No matter what you do, baby decides the way it wants to come into this world. I had an awesome pregnancy. I was super active, diligently followed all exercises every single day until 40 weeks. Also walked everyday for 30-50 minutes., I didn't lay on my back or reclined on the couch for 9 months to make sure baby's position was right.

My baby's position was right 5 days before birth but 2days prior, she decided to turn and go posterior and didn't want to turn back. So my labour was extremely painful and traumatic. Had an episiotomy and forceps birth.

Having said that, because I was so active and did all the recommended exercises, I believe it helped me recover sooner than I thought.

So to be mommies, don't expect a painfree delivery, it would be awesome if you end up having one but just don't be soo hopeful and then be disappointed. Continue with all exercises but also prepare for everything. I was so damn sure that my delivery would be easy after following all the exercises and an easy as pregnancy that I was super disappointed after birth thinking all the workout i did were an absolute waste.

Thank you so much for this video! I was starting to realize these things and you just confirmed it and helped me so much!!❤

Traditionally in Indian toilets we had no option but to sit in that squat position for all our business. I have never known of C Sections in my grandparents generations or among my aunts (I have 9 direct aunts and about 50 aunts who are my mom's cousins or their wives and everyone had normal delivery for all their kids), older cousins, neighbors or other women around me. They had to sit in that position few times a day. But western toilets have rapidly replaced Indian style toilets in the past 10 years in all houses and I see some of my younger cousins wives having C Sections these days. I know lifestyle changes have contributed too but I strongly believe one of the strong reasons are these toilet positions.

Thank you for making this video. Baby hasn't let me sit leaning back on the couch since about 6 weeks and everyone keeps telling me I'm just being picky and doesn't want to spend time with them on couch. I keep telling them it's physically uncomfortable and the baby keeps kicking me now that he's bigger. Now I have an actual video to show people. My baby has been right all along, just have good posture and he won't kick me in the ribs. 😂

This happened to me, having my 3rd baby. And i also knew about this info but i still sat on the couch in not the ideal position because i was so comfortable 😩, and yes my son was hard to come out, he was in posterior position, trying to turn the correct way each time i was contracting. It was the most painful labour from my other 2 births and i chose to labour with no pain relief like my other two births as well. But he came out with no problems, he was healthy and happy 😁👍.

I must say I agree with the tailbone portion of the video. My first child I sat on my tailbone a lot and even post-baby five years later I have coccydynia and I have to get steroid injections once a year. I'm currently 12 weeks along with twins and I'm trying to sit slightly more forward as she demonstrated

[nicolemartin]

Thank you! This was revolutionary for me. I mean, I haven't tried it yet (haha) but it makes so much sense. I've had THREE babies sunny side up or in a poor position. Today I start helping baby 4 that's due in January!

[sarafukuda]

Love this! My homebirth midwife did home visits for our prenatal appts, and she told me this info when I was pregnant with my 2nd! Struggled with a LONG 1st labor and bad baby position, so with my 2nd and 3rd I was careful to be more mindful about sitting on my couch especially and my deliveries went much better 🤍

[alert]

I gave birth 3days ago, it was my first baby your videos and practice, as well as the advice and guidance of my midwife helped me a lot, to control my breath and deliver fast and as easy as possible... didn't even get an epidural... Keep up the good work! I look forward to practice the postpartum series! Best wishes

7 weeks pregnant first time parent thanks for letting me know

[vinubriju]

Do u have dedicated video sprcifically for 1st, 2nd & 3rd trimester? Please share the link

[sophiahayward]

Hi, thank you for the tips! At how many weeks should these be followed? 😊

[kariw.]

I wish I had seen this two years ago. My last guy was a c-section and I can tell you I was so sick all I could do was sit around. My recovery from the surgery has been awful.

[stephaniehopper]

I wish I would've known this when I was pregnant, he came sunny side up and I had to be cut 😭😭😭 but I still did it natural thanks to your videos. I think you're so wonderful and I recommend you to everyone.

[elinedemunck]

I was wondering how about sitting the way you are at the end of the video ( we called it the tailor position in my language). This is usually my most comfortable position, but wondering if it's bad just like crossed legged. Thanks :)

[ChrysLeo]

Thank for you for the information! I sit a desk all day and ending my first trimester. These tips help me prepare and hold strength so at the end of the road my body is ready. You are creating a positive birthing culture which is so critical in times where there are so many trauma stories on one of the most natural and beautiful experiences a woman can have. I really appreciate it :)

[KatMTeach]

When I was pregnant I was trying to constantly sit this way, often on the ball. I eventually got really stressed about it and I remember one morning I woke up, I was 4 days past my due date and I just let myself relax on the couch and I almost cried of relief! My baby ended up being breech and the doctor didn’t catch it until after 10 hours of active labor! I hope the next time around this works for me but that I can give myself permission to relax too 😅

[steph]

what about sitting crossed legged or with your legs straight across on a stool? Thanks for these tips!

[djalovic_adventures]

Thank you for all your videos Jess! ❤ When do you suggest to start? I'm a FTM and currently 28 weeks
