I love that your husband knew it was go time, I was having contractions with my first in the middle of the night and I told him i wasn’t sure if we should leave for the hospital and he said “its time to go”. Such a blessing because I was definitely in labor!!! I’m so glad my husband made that decision for us lol Sounds like yours did the same ❤️
You're a natural born mama!! I'm so happy everything worked out just the way you wanted.....remember how nervous you were about it! God always works things out ❤️ so happy for y'all
@@jluzhnykh They say if you are a first time mom you don't know what your feeling/saying... annoying, moms have intuition and obviously you know your in pain and somethings wrong
Omg so cool to watch 2017 Delilah ❤️ I remember seeing this during my first pregnancy. So cool how blessed you have been since then and how much your channel’s grown!!!
My labor with my son was only an hour and a half. I remember feeling the same as you like I could not get through it if it was going to continue the way it was. Little did I know that I was actually in transition and that was going to be the worst it would ever be. Nearly three years later and I vividly remember my body pushing on its own. Congratulations on your baby girl and with your new pregnancy!
I just found your channel and am watching your first pregnancy- our labor and delivery’s are sooooo similar! I woke up around 1:30 feeling like I had to use the bathroom but couldn’t so I went back to bed, and I kept getting up because I wasn’t sure if I had to poop or I was having contractions. They started to get very painful and were about 1 1/2 min apart so I got scared and called L&D and they told me it must just be dehydration and told me to drink water and wait an hour. After the call it got sooo much worse and intense so I just woke up my husband and told him we have to go. We got to OB triage and it was unbearable, the nurses were so calm not thinking it was a big deal and I was just in panic in my mind. She finally asked me if I felt like pushing and I said yes so she checked me, I was 8cm and it was only an hour since I woke up. So they quickly took me to the labor room and I had my daughter at 3:30am, exactly 2 hours since I woke up!
What a beautiful story. I'm sorry the nurses didn't take you seriously. I feel like my doula treated me the same way. Well if I would have listened to her, I would have had my baby at home. When I got to hospital, my baby was born 14 mins after! Thanks for sharing your story! 😘
I’m watching this video after being subscribed for over 1 year, and for a moment I didn’t think it was Delilah! The hair and makeup is so different! I love both looks, but Delilah with minimal makeup and wavy hair is my fav!
I feel like my 1st labor and yours were almost identical! Mine was 4 hours from when my water broke.. but I was also in triage screaming while the nurses took their time.. then my body started pushing by itself and I asked them to check me. I was 9 cm and they worked so fast to get me into a delivery room.
I just discovered your channel yesterday and I love it!!! I love hearing birth stories, mine is also a funny one..I delivered my baby girl on Oct 15th this year, she came at 37w4d and I am glad she did because otherwise her 8.7 pounds would destroy me. I was enjoying a walk with my husband when i felt a sudden very acute pain, I froze and couldn't move, we had to get a cab for the remaining 200m to get home. Once home my husband called the hospital to tell them that we were leaving home and we live 40mins far from the hospital. The doctor was asking him a lot of questions, one of them, how far apart my contractions were, i explained that they were back to back and when she heard me breathing she told me..ok come on in we will check you. We arrived, I was admitted 30 mins later, once in the room i started to have a very intense pain, i took a warm shower to relax, and then I was in so much pain i decided it was time for epidural. Apparently I went from 4cm to 9cm in only 20mins, so that is why the whole breathing technique become complicated and I wasn't able to hold it anymore, when the doctor arrive 30 mins after i started i was 9-10cm and it was time to push. It was literally as you said, as if i was being ripped in half. At some stage I started to say " I can't do it , i can't i can't !" but my husband remember what the nurse told him during prenatal classes, and came close and went through some birth affirmations that I prepared in advance : your body will do it, your body is designed to do this, you will be a great mom, the pain will not go away until the baby is out", that last one sticked to me, i wanted the pain to disappear so I got all my energy back and started pushing again. Once Celia was coming out I felt like if something ripped me in half , i hada 4 degree tear because when labor happens too fast our muscles aren't given the time to stretch slowly, but I felt great anyway. I just feel like when other friends ask me what it feels like, i can't tell them it really feels like someone is having a bbq down there while another one rips me in two, or they will never want to be mothers.
That’s quite the birth story! Haha it’s funny how a year later I still know what the pain feels like but I’m 100% ready to do it all over again. God made us women so strong!
@@LoeppkysLife yes! the day after the delivery a colleague from work came to visit and when she asked me if I still wanted to have another baby I already knew i want to! such a great experience
My first north went similarly! 6 hours, and my water rushing at midnight woke me up. Two hours of 15 minute contractions. Vomited then 2 minute contractions immediately 😅 Fortunately we are 6 minutes from our hospital. Was 8cm when arrived to the hospital and baby came two hours later!
Oh man, no idea why im watching this video only now but this sounds the most like my birth! My birth was super fast as well and no one believed me that what im feeling is real. I was almost ready to push and they told me that what Im feeling is only the beginning and this will still last at least 6 hours.. you can imagine how horrific that comment was, i remember thinking that Ill never make it.. my son was born 15min later 😅 it was shocking! I can also relate so much to your comment about trying to move when you are 10cm dialated, like how, and yet we managed 🙈❤️
I'm watching this so long after, in 2024, and this is (so far) VERY similar to my first birth story 2 years ago!! And now I'm pregnant again, due in less than 2 months ❤ But I had the same thing where the contractions didn't really feel like that, they felt like I needed to use the bathroom 😂 But they were very close together from the very first hours I started timing them (3/4 min apart) and we headed to the hospital! It took about an hour to get there and my water broke on the way there. I was dilated to a SEVEN when I arrived!!! And my daughter was born a couple hours after that! So from the time I felt the very first pains (turns out they were contractions) until she was born was only 8 hours!
