I felt that moment where your whole body froze up and stopped contracting. Wow, Tori! Strong mama (and dad!) You did it! Thank you for sharing your story ❤❤

Let this be a lesson to all mommas not to “Chase labor”, the best thing you can do for yourself in early labor is pretend like it isn’t happening and REST. I 100% understand wanting baby out ASAP, but we can’t fight against our bodies, we have the sit back and let it do it’s thing. Soooo happy for you Tori that baby was a champ the entire time and you were still able to birth at home, regardless of the incredibly intense and long labor 💙

Well once your waters break, you are open to infection and/or a prolapse cord so the best place to be after membrane rupture is in the hospital, not at home.

Let this video be a message to any expecting couples to take a birth class. Go the extra mile to educate yourselves. It's not enough to just have a doula and I myself am a doula. Your doula should not have stayed to help you induce labour at 1cm dilated, that was extremely non-productive. Look up prodromal labour and all the ways you can AVOID it. Let go of when you think you'll have the baby and dates and inducing labour. I know you are so so excited to meet your baby but birth trauma is very easy to come by and I promise you would rather be pregnant for a few extra days opposed to suffering from the trauma of forcing them to come on YOUR timeline. Your body will go into labour when it's ready. Unless you are in active labour (6 or more cms) REST! The emotional pain you are seeing them go through is because of their unrealistic expectations with regards to labour and birth. Ignorance is not bliss.

Not to tell anyone to take birth classes or discourage them to do so but even though my husband and I took birth classes and were very diligent in preparing it for a labour when it had started we were complete ly lost 😅. I forgot everything at once but survived and a birth of our precious child wiped away all “bad” labour memories 😊

I had my baby 5 weeks ago ♥️ my active labor was 19 hours (although I also was in pre-labor for days also…) it was intense, emotional, painful, exhilarating, and miraculous… 😭♥️🙏🏻 Now that I have experienced birth, I can’t imagine women have been doing this forever and we have not been kissing the ground they walk on! My mom had 4 kids naturally, I wish I could go back in time and rub her feet more, help her more, etc. Moms are SUPER HEROES 😭🤍

All natural birth mamas relating to this story right now, whether labour was a few hours or days. It IS a pain that you forget but also a pain that you'll always remember. God is amazing.

Birth is all mental. Yes, physical too, but it’s a dance with your mental state. If you are not mentally calm, flowing with your body and baby, your body won’t continue to dance with you. You enter a state of mind that stops progression because you’re in fight or flight. It’s so hard, but the mental preparation you need to do before a natural birth is CRUCIAL. No expectations, just flowing with your body and baby. If you have any doubts or discouragement, your body knows that, and won’t keep going to keep you in a safe state.

I feel for you mama, I’ve had 3 babies. 2 home births AFTER C-section of my first. This is why so many mamas who choose home birth don’t allow for dial action checks. It messes with your mental state, can discourage you, and will inhibit your body and baby from working together leading to more intervention.

Agreed, I went into it with an open mind and knew very well it wasn’t going to be fun. Unfortunately, I had preeclampsia so I had to be on magnesium that made me feel like i had flu from hell on top of labor. Despite all that i trusted the professionals and followed their instructions for the safety of myself and my baby. I wasn’t crying about not having my dream labor no such thing, the only important thing is getting the mom and baby through it safely. I also had great insurance so I wasn’t worried about the financial aspect of it I can’t imagine not having insurance and having to have a baby at home.

Labor and delivery nurse here and crying at the ending. It’s so true! Every birth! It’s incredible

Jesus was definitely there for all three of you every second of that labor - giving Tori strength to keep persevering, providing Chad with comfort to extend to Tori, and in the womb with Micah keeping him at peace all throughout the chaos happening externally. Thank you so so much for sharing. This was an incredibly beautiful messy masterpiece of a story. It’s my first time being so invested in a couple’s relationship, marriage, first pregnancy, labor, and parenting journey, and this video’s definitely my favorite so far. There’s really no other proper response but praise to God for you guys. 💖

1. First off you guys look so beautiful in blue!! 💙 2. What a sign of God that it started exactly at midnight! 3. I’m so sorry it was so painful! 4. When Chad cried as he took a moment to himself at 21:00 mins my heart really 💔 as much the actual pain and giving birth can be so hard on the women, as a father being a bystander and feeling helpless as you watch your wife going through so much pain must be so difficult!! 5. As you said the transition of pain to instant joy was wild to see! 6. Chad when you were talking about the connection to Micah, seeing who “you’re supposed to love” unintentionally causing harm to “the one you know you love” that was *deep* 7. The image of that you received from God when you asked him where he was 😭😭😭 8. Presenting Micah as a gift 🎁 - so so sweet!!!! Tori huge props to you again for giving birth, you did so good!!!

