My Home Birth (vbac) Delivery // drug free

[@AmenaandElias]

Something you said really resonated with me - I’ve never had kids but I want to but I always had that fear because I know for a fact I’m not a physically strong person and giving birth sounds like the scariest thing ever. But hearing you say that you don’t consider yourself strong but you still did it is AMAZING! Thank you for your story.

[@Lafilledlapluie]

me too. it sounds soooo terrible but I'll take her word for it

[@feefees9796]

Amena Teferi Exactly me to. I'm 32 years old. Been scared. But this helps. This is her second baby I think

[@honeywest39j95]

Amena Teferi It is scary...but my mom prayed over my stomach right before delivery, and everything went fine. Just make sure to stay active and you will be fine.😊

[@angelaanaconda55]

me too I'm 27 and hope to have a baby before 30... but I'm petrified.

[@amberjays4753]

Giving birth is the hardest job ever it’s painful it’s exhausting but once that baby is out you that pain disappears and your heart is filled with a joy and love that’s unexplainable. Then the fun part begins watch those b cups turn to double dds. First time in my life I ever had big round perky tits. I was in awe. Couldn’t stop looking in the mirror 😂

[@holisticmaya]

Manny is incredibly sweet the way he's filming and speaking directly to Alma. I found that so darn sweet.

[@arieswinters5754]

Firstly congratulations!!!! Secondly girl what do you mean you're not a strong person? Girl...! How dare you say that about yourself when you've transformed your entire life to be healthier and more fulfilling for yourself and your family? Most of us barely have the discipline to eat healthy for a week and here you are having transformed your entire lifestyle and inspiring thousands to do the same. You put in tons of hours, research, money, effort, passion etc. You're the strongest KZbin mom I know☺

[@dariojlopez]

Wow am I the only One who thinks this Video is the most beautiful thing in its entirety

[@Shortcake39553]

That horrible, burning pain you felt during crowning is called( the ring of FIRE) it scared me so bad, that I actually resisted pushing. I tore as well because I was so scared of pain that I decided to get it over with and pushed as hard as I could. Thanks for sharing your experience. I cried! Manny is awesome!

[@AnnRey18]

"I just kept thinking like man, this little girl better be amazing" 😂💝 ¡Congratulations, Alba and Manny!

[@comesitunderthetrees]

I am so proud, amazed and happy for you and Manny! I have been waiting for this video, stalking IG and YT. As always you are insightful, honest and a ball of love. Thank you so much for sharing. Manny had me lmbo. "You decide to come after 1am, that's why you're getting a curfew", 😂... love you guys, love and many blessings ❤️

[@ashleysovilla2037]

Wow! Thank you for sharing your story! This is so similar to my current experience. I had a C-section with my son. 8 Years later, I'm 26 months pregnant with my daughter and am planning a VBAC homebirth. Thanks for talking about all the different aspects!

[@veliciahiley7652]

Congratulations Alba. You seem so much lighter ( personality) . 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. Beautiful birth story. 😊😊

[@jacquelinetheanicole]

DreamAngel123 PFW Agreed! It's actually refreshing to see. ❤

[@queenlex4138]

Very true

[@TheRiceLife]

Congratulations! We had our first in a hospital, our 2nd and 3rd in a birthing center and our 4th at home. Our transition to the home was such an organic progression and I’m so glad we chose home birth. It was so gentle and peaceful. I’m so glad you had a dream birth 💕

[@Tori.S.]

I can’t speak for all hospitals but with my first daughter I delivered at the hospital but with a midwife and my fiancé was encouraged/welcomed to be heavily involved by my midwife and nurses . We assumed he would kind of just be sitting around but it was the exact opposite . He held my leg as I was pushing as well and even got to do skin to skin with her as well while I was cleaning off and using the restroom . I guess it just depends on the hospital and the doctor or midwife . Congrats on a successful homebirth and VBAC . Baby Alma is gorgeous 💕

[@MarziaMarzia]

Same here!! I thought my husband would be off in the corner but as soon as I was ready to push my doc was like “grab a leg” to my husband and he was there for the whole thing. He said it was amazing!

