Please don't ever feel bad for wishing the birth had gone differently. Of course the priority is that you and baby are healthy, but you are 100% allowed to be disappointed/have mixed feelings about the birth. Doesn't mean you're not grateful. And you can look back months later and realize that birth can be beautiful and traumatic at the same time. That was my experience, time and if needed therapy really help to come to terms with the upsetting parts of birth. Congratulations on your boy 🎉
Yes! This exactly! Just because things didn't go horribly wrong doesn't mean that it wasn't still traumatic, down playing our own bad experiences because "someone else had it worse" doesn't help you heal.
I didn't have ANY of the "beautiful, powerful feminine energy" expectations that you did when I gave birth (maybe that attitude just wasn't as widely spread 15+ years ago?) and my labor and delivery was textbook and relatively short.
AND STILL it was Traumatic! Honestly I can't wrap my head around someone who would describe it as anything but.. it is PAINFUL, it changes your body FOREVER.
You are not betraying your Joy by acknowledging the pain.
💚
I agree 100%

I was here when she was cutting her own bangs and now she has a beautiful baby. Congratulations girl ❤
Sameeee me tooo❤

Here since the sock bun!
Me too!
Sock bun! :)
All 4 of my babies wanted to stay in my womb. Lol So, all were unmedicated inductions. They last one being 30 years ago. I think it must be hard with social media showing all of these home births and making a hospital birth seem like a bit of a failure. Your body did what it was made to do, even if it needed help. We are blessed to live in a time when intervention makes it possible for baby and Mom to be safely delivered of a human! Congratulations Mama!
I hadn't thought of the social media aspect, it was 15+ years ago for me and a lot of the ideas she talks about having here are things I've never heard of before. It's been so long since I've been in that kind of information space I just had no idea that it had changed so dramatically. I never conceptualized giving birth as something to look forward to, holding the baby afterwards sure, but the actual labor was always going to be hard work in my mind.
My birthing story for both of my children was wildly different than I had planned or hoped for, as well. Some people will shut you down with “but your baby is healthy so what does it matter,” but please know it’s okay to grieve that experience you had so hoped to have. It doesn’t make you ungrateful for a healthy baby. Congratulations on your baby. I wish you and your family every happiness!
Your feelings regarding your birth experience are 100% valid. Having an induction and a very medicalized birth is a tough experience even if "both baby and mom are ok". I had a traumatic birth and lost one of my babies, and I believe all women deserve a beautiful birth and are allowed to be sad when birth did not happen how they wanted it to happen.
This resonated with me very strongly, my son was born at 42+3 after every intervention and ultimately we needed an emergency C-section to bring him here. Please know that whatever you feel about your birth experience is completely valid. It took me a long time to wrap my head around the trauma from my own birth and I'm now 10 weeks away from having my second child. Just know that you did everything right and you are completely allowed to feel disappointed by the experience. I hope motherhood is treating you well, congratulations Lucy!
Congratulations! Floris is a beautiful name.
It reminds me of Florian in French, which I really like!
Congratulations Lucy! ❤ from LOTR braids to babies. Time flies!
I never expected to see the photos you have shared on instagram of your son. Whether it's his hand or the back of his head. I never expected you'd show us that much. So thank you. I feel like you're sharing a little of him with us while keeping your privacy. Congratulations on the birth of your little boy by the way
It’s absolutely not ungrateful to have to grieve not having a home birth and the experience you really wanted. You can recognize that you didn’t have a fully positive experience while also being glad it went ok. ❤️❤️
Incredible story. Even though nothing went "wrong" per se I think it's ok to feel conflicted about the experience which did not go according to your plans so don't feel bad about it ❤️
Congratulations! Please don’t feel like you are complaining. Giving birth is a massive deal and even though others have different experiences that doesn’t make yours any less valid!
It's perfectly normal to feel how you feel. Don't deny your feelings just to assuage someone else's. You'll end up hurting yourself much more.
Delighted to see you back mama and happy you are doing well! 💖 So important to share these stories ❤ My first didn’t go to plan either and I felt like I couldn’t admit to being basically traumatised by it (because ultimately I was very lucky that baby was born healthy!) but ALL EXPERIENCES AND BIRTHS ARE VALID xxxxx
Congrats on your baby! You'll find yourself wondering how you ever had a life before him - babies bring so much stress, but also so much joy to your life. Especially once they start developing a personality.
