My Birth Story (crazy experience both times)

[@kevincaldwell4707]

As a man, and father of two girls, I do appreciate what women go through for child birth. Glad the baby was born healthy. Looking forward to seeing Adeline growing up in such a great family!

[@michelewilliams3761]

Kevin i think its so great you watch her and said what you said about birth that was very very nice

[@mygirldarby]

Yes birth is very dangerous for women. I don't think all men understand that in their heart. Women are given an intuition about pregnancy and we alone should get to decide if a pregnancy continues. We must trust women to make the decisions they've naturally made from the beginning of time. When that right is taken away it is disastrous for women and for society.

I screamed through my labor too. Just like you, I had no control. And with my first labor I had back labor too. It’s the worst! Women are TOUGH and very strong. You did it! And both of your daughters are beautiful and healthy. They are what we are so grateful for. But the labor process is very long and hard for some. I’m so happy you’re recovering easily, you deserve that! And congratulations again, to you both!!

[@Kari_B61ex]

Just amazing, love sent to you all. I had two 'babies' many years ago. My eldest is now 42! I can say that no two births are 'text book' or the same. Every birth is unique - I was present at all the births of my amazing four grandchildren. Three went amazingly well. The birth of my first grandson was however traumatic, my darling eldest daughter experienced placenta previa, it was horrendous. Due to the blood loss after my Grandsons birth my daughter was in intensive care. My brand-new grandson was cared for by me and my amazing son-in-law, for his first two days. My daughter had spoken to me many times about her wanting a 'home' natural birth, and I thankfully changed her mind. She had attended all of her pre-natal checks and scans, and everything was 'fine'. I just thank the lord that she was in the hospital. Much love sent to you all.xxx

[@SHarrell237]

They didn't notice that on an ultrasound and do a c-section? That's scary.

[@janeydoe1403]

I'm watching this a year later. So happy your second delivery had a happy ending. I can't imagine your doctor asking you not to scream, haha. My first one was induced, and I felt like Regan off of the Exorcist with each contraction. Super intense and painful. When I was pregnant with mine, I asked him about episiotomy. He informed me that he would just let me tear. I practically clutched my pearls at the thought. But then he explained that healing an episiotomy is like healing a paper cut. It takes days for the cut to heal back together (like panes of glass) and it's painful. But a tear, because it's like a torn hang nail, is rigid and "knits" very quickly. My recovery was very quick.

[@julika910]

OMG Vika, I felt your story so much I held my breath listening to you. I have given birth twice, screamed everytime and thought I would die. It still blows my mind how much pain you can go through giving birth. And then be so happy as soon as the baby is out. 😅 I wish you and your family all the best!

[@pinkiesmum]

You are an amazing mother and your story needs to be heard, as we often forget how harrowing our birth stories are. Like you, my second birth was much worse than the first and my husband nearly passed out himself from shock. I never had a third child haha!

[@Woeschhuesli]

The chair is called a birthing chair or stool and has a long traditional. The dr. who delivered my first daughter made it known he would not get down on the floor to deliver a mother on one of those so I went to a different hospital for my second (4450g), though she was so big I was on a standard delivery table. And the third was a water birth, also 4 kg. I am sorry you had such a traumatic time, I was lucky that mine were pretty quick, despite my babies being big. It‘s interesting that you were never offered a Caesarean at all. We women do tend to move past the pain of childbirth quite quickly, so it‘s good to hear you‘ve had a great recovery and are enjoying your beautiful Adeline! 🤗(mother of Aveline!)

[@denverdubois5835]

I thought that was interesting too. Perhaps it's a regional thing that they just don't go for a C-section? I think that here in California she would've been given that option pretty quickly.

[@FallenAngelEnemy]

I’m sorry you went through such pain. But I am also surprised that they never recommended a c-section when having a big baby, my son was measuring over 10lbs so I was told because of how big he was I would either get induced at 39 weeks or a c section. I ended up with a c-section and I’m glad I did as he was born 9.4lbs I can’t imagine how much pain you must have been in. I hope you are well and healing 🙏

[@tytec5]

Congrats on the birth of your beautiful daughter! She's so chubby already...I guess she was born chubby! I had 5 home birth and I must say it was never easy or comfortable, some better than others, but my second one was so long and such a painful labor (72 hrs) with very slow progress. Like you I thought I could not go on.....Looking back and hearing your story I marvel at how resilient we are and how something so intense can give us so much joy within minutes of the delivery. Thank you for sharing your story! You have a great husband ( saying nothing during the process was right on point in my book). Adelina is super cute! Let us know how Agatha is doing with the arrival of the baby. 💜

[@sunnyskies4628]

Hi Vika, I can say you are an EXTREMELY strong woman. My births were not easy, thanks to the Doctors my second son and I lived. The first born was natural…. After that epidural heaven for me. Some may say that’s wrong, however everyone is different and the last two seemed much more peaceful. My last son was also over 9 pounds. Im glad you are recovering well and again I say you are a STRONG WOMAN!! 💕

[@oxfordpictionary]

I thought I wanted the water birth, but then after 10 hours of contractions when I was finally able to have the epidural as an option, I said GIVE IT TO ME 🤣 Literally thought I would never agree to have a needle put in my back, but the pain was so blinding I was like GET IT IN THERE. Epidural was like a blessing from the heavens. I then just fell asleep until baby was ready to come out several hours later. Pushing didnt even hurt. Epidural saved me. So thankful I had it

[@astronat2325]

So sorry to hear that you had to go through so much pain. Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl! I'm quite sure that what you're describing is a birthing stool. I used one for both of my births. It's so low because crouching on it sometimes helps to bring the baby down.

