I love Emma's adorable personality. Her warmth and love shine thru the screen.
Can't wait for more episodes!! My mom was studying to become a midwife but passed away before she could finish school. She was such an inspiration to me and I plan to follow the same career path. I loved giving birth to my babies and it's amazing seeing other parents bring their bundles of joy into the world.
Beautiful. I'm sure your mother would be proud ❤
I'm sorry for your loss, God bless you, I'm sure you'd make an awesome mid wife! 🤗🌷
You’ve got this lovey! Go get that degree 💕✨
Good luck to you and may Allah bless your mother.
I gave birth to an 11.2lb baby 7 months ago without any pain management. My labour from start to finish was less than 1.5 hrs. My body went into shock. 10/10 would not recommend! 😂
🇨🇦 I love Emma so much! She's just the sweetest most compassionate nurse I've ever seen! She certainly is meant to be in labour and delivery! Oh I wish she had of been my nurse when I had mine! That hospital is very lucky to have her!
I am a fresh mum and I have to cry every single time I see a birthing video. It is incredible what women go through.
Emma seems like the sweetest human on earth! 🥰
E muito bom esses vidio é lindo eu não tenho palavras ver uma chegar a o mundo é lindo demais
honestlyyy she does 💓
I know!! ☺️
Yea 🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍👍❤️
When my daughter was born in Germany everyone was talking about a woman who had delivered a 17 lb baby natural birth. I didn't get to see it, but later my husband saw the mother and baby at the clinic for the baby's 6 week checkup. He said the baby was too big for a baby carrier and she had it in a laundry basket.
Oh my word . My first baby was 11 lb at birth , but reached 17 lb at 4 months , just before I weaned her . People thought she was huge at 17 lb s and were surprised she had nothing more than breast milk up until then .
@@annieridesagain3867 I can't remember what my big one was but I know he had hit 30# by the time he was a year old.
I had an 11 lb baby naturally , it was not easy .
@@annieridesagain3867 my 11 lb baby was 11 lbs at 6 weeks and she was only 18 lbs at a year

Emma is so kind and humble! Love her personality!
My first son was 10.2 pounds and my second son was 10.4 pounds. I had cesareans both times and I’m glad I did! They’re 32 & 29 now and both 6’3 !
😲
Some babies are just big. My brother was 10.12lbs cc birth.
My friend just gave birth to a 10.2ilb both herself and her husband are 6 foot.
WOW big babies. My son was 8 lbs and he is now 6'5"!!! lol
@@kb9847 Yes both of mine were big. I didn’t gain a whole lot of weight. 27 the first time and 22 lbs the second time. Matter of fact when I went for my one week visit after my first son, I had lost ALL of the weight I had gained. And I hate to brag 😂 but I didn’t throw up one time during either pregnancy!! I didn’t have gestational diabetes with either one. I was 6.15 when I was born and my husband was 4.5. You and I both have tall sons by the way!
that’s like my mum. she also had two cesareans, i was exactly 10 pounds and my brother was 10.2, i’m 16 and almost 6’0, and my brother is 13 and 5’10
Fell asleep watching this (long day, work as a nurse) and Victoria's screaming woke me up.
Emma is the most humble and nicest person I've ever seen😊
She has such a kind energy about her.. truly beautiful inside out.
These midwives and nurses are so terrific 🦋🦋🦋
🇨🇦 what an awesome video! I love childbirth! I've had 3 children and loved pregnancy and the rewards! I've been a coach to 9 women and loved everyone. Having and birthing a baby is just amazing to me. In 9 short months a woman's body produces a human being! What an honor to be a woman!, A mother, a Nannie. Thank you so much for this video!
I was 18 when I had my daughter and she was 10lb 5oz! Surprisingly I managed to deliver her naturally
Our bodies are incredible!
My son was that same weight. He was my 3rd. Despite his size, the pain was so terrible I had him out in 3 pushes.
I had 7 live births including one c-section. Some of my deliveries were long and agonizing and 2 were fast and easy. The worst was less than half an hour without any help except encouragement from my unprepared husband. Let me tell you, epidurals were lifesavers. My babies were not adversely affected and my recovery was so much quicker. Good luck and kudos to Emma.
