Birth trauma is so real. I had a massive placental abruption at 36 weeks, woke up with blood flowing down the sides of my bed. Obviously went into emergency c section but had to be put under general anesthesia. Going to sleep not knowing if you’re going to wake up again, or if you do and your baby doesn’t, is a feeling I will never forget. Thankfully me and baby girl are both here, but the trauma stays with you. Thank you for sharing your story ❤️🩹
It’s so sweet watching parents just smile and talk about their babies funny faces and poops and noises. Watching your eyes light up just speaking about him is the best. You can see the pure ultimate love for what youve created. And get to know him more and more each day :) 😊
Watching this is so raw, I’m so sorry it didn’t go as planned. Birth trauma is so real and so raw, it effects you both so much more than you actually realise ❤ you can do everything right, read every book and it doesn’t always go as planned I know that myself ❤ make sure you speak to the after thoughts services if you haven’t already to get the closure ❤❤
Emily, you are such a strong woman and Cam you are an amazing partner. Reggie is definitely in the right hands and I am sure he is goin to grow up with so much love from you. Love all the way from Nigeria❤❤
Seeing how much pain in things she went through in giving birth. He was there for her, and how he shows love and affection to her when she went through it also when I knew when I was watching the video when she started crying, he actually cries with her and knows what she is going through. That’s what kind of relationship I am. Looking for an a man or anyone in particular they are such a strong and amazing couple. I am so glad we have them to look forward to in our life.
Emily, I'm crying watching this. I can't express how much I relate to your pregnancy. I went through the same week long, seeing midwives come and go, endless pain relief and little memory of the birth I went from 4 to 10cm and rushed to surgery because of 4th degree tear... I don't remember a thing... all I remember was the moment I stepped outside the hospital after seven days inside i fell to the floor on my knees in tears just because the fresh air hit my face. I look at my lanky little seven year old now and think how lucky I am... please know you're not alone, I also felt after that nothing could have prepared me for the reality as its just something you can't compare... the gas and air was great but lasted verrryyyyy little. I had fairy lights, the room with the pool... used none of it... Harry was born whilst I squatted over the bed and fell out and the button was pressed and about 10 doctors ran in... omg nothing will ever ever compare and it really does put the world into perspective. Keep strong xxxx
I was right there crying with you guys 😢 I had such a traumatic birth with my second child. She was a c section and Emily I had the exact same thing happen where I couldn’t stop shaking except I was already cut open at that point and they couldn’t sew me back up until I stopped! They made my husband leave the room and put me to sleep and I ended up losing like 6x’s the amount of blood that I should have and ended up needing blood transfusions. And then when I was wheeled back into the room I had the same thing my husband tried to hand me my daughter and I was like no I’m shaking too much. Ugh while you were telling your story I felt like I was reliving mine at the same time. You’re so strong and thank you for telling us your birth story I think it’s so important for other people to know that it’s not cookie cutter for everyone. My best friend has had two smooth births with minor tears and was completely fine! Everyone’s body handles stress differently
you guys are such a beautiful couple, i’m so happy to have been watching since THTH. you guys are inspiring and you both are INCREDIBLY strong, im so happy you all ended up happy and healthy!
Thank you so much for sharing. I know this can be very traumatic but it’s so important for other people to hear the real truths behind birth. Making this information so accessible is wonderful but once again I’m so sorry for everything you went through. Love you both
Birth Trauma is so real. But the immediate switch into mom mode is also so real. When they placed my daughter into my chest and she cried- all the pain, all the anxiety- just melted away and nothing else mattered but holding her, latching her, and watching her breathe. And yes, you would do it all again because they are worth every second of the pain. ❤️Beautiful story. Beautiful couple. Lovely family.
Just yesterday I was looking if you uploaded a new episode because I missed the podcast so much! So happy you are back 😍 congratulations on your baby 🥰
This was such a touching conversation ❤ I love seeing how much you both have grown and you are both already are and going to be the most amazing parents. ❤❤❤ your partnership and support for each other is truly inspiring
I am so proud of you emily! You are so strong! I am no where near ready to have kids and I have always been scared to have them because of the many stories I hear of the pain women go through and its terrifying to hear. But you are so amazing! I know it mustve hurt so bad but now you have a beautiful baby boy! And cam you made me tear up, you are such an amazing dad! You guys are amazing!
I am so so proud of you. Watching this video reminded me of my birth story which was almost 100% the same as yours.. but my partner was not allowed to stay with me during labor.. only when I had the c-section. I stayed in labor with huuuuge pain form almost 24 hours and then I had to get a c-section because it was so much stress for the baby and my body. During the c-section I had a panic attack and I was shaking like crazy. I remember I couldn’t stop my hands and my mouth from shaking (I couldn’t feel the rest of my body). My husband was there to hold my hand, thank god. It was so traumatic.. my baby got an 8 on the apgar score because he was so so tiny and he didn’t breathe/cry the first seconds he came out. Now, almost a year later, my baby is the happiest baby ever, he is so bubbly all the time, he checks all the milestones. Honestly I just forgot that I went through all that pain and suffer and I would go through it all over again just for my little baby. Birth is an amazing experience even though for some is traumatic. But I am so proud of you. You are the best parents for your baby. ❤️
I’ve never given birth, but from all the stories I’ve heard and women I talked to- Em you did amazing! Women who give birth without meds give birth within few hours from the first contraction, they don’t have to stay in labour for 24h. That’s why they can take it. Even if your nerves are made of steel it’s survival mechanism to want the relief after one day of agony. Do not blame yourself or feel less than women who did it without meds and all naturally!
