You’re so thoughtful to bring up the trauma unpacked for others while being so grateful for your experience. Shows your emotional intelligence ♥️ so happy for you!
In tears hearing you relay your story with such love and energy Jamie. You are a complete hero 🥹. Romy will one day watch this and be so proud of her mama and feel so loved. It was a total privilege being there for you as you navigated your story 🧡 Emiliana xx
when you said you and your book club were crying i was like “thank god” bc i was crying this whole video. i have been watching you since i was 15 and im 23. it’s crazy to watch your life grow with jack, the dogs, and now you have a daughter. literal tears congrats jamie and jack ❤️
Old labor nurse here! What happened to you those first few days is called “prodromal labor”…it’s your body’s way of trying to figure out the proper timing to get the baby out! I just want to say, I’m so proud of and so happy for you and this new journey you’ve started. It truly is one of the most magical things in life. All the blessings to you, Romy and Jack!
you're the only youtuber whos birth story ive watched from start to finish. ive been a follower for over a decade now. this video made me smile ear to ear. i cant wait to watch Romy grow. she is an angel
I’m sure I speak for so many of your viewers that have been here for years but it is such an amazing, emotional moment hearing you talk about this. So so happy for you all and sending you all so much love ❤️
Watching this was a little bittersweet for me having quite a traumatic birth recently and the first thing about birth I’ve indulged in since, but honestly it was so beautiful to hear of a positive and joyful birth and to see you beaming with pride and joy watching it! Congratulations xx
I’m 5 weeks postpartum from my second baby. I’ve had 2 traumatic births and I don’t realise how much it has affected me until I think back to it or listen to others positive birth stories. I hold no bitterness to those who had great experiences, more grief for the experience I didn’t get. However, I have 2 healthy children come from my experience, even if bad experience - and for that I am grateful as I am still very fortunate compared to some others. I’m so glad you had a great experience, Romy is a beautiful name 😊❤
Lots of love to you Leonnie. I feel the same. It brings up huge grief but I’m also happy for others having a good experience. And having a healthy child is everything. I wish you and your kids every happiness and all the good things ♥️
I have three children and my first birth was perfect. The second came with some problems but my third...it was traumatic to the point I ended up in the ICU fighting for my own life within 3 hours of giving birth. Now I have been told I cannot have any more children and while I'm so grateful for my children the fact my last birth was so horrific has definitely left me with an odd sense of sadness.
I’m on the same boat. I had a traumatic birth with my boy just last year and I still struggle with talking/thinking about my birth. I feel like I was robbed of that beautiful moment of my son being placed on my chest and skin to skin etc. the first person who fed my son was a midwife with a bottle because I was too unwell to be able to. At the end of the day me and my baby made it out alive and well and I guess that’s the main thing but it’s still hard. So yeah I feel you hon 💔 You’re not alone in your feelings 💕
Honestly Jamie, this video just shows what a kind heart you have. Even through the most joyous experience in your life you are thinking of those who didn’t get to experience the same. My little girl will be 1 next month, I had such a traumatic experience which has totally convinced me not to do it again and I am currently receiving EMDR therapy to help me process everything. But even the acknowledgment that you are thinking of people who didn’t have the best of times really warms my heart. Your wee baby girl is amazing! And I also want to say that the Midwives (most of them) at the Princess Royal are absolutely amazing 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Your whole experience was so like mine it really takes me back! The epidural really is magical and made my experience so chilled and positive. Also had smooth radio on, and even a year down listening to certain songs brings back so many emotions 🥹💓 enjoy every minute with your girly. The “baby bubble” is just the best xx