Life is so beautiful despite all of the pain we experience. It's unique, raw and personal for everyone and God is in it with everyone and doing something for each of us in it 🤍🙏🏼 Proud of you guys! ❤️

I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been to relive and share this experience, but am so so glad that in doing so God’s presence was made clear in so many ways. Thank you for being so vulnerable throughout this journey - sending the three of you all the love!🫶

The first birth of our daughter did not go as I had planned, imagined, dreamed or wished but God is faithful. We just had to put our long faithful unconditional friend down (our dog Panda🐕 ) one of the hardest things we had to do. He was suffering so much and we prayed and prayed and asked God to help him so he could stop having seizures. We felt lost and defeated and it effected our faith but really actually grew our faith 🙏 🙌 We are not in control and we can't expect to have God move the way that WE want him to move. He is all knowing and his ways are greater than ours. So happy to see this season of life you two are in may the Lord richly bless your family

While hearing Tori speak during the video, i learned so much and i have so much respect for you Tori and for Chad as well. Thank you for this upload ✨

You had Micha exactly 3 hours after I had my daughter so I was laboring with you Tori! To think that God had his hand on both of us at the same time is amazing. And I’m so happy for your little family and all you went through is so powerful what a story❤God bless you all

Such beauty in this story. Man I felt this to my core! Having been there myself. As our babies are being born, so are the mothers in us. Only the work of the Holy Spirit to sustain you through that many hours. Hallelujah. Nothing but strength written all over this story to both you and Chad. Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤

Thank you guys so much for sharing your story and allowing God to use you. I’m 37 weeks pregnant with my first baby and have been selfishly hoping I would get to hear your story before my own birth. I’m also planning a natural birth, but at the hospital. And I’m so thankful to be reminded that there is no promise that things will be how WE want or envision them. But there is a promise from a perfect Father that whatever the story, His plan is sovereign and He is with us always. Love you guys 💙

I had my baby on February 12th, this year. And I understand perfectly what you guys are talking about in this video, me and my husband talk a lot about how hard it was for him to be there and felt helpless, we as women go through a lot of pain during labor and delivery but the mental challenge that takes from your husband to watch you in such a vulnerable situation should not be take for granted. It’s hard for both. May God bless your family 🙏♥️

Chad, that picture God gave you is so important- that He is with us in the toughest hardships- even if we don't realize it in the moment. Tori, you are so strong and God truly gave you what you needed to make it through labour and delivery. It was so precious to see the joy on your face the second you got to hold sweet Micah. Thank you for sharing this story with us.

woow. Tori all i could think towards the end was “you are your Father’s daughter”, and i mean the way you endured just put the picture of the walk to the Cross in my mind and how He stayed faithful… i know it might be an overexaggeration but honestly felt this so much because i just thought how proud He is of you🥹 Also the processing of the story when Chad said “i finally had THE GUTS to ask Jesus about this” is exactly the only right way my therapist told me i could heal after decades of trauma..it takes courage and it takes being willing to hear Him answer. Just love this story! It has so much beauty in it 💛

Hi Chad and Tori👋, watching this after my obstetrics and gynecology rotations made me feel and sympathise even more. What you and many women all over the world go through is a super power and I'm so glad you know God was with you in it. Many people have certain superstitions and expectations and overconfident advice on labour but in all its form its a beautiful story and I love yours too. I'm so happy our little promise is finally here. During this period i kept having an urge in my spirit to pray for you and God answers prayers. God really is good💜

Y’all are both so beautifully honest. Thank you so much for sharing.

I feel like Jesus was with you in your boldness and wisdom as well. Many women don’t have the courage to advocate for themselves whether in the hospital or at home. Tori, you asked the PERFECT questions at the right times and kept the faith. I know God called me to have a homebirth (it wasn’t only a desire, it was an act of obedience), and when my midwife talked about going to the hospital at a certain point, I just knew it wasn’t an option. God made sure (as difficult as it was) that I could deliver my baby boy at home and that we were all safe. Glad He did the same for you. ❤

From death to life… I felt that one!!! The biggest grace in the world is too see Jesus in your birth story. I pray this for every believer mama🙏🏾 Glory be to GOD y’all💙

Wow! Beautiful story! Our pastor was talking today about how God may or may not deliver us from the fire, but HE WILL BE THERE for us in the pain. Crying with your all at this beautiful birth story. Your story!

