This was such a privilege to watch, the moments you had with your sister really touched me. its amazing what womans bodies can do. Thanks for sharing this precious story with us
Me too! When she grabs her hair and her shirt…. how lucky they are to have each other!
Now that's not just a husband. That's a birthing partner. That was simply incredible. You guys should be so, so proud. You did so good Sarah. Congratulations to you both. Beautiful to witness.
I love how Kurt is not just supportive, but he acts like he experiences this pain ed emotions with you. So beautiful to watch 💛
This is the kind of partner everyone should strive to have. Sarah is so lucky.
The absolutely raw emotion on Sarah’s face when she pulled her son up to her for the very first time…it was such a beautiful moment. 👼
I’ve been following Sarah since like 2016, when she was still going to college, deciding what to do. Meeting Kurt and starting a life with him. I sobbed through Fox’s birth and I’m sobbing through this one 🤍. Just a total stranger from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, watching my best friend Sarah 🤍. Thank you for sharing, sister 🤍.
Same! I feel like we have all grown along with her over the past 6 or 7 years and this is just such a beautiful thing to witness! I was sobbing through this whole video. I didn’t even cry when my sisters gave birth! 😂
Girl you are a warrior! Just seeing the difference from Fox’ labor and delivery compared to this one… far out girlfriend. Absolutely amazing!!!
Been here for so many years following you and Kurt’s journey, now you’re a mother of 2! Cried all the way through this. You are powerful and so strong. Congratulations to you both. Sending all the love and happiness to you all x
Sarah! When I watched Fox’s birth vlog we had just had our first miscarriage. Watching this one I am 37 weeks pregnant today! You are such an inspiration for all of us mommy’s and mommy’s to be! I balled my eyes out just like I did with Fox’s! Amazing job mama! 🤍
BAWLING. God bless your beautiful boy❤️ thank you for sharing this with us
Thank you for sharing this moment! Sarah: “Don’t touch me” Kurt: 😇
The dream team with your sister Em! I can’t wait until Malakai joins in on the vlogs with Fox!
it’s so incredible how supportive and comforting kurt is with you. he seems as if he is such a good dad and partner. I love how positive you are and how much research you do about everything you do for your body inside and out! you are amazing and so is your birth of your beautiful new boy ❤️ congrats to your family ❤️
Did anyone else get really emotional watching this? I can’t wait until the day me and my partner get to have our first baby!
"Checking out and being alone with my hood on was so helpful" ABSOLUTELY! I wore noise canceling headphones (piano music playing) for each of my home births and I never took them off until it was time to push baby out. I think it's like primal instinct or something for mamas to want to hide and be alone to just do the damn thing in peace LOL beautifully done mama! He's perfect.
Seeing that relief and love on your face when you are finally holding him in your arms just made me cry my eyes out! Such a perfect moment! ❤
So happy for you all ❤
I’ll admit I haven’t given birth or watched any birth videos besides yours, but I am brought to tears by the pain and beauty of this moment for you and really all of us collectively as humans. Much respect and love to you - Sarah, Kurt, and the whole family. Thank you for sharing.
This video made my husband cry! (The man who didn’t cry at our wedding or when we found out we’re pregnant)… this was just the most raw and beautiful thing I’ve ever watched ♥️
Congrats mama and baby Malakai! This is truly beautiful and as someone who also did a natural birth with their first it was really interesting to see how baby number to was and the thought process of relating it back to the first but also making the right decision for you and baby. I would love to do another natural birth but I am also open if needed to take the pain meds if I feel that it is what I need in that moment. Thank you for sharing this journey online for other mamas and families to witness. I cant imagine pushing my girl out so sick and on no sleep. You are so strong and you DID IT!!
This is absolutely incredible, as a midwife I understand and I am so blown away at how vulnerable you are by sharing this with the world! This vlog is so beyond inspiring, your birth team were just incredible and this really makes me so emotional! So happy for you and your fam and beautiful Malakai 👼you are such a rockstar and please take care of yourself and focus on yourself and your beautiful family for a while! Congrats Sezzy, Kurt and Fox ❤️
I cannot imagine reaching down and pulling out your own baby into your arms. I was blown away when the nurse said that it was something they could do if Sarah wanted. I’m so excited to see what Sarah says about that part of her experience
And yet it's the most natural thing in the world that many women do instinctively anyway.
