She literally looks like one of those realistic baby dolls she doesn’t even flinch or move a muscle even when you turn her to show her to the camera she’s precious congratulations
I cannot get over how much she looks like a literal doll! Like she doesn't even look real! She's so still and relaxed and ADORABLE! Congrats again Sar!
Wow. Impressed with how still Molly was while you propped her up. She literally looks like a doll. Lol. That's a great tip about the combs! I hope to have a water birth too. And I love that bible verse idea too 💕
I just want to put this out there. I'm not a christian but I am still absolutely inspired by you as a human + mother. It doesn't bother me in the least if you're religious or not because, somehow, I can still very much relate to you. I acknowledge that we're only seeing small segments of your life here on the internet and it's never the full picture, but I am completely in awe over how terrific you seem to be balancing motherhood and your own life. You seem very organized and in control. You were the first person to inspire me to live a more simple, minimalistic lifestyle. And let me say, as a mother, it has helped me find more time in my days when living more simply. Thank you for sharing these precious moments of your life with us. It all goes to show that whatever your religious or nonreligious viewpoints are, it shouldn't matter - you can still find a connection with others. Congratulations on your new baby daughter! Take care.
Just a note.. Christianity isn’t “religion.” It’s a relationship with God and Jesus Christ our savior. In the Bible, it refers to religious folks as pharisees. The pharisees were lawful which most people think of when they think of Christians. Being lawful in example would be.. If someone was judging you for a particular sin or for not going to church every sunday, when they’re not even perfect in their own lives. That’s the best way I can describe it haha.. Like if someone said, “oh you’re not christian, you have tattoos!!” This person acts like they know your salvation or the contents of your heart. It’s judgement, which only God has the right of. We’re taught by Jesus to love one another no matter what. To carry our cross in life(to live for others, not ourselves). If everyone lived like this, the world would be a very different place. I hope this made sense☺️
That’s because she’s a Christian! She’s put her faith and trust in Jesus and that’s why she behaves that way. Just imagine someone saying bad words because of labor I mean no offense to those moms but i just wanna point out the difference.
You were born to be a mom. I love the fact you praise God for our blessings. Enjoy your sweet little Molly , savior all of your precious children and having such a loving husband.God Bless 💖🙏
I am currently 30 weeks pregnant with my 4th as well, hearing about how God took such good care of you in labour is so encouraging, I had a somewhat traumatic birth with my 3rd and have been very scared this time around. I have prayed so much about this upcoming birth and you have no idea how much it means hearing the reminder that God takes care of us, so thank you! ❤️
Omgosh I’m exactly the same, 30 weeks pregnant with my 4th. My last birth was also traumatic. I’ve been struggling with gestational diabetes since early in the pregnancy and I’m so tired of constant poking and testing.You are not alone! We’ve got this!
Same. My son is the reason I did a home birth with my 4th and it was so amazing having her natural and at home. I’m 31 weeks pregnant with number 5 and am so looking forward to the experience again. God is good and will provide!
If it helps, my 4th birth was by far the easiest so far! We barely made it to the hospital, and once we got there, he just sort of fell out LOL. No doctor, and the triage nurse didn’t have her gloves on yet
i saw something on another birth vlog that I thought was really cool and would do if I was ever giving birth again (but those days are gone, lol). Anyhow, the mom wrote out prayers on some index cards (praise/petition and intercession/supplication/& thanksgiving) and while she was laboring, she had her husband praying them over her. It was really amazing. I love the scripture idea, too!
Currently 39 weeks and getting a little nervous about this delivery. Hearing you call it a privilege is exactly what I needed to hear to change my mindset! Thank you!
I have never seen someone so sensible.every single word from your mouth seems well thought of and it just makes so much sense. The way you hold your baby its beautiful. I want to meet you one day in person.you are a superwoman to me..so many positive vibes from your side.
