Questions About Oria's Unassisted Birth

[NovembersGrace]

Congratulations!!! 

[sweetanarkali]

I really respect you for respecting yourselves enough to keep your pregnancy private....

Blessings!!!

[Tam438]

I can feel your gorgeous energy and your love coming through this video!

[gayraw]

Glad you baby is doing well, but can you get to the returns of the ayada clarity..It been 3 months which is a pretty long time.....I have many friends still waiting.....

[gotgittle]

I think you are a lovely couple. I question not telling your mom. I hope Oria doesn't leave both of you out of her special moments in life. You love her so very much and you must realize now how much both your parents love each of you. Your young, but I feel this was an inconsiderate thing to do. Your mom missed out on an exciting time in your life. Good luck to you both and she is a beautiful baby. Such a blessing!!!

[Tangerinetaco]

Such an inspiration to go 100% raw and do colonics! :-)

[ixchel213]

I met Alexa Sunshine living on the Big Island in Hawaii:) It's an amazingly beautiful album!

[lumwu]

Are you homeschooling or unschooling?

[nibblesann]

Love the vids guys! I think a couple should be able to live their lives how they want and not according some rule book :) People will get over it and if they don't well then don't worry about it just keep on livin' and lovin'! Just want to add love the way you treat each other with such love and care when you're together many couple loose that and it's great to see people so in love like the day they first met.

[Luv4Learning]

I thought that I had been completely unaware for the last few video episodes *LOL*. I think your decision not to tell others makes sense. It must have been difficult, though :). So, how long would someone need to wait to become pregnant after starting a detox/raw food diet? I don't want any children that I have to be around those toxins that might be circulating in my body during initial detox, etc. in the prenatal environment. I have thought about water births, but will have to read about lotus

[susique333]

Cleansing the colon is a time honored way to start labor. IE: cod liver oil.

[sblood45]

I don't know why anyone would be angry either, lol. I was totally aware that you were pregnant! You were absolutely glowing these past few months. I can understand family feeling a little strange, but I totally get it!

[MommyMakingHome]

Congratulations, she's beautiful!

I think unassisted births are so controversial because so many people are so uneducated and unhealthy... I admire you for doing this! :)

[julesmcafee]

congrats!WOULD HAVE LOVED fallowing your blog on what you ate, just had our 3rd child on Nov. 7.eating raw for 2 years prior and struggled a bit during different trimesters.I was back in the groove of raw in the 2nd and 3rd tri and was the healthiest of the 3 kids I birthed.I had food aversions of everything I was eating during the first tri.Ang you can be a BIG role model for preg women that struggle with raw while preg,I would have listened read your updates daily!will check blog, thank you!

[108candace]

Angela, did you have any pregnancy specific routines going on?

[NvrTuLate]

A very big congratulations to you both and to baby Oria for choosing you..

[jamielor]

I did colonics throughout my pregnancy as well! Great results!

[Cutchswife]

I noticed when Angela was coming down a slight incline when Matt was building that structure house thingy. I don't know how anyone can be 'angry' it was entirely up to Matt and Angela whether they shared that information or kept it to themselves. Haven't you got other, better things to be angry about? Honestly! I was so happy that they had a normal healthy and happy child.

[rawyeahright]

I'm wondering did Angela use Adya Clarity during her pregnancy?

[rawyeahright]

Matt looks like Kenny G in this video.

[BethanyFrankie]

Do you mind posting a link to your blog? Again, congrats! <3

[18111969A]

please tell us about how do/did you do the colon cleansing?

good for you to keep quiet!!!:-)

and it's nobody's business, people... Nobody owns anybody, just remember that please!

[joanheron1]

omy gosh. CONGRATULATIONS!!!. now i can ask you baby questions. YAY

[WendyND7]

Congratulations! I am the mom of 7, three which were unassisted. I totally understand why you kept quiet.

[awsevenn]

no offense Matt and Angela ...but why is the baby never dressed/clothed.......you must have a reason....interested in knowing.

