[@norejczel]

31 weeks here - same! 🌠

[@sgrundyuk]

I read the Faith In Me Collection of inspirational birth stories as well as Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth. Both made me excited and not fearful. My labour was under 2 hours and I had no pain medication, I just used hypnobirthing breathing. Childbirth is empowering and amazing and doesn’t have to be painful or fear inducing.

[@jacquelinemogere8166]

Same here! 😊

[@NicoleCanFlyy93]

You absolutely can do this! It's incredible what your body can do, seriously x

[@lauraa.3610]

[@annafremantle201]

Ive never heard a birth story like this! Your attitude and perspective is incredible and so inspiring

[@brooke9632]

Anna Fremantle isn’t it! I haven’t had a baby but it kind of makes me excited to!

[@CarolineHirons]

Oh god I was sitting there all quietly having a weep and then Ava called asking me for more money and I was brought right back to Earth. Congratulations you three. What a joy. ♥️♥️♥️

[@maymower5486]

This made me CRY- its so incredible what women can do and hear your own story and how positive you were about it. As someone who is far away from motherhood (age-wise) looking into the future it is so reassuring and inspiring to acknowledge those moments, congrats again to you both ❤️

[@katharinatheresabond2478]

Laughed out loud when you spoke about you bouncing on your ball with headphones in and sleep mask on 😁🥰 I love that you did that #youdoyou 😍

[@agnieszkaluty2418]

I’m not even close to planning to have a baby, but loved this video nevertheless! You look so happy (and also absolutely gorgeous, glowing and beautiful)! Love from Poland xxx

[@xoIvon]

Agnieszka Luty yes!! I was just thinking how beautiful she looks!

[@Bigbirdflashladybug]

Literally nearly cried when you said about your mum saying “it’s time to meet your baby!” Emosh! She’s beautiful and you’ve both fitted into parenthood amazingly. Your labour sounds similar to my sons. He kept popping back up too! Luckily he wasn’t back to back so I just pushed with all my might and he finally came out but I love how even though you obviously didn’t plan a c-section you turned it into a positive 💗

[@nicholamecrow4615]

I have missed you Lily! Rich sobbing with baby Grey gave me all the feels... I had a little tear up!! I loved watching this 🥰 😘

[@ceri_noyce]

What a great video. I didn’t get through it without 😢 especially when you said you spoke to her & she knew your voice ❤️ xx

[@lilypebbles]

Ceri it was the most insane moment. I hope I never forget it! x

[@annabelgrace9229]

Congratulations Lily! And welcome to the world baby Grey! 💕

[@martaruizlepoittevin5382]

OMG! I've dropped a tear when you described Rich having skin-to-skin with baby Grey. So cute!

[@annedemerre]

When you said hello to your baby and she stopped crying and looked around because she could recognize your voice, oh my heart♥️😭♥️♥️

[@t.a.c.2119]

Lily, so much applaud to you and Rich for learning who Grey is and already respecting her needs as a person! As a mom of two (older children now), I can say that this alone will aid greatly in your relationship as she grows up. Keep up the excellent work of raising a human being. It truly is the most difficult job and you are off to an outstanding job!

[@melatiao]

I’ve done a lot of c-section (I’m an operating room technician) and I cry pretty much every time 😅 It’s such a beautiful moment, you see women go from crying of pain to crying of happiness ❤️ I’m so happy for you 🥰

[@kristenm5196]

Loved this! Your honesty and openness throughout your pregnancy, birth, and first weeks as a mom are so incredibly refreshing and helpful. Thank you for empowering other women to not only advocate for themselves and their preferences, but also letting them know that it’s okay if your birth doesn’t go according to plan.

[@margaretmerrick2747]

Women, you are a champ! You put a wonderful spin on labor and delivery. I will be having my second daughter in October. Praying that my second labor and delivery goes better then my first!

[@kymcoote4493]

Congratulations to the three of you my daughter was born on the 15th may 33 years ago and the magic day will be with me alway! She is now a mum 💕❤️😊🇦🇺

[@gracek.2251]

Just over here crying over Rich's skin to skin and your mom being so supportive. And again over Grey recognizing your voice!

[@jodiefullagar]

I have watched, and enjoyed, your channel for quite a long time and never commented. I'm 48. It feels weird to comment. But I loved watching your birth story. So joyful. A beautiful family. X

[@FayeS173]

Wow you are a great story teller! I never knew listening to a birth story could interest me so much. Especially because I don’t see myself giving birth for the next 7-8 years. But I laughed, teared up and enjoyed the whole video. I am so happy for you guys!

