[@amstergal]

I absolutely love your openness and honesty. Thank you Christine and Kalle.

[@rzrabbit]

Omgoodness, you just described the birth of my first Son. 41 years ago. On my fourth day of active labor they had to perform the c-section, it was to tuff on the babies heart. Cristina you went through regular labor AND c-section, very grueling, I was in hospital for 10 days after, it was a hard recovery. I had two more after, with recommended c-section because they couldn't guarantee that wouldn't happen again. I was told by my doctor I was "very lucky" my son survived that. All my very best to you both, it's forward from here, with new memories to be made.

[@celinagullstrom759]

Thank you for sharing ❤

[@vickiebasu1080]

What a journey with a beautiful outcome! Thank you for making the decision to share these intimate details of your lives as it helps others to understand potential outcomes as well as supporting those who have had similar experiences. Many many wishes that your lives together are filled with the understanding and love that permeates this vlog. Lovely to see that sweet little face.

[@kebhMI]

As a 76 year old mom, I will tell you that your moms are glad to be called. I've flown across the USA to take care of a newborn grandchild.

[@hiddenhand6973]

My mom was too busy when I asked for help. You are a gift to those you help. God bless you!

[@NurseyPooh59]

I have too. ❤

[@aryanahartwell3801]

I have to comment again, my dear young ones. I'm in my 7th decade and had 3 children at home. We were NEVER meant to birth alone. In better days when communities were closer and families lived nearby, Mothers, Grandmothers, Aunties and sisters all came together to help the birthing mother. They boiled the water, they placed cool rags on momma's forehead, they held her hand, they calmed her and helped her breath...and when the baby was born, they fixed meals and cleaned laundry for weeks afterwards. It takes a village. They were the midwives of the day and in service afterwards. I'm so glad you reached out. It's the natural thing to do.

[@lenavalavani8887]

Mother is always love involving bond.You shouldn't show your little treasure on camera.respect his privacy.

[@Marie-yx5ie]

@aryana I am 66 I had 4 children in hospital. I wanted to have my last child at home but the doctors said, if anything went wrong you would never forgive yourself, I was 25 at that time so that scared me. My grandmother and my mother had all their children at home, just myself and my brother was born in the hospital. They should listen to mother's and father's too.

[@Marie-yx5ie]

What a beautiful couple your are and I am sure you will rare a beautiful loven adorable young man. I am so so sorry to hear of your experience. You both knew exactly what you wanted and as you said you were a team.. They gave me medication on my first child to speed up my contractions and then when I wanted to push, they made me wait for over 2 and half hour's. My little girl got really bad jaundice and was taken back into the maternity hospital, I was in an annix a good bit from the hospital. She was there for 6 day's under light's I couldn't even hold her. I only had her home and I hermitaged I received 3 pints of blood and I was I hospital for a week. O my goodness it was terrible. That little girl is 46 years old my beautiful daughter she has 2 children by c - session 🙈🙈 it was so traumatic for her. I would not allow them give me any medication on my other 3 children. There is lots of good dulla/ midwife that come to your home and look after you through out your whole pregnancy. As your husband said the woman should not have to leave her home, they should come to her and there is dullas that does. The best of luck, you beautiful family 👍😉🇨🇮☘️Eire /Ireland

[@ofirshorshy8281]

Today at least where I live. There are communities that when there is a new baby for a family, all the community is cooking and helping them. and I cooked for already 2 new families, and I think it is not so common in the cities. is it?

[@magicalpatterns]

How sweet 🙏🏼 I never had that and I became severely sick because of not having any help, just my husband but we know when need more than that.

[@jonnajinton]

Ohh I cried so many times watching this. Thank you with all my heart Kalle and Christine for sharing your journey, both the ups and the downs, so openly with us ❤ This so was so beautiful in every single way!

[@KalleFlodin]

Aw, thank you for taking the time to watch it Jonna! I'm so happy it resonated with you ❤️

[@hannahgraham-devries8805]

Sending hugs!

[@beasubjakova]

Oh...as mum of twins, I went thrue c-section too...totally understand you guys. Your story is so touching. Christine is such a fighter!!! Wish you all the best. I cried with you almost the whole video.

