I want my man to have his hands on me at all times and to hold me in his arms and to tell me that I’m in control and that I got this and to relax my face and shoulders and to ride each wave and feel each surge as I breathe our baby down. I want my man to tell me to swim out and greet each wave as I ride each wave and relax my body. I want my man to tell me to allow the force and strength of each wave to bring me closer to our baby. I want my man to tell me to move through each wave and just concentrate, sway, breathe, and let each wave wash over me and to just simply let each wave go through me. I want my man to tell me that each wave I ride, to focuse on my breathing and to let each wave do what they do best, come and go as I surrendered to their power. I want my man to tell me to not focuse on the pressure of each wave, but to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Both arms wrapped around me and both hands rubbing/caressing the whole entire lower part of my belly as she encourages me through each and every single one of my surges.

Birth, in all of its raw, ecstatic, primal glory is the most natural thing in the world to behold.
It is beautiful.
It is powerful.
It is home.
Yes there is always some risk inherent in birth - because birth is life, and because in birth we walk between two worlds - those of flesh and those of spirit.
Yes birth often brings with it powerfully intense sensations - but when we are able to move, to sway, to breathe, to feel supported and loved, often this intensity is manageable and can be a precious opportunity to touch the golden core of our true power.
The truth is that an undisturbed, physiologic birth is a normal bodily process. It is not an an emergency just waiting to happen - and more then that, listening to and trusting birthing women and their intuition is primary risk management.
Look into the eyes of a child witnessing a gentle, peaceful, ecstatic home birth and take note of what you see.
Awe. Wonder. Amazement. Fascination. Joy.
This is the truth of the essence of undisturbed birth reflected in their eyes.
Birth was never meant to be hidden away from us, from our children, from our families. It is not normal that for many women the first birth they ever witness is their own.
(Common yes - but not normal).
Ecstatic, powerful, passionate, transcendental, joyous, blissful, triumphant birth - is our birthright.
Birth is part of the collective culture of women. We are reclaiming what is ours. And giving that gift back to our families for the health + well-being of the future generations.

You know I was originally planning on freebirthing, not because of the cost associated with homebirth or because I was reckless but because I fully trust my body and didn’t feel like I could put enough trust into someone else to listen to what I actually wanted or that I could find someone who believed in me and my capability.
A traumatic birth in a hospital with staff who disregard your concerns or wishes, do things without your consent, create latrogenic emergencies and bully you into doing things you don’t want to do. It’s why most people Freebirth that and they want the most primal experience possible.
However by absolute fate I was sent the most amazing mother centred and hands off midwife possible. The exact person I had hoped for all along but never thought I could find Someone who normally books out quite easily just happened to have a spot at nearly 22 weeks pregnant. I will admit I was still scared to trust her at first due to past experiences but she quickly showed how much she believed in me and my capabilities. For the first time in any of my pregnancies I had someone who listened to what i wanted during my pregnancies/ birth, took a single No as an answer and held space for the past experiences. I never thought I’d be excited to have a midwife appointment each week just so we could sit on the couch and talk about anything I needed, it’s not just someone who looks after you, you create a friend and someone that I cannot wait to walk by again.
I’m so happy I got the dream birth I had wanted, couldn’t ask for a better birth

Melina was 19 when she got impregnated by her ex-boyfriend, but he left her, once she told him. She lives alone with her dad in an apartment outside the town and she really liked it there.
She had black hair, in a bob cut and blue eyes. Her DD-Cup breasts were sitting perfectly inside her bras and her 8 days overdue pregnant belly made all her clothes look too tight. Ignoring the fact, she had slim hips; she wanted to have an all-natural birth at home.
It all started one month ago, when her Dad lost his driving license and asked her to drive him to work, even now, while she was overdue.
It was on a Thursday at the end of September, when Melina felt some cramps running through her body. She was now 9 days overdue and she really managed to ignore them until the early evening. She was sitting in her room, breathing through them. They were coming every 12 minutes, lasting 30 seconds.
