0:00
it's officially baby day we are
0:02
currently heading to my mother's house
0:04
right now so that we can drop the little
0:06
guy off with his auntie they're going to
0:09
have some fun
0:10
today and we are going to then head on
0:13
to the birthing center so that we can
0:16
bring a baby girl into the world I'm
0:18
really excited but I'm also really
0:20
nervous all of a sudden because today I
0:23
actually just went in for an appointment
0:25
but I'm 37 weeks and 5 days and I had to
0:28
go in for an appointment today and now
0:30
I'm heading to labor and delivery when I
0:33
had Noah I was 37 and 5 days and I went
0:37
in for an appointment and then was
0:39
heading into the labor and delivery and
0:42
it was all around the exact same timing
0:45
the difference is with Noah my water was
0:49
broken during a cervical exam and this
0:51
time during a cervical exam we
0:55
discovered that my water had already
0:57
been broken there is like still some
1:00
fluid in there but some of it has
1:03
already leaked out and it's been that
1:05
way for days so that's where all of the
1:08
nervousness comes into play there are no
1:10
signs of distress in baby her heart rate
1:13
is healthy um she's breathing fine she's
1:17
been moving around and everything I
1:19
haven't had any type of fever I haven't
1:21
had any signs of infection but
1:23
unfortunately because I didn't know that
1:25
the water had broken and it has been
1:28
days at this point we still have have to
1:30
be monitored very closely after just to
1:32
rule out any infections so that's the
1:35
part that kind of has me in a whole 360
1:39
cuz I was going to go into this really
1:41
really confident and then all of a
1:42
sudden now that things are like
1:44
completely out of my control which I
1:46
know that they probably were never in my
1:49
control but now that everything is just
1:53
like nothing that I expected basically
1:56
and the fear of you know the just small
2:00
chance that something could go wrong is
2:02
there um but I know that God is in
2:06
control so that's the one thing that I
2:09
know if I just not worry and be faithful
2:12
to God knowing that he has us covered
2:14
and everything is going to be okay then
2:16
baby girl is going to be okay we're all
2:18
going to be okay I said a really long
2:20
prayer last night um you can probably
2:23
tell I never say I'm just because I'm
2:25
talking so much basically this is the
2:28
beginning of
2:30
our labor and delivery story so there is
2:35
my husband and there is Noah you guys
2:37
say hi
2:40
hi
2:42
hello one day baby girls going to see
2:44
this
2:45
video yeah right let me do it again huh
2:49
let me do it
2:51
again
2:52
hi there is Brother Big Brother
2:57
Noah and I am the best one in the whole
3:00
wide world and he is the bestest brother
3:03
in the whole wide world and there's
3:06
data
3:09
hello I'm sure you can tell from the
3:13
laughter and everything contractions
3:14
have not picked up um so that was really
3:18
why I hadn't known like that labor had
3:21
started oh wait let me get this address
3:23
to my mom's really quick there were no
3:26
like signs as far as like pain level I
3:30
guess that made me think it was time
3:31
because they always tell you that 511
3:34
rule where wait until your contractions
3:37
are 5 minutes apart 1 minute long for 1
3:41
hour that was never ever ever the case
3:44
for me besides knowing that I had
3:46
started dilating a bit and just things
3:48
like that I just didn't know that active
3:50
labor you know was starting so now we're
3:54
20 minutes from my mother's house to
3:56
drop off Noah and you guys this is liter
4:00
knows first night away from us and that
4:05
alone I'm just I just I really can't
4:08
take it there's just too much happening
4:10
in one day too many new things in one
4:13
day for me um so I'm probably going to
4:16
struggle with that sometime tonight but
4:21
um basically they're going to try and
4:23
get contraction started as soon as they
4:25
can naturally and if they can't do it
4:28
naturally Unfortunately they are going
4:29
to have to use an induction method of
4:32
like put toin or some type of Peel she
4:35
didn't even say she literally said a
4:37
little peel which does not sound
4:40
appealing to me we also have to go to
4:42
the birthing center and see if they're
4:43
going to allow us to stay in the
4:45