[@leahwilson8930]

The emotion you showed when describing your Mom taking the train to be with all of you was lovely. As a Grandma I can tell you, there is no place on earth your Mom would have rather been than right there with you, Christine, and August!!!

[@judyschepp8748]

Agree🎉🎉🎉❤

[@ldirk58601]

Calling your mom was so very wise.This made me weep. I am so grateful you all came through this to be rewarded with such a beautiful boy. It takes a village.

[@InsideSubjectivity]

31 years ago my first birth went the same way as yours and now I can cry for the first time. For you but also for myself and my son

[@KalleFlodin]

❤❤❤

[@lathavaratharajan5071]

Yes me too same,

[@perle13930]

❤

[@frederiquebee5637]

❤❤❤❤

[@aoukaki]

My birth went the same way but I don’t have bad feelings or bad memories I chose not to…because I have my beautiful daughter and that’s the point…you have your beautiful baby the rest is history look forward I wish you all the happiness…

[@dagowopm]

I'll tell you what... the love you guys have for each other is what made me cry watching this. You are very blessed to have each other and your beautiful son is lucky to have you.

[@KalleFlodin]

That's sweet of you to say ❤ It's truly amazing how something so tough like this can bring you even closer together ❤

[@ceciliakjar8383]

I don’t think people realized how intense and serious a cesarean birth is. Thank you for sharing your experience. Blessings for your baby and family. 🫶

[@GZee-b9s]

Now i understand that you are in Denmark. My parents immigrated to Canada from Denmark when they were pregnant with me but I love to see you living and loving family life in Denmark!! I feel the connection ! Blessings from Vancouver Island BC Canada !

[@aruvielevenstar3944]

I understand if your mindset was a natural home birth and it ended as a c section and 4 days of labor, it is traumatizing. Keep in mind he is alive, Kristina is alive. A birth can never be predicted. The love you give as parents to your beautiful son is all that matters even though you couldn’t cuddle him right after the birth and wasn’t able to breast feed him right away. The fact you do this now is all that counts and I am sure he will grow up as a happy child with parents like you are. ❤ Love from a mom from the Netherlands ❤

[@sallyannc3176]

So important to have realistic expectations - and just be thankful that medical help is there when needed. Too many young people are set up for the myth of these 'natural' births and are then more traumatised when things don't go according to their plan.

[@gillbennett9784]

42 years ago everything went wrong for me and I had a long labour then an emergency c section under a general anaesthetic, my partner wasn’t allowed to be there and my son was whisked off to the special baby unit. He was 5 hours old before I saw him and it still upsets me to think about it so I know how devastated you felt. But I can also tell you that he is now a healthy, happy father of 2 and I went on to have a second child 2 years later who was delivered normally so one C section doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t have a better experience in the future. This video was so full of love and we all send our love back to you.❤

[@deborahschrock3789]

Many of us do not get the birth experience we planned for or wanted. I’m so glad that you have been able to find sweet memorable moments in the midst of it. I bet your mom was very honored to be able to help you. What a sweet baby you have! I also had to recover from laboring and a C-section. I think I was tired for 9 months!!! Enjoy your little family! I’m glad every thing was good in the end.

[@madisonlee6752]

Little August is lucky to have such loving parents. Congratulations 🎉

[@LauraMalvaso]

It must be hard to share something so personal and intimate on KZbin. Thank you for doing it anyway, for being open and vulnerable, as I find so much value in that ❤

[@KalleFlodin]

It's actually both really scary and a privilege, to have a community being so supportive when you share something like this ❤

[@amstergal]

I love the gentleness you both have, so touching to see your emotions, your tears. Your son is adorable. Thank you for sharing your birth story and your beautiful hearts all in your time, when it felt right for both of you. Much love precious, August. ♥

[@MadeByAnastasia]

This was so emotional. Christine is a total warrior and did everything she was supposed to do. August is totally gorgeous but you’re right, please protect him from the internet and all the surveillance and weirdos. You just all radiate love. Love and prayers to you ❤️

[@arielsimpleliving]

Oh my goodness. You poor things. What an experience. I wish you and your family all the best, happiness and healing. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@FreckledGemini]

