Jessa’s time came for her to give birth to her third child at an unexpected moment. “We were very caught off-guard with my water breaking,” says Jessa. She ended up giving birth at home on her couch.
“Our birth plan through this whole pregnancy was that we would deliver at a birthing suite at the hospital with a midwife there,” Jessa said in a video released on Wednesday. “However, the morning that my water broke was the morning that my midwife had left town for a week.”
According to Women’s Health, the birth was pretty dramatic as it was all caught on film. “Those first few moments right after the baby’s born, are the absolute sweetest moments of your life. Just looking at that sweet baby, I always cry.” Jessa said after two midwives coached her through breathing exercises and the birth.
