Please don't ever feel bad for wishing the birth had gone differently. Of course the priority is that you and baby are healthy, but you are 100% allowed to be disappointed/have mixed feelings about the birth. Doesn't mean you're not grateful. And you can look back months later and realize that birth can be beautiful and traumatic at the same time. That was my experience, time and if needed therapy really help to come to terms with the upsetting parts of birth. Congratulations on your boy 🎉
Yes! This exactly! Just because things didn't go horribly wrong doesn't mean that it wasn't still traumatic, down playing our own bad experiences because "someone else had it worse" doesn't help you heal.
I didn't have ANY of the "beautiful, powerful feminine energy" expectations that you did when I gave birth (maybe that attitude just wasn't as widely spread 15+ years ago?) and my labor and delivery was textbook and relatively short.
AND STILL it was Traumatic! Honestly I can't wrap my head around someone who would describe it as anything but.. it is PAINFUL, it changes your body FOREVER.
You are not betraying your Joy by acknowledging the pain.
💚
I agree 100%

I was here when she was cutting her own bangs and now she has a beautiful baby. Congratulations girl ❤
Sameeee me tooo❤

Here since the sock bun!
Me too!
Sock bun! :)
All 4 of my babies wanted to stay in my womb. Lol So, all were unmedicated inductions. They last one being 30 years ago. I think it must be hard with social media showing all of these home births and making a hospital birth seem like a bit of a failure. Your body did what it was made to do, even if it needed help. We are blessed to live in a time when intervention makes it possible for baby and Mom to be safely delivered of a human! Congratulations Mama!
I hadn't thought of the social media aspect, it was 15+ years ago for me and a lot of the ideas she talks about having here are things I've never heard of before. It's been so long since I've been in that kind of information space I just had no idea that it had changed so dramatically. I never conceptualized giving birth as something to look forward to, holding the baby afterwards sure, but the actual labor was always going to be hard work in my mind.
My birthing story for both of my children was wildly different than I had planned or hoped for, as well. Some people will shut you down with “but your baby is healthy so what does it matter,” but please know it’s okay to grieve that experience you had so hoped to have. It doesn’t make you ungrateful for a healthy baby. Congratulations on your baby. I wish you and your family every happiness!
Your feelings regarding your birth experience are 100% valid. Having an induction and a very medicalized birth is a tough experience even if "both baby and mom are ok". I had a traumatic birth and lost one of my babies, and I believe all women deserve a beautiful birth and are allowed to be sad when birth did not happen how they wanted it to happen.
This resonated with me very strongly, my son was born at 42+3 after every intervention and ultimately we needed an emergency C-section to bring him here. Please know that whatever you feel about your birth experience is completely valid. It took me a long time to wrap my head around the trauma from my own birth and I'm now 10 weeks away from having my second child. Just know that you did everything right and you are completely allowed to feel disappointed by the experience. I hope motherhood is treating you well, congratulations Lucy!
Congratulations! Floris is a beautiful name.
It reminds me of Florian in French, which I really like!
It’s absolutely not ungrateful to have to grieve not having a home birth and the experience you really wanted. You can recognize that you didn’t have a fully positive experience while also being glad it went ok. ❤️❤️
I never expected to see the photos you have shared on instagram of your son. Whether it's his hand or the back of his head. I never expected you'd show us that much. So thank you. I feel like you're sharing a little of him with us while keeping your privacy. Congratulations on the birth of your little boy by the way
Congratulations Lucy! ❤ from LOTR braids to babies. Time flies!
Congratulations! Please don’t feel like you are complaining. Giving birth is a massive deal and even though others have different experiences that doesn’t make yours any less valid!
It's perfectly normal to feel how you feel. Don't deny your feelings just to assuage someone else's. You'll end up hurting yourself much more.
