    Oh laawwwwd, the back labor. My boy is 6 years old. I remember that back pain like yesterday. I remember in that “teeny” horrible pain time looking at the contraction monitor...I saw a contraction coming & just started crying. Haha! I wanted to move so badly, but...hospital birth. 😭 Glad you all are okay! ❤️ Thanks for sharing!

      Ughhh. It was simply the worst. Fingers crossed it won't happen with the next baby! I don't know if I can handle that again. ⚡️

    I've been hoping you were going to come back and make more videos! I keep randomly checking to see if you had any baby updates! I was excited to see this video this morning! I have to tell you your story reminded me of mine! My first baby was also sunny side up and man I was in pain! I have super quick labors thank god.. but her heart rate kept going down the whole time I was in labor they kept threatening me with talks of a emergency c section and I was going to do everything I could not to do that I wanted a natural childbirth.. so they ended up putting a heart rate monitor into her head?! Crazy right? Then as soon as they fucking did that of course I had her. But anyways the cord was also wrapped around her body and neck which is why her heart rate was bad. The whole point of me telling you this story is I had a second child and the birth was completely different! I got to have a water birth with him, it was amazing. I actually had him so quickly the midwife wasn't even in the room at the time lol. So point being don't let your first birth story define how child birth will be for you! Congratulations on your baby boy! Hope to see more videos from you soon! ❤

      Thank you SO much for sharing your story. I'm truly hoping that the second birth will be effortless and uncomplicated. After that, it feels like anything will seem easy lol. ❤️

    Hi, tnx for sharing your birth story; I know how much pain you must have had; first time I gave birth I had the same pain in the back. I had to pause your vid a few times because it hit me in the face (after all those years..) because it was a very sad story, wont bother you with it. Just want to say: congratulations with your baby!!!! :-) And maybe its nice to tell you that when my second baby was born 15 years later i didn't go to a hospital or so: I was terrified and want to give birth in my own bedroom. (I'm from Holland, it is or was ok to give birth at home with a midwife and a nurse. I refused to let a nurse in my house so it was me, my man and the midwife. I was SO happy: no pain in the back at all (water broke the first time, second time it didn't; first one was as they call it here a 'stargazer' maybe that is so painfull) When I called the midwife, I couldn't believe this were contractions because it wasn't not half that painfull as the first time, no pain in the back and making fun, laughing with my (now ex) friend!! It started at 2300, at 2.40 in the night it was really painfull but to make a long story short: he was born at 03.28 I couldnt believe I only had 20 minutes REAL pain.
    It was great to give birth on a stool the midwife brought with her, like you are sitting on a toilet :-) take a shower in my own house and then to bed. Just want to share this with you and all the moms reading this and got scared to have a second child because of the pain.. In Holland you almost dont get painkillers, not even when they have to cut you open. Therefore I know people who never had a child again, too scared of giving birth again.. I was thinking the same but when I thought wtf I just dont go see a midwife or so, do it on my own I had my second baby. Luckily I found a midwife just in time who works with mother nature, she understood and now I have 2 grown ups who still call me mamma! :-)
    I wish you all the luck in the world, enjoy every day with your baby!! And tnx again for sharing your story in an honest way; my first baby took 4 days ánd 4 nights before he was born, the pain was too much it still makes me feel sorry you had to go through that.. well, you're looking great in the vid i hope you feel great too!! With love Sunny xoxo

      Thank you so much for sharing your story!! It really means a lot to me. Connecting with other moms who have gone through similar experiences is so important. You are AMAZING. ❤️

      ​@@KristenPound I think connecting with other moms is so important; especially when you tell the true. I wish somenone told me what to expect.. What I forgot to tell is an amazing thing: the second time at home I went into a 'natural high' my body gave me painkillers while pushing the baby out. It was not that hard the second time; no pain for a few minutes when I had to push my baby out saying things like: i'm tired, when the baby is born first thing i'll do is get some sleep. I see it in the morning, bye! LOL.
      When he was born (soft warm light, midwife whispering, silence..) i was really high; said to the midwife when she put him in my hands and helped me take him in my arms: where did you get that baby, how did you do thát? I will never forget the happiness; didn't see that happiness coming too!
      Thanks for saying such nice things, and I love to follow your yourney as a mom! With love, Sunny xoxo