[@malgof2576]

such a beautiful video Lily, loved watching it. I'm a baby doctor (neonatologist) and watching babies being born will never be boring for me. such a miracle. I teared up when you said she recognised your voice, such a beautiful bond between mother and child even before they're born. all the best for you and your family. xx

[@beeh7946]

Oh bloody hell, I'm not crying, you're crying!! It's so incredibly heartwarming to see how close you and Rich are and how much respect you have for each other after this experience. What a team!! Xx

[@vitalina2984]

Rich: “Can we dim the lights?” Doctor: “No, I need to see what I’m doing” 😂

[@fionafrazer8820]

I'm am 42. years away from having a baby, but can't help but think how much nicer an experience it would have been to have a birth partner. I was pretty much terrified, and as I had waited until the last second (actually didn't realize I was so far along in labor!) I made it to the hospital, was prepped, and had my son 20 mins later! My husband was there in the hospital, but at that time, they didn't let them in the birthing room. I didn't have family nearby (or even on the same continent), so I am so happy for you that this experience, despite the time and effort you put in, was such a meaningful one. Kudos to Rich - men are so much more involved these days. Beautiful story, and gorgeous baby!

[@deedeed.6530]

Loved the video. I'm 54 and had my son 26 years ago (27 in December) i had a similar experience, labor for 24 hours then c-section. I am so disappointed that skin-to-skin wasn't a thing then. After surgery I didn't see him for 12 hours. They knocked me out for recovery. I wish i had had that time with him. But thanks for all the real talk. I can imagine how helpful it is for others. You are a beautiful family. Congrats !

[@jessicat9198]

Totally agree that feeding is so much harder than the birth!! To anyone going through feeding woes, you can do it! It gets better after 8 weeks honestly! 💪

[@surlespasdondine]

Oh no labour was so much worse for me.

[@stellapeterson7970]

Lily you are incredible! i'm 19 and yearsssss away from all of this but your story and the way you've told it is overwhelmingly positive. I couldn't stop smiling. Congrats! Couldn't be happier for you and Rich x

[@laweesesmyth6557]

I cried! Cried for this beautiful story, cried that it’s a new video from you and cried because you and Rich are amazing parents! Congratulations!!

[@CheersAshleyMarie]

Oh god, hearing you talk about Rich doing skin to skin brought tears to my eyes! How beautiful! Thanks for sharing your story

[@helloheavenleigh278]

Love your story-mine is kind of similar. I pushed for 17 hours total, the last 4 of which were “coached” so pushing as hard as I could. About 12 hours before he was born, I reached down and felt his head. He also was in a bad position and got stuck like yours. I’m so glad I was at a birthing center, because eventually he did come out, no meds or anything…had to try tons of positions and all that and eventually it worked! Had I been at a hospital of course they would have c sectioned me. You did a great job resisting for so long ❤

[@mariellafigueredo6006]

Definetely Cried a couple of times, but as you talked the whole video the only thing I was thinking was that you are such an upright, honest and caring woman. Your love for others seems so real and deep. So nice to watch sincere people on the internet. Take care of you and your family, and also you look great (in your stories without make up too). Love from Uruguay.

[@duckpondwithoutducks]

I didn't think I was going to cry watching the video, but when it got to the part where she recognized your voice, I cried!

[@rocame100]

It's mad how much this is like Mr. Kate's experience, so close in time as well :)💜 congrats on your baby

[@Ebeez504]

I’m crying and have been transported back to my own birth! How magical. And I loved when you shared about Rich crying and when Grey opened her eyes wide when she heard your voice!

[@inescerejo834]

THANK YOU! I recognized my own birthstory, my Stella was born 16th June three years ago. You made me cry! And your feeding struggles are so real, I decided not to blame myself nor allow others to blame me. There is nothing wrong with bottle feeding, what matters is a full baby stomach, happy baby happy mommy. SENDING LOTS OF LOVE!

[@emmahuntington8756]

I am 26 weeks pregnant with twins (our miracles) and you have just made me feel like however they arrive I can do this!! Thank you for sharing your journey...safe to say the tears are rolling. Grey is just precious xx

[@MissEssTee]

Love this! I just gave birth via c-section in July 9 after planning to hypnobirth without intervention, but baby was breech and had other plans. I too had a positive experience! When you said feeding a baby is harder than labor I wanted to cheer and hug you. I’ve never related to a statement more. Lots of love to your sweet family during this special time. Hoping the newborn snuggles help cancel out the sore nipples and sleepless nights. 💛

[@romy7976]

I smiled the whole way through watching this! Thank you for sharing - I’ve had 2 miscarriages recently but hoping for a successful 3rd try and you’ve made me mega excited and positive x

[@tezzapoo]

I'm doctor training in OBGYN in Australia and it's so great to hear it from your side of things! I think it's so important for women having babies to keep an open mind!!! It's obviously great to have an idea of how your ideal birth plays out, but no-one can EVER predict what might happen. And at the end of the day, we ALL (mums, families, doctors, midwives) want the same outcome - healthy mum and health baby.

