POSITIVE UNMEDICATED BIRTH | Labor & Delivery 3rd Baby | Becca Bristow

[@emilypickens5892]

I actually watched this video while in the hospital beginning my induction last Saturday! It was so encouraging! I had a wonderful delivery experience of my 4th baby…I had a very positive natural hospital birth experience, just as you did!

[@CrazyCrystalala]

I so needed this, my due date is tomorrow and I was feeling so stressed that I'm not showing any signs of labor but to see you talk about having kids after 41 weeks made me relax a lot more!

[@FreshtoDeathFitness]

Such a helpful reminder that, although things might not go according to the 'plan', going with the flow and staying positive leads to a beautiful birth experience.

[@caitlin9823]

So excited to watch!! I’ve had two babies unmedicated thanks to you and your videos!

[@BeccaBristow]

Ahhh amazing!!! :)

[@moonboy5851]

Thanks for this. I have so much anxiety about my wife's delivery this week. I don't know how I'm going to handle seeing her go through it.

[@Pathrissia]

Hey, how did it go?

[@jacqimcgarry4073]

Your story is inspiring and comforting…. I’m not expecting yet but am absolutely terrified of labor and childbirth!!

[@-living4jesus4ever-]

You’ll be fine! Look up Bradley birth classes locally. Was SO empowering for my husband and I.

[@HavanaHarvest]

I’ve been watching you for awhile but this is my first time watching Beau’s birth story. I also had an unmedicated hospital induction on July 12, 2022. My second daughter was born 7/12/22 at 1:50pm!

[@orsikatona7860]

Becca, I absolutely adore your videos, thanks for sharing this wonderful experience with us 🤍 Welcome sweet baby boy! 🤍

[@BeccaBristow]

Thank you Orsi!! ♥️♥️

[@allieyates557]

My 1st was breech so automatic c-section (my water broke at work) but I knew she was breech a week beforehand so it was a relatively chill time. My 2nd was head down and his water broke early just like his big sister but then my labor stalled and I had to have pitocin but I never dilated more than 1" and he never dropped so 40 hours later, he had to be a c-section baby too. I was so set on a VBAC, I got a doula and my chiropractors came and adjusted me in the hospital as I was stalled. But he was stubborn. At least he's now a healthy 4.5 year old boy! 💙

[@TheREALPurpleThrone]

Really sad they told you it was an automatic c section just because baby was breech.

[@allieyates557]

@@TheREALPurpleThrone I know but I think it was the way she was situated made it not possible to safely deliver pain free. I was more at peace with her birth than my 2nd child's with the attempted VBAC that ended in another c-section.

[@libertylane35]

Been looking forward to this story! Congrats to your family!!

[@BeccaBristow]

Thank you so much!!!

[@samanthawolf2027]

Beautiful birth and handsome little guy! I’m so happy it was a good experience for you❤️👶🏼

[@BeccaBristow]

Me too!! Thanks so much!

[@Brikess]

I felt like I was going to pass out with pitocin contractions. You are a trooper!

[@VanessaDennise]

Love your story Becca! So incredibly happy for you!! Love all your details you shared!!

[@TheChocolatelegZ]

Love hearing this Bec! Great job girl

[@emilymunday6212]

This is so exciting Becca! What a blessing seeing the birth of your sweet baby

[@stephaniewilliams0]

Congratulations on your boy!! How exciting you now have both! 💕

[@danielleledger7595]

Beautiful birth story! Congratulations Becca❤️

[@kathymills1925]

Congratulations on baby boy! 💙

[@BeccaBristow]

Thank you so much!!

[@thackerybinx2637]

I’m glad your labor started before the induction. But for future reference and anyone else who might be looking at this comment, a more accurate due date would be 40 weeks and five days, 40 weeks after the end of your last period not from the first day of your last period. It’s just another way. The medical system has us feeling like our bodies are wrong so that we submit to intervention sooner.

[@maxinesealey8927]

[@alenakhatuntsev4042]

Hey :) kinda random question, can you post a link to the baby wrap you are using? It’s so pretty :) also really encouraged by your birth story and love how you have a birth plan but are also flexible to adjust according to how things are going!

[@xTaryn09]

I know this is super random but because your hubby is so tall- I noticed his seatbelt is not over his shoulder. Make sure he raises the seatbelt on side of door so it’s worn properly for safety reasons😊 So happy to hear your birth story and glad everyone is doing well!

