Song: “Son” by Sleeping Atlas
Monday, July 12 - Doula Notes
6:30am: You texted that you had pooped three times. You were having contractions (ctx) that started in your lower pelvis and wrapped around your lower back. They had woken you up at 4:30am. Your back was achy in between. You began timing at 5am. They were all about a minute long but varying in frequency between 5-10min. I encouraged to stop timing them and just see where they take you.
7:30am: You said you couldn’t ignore them and that they were getting stronger. Nick was headed to Target to get some thing (including your birth outfit). You were mostly on your knees near the bed.
9:30: Called to see if I should come. I headed over.
10am: You said, “If we’re gonna do this, let’s do it fast.” You were standing and moving your hips really well during ctx. Nick made some granola for you. You ate some of it over the next hour.
10:42: I heated up a rice sock for your back. You said, “I feel him moving down.” You were a little shaky.
11am: Nick massaging your back and hips. I gave him some arnica oil to use and showed him how to try the double-hip squeeze during ctx. You were chewing your gum hard during ctx. You said, “I feel very relaxed right now.”
11:15am: You asked, “When did I become a ballet dancer?” I had been wondering if you had been because of the way you were moving during ctx. I put you in the tub. You put on “Island Music” and it kicked off with Harry Belafonte “Jump in The Line.” You said, “After a ctx, there’s a release that makes me feel woozy, drunk.”
Nick was making monkey bread.
You said, “Gosh, I hope this happens today.”
11:50am: You felt like you needed to poop.
12:40pm: You had some food in the tub. You asked Nick to pray. You felt nauseous.
1pm: I had you move to a side-lying position which you hated. I asked you to stay there for 5 ctx. You ended up staying there longer.
1:05pm: You said to Nick, “Baby, be glad you don’t have to do this.” You started crying. Your inner thighs were shaking.
1:30pm: Still shaking. And hot. I gave Nick a fan and I had you smell some Valor. You’re still side-lying. Said, “I wish I could take a nap.” You needed to hold Nick’s hand during ctx and you needed that fan.
1:50pm: “I hope I don’t poop the couch.” Nick replied, “We’ll just buy a new couch.” You said, “Kiss me.” And then “Kiss me again. It helps.”
2:05: Still side-lying. You felt a trickle of water and wondered if your water broke. You went to the bathroom. I checked the pad you were lying on and it was just a tiny bit of fluid. So who knows?
2:15: Janelle arrived.
2:20: Another wardrobe change. We kept cycling towels and clothes in the dryer. Back in the tub
2:37: After a ctx, you said, “I just remembered that after I met you, I had a dream I was in labor at my house.”
3pm: Nick, “Those endorphins have you looking like you just stumbled out of a bar.”
3:20: Out of the tub so Janelle could check you. 8cm/100% effaced/-1 station with a bulging bag of water. You headed to the toilet.
3:43: Side-lying again. Nick realized there was no champagne so I ran to the closest store to get some. They had a great bottle chilling. The woman who worked there was excited about the occasion but wanted to tell me her own three birth stories…no time for that. You were back in the tub when I returned.
4:18: First pushing sounds
4:30: Smooching again
4:34: Water broke, clear fluid.
5:20: Janelle said you could reach down and feel him
5:49: Head out
5:53: Birth
Song: “Give Me All” by Sammy Johnson
C: “How do people not believe in God?”
“Look at his bum!” “Look at him. He’s so hairy!” “That was so worth it, Little Buddy!”
6:02: We got you to the bed
6:08: Placenta
6:20: Face-timing with family
6:28: Cord cut
Nick started making chicken alfredo for dinner.
No tear.
8pm: Skin to skin with Nick
7lbs, 14oz, 20.5 inch length, 14 inch head, 14.5 inch chest.
8:20: Vitamin K
8:30: Champagne and dinner in bed

This was probably the most real birth vlog I've ever watched. Thank you Chelsea, for keeping in the difficult moment. For keeping in the times you cried and yelled and shivered. Oftentimes birth vlogs look so romanticized, they'll tell us it was painful and difficult, but they don't show it. So thank you for showing the real, raw process of bringing a little angel baby to earth side. God bless your little family 💜

Man - I love these midwives. They were so patient and quiet and just unobtrusively supportive. No alarmism and just letting you guide the process. I love her phrasing when asking you to get out of the tub and explaining how it will go to deliver the placenta. Love this.

[@gmapes4g]

When you grabbed your son for the first time and started crying, I could sense your relief and started crying with you! I was so relieved when labor was over and crying was a great way to release all of that!

Women do not need to go through a difficult and painful labour if they commit it to the LORD. God helped women to conceive the child and God will help to deliver the child. Women are created with supernatural bodies that literally stretch to accommodate the growing child as well as to give birth. Indeed amazing creation of God. Just believe that you were made for this and God will do the rest.

[@mbwilson8592]

@@auraliaablitt9746 I know you mean well, but the "at least" is minimizing. It feels so different when that part is just left out. It can be really hard to know what to say in these circumstances. I've gotten better ever since my dad died suddenly. It has taught me a lot.

