Tank you for sharing your story. I had a c-section 10/2020 and still dream of a natural vaginal delivery. Your story gives me confidents that my dream will come true. Thank you!

Wow.  Thanks you so much for posting this.  I burst into tears at the c-section footage - I've seen photos, but have never seen it HAPPEN live like that, and I found it so distressing to see exactly what was happening to me and my child behind that blue curtain :(  And I burst into tears again at the VBAC, but happy tears this time - what an amazing ending to the video!  I'm so glad she and her third daughter experienced that perfect natural birth.

I cried, and cried.  So much trauma from my own births were brought to surface seeing this well-made video.  I thank you for sharing it.

Wow, Alexandra is amazing.  I am so happy she got your home birth, and what a supportive husband!  Wonderful, I hope to be having a home birth with my second and I hope it as just as beautiful.

That is amazing! I am pregnant now and having with a Midwife at home, watching this video made me cry so much and made me more confident and happy with our decision! Thank you for sharing!

Just to clarify - this is not my video, just one of my favorites. This video is by Alexandra Orchard. She posted it online for all to see, so I'm sure she would not mind that it's shared here. I had a cesarean, a hospital VBAC, and a homebirth so I can relate strongly to all of this!

I had a cesarean with my first because she was breech and I'm hoping that the next time around I can do a home birth with a midwife and have as great an experience as you had!

Wow! What an awesome depiction of "the difference"! You did a great job putting that together and had me in tears almost all the way through. (Of course, I *am* 8 mths pregnant, so I cry at everything, but still...) :)
