One month ago I gave birth to my healthy, wonderful son Lincoln at home, my first vaginal birth after two cesareans (first labor too as my cesareans were both scheduled). My dear friend filmed the birth and put together this birth video.
A few notes:
-I wasn't wearing clothes, just kind of forgot about them at that point in my labor, woops. But my friend is very talented and used good angles to record.
-I had oxygen on the last few minutes because I started to feel light headed from breathing too fast. Baby's heart rate was always perfect.
-I was very vocal.
-It was our ten year anniversary too, so these two days were probably the top two days of my life so far, 10 years apart exactly.
Okay, that's it, enjoy! I'm so happy to share this most amazing, wonderful moment in my life.

If you are in Utah, she would love to film your birth! It is a wonderful keepsake of the birth.
