It was about two o'clock in the morning when Amy felt her first contraction, just a small cramp, starting in her lower back and moving around her whole belly. Touching her belly, she moaned softly in bed, feeling the tightening and smiled as it ended.

"Mmh..." She rose without waking her husband next to her, knowing that he'd just be a basket case.

 

It wasn't that Tim wasn't excited, she knew he'd been dying for her to start labor, he was just very anxious about having a home birth. For Amy, it didn't seem like it was going to be scary because her family had been midwifes for years. Her grandmother was one, her mother still did it and she always found a way to help the birthing mother. Amy was starting to feel aroused thinking about how her own birth was starting.

 

Moving slowly down the hall and to the kitchen, she thought of waking him when things got more intense. She knew she needed him but out of the two of them she was the most calm. Which was actually pretty funny, considering she had the ten pound baby coming out of her.

 

Wow, ten pounds she thought, and that was last weeks check up. Although she was only a week late, her belly looked as if she was three weeks late. It was firm to the touch and rounded but it also was low, dropping between her legs when she sat. She was surprised she was comfortable in bed.

 

Feeling another contraction start, she reached out with both hands, grabbing the island in the kitchen.

"Hhhoo hhhhoooo..." She breathed deeply and gently rocked her hips back and forth, feeling her belly tighten hard.

When it ended, she looked at the clock, 2:09. "Okay, good...keep coming..." She said softly, rubbing her large belly. Amy panted slowly, starting to feel more pressure build up.

 

She moved to the living room and shimmied off her bottoms, squatting with her arms on the couch. Parting her legs, she gently thrust a finger inside herself, feeling something squishy. Her water had yet to break, she groaned. Staying in that position, she put both hands on the couch as she felt another contraction coming.

The intensity of it was greater and she moaned a bit louder this time.

"Uughhhhhh...." Her belly felt as hard as a rock as her uterus contracted and she panted as it ended, noticing it lasted a lot longer as well.

"Hhhoo hoooo heee..." She panted and moaned, then heard footsteps down the hall.

 

"Amy?!" Tim called down the hall, walking in to see his wife. "Baby, why didn't you wake me up? Are you alright?" He immediately drops to her side, putting a hand on her back.

 

"I'm fine...just a few contractions, I didn't want to alarm you."

 

"Contractions...okay so it's starting." He said, almost to himself. It wasn't that he didn't think they could do this on their own, he was just nervous that something would go wrong. Amy was a first time mom and even though she'd helped with many deliveries, he was skeptical she'd be alright with just him to help her.

 

"Mmmh yeah...it's fine babe, I feel good." She said, deepening her squat and feeling herself open up a bit more. She was determined to have a nice easy birth. It didn't mean she didn't want pain, she wanted to feel her baby coming. That was one of the reasons she wouldn't go to the hospital and get drugs pumped in her. Amy just wanted to ease this baby from her body the way she felt it should happen.

 

Tim nodded a few times, concentrating on her round belly, a terrified look on his face. "Just, uhh keep breathing and it'll all be over soon...!" He said, rubbing her back gently but firmly, which actually felt pretty good.

 

"I don't want this to be over soon Tim, I'm gonna take my time...Mmh lower..." She demanded and he moved his hands just as she felt the next contraction building up.

"Uuuuhhhh....ooooooohhhh..." Amy moaned, the pressure building up so much and then finally her water popped, warm fluid running down her thighs and legs onto the floor.  

 

"Wow, oh god! Okay just concentrate on your breathing!" Tim said nervously, still rubbing his wife's back.

 

"Mmmhh...hhhee hhhee hoooo..." Amy took one hand and put it on her belly, feeling the contraction disappear. "Mmh they're getting stronger now..."

 

Careful of the mess on the floor, she stood, Tim immediately supporting her. "Are you alright sweetheart? How're you feeling?" He asks, a worried look on his face.

"Tim, I'm fine...I feel like I'm having a baby, it's okay." She touched his cheek and then leaned in to kiss it.

 

He nodded and stroked her hair. "Alright, just let me know if something feels wrong please." He plead, trying not to be as nervous for her.

