Unmedicated Natural Birth Vlog *Raw & Real* We Almost Delivered on the Highway

[@tristinrayment9742]

Im 21 years old, my husband and I just welcomed our baby girl Lilyana into the world Jan 20th. I also had an unmedicated birth, the rawness of this video moved me. It brought me back to the delivery room, and the memory of meeting my baby for the first time. The pain is indescribable but the love for my baby makes it all worth it. I can't believe how amazing women are.

[@mandboone1571]

I am also 21, i had my baby when i was 19 in December 2022, the pain is the worst, but it is so worth it! Cant wait to have another despite the pain!

Oh my word, yes!! 😭 Well said!! Her delivery was so much like my second. I also did it without pain medication and felt that wave of nausea before the pushing started.

Then at the end, when you delivered and Oakley started crying, my sweet baby boy started crying. Time to go feed him...thank you for sharing these beautiful, impressively important moments.

Now she is 20 and I have an 8 year old grandson by my eldest daughter. The process of childbirth is amazing, it’s a feeling I will never forget. Great video, I hope your family are keeping well xx

[@skeleton_wa_migraine1736]

Its transparent, raw & real. Thank you for it bc i learned what i did wrong & hope i can mentally prepare for my next baby. When you were getting emotional juat thinking of meeting your baby, it was beautiful how motherhood drew that primal love for your baby.

Such a powerful beautiful birth vlog! When Sage was trying to help you during a contraction, I got teary eyed and was in full on tears during those last pushes before you delivered.

[@MishaThePolly_Therian]

I loved your cave woman yells! I made the mistake of inviting some female relatives at my second delivery. I am vocal during labor as well (it helps me). During labor, my mom told me to try to quiet down since we were on day 2 being awake, and she wanted to try to get a nap. Then, at family get-togethers afterwards, my aunt kept bragging about how her daughter was so quiet during her labor. How that was a sign that she handles pain better than me! I tell you, during my next 2 births, I only had my partner! Who needs female support? Not me!

[@monicataylor7414]

Wow! My mom was so supportive but she did stress me out a little with how overprotective she was of me. But I would never have any other woman with me besides the doula (my mom has since passed). My husband’s mom wanted to be in the room and I said he’ll no. Nobody ruining my peace. Some people can be so weird about this.

[@legalfictionnaturalfact3969]

The problem isn't female support. There are tons of examples of great female support. The problem is your family sucks. Don't worry, that's true of most people.

[@TheMrPsssst]

I was following u pregnant while i was pregnant. I gave birth on the 6th of october to my second child, this time unmedicated but i wanted epidural, problem was i didnt have time for it cuz bby came out fast. I had very good experience with epidural from my first. Every momma just needs to choose whats best, and that can change when u re in the pain process. Natural birth or not, as long as the baby comes out healthy it doesnt matter if u had pain or pain relief. Scary with the few seconds he didnt breath, really cried there, emotionel seeing mats reactiob. Thank God for ur precious boy, i wish him health and love.

[@juliabrown4650]

Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable and sacred moment with us. I was bawling when you said how he was born and those moments before they cry are like an eternity. What a perfect baby boy!

I’m 16 weeks pregnant and honestly really scared about the pain and unnecessary interventions. Pushy hospital staff, c-sections, catheters… really all of it. How were you so calm and strong? Need your resilience. Congratulations!

[@chatgpt4135]

She has supportive staff, not the one who force to lay flat, expose vulva, and cut her anyway without consnet, with she having no autonomy over her dignity. Her family is allowed inside to comfort her in painful labor, she may not be forced into episiotomy, nurses aren't pushy, she can move during process and she is pushing in her best position, so you should select a care provider that treats birth as a respectful event, for that u have to clear ur doubts beforehand

[@arsonthepan4802]

If you can, try to make sure you trust your birth team. A supportive environment is the best thing

In India, there are not much hospital who let near ones like family member to heal you inside labor room, forget tge docs here don't even think women actually give birth, they think women are inanimate experimental objects on table from whose helpless body, docs remove a mass called babies, They don't inform you or tell you anything what's happening , which stage labor are you in, they just force you to lay flat on back and bend knees, for hours, put fingers in birth canal randomly , even male wardboys do without consent, put you on a machine motionless for hours, and that too with no relative beside you, and you are not allowed to touch your own body parts, meaning u are totally unaware ehat happen on other end i.e. near intimate area in sleeping position, then suddenly without you knowing, they 'CUT YOUR birh canal, press both hands forcibly on belly in fundal pressure and rudely pull out baby.

