- Our Birth Story (scariest moment of my life)
This is our birth story. Births don't usually go to plan and ours was no different. The actual birth went fine.. but afterwards it turned in to a serious situation very quickly. Luckily, everyone is safe and healthy and we are able to introduce you all to Noah Skye Collins and start our own little family.

⭐ About Travel Beans:
Hello and welcome to our channel! We are Alex & Emma, a British couple who have been exploring the world together for over 10 years - from backpacking to vanlife:
2012/13: We both embarked on our own solo backpacking trips through Southeast Asia, where we would eventually meet at a hostel in the mountains of Thailand and begin traveling together. After a year and a half of backpacking around Southeast Asia & Australia, we returned home and to the corporate world!
2015: Travel Beans was born and we filmed our first videos on a road trip around Europe with friends! This was our biggest trip yet.. and you can go back and watch the entire adventure because we filmed ALL of it! This trip took us through Russia, Mongolia & China, on the longest railway journey in the world. Followed by highlights such as staying on a local island in the Maldives for a month, going on safari in Sri Lanka, couchsurfing & hitchhiking in Korea, seeing the snow monkeys in Japan, island hopping in the Philippines, trekking 60km through the centre of Myanmar, exploring the Indian Himalayas, and checking out some of the incredible US National Parks.
2016: Despite an unbelievably memorable year and a half of travels, which we were incredibly grateful to have had the privilege to experience.. we found ourselves in New York City, battling depression. At this point, we decided to go home and confront this problem head-on.
2017: After 6 tough months at home we decided to go away again, but this time with a goal in mind.. to turn travel into a lifestyle. We left the UK with just £500 in our bank account and a dream to make a continuous travel lifestyle happen! We both got online English teaching jobs to be able to fund our travels and to keep creating videos. We can't quite believe that our younger selves decided to take this plunge but we are so grateful they did as we are still on this journey today!
What now?
Over the years, we've discovered that we LOVE road trips and even decided to renovate our very own little VWT4 van into a campervan to be able to enjoy vanlife and spend more time on the road. We are now the proud owners of 2 awesome little campers - one based in the UK and one that we keep in the USA. You'll often find us using one of these vans to explore Europe and North America. If you enjoy this kind of content we'd recommend checking out our Italy Road Trip series, USA vanlife series and our Japan in a Tiny Van series as well as our UK vanlife content.
Our time spent overcoming depression has influenced our outlook on life dramatically! We are now traveling the world in search of what makes us happy. We love sharing the highs and lows of our trips through our videos and hope to spread a little positivity and light to all of the beautiful people who take the time to tune in and watch each week!

BEANS OUT!
Thank you so much everyone for your kind words and support. Noah is keeping us on our toes but we will try and reply when we get a chance ❤️
Amazing man. Congrats. She's a strong woman.
Just take a deep breath and know one thing.... Don't listen to other people , Don't doubt your self and let it all come natural.. you will be amazing parents.. just takes love..
Welcome to the world, Baby Bean!!
Take your time! We will be here! And congratulations again on your impossibly adorable little Noah. Like, seriously, how cute is that little guy?! We have three children, and while they are preteens/teenagers now, I still remember when they were born and how precious that newborn time is. They make a lot of squeaks and it’s awesome. Take care of yourselves and Noah. Not sleeping much can be hard so make sure you are getting rest whenever you can. Emma, we’re so grateful you are recovering and that you had such a wonderful medical team around you. All the best!
Congrats y’all! Glad everyone is safe and healthy! 😊
This 69 year old man had more than a few tears in his eyes upon seeing your boy out in the world. Well done Emma! (and of course you too Alex.)
Nice.
I'm a 49 years old father of two sons (18 and 23 years of age) and I would have used the same words .... it was so emotional for me 🙏
The look on Emma’s face right after, fatigue, and the surgery tells us what a mother does for us from the very first. Congratulations!
