Birth can be hard, you can feel out of control, like you can’t do it. Often that means exactly the opposite 🩷 watch to the end 🥹
The sense of satisfaction when that little baby arrives after all of your hard work, unmatched✨

I was scared to post my birth vlog because I felt like I completely lost control. I felt like before my waters broke I was remaining so calm and all I’ve seen on the internet is these beautiful, quiet, or****ic births where the mum just breathes the baby out so I felt like I’d put people off labour or scare them. My waters went and then he was here in 4 minutes so my body was instantly pushing for me, I had no control in that moment, I couldn’t hold him in, I couldn’t slow it down, it was animalistic, primal, loud and that’s still a beautiful thing. Birth is powerful and there’s no escaping that, everybody is different and that’s what makes our world a beautiful place. If we were all the same life would be pretty boring. I want to empower anyone who watches this to see that you can be loud and be in pain but the minute your baby is on your chest everything disappears. All that matters in that moment is your baby. 🤍🤍 (please know that however you birth your baby you’re incredible and you should be so proud of what you did, women are phenomenal)
