How to Breathe in Labor (Class 13 Transition and Pushing)

In this class, we dive into what breathing looks like during the final stages of labor — transition and pushing. You’ll learn how to adjust your breath when contractions get stronger and closer together, what to do if you start holding your breath, and how to use your instincts when it’s time to push. We’ll also cover natural vs. coached pushing, how partners can help, and practical ways to stay calm, focused, and powerful through every stage. ✨ Perfect for anyone preparing for childbirth — whether you’re planning a natural birth, have an epidural, or simply want to feel confident and in control. #birthbreathing #lamaze #childbirtheducation Build a positive mindset for birth with these videos: ✴️First Trimester Affirmations https://youtu.be/8bfyiZA-qcE ✴️Second Trimester Affirmations https://youtu.be/si_sqUULBrY ✴️Third Trimester Affirmations https://youtu.be/kvLnNSlvtv0 ✴️Labor and Birth Affirmations https://youtu.be/Z21zpRp8a3s ✴️Positive Pregnancy Affirmations for Sleep https://youtu.be/DrQ6atZjk9M // JOIN A CHILDBIRTH CLASS WITH ME 💡20% off Childbirth Class with Alice - https://birthtoolbox.com/YT20off ⚡️SupportingHer Class for Dads and Partners (20% off coupon) https://birthtoolbox.com/SH20YT //// PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS //// ⭐First and Second Trimester - Amazon links o Amazon Baby Registry: https://amzn.to/3lQeyAH o Body Pillow https://amzn.to/3WRVzLU o Birth Ball https://geni.us/BirthBall ⭐Third Trimester - Amazon links o Dates https://geni.us/EatTheseDates o Red Raspberry Leaf Tea https://geni.us/RedRaspberryLeaf ⭐Hospital Bag - Amazon links o Battery Operated Candles https://geni.us/BatteryOperatedLights o Amazing Water Bottle from the UK: https://geni.us/BestWaterBottle o Battery Operated Lights: https://geni.us/BatteryOperatedLights o Easy Massage Ball Kit https://geni.us/FavoriteMassageToolKit ⭐Postpartum o Always Disposable Period Underwear (in the video) https://amzn.to/4bg0OcB (amazon) o Cute mesh underwear (MOON MAMA) Get 15% off with this link https://shop.heymoonmama.com/discount/ALICETURNER?ref=rZ3wAiqHWyubpf o Audiobooks while breastfeeding: https://amzn.to/346UtjD (Amazon) About the course: In this 15-class series, you’ll build a strong foundation for breathing through every stage of labor — from early contractions to pushing.
