Childbirth Without Pain

[hartrose33]

I had a midwife as my birth couch and I squatted with very labor pain.That helped so much. The best thing I did.Then with you said go within.That is the only way I can describe how I felt. In between contraction I went inward and was able to quiet down,then with each pain I would feet it and breath and count down the pain, without pain meds. When when I started to push it was a great relief, like the squatting was, I was able to do something and really feel the baby.14 yr later I am a doula.

@hartrose33 There is no such thing as "very labor pain".  Very is an adverb, Shakespeare.

[hartrose33]

@Mirani2 Before you message me about my grammar you might want to know who I am. I have a masters & I am doula. I did all that being dyslexic.You don't know how hard it is for me to get on here & help all the woman I do.Clearly you are perfect and have nothing to over come in your life. I wish you love , piece, joy and happiness in your life, because if my dyslexic post got you that upset that you had to the time out of your day and message about it, then you have more problems then you think.

[Mirani2]

@hartrose33 so sorry, i didn't know. i have had to deal with a lot of bad grammar in the past that is done out of ignorance rather than true accident

[hartrose33]

@hartrose33 I meant with "every" labor pain. Not very . I forgot the e. Sorry about that.

[cookie7639]

so to have non pain you have to control your feelings and think that it's just nothing. just push and relax

[TypicalManderz]

*didnt feel anything really*

[TypicalManderz]

Part 2. and the nurse checked her and she was ready for delievey, my mom said that i felt like a good shit. and she didnt anything really other then the earge to puch , with me, my younger sister she had a little bit but she was induced.

[Mirani2]

@TypicalManderz It's a shame many women interpret the urge to push (like taking a crap) as "pain", and it's a real shame. Because birth is natural and shold not be painful! Pain is your body's way of telling you something's wrong, not right!

[TypicalManderz]

@Mirani2 lol my mom didnt think it hurt at all xD .... I just had my daughter, shes a month now :) .... the birth was not painful at all ... the back labor though did hurt... i didn't even know i was in labor I thought it was a side effect of the flu,... I thought the early labor ones hurt.. .... and I wasnt afraid at all, cause i was quite sure i wasnt going to have labor period cause my mom didnt.

[TypicalManderz]

Part 1! My mom was so afraid of the pain and what it was going to feel like .... but she had no pain her water broke she went to the hospital she went to sleep she woke up, felt a sharp pain as she was walking to the washroom all she said was "hmm what was that" then when she came back she had another one

[Mirani2]

There is no reason for there to be pain in birth even in the first place- pain is a sign something's WRONG, not RIGHT.

There is no evolutionary reason for pain to happen in birth. Perhaps the way women have dressed and the coercive medicine and chemicals they've used over the years (and society's ignorance and hatred of sexuality) caused the pain.

[997loverbrnin89]

lol at kc but pain is there to remind the children of what you been through to get them here

[corysgirl06]

Thank you for posting. I am four months along and am curious about how to control the pain. My objective is to not take medication but if I need it, then I might.

[emmapls]

@corysgirl06 I'm sure it's about trusting your body & being centred there with what's going on. Then you realise it's not pain, but your body & the baby working in harmony... I hope it goes well.

[plasmate]

sound is fuzzy, maybe get a different mic?

glad to see you have your channel!

[KCMotlongs]

Thanks for the extra bit about position&stretching...great advice! My 1st two births were 1 1/2-2 hours total, body pushed for me, went w/the "pain" using water,breathing, low tones, second was born in car outside ER on my side...expecting third in day or two...

[Mirani2]

@KCMotlongs so i guess it's 8 months old by now?

[SaraSidleXShego]

how not to experience pain during childbirth:

Step 1: Don't get pregnant

[Mirani2]

@SaraSidleXShego What about when Columbus wrote of the natives giving birth with no pain? Do they not count?

[sandrocduarte]

I thought very useful your comments. and I d like to say, you re very beautiful and charming too .. your husband is a privileged´ guy, Best wishes for all family ..

