I didn’t even mention my favorite part at 36:05 when I just straight up tell myself, “I can do this.” and both of my parents speak that over me right along with me- 🥺
I've given birth to 9 babies. One three weeks early, 1 a week late, and the others all in between :) No rhyme or reason! The last 6 at home in the water. Lord willing, our 10th will arrive this June ❤️
❤ you are a strong moma. Congratulations 🎉
Omg! Congratulations 👏 how are you and how is your 10th baby?
Thank you! Baby arrived a week ago, and is just so sweet. Best 1 hour labor/delivery I could have asked for ❤️ So thankful!
@@tankatlyncongratulations 🎉❤
@@tankatlynWhat a blessing! I love that you say “Lord Willing”, as it is all Truly according to His Will! Many blessings to you and your new little blessing, and you give me Hope! I have been praying for a short labor/delivery myself in August with my seventh. God bless big families!!
As I prepare mentally for the birth of my baby, I usually like to just jump into the birth footage on these vlogs, but something told me to stop and listen and I’m so glad I did. As a doula and woman about to give birth to my 5th baby, everything everything you said is what all mamas need to hear; mamas birthing for the first time, those yearning to redeem traumatic birth experiences, those fighting against the mainstream and media led mindset of birth as horrible pain that just need reminders of the joy and gift that birth is…. this is so healing and so truthful of a picture of birth. Thank you so much for your vulnerability and transparency. How loving of you to share in this way. You should really consider getting into childbirth education and birth doula work- women like you helping to nurture this way of thinking are so needed.
So wild - I had the same experience! I'm also a doula and pregnant with my first. I usually fast forward to the birth footage but for the first time in ages I actually listened to everything in the intro and it really hit home for me. Thank you so much for sharing!
Beautiful! Your husband was so happy when it was over and you were both okay. He was stressed, you can tell he didn't like seeing you hurting.
Oh this entire experience was torture for him, you’re right… 🥺🥲 But yes, like a light switch once she was born & crying! Haha- completely different version of him. 😂
As a home birth doula- you go girl!! Thanks for using your platform to speak on things you’re passionate about! It matters!
Thank you so much!! 🌸
I am currently 36 weeks pregnant with my first and am watching all the Homebirth videos to prepare for mine. Thank you for sharing your story & the footage. I am in literal tears right now, Birth is so beautiful.
Amazing!!! You can do this beautiful mama!
You can comment on how beautiful birth is after you've done it. Ps most home births fail because momma wants pain relief that she can only get in hospital. Good luck.😊
@@louiseray9274 It sounds like you’re annoyed at the conversation here because you feel people shouldn’t comment on birth if they haven’t experienced it yet, is that correct?
@@louiseray9274 girl shut up
I’ve probably watched a total of 20 videos on women speaking about their labor experience and even though they were positive this video is by far the most helpful and has given me the most peace of mind and has made me feel so empowered. Thank you so much for sharing 🤍
Such strength and grace both in telling your story and in the birth footage, well done mama, what a beautiful home birth! Personally, I tend to go past 40 weeks. My first son was 41+1 born in a birth center, similarly to you my most pain free/hypnobirth experience. 9lb 2oz. My second son was 40+5, birth center, longer labor but shorter push time. 8lb 9oz. My third son was 41+6, born at home, shortest labor biggest babe at 9lb 10oz. Currently 26 weeks pregnant with likely our last baby, planning our second home birth. I think it is so vital to have full autonomy over what happens to you and to birth where you are comfortable. I’m so thankful my husband has been supportive of my less than conventional birth choices and I’m even more thankful for my beautiful healthy birth experiences. Our bodies are so incredible and capable. I love watching birth stories and really enjoyed yours. Thank you for how you champion and encourage trusting your own body. Has me feeling excited and honored to experience and surrender for a fourth time.
Had a completely unassisted birth and pregnancy with my first and only son. It was an amazing experience. Our bodies are so capable, despite what mainstream medicine likes to tell us.
Yessss, so beautiful! Amazing job, mama… to live outside of fear is a powerful place to be.
