Lolol birth**** not brith 😂 Comment below your experience! Was it it good or bad? What happened that you weren’t expecting? Let’s share our stories and support one another 🧡🧡
I want a prize that I caught that 😂
I had the same "connection experience" with my kids! When my son was born, he was our first child and everything, but he was an emergency C-section. I was so drugged I couldn't even hold him for almost a whole day. My husband was WAAYYY more connected to our son, but when our daughter was born 15 months later I couldn't let any family or anyone else hold her. Somehow I just bonded better with her...the mom guilt over this is VERY present and real! My son is the sweetest, most helpful child I've ever met; he loves me and always wants to spend time with "Mama". I love them both so much, but I had to really work to establish that connection with my son, when it came right away with my daughter.
Mom brain, that’s real too 😜
Allover it was a grear experience. I just wasn't expecting to go from 4 cm to 10 in 1,5 hours. The nurses were also shocked, especially because it was my first pregnancy.
I had a high risk pregnancy and ended up having an emergency c-section. My husband got to hold our daughter for the first hour because I was put under for my c-section. However I would go through it all over again to have my amazing little girl.
Hey Delilah! Maternal child nurse here 👋 the reason your nurses were so adamant about you peeing after birth when you were experiencing post partum hemorrhage is because a full bladder will take up more space and prevent de uterus from contracting back to it’s original size and position, hence the bleeding! Loved the video as always xox
I had a similar experience with my daughter as far as connecting. People talk about it being a magical moment, but it wasn't for me. My iron was so low, so I was mentally out of it. I remember thinking she was cute, but there were no rainbows lol. But that's okay! Mommas will connect with their babies later, even if it's not immediately. It's not anything to worry or stress about. :)
@@MsZoedog66 Yes! I had anemia during and after pregnancy, and I never knew that it could make a person so mentally out of it until I experienced it very badly myself. It is a hard thing to deal with.
Same here. I'd been awake for about 40 hours by the time my son was born. When they put him on me, I kept saying "oh my God" (bc wow I just gave birth) and moaning in pain from them pushing on me to get the placenta out + stitching me up and ignoring me when I told them I could feel them stitching me. The pressure to feel bonded to your baby right after birth is unnecessarily stressful, there's so much going on in that moment.
Hi, can you make a video about the struggles of first time parents. And how the first year with Eloise was? Mental health and all.🧡
Please!!!! Need to know I'm not alone in the struggle
Jenni G ladies, we are not alone. I just gave birth to my baby girl, she’s 6 weeks old. From the get go, I’m not one to ask for help so not knowing what to do and not acknowledging that I need help has made it very difficult for me. But it really does get better and then challenging again but I go back to the fact that difficult times are not permanent and that my baby will not always need me for everything.
I am not a mother or even married.. but I love watching these! :)
same here!
Same, but thanks to her videos I want a husband and babies soooo badly! Unfortunately, I am single, introverted and don't know what to do. 🙄
Same. Fingers crossed my SO and I will get married soon. But for me I watch them because I desperately want to be a mother and these videos help keep my mind off it not “being my time”. If that makes any sense.
Same here lol
Same
My story: at my 38 week appointment, I measured 37 weeks when every time before I measured on track. My stomach was noticeably smaller to me and I was leaking the slightest amount of watery clear fluid once in a while. One morning around 38-39 weeks I woke up on my back and my stomach just looked so small and I could almost see my sons body due to my stomach sinking in around him. So we went to Labor and delivery to get checked. They did a swab for amniotic fluid and it was negative so we got sent home. Fast forward to when I was in labor and my OB went to break my water and there was NO WATER. I should have trusted my gut and I have no idea why they didn’t do an ultrasound to check my fluid levels but i wish I would have requested one. We’re lucky our son survived for 2 weeks without fluid. It caused the cord to wrap around his neck and during labor every contraction made his heart rate drop to 45-50. I was sleep deprived, terrified and so out of it. I barely said one word my whole 9 hour labor and I don’t remember a lot. My epidural was a breeze except it only worked on one side for the most of it. But it didn’t hurt to have it put in. My mind was so set on doing what I had to do to get through it and bring my baby into the world alive. I pushed him out in 5 minutes and he was healthy but his skin was extremely peely for a few weeks due to no fluid in the womb. 2 days after birth I was losing a lot of blood clots so we went to ER. He did a pelvic exam and sent us home. WHY WOULD THEY NOT DO AN ULTRASOUND TO LOOK FOR RETAINED PLACENTA?! 5 weeks after he was born I hemorrhaged and lost a huge chunk of tissue which presumed to be retained placenta. This taught me not to trust the doctors all the time... next time I will know better.
