“Never felt a love like this,” Julie wrote.
She continued: “I cannot believe how lucky we are to be able to call ourselves your mummies.Birth story coming later this week, but everything went amazingly and it was the most empowering experience ever, our little boy.”
According toWebMD, a water birth means at least part of your labor, delivery, or both happens while you’re in a birth pool filled with warm water.It can take place in a hospital, a birthing center, or at home, and a doctor, nurse-midwife, or midwife helps you through it.
Julie and Camilla first married in May 2022 in Norway, before sharing their ceremony two months later in Thailand
Julie and Camilla have been open about their relationship and life for at least two years, amassing millions of views on TikTok.When it comes to their pregnancy, the wedded couple revealed that they had used Camilla’s fertilized egg to be implanted in Julie.
The fertilized egg, called an embryo, is then transferred into the uterus.

The couple had previously shared the sad news of Julie’s miscarriage last year, after seven weeks of pregnancy.
“We went to our ultrasound today, and unfortunately our embryo has stopped developing, and we will be going through a miscarriage,” the couple shared in adevastating TikTokon January 3.
In a separate TikTok, Julie opened up about their plans following the heartbreaking news: “It’s been three days since our miscarriage and we just got off the phone with the clinic and we’ve made a plan for what’s gonna happen going forward.
“Since we only have one embryo left and it isn’t of the quality we would’ve liked it to be, Camilla is going to go through another egg retrieval, and the clinic has decided to change her meds so that hopefully the embryos we get after the next retrieval will be of higher quality.”

“We can’t wait to meet you”, Julie and Camilla wrote, along with the following caption: “Say hi to our lil fry”.
A2002 study published in Fertility and Sterilityshowed that patients who experienced an early pregnancy loss had a greater chance of success during their next IVF cycle than patients who did not get a positive pregnancy test.
The new mothers have said they will keep their son’s name and face hidden for “privacy reasons”.
One of their wedding TikTok videos,showing the two women walking down the aisle on a dreamy Thai beach in a black and white dress respectively, amassed 25.6 million views.
Julie and Camilla have both shared their distinctive IVF journeys, with the lovebirds initially revealing that Camilla had gone through the procedure of collecting eggs that had been fertilized with the intent of becoming “embabies”.
The couple had initially intended for Camilla to become pregnant with Julie’s eggs, but in August 2022, they revealed they had “switched” their plan and that Camilla wouldn’t be “pregnant anymore” as a result of her age and the decline in the quality of her eggs, in comparison to Julie’s younger age.
Subsequently, the now-mothers-of-one decided that Julie would first become pregnant with Camilla’s eggs, before potentially welcoming a sibling with Julie’s younger eggs that Camilla would carry in her own body.
Julie and Camilla posted on Wednesday (November 1) pictures of their at-home water birth
Julie was awarded the Year’s Best Influencer title at the 2022 Norwegian Vixen Awards, which is an awards ceremony honoring the most talented and popular bloggers and influencers of the Scandinavian country.
As a result of struggling with anxiety, Julie had shared that she didn’t partake in the awards ceremony, and let her wife step in instead.
Upon picking up her partner’s trophy, Camillasaid: “Look at my wife, she’s very talented.Since I’m the one standing here, I think that I’m actually allowed to do something I never get to do at home, and that’s to brag about my wife.”
Fans were ecstatic at the news and showered the couple with congratulating messages