I’m so happy that you’ve ‘normalised’ an epidural during labour. So many times I’ve been told I took the easy way out as I had to have a c-section with both of my children. Keep doing what you’re doing! You’re an inspiration to many. Congratulations and best wishes to you and your new wee family x ✨
I never understand the C section being referred to as the easy way out. A section is a major operation. It's really hard recovering from that and worrying about your baby and you can't drive or lift your baby naturally. To me it's harder
@@Chloe299XxX damn right it is. My friend had twins and I could see the pain she was in. I had my son naturally because I couldn’t lose my independence I was out walking 2 days later like a old lady. I can’t imagine what a c section is like. It was like terrible period cramps I was dying. I fucking applaud woman who had c sections
@@brittbecka8552 I've had 2 C sections. My first C section was emergency and because I went half way through labour my recovery was hard. I had to take morphine. My 2nd c section was planned and my recovery was allot better. I'm currently pregnant with my 3rd child and I'm going to have a planned c section. It isn't easy especially with breast feeding, holding your baby, have to hold a pillow when your laugh or sneeze and having other kids to look after. But in my experience having as much help as you can makes a huge difference in your recovery🤎
I started an infection the day after i came home from a c-section. Had a fever of 103 and was throwing up all cut open like that. Worst pain i have EVER felt. I feel you, mama- c-sections are rough. ❤❤❤
What a beautiful birth story. It makes me so happy. I had my little boy in December and it was traumatic in many ways. As someone who researched everything extensively, and being a nurse myself, it really did not turn out well. Listening to your story is wonderful and I am so glad you have experienced such a beautiful thing. Your happiness just exudes. Love, from one mama to another ❤️
So So Happy, content and a bit emosh watching this… I’ve been excited for it after binging your channel and knowing you already had roomy but was still so excited to get to this part! ❤❤❤
Ooops sorry Romy.. must of been a wee typo earlier and I’m rectifying it because I know how annoying it can be for our children’s names to be spelt or pronounced wrongly 🙈🫶🏻
I don’t know if it’s because I’m a mom or because I love you so much but as soon as you started talking about the first push I ALSO started crying lol. It really is so amazing! I have also have 2 songs that are so special to that whole experience and I dearly love them but it’s so emotional I can barely listen to them without losing it. LOL!! Congrats mommy and daddy and pups! I’m so so happy for you all! Welcome to the world Romy darling!
Your story is beautiful. I had my little boy premature in February by emergency section. I did not get skin to skin, or even to meet him. I didn't experience labour. I mourn it honestly. Knowing beautiful experiences like this take place warms my heart. Im so happy for you. Next time, I hope my experience is similar.
Thank you for sharing. I have had anxiety since finding out I was pregnant about giving birth and this was so refreshing to hear. Finally someone who has a positive outlook and doesn’t tell you all their horror stories that make you feel even worse. Ps.. can we have a look at your playlist?
Been watching you for years Jamie, and so am so relieved everything has turned out okay for you and the little lady. I’m so happy for you and Jack - what awesome loving parents you are sure to be. Your predominant message of gratitude says it all about you. GOOD PEOPLE you are ❤
i definitely did not expect to cry watching this🥹but watching your videos for years and seeing your little family grow is so beautiful im soooooo happy for you 🤍🤍
Somethings just don’t seem as important anymore. I remember that moment when I saw my son and daughter and everything changes. It’s a miracle and it’s divine. Congratulations. I never heard of the depressed thing a few days after giving birth. This first part of life is so amazing. It goes so fast ❤ amazing story. Thank you for sharing it.
