Preparing to be a first-time dad, 14 weeks along at the end of this week, and I’m so thankful for your videos. Resources for fathers are REALLY scarce, but your approach outlines everything so well, and I can see where I can help and what my wife might be experiencing week by week as the pregnancy progresses and when the time comes birth and PP.
@@DianaInThePink thanks! That really means a lot. Gonna do my absolute best to take care of my wife and our little (now) lemon. The excitement’s kicking in for us, so we’ll be binging your videos in our free time. 😊
I'm so happy to see this comment, and I wish every new father would be interested in learning as much as possible about what their wife/partner can and will be going through!
I am 3 weeks post partum with my first child . One thing I would urge Healthcare providers to advise patients would be to not sit in low chairs/couches when recovering from a vaginal birth. On the day we were discharged, I sat on my low couch and got up thinking it was no problem since I felt great. Well I guess there was too much pressure because it either ripped my stitches or ripped a new tear in me. I stood in place when I got up because I had felt a pop and felt a lot of warm blood. Well I bled right through my pad and there was blood running down my legs in less than a minute. I thought I was hemorraging. I had my baby at the Chickasaw Nation Medical Center (free to birth my baby at since my husband is from that tribe) but it is 2 hours from our home. My husband rushed me to our local hospital, only 20 minutes away. They determined( after hours there 🙄) they couldn't do anything for me and sent me to the CNMC where I had my baby. When I got there (hours later) they confirned it wasn't a hemorrage but I did have a large tear and was still bleeding. They couldn't tell if it was the stitched area that had a tear or if it was a new tear. They gave me intravenous antibiotics and said they couldn't sew me back up because it risks infection. The Chickasaw Nation was fantastic and I should have gone there first, I just thought I was bleeding too much for a 2 hour drive to get there. I was away from my baby for a full day and my poor husband had to wait for hours thinking I was hemorrhaging and dying. We were advised to not take the baby into the ER since he could catch something so my husband stayed in the parking lot with our newborn until my mom could come to our city (she is the closest relative and she was 2 hours away). My mom had to bring formula since I had been breast feeding until then. The Rollercoaster of emotions after that was crazy. Every time I thought about the experience I would cry. I would feel amazing and then it would pop into my head and the tears would immediate sprout. I wouldn't wish my experience on anyone! Everyone just said to take it easy, but I never thought that sitting on a low couch wouldn't be considered easy! Anyway, that was a long story, but I really would have appreciated if someone had told me jt was possible to tear that way, I would have been much more careful of where I sat.
So sorry you had to go through that! I wonder how low is too low? Most of the furniture nowadays is made so small and low it’s frustrating. I’m 5’8” and the shortest adult in my immediate family so I try to get regular sized furniture.
Oh my gosh :/ that is very very traumatic! I am so sorry you had to go through this but I am glad you are sharing your story to let other women in on what could happen.
My inner labia ripped into pieces during labour and I was living in poverty at the time, with inexpensive furniture. The stitches tore the day after labour. Never healed
I’ve been watching your channel my entire pregnancy. I’m now 17 days post partum with my beautiful healthy daughter :). My labor was definitely not what I was planning, I had GDM and at 37wks they suspected IUGR so I had to have an induction at 39wks. After 3 days and finally getting to 10cm and pushing, my OB saw my cervix was swelling, we waited for it to go back down and nothing, so I ended up with a C-section before it became an emergency. My husband has been an utter rockstar this entire time and I started therapy soon before I gave birth to keep a close eye on ppd and ppa.
Had my first baby in December. Definitely had dental issues during pregnancy. I was also constipated due to iron in my prenatal pills. I did have those feelings of cramps after delivering. I breastfeed, so I noticed when I was nursing, my cramps were more noticeable. Post baby, I experienced extreme exhaustion and some postpartum baby blues/PPD. My daughter is now almost 4 months and I’m finally getting back to normal and feeling like myself again. 💕
Currently in the 4th trimester after my third baby and let me just say you’re so right about the after birth pains! They definitely get worse each pregnancy. The after ease drop are a life saver.
