I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant and all I want is a natural, peaceful delivery like this. Once her baby came out I immediately cried. Such a beautiful moment. I love the way she looks at her husband and includes him in it. And telling her baby “you did such a good job buddy.” Because little baby also has to endure a lot.
Thank you for sharing this incredibly beautiful and personal moment.
I remember being where you are at so well! Watching birth vlogs and getting excited. Wishing you the most empowering and peaceful birth!
@@YourFriendAyana Thank you so much! ❤️
I'm 34 weeks. Let me know when you get your baby in your hands. I'm so so so afraid 😢
@@HappyLife...598 I was also afraid of giving birth to my 3rd natural birth baby.. but I prayed and God gave me strength and peace. May God fill your heart with peace! Blessings on your delivery!
@@veronikasozonov7225 thank you so much 🥰 .now I'm 38 weeks and 1 day. My labour used to be in 39 weeks .I'm a little bit ill by having flu and anemia
I used your techniques to have my first baby last year, at age 44. His birth was one of the most incredible, rewarding experiences of my life! This video made me tear up to remember that precious day ❤
Aww I had my first at 42 ❤❤
So encouraging! I’m 41 trying to have my first 🙏🏽 Thank you for sharing ❤
This is super inspiring and encouraging
I am having my LAST baby at 43 in about 2 months, baby #11 I still cry with every birth I watch...
I said the same things to my baby boy as I freebirthed him 💙 I think there is something about the verbal welcoming that told baby come out now 😅 because he came right after
I’m sure every mama can relate, but every time I watch a birth story I cry. It’s such a beautiful, deeply connective experience and so extremely spiritual. I had my first baby at a private birth center this past summer, it was deeply healing and strengthening to me as a person. This was so beautiful to watch, reminded me of my own birth because I moved the entire time-up until she was out!
Every time!! 🥹
Currently 41+1 waiting on my third baby’s arrival and anticipating what my first unmedicated birth will be like. This made me cry. You handled all of that with such strength and composure! Congratulations
Congrats mama! Hope you have a smooth delivery. 💕
This is my first baby and Im 41 weeks feeling anxious he is overdue. Are you just gonna wait til he comes or get induced? Im torn
@@katjavestergaard489if she isn’t here by 42 weeks then I will get induced but until then we are going to wait! If you have no complications in your pregnancy then it’s totally normal and healthy to go to 42 weeks! I know it’s tough though. Hang in there!
@@sydneystarkweather5871 makes sense! Okay thanks. Im getting a NST and ultrasound tomorrow at 41 weeks to see how baby is before making a decision :)
I’m 41+1 right now too! Having sporadic contractions all evening this is my 5th
WOW. not only is this such a beautiful birth experience that truly shows our capabilities as women, but it’s shot so well it deserves to be on a big screen. This was gorgeous, well done mama, and congratulations!
Having given birth to our 7th last Thursday and it all being so fresh in my mind I did get a bit teary eyed watching this. I could feel it in a real way. Congratulations!🎉
That's awesome! You are one powerful lady ❤
Hey I have 7 too! My youngest is 2 next month, and it feels like yesterday! Congrats 🎉❤
That bearing down, fetal ejection reflex phase gets me everytime!!! I never fail to cry when i watch births. 28 weeks with our second and praying for a peaceful delivery this time after a sub par hospital experience previously.
I recently had my first baby at 39 weeks and a couple days. I listened to your hypnobirthing playlist and reminded myself of the breathing exercises. I didn’t realize how powerful our body-mind connection is until active labor/birth. I am so grateful to you for our positive birth experience. It truly is a blessing. This video is beautiful ❤
Wait is this podcast for free?
Bridget! Congrats!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
I just want you to know that I tried your method while giving birth to my first child a couple months ago- and I only pushed 6x before my sweet baby came. It was the most beautiful and smooth experience I could ever have imagined! Thank you for your positive outlook and sharing with all of us that it can be a beautiful thing despite how so many people try to make us afraid to do such a natural thing we were MADE for!
This is so beautiful. I’m having my first in July and I am so excited. Positive birth representation is so needed right now
Congrats! My first baby’s bday is July 27 ♥️
Congratulations!! 🥰
The last time you posted a birth video, I wasn't even pregnant, and used it as inspiration.
This time, I watch it holding my baby in my arms that I gave birth to in my own home water birth.