I am currently 9 weeks pregnant and struggling with severe morning sickness (HG) currently controlled with anti-sickness tablets. I’m pushing through and taking each day as it comes but I am finding it difficult. I didn’t realise how challenging pregnancy could be both physically and emotionally. Hearing your story and seeing how happy you are makes it all worthwhile and has encouraged me to keep my head up through the hard times ❤ my little baby will be here in the end and I can’t wait to experience that feeling 🥹 congratulations to you all 🥹 xx
so lovely to have watched your journey from the very start to where you are now, truly are an inspiration and can't wait to watch yourself, Jack and Romy grow
This was so lovely to watch - you are clearly euphoric and loving your new role which is just magical. I’m so happy you had such a special and amazing experience, and thank you for acknowledging those of us who experienced birth trauma x
When you said you and Jack started to cry my eyes filled.. sooooooo happy for use the coolest mummy and daddy your little girl has and she is sooooooo lucky...you look amazing congratulations and beautifully told xxxxxx
Jamie, you are beyond your years. You spoke so candidly and beautifully about the idiosyncrasies of birth and it will help so many people. I am a midwife but I also had a baby 2 days after you and it was the most amazing experience. I have followed your pregnancy journey as I knew we were so close together and it’s been so lovely following along with you! Thank you so much for sharing your journey and I can’t wait to see more of beautiful Romy!❤
My first pregnancy & birth was traumatic 🥺 I was 19 & thinking back makes me want to cry when I hear others having amazing pregnancy/birth stories. Congratulations to you & Jack!! Romy is perfect 🤍
I will never not be in complete awe of what the female body can accomplish. People love to say “we’re made to give birth” and I think that undermines what a feat it is. So happy for you and your sweet family
My husband walked in on me crying, listening to this. He was so confused. As a mom of 2 it's hard not to get emotional hearing about birth. It's so personal and unique for each woman. Wonderful work Jamie. Congratulations
Jamie, I've been watching you for quite a long time now, listening to how you became a mama and how you brought your baby girl into the world, I kept catching myself smiling and tearing up the whole time! I've been really excited for you from the time I found out you were pregnant, it warms my heart so much for you because having my baby girl made me feel exactly how you've been describing. There is absolutely nothing on this planet that compares to the gifts of motherhood, and I am genuinely so so happy for you and Jack, I know you guys are amazing parents and are going to give that little girl the best life! Congratulations Jamie, my heart is so full of joy for you, you deserve this so much!! Love always, 💜💜💜Kati 💜💜💜
not pregnant and not planning on pregnancy for a good while but I couldn’t help but shed tears when you spoke about your first push. Such a beautiful human being and the most perfect family. Wishing you all the love and happiness in your new bubble 🤍
Crying 😭😭 followed you for ages and saw your video announcing your pregnancy just before I found out I was pregnant currently 35 weeks and been following you along so excited and happy for you!
This has to be the best description of gas and air ever. Love it. It’s exactly what it does. Such a great birth story. Brings me back my labours so much.
I have been putting off watching this because of my own experience but I knew you’d do it so well and have compassion and love and I’m so glad I watched. I had to have an emergency section, so I had no labour, no warning, and I was rushed to surgery so had no skin to skin, no lovely time alone, then my husband and I were literally kicked out the next morning as they needed the bed. It was awful. My beautiful girl is now 5 and perfect but I can’t listen to ANYONE talk about their birth except you, apparently! Thank you. ❤ I wish I had a lovely birth story but mine was just surgery, more surgery then here’s you baby bye! (I live in Newcastle)
So many similarities to my labour. Back to back is no joke. I love those supportive midwives, that help you pass through it and reassure you. I'm glad you and Romy had a peaceful transition into the world, for Jack to be by your side too 😭😭😭🥰💕
Jamie, I’ve sat here and had little happy tears, big smiles and the warm and fuzzies while listening to your story. So happy for you, Jack and little Romy. Just wow. Lots of well wishes to all of you. X 🇦🇺
Such a beautiful story! Becoming a mom is the most magical experience ever. You created life & that love fills you completely. I’m so happy y’all are healthy & your birthing experience is a positive one . I wish the placenta thing was popular when i had my son bc I def had pp.
Oh my god- only @jamiegenevieve would laugh while telling and make me laugh during her birth story! I just love how she looks at life❤. So happy for her & her little family - been watching since the beginning and so excited for this chapter.
Loved this - thanks for sharing. I had my baby 5 months ago and forgot so many parts of birth/ afterwards till you said them! It’s mad how quickly you forget.
