Sara, I think this is malpractice. A missed diagnosis of staph infection (the system sepsis of staph must have a source) led to that unnecessary laparoscopic operation. The abdominal procedure induced your pre-term labour. The doctors and nurses were not ready/prepared for your labour. All there could have been avoided.
Yes, seriously talk to an attorney about this
She never said the staph was missed? Yeah it’s weird the monitors were not picking up the labor contractions… it’s great the doctor that came in was able to safely deliver the baby.
This could affect future births with her cervix being cut. What state? In CA, you can barely sue for anything unless you die or lose a limb. Malpractice attorneys barely exist- only for the most egregious of cases.
The blood culture didn’t come back positive until the day AFTER surgery. They knew she had an infection but the only apparent source they found at the time were symptoms of appendicitis. They talked through the alternatives with her before surgery, so obviously they weren’t sure of appendicitis (if they were sure they wouldn’t give CT as an alternative).
However, what happened after they got the blood culture back, and especially the fact that they missed her being in labour (!!) (and didn’t even check her) sounds like something just Was not done right…
i think at the very least the hospital should be doing an internal inquiry into her case, to see where the mistakes were made and how the situation could have been avoided.
As a labor and delivery nurse, I always tell my patients “I trust you and your body more than any monitor” and I’m sorry your nurse didn’t advocate for you! I hope you can heal from this traumatic experience and bond with your daughter ❤
Thank you for this!! My nurse checked me and I was 4cm she walked out of the room after placing me on my left side and 15 mins later I pushed the call light. When she came in I told her I NEED to push!! Actually my body was pushing on it’s on. She looked at me like I was crazy and said “there’s no way! I just checked you?!” I had to please ask her to. Sure enough I was 10cm and +2!!
I had a crazy birth story stuck in rural Alaska with no one to give me a c-section when I needed one. After 4 days of misery 5ft me gave birth to a 19lb almost 24in baby boy BUT this makes my story look easy!
I am so sorry that so many failed you. ❤ That's alot of trauma than can really take a toll on us. Please consider some trauma therapy.❤
I had 2 more babies 1 was 2 hours of labor the 2nd was 15 minutes of labor born at home. My very first contraction on the 15min labor I felt the urge to push.
This is the toughest birth story I have ever heard. Thank you for your braveness in sharing so happy to see you all home together.❤❤❤
My theory for my additional 2 super easy births is everything got so stretched put on my first birth, they just literally fell out😉
As a former L&D nurse, I agree 100% and did the same. Women KNOW what feels right and normal and what is not ❤❤❤
I was a labor and delivery nurse for 36 years and I am absolutely appalled at the way you were treated. I cannot imagine seeing a woman who is clearly laboring and looking at the monitor and saying “you’re not contracting.”.
You were treated terribly. By people who have no business being around laboring women.
Correct. That's the worst thing. At one point she said she was having contractions 4 minutes apart??? A nurse can stand there for 4 minutes and feel the contractions with her hands. How do you miss it because you're telling me a machine is telling her she's wrong?!? Crazy
Unfortunately, I’ve seen this as a doula several times. I’ve had to call patient advocate, nurse manager, etc. Because nobody was listening to the mother…. Only the monitor
NOT EVERY MUM WANTS TO BREASTFEED! and guess what, THATS OK!!!!!
Happened to me with my first. I was urgently telling the nurse I needed to push and she literally told me I was not ready to push and I was only 5 cms. The monitor wasn't picking up my contractions and instead of believing me she relied on what the monitor was showing. I was like yeah this is my first experience but my body is telling me to push, lady. Sheesh
@@itsdanielleslifewhy are you screaming at me? I said nothing about breastfeeding.
I'm in tears. They almost killed this woman and her baby. I can't imagine how hard her postpartum recovery has been. God bless her, her baby, and her family.
And they wonder why health insurance is expensive.
Without the medical team's intervention, Mom very likely would have died from infection before baby was born.
@@KayoEll Roger that...
For real.......
53 minutes of you telling us about how you are a real life super hero. So glad baby is healthy and you are getting back to your normal self!
I was born at 29 weeks 40 years ago. My mother had a heart attack and her lungs filled with fluid while trying to keep me inside of her. For 2 weeks, she gasped for every breath. She was always my biggest warrior. I lost her in 2021 to Alzheimer's. I will always be grateful for her and how much she loved and fought for my life. Your daughter will feel the same way about you. God bless you and your family.
❤
Oh lord - I was already feeling emotional watching this video, but your comment has opened the floodgates! Your mum really was a warrior 🩷
@@obiwann785 Thank you! I miss her dearly.
