00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: with Timothy. Hello everyone, and we are recording our birth

20
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: story of Ivy Sunday. So she was born a month

21
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: ago today.

22
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: Hey, a month today?

23
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: Yeah? So she was born on the twenty fourth of

24
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: November at ten fifty nine. She weighed three point six

25
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: kilos and is fifty six minutes long. She's a very

26
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: long baby, and she definitely has your body, not mine.

27
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: She has a little lank dog.

28
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: She's so lanky. To put into perspective, guys, so I

29
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: was the same weight as her as a newborn, but

30
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: I was ten centimeter shorter. So yeah, she's gonna definitely

31
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: have some height on her, which I love that for her. So, guys,

32
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do is we're just gonna run through

33
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: the story the chain of events that happened. It ended

34
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: up being like a twenty six.

35
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 2: Hour later, so it was a marathon.

36
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: It was a marathon, wasn't It definitely did not go

37
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: to plan, but we had such an incredible experience. So

38
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: we'll get into that. And then I put some questions

39
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: on my Instagram, so we will do that after. So

40
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: where do we start him? It was the Tuesday morning,

41
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: so she was born. To put into perspective, she was

42
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: born on Wednesday night at ten nearly eleven pm. So

43
00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: on the Monday morning, sorry, the Tuesday morning. On the Monday,

44
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: I went and saw my Obi obstetrician, and he did

45
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: a stretch and sweep and said I was already two

46
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: centimeters dilated. So he did a stretch and sweep. And

47
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: then the next morning, Tuesday morning, my waters broke. And

48
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: a bit of a funny story, so I had Actually

49
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: I was sleeping the spare room because Tim was snoring,

50
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: and so I slept in the spare room.

51
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 2: That's not like me to snort with the biggest snore.

52
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: Well, I think it was just more because I was

53
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: light sleeping. Usually it's not too bad. And I woke

54
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: up and sneezed and my waters broke.

55
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: Water everywhere, Yeah, so I turned into a water.

56
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: I noosed right away and walked to the bathroom and

57
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, my waters have just broken.

58
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: And I got up literally and then doctor this big

59
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 2: trail of water all the way to the bathroom. It

60
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 2: looked like you just got out in the shaer and

61
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: just like walked into the bedroom.

62
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: But it was the opposite way, yeah, from the bedroom

63
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: to the bathroom, and it was like it was quite

64
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: a bit of water. So I thought that was it.

65
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: We then I was like to Tim, so I didn't

66
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: have contractions or anything, so labor hadn't started, and so

67
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: I was like to Tim, let's get up, let's go

68
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: for a walk. Like I'm not in labor, but like,

69
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: you know, let's get this going.

70
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: Get active. Yeah, get it happening.

71
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: So we went from a walk to the beach, no joke,

72
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: We're at the beach, and I said to Tim almost

73
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 1: so I had like period underwear on and stuff, and

74
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: I said to Tim, oh, my god, my waters are breaking.

75
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: Even more so by the time that we were like

76
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: nearly home, my whole I was wearing like sports pants.

77
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: No, it was so what happened was we're at the beach. Yah,

78
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: and then you were like, oh, you know, a little

79
00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: bit more water came out, and I remember, and then

80
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: we like almost home. Yeah, and then I made that

81
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 2: funny joke and then you literally cracked yourself and it

82
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 2: was just like literally gushing it out, like you just

83
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: pissed your pants in, literally pissed yourself up.

84
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: No, but it was water my whole. So I was

85
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: wearing these brown pants and my whole, all my pants

86
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: were wet, hey, and it was like water stream coming down.

87
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: And I started basically running home because I was embarrassed.

88
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 2: It's embarrassed. Yeah, but I mean you couldn't even tell

89
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 2: really like it was just but it was just been

90
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: uncomfortable for you, wasn't it. Yeah.

91
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: So then I went upstairs, had a shower, put another pattern.

92
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: So that whole day I was just like leaking water,

93
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: but nothing else happened. I didn't we didn't call the

94
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: hospital or anything because I was kind of super chill

95
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: about it and I was like, oh, no, I'll go

96
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: into labor in the next you know, twenty four or

97
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: forty eight hours. I just need to rest and chill.

98
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: We just had a super chill day. I think I

99
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: tried to have like a nap and stuff. And then

100
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: that night we went to bed around eight thirty. Again,

101
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: Tim started snoring, so I went into the spare room,

102
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: and also I kind of had a feeling I would

103
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: go into labor, so I was like, I want to

104
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: go in the spare room and just kind of do

105
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: the start bit by myself, because I just kind of,

106
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: you know, all first berths are pretty long, I've been told,

107
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: so I was like, I just want to, you know,

108
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: make sure Tim gets sleep so we can keep going.

109
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

110
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: So then at nine thirty on the Tuesday night, my

111
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: contraction started, so they kind of just felt it just

112
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: kind of feels like pretty intense period pain. And I

113
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: would have one contraction every ten minutes, ten to fifteen minutes.

114
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: They weren't regular two and then yeah, they just felt

115
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: like intense period pain. But it was quite painful from

116
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: the start. Lots of whom say they, you know, it's

117
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: not that painful. Mine like, oh, because it was only

118
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: you know, for a minute every ten or fifteen minutes.

119
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: It was so doable, and I was just doing it

120
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: by breathing. I would get up and kind of just

121
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: like get through it, and it was fine. But then

122
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: things started to really ramp up. So it was like

123
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: that until four point thirty, yeah, maybe.

124
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 2: Like five in the morning. Yeah, and then you're like

125
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,679
Speaker 2: fuck you came in and then we put the tens

126
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: machine on.

127
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: So I woked him up and I was like, she's getten.

128
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 2: Serious, it's happened, and I was.

129
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: It was probably two contractions every ten minutes at this point,

130
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: so every five minutes, and they were quite painful, sometimes

131
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: for a minute and a half. And so I said

132
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: to Tim, oh, also she was posterior. So when I

133
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: went to my ob, he did a scan and she

134
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: had moved from.

135
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 2: The perfect position to posteria.

136
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: And then I went into labor when she was posterio,

137
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: and I knew she was posteria because my back not

138
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: only could I fear it feel it in my uterus

139
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: and it for like period pains, but my back was aching.

140
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: It was really bad. And then yeah, so we did

141
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: the tense.

142
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 2: Machine, pump that up.

143
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: That was good. I'm glad. Yeah, we did that for

144
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: a lot of the pre labor and that was really good.

145
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: And basically just a tens machine, it's just like a yeah.

146
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: So it just sends for whoever doesn't know what a

147
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 2: tens machine is, it just sends like electric shocks. So

148
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: you just basically put it on. It's more, is it

149
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 2: for more if your posterior or no, No, it's it's

150
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 2: just for pain. So you put like there's four little

151
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 2: like sticky things. You put it on like the middle

152
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 2: of the back on those two main muscles that run

153
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 2: down yeah, and then down the bottom near the tower

154
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 2: bone hay.

155
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

156
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 2: And then so you sort of just stick it on

157
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: stick pad. They stay stick on. Put Andy's back on,

158
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 2: and then it's like.

159
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: You have this controller and so you press it every

160
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: time you're about.

161
00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 2: To get a contrave extracsion.

162
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it kind of just feels like tingling, And

163
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: basically it's to confuse your brain and get you to

164
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: focus on a different sensation to the contraction. Yes, you

165
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: can definitely still feel contractions and pain, but.