Absolutely! I always remind my pregnant friends and family that it takes work to even get to an epidural, especially the first one, all labor and delivery is beautiful and wonderful and horrible and painful and scary!!!! But it’s our choice how we want it and it is our choice-no judgment!!!
Epidurals negatively impacting birth is no longer generally accepted. They don't prolong labor etc. as they were incorrectly believed to do.
My first was 9 lbs 13 oz and the second was 11 lbs 2 oz, both natural labors under 4 hours. I am 6 feet tall and they are now tall adults…6-3 boy and 6-0 girl. No diabetes. Now, 30 years later, I’m still dealing with hemorrhoids. Every child is a miracle.
I remember when one of my kids was born and was 8lbs. The neighbor had a 10lb baby a week later and the baby seriously already looked about 3 mos old! Both precious on their own way. I was so glad that I got to push out the small one!!! Now he’s 15 5’10” and 160lbs. I can’t imagine that he was ever little in my arms while I held his little hand wrapped around my index finger!!! Little and big miracles!!! So wonderful!!
Emma Willis is the most beautiful woman in the world, I swear. She is just so amazing.
I Agree. Her face wow natural Beauty !
Ever since I mentioned I was pregnant I’ve been getting pregnancy videos non stop
Child birth is a beautiful thing. Looking forward to delivering my 5th baby
God bless you.
So happy for you💖
Congratulations 🥳 when are you due?, I'm also expected my 5th, due on July 3rd 💕
@@lourum8832 ohhhh...I wish I could have my fifth too, but my husband isn t aboard..he s done😢
Congratulations, you sound like you are superwoman
I thought natural meant no pain medication. I’m glad she didn’t try to do that without it!!
I thought so too. My last birth was a 10lb 8oz 23" boy. No epidural cuz it came too fast; nor pain meds. He is 38 now and 6ft 7". It WAS tough. :)
Believe it or not, women used to give birth without any pain killers.
Gas & air is pretty useless ... That one woman was screaming in agony .. I feel so sorry for all of those women. Give them an epidural for god's sake.
my mom had an emergency c session
@@karenkellogg5492 my goodness Karen!! 10lbs 8oz and no pain meds?!?? You must be a super hero!!
Yay another one! Loving this series keep it coming! 💕
These twins made me cry
my cousin's wife had a 13 lb baby. when she looked at him she thought she it was the painkillers messing with her head.lol
Lol. 10lbs 7 oz when I was born 57 years ago. Mom was 2 weeks late. She was only 5' 4". Lol.
YIKES!!!!
In 1932, my 5’3” grandmother had twins that weighed 10 lbs. each, at home with a midwife. A year later, she gave birth with a midwife at home to an 11 lb. boy. A year after that, she had a late term miscarriage of twins who were also big for their gestation age. Don’t ask me why, but I decided to never get pregnant, and, at 71, I do not regret that decision!
I gave birth to a ten pound 12 ounces baby girl naturally on January 19th 2020. Natural labour with some Pitocin towards the end. I was not induced although a c-section was scheduled for the next day. She is 13 months old now. And I did not have gestational diabetes.
Omg, Emma Willis you rock. Amazing to see you working as a midwife and you are fantastic x
Yahoo! I’ve been looking for episodes of this everywhere!
Awe how cute. Little twin bows.
OOOHHHH!!!!!! Emma really seems to be amazing, sweet and very kind‼️
I will be looking forward to new episodes every Sunday from now on. Thanks again for another episode . It is interesting to see the maternity ward from. MCA point of view. A lot of shows like this focuses on the work of doctors and midwives. I don’t think that support staff get enough spotlight . Also it’s incredible how calm births are in the UK and how low the intervention rate is for births . The mom Carly with the 9 lb 4 baby and the long induction process I can just about imagine how it would be a different story in places like China and the US. In China a baby of that weight would simply scare them as being too large and they would have done a c section for a failed induction after 4 days . I admire this hospital for its patience in such cases .
Emma is gorgeous 😍
Emma is a sweetheart.
Emma, I love you and your love for your profession!
Emma better get it together BP is critical for both mom and baby thats one vital sign that you must get correct🤗
I relate to Emma, she seems wonderful btw. Everyone Ive seen here seems wonderful:)
Obsessed with this show!