Such an excellent birth story. I also delivered my baby naturally and fast, not as fast as you. You inspired me to share my story too. So I will probably do it in the near future.
Did you plan to call your family after baby was born? I’m a little hesitant calling my family beforehand because I don’t want people waiting and watching I’m not even sure I want my mom and sis in the room since I’m going natural too. I just feel like I want it to be just my hubby.
My doctor said I had "really bad road rash" too lol, but same here -I pushed for like less than 6 minutes with my first (and only so far) baby girl. I didn't go as fast as you (first contraction knocked me to my knees around 11:50am, had a baby in my arms around 5:25 pm), but I was in stabbing pain with sooo much pressure from the very beginning and my contractions went from 6 minutes apart to less than 3 within the first 4 times haha so I got an epidural at 5 cm because I was just sobbing in pain, couldn't get out of bed, and my water hadn't even broken yet (which amps pain up further). Crazy how people progress and feel so differently during labor!! The urge to push was amazing and insane cause nobody had to coach me, I just pushed when I felt my body want to do so as a contraction came on -my epi was the perfect balance of blocking out the stabbing pain but letting me feel all of the pressure; I loveddd it!
You have to be careful in your next pregnancies because it will only get faster and faster. My third birth was done in one hour and five minutes only. I managed to get to the hospital early because I noticed regular painless contractions. And sure enough i was giving birth.
I almost lost my first son because I knew something was wrong because he wasn’t moving and I was scared and my doctor said it was fine and that he was just getting cramped and didn’t have room to move but I knew something was wrong. Went to the hospital anyways and found out he was in distress and wasn’t getting enough oxygen and they said if I had waited another 2 hours he’d be dead. I freaking hate it when people don’t take first time moms seriously and just brush us off like we’re crazy or over exaggerating. We are still mothers and we have mothers instincts. And then with my third son they checked me when I got to the hospital and I was at like 2 and then 30 minutes later another nurse came in and I told her I have to push and she’s like no you’re only 2 cm and I was like well then you better get ready because I’ve done this before and I know this feeling and this baby is coming out whether you’re ready or not and so she rolled her eyes and like went to check me and like her eyes went wide and was like oh wow he’s crowning and like she called for the doctor and he didn’t even have time to put a gown and gloves on he just got between my legs and the nurse held one leg and my husband held the other and I pushed twice and he was out. But for your first delivery going so fast is amazing. My first was an emergency c-section and then my second was 10 hours of labor and 12 hours of pushing god I was so happy my third just slid out cause I told my husband before “I can’t do another 22 hour labor and delivery I just physically can’t do it”
Although it was with my third baby that this happened and I was 9 days late, I went from 3 cm to completely delivered, baby, placenta and all, in less than 90 min! For that to happen 10 days early with your first baby though, that's crazy!
Thanks for sharing this! Crazy how fast that went, amazing! 😃So frustrating that they didn’t take you seriously at the hospital (I delivered my first at a birth center and planning my second at home).
Ah that's amazing, congratulations on your baby. I hope my delivery goes as smooth as well. Btw has anyone told you, you look like Amelia Shepherd from Grey's anatomy? lol it's like my favorite show.
I know that it's an old video, but you were really cute here from the way you look to the way you talk.😊I know that you were 19(?)i think it's crazy to see you mature and change over time.
Hey! I have a question I hope you’ll take the time to answer. I’m looking back at your old videos and I was just wondering, how did you get over the nervousness of vlogging and putting yourself out there? I know by now it’s second nature, but I’m trying to lean into TH-cam because I really love the idea of it, but I can’t shake the nervousness and trying to get everything perfect. If you have the chance to answer I’d greatly appreciate it!
Your story was so similar to mine! My labor was 5 hours total. I made it juuust in time for an epidural but I feel like for baby number 2 I may not make it! Lol also, please tell my where you got that misses basket/bassinet! I’m obsessed! It’s amazing!
Great video :) I can't wait to go through this in 2 months. I keep looking at your hair and thinking it would look good with your face shape to cut your hair where your short layer is at your collar bone is :)
I would be LIVID if someone would treat me this way! I am happy that at least it went so fast for you. I am 4 days away from my due date and can't wait to be done...also I am super stressed out.
Just found out youre channel a week ago 😂 and you allready have 4 children! I am pregnant of our 3rd child, and looking for bing youre video's further. Greetings from Holland 🇳🇱.
In US hospitals you usually only have normal nurses and doctors unless you've hired midwives or doulas. The nurses ARE trained to deliver or assist, but they try to wait for the doctor if at all possible. My nurses let me "practice push" while waiting for the doctor to get down the hall, but I only had to push for 6 minutes total anyway -if my doctor had been running late, they would have probably told me to hold off on pushing for as long as possible. Not sure if it's a legality issue or what, but they always try to have the doctor there even though they're all capable of delivering a baby safely...
Yeah, they give you a catheter because your legs tend to go pretty numb and they don't want you trying to get out of bed and stuff and getting hurt or having to have someone drag you on and off of the toilet etc lol. I had an epi and I only had a catheter in for like 40 minutes tops cause I progressed so fast, but lots of people end up there for hoursssss.
I love that your husband knew it was go time, I was having contractions with my first in the middle of the night and I told him i wasn’t sure if we should leave for the hospital and he said “its time to go”.

