Homebirth Video 7/3/11 (early labor to transition labor)

A montage of HD clips from the birth of our 3rd child. This was all the "early" labor clips as I refer to them even though I 8cm through-out most of this but wasn't in any pain until the last clip of this montage. Part 2 is when labor takes a painful turn suddenly.

FYI The clips of me walking outside in the dark color shorts is not me "walking". They wanted me doing lunges & curb walking to help progress labor. Instead all it did was make my out of shape legs hurt ha

Here is part 2:

What were you doing at the end of that clip where you were hanging on the mid wife?

[xxxjoelpolexxx]

@MsLonghorn98 I was in the midst of a contraction, letting my body go limp/relaxed

Do you always have that long of labors? Both my kids went 0-60 in 2 hours no way could I do all that stuff but it does make the day special to be able to do all those activities

@cassieconnell Jacelyn was 24 hours from the time I was 5cm, Kacen was 6 hrs from the time I was 6cm

Watching your son taking a tiny bite off the bread and walking in his daddy's shoes, reminded me of my son; he does the same stuff.

I followed your whole pregnancy and im not going to lie i was really kinda sad when they slipped up and told you she was a she lol.( even tho i was really excited forthe both of you when i found out she was a girl!) i was really waiting for the whole idk shock of it all.. This vid is amazzing!

@pinklove2010 Me too!!!!!!!! she very well may be our last we just don't know & w/ knowing that's a good possibility it really saddens me I didn't get my surprise birth. If we ever did have a 4th we'll DEFINITELY be doing a surprise gender w/ NO ultrasounds (well maybe one just to make sure everything is okay but NO ONE & I MEAN NO ONE will know the gender!) & I will try YET AGAIN for a water birth (lol) but I honestly don't think I meant to do it in the water. I really love land when pushing.
