Hey guys! I'M BACK & I AM A MOMMY! I have been away for 3 MONTHS on maternity leave which is unbelievable, on December 1st I had my miracle baby after 15 years of infertility! I had so many ideas of what I thought my birth would look like, and it ended up being SO different. When you watch this birth story, please know that I am aware that there are a LOT of opinions about birth and everyone has different experiences. I know that there may be a lot of people who have a lot to say about my birth, because theirs (or yours) might have been harder, or easier, or more or less traumatic.. and that is the thing - we are ALL different and experience things so differently. I didn't want this to be my story.. but it is. The events leading up to my sons birth (and what happened after he was born) were so traumatic to me that it took me 9 weeks to be able to talk about it after a lot of therapy.
*** I want to make it BLATANTLY CLEAR that I have ZERO issues with hospitals, with epidurals, with c-sections, none of that. I think EVERY way that ANYONE wants to birth is valid, beautiful and their own. Everyone has preferences, for instance, my best friend chose to schedule c-sections for herself - that is HER preference and I think that is amazing. My other friend had a home birth with a midwife & doula - her choice her preference. My other best friend chose a hospital birth center with epidural - her choice her preference. I do not EVER judge or care what ANYONE wants to do in their birth. I think the same goes here - if someone had wanted a scheduled c-section and ended up going into labor and giving birth at home - that could be very traumatizing for them - As it was SO different from their birth preference, ya know? It has nothing to do with feeling like one birth is "better" than another - because I do not believe that. Just way different than anticipated.
It was just SO long, drawn out, painful and after he was born and we weren't sure if he was okay.. it was a LOT.
For anyone who wants to know what happened, baby was asynclitic.
Re-editing this, I told Zack "I don't know if I am justified in feeling as traumatized by this as I have.. because ultimately our son was okay" and he said "Kristi no, it was SO difficult and SO traumatizing for me too. If you get in a car crash, even if you all survive it can still be traumatizing to you" and that made me realize that he is right. Ultimately our sweet angel baby is here with us and doing SO well - which is the MOST important thing.
I believe that everyone is valid in feeling however they do about their own birth experience. People always say "as long as the baby is healthy, thats all that matters" and while it is the MOST important part, it is not ALL that matters. The parents mental health and experience matters too.
Please be kind in the comments so I can leave them on.
I will do a Q&A answering any questions that you all have after this video is up for a bit, so make sure to follow on other social media (IG & Twitter) if you want to participate in the Q&A if there was something I didn't cover!
