OUR POSITIVE BIRTH STORY // The arrival of our baby boy

[@freddingaberry9305]

When lil Rue is crying and Meaghan starts to kiss him . . . and he settles down. Melted my heart. Rupert knows his mommy already. He knows he is loved and safe.

[@cherrybird2010]

Ahhhh, when Megan sang to Roo and he stopped crying, what a moment. You knew he'd been soothed by you two singing for all those months! Congratulations! You are fantastic parents. Thank you for sharing! From Seattle, USA

[@leacatando9793]

From listening to your wedding speech songs, maybe a hundred times- to this time. God bless your growing family! May it be filled with wonderful melody!

[@taylorplaskowitz5763]

Megan and Jamie you are going to be the most wonderful parents ever and Rupert is so lucky to have you both as his parents. Rupert is so adorable.

[@june121808]

My tears just fell down when Megan kissed and sang so that Rupert would stop crying. Congratulations, Megan and Jamie! You have a very handsome son.❤️❤️❤️ Enjoy the sleepless nights, they grow fast. 😘😊😂

[@debroxx1]

Mine is 16 now and approaching 6ft. Just seems like I was doing that the other day. Hang in there, Mum and Dad; it truly flies by! He's gorgeous. Congratulations!!!

I think mum giving birth is one of the most precious gift in life. So much love to the 3 of you. ❤ 😍 💖

You’ve made me cry and pray for a baby :( congratulations, wish your family long, healthy, happy life

[@kndgarcia1228]

Whoo. That one was hard to watch. You've always been natural but this one is as real as it could get. Your Instagram posts show nothing of the pain you've been through. Megan, it was really difficult for you but you've pulled through like the disney princess that you are. And Jamie, all those times Megan was having a hard time, you showed us what a real prince charming is. I'm looking at you both in a different light now. Salute to you and every parent who went through this. So much love for you 😘

Precious. You brought back the memories of my babies births. When you hold that Precious little baby, all the hours you endure the pain are so worth it. Your Precious one is a blessing and is blessed having you two for his parents. Thank you for sharing the most precious gift in life with me. God bless you.

[@wendyswan3973]

I bawled when you started singing to him and he calmed down it brought me back to my son's birth and singing to him the same song!

[@haroldgemalago2668]

From all of us nurses, midwives and doctor here in kingston hospital! Congratulations! The journey was not easy but looking at baby Rupert it was all worth it. God bless you guys…

Oh. My. Word. What is there to say to this one?? This was so beautiful and so moving and so touching. Thank you for sharing your pain and your joy and your reality of being parents for the first time. You've done it again with this one, but in a whole new and different way!!

Good luck! We are sending lots of well wishes. We hope everything goes perfectly. Xx

[@GrannyS217]

I cannot describe what I am feeling right now. I am torn between the miracle of birth and utter joy for the newest addition to your family! You both are so real and I feel so blessed that you shared this adventure with me. Megan was the bravest person I have ever seen ! It was hard to watch the pain she was going through. I have so many tears this morning- your film was extremely moving . I have seen many many great films in my 68 years and this was by far so touching you should get an award for this. Baby Rue is the luckiest boy on earth! I will be honored to watch him grow up! My best to you all! Hugs from Texas! 💕 PS my granddaughter Michaela and her hubby had my first GREAT grandchild on the 30th ! Hudson Ryals Smith 8 pounds 2 oz ! It will be so amazing to watch these two grow up!

The most beautiful birth video and Roo is utterly gorgeous. We are due a baby boy in January and I went through all the emotions watching this. The strength you have Megan is so inspiring and Jamie was the most supportive husband. Can’t wait to watch him grow. Congratulations xx

[@gilscot100]

Beautiful Rupert. Yes it is hard. But you can do it. You will be great parents. Thank you for letting us in on this special day.

[@KiraSJones]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful and honest video. It’s an empowering reminder that bodies are made to give birth and we’re capable of handling the pain of it all - though not a fun ride by any stretch of the imagination. The last bit of the video left my partner and I a little worried about Roo. We hope things are sorting themselves out and that he’s doing okay, as are you. Sending all our best.