I just want to say thank you for being so vulnerable and transparent. Such great role models showing what it's like to process emotions in a world where we still don't talk enough about them, but also being so vulnerable with God.

Wow! Thankyou for being so vulnerable in sharing all this. I cried so many times. Especially awesome to hear what God has shown you and how you can look back on the experience and now see beauty. You both showed so much faith within the struggle, thanks for the encouragement that God is there with us even when we might not realise it til in the future. And you three are looking so sweet. Most beautiful little family ever!

I have 4 kids and it’s so hard for me to make sure I’m spending time with God but your videos honestly feel like a God sent. They make my day and I always end them feeling closer to him. Thankyou ❤

This sounds so similar to my labour! I had my baby girl 6 weeks ago and it was 36 hours of extremely slow progression and just about had to do a c-section as my water broke early on. I relate to this so much. But God is so good and brought me closer to him and my husband through this whole experience and we have the healthiest little girl. God bless you all, thank you for sharing your story ❤️

I cried. Both of you are so strong and I definitely see God in your lives! Happy for your little family 🤍🤍

Just here to say thank you for sharing and being vulnerable. As a fellow christian it was faith building to hear of your hard times and how God was with you. Thank you.

This was beautiful, and so refreshing, the honesty of birth is very needed on this platform. And Chad you sharing at the end how God showed you his presence during a very difficult time made me cry so much. Thank you both so much truly. You are so strong Tori, like seriously a rockstar. You too Chad

I had my 48-hour long labour three years ago, and this makes me feel so validated! I'm not alone! We had a lot of similar experiences, our boys just wanted to take their time :) Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for sharing your story ❤️ our birth stories are very similar. It took me 12 hours to dilate from a 7 to a 10 and it was the hardest work I have ever done. Currently pregnant with our second and praying over our birth every day.

Thank you for being the people you are! ❤❤thank you for being vulnerable and sharing this story with us all! May the Lord bless you are!!❤❤ God is always with us, snd wanting the best for us!❤

Ohhh my wooord thank you for sharing this beautiful story!!! My husband and I are also trusting for an unmedicated birth, approaching 39 weeks and what I find myself wondering about is how much we have prayed over our birth plan and trying to find that balance between God's Will for our delivery and what we trusting for. Not wanting to be too disappointed over it if God's plans are different you know. It's so beautiful to hear how God carried you right through those 36hrs and gave you revelation and understanding at the end of it all. What a blessed testimony😭 God is soooo Gooood! Much love you to you guys🤍

I am crying. Thank you for sharing, such a beautiful story!

I pray that this story continues to be told and heard all over the world. Chad, the picture that God gave you and revelation that He was with you the whole time really ministered to me. I had 2 very difficult pregnancies, with my first being premature at 28 weeks. It was very difficult and no one really talks about the raw side where you question God and wonder where the good is. Thank you both for being vulnerable and sharing your experience. I pray that He blesses your family immensely.

My first labor was very similar, almost 3 days labor, no pain killers, no epidural just trusting God.. only difference was I went to hospital. Still had him naturally. I needed so many stitches. I just had my second just over 20weeks ago and all I can say was did God just give me so much grace!! This time it was fast and very painful. Waters broke 6am had no contractions until 12ish lunchtime 1:40 was at the hospital 2:12pm she arrived. No stitches, no drugs, no epidural, just God with me. The grace He gave me and the peace. He is so faithful. My first experience was really rough even afterwards with depression and him waking up every 30-60mins for a good almost 2years. It all humbled me soooooo much, I had so much pride before and judgement on how other parents were. So now I had an awesome second experience, an easy baby who just sleeps all the time, no depression. I am grateful and thankful to God because if my first was as easy as this second I would have had so much pride. So all my suffering even after I had my first it was all to humble me so imagine the level of pride that I had if I suffered for almost 2-3 years.. God knows what we need and when He’s dealing with us oh we are going to suffer! But when you look back you just see His hand on you the WHOLE TIME!! Tori your second will be so much easier God is so good!!!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

This was one of the sweetest birth stories I’ve heard; I’m sorry for the pain and anguish you went through. You’re husband’s “picture/vision” from the Lord was such a blessing, thank you for sharing that! (I’ve had 3 home births myself, so I can relate to that desire of not wanting your labor and efforts to be in vain.)

Just want to say that no labor is in vain. Everything you do for your child is amazing, no matter how they end up coming into this world.

