m a RRT.. plus this is my 4th baby. We joke that we have it all covered for baby time. With that being said I love your personality and approach. I think your videos are so informative. I hope we luck out with a fabulous nurse like you this time around. It makes such a difference.
Thank you so much fellow medical team!! I hope you do too! xoxo
I had contractions for over 2 hrs three nights ago and it ended up being false labor. Haven't had any signs of labor since and it's really hard to not be super disappointed. Was so excited it was the real thing. Thanks for posting this! It made me realize my body was just practicing and how real labor will be different. ♡♡ Hoping baby comes soon!
Dana DeJong the exact same thing happened to me a couple days ago currently 39 weeks 3 days and waiting patiently 😭🤞
Thank you for this… Im 40w 5d and I feel like Ive done everything. On 40w and 1d I was told I was 60% effaced and 2cm dilated. I have stretched, meditated, walked, bounced, sex with orgasms, foods, tea, nipple stimulated, literally everything. Nothing has given me contractions and Im getting so discouraged. It makes me feel better to finally watch someone say there’s no way to get it going if your body just isn’t ready. Im just so tired
Reading everyone's comments makes me feel not alone ❤ I got pregnant back to back so I basically been pregnant for 2 years straight and I'm exhausted. I'm 37 weeks now, a single mom with a 10 month old and ready to just get this over with 😭
Yes girl! I am also a doula and it drives me crazy when people tell my clients to just walk their babies out. 😣
Huh, am 39 wks 3 days and tired. I cant even sleep, i just want baby out
How did it go for you? Hope you and baby is fine
38!weeeks I am so uncomfortable 😩😩
36 weeks but im the same😞
39 weeks and will be 40 in 3 days. Sooo tired of being pregnant and want this baby out
Am here too,began my 40th week. No more energy at all,feeling so tired of this baby in my tummy. I wish this labour would just come now.
I'm 36 weeks and 1 day end everybody's been saying make sure you walk and now to find out walking doesn't even help send you into labor
Love this video I’m sooo tired of these other videos/ pregnant folks who swear by whatever “trick” to put one in labor. The body is in charge!!
Just wanted to add in, you said if you are trying to decide between going home or staying at the hospital, then go home. Be careful giving that advice though because I was advised to go home even though I was in labor because the nurse thought it would be a while. Came back 3 hours later much further along. Then to my surprise, when I got my bill, I was charged TWICE for an "ER visit" because they somehow get away with billing labor and delivery triage as ER. Even with good insurance, that was an extraordinarily expensive bill. I would have rather stayed at the hospital for hours than had to pay that hefty bill twice. Not to mention, a lot of people cant afford that. It'd be nice if patients were warned about that before being told to go home and come back later.
I was sent home with contractions 2 minutes apart 😒 I came back 2 hours later 6cm dilated 🙄
Wow you pay to give birth? If I may ask where do you come from?
@@tianamark1989 US
Damn this video burst my bubble rained on my Parade etc. lol but thanks for the truthful advice I’m 38 weeks and 6 days I’m just gonna wait on my body to be ready not gonna rush my self lol
I’m soo ready to do this! Feel like I’m alone in my pregnancy pains… so I’m ready to start healing! Let’s get this show on the road
I literally love you. I wish you were my midwife 😂 40 weeks today & trying to be as patient as possible ! ♥️
Same thing happen to me 40 weeks today and i watched more than 10 videos just to do anything.
So informative! My due date is tomorrow, I’m so anxious!!! My induction date is scheduled but I want my baby to come before then on her own
Did you end up having to be induced or did baby come out on its own?
Update!
Alexis Johnston I ended up having to be induced. My due date was June 8th, I was induced June 14th & gave birth 25 hours later June 15th at 6:29am
My due date is tomorrow😣I’m anxious as well. My OB told me about this vaginal inducing procedure (forgot the name). It sounds so painful I don’t want to do it😫😫
@@rubymars5493 Ruby did you do the induction? Whats the name? How did it go?
You’re smart. This video clears what’s in my mind. I am now 38 weeks and 2 days, hopefully expecting for Normal Spon Delivery, ! Thank you! And more videos please!