 

Amy smiled and locked her hands behind her husbands neck. Her low belly brushed against him as she swayed a bit. Tim reacted by putting his hands on her hips and started to smile. "I'm sorry...I'll try to be calmer." He said, kissing her lips softly. "I just want you two to be safe."

 

"We will be...," she started to feel another contraction, "Mmmh Tim, I don't think I can stand anymore..." She said slowly, the pressure really starting to build up.

 

"Okay, alright sweetheart, where do you want to go?" He asked, dealing a little bit better with his nerves.

 

"Bed...uuhh...gimme a sec..." She moaned then, a low deep moan, as she could feel the head entering her birth canal. "Tim...Tim..." She said, her voice clear that she was in pain.

 

Tim took a steadying breath and tried to focus on her. "It's okay...I'm right here...lets get you laying down." He said after the contraction ended, a lump in his throat. He hated her being in pain but he knew how much a natural childbirth meant to her.

 

"Mmhh...Mmh I only lost it for a second..." She grinned and let Tim walk with her down the hall, then help her on the bed.

 

"I know babe, you're doing great." He kissed her temple as she moved into a position that felt right, all fours. Amy's belly hung low and brushed against the comforter.

 

Tim stood by the bed, his hand on her lower back rubbing it soothingly.

"Mmmh...thank you babe, that feels good." She said, once the contraction ended. Tim smiled glad he could help her in any way.

 

"Do you want to push this way love?" He asked, not sure what the best way was.

 

Amy shook her head and moved into a semi-seated position. Her belly hung between her legs as her hands caressed it. "Can you at behind me?" She asked, gasping at the end as the contractions were right on top of each other now. Amy spread her legs as Tim got behind her and gently thrust two fingers inside. She went in deep and let out a moan, Tim kissing her shoulder and moving her hair so he could see. He couldn't believe how sexy he found her. It wasn't even her big belly or breasts, it was the simple fact that she was birthing his child. She was pushing it out from her body, working hard to bring it here. Tim shifted, feeling a bulge in his pants as he watched his wife. He knew that she needed him now and massaged her hips a bit.

 

"Mmmh hhhoo...Holy crap...I'm at ten babe..." Amy seemed calm and steady and he was amazed. Tim tried to stop his hands from shaking and nodded.

 

"Okay, alright. Good Amy, I guess.. push when you're ready hun..." He said, a slight tremble in his voice.

 

Amy leaned against him until she felt a contraction. Her hand gripped his, the other on her belly and she leaned forward, pushing.

 

"Uuurrrgghhhhh!" Her face became pink and her brow was wet. She could feel her first born moving into the birth canal, the head feeling huge.

 

"Gooood Amy...good job..." Tim said, swallowing hard as he peered over his wife's shoulder, not seeing anything yet. He tried not to panic, reminding himself that they had a big baby and it would obviously take more than one push.

 

"Aaahhh Ahhh...it's coming...I can't feel it Tim, it feels good." She caressed her low and almost oval shaped belly now and gave another big push when she had another contraction.

 

"That's it Amy, that's it, come on baby. Mmh you're amazing sweetheart..." Tim said, supporting his wife when she relaxed against him after releasing the push.

 

"Mmmmh...Tim...oooh god."

 

"I'm right here Amy...just rest a moment." He rubbed her shoulders and pressed a kiss on her neck. Grabbing a washcloth with a still shaky hand, he dabbed his wife's forehead.

 

"Mmmhh...ooh here's another..." She leaned forward more and felt Tim rubbing her back softly.

"Uuurrgghhhhhh!!!" Amy's face was bright red with effort as she bore down.

 

Slowly but surely, Tim watched as his wife's vagina bulged out with their baby's head. He squirmed a bit, unsure of why he found it so arousing.

"That's it sweetheart... Keep going.." He kissed the back of Amy's neck slowly, letting her know he was here for her.

 

His nerves were slipping away as he watched his wife bulge. Tim couldn't help but find it sexy that she was working so hard to push out his baby.

 

Amy laid back against him, panting hard as she released the push.

"Oooh god...it's so big Tim...hhooo hhhoooo...." She blew air in and out of her cheeks.

 

"You're doing a great job love, are you sure you don't need anything else? Want a different position?" He mentally patted himself on the back for having the scissors and suction bulb ready to go for when the baby was born, as well as the string to tie off the cord.