I really want to do this with my children from now on. I’m due in 3 weeks and I’m going to have a midwife but some things have come up that I’ve realized I’d much rather just trust in God and my ability to grow and birth my babies on my own from now on. I just wonder how you went about newborn testing and making sure everything’s legal! I live in WA state for per say the PKU testing is mandatory unless you exempt yourself religiously. Did you take your babe to a pediatrician right after? That’s the only thing holding me back is it’s hard to find information on what to do shortly after the birth!
Me too!!! Best experience of my life, I'm obsessed and already want another one 😍
@@Mamasalgado69 libe in WA state and just had an unassisted birth. I also have friends who have. Please reach out if interested I'd love to help you prepare even if you want to have THIS one at ho.e in a few weeks you CAN!
My first, a daughter, was the same. Completely unassisted at home. I loved it. This time I have a midwife and am due next month. I have had so many disagreements with her already, so I'm undecided about calling them lol. I have a great doula though. If I do call the midwives it will probably be very late, hopefully too late for them too arrive on time. I don't want them here during labour. They've made it clear they will pike and prod whether or not I like it. My doula will happily toss them out for me though if I ask.
it's still crazy to me that such a existential magical experience that childbirth is takes so little room in our lives and the public discourse. I fe like it needs to be talked about SO much more!
I made a TikTok video about this and the negative feedback I got blew me away, 😂 The general statements I saw were claiming that the narrative around birth is overwhelmingly positive and phony, and that I was gaslighting women by saying birth was beautiful. So mind blowing.
This was so helpful to me. Thank you for being so vulnerable in sharing it. Its so beautiful and makes me feel stronger and braver just watching it.
Also Tommy was so supportive and sweet. It was so comforting to know that that kind of support is possible. I hope I find someone like that someday.
Thanks again for this beautiful video.
I’ve had two home births so far and am open to as many children as the Lord gives us ❤ congrats!
I am 9 weeks pregnant at 35 y/o with my first, and this is one of my favorite birth videos. I’m really trying to wire my brain around so many of the words you used in this video…surrender, control, open, divine, transformative, euphoric, trust. Thank you for sharing her birth story. Encourages me and excites me to share mine next year too!
I’m not embarrassed to say I cried. This was so beautiful. Thank you.
This video made me cry!! So so beautiful!! Your words and encouragement so uplifting, motivating, pure, and powerful!! Thank you so so much for making this video!! I have it saved to watch in September when I’m due and again for any future babies I may have as a beautiful reminder!! Thank you!! 🙏🏻 ❤😍🥰
I’m pregnant with my first and always knew I would home birth. It has been so hard to find someone who showcases a TRUE home birthing experience… and a positive one. This was beautiful to watch, thank you for sharing such an intimate experience- this gives me so much confidence!
This is so encouraging. I am a first time mom, one angel baby and first soon to be earth side baby due in a couple months. I’m planning on having a physiological birth with no intervention god willing. ❤ thanks for sharing this beautiful story
Just hearing the correct terminology here is so encouraging of the direction things are going for women in terms of empowered, educated birth. I am praying for you!
Wow. What a warrior you are. Really inspiring birth and you handled it like a pro. I had my first birth in the hospital and on my own which was a big mistake. I basically waited until I was 7-8 cm dilated and then, walked to the hospital as it was close to my house. The doctors were extremely surprised that I was that far. The pain was manageable until I went in and started getting distracted, told what to do, what not to do, etc. I bet you if I stayed at home like you did, things would have turned out a lot better. With that said - he is perfect, and things did end well. It's just the ending was pretty traumatic as a whole bunch of nurses had to pull him out and I was rushed to start pushing before it was time. When I got to the hospital my body kind of shut down and refused to cooperate because the environment didn't feel safe for me. If I ever have kids again, the I would also love to do a home birth like you. You're extremely fortunate that you have had so much support. It's imperative. To have that support system in place. Really well-done Kate. You should be so proud of yourself.
I love love love watching home births!! Absolutely beautiful. So calm and unrushed, a few people patiently waiting for mama to do what her body is designed to do, and watching it power through. You were amazing to watch, so present and ready, awesome inspiration for other mamas out there! Thank you for sharing!