Things you can do to prep and prime your body for labor include;
1. Walking
2. Chiropractic alignment
3. Red Raspberry Leaf Tea
4. Acupuncture
Sex also help with thinning out the cervix... that's wat my gynecologist told me...also nipple stimulation
Absolutely love your videos!! 39 weeks preg and currently bingeing on all your vids. You are so well spoken and engaging. Keep up the amazing work :-)
Your channel and Channel Mum are my 2 favorite RUclips channels to follow through my pregnancy. Thank you so much for all of the info
if i could personally fly that side so u could be my birth attendant, trust mi i wldnt have to think twice. i am a PG at 35 wks lately buhh your videos are too educative and inovative. thnks gal.
You should talk about prodromal labor. I have have contractions almost every day for the last 11 weeks. They occur every 2-3 mins lasting for hours. Have been in preterm labor 3 times now. I also have Braxton Hicks every once in awhile and they feel totally different than the prodromal contractions. It's miserable. Unfortunately needing him to stay in as long as possible and the fact that my comfort isn't a reason for induction means I still have 2 weeks to deal with the pain.
Heather Herman this exact same thing has been happening to me. I’m miserable and exhausted and have gone to the hospital twice, once at 32 weeks where they gave me meds to stop contractions and once at 35 where they just monitored me for a bit then sent me home. I’m trying to decide if I want an elective induction at 39 weeks because I’m so miserable. I’m currently 37 weeks.
@@aWholihan I'm sorry it's happening to you too. It's definitely a struggle. I thankfully had my water break at exactly 37 weeks so my pain is finally over and have an almost 3 week old. Hopefully you can get some relief soon.
Heather Herman I’m so glad to hear everything worked out well for you in the end 💜 it’s been so hard to find anyone else to talk to that’s gone through this but I know that I’ll have my little girl soon and it will all be worth it!
This is hard 40 weeks in pain for the last 2 months and still nothing works hmm I am tired
I'm open to try anything now. 40 weeks +5 today. Thanks for the video!
I’m due in the next 3 weeks & im so nervous/excited I’ve been watching your videos for a while now I even make my husband watch so he can be educated on what’s gonna be going on. I’m so glad I found your channel!
I ate half a Pineapple and hours later I started having contractions. I literally did Just Dance for an hour and a half and nothing but I heard eating Pineapple helps. So I tried and like I said hours later I started having contractions, went to hospital got admitted and had our baby next morning 😊
So maybe coincidence idk LoL but I have read other woman trying and worked for them.
I just burnt my tongue eating pineapples
How many weeks were you?
@@ChamakbyH I was already full term. He was one day late.
I ate a pineapple days ago.. nothing happened but it was a tasty treat lol
@@iqrayusuf28 me too
With my first born, when I was in labor with her (11 years ago) my Mom and I were doing laps around the hospital because my Mom told me it'd help then a nurse in the hallway told us that, "it's been proven that walking does nothing to help labor". My water had broke and I was in labor for 18 hours and was having excruciating back labor and I was trying to do it without an epidural I stayed 3 CM dilated until 15 hours in and I just couldn't take the pain anymore so I got the epidural. I ended up being fully dilated an hour later, but every time the doctor came to ask me if I was ready, I didn't feel the urge to push at all which is why I didn't deliver until 18 hours in.
Anyways, this time around I've been walking and doing excercise videos to try and induce labor and I've definitely noticed baby boy moves farther into the pelvis with some of the workouts (problem is he doesn't like to stay there), but I'm super pissed at that nurse for telling me walking doesn't work because if I had continued to walk there's a chance I could have gone without getting the epidural, she obviously didn't know what she was talking about.
I'm 39 weeks and 3 days ! I am very uncomfortable
Can you please make about Anemia and labor, does Anemia affect labor
Yes plz...do
Anaemia causes a higher risk of post partum hemorrhage (PPH) - so increased risk of bleeding after giving birth. The midwife will be on hand to assist and give you an injection that helps speed up the delivery of the placenta and stop the bleed quicker
Aida Green thank you I did just great my baby is two months old now thank god everything went smoothly
Congratulations :)
I was anemic for all my pregnancies and thankfully everything went great with all of them but yeah a video discussing anemia would be nice 😊
I'm 39 weeks and 4 days and I'm just so tired. For this past month I've been watching your videos at night😄they are so helpful.
