Congrats on baby #2!

[@kerrimareee]

I’m in awe of people who choose to share what is one of, if not the, most important, special parts of their lives with the world. I love the way you talk about your labour and delivery and I’m so happy that the nurse listened when you expressed concerns about going home. Congrats guys! ❤️🇦🇺

BIRTH VLOG | Real + Raw 24 Hour Induced Labor Of Baby Girl kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6mtlpeQndWXfKc

[@popmusic2008]

With all the real and mostly negative things out there surrounding epidurals and birth it was really refreshing to see such a positive experience and see that it can happen.

[@eliseott800]

I dropped everything to watch this video when I saw you posted it. Thank you for sharing this part of your life!!

[@zivaa1517]

I was in labor 5 months ago, so I felt every single thing you tell us here. So beautiful, I hope you guys the best. Hello from the Netherlands

[@pizzaroll3778]

I would have went off about the Dr. even mentioning her prior engagements with you during labor. My Dr. told me today at my appointment that I needed to be induced at 38 weeks (1 week away) and she told me she would make sure that she’s there for me

[@Poisonhimgrrl81]

29 weeks now, going in at 37 weeks for planned C-section. I enjoyed every single moment of this wonderful experience. Thank you for sharing.

[@EllaBella007100]

I don't understand how it helps to tell the birthing mother that she inconveniently stole you from your "Jaz night". Saying stuff like that is obviously going to make her feel bad. I think it's unprofessional.

[@karaokay5444]

Extremely unprofessional 😅

[@cinnamoroll100]

I agree completely

[@perle13930]

No, come on lighten up 🙄

[@ajcelli]

I couldn't believe that. Like you can just control what your body is doing!

[@amyperez9004]

Lucie - I’m only 7 minutes into your video and laughing…I used the same contraction timer and didn’t follow the instructions to go to the hospital…when I did decide to go I was already 10cm and almost gave birth in the hallway to the delivery room LOL!!!! Loving this content and that you filmed it for yourself to look back on!

Congratulations Lucie! ❤️ As an OB nurse anesthesiologist it's always great to hear positive experiences broadcast on such a platform. Your little boy is the cutest! 💙

[@GraceCreatesLivingSpace]

This is like the first normal husband I’ve seen in one of these. You got yourself a good one sweetie.

[@LR11306]

You are such a good storyteller. If I give birth someday I definitely want an epidural so I can be present instead of being in survival mode from the pain. Congrats!!

[@hahahollyhoodmusic]

Awww, my goodness…and he’s perfect. Thank you for sharing. I’m 37 weeks and I believe my boy is coming out sooner than 40 weeks and I’ve been a little concerned bout it. But I believe he’ll be just as perfect.🤍

Congrats! Seeing this ans remembering 3 months ago i had our daughter makes me emotional! and now I finally posted my very own “to our daughter” on yt! Enjoy this special time with your newborn💛

[@Deakybean181]

I'm having HORRIBLE period cramps and watching these birth vlogs has somehow made them so much...it's like my body is trying to mimmic my labor pains again. lol!! Congratulations on your baby!!

[@rockleefangal]

My mom never got an epidural for either birth because she progressed so fast that they either never got started with it or had to stop partway through so she could push. She literally went from a 1 to a 10 in 30 minutes at 33 weeks with me. I was so preemie that nobody believed she was in labor until she started pushing and her doctor missed the birth because he thought he had time to cross the River for a conference. It made me so happy to hear that your doctor was willing to trust you enough to show up when you were a 3 and to commit to stay there until you delivered. How cool!!! So happy for you and your family.

[@sadiepiotti919]

Your video of telling your twin that your pregnant popped up and o watched and then I looked and it was posted 9 months ago. I looked so quick to see if the baby had been born. Congrats I'm so happy for you guys

[@kb9847]

I love positive birth stories. I don't think they are told enough. I too had great experiences. Congratulations!!

[@anniehay3391]

This is probably my favorite birth vlog so far. You are so goofy and it makes me so excited

[@JenniferMartinez]

You being in the darkness with the spotlight mirrors your wedding 💕💕 Congrats, Lucie!!

[@arielsmith7699]

I’m 23 weeks 5 days pregnant and watching all these vlogs is so helpful to know what’s going to happen when I deliver. That’s one of my fears is that my OB won’t be able to get there in time because she is like an hour away from where I’ll be delivering. Her main office is an hour away. I can’t wait to meet my baby girl though. 😊 so happy that you had a positive experience!!

[@kosipova01]

2nd time watching this - love the part about Michael calling the doula 😂 ❤

[@heathoxo]

Aw I'm crying. I had my first babe a month before you this past October! Hope you guys are doing well!

[@samilamascelle9221]

When I saw you post this experience I raced to the computer, I gave birth to my second child 6 months ago,. Congratulations, I can’t wait for you to be a mother!

[@maryswift6014]

That was refreshingly different than a lot of birth vlogs... Thank you for sharing.