❤❤
@chancethetechie you are a miracle baby and she is a hero 💜
People become so reliant on tech that they don't use their common sense. Thanks grandma for getting her the help she OBVIOUSLY needed.
I have heard hundreds if not thousands of birth stories and i have never been more upset than i am having heard this. I cannot believe the absolute disgusting neglect from that hospital. Just. Wow.
Exactly. Where was this??
Birth is so wild. - We've had two planned C-Sections - I think its awesome you shared your story! I'm glad all three of you are doing good!
This is Sara's and John's story - don't make it about you.
@@sdcraigHe’s just wishing them well and sharing a little about his life……,Why don’t you stop accusing someone of something that obviously isn’t his intentions😑You have no idea so go fuck off
@@sdcraig bruh
@@sdcraig what is your problem in Jerry sharing his story.. ? Be kind and share positivity dude...😊
@@sdcraigremember the part in the video when she said she appreciates hearing other people's stories. Knowing that others went through this (or similar) and seeing everything work out?
That doctor and nurse almost killed you. I'm so sorry you went through all that Sara
I thought the same thing and I bet when they send the ridiculous medical bill the hospital will make no mistakes because the US Healthcare system is crazy and expensive
The amount of healthcare professionals who only treat or diagnose solely based on straight data from tests is quite large. It really shows how naive the healthcare system has become. It's unfortunate that wisdom is exiting healthcare in times where its needed most. I'm sorry you had to go through that, it's definitely not a situation that had to escalate like that.
@@joshwfliesSo your suggestion is that we just ignore the tests and diagnostics and do what exactly? That data has saved FAR more lives that have ever been lost because of it.
@@Blake_the_Drake unfortunately you missed the point of the comment. The point was that there are far too many physicians that ONLY rely on raw data. The data is meant to help lead to a diagnosis not fully spell it out. Let me ask you this. If a person presets to the ED with symptoms of a kidney stone, but blood tests don’t suggest a kidney stone. Does the doctor rule out a kidney stone? I would hope not, I would hope the doctor does a little more due diligence and order a CT scan that would most likely reveal a kidney stone. You see raw data is helpful but does not paint the entire picture. A wise doctor would not only take the raw data into consideration but would also investigate further to ensure their hypothesis is correct. Especially if both the mother’s and child’s health is at risk. I urge you to reevaluate both comments and go back and listen the details Sara told. It paints a different picture than what you are trying to argue.
@@Blake_the_Drake Data is a *tool*. Good medical care interprets data, it does not defer to data. Please don't use black and white thinking. From the patient's perspective, her experience was denied, nothing was explained, and she was dismissed out of hand because they mishandled the situation by entirely ignoring what was happening right in front of them. The second doctor took in ALL the information - not just the machine, but what he could see with his own eyes and physical examination. Doctors aren't gods. They. make mistakes. I want the ones who can see in 360 degrees, look at everything and most of all LISTEN acutely to the person they are treating. Thank heavens the second medical team did.
They should make this video required study material for maternity doctors and nurses. So much patient and family perspective and insight. Tq for sharing.
someone who needs to watch this video should not be a medical professional.
@@misseselise3864if more potential medical practitioners watched videos like this, these horrible situations wouldn’t happen as often. It wouldn’t stop the ones with a god complex and an ego that could outweigh a black hole, but at least maybe some would learn
Goodness gracious, this is the most horrific birth story I've ever heard. You should have never had to go through what you did at the hands of that arrogantly reckless nurse and that unbelievably incompetent doctor. The level of negligence is just beyond horrifying, and I'm so sorry that you all had to go through that. I sincerely hope that they were both properly dealt with - as nobody should ever have to go through what you had to. I wouldn't be surprised if you are dealing with some PTSD in the aftermath of all that. You are certainly a warrior and your baby girl is beyond precious. Sending you all so much love, thank you for sharing your incredible story.
I was diagnosed with what is called post-natal ptsd after having a traumatic birth. Watch your mental health and I hope you get the resources and support you need, if you need it. Here’s to warrior mamas. ❤
No part of that ever sounded silly.
I sounded real and traumatic.
I now understand why people often call mothers warriors, you absolutely deserve that title.
Wishing all the best to you and your family, your mom and husband gave their all and did amazing by the sounds of it.
I wish I could give more, but I just want to show support in a way that's more than a thumbs up and comment. Thank you for sharing your story. I wish you and yours the best.
This is so kind wow!