Sarah, I’m saying ‘hallelujah, praise the Lord’ with you. I just had baby nb 5 at home, like you I had very inconsistent contractions, so midwife left and we ended up delivering baby an hour later with Daddy only. God sustained us and watched over us. I’m so thankful! Blessings on your family! x
I know you’re no longer on TH-cam but just wanted to say I binged all your labor videos. I’m pregnant with my first and planning home birth and you’re my inspiration 💙 I am so confident after watching your channel
Congratulations, she is so so adorable. My 5 year old asked if she was real?? Lol such a perfect beautiful little girl. Thank the lord everything went safe and you had all your support. Bless your family sending hugs from Alaska Tschandra 🤗
So many comments say she looks like a doll, and they are right. She is so adorable she doesn't even look real what a perfect baby. Love the name choice. Great job Sarah
I just love your attitude during the labour - so patient, grateful, peaceful. You were like receiving peace and wisdom straight from heaven. I think I was grumpy at times in my labours. Your attitude really inspired me, not just for labours but for everyday life!
I've had 8 children (7 vbac), the last was my easiest! I love how you encomapass and show the joy of motherhood!! Inspiring! You are so in tune with labor and your body! Molly is perfect! Congratulations! When the kids grow up you should become a dula! 💕🙏🏼
i'm looking forward to seeing your youngest daughters watch your videos where you give birth and talk about them. your blog is like an archive of your family's life. so exciting
Pure joy and inspiration. 🥰. I love that you share the entire process with your children. I wish everyone could embrace all of the stages of labor as you do. Thank you for sharing.
Love love love the Isaiah verse. I'm so thankful for your raw and real sharing of your experiences. The Lord knows exactly what we need! Congratulations and many blessings to you all!
So glad everything went smooth and well for you and baby molly. She is absolutely beautiful the lord definitely helped you out I think it's so beautiful praise the Lord. Thank you for making these videos I love watching them and I know it helps alot of mom's and people out there. Your amazing your family is amazing baby molly is amazing god is amazing and today is a beautiful day. Have a blessed day 🥰
I really appreciate the encouraging words! I am 20weeks today, and the thought of labor really makes me nervous. This will be our first earth baby, as we have had 2 miscarriages. So I don't know what to expect with giving birth. Molly is so beautiful!
Molly is sooo beautiful! My 7 year old saw her and gasped and said, "she looks just like a baby silicone doll!". Im currently 31 weeks 4 days with my 4th baby and will try the combs when i go into labor. Ive never heard of them before.
Labor has always scared me. I feared even talking about it let alone thinking about it. But man. Your videos on labor. About the way you overcome. Seeing it as a fight. Seeing the way the Lord has provided for you. Seeing your joy IN THE MIDDLE of it! I'm brought to tears. I never thought I'd cry about labor. But like. Man. You've made it beautiful. I'm 22 and not married. So its not soon for me, but as a woman who hopes to be a mom, its something you think about. It's something you mentally prepare for over the course of your whole life. Its wild. But stories like this have brought me so much peace. You go mama! Way to allow the Lord to tell a story of victory and power through you!
I love how Kerren just grabbed a strainer and went in! I hope to find a love like y’all’s some day! Congratulations! You are an amazing mom and she is perfect! God bless! ❤️
You and I are insanely alike! 4th time mom due Sept 19th! My oldest will have just turned 6, and I’m 25 years old! I have 4 hour labor home births with two pushes, but man because it’s fast it is so raw! I get just a little nervous as I approach birth still, and it’s so nice to hear someone fresh out of it declare that God is good and that heck ya you would do it again! What a sweet little girl, Sarah! Congrats and thank you so much for sharing! I might just have to try those combs for my water birth this time around! Edit: and that’s just the tip of it! I haven’t even mentioned our house management and parenting styles!! But anyway, wanted to introduce myself and let you know there’s for sure one mama that gets a ton of encouragement from your videos!
I am so happy for you and your family! Thank you for sharing your story. All women that are about to deliver, especially those who are frightened, should listen to this. It would have certainly put me in a better frame of mind when I had my boys. Love to you and your beautiful family, Sarah.
