MY BIRTH STORY | Delivering Twins at 26 Weeks While on Vacation

Here it is.🤍 My insanely wild birth story of how I delivered my twin girls at 26 weeks while I was on vacation and all the miraculous ways God showed up in the midst. While this wasn’t how I ever imagined bringing my babies into the world God always knew this would be our story and He gets every ounce of glory from it.

Thank you for sharing your story! Gave birth to my son at 25w & 5d on June 20th and have a long NICU ahead. We are in the thick of it. Your story made me feel way less alone. More content please!!!

[@magnolia7322]

Hi Gabrielle, thank you so much for sharing. what was the name of the song that played? I would love to listen to it too!do you happen to have a public playlist of your worship music?

[@PeaceBeStill39]

I was wondering this too!

[@NowBloom]

I was going to ask this as well! 🥰🙏

[@allisonkoczman2356]

I also want to know!

[@jojoply]

Yes please…

[@lifethroughhereyes3958]

Yes please! I really am looking for music to put on my birthing list…

[@cheyennejennings4433]

This brought me to tears and I relate so much to your story. I had my son at 29 weeks emergently and I remember the first night grieving what I didn't get to experience and my pregnancy being over so soon. I am 11 months postpartum and sometimes still grieving. I've followed you from the beginning and God has been so good! Cheers to being home with your beautiful baby girls! ❤️❤️❤️

[@sierrawiebe9422]

I relate to you so much when you talk about grieving the process of delivering your baby and holding them in your arms. I had my daughter at 33 weeks and she was rushed straight to the Nicu too. My delivery was a C section and I felt so almost angry at my body. Like I couldn’t keep my baby in and protect her. I felt like I had already let her down as a mom and was so ashamed by that. On top of that then grieving not being able to have a vaginal birth; having my belly be gone so soon when I loved being pregnant; and missing all the special pregnancy things. I didn’t get maternity photos done; and I had to cancel my baby shower, etc. I didn’t expect all the feelings that would hit me after having my daughter. Even now if I think about it too much I get sad. But my daughter is 4 months old (12 weeks corrected) and she is healthy and beautiful and everything I dreamed of.

[@Jordyn64]

Incredible story. I’m so glad you and your babies are well. I’m a midwife and can say that losing your mucous plug doesn’t mean your cervix is 2cm 😊

[@kdr11112]

My granddaughter was born at 23 wks 6 days, 1 lb 4 oz. (20% survival chance) but God is good! She spent 140 days in the NICU, she is a beautiful, amazing, bright 5 year old now! It’s been a challenging 5 years, but so worth it. She is thriving! With God’s blessings my daughter was able to have a second successful pregnancy. Of course, she was followed by a high risk ob, and took medications to prevent another pre-term delivery, and now has an amazing 10 month old little girl as well. They delivered her at 37 weeks by c- section, only because she had to have a c-section with her first daughter. Just know that times can be tough, but in the end all children are a gift from God! I’m so happy that your girls are doing well! 🩷

[@Holly-yj6hn]

Hi Gabi! My name is Holly! I am a few years younger than you and in college, but I began following you after finding yours and dylan's "how we met" video on youtube. Years and many read posts later I know that I am better for following you! The Lord has used you in ways you may not know the full extent of-- your girls too! I am in nursing school right now and this video had me crying along with you. One, because although I don't know you I have been praying for your girls since day one and I have watched you walk through this so faithfully. Two, becuase It gives me so much hope for my profession. Always praying for your fam!!!

[@0Alwina0]

I delivered a singleton at 28 week. I was transported to a hospital with a NICU and also progressed really fast. I am just bawling my eyes out listening to your story.

[@leanneadams2549]

Wow. I didn’t cry until she did I was listening and hanging on every word !! And I couldn’t agree more about having worship music playing while being born !! And yes, I loved being pregnant also ! Thank you so much for sharing your miracle twins ! I always wanted twins myslef !!

