A NATURAL BIRTH STORY | NO EPIDURAL | Elanna Pecherle 2018

[@Wrennyyy]

Paddy's mom is an angel from Heaven! I cried watching this. I am so happy for you guys. You are SO strong girl ❤! You two are fabulous parents. Definitely praying for your new journey. ❤

[@vanessaegan1365]

I can't stop crying... The video clips are great because I think they really show people what to expect when you skip the epidural more than just describing it (you can see the pain and work and effort in your face). I had both of my children unmedicated and I recognized all of those faces you were making. Such an amazing story, congratulations.

[@sannybangun]

I work in delivery room and have assisted countless spontaneous labors, but listening to you telling your story made me cry for joy. Congrats!

[@abigailward6589]

This has been the best video I’ve watched on KZbin yet. So incredibly touching. You are SUCH a strong woman. God gave you the strength to push through. Literally. The worship music. Paddy. Your mother in law. The midwives. All of it. Just beautiful. I sobbed watching you give birth to this little miracle. She is beautiful and I am so happy for your little family!

[@ShannonStumbaugh]

that final push and holding baby olive for the first time made me cry, so incredible and happy for your beautiful family!!!

[@woonderwaaall]

Wow Elanna, I think I cried through this entire video. You can be so proud of yourself for how strong you were/are and seeing Jane and Paddy being so caring and supportive through it all was incredibly touching. Olive is such a precious little girl and I'm so happy for your little family

[@Nicoleemariaaa]

I’m due in 3 weeks and went from being so calm to freaking out about giving birth. I’ve been taking hypnobirthing classes to try and help my have a natural labor and delivery. I’m so happy I came across your video! I cried when you had your baby. It makes me so excited to meet my little guy!

[@veroniquem5469]

I have NEVER cried watching a KZbinrs personal story until now. We are so lucky and privileged to have witnessed part of your family's history. What a beautiful experience !

[@jeannettemanzano8085]

I cried and laughed with joy while you were pushing and when she arrived. Sweet angel. Congrats and many blessings to your family. Thanks for sharing.

[@Sftball4evr1206]

As soon as she came out I started sobbing, so proud of you. Motherhood is no joke. You & Paddy will be amazing parents!

[@nickischroeder6048]

[@jennypham3699]

Happy Birthday Olive and congratulations to Elena and Paddy for your successful delivery! I clicked on this video expecting a quick rundown. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised by your detailed and deeply moving birth story. I think everyone watching CRIED when you delivered and held Olive for the first time. God Bless your new life and your new family unit!!

[@marisaskordili969]

I started crying from the moment we could see Paddys hand just squeezing your arm, I could feel his muted stress. At least you had him and his great mum to help you get through. So happy for you 2. Such a great video to have to remember this amazing time.

[@kylatate190]

The moment she was put on your chest was so touching. Thank you for sharing your story! You have a beautiful little family

I was a big ole crybaby watching your story! Having Paddy and his mom by your side was a blessing. Olive is absolutely stunning! I am so proud of you and I know you guys will be amazing parents! Thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us!

[@Donchiks07]

This video just made me cry! I have watched many delivery videos but none of them have made me so emotional. May be because I’m 32 weeks and pregnancy hormones are all over the place... but what an amazing delivery story. You was so brave and calm through it all. Lots of love to your little family ❤️

[@melissaclark4906]

I was crying and urging you on. I'm a nurse and never ever get over the miracle of birth and the total joy it brings to we women lucky enough to have that experience. You were an amazing little mum to be and so focused and strong. Such a sweet husband there and how lovely to see that bond you have with your m-i-l. God bless your family.x.

My time with my baby girl has gone so quickly but was has come of those 21 years is a relationship like no other. She has become my best friend & I know that you & Olive will have the same thing.

Oh my goodness. When the baby came out and you cried, I cried too. What a special moment. You must be over the moon. Congratulations, Elanna, Paddy, Sandy and the whole Pecherle and McGowan family on your new addition. 27:57 Baby Olive's hand on her chin! She already knows how to pose for the camera like Mommy. What a pretty baby.

