As a birth-worker, I'm sooo grateful for your vulnerability. It is so validating to hear the nuances of labor and birth. The way you balanced your spiritual understanding and then the practicality of it all was really humbling and it made me think of myself in various situations and moments. My favorite part is when you said "maybe my cells knew i'd feel safer here..." was a powerful ass statement. You are a healer Veladya, I've been a supporter for a long time and just by sharing your truths, you're healing so much for us all. Thank you! And shoutout to Matt, you're a real one!

What the world really needs right now is nuance. Living in either extreme is always far from the truth. Thank you for integrating and sharing your truth, this is the way forward. Not avoiding or thinking we can bulldoze the things we don’t like to the ground and live a utopia tomorrow. Integration and holding the complexity is key.

As a midwife I just want to say thank you for listening to yourself, your body, and your baby. There are so many factors that go into birth that unfortunately the free birth community doesn’t consider that we all need different things physiologically, mentally and spiritually
@BohemianHealingCoАй бұрын
Thank you for sharing this story! It is so reminiscent of what I experienced with my birth. I took the courses, had the freebirth hippie friends, and still chose the hospital after 3 days laboring at home. Took the epidural and felt inferior or ashamed for quite awhile. Told myself if my labor was shorter it would have ended differently for me. Its been 2.5 years and I still think about the what ifs, but stories like yours help me own mine and I am grateful! 💕

Thank you for sharing!!!! Been waiting for this. This story is such a great example of the importance of doulas and midwives! I hear in almost every birth story the moment of “this is so hard, I’m so scared, I can’t do this anymore” and the doula steps in and helps mamma push thru. I wish you had that but I’m glad everyone is here healthy and happy!
@TheHeartXCrownConnectionАй бұрын
In reference to feeling safer at the hospital on a cellular level let me say this… As indigenous/women of color we have centuries of free birthing BUT we also have centuries of putting our births in the hands of others (forcibly and on our own accord). I say this to say some of our deep inclinations do not even come from us but they manifest through us. Our lineage is not just warrior women stories we have stories of vulnerability and “weakness” and guess what THATS DIVINE. Those stories are how we transmute pain and learn to be so so understanding of others. Sometimes we go through the shame to reveal to others how to heal from it. Beautiful family, beautiful story ❤.

Glad to see you guys back! You are all looking good. Give yourselves some grace. Births never completely go according to plan. To think you can "plan" a birth is setting yourself up for failure. There is NO SHAME. A healthy baby and a safe birth is the PLAN!

Thank you for sharing this! I’m a doula who supports mainly home births and there I birthed my daughter - tried to at home - I ended up going to the hospital for an epidural only for pain relief and sleep after a long labour - and really relate to the feelings you went through it just feeling I can’t do this anymore. And I struggled to accept that was a part of my birth story. Thank you so much for sharing. Also love how supportive and together you and Matt are in all this. Beautiful to see your evolution as a couple and family.

thank you so much for your transparency! the personal reflection shows and it's really encouraging. thinking about your comment around women's festivals and your epidural story being perceived a certain way - we've got to be able to hold nuance, and anyone who would be shaming you for your experiences would have a lottttt of personal reflection to do as well. i also struggle with optics but life rlly just be unexpected sometimes and a lot of the hills we're willing to die on end up holding huge mirrors up to us. been watching your channel since the beginning and it's just so healing to watch you come more and more into your power.

It is so nice to see y’all again. I respect your decision to wait to tell the story when it felt right. Despite your intentional planning, research, and efforts, yall birthed a beautiful healthy bambina. There are so many wonderful elements to this story and your journey!!! Your mom and Aura were there. Though we have never met it felt like hearing from old friends. Been watching y’all since Van life, NYC, etc. (I have a lot of perspectives on why y’all were treated that way in the hospital but imma keep it lovely and fresh). They did what protocol dictated. Your love is powerfull enough to grow beyond this experience. She lifted her arm! lol my favorite part. Stay blessed y’all.

I've followed you guys for a long time and I of course love and admire your spirituality and connection to nature- but I became a mom around the same time you did and my absolute favorite thing is just to watch y'all be human parents. The toys, the treats the things that kids like.. navigating and reevaluating things like school and activities for them.. accepting that life often doesn't go as planned. It's beautiful. Since becoming a mom I've just realized that connection with my spirit can be found in just simply being a human navigating parenting in the year 2024. It's divine and colorful and messy and almost never goes the way you thought it would. ❤️

I think one of the things I have learned as a parent is that some things never go as planned and we cant shame ourselves because spirit would never want that. Spirit is here to help us feel vulnerable and raw and really shows us how complex human life is, all we can do is surrender. Sometimes surrendering doesnt feel all too good but I think that is ego ~ which is okay too, we are human. Its all a learning experience, and we are always walking each other home even though we forget sometimes, thank you for sharing your story. Lumi is already teaching you so much, your lil twin 💜 I hope you have been giving yourself extra love lately, blessings to you and your family! 💓

The trauma, the shame and the raw anger is honestly so beautiful and healing to witness and will help me and others integrate similar feelings and experiences. You don’t need to be anything other than yourself and that will be the most insta-worthy and inspirational content to share. Much love to you all.