[@ShawntasWay]

I love this so much! Esp you all not cutting the cord immediately. The angels and God were with you all! Beautiful story ❤️

[@NBean90]

You are so amazing Alba. You are such a strong woman. Giving a natural birth and all of these old skool remedies are amazing. I'm so in awe at how beautiful this process is. Much blessings to you and baby Alma!

[@janaie3528]

Nia A agreed. She is an amazing mother and person!! 💕

[@cianajames55]

Thank you for sharing! My birth story is very similar to yours. I wish I had mine at home but I was fortunate to give birth at a birthing center. I had so much support from my midwife, nurse assistants, my sister, my SO and his family. I understand what you mean about not feeling you were strong. I felt the same way. Right before I gave birth, I wanted to give up so bad. I really thought I was going to have a c-section because it took my daughter a really look time to come out. I believe God felt my feelings of despair and little did I know I felt my daughter head push through on its own. Anyway, congrats to you, your family on the new addition!

[@123SmithJamie]

Hey Alba, congratulations!!! Times have definitely changed for the better. I am a nursing student and I did clinicals in a labor and delivery unit. They give both the mother and the father the option to do skin to skin and the doctor and nurses even push it because it's so good for the baby.

[@Perrypartyof5]

Her voice is so serene lol soon as the video started I felt relaxed

[@angel141108jk]

This is so amazing and so inspiring... My first birth was so horrible, it was me living my worst nightmare for three months and feeling suicidal because my hospital birth was so horrible each day for ten days that I was there! And it makes me feel sad because my pregnancy was so perfect that I thought that's how it was going to be until I give birth! Now that we are planning to have a second baby, I'm petrified to be back at the hospital, I'm petrified to be treated like the first time so now watching this videos I have gathered some information that I would explore a bit more and talk to my doctor about it because I definitely want a peaceful birth this time. Thank you for your video! Xxxx

[@LifeofDayy]

Karen Rodriguez I’m so sorry for your experience. I just want to hug you! Wishing you the birth of your dreams next time. ❤️

[@angel141108jk]

Life of Dayy Thank you , I hope I do xxxxx

[@aliceheeley3112]

This is so inspiring to me, I am due my baby boy in August. I live in England and I’m unable to have a home birth so will be in the hospital, but here I am so lucky the hospital has a new labour / delivery ward which each room is able to be as relaxing, so homely and peaceful than the American hospital I see online/TV. Your birth story has reminded me that my body is made to birth this baby, to get my boy into this world completely naturally and totally calm. Thank you Alma, even your voice is calming!

[@Thejasminecomplex]

YES! ALBA YOU STRRRROOOONG WOMAN! I am always in complete awe of you 😍❤️🙌🏽 a real inspiration for me. Also, shout outs to Manny for always being that rock for you! & congratulations little Manny! You’re officially a big brother! The job of the older sibling will fall naturally for you sweet boy ❤️❤️

[@christinach3849]

I completely agree with the whole vulnerability feeling when giving birth at the hospital. When I found out that I was pregnant with my son I so desperately wanted a home birth, but unfortunately I was unable to have that. When we arrived at the hospital and my contractions started getting worse I kept getting asked if I wanted medication and an epidural. I gave in. I was vulnerable. It was what it was and he is now a happy crazy two year old! Watching your labor/delivery story has made me want a home and medication free birth even more! Thank you for sharing your story! Congratulations to you and your beautiful family!

[@yayadrew]

Superwoman. Alba you seem so peaceful. Congrats guys.

[@janaie3528]

yayadrew yes she does 😍💕✨

[@Stephaniealicianaturalhair]

She is Superwoman and superwoman birth!