166
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 2: It is just less.

167
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, So we used that the whole way till we

168
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: got to the hospital. But basically then it was probably

169
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: around nine. It was probably around eight thirty, and my

170
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: contractions were still a regular and then I said to Tim,

171
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: let's just start getting ready to go to the hospital. Also,

172
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: I kind of wasn't comfortable and I wanted to. It

173
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 1: was getting pretty intense, and I was like, I want

174
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: to get to hospital. I want to like get in

175
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: and get comfortable before it gets really intense, because I

176
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: could kind of feel it was going that way, go

177
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: on that way.

178
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 2: And then the last thing we sort of wanted was

179
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 2: now if you're sort of doing contractions every like it,

180
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 2: or just you know, if you imagine like if it

181
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: happened in the car, or we just wanted to get there, yeah,

182
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 2: but we didn't want to get there too early. Was

183
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 2: they go, oh, just go back home. There's no way

184
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: you get there, and you want to go back home

185
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 2: forget it, you know.

186
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: Right, And I almost felt like I couldn't relax here

187
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: because I knew that we had to do the car ride.

188
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: We had to get in there get the assessment. So

189
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: I was like, let's just start getting ready. So it

190
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: probably took an hour to actually leave, and then so

191
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: we you know, had everything pat put the dogs outside,

192
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 1: all that sort of thing, and headed to the hospital.

193
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: I still had the tens machine in the car, and

194
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: I also wore my eye mask and had the music

195
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: going so I could kind of be in the.

196
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 2: Zone because what were the contractions when we did leave

197
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 2: to go to the hospital.

198
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: It was three every ten minutes.

199
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 2: Three every ten minutes, so that's like pretty much generally

200
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 2: when they say to go. So we just sort of

201
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 2: as soon as that happened, we're like bo b lined

202
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: it straight up. The m one.

203
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: Were very fast things to dom. It was also a

204
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: rainy day, which I kind of loved.

205
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, kind set the mood and it wasn't like it

206
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 2: was yeah, it was kind of nice, wasn't it.

207
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, loved it. And then so we got to the hospital.

208
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: We went to the assessment. It's called like MAC, which

209
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: is the maternity Assessment I hated this part because I

210
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: was in so much pain, and you have to get

211
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: admitted and they have to fill out paperwork and you're

212
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: like in these little rooms with everyone else, like just

213
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: curtains between you, and I was having like mad contractions,

214
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: like compared to the other women in there.

215
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 2: Did she do an internal exam?

216
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: No?

217
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 2: No, that was in the other that was in the

218
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 2: sweet wasn't. Yeah, yep.

219
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: So we got in there and I so the big

220
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: thing was my waters had already broken to by this

221
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: point it was Wednesday morning, so my waters broke Tuesday morning,

222
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: so it had been over twenty four hours. So basically

223
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: they said, look, you can either. They did try and do.

224
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: There was this other test to see how dilated I was.

225
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: That you can do that's not internal, but they did

226
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: it and they said there was too much water in

227
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: the way. They couldn't get a proper reading. So basically

228
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: she said, my only options were to do so to

229
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: get into the berth suite, you have to be at

230
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: least four centimeters. But she said to get into the

231
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: birth seat, I need to know how dilated you are,

232
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: and I have to do an internal. But once I

233
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: do an internal, you can't leave the hospital because your

234
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: waters have broken and there's risk of infection. So this

235
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: the whole thing she said was basically, you have to

236
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: stay here either way. But if we do an internal

237
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: and you're not four centimeters, you'll have to get a

238
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: sintosin drip to you know, speed things along. So that's

239
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: in a form of induction. Otherwise you have to go

240
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: home now. And we were like, there's no way we're

241
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 1: going home, Like I was having mad contractions.

242
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 2: In the Yeah, just in that the waiting bait basically.

243
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Tim was like, oh, we're not going home.

244
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 2: Listen. And so I can't remember worse memory, But did

245
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 2: you have to get the an aesthetic in the waiting

246
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 2: bay or did you get that? We did gm in

247
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 2: any botics, any biotics, that was it.

248
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: Yes, because my waters had broken. We had to get

249
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: the antibotics for IVY.

250
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 2: Because they've been broken for twenty four hours and basically

251
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 2: you can.

252
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: Have there's high risk of infection.

253
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there is risk of infection. It's just you

254
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 2: don't really want to take the risk of not you

255
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like you just you just want

256
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 2: to Yeah.

257
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: So that was fine. So, yeah, I also had to

258
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: get any bodics for her anyway. So then we went

259
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: to the berth suite and she did an internal. The

260
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 1: midwife there. Our birth suite was lovely, hey, so it

261
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: was you have your own room, there's like a pool,

262
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: there was this beautiful aboriginal painting, like on the wall

263
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: in front of me. You have like all the stuff.

264
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: So we got in there and that was good. She

265
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: did an internal and I was only three centimeters. Ye,

266
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: So I was happy to know what that was. And

267
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: just I said to Tim after the initial internal, I

268
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: just don't want to know. So we did the three

269
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: She said three centimeters and I wasn't too worried because

270
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: I knew it was still pre labor. But basically she

271
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: was like, you need to do you want to do

272
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: the sintosin drip because you're not the four centimeters and

273
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: things are progressing really slow. And so we did a

274
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: sintosin drip a really low amount just to get things progressing.

275
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: And I was kind of happy to do that because

276
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: I was like already in so much pain. So I

277
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: was like, let's just get the show on the right.

278
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, got the shine right, and then we also got

279
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 2: the gas looked up in.

280
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: You not at this point. Not at this point, so

281
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: we just we were still doing the tense machine for

282
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: a little bit in the room.

283
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but then that didn't last very long.

284
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: No, And then so then we started. She asked if

285
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: I wanted the gas, and I was always up for gas,

286
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: and I was like, definitely get the gas. That was

287
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: some good shit, guys. So yeah, I got on the gas,

288
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: and I don't know, I liked the gas. It definitely

289
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: helps with the pain, but it does like you're so

290
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: out of it, you're completely Like I said to Tim,

291
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: for the four hours that I had gas.

292
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 2: Was it six six hours?

293
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: Six hours? See, I don't even know what time it was.

294
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: I was on a different planet.

295
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 2: Hey, Like I was trying to talk to her, like,

296
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 2: you know, talk her through the contractions and stuff, and

297
00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 2: she's like, you were a bit unresponsive. Yeah hearing I could.

298
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: So that's the things like with the gas. But also

299
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: to put it in perspective, I was in that much

300
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: pain that the gas was better. But on the gas,

301
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: like I couldn't tell you who was in the room,

302
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: what was like, I could hear Tim talking, I could

303
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: hear mom there. So my mum came also and she

304
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: met us at the assessment unit, so she was in

305
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: the birth suite with us Ye Debster and basically, yeah,

306
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: I was pretty much in a different planet, let's say.

307
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: But it was better because the pain at that point

308
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: was quite intense. I'll keep using that word intense, and

309
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: I'm someone who I have a pretty high pain threshold,

310
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: and it was pretty next level. I think it's more

311
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: just because it's so consistent so you can get through it.

312
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: My contractions were lasting a minute to a minute and

313
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: a half and you could get through it. You would rest.

314
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: But because she was posterior, even when the contraction would finish,

315
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: I was still having the back pain. So it's kind

316
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 1: of like I wasn't getting arrests And it.

