Lauren Brant has finished off the year by posting a very confronting series of photos showing her moments after giving birth to her fourth child Lauren took to Instagram on Tuesday to repost a series of images taken moments after she gave birth alongside an expansive retelling of Clay's birth story 'My favourite moment of 2024,' Lauren captioned the images. 'Birthing our 4th son so freely - in my home sanctuary with my husbands grounding support.' Continuing, Lauren recounted the hours leading up to the birth, revealing that she had been enjoying a family day out before being 'called to the beach'.
'We played in the sand, I had a little run with the kids and then I took a moment to say a prayer to the moon for the journey of my baby earthside,' she wrote. 'Moments later, I had my first sign that Clay had started his descent. We went home, bathed the boys, fed them, tucked them in to bed and then I retreated to my room as Barry prepared the bath.
' Continuing the expansive post, Lauren revealed that her labour took just 30 minutes. 'I fully dilated within moments and Clay was born after a few short contractions. It felt slow, I was fully present - but it was about 30mins in total,' she wrote.
'He was born at 8.33pm and we stayed up till 2am in the stillness of the night basking in the energy of that beautiful full moon and completely mesmerised by our 4th son Clay. It was absolute MAGIC.

'Full body goosebumps!! So amazing, just wow,' one fan commented. 'Thank you so much for sharing this lovely, so in awe of you!! Something I also hope to experience.
' Many were moved to comment with a simple: 'Beautiful,' augmenting the sentiment with love heart emojis. The couple originally shared images of Clay's home birth to Instagram in July. 'CLAY,' the parents captioned the picture series.
'Our son was born 20.7.24 at 8.

We look forward to sharing our home-birthing story with you.' Commenters were quick to call the couple out for revealing a little too much in the photos. Aside from baby Clay, Lauren and Barry are proud parents to three sons, Miller, six, Houston, four, and Samson, two 'The birthing pool is too much.
.. reminds me of a horror movie,' one wrote.
Another commented with a similar sentiment, arguing that the intimate pictures should not be for public consumption. 'Some things including a bowl of placenta are for your family album not for the public domain,' they said. 'You have delivered a baby like millions of women do on a daily basis.
..no biggy.
' One reader said they were happy for Lauren and Barry, but the intimate pictures were too graphic. 'I'm happy for you but I don't get the need to make it all so graphically public,' the commenter said. 'You're not superheroes & women have been having babies since time began.
' Yet another chimed in with: 'Seriously. Isn't anything private anymore? Why don't you keep that moment within the family. Billions of women have babies.
We all thinks its special, but guess what. It's only special you your family.' Aside from baby Clay, Lauren and Barry are proud parents to three sons, Miller, six, Houston, four, and Samson, two.