[iamrachelsothere12]

Hey guys, ive been watching your videos for a while and always find them so interesting. I'm 21 and pretty overweight and desperate to just be healthy and only eat pure raw food. The only problem is that i have no idea whatsoever where to start. Can anyone reply to this comment with good recipes or websites i can check out?

Thanks heaps!!! :)

[Helenelalala]

@iamrachelsothere12 Change slooowly if you don't want to be too hard on yourself and go back to your present diet. Increase the amount of freshly cut veges & start sprouting (check videos on this) it can be cheap. Try to cancel as many toxin sources as possible also from cosmetic & clothes. Remember to really appreciate yourself for the courage u r taking to change all this. Take fruits by themselves: not mixed with other things. In general avoid mixing foods.

[EarthAngelinKC]

Your parents and family must be so excited about the birth of beautiful baby Oria. Will you do a video with your parents and your brother's reaction? Do they plan on coming to visit you in Ecuador? I know you must skype with them, but it's not the same as being able to see and hold their new grandchild, niece, cousin in person.

Love the video updates. Many blessings to you all - enjoy your babymoon!

[sioned70]

I totally get why you kept it secret ;) I kept my wedding secret from my mother because I wanted it to be MY day. Sometimes its hard to be "selfish" but some things rank up there. I think of it more like understanding other people's limitations or challenges and doing what you need to do to keep them in your life AND be happy. I hope both of your parents weren't too hurt, but I"m sure they were understanding. Considering my marriage didn't last I'm sure my mom is over it by now :)

[oh2love4love]

smart keeping your sacred space personal, because it is personal :)

[darthchoke88]

We are are "family birthers" as well. No body but us...IT'S THE BEST THING EVER! Great job!

[StephieMcCarthy]

Don't over do the enemas! They can cause long-term chronic fatigue by stripping the colon of nutrients.

[onelove6013]

what type of colon cleanse do you use?

[smurfieboo]

Baby unrelated, do you plan on making a video about your land and why you possibly can't keep it? What is happening to the eco-huts you were building with Kacper?

[Jenny1954]

Why is Oria always unclothed when we see her?

[Djk8263]

2 questions. Did you plan the pregnancy? I have been thinking of using the family planning method you have spoke about using before but have always been terrified it will fail. PLEASE let me know. As well, please talk about elimination communication. So interesting.

[aurorapsyche]

So beautiful how Mr. Monarch touched his heart at the end when the love for his child overwhelmed him. :D It's your body, your baby, your business. I would have done the same in your shoes. So much vibrant, good, loving energy your way.

[ncec67]

What about when you were so sick near the end of your pregnancy?

[empressofdirt]

@ncec67 Good question.

[scumbubbles1]

Congratulations! I'm proud of you two...

[mesomiko]

Oh no! A supplement question cliffhanger! Most interested in that. Thanks

[footsiefree]

I love your videos. So honest you guys are. Love it.

[coll68]

id love to be born into a family like your, so honest, real and full of intergrity. I love you guys. love and peace to you both and your little angel.x

[raaaaaarr]

matt is looking extra radiant today. I think that blue is his color

[kuching1]

I understand completely why you would keep it secret. At the last minute i asked my mom and husband if we could just stay home and deliver in the bathtub. I felt completely confident and comfortable at home. They both thought it was the craziest idea. Yet it was my body. Medicalizing birth is one of the biggest mistakes we make as a society.

[missunbounded]

Did you have an orgasmic birth?

[1960genius]

I love u guys!

[gypsykatcher30]

What do you think about vaccinations? Dying to know your take on it.

[natureasintended]

Matt and Angela, I like you both very much. I feel strongly about true health info being available.

[gypsykatcher30]

Wish I was born to this couple! What a great start in life!

[natureasintended]

It's *extremely important* that all women know that they can have a pain free childbirth (as I did). I read Spiritual Midwifery, Childbirth: The Bradley Way and Childbirth Without Fear. Pain hormones cannot exist at the same time as feel-good hormones, so resting and remembering to rest every part of the body including eyelids, toes and mouth is extremely helpful, along with deep breathing. I wasn't on a raw diet at the time / previous sad diet. I plan to make videos over the holiday. Love xx

[TheDherring]

You both are a wealth of knowledge. Thank you so much for sharing your most intimate thoughts and ideas with the world. Bless you both and beautiful Oria too !!

