My Birth Story! Induced & Assisted Birth

♥ Hi everyone!
I am finally sharing my birth story with all of you! Nothing really went accordingly to my birth plan but in the end it was a positive experience and I am so grateful for our daughter, Mia. Women are amazing and I still cannot believe my body created another human!
The best advice I can give to anyone who is expecting is to have a birth plan but also know that things can change during labor. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments below and Ill do my best to answer (from my experience only). I always recommend speaking to your doctor for any questions as they will guide you best!
Sending you all so much love!
xox,
Arshia

Omg I’m in tears 😭 I almost had a similar experience with my son and promised I will never get pregnant again but here I am 22 weeks pregnant again and very excited 😊😆

[@gayatribhekare2536]

I can imagine how you actually felt, I cried every time you cried, it reminded me of the birth of my two kids. It’s amazing how every mom has exactly same feelings. Your baby is so adorable. Lots of love to her🥰

[@riddhiniyogi]

This is the reason I have been following you for such a long time. You are so true to each and every thing you say. If it is scary you don't sugar coat it. I have always been motivated by you. Right now 5th week pregnant and scared. And again you motivated me. Thanks Arshia. Really thank you!❤

[@khushboopatel6825]

I’ve been waiting for this video. I had my baby boy March 3rd and can definitely relate. My hospital dosed the epidural according to my weight. They didn’t turn it down at all thankfully. I couldn’t feel a thing but pushed for an hour and half. Mia is beautiful. Way to go Momma!

[@aaware1]

Thanks for sharing this in such detail, it does really help create awareness for new mom's . You did just everything that had to be done for Mia and your the best mother she can ever have.

[@shamiquafileen7906]

This is a really informative vid, from a woman that doesn't have kids as yet, but will one day. Congrats to you on baby Mia... you are a superwoman!

[@prarthanamadhavan3408]

I had my baby in May 2020 and listening to your birth story just made me relive mine. I am just proud to be a woman and am in awe of the hidden strength we all have. Lots of love to you and Mia....she is precious 💕💕

[@noormehr780]

Awww it’s so emotional. I was crying my eyes out at the end. You don’t really understand what labor is like until you go through it. Pushing it so difficult & emotional. Baby Mia is so precious 💕💕

[@fa291209]

I love how you kept it real.. the panic u felt when they said vacuum... it just goes to show much new moms are not aware of. Thanks for sharing your story.

[@anjalipathak3103]

Omg! This is so beautiful ♥️ I am just sitting here crying thinking about my baby, who is coming soon. Also, Mia is absolutely beautiful 🥰

[@MXena30]

Arshia...the only people who have ever been this raw and real about their birth stories with me are my best friend, and you. Thank you for sharing this sacred rite of passage. Labour and childbirth is scary and fraught with difficulty so don't feel bad for saying how you felt. You are a mom now, that's all that matters💖

[@bensonjoseph9902]

First of all congratulations Arshia!!!! You did an amazing job. You were so honest and thanks for being so real! I literally cried, thinking about my mom and what women have to go through. I'm so glad you had a good doctor, nurse and hubby supporting you all the way. Your baby is beautiful and so are you. God bless you and enjoy your new gift. Peace!

[@SruthiPeter]

This made me emotional! Congratulations Arshia!!! Mia is so so precious!!! 💖

[@bsqueek6209]

You have done so well.. the process is hard. My sister went through the same process and i was there with her.. cried when the baby was born. Im currently expecting and was waiting so much for this video.x

[@anjelijayme4610]

Very emotional story. Thanks for sharing. I had a good experience too but so so different. This is great that you shared to educate women on what to expect and what is totally normal.

[@MeticulousShopper]

Congratulations! I always assumed assisted births led to terrible tears, so it's awesome that your tear wasn't too bad!

[@RANJITHA.PAI.]

Congratulations! She is perfect!! Could relate so much with your experience!! Made me emotional as well!!

[@deeprasarkar1409]

[@stacylugo2943]

It sounds like you did an amazing job...childbirth is difficult in some way for all of us...Many congratulations to you and your hubby on your beautiful new baby!

[@hianjana]

Thanks a lot Arshia for being so honest with your experience! I am planning to have a kid this year and this video is so informative at the same time I'm scared too! Finally I heard a true story compared to what we see in movies. Labor is so much more complex than I ever imagined!! I got emotional when you explained the whole vacuum thing and I can understand it had drained you so so much!! Thank God everything went well and Mia and you are safe and healthy now :) :)

[@kisanature]

Thank you for this! I’m 39 weeks this weekend with my first and I’ve been given an option for induction and feel confused about it all. I’m glad you shared your experience, it was very helpful to hear!

