I birthed a whole baby... in water, AT HOME!😱 Pt. 2

[@KhadeenEllisIAm]

Hey folks! Thank you all for tuning in and watching my home birth episodes! I hope it was informative and fun to watch! What was your favorite part or biggest take away?? Let me know below!💛

[@tammybarnes5158]

Watching your husband love you through the process was PRICELESS!

[@ashmonroe3381]

Khadeen Ellis my fav part was watching Jackson check Kaz’s heartbeat. Just seeing how small he and Kairo were just 2 years ago is crazy. Your mom throwing the flowers in the water is still HILARIOUS!!!! You and Devale dancing thru your contractions

[@nicolebryan-quamina8161]

Biggest take away was the delaying the placenta clamping, I had not seen this before and it makes complete sense in ensuring baby gets all the blood and nutrients they need. Thank you Kay! 🇯🇲🇬🇩

[@joannaajoi8539]

My favorite part was EVERYTHING from the Beginning to the End !!!! 😍😍😍😍😍🤗😘😊👑💪🏾🖤🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@lemondedalidadalida9861]

I’m no where near having kids but I’ve always been afraid of it, especially the pain. Which wasn’t helped by the experiences of women in my life, whom had not the best birthing stories. Until I knew there were other options like birthing. This video definitely solidified my decision to have one in the future. So thank you so much, Khadeen. For sharing your story, it was inspiring & touching. ✨

[@positiveearcandy7262]

Hi! I am a surgical tech & a nursing student. Stories like yours keep me striving through nursing school to become a midwife. Especially since we as black women do not have enough representation & support when we are laboring and giving birth. We need more nurses & providers that look like you & me to empower women to take charge of their birthing process. I had midwives for all three of my children (one was at home) and I am glad to have had those beautiful experiences. 🙏🏾🤓

[@kissmequick07]

AMEN!

[@UIV7096]

😍😍😍😍😍

[@sincerelyajg5067]

I don’t have children however I’m glad Black women are learning about all of their child birth options. It’s important to be mindful that everyone may not be able to have a home birth, especially for their first experience. If you are not a candidate for home birth just remember that having a safe delivery of a healthy baby is most important! I have been watching The Ellises from the beginning. Thank you for sharing!

[@koolaid5B]

As I'm sitting here at work. I realized that The Ellis family has been my, Martin, Family Matters, Fresh Prince, My Wife and Kids etc... for the past 2 years. I watch both channels faithfully, I even have my baby saying it's your boi swag savage... lol ♥️

[@julissagu]

Maaan props to who ever took those pics of your birth it captures the experience so amazingly I looove them

[@lisaj3915]

Josh the photographer. I believe these pictures are his work.

[@kryssiewoo51]

How time flies, it 3 years already? But this 2nd part brought me back to my deliveries. Sadly i never got to take home my 3rd as she was stillborn at fullterm but pushing her out was still amazing. I did learn to listen to my body after my first and pushed when it told me to even when the nurses said no, my body was like yes. And I never once tore, jus bruised. For ur first, u really do just want to be told what to do put of fear of not knowing what is to happen for real. Beautiful memory photos Khadeen.

[@kimmieskatt]

How totally beautiful was this baby’s birth? Delaying the clamping was the most touching thing I’ve ever seen. Thank you for sharing your baby’s journey into the world with all of us. ❤️

[@geriyoung7196]

i cried during that video.

[@kayoticcc]

I’ve never wanted to have children because of the many fears that Takiya spoke on.. but this video has me all kinds of emotional & most importantly optimistic. My boyfriend & I are from NY & we really enjoy watching y’all, since Black Love & even using your experiences as a blueprint for us. Thank you for doing what you do ❤️

[@AkoAdanna]

So happy you are sharing your experience with women; I find that many women never get to experience the freedom of shaping their birthing experiences for themselves and I knew I wanted that. My experience: I have one baby (11 mos old) and we went the alternative route; in Trinidad (and Tobago) where we live first time moms cannot do home births, but we didn't want to do hospital birth. We planned to have a water birth at a birthing center, but when we got into the tub, the water was irritating my SOUL (I was having hot and cold flashes) so the water was as hot as it could be (my husband was sweating bullets) and I was like "this water is TOO COLD!" They were like any hotter and it will scald the baby when she comes out so I was like "F*&% this!" and jumped in a hot shower to ease the pain and then i laid down next to the tub on the floor. No matter how many times they asked me if I wanted to get on the bed, I was like " I am having her right here on this floor, in this private suite in this birthing center!" It was such a beautiful experience (especially after a rough pregnancy of bedrest for the first 20 weeks), my hubby, twin sister, midwives and doula were present. My sister documented the whole experience and was in charge of my birth playlist. My husband and doula supported me through the pain the whole time. Sissy came through in the clutch with Patra "Queen of the Pack" when I was having trouble pushing her head out...I focused on that song, summoned all of my strength and pushed her out. I labored for 17 hours...13 hours active.