[@BeccaBristow]

Thanks!

[@jezishshah3149]

Congratulations! I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant with baby number 4 and I can NOT stop watching birth videos lol super scared and excited at the same time P.S. Where did you buy your baby carrier? It’s super cute 😊

[@shannonabney3401]

Omg not me balling like a baby over here 😭 waiting on my baby girl to come any day now 🥰 Edit: Congratulations!! It looks like you did amazing Mama! ❤️

[@jeshshe9520]

Thank you so much for sharing this with us! Gosh what a magical moment 🤍 I’m due with baby #2 in February and aiming for my first unmedicated birth!!

[@emilyearnest9240]

I am due with Baby #2 in February as well! I went unmedicated with my first in the hospital and plan on doing it again. I highly recommend hypnobabies, Sarah Lavonnes videos and watching positive unmedicated hospital birth stories and researching to empower yourself! Also if you can afford a Doula they are AMAZING! Or make your man your Doula. You can do it!!!

[@caitlin9823]

Would love to hear about the after birth and your time at the hospital and breastfeeding deets!

[@roxannar3820]

Congratulations! A boy!! 🥰

[@jacc1619]

Thanks for sharing! I'm curious what carrier you're using? It seems very secure which I feel not all soft wraps are. (Which is why I struggled with my 1st and 2nd)

[@shannonshopp4055]

Congratulations so exciting to see you had a boy! When you get some time will you tell us what supplements your taking postpartum

[@jessmarie227]

Such a lovely positive story! What carrier are you using for your baby? It looks so comfy 🥰

[@angelamarcinkevich9202]

Congratulations ❤️

[@iCrossaire]

Thank you for sharing your birth story! I’m expecting and I have set a goal for myself to give birth naturally and unmedicated. It’s ok if things turn out differently but I want to try.

[@NikkisNest]

I found your channel through looking for oily peeps on instagram a while back and related to the way you do life in multiple ways. You have the best advice and are super knowledgeable! I make your face wash and face oil for my family! I’ve enjoyed watching your family grow and I LOVE the name Beau! Your birth with him was almost the exact same for me. I took castor oil 41 weeks and it stalled out when I was in the hospital- I was also 5 cm when I walked in and they broke my water to move things along and then it was 7 cm immediately. I got pitocin even though I didn’t necessarily want it and that was when it got rough. But she came shortly after that! Congratulations and you did amazing! 🤘

[@BeccaBristow]

Amazing birth story mama!!! So similar! Thanks so much for following along all this time :)

[@libertylane35]

Can I ask why you pushed laying down if you didn’t have a epidural? Isn’t it easier with gravity to be upwards ?

[@AngelGrl135]

I was going to ask the same thing! Plus your tailbone can’t drop back freely in that position thus inhibiting full pelvic expansion.

[@daliaheyer8587]

I had 2 natural deliveries, no epidural and both laying down, I was pretty comfortable to be honest didn’t even thought about getting up , I guess it depends on each person

[@Nikki-ks6wi]

Go girl!

[@chloemichelle7335]

Congrats!!!!! Love your big family and super happy for you both. Glad it went well! 😀

[@BeccaBristow]

Thank you so much!!

[@syazzie5560]

I get anxious once I get into the hospital because I know it’s “go time” after that and it get intense. So my heart rate increase once they put the IV’s in. Ugh… I really dislike giving birth! I’m 38 weeks and 5 days now and my anxiety is high. 😣

[@Icyl0ve]

Congrats! Love the baby wrap! 😁🙏🏼❤️ What is that one called? So cute! 🥹

[@kristidraine5007]

I'm certainly pregnant wit my 4th baby and his due date is on July 8th 2023 im so excited I can't wait to see my lil man

[@elisabethdejong5091]

Today is my due date - we are expecting our first! I am hoping for an unmedicated hospital birth. Getting anxious to meet our little boy and soak up all the baby snuggles!

[@shb8212]

Oh my goodness, my baby was born the same day and her name was either going to be Beau or Rayne... We chose Rayne with a nickname of "rainbow" 🥰

[@shb8212]

Also, I did Castor oil with my second and it was perfect. My ideal labor experience... I mean there was diarrhea the whole day before but other than that 😅

[@BeccaBristow]

Oh I love that!!! So beautiful! And glad the castor oil worked lol and was a good experience! 👏🏼

[@andreatingue6126]

Thank you for sharing! Wondering which labor gown you used? expecting in December and would like to avoid the hospital gown

[@syazzie5560]

What was your tools for staying calm? How did you do it?