317
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 2: Was just sort of like with the whole gassing, you

318
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 2: sort of just take the gas when the contraction starts,

319
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 2: and then you meant to get off it. Georgia's is

320
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 2: literally sucking on this scene for fucking six hours straight.

321
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: That's why she was so at the midwif. We had

322
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 2: like multiple midwives come in and she was like, darling,

323
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 2: you got to stop sucking on the gas, all right.

324
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: It was like death staring. She would say, stop sacking

325
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: on the gas and I'd like take it away for

326
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: a bit and they'd be like put it back. Well,

327
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: it was I don't know, it was I kind of

328
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: even like really remember that part of the day, to

329
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: be honest. And then so what were you and mum

330
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: doing during that time because I couldn't tell you.

331
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we were sort of just trying to assist

332
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 2: because obviously, like to get get her out as quickly

333
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 2: as possible, you're gonna try different positions, right, yeah, so

334
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 2: we had like so.

335
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we were thinking of having a water berth,

336
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: but because I.

337
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 2: Am, because Georgia's waters broke, yeah, twenty four hours before.

338
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 2: Basically the water birth was out of option at that

339
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 2: point because they wouldn't let me. Yeah, because if water

340
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 2: got up there and the water has already broken, it

341
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 2: could be more risk for infection.

342
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: So that was so remember like the midwife was like,

343
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 1: do you want to get in the shower, and I

344
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: didn't want to.

345
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 2: I didn't want to get with water water, so maybe.

346
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: The thought of going in the bath, I wasn't even.

347
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 2: Interested, and it was like a meant to be sort

348
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 2: of thing.

349
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

350
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, So anyway, so basically we were on the bed,

351
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 2: but then we would try and get George in different positions.

352
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 2: We had the peanut ball there, which is basically like

353
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 2: a Peanuts shaped shaped and.

354
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: So before that, the best position that I was doing

355
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: at home was on all hands and knees, hands and knees,

356
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: and that's really good for posterior because that pushes the

357
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: baby off your spine, because when you're posterior, it's spine

358
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: on spine and that's what's so painful. So I was

359
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: on my hands.

360
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 2: On knees, hanging down any position.

361
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: Or I would be hanging off the bed or the

362
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: ball and so like anything where I'm yeah, thought and

363
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 1: that was that was really good. And I also had

364
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: a canula in for my antibotics, and I was still

365
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: like on my hands and knees, so that was like

366
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: so painful.

367
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 2: It's a bit of a weird spot to put the canula.

368
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 2: I sort of asked if you could put it up

369
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 2: a bit higher, but it's.

370
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: Like yeah, she said it was weird or something. Anyway,

371
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: So I was doing those positions.

372
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 2: And then we had the other the big ball there,

373
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 2: exercise exercise ball. So we had the big exercise ball

374
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 2: there because sitting on the exercise ball and bouncing up

375
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 2: and down. It was obviously good for gravity, and then

376
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 2: good pushing the baby down sort of thing. Trying different

377
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 2: and then like sort of like moving around on the

378
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 2: ball a bit too.

379
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were trying to be active. We were trying

380
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 1: a lot of different positions. Even like at one point,

381
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: I remember I was on the bed on all fours

382
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: and that was really comfortable, and then the midwife was like,

383
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: let's try a different position, and I was like, no.

384
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 2: Happy just staying here. Also, what else is a good

385
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 2: like a slow dance, because obviously, like like George was

386
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 2: so like just exhausted, like it's like it's hard to

387
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 2: even like stand up, and then like staying all these positions,

388
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 2: so even just like a slow dance when she just

389
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 2: like had her arms like around my neck and just

390
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 2: like sort of just swaying from side to side.

391
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I've got video footage of that. Yeah, and

392
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: see that's the thing with the gas. So mum took

393
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: quite a few videos of the birth, and I don't remember.

394
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: So then what time, Hello, Missy I is next to

395
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: us as we're recording.

396
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 2: She's just like she's like she's yawning waking up.

397
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: So so what time was it that I had that

398
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: second internal done.

399
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 2: Well, that second internal was about six o'clock, basically six pm,

400
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 2: six pm.

401
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we put we got in the birth suite around.

402
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 2: Midday, eleven met midday. Okay, yeah, so it was pretty

403
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 2: much six hours in that birth week. But honestly, like

404
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 2: even for me, it just went like that because you're

405
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 2: like you're constantly moving around and like trying to do

406
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 2: different positions and midwife's coming in and out and just

407
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 2: let yeah do it in different assessments. Hey, yeah, so

408
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 2: it went super quick, even for me and your mum.

409
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 1: Yeah.

410
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

411
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: So then it was six pm and we did in

412
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: the second internal, and I had the whole birth plan

413
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: of don't tell me, but tell Tim, just because I'd

414
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: heard so many stories of people saying, you know, then

415
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: they heard they had only progressed a centimeter, and it

416
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: was like, no, it's a.

417
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 2: Bit of a mind game, isn't it.

418
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. So she did an eternal and then spoke to

419
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: Tim like at the back of the room, all right, guys,

420
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: we've just had to pick up Ivy. So if you

421
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: hear some little grunts, it's just it might be Wolf

422
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: or Ivy. Yes. So it was six pm and we

423
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: got the second internal and I actually I heard her

424
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 1: talking to Tim even in my state, and I heard

425
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: her say I heard her say she's six and a

426
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: half to seven centimeters. And so that was six pm,

427
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,239
Speaker 1: and so in my head I was like, I've just

428
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: you know, doubled in six hours. This is amazing. I'm

429
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 1: so close. So I was in a really positive headspace

430
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: and I was like, you know, in a lot of pain.

431
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: It was the hardest, the hardest challenging thing ever, like labor.

432
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,959
Speaker 1: But I was like I can do this. And I

433
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I can do this. You know, We've

434
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: got this. And it's actually really funny because I also

435
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: had a bit of a like hallucination with the gas

436
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: at this point because I knew I was close. And

437
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: we had the beautiful aboriginal painting in the birth suite

438
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: and me and Tim found out that I was pregnant

439
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: when we were on our trip to Ularuo and when

440
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: I was at Oularu before the day the day before

441
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 1: I found out, I had a massage and I said

442
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: to her, oh, look, I could be pregnant, so if

443
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 1: you can just be conscious of that, And after my massage,

444
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: she said, I think she's like, I definitely felt like

445
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: another little soul, like I think you're definitely pregnant. And

446
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: then she also said she had this vision of Aboriginal

447
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: tribal women doing like a ritual or just a traditional

448
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: ritual to like bring this little soul into this world

449
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 1: or something. And I kind of was like, oh, yeah,

450
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: like didn't really think too much of it. But when yeah,

451
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: after that looking at the Aboriginal painting, I remembered that

452
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 1: and had this like hallucination and I also like, oh,

453
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: it's so special. What I'm gonna cry. I also had

454
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: this like vision of like meeting Ivy and like bringing

455
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: her into this world. Yeah, like I don't know how

456
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: to explain it. Like I was like, and I said

457
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,199
Speaker 1: to her, I'm ready for you. You know, it's you know,

458
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: I've got you. We're here, we love you so much.

459
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 1: I'm ready for you. It's time to come, if that

460
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: makes sense. So no joke. After I don't know, because

461
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: time's warped when you're in labor. But after that happened,

462
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 1: I started bearing down. So if you guys don't know,

463
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: bearing down is basically the pushing stage of labor. When

464
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: you were tense, met is dilated and it's the response

465
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: that your body does, like it's not something you do.