First of all I wanna congratulate you on how much courage it took to express this story and be in your honesty of your experience. You did so great! You pushed through to your limit, and when you hit your limit you looked to your partner and wasn't to afraid or ashamed to take the next steps twords what you needed. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Amazing. Second, I'm gonna up you even more for being so shameless in the face of those doctors when expressing how you didn't need their services. Also getting out what you could about the information you did know about your pregnancy. Third I wanna express how beautiful it is to witness the love and support provided by Matt during this entire process even in the story telling and promotion of your products lol. He did so great in his birth support it's clear he did everything he could and he did it with so much love. Just seeing him look at you is so amazing. Ik it's such a blessing to have that love, and it's such a blessing to see. I wish nothing but blessings and strength in for your family. From a mother of three natural births, two home births, one free birth. You did Amazing!! You deserve all the praise. Never again feel anything close to shame about this experience. It's just as beautiful as any other.🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

My baby is 12 days old and I really wanted a pain free homebirth (with my midwife) and that is NOT what I got, like if I could have been airlifted out of there I would have😂 it was so much harder than my last natural birth and I initially felt ashamed and embarrassed by it because I feel like the free birth community and all the other pain free birth communities blame you for not “getting there” mentally but I realized it was exactly the birth I needed and it was still badass.

Wow! I don’t think you realize how relatable this is. I can’t thank you enough for sharing! I have an eight month old baby. He was born February 22 and he is my first. I went through something very similar. I wanted to have an unmediated birth, birth at home for as long as possible, have such a raw and beautiful empowering experience, and it felt nothing like that at all. I felt like I was preparing for the buildup of this moment for months and months and months, educating myself, working on my mindset, reassuring myself that I was designed to do this and me and my baby were going to have the most wonderful natural experience. My water broke, and they instantly scared me into being induced I had Pitocin, which hurt like a bitch and wanted the epidural, which made me feel shameful like I wasn’t strong enough. When my son was born, they cut the cord against my wishes and took him away to be checked on and I just couldn’t understand why they couldn’t check on him on my chest or why they had to cut the cord when he was obviously OK When you mentioned that you feltrobbed from meeting her for that first time and had this beautiful image of it that was just ripped away I literally started sobbing. later, I still am processing the grief and trauma of his birth. I still have his placenta in my freezer lol because I want to do something special with it like bury it a beautiful ceremony with my family, but I literally have shut my brain off from thinking about that experience because it hurts my heart so bad. I finally feel like I’m ready to process this resentment and grief and move to acceptance. Sorry about the TEDTalk lol I say all this to thank you again for sharing your story and being vulnerable because I know it’s not easy. birthing the humans of the world is not easy!

I was really afraid for your family and the openness you had regarding your prenatal care because I've seen firsthand how particularly people of color are scapegoated with regards to their children being placed in the system for "neglect" and then monetized within the fostercare system. I'm so glad Lumi is here and she's healthy and beautiful. Sending your family so much healing and peaceful energy :) thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story.

I’m glad you have a healthy baby. It’s good that you didn’t leave AMA because the insurance companies won’t cover your hospital bill if you do leave AMA. I loved hearing your story, don’t be a shamed for one second-please.

thank you so much for sharing! at the end of the day, you pushed yourself to your limit. who’s to say that wasn’t your intuition sending you to the hospital? with how long your labors are, you could’ve birthed maybe 8 of the quick free birth babies! comparing yourself truly isn’t honoring what your body has been put through especially for the second time. it’s just not black and white. you are so strong.

Thank you for your bravery, your authenticity and your determination to show up in your truth on your own time as you shed layers of shame and doubt of being received for how you choose to walk your path. We all have our own paths to take. So I am not here to judge. My understanding of life as a soul in a human vessel is that we are meant to include science and spirituality. To work together in unison to create something holistic and safe for everyone. safe in terms of what feels right for you as one tunes into their needs & inner guidance. It is the blending of the old ways with the new that we create something better, something long lasting, something fruitful and beneficial to us all throughout the many stages of our growth and existence. Blessings to you & your beautiful family 💗🙏🏽 Thank you again! Look forward to any upcoming videos you feel called to create and share from the heart!! 💗

Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m thankful to God that you’re alive and your little one is alive. Please DO NOT beat yourself up. Continue to give yourself grace. And dad, great looking out with the support, encouragement, being the transporter and just a great partner. So glad your mom and daughter made it to the birth. Girl! Please give yourself grace. It was already written. Blessings to you and your family!

Loved every second of this. Been following since before aura was born! I had my first shortly after you and it didn't go as planned with the homebirth/freebirth. I ended up with a blocked kidney from chronic dehydration/HG and ended up with a csection and I felt all the shame and disappointment for a while.. I did what I could with the situation I had at hand ! So proud of you guys and it's really wonderful how yall truly keep it real 💯! Bless you and your family! Xo

For some clarity- shoulder dystocia 100000% happens in home birth. I’m not sure where this information is coming from. It is due to the relationship between the fetus and pelvis alongside various factors such as fetal position/ baby’s weight/ etc. I see dystocias even in the most undisturbed births. I’ve seen moms with 4 kids have a surprise dystocia and primips with dystocias. You being in labor for 12-13 hours demonstrates there was some sort of dysfunctional relationship between your baby and your pelvis. It isn’t your fault, it just happens.