[@sophia.ozioma]

Kay is a superwoman!!! I found out about your family from your home birthing video Been stuck ever since ❤️

[@stephaniebecton6639]

I swear I love y’all!!! Devalue was with u every step! Just a perfect example of black love goals! And I love your new show!!

[@Kiaraa.Denise]

Stephanie Becton his name is devale 😂

[@anneb6262]

Devalue 😂😂😂😂

[@chicabonita131]

I don't know why but you were pushing and I was tearing up. I don't have any children but thank you for sharing your story. So happy that you have a happy and healthy family.

[@brianna251000]

The way Jax looked at you @5.23 was so beautiful! I love you guys so much! Been here since the beginning. I hope everyone is doing well during this time! Sending Prayers, Love, and Prosperity!

[@jazzminealexander8480]

I’m a labor and delivery nurse and seeing such a beautiful and peaceful delivery warms my heart. The key point you made was how important it is to be educated no matter your decision (home birth or hospital birth).

[@dr.t.nicole]

This vlog definitely has me thinking about going the midwife route when that time comes for me. You seemed so peaceful throughout the entire experience. I loved the fact that your family was apart of your process, and seeing your children be involved was everything. Your midwife was awesome! She truly has a genuine spirit.

[@mizzcashmoney1]

Wow, seeing Kaz lay there with his placenta after birth has completely changed my perspective on the traditional method of cutting right after giving birth. That makes so much sense!!! Khadeen, thank you for sharing ❤️

[@deborahfuller2990]

Who were the 6 people who didn’t like, dam shame! Thank you K for sharing, it was beautiful. God bless you and your beautiful family.

[@madebykaykitchen]

As a Black woman who's not a mommy yet, this means everything. Thanks for this sis!

[@thefd619]

Thanks for sharing such a personal moment with us. You are a #Hero. All mommies out there are Heroes😍😍😍

[@nessmonae]

This brought tears to my eyes. I pray to experience a love like this ❤️

[@sharonbrown7806]

Yesss the process of birth and doing it at home is AMAZING!! As a doula, all births are a miracle and assisting families is a true life altering experience however when it’s done in the comfort of home with your support systems and biggest cheerleaders called family now that’s the BEST!!!! Simply beautiful Ellises! Ty for advocating home births Kay! 🙏🏼💜☮️🌟

[@Realisbee]

Time goes by so fast🥺 such an inspiring family 🥰

[@agoldengurl]

The photo stills are breathtaking. Great Job Khadeen. I swear every time I watch your home birthing it brings joy to my heart. Can’t wait for God to bless me with the same.

[@seriouslyme921]

Khadeen 😍 I’m so excited for you guys to announce that of E4 is here I found myself watching your old pregnancy and delivery videos!

[@lovemarian63]

Being a single gal still, I’m far from having a baby (only god knows) but I absolutely love being able to educate myself and knowing my options for when the time comes. I’m in awe of your experience, Kay. Thank you thank you for sharing sssoo much detail! Definitely videos I’ll be referring back to and watching over and over ❤️ ✨ Love!

[@yulitahawker6279]

Hey khadeen I have 2 boys n I cry watching this video. Kay you’re a beautiful, inspiring n a amazing woman.

[@Gabrielle-xf3ex]

Wasn’t expecting to cry 😭

[@brenewedwellness]

Kadeen you should do a series or teach about natural birthing! I'd be glued to the screen😍

[@sweettiffy2388]

Part of this brought tears to my eyes watching this

[@tarachilders1209]

I'm so happy bvb you got to experience this! especially after the first trauma with Jackson! three whole beautiful boys. much love and blessing to you and your family. the biggest takeaway for me was I wish I had had more faith in my body in the process when having my kids. I wont make that mistake again.

[@nca4794]

Having seen the original videos on the family channel, I hesitated to watch this bc I thought I knew all there was to know. But, hearing your first hand accounts of the experience from start to finish, and you recalling seeing all the generations around you... I had to keep it together!!! So incredibly beautiful! ♥ And Josh, this production... Bwoy gwaan go big up yuself!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@shayrosem]

Women we are strong! Read that again. Women we are strong. Never doubt yourself and your abilities. Thank you for sharing your story ❤

[@nicolejames8882]

Shay Rose I am 33 y/o and currently 5 months pregnant with my 1st child. I am elated to say the least but just as excited as I am to finally become a mom I am even more nervous about all the pain that comes with delivery but reading your words of encouragement and watching Kay’s video gave me some mental strength that I truly need right now so I just wanted to say THANK YOU!

[@Stldiva679]

[@ceciliesantiago5551]

I don’t have any kids but my husband and I are planning to get pregnant this year. I’m really considering doing a water birth, especially now after watching this!

