Stages of Labor Part 1 (EBB Crash Course)

If you're having a baby, it's important to know how birth works! Let's talk about how your baby will pass through your pelvis, how your cervix will open, and about the stages of labor.

For decades, the vast majority of birth research evidence has been locked away in medical journals. Here at Evidence Based Birth®, we believe in putting the evidence back in the hands of the people who need it the most: you and your family!

Really appreciate this since there's no classed right now. Thank you from first time mom

Lol. With my first I was at 5 cm no contractions for about 2 weeks. Then at 37 weeks I went from 5 to skin to skin in 1 hr 15 mins. There were no discernable breaks between contractions once they became noticeable. I hope this labor goes just as quickly

This knowledge is SO helpful for new moms! Birth can be so overwhelming if you don't know what is going on. Thanks for always sharing awesome info, Rebecca!

So awesome how our bodies and baby's know what to do.

I was just looking something like this. Thanks a lot.

Oh, wow! Thank you so much for this video! It's great! Especially since English isn't my first language, and I have to be familiar with all these new anatomical terms

[johnrogan]

The patience and methodical thinking of women...so essential to a successful birth.

[abigailcosay]

Thank you! But I'm so distracted by you looking off to your right like what are you looking at lol

[amygodward]

Thank you so much for taking the time to educate us with this video! Don't worry about overly sensitive commenters getting offended.

I have vaginismus and will not consent to cervical checks. What can be done?

Thanks for the information! Giving birth in February but there aren’t any classes available yet. One thing I may suggest: if you’re checking speaker notes, it may be better if you put them closer to the camera. I kept getting slightly distracted when you would look off to the side. Other than that, thank you for this!

Thanks for the video! Ver informative- I just got a little distracted from time to time seeing your eyes looking towards your right side :)

[sarahhernanadez]

Your the best! Thank you so much for this detailed video!! It’s so helpful and fun to learn and understand the way you have taught it.