What a beautiful birth story. I had a similar experience with a back labour….oh the pain ! I was on the hormone drip too and my labour went so fast I had no time for an epidural…it was still the best experience . Wishing you Jack and Romy all the happiness in the world xxx
my pregnancy & birth experience wasn't the best - but I feel nothing but joy for you and every story is our own and I am so happy you had an awesome one and I am so happy that you are all doing well ! I can feel the peace radiating off of you
Jamie, its been a joy watching you experience this whole process, such a heartfelt birthing story which, as you said, you will never forget. My first born is now 50! regardless, the memory of his birth is alive and well within me. You have such a loving and kind approach to life, every best wish to your little family and thank you so much for sharing. xx
I'm so trilled for you both❤Congratulations!!!! I have a daughter who introduced me to you several years ago now, we are both obsessed. Wait until Romy starts to develop, talk, walk go to school, dance, sing you will be an emotional wreck but in a good way. All I feel is full of pride and you will too. 17 years have gone by so quickly enjoy every minute. She's not only your daughter anymore she will be your Best Friend. 💕
Awe Jamie thank you for sharing such an intimate time in your life with us. It means so much. So pleased things went smoothly for the most part for you. I am so happy for you and Jack. She is absolutely perfect. It is a connection that does not compare to anything. Bask. ❤
Loved hearing your birth story, it’s crazy how much detail you remember but not the actual pain, just that it was painful. I’ve had 2 kids and it was the same for me. I can recall the days so clearly even now and my eldest is 7 Congratulations to you and Jack on your little bundle ❤
Just watched your story and loved listening to it. I almost cried at one point. You won’t ever forget the births I can still clearly remember both of mine and the 1st one was 58 years ago now, similar to yours except I didn’t get offered pain killers or an epidural only gas and air and she was a breach birth so pleased that you get offered so much more.
🥹 so proud of you!!!!! 🖤 Amazing story! Why do you make me want to do it all over again 🥲😂 so incredible and Your energy talking about your birth and Romy - it’s a new Jamie energy unlocked. I love it 🤍 love u ☁️xxxxx
As a youngish midwife, this video is the sweetest, kindest gift to the girl who looked after you 🩷 there sometimes is a bit of stigma around being a bit younger, and especially nowadays with how tight the NHS can be with staffing and time we get quite a lot of negative press- it is so so sooo amazing that you had a good experience and it will make her feel so valued that she was able to help make you feel like that 🥺 I’m also sure she was quietly buzzing to look after you in labour 😂
Yessss!!! Like did she notice her?! I’m sure she couldn’t say either, she had to stay professional and focused for her and the baby! I’m so proud of you too! I was honestly impressed when I heard that she was 22 & such a rock star! Y’all are seriously such a blessing. My friend here in the states, became a mid wife after having 4 of her own kids! She loves it and I couldn’t imagine anyone more calming &relaxing to have in my corner during birth ❤
Literally been waiting for this ❤ absolutely beautiful to listen to. And being a mum of 2 myself it's so refreshing to hear you talk about labour and the normal down to earth parts that most ladies worry about. Thank you and congratulations being a mother is the most fabulous job ever xxxx
I haven't been watching your youtube videos since you got pregnant (clearly, a loss for me). I have missed you. You glow with motherhood. Congratulations to you and Jack, and welcome wee Romy!