Thank you. 💕
I found you while I was pregnant with my first, and your breathing technique videos were one of the only things that stuck in my head during all of my unmedicated birth research.
Your words definitely got me through both of my unmedicated births, and it's so awesome to watch you in action. You're a birthing queen Mama! ❤
Congratulations!! I just had my second baby last week. I had an incredible home birth after a traumatic hospital birth with my first 3 years ago. I’ve watched a lot of your videos over the years and I am a huge believer in the body’s ability to give birth naturally without too many interventions, especially now!!!
I listened to your positive birth affirmations on repeat through my entire labor & delivery last month. You’re amazing!
I am crying like a baby watching this. Currently pregnant with my first and my goal is to have a natural home birth. Babe, you are an AMAZING woman. God bless!
I’m currently 34 weeks ❤ I was crying the whole time watching this! What a beautiful birth ❤️❤️ it just shows how strong and powerful we truly are welcoming life into this world 💕
This made me think back on the birth of my first baby and I couldn't help but cry my eyes out.
Your videos helped me so much through my first pregnancy and I am rewatching them now that i am pregnant with my second. You released the video of your second daughter's birth a couple of months before I gave birth to my first child, and now this one is released just a few months before I'll give birth to my second. I am having a home birth this time and I pray it will be as peaceful as what you've shown us here!
I am so thankful for your content, Bridget! Praise God for the birth of your healthy baby boy 🤍
Been looking forward to seeing this, Bridget! Congratulations! I gave birth for the first time three months ago, and still, not a day goes by that I do not reflect in wonder over the experience. Your video brought back memories of how powerful, intense, and beautifully transformative it all was. I had gone my entire pregnancy doubting my body’s ability to birth to the point of fretting no matter how many of your videos I watched or how much mental preparation or I did. If I could go back to that time now, I would tell myself, “listen to Bridget on the breathing because you will be amazed at how much it helps, and there is no reason to fear because you will be in awe of what you will be able to do when the time comes.” Thank you so so much for helping empower so many women like myself to recognize and embrace our sacred ability to bring life into the world! May God bless you and your beautiful family!
I gave birth at home two months ago. The experience was something else I will never ever forget. The waves. To keep my mind focused on something else to get thru it I would knock a consistent beat on the floor, dresser, wall, wherever I was. Helped. But what pulled me thru was your mindful meditations to keep the thoughts positive. What you say bleeds truth and pulls you to do what you have to do for your baby. Thank you a hundred times over and over. Right before I transitioned from bed to birth tub for last time my husband played ur videos and I didn’t notice other than myself repeating what you would say.
Such a beautiful birth video! I'm almost 38 weeks pregnant with my second baby and we are planning my second natural birth experience for this one as well! I went through the entire Built to Birth course during my first pregnancy and I know that's what prepared me so well for my birth last time, so we just went through it again. So thankful for other Mama's sharing their own story!!
I labored at home with my first baby until the near bitter end. 42 weeks, 1 day. 8.5 hour labor, 30 min pushing! I waited so long to go to the hospital, I was crowning in the lobby! And with my first baby no less!! I wish I could say my labor was as smooth as yours but I think I managed pretty well. Back labor is no joke!!!
I really can't thank you enough, Bridget. Your videos helped me feel confident to wait it out so long and to even ask my doctor for more time to allow natural labor. All the exercises and believing in my doula's expertise is what brought my little girl happily into this world. 🥰
So beautiful! I just had my third baby as well, born at 1:01 am. A boy after two girls! I found you during my second pregnancy which helped me get through my long and difficult labor. I took Built to Birth during my third pregnancy and my labor and birth was amazing (as was my pregnancy!) and this has been my best healing journey of the three. Thank you so much, Bridget!!! May God bless you and your family.
Wow. Whoever shot this video did a great job! Oh and also: congratulations on your little miracle. You did awesome mommy. ❤ Enjoy every second with your little one.
I was thinking the same thing! And the editing is stunning also 😱
😭😭😭😭 I cried. Such a mixture of emotions as I prepare for my baby-gratitude, excitement, a little nervous too, even though I’ve done this before. I’m 40weeks Today, my 5th baby, 5th natural birth 3rd home birth. You birthed so beautifully Bridget. May you and your family enjoy every moment with your baby boy. Thank you for sharing this with us. ❤❤❤
I had an unmedicated labor 4 months ago and I felt every contraction with you! Its amazing what the body can do. Congrats momma❤
Congratulations Bridget! I discovered your channel this year, my 3rd and final pregnancy. I am so grateful for all of your helpful videos on how to prepare for birth, stretches to help during pregnancy, and breathing techniques during labour.
