Our Birth Story: Physiological Hospital Water Birth (19 Hours of Labour, 3 Hours Pushing & a Dream Birth… Almost) ✨

After months of preparing for a calm, low-intervention physiological water birth, our baby girl’s arrival took us on the biggest rollercoaster of our lives. 🌊👶

💜 The journey:

19 hours of natural labour at the hospital

Incredible support from our midwife team

3 hours of pushing to finally meet our baby

An unexpected severe haemorrhage — but walking away empowered and proud

This is our full, raw, and honest positive birth story. While things didn’t go exactly to plan, I’m so grateful for the strength I found and the birth I dreamed of — almost.

If you’re preparing for your own labour, curious about water birth, or just love real stories of resilience and motherhood, I hope this video inspires and encourages you.