I was shocked when my midwife asked me to reach down and pickup my baby after labouring for over 12 hours, but am so glad she did. My baby was not well and very floppy, she had breathing problems the first year of life and lots of tests for cystic fibrosis as she had many signs even during my pregnancy. Thankyou Jesus she is a healthy 21 year old about to have my first grandson.
Congratulations Tilse Family!
Sarah, you’re a warrior 💓 what an empowering birth
I'm 26, and as someone who has been wanting to have a baby since as far back as I can remember, this makes me feel like I just can't wait. Thankyou for sharing.
I'm 26 too!! I'm so so wanting a bub! But I have to finish uni and build a house first!
Im 26 too this month, also waiting to finish school but I literally just decided what I want to do 😩
The part with you and Em on the ball was so sweet🥺 she’s so supportive! Congratulations guys 🤍
I cried. I can tell you as a labor nurse you did PHENOMENALLY. I’m so glad you captured this and are so open to sharing it with the world! I got to watch it with my step daughter and she was in awe! Beautiful work, momma! 🤍
Congratulations Tilse family!! I have been watching you for 5 years now and to be on this journey with you and watch your family grow is the biggest blessing! Love you all xx
Sarah, I love the strength you showed in requesting that epidural with confidence and positivity in your decision. Too often women are looked down on for choosing what is best for them in that moment! I think you have empowered so many women with this vlog and your positive and unaplogetic attitude 🤍 Congratulations, Sezzy and Kurt! (:
Oh, I didn’t know I could produce that many tears! This was so, so beautiful to watch your family of 3 become a family of 4! My heart is bursting right now xxxx
What a woman! This hits so differently with going through birth myself, I can’t truly see the Miracle of childbirth and know the feelings you felt. What an amazing moment and so privileged to be able to share it with you. ❤️
I literally broke down in tears and my heart literally dropped in happiness can’t believe he is here you did the best Sarah and we are all here for you…♥︎
I've never seen a baby look so cute after just being born!
congratulations! xxx
“don’t touch me” and Kurt’s face after hahah that was funny. But seriously, you killed it. Such an amazing birth to watch, thank you for sharing 💗
There's so much stigma around epidurals and I was hoping not to have one either but it literally turned my terrifying/ traumatic labour experience in to the most beautiful thing in the world. You did amazing, congratulations ❤️❤️
There really is!! I had a back to back labour, and they would not let me move so I was on my back which was so painful the only place I was comfortable was the birthing ball. In the end, I got an epidural and the first thing my grandma said to me when she saw me was “I knew you wouldn’t be able to handle the pain” like back to back labour is awful, I was told I smashed my birth / labour and then she said that to me when she visited 💔
@@itswaytoomucheffort5424 I'm so sorry, birthing a new life in to the world whichever way is a massive achievement and every single woman's experience is different but equally as incredible. Not to generalise but I think people from older generations just didn't have that choice and had it of been there and they had been in your situation, they probably would have opted for pain relief too! Don't let one persons words affect the power you hold in birthing your baby. You would have done a wonderful job and the main priority is a healthy baby and healthy (both mentally and physically) Mumma afterwards ❤️
@@itswaytoomucheffort5424 I'm so sorry she said that to you. Every labor/birth is different. There isn't a right or wrong way to do it, there is just what is right for that particular time for the baby and mother involved. Don't let her unfiltered, nasty comment color your birth memories!!
@@itswaytoomucheffort5424 literally who cares. That was your labour and your baby was born and that’s all that matters.