You’re story is beautiful. Your real footage was very helpful and reassuring for me. Thank you for sharing these precious moments.
This is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. This made me cry happy tears for you and your family. I'm 10 weeks with my first one and it's sweet souls like yours that help us mamas navigate this experience in such a calm, peaceful, natural, conscious way. Bless you and your family! Much Aloha!
This is hands down my favourite birthing story and video. I’m gonna keep this in my back pocket to rewatch in a few months when it’s time for me (my first). Thank you so much for being vulnerable and open with sharing your story ❤
I am currently 36w5d and this brought tears to my eyes. I’m a first time mom and plan to have a home birth as well. Just the joy you can see on your face after she is born is just so beautiful and reminds me that all of the pain and hardship is worth it once that baby is in your arms. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story 🩷
The way you described, compared and contrast your babies birth was so beautiful, and very well put together. I really enjoyed this. I also had a home birth with my second child , it was so amazing. I naturally gave birth to a 9.6lb baby :)
I love this video!!! It is so encouraging and positive! I almost cried when she was born and put on your chest! I’m prepping for my third baby. My first two were unmedicated. I’m watching a lot of positive birth stories and this one really just hit home! Thanks!!!
I had prior uterine surgery because of a large fibroid which made vaginal birth extremely dangerous . but I’m a labor and delivery nurse and absolutely love helping mothers through their labor no matter how it happens! Home births are incredible!
Thank you so much for sharing this vulnerable and beautiful story. I’m pregnant with my first and this made me feel so empowered and normal to want to have my baby at home. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
I am pregnant with my first and am planning an unmedicated home birth. its never something I thought I would ever consider... I always just assumed i would opt for a hospital and as many free drugs as I could get... but actually, now, being pregnant and speaking with my midwives and my doula... I believe I can do it. I am afraid, but excited about it. Your story and others are so encouraging!
Oh wow I’m in tears how beautiful. I find births so emotional ❤ congrats she’s just perfect and thanks for sharing and making home births so much more normal for people. We also had a home birth and was the best experience ever!
Well this has me crying Especially seeing the husband's emotions
this is so beautiful!! I am so happy for you and this is so inspiring. I watched your first birth story vlog which came out when I was pregnant with my first and I was trying to prepare for unmedicated birth, and this is so wonderful to see years later!! go mama!
Awwww thank you for being here!!! 🥹
Planning my first birth, a homebirth. This was absolutely beautiful, thank you for sharing 💗💗
Ahhhh so excited for you!!! Birth is transformative and beautiful- congratulations! ✨
I’m 34 having my first bio baby at home. I’m 30 weeks and know all too well the fear mongering. I’ve watched tons of videos trying to prep myself as well as learn techniques, and I must say this is the most powerful video I’ve come across. I’m definitely going to save this and have my hubby watch with me.
Great video...I wish my last pregnancy could have been so informed. Fear can come from not having knowledge of what is happening with the stages of labor. Knowledge is power. Great video you contributed for future mom's to be !
Beautiful story. Thank you for sharing. 🥰
Good job mama. You are an inspiration to all and the truth about home birth shines through you.
I’d love to give birth at home but I live in an apt and my walls are very thin so I wouldn’t feel comfortable laboring and giving birth knowing my neighbors could hear me 😅
There are only two birthing centers in my city, and I don’t trust that I could get to the hospital safely if I needed to since my be city traffic is so unpredictable. So I’m going with the midwife @ a hospital route ! Thank you for sharing your experience!
This is so encouraging, thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you so much for sharing this, such a touching experience to watch 😢🥺
Thank you so much for sharing this. I’m due mid-December with our first and I have two doulas and a midwife coming (we thankfully live in an area where homebirth is seen less and less as unfavourable) to our home. I’m so excited!!💚
This is beautiful so inspiring thank you for this upload
Oh my gosh, I had a home birth 6 months ago and this brought back alllllll the feels 🥺 Mine was also nowhere close to being pain free but I was screaming my head off 😅 which I’m sure contributed to tearing pretty badly… I will for sure be telling myself “surrender” over and over next time haha, you handled it so beautifully!!! 💕 thank you for sharing!!
