Hey guys, this will be the first time I (Morgan) have watched this. I won’t lie, I’m still very much processing everything and I know this will not be easy for me to watch. But my hopes in sharing this video is that this helps any momma out there feel less alone in the fact that their plans did not go the way they thought when it came to the birth of your child. And that what matters is that we made the brave choice to do whatever it was going to take to get our baby here safely. ❤

I love you guys, r4eally happy for you, you are both such gentle souls
@@remy3522 Lol don't be crazy.
@@remy3522 how ignorant and idiotic is your comment? A mother just gave birth to her baby alongside with her supportive husband who didn’t take this process lightly at all ANNND this is what you have to say…So I’m assuming your comment just gave her the peace you’re so strongly protesting for.
Have some respect for people’s family, you don’t say everything you think because you feel like it. Your comment is insensitive and everything dark under the sun, they just entered a new space as newly parents who has faithfully waited for this miracle for a very long time, this is not the time for rubbish assumptions.
If a person cannot be supportive and considerate at this time, please say nothing.
Have some sense.
@@goldenliz3321 right !
I can feel your pain not getting the home birth you imagined. 😞but you remained strong and knew that God is good and now Luca is here! Praise the Lord. I fully believe you will get the home birth you imagine, it may just be with your 2nd or 3rd baby. 🤍
Why did your midwife wait that long to have you go to the hospital? How scary. Things could have been drastically different if you went after 24 hrs.
I’m an RN who worked in L&D. The hard and fast rule is: If baby isn’t delivered 24 hours after the water breaks, you take the baby by whatever means necessary. I can’t imagine what that midwife was thinking, but it makes me furious that she allowed this to happen. It’s inexcusable.
It’s weird. He’s an A 🚌 ER
Getting in water after 42 hours after the water breaks is a recipe for infection. Sorry you all had a rough path but im glad you had a positive outcome
herbs for induction.. research these yourself but these are not without side effects. the black cohosh thins your blood and can cause hemorrhage. no membrane sweeps should have been happening or getting in the water after water broke. was temp being monitored every hour as well? castor oil just depleted your and brought you to exhaustion and dehydration maybe cause fetal stress too.
Yes yes yes yes. All this! This midwife is awful!!!!! My jaw hit the floor when she told her to take castor oil. So dangerous SO DANGEROUS!
It’s like a list of what not to do
To all those new moms… castor oil is not recommended as it causes dehydration, and the pain you feel is most possibly diarrhea pain as it is a laxative… for my first pregnancy whilst waiting to go into active labour, the doctor warned do not take castor oil, also if your water breaks don’t wait that long , you’re losing amniotic fluid which protects the baby.. so the longer you wait and the more you lose and you’re just increasing risk… thank God for His mercy in ensuring that Luca was safe 🙏🏽
I know his birth didn’t go how y’all desired, but your situation is the type that makes me thankful for doctors and modern medicine! I had two natural births in a birthing center and know how quickly things can go south. And how scary it feels when you don’t know what’s happening. So so thankful for a good outcome for you guys! 🙏🏼🥹💗 Mama and baby are healthy and safe. Thank you Jesus! And Morgan, you are a Rock star!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
❤️❤️🙏
I’m glad you were at a good birthing center. I know there are some that, unfortunately, discourage going to the hospital.
How do you find birthing centers and are they staffed with medical professionals or only midwife’s?
@@minimalassembly7893 Mist birthing centers are staffed by certified nurse midwifes, especially if they have a hospital affiliation. Certified Nurse Midwifes are the most educated type of midwife, and are the ONLY type midwifes that anyone should be employing to help deliver their baby, as they are the only type of midwife required to go through intensive formal education and medical training, with years of experience, and are the only midwifes capable and certified to administer necessary medications and interventions, such as IV fluids, antibiotics, pitocin, and even can administer certain types of pain medication, they know exactly what signs to look for in monitoring, and are essentially the second best thing to an actual obstetrician. For this reason, Certified Nurse Midwives are the ONLY type of midwife that a hospital will employ, as CNMs ARE medical professionals, unlike other midwives who are not and who do not go through the same level of training nor do they have the capabilities to provide medical interventions. CNMs typically only handle healthy mothers with healthy pregnancies who want to have natural births, whether that is in the hospital, in a birthing center, or at the parents home. They can handle minor to moderate complications during labor and delivery, but will hand the patient off to an obstetrician once the patient has a more serious complication or if the patient wants or needs more medical interventions (such as an epidural, needing a c-section, or needing more procedural delivery methods like forceps).
CNMs can be found working in hospitals, birthing centers, as well as doing home births. What you have available to you is very much dependent on your location, as different states have different laws, hospitals may not always have them on staff (though it is becoming more common thankfully), and birth centers may not be readily available to everyone, especially in more rural areas away from big cities and big hospitals. You can try looking up on google if you have any birthing centers in your area, or you could also call your local hospitals or OB and see if they know of any birthing centers that they are familiar with that staff CNMs. You can also ask if they employ CNMs at their hospital that can manage your care and your birth inside of the hospital instead of an OB, so that you get the benefits of a midwife in a hospital setting. I would not recommend going to any birth centers that do not staff CNMs, and it’s also heavily preferable if they have close hospital affiliations so that it is easy to transfer you in the event that you need more medicalized care. Some hospitals are even starting to create their own birth centers staffed by their own CNMs, often connected to the hospital, inside the hospital, or located right next to the hospital. That is exactly what one of the hospitals near me did several years ago, and it is a fantastic option for mothers who still want a home birth feel to their birth, without the additional risk of being further away from a hospital in the event of complications.