Just had my first babe on 7/15. He came 4 weeks early, I watched your 36 wk video Wednesday, then went into labor Thursday. Baby boy is healthy 💙 but these hormones are all over the place
I had my son three weeks ago and I had a tough first week and a half of recovery. I had postpartum swelling in my ankles and hands, contact dermatitis from Always disposable underwear, an emotional Rollercoaster (crying and exhaustion), swelling, itching, burning, bleeding, etc. Luckily with self care (daily shower, prescription meds, ice packs, hugs, kisses and encouragement) I was able to get through it. I'm back down to my pre-pregnancy weight. I still have a bulge as my uterus continues to shrink and my belly is darker than the other parts of my body. Also was very gassy. The Linea Nigra is still there. I was always, always thirsty, so I drink lots of water. But most important, I'm feeling better, more like myself and I'm in love with my little pumpkin. I'm in no rush to fit into jeans and have been happy wearing my night dresses all day. Last week, I started wearing home shorts and loose shirts, which to me means I'm on the mend.
Had my baby in late October. Didn't notice hair loss until January. My shedding was so bad but it only lasted like a month. I did protein treatments every month and I'm seeing great changes. It's growing back
I have put about 4-5 dates in my smoothie every morning throughout my first pregnancy. I have done that every day from 2-3 trimester. I’ve had no constipation or hemorrhoids at all. Just a tip!
I'm 32 weeks and adding 5-6 dates to my oatmeal almost every day, also I'm eating dried plums every few days. No more constipation! I had big problems with it before in my pregnancy
I had My baby back in August and around 4 months I had really bad post partum hair loss and also post partum depression now she's 7 months and my hair is growing back and I don't feel depressed how I did. So it does get better ❤
@@SipLikeTea I feel like the depression came first for me then once I started loosing my hair it got worse .. but just hang in there it does get better with time it’s only temporary hair grows back
My son is 8 months and my hair is still shedding but is growing back. Unfortunately it's right on my hair line around my forehead and it looks like I've had an accident with straighteners as it looks like it's broken off 🤣 but its growing back atleast!
I gave birth a day after this video came out, perfect timing, Diana 😅. I’m a FTM and this was very helpful. Thank you! And good luck to all the mommas out there in whatever stage you’re at. You’re doing amazing, honestly 💜.
I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant, and waiting to meet baby boy in June 2023. First time mom to be, thank you so much for all of your videos, guidance and recommendations 😊 I have been watching every video week by week and learning about baby as he is developing. Looking forward to meet baby and see what our postpartum face would look like. Thank you so much for helping me answer questions and learn more about my body 🤗
Hi! I had my first baby a month ago, still haven't noticed any hair loss. I think I definitely had the baby blues, I felt so sad when we came back from the hospital I think it was mostly because my mom wasn't able to be with me when the baby was born because she got Covid :( I had a c section so I'm still recovering. I love your channel, I've been watching since I was around 20 weeks pregnant, sooo helpful!!!! Thank you Watching from Mexico 🇲🇽
It definitely takes a while. Up to 6 months sometimes. Also affected by whether you are breastfeeding or not, and if your period came back quickly. If planning to dye your hair or do some aggressive treatments such as keratin, it is better wait a little or consider less harsh options.
I am 40weeks today 🎉, no baby yet but I am very grateful for all the information you've put in your videos. I'm a first time mum and they have really helped me through the journey. Eagerly waiting to deliver ❤
Preparing to be a first time mom . I’m 32weeks pregnant and have no idea of how I will handle the postpartum. I’m glad to be here thank you for sharing this video
I’m almost 3 weeks postpartum and still recovering from delivery, but making great progress even after a second degree tear. Baby is doing great too! I watched these videos every week and got so much relief knowing what was happening inside of me. First baby boy and he’s sooo spoiled already! Thank you Diana!
I’m 36 weeks & anxious for labor 😬 it’s getting real now..but it’s so crazy no one really talks about these things! I feel like it’s pregnancy/delivery/postpartum is so mundane & routine women just forget about it but to go through it has been very interesting to say the least. I’ve been watching your videos from the start & really enjoy them so thank you😊
Delivered two weeks ago. I have been following you since I found out I was pregnant and started watching your week by week pregnancy videos. It's been such a help. Please make a video about things to do after c section.
I have watched all your videos throughout my pregnancy and moving to postpartum.your videos are AMAZING and I have learned so much . I had a forceps delivery at 40 weeks +2 days . It all went well . Thanks a million
I literally had the most amazing birth experience and postpartum (currently 8 months postpartum) period. But I was not prepared for losing weight so fast and the hair loss after birth.
Thanks Diana I have been watching your videos since 2 weeks pregnant, I had my baby 3 weeks ago. I’m still here because your videos are very helpful ❤❤
I've been so stressed and unhappy for the past week, and finding these videos has helped calm me down. 😞 Pregnancy is hard, this is my first time and I'm 31 weeks today.
