Sharing My Birth Stories...

- čas přidán 6. 08. 2024
- Yesterday, my baby turned three and tomorrow my eldest, Tom, will officially be an 8-year-old. Their birthdays are making me incredibly nostalgic. I’ve been going down the rabbit hole looking at all their baby pictures. It’s also made me reflect on motherhood and childbirth. Hearing others' birth stories was so helpful and empowering for me. So, I wanted to share my birth stories with all of you.

"Gen is a small person and Gen did not grow a small baby."
Well, she gave birth to a moose.
I was waiting for this comment thanks!
Mini Moose!
@FlyingMonkies325 I was thinking that myself. Seriously though. She is brave to have had her children born at home.
This. LMAO 🤣
Why does this cmt have 666 likes? xD
Goddamn , GIRL. YOU BIRTHED THREE PADALECKI-SIZED YOUNG. YOU ROCK
“Gen is a small person and Gen did not grow a small baby” Well... Have you seen her husband.. That tall giant Winchester 🙈🙈🙈
Smriti Kaur Moose
😂😂
Exactly
😂😂😂😂😂
I’m not surprise it wasn’t a small first baby Jared is a giant
i fr fr though that Tom was still a toddler, can't believe he's turning 8. time really does fly
carlie likes to scream and cry a lot ME TOO holy crap
Holy crap. Me too. 🤦
@@audreyl.4876 I just realized I just commented the same thing just about I tried to dull it down and not say s*** lol.
Wait hes turning right I thought he was like 5 no joke 5 or 4
I so love her and that she is open too telling fans her and Jared's story and can't wait too see her again as Ruby on next week's SPN it's going too be awesome.
Ikr i feel like im one lf the only ppl tjat liked ruby as a character- idc if she turned out bad, i always loved ruby
"Gen is a small person and she didn't grow up a small baby "
Well ... his father is Jared so
True that true that
Sometimes I forget gen played ruby. She’s literally the SWEETEST person like what. Them acting skills 👌
When I saw the picture of Jared holding Gen my heart melted
This is so beautiful especially the part when she was talking about Odette and how she paused her birth so that Jared could be there . You cleared up that question because I didn't even think that was possible you are a friken worrier just amazing.
Side note all I could picture before this video was Ruby giving birth like Jessie's mom did in season 5 so there is that .
@Blue moon It's a type of drug that hospitals or medical people have
@Blue moon acupuncture needles are used to open or close specific nerves in the body. No medication at all, but very powerful.
They just radiate so much love and positivity ❤️ they aren't greedy or shove their fortunes in ppls faces they come across as so genuine and real kind grateful and humble they are the ultimate team these two and I don't really follow many celebs or even couples but these two just have something so serene about them idk it could just be me and my radar being way off hahaha 🤣❤️xx
Stories like this are always bittersweet for me. From a young age, as old fashioned as it sounds, all I ever wanted to be was a wife and mother. I had a stay at home mother growing up and she was my strongest influence, my best friend, and the best role model I could ever have. Anyway, those things were never meant to be for me. Being born with a genetic disorder that could, at best, cause a stroke or heart attack, giving birth was never advised for me as the potential for my and/or my baby's death was too great. Being in my 50's now, even if it were medically possible, time has run out. And yes, I've looked into adoption in the past, but never being in a relationship, it was extremely difficult to have anyone seriously speak to me about it, or give me viable options since I would be a single mother. While I'm extremely sad that I'll never know the joys of motherhood, it warms my heart when I hear such beautiful stories such as this.
I know there’s a plan for you, a great plan for you. I’m sure you’ll be able to live your dream in some way. Maybe a care provider or even something small such as helping out a friend, but I know you have great plans ahead of you!!
@@everykoala2302 thank you so much for your kind words
❤️
I hope you find love elsewhere, even if you weren’t able to find it when you were younger! What advice do you have for us women in our twenties? I like hearing advice from ppl who are older than me!
@@Sara-qw7lc As it happens, I recently became engaged to the best man I've ever known, and we're talking about fostering or even adoption in the next couple of years. I'd given up hope of ever finding anyone to share my life with and I guess the time was right to bring this gift of love. So my advice is just to have fun when you're young! Don't put unnecessary pressure on yourself to meet some kind goal by a certain time. Everything happens for a reason, good or bad, and when the time is right, you'll achieve whatever your heart desires!
