Bekah Martinez, who appeared on Arie Luyendyk's season of "The Bachelor," gave birth to both her son, Franklin, and daughter, Ruth, at home.
After being sent home on "The Bachelor," Martinez found love with partner Grayston Leonard. The couple has since had two children together, Ruth, 1, and newborn baby Franklin.
Choosing to share a video of Franklin's home birth with her thousands of followers, Martinez wrote on Instagram, "At first I felt nervous about sharing this video. Don't get me wrong; my experience with Franklin's birth was beyond what I could have hoped for ... Strangely though, the footage felt so raw and primal that I was actually uncomfortable watching it back. I sat with this feeling for a while, and I came to a couple conclusions."
"One, that I truly was scared of the mean things people might say about something so sacred to me," Martinez continued. "But also, more importantly, I realized that I felt uncomfortable watching myself in that much POWER. I realized I still had so many negative, subconscious, deeply-embedded thoughts telling me that I wasn't feminine enough; that I looked and sounded weird. I projected so many insecurities onto an experience that was truly one of the most powerful, magical moments of my life."