Thank you for sharing this incredibly intimate story. You are so correct in saying we all have our story and the reward is the most precious gift ever! I just want to share my daughter's comment when you said you were asking God where he was in all the pain and struggle. When you shared that Micah was completely fine and relaxed her comment was - 'That's where God was.' I just identified with that immediately as God was keeping Micah calm and happy and healthy so that when the time came he was in perfect health to meet his amazing mamma and dada. Proud of you both, thank you for your vulnerability. May God continue to bless each day as your family bond grows closer and closer. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Love you guys and your beautiful witness

Wow so so beautiful praising God for the miracle micha is! Amazed at you and the vulnerable to share this! See God’s strength in you!

Wow what a vulnerable story to share. Thank you guys ❤ I have so many thoughts but one is to say I truly see God in this because it’s not a coincidence that you felt Labour coming exactly at 11:11 midnight. I think it was his wink to say I’m with you. As a new mumma and Dr I think it’s so important for anyone who is expecting to really be informed about Labour even at a medical level because knowledge really is power. Of course knowledge doesn’t change the actual experience but the more you know, your expectations change and I think it makes the process different. Thank you so much for sharing this ❤❤

I'm crying alongside you Chad and Tori. Especially when I heard about the picture that God gave Chad, gosh that's so beautiful.

Wow crying because my first labor was so similar! I really understand the level of pain and desperation turning immediately to unmatched joy when my daughter was finally born. I didn’t understand for a long time why God would have me go through such difficulty, but i soon saw that it empowered me for motherhood in ways I can’t describe. God knew I needed that experience to walk into motherhood with confidence. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

You are the strongest person I know - so encouraging. Thank you both for sharing.

Honestly this is the most beautiful, deep and special birth story sharing I ever saw! It’s hard to describe what I felt listening to your very honest sharing. Especially the end Chad sharing the image he received - I cried right along with you. With strong chronic pain that sometimes even paralyzes me I almost recognize what you experienced. It’s really hard to describe. I am so glad and grateful all of you are ok and sweet Micah is here! Thank you for sharing deep from your hearts!

Crying so many tears with you! So thankful to have watched this journey unfold. God was in the midst. Thank you for sharing this! Love you 3 ❤

Chad and Tori. I have been casually following you for years now and it's always a great encouragement to hear and see what you are learning from God. This has to be one of the greatest/biggest lessons yet, right? Thank you so much for vulnerably sharing with us. I cried with you, Chad, when you felt so helpless and defeated and couldn't see God in it. You and Tori both said you were confused because you couldn't "feel" Him in it. But it was so beautiful to hear God's response to you with the picture of Him being there even when you couldn't "feel" Him. I balled as soon as you said that He responded. I, also, have been going through a hard time and subconsciously, I think I've wondered where God has been a lot. It means a lot that He cares to not only be there with us in hard times but continue to care and carry us through and to reassure us that He is always there by taking the time to respond to us. So this really hit home for me and again, I am so thankful to you for sharing. Thanks for the reminder that we can't always base our experiences of God on feelings. Also, Chad, I wanted to say that at times it seemed like you were being really careful not to take away from Tori's hardship - and while this is right to do - don't also take away from your own suffering in this. You both endured hard, traumatic things in different ways and it is more than okay to say that. Nobody can tell either of you that it wasn't traumatic. They don't know what it was like for you and to me, it definitely sounds like one way to describe it! I hope you are getting professional help to work through these feelings and experiences

Wow❤️ I did not expect to cry watching this. I’m currently pregnant (12 weeks) and if anything, this was informing (not discouraging), but also so encouraging and beautiful. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story ❤️

❤ the processing is ongoing for all of us mamas. Don’t let this keep you from wanting more, all labors are different!! I have had two home births and agree on the comfort of being at HOME!

Praise God for your safe delivery! Your commitment to the Lord and keeping him in the forefront of your mind in such a time of stress and pain is a beautiful testimony. You are all so strong, what a beautiful gift from the Holy Spirit. 💛

Baby Micah is beautiful and I just want to say Chad’s picture of Jesus surrounding you in those moments that may have been the hardest thing you have faced was absolutely beautiful and such a great picture of who our God is!

