The Positive Natural Home Birth Story of our 7th Baby | BRADLEY METHOD BIRTH

[@tammyhuie]

I once met a 16 year old first time momma that had her baby at home with a midwife and she prayed thru every contraction with NO screams nor cries. Amazing Moms!

[@mikat688]

First of all, these comments are so inspiring! Mommas having more than 2 kids is so amazing to me ! So much dedication and hard work ! I’m pregnant with my 2nd and I’m freaking out , so I’m praising everyone having so many kids and so many pregnancies and labours ! Moms are incredible. Secondly , I’m going to keep watching this video to inspire and train myself for my labor !

[@jennadanielescobar4440]

Same here. Second one on the way here soon. I don’t know how moms do this time and time again!!!

[@CreamRidgeEqCtr]

The second is the most difficult transition, because this time, you already have one. It gets easier after 3 or 4, and eventually, the older kids sre great helpers. I'm so glad to see big families making a come back!

[@glitterginger]

On my 10th now. I love children. I cant imagine anything better.

[@akmarsdenutube]

You can do it! ❤️

[@moorenicola6264]

Ok, so Mamas having one or two aren't amazing?! I have two and everyone says the transition from one to two is much harder than two to three so I think I'm doing ok. My Nana had 13 in a tiny three bed house - that's amazing!

[@donnahardin4651]

You’re amazing...you remind me of my grandmother who birthed 8 kids on the farm - of course, you’re the modern version of her!! Congratulations...so beautiful. When the siblings saw the baby - it made me cry - such a natural, beautiful experience.

[@donna8212]

It made me cry too 🥲

[@rachelstacy1]

That moment made me cry too and I never cry 💕

[@bethanym4524]

I love seeing your daughter watching the midwife explain things. So cool to see the next generation of girls being raised with a positive perspective on birth, instead of a fearful one. 😊 And so sweet that your midwives interacted with your kids like that!

[@akmarsdenutube]

Her precious gaze at her new baby brother- angelic. ❤️ Fill my heart up.

[@rachelhele7827]

That’s one of the reasons I never had children far too scared to have one. Daft really my mother had 10 children five boys and five girls.

[@cathiwim]

@@rachelhele7827that’s too bad. We were made to have children, and as long as the normal process isn’t tinkered with, can be very fulfilling.

[@carolyndilbeck7654]

That’s so sad, like the comment said, glad these kids are getting a different perspective!

[@maryannbaldez6629]

It’s precious that one of your children said “good job Buddy” when the midwife said new baby has a strong heartbeat. ♥️. What an amazing experience for all of you. Congratulations!

[@maryarcher8484]

He is such a beautiful baby! God has blessed your family again,! You are so beautiful!

[@amdouglass2001]

We just had our 7th October 13th. I did an unassisted homebirth and she was my biggest at 10.4!! My biggest before her was 9lbs, so quite a difference lol. She was my most peaceful birth. I’ve done all natural with all of them, but man, having no one but my husband there was just so calming. Congratulations!!

I’m pregnant with my 5th and due in January and this makes me so excited!! I LOVE having babies. It’s one of the greatest blessings God gives.❤️

[@alive7bc]

Oh those precious moments of just staring at your new baby in your own bed while everyone else is sleeping is just the BEST! I probably don’t sleep a full 24 hours after labor. I’m always so wired and just can’t stop just thinking about the birth, being thankful to the Lord and looking at all their little features. I highly recommend home birth!

[@glitterginger]

This is me as well. I can not sleep. It is like as soon as it is over the oxytocin kicks in with breastfeeding and I am relaxed but wide awake taking it all in. I cant wait. Just a few more weeks and I meet #10. Surprise gender. I am so excited.

[@saintamerican6105]

I kept my eyes on my #1 almost 24/7 for the 1st 2 months cuz i was obsessed haha

[@jclapine94]

I was tearing up when you were talking about the first night after baby is born. I had my first 5 weeks ago. My husband was deployed from week 10 to week 39, so most of my pregnancy I was alone. It wasn’t until he was born and I heard him cry and held him for the first time that it sunk in. I’d wanted a baby for 6 years or so, so it felt too good to be true!