This is amazing ❤
What the heck you did not have to do this. Thank you 🧡 many baby clothes will be purchased haha appreciate you
You are such a human being ❤
What an incredible gift... Hope you are blessed tenfold in return
Absolutely insane. A “congrats” doesn’t feel appropriate for surviving a near-death experience. Your little Baby Peach is so lucky to have you and your family.
You are not the 0.001% women are ignored, gaslit, and disregarded by health care professionals every minute of every day. The circumstances and outcomes are unique to you and your situation but it is happening all the time. Thank you and your Mum for being a voice for those not being heard.
As a man, nothing has ever made respect a woman more. I cried twice during this, I am glad baby Peach is doing great! I am gonna call my mom and tell her thank you for bringing me into this world. Thanks Sara! and John! What a GREAT man!
Co-sign this.
Well said!!
❤❤❤❤❤
As a L&D nurse, I’m so very sorry you experienced that kind of disregard. My heart goes out to you, and I applaud the bravery of you, your mom and your husband ❤
I was born at 25 weeks, weighing 1 lb 12 oz. I am now almost 29 years old and I work as a pediatric occupational therapist, living a healthy and wonderfully fulfilling life. Like my mom.. you are a superhero. Your daughter is a fighter; small but mighty. Wishing you and your family a lifetime of transformational growth and peace
Man I’d sue the heck out of those doctors/nurses that messed up 😢 their negligence put you through unnecessary pain
This… everything could have been prevented
No, that's not the answer. As someone that works in medicine, you go with the presentation that is in front of you. Things change instantly. What doc 1 saw may have been 1000% different than what doc 2 saw.
This is the problem, every little thing is "sue! sue! sue!", and then people wonder why there is critically low staffing levels at the hospital, that nurses and doctors are leaving the field of bedside care in droves. Medicine is a science, nothing is exact.
I had a very similar experience at 27 weeks. My baby was stillborn, but they didn't know that, I kept being sent home and ended up having an unmedicated Vag birth on a remote military base where I was the only woman in the room and the transition stag - where the feet first emerged, lasted 5 hours. I had the need to recount my story in detail for a long time afterwards. 5 years later, I had a C-section for a breach, and another 5 years later, a V-back at Home. Both kids are now in their 30s and turned out wonderful! But when your video started I had major flash backs to that experience and understand your need to share your experience. Enjoy your baby and many well wishes for your future!
I am so sorry for your loss. My wife and I had a stillborn daughter 22 years ago. Honestly? I still cry over it. It was a very difficult experience. Glad you (like us) were able to have more.
Sorry for your loss ....
Former lab tech at a Children's hospital. So, so, so incredibly proud of you and your husband and mom for keeping you and your baby safe. Sepsis is totally not cool, especially during pregnancy. So glad for Jeannie and her standing up for you in your pain, and for John and his calm with you when you needed it most. My daughter was born a few weeks early, and a high bilirubin and a few days under some UV lights pales in comparison to your ordeal.
Thank you so, so, so, so much for the courage to share with everyone. You could have played it off as a simple thing, and you really gave everyone the real you. Didn't expect to be cutting onions for the past hour, but it is totally worth it. Hopefully others will be able to stand up for themselves in similar circumstances.
I cannot convey how proud I am of you and how much I hope this helps other mothers in the future. You are amazing.
I am your mom’s age so experiencing this thru her point of view just ripped my heart out. So grateful the stupid doctor went on break and Dr. M came in and had the knowledge to know how to get baby peach delivered safely. May you continue to heal and enjoy the simple quiet moments and baby naps. Much love to you all. ❤
Hi Sara. I am a Student Registered Nurse with an interest in Midwifery from Australia. First of all, I want to thank you so very much for sharing your story. You are so incredibly strong and I am so glad you and your family are well. But second, I am SO incredibly sorry you had to go through this. So much of what you went through is textbook 101 do NOT put a patient through this. I am so very hopeful that you are able to heal from this experience. Thank you for sharing this story to educate myself and others on what not to put a mother through. All my love to you and yours.
So relieved that you and the baby are okay. That being said, you need to sue the shit out of the Dr and nurse for their complete incompetence.
100%
I was watching and thinking the exact same thing... I can't believe that americans have to pay a HUGE amount of money for that shitty treatment
A CZcams comment seems so inadequate to express all of the impact emotionally this video packs. I am just so relieved you are alive, with your new child, and are here to tell the story in the amazing way you always do, Sara. Rock on.