[@chatgpt4135]

Moreover, as you are afraid of staff, thinking u have no 'Right to touch u and ur baby', you lay flat speechless and voiceless and clueless on what happened to you, docs straightly take away baby from below sheets to nursery rooms, feed formula milk which company sponsered them, wash baby wear it branded diapers , swaddle, and put cap all in nursery room and then bring out baby first to show to husband or in laws or attendants came with that preg woman who are waiting on chairs in passage of nursing homes or clinic and not to the actual woman who had a child, in all this, mother is totally UNFAMILIAR of what hapoened to herself and her baby, has she got baby out of her body, who the baby is, how baby looks, gender of baby, where baby is , etc. And if no nurse tell her when baby was in nursery room she won't know what came out of her lol, which is unnatural cos In nature, a borth giver sees what she got out her body. But, in India, actual mother is last to see her own newborn baby.

I am now pregnant with my 2nd and although I had a bit of a rough run with the birth of my son that traumatised me for a while, watching your birth vlogs just gives me so much strength that I can do this again and hopefully this time it'll run smoother. It doesn't stop me feeling terrified but I can do this. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful moment and I love how honest you always are. I cried a lot throughout this video 🥲

[@kelliegriffin3370]

Literally cried watching this. Such strength us women embody during this time! You did so good girl! I felt like I understood every scream when u were pushing

[@kwhiteley8951]

This brought back so many memories…my kids are almost 16 and 12 and I can remember this vividly. Thank you for sharing this very intimate and beautiful moment. Though it is so unique and special, it is also the gift all women share. Always appreciate your sharing truth!

She is so strong 💗 I'm 14 and this literally inspired me 💗

[@andiejackson5954]

Literally started tearing up 😢 I’m 6 months postpartum now with an almost 3 year old. The second baby came SOOOOOOO FAST. Seeing you push and scream just took me back to my moment and being reminded of how strong women are!!!! JUST ABSOLUTELY amazing! Ugh…the ring of fire!!!🔥 Congratulations to you both!

[@ariamontoya1437]

I started crying when you were on your last push because it reminded me of my birth with my daughter.. I’m so proud of you mama, congrats on a healthy baby boy

[@judyderieux8484]

Thank-you for letting us be there. So,so beautiful young man. So,so happy for you 💓

[@samanthajomolina2502]

Wow!!! You’re amazing, we are amazing! I remember making the same sounds as you so animalistic and painful and telling myself after my daughter was finally out of my body crying saying that it was so hard😫😔🥹 but we did it! Congratulations Nikole! 😭❤️

[@Joraelfa]

Yes same here. After my second I remember shaking and sobbing because it was sooooo hard.

[@shuuutthefrontdoor]

OMG you are a champion! I've never cried so hard to a youtube video in my life. full on sobbing. woman are so strong! I want kids but the thought of giving birth terrifies me. Thank you so much for sharing this vulnerable moment it is really inspirational. ❤Such a special moment when you both found out the gender in the moment! congratulations!!!

[@rubyhathaway8718]

It's so nice to see a birth vlog where the mum actually screams. I've seen so many where the mum is quiet or moans and it makes me feel so weak. I like to think I usually have a strong pain tolerance, having grown up on a station in Australia. However, I screamed like somebody was trying to kill me during the pushing stages of my labour, because that's what it felt like my baby was trying to do. I still don't know how we don't die from the pain we have to go through to bring our babies into this world. Labour was both awe inspiring and terrifying. Both the best day and the worst experience of my life 😅

[@Lokadottir]

Yes, I screamed just like her once it hit the ring of fire especially. I don't get how others don't. It's like razorblades tearing you up.