I am so sorry you had to go through this nightmare!! Thank you for sharing. You are an amazingly brave woman!
I am so sorry you had this experience. This is so scary! I am so glad you and your baby are okay.
Omg! So glad you and baby are okay
Where was this? In the states?
That's soooo aggravating and I'm so sorry! Doctors often ignore pregnant women's concerns because "that's pregnancy, everyone's is different, body changes, blah blah blah." The amount of times I forced myself to not curse out my doctor for not taking me seriously.....
YES FOR GIRL TALK🙈💗
I'm not even close to being prego (I'm only 16!), but I am very interested in becoming a midwife or l&d nurse! I find this perspective very thought-provoking!
Omg me too! A lot of people think I’m crazy for having so much interest in this already, but I find this entire field really empowering. Best of luck to you and your future career path:)
@@soph4508 awwww... thank you! you, too!
I think that would be a very rewarding career!
Giving birth next month! I am so excited and as much as I hear about other people's stories, I just take them at face value and don't allow anything to freak myself out. My birth will be my own and just because something happened to someone else doesn't mean that it will happen to me. I will always listen for information and I just find birth so fascinating and interesting, but I continue to keep positive, stress-free thoughts because any worrying or stressing isn't going to help me or baby. Our bodies are made to do this as women, and I am just grateful for the chance to experience it. I am hoping for a natural, unmedicated birth but I'm also keeping my expectations very open and I will take things as they come and make the best decision in the moment. More than anything me and my baby girl are a team and we will do this together. I am so excited to finally meet my girl 💕
That uterus massage and stomach pushing is awful I felt like a ketchup packet! I’m convinced my doc passed my baby right away to me to distract me from everything that was going on down under because it was a mess 😂 and that was my first baby last fall and I’m getting ready to do it all again this fall hahaa.
The ketchup packet is the greatest analogy I have heard 😂 the doctor did the same thing for me & kept telling me to “look at the baby!” to distract me but nothing can from that kind of pain
That's the best analogy. Dude, but its hot, liquidy ketchup. Yea, that was too detailed...
I’m in my first trimester and it feels so good to hear you talk about birth honestly and positively. Thank you for being you!! Love from Lethbridge, AB 💛💛💛
Would Zach do his perspective on how the births went for him? Lexie Thiery recently did one and I loved it. There aren't enough videos out there for men on the man's perspective
Could you do a video about “mom guilt” and how your personal mental health has changed after becoming a mom as well as after your second birth experience? Did you deal with baby blue, postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, or episodes of rage/postpartum anger? Do you have any advice for couples adjusting to being parents for the first time or going from one child to two? I think it would be cool if you and Zach (sorry if I spelled his name wrong) could touch on this and give your advice to other couples!
I never wanted to be a mama, but watching your girl talk videos made me rethink and sort of want to be a mom. It’s inspiring, and I really adore your honesty.
Mine was very traumatic. My son didn't breathe for four minutes at birth and we had to watch him be resuscitated which was harrowing. Thankfully he was okay. For myself, I tore to the 2nd degree and lost too much blood to the point where I needed two blood transfusions. It was a slow recovery and I had complications as well as an infection. I'm just glad to be passed that really hard time now one year later
I've had 2 completely different birthing experiences, first was an emergency c-section with the baby having to go to nicu, second birth was a vaginal one with the baby coming right into my arms and staying with me ever since. It was exactly what I needed to recover from that first birth, it was a healing experience to deliver a baby naturally in a calm environment with nurses and communication and not in some sterile operation room. I always feel guilty for not having felt an instant connection to my firstborn as I have with my second, but it's just what it is.
The only thing I could have done without after the vaginal birth was getting stitches, that was terrible 🙈 also I can't remember getting a uterus massage or any contractions while breastfeeding.. but every birth and every body is different.
Thanks for telling us all about your experiences 💕
Yes, same about stitches! I went through my whole natural birth with no pain killers whatsoever. But for stitches they had to give me two shots of numbing pain killers and gas, and I could still feel everything... It felt like it took hours. Absolutely the worst part of my after birth experience.
