Oh my goodness, congratulations!! We have 11 children, and I was on a 100% Vegan Whole Foods Plant-Based Diet for the last 5 births, and they were the best ever! My last 2 babies I had at 40 and 42 years old, and these pregnancies and births were amazing. Enjoy every second!❤

[@Arlene_DOTK]

Amazing 👏 Thanks for sharing beautiful Mama 💕

[@angelahansen7153]

@naturalsimpleliving @eatmoverest Hey guys! Quick question....We have been plant based for the past 7 years and have 1 baby girl that is thriving with all the veg and fruits plus right now I'm also experiencing our second baby and I was wondering if you have heard about the belief that vegan and vegetarian placentas are less "vibrant"/"healthy" than meat eaters..... I think if you have a well balanced plant based diet your placenta will show it, but I wonder from your experience what you think of this.

[@lifeworthliving3115]

How do drs. know what the "healthy placenta" is supposed to look like if they have only seen meat eaters' placentas? Things can be healthy even if they look different, right?

[@juliakeithweis]

I seriously want to get to know you! I went completely plant based And had the best 6th pregnancy and birth! Then I’ve felt like I was deficient and have tried some meats and probiotics rich organic dairy. Sheeps yogurt , sheeps cheese. I don’t know… breastfeeding took a lot out of me it feels. I am trying to go plant based again. I still feel like I don’t have the complete answer. Julia

[@juliakeithweis]

I also meant to say not a lot of meat but from hunting or a good source. More veggies and plant based still.

[@jessicawilson6003]

made me cry when dusty said he told max they are now the protectors of the family. so amazing and sweet. what great parents yall are! ❤

[@starlightgirl1695]

I loved that too! Real men teaching their boys how to protect their women. Love it!

[@KAndrea1710]

When I gave birth to my son, it was an unmediated and at the hospital. I wanted to do a water birth but things went too fast. I kicked everyone out of the room but my husband. I turned off the lights and my eyes were closed the entire time. My water never broke so that was hard because my midwife did end up having to break it for me but after that. It was three contractions and he was out. I loved giving birth and other than being in the hospital, it was perfect and exactly what I wanted...

[@chrissybackes1942]

I can’t believe you have 3 kids now It’s so Amazing

[@jingpan3674]

same as my experience with my third baby, my baby just come out himself without my pushing at all

Congratulations ❤

[@joanmichaelson2717]

Mine were both homebirths in 75 and 81. First with 3 friends who were Air Force OB/GYN nurses. The second with a doula/midwife team. Grateful. The best days of your life.

[@starlightgirl1695]

First of all congratulations! So many golden nuggets in here. Absolutely loved when Dusty told Max they are now the protectors of the family😍 Love babies name- so fitting❤❤❤ Your birth story was beautiful and unfolded so perfectly. Loved it when Dusty was talking about your life in general and how far you've come to have the life you have now- key phrase "we DECIDED to have and live the life we always dreamed about". Being deliberate creators of our life and constantly decided for ourselves how it's going to go is so empowering and you guys embody that so well! Love your videos and the inspiration you give to the world. 💖

[@bettymaugeri7316]

Congratulations on the birth of Zoe - many blessings to all the family ❤

Congratulations on baby Zoe, she is precious. I am so happy for you and your family 🥰

[@lucianas4919]

Also, I am happy that you were able to have the home birth you wanted.

[@sosoutherncustomequestrian4598]

Congratulations!

[@diannekoelzer1214]

Both of you make such a great team! Welcome to the world, baby Zoe! Our daughter had a homebirth, and it was such a perfect experience! A big plus was the fact that you didn’t have to go to a hospital, you had the opportunity to stay in your own surroundings and after the birth, it was so comforting to be able to just stay and relax. Also having her other children there to see was such a beautiful experience. She had a great midwife and Doula and that makes all the difference.

[@francinemesserli7312]

congratulations it's a gift, beautiful girl .beautiful mam and dad . all your family is fantastik . your baby is so cute. I'm very glad for all your family