Hopefully that helps answer your question. The short of it is, Midwives CAN be medical professionals IF they are a CNM, but a midwife who is NOT a CNM is NOT a medical professional. CNMs are more comparable to a Nurse Practitioner, are professionally trained/educated, and have abilities all other midwives do not. Be careful to not be tricked by midwives who label themselves as “certified” and are not actually a Certified NURSE Midwife (CNM), because they are two VERY different things. Unfortunately, the US does not have adequate regulation when it comes to who can call themselves a midwife, as not all midwives are created equal. So if you choose the midwife route, regardless of the setting/place of birth, only stick to CNMs, as they are the only type of midwife fully capable of keeping you and your baby as safe and healthy as possible with all of the necessary training and ability to perform necessary, potentially life saving, interventions for you and your baby.
@@BhappyD very helpful and thorough information. Thank you!
Castor oil makes me cringe 😬 as a labor and delivery nurse I have seen so many babies in distress after moms take castor oil to induce and I would never ever recommend it.
What do you mean by in distress? newborns seem to be distressed in general so I’m not sure I understand what you mean by distressed
@@Songsbymaggie since it causes diarrhea in the mother it can cause diarrhea in the baby so then the baby is more likely to inhale meconium.
And how babies do you see go into distress from pitocin or cytotec? I would bet a lot more.
One of the things that hit me the hardest in this video was seeing Paul when he first held Luca. He looked shell shocked. It’s so hard to encounter the clash of newborn joy with the anguish of a traumatic birth. Morgan, your strength throughout this video is a testament to God’s work in you. Why this had to be so difficult, I don’t know, but He absolutely does and you pushed through His plan oh so beautifully. Congratulations!
Oh Paul and Morgan, I’m crying with you guys. Tears of sadness for your hardship and mourning over the complications, which led to leaving home, but also tears of joy that morgan is healthy and that you guys are now parents!
What a blessing!
Thank you for sharing guys. So so beautiful to watch.
❤️❤️🥲
I have a question was your midwife a CNM or CPM? There is a big difference. A CNM is a RN (a registered nurse) who was then trained as a midwife. A CPM is not qualified in the same way.
I’m a CPM. Most CNMs practice in the hospital and CPMs at home. We know everything a L&D nurse knows (plus more about nutrition, herbs and lifestyle than they are taught) except how to give pharmaceutical drugs.
@@MidwifeJayde whoever this was was misguided in their training.
Licensed person wouldn’t have let anyone take castor oil. Pitocin is better.
I thought someone should go to the hospital when their water breaks in the absence of contractions
I truly think you got the wrong midwife... Sorry you had to go through that.. pray you find the right one next time
I cried watching. This is so similar to my experience just two weeks before you. Though I was in the hospital the whole time, I went almost 48 hours after my water broke, got a horrible infection, baby girl got stuck at 10 cm and we ended up having to have a c section. We almost didn't make it. God kept you guys safe, just as he did me and my baby. I am so happy for you guys. Please give yourself time to heal, be okay to be on the couch with your sweet little man and just take him in. I really struggled with the healing process after surgery and not being able to do as much as I wanted but it's so important to heal and it does get easier. Paul, my husband also really struggled seeing me go through so much pain, give yourself time to mentally heal as well, nobody can prepare you for this experience and what comes after. You guys did great and the peace of the Lord and His presence was clear. I know you will mourn that the birth didn't go as you hoped but you did the right thing. We will continue to pray for you as you heal and enjoy the sweetest blessing. He is such a cutie! 💛💛
Praise The Lord for keeping you and precious baby safe!! ❤️❤️
Similar to one of my moms births too. She’s had several home births one ended in C-section because baby was frank breach and then the one like yours her water had been broken for awhile(~12 hours) and she had a high temp and suspected infection so they went to the hospital where she had a c-section. But baby was in the NICU for 10 days due to the infection😢
Wow, thank you for sharing Madison and praise God for bringing you through❤️🙏 Wow
@@Motherswatering so scary! I hope everyone is okay now! 🙏
Luckily my baby girl did great after, she had to be resuscitated right after birth and was at only a 1 on the apgar which is terrifying but after that she passed all her tests and was cleared for discharge the next day! 🙏 I had to stay quite a bit longer but so thankful she did so well!
