How to Breathe during Labor | Pregnancy

So how do you breathe when you're in labor? Or breathing tips for birth. Truthfully this, hee, hee, hee, hoo, hoo, hoo, isn't really taught anymore. Lamaze has changed its whole approach and now teaches evidence based practices for how to have a positive birth experience. So, when trying to think about tips for understanding how to breathe during labor just remember to take nice, slow, deep breaths. Breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth will bring a lot of oxygen to your baby. Remember that birth is a natural, normal, physiological process and your body and you know exactly how to breathe for this process. So just remember to take nice, slow, deep breaths when you're in labor, and you'll be just fine.

When the time comes you actually literally forget how to even breath normally

This so worked for me. My child was 10lb 3oz and I had no drugs, he was a natural birth. I love this technique.

Thank you for making this video short! I’m in labor lol! Don’t got time for all those 8 minute long videos!!

This is how I was taught to breathe during labor but you have to remind yourself (even better have your partner remind you) to breathe SLOWLY.
I didnt take any classes or look anything up while in preparation for labor and I didn't have anything for pain either (not my choice, I gave birth too fast).

I was hoping that Lamaze breathing wasn’t the key. I’m 38 weeks and am preparing for the bid day anytime soon!

Thank you for being straight up and simple! 6 weeks to go

Yeah that slow breathing didnt do a thing for me... I had 4 babies without meds... fast he he blows while counting in my head... now that helped with the intense pain

Hi, what if i have difficulty inhaling through my nose? Can i use ibhalin and outhaling through the mouth?

[nikkib]

I was traumatized by my last birth, I'm barely 9 wks and I'm dreading that day I feel contractions again.

[Rubyify]

Really helpful! I will remember this when my time comes :)

[donnaclave]

u cant remember all this when ur in the situation all u feel is pain.

[MalikMalik-cjex]

It is easy to talk !deep breath !!! is so difficult in that stage..

[mellowboogie]

Honestly, slow breathing didn't help me at all. I think women should find one that works for them and is rhythmic and consistent

[misswoode]

U make it sound like it's easy.... I'm I'm labour right now and I can't even breathe. There is nothing like slow nice breath. I'm sorry if I sound rude. But that's how I feel

They finally did a video on how to breathe.

In my opinion you have taught women nothing. Your condescending remarks about the old Lamaze breathing are insulting. The old Lamaze process was a very good one and it worked. It was nothing like what you just demonstrated. I had 3 children using the Lamaze method and had normal vaginal births with no meds all lasting about 6 hours . I had 4 children but for my first child I hadn’t taken the classes and the nurses were amazing and taught me the breathing. I was in labor for 7 1/2 hrs with my first 8 lb baby
I can’t imagine counting during your contractions. We were taught very slow hee-hee breathing while doing effleurage with your finger tips on your belly. You slowly move your fingers around on each side of your stomach lightly with your fingertips as you breathe slowly. You let your uterus contract and relax as you are doing this. It helps you focus on your breathing, the short hee -hee keeps the diaphragm from putting pressure on your stomach and the method is very relaxing and your baby is getting plenty of oxygen. You feel your fingers going around your stomach which helps relax you. Counting would make me anxious, like when will this be over.
As labor gets more intense you learn to do the hee-hees a bit faster which helps with the stronger contractions. We were taught every stage of labor we were in. When my knees started shaking we were taught that it was a sign we were in transition. I told the dr. “I think I am in transition and he examined me and said I was right”
Trust me, take a good class in your third trimester that really teaches you about what is happening to you during labor, and the more you know the more prepared you will be to make it a good experience.
Telling someone to just deep breathe is not enough in my opinion. 😊

Lmao! What kind of tips is this? You already know what to do. End video. 🤣 this better be true!