[@HELLO-b1p]

Yes I get annoyed when I see women on here quite as a mouse and pushing like your getting out a feather, I have had two births so far and during contractions I’m beating on the walls, pushing stage makes me want fall out of the bed. Now I’m pregnant again and I’m telling myself be Calm like these women why are you so annoying during labour😂

[@Sammiejammie521]

Only a mother could be in unimaginable pain and still look to comfort their child. You’re so strong and this has my voice quivering it was so beautiful. We are so lucky to experience childbirth because it is such a miracle. Congratulations and great job, your baby is absolutely perfect. Merry Christmas to you guys!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

This comment was beautifully said thank you so much 🥲

[@Sammiejammie521]

@@HealthNutNutrition so welcome ♥️♥️

[@surlespasdondine]

I had the "I can't believe it's over" and "so glad i never have to do this again" feeling (we were done at two) even with an epidural. I hated pushing and the pressure, cannot imagine what it's like with all the rest you feel without an epidural. (Mine was a low dose)

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Right when it was over ahah in that moment I couldn't imagine doing it for longer, let alone again 😅

[@shirani8697]

I had to go back in the end of the vidoe to the moment Matt noticed it was a boy. It was so touching. It’s so beautiful for a man to have a son, to do all the boys stuff together. That’s the exact way I felt when my baby girl born after 2 boys at home (that I adore so much too!) , but my baby girl, she is my best friend 💙

[@elizabethfirmin5027]

So amazing but hearing your guttural screams was traumatizing. 27 weeks and this just cemented I’m getting an epidural. Holy shit, no desire to suffer so much

[@Sabrina-ut6hx]

Yes, that was traumatizing 😮 .maybe she should have gotten an epidural. I just watched another youtuber, and she was all natural as well, and she didn't scream like that. Poor husband that wasn't beautiful it was horrible.

[@nikkilynn4000]

Yep. I'm 28 weeks today and haven't gotten to that part yet but I'm definitely getting the epidural. Hope you have an easy delivery! ❤

[@CCstarzy]

​@Sabrina-ut6hx it was beautiful! Pushing is hard for mommas. You can saynitsnhorrible

[@gingerdanger6670]

Right! It's not the stone age.

[@gingerdanger6670]

Smart girl.

[@kaylaanderson6391]

Oh this made me cry. I had a very similar birth experience in July. Went to 41 weeks, was starting to feel so discouraged and scared talking about induction. Went into spontaneous labour at 41 weeks exactly. Got to the hospital 9cm dilated and my surprise gender baby was born 2 hours later. My midwife holding her up for the first time and seeing she was a big strong healthy girl was the best moment of my entire life.

[@jancyo6036]

This was so beautiful i literally cried in currently pregnant and just how empowering you were it reminds me of the strength us women have. Thanks for such a raw and emotional video ❤ congratulations on baby #2

[@marissamurin1396]

bawled through the entire thing! thank you so much for sharing this beautiful, positive, unmedicated hospital birth

[@Minecraftmami222]

You are so strong mumma. Seeing your interactions with Sage while at home made me sob as I’m currently pregnant with our second baby as well. Congratulations on your amazing birth ❤

[@NVRK279]

Cried the entirety of this video. Wow. Congratulations on the expansion of your beautiful family. ❤️

[@irelandbloking225]

Thank you for sharing your birth story. I’m due this month and up until now (37 weeks) I felt prepared for birth. Watching other women conquer birth is helping me cope with what is to come in my future

[@فاطمةالزهراء-ع4ح]

Knowing Oakley is okay and you're okay did not stop me from crying with you from the beginning. What is it about pregnancy and birth that is just so beautiful and emotional?

[@SmallGirlBigWorld_]

You have the most supportive family ever! God bless you and all of your family. What a beautiful video to watch! ❤

[@bcola2002]

Every single birth blog I watch I ball my eyes out. Such a miracle every time ❤

[@bettyglick2679]

Amazing to see how baby is comforted being on mommy. Such a precious beautiful moment 💙