@@PaulandMorgan thank you guys for sharing your experience! It really is so helpful to others in similar situations 💛
As a now single mom of a 4 year old, watching this makes my heart happy. I was married to a narcissist so I wasn't able to enjoy my pregnancy or even my son's birth. The only relief I had was after I filed for divorce and left. But seeing the two of you go through this amazing journey, makes my heart so happy. God Bless the 3 of you 🙏🏻❤️
Paul and Morgan, thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful, vulnerable, personal, and raw moment, with us. I cried tears of sadness and joy of course in the end. I’m not a mom, not even married. I was the product of a single parent. My mom went into labor and did so for 23 hours… alone. So watching Morgan go into labor, and experience it with a loving and supportive husband by her side, is a truly beautiful thing. What you’ve displayed is the true PARTNERSHIP of marriage designed by our good God! Paul, I admire your strength, your Love for Morgan, for your family. You’re going to be the BEST father! Morgan, I look at you like a little sister in Christ. I know you’re mourning the home birth you wanted so badly. But as Christians, you know how it is, when we surrender to the Lord, we even surrender moments like this. Watching this, I can see how God moved to protect you. He knew that you were in distress, and He wanted to be sure, you’d be alive and well to hold your precious boy in your arms. So things had to happen a little differently. It doesn’t make it any less wonderful. If anything, THIS is a true testimony of the beautiful unwavering faith you have in our Lord. Little Luca has quite the story already! I was messaging Paul all through the labor letting him know I was praying heavily for you, and I still am. I’ve always admired you guys, and now I admire you even more. I wish I could hug you all and tell you how incredible you are. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story with us. May God continue to protect and bless you always. Hugs and Love from NYC ❤
You couldn’t have said this any more perfectly! God is a God full of grace, full of mercy, full of faithfulness. In John, Jesus responds to Simon Peter “You don’t realize what I am doing but later you will understand”. God is not lacking in his promises, and watching this video, I cried so much because I can see the goodness of God! Even in the midst of disappointment, distress and confusion, his spirit was still present with you! Where can we flee from his presence? He is and will always be with you, and ALL things work together for the good of those that love him and are called according to his purpose. Right now, I plead the blood of Jesus over baby Lucas, Paul and Morgan. I pray that you Jesus will send your ministering angels to protect them. I pray that Morgan will have a speedily recovery and that she will be a testament of your love and kindness. May you give them a spirit of joy and laughter and may peace be their portion. I pray for spiritual and physical rest, I pray for strength, I pray that you will surround them with love. I denounce every attack of the enemy, every wolf in sheep’s clothings, anything that is not like you.I come against it now in the name of Jesus! May you be forever glorified for you alone are God. You have no rival and you have no equal. For they are yours, and you are theirs. Let it be so, In Jesus name! LOVE YOU BOTH! Amen.
Awww Christina, thank you so much for the love and encouragement. Amen❤️🥲
This comment summed up everything I thought to write ✍🏽
Morgan I had a very similar first labor - almost identical actually, no infection but almost every other aspect and ended in a c-section. For a long time I cried whenever I told the story. But with my second baby I had a vbac!! Do not be afraid for your next labor, you can do it and don’t let the fear stifle your joy. ❤
Also, don’t let anyone shame you about the castor oil. I did the same thing with my second labor (about 24 hours after my water was broken) and I was fine. People want to fear-monger and make you feel dumb but honestly..castor oil is not the end of the world. It’s literally one small factor in a mess of circumstances and variables. Women do it all the time and are perfectly fine.
Seeing the date of birth, I just realized he was born the day after my grandma passed away. It's special to me to remember that even as older people are leaving, God is bringing new ones into this world :)
Aww amen🙏
Erika, so sorry for your lost!
That's just nature not God.
@@lemsip207found the unempathetic pick me atheist
@@Jess_ica2927 I found the pick me unempathic fundamentalist xtian in you.
Hey guys. I couldn’t resist writing a message. I’m an atheist and found you through Mr Atheist. Even though your beliefs are completely contrary to mine, I have started to follow you.
I am constantly amazed by the power and resilience of birthing women and Morgan was no exception. Such amazing strength, I’m in awe! I’m sorry this birth wasn’t what you planned, but you guys took it in your stride and little Luca is finally here! I am pleased for you that your trust in God has helped you through this difficult time, even though I don’t believe in it myself. Hope you both recover and enjoy these first few weeks with your new baby boy.
Much love x
I am so grateful that Luka and Morgan are safe and healthy. Thank God that the doctors were able to manage this difficult labor. It must have been so scary. I know that my birth story was not my ideal, but it’s amazing that God provides us with trained doctors, nurses, and hospitals in case of emergency.
🙏❤️
Congratulations for bringing Luca into the world!! Even though it didn't go as planned, our heavenly Father was with y'all every step of the way. I just wanna give Morgan a big ole hug!!
For reasons like this, my husband won't allow a home birth and we're 30 min from the hospital.
Any good midwife would NOT tell her patient to take caster oil it is not safe.. this midwife is awful
It’s fine
@@heyitsme881not really, it's not a way to help with labour
Genuine question without sarcasm…. why are you guys thanking the midwife (who did not do what was medically appropriate several times and failed you) and not the doctors and nurses who saved morgan and luca? You understand that her and/or luca would have actually died without the hospital right? Things wouldn’t suddenly get better. One or both legitimately, 100%, would have died. It makes me really sad that you wouldn’t thank the doctors. God gave us the gift of modern medicine. Use it.
Just editing to add that I hope my comment doesn’t come off as rude because what you went through was horrible. I don’t think any shaming is productive. The situation is just sad. I hope you understand where I’m coming from.
