OK, we've said it a thousand times, but we will repeat it for the people in the back: Women's bodies do incredible things. We create and carry human life, and that is positively amazing. And when it comes to delivering those babies, we take it to an entirely different level.
No matter how a woman gives birth, she is a warrior. But today, we are giving a shout-out to a momma who gave birth to a big baby without an epidural. You just won't believe it until you see it.

This momma's baby was huge.
TikToker Maira, @reynaybella on the social media platform, and her husband filmed her labor with their son in July. At first, all seems to be going great. Maira was relaxed as Raul brushed her hair. But text on the video reads she gave birth to "The biggest baby that day, Exploding every blood vessel in my face."
Yep, we were scared for her, but we kept watching. Everything went relatively smoothly in the video, with the AJR song "The Good Part" playing in the background. But then, Maira opened her eyes wide, and we were shook.
Her eyes are literally blood red.
We saw her gorgeous 10 lb. 2 oz. son with his beautiful eyes and hair, but we needed more info. Of course, we went straight to the comments to try to understand what exactly happened. One commenter wrote, "this is why they tell you not to push with your face ahahha."
But Maira said, "Nobody told me nothing ."
She explained in another comment that she just wanted the baby in her arms. "Yes I hold my breath and pushed hard not caring of nothing, I just wanted him out because it was hurting me so much. I had blood coming out of eyes ," she wrote.
Maira wasn't alone. Other mommas shared similar experiences.
The comment section is always a great place to go to feel a sense of camaraderie.
"That happened to me and people kept looking at me thinking some one punch me ," one mom wrote.
It's happened to a lot of moms, actually. "all my vessels did explode but I had [the] tiniest baby," another mom commented.
"I burst blood vessels in my face too, thankfully my eyes weren't red like that however they were swollen the next day! And my baby was tiny! " someone else wrote.
The video scared a few people.
We've had babies, and we get why this is pretty terrifying.
" I'm seriously getting scarred everyday I think about having a baby," one person commented.
"Another reason I'm so terrified of birth," someone else agreed.
Lots of people wanted help from the girl with the list.
"LADY WITH LIST, LADY WITH LIST, COME OUT COME OUT WHERE EVER YOU ARE ," one comment reads.
"even tiktok search bar is asking for the lady with the list ," another person wrote.

But most people just wanted to congratulate Maira on her beautiful baby.

People mostly left sweet comments. "beautiful little baby just come out and looking around like he been here before lol Congratulations," one person wrote.
Maira, girl, we are impressed. You went in and owned that delivery. Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy. He is one very lucky little guy to have a momma like you.