466
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 2: Your body just does it automatic.

467
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's like this primal thing you have no

468
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: control and you just start pushing.

469
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 2: You can't like you can't you can't control it.

470
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: And so I started bearing down and I thought, oh

471
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: my god, you know, I'm so high on this gas.

472
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: This time's gone so quick. I'm fully dilated, and it's

473
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: time to push. But then I saw everyone else's faces

474
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: in the room and the midwife was like it was

475
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: oh no. She was like, oh no, darling, it is

476
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: not time to push, Like you have to stop pushing.

477
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 2: But George couldn't like control the pushing, and it was

478
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 2: just it was just sort of happened.

479
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 1: Well, so, and so I just said to her like

480
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: I can't, like I can't control it. I'm I'm pushing,

481
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 1: and she was like, you're not fully dilated, like when

482
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: you need to just text you maybe seven centimeters. It's

483
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: not time to push. You need to really lacks. You

484
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: need to calm down and stop pushing. Anyway, So each contraction,

485
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: I would be pushing in that contraction and I was

486
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: trying not to push. I was like, yeah, trying to

487
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: relax and whatnot. But every contraction I was pushing and

488
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: also at this point I did notice I could kind

489
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 1: of feel it and Tim was, you know, cleaning it up,

490
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 1: but I noticed I started bleeding.

491
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, So each contraction, like obviously we were there sort

492
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 2: of trying to like assist clean up. It was just

493
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 2: it was all out on the TABLET was like, it's

494
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 2: just there's no going back.

495
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 1: Tim seen it all.

496
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 2: I have literally fucking seen it all. And it's not pretty. No,

497
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 2: It's just what you do, isn't it. So each contraction George,

498
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 2: it was quite a lot of blood coming out at

499
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 2: this point, at each contraction when I was bearing down,

500
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 2: when George was bearing down, Yeah, and it was an

501
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 2: So we're just like, I don't think this is quite normal. No,

502
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 2: So the midwife basically.

503
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 1: Had a convo with Tea.

504
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's she because when she did the internal assessment,

505
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 2: she could also feel this what it was. And the

506
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 2: reason why George was bleeding is because so basically she

507
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 2: was pushing down while she was pushing Ivy out because

508
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 2: she was posterior, her head was getting stuck on George's cervix.

509
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: So I had a cervical lip.

510
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. So it's basically called a cervical lip is where

511
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 2: the part of the cervix is swollen.

512
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: Because the head was not in the proper position, she

513
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: was posterious.

514
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 2: So basically, each contraction, George's pushing Ivy down onto the

515
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 2: part of the cervix and she's just hitting the cervix

516
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 2: and it's just it's not working. And then she's sort

517
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 2: of gone back up again.

518
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: And it's so then the cervix started swelling even.

519
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 2: More, Yes, swelling up, and that's why I was bleeding.

520
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 2: This is what the bleeding was.

521
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: So basically what I remember is I started bearing down.

522
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: Everyone looked for concerned, and it was you know, communicated

523
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: to me, I need to stop bearing down because I

524
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: had a cervical lip because of her head being posterior.

525
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: And so cervical lips is just like a swelling of

526
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: the cervix, and if the baby's not posterior, it's usually

527
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: fine and it just slows labor. But because I was

528
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: bearing down and I was basically pushing her head onto

529
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: the cervix and it wasn't open, it was swelling even

530
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: more and I was bleeding. So then the midwife was

531
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: basically like, look, you're bleeding. You know, stuff is happening

532
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: in there. What's going to happen is if you keep

533
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: bearing down, the baby's going to go on to distress

534
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: and we're going to have to do emergency ce sex.

535
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 2: Well, it was not only that. She said, if you

536
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 2: keep bearing down and you keep like the service keeps

537
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 2: swelling up, the whole cervix will swell up, and then

538
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 2: you won't be able to give birth naturally, and that's

539
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 2: when you'll have to go into it an emergency section. Yeah.

540
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: And then she also said also and in distress because

541
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: her little head and guys, when she was born, you

542
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: could see like this full bruise on her head, this

543
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: red mark where her head was pushing on the service,

544
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: like smashing down on the services anyway. Anyway, So and

545
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: then I remember having a conversation with Tim and he

546
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: was like.

547
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 2: Well, because when I talked to the midwife basically when

548
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 2: she said that, I said, all right, so I guess

549
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 2: what's the option our other options? She said, all right,

550
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 2: so we've got two options. She said. The first option

551
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 2: will be morphine, which can just basically take the pain away,

552
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 2: not necessarily.

553
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: So the whole thing with morphine, well, the whole thing

554
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: with the options was I needed to calm down and

555
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: stop bearing down to stop the swelling.

556
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, basically stopped the swelling of the cervix so that

557
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 2: could swell and then we could actually give birth naturally.

558
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. So the two options she said, we can do

559
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: morphine or we can do an EPI DURL. So I

560
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,719
Speaker 1: personally have had more thine before and it makes me

561
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: really sick and nauseous and also a bit depressed after

562
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: I've had it, Like I just don't do well with it.

563
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 2: When you had your boobs taken out, yeah, not good.

564
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: So basically Tim had a convo with me and he

565
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: was like, look, I know it's not what we planned,

566
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: but this is what we need to do to get

567
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: her out safely, you know, for you and baby girl.

568
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: And as soon as he kind of said that to me,

569
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: I was like, yeap, whatever we need.

570
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 2: To do, it just goes just fucking give me the

571
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 2: effie durl, Give me the effie dirrel.

572
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: Because also at that point I was I could feel

573
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: that something was wrong and I was starting to get

574
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: distressed myself, and I was like, there's no way I'm

575
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: calming down because I couldn't stop bearing down. I was bleeding.

576
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: I could feel something was wrong, and so I was like,

577
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: let's get at the epidural and just go from there

578
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: because she she's I could still hear conversations in the

579
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: room and I still remember someone going, you know, this

580
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: might not work and she might still have to have

581
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: a sea section. So I was just like, let's get

582
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: this sort of because I not that I'm you know,

583
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: against sea sections or anything like that, but I just

584
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: I knew at that point I couldn't keep going with

585
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: what we were doing, because she did give us half

586
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: an hour. She said, let's wait half an hour and

587
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: see if she stops bearing down and whatnot. I didn't.

588
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: I was bearing down for it was just I was

589
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: I was like biting down on the gas when I

590
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: was bearing down, and basically just like the mouthpiece was

591
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: all chewed on.

592
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 2: Hey yeah, yeah yeah, because I had to like when

593
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 2: because I didn't really do it when the midwiser in there.

594
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 2: So the midwife left the room and it was this

595
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 2: was my opportunity to try the gas. So I was like, babe, babe,

596
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 2: let me try some gas.

597
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, I'm like literally in pain having contractions.

598
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 2: She's like all right, So I was just like grab

599
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 2: the gas. Looked at the mouthpiece mouth piece of the

600
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 2: gas thing was like literally tuned in half.

601
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: I was biting down the whole.

602
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 2: Part of our birthplane. Was like for me to be like, Babe,

603
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 2: relaxes your because if you relax your you're your pelvis

604
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 2: relaxes as well because it's all joined. Your jaw was

605
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 2: definitely not relaxed. No, I wonder why she wasn't covered out.