[@missgulino]

Beautiful story thank you for sharing, congrats on baby boy! 💙 but how was the birth “unmedicated” with the pitocin?

[@readysetromeo3945]

Unmedicated typically means without pain medication (ie epidural).

[@vanessa51790]

I had my water break up high with two of my births and then their head corked it off so it’s quite possible it might have been . Congratulations

[@rhenry5837]

I had this happen as well!

[@FDSCreatives]

This happened to me with 2 of mine.

[@beckt6953]

Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your birth story. Will try for no epidural for baby #2 as it did not work with my first.

[@BeccaBristow]

Oh gosh I can’t imagine it not working 😭 you’re a champ!!! You got this!

[@rachelp276]

Congratulations! Did you just do castor oil or did you mix it with anything and how much!?

[@Aseabasplace]

Absolutely beautiful, well done, Becca! Have you used clary Sage to help kickstart labor? I’m 24 weeks worth #5-my first Oily baby ❤️

[@BeccaBristow]

Thank you!! And oh yes I tried it all lol it’s never worked for me but I’ve heard other ladies say it helped!

[@marykatehorner9789]

Christiana! I used to work there but now we live in Sussex county! Also, went to Penn State!!

[@BeccaBristow]

Omg love it!!!

[@pmk5030]

Congratulations, Becca!! Welcome to the world baby Beau!! I just had my first, a baby girl, on Jul 20 (three weeks ago yesterday!). I've enjoyed watching all of your pregnancy videos from over the years to help prepare myself. Question -- where is the baby carrier that you're wearing from/who makes it? I'd like to get one! Also, any thoughts on making a video about breastfeeding? That would be super helpful! Thanks!

[@JH1396-]

Please consider making a video if a doula was worth it and how to find a good one. ❤️

[@laurenjeanmiddleton209]

I want an unmedicated birth so badly this time! Going to aim for it

[@deannacancello6115]

Can you link some of the hypo birthing sound tracks you used and birth affirmations!

[@kevinsanchez7511]

I’m new congrats! We’re you on a blood thinner while pregnant? I always take lovenox a blood thinner shot since I have blood clotting disorders while pregnant

[@Svet-Lana2022]

Did you ever address why you chose hospital birth this time? I must have missed it. I know you had preeclampsia last time does that make you automatically high risk every time?

[@TheREALPurpleThrone]

No your history should never be a label they put on you for future pregnancies and births.

[@Svet-Lana2022]

@@TheREALPurpleThrone I know that. I was curious how her doctors were going about it.

You can have a little leak in the water bag without the whole bag being broken. It sounds like that is what happened to you

Not to be a hater, but can we discourage people from VLOGing while actively driving….

[@Suebearish]

Sounds like it was forewaters

[@thehealingmama8823]

Congratulations. Curious it says unmedicated but you had patocin?

[@TheREALPurpleThrone]

Yes, pitocin is a medication/drug, pig hormones to start contractions

[@mariettastadulislehman]

Did you have any doubled or tripled up contractions? Those killed my natural birth wishes

[@Svet-Lana2022]

I had double peak contractions with my second birth!!!! Weirdly enough I thought his birth was the easiest compared to my other two also un-medicated births.

[@ArsiniC11]

[@binteyusuf1317]

Not 45. Lol. 4 to 5 cm

This is all talking

[@pattyk101]

You deserve a gold star! You gave birth without medication! Wait, haven't women been doing that for, dare I say, hundreds of thousands of years?

[@Svet-Lana2022]

Are you being sarcastic? Yes women have done it for thousands of years and every single one of them deserves a gold star! Have you ever had unmedicated labor and delivery? I’ve had 3 and the pain takes your soul out of your body.

[@TheREALPurpleThrone]

Yes and at home as well for thousands of years, even with no assistance! I did it and had NO PAIN as well.

[@crazy9nic]

You didntvreally show him to us or tell us what he weighed and his length n all the important things

[@Brikess]

I wouldn't say those are important things. The video is about how the labor and delivery went.