[@scatteredseedsofhappiness3285]

Haha I thought that was amazing too and then I remembered I was barbecueing sardines as I was in labour with our 4th baby. I would stop a little and breathe as the contractions came and and then I would go back to the sardines. (we are Portuguese so we love that dish, I was craving it that day for some reason)

[@pattyadams2338]

That look on your daughters face when she’s leaning in while the mid wife was listening to the heart beat!! ❤️ absolutely precious

[@esteraknight7716]

I was so excited to watch this! I just found out this past weekend that I’m pregnant with our 6th baby. I’ve had 5 babies in the last 5 years, all home births and all in the birthing pool (I just labored in the pool with 2 babies, and actually birthed in the pool with my other 3 babies). They’ve all been fast births, thankfully. Once contractions start, it’s usually only 1-2hrs before they are born; all healthy 8-10 lb babies! (My 5th baby was an accidental unassisted birth because I didn’t call the midwife in time and it was the “easiest” and fastest birth so far). But unlike you, I’m loud and yelling while birthing... some how that works for me lol I think I’m going to look into the Bradley method for my 6th, to at least learn to try to relax. Thank you for this beautiful and encouraging story! You are blessed and your family is blessed! May The Lord Jesus continue to strengthen you physically, mentally and spiritually! Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy! 💛

[@SerialSpinner-ss]

It's so fun to hear about your beautiful birth experience. My 2 home births were 40+ years ago and my babies were about 8.5 pounds, too. I LOVED giving birth! My experience was mostly painless. I always described it as intense pressure instead of pain. The key is in learning to relax, isn't it. I felt like my body knew what to do and I had to get out of the way and let it do its thing. You are the first other person I have heard describe their birthing experience as painless. God bless you and your family!

[@annietomerlin3858]

He’s absolutely precious, Lisa!! The footage of Ruthie with him totally made me cry. What a sweet experience for those oldest siblings. I’m so glad you had such a positive birth!!

[@Erinraewellness]

[@VanityDivined]

Are you under 25? Just wondering if it matters

[@Erinraewellness]

@@VanityDivined No, that shouldn't matter at all. I was over 25 when I gave birth.

[@gabrielevelez3430]

I used Bradley method for my 2nd and will again for my 3rd in January. It was a complete game changer. My first born was in a birth center and I didn’t really prep, fear really got the best of me and it was definitely painful. But my daughter was born Oct 2020 in a beautiful home birth. My midwife arrived and we weren’t even sure if I was in labor because I was so calm. But then I started pushing 30 minutes later and she was born shortly after. Overall, I had about 4 hours of labor that I had to actively relax for. I can also say that it was pretty much painless. Even as she was coming out I just remember thinking it was so cool that my body knew exactly what to do! Thank you for recommending that as I watched all of your birth stories and prepped with the book after hearing your experiences. I’m excited to have another home birth in a few months!

[@marquesn77]

You are living such a beautiful life, what a blessing to bring this little one into the world - thanks for being a light Lisa, when I watch your videos I think - “now that’s what Proverbs 31 was talking about” 💕💕💕

[@marge3157]

My kids are 25 almost 24 and almost 22. It's funny how when you hear a woman talk about giving birth, you go right back to your own experience. Congratulations!

I was thinking the exact same thing! 🥰

[@grandmak.]

So was I, and my experience going back almost 45 years I must say I wish it would have been that nice back then.

So true! I keep thinking where was this video 30 years ago when I only knew how to scream laboring?

[@alinasotelo125]

Yesss, my husband watched with me and said ‘that sounds like you honey’ about 20 times through out the video.

[@micheleduggan8837]

i thought the same too..!

[@dhvh6580]

I just had to say how much I appreciated this. Your story sounds very similar to mine. I'm getting ready to have my 8th and my last birth had a couple small complications. My sister had a very difficult birth for her 8th and I've been thinking that I've had pretty straight-forward births so far, so maybe it's time for a hard one. You made me change my mindset to "maybe it's time for my best birth yet." I also thought transition was just impossible to relax through. Now I'm going to try! Thank you very much for allowing God to use you to help so many have a positive attitude towards birth! God bless you and your family!

[@missmartpants2269]

She's just casually tying up loose ends around the house, aka working through early labor😳😂. So glad to see such a different view than the same old dramatic/traumatic hospital stories. Congrats on that beautiful baby boy. God bless!

[@khorner1109]

I've been following you for a couple weeks and just watched this video. I am mid-sixties and had two babies, now in their forties. They were "natural" births in that I had little and no meds, but delivered in the hospital. Sadly, my physical condition prevented me from having more. I enjoyed your account of the new baby's birth; my own babies' births is strongly imprinted in my memory as two of the best experiences I have had. This brought tears to my eyes. Blessings on your sweet family.

"Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward." ~Psalm 127:3 Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful son, whose name I didn't catch (perhaps you haven't chosen one yet).

As I told you, watching your last video I just knew you were in labor. I was a OB/GYN nurse, but have been a massage therapist for 22years. Women I have given massage to went into their labor relaxed and their labor was calm and quick. Relaxation is so important. I’m so impressed that you know your own body and what you need. He’s just a beautiful miracle.♥️ I love that the kids are so interested, so curious, so loving♥️ And that Luke is so matter a fact , calm. ♥️

[@glitterginger]

I need this. Fibromyalgia is flaring now and I know it would do so much good.

[@wellspringer]

Beautiful and inspiring story! ~ Congratulations! As a mother of 3, and grandmother of 8, birth stories are still moving to me! The Bradley method sounds like the next generation of the LaMaze method, which I learned in 1972 - back when few doctors or delivery room teams had any faith in such methods. Being able to consciously relax during labor became a kind of intimate meditation, where your job is keeping your entire body so relaxed (also, the mind and heart) so that the muscles of the uterus are free to do the job they are so well designed for without interference.

[@glitterginger]

It does truly work. I was so relaxed that the midwife did not believe I was even in labor because I had no pain, but I checked myself and knew I was 9cm. This needs taught to every young woman before they ever think of being pregnant. It will help them so much with keeping their peace and not having pain.

[@debmiller9970]

what an amazing story, and hearing the older ones say, "good job Buddy" about his strong heartbeat was adorable. I have to admit it seems odd for me to feel like part of the family just from watching this, but I am also the woman who can watch the series, Call the Midwife and EVERY SINGLE EPISODE get teary eyed for each baby born on this show and say, 'awwwwwwwwwww' EVERY SINGLE TIME. thanks for sharing the experience with us Lisa. God bless.

[@lumoswishes6269]

Congratulations! When you were explaining about the Bradley method and picturing what was happening, I did something similar during my last two labours and called it pain with a purpose rather than thinking about it hurting for no reason and it helped so much. So amazing what we can go through. You’re amazing Lisa and congratulations again on the birth of your baby. ❤️

[@deboraholsen2504]

This woman is so remarkable and refreshing! Such a beautiful person! So thankful to find this! Yes, Bradley method is the way to go!!! I had my second child through this method 26 years ago and I really did have no pain at all!!! I was so shocked that it worked!!! I had a four hour labor in which three and three quarters of it, wasn’t even sure I was in labor because nothing hurt! (Not like my first labor, with out Bradley, which did hurt.) I am so glad she is telling and teaching women about this! Most women don’t know!!!!! They experience epidurals and all the unpleasantness of the hospital!!! It makes me shudder!

I just wanted to share! Hi there! I’m a 42 year old mom of 3, my girls are 22 & 20, my son is 17! As my girls are starting to talk about motherhood my oldest says to me about 2 years ago “I think I’m gonna want to do a home birth” my response immediately was “don’t be weird, your having your babies at a hospital”!!!!! And I meant that!!!!!! You & your videos of your home births have a 100% changed my method of thinking, to the point where I’m looking into becoming a Doula (not sure how to spell that lol) so I can be right there helping my girls when their time comes on becoming a mama! I was to be their biggest supporter and know exactly what is taking place with their bodies so I’m able to help them through their experiences! I’m forever grateful to you for sharing your most intimate moments of your life to the world! Your making a difference!!!!! Thank you for showing that it’s okay to take different methods in life, & it’s okay to NOT do things just BC it’s “what your supposed to do”! Truly, from the bottom of my heart, mom to mom, THANK YOU!!!!!!! God Bless you and your whole family! They are lucky to have you!!!!!!!! ~Elizabeth

I am cracking up. I have had 7 home births and all that you are saying is totally me. Calling the midwife I am always like, I don't know, it feels like maybe something is happening but I am just not sure. The midwife always knows better and is usually in the car before we hang up. My labors are 1 hour from start to finish. But I have so much going on for 2 weeks leading up to a birth that when I finally do go I am usually 5cm and things go quickly. Congratulations again.