The Donovan footage 😭😭😭 This was absolutely beautiful. So many people are going to be so encouraged by this. 🤎
I don't think I can watch a birthing video without crying. Beautiful. I had midwife, doula, and tub at a birthing center. I ended up going to a hospital because I couldn't pee so crazy...sounds weird. But it was my decision and I had autonomy and decided on a C-section after hours of no progress. The hospital experience was surprisingly very good too. Having a doula to be at my side and husbands side through it all was the best.
Beautiful video thank you for sharing. I found your channel when I was pregnant 5 years ago and I watched your other birth story with Donovan. I had a very long labor of intense contractions my uterus was definitely empathetic watch this!
If you know you know! Hahaha! ❤️🫶🏼
So true about pushing. I haven’t yet been blessed with a child myself, but my best friend is a midwife and in her first year qualified she has had NO women tear! All because she’s started instructing women not to push and to just let their bodies do the work.
Her university education didn’t teach her that, she learned from having a woman faint during labour and watching her body still deliver that baby despite her being unconscious and not pushing. Amazing what we are capable of and so sad that the natural process has been lost to the hospital system. We’re so in the dark about our own bodies these days!
Wooooow! That’s an amazing story- and yes!!! Hopefully lots of women planning to have their babies read this! 🫶🏼🤍🌸
I used to always think abt nurses pressing woman's belly forcefully with woman lying flat speechless to bring baby out of her body, on who presses a cow's, lioness's, dolphin's , dog's belly in wild ???
Who removes a baby out of thwir bodies by pulling out these animal's babies??
Then without pressing on belly, or keeping legs locked in stirrups, and third party doing near some unknown thing (maybe pulling out or catching) near vulva , how come baby or eggs come in outside world in case of other animals or birds???
Then when I saw animals giving birth on animals planet, I understood 'A baby ' comes out on its own because it is pushed by mother's uterine and vaginal contraction relaxation movement which happens by natural hormone influence not by pressing her belly vigoruosly up n down , and baby will simply a small jerk from vaginal muscles and fall out on bed on its own even if nobody 'Pulls it out or touch it or catch it'
You are a true embodiment of courage and nurturing. I hope one day to be blessed enough to have a birth like this and to show up as powerfully and mindfully as you did. Thank you for setting such a beautiful example.
I too had my babies 2 weeks to the day early. Embrace is how I describe what you have to to that pain and the process! Beautiful story
Thank you so very much for sharing your experience. I’m a grandma of 8 grandchildren and had three of my four children at home in 1975, 78 and 81 just like you, trusting my body and my babies . Big hugs for all of you from the Atlantic coast notf. France. I’m so grateful that more young ladies decide to give birth at home.❤😊😂
🥹🫶🏼🤍 This is wonderful- wish I was in France with you!
You think women who birth in hospital don't trust their babies? Would you ever get over yourself. We aren't in the 70s now by the way. It's weird that you ever care how other "young ladies" as you so weirdly call them, give birth..legit none of your business
Ok annother comment because TOMMY. You guys together. My heart was MELTING. 😭🤎
Thank you for sharing your birth! I am due in September with my second baby. My first I had at home too, and I definitely experienced pain, and I didn’t have as much of a controlled birth experience as I wanted. Your video makes me feel even more excited to do it all again, and I will be using the same strategies you used. Surrender!! Thanks again 💕
Thank you for this video! What birthing pool did you use?
This video has touched me so deeply. Thank you for sharing so vulnerably 💕 i cried along with you & your family 😁
Been waiting for this special video! Thanks for sharing! I had my first home birth on July 17th with my 3rd baby! I had a similar experience as I leaned into each contraction and my mantra was, I am not afraid! The most helpful thing was having my birth team coach me with my mantras some times I would call out, “talk to me” and then the flood of mantras and encouragement would ring out. It was beautiful! I conquered so many of my fears this times and empowered is the exact word I would use. I was so chatty afterwards like wow can you believe I just did that!! 😂
I had a midwife. But she didn't make it to my house till my babies head was already out. It was honestly perfect. Nobody talking to me or monitoring me or taking me out of my zone. 👌😆 from the start of my contractions till I had her it was only 4 hours and I think it's cause I was at my house with only my two sisters and husband. And through every contraction I just repeated " relax and release" while taking slow deep breaths. I also did a lot of hypnobirthing and meditation while I was pregnant! My first baby was born in a hospital and I had a very bad experience. My home birth really healed me!