How did i JUST find out you have a CZcams channel?! Glad this popped up in my recommendeds!
thank you gen! i personally can’t have kids because of a disorder, so i love hearing people’s stories and learning more about these things!
May god gifts you one ❤❤❤❤ get well soon
I don’t have kids, though it is one of my biggest dreams to someday be a mother, but I’m over here crying at how beautiful and magical this video is! Gen you’re a freaking warrior and I am so glad you’ve really opened up a lot online and are using your platforms to educate, share you life experiences with us, and that you’re so inspiring! Thank you so much
the way you talk about birth makes it sound so magical and beautiful, ily!
I tend not to follow many celebrities on social media, I enjoy watching them in their respective shows and movies but I don’t need to see what they are up to all the time, but with you I don’t know what I would do without your content. I’m always so inspired by your content on CZcams and other forms of media. Even in a video like this one which is only 5 minutes so much information is carefully conveyed and I find that so beautiful. In this video it’s not fast paced or too slow and I still understood the entire message you illustrated. You are an amazing human being, especially for doing home birth like a super mom and understanding other methods of birth that women do. You’re such a dimensional person and I love that about you and your family. I look forward to your future content, keep up the great work!
I love how she was going to say husband and said partner instead
Why?
Cara Sanders because even though she’s talking about women they don’t have to be with a man (husband) so to generalise she said partner as in who ever you’re with
@@natsthew Again, that doesn't change that he is her husband. That doesn't mean your excluding someone by saying that.
Cara Sanders yeah but at that point she wasn’t just talking about herself so she decided to say partner to include everyone
Ashley Webster yes that’s what I meant thanks
Thank you for sharing these stories. And to see your children in your blogs and posts, they came out beautiful and amazing and are so lucky to have you as their mother ❤
You shared your story so beautifully and were so careful to make sure you were not judgmental and your wording was so inclusive, what a beautiful spokesperson you are.
Thank you for not only sharing your story but also trusting us as your fans and subscribers to share such intimate photos in a private personal situation. We love you as a strong authentic woman but also we adore your sweet little family. We wish you all the love and joy in the world
you’ve inspired me through out the show and in life, you’ve made me think a couple of times about sharing a story of my own, nothing similar to this because i don’t have kids, but soon i think i’m going to share a story of my own that might inspire people. Thank you for sharing this Gen. We love you.❤️
Aww Genevieve I love this! I got really emotional. I’m only 22 and I’m not anywhere near ready for kids (even though I do want them) and as terrified as I am of pain (and like you I’m a tiny woman) I’ve been interested for a while about doing a natural birth one day ... Or at least attempting it that is. Hearing stories like this is super encouraging, thanks again! ❤️
Thank you for being so open and willing to share your birth stories. Your experience can make other women more confident in themselves and their physical power.
I had midwives for both of my births, and I wouldn't do it any other way. I really wanted natural births, and they supported me all the way. It's amazing how different the two births were, too. But I felt supported and cared for and encouraged the whole way through. It's an experience like nothing else. Thank you so much for sharing your story and helping normalize what our bodies are made to do, in most cases without intervention (but however it happens is FINE.) My babies are teenagers now, and this made me really miss those sweet early days.
Thanks for sharing Gen. I gave birth in a hospital for both of my boys, but each experience was totally different. I love that we has as many options to bring our babies into the world, and every one should be celebrated!
You’re such a strong and beautiful woman. Thank you for openly sharing your birthing story. You have the most beautiful kids and they’re so lucky to have you as their momma ❤️
It's honestly pretty cool seeing videos like this and hearing people talk about birth and labor in this way. I have so much experience with children and babies and teaching them and looking after them, but for me, there are still so many unknowns surrounding birth that scares me to even think about. This is generally not the kind of thing I'm comfortable asking about, so thank you for sharing your story. :)
I love this! It's scary how in hospitals they really do not humanize the moment. Thanks for sharing Gen! :)
Gen, I love you so much. Thank you for sharing this story with us. I’m unfortunately unable to have children so these stories are bittersweet for me. Keep being the wonderful strong woman that you are. ❤️🤗
This is so amazing! Gen you are amazing! Mom's are amazing & are literal superheroes! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us!
I love hearing about other birthing experiences. I have three myself. Hearing yours made me emotional. Much respect to you! Women are amazing. When I am in pain and feel like something is hard, I always go back to this one thought...I gave birth to three children, this is NOTHING compared to that. I got this. Thank you for sharing. You should definitely do more videos!
