Every labor is different and everyone’s experience is unique! This is an informative reenactment of my four births.
Stage 1 Early Labor:You can breathe better as baby may have dropped, you may have lost your mucus plug, you may have a burst of energy known as nesting, and Braxton Hicks may come more regularly.
Stage 2 Pushing Stage: Pain with the contractions, though possibly not as much, an overwhelming urge to push (though not every woman feels it, especially if she’s had an epidural)
,re**al pressure ,a burst of renewed energy or fatigue🤷🏽♀️contractions,
A tingling, stretching, burning or stinging sensation know as the ring of fire at the va**na as your baby’s head emerges
Stage 3 Afterbirth:
After the birth of your baby, your uterus continues to contract to push out the placenta (afterbirth). The placenta usually delivers about 5 to 15 minutes after the baby arrives.
Stage 4 Recovery
Your baby is born, the placenta has delivered, and you and your partner will probably feel joy, relief, and fatigue. Most babies are ready to nurse within a short period after birth. Others wait a little longer. If you are planning to breastfeed, we strongly encourage you to try to nurse as soon as possible after your baby is born. Nursing right after birth will help your uterus to contract and will decrease the amount of bleeding.
