Thank you so much for this video!! Currently 32 weeks, and need videos like this. This kind of positive reflection around birth and labour needs to be spoken about a lot more in our society.

I think it's so lovely that you were told not to push - I was researching births throughout history a couple weeks ago, and it wasn't actually until doctors took over from midwives, that women were told to push/lie down/get heavily sedated during birth! The female body is so amazing and capable of taking care of birth all on its own :) (by which I don't at all mean that there should be no assistance during births because it's different from person to person, but I do feel that it'd be good to look at birthing as a gentle transition instead of the rip that it's made out to be! And I actually got a bit teary eyed when you mentioned what a lovely experience it was, I'm so so so happy for you Hannah!

I’m due in 3 weeks this was so comforting to watch ❤️

I tap into the blessing of a positive birth experience and I'll be back to share my POSITIVE story soon.

I’m not even pregnant and I want this experience!! How amazing is a woman’s body! Never know about the pushing thing. Much love to you Hannah x

As a woman in her early 20’s with no kids yet, videos like this are so comforting because they alleviate all of the fears that come with wanting to eventually have kids. Congrats to you and your family on the new addition ❤️

A gentle birth?! This is more of what I wanna hear!!

I love that you are spreading this positive message about birth Hannah. Rufus is absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations x

I often watch these videos, and squirm throughout while they totally confirm why I don’t want kids. This was actually really sweet, and I’m so happy you finally got your happy ending, Hannah.

You seem so chill, calm and relaxed and that makes me so happy! I could have listen to this for ages x

This was so lovely! Congrats again to you, Stef, Grayson and baby Rufus; such a beautiful family xx

This is all incredible! Thank you for sharing! It’s amazing especially to hear about letting your body do the pushing.

I love how happy and content you are!! So happy you got what you wanted so much ❤

I am due in 4 weeks and this was EVERYTHING I needed to hear as I head into my labor - thank you for sharing! < 3

its so good to hear that you've had a positive experience :) i feel no one ever talks about a positive birth. i'm glad you & Rufus are happy and healthy 🙏🏻

This is so encouraging. I’m due next month and I need to hear as many natural positive birthing stories as possible.

So nice to hear about your amazing birth experience, and so lovely to see how happy you are, very much deserved lovely Hannah xx

What a great story. I think everyone needs to share this with anyone they know is worried about labor and delivery.

So lovely to hear a labour story which isn't terrifying! glad to know you had a positive experience xx

I am so happy for you Hannah! You're right, we need more positive birth stories. Thank you for sharing yours.

This was so lovely to watch, you could really tell just how much of a positive experience it was for you! Incredible about the not pushing thing, bodies are wonderful things!

What a beautiful story you’ll treasure forever Hannah, I got quite emotional watching this, in a good way! Welcome to the world little Rufus enjoy every moment x

Such a lovely positive video. So nice to hear the good parts of labour, rather than the more horrible bits! Thank you x

Hannah my heart is so full for you, makes me so tearful when you explain how happy you are to finally have your bundle of joy.. rufus is absolutely gorgeous and im so happy for you and Stef ♥️ sending you all the love in the world xxxxx

It's so lovely to see you look so happy, you waited so long for your family and it's so nice to see it finally come together💕Rufus is beautiful, congratulations😍

Thank you so much! This is beautiful! I'm 34 weeks with my first and practicing Hypnobirthing, and I so appreciate such an amazing, positive story.

Placenta encapsulation is the way to go! I had my son a week before you and they helped so much! Congrats, he’s so sweet!

This is so beautiful. You are absolutely glowing as you speak about the night you met little Rufus. Congratulations to your sweet family. xx

Lovely video, you have such an aura of bliss around you Hannah. It's so lovely to see, and I'm so glad to see it for the sake of other young mums who may be scared by the KZfaq horror stories. You're an inspiration and a great role model.💕

the baby breathing sounds mixed in with your voice are very calming x

I am so so so so so happy for you, Hannah. I've been here since before Grayson's birth, and my heart hurt for you so very much during that time. It is wonderful to see you feeling so contented and confident. You did the damn thing and you did it WELL! Great job, mama. You're amazing.

Really emotional watching this. You're such a positive birthing beacon! Thank you for sharing this! I'm so happy for you that you got such a wonderful birth! And well done!