I’ve been watching your videos for a couple years now and it feels like we’re friends! Love love love this sweet birth story. I am 27 weeks with my 3rd and have been having all kinds of emotions about the upcoming labor and birth. Loads and loads of peace, praise God. Both of my previous births I got to have naturally at our birth center and I am planning on doing the same with this one. This is the earliest in my pregnancies that I have been able to think about labor and not be freaked out yet! Ha! I usually wouldn’t have even listened to a positive birth story just because I was not ready to cross that bridge yet until I came to it. My previous two were relatively uneventful and incredibly peaceful. Praying for a third that way as well. Thanks for the resources! I am totally gunna use the “power and pressure” affirmation, I wrote it down. I felt your victory about being able to relax even through transition!! Way to go mama!! It gave me encouragement for my upcoming birth as well. Praying blessings over your newest addition and over your healing body ♥️ rest well!

agree 100% with preparedness....having a "game plan" for how to cope with the discomfort of contractions, and also understanding the physiology of birth (what contractions are, how babies "get out") and taking away the fear...game changer!!! my first was so hard bc of all the fear I was holding onto and that I didnt understand what was happening...my 2nd home birth was a totally different experience bc I worked through the fear and educated myself about how birth happens. I also had a "plan" for how to cope. It was incredible experience.

[@saramizer1229]

congratulations! There is something so powerful and sacred about hearing a birth story. I just had my second son, first unmedicated birth and it was the most incredible experience! My recovery has been so much easier! Many blessings to y'all during this precious lying in period

[@HillsCo2006]

What a lovely story! Hello from my me of your newest subscribers! I’m from New Zealand, I am currently pregnant with #7; I have 5 girls, 1 boy (he’s #5), and this baby is another girl! I’ve never had a home birth but have really respected the idea. You have encouraged me to give it a go this time round. I have easy births with no complications and my current midwife has asked if I’d consider a home birth. I do similar to hypnobirthing, just without the actual training, just the mindset, but your description of how you fully relax while lying down intrigues me; I may try out this time. I usually sit or stand while relaxing. My previous labour was super fast - 45 minutes! - after a few hours of easy contractions where I could talk through them, so there was a rush to the hospital. I spend the whole intense part almost fighting the contractions because I refused to give birth in the car!! I was wheeled into the birthing room by a security guard while my husband found a carpark, undressed and started pushing straight away! Because of that I never got into my relaxed, calm state. I don’t want the same for this baby.

[@RebeccaRohrHome]

Children are a gift from God. Blessings to you and your little family. Congratulations on your new baby.

[@OurCrowsNest5]

Oh I love hearing birth stories! I made sure to document my last baby right in the recovery room, because I didn't want to ever forget. And oh how I wish I did this with my other kids. I remember, but not as much as I wish I did. I'm so so happy that delivery went so smoothly for you, and what an amazing experience to have your baby in your beautiful home, surrounded by love.

[@RaqVA]

So cool to hear his birth story! I just had my baby on Friday. Second induction and unmedicated birth - I would not describe my labors as painless but absolutely manageable. Like you said, visualizing the baby descending and putting pressure exactly where needed to get closer and closer to meeting us. My first labor I was lying down to be monitored and this time I was standing/ swaying until I needed to lay down to push- standing was SO much easier for me. 5 hours from first pitocin drip to delivery. Totally had the same feeling with not wanting to wait for the next contraction to get the shoulders out, I just wanted to be done! Such an interesting experience to have had two babies unmedicated- hope I’ll get to experience natural onset of labor one day!

I enjoy all of your videos & have learned so, so much from your ones using sourdough BUT today I was watching your recent birth story with some of my granddaughters and even though I’m a 63 year old mother of 4 and grandmother of 12, I can’t watch without weeping!😢 The whole process is so filled with God’s great mercy and faithful, tender love! ❤️Truly the womb is His creation and His reward😇 Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience with us. My only wish is that the Bradley method had been around back in the 80s! All we had then was something they called Lamaze which didn’t seem to help that much & I still needed narcotics!☹️ Three of my daughter-in-law’s though have used the Bradley method with wonderful success! Keep up the inspiring videos -I love your homey, family farm life❤️ 🎼To God be the glory, great things He has done!🎼

We are due with number 4 in January. Thank you for showing people that having a big family doesn't have to mean chaos. We have used the Bradley method mixed with hypnobirthing for our last 3 homebirths and planning to do the same with this one. I love your channel.

Congrats! I just had my 9th, and I’m savoring him. I’m 43 now, he may be my last, but I pray not. ❤️ God bless you!

[@mikiw4487]

How special is that! That your oldest heard him cry and come down to meet him!

[@nanasewdear]

He is a very pretty baby and seems very calm. Your oldest daughter was so sweet and interested. Blessings to your beautiful family.

