My wonderful midwife Andrea stayed 3hrs over her shift to see Thea in to the world all because earlier in all my madness I made her promise not to leave me! She kept her promise- an angel from heaven who I till this day have nothing but love and admiration for x
I'm not a mummy(yet) but I absolutely love listening to your stories about your beautiful boys and the whole mummy experience from pregnancy to Labour to baby's arrival 💖
Aw I just cried watching this! I had my first baby in March this year at home using hypnobirthing and my midwife Maria was just perfect. I didn’t want any intervention and she was completely respectful and just held my hand the whole time. I was so in the zone that time is all distorted but I knew she was there. My baby arrived but was very tiny and wasn’t breathing properly so they dealt with him very quickly, my husband went in the ambulance with our son and Maria stayed with me to birth the placenta which unfortunately didn’t happen there as I think my body just clammed up at thy point. Maria stayed with me in the ambulance and made sure I got settled. She came to see us the next day and that’s when I found out she was in the midst of planning her mother’s funeral! 😢 there are no words. Well except Thank you Maria with all our hearts. We are all happy, safe and well because of her dedication and unwavering commitment in the saddest of times. ❤️🙏🏻
I'm so pleased to see you back, and although I missed you, was so pleased that you took a step back from everything over the past few months - you look bloody amazing and can't wait to see more content. Your 3 boys are beautiful 💙
Oh what a moving video! The love and happiness shines through you, you’re a star xxx
I had the most amazing student midwife with me in August when I had my first baby. She’d been with me from my first appointment which I know is rare and she made, what could have been a very scary experience, completely amazing and safe for me. I was so lucky to have here there.
What a gorgeous and very true and reflective birth story, Gi! Third babies can be pickles but they always keep you on your toes. As midwives, we don't do the job for the thank you we get at the end. We do it because we are passionate about supporting birthing people and their families through the life journey of pregnancy, birth and the fourth trimester of postnatal care... so when we get thank you's.... it's the icing on the cake! So special and treasured! Xx
Yay!! I have been waiting for this video! Love hearing birth stories. Congratulations xx
SO nice to see you back! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Love your family so much xxxx
What a lovely video about our midwifery. Thank you for sharing your stories constantly. Not a mum yet - but def something to bear in mind when I do have children. Thanks again for sharing.
I adored this video! I’m a student Midwife, and the thank you Midwife campaign has actually really helped spirits within us midwives! It’s not an easy life, but we do it because we love to support women and their families. Beautiful birth story Gi ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your story!! I'm expecting my first and your story is such a lovely comfort.
I had a wonderful midwife with my son. She was trained in aromatherapy and gave me a massage during labour and taught my husband how to do it. She was such a great support. Xx
Wow watching this has brought back all my memories from my 2nd baby in June. So amazing and wonderful 😍 xx
Amazing story. My midwives made my birth such a positive experience. None of it went to plan and it could have been so traumatic but they were utterly amazing and I was left feeling so grateful that myself and my son had made it through all the trauma safely. Couldn’t be more grateful for their skill and patience x
Thanks for this, as a midwife I don’t work for thank you’s but it’s still such a boost seeing some positive press and gratitude
I loved my first Midwife Chloe, she was bloody amazing through out my pregnancy and labour. Hand on heart i love that woman and will never ever forget her!