Whaaaaat!!! Oh my gosh I love this so much!!!
@The Mellow Mama thanks! You did great! You were much more quiet than I was while my baby was crowning!
Watching videos like these bring me such longing for that experience. And unfortunately such envy. I watched hours and hours of birth story videos while pregnant. They all looked and seemed so beautiful. Precious, special and emotional just like yours. I wanted that so much.
But it just didn’t pan out that way for me. I’m one of those women who had a major disconnect all through pregnancy. It continued through labor as well, and I can best describe it as an outer body experience. I felt like I wasn’t there. Like I was watching it, and I was stuck in my own head with no control of my emotions. I was so hopeful baby would come, and it would suddenly be this rush of euphoria and love. That didn’t happen either. It took me so many months to bond with my baby. Now she’s 2. And I never take for granted one single moment when we feel connected, bonded, and in love. (Which thankfully is often) because it took us so long to get there. Babies read every emotion their mother omits. My inability to connect with her made her not connect with me. And the cycle continued for months.
When we finally came together, it was such a beautiful thing. Stories like mine can be shameful for mothers to share and are not talked about often. It took me many searches to find blogs and articles of mothers who would talk about their similar experience. I speak of it here to give hope to anyone else it may happen to.
I wanted what you have displayed in this beautiful birth video, yet my experience was so dramatically opposite. I would love to have a second baby to hopefully be able to experience traditional mother infant bonding. But it’s most likely not in my cards. Besides, my story with my daughter was written for us for a reason, and someday hopefully I will be thankful for it.
I would love to have you on my podcast, 🤍
Wow u are incredible!!! Congrats!!!
Hi! I really enjoyed this video -- thank you for sharing such a vulnerable and beautiful birthing experience. I have a question: I understand baby needed some assistance in breathing. How did you provide that assistance? And why did you have to cut the umbilical cord sooner than you hoped? My understanding is that most babies will breathe immediately on their own upon birth, and sometimes not. Regardless, delayed cord clamping enables them to continue receiving oxygen from the placenta (should it still be attached to the uterus). If baby breathes immediately at birth (usually within ten seconds), the umbilical cord is still providing the baby oxygen and nutrients until that blood flow has stopped. Does this describe your experience?
Thank you so much for sharing! You are incredible
It´s very interesting. I´m a guy who doesn´t want children. But my eyes begin a little bit to water and I got a little bit of goosebumps when I see it.
4 days from my due date with my third child! My first two were hospital births but completely natural and good experiences. I’m so excited for my first home birth any day now!
Thank you so much for showing us this. It was beautiful! I am a 69 year old widow. I cried so much. God gives us beautiful gifts from heaven. She is beautiful and your husband was so sweet during all of this. God Bless your family. Wish I could hold her. My kids are grown and I have 11 grandchildren all grown the youngest is 16. I wish you the best. Thank you so much. Love you videos.
I am that person. 64 year old female who chose not to have children, but I love experiencing this miracle with you.
Thank you for sharing Kait! I’m due soon with my second baby girl and I plan on doing a water birth at my hospital with a midwife and doula.
Weird question, but where is your bralette from that you wore in labor?
Most beautiful birth and what a great way to document this! So proud of you!
Just beautiful!
Good job!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing!
I’m preparing for my home birth any day now. Third baby, but first time planning for home. Did you deliver the placenta in the pool as well?
Yes I did! Wishing you such a wonderful experience!!!
Thanks so much! 💗
Thank you so much for sharing this ❤️
🫶🏼🥹🤍
So precious🥺 literal tears I’m so amazed by you and your whole story. You and Tommy are so special and your whole family❤️
Thank you so much for sharing 💓
Kait! This is beautiful. I’m 33.5 weeks along with my second. Please give me all the home birth tips and coping tips! I’m stuck in the scared phase of pain! Can you share all of your mantras you found helpful? ❤
I’ll film something for you this week! There are also so many things I didn’t remember to do that I wish I would have remembered- I’m excited to share. In the meantime I really recommend taking some hypnobirthing tracks seriously! I used Kathryn Clark with Donovan & the Christian Hypnobirthing app this time around but a lot less consistently.