I weighed 100 pounds when I got pregnant with my son, 150 pounds when he was delivered naturally (not by choice). Baby weighed 10 pounds 12 ounces. I left the hospital weighing 105 pounds. I had gestational diabetes.
I had a cord prolapse and they pushed baby back up then the cord and that was It they did nothing else and she was born sunny side up with her hand on her face. Already sassy before she was out that one
That is 100% not recommended but I’m so glad to hear it worked out in your case!
Yeah most of the time it's straight for a c section
Why did the cord prolapse?????!
Baby’s always go in a lot easier than they come out. I had two of mine. In the car on the way to the hospital . I just thank God that I’m way too old to have too go through that again
@@heyitsjules2495 it was not nice at all I’m a tiny person he was not and was really rough. I ended up getting an epidural which I didn’t want because I wasn’t coping the pain was so much worse than my other 3 but unfortunately the lady who did it couldn’t get it in the right place and was hitting a nerve she said but I felt it something pop and since then have been diagnosed with a bulging disc. She’s never lost the sas that’s for sure x
THANK you all it was beautiful an a great experience..God bless us Emma..an nurses Dr.s
Yes there
GOOD L...ADY. 😱😱😱 I can barely handle period cramps. Barely. 😟
Emma is beautiful! She should be a model!
Emma she is so cute. And she smiles all the time. She looks a lot like princess Diana did when she was her age. So sweet and smiling. I love her personality and I love the way she just goes for it. She has a very good attitude towards life. I wish there were more people like her in the world.
Diana was 36 when she died, and Emma was 43+ when she started this show so not the same age at all. She doesn't look anything like Diana either; she's far more animated, confident and relaxed as a person.
I was going to say the same thing, Diana never made it to 40, SO heartbreaking
My lady parts just NOPED that title.
Amen! As said above, I lived in Norway, and am familiar with Europe's view of childbirth: no epidurals etc., only gas. Came back to the US to have mine, got an epidural, wonderful. Then went back to Norway.
My mom had 3 babies. We were all over 9 lbs. I was the last and the biggest. I was 9lbs 13 ounces. My mom had no trouble with any of us. We were all late though. My middle brother was the latest at 2 weeks. I was 1 week late. I was due on Christmas and born the day after New Years. We were all born in different states.
I'm currently expecting #4 and even though labor and delivery can be awful, I'm so excited! I LOVE this show! I need more! Lol!
Im pregnant with my 4th too! I have 3 girls, 5yo, 2yo and my youngest just turned 1. Hoping for a boy this time 🙏 congratulations!
@@kaylastephens1345 Thank you! Congratulations to you too! We have a 3yo, a 2yo and a 1yo and they go girl, boy boy and we are expecting another girl. I've got my fingers crossed for a boy for you!
LOVE THIS 💪💪
Blessed Congratulations♡♡♡
The first thing I was taught as a student nurse was measuring blood pressure with a sphigomanometer. It’s easy. These days it’s all done with a battery operated device
Happy valentines day
Those twins, are so big! Beautiful babies. I think it was mean to make Carly wait five days before they broke her water. They broke mine about 12 hours of laboring with my second. (Big baby)
Not breaking the water is to save the baby. Once the water broke, your baby is not safe anymore from any infection.
I've had 10 children- 7 in a hospital and 3 at home with a midwife. I wish I'd had all of them at home! It was truly amazing- so much easier and peaceful! Anyone who has given birth or watched the process should only say, "What an awesome God we have that has made it possible for a woman and a man to create another life! It is beyond our human capacity to understand each step from conception to birth!
🇨🇦 I love Emma!
I was very lucky. Labor and birth = 1 hour and 20 minutes. No meds, no screaming and no real pain. Doctor was at the end of the table, wearing a catcher's mitt... :D :D :D
Hahaha 😂 I'm there with you. No pain meds, easy births, no screaming. My 4th I thought should be out in no time but was being born face up. I remember asking the Dr if she was stuck or what. Lol. Then he told me.
I had a fast labour, I went from 3cm to 10cm in like 20min.. here in Canada it a doctor that delivers your baby well the poor nurse had to basically catch my son he came so quickly the doctor just missed it by 20sec..
Wow, you were lucky with that! Were you very active during the pregnancy? They say that helps to make it faster and easier, but not sure that's true.