I've had one baby and my birth story is very similar to yours. After giving birth i now have the view that I am in total and complete awe of any mother that carries a baby and gives birth, its the hardest thing ive ever done but the most amazing and best thing. Well done you, you are an amazing woman and mother 💓 Thanks for sharing your story, i am sure it will help other mammas to be❤❤
I love the things that Jamie says about certain things, that are totally normal where she lives. I’m sitting here wondering “did her midwife really go for her tea break? Or just a lunch break? Does Jamie really have book club meetings or is that what they call it there when the girls get together for a girls night?!” Jamie is the friend we all would want to have and the energy we’d want to keep around us ❤🫶🏼🥹☺️
Awhhh, I'm not a mom, but you make me cry for joy for you! Placenta tabs that's interesting and seriously think that's good for your mental health and body in general. I think animals in the animal kingdom do this so why wouldn't we! Yes, keep sharing your motherhood journey to teach others but also to document your story! You remember today because its fresh but in time some memories will fade. Recording will keep them on the record for her to listen to someday! Congrats again, your glowing smiling face is contagious! Not sure you'll ever share her on social but if you do I'll enjoy seeing her beautiful face just like her mum!❤❤❤
It’s so lovely to see your face 🥰 You look fantastic and I’m so glad your experience was positive ❤ Can’t wait to see Romy. She is so lucky, that she is able to look back when she’s older and watch her Mum talk about her from the womb to birth and beyond. That is priceless 💚💚💚💚
I don't know if I want kids, and honestly I skip over birth stories a lot because they kinda terrify me... but I watched every second of this. Your honesty and emotion in this is amazing, I feel like we've all grown up with you 😂❤ congrats Mummy Genevieve!!!
Congratulations! Back labor is no fun. I had it with my first who was back to back the entire labor. Chain saw and sledge Hammer back... Bringing in your music was such a great idea to attach memories to. I found 6 weeks postpartum to be difficult emotionally too. Make sure to talk to someone, even if it's just small talk in the street with a neighbour or stranger, there is something about a conversation in person that can be an anchor when you're struggling. Even talking to the birds to stay sane . Take care 💚
Really enjoyed listening to your story and hearing it was so positive! I went through back labour too. You've convinced me that if I do it again I absolutely will have an epidural. Sounds like you're doing amazing - no one tells you how hard breastfeeding can be! Or how hard the hormones are when you get home. Enjoy your baby. So happy for you ❤
Fellow back to back labour mama here and it is hard! One of my midwife appointments she said it’s no different to a normal labour and then my midwife for when I was giving birth was like oh she lied it’s hard. I had an epidural too. I’m so glad Romy got here safe and sound you’re going to be the best mum.
Congratulations!!! 🎉🩷 So so happy for you! You are absolutely glowing! Big hugs to you and the family, and can’t wait to virtually meet Princess Romy !!
So good to see Mama Jamie after years of you getting me through a return to Glasgow and a whole-ass pandemic to deal with.. you brighten up our days! I'm so glad you had a positive birth experience and wonder if you think of doing it again one day? How's Jack finding fatherhood? I love his instagram pics with Romy 🥰
Loved every bit of this. Watched you for years, watched you while pregnant with my little Violet, and to see you as a mama now. I am soooooo exited! Can’t wait for mama videos.
How incredibly precious!!!! You have had the very best attitude throughout your pregnancy and now the birth of sweet baby girl!!! I’m so so happy for you and Jack and Romy ❤❤❤❤
You’re so thoughtful to bring up the trauma unpacked for others while being so grateful for your experience. Shows your emotional intelligence ♥️ so happy for you!

I will never not be in complete awe of what the female body can accomplish. People love to say “we’re made to give birth” and I think that undermines what a feat it is. So happy for you and your sweet family
Bawling watching this, you’re amazing mumma! Xxxx
Isn't it crazy/amazing how much you love this beautiful baby .... The love that mother has for her child is God's way of showing us his love for us
My husband walked in on me crying, listening to this. He was so confused. As a mom of 2 it's hard not to get emotional hearing about birth. It's so personal and unique for each woman. Wonderful work Jamie. Congratulations
So thankful you have a safe birth story and feel (and look) so well. Enjoy motherhood! 🩷
Jamie,
I've been watching you for quite a long time now, listening to how you became a mama and how you brought your baby girl into the world, I kept catching myself smiling and tearing up the whole time! I've been really excited for you from the time I found out you were pregnant, it warms my heart so much for you because having my baby girl made me feel exactly how you've been describing. There is absolutely nothing on this planet that compares to the gifts of motherhood, and I am genuinely so so happy for you and Jack, I know you guys are amazing parents and are going to give that little girl the best life! Congratulations Jamie, my heart is so full of joy for you, you deserve this so much!!
