i almost gave birth in the hall... FAST 2 Hour Labor & Delivery // Unmedicated VBAC of my 4th Baby 

Hi! I just gave birth to my second baby one month ago. Have been following your channel throughout this pregnancy because I am also a Christian mom, and our due dates is so close, I feel like we are walking through this journey together. I love watching your daily lives with your kids, it gave me so many inspirations. After listening to your birth story, I am so touched and I want to share with you my birth story as well. It is a bit similar, only that I didn’t make it to the hospital. So I found out my baby was breech at 32 weeks, I was praying to the Lord for the baby to turn and so I could have a natural delivery. But it didn’t happen. At week 37, I talked to my OB and had my c-section scheduled two days before my due day. At first I was doing everything that I could to turn the baby naturally, but in my prayers the Lord told me specifically not to do anything but wait upon Him. I was hoping maybe the Lord will make baby turn miraculously right before the c-section. That two weeks was SO stressful! But I obeyed God anyway and gave up all human interventions. At that point, I already accepted the fact that I might have a c-section. But then at 38 weeks 2 days, in the middle of the night, I started having some mild contractions. They were a bit irregular, so I thought to myself, it must be Braxton hicks, so I went to bed. But the contractions didn’t go away, I woke up and took a shower again, thinking I might need to get checked in the hospital. But to my surprise, things escalated real quick. My contractions went from not painful to super painful all of a sudden. At that point, I still thought we could drive to the hospital ourselves., but oh man, the contractions grew so painful I couldn’t even stand. By that time I realized I probably couldn’t make it to the hospital, I panicked big time coz’ my baby was still breech! I cried out to God and meanwhile my husband called 911. My husband asked me to go back into the bathtub. I filled the tub and found out that there’s some blood in the water. The cop first arrived and he asked me not to push yet (I thought to myself: how is it possible?!), coz’ my body started pushing real hard, when I reached down I already felt the amniotic sac…a few minutes later when the paramedics arrived, I stepped out of the tub, and my water broke right there. I stepped out of my bathroom and saw that they put a lot of towels on my hallway. I felt that my baby was already coming out so I got down on all fours, my husband shouted, oh I see the foot! And then, right there I started pushing, within 2 minutes, my baby was born. She was born breech (one foot first, and then another foot, and then one arm, shoulder, another arm, another shoulder. And then finally the head) from the not-so-painful contractions to the baby was born, the whole process was less than an hour long. According to my friend who came to pick up my older daughter (and happened to witness the whole thing), the paramedics were terrified, it’s until my baby was born, totally safe and healthy, and I was ok, that they started breathing again. And though it’s a breech delivery, I didn’t bleed much, I could walk right after delivery, and my baby was very pink, no sign of suffocation at all. The paramedics even told me they wanted to give me a star because I kept the place so clean lol. It was a total, absolute miracle. To this day I am still in awe how the whole thing played out. Our God is so faithful and powerful and creative! I can’t praise Him enough! Glory be to God!

Dear Delilah, I am not a religious person, but I believe so much in people’s faith. And I was this entire pregnancy hoping you would have your prayers heard. I am so happy for you for having a beautiful, healthy and fast birth. It is so beautiful to follow your family and watch your approach as a woman and momma! Congratulations. This little girls is so lucky to be born in such a family. Sending you guys tons of love 🖤

Its such a small part of this video, but you saying "No, I don't want to lie down" was so impactful. Im such an obedient patient that I never thought to say "no" during my first two births. Looking back there were some things I realize I would have preferred to do differently and seeing someone like you say "Nope, don't wanna do that" makes me realize I might say "no" next time too. Thanks for sharing.

So refreshing to hear a provider to say “breath this baby out” 🙏🏻

I cried so much watching this. It reminded me of the home births I've had. The feeling is indescribable

I had our third baby 3 months ago, our first daughter. It was a pregnancy where we prayed for God to sustain her the whole time, every week. I also went into labor on the due date, and she was born after only 3 hours of labor! It was my first natural birth, and also right after a preemie. I cried when you talked about the feeling of relief when you held her. I know that feeling well!!!! Praise God.

I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 3rd so you know I’m crying 😭 What a beautiful birth story. I was praying that you would get your VBAC and I’m so thankful you did!

I also have fast labours and my history not being honoured is definitely a pet peeve (and my husband’s greatest fear). With my first, I had a similar experience to you. They tried to put me in a wheel chair to get me from triage to a labour room and I refused. They wheeled the triage bed to the labour room and I pushed the whole way. Baby arrived minutes after I was on the bed in the delivery room. With my second, my midwives took me seriously and got to me (we had a home birth) with time to spare, and I am so thankful. Currently pregnant with my third and looking forward to another beautiful home birth.