I just had my baby February 11th 2021. I couldnt imagine having to push a large baby. My baby was 5lb 11oz and 17in long. Born at 38 weeks. She now weighs 5lb 1oz.
Congratulations! ❤
These nurses should come to Canada to teaches nurses to actually nurse people instead of just being pill dispensers. Imagine learning to actually make real beds with real sheets
Wow, how crazy my baby’s both exactly one pound smaller then that lovely lady similar story’s. My first was over due and 10lb 7oz after a very difficult labour and he got stuck but still managed a natural birth. My second I was inducted early as baby was big, after 3 1/2 days one minute I had non stop contractions and the next minute nothing. Until they broke my waters and about 40mins later my second baby was born at 9lb 3oz! Congratulations to all the new mummy’s and daddy! Emma is so lovely making sure they have everything they need ect! Would love to be a midwife but I wouldn’t get through all the trainning. Iv recently started care work again in people’s how’s and that’s good enough know I’m looking after people 😊 xx

Happy ❤️ day everyone
I'm like "where I a big baby? " I weighted 4900kg and I was 51cm tall
@@gordythecat i think that my mom had normal pregnancy
Wait you mean 4900 grams? So almost 5 kilos. Wow that is impressive. I was 59 cm an a little over 3 kgs.
@@klinikam.9135 I think I remember wrong... But i was twice heavier that my sister
@@crazycooner It is not impossible to be that size tho. I was a huge baby too, but more like long. I was the tallest baby in the hospital at that time
4900 kilo's? I think you made a typo
My son weighed 11 lbs, 11.3 oz at birth. I did not have a C-section. None of his gifted newborn clothes fit. He was wearing 1 year clothes when he left the hospital with me 4 days later.
This is why I always advise people to ask for clothing of various sizes as newborn won't always fit the baby. (for baby shower gifts or baby registry gift suggestions) Ultrasound isn't always accurate at estimating birth weight.
Mine too. They had to get diapers from the children's unit since natal unit had none big enough. I had bought lots of clotches size 50-60 he never wore them they were too small. Now he is 25 , 190cm/about 78 kg . When he was three weeks old he sat on my arm holding his head and back. At 5 month he stood up holding on to the sofa his small legs shaking but determined to stand.
Is the one ladies hair drawn on? Lol
I asked myself the same question...still trying to figure it out 🤔...I mean to each it's own but...
I have the same thoughts! Not to be mean. But it looks glued down. Lord forgiven me for my remark.
I wondered same thing... I'm so confused
It appears to me, she is suffering from some sort of irreversible hair loss or thinning, and has decided to either tattoo, or 'paint' on colour to her scalp to resemble hair. I feel she would look better simply bald, or with a wig. But people handle trauma in interesting ways.
@@Wakeupgrandowl It appears she is most likely suffering from alopecia.
congrats!
Love these episodes. Will there be more getting uploaded? x
What a truly beautiful soul 😍
My second baby was over 11 lbs, the biggest my midwife ever delivered. Thank goodness I had wide enough hips!
My boyfriend was 10lbs at birth and I am a tiny person so kinda terrified 😅
Hahaha 😂
Ciao che bella bambina carina anche se la sua famiglia e bella carina come la bambina ciao tutti
I had a 9 pound baby and because of that 3rd degree tear 😰😰
One year later: STILL not OK down there 😭😭😭
Oh, dear. Tearing can happen with coached pushing. Sorry you're still experiencing issues.
I had a 7.15 lb. boy who was stuck and the doc pulled him out with forceps and in the process pulled me off the table. My son suffered from that for over a yr and I am still having problems 42 yrs later from 4th degree tears.
This had to be before Covid.
My babies were 9-2 and 10-6. 10-6 was natural and so easy I could not believe it.
0:26 for the love god.....i jumped 😅😅😅 put them volume low 🤣
42:03 i want to hug u my beautiful angel.that baby is so cute
Praying that everyone falls asleep quickly and has a peaceful sleep. Hope you all wake up happy and well rested 🍓🍓🍓
I love 💗 watching birth vlogs
Me, too.

My son was 10 lbs and 23 inches at 38+3. My daughter was 11.1 lbs and 22 inches at 38+2. Have nothing naturally and unmedicated. Both deliveries were 10.5 hours. Was induced with cervidil for my daughter.
