She absolutely does not deserve any of the stuff happening in these comments. She's not naysaying water birth or that it can be a beautiful experience. She's saying that none of it was what she thought it was or expected it to be, and she decided to go a different route the second time that thankfully was better for her.
Maybe it’s the fact that she said “I feel like the hippies lied to me“… That’s pretty much saying “this isn’t such a good thing guys, don’t listen to the hype!“. She’s making water birthday look bad.
Yeah this dummy had expectations & was living through the belief system of hippies. I will brag my son was 9lb 11oz 22 inches long, all natural. Some women are built for natural child birth, some are not. Simple.
Unmediated, non-hospital births are not for everyone. Good for her for knowing her limits!

Alex is such a sweet lady ❤
I cannot with these comments. She’s allowed to speak freely about her birth experience without being shamed. Natural birth isn’t for everyone and the pain is different for everyone.

I love Alexandra, she is so so talented end so stunningly beautiful, I absolutely love her in “Virgin River”, that series was God-sent during lockdown ❤️
I was mad during season 1, waiting for season 2. Great show!
Love Virgin River and watching her in the interview was like watching her character on TV. She is a genuine person, love that about her.
😅no😊
I think knowing and be aware of birthing options is critical, hypnobirth in a safe hospitalized setting can be the best of both worlds ❤️
Everyone has had and will have a different birthing experience. Everyone should just accept that and stop comparing. At the end of the day, you do you. Alexandra just shared HER experience, and the second time around she was even more happy. So let’s just be happy for her that she was happy.
Right??? Everyone is shaming her for spreading lies and misinformation. She just told her personal experience. She didn’t say what the right or wrong way is for all who give birth

When she mentioned pushing for two hours & no medication, Kelly winces. As to say, “ ouch!” And, “nope, not me.” 😂
Breathing and being in upright positions is what got me through all 3 of my natural births. I used a pool for 2, 1 was born as I was climbing into the pool but, none were born in the water like I hoped. I breathed all my babies down. I have never pushed and never had a baby "stuck." Look into hypnobirthing and get informed about about the physiology of birth and all your options. Whatever makes you feel most safe, relaxed and stress free is what you should choose. That is what will help labour progress.
What a wonderfully balanced comment. 👌😍
I'm glad she was able to have a positive 2nd birth.
Everyone has a different tolerance and different experience
I had 3 completely natural birth experiences. They were wonderful! Last one being water birth. It can be done. We have the highest intervention use in the world. It tends to slow things down usually and cause complications. But it's great to have in emergency
She’s so beautiful miss her on tv!
Alex has a happy family. Congrats to her!
That lady looks stunning in the white outfit.
That's Retta, comedian and actress, known for being in the show Parks and Recreation 🙂
Every experience and every woman is different. I don’t judge other woman for having a baby in a hospital with drugs or without or at home with midwives and tubs. You do you and try not to let others decide what you choose.
Now you should not be trapped in the box. I subscribed 😂
I hope this doesn’t discourage anyone from having the labor they want. I just had my third natural labor, and my baby was 9lb 8oz. I had an amazing experience and wouldn’t have wanted anything different about it!
My friend accidentally had a home water birth. Contractions were still too far apart to head toward the hospital so Dr. suggested she take a bath to help things along. Well, it helped a lil too much and dad helped mom delivery in the tub while EMS was on the way. 18 minutes from the time she got in the tub to the time baby was out. She said it was an incredible experience, but she would never want to do it again 🤣
I had two epidurals. Still in complete agony. People talking about their easy natural births… every “body” is different. Some of us would never have made it through a “natural” birth. That’s why women in 3rd world countries are still dying in birth regularly.
i had 2 epidurals as well and it felt like it made no diffrence lol.. my contractions came every 1 minute that lasted 30 seconds, so i could barley catch my breath and that lasted hours before i could get the epidural. imagine having to do it for 30 hours (wichwas my total labor time) some women are in labor for max 10 hours, and to me thats not bad but 30 hours? ya i needed the drugs, it helped with taking the edge off.