I see some mommy channels and those women have 3 kids and they have tones of stuff that give me anxiety of so much stuff, although I like to watch organization videos. And then we have Sarah with 3 kids and for 3 kids she has the same amount, or even less, of stuff that the other moms have for only 1 kid. I'm saying 3 because Molly just came out and Calvin, Ellie and Ivy use the same type of stuff. Love Sarah
You did a really nice job explaining things for those of us who have not been pregnant or in labor before! I appreciate that! Congratulations! Beautiful baby girl 💕
You are so inspiring!! Your faith is beautiful! I love everything about this birth story! I am so blessed to see all this and have it as an inspiration for myself! Thank you for sharing!
My first is 10 months old and this makes me want to have a second so badly! Labour is so empowering and I would 100% do it again. It’s an experience like no other, and like you said - it’s a blessing. Also, I didn’t realize you were Canadian, hi from Ontario! ❤️
You are a beautiful warrior and you inspire me so much !! Even though I’m done having babies and my youngest is five you make me feel strong and inspired in so many ways ! Also you look stunning ! So glowing and happy and beautiful !
Did you feel the ring of fire? Do you normally with your natural labors in the past? Did you tear at all? Huge congrats, just about to have my second birth center birth and am so inspired to hear your story with Molly!
Congratulations on your birth journey & thank you for sharing. I so miss those early days! Thank you for sparking my memories of both my home births, back here in South Africa, 16 & 13 years ago. It truly remains such a miracle, as you say. With my kiddo's birthdays each year, I get immensely sentimental while remembering their births.
Congratulations to you and your family! I do want to say is that you handled it very well and loved how well hydrated you made sure you were hydrated while you were in labor. I do think that makes a world of a difference. I cannot wait to hear about your recovery and how you are taking care of your body post birth.
that was beautiful 🥲 a home birth is def the dream for me and like you said, it's a privilege to be able to birth a healthy baby. I love hearing positive home birth stories as every birth is different - which is something important to keep in mind. The birthing approach you have seems to be. a very intuitive approach and is something that I really admire and hope to implement when the time comes 🥰
The way Molly is calm seems to be the result of a calm mother through out the pregnancy and birth. You are such an inspiration ( no pregnancy for me in the near future but when it happens i will come back to learn from you). Congratulations to you and the family. And the other thing that stands out in your birth story is that when the contractions reduced you and the team remained calm and let your body do what it needed to do, i feel like in the hospital they would have gave you some medication to "get done with it". No shame to hospitals but i think they are impatient with our bodies. God bless and keep you may his face shine upon you and your family.
I am new here, but started watching your videos shortly before your birth. Im encouraged and inspired by how you had an attitude of thankfulness and give glory to the Lord the whole time. Im due in 3 months with my 2nd baby, hoping to have a natural homebirth this time around. Thank you for sharing your experience. She is so precious, and you are a trooper!
Such a beautiful story! I would love a video about family finances or maybe how you budget! Super interested to know how you do it with four kids now! So much love to you and your family! Congratulations!
27 weeks at the moment with my first, I don’t think I’d ever have the courage to have a home birth but your birth story is so raw and beautiful. Your baby girl is beautiful!! ❤ congratulations
I just had #8... I had no idea I was going to have my baby, I was 8 days late. Got home at 11 pm, at 1230 something told me to get ready, midwife came at 1am baby boy was born at 2:05 am. Its still crazy to look back at how everything played out. I drove home alone that night and just 3 hours later I was holding my baby 😯 Congratulations to you and your beautiful family! God bless you
I am 17 weeks pregnant and having my first baby. And some of the things that I have been worried about and concerned about during labor was just covered in this video. Thank you so much for not shying away from anything that happened during your labor. Including pooping because that was one of my anxieties like "what if it happens to me!" And something I didn't think was very common. Thank you for sharing just a pure and precious moment in your life. And for being so real. So grateful I came across your video! God bless ❤
That you had your children right there w your mother is so awesome!! How wonderful for your children to see you during that time, usually the children are kept far away and I always thought that was not the best way. What a nurturing support system, your husband, your mom & sister, and your children, and your midwife. I think the combs help transfer the sensation of pain, what a great idea. I had to have an epidural and I always admire the women who have natural births, so awesome. The epidural and drugs really dull the experience and affect the bonding. Congratulations, your new baby is so beautiful!!