Birth story: mine was horrific. I was 20 and very underprepared. I ended up having pre-eclampsia, so I was taken into hospital several weeks ahead of my due date to try and induce labor. I ended up there for a week, on stroke medication, with a central line in my neck after 17 IVS and another central line infiltrated. I was so swollen by the end of it, I had blisters all over my legs and I was unrecognizable in a mirror. The labor wasn't too bad, but I hemorrhaged and nearly died. I ended up having to get a few blood transfusions. I survived, my daughter was born healthy and did fine, but the whole thing was traumatic for everyone involved. I don't remember most of it now, it's just a blur, but two years later my OB/GYN said basically I should never have been able to get pregnant in the first place, my uterous was full of cysts and scar tissue, and endometriosis, and I ended up getting a full hysterectomy when my daughter was 2 years old. 10/10 would not recommend, but was totally worth it.
My first son's birth was at hospital, induced at 37weeks and full of meds. Hated it, even now I feel like I'm grieving my experience, he's 4yo and great! My second son's birth happen on covid lockdown I was utterly alone no support and my midwife didn't want to help during birth...it was natural however but still in hospital and not what I wanted. My third son was at home, uneducated, relaxed and with my husband. It was beautiful, perfect and my new midwife was an absolute angel. ❤ Every birth is different and honestly home birthing was my dream, keep your dream to give birth at home for the next one Loepsie!! Glad to hear baby Floris is healthy and happy. ❤
I love that you are choosing not to share too much about your baby boy, not because I wouldn't love to see him, but because you see so many mums sharing everything about their child's life on social media these days without a care in the world about their child's privacy. It is refreshing to see someone value their family's privacy over content. Not to mention most of the comments on "mom content" are usually filled with judgmental moms telling every other mom how they are doing everything wrong. I used to consume a lot of it unfortunately. Glad to see you are avoiding it! ❤
From seeing you cutting your bangs to now a mother...May God bless you and yours with great health, immense love and all the healing....❤❤❤ Love from India
Congratulations Lucy, I've been watching you since we were both in highschool and you were doing your super early hair care videos. You were the first TH-camr I discovered on my first summer using TH-cam, and you feel like such an old friend and I'm so so proud of you
Welcome baby! Congratulations parents!
Childbirth is a birthing of a mother and father too. Your strength shows at feeding times now.
My eldest son was born three weeks early at nearly 11 pounds. I had undiagnosed gest diabetes because I had been through so many doctors at a university hospital that nobody followed up on some thing they should have. I wanted to have a natural childbirth and all of that stuff kind of like you but in the 1988 version of it. None of that happened and a lot of bad things actually happened and honestly, I was mad at myself. I was mad at the doctors. I was mad at the whole system and you know what ultimately I got over it because I had my baby and he’s perfect in spite of everything. Eventually, he was the healthy baby. He was meant to be. we don’t have control over so many things and for me I just look at it as if I had been born 100 years before I was or even maybe 50, I probably wouldn’t have survived that pregnancy and it’s doubtful that my son would have either. All the interventions were probably not necessary, but the ultimate one was a cesarean section and as he was almost 11 pounds it was necessary. I had three days of induction. My waters were broken. I had a monitor and all kinds of things that added up to awfulness. Subsequent pregnancies, I learned that my body will not dilate no matter how long I am pregnant it just won’t. It doesn’t matter how long I’m induced it won’t. I, and at least two of my children are only here because of modern medicine so it may not have always been done perfectly, but it had to be done even though I didn’t like it even though it didn’t go along with anything I wanted. I wanted the kids and I got them so there’s that.😊 take it easy and enjoy your sweet little baby boy.
I'm a mom of 7 and I've had a few challenging births and delivery, so I truly understand ❤ You did wonderful 🎉
It’s ok to feel both gratitude and disappointment at the same time! I did everything in my power to avoid a c-section but as the weeks went on it seemed more and more likely. Finally I scheduled an ECV as a last effort to get her head down, but ended up having an emergency c-section days before the ECV was scheduled. Turns out baby girl had her chord wrapped three times. I’m incredibly grateful that things worked out as they did, because it was the safest way to bring her into the world and she’s here safe and healthy! But I’m still disappointed I wasn’t able to have the broth I wanted, and that’s ok too!