I hate the fact that they really don’t take first time moms seriously... I had my baby at 33 weeks because they didn’t believe me.
Jessica Gorash hey what was the reason the didnt believe
Sabrina's channel there was literally no reason. I lost my mucous plug and was having contractions and they simply did nothing
@@jluzhnykh They say if you are a first time mom you don't know what your feeling/saying... annoying, moms have intuition and obviously you know your in pain and somethings wrong
Love hearing positive birth stories! Especially natural ones!!!
Omg so cool to watch 2017 Delilah ❤️ I remember seeing this during my first pregnancy. So cool how blessed you have been since then and how much your channel’s grown!!!

Commenting now while you’re pregnant with baby #4 ❤️ so exciting!!
That was the best birth story I have heard so far!! This Is my 5th baby and I have really long labors. I just pray i have as good of a birth as you!!
I really appreciate that your nurse and doctor didn't tell you when to push - your body knew exactly how to birth your baby! Well done mama!
When you cried I cried 😢 just beautiful. I'm 30 weeks pregnant
You did such a good job of telling the story! I felt every contraction with you! You did amazing little momma! ❤️
I had my first baby also natural and very fast, now pregnant again hopefully I have same experience.
This was beautiful to watch enjoy your time ❤️❤️

I love it im pretty sure you had the ideal pregnancy and birth.
Oh Delilah! 😄 TH-cam recommended this video to me again and it's so neat to watch! You've come so far in your vlogging! Loved to see this video again
K.I.C.O - knees in, calves out. As pushing baby out. I am going to focus on this during my next transition. . .

I actually bought it second hand! But they can be found at toys r us and probably amazon, although I haven't checked. We really liked it!

Thank you for your video I’m almost 24 weeks Pregnancy 🤰🏻 due date is July 19
Beautiful story!!!
Why do you have to wait for the doctor? Surely the midwives are trained to assist you? In the UK you only need a doctor when it is complicated.
In US hospitals you usually only have normal nurses and doctors unless you've hired midwives or doulas. The nurses ARE trained to deliver or assist, but they try to wait for the doctor if at all possible. My nurses let me "practice push" while waiting for the doctor to get down the hall, but I only had to push for 6 minutes total anyway -if my doctor had been running late, they would have probably told me to hold off on pushing for as long as possible. Not sure if it's a legality issue or what, but they always try to have the doctor there even though they're all capable of delivering a baby safely...
I just found your channel and I love your content! You’re really well-informed and present your ideas well. Subscribed!! :)
Amazing!! :) u did so well 🥰
You did GREAT....congrats 😘
looooooooooooooooOOOOVE your channel!!!
What a fantastic birth story though; I'm sorry you can't remember it all cause it was a whirlwind for sure, but it sounds like an amazing experience!!
Idk why this popped up on my feed but re-watching in 2021 as you are pregnant with #3
Started playing after watching her current video where she is expecting #4 now!
It's strange that they didn't tell you to blow to hold off the push urge. Well done you, though!
I had those abrations they were pure hell
Sweet!
She literally looks like a kindergarten to 4th grade teacher in this video.
I do not care if they tell me not to push???
My girlfriend got the epidural they won't let her go to the bathroom
Yeah, they give you a catheter because your legs tend to go pretty numb and they don't want you trying to get out of bed and stuff and getting hurt or having to have someone drag you on and off of the toilet etc lol. I had an epi and I only had a catheter in for like 40 minutes tops cause I progressed so fast, but lots of people end up there for hoursssss.