birthing center because when there are
4:47
all of those type of interventions and
4:49
not knowing when my water actually broke
4:52
they may or may not be able to let you
4:54
stay in the natural birthing center so
4:57
we are hoping that maybe we will be able
5:01
to they know that I'm on the way there
5:04
and they said that they knew me and are
5:06
expecting me so hopefully everything
5:10
goes well basically they want to try and
5:12
get her hair as soon as possible because
5:14
she should have came days ago um and so
5:19
to lessen that risk of infection and
5:23
things like that they want to try to get
5:24
her hair as soon as possible they're
5:26
only going to give me a really short
5:28
period of time to to start contractions
5:30
naturally on my own and if it's not
5:33
going fast enough for their taste then
5:35
they're going to do the induction
5:37
methods so praying that once they
5:40
basically break the rest of the waters
5:42
like it already like leaked out some of
5:44
it but there's still like not all of it
5:48
basically there's still some fluid so
5:50
that gives me the hope that she's okay
5:52
then that was the thing it was like I
5:53
knew it was not nearly as much fluid as
5:56
when my water broke with an NOA and
5:58
that's why I was una wear so there's
6:01
still some left so they're going to they
6:03
did a sweep already a membrane sweep and
6:06
then they're going to also break the
6:08
rest of the water bag and see if the
6:10
contractions start they also said
6:13
something about castor oil which sounds
6:15
disgusting and I'm not very fond of it
6:18
but I'm going to do whatever they tell
6:19
me to do um you know for baby sake
6:24
[Music]
6:25
so we are going to head on to the labor
6:29
and room as soon as we drop Noah off
6:32
there's husband over there
6:35
sleeping there's Grandma over there
6:39
sleeping honestly they're putting me to
6:42
sleep and I need some energy so that I
6:45
can get through this but right now we
6:49
are trying to get contractions to start
6:52
on their own and naturally they have not
6:55
yet um so right now I'm just eating and
7:00
snacking we are switching between
7:03
pumping bouncing on the box walking
7:06
lunging all of that stuff right now
7:08
trying to get the contractions to start
7:10
we're going to do that for about an hour
7:12
and then if not we'll try breaking the
7:15
water back but that's currently where we
7:18
are and it's pretty like relaxing like I
7:21
said it's making me sleepy like I feel
7:23
like I need some more energy so bounce
7:26
on this SP cuz otherwise it feels like
7:28
I'm just bouncing myself to sleep
7:30
and probably baby too
7:33
but that is currently where we are
7:35
figured this was the perfect time to
7:36
pick up the camera and Vlog a little bit
7:39
before things begin to get a little more
7:41
intense know I'm serious H I'm
7:45
[Music]
7:49
serious she said at
7:53
3 I'm trying to get her down more I
7:56
think like her head engaged
7:59
now
8:01
um I think her head isn't very low at
8:04
the
8:06
moment and so that's what we're trying
8:08
to do
8:12
now at this point we finally made it in
8:16
and got checked into the natural
8:17
birthing center and we came up with a
8:19
birthing plan to try and get
8:21
contractions to start on their own by
8:24
doing some stretches some lunging some
8:26
bouncing on the yoga ball and after an
8:30
hour passes if contractions have not
8:32
started then we're just going to go
8:34
ahead and break the rest of the water
8:37
bag and we are hoping that that is what
8:40
gets the contractions started for sure
8:43
so that is currently what we are doing
8:45
so just a little plastic stick it's kind
8:47
of just like
8:48
water your cervix and then pop it and
8:51
then I'll let some of the F drain make
8:54
sure bab side comes down with it and
8:56
then done so it's
9:00
3:30 we broke my water bag at about I
9:05
don't know 310 315 is and contractions
9:11
have finally started at about 325 and I
9:14
have already had like
9:16
four which is weird so they're like a
9:19
minute apart I don't know I'm starting
9:21
to get
9:22
worried but I also got some weird BL
9:25
cramps we'll see this is what we've been
9:29
waiting for for the past 2 weeks is
9:32
contractions there it
9:37
is you should leave that with me so I
9:42
[Music]
9:49
can Mom
9:52
train your body feeling like back body
9:55
like how's your whole body inside my