Congratulations! Floris is such a beautiful name!
42 weeks! Floris was comfy! 😅 Congratulations to you and your lovely family. ❤❤❤
I had a very similar birth with my first. I never went into labor naturally on my own and felt that disappointment and anxiety with myself. I felt all the same feelings, and just because you didn’t have medical emergencies doesn’t mean you didn’t have trauma. It is okay to grieve the experience you wanted to have. Allow yourself that because it will help you heal. I still look back at my birth and the early weeks with him with a lot of bittersweet feelings and it’s been a few years. I just gave birth to my second and it was 180 degree different experience and it reminded me of a lot of the trauma of my first that I had forgotten about, or thought I had processed and they resurfaced. I felt that grief again for my first experience. I realized in hindsight just how much trauma I really did have. My first was born during covid, we came home had had no help, exhausted and so so lonely. I actually felt very anxious and unsure with my second birth in the beginning. But it was overall so different and healing. Allow yourself the time to process, grieve and heal! It might take a while, and that’s okay, and it doesn’t diminish any of what you experienced at all. ❤
thank you for sharing your birth story! this all feels very special to me, as i first discovered your channel when sewing my wedding dress, and when i got pregnant, i saw that you were expecting too! and now our baby girl is 3 weeks younger than Floris. we also had a different birth than what i envisioned in my birth plan, though my daughter decided to come out by herself on the day i would've gone to the hospital to start the induction 😅 i still had a positive experience, because the hospital staff was amazingly supportive and informative. i think it's important to share the real experience, not just the euphoric and positive ones. birth is so much more than "both mama and baby are healthy" and most people forget that. congratulations and enjoy your time with your new family ❤️
I had my boy the 28th of April 🩵 congrats mama! It’s the most intense thing ever.
Congratulations! I've been watching you for years and years and now I'm having my own little one within months of yours!
Congratulations on baby Floris, Lucy! I'm glad both you and the baby are doing well. Your feelings are natural and I appreciate your honesty. You were in my prayers during your pregnancy and labor. I had all four of my children without pain meds (1985-1990). The three girls were super fast labor and deliveries, and I had to be induced with our son. That labor and delivery was traumatic partially due to the pitocin and he was a dry birth.
I was induced 2x due to preeclampsia. Hospital births both times because of my bp (it's just always been high). I'm glad baby is here and I'm sorry it took so long to get it started! Sometimes they just don't want to leave! It's okay to grieve the birth you wanted. It's also important that people talk about it. I feel like so often all we hear about are the beautiful "perfect" births or the super traumatic ones. It's important to talk about the in betweens!
I absolutely know how you feel. All 3 of my babies were induced. With my last I really wanted to push it as long as I could to experience spontaneous labor, but unfortunately baby failed a stress test and it was deemed necessary for baby to come out at 40 weeks. I’m sad I’ll never experience spontaneous labor AND I’m grateful for the inductions that brought my babies into this world. Both can exist together.
WOW. Sounds like you had a very challenging experience giving birth to Floris and now have an awesome story to share forever. Plus, your story has a STELLAR ending: both you and Floris are healthy and doing well! You did really well. Congratulations to you and Robert. I hope y'all are getting some sleep. Looking forward to seeing what's happened in your garden and whatever else you decide to share.
Been here since the sock bun secret, this is absolutely wild. Congratulations 💗
You're definitely not alone in feeling conflicted and about your birth experience. I also wanted an unmedicated, natural birth. I had to be induced as well, and in the US they go straight for the most extremely measures. I caved and got an epidural, which terrified me. My baby went into distress and I ended up having an emergency C section. He's almost 12 and I'm still salty about it! I already didn't love being pregnant and that was just the icing on the cake. If anything, I'm sad that I let the birth experience taint the entire pregnancy. Thank you for sharing your story and being so candid!
Congratulations 🎊 God bless your family!✨
Congratulations to you both on the birth of your beautiful, healthy little boy 🥰🩵
Beautiful name, congratulations and I'm so happy you!
I hear you dear Lucy. I hope 'debriefing' here really helps with your healing from the experience..
It was really therapeutic to hear you talking about your birthing experience with such a good choice of words.