I was blessed to have a 3rd home birth a few weeks ago. It was peaceful, calm and magical. Our older kids were present and helped throughout labour by sending me positive energy, holding my hands and breathing with me through contractions, and reminding me of the birth affirmations posted around the house. It was an experience our whole family will remember for a lifetime.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful video and congratulations on the newest addition to your family!! Best of luck as you transition to life with 3 kids :)
Bridget, wow ❤ I’m overwhelmed with emotions watching you bring your son into this world. I couldn’t be happier for you.
I birthed my daughter naturally 4 months ago and took so much advice from watching your videos (and still do!).
Thank you for sharing so many valuable lessons with us and such a beautiful birth. So much love to you and your family xo
I’m hysterically crying. Thank you for sharing. Congratulations 🥹🫶🏻
Congratulations, Bridget! We love your course. I gave birth to our first last year, and it was so empowering and peaceful. She was in a hurry and from first contraction to birth it was 1hr 48 minutes! Not once did I question myself, or what I was doing in harmony with my daughter. It was incredible, so intense, painful, but POWERFUL. I will always cherish that experience.
Holy mama!! What an insanely fast labor! 🤯 Your little one was ready to come into the world. Hehe!
@@racothran she was!!! Zero practice contraction or contraction before full blown active labor. It was like running a marathon in less than 2 hours 😅
This might be a stupid question lol, but how are you “suppose” to push? I’ve seen some videos saying not to push, and some videos saying you just “breathe” through it?! I am so confused lol.
@amberjankoviak From my experience (I had natural birth with no pain meds) when it was time to push, my body would tell me on its own. By push, I mean, I would follow the contraction. I never pushed/engaged the pelvic floor unless I felt a contraction helping me move the baby. It was a waste of time to try otherwise! Nothing would happen!
@@racothran that actually explains it a little better! Thank you so much!
I’m watching this as I nurse my 10 week old.
I had a dream of a natural birth. Labored mostly at home and pushed my baby girl into this world on my knees without much help at the hospital. The drs trusted me and stood watch incase I needed help, which I inevitably didn’t.
Your videos helped me SO much. She is my last baby but because of the encouragement you unknowingly gave me, and the strength God gave me I will always look back on how wonderful of a labor and birth I had with my daughter.
Thank you for your videos, insight, and knowledge. You are a blessing from God. ❤
As someone who never got to experience this, this brought tears to my eyes. You’re a warrior and I wish I could’ve experienced childbirth. I followed you forever and prepared myself in every way possible to only have two breech babies. But I’m thankful everyday to be a mom. Thank you for sharing your story ❤️ congrats on the baby boy
I’m due in 3 months and watching this just made me cry thinking of how our life is a miracle. Thank you for teaching and inspiring us soon to be moms. God bless your lovely family.
Damn you are a warrior. You helped me so much through my first birthing experience 3 years ago. I felt prepared and at peace and it was wonderful. I’m so glad to see you and your family receiving an abundance of blessings.
I’m in awe, not only by your will and strength, but by how cinematic this is. Breathtaking. How in the world was this captured and put together so beautifully. Congratulations to you and your family❤️
Congratulations, Bridget! So happy to see that all the love that you pour into preparing families for their beautiful birth story has come back to you in full ❤ God’s blessing to you and your family!
Congratulations!! My son is two weeks old and I listened to your hypnobirthing audios during birth and that helped me tremendously in achieving my natural unmedicated birth at the hospital. Congratulations. Enjoy the new born bliss ❤️
Congratulations you did wonderful! I had my first three babies at a hospital typical hospital births. And I knew I did not want to have any more at a hospital. So with my fourth baby, I started looking into midwives and found your videos and had my last three children at a midwife. Thank you for all the information you put on your channel.
Congrats mama!!! You helped me prepare for my first birth - it didn’t go as planned but I was my own best advocate. Now I’m preparing for my second birth in January, praying for it to be unmedicated ❤️
I’m also having my second birth in January! My first unmedicated ❤.
