You are amazing! I'm so happy for all of you with Daniel's arrival. My last child is named Daniel Patrick but he is an adult now. He was a Marine and is now a Captain with the Police Dept. He has been such a blessing in my life and I wish the same for all of you. Blessings from N. Ga
He’s adorable. I love his name. Daniel is a good example to follow for sure. Congratulations, and get a good rest. I think you are amazing! God bless you and your precious family. Sheri
This is excellent information, I’m currently 4 centimeters dilated and contracting now on my second day but nothing more. Will be trying this with the hopes of having this baby soon 😊 wishing you a speedy recovery.
That’s so exciting congratulations! Labor with my first was 26 hours and my second was three days of intense labor pains until she was finally born, felt like I was walking around with a bowling ball between my legs because her head was so low😂hoping for a fast labor and delivery for you!
What’s great story! Moms to be need to hears stories like yours, but I love that you emphasize that this is your story and that every story is your own. I’m way past my “baby days” and natural childbirth and birthing rooms were still fairly new. I planned a home birth but had some other medical problems so I gave birth at the hospital. While in labor all of the staff were great and because they knew I was to have a home birth they bent a lot of the rules for me and back up doctor was awesome. I gave birth to a big boy weighing in at 11.55, with no pain meds and only 4 hours of labor. Everyone has their own story and those stories can and do change from one baby to the next. Expecting moms try to relax and make your birth story your own!
Yay yay yay! I'm so happy for all of you! I thought about you several times last week and over the weekend thinking that something had to be happening with your delivery! This is the sweetest! Thank you so much for sharing this time of your life with us all! We are so blessed to get to be a part of it!
Congratulations! ❤️ This story was so interesting, I've never heard of the miles circuit before! Also I was laughing when you said you laid down all night so you wouldn't have to wake the midwife...that's some real Midwest politeness right there 😂
My little girl was born in June, my second baby. I arrived to the hospital at 8am, a check at 8.45am showed I was barely a 1cm. I was a little disheartened having had contractions for 24 hours before, but I stood and relaxed through my contractions. At 9.20am I felt the urge to push! My midwife checked me and there was my daughters head 😬 she was born at 9.29am, 44 minutes after being barely a 1cm. Baby was perfect, I went through transition and delivery very easily and with only a little trauma. I watched Micah’s birth story before my daughter was due and couldn’t believe that you had completely unmedicated birth experience. I had epidural for my first baby and couldn’t imagine being unmedicated. Turns out my body just did it’s thing and I held on tight for the ride!! Huge congratulations on your gorgeous baby boy, his name is beautiful and you look so relaxed and happy :)
love it! I keep thinking about how this birth would have looked in a hospital and I'm sure happy you had midwives there that could help you realize it was a position thing. Thank you for sharing!!
Loved hearing your birth story! I had my first baby 3 months ago and delivered at a birth center with a midwife. I love hearing other birth stories that are unique + positive. Thanks for sharing!
Yes! I loved this birth story! I’ve been checking everyday to see when you would post! Congratulations. You look incredible. What a gift new life is! 💙
Ah Lisa what a lovely story. I had a home birth with my last baby and it was the best experience of the 3. You look amazing by the way, I don't know how you do it. Congratulations to both you, Luke and your beautiful family for your gorgeous new addition and thank you so much for sharing. Love, blessings and speedy healing x
So glad everything went well and you both doing so well. Yes you rest momma you got lots of helpers. He looks like such a big baby boy, and so healthy no wonder your bump looked so big
As someone who is hoping to have a large family in God's time I really appreciate hearing birth stories, parenting advice etc. from mothers who already have more children than the average western mom. Thank you for your positive and interesting videos! I have no practical application for this information yet (no kids, not pregnant, but hoping!) but it's still good to know because at some point some of this probably will come in handy :)
Congratulations Lisa and Luke, to your whole family. Sweet name. Glad Daniel's here and you are good❤ Such a doll baby, bless you and your family. Sweet of you to share with us. Stay well, be strengthened and keep patient (easier sad, I know)😊 so thrilled for you all.
So thankful he is here happy and healthy! Congratulations! I completely understand all the games with labor and not knowing exactly when it has "fully begun" and not wanting to wake your midwife! I always feel the same way! I have had 5 homebirths as well and every single one has been different. I am also a Birth Doula and have never heard of the Miles Circuit! I am studying up on it now. Sounds like what I needed to do with my last one 8 months ago. Thanks for teaching me something!
CONGRATULATIONS to the family !!! God bless your handsome new little Prince !!! You look fantastic ! Thank you for sharing your story, sending you a warm hug 😊
Congratulations on the birth of your precious baby boy! So thankful all went well for you & baby. Get some well deserved rest & we see you all in your next video. God Bless you & your family!!!♡
I am happy to hear of your positive home birth. Congratulations!! I wanted a home birth 45 years ago when my first Lamaze baby came, but there were no midwives available. The best I could do then was a Lamaze birth positive physician in the hospital with no or minimal medication. And in 1973 in SW Michigan even that was a rarity. I wish I had known about the Miles Circuit during my birthing years. My son was born face up (transverse?) and that is what caused my long labor and difficult birth. I ended up having quite an episiotomy but my 8 lb 2 oz. son with a large head was born without medication - my primary goal. And, he was a month overdue!! I had no idea about having to stay in bed so long. I loved your story, thank you for sharing.
Congrats! I love your relaxed story telling here and all your videos. It's an amazing ability to have so much experience to compare. It just goes to show how every birth is different, glad you were able to work through the new challenge.
This is sooo fantastic!! Love that even tho you may have experience and expectations of birth, a fantastic midwife can help when things dont go as planned - and in the moment, you were able to accept that and take her direction (which can be sooo difficult!). Congratulations and all the best for a speedy recovery! If you find while you are healing that 'things' dont feel quite right down 'there' or inside, especially after having multiple children, I found that a pelvic health physiotherapist was able to help. After my third i realized i had prolapsed my bladder and uterus a bit and needed to learn some exercises (along with manual therapy from her) to help move things back where they should be. Hopefully with the bed rest and your lifestyle, it wont be a thing for you but I had to find out the hard way and had never heard of it before! All the best momma! ❤️❤️❤️
Glad everything went well for you . My 5th was similar to yours I had my labor come and go for 2 weeks until at my 40 weeks I read online to sit on the toilet while contracting Facing the back of the toilet to rest the top half of the body. ( Simply placed a pillow on the back of the toilet and took a nap) and that night baby came like yours so quick within an hour I hardly made it to hospital as soon as I got there I pushed the baby right out no one was ready for such a quick labor, but my baby was sure ready to be out.
He's adorable. There is something so unique and special of holding tiny newborns. It goes so quickly though. It's a great opportunity to sock up the moment as you rest, and rest you must. I should talk! I'm so restless, so the idea of being in bed would make me climb the wall. lol. Anyhow, maybe in the future you can give us a tutorial on making a simple baby boy romper? Many blessing and congratulations!
Oh my goodness he’s so cute!!! 😍😍😍😍 Congratulations!! Thanks for introducing him to us. And thanks for sharing your birth story. I’m considering becoming trained as a birth doula so this kind of thing is incredibly fascinating to me.
I’m glad it all worked out in the end! All of my labors are long and drawn out like that. They usually last 24 hours. With my last I was stuck at a 7-8 for 6 hours until they broke my water and then he was born quickly. I’ve never heard of the miles circuit before so maybe that would have helped! Thanks for sharing.
My 4 home births were all successful based on the denial method. "I'm not really in labor" makes the labor go by so quickly.
Tessa Meyers definitely trying this method lol
Haha this was just me. It definitely made it fly by until I was like wait I have to push
This is the first option I am now looking into lol (28 wks).
I just had one home birth and it was extremely quick for the same reason 😂😂😂
You are amazing! I'm so happy for all of you with Daniel's arrival. My last child is named Daniel Patrick but he is an adult now. He was a Marine and is now a Captain with the Police Dept. He has been such a blessing in my life and I wish the same for all of you. Blessings from N. Ga