My birth story is so much like hers with her son! Only I just had to push for 20 minutes at the hospital, but my entire labor was only four hours long and that’s including the hour nap I asked the nurses to let me take once I got to the hospital and they told me I was crowning! Thank God she was only 6 pounds! #EpiduralsForLife
Don’t let this scare you mamas!! Her story is not your story. I have had two amazing and empowering births and would not call either of them painful. You do you and have the birth you want. ❤️❤️
But did you have an epidural?? I’m just very curious cause I’m not sure what I want.
@@cookinma No, I did not have an epidural. I did unmedicated births with both. I am currently planning my second home birth, third unmedicated birth. I use hypnobirthing and LOVE it. :)
Well your story is not other mamas story too
@@GitanAnimex excactly why she should not be scaring other mamas out of a birth they may want. 💁
Thank you
I had natural childbirth with no epidural - I guess having severe cramps every month helped prepare me
severe cramps is putting it mildly :P
Yes same here. I have horrible dysmenorrhea monthly and labor never got that painful.
I love her she’s gorgeous
Birth is magical no matter how it happens. I have friends who love their epidurals and one who has had 2 elective cesareans and wouldn’t have it any other way. I see a lot of defensive comments from both sides. Fact is, when you feel confident in your decision - you don’t feel the need to defend it.
she is literally the best person yay🥺
Yes to the epidural! It made it such a lovely experience x 3 ❤️❤️❤️
My unmedicated births were so empowering. Second one wasn’t even painful until transition and he was almost 10 lbs. Don’t let this scare you mamas. You got this.
Thank you
the love of my life
Same
Lindíssima Alexandra, amo a série Virgin River, atriz maravilhosa, encantadora
got to love this comment section where she is being shamed for her birth experience. all births are beautiful and unique ❤️❤️
Love Alex so much!!!!
My first was 10lbs 9oz completely natural. It's not easy to do but I tried epidural with my second. Honestly I didn't like the fact that I couldn't feel the urge to push with the epidural.
I gave birth to a 9lb baby doing a home water birth and it was the most beautiful experience. No trauma, no interventions, no drugs. Maybe not everyone can do it, but there are a lot of us that can. Dont fear monger birth, it’s not like in TV and movies
My son was 9 lbs 7 oz. I had him at home. All natural. It was amazing. I had 4 kids. No drugs. I loved giving birth
She's not fear mongering, she's being realistic and telling her own story. Good for you for having such a perfect experience
It’s exactly this kind of nastiness from women to other women over their birth stories. I’m sorry but did you get a medal for giving birth? However you did it? Which apparently was perfect.
I don't think she is trying to win a prize. I know my comment wasn't meant this way. So many times people share the hard things about giving birth. The things that go wrong. Yes, I had 4 kids naturally but that wasn't easy. It was hard. They weren't perfect. But I also like to encourage women and let them know that it's hard for a short time. But it's beautiful. The hard is worth it. Our bodies were made to do this. Just because someone shares their story doesn't mean they are trying to be nasty about it. You don't know someone's intentions through a computer.
@@lorazimmerly447 While I believe you are genuine in your comments about your own birth, it doesn’t take a lot to read between the lines of Rae of Light’s comments. “Maybe not everyone can do it, but there are a lot of us that can” and accusing someone who’s sharing their own birth story as fear mongering birth. It’s disgusting. That kind of toxicity is what makes women more scared of giving birth or feel guilty after giving birth if they did it “an alternative way” when really it doesn’t matter how you gave birth. Every person is unique and her judgmental comments are just straight up rude and snobby.
9lbs is huge for a first baby. It sounds like she suffered quite a bit.
I wood like to make a suggestion to Kelly . It wood be great to have earmuffs for kids for when it gets loud with the claping at your show when the world comes back to see you live. (sorry for my mistakes in writing. I'm french from Canada )
I like Jack and Mel they are good
I had three babies only one with epidural
What’s the big deal ? I don’t see anything wrong . She got an epidural so what ? Water birth didn’t help . So what?? What’s the problem ?
Jessie Anderson!
Childbirth is to each their own. I have six boys, five pregnancies, all different. The twins were the easiest, go figure.
