RAW UNMEDICATED BIRTH VLOG - PART 3 Attempting VBAC Water Birth 9:27pm We got to hospital while in transition 9:29pm Made it to the water birth suite They needed me to lay down to put on CTG but I felt I physically couldn't I had to keep moving 9:37pm 7 minutes after getting here, my waters broke. Our midwife managed to set up the CTG while standing as I couldn't lay down. 9:42pm I felt him drop very low, I went into a sumo squat and swayed instinctually. Helping him get into a good birth position 10:11pm I got into the birthing pool and immediately my nervous system calmed down. I was able to recoup energy for the big finale 10:47pm It was time to start pushing When I thought I couldn't do it anymore, I envisioned my baby's face and spoke to him, asking God to help me bring him earthside Harry kept reminding me I could do this, I was almost there. He was so calm and it gave me confidence Me: "Why am I screaming?" Him: "Because you're loud" 11:10pm My OB arrived which meant we were close 11:18pm His head was about to come out, it took 8 pushes 11:19pm His head was fully out, one more big push for the shoulders One final push, everything I had... 11:28pm He was born we did it

TW: raw birth pain - while this might seem scary, it was an incredibly positive birth and exactly what I planned and prayed for My birth plan: look like a animal, not a medical patient and I think I got what I wished for 🐮🐅🐻🐄 Don’t get me wrong this was HARD. The hardest thing I’ve ever done…but being taken to that edge spiritually was an experience I can’t describe. It’s like being one with our creator. I have the chills just thinking about it… My baby boy is here and healthy, hallelujah ✨ #birthvlog #unmedicatedbirth #VBAC #waterbirth #birthstory