My birthing experience was very similar. I didn't want a natural birth and in France you have to give birth in a hospital but I really wanted to like giving birth and to feel strong about it. Instead my water broke and it took three days, four different inductions and a c section to finally get baby out. It really didn't help my postpartum recovery, especially because I was so tired after. I was also a bit bittersweet about this experience that I thought I would love or at least remember like a very powerful moment.
It's been a year and a half now and I'm better. Therapy helped and of course seeing my beautiful boy growing every day.
I’m just glad you and baby are okay. That was so cute what the nurse did of taking pictures.
Congratulations on your baby boy! Thank you for sharing your story and I hope the rest of your maternity leave is restful.
Definitely looking forward to more of your videos! It would be interesting to hear the story of your sewing journey - maybe some of the highlights of what you've learned over the years, favorite tips and tricks, future things you'd like to learn, etc.
I'm childfree by choice, but my sister in law had an interesting experience with her first pregnancy. I can't speak to all of it, as it wasn't me going through it, but I do know she was in labor for what seemed like hours before the doctors decided to do a C-section because my nephew was stuck. I believe he was around 12 pounds! I remember my mom freaking out, thinking he would be brain damaged, but he came out just fine, albeit with a bit of a conehead from being stuck. It went away fairly quickly and now he's 24, married and a news anchor in Texas. Congrats on your little one! Love the dress you're wearing in this video. :)
Congratulations! I was pregnant for 42 weeks too so I get you, it's a LONG time! You may find it helpful to go over the birth with a good therapist. Mine wasn't traumatic either, it just didn't quite pan out how I'd imagined and even if there's no trauma, it can be very healing to tell the whole story to someone neutral and understanding. Whichever way it happens, giving birth is transformative and I think it's good to give that its space. It's great to see you back and so full of life, hats off to you because I remember 6w postpartum and I would NOT have been so peppy on camera at that point!
I gave birth to my first child almost five months ago now and like you it didn't go as I expected. There was a point during labour when i was informed that there were some risks developing and in the end I concenting to an emergency cesarean, even though I was scared. In the end the medical team did a great job of making us feel calm and supported throughout the whirlwind that was happening around us, my recovery has gone well and our baby was healthy. Despite that a part of me feels like I had missed out of the "full" experience of a natural birth, but I am starting to come to terms with this and to appreciate that even if it wasn't the experience I expected it doesn't mean it was any less special.
Oh my goodness you poor thing. I'm so glad everything worked out in the end but you had a hard road. Enjoy your lovely baby. An exciting (and exhausting!) new chapter.
Congratulations on your new baby boy, my son was induced at 42 weeks and my daughter was 1 day over but I was due to be induced the following day as she had stopped growing at 32 weeks, epidural for son but nothing for her and she was under 3 hours from first contraction to the last stitch. It's 35 years ago now but I still remember seeing them for the 1st time. ❤
Aww congratulations to you and Robbert. Love the name floris! More hair styles please
I'm so sorry you weren't able to have a home birth! It is 100% understandable and valid to grieve that. I would. My oldest was a home birth (thank God; long and hard but definitely a positive experience and I'm planning the same for my second in Nov) but how you described your concern/dislike of the hospital environment is something I 100% identify with. Good for you for sticking it out and staying strong! Congratulations on your healthy baby boy!
Congratulations to you and dad. Welcome baby ❤
My first birth was quite similar to yours in that it was an induction, which I didn’t want, and resulted in me getting an epidural, which I eventually requested because I knew I didn’t have the stamina to go on given how slowly I was progressing. I have mixed feelings about it, because like you everything went well, but it just wasn’t what I’d envisioned or prepared for during pregnancy. My second birth, however, was everything I wanted. It was a beautiful birth center water delivery and was absolute magic. So you might get what you hope for the second time around! Maybe not, but I’ve learned every birth is going to be its own thing. Know you’re not alone in your mixed feelings and that it’s okay to feel that way! Congratulations on Floris; he sounds like a dream.
Wow, congrats. Your videos pop in and out of my feed, so I completely forgot you would be having him soon! So glad to hear from you now. Love happy baby news. Being induced and having a lot of medical intervention is not easy. Great news that nothing went wring. No C section is fabulous after all that. I had 4 labors that went on endlessly. I am a very slow dilator. Don’t worry, there’s not a “zone” that you missed out on. You just do your best to keep ahead of the contraction waves. ❤️
Congratulations 👶🏻💕 anything food or closet related is what I love to watch. Also, easy vintage/retro hairstyles.