Natural childbirth was never new.
I’m so glad you both are doing great!! Never heard of the circle method either so learning with you! Congratulations on your new son!
Yay yay yay! I'm so happy for all of you! I thought about you several times last week and over the weekend thinking that something had to be happening with your delivery!
This is the sweetest! Thank you so much for sharing this time of your life with us all! We are so blessed to get to be a part of it!

I agree 100% Lisa is so thoughtful & pure class!! Congratulations Lisa! Daniel is BEAUTIFUL!! ❤️
What a beautiful positive homebirth story. So glad he is here and everything went well! Congratulations!
The miracle of life💕 many blessings to you and your family Lisa💕

that is wild! i am glad that she was born happy & healthy. & thank you!
Such an wonderful ”everyday” miracle! Congratulations on your beautiful boy!
love it! I keep thinking about how this birth would have looked in a hospital and I'm sure happy you had midwives there that could help you realize it was a position thing. Thank you for sharing!!
Well in a hospital they also might have realized it's a position thing, but their solution would be to strongly recommend a c-section.
Congratulations Daniel. Love how you were so positive and so calm.
Congratulations!! Thank you for taking the time to tell the story and introduce him so fast!
Congratulations Lisa!!! I'm so happy for you! May God bless you and your whole family!
Loved hearing your birth story! I had my first baby 3 months ago and delivered at a birth center with a midwife. I love hearing other birth stories that are unique + positive. Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful! I had never heard of that particular technique to encourage proper positioning.
Awww what a great birth Lisa. Glad it all turned out safe for both. He’s beautiful 🥰