I’m due on the 3rd of March but after quite a stressful pregnancy I’m already so appreciative of my local midwives, they’ve made every step of the way and every small scare so much more bearable x
Thank you for sharing Gi, lovely birth story. Xoxo
Midwife's are amazing. I had an a wonderful lady when I had my daughter. She kept telling me I was well, kept me calm. Helped keep my birth as close as I could to the plan as that was important to me. Her name was Joy.... What a perfect name for a midwife as they help bring so much joy I to the world. Thank you Joy xXx
The midwife who delivered my older brothers came in on her day off especially to deliver me, she told the nurses to ring her when my mum came in 💜
I am not a mother yet but I am so excited to be, hopefully, in a few years! These videos are always so nice to watch because they make me feel a lot more relaxed about pregnancy and birth. So thank you very much xxx
We had our third little girl on 23rd August 2018. My midwife was so so lovely, she sat back and trusted me and my body. She reassured me that I could do it when I needed the reassurance. She was perfect for us. She also broke my waters because we were stuck at 4cm and baby Imogen was born just 10 minutes later! I am so in awe of the incredible job they do. Such a special and valued job
Please don't leave us anymore! I love your channel, come back ❤️ thank you for sharing this beautiful story ❤️
I loved my labor and delivery nurses (the US version of the midwife) and they were amazing. I was in labor for 25 hours and had 3 nurses in total. They were phenomenal with me and I didn’t have the easiest delivery. I wrote them some very big thank you when it was all said and done
I've been waiting for this ❤
Not a mother yet but this makes me excited to be in a few years to come, so reassuring, lovely to hear your story gi
I’m giving birth in 13 weeks for the first time. I have heard so many different things off different people but listening to you made me feel like it’s all going to be ok. X
Don't have any stories to share as I'm not a mum yet but I just think midwives are INCREDIBLE & AMAZING they just don't get enough credit or appreciation for what they do!!!💖☺
oh my god I sobbed, this is so beautiful, the midwives were amazing when I had my little boy, especially the one who's chest my water shot at 😂 when I apologised afterwards she was just really supportive
Yeah u r back beautiful video xxxx
Love hearing birthing stories, each baby is always so different. I've had 4 babies and the first was pretty standard, second was my nightmare one, third was my so quick I barely made it to hopsital and number 4 was pretty pain free and easy and despite the circumstances you treasure each one.
A good midwife makes a huge difference! I was looked after by some amazing midwives. I had the same to break or not to break waters for the same reason with baby 3. 20 minutes later out she flew back to back, hand on head. My experience was so good after terrible times with babies 1 and 2 that im now a student midwife myself.
AWW! My son's name is Maxwell. His nursery is decorated in baby woodland animals theme, with "Max" and little mushrooms foxes and tree cutouts above his crib. Such a cute name :) I am due a week from today x I have been watching so many videos lately to ease my nerves. Little Maxwell will be my first. Thank you so much for sharing your birth story!! 💕
I'm in Australia and have had my first baby in September. I had a wonderful midwife and student midwife help me deliver my baby. They were so supportive and helpful didnt make me feel awkward or embarrassed and took such great care of us.
Congratulations on the birth of baby Max!
Last year I gave birth to our little boy in a hospital in Germany. I was nervous about giving birth to a baby in a foreign hospital but the midwife we had was incredible. She was so kind and put us both as ease.
After our son was born and we were about to be wheeled out of the Labour ward she came up to me and held my hand and said it was such a privilege to deliver our baby as my husband and I were so polite and kind to her and that it isn’t something that always happens, which really shocked me!
Thank you for sharing Gi. I had my first baby at Telford, Shropshire. The maternity unit is getting a lot of bad press this week and has been for a number of years. However, myself and my NCT Tribe all had our babies (9 in total) at the same hospital within weeks of each other. And not one of us can fault the care we were given by the midwives. My own experience may be described as traumatic by some but from the moment I was admitted to the moment my baby was safely in my arms I was fully supported. Unfortunately I ended up back in hospital a week after I had my baby and was very touched that the midwife who helped deliver my baby came to find me to check I was ok. So to the midwives at Princess Royal Telford - a big massive thank you from myself, 6 other mums and our 9 gorgeous babies. Xxx
I’m currently writing my essay for my midwifery degree and was feeling slightly frustrated... watching your video has just reminded me why I’m doing this degree, to help wonderful women like you. Thank you. The midwifes who looked after you are who I hope to be like x
Just discovered this podcast-if not too nosey,Rachel, I would be so interested to know how you're getting on. I know how tough it is to get a place on this course, let alone do it, amazing achievement.
