I've been busy and haven't watched KZbin for weeks, and I IMMEDIATELY CLICKED ON THIS WHEN I SAW IT

[@lenziwomack]

Not me sobbing over how amazing of a support and cheerleader Marcus was, keeping spirits joyful and light through it all, giving your props, not hiding his excitement, taking care of you with such joy! This really eases my mind hoping for my own future birth story and future husband teamwork

[@beth7886]

not hiding excitement is such a GOOD trait to have!

[@leynamiller]

Marcus is so sweet and supportive I’m glad you had someone to help take care of you!! 🥹

[@KristinJohnss]

He is THE BEST! Coached me through my whole birth haha

@@Dontworrybhappy_you have to stop with this wording. It isn’t helpful to anyone. Don’t push your opinions on people to try to guilt them all in the name of commenting and being helpful. It’s actually gross.

@@Dontworrybhappy_no one asked for your opinion

[@eimeardonnelly8548]

You've completely missed the point of this video. Kristin put this out to document her joy and EMPOWER other women to show them its possible to have a positive birth. Why on earth would you instead try to shame another woman for a personal choice she made during her labour for herself and her baby. I'm 31 weeks pregnant and anxious and this gave me so much comfort to watch her go through this in such a joyful way. Shame on you for trying to drag other people down when it's none of your business. You're contributing to the fear and judgement women feel about birth.

You are such a strong and beautiful person Kristin!! Also not surprised you were having contractions without noticing---I suspect you have an insanely high pain tolerance!

I’m pregnant with my second baby too and I’ve been going back and forth about whether I want to get the epidural this time. My first birth I didn’t have time and as grateful as I am for that experience, I’m just not sure I want to have a natural birth again lol. But I will say your video totally just encouraged me to really consider the epidural.