The same thing happened to me! My labor was stalled and I felt alllllll the pelvic pain and turns out he was stuck on my pelvic bone! This was my first baby and home birth. It was truly so special!!
Gave me chills. I loved this. My daughter is nine months old and I can’t wait to get pregnant with baby #2-praying for a healthy low risk pregnancy so I can have a home birth with the next baby.
I just think after listening to you, what an awesome encouragement you are and would be to any Mom especially a first-time mom. Rewind 25 years ago... If I'd known you then, what an awesome encouragement that would have been to me. Because I feel like I was pretty clueless as a new wife even with a wonderful supporting husband. But that's not how God had it planned out. He has you here now to lift up and encourage mamas on this day and time. Thanking God for all the mamas out there. And like you, Sarah, The Mamas who can be real open and honest because it's a huge blessing! I love how confident and natural you are with your children. Sending you and your family wellness and love! The gift of motherhood is huge😍❤❤❤
Molly is the perfect addition to this beautiful family and your inspiring story took my breath away. Thank you so much for documenting this experience and for teaching women how to embrace the most difficult parts of bringing a life into this crazy world🍀❤️
I love birth stories. The first video of yours that I watched was when Elizabeth was born. My births were over 30 years ago. I never really wanted a home birth or water birth. I didnt want to deal with the clean up. I didnt feel like I needed a support team besides my husband. I felt like labor was completely in my power to manage. For my second and third babies I labored at home, walking, doing laundry and such, resting between contraction. I felt like I was made perfectly for pregnancy, labor, birth and mothering. It is so cool to remember that time in my life. ❤
Thank you for sharing your birth story in such detail, it's so great to hear stories such as yours! I also wanted to thank you for being so candid on having to poop during labor; it's something so normal, I don't understand why people are still surprised/embarrassed when they hear it happens. Women are literally pushing a live human out of their bodies, it would actually be more surprising if they didn't poop as well hahaha. Love your videos and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!
I’m new to your channel and I do not have words to express how much you touch my heart… the way you express your gratitude to the Lord for all the blessings you had during your labor and your life. God bless you, your husband your children ! For more videos like this so honest, so transparent so full full of love 💕🌷
That pelvic pain is mind-blowingly painful. The relief is instantaneous when baby is finally out. My baby girl was born two weeks ago. God bless and congratulations!
Love your perspective on labor! I'm 33 weeks with my 2nd. It's not been that long, but I forget how tiny and still they are at first. These videos are getting me even more excited to meet baby 2!
Yeah, I tried to keep my screaming down during my home birth for my daughter's sake. Lots of pillow screaming. And I also pooped a lot! Even my midwife said it was a lot lol😅 Another neat thing was my husband said I was really hot to the touch. He couldn't believe the heat coming off me. I actually don't remember feeling hot. Labor is a LOT, ya'll.
Ohmygoshness I had no idea that you were a fellow BCian. Even funnier, I am across the bridge and our communities are majority connected. You are so amazing
I’m Molly and I have an older sister Rachel 🤗 I love watching your birth vlogs. I’ve had one baby 6 months ago and your birth vlogs are so encouraging and inspirational. Congratulations !
Wow congratulations on your beautiful little girl ❤️ she literally looks like one of those lifelike dolls when your showing her to the camera, she’s so precious and so cute 😍
My oldest daughter is Rachel! Love the full name. Hey, I love that you show your kids faces, not just their feet or the back of their heads. I think it’s weird when family TH-camrs do that. Thanks for sharing your life with the world!
There are major creeps online that take screenshots of children’s faces for their sick purposes. Many parents are uncomfortable with that. It’s perfectly normal to want to protect the privacy of one’s children online.
Sarah you have really inspired me to have a home birth in the future! I love hearing you’re advice and experiences. Also at 8:15 time stamp molly put her hands up so quick like “PICK MEEE UPP” 😭 she like looks a doll!
