hey it's Pauline and since I'm pregnant and I have baby on the brain I thought
it'd be fun for all of you who might be interested out there to know what it
feels like to give birth naturally. So I have given birth naturally six times so
six out of six and going on number seven right now and I know that was always my
concern now when I was with my first baby it just felt like everyone had
their horror story to tell like do you have that help you want to go natural
you're interested in not using medication drugs epidurals whether
you're in the hospital setting or you're at home and everyone wants to tell you how
it felt like they are being stabbed in the eye or one woman told me that or how
everyone wants to tell you how they tried and then they just gave in and got
the epidural and blah blah blah okay so first off I want to say those people one
didn't know what they're doing there's a lot of people who give birth naturally
and there's a way to work with your body a way to have practitioners who know how
to work with your body and then there's peat like there's like going in blind
yeah your body is gonna give birth to the baby whether you do it right or not
like your body knows what to do but there's a way to work with your body to
reduce and you know and pretty much almost eliminate the pain really to work
with your body so I recommend the Bradley classes they're twelve weeks
long Lamaze is essentially worthless you're
gonna be in a hospital setting with pretty much everyone there who wants to
get drugs and the they'll teach you how to do the candle blowing no one does
that no one breathes like that - that's so weird
okay Bradley is the class you want to take Bradleybirth.com
I don't know what it is the website I'll put it in the comments below but that's
where you want to go to learn how to give birth naturally and eliminate or
reduce get rid of your pain to make this an awesome childbirth experience and
also the really your practitioner is important. Bradley is designed to teach
you how to go natural in a hospital setting which is so cool because I kind
of think that's like the worst case scenario unless you have a really
awesome nurse midwife or you're in a really natural birthing friendly
Hospital this is more information you want to know probably but if you are
considering naturally in hospital I would definitely
research their c-section rates so like when I was in Orange County we lived
there at the time Newport hospital and Irvine Hospital - the wealthiest
hospitals had the highest c-section rates they just don't see a lot of
natural births so I'm not really sure what to do with him
so I'm birthing at right on the beach it was amazing I looked at the
ocean for baby number two and we had a certified nurse midwife at the well they
got rid of it you couldn't go to it now anyway the hospital closed but it was
awesome. So what does it feel like to give birth. It feels so basically it feels like a like
a sweater like a turtleneck sweater and it's it's gradually like waves are like
pulling the sweater down over the baby's head is kind of what it feels like so
like pull and then you're gonna break and it feels like this expanding
crescendo this is not a pitocin pitocin I hear is ridiculous and horrible for
contractions but just it's like a gradual wave your stomach it's like your
stomach is tightening it's like it tightens and is moving down like it's
pulling the the turtleneck sweater or the baby's head it tightens and it's
pulling it down so you'll feel a tightening in your stomach now here's
where people don't know what they're doing and I didn't know my first baby
either the only reason I didn't get an epidural is because my husband was like
you can do this you are gonna be strong you're almost done when you feel like
you this is a huge when you feel like you need an epidural
you're almost there you've got like 30 minutes left you're so close maybe an
hour like you've already been laboring for 24 hours
you've got one hour left when you feel like you're all me you can't handle any
more yourself so so close just know that okay and when you feel like that that's
the time is to lay down and stop walking you're gonna learn all this than Bradley
courses but that's what really helped me I learned that Psalm 23 is about the
length of a contraction so I memorized Psalm 23 so for me the Lord is my
shepherd I shall not want he leads me beside quiet pastures you know I'm just
like saying it to myself I'm totally relaxed usually laying in a tub I love
to birth in a tub it it takes away the pain for me like 75 to 85 95 percent
maybe I have births in every different way I've birth sitting up push the baby
on what they call birthing stool it looks like a u-shaped toilet lid it's
just empty on the bottom it's just it's a stool that is a u-shape and your butt
goes onto you and the baby comes out and they can and the Midwife or your husband
can catch the baby I've done it twice in the tub twice on a birthing stool and
twice on a bed in hospitals. The first baby was born in Irvine regional flat on my
back and they didn't know what to do with me
my very lovely OB who was super supportive of my birth plan was off that
day I didn't even know there was such a thing so there's your first baby just
know like there's seven days in a week and there's a one in seven chance your
OB could be off so who was the backup well I got mister like 1970s been around
forever episiotomy is what I do backup guy and so he was like Oh the baby didn't
come right out let's cut you like they didn't even like they didn't even think
like let's move her up or have her sit up a little or anything like the nurse
got me it's are jumping on my stomach so look I'm telling you a horse tour this
is terrible sorry this is just to prepare you that
you can have a wonderful birth and you just need to know who's supporting you
what's your husband feel how does your husband feel what are the nurses gonna
be like there what are the is the hospital seen mini natural births who's
your backup if your lady is off what's the backup like because you can
go visit this wonderful person for nine months and then on showtime day you get
the backup person what is the backup person if you interviewed scrupulously
interviewed your your OB or your midwife and then you get some backup you've
never even met that's what happened to me so check into your backups and also
be prepared the first birth I just read the Bradley books that helped a little
it was not the same as attending the Bradley courses I felt I just got so
much more out of actually practicing how to relaxed having my husband there
knowing what to do me my husband were on the same page he was at first birth he
was like reading the Bradley bursts while I'm in labor the books while I'm
in labor like he he you know it's like he had so much to do in his life like
he's working he didn't he make time for that but when you have 12 weeks and
you're going there as a couple together we put the first baby baby number one we
put her in we had a friend that would watch her we they would
between different friends so we could do these 12 weeks classes and he came he's
on board he knows what's happening he's there with you and we were able it was
it was so much so much better like such a night-and-day delivery pushing is a
different experience so you have your normal contractions I told you that were
like a wave and they get stronger they only are painful when you don't let them