9:58
back
10:00
everything down once we broke the water
10:03
back contractions began immediately and
10:06
it only took about 1 hour for
10:08
contractions to go from being about 2
10:10
minutes apart to 60 seconds apart so
10:13
here you see one of my closest friends
10:15
surprised me I hadn't seen her in a
10:17
while so I was pretty happy and she's
10:19
pretty much helping me like walk around
10:21
a little bit and try to get those
10:24
contractions you know to actually be
10:26
productive
10:29
[Music]
10:53
okay right
10:56
okay go fast one
11:02
two it's a lot of light back
11:05
there all right she did oh it's coming
11:11
[Music]
11:23
now just a
11:28
[Music]
11:30
the world
11:33
is hair at this point is when
11:35
contractions really started to ramp up
11:38
they were Now 60 seconds or less apart
11:41
so my care team is just taking turns
11:44
helping me comforting me I'm trying my
11:46
best to stay upright like standing and
11:48
walking because this just helps the baby
11:51
to move down into the birth canal so
11:53
that the labor will be shorter and
11:55
contractions will be more productive so
11:58
there is my mother and my husband
12:00
helping and comforting me giving me
12:02
water in between and I'm taking slow
12:05
breaths in between each contraction my
12:08
close friend had just left she had to
12:10
take her son home and planed to come
12:14
back about an hour or two later later by
12:17
the time she came back baby was already
12:19
born because this entire labor spoiler
12:22
alert was only 3 hours once labor began
12:25
so from the time that we broke the water
12:27
B to the time that we birthed baby girl
12:30
was a full 3 hours so based on like the
12:34
facial expressions and everything that's
12:36
one way to tell how close you are
12:37
getting to having the baby so right now
12:41
I'm extremely uncomfortable and this is
12:43
just a Telltale sign that we are getting
12:46
really really close
13:08
oh
13:13
yeah you can water in
13:19
between when she's breathing heavy like
13:21
that
13:24
you so you guys can just
13:32
and then she should be peeing every hour
13:34
or so too when you are having a natural
13:36
birth one of the most important things
13:38
to do is listen to your body so here as
13:41
you guys can see how I'm like lifting my
13:43
foot up and you're going to notice like
13:45
I begin to like bend my knees a little
13:47
bit and things like this just tells me
13:50
that baby is really really low and this
13:53
is where you start to feel pressure kind
13:55
of where your body is sort of like
13:57
wanting to Bear Down the bending your
13:59
knees feeling like you kind of almost
14:02
want to like Squat and things like that
14:05
it's really important that you just
14:06
trying not to go against these feelings
14:09
and just go with baby and your body and
14:11
what it's trying to do this is going to
14:13
be most productive for having a natural
14:16
delivery right now we are in the home
14:23
stretch now I got you in my space I want
14:29
won let go
14:32
you got you sh in
14:39
my
14:42
you I'm so in
14:46
captured got me wrapped up in your
14:50
[Music]
14:51
touch
14:53

14:55
enamored hold me tight within your
15:01
clut
15:03
how do you
15:05

15:10
breath
15:12
why did you give
15:17
me around 5:40 my OB has joined my
15:21
Midwife in the labor room with us and we
15:24
are going to do our first dilation check
15:27
as things are getting really really
15:29
close get to that TR so then we can
15:31
[Music]
15:39
move you going to meet the
15:43
[Music]
15:50
baby
15:57
blow on you
16:00
[Music]
16:13
after checking it was determined that I
16:14
was only 7 cm dilated so my husband and
16:18
I moved to the shower while he used the
16:21
shower head to spray my back and stomach
16:23
during contractions once things got
16:26
really really difficult and I felt a ton
16:29
of pressure we moved from the shower to
16:32
the birthing tub because it is a lot
16:36
more like comforting but we only spent
16:39
about 5 minutes in the breaking tub
16:41
before it was time for us to deliver
16:43
baby girl we could actually F her
16:47
[Music]
16:52
head were close
16:54
[Music]
16:56
enough could I lost you
17:02
close
17:22
enough heart beats fast colors and
17:29
[Music]
17:31
prises how to be
17:34
brave how can I love when I'm afraid to
17:41
fall but watching you
17:44