[@tamardolev]

Literally crying with excitement for you 3! Thank you so much for sharing this all with us. I am years away from becoming a mum, but no doubt this is inspiring. You ARE a superwoman! And little Grey just looking right at the camera at the end.. what a star!

[@emmaociee]

I'm so excited for this video, because I know it's going to be realistic. Not glamorous , but not worse-case-scenario. Lily, you are such a motivation to be real and authentic when every social media site is telling us to perfect ourselves! I know we don't know each other, but you're one of the only people I still watch on YT because of how personable you've become over the years.

[@SamK94]

I got so much more emotional watching this video then I thought I would! Loved your birthing story and how honest you were about everything! Excited for the hospital bag video!

[@violadellisanti619]

I am not close to pregnancy but I have always been very scared about the all thing (as you said you were). It is so inspiring to hear your story, from "I was scared" to "I did that and everyone was so proud of me", it makes you understand that you can find your strength by doing things step by step, reading and preparing yourself (even if it never goes as expected). I also love the way you use to tell your story, not by saying "you should do that, you should do the same as me" but talking about pros and cons and telling us even the worst things, that are part of the reality too. Wish you all the best, thanks for sharing😘😘😘

[@klm84]

Yours is the first ever birth story I’ve watched where I’ve not felt scared and anxious. I hope that my outlook when giving birth is exactly the same as yours

[@catherinepattersonmcelroy8336]

I am in complete awe of your plan and perspective. I have so much respect to you and all mothers. I would love to hear how motherhood is different/similar to what you expected and how you view your own mother differently now. Children are in our 5 year plan so I'm grateful for all the information.

[@lisah2109]

Well done Lily! An honest, realistic and practical account of your delivery. What a lovely video to have for her when she’s older. Enjoy every precious moment (even the tough ones) they are little miracles.x

[@LondonFan2010]

That was the nicest birthing story I’ve ever heard. And it’s not because it went smoothly but because of your whole view on it. It’s so nice that you were able to stay positive throughout the whole thing and calling everyone who gave birth a superwoman and not criticizing weather or not it was a drug free natural birth is amazing 😊

[@kimberleyh9096]

I had my second baby 30 years ago felt exactly the same safer in hospital had caesarean with first son no labour so hadn't known what to expect. Had pethidine and it was horrible. Just two weeks approx and I'm going to be a nanny for the first time can't wait for my granddaughter. Thanks Lily and Rich for such a positive birth story Grey is wonderful ❤️💕

[@patriciad.7309]

Hi Lily, you did wonderfully well, thanks for sharing your story. You took me back 25 and 23 years when I had my boys - the first one was a cesarean (he flipped over at the last minute) and the second was a 'normal' birth. I do wish that I had made more notes at the time, you are very lucky that you can document it in this way - she will love watching these videos when she is older.

[@Schiuppetto]

Is it normal that I literally cried just hearing your story??? I’m not even pregnant or planning to have a baby soon! It’s just that I ‘ve been following you for so many years that now seeing you going through this new adventure makes me so proud of you like “look Lily is a grown up mommy now”! 😂😍 lots of love ❤️

[@clarifyk5967]

Wonderful story- I had some tears when you mentioned your Mom saying it was time to meet your baby. Giving birth either way is truly an empowering experience. Besides my wedding day, the days I had my babies were the best days of my life!!

[@Sam-du5oe]

Please make more mummy type videos! I love your positive approach; many people would be very upset and negative about the complications you had. I’d love to hear about your experiences with feeding as well, it’s something nobody talks about enough but there’s such a stigma especially if you end up needing formula.

[@maureyberdoy428]

I never had children but I loved hearing about your birth story because I have been following you for years. I have to tell you that every time you spoke about Rich and how wonderful he was I got really tearful. You obviously have such a deep love and respect for him as well as a very strong partnership. That will certainly come in handy during all the twists and turns that parenting brings. Best wishes to you and your family and thank you for sharing this. I have been thinking about you and wondering how you were getting on with your new baby xxx

[@emde7062]

Had my baby 12 days ago and I'm so happy I can hear about your experience as I go through my own. Your positivity and realness make my feel less alone.