How lovely! Good campaign, me and my brother are twins and my mum had some pretty amazing midwifes!
Midwives are amazing! I had two amazing births. The first in a MLU which sadly closed while I was pregnant with my second baby- so I opted for a home birth. It was amazing. I had two awesome midwives who came into my home. We all sat and watched TV together while my laboir progressed fairly quickly (when one arrived at 730pm I was already 5cm dilated and he arrived at 230am on his due date the next day). One of the midwives left once they knew he was all good and the other midwife took me up to my bathroom and literally bathed me and helped me into bed before leaving. #thankyoumidwife
This is the cutest video xxxx
Love how you watched Micheal McIntyres road show to help your labour your such a good mama and Tom is such a good day
I had my baby a matter of minutes after you on the same day this year so it’s lovely to hear your story!x
I don't have a birth story to share....but I'm on my own journey in becoming a midwife. It's taking longer than I hoped but I will get there! I'm determined not to give up x
Keep going with your journey, the bumps along the way will make you stronger and we learn something from everything.
Niamh O Reilly aww thank you! I will 😊
I’m thirteen and it is my life ambition to be a midwife. I didn’t go to school for two years and I’m only catching up now, so I’m behind. Thank you for this.
Phoebe Williams Keep going! You will get there...it doesn’t matter how old you are when you become a midwife...you will do it...some people’s journeys take longer but it doesn’t mean they won’t get there. Keep going Phoebe! X
@@phoebewilliams6981 I’m eleven and I have the exact same dream. Good luck!!
I'm due boxing day, crazy as this sounds, but I'm absolutely looking forward to the birth! This is my 1st baby, we planned for a home birth, but due to low platelets and low HB we are now having a hospital birth, I'm taking this all in my stride, and love listening to these birth stories it's really helping!!!
I'm a nurse, I've met some amazing midwives so far in this journey, from those that just pop their head in to say hello, to the community midwife who sees me at every appointment. #thankyoumidwife and Thank you G xx
Lovey to listen to many congratulations you have definitely introduced me to hypno birthing if I am lucky enough to have the third baby I would definitely look into it xx
My midwives were amazing but the student Midwife Hannah was astounding. She made my birthing experience so pleasant and she was a real star. She gave me support and kept a close eye on me the whole time and helped keep me calm. I did hypnobirthing to a degree in terms of breathing and my birth the second time round was so much more pleasant. I let my body take over and I will always be grateful to my midwives for that.
Well done to all midwives out there. You do an amazing job.
I’m a nurse in special care baby unit and get to work with some AMAZING midwives!
My baby was in scbu, thank you for all you do :) X
Jeasica Wares it’s the best job in the world ❤️
Just watched this video im currently 21 weeks with my first baby and your story has made me a little less anxious about the whole experience. I wanted to look into hypnobirthing it seems like a good way to go
Congratulations To you and your family!
so lovely and inspiring ❤
The kind midwifes that helped me through my labour and delivery meant the world to me. three\ midwifes in perticular. I was in labour for 46 hours and had one midwife for the entire of her 12 hour shift and was ever so greatfull for her support and kind words that keept me, hubby and my mum going through that sleep deprived time. the other midwife worked tirdlessly to get us out of the hospital after beeing in for 5 days she made me feel like the only person she was helping. the third midwife really helped me hand express to feed my son untill he caught on ( though he NEVER did) because of her my milk supply came in and i was at least able to express to feed him. midwifes are amazing q
I gave birth via c section to my beautiful baby boy Zachary yesterday. The midwifes on the ward have been amazing helping me established breastfeeding.