[@chanatayver8719]

Wow!! What a story!! So touched!!! I'm so happy that your babys are home after being in the NICU for so long!! Enjoy them!! They get big before you know it!!regards from Switzerland

[@dikoblackings5335]

May the Lord continue to strengthen you and your family. Thank you for sharing your testimony. We are praying for you ❤

[@kortneypersuhn3141]

Wow listening to you talk about worship music has me in tears! How powerful. Your story has changed so many lives. Thank you for sharing and for being so transparent. You are a blessing to many. ✝️ I am 21 weeks pregnant and I plan on having worship music on while I deliver. 🥰

[@paigeflowers3637]

I have been so moved by your story. God is so good.

[@aleshairwin8838]

You may not have the birth story you wanted, but WOW do you have a beautiful story to tell!! So many times in life things don’t go the way we planned or thought, but we can always turn those hard & bad situations to God’s Glory!! I don’t know the rest of your story, but I am now anxious to hear how your girls are doing. Keep sharing your story to others!!

[@georgiaxrees14]

Such a beautiful birth story! Congratulations on your girls❤wow, so in awe of God's goodness throughout your experience. Who knows if the girls had to be born just so that those nurses and medical staff could experience the presence of God and see the miraculous. Praise God!

[@silvanastinarn]

❤ What a beautiful soul you are and so strong! And how you, together with your twins, have brought God's presence into so many life's!!! You must be overwhelmed of love and light by the love of God, and the love by your twins! Thank you 4 sharing your story with us all...

[@michelleward1746]

I am blown away by your story. I am in tears. God is so good.

[@mandiecabe6355]

I think it’s amazing how the Lord used this traumatic experience to reach so many unbelievers. Imagine how many people had never heard the gospel or seen it’s power… and through your story, got to experience the goodness and the power of God!! So amazing how God works through trials and difficulties. ❤

[@annagarza7299]

I’m so happy that you and your babies are safe and healthy ❤️ I was raised as a Catholic and I do not like to preach everyone has there own thoughts and beliefs as I did (I am married and have 2 kids ) until our 7 yr old son was diagnosed with cancer osteosarcoma (we also have a 6 yr old girl) when we were rushed to a UC HOSPITAL on a pediatric cancer floor at was already in shock but once we arrived and we started to walk around we saw babies as young as 3 months to 18 yrs old with every cancer you can think of and this floor was FULL and what I witnessed in the next 3 yrs would make anyone think WHY WOULD GOD makes these babies SUFFER UNBEARABLE PAIN WITH CHEMO , OPERATIONS GETTING LIMBS REMOVED , RADIATION then possibly passing away and that happened to most of them like our son he died in my arms I will NEVER BE THE PERSON I WAS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED SHE DIED and my faith also 😞

[@morganakers9293]

Hi I’m new. This testimony is so so beautiful. This touched my heart❤ I am so Happy that everything went smoothly for you and that God was apart of your story❤❤❤❤

[@stephanieaguirre6609]

Wow thank you so much for sharing. God is so good. I have to say first off, how much I appreciate you clarifying that God did not orchestrate what happened to you, that we live in a fallen world with a very real enemy, but that through it God was with you and His hand was all over it. Too many Christians would say God allowed it and it was His will and that’s just not our God. So thank you. And lastly, I just want to say how blessed you all are to have such a wonderful community that was with you every step of the way and was caring, and interceding on your behalf for you guys and your sweet babies. What a treasure that is. Again thanks so much for sharing this amazing glory story. Thank You Lord for those sweet and healthy growing babies.

[@kjulieth]

Thank you so much for sharing your story 🥹♥️ I’ve been following your story and it’s crazy how everything happened but God is using you to be a blessing to so many people.

[@taylorhedrick2999]

What an amazing testimony of the Lord! Praise God for your beautiful babies & the safety of you 3! ❤

[@phyliciaobrien6446]

Such an amazing testimony!! God truly has his hand on your family’s lives! I’m curious what song was playing when you were delivering ??