Incredible story. Even though nothing went "wrong" per se I think it's ok to feel conflicted about the experience which did not go according to your plans so don't feel bad about it ❤️
Delighted to see you back mama and happy you are doing well! 💖 So important to share these stories ❤ My first didn’t go to plan either and I felt like I couldn’t admit to being basically traumatised by it (because ultimately I was very lucky that baby was born healthy!) but ALL EXPERIENCES AND BIRTHS ARE VALID xxxxx
My eldest son was born three weeks early at nearly 11 pounds. I had undiagnosed gest diabetes because I had been through so many doctors at a university hospital that nobody followed up on some thing they should have. I wanted to have a natural childbirth and all of that stuff kind of like you but in the 1988 version of it. None of that happened and a lot of bad things actually happened and honestly, I was mad at myself. I was mad at the doctors. I was mad at the whole system and you know what ultimately I got over it because I had my baby and he’s perfect in spite of everything. Eventually, he was the healthy baby. He was meant to be. we don’t have control over so many things and for me I just look at it as if I had been born 100 years before I was or even maybe 50, I probably wouldn’t have survived that pregnancy and it’s doubtful that my son would have either. All the interventions were probably not necessary, but the ultimate one was a cesarean section and as he was almost 11 pounds it was necessary. I had three days of induction. My waters were broken. I had a monitor and all kinds of things that added up to awfulness. Subsequent pregnancies, I learned that my body will not dilate no matter how long I am pregnant it just won’t. It doesn’t matter how long I’m induced it won’t. I, and at least two of my children are only here because of modern medicine so it may not have always been done perfectly, but it had to be done even though I didn’t like it even though it didn’t go along with anything I wanted. I wanted the kids and I got them so there’s that.😊 take it easy and enjoy your sweet little baby boy.
Congrats on your baby! You'll find yourself wondering how you ever had a life before him - babies bring so much stress, but also so much joy to your life. Especially once they start developing a personality.
Birth story: mine was horrific. I was 20 and very underprepared. I ended up having pre-eclampsia, so I was taken into hospital several weeks ahead of my due date to try and induce labor. I ended up there for a week, on stroke medication, with a central line in my neck after 17 IVS and another central line infiltrated. I was so swollen by the end of it, I had blisters all over my legs and I was unrecognizable in a mirror. The labor wasn't too bad, but I hemorrhaged and nearly died. I ended up having to get a few blood transfusions. I survived, my daughter was born healthy and did fine, but the whole thing was traumatic for everyone involved. I don't remember most of it now, it's just a blur, but two years later my OB/GYN said basically I should never have been able to get pregnant in the first place, my uterous was full of cysts and scar tissue, and endometriosis, and I ended up getting a full hysterectomy when my daughter was 2 years old. 10/10 would not recommend, but was totally worth it.
Childbirth is a birthing of a mother and father too. Your strength shows at feeding times now.
My first son's birth was at hospital, induced at 37weeks and full of meds. Hated it, even now I feel like I'm grieving my experience, he's 4yo and great! My second son's birth happen on covid lockdown I was utterly alone no support and my midwife didn't want to help during birth...it was natural however but still in hospital and not what I wanted. My third son was at home, uneducated, relaxed and with my husband. It was beautiful, perfect and my new midwife was an absolute angel. ❤ Every birth is different and honestly home birthing was my dream, keep your dream to give birth at home for the next one Loepsie!! Glad to hear baby Floris is healthy and happy. ❤
From seeing you cutting your bangs to now a mother...May God bless you and yours with great health, immense love and all the healing....❤❤❤ Love from India
Congratulations Lucy, I've been watching you since we were both in highschool and you were doing your super early hair care videos. You were the first RUclipsr I discovered on my first summer using RUclips, and you feel like such an old friend and I'm so so proud of you
I had a very similar birth with my first. I never went into labor naturally on my own and felt that disappointment and anxiety with myself. I felt all the same feelings, and just because you didn’t have medical emergencies doesn’t mean you didn’t have trauma. It is okay to grieve the experience you wanted to have. Allow yourself that because it will help you heal. I still look back at my birth and the early weeks with him with a lot of bittersweet feelings and it’s been a few years. I just gave birth to my second and it was 180 degree different experience and it reminded me of a lot of the trauma of my first that I had forgotten about, or thought I had processed and they resurfaced. I felt that grief again for my first experience. I realized in hindsight just how much trauma I really did have. My first was born during covid, we came home had had no help, exhausted and so so lonely. I actually felt very anxious and unsure with my second birth in the beginning. But it was overall so different and healing. Allow yourself the time to process, grieve and heal! It might take a while, and that’s okay, and it doesn’t diminish any of what you experienced at all. ❤
Welcome baby! Congratulations parents!