Adore your dress. Take your time and enjoy your baby. Congratulations!
I welcome a new baby into the world and I send a big congratulations to the parents. Lots of love.💕
I'm just here to say "happy baby" and wish you the best!
Also been a subscriber since you were living at your parents' place in your purple room. It's inspiring to see how far you've come. Congratulations on your arrival of your baby boy!!! Totally relatable! I just gave birth to my baby boy 6 months ago. Could i please request for an updated tea collection video?
This birth story was almost exactly like mine 5 months ago so I understand the mixed feelings. I think it's ok to have them, but of course the most important thing is that we have healthy baby boys. Good luck in your maternity journey and I'm looking forward what comes next in your videos.
I gave birth just over 3 months ago In a hospital in America. It was a mostly good experience, I wasn't able to go all natural like I wanted to but I know the epidural helped me relax and allowed me to dilate. It got a little scary toward because my son's heartbeat would drop with each contraction, they told me he probably had his cord wrapped around his neck. (He definitely did) so it took him what felt like forever to cry after he came out. He's super healthy now and growing like crazy. Enjoy the quite moments with your little man while is still so little 💙(I feel like my son is huge now) congratulations!!
I'd love to see some good/recipe videos again on top of all your wonderful videos. I like learning new recipes and always appreciate yours. Enjoy baby Floris they grow so quickly!
I'm sorry it didn't go as you hoped but am so happy to hear you and baby boy are so happy and healthy!! Thank you for sharing your birth story and your current thoughts and feelings ❤ For my first birth I had a more difficult and lonely experience with a not-very-kind nursing staff around me (I was becoming a single mom at 20 years old), but for my second at a different hospital and 12 years later, it was a beautiful experience with my wonderful husband and the staff was such a blessing to us, so encouraging and kind throughout!! We are now expecting our daughter any day now and am praying for another great experience 🙏🙏
Don’t feel bad about your birthing experience everyone is different. As I’ve seen previously my sister was pregnant at the same time as you and your videos helped me understand it better as I’ve never been pregnant and her birth didn’t go as she’d planned either, she wanted a water birth in a hospital but needed to be inducted earlier because baby was on the smaller side. Love you, you are strong x❤
Aww I never clicked on a video so fast! So beautiful to see you as a mommy. ❤
So very happy for you loupsie. ❤
Welcome back, and congratulations on your baby boy!
Congratulations on your healthy baby boy
It's totally okay to feel the conflict in emotions. I feel that way about my postpartum experience, though I feel super grateful for having the smooth birthing experience I wanted at the hospital. I fortunately gave birth at 38 weeks at the hospital with no medical intervention/ pain medication (like I wanted) I was also able to nap between contractions while listening to my baby's heartbeat on the monitor which was very calming and a positive reminder of the joy to come. I had a few stitches, but otherwise, the birth was quick and smooth with less than 24 hours since the first stages of labor, which woke me up in the morning with period cramp sensations.
However, i feel postpartum hit me like a train wreck. I am 5 weeks pp and still feel very unstable with no sense of routine or sleep despite having my mom with me
I just had my firstborn son 2 weeks ago and my birth was completely different than what I had planned for as well, also an induction (38+5) but mine ended in a c section due to potential health risk to my baby. Hearing your birth story helped me feel like I’m not alone, it’s been hard on me emotionally trying to process how the birth happened and just the experience in general. Most of the hospital staff was amazing with support and information, but I did have one nurse I had to ask to switch because she was not acknowledging me at all and had me basically suffering in stalled labor for over 6 hours. I had a very long induced labor that also ended in an epidural after several short term pain relief doses through 2 days. Originally I planned an unmedicated vaginal birth with spontaneous labor. In the future I hope I can look back and not be as upset as I am now, but for now knowing that my baby is here and healthy is enough to keep me going.
My heart goes out to you. We didn't manage a home birth until baby number 4, Also the sleepies is sign of getting near.
Congratulations ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I am happy that baby and you are good! I wish you a wonderful time with him!!
Your video has left a lasting impression on me. I can't stop thinking about it!