Thank you for sharing with us Gen! Thank you for being so open and encouraging towards others. What a beautiful experience :)
Thanks for sharing Gen! You’re a powerhouse. We love you
Moms are awesome, you have this amazing power and strength and it really blows my mind what you can do and what your body can do. Thank you for sharing this extraordinary experience with us Gen, you're too amazing 💛
Gen, thank you for being my life coach. Seriously as a mom, I look up to you. I look forward to your posts, especially now since the Dallas area is stay at home for the covid quarantine. Again, Thank you!
My husband and I are huge fans of both you and your husband! We are just in awe of all the good you do. We have been struggling with infertility for 10 years now. I have 3 diseases and have had many surgeries. We cannot afford IVF at this time but refuse to give up. You are an inspiration to us all the way in TN!!
Thank you for sharing this story with us and even the pictures. ❤️
I cannot have kids, which breaks my heart. I work with kids and that helps a bit. It looks and sounds like you were quite the warrior! Congratulations on your beautiful family. 💛
@anime maker I'm so sorry to hear that! I hope you can prove them wrong, since you have time.
Shannanigans, anime maker, I'm so sorry to read this! However, and as much as I know the question might have already been asked to you several times, have you considered adoption or fostering children?
@@MarinaKaFai I have definitely thought about it. I am single and sick so it would be a challenge, but I hope some day to foster. Thanks for the kind words!
Wow, I respect you so much. Love you and Jared, good people. You did it right and was prepared for anything. God Bless You and your family Genevieve. My oldest of two daughters at the last minute had to do c section and all was well.
I read your intro about how your baby turned 3 in March and your oldest son turned 8 a couple days later and how the birthdays made you feel nostalgic. I can relate. My sons are 31, 29 & 26 now and I get SO nostalgic every year on their birthdays. Time goes by so very fast. Sometimes life with young children is exhausting. Enjoy every second of the ride.
Thank you for being so open to sharing your experience with you're fans 💖🙂
This is actually very interesting and I learned a lot. You were fantastic on supernatural and finding this channel has made me really happy. Sending love to you, Jared, Tom, Shep, and Odette!
Good for you Gen for not judging other’s birthing experiences. Your story was beautiful! I wished I could’ve done mine naturally, I had a similar experience and had no choice but to do a c-section. I darn sure tried to go natural but then my labor became dangerous for my son and I. Most of the time when you have a cesarean birth it makes it difficult to have a natural birth after that. I was hoping I could deliver naturally with my second pregnancy, but my first cesarean caused complications for my second delivery. I really liked this video. You are very relatable and accepting that not all births are the same. I was very comfortable watching this, at “ease” so to say. Thank you for sharing.
That was so beautiful, thank you so much for sharing your experience with us Gen! xx
This was so cool to see! Thank you for sharing! I love you. All of these pictures are so beautiful and amazing. I love the idea of home birth and whenever I do decide to have kids I really want to have one. I really wish home birth was talked about more.
Your narration really imparted a confidence I lacked that I wasn't even aware of. Many thanks for sharing and best wishes to you and your family💗💗
thankyou Gen for bringing light to this
Wow, what a lovely story. Thanks for sharing something so incredibly personal.
A truly incredible and inspiring woman! We love you Gen, you're absolutely beautiful inside and out! 😊💕
Beautiful story. Thanks for sharing your moments with us. Love you. 💗
Thank you for sharing Gen.
Stay safe you and your family ❤
Thank you so much for the closed captions!
thank you for sharing such beautiful stories. thoughts and prayers for you and your family. ♥️
This is beautifully put, Gen. You are a marvelous story teller.
It goes by SO quickly....my baby just turned 13! Seemed like she was just a toddler yesterday. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!💜
You have inspired me so much! I was actually born in Tacoma General so kind of near your kids.
Oh Gen, we love you and all your stories ♥️
I love you Gen and Jared, can't wait to see you on SPN next week!!!!
Hope your babies are having a great birthday. I still remember when you announced you and Jared were going to have them. They grow super fast. My son Jack shares a birthday with Jensen's and Dan's twins. Also super excited for the new episode next week seeing you come back and Dan. Love you guys
Thank you so much for sharing your stories and even some pictures so openly, you are an absolute inspiration to me and so many like me, especially in being a mother and giving birth to and raising my own kids in the future. It's a magical experience for anyone but it was especially magical for you because you ARE magical Gen, just like your beautiful kids and amazingly strong husband. Cannot wait to see you kick ass and bring up old emotions for Sam in the next episode of Supernatural with none other than your bff, the glorious Danneel Ackles as my fav Anael. To quote Sam from your last episode as Ruby, "I've been waiting for this, for a very long time." Let's get this show on the road...