I'm a mom of 7 and I've had a few challenging births and delivery, so I truly understand ❤ You did wonderful 🎉
You're definitely not alone in feeling conflicted and about your birth experience. I also wanted an unmedicated, natural birth. I had to be induced as well, and in the US they go straight for the most extremely measures. I caved and got an epidural, which terrified me. My baby went into distress and I ended up having an emergency C section. He's almost 12 and I'm still salty about it! I already didn't love being pregnant and that was just the icing on the cake. If anything, I'm sad that I let the birth experience taint the entire pregnancy. Thank you for sharing your story and being so candid!
It’s ok to feel both gratitude and disappointment at the same time! I did everything in my power to avoid a c-section but as the weeks went on it seemed more and more likely. Finally I scheduled an ECV as a last effort to get her head down, but ended up having an emergency c-section days before the ECV was scheduled. Turns out baby girl had her chord wrapped three times. I’m incredibly grateful that things worked out as they did, because it was the safest way to bring her into the world and she’s here safe and healthy! But I’m still disappointed I wasn’t able to have the broth I wanted, and that’s ok too!
Congratulations! I've been watching you for years and years and now I'm having my own little one within months of yours!
thank you for sharing your birth story! this all feels very special to me, as i first discovered your channel when sewing my wedding dress, and when i got pregnant, i saw that you were expecting too! and now our baby girl is 3 weeks younger than Floris. we also had a different birth than what i envisioned in my birth plan, though my daughter decided to come out by herself on the day i would've gone to the hospital to start the induction 😅 i still had a positive experience, because the hospital staff was amazingly supportive and informative. i think it's important to share the real experience, not just the euphoric and positive ones. birth is so much more than "both mama and baby are healthy" and most people forget that. congratulations and enjoy your time with your new family ❤️
Congratulations! I went 42 weeks with five of my six children and 43 weeks with one of them! I have a normal 42 weeks gestation. We even tried getting them out and they wanted to stay in. Enjoy your little newborn baby boy! My sister-in-law lives in Aarhus.
I love that you are choosing not to share too much about your baby boy, not because I wouldn't love to see him, but because you see so many mums sharing everything about their child's life on social media these days without a care in the world about their child's privacy. It is refreshing to see someone value their family's privacy over content. Not to mention most of the comments on "mom content" are usually filled with judgmental moms telling every other mom how they are doing everything wrong. I used to consume a lot of it unfortunately. Glad to see you are avoiding it! ❤
Congratulations! Floris is such a beautiful name!
Been here since the sock bun secret, this is absolutely wild. Congratulations 💗
42 weeks! Floris was comfy! 😅 Congratulations to you and your lovely family. ❤❤❤
Congratulations on baby Floris, Lucy! I'm glad both you and the baby are doing well. Your feelings are natural and I appreciate your honesty. You were in my prayers during your pregnancy and labor. I had all four of my children without pain meds (1985-1990). The three girls were super fast labor and deliveries, and I had to be induced with our son. That labor and delivery was traumatic partially due to the pitocin and he was a dry birth.
I was induced 2x due to preeclampsia. Hospital births both times because of my bp (it's just always been high). I'm glad baby is here and I'm sorry it took so long to get it started! Sometimes they just don't want to leave! It's okay to grieve the birth you wanted. It's also important that people talk about it. I feel like so often all we hear about are the beautiful "perfect" births or the super traumatic ones. It's important to talk about the in betweens!
There is so much emphasis on having a good birth,and a beautiful experience these days. It hardly ever happens like that in reality,except my English teacher delivered her first in 1h45mins. I think she must have been a sheep! You are both healthy,which is the main thing.
A sheep 😂. A friend of my MIL also delivered her child in 3 hours. So it seems to be a thing (for a minority of people).
@@dottiewi661 My sisters and sister-in-law all went into labour in the early morning and had their babies later that day ( between 3 and 7/8 hours).
