You're so lucky, your belly looks great! No stretchmarks! I didn't have any until about 7 months, and now everything below my belly button is stretched but now, I'm 39 weeks and the marks seem to already be fading. (I'm also doing a home water birth with midwives - exciting!)

[kash734]

I loveeee that you are talking about midwives! I am going to be a midwife in 1 year. Congrats with everything!!! You are so strong!

[kassandrakassan]

you are right. Women are not aware of there options. They dont even think it could be possible to do it at home. Me as well until I found a film then 10 then 100 on home birth.

[ScttG123]

i wanna rub ur belly like theres no tomorrow. really big and beautiful

[AimeeRenae5]

wow...u pushed an 8 lbs 10 oz kid out using natural child birth? im doing mine in the hospital without drugs. really scared!

[psychic13]

Great advice, thank-you for sharing! I hope you and the baby are doing well.  <3

[TheBabybutterfly]

i want a baby so bad!

me and my husband have been trying for two years with no luck.

[rddbba]

try this: it will work it might surely work. You have too much cold inside...get it out....take vicks vapor rub. just after love making put your buttocks on top of a pillow and rub vicks onto your lower belly towards your middle and ovaries....the vapors will help body carry fertilized egg into your woomb keep warm do not have ruff sex do not let him put his waight on you....it will happen the first month. If not the second. If it works call boy David for my dad or Angelina for my name...good LU

[TheBabybutterfly]

thank you for the tip. I will try that!

[strawberryme08]

I remember how tight my tummy was and it was shiny like that

[shmierbag]

serious? what is that line on the stomach and why do pregnant women get them?

[MsBlairwitch]

It's called linea nigra

[ktdf08]

I had a natural childbirth in the hospital and I could have done that at home and would have if I had known more. I feel it would have been more comfortable. My midwife was great and didnt push the use of any drugs during the birth.

[pimperikkillah]

im thinking about home birth, was it expensive?

[aznlucycanada]

I did not have to pay, it is covered by health care

[edaj84]

I am in Australia and mine was $3,500

[leanncraigo]

@pimperikkillah homebirth is ALOT cheaper than a hospital birth...the hospital charges you for things you do not need at your own homebirth..

[lookalikey121]

Hi Your ace! I'm having exactly the same sort of resistance to home birth, but home birth is what i'm doing too and this is my first pregnancy too! Women go through " Nesting" for a very good reason so why leave the nest to have your baby? Would a bird build a nest in a tree, then ley her eggs on the side of a road?

[jrodpaul]

did you read ina may's childbirth books?

[aznlucycanada]

I read both of them

[L0v3brittany]

Beautiful baby bump! I wish you the best with your home birth!

[MariahCareySongs]

I thought that was an ass... -_-

[1PostPoMoMaN1]

Pregnancy compresses all the mother's internal organs... as known. Really disturbing.

[Sienna10Sunz]

Also I would look into- 'hypnobirthing'- In labour good to keep fear in check by having affirmations etc. we r very capable :) The other practice is "diaper free" in many countries they don't use our 'regular' toxic diapers & young babies r on public buses etc. without accidents- something going on there ;) Don't forget your positive "visual board", something that keeps u on track just 2 look @ it- quotes & opening flowers, pics of babies etc. reminds u of what the end result is :)

[aznlucycanada]

I listened to some of the hypnobirthing CDs. They help a lot with the labour but it was not pain free.

[Sienna10Sunz]

I really appreciate what you are saying, thanks for sharing- I tell people the exact same sentence that u do about hospitals being where u go when you're sick, there is nothing wrong with labour...there is fear. I know that I messed up my labour by leaving 2 go 2 hospital. The lights, the elevator, getting lost to my room etc. all messed up my groove & changed my attitude 2 being more negative- and than it became more difficult.

[MsCrazy123456]

was it heard

[ideenfee]

Thank you!!!

[MummyLELE]

is this ur first baby?

[chelseaholley]

I am so excited for you! I am due in december and am also having a home birth. I'm really looking forward to the whole experience of childbirth, its such a beautiful, empowering and sexy part of our lives! Best wish to you, I'm sure you will have a wonderful experience.

[CruelaMimines]

When is the date of your birth?

[leanghiapii]

[muzakure]

Just wanted to let you know that big babies are the best! My daughter was 9lbs. 1 oz. and I didn't tear or have an episiotomy. My midwife did a great perineal massage, and I loved having a chubby baby. Teeny tiny babies terrify me.

[ShesThe1yup]

no it doesn't look like he's dropped yet. you look lovely, I used a bath tub with my 4th until they said i had to get out because of a meconium show but up til then it really helped and felt so good to be in the tub. I also had some Aroma oils burning that was nice. I did go nearly 20 hrs before i got pain relief w my 1st so your right ppl can endurd alot. I'm sorry if i was over worried for you I guess i can't help it :) I did try birth center each time it wasn't til the end i coudn't stand it

[ShesThe1yup]

for the record with my five kids NON of them were C-Sections so that's gotta be good right. I agree Hospitals push for C-sections too much. sometimes i think it's just for the convenience of the doctors.