A beautiful story. Made me cry when you were talking about the actual birth as in her head and pulling her out. How special!! Congratulations

What a beautiful story, I had goosebumps the whole time. Praise the lord that mama and baby are doing well and that everything turned out wonderful. Congrats on everything Delilah, to you and your whole family.

This has me in tears!! What a beautiful experience! Your birth was VERY similar to mines. I, too, almost gave birth in the hall. I know the pain when it was the most intense after my water broke. Once it broke, I gave birth within 5 minutes! Only pushed 3 times and she was out! Yes the doctor also manually extracted 3 small blood clots and THAT was THE MOST PAINFUL THING I’ve ever experienced! It was worse than birth pains for me in my opinion but glad everything went smooth after that.

You are literally glowing!! 😊

I had watched your birthing video not once but twice. It was the most miraculous birth I have ever seen. I cried when you described looking down and seeing her face, your hand on top of her head. Then lifting her up to you. At that point I had falsely assumed the Dr had handed her up to you. Now we know that you yourself pulled her out and up to you. That was just so miraculous and wonderful. There was a moment where we saw how the birth affected Zack as he squeezed your shoulder, you likely never felt it but his knuckles started to change colour, it was likely when you pulled Anna up to your chest that he relaxed. I would say if you delayed by just five minutes leaving for the hospital, Zack may have found himself delivering Anna, in the car. You were so in control of every moment of the birth. We are so fortunate that you have sat down to recorded every moment of your birthing story and to share it with us. Thank you for filling in that one blank spot, it isn't something very few would ever witness in their life time, including the delivery team. Of pulling your own baby out too complete the birth.. Then to hear what happened after that, with what your Dr did to stop the bleeding. I honestly think he simply followed your example and did what he felt was right in that moment for both you and himself. I would guarantee everyone there to witness your birth, had never seen a birth like it. I am certain your birthing story is going to be repeated many, many times during the life time of all who witness the miraculous birth of Anna Beth. Praise be 🙏

Wow!!! Oh, Delilah! This birth was everything you always wanted! I'm in tears, how beautiful!

Our God is so amazing!!! I had the same redeeming birth in the car only 1.5 hours and with no pain at all because I prayed and asked Lord for that miracle. He is sooo faithful, all glory to our Lord! ❤

Mom of 4 here, I got to pull out all of babies and it's the most beautiful and euphoric experience! My heart is happy that you got to have this experience! 💓

What an amazing story! I didn't realize while watching the birth vlog that you pulled her out. Hearing you describe that made me cry (which is funny because I would never want to do that haha). I think the Lord really used your videos to help me with my pregnancy. My twins are almost a nonth old now. From 33-36 weeks, I thought I was having a C-section, but at my very last ultrasound, I got cleared for a vaginal delivery. My induction was 5 days later. My birth experience was so redemptive. I also thought I was going to have a hallway baby because they deliver twins in the OR and didn't move me until I was 10 cm. That was a brutal time being rolled from the delivery room to the OR. The also banged my bed into the wall a couple times. My husband said he could tell it hurt by my expression. Once I got to the OR, I realized I had to focus on my nurse and my husband and no one else. It was definitely overwhelming how many people were in the room. But then they finally told me I could push. My daughter came out in 3 pushes and very little effort. My son was transverse, so the doctor had to flip him head down then I was told to push. I didnt feel the urge, but I trusted my nurse and he came out in 4 pushes. My son ended up needing to be in the NUCU for 15 days, but we're all together now. And this was my third pregnancy and first positive birth story. The Lord is so good and I'm thankful that I had your videos as a means of reminding me of that during my whirlwind of a pregnancy.

this sounds SO similar to my 2nd birth. 9 cm in triage, barely making it to the delivery room. the involuntary pushes your body does is amazing..I didnt even make it into a gown until after delivery, but man it was quick and intense! thanks for sharing your birth story, congratulations to your family!

Just cried so hard. I was praying for your birth and am praising God for His blessings to you 😊

It’s beautiful that you brought her up on your chest 😢 you actually delivered your own baby ❤

I love all of this so much. Your birth story is so beautiful! God is so good!

You look so beautiful in this video! And the birth story brought me to tears. Wonderful. Congratulations!