[@tanya41277]

I'm very co fused at how you didn't understand contractions or a mucous plug or any of what was happening? Sry...idk why you tube put you in my feed. I'm assuming you are some part of a religious group? Twin pregnancy is high risk to begin with. By 26 weeks into my twin pregnancy I had read 50 books on what to expect. I'm just confused how a young woman gets to that place?

[@amandaallen9460]

As someone who was also born at 26 weeks nearly 35 years ago, God can do miracles...

[@monalapaloma2291]

What song were you playing that made the nurse cry? Would you mind sharing your playlist?

[@NowBloom]

Thank you for sharing your testimony 🙏God is so so good 🤍

[@bethmorton5794]

Beautiful testimony of God's faithfulness. Praise God your babies are doing well.

[@sunflowercountryfarmhouse]

I would have called my doctor at 26 weeks having that many cramps with twins. No pregnancy is the same, so talking to friends was not the answer. I am glad it turned out okay.

[@cookiecutter5333]

Wow! What a moving story! Thank you for sharing and I can’t wait to share this video with others. You continue to touch lives with your story.

[@karolinaspain]

What a testimony! God is so good! Praise the Lord! Thank you Jesus 🙏🏻❤️

[@write2esther]

Thanks for sharing how faithful God is in your amazing story.

[@mukalolungile9075]

Bless you! They’re going to grow into the most beautiful and strong girls🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@megana9908]

Woahhhh wasn’t expecting that. This was a great story. God is good.

[@megana9908]

I had twins at 34 weeks, I can’t imagine going into labor at 26. Amazing.

[@tiajade_]

Most beautiful story God bless❤

[@jessy4935]

Maybe not believers but respect for a higher power and for your beliefs.

[@GeorgiaPeach87]

God used you & those beautiful babies to touch more souls. ❤

[@cynthiawilliamson5905]

You know the prayer kept you and babies alive.

[@monicabarnes1435]

What a beautiful testimony, Thank you God for your amazing grace and mercy. Gabriele just a thought, you repeated that some of the staff were unbeliever's, I believe they were believers, they felt the presence of God in that room listening to your selection of worship music, it may have had an impact on their hearts reminding them that God is still on the Throne creating miracles and they were able to witness that with you and your husband through the delivery of your twins.

[@eliannahankin2971]

So sorry that happened to you! My baby was rushed to NICU as well. She was blue and gasping for air at 39 weeks gestation.

[@antelopea1781]

Can you share the worship music you played?

[@kimstrait4403]

This was so special to listen to such a Beautiful story. I'm new and I cryed 😢it was so amazing to have friends & family pray and knowing you have Nurses helping with the deliver who pray for you and your daughters. Thank God you were in a very safe place. To delivery the girls. Congraulations 🎉🎉❤❤. What song did you play. If you would want to share.

[@sarahpastura6950]

It's scary how similar our stories are. However one of my twins w a heart defect didn't live past 6weeks

[@emilyhawk481]

This is a beautiful, scary story. Thank you for sharing. Praise God!

[@noratap4341]

This is so beautiful, made me cry. God is sooo good!!!🙌🏻 God bless you and your babies. So happy for you that they are home. 😊

[@morganfalkdesigns]

Communion is the word. Agreeance is not a word.

[@jleiva92]

Incredible story ❤ God bless your family 😇😇

[@stephaniedixon8366]

God is good! Just found this video and on Good Friday ❤

[@danashick9971]

[@darkblu09]

What an incredible story!

[@Unknownally22]

Such a beautiful birth testimony, thank you for sharing 🤍

[@Megandaubss]

What was the song that was playing? So glad your girls are home. God Bless xxxx

[@TB80]

I still wonder what the song was ❤

[@mariapilartorrusio3625]

Thank you for sharing your testimony ❤

[@shellygreen3014]

So my daughter had premature twins at 29 weeks, she had very little contractions and was already dilated to 5…I’m guessing you were in full born labor all Friday night…she was able to get the two steroid shots to help babies brains and lungs but she kept dilating and then they did a ultrasound and one of the babies was breech so she ended up having an emergency c section….the NICU will stay with you forever and you will have bonds with others who have been in your position….so hard, so stressful, she has PTSD from it….luckily her two beautiful girls had no health scares. They needed time to grow and learn to eat

[@shellygreen3014]

I am so happy that your girls are finally home and doing well ❤️

[@karlineebanks]

Please add the song I would like to hear it

[@alishavanes2729]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful story ❤️

[@thebookerz]

Oh my gosh i title says it all!! That had to be scary for you. Plus the fact that they asked you to go further to a dif hospital!

