On August 6th, 2009 Emmalia Antoinette Meyer made her arrival! She was 6 pounds 15 oz and 20.5 inches long, born via natural waterbirth at OHSU Medical center in Portland, Oregon.

I suggest a waterbirth for anyone considering one! It really helped with contractions and was a huge pain reliever.

I had attending midwives, nurses, my husband and my 2 older girls. My other 3 kiddos were down the hall and would come in and out during labor.

Emmalia was alert and nursed pretty much right away.

  • how many children do you have???? (just askin) :)

  • @shaemac98 But I am starting a postpartum weight loss here soon! If you are interested, check out my other channel, PostpartumLoser

  • was she on facebook updating her status to "giving birth, cant talk"

  • @justjuice1992 Nope, mostly just chatting and giving updates! HAHAHA! I was fully conversational until my water broke and then five minutes later Emma was here.

    I am REALLY wondering what it's going to be like this next time (Im due in 8 weeks). We're naming him Justus John Mark, btw. :)

    Yup! And they have seen my other births too. They have seen all my birth videos, blood and everything and it doesn't phase them one bit. They don't see it as 'gross' because we never taught them it was gross. It's just someone having a baby to them .:) Thanks for commenting!

  • love the picture where u hold ur baby n ur husband is kissing u =) i cant waity for my baby to be born =) i am also doing water birth =) greeting from Chicago

  • @JynMeyer We couldn't have a water birth (not an option at the local hospital), but I was still able to have completely natural, drug-free deliveries with both my girls. Our older daughter (age 4 1/2 at the time) was present for her sister's birth and even got to announce the sex of the baby! Like you, we treated birth as a natural event and nothing "gross," and it's now one of her fondest memories! Congrats!

  • this video is so beautiful like u an ur lil one <3 amazing