I'm a medical student, and I am so happy you had advocates around you. Thank God for your mom and husband. This is really traumatic, and I hope you are getting the mental health support you deserve. Take all the time you need to process. My heart and prayers for your peace are with you.
As soon as you said John was your calm, and you started to tear up, is when your story sent me on an emotional rollercoaster.
I can't even imagine the pain and fear you went through. It seems silly to compare, or think ones labor is worse or better that another's, because we all deserve to feel validated for what we experience during L&D. I thought my daughter's pregnancy and labor were crazy, but this really is so terrifying. For months, women imagine how their birth stories will go and hoping it will play out how we would want it to go.
I would say this teeters on medical neglect and could (and should) be seen through legally. Not just for your sake, but for future women that will be treated by those specific providers. We live in a country that should offer better medical care and coverage, and to not put us in mountains of debt, but that's not the case for so many people.
Thanks for sharing this really personal story with us. I've cried multiple times during this video. Congratulations to you and John and your entire family!🥲
I think we all can agree that you’re such a tough woman. I’m sorry for the poor care that you received, but I’m glad that the pain is now over. Congratulations on the baby and again, you’re such a strong person Sara!
I was born at 23 weeks.4 months early way back in 1992 I still can’t believe how far technology and the things doctors can do to help babies that come to early. Sending you all my love and support momma.
Wow that sounds so horrific, i am so glad everyone is ok, and i sincerely hope the medical professionals that dropped the ball are held accountable
You are so strong!! Being a mom is the most transformative thing and you’ve already taken it on with so much grace. We are rooting for y’all!
This is so scary. 😰 Thank God for John and Jeannie. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 As someone who had an unmedicated C Section, you are probably experiencing PTSD. Get some therapy. It will help you address this trauma. 🙏🏽 Sending you, John, Jeannie, your beautiful daughter & family tons of love. Welcome, Penelope Cruz. 💕💕💕💕💕💕
Congratulations first hand. Second, it’s good you share your story. I am a father of a NICU survivor. My wife also died twice after birth. I believe the doctors were negligent. Hard to prove. But, I have both miracles with me due to the grace of God. Bless you and your “new” little family.
Me realizing that you're announcement video was just 4 months ago and being extremely worried about the health of the baby. All life is so fragile. Very happy for you all!
28+2 NICU Mama!! Three years later we’re still thriving. NICU babies are a different breed! Congratulations.
You're so strong :) The cut to you holding baby at 15:15 made me start crying happy tears.
I am 25 weeks and 1 day pregnant. I can’t even imagine going through what you went through. You are so strong girl. Literally I wait for every week to pass and feel a little relief.
Sarah I’m so sorry for what you went through. As someone that also experienced a traumatic birth experience you’re a true fighter, when you say so much pain, I know it’s an ungodly otherworldly pain akin to torture, if someone has given me a gun I would have ended it all so to hear you just want to survive, you are a true fighter in every sense of the word. It’s now two and a half years since that birth experience and I’m only just moving past what I went through. Take time, find someone to talk to, I booked a consultation with the surgeon that did my emergency c section which really helped me to understand what happened to me. The surgeon also recommended that I have a planned c section next time so I don’t have to relive what happened, this might also be a good solution for you too. Wishing you peace and love xxx
Honestly this is one of the most horrific stories I’ve ever heard. But thank you for sharing so openly. People need to talk about this stuff. I am so glad you’re both recovering from this ordeal. You are a real survivor. ❤
Women are constantly gaslit. I know this as a woman and a mom. My son was born with a hearing impairment and it took 3 years to be diagnosed. I could say more but I'll leave it at that. I still feel guilty for this. I take him to the doctor now maybe too many times but I don't regret that.
.You endured so much Sara. You're so strong. I'm glad you and baby are okay
Women are simply incredible, this was traumatising to watch, I cant imagine what it was like to live through. Delighted you and baby are well. Much respect to you.
Sara, I'm so glad you and Baby Peach are ok. You're such a warrior - both through this journey and for sharing it. Thank you. Can't wait to cheer for you and Baby Peach every step of what's ahead ❤
I’m truly sorry for the very poor care you received towards the end of delivery……. The only bright points are your amazing daughter, John and Jeannie…. Hopefully now you’re back posting we can all help you emotionally through the next amazing journey in your life… As a father of 6 i can say life is so much more complete with them in my life… Congratulations, Mum, Dad and Super Gran Jeannie ❤❤❤
One of the most important things any woman can have during a birth is strong advocates separate from medical staff.
