MY BIRTH STORY | Positive Unmedicated Hospital Birth Vlog *raw*

[@Noturbasikbeautyxo]

You just shine/ carry yourself differently and it’s so beautiful to see you transition into motherhood. Thank you for sharing Connor’s beautiful birth story ❤❤

[@michellereedg]

oh thank you 🥺🤍

[@SusieQZee]

Cash is an absolute angel to have never left your side. He mustve been so anxious when you left for the hospital, and so relieved and happy when you came home, and with Connor, Ohmigoodness. Such a good boy!

[@michellereedg]

I think about that too 😭 my sister grabbed him right after we left, thankfully he loves being with her kiddos!

[@victoriamorsew]

I'm 37 weeks and have been hesitant to watch birth vlogs, but this was so inspiring and has motivated me to continue with my plan for an unmedicated birth! Thank you for sharing your story and putting out such positive content

[@qamargul650]

I hope you have a safe delivery ❤

[@retrorenegade1967]

How did it go?

[@AutumnsBoardnTrainLLC]

Any update ❤

[@victoriamorsew]

@@AutumnsBoardnTrainLLC unfortunately I went past 41 weeks and opted for induction. But it was still a wonderfully (medicated) experience. I would do it over and over in a heartbeat! I've learned it's not how your baby is born, but the birth team by your side 🫶 I had an easy recovery and the healthiest baby girl!

[@gabriellailene]

Immediately clicked. Thank you so much for sharing this with us ❤

[@michellereedg]

of course, such a special story to tell 💌 appreciate you!

[@janejones1797]

Congratulations on your beautiful baby! Thank you for sharing him with us. So happy for you!

[@hasnartabi4828]

Could you share your birth playlist? Sounds incredible ❤️

[@taylorlester3495]

Thank you for sharing with us! I would love to see the vlog from November!! You are glowing, mama!

[@leahmary1]

I second this! Would love to hear your thoughts in the days before 😊

[@Kaitydidz315]

You are so incredibly inspiring! So rare to hear unmedicated birth stories, but the peace and confidence in God in your story is amazing. And your son is precious! Hope you all continue to do well! ♥️

[@jp9153]

Wasn’t expecting this video so soon after your last one. Love your editing style, it’s so relaxing and calming. It’s honestly so nice to hear an unmedicated birth as many videos I watch they get an epidural ❤

[@michellereedg]

thank you so much ❤ really believe all births are special in their own way! grateful for our story, a joy to share 💌

[@arkhamxavier3066]

Gosh, when i tell you i bawled my eyes out when you said ‘my baby’ when he finally came out. I cannot wait to experience this myself

[@SavvySmiles11]

My son is 2, but this brings me back! The feeling of meeting your baby for the first time and them lying on your chest is so surreal and amazing. One of the happiest moments 💕 I’m so glad to hear your birth experience went smoothly! You have so many amazing memories ahead of you! ❤

[@1t1ynnej]

SO BEAUTIFUL! Teared up multiple times 🥹 Seeing God through your birth experience all makes it extra beautiful!!

[@samanthahughes1722]

So happy you’re back! Two videos in one week you’re killing it mama! We would love to see that vlog from November btw 🩷

[@karissawidder]

So happy for you! Babies are a GIFT and this whole process is a MIRACLE!

[@soccerlovermj]

I’m expecting twins next week and your baby content couldn’t have came at a better time! So happy for yall!!

[@tracygarrett3952]

Twins! Congratulations 😊

[@Shadeydey]

Good timing! 38 weeks and preparing for an unmedicated birth!! Yes please do a 4th trimester video. Thank you for the tips and congratulations again! So happy to finally hear that you and your family are doing well 🎉❤

[@sarahstahlman99]

I am 20 weeks pregnant today and let me just say that this video was so encouraging to me!! I am planning on having a hospital birth, but not many people in my life have had a positive birth experience in a hospital. So I was getting kind of nervous about it. But just hearing how you were able to feel safe and comfortable in the hospital and have an unmedicated positive birth experience gives me hope! Thank you so much for sharing and I'm glad that you and Connor are doing well!! 🥰

[@kattynavarroz6439]

I have seen a lot of Birth Vlogs, but your's is the most genuine and sweet, congrats on baby Connor ❤