I 100% agree with you. So many red flags just totally beyond what makes sense. God would want you to be grateful for those who save you and your baby’s life
Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy! You absolutely did the right thing. Thank God for modern technologies, he sent doctors and knowledge to deliver Luca and keep Morgan healthy. Beautiful to see new dad Paul cry holding him, and Morgan holding him too. I know it isn't the birth you wanted, but we're all just happy to see you healthy.
❤️❤️
man I just wanted to hug you both! so thankful for God's hand being upon you all, as difficult as it was to see that in the moment, He was there. I had my 4th baby 6 wks ago, had planned a home birth but ended up in hospital, turns out our little Grace could have passed away during the birth process if things had happened any other way, she is a miracle. God is good. you are very brave for sharing your experience! I think people will love you both even more for seeing you at your most vulnerable. Morgan, you were incredible, so, so strong and Luca is beautiful. Enjoy being a family of three, there is nothing more precious. The Lord bless you and keep you all xx
What a testimony to watch you guys years ago pray for a baby and now I’m watching this video! Couldn’t help but shed a tear. God is faithful. I pray for a good recovery Morgan and pray God abundantly restores everything you may have feel you lost in the change of plans. Thank you for sharing this, I’m a NICU nurse and understand how much things can change and interrupt what you desired / wanted. And it was amazing to see you guys bring God into it so much. Such an amazing testimony of both of your faith!!
Your baby is beautiful (not biased, he’s actually very cute!!) Congratulations xx
Oh Morgan! That moment when he stopped crying when he heard your voice 😭 I'm so sorry that things did not happen the way you anticipated but I'm so encouraged by how ya'll responded to it and how you trusted the Lord through it all.
I had four deliveries at hospitals and all of them went well with knowledgeable doctors and sweet nurses. My babies were all big and I could easily have needed an emergency C section. I didn't need one but I was less stressed knowing that in minutes I could be in an operating room. Many things can happen suddenly in birth. It seems that some people view a hospital birth when a home birth was planned as some kind of failure. All that matters is healthy mom
and baby. In regards to prayer - prayer isn't about us praying for the perfect life WE want, it's about getting in line with God and living the life that He wants for us. Sometimes along the way, there is sadness and difficulty but God is always doing what is BEST for his people.
Wow, Morgan you are incredible and powered through until the end! My first born was also a c-section so I understand the emotions and disappointment, but it shows what sacrifices Mothers make to ensure our little ones get here safely. I pray your experience gave you strength as a couple in the Lord with the pain, doubt and fear. Paul was also an incredible birth partner, I’m so happy for you both, such a beautiful and blessed family unit ❤
I just first want to say how excited I am for you guys! You have a precious baby boy; thank God he gave you the right people to make sure he arrived safely and Morgan was tended to in the safest way. You both did so well throughout the process of encouraging each other and giving glory to God.
Second, I’m sorry it didn’t go as you had hoped it would; any feelings of sadness about unexpected changes to your birth plan are valid and I hope you don’t feel any guilt in it. Your body tried to protect Luca by digressing and you were in a facility equipped to handle the changes. I’m praying you’re able to process the birth trauma and fear you likely had; it’s more common than people make it out to be. You’re not alone and so many people are rooting for and praying for your precious family.
Seeing Paul and Morgan holding their son for the first time brought such joy to my heart! God was with you through all of this and he still is! Congratulations mama and daddy!!
🙏🙏❤️
From hoping and praying for you guys to get pregnant to seeing God's glory come to fruition was truly a blessing. I pray nothing but joy, peace and love for your family going forward. God really carried you in the palm of his hands. Lastly congratulations and God bless.
Don’t you need intervention (like pitocin) after 24 hours after the water breaks, due to increase stress on baby and increased risk of infection?
There is really no increase risk of infection as long as nothing penetrates the woman. I.e. no need to check her cervix or put anything inside of her vagina.
Crying over here, gosh. 😢 Congratulations to you both. This was one of the more emotional, yet beautiful births I have had the privilege of watching. Morgan, I felt so bad when you were laying there getting a c section, as I know that was far from what you wanted, but you know what, for whatever reason, this was the way it happened and your labor and delivery is still so special. Nobody’s is exactly the same and this was your story. I’m happy for you guys, now enjoy your little family. ❤
❤️🥲
I never thought I would mourn someone else’s birth with them but also be so happy for them at the same time. When I say I cried. Praise God you are all safe and healthy and back home. I pray for continual healing. I love you all. 🤍
Baby comes first having a home birth might seem nice but it’s like playing Russian roulette with your baby take it from someone like me who lost there baby at 22 weeks due to an infection. Shit can go wrong real fast where you can have just moments to respond.
