TW: Intense & unedited labour pain As scary as this looks, I felt very much in control 99% of the time and it was actually going exactly to plan. Releasing the fear and trusting my body. The car ride was intense but great! I locked in and handled the contractions with such mental focus. But as soon as we got to the hospital things picked up exponentially fast… back to back high intensity contractions. I went into transition and the vibe shifted. But we made it to the hospital so everything was going to be ok I just needed to get into that birthing tub… So grateful for my amazing husband @Harry Bunton - Twin Dad & my sons were like oxytocin on tap. I know it’s a lot but I look at this and am in awe of the beauty of it all. I hope you can see that too when you watch 🫶🏽 #birthvlog #labourandbirthvlog #birthstory #unmedicatedbirth #VBAC