Not quite the very first. That comes nine months earlier and the sensations are somewhat different, as Alex would no doubt confirm.
My son is 14 and I'm still recovering from his birth! But it gets easier and everyday you love your child more. Congratulations!
Emma's casual, "Turns out that's hard" was great. Congratulations to both of you, and way to go Emma!
And I thought Emma was complimenting you, Alex!!
Understatement of the year! Lol
Hey Jeremy..... have you ever witnessed a woman give birth to her child?
I've followed your journey for the last few years and I must say, at my age, I feel like I became Uncle Bean today! Witnessing the miracle of birth never gets old. May God bless you all. Cheers!!!
It's an everyday miracle.
Lol uncle bean😊😂❤
Well really! Making a 54 year old man cry on a break at work just isn’t Cricket you know. Beautiful video. Beautiful family. Praying you all thrive after your scare and co to us to show all how good people can be.
You nearly made a grandfather of three cry, so happy for you both.
Without doubt, one of the the most awesome TH-cam videos I have had the pleasure to watch, with two of the most lovely people I have the pleasure to follow. And so now, they are three; the two broad beans and their little baked bean. Heartfelt congratulations to you both and so look forward to seeing your future experiences with beautiful young Branston. Sorry, Noah !! :o) Good health and safe travels to you all.
Thanks so much Mark! Really appreciate it 🙏 life is certainly much better now he’s in it 🥰
It's unbelievable that you shared such a huge and intimate experience with us. We are all very privileged to be on the Bean Team. And Noah has all the luck in the world having you 2 as parents. Not ashamed to say I was crying through most of that. My kids are late teens, but it took me right back to their birth. Take very good care of each other!
I shed tears also, happy and sad. My babies are now late 20s to early 30s, however, you never forget that special day when they all arrived into this world. Precious memories.
I've lost about 2 liters of tears watching this. Most of them for joy.
Poor Emma, you guys must have been so worried. She did amazing. Thank god for our excellent 2023 doctors and nurses and of course universal healthcare
How sweet of you to share such a personal moment with us, both in the joy and in the fear. Well done mama and papa. Welcome to the world little Noah. It will be a better place because of you.
I wept from the moment I heard little Noah's first cries!! The NHS saved your life, Emma... no doubt! So glad to be able to Congratulate you on the birth of your precious little Bean!!
Me too !!
I also wept. It brought back the memories from my three daughters being born over 30 plus years ago
Same! Newborn cries make me cry every time.
I'm a father of 5 (now grown up) children and having been present at every birth, I can only be grateful that all were without much drama. I genuinely teared up watching this and am so glad that everything has turned out well for the 3 of you. The very best wishes and luck for the future and looking forward to following the progress of your new journey.
As a father of none ( that I know of ) this also made me tear up...
I want nothing but the best for all of the Beans...
( I am glad we get to meet the powerhouse of Noah! LOL )
My husband and I went through your exact birth experience so I understand completely how you both were feeling. (I had 50% blood loss and required blood transfusions.) Our wonderful son Adam is now 37 and a father himself. Congratulations to you both. There’s nothing like baby snuggles and the amazing feeling of a heart stretch to bursting with love.
This 70 yr old Grandma from Pennsylvania USA cried throughout the entire video. Welcome to the world Noah! I've been following your adventures for a while and look forward to your new videos as you go on your greatest adventure yet--parenthood!!
"That's for our OnlyBeans!" Haha, I love you two. Congrats on the new bean Noah!
As the father of 3 young ladies now in their 30’s with children of their own, I congratulate you both on producing Noah - he’s a sweetie. I type this with tears of joy for you rolling down my cheeks - Congratulations xxx
Facts are facts. Im an old dude living in Alabama, USA. Im an uncle, grand uncle, and great uncle. I've held a bunch of Lil critters. And y'all brought back memories of miracles. Im in years! You folks will do fine.
