I love that Catlin and Leah are comfortable with sharing the c-section with everyone to show people that it happens to other people as well. They inspire so many people and I hope they will continue being such great parents to Oakley. You two are the best parents Oakley could ever ask for
I still can’t believe he’s here already 😭 I’m so happy for you both congratulations ✨🫶🏻
They are such good parents. I'm so happy for them and I'm glad that they delivered him safely. We'll done
i love the way you two talk about life things, the realness and yet not judging anyone else for doing things differently. you are amazing
I had my daughter 2 months ago via elective c section and it was the best decision I had ever made. The midwives that are in the room are absolutely amazing and are so comforting especially if you're scared of needles! I'm like Leah I didn't want to see anything but my partner did. With my previous experience before having my daughter, hearing her cry was the most surreal experience.
Did your insurance cover it ? I’m pregnant and I really want an elective c section but I don’t think insurance covers that. And if it didn’t cover it how much did you have to pay?
@Angel Wisal I live in the UK, so it was free :) have you got a social media account other than this? I can chat to you on there about it?
The most adorable and perfect little family. Leah you honestly are so inspiring and strong. Oakley couldn't have wished for better mummies 💕💕
You girls are so amazing sharing your stories with us, your love and devotion to each other and little Oakley is beautiful. Wishing your family every happiness in your journey into parenthood..
It is so, so amazing that you two are putting out this awareness and understanding into the world. You two are giving people so much inspiration and knowledge, not to mention just making the world a better place overall. So excited to get to see your family grow. You two are little Oakley are beautiful, wishing you love and good wishes.
My mum said when she had my c section with me that she felt no pain but she ‘felt like someone was doing the washing up in her belly!!’ Must be crazy!! Congrats girlies!! Xx
Thank y’all so much for sharing this special moment with us.
Beautifully said ladies that no experience is alike. I applaud you for handling it with Grace! Congratulations again 🎉❤
Happy continued time to your beautiful family as you navigate the 4th trimester. Remember to take care of yourselves as well and thank you for sharing what you can with us despite having a newborn! ❤️
there's no 4th trimester? Leah gave birth there's no more trimesters
@@delaneyyy813 it is a well-known term for calling the first three months of a newborn's life. I am aware that she had her baby, thank you.
@@bay5854 not very well known. nobody even says "the 4th trimester"
@@delaneyyy813it is becoming much more common to use this term; I suggest you look into it! Many people are trying to get past the idea that a pregnancy is over the second baby is born, when in fact, mother and baby’s journey lasts a few more weeks until both are fully healed and adjusted to life after physical separation. The “fourth trimester” deserves just as much research, education, and discussion as the first 3. ♥️
I was also born via IVF and C-section. it makes me happy that little Oakley and I had the same experience
My mum recently had a baby girl by an emergency C-section. She is now 4 months with a heart condition and a collapsed lung. I have been watching your guises video for ages now and it has been making me feel good about this situation and hearing about ur story has made me understand what my mum went through. Keep shining ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I hope your baby sister is doing ok 💜
So sorry to heard that sending you guys love and healing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You both are doing so wonderfully, Oakley is going to love you so much growing up. The best mums in the world ❤
You don't even know how happy I am for you two! You two are doing amazing!❤️
I’m so glad you’ve had a safe journey I’ve been watching you way before you started ivf! I hope baby Oakley is doing well ❤ and I hope you’re all okay. You’re all amazing!
I'm smiling so big watching you two be moms together and talk about the magical experience
It's really so so beautiful 🥺 I know it may be difficult but may God give you all you want or need
Oakley is adorable, and he has an adorable name, and you are the best couple on CZcams! ❤
I would love a postpartum video! Any of your feelings and experiences surrounding healing from the c section, any post partum depression or just feelings in general. Also y’all honestly don’t look that tired. I get that you’re exhausted but the glow you two have when you look at Oakley and talk about him makes you seem more awake and your eyes genuinely sparkle.
U guys are amazing parents and Oakley is so lucky to have u both. Hope your all doing well, amazing video xxx
I don't often leave comments on CZcams considering that English is not my first language. But you, ladies, really are inspiring and give not only me the encouragement to follow long-life dream. I wish you all the best in your parenting routine and hope one day in my country there will also be a chance to legally create a family like yours
Your English is perfect btw, don't hesitate to comment on videos x
@@jodiebaylis1639 I was going to say the same
@@jodiebaylis1639 much appreciated. I'm not used to people being able to react so positively. Thank you very much, I feel more confident ♡
Wish you the very best day
@@mdx7460 many thanks! Actually, this is the first time I've responded to a comment :D little nervous, but very excited. Wish you the best with all my heart
@@annarodionova1342 Your English is so amazing! 💕😍✨
I hope you have a wonderful and happy day or night! 🤗😘
I’d love to hear more about Caitlin’s breastfeeding journey. ❤
Um
Why is it weird? She’s induced lactation to breastfeed a baby she didn’t give birth too, it’s not very common and could be shared to educate people.
