I remember being ecstatic when my first child was born! I had survived pregnancy and delivery😊 and was enthralled with my little girl💕 The meaning of Mateo‘s name is so very special! He’s a little doll. I love the way you honor the Lord in your story!

[@ValerieKeim]

Thank you! 🥰🥰

[@mbaker8466]

So sweet Valerie! You'll be so happy you have all these details to look back on someday! As much as it might seem like you won't ever forget what you went through, after 17 years the details do become a little fuzzy!! 😩 I too went way overdue and was sure that my body didn't know how to go into labor!! 😂 Way to stick with it and make it through!! It's definitely a mind game!! Enjoy all the newborn snuggles!! 💙

[@ValerieKeim]

Thank you! Yeah I’m sure the memory will fade one day, which is kinda sad 🙈🥺

Congratulations again!! I was so excited when I saw tht you posted your birth story...I was really looking forward to hearing it! So thankful to God that you had a wonderful birth experience! 😊💙 My birth story was completely different then I thought it would be, but in the end my husband had so much to thankful to God for..... the way things to place even though it may have not been the way i wanted things to have gone!!! Really enjoyed meeting your precious baby! Praying tht your adjusting well and everything is going good for you guys!!🥰🙏

Oh I hope you feel as good as you look, thanks again for your video, and letting us meet your baby, take care and I would like to encourage you, to take as many videos and pictures as possible, there can come a day where you will appreciate all your pictures and videos,

Oh yes! My camera roll is already loaded! 😍😍

[@fredamiller3482]

Yes Valerie I went overdue with a few of my children & that forever pregnant thought went thru my mind too😂

[@ValerieKeim]

Haha 😂 so strange 😂

[@dorothyhorst2776]

So similar to my first pregnancy/ labor! I didn't need to be induced, but labour was quick and fairly painless until the last hour! And it was a boy as well!☺ Congrats!

Yeah it’s not fun to wait on them 😂 and yes I love listening to peoples birth stories!

[@theQiwiMan]

"What if I never have the baby?" 😂 I think it's the most normal thing in the world to question how long a trial will last while we're still there in the thick of it. Thank you for sharing this part of your life, God bless you and your beautiful family! ❤️

[@petro3441]

I wanna tell you this...my mother gave natural birth to all six of us. So a few days before i went in for labour she said to me....just do not scream and perform like the ladies on tv. Its not that bad and millions of others went through it before you and survived😉🤭so that was all i could think of while in labour.

[@ValerieKeim]

That’s great advice! And true! 😁

[@blessed4737]

i had 2 hospital births and 2 home births.home births r the best 4 me!and yes pitocin is the worst!birth is amazing and wonderful no matter how hard it is.10 mo ago i gave birth to a 9 lb 4 oz girl and it was my longest and most difficult labor bc she was so big .but mentally my best labor bc i was in a good place mentally.i found kneeling on the floor on leaning on the birth ball and rocking w the contractions reduced the pain it actually made me think of ocean waves:)

[@ValerieKeim]

Wow that’s awesome! Go you! 😍

[@ourblessedfamily6406]

Congratulations he is so cute

[@ValerieKeim]

Thank you! I think so too! 😉😍

[@linnsoltwedel]

Congrats! :D But I think guys should watch videos like this themselves. Its important they know whats going on if they are having children on day.

[@ValerieKeim]

True that! 😂😅

[@valeriereneeharper]

Beautiful how you said even if your birth story was different you know God would have been there the whole time. And how your labor started at dark and gave birth as the morning light came up. As Jesus came as the light into a world of darkness. Beautiful birth story, God be glorified ❤️

[@ValerieKeim]

Thank you so much ♥️

[@smileyrulesinthe818]

I just have to say i LOVE!!!! The name Mateo. How much did he weigh? I dont know if i missed that or you did not mention in vid.

[@ValerieKeim]

Haha I forgot to even mention it! He weighed 8lb 12oz and was 21”

[@smileyrulesinthe818]

@@ValerieKeim 🤩 wow that was a big baby haha. Your amazing and baby is beautiful. Im due in three months hope i can push mine out quick!!! God bless you!!!

[@BickyToya]

This sounds quite familiar to my births (I had 4) With my 3rd I felt the urge to push and I was only an 8 but the midwife to me to go for it! I pushed and then I was fully dilated! it was way diff than my other 3 births for sure!

[@ValerieKeim]

Wow that’s awesome! I love hearing other peoples experiences!

[@hannahbeachy8814]

He was born on my birthday!

[@ValerieKeim]

Awe haw cool!

[@elle_nolt]

I would disagree with the Pitocin. I did not know that yeah Pitocin causes worse contractions and I was put on it with my second born and they were very hard but then again he was born sunny side up so that might player on it I don’t know. I just know that I personally did not know what Pitocin was and was put on it and it increased my contractions.

[@ValerieKeim]

Gotcha! Every time I hear the word pitocin it just strikes fear in me 🙈🙈

[@swampophelia2098]

Here in the uk nobody is ever told to wait to push until doctors or midwives get there

[@ValerieKeim]

Must be nice 😂😅 not sure WHY they do that 🙈

[@swampophelia2098]

@@ValerieKeim I don’t know why but I do know that it can be dangerous to go against what your body naturally knows what to do during childbirth. Here birth is always managed by midwives , doctors are only brought in if they are needed, there is no extra money for managing a delivery. Your baby is beautiful by the way 😊✌️❤️🌈🇬🇧

[@drzenkobilas7770]

Thank you for your recollections, you come across as a really sweet loving mum. Loved your video. Did you 'birth canal widen' to 10cm diameter prior to birth with 'Antenatal Perineal Massage'? totally avoiding episiotomy, and minimising tearing, to decrease our use of antibiotics in medicine and help hinder bacteria from becoming resistant to yet more of our antibiotics. 'Mums Independent' on Facebook Page have research paper and more info. My phrase from The Bible is Hebrews 11.1 'To be confident in what you hope for and to believe in that in which you do not see, is to have faith'. I hope that all mums will know 'how to totally avoid episiotomy' and believe that mums are good communicators and will find a way to share this knowledge and good news, addressing the plea of Dr Susan Hopkins, Consultant Epidemiologist, Imperial College, London "Don't break skin, don't let the bug in, so keep antibiotics working for future generations". Thank you for your reply.

[@lilyandlou7669]

Unmedicated but you had cytotec isnt that a medication duhh

What I meant by unmediated was no pain meds 🙃