Gefeliciteerd Loepsie! Ik werk in het ziekenhuis en er zijn zoveel vrouwen die achteraf toch 'rouwen' om de bevalling die ze hadden gewild maar niet hebben gekregen. Die gevoelens mogen er zijn! Mijn zoontje is nu 9 maanden en die rouwe gevoelens vervagen en maken weer plaats voor nieuwe herinneringen. Meer dan je best kun je niet doen zeg ik maar altijd! Het is toch een lotje uit de loterij die je trekt. Veel geluk met Floris
Congratulations Lucy! I am so happy your baby boy is here and that you are both healthy 🙏🏻 don't worry about not having the birth you wanted, many of us didn't. I try to focus mostly on knowing that God was taking care of me and my baby all the time. Enjoy each second with your baby, time goes by so quickly 🥹
Congratulations, so happy that you and baby are doing well! You’re exactly right about it still being fresh and your perspective shifting / softening with time ❤ enjoy this time, it goes quickly!
Hearty congratulations loepsie🎉🎉🎉🎉
First of all, congratulations to you, your husband and Floris
I'm surprised that the pushing is even a thing in Netherlands, by our midwives they are often presented as a country with very modern procedures and this is very dangerous and not an EBM (I know about a case when this type of "help" ended up with the mother being seriously injured and the child left in a vegetative state for more than 10 years... the court hearings still haven't ended, but the child is already gone...).
I was told it's not really done anymore, I got the feeling it was a fairly unique thing. The nurse who preformed the procedure (who just came in for the night shift) was the only one in the hospital who knew how to do it, and they definitely considered all the circumstances. Baby was already crowning and there was enough room for him to come out, I just wasn't pushing with enough strength. But yeah, I only found out just how risky the push was afterward 😅 Very glad it went well!
@@Loepsie I'm glad it went well too!!! 💜💜💜
Thank you for sharing this with us! What a super star you are for making it through such a long unmedicated birth! Seriously! You should be so proud! 💪 My first birth wasn’t anything like I expected, and it took me a long time to come to terms with the grief I felt over it. But my 2nd and 3rd births were magical. I learned so much from each one.
Congratulations - you all have a world of adventure ahead of you x
it is absolutely 1000% okay to be disappointed that the birth didn't go the way you wanted/planned! I got pushed to do an induction because my blood pressure had started going over & I desperately wanted to experience spontaneous labor. Then I had 2 epidural failures, got the spinal block 8 1/2 hours into my labor, got a 45 minute nap, then it was pushing time & I had to push on my back which gave me SUCH neck/shoulder pain afterwards. We needed the "vacuum" at the last minute to get her out (heart rate started dropping during contractions from being so far into the birth canal and not progressing past "oh we can see the top of her head!" ) but 3 pushes with it and after 13 hours total, she was here! So much happened that I didn't want or wanted something else, and at 3 months PP I'm still incredibly upset but coming to some sort of peace with it as I can't change it now 🫠
I am so excited for you!
I’d love to see more cooking or meal prep, deco and reno, definitely more hair stuff! More tea time! And sewing is always ALWAYS welcomed♥️
I would be interested in your garden being a subject of a video. Quite interested in what Scandinavians plant in their gardens. Glad your boy is healthy.
I was unconscious for both my daughters births. I had emergency c-sections with both with long, difficult recoveries. BUT all I really remember is the first time they placed my babies in my arms. Exhilarating and a bit terrifying to have this new life in your arms.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Congratulations! Don’t worry about feeling conflicted, it’s natural. Your experience sounds very similar to my first - the whole 24 hours etc except I ended up having to have an epidural because the baby got in distress and they were preparing to section, then I managed to push him out. My following two babies were completely different experiences - much easier . Enjoy the baby bubble 🥰
Congratulations and Blessings to you and your new bundle of joy!!! 🩵👶💚
Thank you for sharing your birth story Loepsie!! I'm definitely considering becoming a mom and every bit of information is greatly appreciated!! I would love to see content regarding maternity, especially as a first time mom but I know your channel isn't focused on that. I will regardless keep waiting for every new upload as usual :)
I would love a tea video! What are you drinking this summer? Do you have any favorite snacks/meals to pair with your tea?