Also just listen to that part of my birth here where I literally say, “I can do this.” to myself- and believe it for yourself as well! You can do this!! You can remain calm, relaxed and open in your upcoming birth.
That was amazing ❤ thank you .
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing
Thank you!! 🫶🏼
Oh Kate! You did that so beautifully. Thank you for sharing it truly makes a difference. I had my first son in a birth center and my second son at home. Both were so incredible and transformative, the common theme was that I was trusted to trust myself and my own body. Good luck to any soon to be mamas you can do this ❤
This makes me so so happy!! A comments section that is truly going to empower so many women. Love for you!
❤that was so wonderful!❤
Thank you for watching!!! 🫶🏼
You look radiating woman, I am so happy for you and your family.
Thank you so much, ❤️🥹
Due May 5th with my first baby and am planning to have a home water birth! Loved this video so much! 😊
You’ve got thisssss! 🫶🏼💘✨
I had my daughter in a free standing birth center. I had a good experience, but I wish I did a home birth and allowed myself to take my time and labor the way I envisioned. I had a pretty easy labor, but it wasn’t fast and as my contractions were close together since 9 am that morning my midwife wanted me to come in. I went into the tub right away. I felt like everyone was waiting on me to do something. So instead of moving around, asking, squatting, letting baby come when the time was right; I let the midwife break my waters. I pushed partially sitting/laying on the bed (not what I wanted). So much happened that was not in my plan, I wish I could get a redo haha
I so relate to this “everyone was waiting on me to do something” feeling! So icky- and definitely a result of something in our childhood honestly, to feel like we are performing or an inconvenience to others, when in LABOR no less. Ugh, I’m so sorry.
But no “do-overs” necessary. Do it again & take control, maybe. But you learned and grew from that experience, and you birthed your baby!!! I’m so proud of you and you should be too. 🥹🫶🏼❤️
Thank you for this.
i cried🥲 So beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing! Saved this video for when I'm going to be expecting one day❤️
Ahh thank you! ❤️
loved this video as someone who is so fascinated with birth and natural birth ♥️ you explained it all so well and made me excited for when i Lord willing will give birth to a future baby :))
I subscribed 15 seconds in... first time watcher. im in
Awwwww hi! 🥹🫶🏼 So happy you’re here!
You look so powerful!!❤
I've had two homebirths and looking forward to my next one in a few weeks. I wasn't mentally prepared enough for #1, but I was in an ideal mental state with my 2nd. It was a quick labor, and I wasn't even sure I was in labor, despite the contraction timer app, until just before my midwife arrived, an hour before baby came. I don't really remember the pain, but I have photos that prove I was in pain, especially with #1. I am already envisioning positions I think I might be comfortable in - for my previous 2 births, I ended up delivering in the same position both were conceived in - so I think there's a trend here for me. As much as I am grateful for and trust my birth team, part of me is hoping to deliver before they arrive this time.
Woooow yes! It’s so interesting how God has us forget the pain, 😂🥲 I am already starting to feel that way about Romee’s birth. I’m so excited for you for number 3!!!
@@themellowmama thank you! Birth #3 was almost identical to #2, so I'm grateful
Off topic question, but what skincare and makeup do you use?! Your skin looks flawless and so healthy!!
I hate answering this because people always assume I’m like creepily trying to sell them stuff, but I have legitimately been an arbonne girl for 4 years, and that’s all I use. 😂 I try very hard to eat all whole real foods and drink lots of water and coconut water- but if you want to try anything let me know, :) I’m happy to help!
you named her Romy. i’m glad that, that name is picking up. my name is Romee, spelt just like that. i’m preparing for a home birth, i love this whole video!!
