Natural Birth Mamas?

Hey is there any moms like myself that had a natural birth with no epidural? So last year I delivered my daughter all natural and I pushed for maybe 10 minutes, I did like 5-6 pushed I think. And I’m having my son here soon and I’m going natural again I hope. I been seeing people saying that they pushed their baby out it 2-3 pushes! If that happens to be anyone of you, how exactly did you push baby out in 2-3 pushes??? I really need to know how I could make that go faster for myself lol like am I pushing wrong?

I had my 1st with pitocin and an epidural, my 2nd natural and 3rd is also on the way so, I don't exactly have the experience yet but I'd say it's more important to trust your body to do what it needs to avoid tearing. Good luck!

I’ve had my 4 babies all natural and one was a water birth best experience ever in my opinion. I feel like it depends on if you have a doctor or a midwife because they work very differently. When you feel the urge to push is when I think you should take a deep breathe and prepare to do a big push. Like I said depends also on who your provider is, maybe talk to them and see what they say.

I had all natural birth twice and 1st one took 6 pushes in 15 mins and my last one took me 1 push lol she was coming out flying! I just push when I needed to and it’s like you’re pooping lol. That’s how I was told that you’re pushing the right way 🤷‍♀️😂. Usually 2nd baby goes faster and quicker because your body knows what to do for 2nd time.

I had my son all natural, I don't know how many pushes it was lol how do you guys remember that! With all the pain then the joy of hearing him cry right when he popped out there is no way I was counting pushes or minutes 😂 it is important to listen to your body so you don't have a bad tear though so even if you need to push a little slower your body will do what it needs to do! I am told the second baby is easier than the first. (Edit to add I had a midwife at my hospital and a team of amazing nurses, was a great experience)

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Rolling milestone at 5 months - What’s typical ?

Good morning ladies,

My daughter will be 5 months old tomorrow, but there’s still no sign of her rolling. She does tummy time and loves lying on her mat, playing with hanging toys above her and to the sides, but she only lifts her legs and doesn’t seem interested in rolling or moving sideways yet.

Anyone else the same or have your babies already learnt how to roll yet ?

Thank you