[@dawnkinghorn2251]

I just cried the whole way through that. He is beautiful and you will find your way through being new parents. The start is never easy but the joy you have to come will be worth every minute. Love to you all xxxx

[@sunshinecity8351]

Oh guys. I’ve been sobbing the whole episode: tears of joy, pride, and empathy. Thank you for sharing your (love, and birth) story with us. Absolutely beautiful. Congratulations once again. And don’t forget, take each day as it comes. Sending much love x

You both have me in tears. Watching from the wedding song now seeing you both share this precious gift. The love that shows through you both. You two are just made for each other. Congratulations on baby Rue. ❤

[@Minimearings]

B.E.A.UTIFUL. Brings back so many happy memories of having our children. Congratulations! So inspiring watching your wife (my wife) go through so much.

[@LoretteHughes]

I swear I’m incapable of watching a birth without crying! It’s the most magical moment. It took me right back to giving birth to my 3 daughters. Cherish every moment as I’m sure you’re already aware, they grow so fast. Congratulations again!❤️x

[@AlisonWonderland999]

I don't even have much interest in babies, but that was fascinating and SO moving! I love how you share your vulnerable moments as well as the triumphs. Bless you xxx If that baby had any idea what parents he was being born to, he'd have entered the world laughing and clapping his hands with glee!!!!!! xxx

Wow, thank you so much. Thats such a lovely message xx

Love you. Blessings from Houston🙏

What a trooper Megan! You did wonderful. If I handle myself like you the day I give birth, I'll be very proud! You're gonna be great parents. Sending much love xx

[@moodymom92]

I am bawling happy tears here. I was so happy to see how you shared your birth story and it's not all "roses" as some televisions portray labor to be . You shared how long and hard it can be, painful and joyful. Rupert has been blessed by the most loving, caring parents who will shower him with as much love any child can ever receive. I can't believe how tiny his head is compared to Jamie's hand. He has lots of hair ( RUpert, not Jamie lol) Megan, you singing to him made my heart melt. He has heard you all along from the inside, and now you can hold him in your loving arms and sing each and every song you know. He is in the best of hands. Parenthood isn't all sugar and roses, but you will survive. Chin up, you got this!! You new journey has just began, and I can't wait to see where it leads you. Off for more adventures, welcome aboard Roo...you are going to have a blast!!! Enjoy each and every minute, it goes by in a blink of an eye. Thank you again for sharing your story with the world. You both are amazing!!! HUGS

[@JamieandMegan]

Thank you so much. What a lovely message! We are so excited for all the adventures we will have together. We hope to share them with you. The support from everyone is amazing, and Roo is very lucky to have so many people around the world wishing him well. X

[@womanofacertainage5892]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I live in the US, where birth is too often marked by intervention after intervention and where it's medicalized so much. The US has the highest C-section rate on the planet, and few give birth without an epidural to numb them from the waist down, (thus making it harder to feel to push, hence that intervention sometimes leads to c-sections that weren't really needed.). I wrote a whole thesis on "Birth Interventions in the US" in college, read a lot of studies and looked at how it's done much better in Canada, the UK, Sweden and other nations. I'd love to know what the thing is that Megan is sucking on from time to time, is that the "gas" and do you mind saying what exactly it is, if you know? I also love that Megan is able to be up against the back of the bed, rather than on her back -- gravity helps when you squat, but docs and nurses here will often put you on your back, something else I never understood. Anyway, THANK YOU for showing the world what a birth can be. :) Best wishes!

[@kndgarcia1228]

I finally had the courage to rewatch this again. Didn't notice the details the first time because it was so difficult and I had to look away most of the time. It's obviously so hard for Jamie to see Megan like that but kudos to you for staying calm and being her rock all throughout the journey. And when Megan finally held baby Roo it felt as though she was never in pain. Is it so weird that I tear up everytime I see Megan hold Roo for the first time? Now I am just so amazed to see someone bring another life into this world. Thank you so much for sharing this. Much love to you three ♥️