I'm so happy for the both of you I always excited when u guys post ❤️
I love this couple 🏳️🌈. No matter what anyone thinks, you are amazing and such great parents to little baby Oakley
Congrats girls 🏳️🌈🌈
Edit: Oakley is nearly 1 month old?!
No he's not. NO HES NOT?!
@@APersonOnTheInternet101 yes. He’s 1 month next week
@@caz1153 Well yes I know, it just feels like less time?
@@APersonOnTheInternet1016 months now
i’m going in for my induction on tuesday the 7th! super nervous but also so excited to meet my baby girl !! thank you for sharing your story 🫶
AWH, imagine Oakley in a few years time having CZcams looking through all these beautiful comments and videos about him ✨🥺
Please can you post more
You two are doing great. It brings back so many memories of being a new Mum. Take it easy both of you ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Every birth is unique.
Leah, You did it so good, taking the best decision for you. 🙂
Seeing You supporting each other in this new stage of your marriage is so heartwarming. Baby Oakley is SO blessed!
I’m so glad that it all went ok and Oakley is here safely, and for anyone wondering why they took it down yesterday it’s because It was showing Oakleys face so they took it down and fixed it!.
Least there doing it tonight 😊
Looks like they had to edit the video to crop out Oakley nursing. I'm assuming CZcams had a problem with it.
@@brimarie4196 I noticed this too!! I wish breastfeeding was more normalised 💜 it’s just a little bubba having his dinner!! 🥹
@@brimarie4196 no it’s because that don’t want to show Oakleys face until he is old enough to consent to it.
@@rawr.X.D it might be, but his face wasn't visible before. It was the same as the thumbnail just top and back of head.
I've had three csecs and I still can't even hear the word without my toes curling ahh God bless yee 🙏 💓 beautiful family x
Love you girls so much! Oakley is gorgeous ❤
I know the feeling being alone overnight so well, it’s horrible, I’m glad oakleys here safe and you should be so proud!!!xxx
Natural birth is not for everyone. With my first I had an induction, it was awful, everything went wrong and I was begging from the start for a C-section, ended up needing an emergency csection due to the baby's heartbeat dropping and me bleeding loads. I did have quite a lot of trauma from that but the csection was a breeze, the recovery was so easy and I was happy.
With my second, I had a planned csection. I loved knowing when it was going to be. Unfortunately everything went wrong for me, the spinal went to my brain, the pain was so bad it felt like my brain was coming out of my skull, I couldn't open my eyes the whole time so couldn't see my son be born, it caused heart issues, I was being sick constantly, It was horrendous. It took 10 weeks to recover.
I have had both good and bad experiences and honestly just want to say no matter how it happens for someone else, it won't be the same for you. Thank you for sharing your experience ☺️
The video is amazing and you are fabulous moms baby Oakley is lucky to be in an amazing family like this ❤❤❤
I still can't believe he's here. Where's the time gone?

Thank you for sharing your birth experience! 🥰 There’s many parallels I can relate to from my birth/C-section experience.
I wish your son in the future love both of you and being a good boy and good son... his mothers such good mothers...true fighter and true hero is a mother...
Some labor and delivery nurses are so perfect for the job. I had a similar experience with my nurse! When I was getting my spinal for my c section she was comforting me, hugging me, distracting my mind with conversation. She helped me through the entire process. They're fantastic!
Yes, the midwife and theatre nurse who held me during my spinal were amazing. I was an absolute mess by that point (awful labour) and they were so comforting.
@Caitlin Dayman some of the intake nurses were not the greatest. You can tell when they really do it bc it is a passion and they love it!
@@candacethomas9749 yes I had a not so great midwife at the start and one of the doctors was AWFUL. She basically assaulted me and left me traumatised
Leah you are so strong. You trusted your instinct to have a C-section and that’s super scary. Caitlyn being strong by standing on tip toes to see the whole thing. Your story made me emotional 🥲 You are a beautiful couple! May your baby be blessed with health and love. ❤
congrats u two we love u guys so so much!!! 💕
Caitlin and Leah are Such amazing Parents and baby Oakley is so Cute💙💙
Cant believe i followed you both since the ed recovery days on insta and now your both beautiful mummies ♡ makes me smile so much know there is life after ed ♡
I was born by c-section and when my dad had to take me down the corridor all the nurses were like “she’s got a good set of lungs” 😂
Hope you’re all doing amazingly and we’re all so proud of both of you, we know you will both be amazing mums ❤
It happened! I’ve been waiting a year, to see that beautiful baby boy!! He’s so pretty!
