hi! its me - grace, otherwise known as lipsticks and lattes! if you're new here, I am an attorney in new york. My older videos documented my journey through law school, the bar exam, finding a job, and now, my life as an attorney and wife.

hi all! I just wanted to reiterate that this is my story - i know a lot of people don't agree with elective inductions and won't agree with the way i chose to have our child, but thats fine! also, i know that my experience is not like everyone else's, but i still wanted to share so first time parents like myself are not terrified of going into the hospital! xo
Girl you do not have to explain your choices to the people of youtube!
She’s absolutely GORGEOUS, Grace. 🥰 Congratulations to you and Jesse. 🎉 My daughter (only child) is now almost 17 yrs old, but I also had a very positive birth with her. Only 6 hours from start to finish too! Woohoo! 🤣I’m so happy that you had a positive experience. ❤️ Thank you for sharing with us. 🤗
Actually a big study showed that ppl who had elective inductions at 39 w for first time moms had better outcomes than those who waited and see. They also had lower chances of needing a c section. This study came out in 2016 and was a very reliable study. That's why so many drs are now allowing for ppl to get elective inductions at 39 weeks.
I ended up needing a medical induction at 39w and it went really well. My next baby will be an elective induction.
I also agree, lactation specialists at the hospital are the terrible and not helpful. My nipples were scabbed over. I finally got with a lactation specialist outside the hospital and it no longer hurt.
More importantly, congrats on baby!
my bff is a nicu nurse and is all for this!
You don’t have to explain yourself
Having induction next week so happy to have seen this video ! i was super nervous
Grace, I’ve been following you for so long and I literally squealed when I found out you were pregnant. Now that you’ve given birth to Lila (my sisters name is Liala-same pronunciation) I’m over the moon for the mommy vlogs soon to come. She’s a beautiful child and is so lucky to have you and Jesse as her parents and you two are so lucky to have her, to cherish and nurture. Thank you for the raw and real content. You’re a warrior!!
Thank you so much for filming this and I totally agree everything on the internet right now makes me so scared for labor but this story helped so much ease my mind! I am so excited to watch all your new mom content! Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl 💗
So glad you’re back and so glad to also finally hear something positive about birth! Although I’m not even pregnant, still good to know. All the best to you and your little family ❤️
Thank you sooo much for this video.
I’ve been so worried about getting induced in a week and your positive story has helped relieve the worry and anxiety around our baby being born.
❤❤
How was ur experience?
I’m curious to know your experience too. I’m having induction soon 😢
Congratulations Grace and Jesse! Lila is so beautiful! I’m so glad you had such a great experience. Can’t wait for more baby content!! 💗
So happy to see you back on CZcams and that you had such a positive experience! I also had an amazing elective induction experience with my son last year. Glad you and baby are happy and healthy😊
It was so heartwarming to hear how supportive your doctor was! Congratulations!
Congratulations, Grace! We’re so happy to meet Lila! ❤️

LOVE positive birth stories. I’m not a mom yet but hoping to be in the next few years and it’s really refreshing to see there is still hope out there (with all the negative ones posted)! Hope your PPD is getting better ❤️
You’re back!!! Yay! You look fabulous! 🤩🌷
So cool! Where did you get that pink bow you have in the picture she’s wearing
OMG Lila is such a cutie! So glad to see you back, you lol amazing!
Omg congrats! I’ve been waiting on this as I don’t have social media. Can’t believe how far you have come!!!
Congratulations! So happy for you and Jesse!
Oh em gee! Grace congratulations!!!! ❤❤
omg she is just the cutest!! congratulations to you and Jesse!!
Congratulations Grace and Jesse! She’s beautiful!!
Thanks for sharing your story Grace! 😊 Lila is so cute and I hope you and your family are doing well!

Wow never had a baby but this was extremely helpful for the future. Congratulations to you and Jessie. Lila is absolutely beautiful. ❣️
So happy to see you back! What a perfect little angel! Congratulations on that beautiful little girl! Lots of love!!! 💞💞💞💞💞💕💕💕💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Congratulations on your beautiful daughter 🥰
Congratulations Grace!!!! 💕💞
Congratulations! She is absolutely beautiful 💕 I am so happy you had a positive birth. I also had an elective induction with my son at 39 weeks and it was the best and most smooth experience (as smooth as birth can be lol). So happy for you and Jesse!
Congratulations Grace! 🎉🎉
i am so happy everything went smoothly!
Hi Grace!!!!!!!Congratulations to you and Jesse!!!! She's so cute!!!!Hi Lila!!!!!!! 💛
Congratulations, she is beautiful !! I hope everything is better and don't forget to take care of yourself too. Wish you all the best!
Congratulations!!!! She’s beautiful and you’re amazing for what you did. I really love how good you are about going with the flow with the decisions you need to make for birth. I feel like that would help coming across barriers like not being able to breastfeed for example if you were set on it. I definitely want to be like that when I get pregnant. Hope you’re feeling better and recovering ❤️
Welcome back and congratulations! So good to see you and Lila. She looks so much like Jesse as a baby, but your family probably says she looked like you as a baby. I am sure she changes every day! So precious!
She’s precious. Congratulations
She's beautiful. Congratulations !!!!!!!
I had a wonderful hospital birth too! I felt like I was truly being listened to and cared for. I am glad you had a good experience.
The video starts at 2:00.
She’s a doll!! Glad you’re doing better. Loving your updates on IG too 🤭 wishing you the best moving forward.
Thank you so much!!
She is so beautiful Grace!! Congratulations
Congratulations, Grace. So happy for you and Jesse. I have been watching your videos since your 2nd year law school. Very inspiring. Best wishes.
Thank you so much!!
One of my fave former students is Lilah. Now in college 💛 She’s precious. I had an elective induction w my 3rd & planned for an planned C-section for my twins.. ended up Emergency CS a week b4. We have to do what works for US. Sometimes Eviction is needed Lol Congrats!! 🎉
Congratulations!! That is such a beautiful name.
I’m so happy to see this video! I have been. Thinking about you ♥️♥️♥️