[@margarethawolfe7989]

Can you tell me the name of the song you played. Or is your worship list on Spotify?

[@ck4599]

This is an amazing story, giving glory to God like u did is great❤

[@MsNursekelly]

Can you please share the worship song playing for the birth that the nurses said should be played during births.....I am and NICU nurse. Thank you

[@sarahpastura6950]

I had twins and had them at 30 weeks. It's to this day unexplained and I thought it was Braxton Hicks too bc I had no idea

[@chellymarie5686]

Hope ur girls are doing well 💜

[@elliealdrich7376]

Your story is inspiring and thank you for sharing this with us

[@ChristinaFreechild]

Why do people keep naming girls Noah? Weird.

[@ogcherchenko]

Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@amandabaum6035]

What’s the name of the song and musician

[@brittanymatter5436]

I had contractions throughout my pregnancy with my 3rd baby and my 1st baby that were not considered Braxton Hicks. I did have preterm labor with my 2nd and 3rd baby (3rd baby twice) and delivered my first at 39 weeks and my 2nd and 3rd at 37 weeks. I also suffer from endometriosis so when I FEEL the contractions (they've been picked up on monitors without feeling them) then I have to spend at least 48 hours in the hospital because they have to be pretty strong to feel them and I'm giving the steroids to help develop their lungs and I'm given medication to at least slow how fast they come and lessen the pain (I'll have them every 5 mins or less) it is scary and I do dilate with the contraction. my last I had the issue at 19 weeks. turns out I not only have endometriosis but a diagnosis of an incompetent cervix and irritable uterus. not fun, incredibly scary! and very hard to tell the difference even as a seasoned mom from Braxton Hicks and early labor!

[@coolestgrammyintown5598]

That is so wrong to be making a negative comment!! Does it make you feel better??

[@chloecagle6493]

Question just out of curiosity - why the spelling Noah? I thought Noa was typically used for girls.

[@chloecagle6493]

*also this is not judgment whatsoever! I love them and think they are beautiful ❤

[@perle13930]

What is your song on the playlist honey? 🥰

[@Wonkyslush000]

Play every single time a person of Christian faith delivers*

[@findmeintime]

what was The Song??

[@stephanieshonestreviews2077]

why didn't you call an ambulance?

[@TheHello346]

Amen!!!!

[@amandahoward3454]

I love the videos

[@wyominggal6090]

❤️🙏

[@shainasmith9923]

[@shainasmith9923]

absolutely stunning birth story! Praise Jesus!!

[@sarahpastura6950]

Were they conceived naturally?

[@SL-xw4sf]

Yes

[@petal8829]

All babies are natural works of god ❤️

[@derrickblanding2730]

Powerful story! My wife delivered at 34 weeks two beautiful girls 3 months ago!! We are still adjusting and trying to embrace all of the moments. Come on over and see our birth vlog, because diapers and formula AIN'T cheap! ;-)

[@Thisorganizedmother]

❤❤❤

[@richardpappas7800]

GOD Creatd your journey ,kept your babies save to be born. Perhaps his goal was to make believers out of non believers. He does work in mysterious ways.

[@terriebuys4052]

Like like like like like like like…………

[@cm-yu6gu]

I am only 8 minutes into the story but I wanted to already comment thankyou so much for sharing what a mucus plug is Why have I never, ever heard of that before?? That seems like pretty vital information for all people to know!! I am going to Google it now

[@caitcahoon]

My baby went to the nicu too and the HARDEST part was not holding him on my chest after delivery. 🫶🫶