[@eminekeskin4651]

Awww, she is so cute🥺🥰 Congrats Arshia❤️

[@jerzpyt]

Bravo Arshia you are a warrior! Mia is beautiful!💕

[@godsgirl7201]

I appreciate you for being honest😭😭😭 and open

[@ajoopa12]

Congratulations Arshia..you are such a brave mumma...i started crying where you mentioned you had a panic attack..every birthstory is unique and brings goosebumps including urs...Mia ia beautiful just like you and your family..thanks for sharing such a personal experience with us !

[@sayeedamiah2793]

Congratulations to both of you. I had my daughter 19 years ago. I planned everything but nothing went to plan. I never read up on a Caesarean section but had to have one last minute. In the UK our NHS maternity is amazing and they really looked after me . Isn’t it amazing how quickly you forget the pain once you’re holding your baby. By the way Mia is a beautiful name, its also my surname but I have a “h” at the end. Love to all 3 of you.

[@jessj7666]

Congrats! My 2nd child is named, "Mia"...and I delivered her with vaccum assistance as well! I was so happy when she finally came out because labor was intense while pushing. I chose to do it without an epidural and it was the greatest high I have ever felt, from the time I pushed her out to the time they laid her on my chest. Blessings to you sweet mama! Sp excited for sweet Mia. I cried so much when I stared at my little babies in their sweet faces after birth and for weeks after!!!! Enjoy the highs and lows those first few months. I smiled everytime they woke up to be nursed during the night. Take care of u mama...hot showers and great healthy food were what helped me the most those first 6-8 weeks!

[@sadiahalima3509]

Not even pregnant or anything but crying my eyeballs out. Love you Arshia and baby Mia.

[@sharonkhalsa]

Omg me too!!!! Gahhhh so emotionallllll 🤷🏽‍♀️😅😭😭😭😭😭

[@angelascarfone358]

What an emotional video! Thank you for being so honest. I am due in June, and up until now, all the friends and family I have spoken to tell me how well the epidural worked for them, but failed to mention the dosing being reduced, so thank you for bringing that up. Also, no one talks about the catheter part as much. I have always been terrified of the labor and delivery, but I have been trying to calm myself down, and thought I was in an okay place mentally preparing. I see now that I'm not. Cue the panic. As scary as it sounds, it does help to hear other women's experiences, so once again, thank you. And congratulations!!

[@shivanichadha7578]

I am in the same boat as you Angela! How was it all? Hope everything went well!

[@PrativaGovender]

Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m so happy u and baby Mia are healthy and well

I’m 3 months pregnant and so terrified about the birthing part, but hearing your story just really reassured me that we can do it! Thank you for sharing 😘

[@shammmudassir4572]

[@g.v.9261]

You're a hero! All you women are!!

[@inbetweenroadswings8196]

Congratulations Arshia....i can so relate to this coz I went thru exactly the same experience. You brought back a lot of memories for me. Our daughter is 16 years now and it's been an amazing journey. I wish you and you lil bundle of joy all the very best. God bless and stay safe. 😍

[@anchalsood9567]

Might I say. You are beautiful and I havenot seen a more truthful video on delivery before.good vibes😌😗

[@priyankashah224]

Yes I had almost same experience as yours . I am in Canada. But here they gave me oxytocin. Now I am watching you and I am remembering my delivery day in dec last year. Ohhh it still brings chills!

[@sarahsyed-chaudhry1724]

[@ranjanasingh3808]

Aww... You're so sweet and Mia is such a darling !! Can totally understand your emotions.. made me recall my experience so clearly even though it was 27 years ago !!!! You'll always remember every moment ... Love you and Mia loads.. God bless 💕

[@ashamohamed8910]

Congratulations honey ❤️ , am so happy for you am mom of 5 kids and I had my twins 6 months ago , your video made me cry it’s so emotional god bless all the moms in the world ❤️❤️

[@bharathishrikanth1125]

Best video ever, my labor was 60 hours, I had to push for 8 hours with epidural, it’s mentally tiring. Whatever your hospital did, they did great to reduce the epidural during labor. I have a beautiful 7 year old girl now...feel blessed always....Congratulations Mommy 💐💜💜💕💕❣️