[@jjjabvi]

i love hearing how much you are loved! not bc you metion it but by the actions that you describe. your cash, your husband, your family, your support delivery team, God, you are adored

[@Nikkawaii]

Not me bawling at the exclamation of “my baby!” 🥲 your family is so so loved! ❤

[@charlottevanginkel5948]

Very special to hear your story! I am a first time mum too, my due date was the 10th of November! Soo very special to see this. We had to be a bit more patient until the 22th of November before we could meet our Son! And dear god what is mothership a rollercoaster. Love, overwelmed, feeling in charge, feeling definitely NOT in charge, crying, laughing; everything I experience in a average morning ☀️ We rock mums!

[@jaymewilliamsfitness4352]

You’re a rockstar!!! What a beautiful bit to story, too. You talking about that moment when they placed him on your chest and staring at him all night bereft me back to my babies’ births almost 11 and 8.5 yrs ago. Such amazing memories to cherish for a lifetime. ❤

[@lisajmac]

Thank you for sharing, this is so beautiful to hear about your reliance on God and how He unified you and Aiden throughout the labour process. Congratulations to the three of you! Thankful for your content. ♥

[@amandahelder7595]

Jervis Campbell’s Eden has helped me through a hard season before. It’s a special song and I loved hearing someone else feel encouraged by it. Congratulations! 🤍🤍

[@haley2684]

I'm 22 weeks with our boy and this made me excited to give birth! thank you for being so raw about your experience! It's so refreshing to hear a positive birth story.💛

[@christinamarie3374]

Watching this just makes me think about all of the self work you’ve done this far. All your videos have shed light on living out your best life no matter if it’s relationships, marriage, friendships, or faith. You’ve done the best job at showing the ups and the downs. I truly believe all of the work you’ve done to improve yourself has helped you blossom into today, and into motherhood. You’re doing great! You’re a light to this community. Thank you x10!✨🌈💛

[@michellereedg]

oh my goodness, thank you 🥲🦋

[@michaelsmom1199]

omg the footage of you when your water was breaking 😭 so special and sweet and real. michelle thank you so much for sharing. 🤍

[@laurenhawker9028]

It’s so amazing to have you back! We missed you 💗 So glad you and Connor are doing well ✨

[@michellereedg]

thank you so much Lauren 💗

[@danasayer7995]

OMGGGGGGG you’re back ❤❤❤❤❤ so happy you took the time you needed to enter this new chapter in your life. I truly missed your videos! So comforting. My favorite creator to just feel peace and happiness!

[@rosemariemacdonald6324]

So beautiful, you're so strong mama! This gives me so much hope for a "redemption" birth, my first was traumatic and I love watching these positive birth stories to remind myself it can be beautiful ❤️

[@michellereedg]

praying you have the birth you desire! 🤍

[@annagastelum918]

The drive was the worst! That’s when I felt the most contraction/cramping and of course with each one I was leaking. Thank you for sharing this!! ❤❤ Connor is precious!

[@shintalaw4514]

I’m crying 😭 This is so amazing and full of love 🥰🥹 Once again congratulations to you Michelle 🥰

[@michellereedg]

thank you so much ❤

[@amelied.9583]

Congratulations, Michelle! It's a beautiful story. I would love to see the vlog from November!

[@shaidanielle5]

Never clicked on a video so fast! So happy for you & your healthy baby boy, thank you for sharing this with us. You’re doing amazing! ❤️

[@BethMJones]

Beautiful story. So cute about Cash there with you. So glad your hubby & everyone gave you such support. Congrats! ❤

[@allysonchampagne8313]

If you haven’t done so please nominate your nurses for a daisy award! As a labor and delivery nurse myself, it’s a reminder to us of how rewarding our job is. ❤️

[@Sarah-psalm127]

Great idea, my last nurse when I gave birth was just amazing, wish I'd known about this!

[@ohitsMB]

Oh, Michelle! This is just the sweetest. Congratulations! Connor's birth reminds me of my first. Water breaking and spending a long time pushing. Way to go, mama! I had my second on the 16th of November so it was fun to be pregnant following along side (video wise lol) you. I hope you are doing so well and enjoying every second. I remember how sacred and special those days were with just one. Cherish every minute, but also know that it's okay to be sad and frustrated still sometimes. And to sometimes grieve your life and the ease of things before baby. Those are totally normal things that I wish someone had told me. The dishes will get clean, the laundry will get done. Don't stress over them now. Hold your sweet boy and enjoy it all! Congratulations again! And thank you for sharing this beautiful experience and transition into motherhood with us!