Her face was priceless when she got to hold her baby for the first time. Congratulations

[@kenziechristine3889]

oh my goodness! I couldn't stop crying while watching this. One of the most beautiful birth videos I've seen. Congrats you two! I've loved following your journey so far.

[@aaliyah9507]

I watched her like 9 years ago and now she is married and has a kid. WOW I missed a lot. Congrats on the new addition🥳

The way your husband jumped up and said “oh!!!” when you pulled him out 😭😭😭. So sweet!

[@bristisen3840]

So beautiful... Made me feel like crying. Chelsea, I gotta say this, you didn't lose your poise and charm even during labor! And, Nick, you are such a supportive hubby. Hudson's really got amazing parents! You guys are such a strong couple. All the best wishes to you too and Hudson too. Hi there, little one! 🎀🎈

[@Madilicious]

This was the sweetest birth vlog ever, Chelsea and Nick 😭❤️

[@luciw8348]

Also, “I hope I didn’t take up too much of your time.”😁

[@winkydstanaccount5003]

Right? And "I really care about supper."

[@marianmorris6507]

This was so encouraging! My husband and I aren’t ready to have a baby just yet. But watching yours be so supportive makes me excited to have that experience with mine 🥺

[@melissavickery2219]

I found out we were expecting baby 2 on July 5th 2021. He is my rainbow baby and it took me 24 cycles to conceive him. He is due March 17th 2022..i absolutely can't wait. You did amazing and i absolutely love these stories

[@emaleebennett-hofmann8080]

I am only 17 years old I love babies plus I said when I am older I said that I want to have a water birth and I still want a water birth still this day God bless you both on your new arrival you did great way to go momma 👣👍👍🍼

[@babytriin]

This is the most touching and beautiful thing in the world. Thank for sharing Chelsea and Nick. You guys are wonderful.💙

[@Trumpet222]

The tears on my face watching this video. This was truly an incredible experience and I felt all the emotions you were going through waiting for little Hudson. Congratulations to your growing family.

[@kendallscookies3683]

i dont know how to stop crying right now lol. its crazy watching people grow up, best of luck chelsea and nick:)

[@kerdrury907]

The second “son” by Sleeping at last started playing I got all teary eyed. 🥹😍 Thanks for sharing this beautiful snippet of your family’s life!

[@SofiaBerruxSubs]

I want to give you and other women who do home births props. I mean in today's society we immediately think hospital but home births were the NATURAL way women have giving births for centuries and to think we're taught that as a bad thing is sad

[@toriafennell]

Don’t mind me balling my eyes 😭 He is so beautiful!! Congratulations Chelsea and Nick 💗💗

[@LPSmusketeerProductions]

brooooooooooo took me a minute to realize who this is. can't believe she's had a baby. congrats!

Am I the only one that broke down into a cry when he came out and she sat back and cried 😭✨💗 Congratulations Chelsea!

[@adventureswithsuzanna5667]

Women are heroes, it's not easy! A like on the video to salute the awesomeness of women. A salute to the bravery

[@milo_thatch_incarnate]

Thank you so much for showing ALL the real parts of birthing, even at home. How long it felt like it took, the pain, everything. I’m 24, I don’t have kids yet, but my husband and I want to start our family in year or two, and I’m getting a head start on learning about natural birthing, and what it would be like! You choosing to share your whole experience gave me a lot of knowledge and confidence. Thank you again!

[@jessicaeldon7314]

"I tried to speed it up because I really care about dinner" sis me too 😂 that was me with my son. I wanted to get my dinner order in before the kitchen closed at the hospital

[@ChelseaandNick]

We make it happen 🤪

[@amywalsh4006]

I loved hearing Nick be so supportive of you saying he's proud of you

[@bethebiggerperson2440]

My favorite quote is: "Look at him, Nick, He's smiling!" Edit: Another favorite quote was when the midwife said, "So hard for us to not notice a miracle in your living room." (Do not know if the quote is correct because there were no captions for what she said.)

[@bellabunny5425]

I have never watched your channel before and I found you because of this video. This made me cry so hard and look forward to the day I have a baby! You honestly did make it look easy, I'm so proud of you! Also, your baby is absolutely adorable! ❤❤❤

[@tanvi5268]

Nick and Chelsea, you both are such beautiful beings, thank you for sharing such an intimate moment with us. So happy to witness God blessing you with a child. Chelsea, watching you over the years... there's something very surreal and just very heartwarming seeing how graciously you've now transitioned into being a mother. Your videos feel like a check in with life everytime I watch you guys and you are doing wonderfully with Nick right by your side. Nick, your strength in just standing by Chelsea through it all is just beyond words. Sending lots of love to you both, Baby Hudson, your doggie, your families and all those who helped with the birthing. Hugs, Tanvi

[@heidiroth8839]

When I say I ugly cried for y’all… I UGLY CRIED!! I am so proud of you momma!! This just proves the point that our bodies are made to do great things and can be done in natural ways!! This makes me excited to go through natural home birth when I get married someday!! Congratulations to y’all!! May God bless you and your beautiful new baby!! ❤️❤️

[@BakeChic98]

It seems like Nick did such a good job supporting you🥺 everything about this is absolutely perfect. So excited for you guys.