I am not ashamed to say that I spilled some tears of happiness for you. May Noah bring you endless happiness. ❤❤❤
Thanks for allowing us the honor of watching little Noah come into your world. Thank goodness Emma recovered from that major blood loss and she's OK now. You're both absolute legends. Please rest up all you can... you're gonna need it to take care of that bundle of joy. As always, looking forward to the next video, whenever that happens. Beans out!!
You made it look so peaceful, serene, loving, even during an emergency. Congrats a million times over! I won't share my whole birth story, but my kids are 20 and 16, and times have changed, but my experience in the American hospital was much different. I hemorrhage with my first because my uterus wouldn't contract, but I was able to be revived through transfusions. I was alone, split from my partner, my mother was deceased, and my friend, who was supposed to be my support, was violently ill with stomach flu. My ex-partners mother got there to be with me as quickly as she could. Aw, you two are just the sweetest couple. Love the three of you!
I love how Al took off his shirt so Noah could have that skin to skin contact. He's a good daddy already. Glad Emma is OK too.
This vid had me teary eyed! All the best guys!
The newborn stage can be so tiring but before you know it the baby will become a toddler, will be off to school, and if you blink for too he will be a young adult and out on his own. Cherish every second of this stage it's really precious. Congratulations!
Best parenting advise I can give....listen to others take it in and then decide what works for you. Huge congrats. My boys are now 23 and 19 still living at home and are the loveliest things I ever created!
Couldn't agree more!
You both did great! My husband & I married 40yrs had 7 individual births, all are unique & none like another - loved every bit of it. I suggest you guys sleep when Noah sleeps. Emma ur body makes milk from WATER 💦 best to drink a full glass of water each time you nurse - 1/2 glass while Noah nurses on each side. Plus drink water in between nursing. Also, rotating Noah’s nursing positions each time he nurses & rotating last side he nursed as 1st side at his next meal will help tons from getting you sore or having nipple blisters.
God bless all 3 of you.
You have put me off food now I always thought that beans came in tomato sauce not blood! Congratulations on bringing into the world your new micro machine bean! All the best. Having children was the best thing that ever happened to me in my life even though at first I was absolutely petrified because I am registered blind but I smashed it
My heart dropped when they whisked Emma away for surgery. I'm ecstatic that everything went well. Noah Sky is absolutely the most beautiful bean I have ever seen!! So much love being sent your way! Cheers!
Seeing her and Noah sleeping safely together was just everything! ❤ Many congratulations!
She looked like a goddess while in labor, then says "turns out that's hard" 😅 she's made to be a mother!!! And the way papa bean kept his cool, and cuddled that baby during a very scary and stressful time, you both are going to do just fine. I believe this new journey is going to be brilliant for all of you😊 congratulations, and we'll done!!!! 💓
Omg … the bit where she’s asleep and you do a kiss… you made me cry, you can see the relief for the love of your new little family… I found your channel yesterday and watched quite a bit of it ! Congratulations to both of you xxx
I am so thankful that Emma is okay! Congratulations on the birth of your precious little boy!
Congratulations on your little bean !!
Omg!!! Congratulations!! And so happy You all good Mommy!! What a delivery for the books!! Enjoy your Son it goes fast❤
Another gift from God , a baby bean
same thing happened to my family 22 years ago. Nearly lost both my son and my wife - from a low risk birth to an interventional medical emergency in moments. I feel for you both. Well done getting through it. Congratulations.
Don't worry about your new chapter not being for everyone. Those of us who love you are looking forward to it and your future travels whenever they may start. We're excited for all of it. Congratulations and I for one won't miss a single video.
Can’t imagine how frightening it must have been for you Alex while simultaneously experiencing the joy of holding your little one!! So grateful for the care you received Emma! You’re a trooper!! So happy for you all! Congratulations new mom and dad- you’ll I bet learn to be awesome parents just being the amazing travelling humans we’ve come to know through this channel! Best wishes!