Welcome Lila Jane 🥰 Grace, I hope you are doing well :) Motherhood looks good on you!
Congrats. I am so happy for you
Thank you for sharing your positive hospital birth story! I had a positive hospital birth too. And yes, postpartum hot flashes are not a joke. Currently suffering from them too. I wish you well in your postpartum recovery 💖
Congratulations !!
@@LipsticksandLattes Thank you so much ☺️
Congratulations! I gave birth to my son in February and this video brought me back 🥰
Congrats!
Was it a hospital ?
I’m so happy to see positive induction stories. I’m dual military and my husband is leaving around my due date so we wanted to do an elective induction and any time anyone hears about it they just tell me how horrible it’s going to be.
Yessssssss this is exactly what they are telling me that labor would be longer and higher risk of needing a C-section
Welcome back ! That was an amazing birth story so positive realistic and just real, love u and baby Lila 🥰💐💕🌷
Congratulations babe
What beautiful eyes and name Miss Lila Jane!!!
Thank you soooo much for this. I will be 39 weeks next Thursday and my Dr said I could be induced and I’m pretty sure I am going to move forward with it.
Have that same dress lol
Cervical checks are not always painful for everyone i heard that its very painful whenever i asked someone they told me the same. I had one 3 days ago it wasn’t painful at all and i was shocked that it was done that quick it just felt uncomfortable. Maybe it didn’t hurt because my cervix was very soft🤷🏻♀️but i was just 1cm dilated at 38 weeks
Same here, my last appt Dr checked me & it didn't hurt even a little bit.
Congratulations! 🎉🥰
I saw you feeding with bottle. Are you not breastfeeding?
Is it true that the nausea goes away immediately?? Or does it just gradually get better in the days after birth?
mine lasted like 1 more day, but i'd assume from the painkillers via epidural!
39 weeks and I also want to end this uncomfortable pregnancy but my mother and mother in law and my husband are all against me and not supporting me and telling me to wait till I’m 41 weeks and then get an induction. The thought of waiting for 2 more weeks is putting me in so much stress. The reason thats stopping me from and elective induction is my fear that something might go wrong and will make me regret it.
Omg
I’m so happy for you! My good friend at work were nurses and her water broke on Fourth of July and I wheeled her down to L&D. I was so scared for her lol I know nothing about babies
I know it’s debated which is best but there are those studies showing less risks in 39 week inductions. You did what you felt was best for you. I was induced at 39 weeks because my son had stopped growing and there was concerns about the placenta. I had a good and quick experience but I know that’s not the case for everyone either. Regardless she is here! 💕
Yes! It’s called the ARRIVE study.
You know what can I just say 😂 I was having some issues with lactation consultants as well, I felt like they were a bit too fanatical for my taste, not saying all are like that but at my hospital it was like that! I was doing both breast and bottle and between them and nurses grabbing and squeezing my sore boobs it was a bit much. I was already feeling overwhelmed with people coming into my room constantly because I already suffer from anxiety and was also suffering from chronic high blood pressure and severe preeclampsia, plus exhaustion from not sleeping (from being in labor overnight, nurses waking you up at all hours of the night, plus feeding the baby) at one point a lactation consultant came in just to talk and introduce herself at 11 at night while I was trying to sleep and although I was not rude to her and allowed her to talk, I was livid and extremely upset about that! My fiance and I are extremely exhausted, stressed and sleep deprived and here comes a very entitled lactation consultant very unnecessarily coming in at almost midnight waking people up. I can even understand if it’s someone to make sure my baby and I are alive but really? A lactation consultant coming into a sleep deprived, freshly postpartum woman’s room who’s been having severe health complications! I’m still mad about that almost like my personal space was being completely violated! I wrote a bit of a complaint but didn’t mention her name because I didn’t want the lady to get in trouble but I was saying like a word of advice, send lactation consultants in at a reasonable hour and not rudely as almost midnight to a women’s room that you KNOW needs the rest!
Congratulations to you and Jesse, she's beautiful! She shares a birthday with my daughter who turned 17 that day.
They had you pushing for 2 hours?! Wow! That must’ve been draining. I was recommended by our first doctor, based on my medical history, to get induced. My second doctor said it was unnecessary and totally up to me. Reason why she recommended was so we can be in a somewhat controlled environment. I decided to go up to 40 weeks, but surprise! My baby decided to come at 39 weeks lol congratulations to you and Jesse. Take each day one day at a time.
Yes! I am 39 weeks and because he’s so low they have said when doing cervical checks the have to go around his head to get to my cervix and man does it hurt!!
Wheew I couldn’t imagine pushing for that long. I’m not sure how long I pushed but I don’t think it was more than 25 minutes? Isn’t it crazy to think something like PUSHING is something we don’t even think about how to do until the time comes
I thought cervical checks were HORRIBLE too! I thought something was wrong with me because I had never heard anyone say they hurt. 🤡
the next induction won't take as long
My cervical checks brought me to tears too. Both times. Awful!
its crazy bc i've had one or two that didnt hurt at all, but the rest hurt like hell!
Omg congrats! I’ve been waiting on this as I don’t have social media. Can’t believe how far you have come!!!
