Hi! What a lovely, real birth story. I’m about to give birth to my 4th and your story was just what I needed to hear. A good reminder that birth happens how it’s meant to and not to let expectations or worries cloud you. This will be my 3rd home birth ❤❤❤
I shared this with our daughter in law, (due in November). She felt very encouraged, you told everything in such a positive, calm way! Thank you for sharing! 🤗. I had a very similar home birth story 29 yrs ago! 🤗🙏🏼💙
This is amazing! I’m 37 weeks with my second (and second homebirth) and this makes me so emotional and excited that I get to experience this again!! Thank you for sharing 🫶🏻
They call the toilet the “dilation station” because you’re naturally but not forcefully baring down like a bowel movement. It’s the gravity and you just naturally relax on the toilet.

Your water breaking usually indicates that you will give birth within the next 48hours....also, amniotic fluid is naturally replenishing. So your water breaking is only a risk if you are in a hospital, having regular cervical checks.
It’s more of a productive yell haha. Like grunting to lift something really heavy. Yes I’m able to maintain relaxed throughout the whole process. But pushing is so intense that it just helps to let it out a little. My midwife always told me to breathe down like a low humming noise and that helps.
As far as birthing classes, we attended a local Bradley Method birth class in our area! They are nation wide so I'm sure you could find some in your area too if you're interested in that. It's a great course!

@@charlottemason-ol8oq that is good to know!
How vocal are you while pushing? Are you able to breathe through the pain or was screaming unavoidable!?