This video was amazing ! So insightful, would definitely like a video on Post Parton after your C-section and hear about your experience. I’m so happy your beautiful baby arrived safely ❤ & your both okay xx
Aww ily guys keep doing what ur doing I’ve been here since way before you became pregnant and I’m still here, I can’t believe there’s another member of the Caitlin & Leah family now!!! ❤🎉😊
The angle is so cute. I am so proud of you
This warms my heart. Y’all are absolute wonderful moms to Oakley and it makes me so happy, Oakley has the same birthday as me!! January 12th 😊😊😊
Good on you for making the decision to have the section. I wish I had taken it when they offered before I went through labour and had to have it have by emergency after hours of labour
You are both BEAUTIFUL! You guys are doing an amazing job! ❤️❤️❤️
More postpartum videos please! I struggled sooooo much affer giving birth to my first and there weren’t many honest videos like this!
Well done girls congratulations to you both thank you for sharing your story cheers from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺
he's already here and it's crazy. i've been on your guys journey ever since leah got pregnant. i'll be at school at 1pm so i can't watch it though. ill see it when i get home
You guys are amazing mums and Oakley is so lucky ❤❤❤
I was induced at the end of August last year. I had a horrendous induction experience. I had a pessary in for 24 hours, 3 lots of prostaglandin gel but my induction was very stop-start(longest being 30+ hours without any induction method). Ended up needing an emergency c-section because my body was stuck at 3cm’s and he was tilted behind my cervix, but now I have a healthy, happy 5 month old son! 💙 I was stuck in hospital for 8 days start to finish 🥲
Will be electing to have a c-section next time I have one! 🥰
You was a superstar Leah. My induction was so fast! I got the pesory at 11 and started contracting at 1pm then after 2 hours active labour my daughter was born at 3.57 😊
@simonehood
Congratulations 🎊🎉🎈 ❤️❤️
i gave birth 4week ago too and i have similar story,thanks god everything went well for you
You guys did a great job! I hope Oakley is gonna be a good boy!!!
I'm so glad you guys and Oakley are okay you worried me a little when you didn't upload for the rest of the month but I understand you have a lot on you plate and I'm so glad your all okay xx
i’m so excited! 🫶🏻
Good job Leah on having Oakley I AM PRAYING FOR YOU ALL AND OAKLEY
Congratulations to you both. So precious and beautiful. Enjoy him as time goes by so quickly. 💗
Aww..I LOVE this! So proud for you! I'd love a postpartum video! 🥰🙏
my baby boy was born january the 15th. I love that they’re that close in age, It’s a shame we live in different countries. Thank you for sharing your experience!! i’m so proud of you.
Vídeo idea: Day in the life with a new born
Leah could you please tell why you got the induction? That's the only point you both didn't tell.
Your videos are so inspirational
I'm from Israel and I really love you and your videos ❤️
U guys are so honest I love how open you both are and baby Oakley is Georgous congratulations 💜💙💙💙XXX stay being you guys xx
being mums look soo good on u guys damn i couldn't be more proud of u guys xx
Please do talk about your C-section recovery! I actually thought you elected to get a C-section ahead of time, it makes me feel so much better knowing you initially hated the idea but then came around and had a good experience - I'm terrified of birth but C-section scares me so much too, I'm not squeamish seeing other people's surgeries and even helping with wound dressings etc (had to help my partner after a cyst removal recently) but when it comes to myself I cannot cope at all. I had a chest reduction at 19 and I felt utterly useless and sick for weeks :(( I guess it's made me more afraid of medical stuff
Please don’t apologise for not uploading. You’re doing amazing and I was shocked at how quickly even this video was up!
Go enjoy your baby!! ❤❤❤
Yes, we all know it’s hard to look after a child so we all need to understand that she can’t upload all the time ❤❤
Congrats guys , Leah u look amazing!! Love baby's name!! U both are so inspiring n I'm sure Oakley will be proud of his mumma's!!