My mum have super fast births. She lives a 10 minute drive from the hospital and she has never actually given birth in a hospital bed. I was born in the hospital parking lot in the car, my sister was born in the hospital elevator and my brother was born in the hallway at home. She said it took longer making us than birthing us, we basically just fell out of her 😂
@@Nmbr1fan now that I think of it, one participant in our pre-birth-info course already had several children, and always had ultra fast births (also minutes, like in your family) and a premature baby. She was looking into homebirths or birthing in a midwife-led birthing centre (that the course was at, and from which one midwife also was delivering home births) but because of her history (likely a cervix issue?) wasn’t advised to, was annoyed with that, because most of her births happened before she was at the hospital, and the ambulance personnel at least had to try to bring her to the hospital in time, but she said it just wasn’t realistic…
I had my boy the 28th of April 🩵 congrats mama! It’s the most intense thing ever.
First of all, congratulations to you, your husband and Floris
I'm surprised that the pushing is even a thing in Netherlands, by our midwives they are often presented as a country with very modern procedures and this is very dangerous and not an EBM (I know about a case when this type of "help" ended up with the mother being seriously injured and the child left in a vegetative state for more than 10 years... the court hearings still haven't ended, but the child is already gone...).
I was told it's not really done anymore, I got the feeling it was a fairly unique thing. The nurse who preformed the procedure (who just came in for the night shift) was the only one in the hospital who knew how to do it, and they definitely considered all the circumstances. Baby was already crowning and there was enough room for him to come out, I just wasn't pushing with enough strength. But yeah, I only found out just how risky the push was afterward 😅 Very glad it went well!
@@Loepsie I'm glad it went well too!!! 💜💜💜
Congratulations to you both on the birth of your beautiful, healthy little boy 🥰🩵
Congrats! What a huge leap from sock buns!!! Can't believe ur a Momma now, such an exciting new chapter of ur life!!!🎉🎉🎉
I hear you dear Lucy. I hope 'debriefing' here really helps with your healing from the experience..
Congratulations 🎊 God bless your family!✨
Welcome back, and congratulations on your baby boy!
I’ve had 2 c sections and I never thought of it that way, when you said “I feel like the birth was happening to me and I was just surviving it”.
I definitely felt that way with both of my deliveries. It took me a really long time to accept everything
Congratulations - you all have a world of adventure ahead of you x
Hearty congratulations loepsie🎉🎉🎉🎉
Aww I never clicked on a video so fast! So beautiful to see you as a mommy. ❤
Congratulations!!! Here is the USA, we give birth and typically go home with baby less than 12 hours after. No nurse or help. Just another of information right before we leave. It's nerve racking! But I loved my burth! We listen to music, singing between contractions. I wish everyone could have an amazing tranquil experience
Wait what! I live in CT, I had a normal, vaginal delivery, and they made me stay at the hospital for 72hrs 😭 I would have loved to have gone home right away
@@MistressBella1533my first was uncomplicated vaginal delivery and discharged at 72 hrs and my second, I had an emergency C-section where baby was born at 32 weeks and spent a month in the NICU. Even then I was discharged after 72 hrs. Never heard of anyone getting released after just 12 hrs!
Congratulations, so happy that you and baby are doing well! You’re exactly right about it still being fresh and your perspective shifting / softening with time ❤ enjoy this time, it goes quickly!
Congratulations and Blessings to you and your new bundle of joy!!! 🩵👶💚
My first birth was quite similar to yours in that it was an induction, which I didn’t want, and resulted in me getting an epidural, which I eventually requested because I knew I didn’t have the stamina to go on given how slowly I was progressing. I have mixed feelings about it, because like you everything went well, but it just wasn’t what I’d envisioned or prepared for during pregnancy. My second birth, however, was everything I wanted. It was a beautiful birth center water delivery and was absolute magic. So you might get what you hope for the second time around! Maybe not, but I’ve learned every birth is going to be its own thing. Know you’re not alone in your mixed feelings and that it’s okay to feel that way! Congratulations on Floris; he sounds like a dream.
Congratulations! Best of luck as you and your family continue on the next part of your wonderful adventure with your baby .💖💖🤗🤗
I am just so over the moon happy for you and your new little family 🖤 enjoy this time, so cliché, but it really does go by so quickly.
I can clearly see you are such a good Mamma already 🖤
WOW. Sounds like you had a very challenging experience giving birth to Floris and now have an awesome story to share forever. Plus, your story has a STELLAR ending: both you and Floris are healthy and doing well! You did really well. Congratulations to you and Robert. I hope y'all are getting some sleep. Looking forward to seeing what's happened in your garden and whatever else you decide to share.