I had a very difficult birth experience with my daughter Adeline. I’m so grateful when other women share their difficult birth stories. I had horrible back labor and was very slow to dilate, then she was stuck and I had no feelings to push, like my body couldn’t do anything. When she was finally out we were both suffering from malnutrition and exhaustion so we had to stay for three days in the hospital. Thank you for sharing, this makes me feel better about my own experiences 🤍🤍 much love to you and your family

I had that back pain and I was ok if i died. I didn't feel one contraction. My nurse had probably delivered 10s of thousands of babies and had zero sympathy. I ended up with an epidural and c-section as baby was compressing the cord. my second pregnancy was contractions for 2 months...never dialated. another c-section. having a baby is not fun but the results are worth it!

Wow. Just wow. You deserve a medal! In the US, doctors would have absolutely given you an epidural, and probably a C section. I’m not saying that is better in any way, just how it’s done here.

@@powderandpaint14 yes I don't get why they insisted on the pool. She wanted it before but things didn't go as planned. At this point they should've given her an epidural instead of puting her in the shower and telling her to wait 6 more hours and go through all this pain on her own

[@mommyheart9628]

I definitely recommend epidural and inducing. I also had the back contractions with baby face up instead of down, those are so painful. My 2nd Childs birth was similar to yours- overdue, weeks of false labor, very painful birth. But thankfully I only have 5 hour labors. After 2nd child birth I decided to be induced and get the epidural first. This birth was amazing! I never had any pain and napped until pushing time, I highly recommend this method if it isn't a 1st birth. Also bouncing on the fitness ball and doing hip circles helps the baby get into position and opens all the ligament so the birth is easier. Use the ball many times a day during the pregnancy especially during the last month.

[@mygirldarby]

Epidurals are so scary for me. It feels like your legs are paralyzed. It is terrifying. I wish they had another way to relieve the pain.

[@mommyheart9628]

@@mygirldarby hugs. My legs didn't feel like that but I guess everyone is different. You can ask the nurse to set the medicine to the lowest dose so you can still feel and have them turn it off so you can feel the baby being born when it's time to push. I had a midwife but delivered in the hospital my husband delivered the babies with his bare hands because he wanted to be the first person to touch the babies.

I'm really sorry for the pain you went through, but how awesome that the recovery is going so well!!!

Every birth is different and it is important to be honest about the birth experience. I had puerperal psychosis after the birth of my daughter and people do not understand the trauma of birth even when we prepare so much. Thank you so much for your honesty and I wish you and your family many blessings.

[@ThorneyRose]

I’ve had 6 births (& 3 miscarriages). 3 no intervention at all and 3 induced. All contractions in my back, none across my abdomen that I could feel. Waters had to be broken fro all 6. Pregnancies were dreadful, severe nausea and I lost weight so all babies small. The smallest 5lbs and the largest 6.8lbs. My labour’s complete opposite to you; about 2pm is by the time I gave in and thought that the back pain and urge to push was labour and not constipation!!!😂😂😂. I do however, have great sympathy for you. I’m grateful I was blest in the labours being easy. I’m a nurse and have worked with pregnant women. I guess there won’t be a 3rd? 🤗🥰 Thank you for sharing with us. I’m glad your recovery is going well. I think Adeline just wanted a different birth date!

Adelina is beautiful! Congratulations and I hope you are recovering well despite a difficult birth. Labor and delivery is such a crazy experience. You have to make so many tough choices along the way, when to trust your own body or when to listen to the doctors. I’ve been induced twice, the first time I wished I had waited and the second time it worked really well and quickly but only because I had already progressed quite a bit on my own. But I try not to dwell on the details because it’s really hard to make the “perfect” decision when so much is going on and the goal is to keep everyone safe and healthy but that doesn’t necessarily result in the most easy or smooth experience.

You did great! I had similar experiences giving birth. Both of mine were posterior presentations (they were head down but my babies were rotated 180 degrees) Your horrible back pain sounds just like my experience. If you decide to go for a third in the future, you might try laboring on your hands and knees. I did this and it really helped take the pressure off of my back. My physician periodically made me lay on my back to check me for dilation and I was in agony every time. I ended up even delivering on hands and knees while leaning against a bean bag chair. No birth experience is perfect but as long it ends with a healthy mom and healthy baby the ending is always the perfect. Congratulations on a difficult job perfectly done. 💕🍾

[@karobythell4425]

Yes I totally agree with you . All four of my children were posterior position and the back pain was horrendous .all were drug free natural births 2 were home births and being on all fours really helped . The last one was a water birth and that really helped a lot with the back pain .