[@aureliehervault3312]

I almost cried! This is such a sincere and moving video! Love it! Well done Alba. If I get pregnant I’ve always wanted to give birth in water with the father behind me and as naturally as possible so you’ve given me even more tips for when the time comes. Thank you for sharing this very private part of you life with us 😘

[@CarlyCristman]

this was so amazing to watch!! Congratulations beautiful!!!

[@jennifermejia8193]

Alba ! Girl you are sooooooo STRONG the simple fact that you live this healthy lifestyle and a very strict organic lifestyle at that, that’s self control that’s strength! That’s the strength God has given you ! I applaud you ! You are so beautiful and the way you speak is filled with so much grace and elegance ! Your such an inspiration . God bless you and your family !!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️😍😍😍😍

[@ZaniahSlayed]

Wow I’m not even half way through the video yet and I’m crying 😭 congratulations Alba, Manny, and Little Manny on your new family addition. I’m so so so happy for y’all I don’t even know what to say but congratulations!!! 🎉🎊 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

[@DandyLioness83]

I think it's so wonderful that you had a positive, successful home birth and took this very natural process into your own hands and did it the natural way! Congratulations to you both, God bless your family!

[@AshleyChristina101]

Congratulations on your VBAC! My experience with my delivery I can honestly that my care in the hospital was amazing family members were very hands on. The doctors were very patient and caring they didn’t treat me as sick patient which was good. I wasn’t pressured into doing anything I felt wasn’t right by the doctors. My only regret is taking the epidural. I totally agree with you on that because when you’re in the moment and the pain is hard to deal with you’re vulnerable to say yes even if you know deep down you don’t want to do it. But I’m so happy that you’re home birth went amazing because if you didn’t consider yourself to be very strong before you’re a warrior now because it’s hard going through that pain.

Congratulations! It’s such a relief having a birthing plan and following through with it. What a beautiful story, and footage your daughter will get to enjoy when she’s older. I did have an all natural child birth as well, but in a hospital and I enjoyed my birth- minus all the pain of course.

Home birth is amazing!!! I wanted them for all 3 of my kids but because I was so young on my first, I didn’t know any better but I was determined to do it once and for all and when I had my 3rd baby I had her at home. It’s so true on how relaxing and calm it is...we had so much energy the next day because we weren’t bothered with every 2 hours like they do in the hospital where everything is so rushed...congrats on your home birth!!! Beautiful story!🤗💞

[@LESREID2]

My 4th birth with my son was a homebirth. I was 95% prepared(I had no plastic for the floor) bc he came at 36.2w, lol. My birthing pool wasn't at my house because they generally bring them after 37w. My labor started about 5:40a Monday. It really picked up that evening. My midwife came Tuesday morning and I was ready to push. My water broke while I was pushing--went everywhere. Plus my son had double nuchal hands(both up by his face instead of down by his sides) so I had to push his body out instead of it just sliding out easily. On the upside, I was over it and got his entire head out in one push, lmao. It was my best and most favorite birth bc I was just left alone!

[@jaysto7142]

I love this video 💟 I'm not a mum yet but I do love listening to you coz you're eco friendly too with the baby and not much people are like that so I really appreciate it ❤

Ive been following all your pregnancy vlogs because you have been the only youtuber that has inspired me to have such a healthy pregnancy Ive been dealing with such a harsh pregnancy I been going back and forth from the ER and really havent enjoyed my pregnancy but instead dreading it and I dont want to so when I watch your videos it gives me the mindset to keep Strong and keep going especially because I also feel like I am not a strong person physically and mentally which I dont like to admit but hearing you say that makes me feel better about my pregnancy thank you

[@h.o.y.o]

Our stories are so similar! I had a home birth after an 11 year gap! Born few weeks after Alma. A boy then a girl so one of each and feeling soooo blessed. First in hospital and hardly remember any of it which takes something away from the experience. Had gas and air and pethidine and I think that affected how I bonded with him, had PND. Second at home, not even gas and air. Still an intense experience and certainly not 'easy' but very different. Feel way more connected to her and really positive about the whole event! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Best wishes and lots of love xxx

U r amazing!!!! We need more humans like U!! May the Univers bless U and ur family!