do what they need to do so if you're walking around and the contractions are
quite strong like your muscles are flexing in different directions and so
your muscle the uterus is wanting to do I told you wants to tighten and pull so
if you're like up walking or you're really tense or you start to like rise
when that contraction comes like you're not relaxed this is where the pain
happens is your body is going to be pulling in a different direction okay so
then it's time to push so you had been letting your body do its thing you were
relaxing and all that good stuff and then it was time to push me what does it
feel like to push it's just kind of an overwhelming feeling like you know that
something is different like the contractions are very very very on top
of each other like there's not much of a break anymore and it's quite quite
strong so that's the time when the Midwife will check and she'll say okay
it's time to push like you're definitely fully dilated 10 centimeters let's go
and once you start pushing that overwhelming feeling like wow these are
really a lot I don't know how much more I can do that oh it's time to push like
you get you even get a sense like I need to like you start to get this feeling
I'm bearing down almost like some people say you like the feeling like you need
to poop like it's all the same muscles down there kinda so it feels that way
but once I start pushing it's so much better like you're it that overwhelming
feeling like goes away almost like way way way way better it's um it takes like
the overwhelmingness the pain from like a 10 down to a 2 and then the only other
feeling of pain that you might need to that you would you're probably wanting
to be aware of while you're watching this video is like right when you're
pushing the baby out you're you know you're going to feel a little bit of a
burn where the baby's head is coming out just like a burning like almost like
you've never take your fingers and like stretch it real far like that feeling
right now that you're feeling that's what you feel it's not really worse than
that like take your two fingers and stretch
them out pretty far and you feel kind of a little bit of a burn that's what
happens but it's meant to stretch as my fingers aren't meant to do that
like don't worry it's meant to stretch down there that's what's supposed to do
supposed to stretch and release a little baby that's the whole point
and like that burning the sensation of it stretching it happened every birth
really like it I think your body really kind of goes back to normal it goes back
so every birth it goes back but it only lasts like a few seconds and then you
have your baby you know like once you're at that
burning point that's the head coming out so um that you are like the baby's about
to be out and there's your baby and once the head comes out the shoulders and
everything just come right out and you've got a little baby in your arms
and then the only real pain that you should be aware of this is more for
second and third time moms and subsequent even after that is the
contractions continue even after the baby's done like especially in the baby
starts nursing you'll get afterbirth contractions that are as strong and
uncomfortable when you start nursing and you can't do anything back you are
holding this tiny little fragile baby and you go oh man I I need to relax and
lay down but I can't because I'm holding the baby
so I recommend after ease birth tincture after ease afte R EA se you put the
droppers and water or orange juice is better and you just drink it and that
really helped with relieving the pain of the after that after birth because you
really can't relax those because you're holding the little baby it's used when
you're nursing and then the only other pain I'd mention is when you're nursing
every single time every baby your nipples just have to get used to that
again like it's they have to toughen up and get used to a new little baby but
for women who there's a lot of women who have a hard time with nursing and I will
encourage you encourage you encourage you go get professional help the people
at the hospital help you or if you did the Bradley classes often the classes
will come with someone who will teach you how to help so you are to be firm
but gentle just like the Holy Spirit and you can do this don't give up don't give
up on nursing don't give up on child birthing just know when it feels so
intense your Alma so you're probably really close to
pushing you can do this many women before you have sometimes it helps to be
an environment where there's just really not choice your home is so comforting
it's so nice to be at home I did two births in hospital one would that
horrible OB I told you at Irvine the second was at that wonderful nurse
practitioner midwife Hospital and she kind of ran the show so the other nurses
that didn't know I think my home birthing like they they really were just
there to do her bidding and she you definitely had control and that was a
great experience and then home births blew them all out of the park my husband
will rave for hours about how great and relaxing it is to sleep I agree I my own
stuff my own bed my own like everything my own it's so much more of a natural
birthing environment conducive it's just so much better to be at home it's just a
I can't even rave about it enough like I love it so if you can make it happen
that's the best place I really did love birthing at home it's I would never ever
ever ever want to go back to a hospital after being in my own wonderful home my
own wonderful bed I just remember thing the second time I was like can I please
leave like me we're good we did natural labor like I can walk like I'm literally
ready to go home and they wouldn't let me leave
like I had to stay the night and stay until like 3:00 p.m. the next day it was
so pointless and stupid because they had rules they have all sorts of rules like
you can't in some places like with a nurse practioner it was good because I
could get in at the tub and she didn't care but at Irvine they like wanted me
to get out of the tub every 10 minutes to put that stupid monitor on my belly
and check check check and it was just it made natural birthing really difficult
so I would recommend home if you can make it happen
save up the money whatever it will work out like a lot of people have payment
plans or let you pay even after the birth just make it happen if you want to
birth it home make it happen just go for it and know that it's gonna
work out you know do whatever you need to do sell some things earn some extra
money get gifts asks for Christmas instead of gifts give me money towards
my birth whatever it takes you want to birth it home make it happen
because it is so worth it alright talk to
I'm sure I hope that helps you understand natural birthing and also
what it feels like to give birth naturally from start all the way to
finish after birth and also nursing okay well I will be having a baby soon I'll
let you know about that I've got another trimester to get
through which I'm kind of glad for I like things too I like to enjoy and not
feel like things are rushed so but if you are having a baby congratulations to
you and for those who are interested may God bless you and your endeavors and in
your life and in your relationships go out and live life abundantly and I will
talk to you next week