Melina walked around in her room, rubbing her huge belly and breathed with each new pain. Eventually she walked to the kitchen to grab some snacks and some water. Her Dad was in his office, preparing things for the other day.
Around 9 PM Melina was breathing through another pain as her Dad knocked and entered the room, only to find her in pain.
“Dad, I’m in labor!”, she said, as the contraction ended.
He moved her to the bed, pulled down her pants and pushed fingers inside her, without any warnings.
“You’re only at 3 cm, you will have enough time!”
He run his fingers over Melina’s sensitive clitoris and patted her huge belly.
“Now go to bed, we have to leave at 7 AM and tomorrow will be a long day. Good night!”
Without another word, he left the room and went to bed. Tomorrow was Friday and on Friday he usually had tons of meetings. Melina pulled her pants up again and really tried to sleep, which was pretty hard, with contractions hitting every 12 minutes, but somehow she really fell asleep.
Melina woke up around 5 AM with stronger contractions, lasting 45 seconds now and was followed by another one 7 minutes later. She got up, dressed herself in a green knee-long pullover, heavily stretched over the huge belly and some leggings underneath it. While making breakfast she needed to stop every 7 minutes to breath. Once her Dad arrived around 6:15 AM, he found her breathing and holding the belly while supporting on the table.
“So, how’s it going?”
Melina looked at him and answered as the pain faded away.
“Around 7 minutes apart…”
“Good!”
He sat down and ate breakfast, Melina tried to do the same. She felt some pressure building up, knowing it was the baby ramming against the cervix. While Melina cleared the table, she felt a little change in her belly and leaned against the counter to breathe. As soon as the contraction ended, she felt fluids running down her legs and looked at her father, who was a little bit shocked as well. With the next contraction, only 5 minutes away, she groaned at the sudden intensity.
“This one was much stronger than before!”
Her dad was already in his room to grab his stuff and came back, ready to leave. Without warning, he lifted her to the kitchen counter, pulled her leggings and panties down, only to push finger inside her again.
“Hmm, you’re dilating as slow as your mother did, you’re at 6 cm. How long since your labor started?”
Melina thought for a second before answering.
“18 hours… I think…”
He pulled Melina down and she pulled her pants back up as another sharp contraction struck her. They were sharper now after the water broke. Once it was over, he grabbed something like a leather belt and fixed it around her hips and even one part went down between her legs. The clock showed 6:55 AM.
“Come on, let’s go!”
Melina finally noticed what her dad fixed around her hips and looked at him in shock.
“Dad, wait! You can’t fix a chastity belt around my hips! Take it off, please!”
“NO! I have a few important meetings going on today and I can’t have you delivering this baby now. Keep it inside until everything is done!”
After the next contraction, she really followed her dad to the elevator and waited until it arrived. Once they were inside, it descended for 8 floors including 2 for the basement and the garage.
Melina growled as she opened the door and sat behind the steer wheel. Breathing for another minute, she started the car and drove out of the garage.
Each time a contraction hit, Melina grabbed the steering wheel as hard as she could and breathed.
45 Minutes later they arrived at her Dad’s workplace and after another pain she got out of the car, following him inside. Inside the elevator Melina leaned against the wall to deal with another contraction.
Before he entered the conference room he ordered her to sit down on one of the chairs and don’t walk around. Melina obeyed and sat down, feeling the leather chastity belt pushing against her crotch.
Melina was now in labor since 19 hours and in active labor since 1:30 hours.
Time passed, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours. Melina tried her best to stay quiet and paced around in front of the conference room to deal with the pain and the growing pressure. They got closer again and were now around 3 minutes apart.
“Ah, here you are! We’re done here, let’s go!”
Melina looked up as she heard a voice behind her and before she even could say a word; her Dad dragged her to the elevators.
“The next one is in 30 minutes at Nendo Company; it should be a short one!”
He explained as she breathed through another pain, while getting to their car. Once sitting in the car, Melina grabbed the steering wheel hard each time and drove to Nendo Company. After driving into the carpark and finding a parking spot, Dad left the car and gave her orders again.