Love always,
💜💜💜Kati 💜💜💜
not pregnant and not planning on pregnancy for a good while but I couldn’t help but shed tears when you spoke about your first push. Such a beautiful human being and the most perfect family. Wishing you all the love and happiness in your new bubble 🤍
Crying 😭😭 followed you for ages and saw your video announcing your pregnancy just before I found out I was pregnant currently 35 weeks and been following you along so excited and happy for you!
All these years I’ve followed you girl I’m just so proud to see you become a momma ❤❤❤❤ your going to do so amazing 🎉
This has to be the best description of gas and air ever. Love it. It’s exactly what it does. Such a great birth story. Brings me back my labours so much.
I have been putting off watching this because of my own experience but I knew you’d do it so well and have compassion and love and I’m so glad I watched. I had to have an emergency section, so I had no labour, no warning, and I was rushed to surgery so had no skin to skin, no lovely time alone, then my husband and I were literally kicked out the next morning as they needed the bed. It was awful. My beautiful girl is now 5 and perfect but I can’t listen to ANYONE talk about their birth except you, apparently! Thank you. ❤ I wish I had a lovely birth story but mine was just surgery, more surgery then here’s you baby bye! (I live in Newcastle)
So many similarities to my labour. Back to back is no joke. I love those supportive midwives, that help you pass through it and reassure you. I'm glad you and Romy had a peaceful transition into the world, for Jack to be by your side too 😭😭😭🥰💕
Jamie, I’ve sat here and had little happy tears, big smiles and the warm and fuzzies while listening to your story. So happy for you, Jack and little Romy. Just wow. Lots of well wishes to all of you. X 🇦🇺
Jamie I am not emotionally ready for this!!
My baby boy turns 2 in 3 weeks and I feel all the feels 🥹
Congratulations sweetheart xxxxx
Such a beautiful story! Becoming a mom is the most magical experience ever. You created life & that love fills you completely.
I’m so happy y’all are healthy & your birthing experience is a positive one . I wish the placenta thing was popular when i had my son bc I def had pp.
Just so pleased for you all! Enjoy every moment, it flies past so quickly. She is so beautiful in the posts on Instagram and you all look so happy! ❤
Omg I haven’t watched you in forever. I can’t believe you’re a mom now, congratulations!!!!
Oh my god- only @jamiegenevieve would laugh while telling and make me laugh during her birth story! I just love how she looks at life❤. So happy for her & her little family - been watching since the beginning and so excited for this chapter.
Awh Jamie, I am so glad you had such a wonderful birth experience! Listening to it made me cry. I’m so happy for you and Jack 🖤
Loved this - thanks for sharing. I had my baby 5 months ago and forgot so many parts of birth/ afterwards till you said them! It’s mad how quickly you forget.
OMG NEW JAMIE VIDEO WE HAVE MISSED U BB ❤ So excited to hear your birth story x
Congratulations Jamie. Romy is so beautiful🥹 You and Jack are going to be the best parents❤️
What a beautiful birth story. I had a similar experience with a back labour….oh the pain ! I was on the hormone drip too and my labour went so fast I had no time for an epidural…it was still the best experience . Wishing you Jack and Romy all the happiness in the world xxx
my pregnancy & birth experience wasn't the best - but I feel nothing but joy for you and every story is our own and I am so happy you had an awesome one and I am so happy that you are all doing well ! I can feel the peace radiating off of you
Jamie, its been a joy watching you experience this whole process, such a heartfelt birthing story which, as you said, you will never forget. My first born is now 50! regardless, the memory of his birth is alive and well within me. You have such a loving and kind approach to life, every best wish to your little family and thank you so much for sharing. xx
I'm so trilled for you both❤Congratulations!!!!
I have a daughter who introduced me to you several years ago now, we are both obsessed.