Congratulations to you and Kieran, on the birth of Molly Rachel. Thank you Father God for holding our dear sister Sarah and her little family in the palm of your hand. Enjoy your little daughter Sarah, it's such a privilege to be a mother. Your sister in Christ, Ann Marie xox
What a beautiful little baby! Congratulations!!!! 😍 We're having our first at home any day now, thanks for sharing such an encouraging story! Also you look great! ✨
This is so beautiful! Probably the best birth story I have seen. I have had four lovely children, no epidural births! Congrats and all the best blessings of the Lord to your family!
She literally looks like one of those realistic baby dolls she doesn’t even flinch or move a muscle even when you turn her to show her to the camera she’s precious congratulations
you're right. she does look like a doll...
My 3 yr old said that too. Are you sure it's a real baby. It looks like a doll baby.

Exactly 💓💓so adorable
Seriously!! 💛💛
Side note, what is that above the bed and why do people hang it in the bedroom? I see it often and wonder what the reasoning, is out of curiosity.
And she looks strong too 💪
@@mindom if I remember correctly uts just a macrame (spelling) piece Sarah did herself? Could be totally wrong but I feel like that's what it is lol

You are so inspiring!! Your faith is beautiful! I love everything about this birth story! I am so blessed to see all this and have it as an inspiration for myself! Thank you for sharing!
My first is 10 months old and this makes me want to have a second so badly! Labour is so empowering and I would 100% do it again. It’s an experience like no other, and like you said - it’s a blessing. Also, I didn’t realize you were Canadian, hi from Ontario! ❤️
Mine 10 months but we can’t think of a second at the moment! Ahha it’s pretty intense as mine still nurses every 2 hours, even in the night! 😅
She looks like a doll! She's beautiful! Congratulations!
These videos make me so pumped for my home birth after a cesarian in December🙌 we women were made to birth!💜
You are a beautiful warrior and you inspire me so much !!
Even though I’m done having babies and my youngest is five you make me feel strong and inspired in so many ways !
Also you look stunning ! So glowing and happy and beautiful !
Did you feel the ring of fire? Do you normally with your natural labors in the past? Did you tear at all? Huge congrats, just about to have my second birth center birth and am so inspired to hear your story with Molly!
Congratulations on your birth journey & thank you for sharing. I so miss those early days! Thank you for sparking my memories of both my home births, back here in South Africa, 16 & 13 years ago. It truly remains such a miracle, as you say. With my kiddo's birthdays each year, I get immensely sentimental while remembering their births.
Congratulations to you and your family! I do want to say is that you handled it very well and loved how well hydrated you made sure you were hydrated while you were in labor. I do think that makes a world of a difference. I cannot wait to hear about your recovery and how you are taking care of your body post birth.
that was beautiful 🥲 a home birth is def the dream for me and like you said, it's a privilege to be able to birth a healthy baby. I love hearing positive home birth stories as every birth is different - which is something important to keep in mind. The birthing approach you have seems to be. a very intuitive approach and is something that I really admire and hope to implement when the time comes 🥰
The way Molly is calm seems to be the result of a calm mother through out the pregnancy and birth. You are such an inspiration ( no pregnancy for me in the near future but when it happens i will come back to learn from you). Congratulations to you and the family.
And the other thing that stands out in your birth story is that when the contractions reduced you and the team remained calm and let your body do what it needed to do, i feel like in the hospital they would have gave you some medication to "get done with it". No shame to hospitals but i think they are impatient with our bodies.
God bless and keep you may his face shine upon you and your family.
I am new here, but started watching your videos shortly before your birth. Im encouraged and inspired by how you had an attitude of thankfulness and give glory to the Lord the whole time. Im due in 3 months with my 2nd baby, hoping to have a natural homebirth this time around. Thank you for sharing your experience. She is so precious, and you are a trooper!
Such a beautiful story! I would love a video about family finances or maybe how you budget! Super interested to know how you do it with four kids now! So much love to you and your family! Congratulations!
I loved seeing Ivy hug you while you were in labor! It was so sweet! ❤️ Molly is precious! Congrats on welcoming your new addition to your family!