Clara Quezada me I’m 40 weeks today
I been eating dates and pineapples. I’m 39 weeks and 2 days today! My doctor said I’m 3 1/2 cm dialated with my cervix 50% effaced. I haven’t had any contractions so I’m headed in the right direction (dialating and effacing). I’m gonna go for a walk and see what happens in the next day or so.
This came at SUCH a perfect time for me! I am beginning 32 weeks pregnant tomorrow and the raspberry leaf tea I ordered, just came in. I was reading conflicting info on it. This is my 4th pregnancy and in my experience, you cannot make anything happen that is not ready to happen. I just needed some encouragement on that ❤️ thank you!
Jessie Says I'm 20+3 today and just started mine I'm on baby #4 too! Congrats!
I am currently 39 weeks and 5 days exactly and I am so bored and exhausted. I even try to walk everyday since my maternity leave start, and trying to do Yoga but no signs of whatever. I am just praying that one of these days I will give birth because I feel so tired now , I even gaind 22kg and my baby weight as of now is 3.5kg(basd on ultrasound)😅
You're the one of the most positive healthcare professional i came across on RUclips. Keep up the good work. :)
Omg I’m walking myself out right now hopefully into labour. 40+5 days and walking puts so much pressure on my cervix. I hope it works hopefully, so damn tired.
Did it work mommy
So did it work!?
I never checked with my provider on raspberry tea. I just researched it and went with it. Now taking it again with dates.It did help with a fast & nearly painless labor with baby one.
At how many weeks did you start the dates and raspberry leaf tea?
@@__TheTruth week 32
@@zen_mindset1 thank you 🙂
Yes, do video about walking in labor. Or any movement and positioning you can or should do in early labor.
thankx
I’ve gotten more info from you than my “so called” doctor... 😒
Right. Like why is that?
my doctor sucks too i hate him!
I love your videos! You're so informative and inviting. I'm 39 weeks pregnant with my second daughter, and I have been in early labor for 4 days now, any advice you can give to hurry things along I'm listening! Can't wait for part 2 😀🤰
I'm also 39 weeks and still not getting any labor pain.. what can I do?
can you make a video on what prep should be done before delivery should I shave before coming in/shower off
I have tried everything! Nothing worked! So I'm getting induced Friday
I think I'm an outlier with RRLT.... I drank one cup right before bed around 36 weeks and cramped all night long... couldn't sleep and had to get up at 4am to go take a bath! After that + water and a snack I was able to get some rest. Now that I'm 38 weeks I'm going to try drinking it again. Even my midwife agreed the RRLT was doing something. This is also my 4th baby.
Im 39weeks and 4 days and dont feel any changes or discomfort plus im not even dilated a little bit so my Dr is going to induce me in 5 days. 😞 I just wish my baby would come naturally instead of forcing him out... I really dont want to end up having a C-section.
We share the same dilemma. Im 39 weeks and 4 days today. My doc is pro induction once im in my 40 week, and I want my labor to be spontaneous and deff not aiming for a C-sec. Let me know how yours went.
walking worked for me with my 2nd child, i walked for about 4 miles and the next day my labor started.
At how many weeks?
Im 36weeks today (ftm 😊) and binge watching your videos. Very helpful!!👍 Thank you!
danaaquileia gurrrrrl me too 36w2d
I ended up being induced at almost 42 weeks last time... I really don't want to be induced again. I am willing to try anything safe to get this baby out before my induction date!
I’m 34 weeks and I’m over it. Thirst trimester is living hell.
Same here
I’m due next Friday and I’m really hoping my baby comes by then I really don’t want to be pregnant or in the hospital for thanksgiving 😭
Girl same! I'm due the 25th and my birthday is on Thanksgiving!
Same ! I'm due then and I dnt wanna be stuck in the hospital on Thanksgiving
Samantha Arroyo same here! Due next Friday as well!
Due nov 18th. Good luck mamas! Let's hope these little ones come before Thanksgiving.