 

Amy shook her head as she panted. "No...I'm okay, I just...Urrgggh I need to squat."

 

Tim helped her move so her back was against the side of the bed, her legs spread wide with her belly hanging between them. "Ooooh ooohh..." Amy breathed slowly as she felt the pressure becoming almost unbearable. She shook her head, determined to override this. "Mmmh...mmhh..." She moaned sweetly, almost as if she was orgasming.

 

Tim smiled, recognizing the moan and rubbed her thighs. "That's it love...moan it out, good girl..."

 

"Mmmmh ooooh ooohh uurrgghhhh!" Amy moaned and grunted until finally Tim saw the head peaking through, creating a tear drop shape.

"Push Amy, keep going babe, I can see the top of the head!" He said, hands shaking a bit as he watches.

 

Amy just nodded, riding the contractions but being unable to speak. "Uurrggghhhhhhh!!!" She pushed hard and looked down, seeing the crown starting to form. "Hhhooo hooooooooo hhhhhoooo..." She panted and breathed heavy. Her hands which were on the floor, reached out for her husband. "It burns oooh Tim please... It burns...."

 

He felt her hands come behind his neck. "Its okay love...its okay." His eyes met hers, breathing with her as he kept her focused. "Good girl...good job momma..." He caressed her back, keeping a bit of distance between them so he could watch their child crown.

 

"Hhhee hhhheee hhhhoooo...." Amy panted quickly, feeling it move a bit. "Uuuuurrghhhhhh!" She pushed their child into a full crown, along with a some fluid. Tim watched as her next few big pushes brought the child's head out, fluid going all over Amy's thighs and the floor. Tim supported it as it came and Amy gasped as it slid out fully with a rush of fluids.

 

"Amy baby, you're so close..." Tim quickly grabbed a towel and placed it under Amy. Another one was on his leg to wrap the baby in when he caught it.

 

"Mmmhhhh....no more...uugggh Tim I can't..." Amy panted hard, her face dripping with sweat onto her breasts. Tim wiped away the sweat and rubbed along her side, her low and oval shaped belly.

 

"You can do this sweetheart, I promise. Come on baby, a few more pushes, feel how close our baby is..." Tim took her hand and placed it on the large head she had just worked hard to push out.

 

Amy smiled weakly and giggled. She nodded her head, feeling another contraction.

 

Tim recognized the look and kissed his wife sweetly on the lips before returning to the birth of their child. "Come on Amy....push!"

 

Amy grunted and bore down with everything she had. The baby moved slightly, the neck showing a bit. She took a breath and pushed harder again, crying out when she felt something stuck in her.

 

"Tim...Tim something's wrong...baby's it coming.." She gasped, laying back after a good five minutes of pushing with no change.

 

Tim took a deep breath, trying not to freak out. He knew that it wouldn't help Amy or his baby of he panicked. "Okay baby....hold on, just take a deep breath." He suspected that the baby's shoulders were stuck so he gently put his hands inside his wife. No matter how gentle he tried to be, Amy felt herself being stretched to the absolute max. She panted fast and huffed and puffed air out. Her hands gripping her husbands shoulders, squeezing. Tim felt the shoulders stuck behind her bone. "Amy...next contraction give me a big big push!"

 

Amy nodded, a few tears running down her face. She felt the next contraction and grunted, feeling Tim's fingers turning the baby.

"Uuurfghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

 

It all happened fast then. She felt relief as Tim watched and helped the shoulders being born, the torso and finally the baby's bottom half.

 

"It's a girl!" Tim said, tears in his eyes as he handed his daughter to her mother. Amy held her on her now flattened stomach. Her eyes widened at how big her daughter was. "Wow... She's a big girl..." Amy smiled and kissed her daughters forehead. They stayed like that awhile and Tim held the baby as Amy had a few more contractions and started pushing for the placenta.

"Uuurghh....ooooh Oohhh uuhhhh..." She moaned as it came out in a big gush, ended up on a towel on the floor. "Mmmh I'm done..." She laughed softly and made her way carefully on the bed with Tim and their newborn.

 

"Thank you for staying so calm for me..." She kissed him softly.

"Anything love." He replied, wrapping an arm around her and holding his new family.