[@katherinete]

I forgot to mention... How sweet was Jane!? When she was telling you, "Good girl, Elanna. Good girl." I cried even more... Your birth story is beautiful.

Omg I can’t believe I cried with this - I’m not even a mom! It’s like when she finally came out I couldn’t help it 😭 she is one of the most beautiful babies I’ve ever seen, you did a terrific job!

[@CLH3691]

I cried several times throughout this- thank you so much for sharing. You did absolutely amazing! You're so gracious to give honour and praise to everyone else, but mama - this couldn't have been without you! And that you were without your own mother and female support team from back home- man, I applaud you! What an honour for your mom- in-law, how precious and bonding. And what a way to bring your little girl into the world- with songs of praise. I love your family! Congrats! 🐣🙏🏼💞💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@lockedlikedigits]

Omg this made me bawl. This is so touching and I absolutely loved how paddy and Jane were with you, what a great support system. And you did all that without pain relief?!?! So well done!!!!

Elanna, thank you so much for being so honest with us and sharing such a beautiful, raw, and touching story! I was crying like crazy when I was watching this video. Blessings to you and your family. God bless!

[@Tina-gp4rg]

Your mother in law is an Angel in heaven. You are so blessed, you make me cry..I wish you all the best you deserve it. Olive is exactly like Paddy!!

[@LucyLovesLipstickk]

Omg I’m watching this now twice and crying and remember watching when I wasn’t pregnant and now I am. So I had to rewatch Lol! Wow it’s inspiring and definitely makes me feel slightly more prepared for my journey! Thank you.

[@christiebartram7677]

[@KR-km3js]

Thank you Elanna for this honest video. I think every woman deserves a crown after this. I don't know how you all do/did this. Thank God there wasn't any complication and she's fine.. You did a great job, you should be SO proud. I literally started crying when she came out, it was so touching. She's truly a beautiful and lucky little girl to have such amazing parents. Best wishes! XOXO

[@mommabear893]

The moment Olive was passed to you and you burst into tears I was in floods... but actually your reaction looking back on that moment was the most beautiful thing ❤️ I’ve been a subscriber since before you were with Paddy and from the moment your puns started on insta I knew this is where you would end up, and he looks so proud of you the whole way through. Welcome to the mum club, I can’t wait to see all of your baby content! Sending love and prayers to the McGowans *and how beautiful do you manage to look even when expelling a human from your body* xxx

[@haleystoermer2255]

My husband and I had been trying to conceive since October, and I have followed your story so closely. I am now 11 weeks pregnant! I laughed and cried through this whole video, and I'm so thankful that you shared every step of your journey. I will be re-watching your entire pregnancy series now that I'm going through it too. Congratulations to you and Paddy, Olive is perfect!

[@Khaliesie]

What a beautiful video Elanna. The part of the final push and you holding Olive for the first time brought me to tears. Women are so powerful, you did such a great job. Lots of love😘

[@beegonzalez2736]

I didn’t think I was going to cry but when you gave that final push 🥺🥲 I was touched

[@katjaboots1167]

Such a nice video. Congrats again on Olive. I cried several times during this video. It took me back 9 years when my babygirl was born.

[@viktorialutz2968]

Wow this was so touching. I had goose bumps throughout the whole video and cried at the end. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@plantyalicia]

I have watched so many labor videos and this was the first one to make me cry. It was so raw and beautiful 💖

[@2dumbblondes101]

jane is such a saint! you're so blessed to be surrounded by so much support! i was crying along with you! congratulations!

[@simply_shereen]

Nothing can compare to the moment the baby comes out...it's truly a miracle. And girl it's ok not to want to feel more pain you just had a baby!!! You did great, you were so calm during you're contractions. I was a hot mess screaming and from all the pain. Congratulations again ❤️

[@jenlee7608]

Beautiful video, I welcomed the tears. Reminded me of the feeling I had with both of my kids. Best moment ever. Congrats on your beautiful girl!