[@bgrossms]

Wow God! Only Him! Beautiful baby! Beautiful story! Beautiful family! ❤️🙏

[@EnCasaConPatty]

Congratulations to you and your family and many blessings for your little bundle of joy. Beautiful birthday story 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🎉 thanks for sharing 😁

Hey, my sweet baby (girl) was born at home 26 days ago. First child. I want to thank you SO MUCH for your honest and beautiful expressions. Your videos are truly calming, inspiring and encouraging. Good associations make useful habits😉. The nights before I went into true labour with pre labour spiratic contractions, I found your home birth videos VERY helpful in my head space to be able to "bradley" birth and "husband coach" this gift from Jehovah God. We had an AMAZING midwife and assistant. Everything went very well, even with a long transition of pushing. **Thank you for your part in helping my heart be a little calmer and my confidence stronger. ***Especially thank you for your genuine non hysterical- no nonsense- straightforward and "capable woman" way about you. I love you for it and am proud to view you as a spiritual sister. Holding this miracle blessing from above in my arms after such a beautiful natural experience (obviously hard, but in a good way) encouraged by fellow ones like you (and there's very few with open minds on natural home birth ) has been a true gift.

[@samantharoseman4206]

I had a baby boy named David last Friday on October 29th at a birth center. It was amazing. 5.5 hour labor total. Water birth. This was our second baby. We took the Bradley classes before our first birth and it still helped a lot. Congratulations!

[@edefyinggravity]

What you said about bigger babies being easier to birth has been my experience as well. Of my 4 that were born vaginally (I've had 2 c-sections followed by 4 VBA2C), my 10 pounders were much easier than my 9 pounders. Congratulations on your newest blessing! ❤

[@claireangier3322]

Congratulations! Your so calm about the whole thing, your amazing. Sending best wishes to you all. 💕

[@lesliehoward887]

I watched this a week before giving birth to my #6 she was born 3 days ago. I have to say you are so encouraging! For sure this was my best labor experience, the breathing the baby out and being calm to progress labor was all my baby needed to get down. Thank you for sharing your this story. Natural birth is not for the faint of heart but is so rewarding and empowering brings you closer to God.🤰🏼🤱🏼

[@LauraGardnerYoga]

I'm watching this at 37 weeks pregnant and I love how calm you make things sound. My first baby was 2 weeks over due so I had to be induced and the whole thing took 3 days. I was so exhausted by the time he was ready to come that it's all a blur, I remember up to about midnight then there's a big gap and the next thing I remember is feeling the urge to push at 5am and I have no idea what happened in those 5 hours. I'm hoping for a natural birth at a birthing centre this time.

[@Nobrand289]

Thank you for sharing your sweet birth story. What precious memories for your children! God has certainly blessed you with a full quiver!

[@ellascottagecompany2044]

Congratulations, love listening to the story surrounding baby’s birth. What a blessing he is ❤️. I’ve never had a child, that wasn’t Gods plan, so hearing your experiences are oddly comforting. He looks like a Mason or Alexander to me. Thankful you both are healthy and well.

[@bedi09]

Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@marcidevries5515]

Oh, the tiny baby noises! ❤️ Congratulations!

[@rebeccaknudsen6190]

You're amazing! Congratulations on your newest miracle. So many new memories to make. God bless you and yours.

[@lindsaymarie4416]

I love hearing your birth story. I love talking about births. I learned Bradley method with my first and I was blessed with 2 natural births (in hospitals). My second I labored sitting on the couch from 10p until 4a when I transitioned (I got the chills and chattering teeth and I went in to wake my husband to go to the hospital). We're done having kids. But I so enjoy labor and birth stories, it makes me wish we were having more 😆

[@samanthahorst3017]

I live that you don’t do a million “cuts” in between each breath. These videos feel like chatting with a friend ❤️

[@HealthNutNutrition]

congratulations he's so beautiful xo

[@joannecinquemani6291]

Congratulations! Great story and I love how positive and enlightening you spoke. A former Childbirth educator, I was so happy to hear you describe your experience in terms everyone could relate to. I'm also glad you mentioned resting after the delivery. I used to tell expectant moms that the world's work could wait, rest is key and spending time with your new baby, priceless. Enjoy this time.

[@ИльяТихомиров-е2ф]

Поздравляю! Поздравляю! Желаю вашему малышу крепкого здоровья! Прекрасный малыш! Лайк!!!

[@herminedow7324]

lovely listening to you...I relate to everything you shared...my one question is what about that 'ring of fire'...feeling...come on now...that HURTS!

