The waterbirth of
Finnley Hayden Pikkaart
Monday 2 februari 2009 at 09.10 hour Our son Finnley Hayden Pikkaart was born
At 06.30 my water broke and the contractions started.
Meanwhile Michel was filling up the rented birthing bath. Around 9 I could go into the not yet completely filled bath.
As I was expecting it to take some time I went to the toilet first. But there I had my first pushcontraction. So I walked quikly, while undressing, to the bath where I was checked to see how far I was.
With the next contraction Finnley’s head was born. I held his head my self and with another contraction helped him in to the word.
That was something very special. I held him onder the water for about a minute
Because everything went so quickly the birth it self wasn’t filmed. Only when he was above the water the camera was turned on.
Luckily there were pictures taken. in this clip you are seeing a compilation of these 2.
