The honesty and vulnerability in this Katherine is so refreshing ♥️ I feel like it would have been easy to hide a "non-magical" birth center experience but I appreciate how you are raw and share that it wasn't the peaceful magical experience that many share about. You are truly amazing - praise God for the health of both you and baby Asa.
i love “Good Plans”, the Lord sent me that song a few months back when and it was such a blessing! Congratulations on your new addition to your beautiful family!!
It's so helpful to hear your experience! With my son's birth last year, I had a lot of similarities to what you described with yours - although I did end up with an epidural (and pushed for 7 hours). I'm not sure whether I'd be ok with "hoping for" unmedicated next time, and it's so helpful to hear your perspective after hearing so many glory stories about unmedicated births. So glad it turned out well for you! Blessings on you and little Asa 🙏
So proud of you momma! You did an amazing job sustaining Asa through pregnancy & birth 🩵 Though you were discouraged at times you followed through with what was needed for a beautiful, successful, & safe birth. You did it! Please be kind with yourself as you continue to process Asa’s entrance earth side. Sending you healing, light, energy, & love 🩵
oh man i'm 32 weeks pregnant (and had my first baby last may) and girl I could just feel the contraction pain as your were describing it. I went into my previous birth wanting to be unmediated and because I was being induced they were giving me Pitocin and the pain was soo bad and I remember hearing the nurse say they were going to up the amount of Pitocin and that's when i decided to have the epidural! I ended up pushing for 4 hours even though I was at a 10. That was traumatic for me so I pray to have a similar story to yours during the birth of this baby i'm so close to having! Thank you for sharing your story! I relate so much!
I’m so sorry Haley!! It is soo hard when that ends up happening!! I remember from the twins birth how tough it can be. I pray you have an amazing and healing birth experience this time around! 🙏💕🙌
i'm almost 22, but i've been following you guys since i was 14. it's crazy to think how much i grew (and learned so much from you) and you guys too! idk anything about these kids things you guys talk about now but i watch the entire video, always, and it's because i wanna keep growing with you!! thanks for sharing kath ❤❤ love from brazil!!
@@KatherineCimorelli forever and always, the first concert i ever attended was yours and it was one of the most magical moments of my life. your words always helped me and supported me when i had no support. i really believe i'm emotionally stronger today bc of what i learned from you. i'll never be able to thank you enough 🤍 i've never had a boyfriend, never even thought about having children, but i know these videos and your experiences will help me once it's my time.
Okay I am a 28 years old women from germany, no kids, not planning on having some but I cried my fucking eyes out listening to you. I literally felt being with you in this place and just by listening it was overwhelming. It took me to another world, you are so strong, so miraculous and our bodies are so intelligent. If I'll ever get children ill keep in mind listen to your fucking intuition. Thank you for sharing your experience. I love your baby's name it's beautiful ❤
Thank you for sharing! I went through a very similar experience with the birth of my son, and it’s so validating to hear someone going through something similar. Mine was also unmedicated, which was honestly the only part that was planned. From my water breaking at 6:00pm to his birth at 1:20am with agonizing uncontrollable back labor, it definitely felt traumatic to me too. I also had high blood pressure, which prevented me from using the birth center I had planned on. I also had to be hooked up to monitors that I hadn’t planned because of my GBS+ and how fast everything went. Being my first child, I was fully expecting a long labor, and I learned that often speedster labors are more painful since you’re combining 12+ hours of labor into such a short time frame (7 hrs in my case). The back pain and the feeling of being unable to control my body is what scares me the most about giving birth again.
You're story is so similar to mine! Deffinetly don't feel alone with the experience it takes ages to process. I watched so many videos like you and felt the same way about the honesty in the dark parts of the experience. Its beautiful to look back on but in the moment its like a nightmare. Have a 3 yr and 2 yr old. Both very different experience but still terrify me a little haha. Lots of love you smashed it well done x
Thank you for sharing ❤. I had a medicated labour with my first, and unmedicated with my second. Both were really positive experiences but at the very end of my unmedicated birth things temporarily took a scary turn and I remember the same fear you described. I still hold onto that fear, 5 months away from having my 3rd baby, and I think planning to have a medicated birth helps calm that fear a bit for me. I love that we have options now, and can make these decisions without shame or guilt. ❤
We were a week apart throughout our pregnancies and I ended up having my son the day after you on April Fools! Lol was praying for an Easter baby but got an April fools baby😂 congratulations on your sweet boy!!❤️
I had a homebirth and although it was a magical experience from me I wouldn’t say it was necessarily this peaceful and serene experience. It was intense but it was the most magical day! ✨ congrats
Congratulations on your sweet baby boy Asa! I have 3 singletons. I am an identical twin! All of my babies were born all natural with no meds. My youngest is now 25. It was very hard and hurt a lot, but I wouldn't trade it! Also, my water only broke with my last, and it gushed out for over an hour, lol, and I still didn't have any contractions not until almost 2 hours after it broke.
No not really! And I did the thing you’re not supposed to do- I pushed him out really fast. The one thing I will say is going unmedicated I could listen to my body really easily! So maybe that was part of it..
I know that you're not labeling this experience as good or bad, but this birth story was so encouraging for me to hear! I don't know if you remember the comment I left you last year, but I'm a pre-E/HELLP syndrome survivor, and I'm so happy to hear that your second experience was different in that respect.
Hey! Yes I do remember you sharing that! Thank you so much for your comment. That is such a good perspective and I agree- it’s definitely a big deal (in a good way) to not have preeclampsia again. I am so sorry for what you experienced. It’s truly so scary. But yes I am so thankful to not have had complications this time!
@@KatherineCimorelli my second was healing AND traumatic... I got to hold him right away when I didn't get to hold my daughter right away... but... my epidural failed and I FELT my c section... swore to God I was dying. FELT her cutting me open. It was so scary.
@@KatherineCimorelli he had caput so bad from me pushing so hard. My husband took a picture of him being taken out and his head shape was crazy from my pushing. You could see how HARD I tried.
Hello Katherine, i pray you get a chance to read this message. On August 1st 2024 I booked a nail appointment for 5:15 that day. But when i got up that morning i felt very heavy and burdened. So i went on my knees and started to pray and i got up out of my bed and went on the floor and continue to pray and cry out to God. After that i got up and really wanted my nail appointment to be pushed up to 1-2 pm but she never answered me so i had to go for 5:15 when i got there i got my nail done and left. As i was about to pull up to my yard i had to first stop at a t junction. As i was about to cross over I heard the voice saying to me ride) drive down the road so i said I’m not sure i want to drive down the road i heard the voice again saying drive down the road so i said ok i drive down the road. As I drove by the community center no one was there because they were having a special event for the officers that were leaving. After driving down to the school and when i looked there were lots of cars parked so i said to myself i don’t remember any meetings were going on at the school. So i continued to drive down and when i look on my left there was a body lying on the ground lifeless. I just out of my jeep walked over where the body was and life my hands to heaven and began to pray. I pray and cry I pray and cry And the doctor came and began resuscitation resuscitate but the body was lifeless. And I heard the doctor said she is gone she is gone 😢 I then fell on my knees and began to pray and cry the more. I posted a video about it but before I posted the video I was looking for a someone who had experienced the same thing I had and I came across your video. Thank you so very much for sharing it really helped me to post my video. God bless you and your beautiful family is my prayer.🙏
I did too.... I wasn't in this pain these other women were talking about...... All that hurt were the contractions before pushing, not during so idk what they are talking about..... Also I wasn't allowed an epidural because of the conditions I had when I was born
Wow i just gave birth unmedicated as well on may 3rd! I feel the exact same way as you, still processing and unsure if i will do it again or not😌 but also so proud of myself🙏🏼 You are not alone🤍💐
I think you would benefit from a homebirth next baby. I had a traumatic hospital birth with my first. With my second, I had a homebirth and labored so fast and used fetal ejection reflex with minimal pain. Being at home, I was able to fully relax and focus on my birth.
Jesus knows and understands. He has witnessed the miracle many many times, "It will be like a woman suffering the pains of labor. When her child is born, her anquish gives way to joy, because she has brought a New Baby into the world!" -- John 16:21 You survived, thank God! My heart goes out to you, Katherine. I gave birth to three children all naturale. But God is merciful, for each subsequent birth got easier, for me, anyway. The first was 8 hours of hard labor. The second, only 4 hours of hard labor. The 3rd...I barely made it to the hospital in time, only 2 hours of hard labor! Hope this encourages you, for there are good benefits for the mother and the babe with a natural delivery.
Congrats! I hope it goes like mine...... I had no pain except for contractions...... Pushing her out wasn't painful without an epidural.... It was before but that was 15 years ago and I wish I had done it again ❤
I love hearing birth stories and I appreciate how honest and vulnerable you were in sharing your experience. Congrats to you and baby Asa!

