Oops I home birthed again!

This is simply some information to have on hand JUST IN CASE your baby ain't waiting for nothing and decides they want to be birthed at home! I am not telling you how to deliver a baby nor am I telling you to have an unassisted home birth! BUT...there's info in here that might help you if baby is coming in hot and there's not time to get to where you intended to birth your baby!
Remember the MOST IMPORTANT thing is to call emergency services, wether that be 9-1-1 or another number if you live in a different country. Because the sooner you place that call the sooner help is coming! Make sure you follow their instructions as they will likely have you stay on the phone with them until help does arrive (and unlock that door for them too!)

Thank you for this video! Especially showing that women DO NOT have to lie flat on their backs to give birth and to keep the cord attached. Too many people still cut the cord too early (at least according to my post partum midwife and the head of L&D in the hospital I gave birth in), you are not supposed to cut it before it stops pulsing (under non-emergency circumstances), because it contains the babies blood and the baby needs this blood for a good start.

[@HolisticBanana333]

Yup it’s called a “lotus birth” when u leave the placenta attached to baby until it stops pulsing so they get all the good nutrients ❤🎉

[@jennyh4025]

@@HolisticBanana333 a Lotus birth is a birth where the placenta is kept attached until it falls off. To wait until it stops pulsing and is white is often called „delayed cutting of the cord“, because it’s done later than the standard „baby is out, let’s cut“ in many hospitals. And if you accidentally give birth without a medical professional, it’s better to keep it attached until it can be cut off by a medical professional in non-emergency cases.

[@vickyferreira3259]

"Before it stops pulsing"???? 😳 Forgive me, I've never had children.

I was in labor for 36 hours, 34 of which I was less than 5 centimeters. I went from 5.5 to “this baby is coming now” in less than an hour. This is my second kid, but he was a month early. The doc came in and said some shit about getting his head over the lip of my cervix, followed by his hand and the worst pain ever in my life. I felt such relief when he stopped. (No epidural, no nothing) anyway classic story, he said he’ll be right back and I’m left in the room with 2 or 3 nurses who are still scrambling to get everything set up because like I said, less than an hour ago I was still only 5cm. I felt the overwhelming need to push and this being my second child and having been there for a day and a half already with little sleep, no food, and only told 90mins ago that I’d have to have a c section if this doesn’t progress, (mostly what catapulted me going from 5 to 10cm was me getting pissed off about this, that no one had said anything about no damn c section) I decided that this has to happen NOW, because I’m not gonna have the strength to push for 2.5 hours like I did w my first. Well, I only pushed for 14 minutes. I got up doggy style on the bed, did some cat/cow stuff and just started screaming and blocked out everything around me. I felt him crown, I felt his head go, I felt his shoulders slide down, and then I reached both hands between my thighs and caught him myself, brought him up to the middle of the bed under my chest, cried for a few seconds and then pulled the umbilical cord around and flipped over with him in my arms, waiting for the nurses to do something other than stare at me. The doctor dude then comes back and clearly I have done this without him so he just said something like congrats mama and left again. My son was born VERY VERY purple and NICU took him pretty quick after that, and we didn’t get him home until two weeks later, but that’s a story for another time. I’m just saying women need to know these things and while there is no substitute for experience, women’s reproductive education is lacking beyond “here’s how you get pregnant”. I felt like with my first I was terrified and my second I was like “yeah I got this” Btw he is four months old now and totally fine!

My doctor helped to thin the lip of my cervix with her fingers. But she explained everything and we worked together. It didn't hurt. This was done to prevent the baby's head from compressing the cervix and causing swelling which might prolong the process. The "baby" just turned 27. 😊 Congratulations on your little one!

[@Snowflower_frost22]

I think doctors just need to be prepared. Trust what the mother is saying when she says when she knows what she is doing. Just wait a little while and ask if she is alright and intervene only when the mama knows something is wrong. Even when she says it's a feeling that something is wrong and she is experienced that's when you help

​@@Snowflower_frost22with my first I was laboring for 24hrs at 7cm and no pain meds (because I didn't feel anything). After they gave me pitocin something didn't feel right. Only one of my l&d nurses took me seriously and she checked on my daughter again and sure enough her cord was coming first and I had to be rushed into surgery. So glad she listened to me, I felt terrible when she fell of my bed and broke her arm. She had to hold my daughters head off of her cord and when we stopped in the surgery room and started lowing my bed down she fell

[@naomistrange2858]

This is unbelievably good information. It should be much more standard to learn these things. We often just imagine pregnancy and labor as, "ope, my water broke, my partner will now drive me to the hospital in more than enough time" but there are so many scenarios that this situation could happen in. Labor is insane and chaotic and can happen very quickly, and you may not have time to go to the hospital. Part of all birthing classes and any sort of training involved in giving birth should include learning what to do if you can't make it to the hospital or don't have a doula/midwife/trained professional present.

Hey I'm 21 and have one! I might sound old to you girls but I do wish I hadn't had to learn so much of this information so fast! I had enough to worry about just being pregnant. I wish they would teach it in school a little even just for safety reasons... you never know when you'll have to care for a baby or a mother in an emergency! It's such a crucial thing for humanity you'd think it wouldn't be so mystified.

Don’t scream when you’re in the pushing phase!!! It is NOT like the movies. Curl in on yourself, chin to chest, and grunt if you have to. But screaming is going to waste much-needed energy.