“You stay here, it shouldn’t take long!”
She nod and he left after closing the car door.
Melina leaned back, rubbing her huge contracting belly until another contraction hit her, harder, longer and stronger than before. She grabbed the steering wheel until her knuckles went white and breathed. 30 Seconds after it ended, the next one started right away. Transition, Melina thought. She tried moving her hips on the seat and began panting. The baby inside her pushed hard against the cervix, but she tried to blow the pain away without much success. Everything inside her was pressing down and she groaned as she felt her birth canal got stretched painfully. The contractions were overlapping from time to time but mostly they were 90 seconds long with a little 30 seconds break.
It was exactly 2 PM when her Dad opened the door and got into the car, only to find her panting.
“What’s wrong?”
“The baby’s coming… have to push!”
“Good, that’s perfect! So let’s drive home, so you can deliver your baby!”
He patted her belly and rubbed over it, knowing the baby would be a big one.
“Ah, but first, you should drive to Ronaldo. We don’t have Champagne to celebrate the arrival of my grandchild!”
Melina growled before she really started the car, drove out of the car park and took the road to Ronaldo. She was now in labor since 25 hours.
“OOOOOWWWWW…”
The pressure inside Melina grew and her body almost ordered her to push as the baby slowly moved down against her will.
2:20 PM, Melina stopped in front of Ronaldo and Dad disappeared inside of the shop. Every cell in her body wanted to spread her legs and push, but she couldn’t. Even as she resisted the urge, she felt the baby moving down in her birth canal slightly, making her vagina slowly bulging out.
Melina tried again to move her hips in circles while the pressure grew close to unbearable. She leaned back, grabbed the steering wheel really hard and pushed, making the bulge of her vagina even bigger and bigger. The pressure was immense and her belly was rock hard. She could feel her leggings tightening a bit around her hips as the bulge in her crotch slowly grew.
Completely forgetting about the Chastity belt, Melina continued pushing as the time passed once again.
Around 4 PM the door was teared open and her Dad got into the car.
“We can drive home, I have everything we need. So how’s the progress Darling?”
Melina knew he was drunk. He probably met the Boss of Ronaldo and instead of buying they started chatting and testing different champagnes and wines. She knew, if she wouldn’t answer or do as he says, she had to endure this longer.
“It’s… crowning…”
It took a while before Melina was mentally ready to drive a car again, so that she didn’t notice her Dad getting impatient. He reached over to her and grabbed her left breast, pulling her over to him and talked straight into her face. She moaned involuntary and her blue eyes shot open.
“If we aren’t at home before 5:30 PM so I can watch my favorite series, you will wear the belt the whole night!”
Melina’s eyes went wide before another painful contraction hit her. Once she caught her breath, she started the car again and drove home. Luckily the streets were free and she could drive without much stopping. During each new pain, she grabbed the steering wheel hard until her knuckles went wide, held her breath and tried to ignore the unbearable urge to push.
Thanks to some problems with some red lights, they arrived at home around 5:45 PM but it wasn’t her fault. While Melina breathed through another contraction, trying not really to push again, her Dad got out of the car, opened her door and pulled her out of the car. Her knees almost gave out as the sudden down pressure drastically intensified. She sobbed as she felt the baby moving downwards even without a contraction and without pushing. She could feel the baby’s head slowly sliding down, stretching and opening her with every step she was forced to take. The big head was still slowly crowning and the pressure continued to grow. It really took some effort for Melina to walk inside and get inside the elevator. Another contraction, another push, another painful groan.
It was 6 PM, when her Dad opened the door, tossed his things to the floor and run to the television. Melina was leaning against the front door to breath, as she heard her Dad calling for her.
“Melina! Get my things in my room and get over here!”
Melina answered with a short “Yes!” grabbed the things and slowly waddled to the bedroom where she placed everything on the bed and the desk. The large baby moved down more and more, opening her lips more, allowing to do more crowning but the belt held it in place. After some more pushing, Melina figured it was useless to continue pushing. The head was hold back by the belt now.