Thankfully, Sara had two amazing advocates in her corner when she needed them the most, and everyone has turned out ok in the end
Couldn't agree more about the importance of advocates. 10000% percent. I hope anyone who has to go through ANYthing medical, will pay attention and find at least one advocate.
Also million percent agreed. Mum would have died - on two occasions - but me and my uncle always pushed the doctors and nurses to check up or get support. I wonder how many people who died in hospital would still be here if they had external support whilst they were unconcious or vulnerable.
It’s just so depressing the state of the medical field. Too many nurses and doctors dismiss patients and their pain.
I do strongly believe so many people die/get worse due to negligence and lack of compassion.
Imagine, if one did not have your support group. I am so damn proud of your mom fighting for you and advocating for you.
You’re so incredibly brave. And I am so sorry this happened to you.
My brother almost died in the hospital when he was around 14/15.
And it was finally one Indian doctor that came in, who was literally like : “what the fuck is going on here, get this boy in emergency surgery NOW”
I also believe strongly during the height of COVID when visitors were not allowed, more people died because of that.
No body had any advocate!! Just a cold white room with most nurses and doctors not caring.
I unfortunately don’t trust the medical field whatsoever anymore.
But so glad your baby girl is healthy. ❤❤
The doctor cut your cervix while you were unmedicated and conscious? You're legit a badass. I don't have a cervix, but I feel like that amount of pain would have sent me into shock or made me pass out. I'm glad you're all at home and doing well now.
I had PTSD after IUD insertion - I nearly passed out… I just can’t believe they cut her cervix unmediated and she stayed kind of conscious… This is unbelievable…
This absolutely sounds like medical abuse and malpractice.
@@powderandpaint14 i know they were trying to get baby out to avoid the unspeakable, but this is 2024. anesthesia could do rsi, even an opiate, propofol, at that point, id think they'd be able o get baby out quick enough without causing respiratory depression, maybe she would have only had to feel one cut of the two. i am so sorry, Mama. you are a cosmic badass. never forget it!
Medical Gaslight: I remember when my appendix was causing me severe pain, the people did not believe me. My appendix could have been saved with treatment. But it had to rupture before people took my extreme pain seriously. I was almost deleted earlier than it had to be. I made a life changing decision at that point. I'm glad I did. Your story about the doctors reminded me of that.
I cried so much watching this. Nobody deserves to go through this, but you specifically are such a sweet person that it hurts a thousand times more to hear the story.
Even though motherhood can be wonderful, the idea of anything happening to your baby becomes your worst nightmare from the day you get pregnant and for the rest of your life. I can only imagine the fear you felt, and also how your own mother felt. I am so glad everything turned out well.
You are incredibly strong Sara, and you deserve nothing but the best. If heaven is real then you must have a golden ticket after going through this. I hope you are enjoying your baby and I send all my love to you and your family ❤.
From someone who works in the Hospital setting, Im so sorry to hear that had happened to you, especially the part about the nurse dismissing your pain. As healthcare workers, we are trained to advocate for our patients. But i am glad you are doing better.
Our son was born at 28 weeks 4 days at 2 lbs 11 oz and was in the NICU for 83 days. One night, my wife had unusual pain in the middle of the night and was spotting. We went to emergency immediately and they said that we weren't going home until our son was born. They gave steroids to help his lungs develop enough to be born and he was born 2 days later. The doctors suspected that it was an infection of the fluid and a detached placenta. The nurses and doctors at the NICU were the absolute best and helped us through the entire process including teaching us how to feed through a tube and all the usual parental things. Those 83 days were the most stressful and we were in survival mode just doing and not thinking. We were still in survival mode for the first year and we had to have some therapy to help us resolve all of the feelings we suppressed during that time. You are a strong person, it's NOT your fault and we were surprised to find out it was more common than we thought. Our son is now 5 years old, so smart, so big and other than having Asthma and an attitude. Thank you for sharing your story.
this is THE most traumatic story i have ever heard. i’m sooooo glad you are all okay… i was expecting more tragedy because after a while i kept thinking no way this story could get any worse and then it would get worse.
but anyways i am absolutely amazed by what the human body and mind can take … im also soo sorry you all went through this.. this video kept making me cry like a baby ..
💜💜💜💜 bless you all
Baby Peach is perfect and Momma Peach is a true warrior!
So happy to see her home and healthy with you all.
Sepsis nearly killed my ex. The ER doctor said if we waited another hour, she'd of been in shock and probably not of made it through. All caused by a terrible pneumonia, that every one keep diagnosing as asthma for 6 months. I am very happy you survived pregnancy. People severely underestimate how dangerous pregnancy can be. Happy you took action as soon as you could!