You guys! I have been checking instagram everyday to see your updates. Welcome sweet Luca! He is perfect. My heart ached to see what you all went through to bring him into the world. That midwife did you wrong by not getting you help sooner. So sad for that. I just delivered by midwife 7 weeks ago and it was such a good experience. Yours should have been. But God can redeem anything. Enjoy your sweet new little one. Praying for you, Morgan, as you recover. What we women go through giving birth is a miracle. Thankful that God brought you through
Wow watching your video moved me to tears. I was praying for you in the middle of the night during those long times of labor, because I was following your Instagram constantly. I am amazed at how long you hung in there before you had to face the dreaded C-section. Praise God for safe C-sections when things don’t work normally. I had a surprised C-section after my 7 th baby’s cord prolapsed. It’s ok that Luca had to come out that way. What matters is that Luca arrived safe and sound. God was there protecting you both. When Paul held Luca for the first time and he cried I cried with him! Sooo happy for you both CONGRATULATIONS!!!🙏🏻💙🎉
With my second, I promised myself it would be different and I would be more prepared. I was told at 35 weeks that I had gestational diabetes and that the baby was HUGE. My doctor asked me to schedule a c section and I was devastated and so scared. After praying a lot, I scheduled one. He ended up weighing 10 lbs 5 oz and my doctor said there was no way at all he would have fit through my pelvis. It was in that moment again that despite my pain and fear, I saw God's hand keeping me safe once again. I look now at my two healthy babies and my health with no long term issues and I praise God for his prompting and his love of ALL of us.
When you get a c section do you have to get an epidural? Or what anesthetic
Morgan, what an absolute warrior you are!! I know the feeling of things not going as planned. I too had to mourn my birthing wishes when my water broke with no contractions. You handled it beautifully, and did what was best for you and your babe! I’m sorry it didn’t go the way you planned. So precious to see you enjoying your sweet baby Luca❤️
Waiting 24+ hrs since water breaks?
Castor oil?
So bad and against best practice.
Love, an L &D nurse in California
I’m glad everyone is ok! I always thought it was setting some people up for disappointment to call it a “birth plan.” Births usually don’t go as planned, things can change moment to moment & you never know when a medical emergency will arise. Even a mother with no risk factors can end up needing emergency medically intervention in a home birth, or even hospital. Again, I’m glad/relieved you’re all ok!
I agree. Maybe "birth plan wishes" or "birth wishes". No two births are the same.
This made me so emotional. I started thinking of when I gave birth to my baby last year. So happy for you guys. Morgan you were really strong and Paul very supportive and encouraging. Praise the Lord for your baby boy and welcome to the (outside) world Luca ❤
You are a trooper Morgan. You don't complain at all and are so sweet to everyone while giving birth. Idk how you do it!
😊❤️❤️
I'm so sorry things didn't go as you wanted, and that they got scary even! I was definitely praying for you all and am so grateful God brought you all through. May He continue His healing over your birth! Congratulations! He is so beautiful, and Morgan, you did such an amazing job. No one could ask for more from you. I'm about to have my second baby anytime now, and this just reminds me of how Beautiful that moment is when you meet your little one for the first time. ❤
You're both Champs for going through all that you have been through in the last couple weeks! You have a gorgeous baby boy, and my heart is so happy for you all! 💙
Oh man Morgan 🥺 I’m watching this and feeling so much empathy for you.. you’re such a strong mama! I’m so blessed by the way you both were still so positive and believing God to still come though in a supernatural way! I’m so happy you and baby boy are healthy and okay! 🥺❤️
❤️❤️🥲
Man, this video got me super emotional lol. Crazy all you guys went through, but SO glad to hear that Luca and Morgan are okay and doing well! Praising God for your blessings, and praying for you all as well. Enjoy this time, it goes quick! Love you guys in Him! Jon
Aww thanks so much bro. Means a lot❤️ Yes, trying to enjoy these days while he’s teeny tiny😊 Much love!
He’s so perfect and I cried watching this. Praise God for the safety and protection over every part of your labor and delivery! Love you guys! Welcome Baby Luca!
Wow, what a journey! I’m so sorry things didn’t go to plan, had no idea how serious things got! But Morgan was INCREDIBLE throughout! I can’t imagine how scary it all must’ve been, but God is so good and I’m so happy you’re all safe and well. Well done ALL of you ! Couldn’t stop crying at the end, welcome to the world Luca Grace!💕
I'm in tears. I'm praising God for the safety of everyone. This brought back memories of my first of three births. My birth plan didn't go as planned, in any way, with my first but God has truly blessed and healed me from it all. I'm so happy for ya'll.
Oh my goodness. I'm so sorry this was your birth experience, Morgan. I'm happy you are okay. It warmed my heart to see Paul covering and supporting you thought-out this. Congratulations on your little bundle of joy.
❤️🙏
aw you guys he is absolutely perfect!!!! Morgan my heart broke for you. Don't ever feel like you failed you did an amazing job. You did what you had to do to take care of that baby and you did it perfectly. You handled those contractions beautifully too! Welcome to the world baby Luca! You are so very loved and we are all praying for you guys!
Just goes to show, everyone’s body is so soooo different….some women have their water break and they’re giving birth within the hour with minimal pain naturally, and others cannot and will never be able to give birth naturally. If it wasn’t for modern medicine and hospitals so many moms and babies would die during labor. It can be super dangerous. Praise the Lord that baby Luca was born safely and healthy and that Morgan is safe too.