[@christinemle]

I'm not a mom nor expecting to be one anytime soon, but I have been an aunt for quite some time and one of my closest friends recently announced she's expecting, so I've been loving hearing your pregnancy/delivery/motherhood stories (on IG, too); you have been so raw and real, and I feel whenever it IS my turn, I'd go back to watch your videos. Totally got me emotional when you talked about your and Rich's experiences meeting Baby Grey for the first time, so sweet. Keep doing YOU, Lily!

[@VideoPrettyBrilliant]

Ahw! Your mum telling you: "I think you should do what the doctors are telling you. It's time to meet your baby" makes me all teary eyed. ❤️ What a wonderful story. You're just beaming with happiness and look "complete" with little Grey in your arms.

[@lucymurray2898]

I have chills watching this. What a beautiful story, you and Rich so be so proud of yourselves. Welcome to the world Baby Grey xx

[@kirstenrubberducky]

I legit got emotional when you described your mum saying 'it's time to meet your baby'. I think I'm partly gonna blame the PMS, but also it's just lovely. Your journey has been such a wonderful one and I wish you, Rich and Gray a lifetime of happiness. xx

[@lucyjane4188]

I felt every emotion from this video! It’s amazing to see you embracing motherhood in the most natural way

[@kitty6720]

Lily, so glad you are back!!! And what a beautiful story, and Rich crying is so touching. The end result is a beautiful little girl. I think she's likely to keep those beautiful blue eyes, as she does look a lot like Rich. When I was born I had blue eyes too (my mom was hoping I'd keep them too), but less than two months into my existence, they turned into dark brown (not even green, as my dad's). So, Grey is likely to remain a beautiful girl with beautiful blue eyes.

[@lpsplash122]

I have been one of your susbribers for so long but I am so so happy to see you so happy. Grey is such a cute little baby.

[@racheltupper6479]

Proper welled up when you said Rich cried. This is a great video. I'm not pregnant not planning to be any time soon, but this is so positive. Thank you.

[@shaukatsaamah]

Oh my goodness how I’ve missed your videos !!! I’ve realized how much I enjoy your vids whilst you’ve been gone . My KZbin feed has been so dry , so happy to have you back !!

[@FoodieForce]

Congratulations to you both, having a baby is miraculous. Labour is life changing, our son was 42+2 induced and 36 hour labour. Although I didn’t have the birth I wanted, Hypo birthing made the experience perfect. Well done on working as a great team. Breastfeeding is hard but with support could be made easier. When you feel your most vulnerable the support disappears to help you learn to feed x

[@charlottehardesty4934]

Lily you’re amazing!!!! What a birth story! It’s made me cry and remember my 3 births so vividly. Also, rich will never stop crying now - my husband cries at everything since we had our 1st 6 years ago and NEVER cried before that! Grey is bloody adorable too. Xxx

[@doranjen12]

Thank you so much for this video. I’m pregnant and have been feeling pretty scared about the birth. But the way you describe it is so encouraging but honest at the same time. It’s given me so much reassurance. And your daughter is beautiful and super cute! Rich sounds like a legend too.

[@d26s10]

Amazing, you did so well. What an inspiring story. I can’t help but wonder what happened to the mothers and babies thousands of years ago when the baby was back to back?! We are so lucky that we have the luxury of surrendering to whatever the baby does and the medical professionals can step in with the necessary action for a safe delivery. Congratulations and thank you for showing so much realism, as always, Lily.

[@BaileyLovesMangos]

Congratulations to you and Rich on the birth of your beautiful daughter! Not sure if you read all the comments...so happy it all went well and your Mom was there too.

[@EmilySalt]

When you said about your mum saying “it’s time to meet your baby” I cried 😭❤️ So happy you had a good experience and little Grey is so cute ❤️

[@amyleigh1215]

Ahhh! I’m 21 weeks pregnant and this has made me feel so much better about everything to come! So refreshing, really missed you! So happy for you xxx

[@Clari2612]

Oh Lily, my birth story is so similar to yours 🥰 except how you managed to get through hours upon hours of labour with no medication and a posterior baby is beyond me! 🤯 you’re amazing! I had the exact same feeling where I just needed to push but my body felt like it was completely out of my control and I couldn’t NOT push - the midwives, however, didn’t want me to push. The doctors prepped me for theatre in case it turned into an emergency c section however they managed to manually turn her and deliver by forceps. My husband and I also did a hypnobirthing course, however bubba was 3 weeks early so we only attended half the course before she was born 😆 My waters did break like in the movies and water gushed all over our floor and kept coming! Despite that I got sent home after an examination because of a poor decision by a midwife but that’s another story. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I’m so glad you aren’t traumatised and congratulations to you and Rich 🥳😍🙏💓

[@NinaLovesSnoozing]

I cried almost through the entire video. It reminded me SO much of my own labour story. ALL the emotions. Congrats once more ;-)

[@saraab4411]

I’m so proud of you and so happy for you and Rich. Watching your whole pregnancy journey from start to finish has been so interesting and wonderful and beautiful. Thank you for sharing something so personal with us. Grey sounds so sweet and adorable and I’m glad your labour experience was so positive. You are a super woman and I’m glad the whole experience made you feel like one. You did something truly amazing. Sending lots of love to you all.