If only all humans were this gentle with one another. You two, now three, are beautiful! ❤️ Thank God for Moms

[@RossiPreissler]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful birth story! So happy for you both. It did bring up many memories. April 1st, 1989 my 8.3 lb baby boy was born - emergency c-section bc after 30 hours of labor, I did not dilate past 5 cm. I live in the US & the surgeons called it right away - the monitors were showing the baby was starting to be in distress & my blood pressure was way up. Everything turned out right perfectly, thankfully. Seven years later, my daughter was born via c-section. Thankful to G-d and the medical team. Blessings upon you both! you both are a very good and loving team! Strong too! 🙂

[@teresamc7630]

What an ordeal... but that first cheek against cheek! 💞 ...and the reunion with the girls! 🥰 And August is so cute! 🩵😍 Congratulations and all the best for all ❤️

[@sunnie3723]

You both moved through your birth experience with such love and grace for each other and your son . Hes beautiful. I'm so happy for you both . Congratulations

[@sanjacotting6921]

It made me cry with the scene where Kalle put him cheeky to cheek. So brave all three of you!❤

[@edelmandomingueslaw]

Yes, that is so powerful moment. I guess there was some personnel to help it to be in camera?

[@mjmomo541]

I was glued to the screen, smiling and crying with you. Thank you for your honesty, vulnerability and authenticity in sharing this. CONGRATULATIONS to your wonderful family (including your mum, Kalle, your friends who looked after the dogs, etc.) for being such an amazing team!! 🤍

[@QuesttoFIRE]

I just have to say hurray!! 🥰🥰 Hurray for Christine’s strength and resilience, hurray for Kalle’s unwavering support, and hurray for Kalle’s mom for just being an AWESOME MOM!! ❤❤

[@bonnie5601]

Hello and so THRILLED you have that precious baby! I am a Registered Nurse for almost 46 years and we always are looking out for the safety of both mother and baby and being in active labor that long is not good. Thank God, all turned out well. One day when your son is 16 years old and he’s giving you both a hard time, you can tell him how he owes you! I did that with my son who kept me in labor for 3 days! You have been tested as a couple and have surpassed your own expectations. Congratulations again! You are truly Blessed. And he’s a big boy!!!

[@irenedavo3768]

Three days!

Your baby son, August is so very precious. He sure is handsome. You’ve been through so much within your pregnancy, labor and delivery. Truly, both of you have become beautiful parents. Your little family is now flourishing as you’ve dreamt it would. Kalle, your Mother coming to help and care for all of you was such a blessing. Family is everything. Enjoy all your moments, together.

[@robinhart1390]

Thank you for sharing your birth story and being so vulnerable. Your son is a sweetie pie. He was sucking his fingers toward the end of the video, so he seemed like he was needing to suckle. You two are a beautiful family, congratulations❣️❣️

[@OssoLily-ix5vz]

🦊 Mercy that y’all had to endure such difficulties of birth. Kalles compassion is priceless and, placing Baby cheek to cheek with Mommy was the sweetest thing ever! Congratulations, August is beautiful!

Such a beautiful baby boy! Christine you are glowing, Kalle you are also! Congrats!!! This is one lucky boy to have you two as his parents!

You went through so much. 😢❤🌸🌻🌞 you are such beautiful people. It was so absolutely heartwarming to see the doggies greet you. Your son August is so precious. He looks like daddy’s boy.

[@gabrielleszafir]

My heart, love, and deep deep compassion goes to you and Christine 🧡 Everything that you're feeling and experiencing is so valid and understandable. Christine, I hope you know, truly, that you did not fail in any way. Thank you for sharing your story, clearly from the comments, this is medicine for people to know that they are not alone. Huge CONGRATULATIONS you two, may you continue to find healing from this experience and such love with each other. Sending love 💕

[@UnalomeArt]

welcome to earth little August, you have chosen very sweet parents, that you may grow into a loving person ❤️🥰

[@ericabellew8809]

Oh my, I hope talking about this brings you some peace. I’m so sorry. My first birth didn’t go how I imagined either, but yours is on another level. I’m so glad you got help from family and I’m so happy you’re all healthy now. ❤ he’s beautiful!