@@Owca2512 I feel you ♡ but did it heal well during postpartum?
@@StarsOut27 I am almost 5 month postpartum and the wound is healed but it is not very even which can cause discomfort. I know from other surgeries I have had they it may take even more than a year for a scar to smooth out so I still hope it is gonna get better. I am from Poland and unfortunately a lot (some sources say even 80%) of women have stitches because they get incision 😕
@@Owca2512 oh hey neighbour I'm from Germany!🙋🏼♀️ 80% is quite a lot! I think here in Germany the rate is much lower. I've heard that the healing process is easier if it's not cut. I'm almost 9 months postpartum and it's healed pretty good I think. Hope you'll feel better soon ♡
I hear you on the traumatic experiences. My first birth was a vaginal stillbirth, and second living baby was an an emergency c section.
I am glad you were able to have a successful VBAC!
i love these girltalk videos!!! the honest truth of this stuff is great
Could we get Zach’s thoughts about your labor and delivery experience?
Yesss
Thank you for using this platform to educate women on this topic! There is so much stuff like this that is not discussed but its so important. I plan on having kids one day (like a while since I don't even have a bf lol) and this type of video is helpful. Its so important for me to be prepared and educated.
I love your energy and look on things. Also great content, this is what women wants to hear, real and honest ♥️
these videos are amazing !!! I love how real you are !! We need to hear this more !! Please keep pushing out this honest content !
Love love love girl talk. Although I’m not a mom yet, and don’t plan on being one for a few years, you are by far the most informative, and REAL mom I’ve come across on CZcams. Love you so much. ❤️
I absolutely love this series! Makes everything feel so natural (which it is) and it makes me so happy and ready for what’s to come with my own buba. Thankyou for always being raw and genuine 💓
Yes!! I'm due in September and have wanted to know all about after birth. I feel like no one talks about it. Only the whole birthing process. Thank you so much Delilah! ❤️❤️
Yay! I'm so excited for this video!!!
Thank you for this girly pillow talk!!! It's great that more and more CZcamsrs nowadays talk about what happens after birth and not only during labour. 💪😊
Thank you for your words on breastfeeding right after birth! I love hearing someone advocate for the importance of immediate and on-demand breastfeeding in regards to establishing and maintaining milk supply. 💕
Loved watching this! It always lights me up to see insightful and honest information being shared about birth in such an open way. It's the ENTIRE reason why I started my channel about birth, there just is not enough accessible information out there for birthing people. I love seeing this content mixed in with your motherhood stuff, please keep sharing! xo.
You're so inspiring, because of your honesty, humility and connecting manner
Loved it again
I’m due In October and love that you make such information filled videos on each part of motherhood! I can’t wait to be a mom and love having your channel as an amazing guiding light!
Really enjoy everything you share with us! Thank you!
We just started trying for our first and your videos are helping me feel prepared for the future. You share so much and your videos are incredibly open and informative! Thank you so much for being real with us 💕💕
Just came over from your birth story and wow, thank you so much for sharing this. I'm due any day now with my first baby and I just wish people would share more about everything that happens! So much of my pregnancy has been a mystery till it happens.
I’m due in july (ftm) and I’m living for your videos to keep me level headed. Our birthing class instructor even recommended your videos 🥰
The uterus massages hurt worse for me than actually giving birth. It was the worst pain I have ever felt. I wish I would have known that before giving birth but also thankful I didn’t haha. Ignorance is bliss sometimes :)
Oh gosh I feel so bad for the ugly look I gave the nurse when she did the first massage. However, at least it was just an ugly look, kinda wanted to slap her hand away 🤷♀️
Same with my first...it was horrible! Wasn't that bad with my second thankfully!
You are the best youtuber! I love your channel so much!
Delayed cord clamping is very beneficial. The placenta can contain up to a third of the baby's blood. Delaying allows that blood to go back to baby, providing higher blood volume and stem cells that can help repair any injury which sometimes occurs during the birth process.
I love this! Haven't had a baby yet but I hope to one day! And I love watching videos like these to help me prepare for the possibilities of what can happen, though I'm sure you can never really prepare!
You’re SO AMAZING. Love your honest videos!
I totally relate with your story with the not instant connection after birth. I had that with my first one and I felt so guilty. With my second one I was not expecting to feel that connection instantly and that was much more relaxing. Thank for your honesty ☺️
Love this series!