@@ebonycolliver2164 definitely is a generation thing! I was also induced and had the drip which makes labour pains worse apparently 😂 I know I smashed my labour and delivery and I’m so proud that I brought my baby into the world. But when she said that, I felt so small. I don’t regret my epidural and if I was to do it again I would have it. People just have such a negative thing against epidural and I don’t understand why 😂 any other pain they would say take whatever helps the pain but when it comes to birth it’s different 🤷🏼♀️😂 xx
Currently 20 weeks with my first baby and I BALLED watching this. So so so beautiful🥺💖
Crying my eyes out, you can literally feel the love in the room Sarah. It’s a love I can only wish for to receive one day. Congratulations on you beautiful boy, loved the video. Xx
I've re-written this comment so many times trying to articulate how amazing this was and how much it has helped me. Just, thank you. Congratulations on bringing such a beautiful healthy boy into the world.
I know! In the end, a simple and heartfelt congratulations is all I could come up with ☺️
Did anyone else cry throughout this whole video ? I'm 15 weeks pregnant but still this was amazing to watch
When you said “I feel so alone in my body”, I really felt that. We can be surrounded by all the love in the world but giving birth is a lonely experience. You did amazingly and even more so considering how poorly you were. Congratulations mama x
Also, there’s no shame in getting an epidural. I’ve birthed 3 times, 2x drug free and my last baby with an epidural and it was a wonderful experience. I was so present when she arrived which was everything
Omg Sarah feels like only yesterday we were all watching lil foxes entrance into this world! So special lots of love to you all! Xoxox
The way you were holding onto your sister when you were on the birthing ball just made me want to cry 😭❤️ this was truly beautiful. Congratulations xxx
I’m 5 months pregnant and I’m over here bawling, this was so beautiful. I’ve been so scared of birth and these videos just remind me that I can do it, thank you Sarah 💕
This is incredible! Bawled my eyes out as I did with fox’s birth!
Looked like an incredibly healing experience for you Sarah I’m so happy for you xx
No tears were left! My 6 year old daughter has been checking youtube everyday waiting for this video! Her words were "mum she is amazing GOD bless her"! And said yay foxy you have a brother... you did amazing congratulations to your beautiful family.
I’ve never seen a birth vlog more incredible and encouraging. My 2nd baby will be here in 7ish weeks and you Sarah, have made me excited beyond words. My first delivery was scary and not at all what we expected… I can only hope this one goes smoother!
Love on that sweet boy so much!
This was, by far, the most beautiful thing I have ever seen! What a beautiful baby boy!!!!!!! Congratulations Tilse family 🥳💙
Omg I fought back tears watching this. Brought back memories of when I was in labor with my daughter. So proud of you Sarah! Could definitely see the difference between your first labor and now. You are a superwoman. Thank you for sharing this intimate moment with us. 🤍
Now that I'm going through a scary pregnancy myself, seeing this has made me BAWL! What a beautiful end to a hard pregnancy journey. Watching you receive him was pure magic. He's beautiful and I'm so thankful that you're willing to share this moment with us.
Hang in there momma every dang symptom will resolve once baby comes wishing you the best 🤍🤍
Absolutely sobbing watching this! I never thought I wanted kids until watching your vlogs and watching this video just confirmed it for me. So emotional, congratulations to you all, you did amazing Sezzy!! Sending love to you, Kurt, and your little family🥰
Its so beautiful to watch your sister be by your side through this... i just love it. So special
That moment when you were on the ball and you hand your fingers in your sisters hair.. made my heart skip a beat. What a beautiful moment between you two.
Thank you for sharing. 💛
I have literally followed you since the beginning. Since you had under 100k subscribers. Watching your journey has been so incredible. I cried legit 2 mins into this vlog. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. It’s an honor to be apart of your birth stories. Welcome to the world Malakai!!!!
I watched this 2 years ago and it is still the most precious birth vlog I’ve seen. So so inspiring and powerful.
I honestly cried when you felt his head and when you pulled Malakai out. All those emotions 🥰🥰 your beautiful little family x
All the labour blogs I see I already tear up but this one was above and beyond. I’ve had two babies myself and it brings me right back to those moments. God it was such a beautiful beautiful video to watch. You are so strong Sarah! Congratulations ❤️❤️
women are so amazing!