606
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: Baby. You don't understand how much can start imagine you

607
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: and labor. So anyway, okay, rn C fam, We're taking

608
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: a quick break and I want to ask you, guys,

609
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: are you getting your daily recommended intake of three fruits

610
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: and five veggies?

611
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 2: No?

612
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: Sometimes maybe I feel you on this.

613
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 2: Wow.

614
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: So, in a perfect world, we are getting all our vitamin,

615
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: minerals and needs from our food directly. But because we

616
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: live such hectic lives and our soil is often lacking

617
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: from so much farming done, that doesn't always happen. And

618
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: that's why supplements are so popular, and that's why Naked

619
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: Harvest was born just to be very transparent with you.

620
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: So what we really wanted to do was make sure

621
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: you're getting what you need in a convenient way when

622
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: you're not getting your daily recommended intake of veggies in.

623
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: So introducing our newest product, Gorgeous Greens, which is a

624
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: greens powder that actually tastes delicious. So we have been

625
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: formulating this for quite a while because honestly, it was

626
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: so hard to have a greens powder that has all

627
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: the good stuff and that tastes delicious, Like I honestly

628
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: get why so many other greens powders just taste so foul.

629
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: And honestly, any other greens powder I bought, I've just

630
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: never finished and I just throw it away. So there

631
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: are two flavors. That is very vanilla and Mango magic.

632
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: I recommend getting very vanilla if you just want to

633
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: add it to your smoothies, but if you do want

634
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 1: to have it by itself, Mango magic is so delicious

635
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: and so flavorsome. Also, guys, the greens plowder is gluten free,

636

Speaker 1: one scoop equals one serfs of veggies, so you're really

652
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: get back into the show. Okay. So then we got

653
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: the we'll speed things along. So we've been thirty minutes ready.

654
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,439
Speaker 1: So then we got the epi dural. It took him

655
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: three times.

656
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,240
Speaker 2: Three time to do it, but we got him pretty

657
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 2: quick with a bit.

658
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: Butts of people asked if the epi durol was painful,

659
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: and honestly, compared to contractions, it's not painful at all.

660
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 1: Like I didn't feel it.

661
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 2: I do it three times three times. I didn't actually

662
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 2: like watch how big the needle? Was there anything to

663
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 2: see or anything like that, because I was sort of

664
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,280
Speaker 2: on the other side assisting you. Because George was actually

665
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 2: still getting contractions while he was doing the EPI and

666
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 2: had he had to like stop each time she would

667
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 2: have a contraction because you have to get it in

668
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 2: this perfect part of your back. And when George was

669
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 2: having contractions, she was like moving her back and stuff,

670
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 2: and he just couldn't do it during Yeah, so it

671
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:20,240
Speaker 2: was sort.

672
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: Of like happened my contractions were coming so often.

673
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was such a it was fucking hectic.

674
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:28,240
Speaker 1: It was pretty hectic.

675
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 2: Oh man. Everyone there was like six seven people in there,

676
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 2: and it was just like, oh man.

677
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: Well because also when the whole thing was happening of

678
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: me bearing down, I could tell something was wrong because

679
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,439
Speaker 1: there was like more midwives and there was like more

680
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,479
Speaker 1: people in there, and I was like, oh no, yeah, fit.

681
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:50,280
Speaker 1: So we got the EPI and that started working, and honestly,

682
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: within twenty minutes that like was that worked and I

683
00:36:55,920 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: stopped bearing down like slowly in each contraction, Like this

684
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: feeling is just oh god, it's so good after being

685
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: in labor and in that much pain, because I had been.

686
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: I had my contractions started the night before, so at

687
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: this point it was nearly twenty four hours in later

688
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: in natural labor, Like, oh my god. So then it

689
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: started working and I could actually still feel my contractions

690
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: and I could still feel everything, but it just felt

691
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: like a sensation rather than pain. And for the first

692
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:34,760
Speaker 1: time that day, I could relax and be present.

693
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 2: Hey, yeah, so George, I'm just about laughing basical because

694
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 2: George was basically dosed up on fent yl.

695
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: I was so I was out of it, guys.

696
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 2: I was like high as.

697
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: I was so present and I was there in the room,

698
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: but I was like cracking jokes at.

699
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 2: One point, Yeah, cracking that funny. Is Like, it was

700
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 2: just so much It was so much of a It

701
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 2: was so much much of a better mood when George

702
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 2: got the EPI, because it like everyone started to relax

703
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 2: because George was relaxed, Like it was so like the

704
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 2: tension was high and everyone was freaking out. And then yeah,

705
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 2: and then once you get the API, it was just like,

706
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 2: oh yeah.

707
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: Because I want to comment on this because obviously I

708
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 1: got to experience both sides of natural labor, very intense,

709
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: and then also the e pie and I'm so glad

710
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: we got to experience both sides, like both me and Tim.

711
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: But the difference with the EPI was I could be present,

712
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: I could communicate with Tim. I could still feel the contractions,

713
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: and I was still using my hypno birthing breathing techniques

714
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: to breathe through them more to like, you know, breathe

715
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:48,959
Speaker 1: her down. But it was just so much more enjoyable

716
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: and I was I don't know, I was there whereas

717
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: when I was in labor before, because I was in

718
00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: so much pain and because I was having the gas,

719
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 1: I was on a different planet, Like I completely took

720
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: myself out of my body because it was so painful,

721
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. But with the EPI, I could

722
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: be present in the room with Tim and Mum and

723
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 1: the midwives, and I think I just felt so much

724
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: more in control and just it was a lot better.

725
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie, I said to Tim. I do

726
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: understand why people get ePIE drills, because the experience was

727
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: a lot more endurable, enjoyable.

728
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 2: Just for everyone, because it's doing this, doing that.

729
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 1: And also seeing me in so much pain, yes.

730
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 2: In your pain, and then it's just like freaking hell

731
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 2: and yeah, So basically we got the e pie and

732
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 2: then and then yeah, and we could all just relax

733
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 2: a bit.

734
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they even said, oh, like you know, I

735
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,919
Speaker 1: got to eat for the first time that day because

736
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: I wasn't eating beforehand. And then she did an eternal

737
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: and within an hour two hours, within two hours, she went.

738
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 2: From six and a half to fully dilate.

739
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: It fully dilated and then no push.

740
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 2: Yep, no no swollen cervix, so the swelling had gone down.

741
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 2: And then within two yeah, two hours, she was ready

742
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 2: to go.

743
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: Not only was I fully dilated, but Ivy's head had

744
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: fully come down. It was like sitting there ready to push.

745
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 2: She was good to go.

746
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think that was and within those two hours,

747
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 1: like me and Tim were talking, we had a bit

748
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: of food. It was quite like nice. And then they're like, yeah,

749
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 1: you're ready to go, You're ready to push, and it

750
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: was just like we were like, awesome.

751
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 2: It was such a nice more of a nice experience

752
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 2: basically getting the EPI.

753
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: It really was Yeah, well yeah, of course, because yeah,

754
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: I could not be in screaming paint. But yeah, so

755
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: then it was time to push, and I for an hour.

756
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 2: I think it was an hour.