Sepsis killed my grandma. 😭
@@PassionPno May you find peace with your loss soon.
@@PassionPno Was it from a UTI? That's very common in older women.
@@xavthomas Nope, she got both dengue and chikungunya at the same time.
My wife and I had a similar experience with a doctor that didn't know what was going on. My son was basically born dead and had to be revived but it was very touch and go for what seemed like an eternity. The entire experience was surreal but fortunately turned out fine. He's 25 now and I still look at him as a miracle.
I am grateful that you have made it through Sara. I know how hard this had to be for you and your family but I am grateful it all turned out alright. You are amazing for sharing your story.
Everyone’s story is so dramatic I don’t know how we have any humans! How do babies in war zones and in past centuries ever get born
@@kaylee3964 Sadly. But these stories also highlight a level of resilience as well. Which, if one must go through it, taking away something that can teach you something is in itself valuable. My son taught me he's a fighter. 25 years later. He's that and then some and continues to expire me.
For me, experiencing what I did alone with my son (my wife was unable to see him for 24 hours due to emergency surgery), I realize how small I am in the grand scheme of things and, of course, just how life can, and will, throw curve balls your way and you can't always control the outcomes. I did a lot of praying by his little NICU incubator. I talked to him constantly and remember somehow magically watching this pale, sickly little dude somehow come into this awesome shade of pink. I know he couldn't see me, and I could not hold him other than through the little apparatus with a rubber glove, but I swear he stared right at me, squeezed my finger with his little hand, and conveyed, "Dude, I'm not going anywhere."
That level of perseverance and commitment inspires me on the daily to want to be a better man.
My daughter's birth was extremely traumatizing. The way you choked up just thinking about talking about it, I understand that feeling. Having chunks of your memory missing, I understand. Having your mom and partner there recounting their experience, I understand. Having them talk about hearing you scream, I understand. What helped me the most was to process the birth and postpartum period with a therapist using EMDR.
Having so many similarities, I feel confident telling you that your body remembers the trauma even though you don't necessarily remember. Those feelings during your labor and birth will come up at unexpected times. Sometimes, I'd smell something and be weeping not knowing what was happening to me. I also had nightmares. They wouldn't always make sense, but I'd wake up screaming. I had very strong emotions when the doctor was brought up. I'm so very grateful for your family and how they're supporting you. My family were told not to talk about it. I was having PTSD symptoms, thinking I was going crazy with nobody to talk to. I'd hear screaming out of nowhere. My sister told me years later that she could hear me screaming in the parking lot. My body remembered my screams even though I couldn't.
Anyway, please consider having intensive therapy like EMDR. Please keep talking about your experience. Please have your family to keep listening. Please know, what you went through was horrible, but you are not! Therapy was the only thing that helped me with lasting healing and peace of mind. Also, please know how very strong, brave, and victorious you are! Many new mamas don't make it out but we did. You made it out! Please kiss your sweet baby for me. You've got this!
Dad of three here. Been following you for a long, long time. So proud of you and yours - thank you for sharing. We’re all cheering you on!
I have not felt so many emotions in one video before in my life. I am so sorry this happened and I am so happy that you and your baby are doing well.
I watched this video the other day. Then, rewatched it with my gf today who is a Doula because I was so curious to hear her perspective. We were both mad and in tears at the way everything went down. But, we give God all of the praise for getting you guys through this. You are so strong and I thank you for having the incredible bravery to share your story. I’ve been following you and John for a while now and I love you guys and may God continue to bless you guys and baby Peach.
god i'm so glad both you and baby survived and recovered, this has to be one of the scariest stories i've ever heard in my life. and to think the careless OB and nurses that were "treating" you that night face zero consequences for causing you to unnecessarily go through this experience. they could've given you a C-section long before the birth canal entrance with pain meds but they just ignored your contractions. unconscionable.
I just reminded my wife the other day that we had not seen any videos or updates from you in a long time. We were concerned but we are so glad that you and Baby Peach are doing well. We hope and pray that you continue to heal physically and emotionally. Most of all for Baby Peach continued health and growth. We were blessed with a premature child who had to spend a long time in NICU. That was 29 years ago. Now our preemie is 6’2” and has two wonderful children of his own. God bless.
I have always been moved by your willingness to experiment and keep coming back. Thank you for everything.