& her husband is incredible too! every woman deserves a partner like that during the scary & difficult time of childbirth
I’m so beyond ecstatic for you to have such a positive birth experience, and just seeing you cry of happiness is just so amazing. Congratulations on the birth of your gorgeous Malakai ❤️
That’s incredibly beautiful to watch! Congratulations,Sarah, Kurt and Fox 🦊💜. I’m 35 weeks pregnant 🤰🏻 now myself with a baby girl and can’t wait to meet her
@@plantemor it is, and to be honest I’m super nervous /anxious. Thank you for your well wishes
@@wanderlust3292 I cross my fingers and toes for you, dad and bebeh and congratulations! One of my friends is having her first child in a month's time - also a little girl - and she's super excited! :D so many new little humans arriving this spring
@@plantemor thank you so much! Being supported on-and offline is so important. I hope your friend‘s little girl will arrive safely, too 💜. Lots of love
@@wanderlust3292 You're welcome! And thank you for creating a new little human ^___^
Kurt’s and Em’s love and support through both births is what makes me ball my eyes out
I’m pregnant with my first and I literally just sobbed throughout this vlog. To see the love and support you had through this birth was just so beautiful ♥️ you did so so well mama! Such a warrior xx
I’ve never been so happy for someone I don’t even know. Cried the whole way through. Congratulations Tilse fam!! 💕
I cried happy tears. This was the most beautiful video. So happy for you and your family. You are a super woman. This was a privilege to watch. Congratulations Malaki is gorgeous. 💕
I am nowhere near ready to have a baby but here I am bawling my eyes out at how beautiful this was. Congratulations to the Tilse Family ❤️
This was so special, I'm still crying! 😢❤️ You're such a warrior, Sarah, and I really look up to you and all the choices you made for your pregnancy, labour and your sweet baby boy ❤️
When “This I Believe” came on I absolutely lost it. The love you and your family have for God and the trust you’ve put in him throughout this whole pregnancy and everything that you do makes me adore all of you even more. So beyond happy for you Sezzy, you are so empowering & congratulations to the Tilse Family 🥰
I cant't believe how emotional I was all throughout this vlog! this was absolutely beautiful Sarah! You are so blessed. I hope I get to experience this one day.
Loved every second of it! So special you let us in like this, so vulnerable. Thank you Sarah!!
Oh my goodness!! it only seems like yesterday that you posted fox’s birth vlog and now here’s malakai’s 🥰❤️
I don't have a sister, but watching this gave me the insight of how deep a connection it is. You and Em are tied together forever. What a beautiful video, Sezzy. You did it!
Such a beautiful moment there at the end!
I didn’t realise I was sitting there tearing up with my mouth open in awe until my daughter stuck her fingers in my mouth 😂
So happy for you all
Kurt's love and support during your labors is so incredible! I absolutely love this. You two are amazing! 💛 Congratulations on your sweet boy!
Bawling. BAWLING!! My heart exploded open with your generosity and gorgeous new son. I am humbled and so happy for your whole blessed family.
Currently 39+4 and was so excited to be able to see this before our baby is here. When you touched his head and started crying I started crying. Such a beautiful and emotional time! Congrats again to you all! 💗
I’ve had 3 boys and now in my 40s…Sarah…you’ve made me remember every single moment of all 3 births and how blessed this experience is. Enjoy every single second. Children are a blessing. ❤️❤️
Ps. Kurt is a legend of a husband. Completely present and supportive. It’s never about him, all about his wife and child. A godly man.
Just a side note that Kurt’s time will come and he will always shine his light for your family. He’s been doing it all along 💪💪
Extra ps mention. I’m a single mum of 3 boys. We “dropped the ball”. I own my side. Don’t drop the ball 👍💪
Congratulations on your are baby boy!!! I actually cried the moment he came out and you held him. Praying for health and happiest for your family❤
The way you pulled him up and on to your chest and cuddled him tight was so precious 💕 the look on your face when you first saw him was so sweet 🥲
Girrrrrl, this made me cry so hard. You were both so sick, and still birthed like a Rockstar ! So beautiful xxx
Childbirth is one of the most challenging incredibly hard raw amazing things us women go through. Well done Sarah congrats on your beautiful new addition 🖤🖤
I got epidural ASAP with my first and I will be with my second, enjoyed my labour and birth so much thanks to epidural.