Cried several times through this video. Didn’t anticipate that haha. You and Rich are a absolute superheros and Grey is so so gorgeous ❤️

[@katiegillettartist]

Oh my gosh. Got all teary when you said she recognised your voice! Well done you guys. Congratulations again to you & family. Amazing what our bodies can do!!

[@92BCM]

Girl! You made me cry!! I had a baby and I know what you go through so...good job, to the both of you! Enjoy your little bundle of joy 🧡

[@DiaryofaGreekMum]

The more I watched the more teary I was getting, and that's because I had an incredibly similar experience to you. I gave birth on Valentine's Day and my little girl was coming back to back too, so I know how intense the pain can be and how you feel the urge to push from a very early stage. I was fortunate enough to have a midwife who realised she was coming back to back and they did all the tricks in the book to get her to turn before it was time to push. I also had diamorphine (same thing to pethidine) on my thigh and it helped me dilate from 3 to 9.5 in 3 hours! The great thing is that it got me so drugged that I slept through the pain and when I was awake I was ready to push! And I was put on the hormonal drip as well to help intensify the contractions but like you, the doctor came in, examined me and said that I had 10mins to have this baby, because she had just had a poop and if she wasn't out soon then I was going in theatre for forceps first or a C section. The only big difference to you is that my doctor gave me marching orders and asked me to have an episiotomy because the little one was stuck and they needed some space to pull her out, so after 4 very long pushes I was holding her in my arms! It was proper emotional seeing you describing all that, I know we don't know each other but it feels surreal how similar our experience was and how much closer to you I feel, like you're a friend I've known for years. Anyway, thank you so much for sharing all this and take your time to enjoy all the moments of motherhood! ❤❤❤

[@lvaa3744]

every time I hear a long and difficult labour / not coming out story - I assume the baby is back to back *and here you go. My first one was back to back - the worst pain was not the 24 hours labour but his head pushing on my tailbone (OMG....) finally he wasn't able to get his head around my pelvis and got stuck because of the wrong location, so it was a c-section. they didn't realise he was back to back until he looked up at them during the section. they really had to pull out of my pelvis, it was crazy. I ended up having 5 sections because the second was in distress (cord ended up fully wrapped around her neck) and then you can only have sections for any additional baby. congrats, your baby is so beautiful :)

[@alinenanete]

OMG! I literally cried when you were holding her in your arms, and so you can see how magical nature is, also how strong we are. I've missed you, thank you so much for sharing your story with us, your point of view from life is definitely a game changing for me. May God bless your family! And welcome to the little Grey, Taurus are the best! 💙♉

[@sophieslittlelife6047]

I loved this so much! So real didn't sugar coat anything like some people usually do! I am 20 weeks pregnant and I've re watched all of your pregnancy videos and honestly I think you have been the most helpful! My partner watched this one with me and he said Rich has really inspired him! I will definitely be getting the digital download for the positive birthing. Thankyou Lily! Xx

[@DonnaBorooah]

Lily!!!!! I’m so proud of you! This was the sweetest story. To hear how you talk about Rich and The little one is such a wave of love. Happy for you and your family 💗

[@babulaciq]

You are a bad ass woman Lily! Congratulations again 😃👏🏻

[@kellyh3295]

I flipping love your mum content, so much is #relatable. great great birth story - im in awe. I did the digital pack and was so so psyched for a dreamy water birth but had a heavy bleed at 36 weeks and ended up having a section - I was so disappointed to not experience what labour was like, but in hindsight what the course taught me was SO valuable, I managed to stay so chill throughout and was confident to make choices like gentle c section and also had curtain down when his head was emerging (that was a bit much if im honest, very very odd) - my hubs was in awe of how calm I was through some scary bits. I really felt like a train had hit me after that, not a good ward or feeding or recovery experience - I cant even imagine all of that on top of actually labouring to ten centimeters - you are a superwoman! You guys are such great parents, motherhood suits you better than any glowy foundation! xxxxx