Wow, what an emotional rollercoaster. Seeing you go from denial that he was coming at the start, to the joy of his arrival, then the absolute fear Alex felt when Emma was rushed away. Me and my husband both shed tears of joy, and anguish for you all. Welcome to the world Noah, you have the best mummy and daddy xx
Amazing, supportive man to your partner. Way to go, Alex! The men need a little praise, too. Emma is already a dang Rockstar.
Oh my...what a scary experience it must have been....but you are both rock stars! And Noah...what a sweet little bundle of cuteness. Thank you for sharing this with us and congratulations! 🇨🇦❤
From a cynical, moaning old boy in Brisbane, formerly the UK who is about to venture out in vanlife I just wanted to say how deeply moved I was by your latest story. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Glad you are all well and look forward to the many adventures that lay ahead. Welcome to the World Noah 🙂
Just watched this again . Tears running down my cheeks . Hand slightly trembling as I hold my phone . So generous of you to share this . Noah ♡.
Only Beans 😂😂😂 I spit coffee all over my desk! Congratulations, don't worry about the sleep, soon enough it changes, and then suddenly you have a toddler. The time flashes by.
The fact you both felt not ready for parenthood tells me you are both as ready as anyone can be. What a precious video to share. Off to tell my daughter I need another grand baby 😂 congratulations to all three of you! Well done all three beans! ❤
I love you guys so much! that picture of Emma resting with the baby on her chest made me cry and I'm not a cryer. And Emma still has her sense of humor saying "turns out it's hard" but she was in labor for only 3 hours which is actually pretty miraculous.
Thrilled for this birth! Welcome to the world, Noah! Congratulations! Emma you are a champion! Alex, I can’t begin to imagine how you were feeling. You handled it well.
Ahhh seriously guys this is such an incredible moment for you three to cherish when you are older! Emma you did SUCH an incredible job - and Dad for being there for support - welcome to the world Noah you have been born into quite the cool little family :)
This brought me to tears. So glad you're ok, Emma, and so is your beautiful little boy, Noah.
That's a lot of blood loss.
Congratulations on the arrival of Noah, Alex and Emma. ❤️🥳🎈
Noah is such a darling. No surprise, given his parentage! The "worst" is now behind you, so just enjoy the new adventure. Share whatever you can in further videos--but be sure to give yourselves a break in posting if you need the rest. You are both an inspiration!
Do you mean Noah?
Couldn't agree more, you've got a very important time ahead of you, just keep us informed from time to time, regular postings aren't necessary, Emma will be an amazing Mum I'm sure of it.
Omg.....I cried....having a baby is terrifying, exhilarating, amazing......all the feels and the human body is amazing! I was so scared for you all. As a Mom of 4...I have experienced these scarey moments and so glad you are on the other side...sending blessings to all of you and a lifetime of wonderful moments of love.
Emma is always funny even in tough situations.. .. her everyday smile defies a myth of pregnant women's rant.....
So glad all is well, little Noah is healthy, and Emma survived a very scary postpartum experience. Congratulations to the whole Bean family!💗
I'm so happy you're still here Emma, thank everything for the medical staff and life saving technology. We forget so often that childbirth can take life as well as give. Congratulations to you, Alex, and little Noah. You made it!
Alex, I remember 30 years ago sitting alone in the delivery room with my son (1st born) when the Dr's took my wife away, you are so right, elated and terrified at the same time. 30 years later, that new born boy is travelling around the world in his self built 4x4 camper. The Bean team are going to have sooo much fun together. Congrats to you all 🍾🥂👍
Congratulations 🎉 super happy for you guys. Love to you both and that sweet baby. I'll have to send a toy koala or kangaroo. Love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
Emma in full blown labor and she still looks absolutely beautiful. I was looking pretty shabby when I had my babies. Congratulations you both!