I'm literally crying, so sorry you had to go through such a traumatic birth. So glad to hear baby peach and you are doing well now. Whishing you the best 💗
I’m so sorry for the medical trauma you experienced. Your daughter will know one day how much you fought for her-and fought to stay. Wishing you the best in your recovery and getting to know your little baby ❤️🩹
As absurd as this will sound, this is probably my favorite video of yours and I've been around since your first mice-filled NYC apartment. It was just so real and honest. So happy for you. And sorry that things had to happen that particular way.
Sara this video left me in tears. I wanted to leave a message even though I have no idea what to write. I hope this leaves you stronger and wiser. You and your family are amazing...thanks for sharing this very hard and personal story.
I feel all of this. My birthing experience was also traumatic. 36 hours in labor, emergency C-Section, 2 weeks in the NICU, birth diagnosis of Down syndrome and the worries of all the complications with that. I will never have another kid naturally. I couldn't do that again. I'm glad my daughter is here and safe because it could have gone so badly. I hope things slow down and go smoothly for you from this point. *hugs*
Aww, she's amazing. I'm so glad that after this whole horrible traumatic ordeal, you at least have a living, breathing little daughter. My mom spoke to her therapist about when I was born, 30 years after it happened. These things can have a lasting impact. I hope you have the help you deserve to talk it all through.
Wow Sara! This is an absolutely insane story. I love the way you interviewed John and your mom and integrated them into the story. ❤ You both are so strong and depsite all the trauma you went through you're still finding the humor and joy in it all!
I’m so sorry, Sara. I was in tears most of this video. You are such a strong woman to go through this. Im glad you have such beautiful and supportive people in your family. I’m praying for healing for your whole family.
I cannot fathom the depths of pain you must have felt. I'm lying here recovering from an operation and thought I was going through hell week, but here you are surviving after such an ordeal. You are just as much a miracle as your baby.
SO many emotions watching this Sara! I'm in awe of your strength throughout this whole journey ❤ Many tears of joy seeing baby girl safe and home! She's going to look back at this one day and know her momma is a true hero. Both of you are already the best parents, sending all the love!!
This must have been so difficult. Glad you had your family to support you and glad everything worked out Sara
I am uncontrollably crying right now, I can’t believe what you went through, I’m so glad you and baby girl are ok now ❤ we don’t know each other but I feel incredibly proud of you 🥺
Your told your story with such vulnerability and grace. I am so sorry you were ignored by medical professionals and experienced such a traumatic birth, but I am so happy that you and your family are doing so well now.
Omg. I’m so happy you made it through. And your baby peach is beautiful.
I do hope you’re able to sue that hospital for negligence. I’m as mad as your mom. Thank God she was there.
Sitting here sobbing (I don’t even have kids), sending you both the best wishes for a speedy recovery both physically and emotionally. Your little one is too precious and I’m glad she’s doing well. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
Sara you gave birth a week after me (38 weeks), and I have to say that you’re an absolute WARRIOR! I’m so sorry you had to go through all of that, but am so happy you’re on the other side now. The way you handled everything is seriously mind blowing. As you look back on this and the things you didn’t get to do (carry to term or breastfeed), please remember to give yourself grace - you were and are being SO strong and grounded while navigating this immense life transition into motherhood (not to mention on top of many crazy medical procedures!), and you’re absolutely rocking this journey that is uniquely yours. I’m so happy for you guys - you three look like you’re thriving now!
medical neglect happens so much more often than we know… it’s horrible! i am so sorry you had to experience this. i’m so glad everyone is okay and here ❤ but i am also so sorry you will have to deal with the aftermath and postpartum + trauma. i am sending you healing and love.
I am literally in tears for you! That doctor that ignored your concerns of labor needs to be FIRED. I’m so happy you and baby are safe.
Oh Sara. Listening to your story brought me to tears. I went through a similar experience with my daughter, who is now a healthy adult btw, but was a preemie and faced lots of challenges. It does get better and don't let that bad experience discourage you from having a second one. You deserve to have the family you dreamed of.
Being subscribed to a creative for so long and getting to see their first kid? I'mma take that as a W! Congrats Sara 🙌🏽
GIRL you are STRONG. I can’t even imagine going through this. Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing your story. I learned a thing or two and cried along with you ❤️ I’ve been following you for years and I love watching your personal stories just as much as your business-y ones :) So happy she’s finally home with you!!
Hey Sara! I’m really glad you’re all ok. I think me and my wife can relate to everything that happened to you. Our oldest daughter, now almost 4, stayed 6 months in the NICU. Long story short, she had a open heart surgery due a malformation due a syndrome she has.