[@spicygurl1000]

Thank you for sharing Alba I don't have kids but dream and pray of having a family one day and in the past few years of getting a better understanding & love of home births vs hospital births, midwives + Doulas just seeing how much different one another is all the way down to the energy of the way women share their stories. Home birthing/ water-birthing is also what I pray for when the time comes and your statement that you don't consider yourself a strong woman but not a weak women yet you still did it really hit home for me because I don't think I'll be able to do it even though but that gave me faith that God can will and has already given women +me everything needed to bring life into this world the way he intended so thank you for that 🖤

When you said that you didn't considered yourself as a strong person but you did it for your baby and all of that it really got the scare out of me. I really want to try this if i ever get to have a baby. I thank you so much for this video, I hope you keep being as happy and peaceful as you feeling right now. You deserve it after such an strong, beautiful and amazing decision. Love you❤

Congratulations on the baby girl she's gorgeous and all the best to you with her and your birthing team (aka your family ). The fact that you had a midwife and a doula you were ahead of the game that's definitely the best team to have while setting up a birthing plan.

[@kharyzma4u]

Congrats and thanks for sharing. Your story is inspiring. It's OK not to be "strong" in some ways. This is why you had a support system that helped you to all work as a team. I want to have a home birth as well. Congrats. Much love to you and your family.

[@suheilyramirez3796]

My baby girl was born on 3/13/2018! I feel a lot of hospitals are changing he way they do births. I had a midwife and the hospital staff was amazing. I laboured in the tub, totally natural birth, my husband, mom, mother in law, and my two older boys (age 8 and 2) were in the room with me. My husband never left my side and the nurses were all about whatever I wanted to do and however I felt comfortable! I had a great experience but like you I was at more informed this time around. For my first birth I felt taken advantage of and given an unnecessary episiotomy. This time I was able to do everthing I wanted, including no IV, skin to skin, delayed cord clamp, no eye ointment for baby, and breastfeed on demand! A home birth was my dream but just not doable for us. So glad you had a great experience!

[@DeziDoesIt]

[@auntierae6273]

So did u bleed a lot after? Do u take the baby to the hospital at all after birth? Asking becuz I wanna do a home birth. But I'm used to going to a hospital just to checkup every thing.

[@LifeofDayy]

TheyCallMe Auntee after the birth you just stay home, assuming there were no complications. You can make an appointment to see your pediatrician a few days after the birth just as you would with a hospital birth. Most homebirth midwives include postnatal care in their service fee. Typically they will visit your home to check on you an the baby 1 day, 1 week, and 4 weeks after the birth. I appreciated that so much after all 3 of my homebirths that I didn’t have to get the baby into the car to go to all these appointments (just the pediatrician a few days after) and I could just chill at my house with the baby from the very beginning. It was wonderful!

[@yohab5586]

I love you so much ! You go girl ! Thank you so much for sharing . Girl I was reliving your pain and my delivery pain.. lol..but at the end is all worth it! Thank you Lord! I have 4 kids and I was 20 when I had my first child - and at that time I wasn’t well educated on the giving birth process , I was induced just bc my doctor was there that night and I took the epidural ... ( didn’t like the experience) going forward with my other 3 kids- I delivered in a hospital but didn’t take any pain killer. I pushed naturally and at the end it’s much better and your body appreciates it and also your baby. What I wished I knew then was ( letting the umbilical cord to release the blood on its on) I read that now days if you ask in the hospital that they honor that. Also, I wish I could had saved my placenta. You covered everything, all important key points. Thank You Alba !! Bendiciones 😘

The hospitals here are not supportive of VBAC's sadly so I'm considering it. Your video was encouraging. I have a doula and they have connected me with midwives so 🙏🏾. Blessings to your family.