I love you girl! You're so amazing, keep doing what you're doing 💕
I’ve had two kids and I still love watching your videos like this!
I wish someone had told me about that stomach pushing before I had my baby! 😫
It took me 3 to 4 MONTHS to feel that special connection. I mean I loved my child, but this special overwhelming motherlove came very late for me. It is not unusual and it was scary at the same time. So if anybody of the community feels like that: There is NO shame in your feelings! It will come and it will be the best feeling in the world. I promise you never knew that you are capable of so strong emotions! You are valid! Everything is gonna be alright.
I know a lot mothers and their story's and also watched many videos about birth but many of these facts I never heard before. So thank you so much!
I am due in two weeks with my first baby - a girl! This was super helpful to hear about your birth experiences. It sounds like they are all different and I am excited/nervous to go through mine! I am hoping for an unmedicated vaginal birth, but we will see how it goes!
I know this is really off topic but your hair looks so good! I love that length fringe on you! Honestly you are my hair inspiration lol
Thanks so much for sharing! You have such a comforting way of sharing tough subjects.
A woman’s ability to give birth is something truly special! Not matter how it happens, home birth, hospital, natural, epidural, c-section, doctor, midwife, etc. When I gave birth I loved my OB so it was a positive experience overall. I had to be induced since little man did not want to come out and I wasn’t even close to a 1 at 41 weeks, but I wouldn’t change having an inducement or epidural at all! My husband is an ER doc and has delivered babies before so he assisted and it was awesome! We didn’t find out the gender so hearing my husband yell, “it is a boy” just totally filled my heart. I didn’t get to hold him though for more than a few seconds due to the fact he tested positive for e Coli and has to be IV’d and hooked up right away. We stayed in the hospital with him for ten days for recovery but he pulled through like a champ and is a happy and healthy 6 month old (who never sleeps haha)
I found your channel 3 days ago and I love your videos watched so many already.. thank you
This is a really good description of afterbirth. We had different deliveries and I thankfully didn't hemorrhage, but it still was so similar somehow. I really liked how you described everything.
I had my 1st baby 13 hours before Theo was born. Since this was your second time around you were a lot more knowledgeable on everything baby then I was. It was a lot of fun to indirectly be pregnant pales with you. Your videos helped and are helping me so much with raising my little boy. It just helps to know that I’m not alone in all of this even when our experiences have been very different.
When it comes to my birth story. I honestly can’t remember almost any of the directly after stuff. I have a protection mechanism that my brain does, where it blocks out a lot of the traumatic experiences I have faced. So that mixed with utter exhaustion and loss of blood and everything. I don’t remember a lot. My husband and mom have had to fill me in on the missing details. And listening to your story helped me remember small details as well. 🤗
I didn’t have that instant connection with my baby either. I hardly even remember holding him before they told me to go clean up. It felt like less than 5 minutes. My husband said it was about 15. So I didn’t get the bonding time I wanted. But I did get more after being transferred to my next room. The next morning I just remember nurses and specialist coming one after another to check on things and to ask us questions and inform us on many different things. I was over whelmed for a majority of my hospitality stay. There was calm times when they were not coming in. But during those times I had a hard time relaxing due to trying to remember all that they had asked me. Though I will say there was one question I kept getting asked about. It was some kind of shot to fight against stds I think. Usually given to young women that have multiple partners. I kept telling them I didn’t think I’d need it. Finally after getting fed up with them asking. I said “What do you think HUSBAND?” The nurse mouth “Okay” while slowly backing away. They didn’t ask any more. Lol! In her defense they had different nurses ask me almost every time I was asked. I was just over repeated myself at the time. 👪
thanks for sharing your story!!! Not even married but I love preparing myself for the potential future!🧡
I know this is just one perspective but it’s so reassuring to hear someone else’s experience, especially from Canada as a majority of these videos I find are US based. I’m 27 weeks today and I’m loving pregnancy, but I can’t wait to meet my little baby soon!
