Elijah's Home Birth Story | My Miracle Birth

Published: Jan. 18, 2022, 5:26 p.m.

Rosie just had our new baby this last week and we wanted to talk about how that went. She had some fear and anxiousness about this birth because of Ezra\u2019s birth. We set up a little pool in our home where Rosie was able to remain when giving birth, and then her midwife had her sit on the toilet to help open things up for the baby. From there, she was able to get in the pool, stand up, and deliver the baby almost right after getting in. We were all pretty shocked the baby came so fast at that point, but Rosie was very relieved that things went so smoothly. \u201cIf it doesn\u2019t get to happen and you just went to hospital, like I did with Daithi, that\u2019s great too because you\u2019re already much more prepared than you would be without it.\u201d 26:36

\u201cIt was like going to the movies and the lights came on and you were told to leave after the trailers had finished. The movie hadn\u2019t even started and you\u2019re like, \u2018Hey it\u2019s finished!\u2019 I spent more time filling the pool than you were having contractions for nearly.\u201d 18:48