Beautiful. I still regret my midwife turned out to be more medically minded and would not let me in the tub claiming my baby was too big. Well he was almost 10 pounds but it was her off label (cytotek) inducement drug that caused both of us to have serious complications. ( placenta acreta for me and his lungs.)
Teared up, from joy, within the first few seconds of the video. I have been following your content for quite a while and purchased your course that has changed my entire perspective around birth and helped me in my birth. As soon as I heard about your pregnancy, I was excited to hear your journey of welcoming your baby into the world. Thank you for sharing your story and in general, for your wisdom you share to the world. Congratulations ❤
Congratulations Bridget! 🎊🎉Thank you for sharing your birth story with us (yet again)! 💖 You are empowering us mamas so THANK YOU!!! 👏 And many blessings to you and your family!!!✨
Your videos helped me with my first baby and now I’m 39 weeks 4 days waiting on my little boy & this video just came up on my timeline! Congrats mama!🎉
I gave birth to my third back in May. All of mine have been in hospital but without any pain meds. I finally was able to use some of your techniques this third go and I didn't tear at all! I was amazed after tearing both times previously 2nd degree. Congratulations on your third beautiful birth! Thank you for all you do to help empower us mamas! ❤
Cried happy tears watching this. You helped me tremendously 3 years ago to trust my body to birth my first baby unmediated... during the pandemic when there were no birthing classes. Now I'm 27 weeks with my second child and watching this makes me excited. Thank you so much for your content, support and wisdom.
Unmedicated*
First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Secondly, your husband is the first guy I have seen that has made me want to get married and have my husband there for the support. James did EVERYTHING just right. Supported you where you needed him to. That man is AMAZING! Great job James!!!
Thank you a million times over for sharing! Your videos helped me soooo much my first pregnancy and to be pregnant my second time at the same time as you has been such a joy. Im so grateful to be able to watch your birth story again especially as I'm 39 weeks pregnant right now. I listen to your affirmations everyday and Im so excited to meet my baby soon! Congratulations to you and your family! You did it mama!
This made me so emotional. I cannot stop crying. Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience and congratulations on your healthy baby boy.
I am approaching 38 weeks with my second baby and your videos helped me with my first immensely. I have not been as thorough this time around, but this just reminded me of how powerful the body is and how labor does not have to be scary.
I am hoping all goes well for baby and I. I also do not know the gender so I’m very excited to meet them very soon 🤍
WOW! So amazing to watch you give birth at home. You basically pushed him out by yourself with minimal coaching! I’m astounded by the process, and how well you handled labor. Congratulations to you and your family. ♥️ I also love your labor/birth affirmation videos. I used them while in labor with my first baby (born June 2023) It helped a lot.
Yay! Congratulations! My little one is 3 months old and we had a beautiful home & water birth. Your videos and my birth team/husband were SO helpful in helping me feel confident and empowered throughout my first pregnancy and labor
Watched your videos before and during my pregnancy. Had the BEST pregnancy and labor. Thank you so much for all that you do ❤
Strong baby for a strong mama.... currently 37 weeks and it gives me strength when i watch this... thanks Bridget.
Congratulations, Bridget, and God bless you and your family. Your channel helped me a lot with my pregnancy,delivery, and postpartum. I was able to deliver my first child 2 months ago, in a hospital, and naturally. Thanks. You are with me and my little girl every day. When I am burping her, I say, "This is the way Aunt Bridget taught us. " :)
Congratulations Bridget! Loved this positive birth video, made me all teary eyed ❤ I just had my second baby three months ago, my first water birth at the hospital and it was beautiful! Your videos have been so helpful in preparing me for labor for both my kiddos. Congratulations again to you and your beautiful family ❤
Definitely cried! 25 weeks with my first and this is exactly the peaceful, serene birth experience at home I’m going for ❤ Probably going to hang those Christmas lights too!! Yall do such a fabulous job with your videos!!
I just had a home birth last month, what an incredible experience, I'm so happy for you! This brought a tear to my eyes!
Your channel brings so much inspiration, positivity and strength to women. Your family is beautiful 💙
Congratulations Bridget! Currently following your course and I feel so empowered already. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Congratulations! Bridget, you have helped so many women, including me, have the tools for a positive birthing experience! Thank you for all you do!
This was so so beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us Bridget! I know your channel has blessed so many of us.