[@alexism1127]

Beautiful birth story. You are glowing with joy. Congratulations on your 7th baby. 💕😊

[@daveandlizhudson1331]

Thank you for sharing. I had a traumatic hospital birth for my daughter years ago and stories like this are so healing and encouraging

[@emilyemily7837]

He's just so beautiful!! I really look up to you Lisa, I have two girls and I can't stop thinking about having another baby, but i'm 37 and i work full time and i fear that it may not be the best idea, and then i look at you and your precious family and it really makes me want it more! Love from Argentina

[@rachellebrooke4614]

Have more! You won’t regret it!

[@tegangilchrist4550]

Do it!! You’ll never regret it but you may regret not having another one 💛 in my opinion lol..

[@allysonh6410]

I have a special needs daughter and so we thought we were "smart" not having a third child (or more) but now its 1 of my whole family's biggest regret. My 19 year old son brings it up all the time lol but I'm sure u will do what is right for your family. BTW, we would Not trade our precious girl for ANYTHING ❣🥰🥰

[@ang_131]

I had my first baby when I was 34, my second at 36 (in June!), and I’m hoping to have at least one, if not two, more. I am a professional engineer with a decade+ experience. Are my maternity leaves interrupting my career? A little. But I still managed a promotion in between babies one and two. I’m not going to give up my career but I’m also not going to let it stop me from growing my family. We can’t actually “have it all” in this world, there have to be compromises, but it’s worth it to feel fulfilled both at home and professionally.

[@justme2059]

I had 3 fairly young. My 4th I had at 37. It was more tiring-the pregnancy. All of my children I have needed oxytocin, not sure why I easily go to 42 weeks and nothing. My children are 25, 23, 20 and 7. I wish I could have had more. I dealt with many losses. If you can, you definitely won’t regret it.

[@smdunlap]

Hey!! I know in one of your videos you said it wouldn’t be anything to see while you were in labor because it looks like you are sleeping but videoing the process how you do the Bradley method would be so cool & educational. I wish I had your videos for when I was delivering my two babies. I labored at home most of it and went to birthing center but I felt allllll the pain. I never laid down and practiced Bradley method, never knew that was a thing but I wish I did. If I ever had another baby I would love to see the process in how you labor. Praying for your new little one as it’ll be any day now 🙏🏻 thank you for all the great info on natural births. Mine were pretty hard but it’s impressive how you share your birth stories and I hope it helps other mamas 😊

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

The video I shared on instagram gives a little glimpse.

[@smdunlap]

@@FarmhouseonBoone I saw it. Amazing. Congratulations on your new one 🥰

[@bekahveal7277]

My 2 year old twins keep saying “baby”. This video was absolutely amazing and I cant tell you how much us moms appreciate your real life story and tips. You’re such an inspiration to me! Your baby is perfect and precious. Your other kids are darling too! 💓

[@cindyjackson5627]

What a great birth story. I have only been following your channel for a few months but love everything about it. Thank you for validating that small babies aren't necessarily easy to birth..my firstborn was only 6# & 0.4 oz but she was coming down sideways! She'll be 32 in July and your comment about birthing babies made my day! Clearly my babies only make it to about 6# and then my water breaks, happened with both of my two kids! What a cute and alert baby. Much love & blessings to you and your family. 🙏❤️

[@cherylmiller2334]

What's his name? He's absolutely adorable! ❤️

[@lindabonomi7274]

thank you!!!! had to go back looking for his name!!!!!!

[@sallymay5272]

Just loved seeing the kids meet your baby, it made me cry! I’d love a home birth (but haemorrhages after delivery has made it inadvisable) it’s so perfect to be surrounded by those you love at that time. Congratulations. You look RADIANT by the way. Xx

[@elizakeller6658]

Yay! So happy for your fast and safe labor/delivery story 💙 I love Bradley method! We did the class because of your experience with Bradley! I was able to have an unmediated hospital birth with my first baby (he’s 3 months old now)! So very thankful for that recommendation! Hopeful for a home birth for baby #2.

[@hannahschenkenberger9408]

I used the mantra you shared, "This is power and pressure, not pain," during my water birth and it helped so much!! Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Wonderful!

[@Friggsdottir]

Same!

[@kimwilson3831]

Congratulations! Absolutely amazing.....everytime....God is so good!

[@annastrong7824]

I am 74 and I used, the Bradley method 45 years ago for the birth of my three boys. My one son married the daughter of an obstetrician. He was amazed that I went through the labor and delivery with no drugs. I still see the surprise look on his face. God bless.
