Preparing for my Natural Home Birth at 39 years Old

[@chidenisee]

I had my son at 39 as well. It took me a while getting my body ready to accept and receive a child. After I changed my diet, started new vitamins and lost 20 Lbs, I got pregnant naturally. I was set up for in vitro fertilization just 3 months after I got pregnant. I knew the moment I conceived and it was amazing. Now I have a 22 month old who is the love of my life. He’s a handful but he is mine and I absolutely adore everything about him.

Yes, it's society that makes us gets anxiety. If you do the typical sedentary lifestyle and eat unhealthy foods, it will age you faster, but if you are following a healthy lifestyle, you will definitely be fine, include lots of sunlight and herbal concoctions that are good for pregnancy. If you still have a period, then you are still blessed with the ability to have a baby. The west has made it a medicalized event because a lot of people are unhealthy.

I’m so happy for you and Max. I have one child, she’s 17, and I wanted a natural birth but GOD had other plans, and I had to have a C-section. I was thrown off by it because it wasn’t my plan, but because I had a plan, and was prepared mentally, I wasn’t scared. I 100% agree with the head and heart being in alignment. When I found out I was pregnant I was scared, mostly because of other peoples horror stories but my great aunt told me that I’m strong, to just breath and surrender, that my body is made to bring this child into the world, and that I have all the tools I need. It was comforting to hear and it helped me a lot, along with my own research and being prepared. You got this!!! Your going to be such a good mom!! You’ve taught me so much and I’m 40. Blessings and Love to you!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for sharing your experience! I found that knowledge was THE THING that settled my fears throughout my pregnancy. People were quick to share horror stories which freaked me out so I stopped asking people about their experience and just focused on mine. I I wanted to have a hospital birth so I made sure to get fully educated on my birthing options, hospital options, etc. I went on the hospital tour of their birthing unit. They walked us through everything start to finish. I made a birthing plan which I shared with my husband, my OBGYN, and the nurse at the hospital once I went into labor so everyone was on the same page regarding my wants. I packed a diffuser and a radio (which I didn’t end up using but was nice to have). I do wish I read more about breastfeeding. My baby developed Jaundice which I later learned was partially because I wasn’t feeding her enough the first few days.

Had a Hospital birth with my son and a home birth with my daughter 3 years ago. The home birth was amazing! 14 hours but I was s in the zone it flew by. Little trick I used was 2 napkins, one with Peppermint essential oil to inhale during a contraction and one with Lavender EO for the rest phase. This helped me so much that I didn't need the gas and air my midwives had brought. The you connect with your breath you really transcend and allow the body to fulfil it's mission. Wishing you all the best xx

This journey is so special, take time to enjoy it, do your research no matter where or how or little one enters this world.

Maybe you already have but if not read ‘The fourth Trimester’ by Kimberly Ann Johnson. Preparing for birth is important. And knowing how to take care of your own body after you’ve given birth is extremely important, too. It gives so much information on preparing your body for birth, so to not have birth injuries in the first place and on how to recover after birth. ✨💕 (In this book I also learned why a lot of yogis actually have harder births. It’s because the way yoga is practiced now, we focus a lot on strengthening the pelvic floor and not on relaxing it, which is important for birth.)

Can I just say, gorgeous thumbnail 😍😍😍 good to see That Trick Jackieeee living her best life!!!!! 🥰

They literally call it geriatric pregnancy I think that’s a bit much.

[@codename495]

It’s just a term, it’s also a fact that complications are more likely after 35. Does that mean you shouldn’t have kids after 35? Nope, but the medical side of it is riskier.

[@Akeswill]

Right! She’s not 75 lmfao!!!

[@airie14]

You look so young and youthful it’s really encouraging to see you pregnant. I’m 26 and I get so stressed out that I don’t have kids yet because I do want at least one , I just haven’t found anyone yet 😣

[@shamelessmaya]

GIRLLLL!!!! No stress needed!

[@elizabethtimothy4776]

Stressed @ 26?! Please for goodness sake, don't! Stress kills the body gradually. If 47 can have back to back babies naturally without IVF or any assistance during birth, then what? Infact no vitamins during the first pregnancy as God kept him hidden from everyone until around 33 wks. Keep working on yourself and stay healthy at all times and leave the rest to God.

🥺Our baby is having a baby y’all!!!! So excited for you two and you just seem so much happier versus living in LA. Also I love that you have a Midwife, especially being a Black Woman in another country.

Hey Mya,, I have 3 children. 25,12 and 11 years old. I had them all in a hospital setting with doctors and nurses taking over. We didnt really have those options a few yrs. back like they do now. All my births turned out OK. 10lbs + babies. My suggestion to you is don't over think it. Trust me when labor comes usually all plans go out the window. You will be great. Our bodies were made for labor. All the best and kindest regards. 💙❤

You are going to be a great mom, just be in each moment. And that soft touch that you can’t stand get over it because baby will be rubbing on you for comfort.

[@fancylivingKi]

[@uxbymia]

Ohhh Maya!! You are truly a QUEEN. Your words will touch so many people 💗💗💗💗💯

[@theycallmeshug]

Seeing this gives me hope. I’m 35 and I want to be a mother so bad, I chose to pursue my career first and I wondered if I could be still within my grasp.

home birth is fine hopefully no surprises. If it goes as planned. I am a firm believer in epidural. I am rooting for you Maya ❤️

[@Kinnykins]

As some one who is currently pregnant and suffers from generalized anxiety, to any soon to be Moms out there anxious about being in that healthy headspace. I just want to share something my therapist shared with me that has helped a lot to remove that guilt of being pregnant and not having the best mental outlook all the time which leads to worrying about my mental health effecting baby. Babies born during wartime’s didn’t have any higher risk of birth defect or loss than babies born outside of war time, it’s okay to have mild stress, it’s not going to hurt your baby and the best thing is to not feel guilt about any of those feelings that arise during your pregnancy. I have found that accepting that stress and anxiety happen and it’s not causing harm allows me to let get of that space it alot faster and focus on my little bundle of sunshine ☀️ 🌞. As always, great video maya! Best of luck on your pregnancy journey Maya! This was a great video and I am definitely going to try the raspberry leaf tea :)