You two have done so well
I would love a video on how breastfeeding is going for you both individually and what it’s been like with the 2 of you doing it. I’m sure you’re smashing it 🤍
You did so good well done to bringing Oakley into the world
An epic video and I'm glad about the discussion about all the mental health stuff and the C-section (named after Julius Caesar btw, the first Roman Emperor not counting Augustus/Octavian- lol). Brave to convince the doctors and nurses though. That's like, pushing against the very, like, interconnected way we are. Humans change things and you made the change. Well done. And now here's little Oakley all in one peace. wow. Just wow.
I have never heard of an induction like that. I live in California and I’ve never heard of that. Here we get a shot of a medicine called Pitocin to induce labor. That sounds so traumatic. I am so sorry you didn’t have a lovely first however, it ended well and your baby boy is perfect. Congratulations lol. 💕💕💕
I had to have a c section and it really bummed me. I was in labor for three days and couldn’t get passed 6cm dilated. Not only that but my epidural quit working on my right side so I felt a lot more than I should have on the operating table. Thankfully both baby and I are ok
I’m sorry this happened to you. Inductions are very difficult if baby really isn’t ready to be born yet, understandably!
I can't wait to see the little boy face 🥺🥺
Thats so sweet! I bet you all are so happy that you have your own baby❤️🐻
Good video. Such a heartfelt, inspirational story. Continue on your road on getting the giant gold play button
I have to say I’m with you with the vaginal exams… Mine we’re excruciating at one point I asked them to stop and they didn’t… so as you can imagine intense trauma left behind from that. My cervix actually had to be pulled over baby’s head to the front as it was the wrong way round. I just want to say please talk about it as much as you need to the people you love, it’s haunted me for nearly 4 years. Many congrats on Oakley and best of luck for the future.
Amazing parents already ❤
Omg! Oakley is so cute I love him so much you guys are so amazing! And you will be great parents, Also amazing job Leah I’m glad you had a good experience with the c-section ❤❤❤❤
He is sooo cute im sooo happy for you. I hope you littel family stays Healy
You did so well Leah
Genuine question...why wasn't Caitlyn allowed to stay if she is the other parent?
I just gave birth myself last week too. I had wanted to go into labor naturally, labor without an epidural, and delivery vaginal. None of that really happened 🤣. I kept telling myself the whole pregnancy though not to be too attach to any particular plan. I had gone into early labor January 18 but just never progressed to active labor. I was having contractions but not strong ones. So two weeks later I'm 41 weeks they said let's just induced me. So I got induced, still labored without an epidural I was in labor for 10 hrs, pushed for 2 hours but he just wasn't moving. I was begging for a C section. Cause he wasn't moving the doctor agreed I needed a c section. Baby ended up being exactly 11lbs, but he was so worth it. He's the sweetest little baby.
You are both doing amazing job as parents
*Congratulations, lots of love from India, I missed few videos but thank God I am back, will watch all of them*
I'm so glad that your experience was so positive! I think it's so important to hear different positive experiences and to know that you can still feel good about things even if it doesn't go to your original plan. I had really hoped to go into birth naturally, but I ended up actually having a gel induction the same day as you, (so following your journey at the same time was so fun!). Fortunately my body responded really positively to the gel, I started contractions that night, my water broke the following morning, and I was able to have a home water birth which is what I was hoping for on the 12th. I did end up having a 4th degree tear, baby girl was 99th percentile for height, weight, and head circumference, and came out with her fist up, so I had to transfer to hospital to have stitches, but overall it was a positive experience, even though I was initially worried about being induced. So excited for your sweet little family, and wishing you a speedy recovery!
You are the best parents ❤️
This video was so brill ❤honestly you both are brilliant mums keep going
My spinal block ick. I felt it. He was putting it in my back, and it felt like bubbles popping in my back, and then it started to hurt. I jumped and said it hurts it hurts and the nurse pinned me down and was like, "DONT MOVE DONT MOVE STOP MOVING." They Numbed me some more, and then my bottom and legs got very, very warm, and then I didn't feel any pain. After he was born, they checked me with ice, and I wasn't watching, and shes like, "Can you feel this?" and I was like, "Are you even touching me?" I looked, and she had a bag of ice sitting on my belly. I was like "Oh, no, I guess not. "It took a long time for me to get my feeling back.
My epidural with my first son I could move still. Not well, but I could move. There was no way I was just going to get up and start just walking like nothing happened after an epidural. But I could walk, but it wasn't easy. It was quite annoying, actually. I could still walk slow and / or with help. Legs felt heavy and weak and hard to control at times. My spinal block I couldn't move at all for hours. Very different expirences. Loved watching yours congrats on your boy ♡ I love you guys ♡
You look beautiful and your both awesome, thank you for sharing your journey with us, your the best moms Oakley could ask for 💜
congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