Wait until Romy starts to develop, talk, walk go to school, dance, sing you will be an emotional wreck but in a good way. All I feel is full of pride and you will too. 17 years have gone by so quickly enjoy every minute. She's not only your daughter anymore she will be your Best Friend. 💕
Awe Jamie thank you for sharing such an intimate time in your life with us. It means so much. So pleased things went smoothly for the most part for you. I am so happy for you and Jack. She is absolutely perfect. It is a connection that does not compare to anything. Bask. ❤
what a gorgeous birth story, as someone that doesn't want kids, seeing your happiness and joy is so infectious!
PS is that a Vieve mascara I spy 👀
Thought I spied that too! 😊
@@zoebrannigan50 poop pioneer and a good 😊 thanks 😊 thank
Loved hearing your birth story, it’s crazy how much detail you remember but not the actual pain, just that it was painful. I’ve had 2 kids and it was the same for me. I can recall the days so clearly even now and my eldest is 7
Congratulations to you and Jack on your little bundle ❤
Just watched your story and loved listening to it. I almost cried at one point. You won’t ever forget the births I can still clearly remember both of mine and the 1st one was 58 years ago now, similar to yours except I didn’t get offered pain killers or an epidural only gas and air and she was a breach birth so pleased that you get offered so much more.
So happy for you guys! I was teary eyed on the train listening to this I wish you guys the best ❤
My favourite girl is back❤
The epidural was ‘magical’ lol its amazing! The best thing you can ever do x
🥹 so proud of you!!!!! 🖤 Amazing story! Why do you make me want to do it all over again 🥲😂 so incredible and Your energy talking about your birth and Romy - it’s a new Jamie energy unlocked. I love it 🤍 love u ☁️xxxxx
I’m so so so happy for you and Jack. Her name is simply beautiful. Can’t wait to watch your new journey xo
As a youngish midwife, this video is the sweetest, kindest gift to the girl who looked after you 🩷 there sometimes is a bit of stigma around being a bit younger, and especially nowadays with how tight the NHS can be with staffing and time we get quite a lot of negative press- it is so so sooo amazing that you had a good experience and it will make her feel so valued that she was able to help make you feel like that 🥺 I’m also sure she was quietly buzzing to look after you in labour 😂
Yessss!!! Like did she notice her?! I’m sure she couldn’t say either, she had to stay professional and focused for her and the baby! I’m so proud of you too! I was honestly impressed when I heard that she was 22 & such a rock star! Y’all are seriously such a blessing. My friend here in the states, became a mid wife after having 4 of her own kids! She loves it and I couldn’t imagine anyone more calming &relaxing to have in my corner during birth ❤
Literally been waiting for this ❤ absolutely beautiful to listen to. And being a mum of 2 myself it's so refreshing to hear you talk about labour and the normal down to earth parts that most ladies worry about. Thank you and congratulations being a mother is the most fabulous job ever xxxx
Oh sweetheart I am so happy for you 🥺 congratulations!
I haven't been watching your youtube videos since you got pregnant (clearly, a loss for me). I have missed you. You glow with motherhood. Congratulations to you and Jack, and welcome wee Romy!
I HAVE FOLLOWED YOU FOR YEARS! You’ve come so far & I’m so happy for you & your family ❤️ so much love xo
That mascara 👀…I’m happy for you Jamie!! Congratulations again to your family✨
I've had one baby and my birth story is very similar to yours. After giving birth i now have the view that I am in total and complete awe of any mother that carries a baby and gives birth, its the hardest thing ive ever done but the most amazing and best thing. Well done you, you are an amazing woman and mother 💓
Thanks for sharing your story, i am sure it will help other mammas to be❤❤
I love the things that Jamie says about certain things, that are totally normal where she lives. I’m sitting here wondering “did her midwife really go for her tea break? Or just a lunch break? Does Jamie really have book club meetings or is that what they call it there when the girls get together for a girls night?!”
