What would I do without this channel. In the middle of COVID with so much uncertainty, I am really grateful to have a childbirth educator to listen to

Watching this as a refresher because I’m doing my after birth preferences. Currently, 39 weeks. ❤️

In Finland (at least in the hospital I gave birth) they didn't use soap for the baby. The first bath was maybe day and a half after the birth. Actually, it is recommended in Finland not to use anything else than water to bath your baby, only some baby oil if baby's skin is dry.

My hospital birth was a beautiful experience. There were lots of complications with the labor (chord wrapped around baby, my contractions were way stronger than normal and I was crushing my babys head with each contraction, and baby wasn't taking well to the epidural.) But in the end baby was 100% healthy and happy, and I didnt have any complications with the surgery.

They treated me like a queen the whole time. I was respected, treated with kindness and compassion, and my husband was well taken care of too!

Edit: I didnt have to wear a mask, neither did hubby. Baby never ever left my side even with the c section. Probably the best hospital I've ever been to and it's in the middle of nowhere in oklahoma, usa

Six months pregnant here in Colorado and I watch all your videos! I not only learn a ton of practical stuff from your content but also just feel like you are part of my birth team with your calming communication and professionalism. Thank you so much for helping me love my birth! Baby girl due in November😊

Watching this while contracting at the hospital! All of your videos have helped me become so much more confident and comfortable with labor!

Bridget, I am currently studying to be a certified birth doula. First of al THANK YOU for your videos!! That are so wonderful for my learning and for me to know what to advise my clients on. This video in particular is So Important!! I love how you were thorough and gentile while also reminding viewers that things are optional! Thank you so much!! Please keep these videos coming! God bless❤️

Hi Bridget, can you do a video on newborn care when first time moms get the baby home?

[palecompass]

Super helpful! Thank you!!!
I'm not sure if you said this, but parents should definitely include what they want after labor in their birth plans.
I had all of this info in my head, but forgot what/why I wanted certain things. In the moment, I ended up agreeing to things that I now know weren't needed at the time, like the eye cream which got all over the place. I really wish I hadn't agreed to that.

[angeler]

Wow thank you so much!! I'm so glad to finally find someone on youtube that's really giving me a lot of information I'm lookimg for! :)

[ShimmerGlitterGirl]

You are so knowledgeable! I am loving all your videos!

[naomicampbell]

This is so helpful!! I feel like I was so clueless on what actually happens AFTER the birth so I appreciate this!!!

[bustkateers]

The reason hospitals take baby’s weight and height at birth is to keep track of possible health issues. Baby loses some weight after birth. It’s to make sure they aren’t gaining or loosing too much weight during the hospital stayz

[bethanytatro]

I found this very helpful! Thank you! I appreciate how non biased you were.

[molokaimountainrabbits]

I'm at 40 weeks and can't wait to give birth! Love your videos, they have been so helpful and make me feel more confident going into this for my first time :)

[onuohacharles]

Thank u so much, my wife gave birth on the 11th of nov, and they did all these, , super helpful

[shelbebooth]

Hi Bridget! I am going to give birth with a midwife at her clinic, could you make a video about how they typically handle after birth care? Please let me know of any differences you have witnessed as a doula! Thank you so much!

[kristatony]

@bridgetteyler what are your thoughts on delayed cord clamping and "wait until white"?

[justcicihere]

Most post-birth videos are ALWAYS talking about what happens to you baby once he/she is born. I wish there are videos and information too that tells women what they should expect to happen to them literally RIGHT AFTER they give birth. We all know the baby will be cleaned up after birth, but what about the moms?