Just hit 39 weeks with my boy and I’m SO excited for this!! 😍 sooo happy for you! 🥲 ❤️
I’m still crying after an hour and I swear I haven’t cried in over a year!!
It’s been such a bumpy road for you all praying your recovery is going well and that you and Bub have settled at home for good this time 🤞🏽🥰🥰
Girl. I had a sunnyside up baby and labor was CRAZY INTENSE. Proud of you for getting as far as you did all while being sick. Congratulations!!
Congratulations Sarah! I can’t stress enough how hard labor can get and some people may never understand that pain but you are very strong especially taking your own baby out girl what😳! I love this energy ❤️ and I pray your family grows happy and healthy 💕
I’m over here bawling 😭 especially when you brought him to this world and onto your chest. Such a raw a beautiful moment. Congratulations can’t be written big enough. And how Em was supporting you just brightens my soul your bond is amazing 💕🥰
loved watching this just as much as the first one. sarah you’re amazing and you should never feel less than or any shame/guilt for getting an epidural. labor is a wild and painful (but beautiful experience)! AND you listened to your body which is the most important thing! congrats on the new baby 🤍
Im crying here, all the other way around the world in Uruguay, this is amazing and thank you for sharing this with us, rom being here from the first years to now a family of four, congrats Sarah you deserve all the joy in the world.
I have no words ! You are such a WARRIOR 🥰 I admire how calm and strong you were. I can't believe how much I am crying right now lol ! Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience with us Sezzy ❤️
I can not believe how far you got without an epidural and in so much pain, you are such a warrior ❤
i'm due in july with my first and i have been so nervous. so scared of somethings not going right but you made me feel so much better. i cried watching you be so strong!!! thank you so much for being so vulnerable you really do so much for the women out here. you're awesome girl!!! been a fan for so long love you lots sarah 🤍
I’m so happy this is up❤️ all the love to you, Kurt, Foxy and little Malakai😘.
I am 35 weeks 5 days pregnant and up until Wednesday of last week I wanted to do water therapy for pain (these braxton hicks contractions are no joke) I decided I was gonna get the epidural. I’m disappointed I won’t be able to go natural, but at the same time I know the pain is no joke during actual labor. I am so grateful for videos like yours where an epidural is the right choice because your body, at a certain point, just can’t handle the pain anymore. I can’t believe you delivered an 8lb baby!!!! My dr is worried our little girl might be too big right now, but we’ll find out on the 22nd at our next growth scan. Thank you for sharing your positive broth experience!! These videos really help me to know some of the things to expect.
This gave me all the feels. I too wanted to give birth without pain meds but like you it just became too much especially with a posterior baby. 18 hours later I ended up getting the epidural too. This was so refreshing to see ❤️
Omg this made me so emotional. When you reach down and pull him up was so amazing!
Makes me excited for the birth of my son in 3 weeks.
Congratulations!!
This brought literal tears to my eyes. Way to go momma!
Thank you for sharing your journey with us! Congratulations on another healthy baby boy! Love you guys
Omg wow! So proud of you! Broke down crying when you first got to feel his head!
Thankyou for sharing your beautiful experience with us all x
I am SO proud of you. I don’t personally know you but honestly, I’m just so proud! Well done mama. God bless your beautiful,healthy and admirable family of 4!!! 😭❤️
I'm 31 weeks and I SOBBED as you held your little man for the first time. Had my hand on my tummy feeling my baby move and told him I can't wait to meet him. Congratulations 🥳 💖 from a QLDer 🥰
I absolutely cried my eyes out with how beautiful this experience was and how well you both handled the labour 🥰 he is absolutely beautiful ❤️
The joy I felt watching this video was indescribable. Watching you go through a breakup and heartache, healing yourself, finding Kurt, having Fox, getting married & now having Malakai. So grateful to witness this journey from the beginning
Thank you for sharing Sarah! I’m currently sick with covid and due in 3 days. I’m praying the exact same prayer that God’s timing is perfect.
So incredibly happy for you and your family you're an amazing mother 💗💗
You have no idea how much we appreciate you sharing this INCREDIBLE moment in your life. Congratulations Tilse family! We love you 🙏💐💕
Just so amazing xxx
