POSITIVE Birth Story - How God Helped Me During My Labor

I birthed 2 babies who are grown now. My first was Natural...my second, C-Section...he too was sunny side up. Never could dilate over 1 cm. After many hours of labor. I was so sick when I went n labor, with an awful cold, could hardly breathe. There's no shame in any birth. One morning about 4 months after my Mama went to Heaven, I was grieving so bad. I walked to my kitchen window, the trees, bushes, ground, looked like a carpet of Red Cardinals...my Mama's favorite bird. I was in Awe. I cried, then I cried and smiled. God Sent those Cardinals to me that morning when I was grieving to Comfort me. To this day, I have Never again seen anything even close to what happened that morning. God has my Mama...what a Blessing. He Cares for whatever we are going through. If it hurts us, it hurts Him. He Is The Comforter. God Bless you, Austin, and Woody.

When I had my twins, they were my first also, but they came 7 weeks early. My labor was 12 hours start to finish, but had to be induced after about 3 hours. My greatest memory was that I could hear someone singing and I asked my husband who was singing. He said there's a lady sitting in the corner in a rocking chair. The doctors and nurses said, there's no one there! However, he saw her and I heard her. We know now it was an Angel. Three days before I went to the hospital, i went to church with my sister, and a lady from my sister's church came up to me and asked if she could pray with me and over my babies. We never told her I was having twins! She prayed and then gave me a word from the Lord and said, "Daughter, do mot fear, I am with you! For I will send YOUR Angel to be with you to give you peace and comfort and to sing over you and over your baby boys!" I never told her I was having boys either! She sang Jesus Loves Me, and Amazing Grace. Everytime my son's heard those songs, after they were born, they melted and would cry. Someone gave me a music box that played Jesus Loves Me, for my Baby shower, I would play it and their bottom lip would pooch out and crocodile tears just welled up in their eyes. The Lord told me that was the song they heard right before they were put into my womb, because they have a calling on them. Even to this day they cry when they hear those songs. So glad for you and Austin. Corie, I think every Mom can tell you stories of their children's births, regardless if it was 2 weeks ago or 30 years ago. In my case it was 30 years ago! 😊

Giving birth is the hardest thing you'll ever go through but so worth it. Our babies are a gift from GOD. Enjoy him.

Oh my gosh, that little baby grunt he’s making at the end.. I remember that sound so well. My youngest baby is 32 now. You never forget the sounds and smells of your babies.

Nothing is more beautiful than a Mother and her Baby.

You are a wonderful Momma to Woody. This is the most precious time of your lives.

Having a baby can be a scream.. So glad God was there with you. Woody is a little doll .

My Mamaw gave birth to 12 babies. She lived in Kentucky in the Appalachias. All were home births with Granny doctors except the last one which was delivered in the doctors office. All of them lived to be elderly and had good lives. I don't see how she was able to do that. She was a beautiful religious woman and I loved her soo much. ❤🙏

I had 2 homebirths with a midwife. It was certainly not pain free, but I did find it comforting to be in my own home and bed. My midwife told me of a woman who she had helped birth her 6 children. She called the midwife to come. When she got there, they sat on her porch, drank lemonade, and talked. After about an hour, the woman said, “ok, I’m ready to push.” They went inside, the woman was fully dilated, and pushed the baby out without a sound! Amazing!! Yours is a lovely birth story. ♥️

Absolutely beautiful. My oldest son came 6 weeks early . I was in a car wreck flipping my car end over end. He was born on Christmas Eve morning by C-section. They knicked an artery and I didn't learn how dangerous a predicament I was in until later . My sister ( a labor and delivery nurse was in on the delivery as my support) . They ended up putting her to work as she told me she was worried about the amount of blood lost. All I could think of was the thought of christmas and Jesus birth and how miraculous that was and how he saved me and my son at this time and how miraculous that was too. Many many many years later and This child is now living with me helping to take care of me in my old age. God knows how it will all play out. We give Him the glory always in the good and the bad for his timing and plan is always perfect. Thank you for sharing. .... And for Katy.... I was going through a divorce at this time. Husband decided he did not want kids...I had moved back home started my life over .......I was a single mom too . God gives grace immeasurable!!! Proud of you both !!!

Corie, my first grandson was sunny side up. My daughter like you labored hours on end, he was 6 lbs 6 oz. He absolutely was my heart. When she got pregnant again on birth control she cried and did not want to go through childbirth again . My second grandson was 9 lbs/ 15 oz, she pushed twice and there he was. I didn’t think I could love another the same as my first grandson, but God just increases the size of my heart and they have been our lives for 31 years. Every child birth is different, God is always with you. Sending love and prayers.❤️🙏

Back in 1958 I came in early Oct instead of mid Dec and my parents were almost 40 my daddy slept with his arm through the crib rails to feel me breathing so I think every parent has worries they have to give to God love ❤️

There is no pain even comparable to having a baby, you are so brave and so blessed with your son and Austin

oh little Woody is precious. thank you for sharing your story.

Birth is hard ,God is in control .You look beautiful and I know stitches are scary ,but trusting God knowing He has given you a great doctor is a blessing. Woody is so sweet and handsome. God bless you all and your family. Because He Lives

Such a blessing to have a precious baby. You have a very beautiful maternal instinct and will be the best momma for little Woody.

Thanks for sharing your birth story. I think all mothers are interested as each is unique. My daughter was “sunny side up” too, born with her eyes open and the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck three times. I’m so glad you weren’t induced. I was. Being induced makes the contractions strong and hard from the get go, no slow buildup. After 21 hours of hard labor and 3 hours of pushing, our sweet baby girl was born healthy and happy. May God bless little Woody throughout his life. God is so good!

Enjoy every moment as a family. They grow up so fast and you will never have the one on one time you get with the first born. Prayers for rest. 🌸🙏

I think it was a blessing to have Katie with you during the process, as the fact that she had not only given birth a few months earlier, but also shares that twin bond with you, meant she knew what you were going through better than anybody else in the world could have.

Corie, as a retired L&D RN I can’t tell you how proud I am of how you coped with the pain of labor. God is good and you knew it would be all right, and it was. Faith moves mountains and little boys who get stuck in OP position!! Hallelujah !
