Here it *finally is... my birth video and vlog.
It took me a while to film this birth video (and even more to edit : mom life) because I needed some time to process and be able to talk about it.
However, though it's not the positive birth I was hoping for, I feel that it's important for me to share because, quite frankly, I've been feeling quite lonely regarding this traumatic and not ideal experience. There are so many positive birth stories out there but so little about when things don't go smoothly or how you had pictured it.
Don't mistake my stoic face or lack of tears for me being okay about it or wanting to make a story out it. I've just told my birth story so many times... but to be honest, it's still not easy for me to think about it. I sometimes will look at my baby or think about something (skin to skin with him) that I didn't get and start crying. I sometimes even feel resentful towards positive birth experience stories, because trauma ...when actually I wouldn't wish my experience on anyone.
If you had a similar experience, I hope you are okay and wish you the best and send my love. Do contact me (comments here or DMs on Instagram at gabriellesnow) if you need or want to talk about it.
Here it is, my honest birth story and birth vlog with my first baby (contractions, labor and delivery, postpartum).
