Didn’t know where else to post this so I figured I’d post here as some might appreciate it.
Wife and I just got home yesterday from the hospital after giving birth to our first child, a healthy girl!
The hospital staff was very respectful for our wishes to deny vaccines, Vit K, antibiotic eye cream, etc. my wife wanted to give birth as natural as possible. Unfortunately my wife just wasn’t dilating enough,and the nurses, midwife, and doula spent soooo much time and effort trying different positions and stretches, rather than pushing for epidural + Pitocin.
Unfortunately we did need a c-section, as too much time had passed and infection was becoming a possibility, but I figured it would be worth sharing that not all health professionals are lost to “woke” culture!
Was a great breath of fresh air as we were expecting doctors to come in and give us “the talk”.
Congratulations fren!!
My wife insisted on having natural child birth at home with a midwife. It really made me respect her strength. If it was me, I would have chosen to go to the hospital that would knock me out the deepest. ;)
To any liberals that can't define what a woman is, just watch natural child birth and you'll understand both what they are and how awesome they are. Strong as steel and as gentle as a breeze.
What a wonderful tribute to your wife! So sweet!
May I use that in a song? Just perfect.
I'd be honored if you did fren.
Seeing what my wife went through in labor gave me a whole new respect and appreciation for women more than I ever had before. It’s such a wild experience and I definitely would not be strong enough to go through with it.
Amen brother. Make sure and tell her.
You were fortunate.
Candace Owens was not.

... yeah the hospital sent cops to my house the day after I went home to make sure I was ok. They couldn't understand why I wanted to leave the covid obsessed hospital and go be with my family. I must be abused.
How many days did you stay at the hospital to warrant a visit? Thats absurd
I stayed one night. They wanted me to stay two days after having the baby but that place was horrible.
Congratulations, and may God bless and protect this precious new life and her parents!! Being gifted to create life out of love is what it means to be “made in His image”! What you feel for your new daughter is how God feels about us. What a blessing!
Congratulations!
And thanks for adding reminders to the reasons for keeping faith in humanity! Always good to hear.
God is proud of you and your family, fren. Much love!
congratulations to you and your wife.... as we welcome a new little patriot :)....take care of that little one it is Gods gift
Congratulations!!! I love birth stories. :)
God bless your sweet family.
Congrats fren! When you have had time to rest maybe you can share any reconnaissance info you gathered from navigating the modern US "healthcare" system during the birth of your daughter.
Looking your first child in his or her eyes for the first time, and them seeing you, is like realizing the whole point of life and the earth and the universe. It's like finding out why God created everything; the truth is in a newborn's eyes.
The same feelings are there when the fifth child is born. Your love just gets bigger!
Beautifully expressed valley-lily! 💕
Congratulations to you both on little miracle! 👶Blessings be with your family! 🙏 our daughter is a doula.
Savour each precious moment!
Congrats on the birth of your daughter. I do not want to add any stress but how do you know they did not vaccinate your wife and or your baby, because if it was a C section chances are you were not there when this took place.
Most women are awake for a c-sectiion and husbands are in the operatng room. They would know if vaccinated.
She was awake the whole time, and I was in the room during the surgery. Was VERY quick, like done in 5 minutes if that
Congratulations on the baby. But as a woman who had 2 c-sections, I think the "we" that you used should be "my wife" had a c-section. C-sections hurt...a lot.
Lol I agree, but my wife totally has me trained to say “we” for everything. She didn’t like me saying “she” was pregnant, “she” had an appointment, etc, always wanted me to say “we”
Honest question: what's the deal with the Vitamin K and the eye cream?
Is it good, bad, indifferent?
I fully respect OP's choices. I just want to learn more.
Vit K isn't a really vitamin, it has metals just like any vaccine. That's why you avoid it. Women can eat extra kale during pregnancy to avoid a vit k deficiency. A common side effect is it causes jaundice in the baby.