Congratulations!!! Here is the USA, we give birth and typically go home with baby less than 12 hours after. No nurse or help. Just another of information right before we leave. It's nerve racking! But I loved my burth! We listen to music, singing between contractions. I wish everyone could have an amazing tranquil experience
Wait what! I live in CT, I had a normal, vaginal delivery, and they made me stay at the hospital for 72hrs 😭 I would have loved to have gone home right away
@@MistressBella1533my first was uncomplicated vaginal delivery and discharged at 72 hrs and my second, I had an emergency C-section where baby was born at 32 weeks and spent a month in the NICU. Even then I was discharged after 72 hrs. Never heard of anyone getting released after just 12 hrs!
I have 3 kids and with each delivery, I could not dialate on my own without the help of the epidural. And with each pregnancy had an episiotomy. Sure there are some things I wish would have gone different but I do feel things were meant to go the way they did. I'm so grateful for modern medicine. If this was the 1800's I honestly don't believe my baby and I would have survived labor. I just could not dilate. Congrats on this new journey! It's overwhelming at times but filled with lots of love. ❤
Um...women in the 1800s had procedures and methods of causing dilation when that was an issue. Women prior to modern times didn't just die when everything didn't go according to current medical expectations.
Had my baby two months ago, and things where not as I planned. I wanted a “natural” birth. My baby was also late, and I was going to be induce , but i investigated ways to make it happen naturally. So I was walking around my neighborhood and doing some yoga and it work and I was in labor. However because I had no sleep and I was in labor for over 20 hours I got a epidural because the pain. As you all my plans where out of the window. No bathtub and pushing for 3 hours on my back. However it was not traumatized, and my baby is heathy
Thank you so much for sharing!❤❤❤
Congratulations! Best of luck as you and your family continue on the next part of your wonderful adventure with your baby .💖💖🤗🤗
i’ve followed you for so long i can’t even remember!!! probably the sock bun era. watching you grow has been so beautiful and i am so proud and happy for you!!!
Congratulations for your baby boy! Becoming a mom is an overwhelming experience and birth is just the beginning. I feel like this movement of painfree and powerful birth experiences, though meant to help, also creates a lot of pressure on women, so some feel its their own fault if their birth is painful or doesn't go as planned. There are things we can influence and some that we can't. We can prepare and hope for the best, but sometimes you need medical assistance. Please don't be sad that the birth didn't go as planned, instead be proud of your own unique journey! My second birth was a c-section and i was feeling kind of guilty for taking the "easy way out", but then i decided to wholeheartedly embrace it, and it was a really beautiful birth experience in the end. I still feel weird telling anyone about it 😂. Best wishes to you !
Congratulations, thank you for sharing your story. Even though the birth event didn’t happen as planned, the end result is the same. I’m happy everyone is healthy and doing well. I had a similar experience with my first and when I had my second I knew I wanted a different experience and fortunately it was much better. The pain management the second time made for a completely different experience.
I am just so over the moon happy for you and your new little family 🖤 enjoy this time, so cliché, but it really does go by so quickly.
I can clearly see you are such a good Mamma already 🖤
Congratulations and blessings!
Congratulations! ❤ Welcome to the mom club!
My son’s birth also didn’t go how I wished. I wanted an natural birth and ended up in labor at 37 weeks with HELLP syndrome and a breech baby. I had to have an emergency c-section for my and my baby’s safety. So I know exactly how you feel about things just happening to you rather than you experiencing the strength of feminine power. It was overall a fairly traumatic experience for me and I haven’t yet gotten through it mentally and my son will be 2 in October. I’m getting there though, it’s just taking time. 😊
I lost my first, so my son 27, was a rainbow baby. One that I should have never been able to have, so a doctor told me several years later. My birth was hard, blood pressure up, nothing working and an emergency c-section. And I was almost 39, which is late to be having a first baby. And having baby wasn't planned. I was just glad he was born healthy, because of the hard birth also glad I had my tubes tied right after birth. Because being pregnant was far from pleasant. Try being morning sick, 24 - 7. And we were both older parents. Later the nurses told me that they were so scared for us both. I was on the edge of having a stroke from the high blood pressure, we could have both passed away. So, mine was scary. I am so glad your little boy was born healthy, and even though you had a hard birth. You now are proud parents of a beautiful baby boy.