Been in the hospital for all that time really put life into perspective. We saw a lot of amazing stories, and other not so happy in the end. Our daughter finally came home at 2020 Christmas Eve, with a tracheostomy and gastrostomy. Another hard 6 months until she took it all off.
Today she’s 100% and we had a second baby girl with a totally normal pregnancy. There are things who are totally out of our control but the best will always happen for us.
Thank god everything is fine. Your strength is an example for everyone
Stay strong!
Sara! you are literally the strongest person ever. thank you for sharing this story so vulnerably. it's been incredible following your journey for as long as I have and it's obvious you're already an incredible mom ♥ sending all the positive vibes to you and your family as your little one grows!!
i’m so sorry about all you went through and how you were treated. you are so incredibly strong and such an incredible mother. your baby girl is so beautiful!!!
Thank you for sharing your story!! You're genuinely a warrior and an inspiration...I have weird health stuff and have always been worried about pregnancy and childbirth, but this was weirdly comforting, so thank you. Glad mom, dad, and baby are all healthy and thriving!
I’ve seen you in a completely new light, Sara. Such a strong person. John is a lucky man.
I couldn't breath through this whole video. Wow, you are a survivor! I was born 2 months early and weighed the same as your baby. I'm now 62 years old and all is good. She is a fighter and you will have great moments with her. This was a very brave video. ❤
Sara, you and your baby girl are so brave! Thank you so much for taking such an introspective look at women's health through your eyes. Shout out to Mama Jeannie for having your back with the doctors and the nurses. Like you said in your videos, Mom was the fight, and your husband was the calm. I will be sharing your video on my Twitter page! This by far is one of your most important videos made, and we get to see your beautiful baby girl in the video and at the end. Mother's Day will have such a significant meaning for you and your Mom this year. God bless you all! ❤❤❤🙏🏻
I’m completely in tears. You are so strong. I’m so sorry but also congratulations. Wow, I just cannot imagine the journey it’s been from January to now but your courage to tell this story is remarkable.
I started watching you when you showed your grandfather's old Leica film cameras and now were here. CZcams is unique and surreal.
Thankful that your Daughter is thriving, and that you have created this video, that may help others! Squarespace, just earned my respect for their commitment to supporting you and staying with you through a difficult time.
I'm crying, i couldn't watch the entire video, but i had my daughter at 31 weeks old, and seeing that crocheted jellyfish just made the tears fall. I'm swedish and they crocheted a similar one for her and we still have it. It was nice to see that they made one for you too, even though we live in totally different parts of the world. I feel so so alone in having a preemie baby, but she is a healthy and happy 7 month baby and i couldn't be happier.
Literally cried like all the way through this. Had my own traumatic birth on 1/11 and I swear i’ll never complain again. I’m so sorry for all that you endured but so glad sweet baby is in your arms!
You’re still allowed to complain
Firstly, thank you so much for producing this movie-length documentary of your birthing experience. As a mother of 3 (aged 25, 12 and 9), I felt all the feels from you and your mom and your husband. I had all the 😬 and the 😱 and the 😭 and the 🥰 - all the emotions.
Secondly, there was a 12 year break between my first and my second, I was a one and done mother with PTSD from that first experience and when I accidentally found myself pregnant again 12 years later I was absolutely terrified and my OBYN knew that terror and we just took it one day at a time, all went according to plan, and I had a planned c-section the week before full term because I didn’t want (mentally, I couldn’t) to go through a natural child birth again… and it was such a calm and loving experience this time around… that I actually planned another 3 years later. So Sarah, just enjoy being a mother for now. What comes in future will be, but understand there’s choices that make things easier for us in delivery. Also, there’s nothing wrong with one and done. You do you, and we as women need to stop putting so much pressure on ourselves. Enjoy your beautiful, healthy family, get on with the act of living.
About a week ago I was watching a tech video and thought to myself "has Sara Dietschy made a video lately? I feel like I haven't seen her in a while". I looked you up and saw it'd been a while since you uploaded and watched your last video. I wondered if you'd be coming back to YT soon after the baby. I never expected all this! Glad to hear you and baby are doing okay now. I hope things continue to get better and easier.
I'm so sorry you went through so much. You and baby peach are incredible warriors. I hope you have plenty of healing and quality time with her
Oh man this made me so emotional watching this. You are a true warrior! So happy your sweet baby girl is thriving now. Just know there is so much to look forward to. What a wild and crazy journey motherhood is.
As a fellow CZcamsr about to start a family (21 weeks into the cooking), it was great hearing your story and seeing how cute you guys are with your baby girl. You're super inspiring and have me very excited to start my family.