[emmapls]

@sandrocduarte Hey, thank you!

[Lavenderrose73]

Shoot, if I ever get married and have a baby I hope I find a coach with the same mindset as you because my family sure as heck won't! (I can just see it, "You're high risk... nya nya nya nya!" x P And I certainly hope whomever I marry will be supportive of whatever kind of birth I want to have.

[wataki2]

what a cool broad u are.....much love in your life:)

[emmapls]

Thank you wonderful women for your positive comments :)

[MynameisJoyee]

Beautiful Advice thank you :0)

[JayJayHale]

I agree with you...I'm having my third and my first two were not painful...uncomfortable yes but not painful. I try and explain this to other expectant mothers but most of them just scoff. Mothers need to be more aware of what their bodies are capable of.

[MrKyleuriel]

how pretty u are :) ur so cute :)

[chasiu75]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I hope more women will choose natural child birth.

[ilovebannu]

your really pretty :)

[katie100ster]

Im soo scared to give birth..

[emmapls]

The unknown is scary, so that's understandable. When you get fearful, force all those scary thoughts & feelings to transform by feeling the baby in your womb. Feel your body carrying the baby, etc. The more you practice this, the more in control you'll feel when you give birth. It's a kind of meditation. Then enjoy the beauty of what your body is able to do. Stay within your body. Stretching the abdomen & breathing into the feelings help. How exciting. Have a wonderful birth.

[fitnessmaster]

Toesn't matter!

Tell me ONE thing: WHY are you so beautiful?????? Are you slavic?

[KaelaCarver]

@katie100ster - Dude, did you hear what she said? Fear is the number one reason giving birth is painful, stalled, stressful, etc. Do a ton of research before you give birth, and do a lot of work on your attitude about it, and your chances are MUCH better of having a joyful, painless birth. Just because it's intense, doesn't mean "painful"

[robynhriley]

@katie100ster BOOOOOOOO

[Mirani2]

@katie100ster I'm not!

[StarShadow666]

Nice video but i really wish it was easier to find ne about epidurals than natural childbirth. I am never going natural and i'm trying very hard to look for a video of a woman giving birth with an epi and i just can't find one.

[emmapls]

Epis take away your control as you can't feel at all (so you shouldn't have pain, tho not always) so can be slower, & more bruising as u often push when not fully open as u have to rely on midwife, not yourself. A partial 1 is better as u can still move your lower body. I met 1 woman who was paralised after, but this is rare. Pls go for no intervention as i suggest. Feel your body. It really is wonderful. But if you're sure, I understand. Good to trust ur instincts. Practice meditation to know.

[Lavenderrose73]

@emmapls Is it true that a water birth makes it easier still?

[emmapls]

@Lavenderrose73 I never had a water birth, though I booked in to have one: they didn't fill the tub in time for the first; & they didn't believe I was really giving birth for the second, even though I tried to persuade them to look to see how dilated I was ('my' midwife arrived 45 mins after I'd given birth!). It's supposed to be less of a shock for the baby, & it helps the mother due to weightlessness. In the end, you just want to concentrate on getting your baby out with ease.

[Lavenderrose73]

@emmapls (shakes head at caretakers)

[frankiethekid]

Thank you! how very kind of you to support other women in taking back their births! I wish more of us could give each other loving, good advise instead of saying things like," Its gonna hurt like hell! You're gonna want that epi!" My baby is due 12/6/08. Here we go! Peace and love!

[emmapls]

Thank you for your comment. Good luck with your birth. I hope you enjoy it. Remember to feel your body fully & stretch your abdomen. Let me know how it went (if you get a chance with all that new-ness!)

[lokiandmunchie]

I am a week away from my due date and I am SOOO glad I came across your comments. :)Thanks you!

[emmapls]

I hope your birth went well. Do let me know if my comments worked in practice.

[taramac3]

Wonderful video! I wish more people knew that they could have a painless birth if they trusted and listened to their body!

[emmapls]

Thanks very much for your comment, its good to know what people think. Yeah, listening to the body helps in everything.