I was watching your videos to prep for my 2nd baby. I did the breathing techniques you suggested and ended up not pushing at all, baby just came out so smoothly an i ended up with no vaginal tears! it allowed me to have the smoothest recovery! thank you so much for sharing your passion, love, and wisdom!!! 🥰🙏🏽💐💜 and Congratulations to your beautiful fmaily!!!
Congratulations Bridget! Im 39 weeks and waiting for my first to arrive. You are such an inspiration! This made me emotional! So beautiful.
@hope88love how are you? I am 39 weeks too
Sobbing the entire time ! So proud of you ! Congratulations 🥲🥹🫶🏽
God bless you and your beautiful family! How grateful I am for videos like these. Thank you for being so vulnerable with us. I watched your other video so often as I prepared for my first baby. What a beautiful reminder of the dance that happens with momma and baby when we allow it to ❤ He is beautiful. I hope you are feeling good, mama. Great job!!!
Thank you so much for all that you do including sharing this - it's not just beneficial to me but this is going to be such a great visual for my husband to understand how peaceful labor and birth can be, how different positions can be to helpful, and how unrestricted the whole process can be! This is truly invaluable to me and I'm so proud of you as a mama too!
You are just so incredible. I’m in tears over here. Congratulations! You and your husband have three beautiful children. Wishing you all have the most wonderful Christmas. ❤
Amazing, amazing video. Way to go Bridget!! The intensity in your voice when the baby's head was coming brought all my natural births home to me like they were yesterday. The sound like how are you ever going to survive this moment and then the indescribable relief and joy when the whole baby just slips into your arms. Your husband looks like a great birth coach! My husband is incredible during labor, and when I saw this I was reminded of how I love it just being me and him in those vulnerable moments until the midwife arrives when the baby is more imminent, Hoping to catch my 4th in the spring-- I have always planned to but always had too focus too much to be able to manage it myself.
This was so beautiful. I cried watching you go thpught this pain. Even after almost 2 years since having a baby I still remember the feeling of being in labor and giving birth. Thank you for sharing with us.
I am a first time mommy and really wished for a natural birth but not knowing the unknown really scared me. This is so beautiful. I also cried watching this. Congratulations to you and your beautiful family ❤
Well that made me cry. Bridget, thank you for sharing your powerful birth with us. I loved how you didnt put music over when you pushed to normalize the noises of birth.
I’m a fellow doula and I thank you for your videos, resources and for being a powerhouse in the birth community. I utilize your content a lot with my mamas.
Have the best time in baby bliss.
18 weeks tomorrow and watching this had me in tears. You are so strong and incredible. 💙 congratulations on your baby boy 😭
I gave birth to my first child last week. This video made me so emotional, it’s like seeing myself from another perspective, thank you ❤
What a beautiful third birth story! I loved watching this especially now that I just gave birth (on 11/29) to our second daughter at home and in the water as well! I had a very long labor for my first daughter that ended with me transferring from a birthing center to the hospital where I got received Pitocin and an epidural. So, having a successful home birth was such a dream come true for me! I can’t even begin tell you how many of your videos I watched on a daily basis leading up to our home birth. I really implemented so much of what I learned from your content. Between videos like yours and an incredible birthing team, I truly felt so much more mentally prepared going into this birth than I did for my first. Thank you so much for all you do to help empower moms like me to have a natural birth at home! Also you have such a beautiful family! Congrats!!
This brought a tear to my eye. So beautiful! What a gift motherhood is. Congratulations mama ❤
Such an AMAZING video. Thank you for that! Felt emotional at the end. God bless your family!
This is incredible!! You handled this so easily and with such patience and strength. I am so happy for your beautiful family! You are a rockstar👏🏼🤍
Congrats! My wife and I are expecting any day now. We’ve been using your Built to Birth course. Can’t wait!
Congratulations! 🎉 I have my baby boy back in 2021, you have not idea how much watching your videos help me during my pregnancy and delivery. I send you a big hug ❤ thank you for all the knowledge you share with moms. Many Blessings for you and your family!
Crying 😭. Brings up my home birth, labored for over 40 hours to end up at the hospital via Csection. Unhealed emotions still coming up. 5mo PP congrats Bridget. You make it look so easy to deal thru the pain, strong woman!
I had a similar story. Attempted home birth for four days before going to hospital. I was dilated to 8cm, but my son wouldn’t descend all the way so we wound up in emergency for c-section. Planning to VBAC at home with our next baby someday.