What a lovely birth story! I'm due in 10 days and you've made me feel so much more relaxed about my home birth. Thank you for sharing your story with us! And congrats on the birth of your baby boy!❤

I'm not even pregnant but this was such a lovely video to watch. Shoutout to you for spreading such a postive message about birth! Rufus is gorgeous, congratulations!

This was fab! So nice to hear such a positive birth story and I am 100% looking into hypno birthing and placenta capsules after my horrific first Labour! Thanks Hannah xx

this is so encouraging! i am currently 11 weeks pregnant and hearing birth stories like this is so helpful. you seem like you are in such a good, calm headspace. i'm very happy for you!

Congrats on your new baby! I’m 5 months pregnant and it’s nice to hear such a positive birth story. You really make me want to look into hypnobirthing x

Being nearly 31 weeks pregnant, it is so nice to hear that your labour and delivery was exactly as you hoped and a positive experience xx

Such a lovely positive, calm video, Im currently 34 weeks pregnant and starting to get nervous about labour, this has really reassured me.

I did a homebirth for my last baby and it was the most amazing experience. My midwives were the sweetest people and I even laughed at one point while giving birth. We did straight skin to skin...all of the hippy things you can think of, we did it.

Ive never heard of the no pushing thing, but it makes total sense! You put me back on to the idea of having kids with this, thank you. I will definitely be looking into hypnobirth. Roo is just the sweetest. Congratulations Hannah! ❤

I never usually comment on your videos despite loving watching how you, Stef and your family view the world, but I felt really moved to with this video. You seem so happy, glowing, peaceful and content. That it is just so so lovely to see when I’ve been watching your journey all this time. Thank you so much for sharing.

Crying 😭 this is such a beautiful story, so happy for you all xx

Such an amazing story, so happy for you Hannah! Well done!!

I’m so happy for you! I am currently 38 weeks pregnant so I love positive birth stories!! 💕💕

Beautiful story. So lovely to hear this happens. After having a planned csection due to a breech baby and feeling like I haven't experienced birth, I can't imagine how wonderful this was. Congratulations!

Hi Hannah! Thank you so much for sharing your experience, it truly showed how giving birth is a magical experience. As someone who gets panicky really easily this video means the world since I always thought birth was this monster experience you had to suffer through. It made me tear up not going to lie and it made me want to have children even more! Thank you for being so lovely! I’m sending huge love to all of the family! xx

felt so unbelievably proud whilst watching this, hanna you're incredible! im 17 and not planning on giving birth anytime soon (haha) but the empowerment from hearing you own your body and enjoy it in such an amazing way is incredible! sending all my love to you and rufus and the gang x

You don’t sound crazy! Giving birth is an amazing experience especially when it’s positive. Thank you for saying about not pushing. Just what I needed to hear and was trying to find out about.

Who would dislike this video!? Great to hear your story Hannah, thanks for sharing

I remember watching grayson’s birth video and then this one when you first posted them. Now rewatching as I’m 24 weeks with my first baby, planning a home birth and so looking forward to meeting her. ❤️

Hi Hannah! Thank you for a lovely video🌻 As a 20 year old woman who has always wanted a family, giving birth has always been so scary to me, but after hearing your story it sounds a little magical. Thanks for all your videos and family vlogs. All the best to you and your lovely family🌸

Thank you for sharing your beautiful birth experience!!! We need more positive birth stories to be shared :-) I'm 40 weeks pregnant, having a home birth. I was feeling so emotional just now, and feeling stressed about getting towards 42 weeks and having pressure put on me to be induced. Loved watching this, totally calmed me down, smiling from ear to ear. Rufus is absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations! Well done xxxxx

You and Rufus are both IMPOSSIBLY precious. 😍 Xoxo, Caylie

Thankyou for sharing Hannah, I'm 6 months pregnant with first baby and it's so nice to hear positive birth stories ❤️

As someone who hasn’t had a baby *yet* this was SO lovely to hear. Thank you so much for sharing and I’m so happy you had a wonderful birth experience.

