♪ ♪ Hello!

KIMI: Something about diving just pacifies him, and then he wakes up later, like... SACHIKO: Like "Go back in the water!"

KIMI: Yeah.

I'm like a chronic optimist, like I always believe that everything's going to be fine.

And then when I became pregnant, gosh!

And so just from the moment you find out that you're carrying this precious cargo, you can't help but, I could not help, but start second-guessing everything and being like, "Am I doing it wrong?

Am I doing it right?"

♪ ♪ Hearing what you had gone through to really kind of fight for a natural birth, I think I've always wanted it, but there's just so much fear based around it and so much fear being fed.

It was almost like a secret where I didn't want to tell anybody that that's something that I wanted because just don't want to hear all the negative comments, and you don't want to hear everyone say, "Oh, that's so scary."

Or, "Oh, what if?"

So I just stopped talking about it, you know?

And I just figured that you know the hospital would be the only real safe way to go and that any wishes or curiosity even, that I had about something different was to be kept to myself.

♪ ♪ To hear that, for every no that you were told, you just kept going until you found a yes, that gave me the strength to say, "Okay, I can take just another step."

One step just led to another step, led to another step and before I knew it, I was sitting down with a little casual interview with Ye, who's now my midwife, it was just, a click that I just, like I knew.

SACHIKO: Aw... KIMI: So, yeah.

YE: Hi, Kimi.

I'm here!

I'm going to measure your mama's tummy and see how big you are.

JUSTIN: Just the whole empowerment thing.

Like, I feel like you are really empowering Kimi, that's the most important part of the relationship, I think.

So, it's just really from you encouraged her to just you know, choose her path and empower herself, you know?

Let her make the decision.

YE: At this point, your job, is growing this baby.

KIMI: Mm-hmm... ♪ ♪