So happy baby and mama are ok. Beautiful vlog.💙🙏
Congrats Morgan and Paul! ❤️ I just wanted to say that your birth story is beautiful. The joy of the LORD was your strength and I most certainly know that you were both a shining light in the Hospital. No doubt the LORD had plans for you to be a beautiful witness for Him. His ways truly are perfect. Morgan I also wanted to encourage you with regards to future children if and when the LORD blesses you with them. Just remember that every birth is so different. I am currently expecting my 10th baby and I have to say my 1st birth was by far the most challenging. Just don't want you to lose heart. He is good and I know He has a wonderful plan for your family! Luca is a little beauty! God Bless you all! ❤️
Gorgeous little Luca! Mama Morgan is a warrior!! That was a tortuous birth. As much as you guys didn’t want to go to the hospital that midwife should have acted much sooner. Thank God mama and baby are ok! Congratulations God bless!
Your pregnancy seems to have gone so fast I can’t believe he’s here already! Congratulations both of you I know you will be amazing parents ❤️
So glad Morgan and baby Luca are okayy , I can see how that got a little scary. So emotional, crying. You did great Morgan 💜
My 2nd birth (tolac) was wildly similar to this, except I was in active labor for a very long time and in the hospital and baby got stuck. It also ended with a c-section. This brought back memories and made me tear up. 🥺 Even now 2 years post partum, when the memories are painful I lean into God and His goodness, knowing that everything is ordained by Him and even through my two incredibly traumatic births, He was glorified and sustained me through it all, and continues to sustain me.
💗 He is one of the most gorgeous newborn babies I’ve ever seen. Precious new baby 💗
🌸 Birth not going according to plan is a humbling experience. Many of us can relate! 🌸
Hey, thanks so much for the comment❤️ Yes, as painful as the experience was there was beauty in it that is relatable to many :) Hope things are well with you, keep up the good content😊
In my eyes, baby is here safe and healthy. Mom is here, safe and healthy. Birth went exactly as planned. 💫
Wow… What a powerful video! I couldn’t help but cry when Paul was holding Luca, I could literally feel the emotion through the screen! Thank you guys for bringing us along such an intimate journey in your lives and for sharing such a happy, yet hard moment with us. I thank God that Luca is here and he is healthy! Great job Morgan and Paul! ❤️ I will continue praying for you guys for strength and soul deep rest even when it lacks physically! Love you both!
Guys I’m so glad that both mom and baby are healthy. Morgan I went through something so similar in that my water broke and I actually did get an infection and they had to keep my firstborn son in the hospital for seven more days to make sure he didn’t get one. Good news is he never did get it so that was good. I also had to have a C-section and it was a journey to get healed. I have had two more kids since C-sections and those have been so much easier and I have recovered so quickly. The first one is always the hardest. Thank you for sharing guys!❤
Crying tears of joy and empathy with you guys. My own experience with my first was similar in several ways and took me back. I’m so thankful that Morgan and Luca are safe ♥️ May the Lord give you peace as you continue to process everything!
As soon as Paul said 'Hey buddy' I started bawling! Thank you for being so open and vulnerable with us by sharing. Praise and Glory to God for sweet baby Luca and Morgan's safety!
Hey Morgan, absolutely take the time to mourn the birth experience that you didn't get to have! I also planned for a home birth but my water broke at 36 weeks and I had to be induced and delivered my baby prematurely. I know most people just tell you "well good thing you and baby are alive", but when you had those expectations set up for yourself, it's difficult to let go. You are not alone in this, and many women can totally relate to the trauma caused by unplanned events at birth. Sending hugs, take care of yourself!
What happens when your water breaks before time? You cannot then have the baby naturally at home too?
I just wanna have more knowledge about those things.
I am sorry that you didn't get the birth you wanted but I am sure you are now enjoying your kid so much!
@@YFL.111 If it breaks before completed 37 weeks, you go to the hospital. This is a situation that is not physiology, so needs monitoring in a hospital (depending on when in pregnancy this happens there are different solutions). Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes (PPROM) is what it's called, and please please don't diy it and decide for contractions to come while you're at home and don't you dare drink castor oil! Premature babies don't react to things quite like their mature buddies, so you don't know how the baby reacts to you causing an artifficial diarrhea. Any situation that can result in a premature delivery needs you to be at the hospital. But also, don't be afraid of hospitals if this happens! Use your communication skills with the hospital staff! Treat them as your friends, or partners at least, not as your enemies who don't want you to have a good birth. As you can see in Morgan's video, birth is a dynamic situation, and midwifes and OBGYNs are skilled to spot when things can go south. And they're there to make sure whatever odd situation you're in in your pregnancy or birth, you are taken care of. P.S.
@@miszk5690 thanks a lot I really value your information!
Why set yourself up for disappointment which such expectations? You never know how a birth will go.
What a tremendous example of strength and peace you both had during this less than ideal birth.
Praise God for bringing you a healthy and beautiful baby boy.
Wow Morgan, your strength throughout the whole process was amazing. Praying for strength and comfort and peace and healing, both physical, and emotional. 💕
I’m glad that Paul said he wanted his baby AND Morgan healthy. Glad to know there are still people who care about mothers.
If he cared about keeping her healthy he would’ve taken her to the hospital to give birth like a normal rational human being.