What a beautiful birth story! I laughed at some parts and cried at others. Birth is such a beautiful and miraculous thing. Thank you for sharing your beautiful birth story and your pregnancy journey. Sending you and your beautiful family so many blessings 💓💓💓

Wonderful. I know you partially told your birth story earlier but this was great to hear more details of.

You inspire me to be a better mama ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤GOD is GOOD 🙏

Crying… thank you for sharing your entire journey of faith and trusting the Lord… He is so good and His goodness shines so brightly in this testimony 💗

Ahh Delilah!! I love this so much and I’m so obsessed with your content. Thank your being such an inspiration to me and I love watching your videos. You are so sweet to Anna Beth and I love how you care for her. Ilysm and I hope you’re having an amazing day 💕

I love your family your videos and the yt community that you've built❤amazing work🥰

How absolutely AMAZING that YOU did it 💯%. Congratulations 🎊

Delilah, your birth stories give me so much hope and peace for childbirth that I fervently pray is in my future ❤ There is no fear for those who are in Christ ❤

Such a beautiful birth story. I am so so happy for you. God is so good! 🥰

Congratulations! I am 35 weeks pregnant, going to give birth in a different country than my other 3 kiddos so I'm a bit worried. I know exactly how that post delivery blood clot thing goes-I had it with my second! It was sooooo painful and a horrible thing to go through. My sister saw and fainted, she had to leave the room. I pray to God the same thing doesn't happen this time around. I remember the doctor pushed sooooo hard on my tummy I was trying to push his hands away from me 😳 that labour lasted 50min, I was induced via drip, no medication. It had traumatised me for sure. But here we are, pregnant again 😂 thank you for sharing your beautiful story. I watched the delivery video, I cried and showed my kids too. The moment babies come out and stretch their arms and little fingers out is so precious and cute ❤

So beautiful❤ Thank you for sharing. I’m due with my first little girl in two weeks and this was very encouraging. I have similar labors, fast!

This was such a beautiful birthing story, and it has brought me to tears! So happy for you, Delilah. I am so glad that it was just the birth that you asked for! ❤ praise God! He is so good!

I’m losing it just balling! So beautiful!

Praise God!! What a redemption story and so beautiful how God cares about the little details!

So amazing!! God is so good, and your testimony is proof of that for me this morning! Love that you got to pull her out yourself, oh my goodness!

GOD IS SO GOOD!!! You are so strong Delilah ♥️

God’s mercy and grace is so wonderful 💖💖

Congratulations and thank you for sharing your story 🫶🏽

Please pray for me to have my vbac too. I'm currently 26 weeks pregnant with my second, and I had an emergency c section the first time, but now everything looks good, and the doctor says I can have a trial of labour. So I'm hoping to have my dream birth this time😊 I'm so glad you did. I'm sending you lots of love and good energy 💞

Wow. The way that you were able to be the one to grab her and pull her up to yourself. I am so in awe of you right now.

When you pulled her out, I cried. That is such a beautiful moment ❤

I'm sooo blessed by your testimony Delilah! God is there every moment of it❤ Made me reminisce of my 5 birht stories too where His Almighty Hand was evident through and through. Praise God!

I cried!!!! ❤ to God all the glory ❤

You pulled your baby with your own hands 😱 Hats off ❤

OH GOD IS SOOOOO GOOD!! So many prayers and Love surrould You!! Love this!!

Amazing story, thank u for sharing Delilah!

When I hemorrhaged with my second the ob also stuck her whole arm inside me several times. I remember it was such a weird sensation but I was focused on the baby I didnt know exactly what was happening.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful labor and delivery story. Many congratulations🩷

Such a little miracle ❤ She’s so adorable 🥰

Not been this quick for one of your videos in a while! I always love your updates but I hope you’re getting time to rest ❤

Do you have a video on where you got your button and smocked dresses you wore during pregnancy? They’re so feminine but also look so comfy!!!

I just found out that I’m pregnant 🤰🏻🙈 this video comes on the right time! 🥰 7weeks now

Wow, God is soo good! ❤ Happy tears over here with my 8 month old next to me.

Big one! Glory to the Lord 🥰 and so much needed encouragement to trust Him. over here so much needed right now in my own journey about same dream 🙏🏻 hug and love!

You are a wonderful mumma ❤❤❤❤

The biggest congratulations!

So beautiful! Praise God!❤

Delilah, could you make a video of must haves for first time mommas? Thank you so much for sharing your birth story! Praise the Lord!!

Such a beautiful story

Crazy how similar our stories are! I had partial placenta priviara. It moved and i was able to deliver vaginally, i had a 1.5 hour labor but unfortunately hemorrhaged and had a manual extraction of clots and a blood transfusion

What a beautiful testament to God’s love and power. He truly answers prayers!