Your story is rich. How much cooperation, loving trust and fortitude you experienced together. August is precious, as are his mom and dad. Bear hugs to Kristen and Kalle…baby bear hugs to August.

[@PhotoSchmotoKaren]

What a beautiful boy... ❤ I teared up right along with you both. I'm glad that painful time has passed. You can now enjoy your August... and the wonderful life you share! Congratulations to you both! ❤❤❤❤❤ (A heart for each of you... including the pups of course!)

[@julie_loves_monet]

Thank you for sharing your story. It was so brave. I went through a traumatic birth with my son and I understand the fear and emotional distress. So glad the two of you have your beautiful baby boy. It fills my heart to see the love you share for one another. Please do everything in your power to nurture and cherish that love. Blessings to you all.❤

[@BelindaSpoor]

Here I am crying my eyes out because you have brought back memories of 40 years ago… when I went through some of the same things as you. My labour was also induced medically and I can attest to the incredible pain of those contractions. Then, I had to have an emergency C-section because the contractions were too hard and crushing my baby who was very small. Thankfully, I had two other babies several years later and was able to birth naturally and it was such a beautiful experience. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

[@ionawoodart]

OMG, I was crying! What a story, fortunately with a happy ending. Thank you for sharing this difficult, vulnerable, yet wondrous and honest story. You guys are each other's rock! Your son is lucky to have you as parents!

[@CreamyJalapeno]

Wow. I resonate so much with your story. My water broke at 36 weeks gestation. I never progressed past 4cm despite hours and hours of pitocin and an epidural. I had very much wanted a natural unmedicated birth, but ended up with a C-section. It was terrifying. It took me many years to get over the disappointment of what was essentially a traumatic birth. They kept him away from us for observation for 15 hours and they fed him formula. I was so upset. My boy is a healthy, amazing 14 year old today. I'm so grateful he's here and healthy. We have such a beautiful life and family. Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful baby boy!!!

[@tarey05]

Your mother, Kalle, must have been thrilled to get ur call to learn that you needed her! A mother's dream! Thank you so much for sharing ur beautifully emotional testimony of ur baby's biirth! Ur both so incredibly strong (Christina, ur amazing) and cutie pie August is the gift u both worked so hard to bring into this world!! Many blessings to you and ur adorable little family! ❤

[@sherriepiechowski4556]

I am so sorry you had to go through such a tough time in childbirth. It is heartbreaking to see you struggle and suffer once again but thank God you reached out and got some much needed help and love from his grandma. (Us grandma’s are so willing and ready to help wherever we can!) plus it helps us to bond with them too! Congratulations and welcome to the world baby August! May God’s blessings be on you all the days of your life!

[@sabrinamorgenstern8307]

Thank you so much for sharing your birth story and your tears! And I am so sorry you had to go through this!

[@lorrie4079]

You both are wonderful parents to this very beautiful child! I had to stop the video more than a few times to wipe away tears. I love his name - August. ❤

[@lisaalvarez3111]

I cried so hard during this. My birthing experience was very horrific and to hear that someone else's didn't go as their plans...makes my heart hurt bc I know that feeling. And the PURE exhaustion that words cannot even express after having an exordinarily hard labor. 🙏🏽 You are blessed and so is the baby. The world is not perfect but we make do the best we can. Your gentle voices and positive outlook are cherished. What a brave warrior of a woman you are. You all have done so well.

[@Americanmapping44]

Same here I went through such a horrible birth and none of my wishes were met and then the bond with my baby was not there and I had severe postpartum depression and having nearly died during the birth it was just all too much but I'm so glad Christine got to have that 1 moment with her son and that Kalle was by her side as I was unfortunately without my husband due to him being not allowed to come to my country, but my mother was there and I am so grateful for her.

[@lisaalvarez3111]

@Americanmapping44 birthing can be extremely traumatic. The thing I love about this video is their focus on the positivity while still acknowledging the pain but not letting it consume. It is a hard thing.

