Many women plan to have a natural and unmedicated birth but often find that there aren't many resources. That's why one former contestant from the The Bachelor decided to share the unedited video from her natural birth.
Bekah Martinez said that watching other natural births while she prepared for her own helped her and made the whole experience less scary.
Bekah competed for the heart of Bachelor Arie Luyendyk Jr., but sadly, did not get a rose in the end.
The couple announced they were expecting a baby girl in September 2018. Congrats!
She shared this breastfeeding photo which showed off her postpartum belly bump and wrote an empowering message to new moms in the caption.
Bekah uploaded the video to her YouTube channel and it depicts her labor and delivery at a birth center in Los Angeles.
When she was ready to give birth, Bekah moved into a birthing tub and was supported by Grayston, her mom, and midwives.
She used natural birth aides such as massage and walking to help through the pain of contractions.

Bekah said in her Instagram that she anticipates people will tell her she should have kept this video private, but she said she wanted to share it to help other moms who were planning an unmedicated birth.
A lot of YouTube comments on the video praise Bekah for sharing this and for being a true warrior during the birth. Many people said they cried while watching the video.
It's not every day that a celeb shares such an intimate video with fans, but it looks like people support Bekah's decision to share this.