Good luck to everyone 😊 hopefully we get these babies out soon lol I really wanna meet this little one and I’m eager to not be pregnant anymore 🤣
i’m 39 weeks and so far my cervix isn’t open. i just want to see my beautiful baby (and not have to pee every 5 min) i’m hoping the doctor tells me they’ll induce at my next appointment
I’m due in 10 weeks and 3 days and all of your videos have been so helpful
Congrats! Hope everything went well!
Is it true that evening primrose oil and pineapple soften your cervix?
Does anemia affect birth and does the midwives brew work
I am so so ready to get this baby out, lol just a waiting game for me now! Thanks for the information ❤️❤️

Im 37 weeks today and watching your video😁
I LOVE your videos! They make me stop, take a breath, and keep it all in perspective! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
I'm 41 weeks pregnant and can't even sleep, and sit i am so tired and just want my baby out but no signs of labour yet give me some advise please and also pray
Raima Khan I’m in same boat as you..
Booked for induction in 2 weeks so hoping to help get my body at least ready so maybe a sweep will work before that. Sweeps have sent me into labour in both previous pregnancies so fingers crossed! 🙃
31 weeks now..wish i was 39 weeks n giving birth already
The doctor stripping your membranes may cause labor. It worked for me at 38 weeks. I went into labor two days after he did this.
I’m being induced at 39 weeks because of medical reasons and we’re hoping he comes naturally before then (I’m 37 weeks + 5 right now) we’ve been trying everything lol we’ve been going for walks when we can (I’m disabled and this pregnancy has been really rough so I’ve needed a wheelchair most of my pregnancy but I do what I can) we’ve tried everything that’s considered safe and he’s just too comfy in there apparently 😭 I still have some time left so fingers crossed but I’m so tired I’ve been in so much pain I haven’t slept in days and I can hardly even eat
How do you feel about castor oil
Red Raspberry LEAF tea make sure to remember the LEAF part. Thanks for your informative videos!
I have a thought of how to induce labor. I’ll of course let you know if it works.
@1:32 her answer is not really.
I love all your videos Sarah. Thank you for answering the questions that i was personally was looking an answer to it and here you are just bringing up the most awesome videos that every woman should know. Thank you so much, love you a lot❤️
With my 1st baby, my sister came up with the raspberry tea... We went straight to Walmart and .... Did absolutely nothing lol
We do anything we can when we’re desperate 😂
39 weeks and I’m just waiting
Hope you had a healthy delivery. Im37wks will get induce39wksfor overweight
You are very helpfull , i finished my Bachelor as Midwife 2 years ago and i moved to Germany but didnt had the chance to work in profession , and i lost my confidence if iam good enough to do this , i felt like i've forgot everything but watching your videos kinda makes it more easier in my brain that i can do this 😍 ( meanwhile 23 weeks pregnant , cant wait to help myself give birth 😜)
We need more midwifes in Germany I'm sure you can recognize your profession somehow... Here's a link I found... www.anerkennung-in-deutschland.de/en/interest/finder/notice?profession=355
Thank you very much 😇
sarah no wonder ur videos are fantastic there is no doubt howeva i luv ur nails and your selection of nail paints gal i luv u u calm
me down with your videos if i have quest about my pregnancy also u make me laugh with your lil quirky way to gv out the info luv u gal m 36 weeks pregger nd my anxiety is outta control but watchin ur video calms me down thanx gal
When would you recommend to star drinking raspberry leaf tea. I will obviously talk to my midwife, but I'm just curious
Amy Pinnau I'm on baby #4 and Dr just told me to start it at 20 weeks if I wanted I had no clue about it before this one hope this helps❤ but as always talk to your Dr etc before to make sure there's no worry of early onset labor.
Okay, glad I asked cause I wouldn't have asked when to start until.i was about 30 weeks. So I'll make sure to ask her sooner, thanks!
My daughter's midwife recommends this tea.
I'm 25 weeks today, what does it do?
