6 days PP, watched so many of your videos to prepare for labor & delivery, I was able to have my daughter naturally with no epidural. I was so amazed and proud of myself! Thank you for all your videos, they are so helpful 😊

[badgerlife]

I watched almost all of your videos during my pregnancy and was able to have my baby girl naturally, no epidural, and no tears as a first-time mom! ❤My contractions lasted for a day but just felt like strong period cramps, so I didn't go to the hospital. Shortly before midnight, they got more intense, so we drove to the hospital, and when we arrived, I was already at 10cm! I only pushed for 30 min. and baby girl was born perfect at 1:15am 🥰 Thanks for all your positive encouragement and tips! 😘

4th child birthed at home 🏡 all natural and I am so tired 🥱
This post partum is very hard on me and this was a hard birth as well.
Been 🤱 nursing and the kids are back to school only 12 days post partum. It’s been a challenge 🙏🏻 grateful for all the tips and I totally love you channel 📺 ❤️ I watched your videos for my last birth 🤰 👦🏼 🧒🏼 👧🏼 so I was more prepared this time. Thanks for all the info we are so grateful 🥲

This takes my back. My baby is 18 months now but because of you I had my first vaginal, natural, home birth. Back labor and all. I recommend to all women wanting a beautiful natural birth.

I want to say a huge thanks to you Bridget, just few days ago i gave birth . after 36 hours. of pain it was natural birth, i followed all d exercise and birth ball and also during contractions breathing exercises was very helpful. Here in Europe during corona situation i cant go for child birth classes, but your videos are really very helpful. want to say huge thanks from d bottom of my heart.

I think the best thing to do, even before pregnancy, is to learn how to eat intuitively with gentle nutrition. Learning how to listen to my body while eating to satisfaction AND health is invaluable. not only does it make pregnancy and postpartum just slightly easier, but it's knowledge I can pass down to my children so they can be health and happy too.

Currently one week pp. The breathing techniques really helped me through my labour. I had an epidural shortly before birthing my baby and continued with my breathing and side lying position. I pushed him out in less than 8 minutes with minimal tearing. Thank you for your advice !

[briannae]

Your videos are so so informative and I really appreciate it as a first time mom (due in Oct.) you deserve more subscribers and I’m sure you’ll get them with these quality videos. Thank you!!

[therosewebbb]

Your videos helped me deliver without pain meds! The breathing was important.

I just had my second child 10 days ago. He was 9lb 8oz so I really need help recovering. Thank you for the information

[stephjose]

3 weeks PP with baby number 2 (had all natural and am so proud of myself), but still 24 lbs over my pre-pregnancy weight. I started walking just a slow 1.5 mile walk this week and trying to stay hydrated for breastfeeding. I do take a beef liver supplement for iron as I have a hard time eating a lot of meat, and trying to eat healthier snacks too. Both kids are 100% vaccine free 💪