Delilah.. It's exactly happened with me.. But for my first baby.. You are right that prays do work in pregnancy either you are Christian, Muslims or hindu.. If you trust in your source, Allah, god or bhagwan.. He do listen and gave you whatever you wish.. I do believe specially in pregnancy.. Moms should pray more for baby and healthy delivery.. Only he is the one to decide.. Dr is just the person to help but all written in destiny what you prays for❤❤❤❤❤.. Thank you for sharing your experiences

You did the Kourtney Kardashian birth ❤ lol jk What a beautiful birth story. I'm so happy for you all. I just had my first girl 5 days ago. Such an amazing blessing. So much better than my first labor. God bless you all ❤

Love your family and your journey. What do the combs do during birth?

Omg im gald your ok xxx

Congratulations ❤

You are incredible. ❤

Beautiful video ❤

Thank you for this! This gave me lots of hope and the Lord knows how I desire this so! Did you do anything to help your body go into labor naturally?

For my birth that was similar to yours with Anne. It was sudden. I woke up. My water broke as soon as I sat up in bed. And it just escalated so fast after that 😂. I got to the hospital and told the nurse I had to push. She didn’t believe me, so she checked. Immediately she radioed someone for a chair haha. Next thing you know, I’m in the room. And I’m pushing haha. Bam baby is here ❤

As a lot of mothers take you as inspiration, then I have an important question, just to clarify. Were you not supposed to go to hospital, at the first sign of blood? Wish you all the happiness and that tummy troubles pass soon..

❤❤❤❤❤❤ love this beautiful experience for and baby girl

God is faithful❤❤❤❤❤

I"M CRYING! ❤

Is there a particular comb to use for labor or any ol’ comb?

Wow 😭 Praise God ❤️

Our God is so good

I ave to kids 40 and almost 37 years old,I never had an ultrasound,how would I have known if my placenta was in the wrong place? Conrats with your beautiful girl

My first birth ended up having to be a c-section, I am hoping my second can be vaginal. All of the medication and them taking the baby right away and everything made it feel a little more disconnected.

14:27 Same!!! My baby arrived about 45 minutes after the low moaning started 😅 When they checked me they said it’ll be in the next 10 minutes 😭 Relief! Your birth story is so similar to mine except my water broke in my bathroom at home.

Praise the Lord!

Such a beautiful story Delilah, i had to happy cry 🥲 im so so happy for you!!! ❤❤❤

Beautiful

Wait are the kids birthdays may June July August? I know they are all summer babies 🤔

He should’ve told you if he was going to do stick his hand up there. They told me and got my consent. For both my clot in my third birth and my placenta retention in my second. It’s painful. Getting caught off guard by it doesn’t sound so fun 🥲 Edit. I had an unmedicated birth, so they made extra sure I was ok with it first. But they’re supposed to ask whether you had an epidural or not.

Crying 🥲

Praise Jesus ❤

I did wonder if you pulled her out. I thought that was so beautiful and natural. For the first hands to life her to be yours. I've seen a video of a gorilla give birth and they pull their babt out. Its what should happen if possible. No drugs means you're so much more present after the birth too.

I’m so sorry that doctor did that to you 😥

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Omg it sounds crazy to hear her calling her baby a “her “ I’m so used to saying him because the last 2 kids were boys 😅

❤

Good Job. Too bad you couldn't labor and deliver in the same room. Next time.

Eeek. I wish that doctor would’ve explained what he was about to do! That’s sounds scary. So happy you got the birth you dreamed of. 🤍

Love Delilah and her channel, but to all the Christian Moms that are watching this- good things happening doesn’t mean prayers were answered, and bad things happening doesn’t mean they weren’t. It’s not your fault if you prayed for a miracle, and it didn’t happen. If you prayed for a miracle, and it did, that wasn’t because you were trusting God more than anyone else who was praying for a miracle. EDIT: To help with some of the confusion, I am an ex-Christian agnostic. Thank you.

I'm 20. Not married, not even having a boyfriend but looking at you having all these experiences makes me so excited for what God has for me. Thank you for making these videos, Delilah!

I’ve never clicked on a video so fast!! What a beautiful story!!! A testimony to God answering our prayers ❤️

I’ve lost my faith right before my previous delivery. It was hard. Now I’m in my 35th week of the second pregnancy and I feel that I need God so much. There are so many unexpected things that can happen. Hopefully I will find my way back to Him. Your story is giving me some kind of a kick towards it.