This was totally my experience with my first just about a year ago. Everyone thought I was crazy for having a home birth and a water birth but just because something is different doesn't make it wrong. In fact, it went just as we wanted like you were saying. We were so blessed and I would do it again! You've convinced me to encapsulate my placenta next time around. Thank you for putting a positive birth story out for all to see and be encouraged by. Our bodies are incredible!

This is SUCH a helpful story. Thank you so much for sharing! 🙏 you mentioned things I never heard of and am definitely interested in doing for my birth as well

I love this video so much! Feels like just what I needed to hear at 38 weeks!

What a positive and beautiful vlog Hannah. My 2nd baby is due in 6 weeks and this is what I needed to hear 💙 You are an inspiration and little rufus is so beautiful!! Well done 😘 Xxx

I can see that you are so much more mellow and living in the moment with your babies .... You are glowing and you look so well xox

Sounds like a wonderful experience Hannah, so glad it went well for you!

I am 22 and this is everything to me, I always knew I wanted children but birth... even the stories about my own birth scared me so so much! Everything you see about birth anywhere just seems so unnatural, like out of a sci fi movie. But this Hannah, makes me so calm and I just know that I can do this in the future. You are glowing and you are a goddess!

Thank you so much for making this video! I'm 29 weeks pregnant and i have my first appointment with my hypnobirthing instructor next week, I am also hoping for a water birth. Everyone always tells me about how horrific labour is and its hard to find to somone who has a positive birthing story! Rufus is beautiful! 😍

Thank you for this video! I am pregnant with my fourth and am just immersing myself in positive birth stories. I felt the same way about my last two deliveries. They were amazing. I loved them, the whole experience was just awesome.

Thank you so much for posting this! I am currently pregnant with my first baby and have been looking into Hypno birthing since I found out I was expecting and it's the route I'm sure I want to go down. Thank you for sharing your positive experience... it's making me really look forward to birth!! Congratulations on the arrival of baby Roo xx

I've never been pregnant myself but this was so positive to hear and I will definitely follow your tips if I ever get pregnant!! Well done Hannah, you are such a wonderful mummy

So happy to come across your video. 7 months now and after a difficult birth with my eldest, I'm practicing hypnobirthing techniques ready for number 2. Videos like yours give me faith that things will be better the second time around. Congratulations on your beautiful family x

Im 25 weeks pregnant and really want to do a home birth - this video made me cry and makes me even more confident of my decision ! You are lovely mum - thanks for spreading the positive word!

Firstly can I say a huge congratulations!! And Thank you sooooo much for sharing your experience!! I’m 37 weeks and have really scared myself by watching programs like ‘One Born every minute’ None seemed positive and just looked downright agony. Have been feeling overwhelmed and unsure if I will be able to do this. I now feel like it will all be okay and to remember to stay calm. I can’t wait to meet our little girl 😍

That's absolutely amazing! Good for you for making this video . It's so important for people to know all the different experiences women can have giving birth. I'm doing IVF in January and really hoping this is our time. We've been trying for two years. This video made me so happy for you Hannah! You are a goddess for certain! 😊

You are giving off such radiance! Contagious happiness. So glad for your little family.

Thank you so much for sharing your positive birth story. I'm expecting my first in a few weeks and have been practicing hypnobirth as well. It's so helpful hearing that all the preparation made such a difference.

I admire you so much Hannah, you are amazing! Congratulations on little Rufus and I send you and your family all the love, you deserve the best. xx

Sounds like you're doing a great job taking care of your own well-being. I hope the last three weeks went as magically as the first two weeks when you had just filmed this 🤗

Wow what a brilliant start for little Rufus! Really made me consider hypno for the future, the no pushing sounds amazing, I know what you mean about the waters breaking , mine broke in hospital, I had to be induced, but it was making seeing the shape of baby basically x

I love how happy you are! So glad it all went the way you wanted 😊

I'm 31 weeks pregnant and have been learning about hypnobirthing. All I want from my first birthing experience is for it to be calm. If I could just have a slice of your experience I would be over the moon! Congratulations Hannah, you look amazing! Xx

He is so georgeous and I’m so glad your birth was positive and you’ve shared that xxx

Thank you for sharing your story! I'm pregnant with my first so it's very nice to see a positive story after stumbling across some horrific ones.