757
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, about an hour, and I think and then because

758
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 1: I had the ePIE, I was obviously on my back

759
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 1: on the bed, I could still feel the contraction, so

760
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: I could still tell them, Hey, I'm about to have

761
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 1: a contraction, and then we would push and then so

762
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 1: what we ended up doing is there was a midwife

763
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 1: and a student midwife. So it was Ash and she

764
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: had a student midwife with her, and they were so good,

765
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: they were like so professional, so lovely. They made the

766
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: like experience amazing. Hey. And so we had the student

767
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: midwife holding one leg, Tim holding the other mom down

768
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 1: the end because she was filming, and then the midwife

769
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: and yeah, so I was pushing for an hour and

770
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:58,840
Speaker 1: you could like see her head was sitting there trying

771
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 1: to come out. And basically it just got to the

772
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: point where we were pushing for quite a while and ye,

773
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: like we got some.

774
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 2: It was she was coming out, wasn't she.

775
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, so she's coming you know, down and up and

776
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: doing that.

777
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 2: But then for ages, her head got to this point

778
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 2: and George had about fok and four to five contractions

779
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,439
Speaker 2: and then she would just sort of in and then out,

780
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,439
Speaker 2: in and out. So she basically didn't want to come

781
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:24,240
Speaker 2: past this point.

782
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. So yeah, because it's usual for the head to

783
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,800
Speaker 1: go up and down at the start to stretch the

784
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: paranal skin. But then her head was just sitting there.

785
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:37,439
Speaker 1: So the midwife got the head midwife and basically they

786
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: decided they were like, her head is right there, you're

787
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: not big enough. Like the whole just I just was

788
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 1: not big enough. The head is not going to fit.

789
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: She was a pretty big baby, and they're like, we

790
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: we want to just do a really small cut and

791
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,720
Speaker 1: honestly she'll come out like the next pushy.

792
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 2: And I was like, listen at this point, fucking you,

793
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 2: do anything you want.

794
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,439
Speaker 1: Literally, do anything you want. Let's get this baby out.

795
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: And also the pushing stage is so exhausting.

796
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 2: So because by then this it was like twenty this

797
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 2: was twenty five hours. Yeah, twenty five and a half hours,

798
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 2: basically a full day, and like we'd both been up,

799
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 2: we're both just like slapt.

800
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: And yeah, so anyway, they did the snip, didn't feel it.

801
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,879
Speaker 1: Did the snip. Literally the next push she came out.

802
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, well the next push her, the next traction, her

803
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 2: head came out, and then she was sitting there for

804
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 2: ages with the little head out and I was like,

805
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 2: oh my god, there's a fucking head out, Tim, and

806
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 2: I was literally saw the whole thing. I was just like, oh,

807
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 2: the grad and then it was like for a minute,

808
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 2: and then the next contraction after that, which was about

809
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 2: a minute later, push push, push, push push, and then

810
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 2: just the whole rest of it. As soon as they're

811
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 2: head and then the shoulders came out, it just was

812
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:55,240
Speaker 2: just like just literally just came out, just like this,

813
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 2: this this long ass baby. It's just like the head

814
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 2: coming out and then the rest of the baby just

815
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 2: like shot out, and I was like, holy shit, it

816
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 2: was like the most amazing thing I've ever seen. I

817
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 2: couldn't believe it.

818
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: And then the midwife picked her up put her on

819
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:17,760
Speaker 1: my chest, and me and Tim were just so emotional, emotional,

820
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 1: We were so emotional. And see that was also another thing,

821
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: as I had a girlfriend who had a full natural labor,

822
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:28,720
Speaker 1: and she said she was so exhausted and so out

823
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: of it towards the end because she had been like

824
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: laboring for so long and in so much pain that

825
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 1: when the baby got put on her chest, she like

826
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 1: not that she like didn't care, but you just so

827
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 1: exhausted that she couldn't even like have a present moment.

828
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 1: But because I had the epidural and I had a

829
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: bit of food, and I had time to like regain

830
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 1: my strength and be present and be there with Tim

831
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 1: when she got put on my chest, like I remember

832
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: everything and I was I was so there and I

833
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: just I don't know how to.

834
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 2: Explain it away. And it was we just like could

835
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 2: not believe, like she was finally like out.

836
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:08,760
Speaker 1: She looks like a little alien.

837
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 2: She's all purple.

838
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 1: She was all you know, they have all like the

839
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 1: grow stuff on them. But it was just such an

840
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 1: incredible experience, hey, babe, Like I can't even explain it.

841
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 1: Like even though it didn't go to plan, it was

842
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 1: not like so my mom, I have three brothers, so

843
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:33,720
Speaker 1: she had four kids, all natural, and she couldn't believe

844
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: my labor just because you know they you know, first

845
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 1: she was posterior, and then my waters broke early, and

846
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: then I had to get the ani bodies and like

847
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: all these things, like she couldn't believe all like the

848
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: roadblocks that came up. And after she said to me,

849
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: she's like, you know, for everything that happened, she was

850
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: just like you handled it so good and just yeah,

851
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: she was in awe. Hey. Yeah, And because I think

852
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: that is a big thing about the birth is because

853
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: a lot of people, you know, it doesn't go the

854
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: way you want and you can get lacks stuck on that.

855
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: But I said to Tim, like, we had the most

856
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 1: perfect birth for us.

857
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, and because we did. The reason why I was

858
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 2: so perfect because we gave each section of the whole

859
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 2: experience our best. Yeah, and that's why it was just

860
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 2: like we did as most as we basically called the

861
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:27,399
Speaker 2: whole time.

862
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 1: And I felt very empowered through everything. So like through

863
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 1: you know, the natural labor. It's it was painful, but

864
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: I felt like I could do it. I felt empowered.

865
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 1: I was like in a positive mindset. As soon as

866
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: we had to change gears and get the EP, I

867
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, this is what we're doing. I still felt,

868
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:46,280
Speaker 1: you know, empowered. I think it's so much about mindset.

869
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:47,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

870
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, So we had such an incredible, incredible experience. We

871
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 1: had skin to skin for about two hours, and we

872
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: did delayed cord clamping. I also got my placenta encapsulated,

873
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 1: so like we had to like box up the placenter.

874
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:03,240
Speaker 2: I've got to cut the cord.

875
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: Tim cut the cord and then the midwives like they

876
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 1: full show you the placenta. Hey, and they're like, so,

877
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 1: my placenta was over eight hundred grams.

878
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 2: It was almost sequilo.

879
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: It was almost sequillo. So they said it's one of

880
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: the biggest placentas they've seen. No wonder why people kept

881
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 1: asking if I've got twins.

882
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:26,360
Speaker 2: So basically is almost the same size as the baby.

883
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, So then we did that. Tim had some skin

884
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 1: to skin and then she said everything was good with Ivy.

885
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 1: They did the check, but there was just something wrong

886
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 1: with her breathing and she wasn't too worried, but she

887
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 1: just said, I just want to get the pede surgeon

888
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 1: down just to double check to be safe, and so

889
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:50,320
Speaker 1: he came down.

890
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:51,839
Speaker 2: So the pediatrician.

891
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 1: Pediatrician came down and basically, long story short, Ivy did

892
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 1: have some breathing issue. She was breathing too fast.

893
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, so she was fine, Harpy, it was fine. She

894
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:05,839
Speaker 2: was just breathing because obviously in the room they haven't

895
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 2: had to breathe. She comes out and yeah, she was

896
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 2: just breathing too quick, so regular. Yeah, so she wasn't

897
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:14,800
Speaker 2: too bad, but yeah, it was just yeah.

898
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:17,479
Speaker 1: So basically we had to take her to Nick you

899
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 1: and by this point it was like two thirty am,

900
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,800
Speaker 1: and they just said, look, we want to be safe.