Jamie is the friend we all would want to have and the energy we’d want to keep around us ❤🫶🏼🥹☺️
Eeeeeekkk so excited for this video !!!! And allll the fun chapters ahead xx
Awhhh, I'm not a mom, but you make me cry for joy for you! Placenta tabs that's interesting and seriously think that's good for your mental health and body in general. I think animals in the animal kingdom do this so why wouldn't we! Yes, keep sharing your motherhood journey to teach others but also to document your story! You remember today because its fresh but in time some memories will fade. Recording will keep them on the record for her to listen to someday! Congrats again, your glowing smiling face is contagious! Not sure you'll ever share her on social but if you do I'll enjoy seeing her beautiful face just like her mum!❤❤❤
Its so crazy, started watching you 6 years ago and has been amazing watching you grow, such congratulations on having Romy ❤
It’s so lovely to see your face 🥰 You look fantastic and I’m so glad your experience was positive ❤ Can’t wait to see Romy. She is so lucky, that she is able to look back when she’s older and watch her Mum talk about her from the womb to birth and beyond. That is priceless 💚💚💚💚
I don't know if I want kids, and honestly I skip over birth stories a lot because they kinda terrify me... but I watched every second of this. Your honesty and emotion in this is amazing, I feel like we've all grown up with you 😂❤ congrats Mummy Genevieve!!!
Currently trying for a baby and not succeeding. I’m finding your videos such a comfort and so helpful ❤ congratulations xxxx
Congratulations! Back labor is no fun. I had it with my first who was back to back the entire labor. Chain saw and sledge Hammer back... Bringing in your music was such a great idea to attach memories to.
I found 6 weeks postpartum to be difficult emotionally too. Make sure to talk to someone, even if it's just small talk in the street with a neighbour or stranger, there is something about a conversation in person that can be an anchor when you're struggling. Even talking to the birds to stay sane . Take care 💚
love hearing your story as someone who wants this so much and makes it less scary ! Congratulations, all the best for your little family :)
Really enjoyed listening to your story and hearing it was so positive! I went through back labour too. You've convinced me that if I do it again I absolutely will have an epidural. Sounds like you're doing amazing - no one tells you how hard breastfeeding can be! Or how hard the hormones are when you get home. Enjoy your baby. So happy for you ❤
aww this made me cry when uou said about the first push!! so happy for you!
Fellow back to back labour mama here and it is hard! One of my midwife appointments she said it’s no different to a normal labour and then my midwife for when I was giving birth was like oh she lied it’s hard. I had an epidural too. I’m so glad Romy got here safe and sound you’re going to be the best mum.
Congratulations!!! 🎉🩷
So so happy for you! You are absolutely glowing! Big hugs to you and the family, and can’t wait to virtually meet Princess Romy !!
I soooooooo loved your story. I was glued to the video listening . So happy for you. I was smiling the whole time
Just balled my eyes out at this! Congratulations Jamie and to Jack too. Beautiful little family ❤
So good to see Mama Jamie after years of you getting me through a return to Glasgow and a whole-ass pandemic to deal with.. you brighten up our days! I'm so glad you had a positive birth experience and wonder if you think of doing it again one day? How's Jack finding fatherhood? I love his instagram pics with Romy 🥰
Loved every bit of this. Watched you for years, watched you while pregnant with my little Violet, and to see you as a mama now. I am soooooo exited! Can’t wait for mama videos.
Congratulations Jamie! ♥ Welcome to motherhood! I am going to be a grandma soon in December. A little nervous, this new baby will be a blessing.
Thank you for taking the time to share this with us 💖 Congratulations, beyond happy for you! 💖
Hi Jamie, congratulations both!🩷 this was such a lovely birth story, thank you for sharing 🙏🏻 much love xxxx
How incredibly precious!!!! You have had the very best attitude throughout your pregnancy and now the birth of sweet baby girl!!! I’m so so happy for you and Jack and Romy ❤❤❤❤
oh Jamie G is a mamaaaaa, i'm so proud of you & jack♥️
I love your honesty about it all. The “it’s horrifying” about your packed lunch placenta had me cracking up. So true but glad it helped!
