    I watched on live and it was so raw and emotional but something about this angle, seeing Dan watch you. You can tell just by his face how much he enjoyed the experience as well! That was so special. Thank you for sharing this video! Congratulations on such a positive birth experience and your precious little boy! 🎉❤

      Really? He could have at least rubbed her back. Given some physical support.

    Wow, you did an awesome job of keeping it together to get your baby crying...I've seen so many moms start going absolutely bonkers when their babies don't scream the instant their born. And here you were handling a more serious situation calmly and practically...though I am certain your heart was in your throat the whole time!

    I originally watched your birth live & now recorded. Your birth live was beautiful, but your editing caught things like Dan holding your hand @ the end that I don't remember seeing. Little touches like that made your video so much more heartwarming.
    It was especially hard for me to see how long it took to get your baby breathing. I had an experience where 1 of my boys was born with his cord wrapped around his neck twice, so he was blue when he delivered & it seemed like forever before I heard him cry. Of course the tears were flowing both times when you delivered.
    I think that your baby was telling you that YOU are the rock star. You did so well! YOU were amazing mama!!

    I couldn’t help but burst into tears when she pulled him up on her chest and again when he started to cry. I just gave birth to my first baby nine weeks ago and I’ll never forget that moment when I first heard him cry. Congrats to you and your family, he’s so gorgeous! ❤️

    I’m currently 38 weeks and feeling lots of contractions non-stop. I can’t wait to meet my baby. You inspire me so much to have a calm and beautiful labor.

    @MB-vi8zp 2 роки тому +1

    You were so calm when he was born and took so long to cry! I was immediately scared when I saw he was so pale and limp. My youngest inhaled meconium at birth though so I guess I'm a little traumatized from that 😬 I'm glad your baby ended up being fine though. You were amazing! Such quiet and calm pushing I would never have known you were literally about to give birth.

  • @RainbowMiller
    @RainbowMiller 2 роки тому +22

    Lex, this was just incredible. I love seeing the different perspective from the live too! I know it was crazy at the end about where you'd give birth, but after watching this, I think it was a window closing so your door could open because this was amazing. You rocked this birth with so much grace and peace! So happy for you guys, huge congratulations, enjoy your sweet baby moon Xxx

    What an incredible birth story. Everything happened exactly as is was meant to. Welcome earth side, sweet baby boy.
    You did so good mama, so much control and wisdom listening to your body.
    We just found out we are expecting baby #4 (2 boys and 1 baby girl) and we are keeping this baby’s sex a surprise until birth. I can’t wait to birth my baby in my own home with only my loved ones.

    Such a beautiful birth! Good job mama and baby! Im 26w with #3 and I’ve never experienced my water breaking. Dr has always had to do it for me and once that happens all heck breaks lose. I’ve got a feeling that’s not how this birth is going to go and my hospital is 45 minutes away. Never thought to suck the baby’s nose with my mouth but I will definitely keep that knowledge in the back of head incase this birth doesn’t happen at the hospital! Congrats mama! 🥰

I know how empowering it feels to give birth naturally and at home. It was nice to watch again on UA-cam and from another angle and see/hear some other interactions. I'm so happy for you and your beautiful family.
