I had the exact same thing happen to me with my last baby. I could feel all the emotions you had. She went transverse after being head down 2 days prior. The dr when I was on the Csection table we heard the words anyone have any thoughts on getting her out without snapping her neck? It was absolutely terrifying. So thankful for our dr who got her out safe and sound and even with a 12 hours nicu stay she’s a healthy 7 years old now. The trauma is still horrible for me but so thankful it all worked out

Your husband’s understanding of the natural birth process is fantastic. I wish ALL dads were this motivated.

[@Takethe3dgeoff]

I LOVE how informed dad is. This is all stuff I learned in my birthing class with my partner and it totally changed our outlook on hospital births. I have history of hemorrhaging so birthing center and home birth was out of the question. But those birthing classes helped me have my VBAC.

[@themorales6]

So so happy and relieved for you that you have your baby now and he’s healthy and you’re healthy. But I know how much your hearts hurt about the WAY things unfolded and the difficult recovery. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@themorales6]

I love the way the two of you interact. What a beautiful partnership!🥰

[@SherryBaby2003]

Wow, that was super traumatic. I’m sorry that you had to go through all that to help put things into perspective. I’m almost 62 and was never able to conceive didn’t go fertility route because I was trusting God he gave me an amazing husband that had four children who lost their mom to brain cancer, and I’ve been blessed with two beautiful grandchildren, one on the way and a niece that I love with all my heart, also some other babies through spiritual daughters and friends. Going through menopause and grieving that I was never able to do what I was made for has been definitely hard. Thanks for sharing your story. I tend to watch a lot of KZbin videos about babies.🤍

Glad Daddy was a good advocate. Although the delivery wasn't to great, It's a precious memory to know he's by your side as a protector, always. That love is rare. I just had my 7th on February 11th, she's 7 weeks old now. God is always with us and he hears us.

I had the new year's baby in 2010! 12:08 am!! Natural, no induction, no epidural ☺️

[@themorales6]

I love the baby names!!! And I love that you’re more in love when you’re tired. Too cute! 🥰

[@brianawilson2175]

Thank you for sharing your story! ❤️ It's very similar to my own. I also made it to 9cm and ended up with an emergency c-section. Although it wasn't a vertical section, I was put under general anesthesia and intubated. The scariest feeling was waking up and not knowing whether she was alive or not. I also hemorrhaged and had to have a few units of blood. I felt so defeated and robbed as well. I ended up dealing with alot of PPD, Post partum anxiety, and post partum OCD. It was a very dark period of time for me. I'm praying for you all. Especially you Momma! 🙏❤️

[@themorales6]

Omg Hayden is PERFECT. And the three boys together….. I can’t even. 🥰🥰🥰

[@bigtreesgirl]

No wonder you felt so much trauma! The whole experience was as far from your anticipated natural process as you can get. But you landed safely. And here you are. Beautiful, lovely family.

[@themorales6]

Sorry for the play-by-play comments on the video. I’m just digesting the story as I’m listening to it. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@themorales6]

You guys were so amazing! Rachel, you’re such a badass. ❤️❤️❤️ I know how hard that c-section/breach revelation had to be for you, especially being soooo close dilation-wise. Good for your husband for asserting himself to stay in the room!!!! I’ve been there for it several times as a doula, but they always insist that the partner not be.😤

[@KristaKHowell]

God is soooooo good!!!! Thank you for sharing your story ❤️ I could feel the intensity of your trama!! I literally boohoo'd everytime you started to get emotional!! As a mom of 3 grown babies SAVOR EVERY MOMENT! They will fly by so fast 😭 I will be praying for your mental healing and your physical recovery 🙏🙏😘

[@almmason7]

Congratulations, you have a beautiful family!!! 👏👏😍 Praying you have complete healing and wholeness!!!🙏🙏🙏 I had a traumatic 1st birth and c-section. Then all V-backs with the last 3. My 3rd baby boy was a stillbirth, so that was also traumatic. Then I had a baby girl in 2020. This two shall pass...I am healed from my loss, and it took time. Forgive yourself and know this wasn't your fault. It will take time, and the timing is different for everyone. I am grateful your son is healthy and handsome too. 🥰

[@fioletowemikroby4757]

Thank you for the video! God bless you!

[@themorales6]

Love love love your affirmation cards! ❤

[@themorales6]

I used Bradley method with all of my four natural births. And I too am a control freak.😤 I could relate to so much of what you described about labor in general. My husband was fantastic for all of our births.

[@themorales6]

Yes, birthing women are freaking warriors!

[@DianeWassil-ei3sp]

I feel your pain I had four natural births and one C-section but I think you were wrong when you said they asked if you wanted pain medicine and you said no I don't do drugs to me that was not funny and it was completely unnecessary some people need more medication and maybe some don't it's everyone's choice it doesn't mean that you do drugs

[@loriprescott2066]

You, definitely, will need a trauma counselor as PTSD is serious. I’m so happy to hear you recovered. OMG

[@catarina0927]

My mother had a vertical C-section when I was born.

[@themorales6]

It sounds like she shouldn’t have broken your water. That’s frustrating.😢