Oh man....so many memories! Homebirth wasn't an option for me but I was able to have a natural birth with my second son and it made me feel like a fucking superhero! I will never forget it. I was in active labor for 12 hours, in hospital for about 6 of those, pushed for less than 20 minutes before my 2nd boy arrived. Thank you for sharing your story with us Gen!
Such a beautiful and personal video, thank you for sharing your story❤️
This is such an honest and raw video, thank you so much for sharing such a personal experience ❤
3:34 such a great picture!
You are one brave woman. and happy one too, to have support from your hubby . We all know what a wonderful and caring man Jared is!
I was alone during my 3 births. The father was present only when we made those kiddos 😂
As a midwife, this makes me really happy to watch 💕
What an icon. You are so honest and caring and uplifting. So inspiring and beautiful. I love you and you deserve the best. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. 💛🌼👑💎💛
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing! Yall make beautiful babies 🥰
Gen is the inspiration we all need
Thanks for sharing such beautiful birthing stories. I was not able to have mine at home either, long labor. We were both healthy and happy by the end though. It really is a marathon though!
This is something I’ve been wanting you to make a blog post about for a while. A video is good too.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
My second was with a midwife and doula, after a traumatic and cold hospital birth. It was life changing and the most beautiful thing I've ever done! And it needs talked about more, because I feel the horror stories are shared more than the beautiful birth stories.
Thank you so much for sharing your story! ❤
Tysm you shared this with us and you were so open about it people watching this will have a great impact ly gen❤️❤️😘
That was a beautiful reflection 😍 Thank you for sharing!!
I wish I would have had this knowledge when I had our oldest. Thank you for sharing.
Love you Gen and Jared! Beautiful couple and family
Life is so beautiful .. thank you for sharing this ❤
Thanks for sharing. Hope you and your family are doing well. Love from Georgia 💕
This is beautiful thank you for sharing your experience.
not even gonna lie...i am 15 years old and i just watched this full video and it made me feel very sure of myself...also you are beautiful and your kids omg i almost cried
It's amazing. You're amazing. Every mother is amazing. I'm so terrified to give birth but men would never understand the fear of the labor pain. I just hope that I could be brave enough to decide to give birth when I get older.
That was beautiful, thank you for sharing that with us!
Hey Gen! Brazil here, we love u so much❤🇧🇷
WE LOVE YOU, GEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your Children Are So Beautiful.
Thank you for sharing I hope everything is doing alright and stay positive
Jared having a fat nap in that one photo lmao. Go dude. Also what an awesome, beautiful video Gen. Being so full of honesty and full of love is such an incredible quality. You go girl!
This was amazing gen and very inspirational
Thank you for sheering your experience in such a honest way with such intimate photos. Not everyone would do this.
I myself would never give birth at home. Its a nice thought but I would be afraid smg goes wrong. In the last time I heard of many stories of labor goes wrong and the woman with their babies nearly died. The woman had to get an immediate c section and loosing many blood. If u are at home, you wouldn't get as fast into hospital. Its always a risk. I don't want make you afraid or worry, its just facts I heard.
Anyway, I am happy you and your family are all healthy and happy. ❤ You are an inspiration.
I'm so proud of you. You are a strong, beautiful, inspiring woman... Truthfully, I don't know if I can do that when I'm older. Also, I love your open opinions because it helps me what I want to do in my life and my friends as well.
Happy Birthday Tom! 🎁🎂🎉
Genevieve really is a sweetest person 😢and got amazing acting skills ❤
Thank you. Due to health concerns and the giant heads of my babies, I had to have 3 c sections. But to this day still see people saying “with c sections you are not really “giving birth”. So thank you for those comments on there is no wrong way of giving birth.
So cool how authentic you talk about that topic :)
She is literally one of my favorite people
I love her so much. She’s such a role model and a wonderful person🖤❤️
OMG!!! How have I not followed this channel before??! I love me some GenPad!!!
Keep doing videos Gen! :D
These photos are so beautiful, it just made me want to give birth at my place 🖤
That was beautiful..i wished i could if had my babies at home..you're a great mom❤❤