Did you do anything in particular to prevent tearing?! I am 37 weeks and terrified of tearing!
No not really! And I did the thing you’re not supposed to do- I pushed him out really fast. The one thing I will say is going unmedicated I could listen to my body really easily! So maybe that was part of it..

Phew! Well done, Katherine! You are so strong 💪Congratulations to your sweet little family 😍💕

I pushed for 4hrs and my son didnt come out. Its suuuuch a helpless discouraging feeling. I had 2 c sections... wish i was able to do what you did...
I’m so sorry to hear that. 😩 birth trauma is real and can come in so many forms. I hope you have been able to get the healing you deserve!! 💜

Congratulations ! I am curious if you had a male or female dr for your first birth?
Happy you had a better experience and no high blood pressure…
Hi!! I had a female OB for the birth of my twins :) and then female midwives! So I’ve only ever experienced females delivering my babies.
@@KatherineCimorelliThank you for answering this question. You’re such a beautiful mother! Happy Mother’s Day! God bless 🙏🌟💙
I’m so happy for you Kath.
Great job and congrats!

Idk if this has been asked but I'm really interested in the Christian hypnobirthing app you used.
Hey! It’s just an app called “Christian Hypnobirthing”
Jesus knows and understands. He has witnessed the miracle many many times,
"It will be like a woman suffering the pains of labor. When her child is born, her anquish gives way to joy, because she has brought a New Baby into the world!" -- John 16:21
You survived, thank God!
My heart goes out to you, Katherine. I gave birth to three children all naturale. But God is merciful, for each subsequent birth got easier, for me, anyway. The first was 8 hours of hard labor. The second, only 4 hours of hard labor. The 3rd...I barely made it to the hospital in time, only 2 hours of hard labor! Hope this encourages you, for there are good benefits for the mother and the babe with a natural delivery.
Hi 👋
I'm a month away from having my 2nd daughter I'm 20 years old
Congrats! I hope it goes like mine...... I had no pain except for contractions...... Pushing her out wasn't painful without an epidural.... It was before but that was 15 years ago and I wish I had done it again ❤
Congratulations!! That’s exciting!
Congratulations