I never knew midwives were even still a thing until a few years ago! That’s how unapreciated they are 😂
I’m not a mum yet (only 21 here) but really want a kid eventually. It’s really reassuring that these people exist because even though I want it, it terrifies me. Also, your birth stories always make me feel more secure in what I want. I read your book and got really emotional over it. You don’t deny the “ugly” side of things but understand and communicate the worth in the good❤️
My youngest is now 25 and my fourth child My midwives were all brilliant I had short labours but horrendous back pain with my last baby I heard the midwife tell my husband not to panic me Her chord was round baby's neck twice and so tight she was amazing and so calm and our little girl was born a lovely way to end my days of having babies
Gi is everything I want to be in life. A true role model ❤️
Clicked so fast.
MISSING YOU GI 💜💜💜💜💜
Hi Giovanna I’ve just watched you ,I’m just new to your channel I and I follow your husband on Instagram. I must say you’re both really wonderful parents are very inspirational. My daughter had a baby this year our first grandchild and also she had water pool,which she hoped for that info but in the end she had to have an emergency Caesarean but all turns out well.
Keep up the good work and I also have four children and they are absolute pleasure .
Xx
Are you going to do a Bump to Max video ? Xx
Milie I was going to ask that! I’ve been wondering whether they did one!
I've been looking for this video too
I was going to ask this 2
We would really love that, Gi! ❤️
AE Fan doubt it. She don’t make money from it
I haven’t had children yet but I do a therapy session with a wonderful midwife called Alice. I’m sure she won’t mind me sharing but she isn’t able to have children of her own and considers midwifery her way of giving back to the world - bringing children into the world and in that way, in a tiny way, each baby she delivers is a little part her own. That truly inspires me every day.
I love hearing people's positive birth stories, mine unfortunately wasn't so pleasant, but it fills me with hope that when I have a second I'll have a much better experience :-)
My midwife for my 3rd and last baby was amazing. The doctor had said I was taking too long and would have to have a c section. This midwife knowing that I did not want that politely told the doctor to leave and trusted my body to do what it would do. Which is exactly what happened! She also stayed so long past her night shift finishing just to support me.
I've got two children now and I would say that the two best meals I've ever had is the tea and toast after giving birth 😅
Lovely Gi! Is there going to be a bump to max video :)
I had a student midwife when I was pregnant, unfortunately she missed the birth as she was in court getting a divorce lol. She was so lovely and came to visit me and baby the day after in hospital and read through all my notes and explained them to me as I had emergency c-section. I couldn't imagine my pregnancy without me. I hope next time I have a baby she will be around to help me again
You are such a gorgeous person, inside and out! What a lovely story. I appreciated my midwives so much I intend to train as one next year
Just out of curiosity, will Max have a "Bump To Max" video?☺️
I haven't had any children, at this point in life, but I'm definitely the same in wanting to know what's going on medically. When I'm dealing with something medical, I take comfort in knowing what's scientifically happening.
I completely understand how you felt when you first got to the hospital to be told you were only 2cm. I was only 1cm when I first went and it was 20 hours later that my daughter finally arrived (but I went home during this time).
11.55: Same with my first, I had no idea about the placenta, so after I gave birth to my little girl and began to birth the placenta I thought I was having twins!! Much more knowledgeable second time round thank god, and my son is called Max too, he just turned 1 :)
Such a lovely birth story you are so right about the midwives I was just so thankful for having this special lady there with me next to my hubby of course especially when there was something wrong with baby and me at the end and she was there to guide me and talk me through what to do just like you I wouldn't of wanted to do it without her thank you for sharing your birth story and being the wonderful woman your are❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My midwife when I had my second child was stern and blunt so I was a bit taken back but, do you know what, i think i really needed that at the time and I'm grateful now that she was like that. I was on my own and my husband was an hour away in rush hour traffic, baby was going into distress and I needed an emergency csection so it actually helped that I wasn't mollycoddled and she was very matter of fact about everything. In the end, my 10lb son was born just as my husband got to the hospital.