[@philippagracecowley]

This made my heart burst. What a beautiful video, you really are a super woman! You have angels in Paddy and Jane and Olive is just the most precious, beautiful gift! 💖💖

[@fionaconway619]

Congratulations Elanna & Paddy, your baby girl is so precious & your video made me cry too! I had my 4th baby six months ago and it all came flooding back after watching that sweet video! I'm actually a pharmacist that used to work with your father-in-law and happened to be working in his branch one day when Niall was there. I don't recall how we got to talking about yourself but he said you were a KZbinr and I was fascinated to hear this because I didn't know what that was until Niall explained it to me. So I checked out your videos and honestly you saved me during my months of rotten morning sickness, you helped perk me up and encouraged me to make a little bit of effort in the make-up dept! I was chuffed to see you were expecting a wee baby too! I'll keep checking in with you when I can and I hope you're enjoying your first weeks of motherhood..... it's a crazy yet wonderful experience x

[@ligsz1491]

Such a powerful and encouraging delivery story, I´m due in 3 months and this gives me so much faith that I can do it, and it all will be just fine. Thank you so much for sharing and CONGRATULATIONS!! Your daughter is so beautiful and got herself the best momma!

[@adrieneceleste]

Thank you so much Elanna for sharing!! I'm 10 weeks pregnant sick as a dog and this lifted my spirits so much ❤️

[@Amy-hb5zu]

You are amazing! Thank you so much for sharing. I’m a student midwife and that honestly brought tears to my eyes, you did so incredibly well - you should be so proud of yourself!! Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl xx

[@minsk005]

Congratulations! I teared up watching this. It was so touching to see your strength and the support of your family throughout the labor and delivery of baby Olive. Well done ♡ she is a beautiful little girl! You are so inspiring!

[@karolinehackenschmidt2227]

This made me cry tears of joy and I am beyond happy for you and Paddy and your little baby girl Olive.

So happy for you Elanna, been following you for quite some time now and I love seeing your new adventures in life and being with you through your videos/social media.

Such a beautiful video! I’m so proud of you as a woman of what you were able to do. I found myself crying with you! ❤️

[@mandypoole6828]

Such a beautiful video. one to treasure. I had tears too, but they were happy tears. Olive looks just like her daddy, with some of her beautiful mummy too. Wishing all three of you every happiness in the world. This was soooo beautiful. Lots of love from the UK. 💖💕💝

[@laurenc9214]

This was just the absolute sweetest story telling I’ve seen. You are going to be the best mother ever! Xx

[@danaeb2006]

That was so amazing! I blubbered when you started crying and saw her! I've had two kids and this was magical seeing! Congrats!

[@haya9793]

You were amazing Elanna seeing how you handled all of that amazingly was so powerful and oh my god when she came out idk why I broke down. Ugh giving birth and going through the pain of it and handling it like a badass is just ugh so powerful god women are incredible INCREDIBLE!

[@hollydianna]

You had me in tears, what a beautiful video, you are so lucky to have been able to experience this and to get videos of it. Amazing. I wish I could have had this same experience with my daughter for her birth, but sadly we needed an emergency c section, Daddy didn’t make it in time for the birth (he was working in Alberta when my water broke, we live in Newfoundland!) and she also required a trip in ambulance 4 hours away to go to the children’s hospital for surgery.

[@sarahmacneil3803]

This makes me regret not filming my labour. My son is 11 weeks and this brought it all back. I hope I will never forget labour and delivery. It was the most insane, amazing, mind-blowing experience. Congratulations!!!

[@sophieparham1]

You are so sweet for sharing this moment with us. I cried! And it gives me confidence for my own delivery, so thank you. You two will be such lovely parents 😘

Congratulations hunny. A lovely video, you were amazing! Ive had 5 babies (so far) all natural waterbirths, 3 at home so I was totally empathizing with your pushing sounds haha.