[@pamelar5868]

Thank you for sharing the story of your son's birth, but most all of, thank you for sharing him in the video! How kind of you❤. And awesome name!❤❤

He’s such a beautiful little person and I’m honoured to have met him ❤️

[@joanmacmillan4461]

I couldn’t and can’t stop crying seeing your beautiful baby boy and the strength you have had to endure Christine throughout your labour and after giving birth! God bless you both with the most beautiful little boy. Shower him and each other with boundless love. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ShoshanasCabana]

Thank you for sharing such a tender story , a beautiful little family , and so many tender moments, relatable as a mum. I too had some tears when you mention your mum making her way on the train too. It all sums up the beautiful fragility and miracle of life and our families. I’ll remember also , your precious baby shares my birthday too. God bless you❤

[@megantorri1711]

So wonderful to meet August! I definitely understand how it was hard to talk about his birth with us, sounds like you both went through so much.❤

[@nane5159]

Dear ones, I am so sorry that everything turned out differently than you had hoped. But all that matters is that you got through it and your little boy is healthy! It wasn't easy for me to hear your story because I had almost exactly the same birth with my first child - including a terrible midwife. I can understand your thoughts and feelings - especially Christine's. You are such a strong team! All the best to you and your wonderful little family. ❤

[@colleenerickson1176]

What a beautiful baby that is blessed with such loving parents ❤❤❤

[@aryanahartwell3801]

This was difficult to hear and feel your distress. I cried for you both. I felt your physical and emotional pain. I'm so sorry it was like this for you. I'm glad you were able to have a healthy baby boy. The best to all three of you.

[@BettyKoehler-zg5sv]

Oh Kalle and Christine, I hope you can feel the hug I send both of you. I really appreciate how hard it is to share your story, and hope in doing so it helps your healing. 🙏🙏. Your love for each other is remarkable, and your little boy is so fortunate to be able to grow up surrounded by such profound love. Even your dogs know it! August is so adorable….so nice to meet you, August! Wishing each of you much happiness, and a life filled with love, sunshine, and rainbows! Love from Pennsylvania, USA 💕🌷🐻

[@malveenbiddle1356]

He is absolutely beautiful. It would be lovely to see the baby from time to time. This was a very emotional video with a very happy ending.

[@catrionahaston1420]

As a midwife of many, many years, all I can say is that first births are just SO unpredictable regardless of how well-prepared you are. I'm just so delighted that you have such a happy, healthy wee boy who you are both so in love with. He couldn't have a better start in life. Bless you all xx

[@shawnahess557]

I don't know you, have never before watched your channel. Your story was so beautifully told. Watching you together as a couple, your comforting touches, squeezes, and support for one another is inspiring. As a midwife for thirty years, I have been astounded in the last three years or so to see so many traumatic births, miscarriages, etc. Things are not as they were ten years ago.

[@Ren382]

Mamas are such warriors. You are such a warrior, Christine.

[@elizabethcurtiss2497]

I labored for 42 hours with my first. And yes, those doctors do push to get those babies out quickly. You are so incredibly strong to make it 4 days! And good job supporting each other through that process!!

[@karinbreidel7957]

You two are such an amazing example of how such a traumatizing experience can be turned into incredible love and even deeper bonding by LOVE. It could have turned out quite differently, lack of bonding, stress on the relationship ... but you two are true alchemists, creating magic by turning a rather heavy dark experience into pure gold. Very inspirational. Wow. And also thank you, Kalle, for showing us, other young men and (potential) fathers also what a strain such an experience puts on the men - and they have to be so strong for their women who are in deep suffering. Phew. La condition humaine is certainty not an easy one. And you are such lovely parents and your son is such a precious little gift. ❤❤❤ thank you so much for sharing! Much love from a mum ❤

[@GaryDerry11]

Thank You - You have just shown me one of the most important moments/lessons I have seen in my life!

[@RoslynDawson-et2tn]

What a beautiful baby! The two of you went through one of the most difficult deliveries I have ever heard of. Christine, the term warrior pales as to what you really are. So strong, both of you. Love each other and enjoy your new August.

So much love to you beautiful parents. Your son is meant for you two. I wish I could reach through the screen and give you both a huge hug for everything you’ve been through… what a journey that I’m sure will take time to fully process.