With small steps she waddled into the living, close to her Dad.
“What… do you want me to do… to get the belt off?”
He looked at her and smirked.
“Take off your pullover and get over here!”
She nods, taking off her pullover and walked closer to her Dad, only to be turned around and get pulled onto his lap. Melina didn’t fight back, but groaned loud with another push, while the head moved forward again.
“Ngggghhhh…”
He ignored her struggle and grabbed her breasts, only to squeeze and knead them. She moaned, throwing her head back and spread her legs intuitively to get the baby out. Eventually she moaned louder, started panting from the touch of her father, while he fondled her breasts roughly, rolled her nipples between his fingers and made some milk spray around. It really took a while until Melina was heard screaming and was cumin hard, while her body forced the baby down more, spreading her even wider, even if there was no way out. He let go of her and she sank down onto the floor, fighting the most powerful contraction she had until now. He unzipped his pants and smirked.
“Now, turn around and suck it!”
She turned around again, heavily panting and nodded, before she touched his fat member and started teasing him. After several minutes of hard sucking, touching and teasing he came inside her mouth, moaning loud. She hunched over in a kneeling position and pushed with the unbearable pressure, feeling the baby trying to crown more and more, screaming with the pain.
“AAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!! Take it off, pleeeeeaaase!!”
He patted her big round belly and smiled.
“Well, since you were a good girl today, I think I can take it off. Let me get the key!”
The clock showed 7 PM and Melina was now in labor since 30 hours.
Once he came back, he heaved her onto the couch and opened the lock of the belt, taking it off slowly followed by her leggings and the panties. The bulge between Melina’s legs was enormous and the head seemed to be close to a full crown.
“Now, be a good daughter and deliver for Daddy!”
Melina nodded, grabbed her legs and finally pushed.
“Hnnnnnngggggghhhaaaarrrrgggghhh!!”
Her lips spread apart even more, to a size most doctors would consider impossible for such a small girl.
“Oooooooowwwwwww! It burns, it burns, it burns!”
The extreme stretching was already painful enough, but now there was this unbearable burning feeling, that started to drive her insane. She would love to squat but she knew her Dad wouldn’t allow it, so she pushed hard again, while lying on her back. After the last push, she noticed the baby moving down steadily and decided to give small brief grunts.
“Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo… Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh!”
Another agonizing push, a loud scream and the head was out. Melina fell back and lay there panting for a few minutes.
“The head is out; now breathe until it has turned around.”
Melina needed to breathe for almost 15 minutes until she could finally push again. She tucked her chin in and bore down with all she had.
“Hnnnnnnngggggggg!! Come on… baby… hnnnngggghhh!”
The shoulder opened her wide again and after some more pushing; she felt the first shoulder beginning to emerge. Another contraction, another push and the shoulder moved out more, while the second one followed soon. Both shoulders were now sitting inside her vagina and the burning returned worse than before.
“Come on baby, almost there! Hnnnnggggghhhhhh! Gaaaaaaaaaaarrrgghhhh!”
She screamed loud as both shoulders moved together through her vagina.
“Hnnnnnggggaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!”
After another agonizing push, the baby was born and landed between her and her Dad, followed by another gush of fluids. She fell back and panted from exhaustion.
Her Dad picked the little girl up, checked her for a moment before cutting the cord. The little girl was born at 9 PM after 32 hours of painful labor and was around 10 pounds big.
Melina birthed the afterbirth 30 minutes later, took her daughter and started feeding her.
Baby number two is getting so big! Mama and daddy can’t wait to meet you!
Feeling so pushy tonight, wishing I was pregnant again!
Baby Sister was birthed into this world a week before Christmas, so happy her birth went as perfect as it could have, mama and baby (and older sister and daddy) are all doing great!
This my friends is a *very* dropped baby, labor should be kicking off any day now!
Time to birth her honey PUSH! She’s fully crowned!
Really great birth starting at 1:02:00
