That's so cool! I've been loving your birthing tips. You are really great at your job, I've never had a labor and delivery nurse like you, you should consider making all your videos into a course that you sell on a website, because I really think all labor and delivery nurses should know this stuff- and birthing moms also. I wish I had known this stuff with baby #1. I kind of gave up on hospital births, but you renew my hope that things could change in the future. Keep doing what you're doing. Bless you and your family.

I did a lot of walking with both of my pregnancies. Had both of them smooth and naturally all the way with no epidural or other meds. That is also how I sleep. I am due this June 2019 and hoping baby comes in at 38 or 39 weeks like my girls did. This time it's a boy, so definitely praying for another natural delivery. God bless you all pregnant women and congratz to all having babies this year 2019!!

I was due 3 days ago! Currently in early labor! Contractions have been 20 mins apart and are gradually getting closer!!! Big ups to all of the moms that went through this beautiful process!! <3

"Who doesn't want a faster, easier labor" *raises hand* lol

[anushasree]

I want natural pain and prayed god to bear that pain..give me strength..

[kandiceh]

Thank you for these tips Mandy! I don’t have a labor support person so these positions will be really helpful. Going to try some of these tonight, I’m 39 weeks. 😬 here’s hoping! 🤞

[charlettahappy]

Hope nurses are cool with this, my 1st experience was a not such an empowering experience. But I know now to speak up.

[Cheibarra]

Awesome tips, thank you for sharing. Im 31 weeks preggy 👐 yay not long from now. Congrats to all mum to be and mum already 😊❣

[yourfavnurseb]

Ur awesome. Seems labor and delivery nurses don’t have a lot of time to allocate to helping ladies in natural labor. At least that was the case with my first baby. Which I’m sure is true since I was low risk I don’t think I got enough support but I’m going to show this to my husband so he can help me out through the process. Thx a bunch

[ammonite]

You have such a soothing voice, perfect for your profession. I would love to have you as my nurse in a stressful time like labor!!!

[oksanayuriivna]

That is sooo true, I got a peanut ball and this thing worked amazingly after my epidural, it helped to speed up the process. My midwife was a blessing)

[niranjanamanu]

God bless u... Normal delivery is being destroyed by some business minded people by performing c section. Thank u for the awesome video

[judyward]

Where were you forty years ago when I needed your great advice and help. Things were so different then and you just did as you were told, no options. Everyone laboured and delivered the same, flat on your back.

[jocelyntoews]

Pretty sure I went to school with Jessie! Thanks for the tips and tricks! I’m 27.5 weeks along and researching everything! This helped!

[kelseym.]

Yay! So happy for Jessie! I’m due in two days and bouncing on my ball as we speak

[kanwalyasir]

I love love love you....I am 37 weeks now🙈❤❤u encouraged me so much

[nikikelly]

My labor and delivery nurse had me use the peanut to help my daughter get into position. Literally had her within 15 minutes of using it. She was my second child. Much quicker final stage. Hoping my third will be just as quick as my other two.

[jessicaawesome-sauce]

Excited to try some of these out! Due July 6 th with baby #2 and had 2 false starts already! For some reason as soon as we get to the hospital contractions stop completely! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

[tabbypanda]

I'm 29 weeks pregnant with my 2nd (18 yrs later) and I'm due Nov. 13th, your video is very informative!!! Thank you so much❗❗❗❗😌

[triplethreatsteph]

These tips are great and make sense anatomically. Do you have any tips for delivering twins naturally given the chance one may not be in the "right" position?