27 weeks at the moment with my first, I don’t think I’d ever have the courage to have a home birth but your birth story is so raw and beautiful. Your baby girl is beautiful!! ❤ congratulations
I just had #8... I had no idea I was going to have my baby, I was 8 days late. Got home at 11 pm, at 1230 something told me to get ready, midwife came at 1am baby boy was born at 2:05 am. Its still crazy to look back at how everything played out. I drove home alone that night and just 3 hours later I was holding my baby 😯
Congratulations to you and your beautiful family! God bless you
congrats!
Congratulations on your newest baby boy. I'm currently 23 weeks along with #7
@@icedcoffeeandbookss thank you! I'm very blessed and thankful!
@@alishajennings2013 congratulations!! Prayers everything goes well for you and a healthy baby! Every good and perfect gift is from above James 1: 17
8 days late 😳 oh my I would’ve given into pitocin already
I am 17 weeks pregnant and having my first baby. And some of the things that I have been worried about and concerned about during labor was just covered in this video. Thank you so much for not shying away from anything that happened during your labor. Including pooping because that was one of my anxieties like "what if it happens to me!" And something I didn't think was very common. Thank you for sharing just a pure and precious moment in your life. And for being so real. So grateful I came across your video!
God bless ❤
Yes! I have a huge pelvic pain and am 38 weeks and can't wait!!! You have been such an encouragement to me this pregnancy! Thank you 😊
That you had your children right there w your mother is so awesome!! How wonderful for your children to see you during that time, usually the children are kept far away and I always thought that was not the best way. What a nurturing support system, your husband, your mom & sister, and your children, and your midwife. I think the combs help transfer the sensation of pain, what a great idea. I had to have an epidural and I always admire the women who have natural births, so awesome. The epidural and drugs really dull the experience and affect the bonding. Congratulations, your new baby is so beautiful!!
She is the sweetest! So happy for you and your family!
Awww! Welcome to the world sweet Molly!! Hope momma is healing well and enjoying these sweet memories.
Molly Rachel ahhhh she is a beautiful baby! She looks like a doll. God bless her. ❤️
Give her a hug! You're holding her as if she was a doll!
The same thing happened to me! My labor was stalled and I felt alllllll the pelvic pain and turns out he was stuck on my pelvic bone! This was my first baby and home birth. It was truly so special!!
Gave me chills. I loved this. My daughter is nine months old and I can’t wait to get pregnant with baby #2-praying for a healthy low risk pregnancy so I can have a home birth with the next baby.
Birth never fails to amaze me! Totally awe inspiring! Congratulations to your family ❤️
I just think after listening to you, what an awesome encouragement you are and would be to any Mom especially a first-time mom. Rewind 25 years ago... If I'd known you then, what an awesome encouragement that would have been to me. Because I feel like I was pretty clueless as a new wife even with a wonderful supporting husband. But that's not how God had it planned out. He has you here now to lift up and encourage mamas on this day and time. Thanking God for all the mamas out there. And like you, Sarah, The Mamas who can be real open and honest because it's a huge blessing! I love how confident and natural you are with your children. Sending you and your family wellness and love! The gift of motherhood is huge😍❤❤❤
So, so, so encouraging to hear birth (especially a natural birth) talked about this way!
Molly is the perfect addition to this beautiful family and your inspiring story took my breath away. Thank you so much for documenting this experience and for teaching women how to embrace the most difficult parts of bringing a life into this crazy world🍀❤️
I can't wait to deliver my first baby! Due January 5th, 2022. Pray for a safe/quick birth & a healthy baby boy 💙🙏
Congratulations and good luck!
OH, and a natural v-back pleaseeeee!
I love birth stories. The first video of yours that I watched was when Elizabeth was born. My births were over 30 years ago. I never really wanted a home birth or water birth. I didnt want to deal with the clean up. I didnt feel like I needed a support team besides my husband. I felt like labor was completely in my power to manage. For my second and third babies I labored at home, walking, doing laundry and such, resting between contraction. I felt like I was made perfectly for pregnancy, labor, birth and mothering. It is so cool to remember that time in my life. ❤
Thank you for sharing your birth story in such detail, it's so great to hear stories such as yours! I also wanted to thank you for being so candid on having to poop during labor; it's something so normal, I don't understand why people are still surprised/embarrassed when they hear it happens. Women are literally pushing a live human out of their bodies, it would actually be more surprising if they didn't poop as well hahaha. Love your videos and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!