Hi Gi, just wanted to say your skin looks fantastic you’re glowing, are you wearing makeup or is that your natural skin? Xxx
Can’t understand why people have disliked this video
I had the exact same thing! I got to 10cm something popped and my body got the baby out in 5 minutes, not a single push! Craziness
I had the exact same issue, my boys head was on a angle, and nothing happened and he never engaged even when I was at 10cm dilated. I was saying no to all examinations but then realised how long I was in labour so I let them check me, and I'm so glad I did as they only discovered this then and he kept hitting his head on my pelvis bone. He was slightly bruised when he was finally out, they had to put thier hand in and turn his head in order for him to get out 😵😵😵.
I've had 3 babies too and my third was definitely the most difficult because, like Max, she had got herself in a funny position. Therefore I had a lot of back pain. I'm so grateful to not just the midwives but to the Dr that delivered my 3rd and very awkward baby xx
We had the most amazing midwives when I went into the hospital to have our boy. We had a super lovely student midwife to start with and poor love looked a bit freaked but I was so chilled. She was trying to put the doughnut heart monitor thingies on my bump and couldn't find baby's heartbeat. But it was okay, No panicking here. She went to get her supervisor and they both came back. Turned out that baby was in breech and she couldn't find his heartbeat because he wasn't in the expected position. The midwife found his heartbeat straight away and we all breathed a sigh of relief but she had to get the doctor too as we'd just become high dependency/complicated birth. Well, then I chatted to the doctor and a surgeon. We had time to spare as I was only at 1-2cm so we were very chilled discussing what the options were and how things were going to happen, then having conversations with my Mum because we were going to need her help with extra care at home etc. We decided we were going straight to surgery, we were given the option for me to try and naturally deliver but there was a higher risk of complications for baby as well as higher risks of tears etc. So off we went and thank goodness we didn't try to labour naturally - our boy was 9lb 14.5 which is big for my small frame and his newborn head was so big it was off the newborn scale in the red book (my Mum brought a 9-12 months or 1-2-year-old hat with her when she came to see us in the hospital because none of the knitted newborn ones in the hospital box were big enough! We were so blessed by all the amazing staff they just looked after us so well leading up to the delivery (After was a slightly different story but on the whole we were so well looked after)
Thank you for sharing your story.
Would you be interested in doing a Baby Name Tag video?
Amazing you have such good in laws. Bet you were so torn with Buddy bumping his head and being in labour. X
My midwife was my mum's and she saved my big sister's life when my sister was born at home in 1956 and there was a young inexperienced midwife who because my sister didn't cry after being born left her at the end of mum's bed and mum's proper midwife saw her she got hold of my sister by the legs and upside down backed her back and she cried she was such an amazing she has died now but I love her to bits because I have my amazing big sister
Midwives are absolutely incredible people all of mine I had along the way with both of my babies were amazing in their own ways :) such a lovely video
Can I ask why you went with a name beginning with m.wheb your two others behind with b? I have two children whose names beginning with r and think if I was to have another I would stick to the same letter again
No hate or anything it's a gorgeous name in just interested if there was a reason behind it ❤️
Back pain in labour is the worse. With my last baby we had a great midwife half way through labour i was examined to find out she was breech. My daughter was born with natural breech birth with an epidural 20 mins past the end of my midwifes shift but she wanted to stay and see it though so ended up with the day midwife, night midwife, student midwife, dr, consultant, paediatric dr and another midwife with her in the room with me plus theatre staff on standby. She was fine
Is the happy mum happy baby live going to be available? Love them so much!
