[...] (hee hee), well, all the planning I can do won’t guarantee anything. Many of you remember watching my first natural birth with the last baby. (I still remember it vividly.) And I still admire you natural birth mamas. [...]

So beautiful!! Thank you for sharing. Before you give up on the idea of another natural birth, though, PLEEEEEEASE check out SpinningBabies.com and read up on best positions for yourself and baby all through pregnancy, labor and delivery. Lying on our back makes everything so much harder. =O)

“Your editing is great because you captured the “exact moment” which I felt/sensed as it happened and began to cry as she was birthed. Only a mom knows that”

Maybe so, but I had the same reaction.

No, did you watch the video? This was #8, by the way.

Thank you for sharing such a private moment. I remember well…my daughter was my first natural birth after three c-sec boys, and honestly, it was my life’s goal to “not go to my grave without experiencing a natural childbirth the way God intended for it to be.” Totally understand your desire. Love your example and am happy to have the opportunity to thank you. Your editing is great because you captured the “exact moment” which I felt/sensed as it happened and began to cry as she was birthed. Only a mom knows that. So happy to see you bring this message to the world. I always tell young mothers who are expecting that Hollywood is not a good example of displaying natural childbirth. Your experience is a joy! Thanks again, so much.

Dana,

I’m so glad you were blessed by the video. I would have loved to talk to you before Ellia’s birth!

What a beautiful video! And yes, I cried just like everyone else did. I’ve had 10 natural births & never videoed any of them. Now I wish I had. Thanks for sharing!

Kelly,
It was so wonderful to meet you at the Baby Conference. I have been reading through your blog, and I am so glad to hear you had a successful natural child birth. Isn’t it wonderful?! Love your video. Cried through it all.

Love you from CA,