Contractions afterwards... definitely painful and annoying after the delivery of my baby girl, and also the uterus massage was a surprise to me as well! Giving Birth is crazy but to think of it as a memory now it was so beautiful to experience ❤️
I had my baby at a birthing center. And it was absolutely incredible! The only thing was I had a hard time delivering the placenta. I was so weak from a fast birth that I just couldn't push it out. They had to give me a shot of pitocin to help my uterus but I eventually got it out! All the while I was loving on my sweet babe! 🥰
Oh my gosh YES, I wish someone had told me about the uterine massage. I had that too, shockingly painful. 😫
I had my first baby in February and it was a pretty traumatic experience. I ended up having an emergency c-section after being in labor for 23 hours and pushing for over 3 of those hours. my baby was rushed to the NICU, thank the Lord he was completely healthy so I was able to see and hold him for the first time soon after but oh man was I completely out of it from all of the pain medication as well as the exhaustion from laboring for so long! My after-birth memories feel kinda fuzzy but I remember just being in awe and amazement when I met my son for the first time I literally gasped “where did you come from?!” lol. I feel you on the massage, that was sooo painful and the cramping while breastfeeding lasted weeks for me! I’m praying for a better birthing experience next time around, my goal is to have an unmedicated vaginal birth like you but in a birthing center. Thanks for sharing your story!
It's funny how different everyone's experience can be. For me the pushing on the stomach was very mild and didn't bother me much at all, but I could hardly walk at ALL for like 2 weeks afterwards! Thank goodness my husband was laid off because he had to get the baby and pass him to me for nursing because I couldn't hold him and stand up / sit down.
I’m so glad you posted this! 😄 I had two home births and now am having a hospital birth so I’m very curious to know what that time is like in a hospital.
I’m due with baby #2 tomorrow, so loving this refresher! Drrrrrreadinggg those uterus massages ☹️
Delilah, could you make a video on how you plan to discipline your children as a christian mother? Especially can you talk about wether you think spanking is right or wrong according to the Bible?
Love youre girl talk videos 😍
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who didn't feel an instant connection with my son. I had a c-section and everything felt so surreal to me. It was only on day 2/3 when they finally left him with me for the night that I felt that connection. I was scared to death and felt so guilty for not 'recognising' (if that makes sense) the little one that I'd been carrying this whole time. It's like meeting a penpal in person for the first time even though you've been chatting for 9 months, it's still new ;D
I was the same with my baby boy I did not feel that instant love and connection, I had heard that this might happened but I still felt bad, luckily the bond grew stronger as the days passed.
I was shocked at the amount of blood that continued to flow out of me after birth! Once I had a bath about 4 hours after birth and a normal meal I felt much more like myself. Still the most amazing experience of my life!
I’ve never wanted to be a mum but this video is really interesting!
I needed this! I'm only 8wks but I'm freaking out!
I'm due with my first July 13th! This was super helpful for me.
this was so good! yone topic that i'm actually super interested about is how sex was after birth. did it feel super different down there? was it painful? thank you for making these! as someone who is very excited to have a child when the time comes, these are so informative.
I love these videos 😍
I love hearing other women’s experience, so thank you so much for sharing! My afterbirth experience, interestingly enough, was good. I don’t remember any pain per say after I delivered my son, only discomfort with certain things. Other than physical exhaustion, I felt really good! My labor was pretty long (23 hours from first real contraction to delivery) so maybe that was a factor?
Thank you so much for this video ♡♡♡
Your videos are awesome!!
Thank you for sharing your stories with us 😀 I’ve only gave birth once and the afterbirth traumatised me i just wasn’t expecting any of it! I was getting sick from the shakes afterwards and My nurses kept trying to get me to pee too and I couldn’t pee they gave me a few hours and I ended up having to get a catheter put in fairly roughly by a not so friendly nurse.. I was so upset it made it difficult to do anything with my baby.. they left it in me for four days so I was in hospital a lot longer than I imagined I would be.. the baby blues hit hard in there and it was a lonely time.. my baby kept me strong though and the connection was and is so huge ❤️
Hi new to watching, have four and praying fore number 5 every labor and delivery was different as my children my 1st came out not breathing and swallowed fluids spent 5 days in nicu 3rd I bleed alot and received shots in my legs to stop the bleeding but I am bleessed to have 4 beautiful healthy girls
Love your vids 💜
So amazing and crazy how each pregnancy, labor and after birth can be so different. I'm currently 26w with my second hoping to be able to enjoy the afterbirth more!
My daughter had a little difficulties coming out and had to go to the NICU. Looking back it obviously could have been much worse but at the time it was really scary and everything was quite a blur.