LAVHELESANI MUNGONI It strengthens your uterus so you have a faster labor. It also helps decrease the amount you bleed after having the baby. These comments reminded me I need to go make some more. I’m just so pregnant and tired and lazy! Also, pineapple, evening primrose oil, and sex (sperm) help soften your cervix. Evening primrose oil also thins your blood. That’s not good for you after you give birth because you want every contraction after birth to really count. My doctor said she only recommends evening primrose oil to women who have never had a baby and show no signs of change in their cervix that are desperate to get the baby out and refuse induction. Dates help you dilate. I’ve heard you should start eating 6 a day at 36 weeks. They also help speed up labor and recovery. Look up everything I said just to check yourself. I’m tired of being pregnant so I’ve been researching.
Midwives brew!!!!
10oz of lemon verbena tea
8 oz apricot juice
2tbs castor oil
2tbs almond butter
Drink within 30 mintues! Use ice for a better taste.. lol
U get ur contractions in 1 or 2 hour for your first maybe the next day u will have it!
I second this video 🙋🏾♀️ I remember with my son I was just so ready to get him out I'd walk for like 2 hours a day drink red raspberry leaf tea like crazy drunk castor oil midwives Brew none of it worked and then randomly one day I was doing my hair felt contractions didn't know continued on with my entire day went to sleep and woke up in labor
Thank you for the info Sarah!! I drank a ton of red raspberry leaf tea and contracted for days - I was so exhausted, crampy, sore and it felt like my uterus became over stimulated and super tight. It was very counter productive and wasted my energy.
I have the same cushions as the gold and grey one on your right 🥰
I’m 31 weeks pregnant with my second child , and the oxytocin makes sense with my 1st I was having Braxton Hicks for a while before then one morning I had I sex with my husband and BAM right after those contractions turned into real ones and eventually had our daughter the next morning! Which is why I’m actually a little scared to have a lot of sex this time around 😂
Hi Sarah your nail paint 😄
I love this lady ur lessons are amaizing
I am 40 weeks pregnant and 3 days i just 3cm and 60% face i don't have no sign of the labor. I tried everything and i don't have no doctor appointment.
what do you think about hibiscus tea? My friends in France that have had babies were told not to drink it by their doctors because it could induce labour.
I didn't know that and I drink it all the time (always in my fridge) I had both of my kids at 41 weeks and days 😑😣
The bloopers at the end are hilarious 😂
I have read that eating dates can help the cervix, is that correct?
Cassie H belive it is supposed to help in shortening labor
Where is part 2???
At how many weeks can you start drinking the red raspberry tea ?
I started at 17 weeks
1 cup first trimester
2 second trimester
3 cups third trimester
What about red raspberry leaf tea?
using my breast pump got my tightenings to pick up enough to rupture my membranes ....42 wks...but still waiting for consistency in rushes
39 week & 5 days... tried everything still not go through labor...I am really tired & frustrated... tomorrow I have to admit into hospital...if I didn't go through it naturally Dr. Gonna induce me tomorrow...but want it naturally cos sometime labor induction fail & have to go through c section.... don't know what will happen 😭😭😭
Does walking help when you're in the early stages of labor? Example I'm 3cm 80%. I believe that's considered the early stages of labor.
39 weeks and 2 days with my first baby. I've been walking for miles and doing ton of exercise to induce labor but she hasn't dropped yet and my cervix is still close. I'm so tired of waiting 😪
Same 😢 what I can do 🙄
Please am 2days overdue. Can I try these exercises?
Could you do a video explaining about epidurals and artificial inducte labout? Thanks! Ohh by the way I love love love your videos. All the way from Malaysia...
New subbie. Not pregnant, but we are now in the stage of consideration of it... ☺️
Seriously...thanks, because everyone been telling me to walk. Omg I couldn't for more than half hour, then I relaxed. I'm also active though. 38 weeks and 4 days.....VERY TIRED.
Does red raspberry tea has the same effects as red raspberry leaf tea ?
So happy I found your videos!!
Your videos are really informative 👍 love watching them
Labor is nature, you need not to force it. Am 37wk 3 day.
So usefull information!doctors and people around tell us so many stupid things...thank you
I'm pregnant with my 2nd child and due less then 2 wks. Been binge watching all her videos so informative and helpful. Moreso then my doctors. I even have my husband watch them with me ((:
What is your due date ?
@@VersatileVee_ 12/30 but induced yesterday due to low amniotic fluid around baby. Labor so far so good 👍🏼