[@sevenp.8640]

Prayers for your journey to a healthy pregnancy, and baby

[@LaShundaRena]

Seven P. Thank you! 🙏🏽

[@taiburton4377]

Hey LaSunda, how is your journey going so far hun?

[@missfluffydiva2120]

I didn’t have the option of a home birth because I had a multiple pregnancy (twins) and the risk of premature birth was high which actually happened as they arrived 6 weeks early so I had them in hospital with a fantastic team. Kaz’s home birth looked so calming with all of your family around you.

[@jessicaw_on]

Beautiful!!!! I have never been pregnant and still not, but you got me really thinking about home birthing, and suggesting it to others that don’t want to go to the hospital during this pandemic. It was very informative and interesting to watch. My favorite part was when Devale was kissing you and encouraging while pushing. It was a beautiful moment. Biggest take away, do your research and see if this is a better option for you. Love it!♥️

[@TeddiiLogan]

This makes my heart swell. I'm in tears. This was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing!❤

[@edil824]

I cried in 2017 when Initially watched your home birth video and I cried again today as I watched this video. Great experience

[@CharCharJars]

Amazing Documentary of this previous moment, thank you!!!❤️ Amazing support from your husband & family!!! I love it!!!

[@cococurlmama]

I soooo cried bc I related w your birth story and many emotions and strengths! I love the Ellis family💕 This birth felt like it happened yesterday! Bless up!

[@nephertitimurphy5604]

I absolutely love this! Thank you for sharing such an intimate time with the world!

[@nephertitimurphy5604]

My favorite was when Kaz finally was born and i heard his first cry i got emotional lol its a beautiful thing to watch!

[@tammybarnes5158]

Beautiful!!!! I watched the birth on your family channel and almost cried. Giving birth is always beautiful but this sets the bar for those who can do it. Blessings!

[@ChillAndOutTheWay]

I loooooved everything abt this! KayKay (Devale's voice lol) is such a SUPERWOMAN!!!🦸🏾‍♀️ This video was so empowering to watch! I want a home birth and have discussed it with my Honey and he is on board with whatever makes Me most comfortable! The onnnnly thing tho, is I am a complete PUNK n Im terrified of tearing laaaaawd! #FellowSag💙

[@jnaispencer7562]

I just had my first born last September and the overall experience was pretty good from pregnancy to delivery. I did have my son in the hospital though. I was more comfortable with that since it was my first time. Didnt take an epidural or anything. He was out after 3 pushes. I did have to get some stitches though cause I tore a little, but not much. Here in Antigua, I am not sure if we have at home birth options, so that is something I'd have to look into if and when I have another baby. Love from Antigua 🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬 your support system is awesome...💜

[@bettybt8693]

This was so beautiful i saw the original video but this one was even more emotional. Im so scared of having kids and dont knw if i ever will so this puts a huge smile on my face so beautiful. Thx u

[@vibesbydomwav]

Oh man. God Bless. God Bless. God Bless.. This was so Beautiful. And the baby sneezed back to back and made my heart flutter. Good Vibes*

[@radiancesmith1782]

I love love love that you did this video! You inspired me to tell me story! Especially during a time like this of such uncertainty, I too believe Mommies need the remind to not only trust themselves. But also that they have options! Since neither of my 3 labors went this way I created these mommy self care treasure chest to introduce Mommies to motherhood. No matter how many children she has. As you see first hand each time is a new experience. I’m also going to be a postpartum doula! I am completely in love with Takiya. She too empowered me on this video! Thanks again Queen! Idk if you see this but you made my day Kay👑 !

[@radiancesmith1782]

Definitely cried!!! I appreciate your vulnerability and authenticity!!!! You are a game changer!!!

[@kcgirl03]

Oh Kay, how I love your content!! I almost cried, your family birth was so precious. My first delivery was traumatic as hell at the hospital. My second was a planned C-section due to complications, but I wanted a home birth really bad. Very glad it worked out for you❤️❤️❤️

[@leelashammy]

OMG the photos are beautiful 😍🥰❤️❤️❤️💐

[@keishellemoss2127]

Love love love!!!! This was really inspirational and food for thought! Thank you! Biggest take away....there are other ways where you can enjoy the entire experience!.

[@JenuinelyJay]

Oh yes and my biggest take away is that I govern my body and my life. Love this. Thank you

[@josiebfancy]

Girl you got tearing up as if i hadn't seen the home-birth video before!!! Thank you for the additional information. Can't believe Kaz will be turning 3 this year .

This is my second time watching Kaz's birth. Did any other Moms clinch down and frown up there face to help Kay push 😂🤣. I remember my two deliveries without epidural it was definitely different and a faster delivery.

[@lizzg2806]