I think the worst part is definitely the massage along with trying to move from bed to wheelchair with legs that are dead from the epidural. 😅
Thank you for this!! I am pregnant with #2 but I had an emergency c-section with my first. I am hoping for a vbac this time and I was VERY uneducated on everything birth related last time because I didn't want to scare myself. I knew almost everything about babies but little about birth. But this time around, I want to be as prepared as possible! I didn't even take a birthing class last time but I definitely will be this time! Even if it is a virtual one with all this going on 😅
I hemorrhaged after both of my births and had to be put under in the OR for stitches both times. I definitely was not prepared for all of the blood loss. I even had to have a blood transfusion the first birth. Even with all of that going on, I still remember my births as absolutely magical.
Have never been pregnant and no plans to get pregnant anytime soon, but I watch every. single. one. of these videos (and all your others, who am I kidding?!🤷♀️)
i am almost 25 now and we're planning to marry and have children in the next years. who knows what will happen.. but i love to hear as many different stories as i can so i will hopefully not be scared :) love from germany
Hi Delilah! Thanks for the topic. I would be sooo thankful to know all of things to expect after birth. Hope it will help others;) They do uterus massage first 24 hours after birth (it was done like 4-5 times), next day ultrsound (Russia).
Unfortunatelly, my birth story wasn't a bright experience...I guess it's hard to be ready for everything that could happen during this important and quite difficult process. Hugs to your side!
What an awsome video !
My husband and I were going to start trying in March. I had been on prenatals for 3 months...then with covid we thought it best to wait. It's hard to wait! I will be 34 in a few months and clock is ticking. I love your videos Delilah! I can live vicariously through your stories! Love the nitty gritty stuff. I would rather know everything even if it's a bit scary and gross lol.
Same for us! It's very hard but a good time to cut down on my 5 cups of coffee a day 😳☕ Good luck :)
Love watching videos on this topic even though I am not a mama but hope to be one day ☺️
I’m really glad you’re making these girl talk videos. I’ll be much more mentally prepared when the time comes for me to give birth. But that’s not anytime soon lol (I’m still junior in hs)😂. Still absolutely love your videos💓
I had severe (temporary thankfully) nerve damage that I didn't expect! I couldn't lift my right foot and my left leg was numb. So many extra doctors in my room constantly because of that.
Never had personal experience but I did fundal massage in nursing school while in L&D rotation. I’m in the USA.
♡♡♡♡♡ perfekt timing
You talking about the massage and me remembering my massage and the PAAAAIIIIINNNNN oh my it was so hard but I’m glad they did it anyway because I remember a lot of blood coming out. And also I remember almost pushing the nurse away lol 😂 I said sorry so much after that
loved this :)
They do the stomach pushing in Australia too! I remember it was such an uncomfortable feeling and they did it a few times to see if anything else needed to be “squished out”. 🤭 P.S. I love hearing birth/post birth experiences! Even 8 months after having a baby 🤩
I researched so much before giving birth about what to expect and the only thing I was surprised by was the shakes! Nobody ever mentioned getting the uncontrollable shakes after birth.
Yay... She answered my question 😊
thank u for this video !
Within the first 5 hours after having my daughter, we were on the road and back home an hour and 45mins away and asleep in our own bed after a 26 hour labor! 😅Gotta love a birth center birth!🙌🏻
I had a 3 hours of pushing followed by a CS for my first baby, second baby spontaneous labor and a failed VBAC, then thirs baby went into labor a week before my scheduled CS and labored for a few hours while waiting for the CS. None of the births went as planned really or what i would have imagined. My kids were all turned posterior and wouldn't descend were the issue. My c sections were tough. I think many moms aren't prepared for the possibility of a c section when they give birth and are blindsighted by it, i know i was. Every c section i had issues getting the spinal placed and getting pain under control, llq blood pressure, etc. Honestly not good memories associated with any of my 3 births. I've always felt that my body just wasn't made to birth children the way some other woman can. But i am glad my children are all healthy.
OH. MY. GOSH. The uterus massage. I had NO idea either. The first time the nurse pushed on my stomach to do that, everything gushed out BUT ALSO there was queefing and I was like what the heck just happened?! I had an epidural so I looked at my husband thinking he farted and when I realized it was me, I burst into laughter and couldn’t stop and even made the nurse start laughing too 🤣