Don’t be afraid to push in the way that best suits you, as well. Back, side, hands and knees, squatting- all are viable as long as they work for YOU. ❤

It’s so sad to me that decades of hospitalized birth has made women feel as if they aren’t allowed to trust their bodies and birth the way they choose. For some, this video is the only labor and birthing process they know. Many women believe this is “dangerous” The best place and way to labor and deliver your baby is wherever momma feels safe and empowered to make her own choices. If momma and baby are healthy and it’s an uncomplicated pregnancy, home birth is a beautiful and amazing experience.

[@livewellwitheds6885]

its a fact, not a belief. pregnancy is dangerous & planned home births have 2-3x the rate of infant death compared to hospital births.

[@hannahk1306]

The point is that it *can* be dangerous. If this is something you want to do, then talk to your medical professionals about your own individual circumstances. Pregnancy and birth have caused health issues, including death, for lots of women. Let's educate people instead of pretending that those risks don't exist!

[@beth8775]

​@@hannahk1306Yes! There's a lot of us who might have died without modern medical intervention, and we are no less as women because of it.

[@Linaelinaeya]

Because its difference, in older times our bodies and complexities were very different. In fact a whole lot of things with our body had changed. Through a decade a lot of things change due to evolution. So we need modern medicine now than we did in the last century. Without it many mothers as well as babies would suffer a lot of complications and the mortality rate would be way higher. If you aren’t aware of it in many countries with advanced infrastructure for medical supervises still the infant and maternal mortality rates are high for their level. So don’t be too sure, many things can go wrong. It always important to be on the safe side and not stubborn to prove I am women, be mindful instead.

[@cupcake1406]

Just because you have an uncomplicated pregnancy does not mean you will have an uncomplicated labor and delivery. Many women and babies lives have been saved because of modern medicine and interventions ( C-sections). During labor and delivery when things go bad, they go bad fast and you need high skill medical professionals available to intervene on the be half on the mother and/or baby. Unfortunately, that would not be available during a home birth by a midwife. Safety should be the highest priority.

Yes. Also just keep baby at heart level and try to breastfeed since it will make the uterus contract back to normal like it should. Also giving birth standing / squatting is easiest because gravity is helping.

How

[@mina-b8k5d]

After how long do you cut the cord?

[@manifestmyfuture]

@@mina-b8k5d you wait to cut the cord until the blood stops pulsating. It allows all the wonderful stem cells to flow into the baby. Western doctors are slowly starting to figure this out.

[@Tanyalinares33]

​@@mina-b8k5d, wait at least until the cord stops pulsating. I usually wait even longer, around an hour or so. But there are people who never cut the cord and just leave the placenta attached until the cord fall off. It's called a Lotus birth.

Great advice. As long as baby is breathing, keeping baby on mom and warm are pretty much the only priorities until help arrives. No need to worry about the cord or anything else. And if you're having to wait a long time, have someone massage your belly to try to prevent excess bleeding, which will suck, but it's worth it.

[@ziggybearofficial]

Don't forget to unclog their nose. My little sister almost suffocated when she was born in Germany until my mom had to step in and unclog them. Sometimes birth liquids can clog them up. Especially if the baby decides to only breath in through the nose.

[@mamanursetina]

We don’t actually do routine suctioning of the mouth and nose at my site anymore. The focus is more on stimulating and drying when we resuscitate babies unless there’s a TON of secretions in there blocking things ♥️

[@ziggybearofficial]

@@mamanursetina that's fair. It's still important to at least check though, it saved my sister’s life.

[@myfirstnamemylastname2994]

​@@ziggybearofficialyes and in some countries when the baby is struggling and needs suctioning but these are rural people with no medical care they put their mouth over the baby's mouth and nose and suck out those fluids and spit them out. It can save the babies life so I think in that case if you were in that situation that would be the thing to do. But only if the baby is clearly having problems and gravity and squeezing its little nostrils doesn't do anything. If you do have access you can buy one of those little suction bulbs but not use it unless you have to.

I come from a line of midwives on both sides of my family. I wanted to be a doula at one time. Birthing is so amazing! Even though my own childbirth story was a little traumatic (I ended up having an emergency C-section) it was still the most amazing thing that's ever happened to me.

YES! Don’t cut that cord. In the U.K. if you phone the emergency services they will tell you to cut the cord. No no no!!!! The cord is your life line!!! Even in resuscitation. If baby can be resuscitated still attached to the cord then do it. That is gold standard and gives your baby the best chance.

[@Tanyalinares33]

YES!!! I wish this was common knowledge. I almost lost my grandson because his cord was clamped and cut immediately after birth. There's so much happening directly after the baby emerges from the womb. A miraculous transition is occurring between baby and placenta. When the cord is clamped it stops the flow of blood and everything in that blood that the baby desperately needs. In my grandson's case, it nearly cost him his life.

Omg this was me- you don’t want to think this would ever happen with your plans for the hospital, but my son was almost born at home.

I was in so much pain I had to be carried down the stairs and to the vehicle. We live about 10 mins from the hospital- once we were there my son was born within five minutes. The doctors were NOT ready, and my baby and I were a bit of a local story for a while because the hospital did NOT birth babies- I didn’t give them much of a choice though 😂 my mother in law dropped us off at the emergency room door, she parked her car, grabbed her purse and walked into the hospital. She said to the security guard ‘I’m not sure if she’s having her baby today we think it’s just fake contractions’ the security guard replied with ‘I just heard a baby ma’am, I think she already had the baby’ 😮 😅 we had some complications initially but my son is almost 6 and doing very well now 😊