I wish you all the luck with your family and recovery. I’m 9+ months postpartum and it has been tough, but the mom community, home birthing, VBAC and all have been so helpful. If you haven’t seen them, the VBAC link is also a great resource and has amazing stories that are super healing.
Anyways, apologies for the rambling. 😂 best to you 🙏❤️
I'm not even pregnant anymore (had my baby a year ago), but your positive birth videos helped me so much. Such a sweet video! Congrats on your growing family!
This was so beautiful to watch. Thank you for sharing. Currently 25 weeks and will also be having a home birth and this brought me to tears. So inspiring 🙏🏼🦋
Wonderfully done Bridget, amazing!! Congratulations 😍
Team home birth! I am a German midwife and my first was born in a birth centre and my second was born at home as well, and I would never ever give birth in a hospital for so many reasons! It is so empowering, self determined, calm and gentle to give birth in a beautiful and known location and to be able to do what you want to do, instead of being told how to position or being given medication that you don't want. I will always support births outside of the hospital and am looking forward to one day hopefully being a home birth midwife as well. ♥ but at the moment I am a SAHM with my 3 year old and my 1 year old, because they need me more than anything and I want to give them the best childhood ♥
Congratulations! Tears of joy for you guys. ❤ I’ve watched your videos through two of my pregnancies.
I watched this video at 11 pm on 12/21/23 and had my baby a few hours later completely unmedicated - although at a hospital. I truly think this video got me into the right mindset … ❤️
I had to be induced due to preclamsia and ended up having 3rd degree tearing in the end. I've been struggling mentally with recovery, and seeing your story helps me think that maybe next time will be better. I know that if I didn't go to the hospital I knew I would have a chance of seizures. My baby boy was born healthy, so it's more than I could have asked. Thank you for the advice. I was able to take from your previous videos and use what I could to help manage the pain.
This was so beautiful 🥲🥰im currently 33 weeks pregnant ive been watching you all along! Congratulations 🤗
So beautiful, Bridget! Thank you for sharing such a special moment with us. Congratulations!
I had my second baby, and second unmedicated birth, 7 weeks ago. Went from less than 3cm to 10cm in under 10 minutes. It was INTENSE. I used both your videos about breathing. Really excellent. Thank you for all you do and hope yourself and baby are well
thank you for sharing this, and everything else you've with us. I listened to one of your guided meditation moments before my water broke in July. I ended up having a 6-hour labor, natural hospital delivery, and it was better than I could've envisioned.
Crying!!! 😭 so happy for you! I used your active labor meditation on the way to the hospital and as I was getting checked in. Helped me stay sooo calm and guided me to the best first birth. I can’t wait to have my next one at home
Amazing thank you for sharing. I had my baby six weeks ago and I watched your previous birth vlog over and over. I took your birth course and I had a natural unmedicated birth. I feel so strong and capable!
My baby is around the corner, my first and this gave me inspiration and confidence in myself that I can do this and how possible it is unmedicated.
Thank you for sharing this vulnerable and beautiful experience with us! Truly inspiring. Congratulations!!
I found your videos when I was pregnant with my first, and will be expecting my 2nd in 3 months +/-.
What an incredibly empowering and beautiful birth video! Congratulations to you and your family! ❤
Made me tear up. This video shows the beauty and serenity of birth. Thanks Bridget ❤
Congrats, Mama! You are one power house of a Mama!! Baby boy is beautiful and so is your family!! ❤
Literally in tears 😭 Godwillingly I'll have my 4th in June and I love watching videos like this ❤
I listened to your videos and had the most amazing empowering birth. I can’t wait to do it again! Thank you for sharing and congratulations 🩵
Congratulations. Currently 36 weeks pregnant. Can't wait to meet our little baby boy.
Watching this was so empowering. ❤
This was so beautiful. It perfectly captures the absolute strength of the feminine body and beauty of a mother. Brought me right back to the birth of my second. Even to some parts of the birth that I had forgotten. I was breathing with you through the transition, and cried when you held him in your arms. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful birth.
I cried the whole way through the video. So much reverence for such a beautiful process. I cant wait to be able to experience this again and again. Thank you for sharing and congratulations!
Hi Bridget, I just wanted to say thank you for your videos which really helped me during my labour last week. The breathing exercises you teach in your videos really helped me, I feel like I would have panicked without them. I left it too late to purchase your course but wanted to show my appreciation in some small way. Thanks again, Amanda xx