[@kerawebley2705]

I'm always amazed when I hear other women talk about contractions lasting for hours sometimes more than a day. With my older daughter (she's 22 now), I had a lovely dinner of oxtail and rice & peas from the Jamaican restaurant across from our complex. Started feeling contractions maybe an hour after if that long, had to call her dad to come home from work and headed straight to the hospital, swore I was going to give birth on the highway, the pressure & urge to push was so strong. Got to the hospital, threw up the lovely meal, wasn't able to get an epi because labour progressed so quickly. they did give me some meds so I was able to rest for maybe an hour without pain. From 1st contraction to delivery was maybe 5 hours. She was born 1:07 am 01.07.00; on her due date. My ob/gyn had also said at my visit on the 6th that it may be another week or 2. I'm always amazed by the women that go through long labour because I remember all these years later that I was EXHAUSTED!!

[@jj-if6it]

It's good that you were able to go into labour naturally and didn't have to get induced. Everyone I know who was induced had a horrible experience. Also good thing you listened to your instincts and didn't go home when the hospital told you to!

[@perle13930]

[@lizalove91]

It’s amazing your specific doctor was able to come in for you. I live in Chicago so it’s a huge hospital network and I see the same doctor for all my appts but she said there’s a good chance she won’t be there for the birth and it may even be a doctor I’ve never met 😩but it’s in the top 20 hospitals in the nation so hoping for the best lol

[@user-vk7oj2qj5i]

Did you bring your own blankets? The tan blanket looks sooo warm

[@amanda.c.ice.]

Omg I had the SAME exact experience with my epidural! I was 3cm dilated, got the epidural and bam, 2 hours later I was dilated to a 10 and multiple nurses came to check to confirm because they were so shocked I progressed that quickly. My husband thought we were going to have 10 hours of hanging out calmly at the hospital but the look on his face after being told it was time for me to push after 2 hours was priceless! 😆

[@measbeauty]

I progressed really fast after getting my epidural as well I thought I'd be in labor for 20+ hours and I was induced at 8am had my epidural at noon and had the baby at 3.

[@dellamayorais3168]

[@faithbustos611]

i was 4cm when I got to the hospital got an epidural v shortly after getting to the hospital and about an hour and a half later i was a 10

[@kaylanozawa4798]

For the other first time mommas (I’m pregnant with my third), a big reason why she probably got so tired so early on in labor is because she was super hyper-focused on every sensation which does wear out a person mentally + physically. It’s best to ignore it as long as possible until the pain is not ignorable. I know it’s easier said than done when it’s your first pregnancy and it’s all unknown. 💓

[@kendallmuir471]

cutest baby ever, this makes me so happy congrats x

[@RickyandGandi]

We really have to advocate for ourselves. I mean they really tried to send you home and made you wait for the epidural. Thanks for sharing.

[@A-DIY-FAM]

I’m 37 weeks currently. I was certain I was going into labor this morning. But I think It’s just Braxton hicks mixed with stomach pain from the latest bug my children got from school. Either way I’m excited, because I’m almost there. Definitely will be sharing my journey on KZbin as well.

[@magdalenamychajlenko9807]

Congrats!! It’s a little bit sad that the ‘pushing part’ still looks like this in USA. It doesn’t have to! The ‘pushing hard’ might not be necessary at all, and the position itself definitely can be different than laying on your back with legs wide open… For any girls reading this, with their labor upcoming shortly, try to find more info about delivering a baby in more natural, self-driven (and baby-driven) way :)

[@beckylemm3smash44]

I’ve been doing a hupnobirthing course to calm my anxiety about birth and honestly it sounds like this and I already feel so much calmer. Apparently our bodies have a “feral ejection reflex” like when we throw up it just happens we don’t have to do much. I’m actually excited for labor haha

[@giginoelani5880]

​@@beckylemm3smash44curious, how did your labor go?

[@beckylemm3smash44]

@@giginoelani5880not to plan what do ever 😅😅 I wanted to stay at home as long as possible, I started bleeding at 3am and had to go straight into hospital ended up getting the epidural at 7cm which was the thing I was more scared about than actually having him 😂 and then the little bugger got stuck and we had to have an episiotomy and forceps and he was sunny side up which is why it was so painful they said. I was a mess for a few days/ a week it was a really emotional time but it was all worth it to have my little dude in the end ❤ I’d possibly even do it once more 😂😂

[@smileitsgracexo]

You don't have to, doctors let you push however you want, but if women don't educate themselves on pushing positions this is current default by providers

[@Rochale1111]

Right it's all about gravity so laying on your back isn't the best way

Gosh my labor experience was so similar to yours except I didn't fight them when they told me to go home from triage. Ended up back there less than 2 hours later of course. I did end up needing pitocin to progress properly, but it worked quickly! Epidurals are EVERYTHING. 🙌

My due date was 12.11.22 but my lil man decided to come early at 37wks as well lol my water broke at 9am when I laid back down in bed after feeding my cats in the morning. 11.20.22 we went the hospital at 10am, they had to give me a pill to start my contractions and help my cervix start dilating. Me and my bf waited all day/night to meet our son and we finally had him 11.21.22 at 12:42pm. I had crying contractions that turned into screaming contractions as well mama. They wouldn’t let me get the epidural until I was 7cm and girrrrrrlll it took forever for me to get to 7cm. I was stuck at 3cm for 4hrs and they wouldn’t let me walk around to help my contractions in the meantime. But Congratulations even though you had him a year ago! 🎉 Lol KZbin suggested your video to me and I decided to watch it. Our boys are birthday twins. 🥰💙
