41 WEEK UNMEDICATED POSITIVE HOME BIRTH STORY | Super quick labor! ✨🙌🏾

YAY! He’s here! This is the home birth story of our son! It was a peaceful and completely empowering home birth after a hospital birth. Thank you so much for the prayers, I felt so supported and cared for. 🎉

A couple things I forgot to mention in this video that are kinda cool; my water didn’t break until the last push! So as I held him for the first time, I pulled the bag of waters off of him and that was such a cool thing to see as well as a really amazing answer to prayer that God would leave my water bag intact until the very last push!

Other prayers that got answered: my labor was just over three hours and technically he was born in the morning! 🤪 It was so peaceful to labor in a dark and quiet house. I really didn't feel any pain until the last two hours of contractions.

He was 8.4 lbs and 21 inches long (EXACTLY the same size as Mallory when she was born!)

I never had a bloody show or any blood loss at all until the placenta came out, and even that was so little blood I could hardly tell there was any blood in the water. So if you’re worried there will be a crime scene at your house in a home birth, that was not my experience at all! The midwives take care of everything and have it all cleaned up so quick.

We allowed his cord to pulse for about 25 minutes and it was white with no blood in it and then my husband cut the cord. I had my placenta encapsulated by a local midwife, but I haven’t really noticed anything good or bad by taking the pills. All the evidence on placenta encapsulation is anecdotal, and I’m just following my intuition on it. So far I don’t notice anything positive or negative. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I would 100% have another home birth, it was the most incredible experience of my life. I’m so grateful for my midwives for coaching me and helping me unlearn so many of my negative beliefs about birth. 🙌🏾

Thank you for watching! I hope this story inspires you! Pregnancy, birth, motherhood; we can do this!