[@zainnajmi3982]

I'm 35weeks now...was waiting for this video..very informative ❣️

[@Radha_G_28]

I had almost the same experience delivering my first born. Had a labor for 25 hours. Then pushed for 3-4 hours. Baby’s head could be seen but he couldn’t come out. I was told by my Ob that my pelvis was too narrow for his head - the medical term for this I believe is Cephalopelvis disproportion! Then I ended up having a C-sec! Thank you for sharing your very emotional journey! 😍 Congratulations, Mama! Big hugs! God bless your Angel! 👼

[@griseldamartinez6630]

Congratulations, you did great! Yes, labor is no joke, but its all worth it in the end! Its a experience you will always treasure! Enjoy your baby girl MIA! Blessings to you and your husband! ✌👍👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌💕👑👐🎉

[@psch3184]

Yay, finally. Thanks for sharing.

[@ashwaneelangar1852]

U made me got chills n cry 🥺😢❤

[@harmangarcharana]

The moment you got emotional, I swear to God, I felt like getting into my screen to give you a tight warm hug 🫂 you did it! I am not a mom yet but I do know how bad the contractions get bcoz unfortunately I had a miscarriage 3 years ago. Anyhow, I feel every woman is so strong that she herself isn’t aware of it. I mean, often times in our day to day lives, we still ask our husbands or any male member of the house to do a heavy job, like lifting something heavy etc however trust me, no man ever can go through what we women do in our lives to bring a new life

[@vasanthi1678]

Hi Arshia I'm so emotional and Congrats to you and Mia looks very beautiful. God bless you and baby Mia sis.😊❤❤

[@rashistephens-media9202]

Ugh so emotional now 😭💜💜

[@reet57]

God bless!! such a beautiful experience

[@aneesayakoob355]

Wow such a beautiful amazing birth story .... I wished I had watched a birth story like yours before I gave birth because your story so perfectly describes how labour really is. The way you describe the contractions and so many other things is exactly how it was for me ... your story will indeed prepare many woman out there to prepare for labor. Congrats on your beautiful baby girl ....you did such an amazing job 👏 ❤ 💖

[@amritkaur8826]

Congratulations to you and your family ❤️

[@naziat18]

You just made me cry... cant wait to see my baby very soon in shaa allah ❤️

[@ghauvishini]

Thank you for sharing! You are the best 😍

[@sharlenenana5761]

Congrats, baby Mia is adorable 🥰

[@Nasreenkid]

U r not the only one who have gone through all is, i had a same experience! I have one son Couldn’t push after 3 hrs, my body was almost dead! They had to vacuumed him, they could see his head Its not easy to push! I had Labour for 30 hrs almost The worst was nurse mishandled the vacuum and blood was all over, my BP Went too low But every thing was ok because Thank God my Son was ok and it was everything for me at that time:) Congratulations to u

[@srigouriv.murthy9340]

Congrats! Beautiful baby girl 💕she is adorable 😀

[@sanaa.2195]

Hey Arshia!! So happy to hear you are doing okay. Just for the ladies who wanna know: 1. It's okay to be induced for labour. The optimum time is 39-42 weeks. There is nothing wrong with getting induced, it's actually better so the baby is not so big and it's easier. (They give you some medication to dilate and start contraction s) 2. In vaginal labour after you have dilated and the contractions are pretty frecuent, the baby starts coming down the labour canal (there are 4 stages, if the baby gets stuck in the first 2, you'll end up having a cesarean, if the baby is stuck in stage 3,4 a spatula/ or vacum can help to rotate the baby if needed and help to get the head out). 4. The contraction basically is your uterus being contracted. It starts from the top to bottom (so it is actually like a 🌊 wave). That's why it's so important that you push just when the contraction is on its peak to help the baby move forward). Take care 😘

[@anitharajan8490]

Congrats dear. Even my eyes in tears because we are Mom. Even for my son we used vaccum. I remember the scene when you are telling urs. Lots of love to Mia.

[@aadij8858]

Congratulations! Mia is very precious..It made me emotional to hear your story..xoxo

[@shadiqakhan6920]

Omg... I am like reliving my own labor and delivery.. I too was induced and pushed for hours.. my first child but my second was not induced. But yeah the pain is the worst, but when you see your baby it’s gone . Thanks for sharing your story,. Lots of love ❤️
