@Bigbirdflashladybug 5 лет назад

Literally nearly cried when you said about your mum saying “it’s time to meet your baby!” Emosh! She’s beautiful and you’ve both fitted into parenthood amazingly. Your labour sounds similar to my sons. He kept popping back up too! Luckily he wasn’t back to back so I just pushed with all my might and he finally came out but I love how even though you obviously didn’t plan a c-section you turned it into a positive 💗

@melatiao 5 лет назад

I’ve done a lot of c-section (I’m an operating room technician) and I cry pretty much every time 😅 It’s such a beautiful moment, you see women go from crying of pain to crying of happiness ❤️ I’m so happy for you 🥰

@t.a.c.2119 5 лет назад

Lily, so much applaud to you and Rich for learning who Grey is and already respecting her needs as a person! As a mom of two (older children now), I can say that this alone will aid greatly in your relationship as she grows up. Keep up the excellent work of raising a human being. It truly is the most difficult job and you are off to an outstanding job!

@sarahgill1336 5 лет назад

How on earth could anyone dislike this vlog? Really great recounting. I've never had a baby and never will but I found it fascinating. Thank you.

@kristenm5196 5 лет назад

Loved this! Your honesty and openness throughout your pregnancy, birth, and first weeks as a mom are so incredibly refreshing and helpful. Thank you for empowering other women to not only advocate for themselves and their preferences, but also letting them know that it’s okay if your birth doesn’t go according to plan.

@malgof2576 5 лет назад

such a beautiful video Lily, loved watching it. I'm a baby doctor (neonatologist) and watching babies being born will never be boring for me. such a miracle. I teared up when you said she recognised your voice, such a beautiful bond between mother and child even before they're born. all the best for you and your family. xx

@helloheavenleigh278 6 месяцев назад

Love your story-mine is kind of similar. I pushed for 17 hours total, the last 4 of which were “coached” so pushing as hard as I could. About 12 hours before he was born, I reached down and felt his head. He also was in a bad position and got stuck like yours. I’m so glad I was at a birthing center, because eventually he did come out, no meds or anything…had to try tons of positions and all that and eventually it worked! Had I been at a hospital of course they would have c sectioned me. You did a great job resisting for so long ❤

@gracek.2251 5 лет назад

Just over here crying over Rich's skin to skin and your mom being so supportive. And again over Grey recognizing your voice!

@margaretmerrick2747 5 лет назад

Women, you are a champ! You put a wonderful spin on labor and delivery. I will be having my second daughter in October. Praying that my second labor and delivery goes better then my first!

@duckpondwithoutducks 5 лет назад

I didn't think I was going to cry watching the video, but when it got to the part where she recognized your voice, I cried!

@nathhen7779 5 лет назад

@MsMooselet 5 лет назад

How lucky you are with Rich. Good job Lily!

@fionafrazer8820 5 лет назад

I'm am 42. years away from having a baby, but can't help but think how much nicer an experience it would have been to have a birth partner. I was pretty much terrified, and as I had waited until the last second (actually didn't realize I was so far along in labor!) I made it to the hospital, was prepped, and had my son 20 mins later! My husband was there in the hospital, but at that time, they didn't let them in the birthing room. I didn't have family nearby (or even on the same continent), so I am so happy for you that this experience, despite the time and effort you put in, was such a meaningful one. Kudos to Rich - men are so much more involved these days. Beautiful story, and gorgeous baby!

@catherinepattersonmcelroy8336 5 лет назад

I am in complete awe of your plan and perspective. I have so much respect to you and all mothers. I would love to hear how motherhood is different/similar to what you expected and how you view your own mother differently now. Children are in our 5 year plan so I'm grateful for all the information.

@VideoPrettyBrilliant 5 лет назад

Ahw! Your mum telling you: "I think you should do what the doctors are telling you. It's time to meet your baby" makes me all teary eyed. ❤️ What a wonderful story. You're just beaming with happiness and look "complete" with little Grey in your arms.