Congratulations to you both on your new arrival
Congratulations and welcome to the world, Floris!!!! 🎊🎉
Adore your dress. Take your time and enjoy your baby. Congratulations!
Congratulations ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I am happy that baby and you are good! I wish you a wonderful time with him!!
Floris is beautiful and it’s amazing to see you again!
I’d love to see you making more corset tops when you’re able, they’re beautiful! ❤
Thank you for sharing this very honest insight into your birthing experience! I can imagine that coming to terms with the whole experience might take a while. Congratulations on your beautiful baby ❤
I'm childfree by choice, but my sister in law had an interesting experience with her first pregnancy. I can't speak to all of it, as it wasn't me going through it, but I do know she was in labor for what seemed like hours before the doctors decided to do a C-section because my nephew was stuck. I believe he was around 12 pounds! I remember my mom freaking out, thinking he would be brain damaged, but he came out just fine, albeit with a bit of a conehead from being stuck. It went away fairly quickly and now he's 24, married and a news anchor in Texas. Congrats on your little one! Love the dress you're wearing in this video. :)
congratulations loepsie 💕💕
Thank you so much for sharing!❤❤❤
I am so excited for you!
I’d love to see more cooking or meal prep, deco and reno, definitely more hair stuff! More tea time! And sewing is always ALWAYS welcomed♥️
Congratulations Lucy! SO happy for you! ♥
Congratulations to you and dad. Welcome baby ❤
Congratulations! Understand the mixed feelings, wish you all the best! 🤗💕
Your video has left a lasting impression on me. I can't stop thinking about it!

I'm just here to say "happy baby" and wish you the best!
Congratulations on your son... may he bring you all the happiness you deserve.

Congratulations ! ❤❤❤
Awwwww bless you so glad everything turned out okay in the end, congratulations
Congrats and good to hear you're all well.
I'd love to watch anything to do with hair. Those kind of videos are interesting as well as inspiring.
So very happy for you loupsie. ❤
Congratulations 👶🏻💕 anything food or closet related is what I love to watch. Also, easy vintage/retro hairstyles.
Congratulations and blessings!
It was really therapeutic to hear you talking about your birthing experience with such a good choice of words.
My birthing experience was very similar. I didn't want a natural birth and in France you have to give birth in a hospital but I really wanted to like giving birth and to feel strong about it. Instead my water broke and it took three days, four different inductions and a c section to finally get baby out. It really didn't help my postpartum recovery, especially because I was so tired after. I was also a bit bittersweet about this experience that I thought I would love or at least remember like a very powerful moment.
It's been a year and a half now and I'm better. Therapy helped and of course seeing my beautiful boy growing every day.
Me racing to RUclips to watch! Congratulations….so happy for your new little family. 💕
Congratulations on your new baby boy, my son was induced at 42 weeks and my daughter was 1 day over but I was due to be induced the following day as she had stopped growing at 32 weeks, epidural for son but nothing for her and she was under 3 hours from first contraction to the last stitch. It's 35 years ago now but I still remember seeing them for the 1st time. ❤
CONGRATULATIONS!
Congratulations!!
You look amazing!! Congratulations
Thanks for sharing!
Congratulations Lucy.
Congratulations on the healthy birth of your son. You look wonderful and I am happy for your growing family.
Congratulations!!! 🎉
Congratulations! Im sorry things didnt pan out as hoped, your feelings are totally valid ❤ i hope your hair doesn't fall off! Lol i would love hair videos or more content about post pregnancy (diet, how you feel, how your routines change). Welcome back to RUclips and wishing you and your family well ❤
Congratulations! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Congratulations 🎊!
Congratulations Lucy ❤
My heart goes out to you. We didn't manage a home birth until baby number 4, Also the sleepies is sign of getting near.
Congratulations! Such a beautiful little baby for you and your husband.
Congratulations Lucy! I am so happy your baby boy is here and that you are both healthy 🙏🏻 don't worry about not having the birth you wanted, many of us didn't. I try to focus mostly on knowing that God was taking care of me and my baby all the time. Enjoy each second with your baby, time goes by so quickly 🥹