Another TH-cam baby! It is such a delight to watch the little ones grow up and develop. My kids are in their forties, settled and independent so 'sharing' a baby growing up and going through the stages of the youngster's early days is such a delight. I wish you all the best for your family. A massive big thank you for sharing.
I am the same. My child is grown and out on her own so I enjoy seeing the babies and little ones grow.
I too shed a tear of happiness and remembrance for both my children's very different births... the second child almost disappeared down the toilet when I arrived at the hospital, but they didnt take "action "when I said "I am having a baby".... "Just go to the toilet dear" and next minute with the alarm activated the nurses were saying "oh ... you ARE HAVING THE BABY.".. "er yesssss". The dear child hardly waited for me to be horizontal... the rest was not so good as I lost 3.5 stone over night! She ran many rings around me in her childhood and adolescence! I still love her like the day she was born!
You will remember this day and celebrate in all the years to come with Noah....AND how nice to have footage .... He is so sweet.... the miracle of new life - with tears of joy one couldn't help be in awe and happy for the bean pods!
Being a Dad is ok, but being a Grandad is absolutely brilliant!
This was really moving. I cannot imagine the stress, angst and utter joy you have been through.
Sat here in tears , what an emotional up and down episode this was , I’m 46 year old man and my sons 17 and this brought back so many forgotten memories about his birth . Glad the outcome is all good , you three are such loved and I’m looking forward to seeing your family of three travel videos xxx
How wonderful to meet Noah and learn of Emma’s bleeding episode!
A wonderful story. I enjoyed traveling with my babies, 3 children, and seeing the world through their eyes. I'm looking forward to seeing the world through your eyes watching Noah.
Congratulations to you both. I was a student nurse and saw a lady bleeding following birth and it is so scary and a very good reason to have a hospital birth! Wishing you a speedy recovery Emma, you’re going to have so much fun with Noah when he’s a bit older, best experience of my life. My son is 22 now and I have no idea where the time went - enjoy every second x
Congratulations on Noah’s safe arrival. It’s been a privilege to share your journey, and I wish you all the happiness in the world as a family of 3.
so happy for you all, thanks for tacking me along for the ride!!! :)
I fully expected her to be driving to the hospital! Haha.
I’m glad you got that special bonding time with your little…and so relieved Emma is safe and sound.
Congratulations (please take that time to stay in your new born bubble)
Welcome to this world, Noah! And congratulations, Beans!
Yes, giving birth is rarely going on as we planned. It humbles us and prepares us for this endless and greatest journey of our life - the parenting journey. All other journeys get bleak in comparison.
You got this. The love both of you share, the patience, and the goodness you show to each other - will help you on the way. You are going to laugh, cry, rejoice, and bless each other each and every day. A child is the greatest miracle we can receive. Be good stewards of this gift, because Noah deserves the best.
Congrats guys, welcome to the Baby Bean! In no time he'll be crawling, then walking, and then he'll be a runner Bean!👍 😃
Congratulations! For me the birth of my daughter was the new beginning of my life.
Emma you did an amazing job and the joy on your faces when little Noah was born was beautiful to witness. I can imagine how poor Alex must have felt when you Emma being whisked away to theatre so soon after being proud of witnessing the birth of your son and you too Emma not knowing what was happening. So glad you three were soon reunited. So nice to have a video of the birth in my day that was not done and I wish I had the privilege of having the birth of all my 5 children on camera. Glad to see the Travel Bean family together.