Did you know that 1 baby is born every 6 seconds 🤰🏻
I had my first baby in 9 hrs my second was born in 6 hours it went from 2 cm to fully delialated she was born I had a slight tear because her shoulder got caught I have been so fortunate because my mum was 24 hours in labour with each of her 7 children poor mum very brave
I had my baby at home locked in the bathroom! 😂
Hi Giavanna when my sister had my nephew Oliver, the midwives who was on our journey to deliver him safely at 7:30 doctor come in said u have til 8:30 to deliver him on your own our midwife finish at 7:50 at our hospital so my sister said not sorry after 27 hours his not taking me down for cut out I will push Ollie out 5 push later after midwives predict 7 pushes this little guy popped out born 8:01pm and sister blood out after the midwives stayed til 9:30 in the end I can't thank all pur midwives enough heros lot of them
I have nothing but positive things to say about my midwives. On my first baby they were a dream, I was in a zone and they just left me in that zone. I had diamorphine with my first, I didn't want an epi so I stuck to that and gas and air. The diamorphine well and truly wore off, I asked for more and the midwife said you can't have anymore yet, you will have to wait 2 hours or have an epi, so I said I'll wait. So 2 hours later I was still in labour which had progressed so much. I was still on the gas and air, I think I asked for the diamorphine I don't fully remember cause gas and air makes you feel a bit merry, a bit out of it. She went to get it and by the time she got back which was probably seconds (but felt like hours lol) I was pushing him out, a few pushes later he was here my beautiful baby boy weighing 5lb 15oz. Amazing experience that I still have very fond memories of and makes me want another 😂.
Then for my 2nd baby I had regular growth scans from 28 weeks as my little boy was small for a full term baby so they wanted to monitor me and baby. I had one at 28 weeks, 31 weeks, 34 weeks and that was up until 39 weeks. Anyway I went to my 34 week scan and she hadn't grown from the last one 3 weeks ago, I'd been on a couple of times with reduced movements and with that information they decided to induce me. So in I went on the Friday just excited to see my baby girl and get told they will induce me on Monday 😱 I was shocked. I could of fallen over, I did not expect it at all. Went in on the Monday and she managed to give me a sweep before inserting the pessery. Started having contractions thick and fast not long after. They then subsided completely so hubby went home for a bit of sleep then again WHAM they hit thicker and faster than before and I had to press me button to get help, they called downstairs to the ward to say I was coming. One of the 4 or so nurses around me had to ring my hubby to come back, thankfully as it was very late like 1 ish no traffic, so he got to me quickly. She was born at 2.18 weighing 3lb 14oz, she then spent 2 weeks in special care which was very hard but she's 2 now and doing great. Midwives on special care are AMAZING also. And I love watching and heating birth stories I could listen to them all day. Very sad to hear a lot feel undervalued, I had no idea until recently. I hope the ones I had don't feel like that. I know some have bad experiences but for me nothing but postives.
Bit congratulations on the safe arrival of max, he's so adorable. And sorry for the longest comment ever 😂
❤️❤️
I had my baby on the same day! Even the times were very similar- what tine was he born?? My little girl was born at 15.51!
I was 3cm dilated when I had my appointment at 39 weeks and my water broke when I was 39.6 weeks, got to the hospital and I was 5cm dilated and from there it took 3.5 hours before I had my baby in my arms. I pushed for 10 minutes 😂 they told me my second was gonna come first and boyyy they were right! Baby #3 will probably come out if I sneeze too hard! 😂
Are Buzz and Buddy nicknames? your hair is gorgeous!!
Nope they're their names....buzz Michelangelo and buddy bob
steph bannister oh wow really! Fair enough!
fab name choice-I have a Max too.
First timr seeing her, I keep seeing the baby club
Is she the one in Baby Club CBBEBIES ? 🙊🙊🙊 OMG lol 😭😭😭
I mean if you don’t have “dilates very quickly” on your CV you’ve missed a trick ;) pahah. I’m expecting my 2nd in very early February and absolutely SHITTING MYSELF. I think because my first labour went perfectly to my plan I feel like something has to go wrong this time. Awful mindset to have I know 😬
How did go?
Midwives are amazing I had sue with all 4 of mine and if it wasn't for her my 3rd baby wouldn't even be here,as she had turned and wrapped the cord around her neck twice,so was emergency c-section to save my daughter's and my life.
tom was eating his jelly babies :)
Just watched this wow I totally agree with not knowing the sex of your baby I did that and they're 23&20 now you carry the baby for 9 months go through labour for them to say it's a boy/girl and you to say oh I know new mums need a surprise after 9 months wondering