The eye cream is completely useless. It causes blocked tear ducts, which are excruciating to deal with in an infant.
You also want to avoid the heel prick. They'll bully that one, believe me. They'll tell you your baby could die if they don't get tested for a super dangerous genetic disease. What they don't tell you is you would already know if it ran in your family, and what they really do is store the blood sample on file at the state level. They've done this for generations and have everyone's dna on file. They don't make it easy for you to make them destroy your file either if you are smart enough to find out about it.
Congrats on the healthy little one and a positive hospital experience!
Thank you!
Congratulations!
There is a lot of weird stuff going on out there but it's not as widespread as the media and social media would have us believe. Normal interactions with normal people leave me realizing that there is hope. People are not as messed up as we sometimes think.
Now, let me give you some unsolicited advice. Get a blue light bulb. When the baby wakes up in middle of the night only use the blue light and be as quiet as possible. No singing. No shushing. In the morning open the curtains/blinds and get in as much sunlight as possible. Put on some music. Talk loudly. Laugh.
After about two weeks doing this my daughter stopped napping during the days and actually slept through the night. She got the day/night rhythm down.
It's not guaranteed to work for everybody though. My boys took longer but they got there in the end.
Congrats fren! Blessings to your family 😊 My little guy is due to arrive any day now, wonderful to know so many little patriots are being born ❤️
Thank you for posting this as the hospital situation is what is holding me back from another baby as I need to have another c-section from previously being cut in a T. Thank you for sharing.
Just wait till your first pediatrician appointment. Many will not even let them in the door unvaxxed. Don't be surprised when they want 4 vaccines in a little.baby. good luck!
Our midwife recommended a pediatrician who is understanding of anyone who rejects the vaccines so we’ll see how it goes
I've heard doulas don't draw blood from the baby and they don't require you to register your child (give them to the state via birth certificate or colb).
Beast of a father. Congrats.
Pitosin is rough, especially if body not naturally dilating. pitosin, as I understand, induces contractions - a hellish experience if not dilated! I know from this happening with my ex during birth of our 3rd child . Glad to hear of the good experience and birth of your child friend. God Bless.
I had pitocin too, with my first, it was a horrible experience, the pain was unbearable especially the back pain. I couldn't push him out, he was too big so I ended up with a c-section.
Wow yeah I can see that happening. It was a possibility with ours too, but thankfully the docs in my kids' mom's case were able to "reverse" or counteract the pitocin by whatever means and let her keep dilating while calming the contractions. It was brutal to even watch, I can only imagine the actual pain. There was a graph of some kind that showed the strength and timing of contractions, and they just shot up after it kicked in. The pitocin is some powerful stuff - and unnatural. The body is supposed to gradually dilate and contractions gradually strengthen naturally, and when that doesn't happen very well, and a doctor who you at least partially trust, recommends pitocin, it's easy to go with it.... glad you made it through (:
None of that is ill will or woke. When she contracts it can squeeze the cord and they can see the deaccelerations of the babies heart. Sometimes they just need the baby out
Right yes I wouldn't have considered it ill will or especially not woke in any way. Just something that turned out not to work for our situation. I imagine pitosin has been helpful for some.... but only in cases where the dilation is able to progress as quickly as the contractions will..
Does a c-section leave a scar? I always wondered about that.
Yes. You're making a deep incision to get a baby out. Why would you even have to question that?
Some are much worse than others, of course. Mine is barely visible.
But do an online image search for c-section scars if you want to see some scary ones.
Congrats! We got dropped from medical provider after rejecting all vaccines for our daughter last year and ended up finding a new doctor that doesnt care about vaxx status. The doctor said in her 20+ years she has never seen a baby stand on their own so quick without pulling up. Keep making them if you can, im tapping after 4.
Congratulations! May God bless you and your family.
Are you doing the Vit K drops instead? What product/routine? Anyone have tips?
We aren’t giving any supplements, my wife ate a healthy diet during pregnancy
Congratulations on a healthy baby girl.
