Long overdue birth vlog for baby boy #2 🩵

7 hours total of my premature labor and birth. I was my own doula this time with the amazing assistance of my dear husband (who left his overnight shift after working 10 of the 12hours). This birth brought extra sense of anxiety but also peace. Anxiety bc he was coming earlier than expected. Peace bc I knew what to expect and how bring him into this world safely and calmly. The labor comb and deep breathing helped as each contraction picked up. At around 12pm I asked to be checked to see how dilated I was and what station baby boy was in. The midwife checked and said “8cm and +2”. I was relieved but also knew we had some more progress to make. So I had the nurse help me get into flying cowgirl and I kid you not, 5 minutes later I was ready to push. Two contractions later and baby boy was earthside. I DID THE DAMN THING AGAIN!!!! Unmedicated!!!