It's like a bare minimum💀
Ugh I cried seeing Morgan during the c section 🥺❤️ i also planned for a home birth and ended up in the hospital with a traumatic vaginal birth. My best friend 2 weeks later also had to have an emergency c section. So many of us share in your pain with experiencing birth trauma ❤️ time heals all wounds. Praying for you guys ❤️
❤️🙏
Such a special moment at the end of the video when you've finally got your baby in your arms after such a long journey!! Bringing babies into the world is such a refining process. May you have so much joy together as a family!
You guys are such an inspiration for your realness and your compassion. Morgan, you're such a fighter and you're going to make such a compassionate, vibrant mama. Paul, I commend you for the support you gave your wife and your bravery in staying strong for her. The both of you are a testament to God's goodness and blessings.
Morgan laboring like a pro❤ You both did awesome even when things didn’t go as planned. Praying for peace and rest now!
Ohh the raw emotion wrapped up in this video, had me bawling my eyes out at the end! Brought many memories back when I birthed my daughters, nearly 13 and 8 years ago. This is a masterpiece to cherish forever. God bless you both. and Morgan, an insane amount of respect I have for you. What strength God bestowed upon you to endure such anguish while still being in submission to our great Lord and Savior. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I know this might sound strange but I watched this when it came out and it healed me from my own birth story. It was super traumatic and I’ll leave it at that. Watching you and Paul praise the lord through all this has somehow just been so healing and affirming of the immense gift of your son. Idk how to explain it, but it has healed me so much to watch and has helped heal me from what I went through. Thank you for posting this. I wish I had better words but thank you 🙏.
I’ve had surgery for an ectopic pregnancy just a few days ago. And I’m using this inspiration to get through that. Thank you for your wonderful testimony. Congratulations on your wonderful little son. Morgan you are so strong! And c -sections suck (and that’s a polite word) you take all the time you need to heal ♥️
Thank you for sharing. I am crying with you at the strength of Morgan and the grief that comes with not having the birthing plan that you prayed and prepared for. Love you guys 🙏🏽❤️
It was encouraging to see how much joy and laughter you both had even despite the circumstances. That’s the “peace that surpasses all understanding” that the Bible talks about.
I’m also so glad you were able to have such a supportive team with you in the hospital including those were already attending your home birth as well as the sweet staff at the hospital. That in itself is a miracle in my eyes. 🙏🏼
Amen, in the trials there were many blessings❤️
Crying! What beautiful strength and love you both showed! What a hard, but precious moment caught on camera, when Paul could hardly leave Morgan's side to see their new baby. It really showed the beautiful love and care for each other. So happy to hear mama and baby are well! I'm so sorry it was such a hard experience. I hope over time, as you heal, you'll be able to see more and more God's hand on all 3 of you through the whole process, and that it will help to heal from the trauma. He was there in the midst of it all
Such a beautiful family. Sending healing prayers for you Morgan and such deep respect for your faithful witness. God is so good and in the midst of trial you both chose to share something that will be so helpful to so many mama's who may also feel discouraged about plans changing. Thankyou for loving Jesus so hard and choosing to be in the word while facing the pain of the world. Deepest congratulations to a precious son and daughter of the King and this sweet miracle he has blessed you to share life with. You are so loved and Morgan a warrior mama! Such grace while showing the strength of a mama bear even before little man arrived. Blessings to you. 😘
😭 Keep staying strong. There will be (if it hasn't happened yet) moments when you just weep when the emotions come flooding back but it's okay. You know you're truly blessed and when you feel like questioning whether God heard you or not, just hold that baby boy and thank your Heavenly Father for that blessing 💕 It's been 3 years since my traumatic pregnancy with my twins and I still have moments when I cry but I am so thankful. God bless you 3 and congratulations 🥺🥰
Awww the diarrhea and vomiting is so risky that late in pregnancy 😅 you must’ve been sooo dehydrated between the two…I’m so glad you two are safe.
What an absolutely amazing, incredibly challenging birth. I definitely cried when Paul held Luca, and even more when Morgan did. You guys are so very strong. I just wanted to take a moment to say that Luca's entrance into the world is just as valid and beautiful whether a C-section or vaginal, and that it's okay to grieve the birth you desired.
Praying for you all and thankful for God's provision in all of this. 💕
Thank you, Maya❤️🥲
So did I. An incredible moment.
@@PaulandMorgan 💞💞💞
Wow ❤❤❤❤❤❤ God is amazing. I remember a year ago being in the kitchen of my home in Portugal praying because Morgan was sharing about your infertility journey and now a year on God answering prayer in a powerful way 🥲🥲🥲🥲🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sobbing!!! I’m so happy and thankful you guys have your precious boy and you are both healthy. That was beautiful to watch. I’m so sorry it didn’t go as planned and will be praying for you as you process and heal 💓
This is the most realistic and authentic birth vlog I’ve seen on TH-cam, I cried real tears, nose snot and everything.
Motherhood is beautiful, Fatherhood is beautiful to see how present Paul was all throughout…He’s an amazing dad already, thank you for supporting this birth journey.