901
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 1: We'd rather be safe than sorry. We want to put

902
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 1: her on an oxygen machine just to make sure her

903
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 1: breathing's regular. You guys, go get some sleep and like

904
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:32,720
Speaker 1: come see her in the morning.

905
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

906
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 1: So we didn't actually get to spend the first night together,

907
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 1: but to be completely honest, me and Tim were so exhausted.

908
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,240
Speaker 1: We went back to the room and we both slept

909
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 1: for like six hours.

910
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it was a little bit less than that.

911
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 2: It was four hours, but it felt like the best

912
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 2: four hours of my life.

913
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: You know, when you go to sleep and you wake

914
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 1: up in the exact same position because you're so tired.

915
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:56,399
Speaker 2: So you go from we didn't go back into the bust.

916
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:58,799
Speaker 2: They take you up to the next level and they

917
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 2: give you like a room. Basically, you're just just a

918
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:04,879
Speaker 2: room you stay in after birth. Yeah, so that's where

919
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:06,720
Speaker 2: there was. George had her own bed and I didn't.

920
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:10,280
Speaker 2: I just was the past. Yeah.

921
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,760
Speaker 1: So then we went and saw Ivy the next morning,

922
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: and she got off that machine the next day and

923
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 1: she was all good and we could. We stayed for

924
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: two nights just to check up everything.

925
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just wanted to look over and make sure

926
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 2: she was all good.

927
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 1: And that was actually good because then we saw like

928
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 1: the lactation uh person after and you know, got all

929
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: our checks. So we did stay in hospital for two nights.

930
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's our birth story. What So we're just

931
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 1: going to answer a couple more questions just that Instagram

936
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 2: down the best coffee frappe I've ever had in my life.

937
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 2: Got us, that got us through the extra couple of nights.

938
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:02,839
Speaker 1: We had to say that, hey yeah both, Yeah, we

939
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: were so like I would get a hospital meal and

940
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 1: then Tim would get a meal from the cafe and

941
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: we would share both. So the question is how did

942
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 1: hypno birthing play a role in the birth. So me

943
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 1: and Tim did hypno birthing. We did it with Shari

944
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: from Belly to Birth, who are link in the show notes.

945
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:26,800
Speaker 1: She was amazing, She was amazing. She was so good

946
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:30,320
Speaker 1: and I think the biggest role that played, even though

947
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,839
Speaker 1: you know our birth didn't go to plan and whatnot,

948
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:38,400
Speaker 1: but having the techniques for me, the breathing techniques, the meditation,

949
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 1: and also learning about everything, especially for you. Do you

950
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:45,879
Speaker 1: agree that that was really hard.

951
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you know, as as all blokes pretty much

952
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 2: have no idea about anything about birth, so it was

953
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:56,800
Speaker 2: it was super informative. I really enjoyed it. I just

954
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 2: got you could learn all the terms, you know what,

955
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 2: basically how it's all going to roll, and yeah, it

956
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 2: was just I felt very educated after it.

957
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I think also even when I had the

958
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 1: EPI drill, I was still using the hypno birthing breathing

959
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 1: techniques and that's like, that's what the midwife said, she

960
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: came down so farst is because I was still like

961
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 1: breathing through it. I was still using all the techniques.

962
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that was such a catalyst in

963
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: the berth for it being such a positive experience for sure.

964
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, for both of us.

965
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:37,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. Next question of Tim, this is a lovely one.

966
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 1: How has Ivy strengthened your bond as a couple. So

967
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:44,439
Speaker 1: we were in the shower when the night we got

968
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 1: home from the hospital, and Tim said to me, like,

969
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 1: because we were both it was just such an intention experience.

970
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 1: And he actually said to me, he's like, Babe, after that,

971
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:59,760
Speaker 1: I feel like, no matter what happens in our relationship, we.

972
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,279
Speaker 2: Just get through any anything, because it's just like you

973
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:06,440
Speaker 2: can't I can't even describe just what happens. It just

974
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 2: makes you, like the bond so much stronger.

975
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 1: And I think also like having so much respect for

976
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 1: each other.

977
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was such like a team effort that what

978
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,800
Speaker 2: we had to go through, and it was just such

979
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:24,760
Speaker 2: a hectic, amazing, beautiful experience. It's just like it's life tanging.

980
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 1: It's like nothing else I have ever experienced. And then

981
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 1: to go through it with Tim, him being so involved,

982
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 1: him being a part of it, you know, and then

983
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 1: us birthing this human like I just I can't even

984
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: explain to you crazy. And it is like what Tim

985
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 1: said about like, if we can get through that, we

986
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 1: can get through anything. Oh like, if we were ever

987
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 1: to like fight or have problems in the future, I

988
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 1: will literally think, if we can get through that labor.

989
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:54,280
Speaker 2: We can do anything.

990
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: We can do anything. Someone said, now that you're a mum,

991
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: what is your number one tip you'd pass on to

992
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,720
Speaker 1: the first time mums about birth.

993
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:06,400
Speaker 2: See. I think this is a great question because people

994
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 2: don't really people like you were saying, people are so

995
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 2: fixed on the birth part, right, but not what happens

996
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 2: after birth.

997
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. So we were actually discussing this last night and

998
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: I said to my parents, I said, you know, for

999
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 1: the whole pregnancy, the eight months, I was so focused

1000
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: on the birth, which is you know, was twenty four hours,

1001
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 1: and I didn't do any research or prep for the

1002
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 1: newborn stage, which Ivy is a month old, and we've

1003
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:36,400
Speaker 1: we've had an experience, to say the least, which we

1004
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 1: won't get into that way. We've just learnt so much

1005
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 1: or a whole other podcast. But I wish I had

1006
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:45,439
Speaker 1: focused more like still the birth, still the hypno birth thing.

1007
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 1: But I wish I did research about newborns because I

1008
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 1: don't know, I just didn't think about it. And that

1009
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:55,800
Speaker 1: would like for you too, hey, just to like no more.

1010
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 2: Oh definitely, yeah, but yeah, I mean, and at the

1011
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:00,800
Speaker 2: same time, it's sort of like you just got to

1012
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:03,399
Speaker 2: take it as it comes as well, because obviously every

1013
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,840
Speaker 2: baby is different. You can't like plan for what's going

1014
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:09,240
Speaker 2: to happen after birth, but you can definitely educate yourself.

1015
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:12,280
Speaker 1: So next question this is for you Tim. So someone asked,

1016
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 1: would love to know how Tim went with the birth.

1017
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 1: My husband really struggled, not being able to help me.

1018
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 2: So this comes back to probably doing the hypno, like

1019
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 2: starting off doing hypno birthing classes, learning all the terms,

1020
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 2: the tricks of the trade.

1021
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:29,399
Speaker 1: Can I quickly say, like Tim was so involved and

1022
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:34,840
Speaker 1: so invested, and you were just so present and there

1023
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 1: and even though you know I'm there in pain, Tim

1024
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 1: was like do you need water? Do you want fruit?

1025
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,839
Speaker 2: Yeah? Just being super hands on, being super just like

1026
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 2: just just getting it, getting it happen, and really getting involved,

1027
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 2: helping the midwives out as well, because it's like you

1028
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:51,360
Speaker 2: only got one midwife and she's trying to do this,

1029
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 2: run around and do this. It's like, yeah, being involved

1030
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:57,440
Speaker 2: is like such an important part, not just for you,

1031
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 2: it's just it was more for George. Basically just didn't

1032
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 2: make it as easy as possible for the whole process

1033
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:04,240
Speaker 2: to go as smoothly as possible.