Feb 14th, 1985 I had a big baby My 3rd son was 11lbs 11 oz was 28 3/4 inches ALL NATURAL even with him being posterior I'm 5ft
2 of my 9 were big. My 4th was 9lb 12oz (military hospital). My 8th was 11 lbs (homebirth). I'm 5'2" so I was huge lol. Surprisingly short labors though...3 and 4hrs.
Nine! Wow, that's amazing.
IS a new episode being uploaded every other week?
Well I’m not from the channel but i think a new episode is uploaded every Sunday . The first episode was uploaded on Feb 7th, this one on the 14th so I’m assuming next one is on the 21st?
I almost had my third baby in my husband's truck (got stuck in morning traffic). Got to the hospital and immediately started pushing; I think it took 10 minutes total. Whole time begging in vain for an epidural even though I knew it was way too late lol. Plus side was I was mobile again almost immediately; it was nice not to be paralyzed for a time after birth.
Emma is 😍
My baby girl was 11lb 6oz with a head full of dark hair that the nurse put in a little bow on top of her head. She certainly did not look like a newborn.
i remember doing the manual blood pressure test, my teacher checked it after me & just guessed but jeez thank you to my goodluck :) got it right
i was born 2 months premature in '98 and about 2 kg, so seeing babies that small at 5 weeks premature makes me wonder how small i was
2 Kg is about 4.4# which is a tiny baby. Did you have to spend time in the NICU?
@@gailrodgers3079 not sure, i did not ask further
I was born in the late 80's 13 weeks premature. Still trying to wrap my head around this: 1 lb 13 oz. I have friends who were even smaller than that and though certain eye conditions developed while in the nicu, we're all healthy adults today. I was in hospital for 6 months since I couldn't breathe on my own and so on.
I had my babies in the 70's and boy am I glad...no inducement, no C section, no drugs. I was a Lamaze Trained mom and it works! I did not want my babies to be filled with drugs. They nursed right on the table.
I had my babies with no drugs as well. Quite an amazing experience!!! Painful but amazing!
Oh goodness “the perfect mom” 🙄
Everyone has different needs, experiences, circumstances, requirements, limitations and experiences pain differently. Your way was ideal for you doesn’t mean it is for everyone.
@@catchyname5403 pretty sure some people litteraly pass out when they're in a huge amount of pain so indeed in some cases it's needed
You know that your baby isn't going to be "filled with drugs" right? 😂wow. Epidural is safe or it wouldn't be so widely offered.
I had 3 natural & 1 was an emergency cesarian, so you just never know
I wanted to deliver vaginally, but my OB/GYN said there was no way. My birth canal is very narrow and it would be dangerous to try. My baby was little. 6 pounds 7 ounces and 17 inches long. I trusted her when she said no. She’s been delivering babies for 40 years now and I went with her judgement. I didn’t want to chance getting my baby girl stuck.
Happy Val fay
oohhh! Hi! Hello baby! 👋😃😄
💕🤗💕The most Beautiful experience in Life!!!🤰🤱❤️
Is the gas and air a Uk thing? I had my first in Canada and I never heard of that during labor.
My second baby was a natural delivery weighing 12lb 14 onz!
ouch!!
😲🙊
Wow amazing lady, I thought mine where big at 10lb 7oz and 9lb 3oz xx
Wow
Did they seriously just preform two blood pressures, in a row, on the same arm. 🤦🏻♀️ you have to wait 10 minutes to preform another blood pressure on that arm. That BP check 101!
Manual blood pressure I remember that. So much better then the electronic dumb machine that don’t work at the best of time
Happy valentines day everyone!
I can’t believe they let the mum “labour” for 4 days during an induction, I thought they’d start pitocin quite soon afterwards or maybe that’s just the US where they pretty much start Pitocin ASAP
When I worked in a nursing home in Indiana, elderly woman told me her 2 kids weighed 23 lbs at birth.
I was a big baby too. I still am a big baby.
CUTE❣️
Wait if she has an epidural why does she need gas and air?? I get that if you aren’t proactive your epidural can wear off but I feel like they would have been good about that
That ad that screamed in my earbuds during no this vlog was AWFUL !!!! Will not EVER watch on here again !!!!
My first baby was 13 pounds my second was teeny tiny he was 3.1 pounds
"Call the Midwife" modern times.