@kimgurley472 5 лет назад

She's precious! Congratulations! As long as they're healthy and you're healthy, it doesn't matter how they arrive or how they're fed..... every experience is different. There are hills and valleys in every single journey! Best wishes!!!

@lucyjane4188 5 лет назад

I felt every emotion from this video! It’s amazing to see you embracing motherhood in the most natural way

@kirstenrubberducky 5 лет назад

I legit got emotional when you described your mum saying 'it's time to meet your baby'. I think I'm partly gonna blame the PMS, but also it's just lovely. Your journey has been such a wonderful one and I wish you, Rich and Gray a lifetime of happiness. xx

@Sam-du5oe 5 лет назад

Please make more mummy type videos! I love your positive approach; many people would be very upset and negative about the complications you had. I’d love to hear about your experiences with feeding as well, it’s something nobody talks about enough but there’s such a stigma especially if you end up needing formula.

@doranjen12 5 лет назад

Thank you so much for this video. I’m pregnant and have been feeling pretty scared about the birth. But the way you describe it is so encouraging but honest at the same time. It’s given me so much reassurance. And your daughter is beautiful and super cute! Rich sounds like a legend too.

@christinemle 5 лет назад

I'm not a mom nor expecting to be one anytime soon, but I have been an aunt for quite some time and one of my closest friends recently announced she's expecting, so I've been loving hearing your pregnancy/delivery/motherhood stories (on IG, too); you have been so raw and real, and I feel whenever it IS my turn, I'd go back to watch your videos. Totally got me emotional when you talked about your and Rich's experiences meeting Baby Grey for the first time, so sweet. Keep doing YOU, Lily!

@ClaudiaGilchriest 5 лет назад

I’m not even a mum and I’m cried watching this. Such a positive birth story, sounds like you did so so well! You should be very proud! She’s super cute xxx

@sophieslittlelife6047 5 лет назад

I loved this so much! So real didn't sugar coat anything like some people usually do! I am 20 weeks pregnant and I've re watched all of your pregnancy videos and honestly I think you have been the most helpful! My partner watched this one with me and he said Rich has really inspired him! I will definitely be getting the digital download for the positive birthing. Thankyou Lily! Xx

@kawtheralkhenaizi3002 5 лет назад

Oh God this story made me relive my labor and delivery its horrible I still get queasy listening to these kind of stories 😭 very happy for you ♥️

@dreaminpink2 5 лет назад

Another important thing to say is it usually never goes like you imagined to go. It is good to have a birth project but sometimes you just need to be healthy and your baby too. So the thing is to lower expectations so that you won't be disappointed.

@MiaL1997 5 лет назад

I was so excited when you told us on instagram there is coming a new video! It might sound a little bit strange but your videos give me so much comfort. I watched your videos for years and I love watvhing your journey as a woman ans now also as a mum. Thanks for being so honest! I will wait patiently for the next video, enjoy your time with little Grey and Rich!

@christiescamera 5 лет назад

I had my baby three weeks ago and our labour stories are very similar. My waters went first too, my contractions never started though until 24 hours later so luckily no induction, but it did end in emergency csection under general anaesthetic. At least our babies are here safely. Thank you for sharing your story x

@laurencreates 5 лет назад

Thank you for sharing this, I am due in around 11 weeks but got diagnosed with gestational diabetes this week and so my plans for home birth are not viable any more. We are gonna do hypnobirthing so hearing how it helped you cope with everything has made me feel more confident about coping with the unexpected.

@daniellegoodall9467 5 лет назад

Ah my daughter did the same when I spoke to her for the first time, after my c section! She turned her head and looked at me and you’re right it’s amazing!! Congratulations x

I agree about the pethadine:D I had it, the injection in my thigh really fricking hurt, it did nothing at all for the pain, and now I was off my face and in agony :D I don't remember if it did anything for dilation, but my labour was long and I had it quite early on.

I read the Faith In Me Collection of inspirational birth stories as well as Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth. Both made me excited and not fearful. My labour was under 2 hours and I had no pain medication, I just used hypnobirthing breathing. Childbirth is empowering and amazing and doesn’t have to be painful or fear inducing.