Crazy, after watching you for years (on my wife's account) it felt like we were watching our family going through this! Huge congratulations 👶
Awww!!! I cried from the last moments together on the couch until the end. How beautiful (and scary)! Glad mom and baby are well. Congratulations and welcome to the world Noah!! ❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations on the birth of Noah! As a mum and a midwife, can I say Emma - you absolutely rocked it, well done! So glad you are recovering well after such a scary time, thank you for sharing such a personal and beautiful video. Noah is a very lucky boy x
Welcome to the world Noah. I have loved watching you guys and look forward to this next chapter in your lives. You are going to be awesome parents. Noah is one lucky little dude. Nadine, Australia
I'm not crying.....you're crying! Thank you so much for sharing that with us. So thankful both Emma and Noah are doing well. Alex you were the best support for Emma. You make a beautiful family. Looking forward to all of the moments to come. Congratulations again, and all the best to you Beans. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Did not expect to have a little window into Noah’s birth story. I think you did a great job filming the process. Emma welcome to motherhood. Giving birth for the first time is a transformative event in a women’s life. One child will fit nicely into the parent’s lifestyle so I know there will be loads of fun adventures to come. Congratulations to you both and best wishes from New Zealand
This was such a beautiful video!! The journey is just beginning and I can’t wait to see where you go next ❤. Also, Emma is the most beautiful postpartum mum I have ever seen!! Congratulations!!
Both of you are really fortunate to have each other. Same is your child. You will definitely be good parents
NoahBean! Great name for a handsome baby. Emma just glows and looked SO BEAUTIFUL during her delivery! Wow just stunning, in a wholesome way. So very happy for you all, thanks for sharing this with us!
Worked in Ob/Gyn for a couple of years, and I can confirm - it's not always easy. [*Understatement*] Much love to all three Collins's. Get some rest!
So cute… congratulations to the new parents
OMG guys, cried through most of that!!! So moving and emotional. Firstly though, congratulations on the birth of beautiful Noah - he's absolutely gorgeous. Hope Emma is recovering well. Enjoy every single moment with your boy - time goes so quickly. Also, this is the time you realise why sleep deprivation is used as torture :)... Rest up, sleep when Noah sleeps and try to have at least one hot cup of tea/coffee a day. Sending much love to you all... Congrats again
Guys!!!! Thank you so so much for sharing your experience. Emma, I’m sorry it was difficult but I’m sure it’s Noah worthy. Alex, we love you all. Thank you again for sharing 💙💜💙
Congratulations on having the most beautiful “Beanie Baby”! Wishing y’all the absolute best!
Not to be concerned, many of the channel I follow have had babies. I find the addition of wee ones adds dimension to the life stories. Congratulations 🎉
Touch to tears ❤️ waiting for my daugther to deliver The 2 nd grandchild any moment.
Such a miracle ❤
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this tumultuous Journey with us! We would have been lost without it!
Thank you for allowing us to hear your story. Noah is a handsome little man and he chose his parents very well. Cannot wait to see what adventures you three get up to. Gentle hugs to you all.
Wow! Congratulations Beans! That was an emotional one to watch. So glad you are okay Emma. Enjoy every second of little Noah. He is absolutely adorable ❤❤❤🏴
Your next chapter will be the best ever! ❤ Enjoy every moment with that precious baby.
I feel privileged to have been a part of this emotional yet wonderfully scary and blessed event! I am thanking God that you’re all ok and I am so thrilled for you both on the birth of you son Noah ! Congratulations!! I send you all much love!
Welcome to the world baby Noah (virtual crowd goes wild). Congratulations to you both and your families. Thank you for sharing your experience in such a dignified manner. Wooohooooooo.
Omg guys, I was in tears, the highs,the lows and then thank the lord all good. Congratulations, I wish all of you the best,❤️❤️❤️
First of all, congratulations! Noah is a little precious dolly pie. I'm so thankful you had good care. That is such a scary situation! Don't forget to thank God for his wonderful care for you!
Welcome to the new Baby Bean, Noah. Alex, some of the shots you captured tugged at the heartstrings and brought a tear of remembrance to this old guy’s eyes. Well-done all of you!
Wow, what an emotional roller coaster. Thank you for sharing your beautiful boy’s arrival with us! Much love to you all.
What a moving video. Thank you so much for choosing to share it. Congratulations guys.
What a tear jerker. So glad everything went well in the end. Congrats on the baby bean ❤