God Bless you all. I’m in tears by the end thinking of my youngest baby’s natural birth, identical to yours. My midwife using her hands to help me get my baby out. What an unexplainable experience that we’ve both been through! You’re not alone 🤍 I wish we could chat and share stories because my birth story was so so so similar to yours. God is so good. Hugs 🤍🤍

I love you guys so much. This was the most beautiful and Spirit filled testimony I've ever heard around birth. God is so faithful. I delivered a still born at 8 months.

wow… I just randomly clicked on this video and you have no idea how much I needed to hear this. I have been sick for two years, bed-ridden for most of it. I have felt robbed of so much life… like so much has been stolen from me. I am still battling against this illness and have been so close to giving up. You never would think that a birth story would be able to speak into a situation like mine, but your story was like a mirror reflection of my inner world for these last two years. So much hope deferred. Thinking that the pain would be rewarded with progress only to find out that nothing has changed. The trauma of this last season has been so heavy and it has been so difficult to find God in the midst of it. But this video came at truly the most perfect time. Thank you for sharing this and for being so vulnerable about your experience. To see you now, after all of that pain and agony with a beautiful baby in your arms has given me the hope I needed to believe that that will one day be me. Free from this pain and, as Chad said, so enraptured by the beauty of the reward that you forget the former agony. God bless you guys 🤍

Having went through a traumatic delivery myself just recently (1/7), I completely understand the feelings of disappointment and being defeated but to think that something like this allows us to see God move in real time, real life, right along with us. Yes, He’s always moving.. but these are the moments that show us He is undeniably moving in the midst!!!!! Your story is beautiful and He gave it to you to tell to someone else that will need it in their moments of disappointment and feeling defeated. God bless all of you ❤

This story was beyond beautiful. What a testimony you all are to everyone who will hear your story. While many of the details are heartbreaking, the outcome of your sweet baby boy being born healthy and your pain instantly becoming joy is evidence of God's hand on your shoulders just like Chad described. Your story has only made me want to become a mom more 💕 love you all!

Started watching your channel a few months ago and am always inspired by your channel!!! Such a blessing to see you vlogs touch peoples hearts ❤!!!

Thank you so much for sharing this! Thank you for always sharing your faith! Chad thank you for sharing that part of your story, I know it was hard but I believe it will help a lot of fathers. Thanks again

Y’all’s story is amazing!!! I am so happy that I found this channel. Your heart for the Lord is incredible. Baby Micah is in incredible hands. Much love and God bless y’all’s little family✝️🫶🏼✝️

Oh guys. I couldn't even look at my birth photos for over a year. You are doing so well. You are so brave. Even this seems like a long wait to share, it really wasn't.

Chad's reaction to Tori's pain and the baby's part in that is very interesting. When my ex-wife was giving birth, my overwhelming feeling about the whole things was personal guilt. I felt like I had inflicted that pain on her, not the baby, which as I think about it is kind of weird, I guess. But I never felt like it had anything to do with the baby, but it was all me that caused this "problem" and inflicted the pain. I have never really sat down and thought about this until Chad described his feelings, so thank you Chad, for taking the time to explain that. It really helped me come to terms with something that's bothered me for almost 40 years now. You both are such a blessing to me personally!

My husband actually struggles with this a lot. He still does so just know you aren’t alone.

@@KatieRingley Thank you! I needed to hear that.

Probably one of the best labor and delivery stories I've heard. ❤🙏🏼

Wow, this is literally such a beautiful story. Through all the pain, it was so beautiful to hear the delivering!!! Praise Jesus for safe birth!! 🤍

So real and raw. This is incredible! Thank you both for sharing your beautiful story and the real emotions.

How precious to see and hear your story! Bless you guys for all the work you've put into in processing the broken expectations. It's a real thing and it's certainly no picnic! I can relate with so much of your story and now my beautiful baby is almost 5 already! He was definitely what I needed than and now and to clarify that I have to mention that the things we need are not always things we "want"! After much personal healing and growth I have come to accept the fact that he is indeed my most refining child and instead of resisting and resenting I will become much more beautiful in spirit by learning from him. My 2nd birth story was a complete different story and brought so much healing to my heart and my prayer for you would be the same: that you could both get to experience the presence of God in the midst of this miraculous event of birthing a child!🙏🏼💖

I cried right with you. Congratulations a thousand times for this job so well done, Tori. And congratulations to you too, Chad, for being there for your wife and son no matter what.

Just wow 😍 thank you for sharing this special experience! 💛 I knew this was going to be a God story and I am so impressed with the way you two handled it! May God bless your lovely family abundantly! 🤗

The way that this video had tearing up and praising the Lord at the same time! GOD IS SO GOOD! This is prime example of rejoicing in our pain and our struggles because of the joy it brings to us and the glory it gives to God in the end🙏🏾💙✨

Man o man!! Well done, to both of you! Thank you for the very vulnerable and intimate video. Glory to God who is with us always.

That picture of Jesus with His hand on Chad's shoulder and Chad's hand on Tori. I feel so emotional just thinking about all the times we may not feel enough for our spouse or maybe children and we ask God where He is, and God is working through us. Beautiful.
