[FaustinadeJesus]

I delivered my baby boy today. And although it was definitely rough, no epidural. I was already 9cm dilated when I got to the hospital. I kept remembering “I can do this” “my body was designed to do this” while breathing and pushing. You helped me a lot! Thank you!

Personally I preferred giving birth while on my back. I couldn’t move into a different position because I was in too much pain lol. 2 big tips from a veteran momma (4 births, 3 med free) is DO NOT scream during contractions. Moan and groan. Drop your jaw and vocalize. When you start screaming you tense up. Which leads to my next tip is to keep your body relaxed. If your jaw and hands are clenched then your body is tense and you can’t move baby down. Luckily the pushing stage only lasted a few minutes for me.

I used your j-breath technique during my labour, and it proved to be very effective!! I was so proud of myself. That was two months ago and now i have a healthy beautiful baby girl 😊❤️

Here again after 2 1/2 years, preparing for my imminent labor. Standing at 39weeks now. To all new expecting mommies, believe me this is the right place for you and again thank you dear Bridget for sharing and teaching us the right technique. It really helps me with my firstborn. My baby was out within the third push🤍

[AskTheAccountant]

My baby has just been born a few hours ago. I breathed my way through even the most painful contractions. I used this method for all of my braxton hicks contractions too, while staying positive. I am here to say thank you. This video helped me. Worked like magic.

[prttybby]

38 weeks 5 days! I’m so happy I found your channel, I feel a lot better about giving birth now. This is my first baby, I’m so excited!

[zaudur]

I had the most wonderful natural birth experience a week ago where I used your breathing technique to relax and it helped me all the way to the pushing! The midwives were amazed over how quickly I dialated and how relaxed I was! It only took about 7 hours from the first mild contraction until I had my baby in my arms. Thank you so much!

[emelinegarcia]

I’m due in 10 weeks, 1st time mom, IM SO SCARED 😭😭 wish me luck you guys

[marianaricalde]

I'm pregnant with my first baby, I'm far from my family and the covid situation is not allowing me to find physical classes for childbirth. But your videos help me so much to feel more confident. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! you have no idea how much you're helping many of us. 💕💕

[bitsofbritt]

Not pregnant - just having trouble pushing on the toilet and this really helped me not to strain

[papa.and.mimis.country.life.]

Old doula here (about 25 years). Thank you for addressing “moo” breathing. It’s a great tool I don’t often hear of being used unless a mama has a doula! The other wonderful effect is the “internal effleurage “ of the vibration in the chest and throat of the mooing. Nice video!

[slowlivingwithBlu]

I literally with my 3rd baby during active labour😅😅😅 . Due with my 4th here to remind myself again how to do it.

[asawade]

I did this with baby seven and it worked amazingly. I don’t “moo” but I felt the Lord help teach me to push down the energy of deep breathing into the uterus and out! It helped move that baby indeed!

[teea]

With your help I just deliverd my baby girl naturally! Thank you!! I'm so happy I found you. Lots of love from Finland 💖

[annikhoopdance]

Thank you Bridget for all your help! I gave birth to my first born in February, at home & unmedicated. I had a wonderful midwife with me and of course my husband. He was born within 4 hours of the arrival of my midwife. The way she massaged my back and compressed my hips helped the most with pain, also the birth pool and staying mentally in control that I can do it.. To all the pregnant woman who are fearful towards your labour: You can do it! We are build to birth!

[Liz-vhmw]

I just wanted to take a minute to thank u for all your videos. Specifically this one. I just had my baby. Ended up having it at home alone in my hot tub because my husband was on the way back from work and didn't arrived until the baby was already here. 6 hrs of labor and all that time i never felt i needed any medication or anything. I actually didn't realized i was in labor until like 30 mins before baby was born. I thought were braxton contracting. I used your breathing technique the whole time. Thank u. U are wonderful. 6 hrs labor, 13 mins pushing. I'm officially a vbac momma now and I successfully achived an unassisted, natural home birth.

[mishamellow]

I remember watching this to prepare for my delivery. I was so nervous since this was my first baby. It was pretty crazy but it was a long near 16 hours of labor. The contractions at first felt like mild gas but when my body was finally in go mode? My baby boy came into this world finally in 3 hours. The day was a blur. I vomited a few times passed out a few times but I did it all naturally and as a result I came out of it healthy my baby boy came out healthy and I had a very minor tear that didn't even need stitches. My recovery time was quick I was up and wanting to move the next morning my midwife scolded me since I even felt good enough to do laundry lol overall it was an experience and to be honest I would do it again. That baby truly is the payoff ladies.