[mirpaterska]

Was checking youtube everyday looking for a new video from you guys :)

Thank you for sharing all this!

[MsEfish]

I feel that your pregnancy is/was such a personal thing between the two of you and why "people" would be angry at you is baffling to me!!!! In the Fall, it was evident in your vlogs that Angela was pregnant if one really watched. I am always thankful that you share your wonderful Vegan/Raw life with us. Congratulations on the beautiful Oria - she will bring you many wonderful blessings!!! Enjoy each day!!!!!!!

[lge4590]

i support your decision not to tell and agree with your reasons. I watched the bees video where you were wearing a huge poncho. i thought at that time you were either pregnant or eating way too many nuts ;-) I'm super glad everything went smoothly for you.

[elesha76]

You didnt answer everything you said can you do another vlog Im really interested in all this.

[elesha76]

I appreciate your honest answers on why you did not tell anyone else.

[joanni76]

Guys, Does colon cleansing lower the minerals in your body? I'm not sure, I've read a little bit about doing enemas but I'm seriously considering starting this next year. Is that how Angela does it? Let me know! Thanks! You guys rock!

[Helenelalala]

@joanni76 yes it does lower the minerals but the shit as well. Minerals are easy to replenish.

[joanni76]

@Helenelalala haha ... thanks!

[TheNunafeedtheducks]

Wow this is such an eye opener for us mothers, with all my pregnancies i could not eat or smell certain foods for the first 3 months. Naturally, our body is saying eat healthy. When I first saw Oria I thought what a beauty shape her face and head was and she had no wrinkles. food plays a massive part in her skin being that way and I believe the sort labor helped with her beautiful shaped head. Some babies have a cone head because of long hours of labor. Staying calm in labor is key :))) x

[flamencomypassion]

What is the best way to cleanse the colon? Are enemas at home good enough if you are not able to do colonics outside of the home? I need to know because I need to start cleansing my colon, but cannot go to a "colonics" place. Thank you.

[aRawLifestyle]

This is a great vid!

[jaduwitch]

Great video. :) Thank you so much for sharing. Such an amazing experience you guys are going through. I am so happy for your that you are living your lives the way you want, and I am sure that you will bring your adorable baby daughter to be a very happy, healthy, person. She will be the person of "THE FUTURE", with completely different consciousness. I just love that idea. Pure, raw, clean living, spirituality and freedom of mind! You are amazing parents! LOVE YOU VERY VERY MUCH. BLESSINGS. XOX

[Smileeen]

She looks like Matt.

[mamcauley]

Thank you for sharing your lives as you do. I am not surprised at your answers to that first question. I guessed those answers on my own. Makes perfect sense to me. Love to all three of you!

[Achayok]

I was kinda curious as to why Angela was only wearing loose fitting clothes. I would look at her earlier videos from when the media first started interviews, and wonder why she had physically changed SO much this year. Now I know! *Good to hear all the amazing updates. You have a beautiful little family.

[sexyearthchick25]

Awesome video guys, thanks. When you say colon cleansing, what type do you mean? Colonics, enimas, cleansing pills? Just curious.

[tiffandrewplustwo]

Digestion slows SO MUCH during pregnancy. GETTING THAT STUFF OUT IS THE PROBLEM! Way to go Angela! So, what would be the best enema for children?

[CelineMilanSiera]

Congratulations for this beautiful happening <3

*I'm so joyful to see this news... Oria <3 *

i understand your decision, and would have done the same thing in your place.

Divine love and tenderness from Belgium.

[empressofdirt]

I thought your pregnancy was known because you showed Angela at a distance in a few videos in the fall and she was obviously preggers. I guess I was one of the few who noticed...

[aurorapsyche]

@empressofdirt Yes, I could tell long ago she was glowing with pregnancy. There's only one kind of radiance like that. ;)

[empressofdirt]

@aurorapsyche And there was the unmistakable look of morning sickness earlier in the year...