AFter doing doing it natural twice then drugs third time I regretted not doing with drugs all three time
don’t let this scare you! i had a home birth after my first being a c section. it is completely possible to do it natural !
I had a 10 pound 4 baby. No drugs.
I honor all the women in 3rd world countries that have none of the help we have today. My 1st was pulled from 8c, the second was a definite c section! No way was I doing that again. The 3rd was born at 25 wks in 1985 and I had them put me to sleep.
Women in 3rd world countries have access to most of the same help, with c sections, epidurals and other assisted delivery methods.
@@doramadz6839 So true as a woman in a 3rd world African country I can attest to this .At mission hospitals you dont even have to pay anything to give birth in the hospital
Welcome to America, land of the free....unless you want to describe your own personal experience on a subject
With my second, the anesthesiologist didn’t show up and didn’t notify us he’d be late. So my epidural planned birth turned natural real quick.
I can’t eyeroll harder at this video. My unmedicated birth of my 10lb baby was a way better experience than my first two hospital inductions. You can’t just watch 1 water birth and expect to be prepared to birth unmedicated. Research and educate yourself. She didn’t even seem to know or be confident about what transition was? Give me a break.
This paints the natural/unmedicated birth community in a terrible light.
None of mine were water births, they were all hospital inductions. 8lbs 12 oz, 10lbs 4oz and 9lbs 8oz. I did without pain medication and had a very positive experience. There are definitely techniques to cope with the pain that truly work, but as a society those things get laughed at.
From my experience the natural/unmediated birth community has no problem shaming someone who does medication
@@pumpkin6464 that was never my experience. I think the natrual birth community is aware of all the unnecesary medical interventions that can occur. And it ends up snowballing moe often than not.
Sharing information would probably be taken as shaming for anyone who doesn't mind the snowball effect of interventions. And a lot of women dont mind it, it's just personal preferance.
And It's always people like you who think you are better than everyone else. Literally no one asked about your experience, this is someone who is sharing hers and if you don't like it you don't have to watch the video
@@rosegroshek1218 ah, yes, let's pretend you know anything about me other than speaking up against the new tradition of fear mongering women out of a positive birth experience🤗
You sound like a very pleasant person to have a conversation with!
So, 9 pounds isn’t really all that big. I won’t get all technical and stuff, but suffice it to say that 9 pounds, while a little above average, is not big. When she said big, I was thinking like, 11 pounds. LOL. But yeah, this kinda pisses me off because it’s misleading and scary and completely inaccurate.
No 11 pounds is huge... 9 pounds is big
@@Desmaurine technically, it’s not. A baby isn’t considered “big” until he or she weighs 9 pounds, 4 ounces. Again, 9 pounds is above average for sure, but not technically big in medical terms.
Next time get a midwife and use a birthing center, and 9 pounds is big, but not “huge”. In her defense, though, it was her first baby. We can be pretty clueless in our first pregnancies/births.
Babies must be smaller in the States. She made such a fuss over her baby being "enormous" so when she said he was only 9lb it took me by surprise. I have 4 grandchildren and the smallest one was 9lb 6oz, the others were 9lb 11oz, 10lb 5oz and 10lb 12oz! and every one was at least 2 weeks early. The 10lb 5oz one was a month early! Now that's what you call big babies.
Those are definitely big babies but 9lbs is over the average and is still a big baby. My first was 9lbs 7oz and that was big enough for me it wasn't pretty 🤣🤣🤣
The mean or average birth weight in the United States is approximately 7.5 pounds. I have no idea what it is in other countries, but 9 pounds is definitely bigger than average. As Jamie said, it's not the biggest anyone has ever heard of, but it's still on the larger side.
@@vocalnerd 9lb is a big baby but not, in my opinion, enormous, as she said. I honestly thought that it must have been about 11lbs when she kept saying how enormous it was.
What country are you in?
@@lisagrace6471 England.
It's so dangerous . those fake Drs don't trust them. You need a real dr
Pregnant women and people, know that 9lbs isnt a huge baby. It is a normal healthy size. Our bodies are magic and even truly big babies can be born naturally. Your baby will fit you!
Sorry 10 and a half lbs is big...I did it with no meds