I'm a Midwife and mother, sending you both big hugs 🫂 I'm sorry that your birthing experience was not as you wished for....sounds like you did fantastic throughout! You may find having a birth debrief with your hospital's Consultant Midwife useful 😊 All the best x
I don’t think I’ve laughed and cried so much in one podcast. I’m so glad Em is okay 🥺 Did they ever figure out what was wrong with your uterus/cervix that caused all that? That’s so scary! I’m So glad you guys have each other 🤍 Such a great team!
he seriously is the cutest baby no bias. i’ll be talking about how some babies are alien looking to my friends and I’ll legit pull up his pic and be like but this baby is actually so cute.
Y’all ended up together 😭❤ don’t know how I stumbled into you guys on IG on a norm I recognize Em, seeing the guy next to her I’m like yo don’t tell me this is Cam 😭😂 He did Change a lot love the growth ❤
So so so very proud of you both, Love your journey from THTH, love you both so much but also love Reggie more. You both are such good partners and such good parents to Reggie, it makes me so happy to see Reggie’s photos on your insta stories, the joy is unexplainable. Sending lots of Love and good wishes from India 🇮🇳
We had a similar birth story second time around I had c section my first time and wanted to try a vbac everything went completely left and had to have a emergency c section and my partner thought I was going to die by the amount of shaking. They had to put weighted blankets on me to calm me down and I couldn’t even hold my daughter HOURS after birth because I couldn’t stop shaking. It’s so scary. Women are so strong !
How wild our birth stories are so similar. I shook a lot going into the operating room for my cesarean as well, uncontrollably. Almost looked like I was seizing. After lots of research I have found it is totally normal/ common. I am so sorry your birth didn't go according to plan. But how worth it, you got that beautiful baby!
As a student midwife working on Labour ward at the moment this breaks my heart for you that you had this experience. And not even in the way of your bleeding/ dilation etc - you were scared! To hear you say things such as you had to beg or about the pain being so bad and dying! I’m so sorry for this and this is the care I am so passionate about not giving ! Does your hospital have a birth reflections service try and look into this and see as it would really help x
And cam thank you so much for talking about birth trauma for partners aswell because it’s so important to raise awareness to it - you’re a team at the end of the day!
my mom also had a traumatic birth. she tried to gave birth to me naturally, but first, my head was on the top, so the OB had to switch my position. Then, her fever spiked and her OB said that it wasn't going to work out (she had been in labor for almost 40 hours at this point). then, she went in the OR for a c-section to give birth to me. that part of the birth went well. but then, she still had a fever but that wasn't normal before bc i was out, she was supposed to be fine. they ran all sorts of tests while trying to get my mom's fever down. it wasn't until a senior doctor came and ran another blood test on my mom and found out that she had protein c deficiency. thank god she's fine. i'm fine as well.
13:50 the way you’re holding the bottle here might be causing some of his wind issues. Try holding the bottom of the bottle higher so no air is sitting in the nipple while he sucks
Also after you feed your baby you should hold him and not lay him on his back. You can hear how your baby needs to be burped. Poor baby is all flopping around on your lap
I love them as a couple. I love how much Cam loves her and he is being a great dad 😭😭

As a Canadian “mono brow “ sounds so strange 😂 I was like “ do they mean unibrow?”
Ahh their back I was just watching yall older ones 😆❤️❤️
Sat whelling up watching this being 7 months postpartum 🥹💕
not me crying with them😔
my mom also had a traumatic birth. she tried to gave birth to me naturally, but first, my head was on the top, so the OB had to switch my position.

it's cute that you name your plants !
Finally wait is over
I love them 🥹❤️
I really hate when people say peoples babies are ugly. Everyone thinks their own baby looks cute.
The pain we go through for our babies 🥺😭
I’m calling Cam Peter Piper from now on lol 😂
Hahaha I feel like the announcing what they are doing is a 💥MAN💥 thing 🤣 My partner does the same thing!
Thank you for sharing ❤
Well done ❤❤ lots of love
Love this
Welcome back and welcome to the world baby Reggie! You guys make such a cute family! Lana would be so proud 🫶🏽
you guys are goal. love all the way from India 🫶🏻
If you lift his bottle up when you feed him so the teat is full of milk he will take less air in and be less gassy ☺️
anyone know what the plant is called behind emily xx
That gas didn’t do anything for me either 😭 I was convinced that it wasn’t working
13:50 the way you’re holding the bottle here might be causing some of his wind issues. Try holding the bottom of the bottle higher so no air is sitting in the nipple while he sucks
why were you against epidural?
Sorry if I have missed this but why were you so against a cesarian?
Im so scared 😩
Im due on February and it’s very scary
It’s okay you’re going to get through it trust me all births are different
So proud of you…… That was emotional, I wish u all the best since show 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
Please don’t use the windi too often, it can hurt the muscle.
please add Turkish subtitles
Are they divorced
Their not married yet
Also after you feed your baby you should hold him and not lay him on his back. You can hear how your baby needs to be burped. Poor baby is all flopping around on your lap
😭😭
