    Today I was teaching dance and this little girl started cruing while her mom was in the bathroom. I put her on my hip to stop her from crying, and she stopped. When her mom came out, her face was like 😱. She said that the little girl never let anyone other than her parents hold her and I was the first stranger she had been OK with holding her. My self esteem skyrocketed 😂😉😘

    I love pregnancy, labor and delivery videos. I always love hearing how other's went through it all. I have 2 boys, my oldest had the longest but smooth delivery because of the epidural. As for my 2nd, quickest but most painful, all natural. Motherhood is amazing and I would never trade it for anything! ❤❤❤❤

    Congrats Jen! I'm so glad that your birth was calm and that Aria arrived safe and sound! Loved following your journey--thanks for taking us along for the ride. Enjoy every single moment with her! They grow up so so fast! xo

    I have no clue how you didn't cry while explaining everything, I was crying of pure joy 😭 this is such a beautiful video and following throughout your whole pregnancy was such a blessing. Thank you so much for sharing your whole experience and I wish your new family only the best! 💕💕

    thanks so much for sharing your story jen. honestly hearing stories about labour is so terrifying but as soon as you brought little aria out I can only imagine how worth it it all would have felt afterwards. she is absolutely precious!! congrats!!

  • @elharaaddison
    @elharaaddison Před 7 lety

    I really loved hearing your birth story. So real! From one extreme to another. When each of mine were born it never ceased to amaze me what our wonderful female bodies are capable of. That, and the emotional (& hormonal) turmoil too.
    Your little daughter is lovely - just like her mommy.
    You are going to be great🍀

    Watching your video clip made me tear up a little because I can see how happy you are with your precious little bundle. And I will never experience that joy as I am unable to have children. Ugh, my apologies for sounding so down. Anyway, I just want to thank u, Jen, for sharing your labor and delivery experience with us. Congrats on your beautiful daughter! She's adorable. :)

    @alreanne Před 7 lety

    This video made me smile the whole time! I feel like I can relate to you in so many ways when I was pregnant and gave birth 2 years ago. I was only 4'9" and I had my son at 40 weeks. He was almost 41 weeks until I felt uncomfortable cramping, right away, I left to the hospital at 7 in the morning. But then! I had also ended up waiting the next day for him and he came out weighing 7 pounds and 8 ounces. Hehe.
    She is so beautiful! Life is amazing! Congratulations to you and your significant other! Life as parents will be even more rewarding for the two of you!

    Jen, I just wanna say, thank you so much for being honest and sharing about your tear. I would really love to hear more about the recovery process. I think there's not many people out there who are willing to share the fears of childbirth and only focus on the joy of having a baby (which i am sure is definitely joyful) but I appreciate being giving the option to learn more about the entire process, good and bad :)

  • @iheartscookie

    If you don't mind, can you please do a video on the tear/recovery/your experience? I know its a bit of a gross/taboo topic but it happens and not enough people talk about it. I would love to hear your story! Again, super happy for you and your family!

    It's crazy the different reactions to inducement. I was induced at 6:30 in the morning. Never got above a 2 on the pit because my contractions were so strong and back to back. I was fully dilated 4 hours later and 30 minutes of pushing and my little girl was here! I'm glad your delivery went well! Your baby is adorable!

    Aria is so adorable! Congrats! I've been following your channel for quite awhile but this is the first time watching your labor story. So very similar to my labor story. I had to be induced at 42 weeks. The induction process was long and slow. I wasn't making much progress from any methods used on me to get me to dilate (to the point I had asked for a c-section but was denied lol). But from the time I was ready to push it took about 45 minutes for babygirl to arrive. It was very calm and zen-like atmosphere too. My daughter is now 13 y/o so to hear your story just totally brought back memories 😊

The nurses actually told me my baby had a headache coming out because it was so hard for me to push her out. They had to use scissors on me in two places and I ripped. Recovery was super difficult for me. Your daughter is so adorable. Again congrats!

    I went all natural, no medication with my son (only child), I was in labor for 20hrs and 7 minutes of that was pushing and he came out. I too was quite(the lady in the next room was so loud). call me crazy but I loved that pain. I also teared even though my son was 6lbs. All in all I'd do it all over again.

    A beautiful labour story! Your little girl is beautiful. I had a 3rd degree tear due to my baby coming out with one hand on his cheek! The stitching up was worse pain than the giving birth! I almost blacked out at that point due to the fatigue and pain. But it was all worth it! My little boy has just turned 3.

    Congrats!! She is so gorgeous. My delivery was so similar to yours except my water broke. I went to the hospital, had pitocin because I wasn't contracting and was in labor for 30 hours. The post-partum recovery was the hardest. But 18 months post partum it's hard to even believe I went through all of that. It's amazing how strong a woman's body is! Also, my son had terrible reflux until he was about 9 months but it does get better!
