Positive All natural- Home & Water Birth story

He’s here! 🎉🎉
Little man came just 2 days after his due date. Had a stretch and sweep at 6 pm was 2 cm - 75% effaced.
Went home and contractions start at 9 pm already 4 minutes apart! Our midwife came at 1030 and said we are having a baby tonight!
We got our birth pool setup which would highly recommend! The warm water was so relieving during contractions. By 2 am it was just about time to start pushing. I decided to push outside the pool and happy I did because I needed that extra support and was cold from going in and out.
I pushed for 1 hour 45 minutes! It was crazy and intense but I really listened to my midwives and only pushed when I felt contractions. After birthing a 9 lb 2 oz baby didn’t need a single stitch! (Which was one of my big fears)
It was such an amazing experience and so happy I had a birth team I could feel comfortable with and safe.
So if you have considered a home birth I would 100% advocate for it! It was not a walk in the park but a beautiful moment for me and my husband and I couldn’t have imagined it any other way! 🥰