[@carlabuda3755]

So happy that you and Conor are ok and thriving! Missed you so much but so happy that you took the time you needed. Thanks for sharing your story with us🙂

[@seashellsbytheseashore7165]

What an angel boy🤍 God is so good!! Thank you for sharing this beautiful chapter Michelle.

[@jennyt3142]

What a special time...trust me you'll never forget. My baby of four is now 20 and hearing you, it all comes rushing back. God is great! Bless you 3❤ 4 with Cash..what a sweet boy watching over you❤

[@BLawsonnn]

Michelle, it is so great to have you back! Congratulations on you and Aidan’s beautiful baby boy! Thank you for sharing your beautiful and intimate birth story with us. I can’t wait to see how you grow and transform into motherhood! 🌸💕

[@baileysbest5905]

Michelle, you are amazing! Wow. So inspiring. I have never been able to get through a birth story without crying and yours was no different. Thank you for sharing such a personal piece of yours and your families lives.

[@michellegianna4914]

I had almost the EXACT birth story as you! Listening to you talk about it reminded me so much of my own that I experienced just in July of 2023. And like you, physically I recovered pretty quickly, but the mental part was a struggle. So I’d love to hear what you have to say about that. Congratulations on your little beautiful boy, Connor ❤

[@michellegianna4914]

By the way, I do think the dates and red raspberry leaf tea helped!

[@annanicoleeb]

I’ve been following you for 5+ years now and watching this is so beautiful. I am so proud of you and so happy for you Michelle 🤍 What a beautiful family you have created! Praying for you always and congratulations on your bundle of joy 🤍

[@annanicoleeb]

Also thank you for sharing your beautiful story with us all 🩵

Oh my word… I’m 36/37 weeks and the hormones are hitting me hard watching your video. This was super helpful and I can’t wait to meet my baby boy and welcome him with my husband.

[@AshleyConvey402]

My baby turned 1 in January and this brings me back to when I had him! I miss him being so tiny but every stage is so fun and different. Your son is absolutely precious! You are strong and you got this! Sending you so much encouragement and warm wishes. ❤

[@DiariesofExistence]

This video 🥹🥹🥲🥲 I waited a few days to watch it, and just be calm and ready.. (still cried through it, happy tears for you and your beautiful little family) Best wishes for you, you’re such a wonderful mom! 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

[@alyssashoults537]

[@emilywelsh5359]

Thank you so much for sharing with us! What an encouraging story - I’m so impressed you weren’t medicated! And so thankful you didn’t tear, I prayed specifically for that because I’ve heard it can be so terrible. Praise God for your sweet baby boy! ☺️

[@dreamingoftravel_Danielle]

[@wanderwhereyouwill]

Michelle I just found your channel, I’m 34 weeks pregnant with my first baby and I’m home sick from work. Have watched a few of your videos and I actually may be obsessed with you now - then came to this video… 10 November is my birthday as well! How special is that 💕

[@aly7409]

Congratulations Michelle! Thank you for sharing this precious journey with us ❤

[@jessssalemme]

Getting emotional watching this. My babe is due this month and I am excited and nervous for this experience. I really hope I go into labor spontaneously as well, that’s my biggest thing ❤❤

[@chrissiedcohen]

Thank you for sharing this, it made me reflect fondly on the birth of my daughter in 2003, an experience that I am grateful for. I’d also like to add that as an agnostic the way that you share your spirituality is encouraging.

[@stephaniewilson1479]

[@dianamedley3456]

I just started watching your videos during your pregnancy… and it was so beautiful to hear how you welcomed Connor into the world! Congrats and thanks for sharing!

[@randomleeza3978]

Cash is the cutest. Never abandon your dog even if your son hit him and he bites him back, treat him with love, care and kindness. Just for the future, Be with him in the same room when he crosses the rainbow bc he was there for you, be there for him, he loves you guys so much. Dogs are amazing ❤

[@thetitaniumwoman5561]

I’ve seen many people make the decision when this happens..