1034
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:06,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and I guess maybe this person saying like,

1035
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: did you struggle a bit just like seeing me in pain?

1036
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 2: Oh of course I thought, Man, it was horrible, but

1037
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:16,360
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, it's only going to be temporary. Yeah,

1038
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 2: so it's you just got a.

1039
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:19,920
Speaker 1: Sort of and you have a baby at the end,

1040
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:24,319
Speaker 1: so it's like it that's it. So someone asks what

1041
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:27,440
Speaker 1: got you through the contractions? Did you feel empowered in

1042
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: control or like you had to surrender to the pain.

1043
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:36,800
Speaker 1: What external things helped? So I found music was really helpful.

1044
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:40,240
Speaker 2: We had we had the Wonder Boom in there, yeah, pumping.

1045
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 2: We had the birth playlist that.

1046
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:45,280
Speaker 1: We had lots of comments that everyone loved up playlist.

1047
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Midwives will loved the playlist, so it was

1048
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 2: it's sort of a special It was sort of a

1049
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 2: special playlist because it was sort of all our favorite song.

1050
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. So the song that played as we as she

1051
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: came out was a song that Means and Tim had

1052
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 1: done like the Hypno birthing meditation together, and it was

1053
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:06,840
Speaker 1: really special.

1054
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,879
Speaker 2: It was a very intimate song, so it was quite

1055
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:13,919
Speaker 2: fitting for us to choose that as the birth song.

1056
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 2: As She came out.

1057
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was beautiful. So in regards to contractions, honestly,

1058
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 1: the biggest thing is just surrendering. There's no way you

1059
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:26,319
Speaker 1: can be in control of contractions and Also what got

1060
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 1: me through is going, you know, this will finish in

1061
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:32,360
Speaker 1: a minute, and just looking the little bit a head.

1062
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:35,359
Speaker 1: Like when I found out I was six centimeters. It's

1063
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 1: not like I thought, oh my god, that took six

1064
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 1: hours and that was fucked. It was I've done so

1065
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 1: much already, It's going to go so quickly. I just

1066
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:48,439
Speaker 1: have to get through the next contraction and go from there.

1067
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 1: And I think you need to surrender to the pain

1068
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 1: and think of the pain not as pain, but as

1069
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 1: this is going to get me closer to my baby,

1070
00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 1: and I can do it. Okay, So this is a

1071
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 1: good one. This person said, did you have an expection

1072
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 1: of how your birth would go? And like, how did

1073
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 1: you feel about it? Expectations?

1074
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:12,840
Speaker 2: Sorry, Oh, like, I don't know. I didn't really have

1075
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:15,880
Speaker 2: an expectation because we had never experienced it before. But

1076
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 2: I guess it was sort of something like it. Hey,

1077
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 2: Like I thought maybe it might run a little bit

1078
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 2: smoother than what it did. Well other than that.

1079
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, because my mum had four natural births that went

1080
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: pretty smooth to plan, I kind of thought I would

1081
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 1: be the same. Yeah, And so when these things kept

1082
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 1: coming up, I did think, surely, not another thing yeah,

1083
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 1: but in saying that, it's all about mindset, and like

1084
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 1: I said, I truly believe the birth you have is

1085
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 1: perfect for you and like your baby and your partner,

1086
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 1: and we just fully embraced it.

1087
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:55,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's also like because we've got something out

1088
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 2: of our experience. Yes, it's like it's brought us closer. Yeah,

1089
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 2: So it's almost like.

1090
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 1: It was it was worth it. It was worth it

1091
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 1: because yeah, like like Tim said, like the experience we

1092
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 1: went through, the bond we have now, it's just like, yeah,

1093
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 1: definitely worth it. So another person said, did you use

1094
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 1: everything you packed for hospital? So I fully packed like

1095
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 1: fairy lights and like all these things. And to be honest,

1096
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 1: when we got on the birth suite, I was in

1097
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 1: so much pain that I like didn't use that. I

1098
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 1: didn't use my diffuser. It was just kind of like.

1099
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 2: It happened basically, So the speaker and the music, that's

1100
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 2: probably the biggest thing important, super important.

1101
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: And also like what was good is like Tim went

1102
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 1: and bought some mum when and bought some like fruit,

1103
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:43,880
Speaker 1: cut up fruit, and I was having that.

1104
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 2: And then tell them about the when you had it.

1105
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 2: So when Joey had the EPI and she was pretty

1106
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 2: much high in life. We packed basically a goodies a

1107
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:57,400
Speaker 2: goodies bag and she's like, give me the killers.

1108
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I needed sugar, I needed energy. And I was like,

1109
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 1: get out the killer pythons and I was just like munging.

1110
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 2: On them and that was the best hilarious.

1111
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 1: So another thing post birth when you're still in the

1112
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:15,080
Speaker 1: hospital is I definitely had those like full like nappies

1113
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:17,960
Speaker 1: and they were good because you've got so much bleeding

1114
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 1: and then after that have period undies or pads. Ready,

1115
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think if there's anything else like pajamas,

1116
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 1: comfy clothes.

1117
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 2: But then make sure you've got all the stuff for

1118
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 2: the baby as well. Yeah, so blank stuff like yeah,

1119
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:38,920
Speaker 2: heaps and nappies. Yeah, baby could get to do a

1120
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 2: few changes.

1121
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 1: Also, what was really good in the hospital is I

1122
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 1: had one of those hauker self expressing things, which was

1123
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:51,920
Speaker 1: really good to get colossroom out for her instead of

1124
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 1: hand expressing with a syringe, which is just a bit crazy.

1125
00:59:56,760 --> 01:00:04,880
Speaker 1: Definitely get one of those Haukka expressing things. Okay, last question, Okay,

1126
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:08,960
Speaker 1: so last question, what was your most memorable moment highlight

1127
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 1: of the birth. Do you want to go first you

1128
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 1: go first, well, I think just the moment she came out,

1129
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 1: was put on my chest and I looked at Tim

1130
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:27,440
Speaker 1: like saw his face and you know, just like the

1131
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 1: first time I saw her, of course, and then yeah,

1132
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 1: like me and Tim had like a little cuddle and

1133
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 1: it was just incredible. Like there's just yeah, I can't

1134
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 1: even describe it. I like, so funny because you're so emotional.

1135
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 1: The hormones are crazy. The first couple of weeks after birth,

1136
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 1: and every time I thought of it, I would just cry.

1137
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 1: And then I think also the moment we got home

1138
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 1: from the hospital, she was asleep, Me and Tim had

1139
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,960
Speaker 1: a shower, which was like the best thing ever, and

1140
01:00:57,200 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 1: we both kind of looked at each other and we're like,

1141
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:00,840
Speaker 1: we have the baby now.

1142
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 2: And we're like we did it, Like we did it.

1143
01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 1: We Yeah, it's.

1144
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 2: Such something like nine months of like this leader one

1145
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 2: event is just like it's so hectic, you know, and

1146
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 2: then like we finally got home from it all, it's

1147
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 2: just like.

1148
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well, I think that's the biggest thing is

1149
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 1: I think I'm just so proud of us.

1150
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm super proud of us.

1151
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 1: We did it. It was marathon, but it was the

1152
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 1: most incredible experience. And yeah, we've got this beautiful little