I thought about an all natural birth but the contractions were getting so strong and I was 4 days without sleep so I got the epidural thank god! And even though it eased the pain when I had to push it was painful which I can’t imagine how it would be without it. The relief when she came out was a total different feeling that I can’t explain! I don’t even think for a second one but if I ever have another one I’m probably going for a c section. It was just horrible of course there worse experiences but for me I’ve had enough!

I teared up a little while listening to your story. I'm thankful that you and Adeline are doing really good.

Baby Adeline is absolutely beautiful! Now you have two little beauties! Sorry you had a hard time, Victoria. God bless you and your family. Hugs and blessings, from Rosie, in Pa, USA. 😇😇🥰💐💐💐

Vika, the baby is beautiful. Sorry you had such a difficult time, but she is here now😀. Take care of yourself and enjoy your family of 4.

Despite the difficulty of your birth experience, what seems amazing to me is that your body DID open to allow the passage of your very large baby without damage in tearing and that your recovery is fast! (Congratulations!) As I listened to you talk about not being able to get into the bed for the birth I felt that this was the wisdom of your body taking over so that you would be in a position that was more natural for you to deliver your daughter into this world. Although screaming may not have been comfortable for everyone present, do you think it may have been beneficial in releasing the pressure, tension, stress and pain of the experience?

Congratulations! 🥰 Wish you and your family all the best in the future. I find the names very interesting as Adelina means "noble" and Agatha means "good". 🙂 Sending love all the way from Romania. Be safe! Enjoy motherhood. 🥰

Vika, I appreciate your vlog. It was so vivid that I felt I was in the room with you too. Congratulations to your family.

So glad to hear you made it through this ordeal and got a healthy baby girl out of it. It took forever with my first one, too, and I was barely dilating. I wound up with a C-section bc the umbilical cord was wrapped around my baby's neck. With my 2nd I knew it was automatically going to be another C-section, and I'm not going to lie, it was a relief.😚 Wishing you and your family all the best for the future. Enjoy your new baby!💕

Your baby is gorgeous, and you are a radiant mother. Nice to know that you all are okay😊🌺

[@kathyforsyth7794]

She is beautiful!! I'm glad you both are healthy!!

[@hilsbeasley539]

What an horrendous experience. I've given birth twice and it wasn't nearly as bad as that. The chair you describe is indeed a birthing chair, I wanted that but things didn't go to plan and ended up just on the bed. I did have to be stitched up inside and out and had bad bruising. Always love hearing these experiences. Glad everything was well in the end. I was convinced you wouldn't go to your due date with the size Adeline was. Shows how much I know! xxx

[@francescafrevola2823]

What an experience Vika! Thanks for sharing your birthing experience with us. You have a beautiful family ❤️

Congratulation! All the best for you and your family!

[@rosieg9435]

You are incredible! Absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing your story. I've been watching you for a while and had a lot of respect for you before but now, wow! You are a strong woman who will raise strong women

[@maryfoley9441]

I continue to be amazed by you!!! It was very obvious from your last video that your beautiful 2nd daughter was a big baby and my goodness you really went through it bringing her into the world!!!!! And men of course feel so helpless even tho they try their best. I think the whole 'labour' frightens them beyond imagining - with fear for both partner and baby. Thank God you were compensated with an easier recovery and that you had a nice day out with your mom and little family. I remain totally and absolutely in awe of your strength, attitude, and serenity. Are you EVER JUST TOTALLY FRAZZLED?? Can i buy some of your serenity 😇. Love from Ireland.

Adeline is such a pretty girl, and I think she will be nearly a twin for Agatha! I had four back labors myself and the babies were over 9 lbs. I can feel your pain…not a bit of fun! My husband rubbed my back for so long and so hard that my back was a massive bruise after each delivery. How can I describe back labor? It feels like the baby is trying to exit through your spine, ripping through every nerve along the way. Like a tooth being drilled without numbing, only on a much larger scale. However, now you are on the other side and have another gorgeous child to love. Congratulations, Vika! (Darn that Eve!)

[@cameronbrown321]

Congrats from the States!!! Your baby is sooooo beautiful! I wish the best health for you and your family!!!

[@gaylenorman6176]

Congratulations Vika! Continue to feel better, and I look forward to seeing your next video with you and your beautiful family.

[@coquelicot9455]

Oh my goodness this sounds so intense! I've given birth myself 3 months ago and it was VERY painful and I even teared a bit, but I really feel lucky compared to your experiences... it's incredible what you endured, women are strong!

[@donnagrifford7142]
