    Thank you guys SO much for coming on this crazy journey with us! I'd LOVE for more mamas who are planning unmedicated hospital births to come across this video and feel empowered/know what to expect so it would mean the world to me if you would comment, like, and share to let the algorithm know you liked it! Thank you all so much for all your love and support for me, Matt, and little Rowan!

      @JennyLouRN 4 роки тому +39

      Warm compresses are the best! I’m an L&D RN, former doula, & had natural birth with both my babies 20+ years ago. Birth hurts but it’s not the kind of pain that is harming you (under normal circumstances). Just know with every contraction, your cervix is opening to bring that baby down. Crowning is the worst pain, but go slow, no rush, and it will be better. Best wishes to all upcoming mamas!!!

      @@everestcanyon5647 I have yet to give birth and am currently pregnant with my first child and I already know that the pain is going to be incredibly worth it. Almost all women I've asked, have said that even after hours or days of being in labor, the moment you hold that baby, all the pain vanishes away as if it meant nothing. Imagine that. Going through so much pain to experience the joy of bringing life into the world, which only as women, were we made capable of. You experience such pain for the sake of the life of another. What a selfless thing to do. I think it's a beautiful journey filled with both incredible joy and incredible pain, much like how life in general could be. I personally think it's sad to see a lot of young women forsaking motherhood for fear of pain or for the vain pursuit of chasing after momentary pleasures. I have a few friends that are choosing this path for themselves and fear they will someday regret their decisions.
      Not putting you down at all by the way, just making some statements I think are important to consider with this topic. We've all been given the liberty to make our own decisions, regardless of the outcome. Adoption is a wonderful thing and something I would also say is selfless and loving to do. My husband and I plan to adopt in the future, even with bearing our own biological children.

If a nurse or family member is stressing you out, kick them out of put away your phone 😂 If you start to think you can't do it remember women have done it since the dawn of time!

    I know this was posted 4 years ago, but I somehow got suggestions for these videos and out of 4 that I watched, this one was the best!! Mom did a fantastic job and Dad made ME cry when he started crying!! When I had my son, 21 years ago now, I didn't have anything for pain either and I wouldn't have had it any other way! The pain was definitely worth it and we got to experience true childbirth and all the pain that goes with it, which I think with time we forget so we can continue to have more children. My son is my one and only so I'm so happy that I didn't have an epidural or anything else for pain because I know I wouldn't get to experience that ever again!! Awesome job to both of you and thank you for sharing your experience with us!! And of course, congratulations!! May God bless you both and your new baby boy and many others!! 🎉❤

    I'm on my third pregnancy, and let me just say you blew it out of the PARK, girl! My first pregnancy was 23 hours long! I had 2 epidurals with 0 pain relief. I probably pumped enough drugs in me to tranquilize an elephant haha. I was so shaky I vomited twice. It was grueling. But as soon as my firstborn was delivered all of the pain I had endured melted away. And with my second it was polar opposite, I started active labor at 2am, slept through contractions until 5am, and baby was born 30 minutes later 5 minutes after arriving at the hospital!! I always watch labor and delivery video during my pregnancy to help keep me motivated and help pass the anxiety of giving birth. Watching you and your husband tackle this together, and seriously your husband was STELLAR, was very emotional and I am so glad you have such a supportive significant other. Congratulations on becoming first time parents during a pandemic haha! ❤

    • @meiraloraduncan8953
      @meiraloraduncan8953 4 роки тому +2

      It will happen so don’t get stressed out. I tried for 10 years and had 6 miscarriages before I finally got pregnant with my daughter. I spent 3 years taking medication after being diagnosed with PCOS at 28. The medication was great because I got my hormones balanced enough to ovulate and release viable eggs. I had 3 of the miscarriages while taking the medication. I took clomid , but there are many different medications being used now a days, fewer options 20 years ago. Our car was totaled in a car accident and I had to stop taking the medication so that we could afford a new to us car . We only had the one car and since I was taking classes for my masters degree in Education/Media/Computer technology and had a 3 hour drive round trip three nights a week I needed a dependable car . I had to stop taking the medications because of that situation. 4 months later after taking a short break away from the stress of work and classes during the Christmas break I ended up getting pregnant at the end of January. I knew right away that I was pregnant because I could just feel the difference in my body and I had been having regular cycles for the last 2.5 years and I knew when I ovulated and my period never came. Yet every pregnancy test I took turned out negative and this was both the urine and blood tests. I didn’t test positive for over 3 months and I had been seen by 4 different doctors including my gynecologist. A week after seeing my gynecologist who prescribed medication to start my period and friend stopped by my work and the first words out of his mouth were “congratulations you’re pregnant “ I just wanted to ground to swallow me up. I was freaking out inside and asked him why he thought I was pregnant. He said that I was glowing big time and to go home and take a test. I was shocked. I took my last test the next morning and it instantly turned positive. We brought home our miracle Rainbow baby girl after trying for 10 years. Check out the PhilandAlex channel because they just had their miracle baby girl after 8 years of infertility and adopting 2 of the sweetest little girls.

You showed so much Intense up close stuff.
