[@delaneyexpressionalart]

i am crying! i found you when i was in high school, maybe 14-15 years old. i am now 23 and in college! i am so happy for you. such a beautiful birth story and family ❤

[@Nene11133]

Me too! I found her around that same time and I’m currently 23 getting ready to go back to school 🤍

[@HibiscusMelody]

I’m currently 23 in college and pregnant. I found her around the same time as well.

[@rcg224]

​@HibiscusMelody congrats!!!! Wishing u a safe delivery❤

[@katemcwhirter2683]

I’m also 23 and found her around that age & been watching since! So frickin epic hey

[@Julesss2000]

You radiate big momma energy like you were 100% meant for this honey!!!! 🧚🏻‍♀️💚

[@ruthkneebone1970]

I started to cry when you talked about Finley reading your hypnobirthing affirmations to you! I am so happy for you both and so thankful that you have the partner you deserve who can care for you and encourage you so well in the midst of such an intense experience. I'm not in a relationship but dream about being a mom and having a positive home birth all the time. Your story fell on very hopeful ears! Welcome, Corvidia!!! You have amazing parents!!!

[@DanielleGoeddeke]

I’m not pregnant and don’t plan to be for a few more years but birth is something that terrifies me however this video just feels like the embodiment of !!! Women !!! Such a sweet video, congratulations🥹🥹🥹

[@preciouspear7619]

It is so refreshing to hear a positive birth story! I won’t go into detail because I don’t want to traumatize or scare anybody too much, but I almost died giving birth to my son. Hearing this positive story healed a little something in my soul. 🌻 I’m pregnant again, due Feb 2025, & a home birth sounds so nice & seems like such a great opportunity to bond even more with your partner. The way Finley treated you during the birth sounds lovely. My body is not made to push out my baby naturally (the way my bones are structured), but if I had the choice I’d 100% have a home birth this time around. I’m so happy you had a great experience. Congratulations.

[@micahguillemette3344]

According to most people the first birth is always the most difficult. You can do this! I believe in you!

[@jaimebh30]

Congrats on your second! I am due in Feb.

[@deedii8530]

When you said you felt her head and the footage of her arriving to this beautiful world had me in full on tears! As someone who is currently pregnant and working through all the feels, I really appreciate you sharing your families story! ❤

[@blakea.e.1681]

Meg it’s like you’ve always been a mom, you’ve prepared me or guided me through experiences and I can’t think of anyone more suited to care and guide a little baby through the world. Congratulations ❤ Thank you also for being a guide to all of us who haven’t been pregnant

You are truly such an inspiration in many aspects of my life. Hearing your story brought me to tears. Good job momma you’re so strong and I’m so happy for you and this new journey 🎉 also her birth song being Leon bridges is such a slay

[@Elizabeth-yx5on]

Same timeframe for me! :')

[@vegematarianchick]

As a woman who is not interested in being a mom, i usually take a break from watching my favorite influencers after they announce their pregnancy- Im just not super into the baby stuff. But i have really enjoyed your pregnancy videos and how willing you are to give up your privacy to share this experience! Its been a fascinating window into a world that i otherwise avoid and am ignorant to. Thanks for being so open and congratulations 🎉❤

[@rcg224]

such a cute comment

[@leslyebell9030]

When you said that finely started playing the guitar for you that made me tear up genuinely because that is so sweet and reminds me of my husband and I know that he would do sweet things for me like that too when we have a baby :’) there’s nothing like an amazing solid thoughtful partner in moments like these. Love you guys ! ❤

[@seaanemones]

girllll you are so meant to be a momma, never seen someone so chill before birthing a whole human!!!! congrats

[@libbymariemiller]

Because of you I am now looking forward to giving birth instead of being scared! You are such an inspiration. Thank you for being a good role model for others! Been watching you since the pizza talks and watching you get married and have a baby is a blessing.

[@daniellekovacs7734]

You got engaged and married a few years before I did, bought and started renovating your house a few years before my husband and I, and now baby Corvidia! ❤thank you for sharing your world with us this video made me feel so much less anxious for when this moment comes in my own life some day

[@kaylarodriguez7569]

The support that you had during your birth was so beautiful to see. You guys are a beautiful family and I love to see it. Women are just amazing man. Much love girly. 🥰💛

[@caitlinemily3834]

You were born to be a mother. You are such a natural at it and that little girl is so lucky to have you as a mum. Was so lovely hearing about your birth and eased my knowledge that it can be peaceful for when I'm ready to have children one day.

[@paigejosephinebrunner1508]

I saw tearing up during this. What a beautiful moment with everyone around you being so supportive. You would make a really good birth doula!

