Introducing my beautiful baby boy born 2 days ago
Introducing my beautiful baby boy born 2 days ago! He is a grand total of 6lbs 7oz, 19.5” after an incredible 42 hours of labor- all natural homebirth! It was certainly rough mostly due to the fact that I had a deep muscle spasm/pain in my left side of my back that was even worse than the contractions, started very early on in early labor and was not relieved by hardly anything - we tried ALL the tricks in our toolbox: massage, physical therapy, hot water, arnica oil, electrical stimulation, CBD severe pain level cream, and cupping. Turns out the baby had his elbow malpositioned, so I literally had no break from pain. I’m pretty sure had I not been at home, there is a chance I could have been talked into medication... But I stuck it out and made it through with deep breathing, low pitched sounds and lots of support and affirmations from my birthing team. 🙌🏼💕 Definitely the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Baby and I are good and resting. We couldn’t be happier. ❤️