Thank you Paul and Morgan for allowing us to witness such intimate and beautiful moment, Luca is indeed blessed. I pray God continues to grace you for this new journey, even if it didn’t go as planned, God is still God and God is still good, the mama and baby are healthy; we praise God entirely.♥️
Aww thank you so much❤️🥲
You’re such a strong and beautiful mama Morgan!!! Thankful the Lord blessed you both with a healthy and sweet baby boy despite going through all the challenges!❤
Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable and special moment in y’all’s life. I know what you faced during the birthing of your precious baby wasn’t at all what you expected, but the consent mention of the lord is so sweet to see. Morgan you are so strong and I’m so sorry that your birthing plan didn’t go as expected I myself went through a very difficult labor with my little girl. She is now one and the lord has been with me each and every step of this last year helping me work through the trauma and disappointment. We don’t know why things happen the way they do but God brings good out of every situation. Keep holding on to the lord. Praise him each and everyday. The lord will see you through everything you face. ❤️
Over here crying tears of joy for you all ❤️ so sorry things didn’t go to plan but praise God for a healthy baby and skilled people in your path. So so happy for you two. He is precious ❤
Thank you guys for being open and raw about child birth! 🙏 prayers for your new little family 😇
It was nice seeing a more sensitive side to Paul. Glad things turned out okay. Congrats
This got me crying! Just to think about your path, and what God has planned for You. Finally little Luca is here and it was all in His perfect timing!❤
Cried my eyes out watching this! You guys are such a beautiful little family! Praying for your healing Morgan! And also for the Lord to bless all three of you. May He keep you and give you strength and wisdom as you raise baby Luca! Congratulations!! 💛💛💛
Oh, I am so heartbroken that this was your experience and I just hope you allow yourselves to process and grieve the loss of the birth you desired and prayed so hard for. Of course, there is joy with little Luca’s presence and Morgan being healthy, and that should also be fully celebrated and felt ❤️ there is a time for all things… to heal, to mourn, and to laugh. I’m glad you’re surrounded by a beautiful support system with lots of helping hands. It’s been beautiful watching this journey and just know you have people out here thinking and praying for you both during this miraculous yet confusing time. ❤
Okay I'm not crying. You're crying 😭
😭❤️❤️❤️
I was definitely crying 😭❤️
Crying 😭 this was absolutely beautiful. You are amazing, Morgan! Praise the Lord for a healthy baby and mama. You guys ran the race and now have the sweetest babe 🤎
My heart aches watching what y’all had to endure. “…weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”Yet, God proved Himself faithful once again! Y’all are in my continued prayers and we praise the Lord with you for your new little boy!💙💙 So happy for you two. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey.
And of course I’m over here balling 😢 great job Morgan you stayed strong through all the twists and turns and baby Luca is so perfect! So happy for you both congrats! 🎉
Aww thank you so much, Nicole🥲❤️
This was a movie! Man I love seeing God at work even when things don't work out the way we plan it, God makes everything beautiful in His time. Congratulations Paul and Morgan and welcome little Luca!♡♡
I had a similar experience with starting at home and needing to be transferred to the hospital. My heart goes out to you but how beautiful is your baby! I’m so happy for you guys. You’ll be wonderful parents and your healing Morgan will be my prayer. C-sections are no joke! Now the adventure of parenting awaits. And so so SO much joy.
Not a dry eye in the house 😭😭 I have so much love for this little family, what a blessing to watch this difficult, beautiful thing happen. Oh so much to say but just know we’ve been praying for you all. Luca is perfect in every way, Morgan and Paul, congratulations!!!
Prayers for physical and emotional recovery. 🙏❤️
I sobbed through this whole thing. My heart hurts for how things went and I am also SO THANKFUL for doctors and hospitals for times like this. But so hurting for you guys and all the trauma poor Morgan had to endure. This was very intense to watch. Little Luca is so sweet and I am so so thankful he and Morgan are safe and healthy ❤️
Aww thanks so much, Mariah❤️❤️
My daughter was born on the very same day, it also didn’t go as planned and ended in a frankly somewhat traumatic c-section. A week and a half later I’m still processing things but most importantly acknowledging that it can be the best day of your life but still be an experience that you need to process and that’s OK!
Aww praise God🙏🙏
I just want to give a shout out to those who were called to the profession of being OB Doctors and Labor/Delivery nurses. A healthy outcome sometimes takes a village, once you went into overtime, your midwife knew where your best outcome would be at a hospital. Hooray for the professional staff who took over and handled the eventual surgery.!
Oh my gosh I was not expecting to cry. I don’t even know you guys but I feel you so much. The natural yet traumatic birthing experience is like no other. I’ve been thru it three times and know first hand how sad it is when your birth plan doesn’t go the way you desired and also how frightening it can become when something seems to go wrong. Bless your midwife for knowing when it was time to go to the hospital. Bless the doctors and nurses that helped you. And above all thank God for a beautiful healthy baby and mommy. Congratulations!
I never cried watching a birth video before, but when the screen cut to black and said Morgan hemorrhaged I cried. I didn’t hemorrhage, but my daughter had fluid in her lungs and needed to be resuscitated. It wasn’t my life in danger but my daughter’s. I remember us all praying and asking God to make her finally breathe. It was a bit traumatic and so unexpected and emotional. My heart goes out to Morgan with her birth story and how trying birth can be. I’m grateful to have witnessed this video of Morgan and see her true raw strength and God given power. I was nervous for my second birth coming up soon but seeing Morgan’s strength in such a trying situation gives me hope I can be just as strong this time around.