I’m new to your channel and I do not have words to express how much you touch my heart… the way you express your gratitude to the Lord for all the blessings you had during your labor and your life. God bless you, your husband your children ! For more videos like this so honest, so transparent so full full of love 💕🌷
Oh my goodness she looks like a baby doll. I’m in love 🥰
her skin is so smooth! she’s beautiful. she looks like a doll as others are saying lol.
The joy of the Lord is always shining through you! You are such a positive person. I love how you always see the bright side of things.
That pelvic pain is mind-blowingly painful. The relief is instantaneous when baby is finally out. My baby girl was born two weeks ago. God bless and congratulations!
You are literally the cutest mom ♥️♥️♥️
Love your perspective on labor! I'm 33 weeks with my 2nd. It's not been that long, but I forget how tiny and still they are at first. These videos are getting me even more excited to meet baby 2!
Thank you for including the part about poop. There should be no shame in that, you are right. Many women do poop while giving birth.
Yeah, I tried to keep my screaming down during my home birth for my daughter's sake. Lots of pillow screaming. And I also pooped a lot! Even my midwife said it was a lot lol😅
Another neat thing was my husband said I was really hot to the touch. He couldn't believe the heat coming off me. I actually don't remember feeling hot. Labor is a LOT, ya'll.
Your beautiful daughter looks like such a doll. Congratulations mama you did amazing. ❤️
Your birth video was beautiful and so emotional. I love how you got your kids involved and asked for them straight away 💖
Ohmygoshness I had no idea that you were a fellow BCian. Even funnier, I am across the bridge and our communities are majority connected.
You are so amazing
I’m Molly and I have an older sister Rachel 🤗 I love watching your birth vlogs. I’ve had one baby 6 months ago and your birth vlogs are so encouraging and inspirational. Congratulations !
She is beautiful!!!
Congratulations...God protect your family!!!!
Omg look at her little feet 🥺 she's so small 🥺 may the Lord always protect you and your family 💜
Wow congratulations on your beautiful little girl ❤️ she literally looks like one of those lifelike dolls when your showing her to the camera, she’s so precious and so cute 😍
My oldest daughter is Rachel! Love the full name. Hey, I love that you show your kids faces, not just their feet or the back of their heads. I think it’s weird when family TH-camrs do that. Thanks for sharing your life with the world!
it’s not weird, it’s showing respect and privacy for their child which is SO important!
Respecting children’s privacy is not weird
Oh seriously people! Just my opinion. Not a cause for debate. I just like it that Sarah shows their cute faces. It tells a full story.
There are major creeps online that take screenshots of children’s faces for their sick purposes. Many parents are uncomfortable with that. It’s perfectly normal to want to protect the privacy of one’s children online.
Sarah you have really inspired me to have a home birth in the future! I love hearing you’re advice and experiences. Also at 8:15 time stamp molly put her hands up so quick like “PICK MEEE UPP” 😭 she like looks a doll!
Congratulations to you and Kieran, on the birth of Molly Rachel. Thank you Father God for holding our dear sister Sarah and her little family in the palm of your hand. Enjoy your little daughter Sarah, it's such a privilege to be a mother. Your sister in Christ, Ann Marie xox
Speechless! Glory to God 🙏🏾. She absolutely beautiful. Well done ☺️.
The comb use is GENIUS!!!!!! Wish I would have thought of this. Ice would work also.
What a beautiful little baby! Congratulations!!!! 😍 We're having our first at home any day now, thanks for sharing such an encouraging story!
Also you look great! ✨
What a sweet little Molly dolly!!!! I’m so happy for you and your family!!! The Lord has blessed you and shone His upon you!!!!
This is so beautiful! Probably the best birth story I have seen. I have had four lovely children, no epidural births! Congrats and all the best blessings of the Lord to your family!