ROMEEEEE! 🥹 I’ll be thinking of you & praying for you to have your dream birth! You now could name your baby Kait, 😂 but… it’s a whole lot more common than Romee that’s for sure, so I don’t recommend necessarily, hahaha although it is kind of timeless?
We had the same midwife and assistant!! Congrats mama ❤
oh, my heart!!! ❤🥲
Thank you for sharing this with us. I am 29 weeks with a little girl and this is everything I hope for my birth. Unfortunately, I am high risk so it will be in a hospital but I am going to advocate like hell to make sure that I hopefully get the birthing experience that I want and my baby needs. This was really inspirational
High risk is a term they use to scare women into doing what they want. Your body knows what it's doing girl. Don't listen to the fear mongering doctors! 💜💜
If you haven’t watched my previous birth story I recommend it- it was a pain-free hospital birth! BUT**** pay attention to the details in which they were constantly trying to scare me, give me things I had already expressed I didn’t want, the number of people in and out of the room, forcing me onto my back time and time again…
Those details are helpful to know so you can clarify that you will not accept them- and even if they DO happen, you can literally ignore them and do your thing.
I’m so proud of you!!!
35 weeks. Also high risk so also birthing in hospital. Though water birthing would be my dream. First was a c-section due to tension. (I see that now) Second baby was magical. Labored completely alone all night thinking we would go home, but then went in just to checked and I was 8cm. And now all I hope for is another peaceful, not fearfilled birth. Good luck to you!!
Thankyou so much for sharing your experience. You are so so beautiful inside and out. You have such a sweet and kind nature and i loved your video. I am pregnant for the first time and my fiancé and i are preparing for a home birth. Iv had a few people try to talk me out of it and say 'especially because its your first'... im like what difference does it make if its your first or 3rd or 10th?? Would love an opinion. I trust my body and my baby and i really want to go through it at home. THANKYOU!!
ps - i balled at the end. haha your amazing!!
I am definitely that person!
I'm on my fourth pregnancy and I've had a baby at 36, 37, and 41 weeks!
oh my god I could rant for hours about the "privilege" of giving birth to your conditions and the inherent knowing and wisdom of the female body. but still it's exactly that notion that women need to be told what and how and when to do that makes them so tense and anxious and hesitant to do a home birth. and then it become a self fulfilling prophecy. it's just taking from our power and that's so sad.
I also had a homebirth for my second baby here in the UK. Extremely painful but positive experience - so much more comfortable, calm and natural in my own home. Could I ask what your husband was doing with his head down for so long? Was he scared or did he think something was going wrong? Sending love x
I’m so happy to hear that! And yeah- Tommy was probably suffering much more than me and I think it was just easier for him to process that way, 😂
@@themellowmama he could not have been suffering more than you!!
Beautiful story! I have two Girls. The first was born on exactly 41 weeks en the second one day after due date (although the birth started on due date). Both started a few hours after the first time stripping (I don't know what the correct English term for it is). Almost everything you described was extremely accurate for how I've experienced my natural deliveries in the birthing pool. I've loved whatching your video, especially the raw, vulnerable footage🥰
Thank you so much- I was so nervous sharing but now I look at it and think it’s so helpful not to see a beautifully edited, movie-esque presentation of the experience. I’m so grateful for you!
11:23- great advice, my mother in law bless her heart. She was so excited but would ask me every 10 minutes, are the contractions getting stronger, do you think you’re progressing yet. This went on and on. I would recommend only yourself and your husband. It sounds great to make it a family affair until the reality of the situation takes place. Thank you for sharing! ❤
Not me crying at the thought that I have to wait at least 3-6 more weeks before I get to experience this
Why did you opt out of doing hypnobirthing this time around?
I didn’t! I just wasn’t as consistent as I was during my first pregnancy! (I was actually mom-ing and had less down time to relax and settle into my tracks!) Next time I will be adamant about listening twice a day for at least 8 weeks though!
Thank you for this. Your words are the final straw for me. I think I could do this. My heart hopes I can experience this. I was diagnosed with cholestasis with my last pregnancy, and so when we do plan to grow our family once more, I'm not sure if it will be possible.. but God made us to do this, and I think it would be a wonderful experience. I so look forward to having this kind of experience, if it's possible for me.