[@jessicajaso4639]

I felt so proud of you when you said you were proud of yourself 🩷 been around since you were like 15 and I was 16 and I have loved growing up with you. My husband and I are starting the convos around pregnancy and seeing your positive birth story gives me confidence that I could do it peacefully even if I do it in a hospital with an epidural or if I have a c-section! Love you Meg 🩷

[@shnickstube]

[@maddielovesmakeup14]

I am so proud of you Meghan! I have been watching you since i was in high school and I am now 26, turning 27 in October. Being engaged I’ve been scared of the thought that in just a few years this may be me but this makes it very reassuring that birth isn’t “scary”. You and Finley are such amazing parents and I am over the moon excited for you both and your beautiful arrival of baby corvidia💕

[@cwojo7777]

Fav birth story I’ve watched on KZbin🥺😭 (of which I have seen many). You’re so awesome Meg!!! Birth rocks!!!

[@greatgreatgreatgrandma]

I’m so proud of you Meg. It takes so much effort, blood, sweat, tears, and luck to get through birth naturally. I am so happy you got the experience you deserved. Love to you and your lil family 💌

[@emilyolchowski8594]

This is so incredible, you’ve made me realize that this is probably what I want for when I eventually have children- thank you for showing how beautiful and not scary it can be!

[@MayaLouis]

I AM SO PROUD OF YOU! i’ve been watching you for YEARS, and this story brought me so much joy. i had been looking forward to you sharing. I’m 39 weeks tomorrow and planning on an unmedicated birth center birth- the place we chose brings me so much peace. we have 2 amazing doulas and amazing midwives. channeling this energy and inner strength to know that it’s totally possible. YOU GO GIRL!

[@meaghanmasayko5013]

LOVE THIS I cried toward the end when you were talking about tapping into your inner strength and how supported you felt. I’ve been following and watching you since I was also in high school and now I’m 28! This is such a special video and it’s so empowering to hear your positive birth story ❤ thank you for giving it to the world! Sending you and your family so much love ❤

[@haley2684]

[@claudiaparis]

I’m tearing up watching these clips!!! SO PROUD OF YOU you did that!!!! So so beautiful thank you so much for sharing your experience 💖💖

[@Jujyfru1ts]

We were pregnant around the same time, I was just a bit earlier than you. I’m so grateful to hear your story and I’m so glad this was such a beautiful experience for you. Birth is truly an amazing thing, growing an itty bitty babe is just crazy wonderful. I had a bit of a hard pregnancy but you have me oh so inspired and excited to go about pregnancy in an entirely new light when the universe and I are ready to welcome someone new. Thanks and congratulations Meg & hi corvidia! You have the coolest name 🤍

[@hollyncecil9485]

[@destinyjordan0623]

I have been your fan since 14, even own your merch. Your sweet girl was born on my son’s 3rd birthday, I love this for you! Congrats again 💗

[@caulavrra]

Meg, thank you for this wonderful story! Cried quite a few times, giggled a bunch too. Since becoming a mother myself I know for sure that nothing comes close this experience. So powerful!!! You're awesome!! My birth story was traumatic though everyone is alive and happy now 2 years later, I am thinking and processing my experience A LOT. Your story was honestly therapeutic, thank you for that! ❤

[@AnnasPagesandReads]

Proud of you, Meghan. You're incredible.

[@itscarolinemary]

The parts where I almost cried: the dogs staying near you, Finley bringing the affirmations and saying them to you, when she was delivered! 🥺🫶 I'm glad it was a positive and safe experience for you.

[@erikam.cardenas]

This was such a beautiful video Megan thank you so much for sharing! I’ve been watching you for years and seeing you build this beautiful life for yourself is so inspiring ❤ so proud of you and can’t wait to keep following your journey! Welcome baby Corvidia! Also, Larry tooting on you during your labor had me hollering

[@hopeelise02]

Oh Meghan I’m so so so happy that you got the experience you wanted. I’m so emotional watching this, I found your channel when I was in high school and I’m now 22. You’ve always kind of been like my internet big sister in my head ❤ I’m a newly licensed midwife and I’m 9 weeks pregnant with my first baby. Even though I’m a midwife and see out of hospital birth all the time, it still makes me slightly nervous. But hearing your story made me feel so confident in myself.

[@spencerperry115]

I have literally grown up watching you and looking up to you, I was in middle school I believe when I first found your KZbin channel and now I’m 25 about to get married! I’ve always wanted to be a mom and your birth story only made me more excited, I’m so looking forward to all the Mommy Meg content!! Thank you for being you!

[@Greengotts420]

I was soo excited to watch this before having my babygirl like was watching waiting for it checking in on your insta story. However my little girl had other plans and came 2 weeks ago 3 on Tuesday. I’m still so happy to see this and watch it but I’m so bummed I didn’t get to experience watching this before birth I felt so connected to you and your videos during my pregnancy you helped me understand and know what I want learn things decorate you helped me not feel so alone. However I rocked my labor😊😊😊

Amazing job mom and family! My home birth was the best dream birth of all three of my babies. I was very glad my second slept through giving birth to my boy Jensen. My contractions are close together from the beginning as well. I am excited to have another home birth with my fourth in Winter. I hope you and Finley have a great week with Cordivia!