I honestly love this and the idea of having a positive labour and birth experience. I still feel pretty rubbish about my first labour as it's just all such a blur. I will definitely be looking into hypnobirthing! Thank you x

I loved hearing your experience, I’ve heard soo many horror stories.You have really helped ease my fears!!! ❤️❤️

Thank you for being so honest about your experience and the reality of giving birth. As someone in the TTC stage its nice to here a positive but real account of giving birth. I also feel in a lot of situations birth is made an unnecessarily stressful moment when it can be a natural and relaxed process

so much positivity in one video & it just made my day!!! what a great way for me to end my week. Cant wait to see two little Michalaks grow up! :) thanks for sharing your experience. I would love to have a home birth in the future.

I’m so happy for you💗 I’m so glad that you had such a lovely experience, I feel like it’s going to calm a lot of pregnant women out there. Literally sounds like a dream❤️ sending lots of hugs to you and baby Rufus💙🤗

Well done. You had the right people around you. That is definitely the key. Unfortunately my full labour was the opposite. Sigh. I’m glad you can tell people this story and point them in a positive direction. Xx

You look so happy! My baby will be 4 months old next monday, and I still cry some happy tears every other day 😍 Congratulations and enjoy little Rufus!

So glad you had this amazing, positive experience. Thankyou for sharing! I am 33 weeks pregnant. Planning home birth and the more and more I hear about the unnecessary pushing and ejection mechanism the more I trust my body

Hello Hannah, I just wanted to thank you for this video, it is such a relief to see that there is nothing to worry about when coming to labor. Also I wanted to thank you because after seeing your previous Positive birthing video with birth itself, I did some research and booked me and my husband a hypnobirthing course a month ago. I must say it really opened my eyes (and my husband's too) and it was the best spending of money ever! Even though in Czech republic we cannot have a homebirth (at least not legally) I have chosen hospital which is a little bit far away than I anticipated but has almost the best references when coming to "alternative" birthing and natural birth. I am now 21 weeks pregnant with our first baby (about to find the sex tomorrow but I am sure it is a girl :)) and can't wait to deliver this little one. So once again Hannah - it has really changed my view on the whole birthing process and I can't thank you enough for letting these experiences out to public. All the best to you and your family

YOU ARE INCREDIBLE. I am really trying to convince myself to have a natural birth with no medication. My husband and I will be working for a baby this coming January. I fear pain, been through enough of it but I want to release that fear. Thank you for posting this video. I feel more confident. I will be looking into a hypnobirthing teacher. Love to you and your babies!!

Such a lovely story and amazing you got to have this positive experience. I had the same pushing thing with my second baby, my body literally just did it for me and it was amazing x

I love Hannah. She just seems like such a beautiful person. ❤️

Thank you for this lovely video it has really been refreshing watching this and made me more confident about my first HB led labour to come! X

I am normally terrified of labour that is one of the main reasons why I am postponing the decision of properly starting the family but every time I watch it I calm down, your happiness when you see Rufus first time makes me teary and I am getting more ready to have our baby. Thank you for that.

I'm so glad that you had a positive experience. I also loved giving birth, its amazing. This made me well up a bit.

Thank you! More people need to share positive birth experiences. Glad yours was lovely!

Thank you SO MUCH for this! Loved hearing the story and really needed a positive input. So much negativity with birth stories.

You don't sound crazy at all. Thank you for sharing this 🙏🏽✨. I'm a couple of weeks away from my due date (ftm) and deeply appreciate positive birth stories. I grew up hearing only positive things from my mother and grandmother so it was a bit of a shock to hear all the traumatic stories.

Thank you for your positivity & sharing your wonderful experience with mums to be like myself. It is very much appreciated. I’m also planning a home water hypnobirth & hoping ours goes as smoothly as yours has. Lots of love xox

I loved my birth! I had a water birth in hospital, I was thinking of a home birth but decided when it came to it I went into a birthing unit, I was really lucky that they were short staffed so I ended up with a home birth midwife, so she let me “get on with it” and said my body would let me know when I needed to push etc. I was so relaxed I didn’t have any pain relief, which I am shocked at as I can be quite a wuss. If we have more I think I will have a home birth, it also means my partner can be with me rather than taking care of our son. I’m glad your birth was exactly how you wanted it, you all seem super chilled and content x
