My Birth Story 🥹🫶 To all of you who are afraid of birth, or afraid that it might not go as planned: After an almost perfect pregnancy, I truly believed my birth would go just as smoothly. My water broke last Saturday at 4:30 p.m.—four days before my due date—and by 6 p.m., contractions had started, so we headed to the hospital. I was in labor for nearly 17 hours when the doctors and midwives told us they needed to attempt a vacuum-assisted delivery. They explained that if it didn’t work, we would need to proceed with an emergency C-section. Just before noon on Sunday—after 20 intense hours—our little snowflake arrived via emergency C-section, with Jake by my side and me awake to witness the moment 🥹❄️ It may not have been the birth I imagined, but I would go through it all again in a heartbeat for you, Oscar.

What a gift to just be here with my baby, fully ❤️ #momlife #family #postpartum

Such a truly special moment — your aunt had been waiting to see you 🥹❤️ #motherhood #pregnanttiktok #baby #babyboy

I’ve heard women say, ‘I don’t want my husband at the birth - I don’t want him to see me with stitches, not even able to go to the toilet by myself.’ 💔❤️‍🩹👩‍🍼 But thank God, I never had that thought. My husband didn’t even question it - he wanted to be there, to support me and witness our son’s birth 🥹🫂

Ever since we found out we were having a baby boy, l kept thinking about the incredible men in my life and especially my brother and my dad. My dad who was truly the best father I could have ever wished for. I can't help but tear up thinking about how excited he would have been to meet little Oscar 🥹🕊️ When my brother came to the hospital to meet our tiny snowflake, all of those emotions came flooding in. He's already as gentle and loving with Oscar as we are, and I just know he'll be the most amazing uncle. #pregnancy #birth #parents #mama #motherhood #baby #family

I’m a first-time mom at 35 and had so many worries about my birth 🥹 Please tell me I’m not alone in this. 1. …that breastfeeding was harder and more painful than I ever imagined. My milk production in the beginning wasn’t great, and it put a lot of pressure on me. Some say it’s because I ended up having a C-section. 2. I had a perfect pregnancy, so I never thought I’d end up having an emergency C-section after my normal labor failed. 3. I took an epidural during my 20-hour labour because I couldn’t bear the pain anymore. 4. I stayed in the hospital for 7 days instead of the usual 3–5, just so we could stay in our bubble and have time for just the three of us. 5. My husband helped my midwife during the entire labour and saw me in my most vulnerable moments. 6. In the end, I was more focused on my son and me surviving than on having the perfect ‘natural’ birth experience 7. I cried the first two nights in the hospital when my husband had to leave. I was scared I wouldn’t be enough on my own. 8. I was afraid I’d get the baby blues and feel an instant emotional crash when he was born—but instead, I felt more love than I ever imagined possible.

10. My water broke at 39+3 weeks while we were at a wine festival with my brother and his girlfriend. My pants were soaked, and I somehow managed to take an Uber home while hiding my wet pants. 9. I relaxed at home before heading to the hospital about two hours later. 8. Jake supported me through intense contractions alone at home for three hours. By 11 p.m., we returned to the hospital. I could barely walk, but my cervix had only opened around 1 cm. 7. My contractions intensified. I received an epidural at 1 a.m., and within an hour, my cervix had fully opened to 10 cm. 6. In the middle of labor, the hospital unexpectedly brought up payments and made me sign documents we had already clarified—frustrating timing 🙈 5. I cycled between painful contractions, nausea, and light moments—like chatting with Jake’s family on the phone when I felt okay. 4. Before pushing, they increased my epidural, and I even managed to rest my eyes for a bit. 3. I didn’t know how to push but quickly learned—chin to chest, pressing downward, mostly lying on my back or side. 2. By 10:30 a.m., we tried vacuum-assisted delivery. The team worked in full force—Jake and my midwife held my legs, a nurse pressed on my belly, and I gripped the side ropes. The doctor started the vacuum process at the same time, but it failed. 1. I was taken in for an emergency C-section. Oscar was born within 10 minutes, and I was stitched up over the next 45 while awake. I could feel everything—though it wasn’t painful. Through it all, Oscar’s heartbeat stayed calm and strong. He was born happy, healthy, and perfect 🥹🫶 And just one minute later, all the pain faded. I told Jake—this past week has been the best of my life. To anyone scared of giving birth: If I can do it (and I’m not good with pain), you can too. #pregnancy #birth #parents #mama #motherhood #baby #family

I didn’t even have to explain how I felt - he was there the whole time I was in labor, reminding me how strong I am and that I can do anything 🤍 🥹 My comfort, my biggest supporter. So thankful!

Time is a thief ❤️ #newborn #firstbaby #babytok

We met when I was 26 and he was 24 — both going through a big life crisis and craving change 🥹 We wanted to travel the world, build something meaningful, and create a strong foundation for our future. 🙅‍♀️ Why we didn’t want kids (before our 30s): – We were really happy with our life already – We loved our freedom and spontaneous plans – We knew our life would completely change – We were scared of constantly worrying – We’d have to make big sacrifices – No more proper sleep 😅 – Our relationship would shift — and not always in easy ways – Honestly, we were just scared 👶🏼✅ Why we changed our mind (a year ago): – We started craving something deeper – The idea of unconditional love started to mean more – Watching a tiny human grow into their own person felt magical – It began to feel like this might actually be the real purpose of life – We wanted the joy, the laughter, the chaos, the wonder – We felt ready to share parenthood and grow even closer as a couple – And one day… to see the world through their eyes when we’re old ✨ Who can relate?
