raw home birth footage of our fourth baby 🕊️ as soon as she said I could push, the emotions started flooding. I was so excited realizing we were about to meet our baby. times are a little off. 3:20 am woke out of sleep after 3 strong contractions. 3:40 am contractions 5 minutes apart, 30 seconds long. 4:15 am lost bloody show & called midwife. 4:45 am midwife on way, contractions 3 minutes apart, more intense. 5:40 am 4cm, 90% effaced. 10:15 am 7.5 cm, into the pool. Contractions picked and immediately felt gushes of fluid. Started pushing 20-30 minutes later. 11:20? am out of pool, contractions slowed a bit and pushing in those positions wasn’t working. midwife broke rest of water bag (possibly broke at top). 11:42am baby born.