[lady4u2nv718]

lmao at the comment below!!!...smh

[allaboutvictoria]

your going to have a big fat baby

[hotchocococo]

aw sweetheart!! You're looking more and more beautiful each time we see you! i'm growing so excited for you! Wish your birth goes well!! All the best. May it be bearable and safe :) Pls show us pics when you can! Love you babe xoxox

[triplehelix033]

slamin' bod. very sexy.

[imXsoXnotXscene]

i'm years away from having my own, but i definitely want to have natural home births, preferably water births... because like you said, it's NATURAL! plus, with home births and stuff, you work more with gravity than you do with a hospital birth... there you fight against it cause you're lying down!

anyway, congrats to you, dear! i'm excited for you and can't wait to meet the baby [=

[thewidricks]

Note: Mom doesn't have to lay down in the hospital, but she does have to speak up regarding her preferences. Lots of positions to choose from. Use gravity and a squatting bar! And a doula. :)  --signed, a doula

[akredfox89]

My mother had all five of us at home and my last brother was a water birth. All natural no drugs. And I am proud to say she's gotta be the strongest woman i know. Congradulations in advance!!!!

[ShesThe1yup]

wow I agree with you. Strong lady. I think if i did ever end up having a Home birth I would have waited til baby number 2 at least. Then you know what the whole experience is like. But like a roller coaster ride, once your in it. You just gotta do it and in the end you'll prob be glad you did. (I guess hehe). I've had kids but not a home birth so I guess I wouldn't know so much about that part. I really commend your mum. :) :) how inspiring. :)

[ShesThe1yup]

that was too imXsoXnotXscenels comment

[Starface1997]

omg congrats

[Starface1997]

lord

[liviecwh]

sometimes ultrasounds show the baby bigger than it is

they told me my daughter was going to be nearly 10lbs at 40 weeks, and she was actually 6lbs 13ounces

[aznlucycanada]

that's good to hear

[floralundies]

I had a friend who also had a water birth, as well as drug free! She said that she couldn't imagine it without the water and is really glad that she made that choice.

[p0interz]

is this ur first baby?? or second?? and dont u have to bring the baby to the hospital after u give birth?? -sorry i didnt watch all ur videos yet, just this one. hehe

[aznlucycanada]

this is my first baby. you don't have to go to the hospital at all. the midwives do all the primary care at your home. they also visit you at home the next day and on day 3 and 5 to make sure there isnt any problems

[dani2018]

you look beautifull! I wish you and your baby the best. I've seen home birth videos on youtube and it just looks like the most beautifull thing to do. I had an emergency c section and it was very traumatizing since it was my first birth. Good luck and I hope everything goes well :)

[shypnay3x]

ur giving a home birth?

[XxScrewstonzGrlxX]

i just found out im pregnant and im really scared to give birth!!

[dmaried81]

You look great! Lucky you...no stretch marks!

[barbieCDL]

hi lucy

I totally agree with u :) giving birth isn't a illness..Im a new nurse & ive work in labor rooms & it's so true that we give our patient a lot of meds 4 pain & contractions ,sometimes I think it is really unnecessary but the mom is so scared to give birth & we fell the need to help her by relief her from her pain rather then using more natural ways to calm the pain. Im so happy that u choose to give birth at home,its really the best thing u came give for yourself & ur baby

[aznlucycanada]

if only more people understood the benefits of a drug free birth

[shypnay3x]

oh the birth without drugs right?

[kilafrombklyn]

When you said the weight of the baby it reminded me of myself. I was 10lbs when I was born and my mom was as tiny as you. Good luck to you... you'll have a happy healthy baby.

[aznlucycanada]

uhh...scarey

[ClearUncertainty]

thats good ur choosing a drug free birth... i heard its beneficial for you and your baby...the baby doesnt come out all drugged and stuff

[aznlucycanada]

exactly

[amoona82]

u're very very brave and it makes me proud that there r people like u it's amazing and inspiring...i hope when im ready to have a baby id like to have a natural brith as well God Willing! :) i hope everything goes well for u !! good luck!!!!

[stakem4]

hope this isn't too personal, but..

why do you want to have your baby at home?

[aznlucycanada]

many reasons. I want to be in control of my birth experience. Hospitals are very stressful environments and it often delays labour because the woman is not relaxed. There are many videos and books on the benefits of home birth if you are curious.

[BabyJasLin]

OMG I'm very excited for you....

Good Luck....

[RidaNJeda]

So happy for you!!! Can't wait to know how the home birth is going to be! I also want natural births when my time comes! Unless it stresses the baby(-ies)...

You're glowing, girl! :)

[photofiltre411]

you look so happy!

& congrats on the new member to your family!!

your baby is going to be very beautiful!!!

keep us updated!