@@DianaInThePink Don't reproduce. No birth = not being kidnaped and tortured. No birth = not being raped and not making new rapist. No birth = not getting hit by drunk driver. No birth = no diseases and painful death. Don't gamble with other people life, Don't reproduce
I had my baby more than a week ago. I was so excited up until day 4, I felt so sad and cried a lot even when everything was fine besides the painful vaginal stitches. I felt bad for crying... I'm slowly getting better. Thank you for your videos throughout my pregnancy.
It does get better :) I got sad pretty immediately, like the next morning in the hospital my husband left for 15 min to run back home to get more daipers (we live right by the hospital) and I was alone with the baby for the first time and this immense feeling of sadness and guilt, a feeling like il never be a good mom and how am I going to take care of this baby came over me, I started bawling and tried to hide it before my husband came back
34 weeks pregnant today with my third child. Saw this video and ive never really thought about whats happening to my body after pregnancy as im always just entranced by the baby and nothing else really matters at the time.
11 weeks here. I've done so much research that I feel like my brain is going to explode. But I still find myself struggling to come to Turms with the fact that I'm finally pregnant. I just don't feel pregnant yet, despite the overwhelming nausea, vomiting, exhaustion, and mood swings. I am hoping that watching a bunch of videos about pregnancy, infants, being pregnant, birth, anything will make me start actually believing it. Despite seeing the baby on ultrasound, hearing its heartbeat, seeing the pregnancy test, and going to three doctors appointments. Anybody else struggle with this? I wanted a kid for years now, and it only took a week to actually get there after so much time of denying myself the pleasure of carrying a child. My partner is happy, our families are happy, I am happy, but I still just can't believe it for some reason. I find your videos quite informative, and your voice easy to listen to while I work. Thank you so much for all these videos. I'm currently binging all of them now
Thank you for making these videos. When I was pregnant with my first I thought I was going in well prepared but I didn't even know I had to deliver the placenta right after having the baby. I thought everything just came out all at once. I was so surprised when they told me I now had to deliver deliver the placenta and I was then SHOCKED to see how big the placenta was.
I had my second baby about six weeks ago. I’d been meaning to watch this video. I just want to say your videos keep me feeling positive and normal. Thank you.
I just delivered and I’m so in love with my baby. I watched your videos during my entire pregnancy. Thank you so much for preparing me for my first baby!!
Diana I love your videos, came across you when I got pregnant and have been watching your pregnancy week by week videos, I just recently Gave birth at 39 weeks and never got to watch your 40th week of pregnancy video because I got busy with the baby plus hey I was done with pregnancy anyway, I love you girl and now here I am after birth still here watching your video. Love yoy
I followed along with your pregnancy videos throughout most of my pregnancy. My daughter is 8.5 months old now. This just popped up on my page and brought back memories of being pregnant and curious to learn about baby. 🥰 thank you.
I just had my rainbow 🌈 baby💙 almost 2 weeks ago. I'm not a ftm but I've been following your videos since I found out at about 9 weeks and your videos has helped me and my anxiety so much! I truly looked forward to your videos every week 😊 THANK YOU!
I’m still pregnant (35 weeks 2 days) having my first baby 🥰👶🏻🎀❤️and I’m excited and nervous. I’ve been trying to inform myself as much as I can because going into this and not knowing what to expect is more terrifying then anything else. Knowledge is power 🤓💪🏻
Thank-you Diana, i have been watching your channel ever since i was pregnant, now iam writing this carrying my cute angel ❤🎉He is healthy born on 13th of march 2024. Thanks be to almighty GOD.
Hi Diana, thank you for the great information. I am 38 and 3 days pregnant with our second girl. Excited, nervous and hopeful. I just found your video a month ago and loving your shared knowledge and experience.
Two months pp with my first via C-section. This was due to preeclampsia with dangerous symptoms, gestational diabetes. I delivered her at 36+5. This was such a surreal experience. And I frankly don't feel they provide enough information for when a mother gets home. But I was lucky enough to have a lot of local support systems available to me. For those just about to pop, give yourself some grace. I felt so useless when I got home. Swollen so bad, couldn't walk, couldn't sleep, and I had to care for babe. It's no joke. You are all so amazing. 💕
Thank you Dianna for all your breathing techniques, I had my baby 2weeks ago and you dont know how thankful I am for the breathing content you did, helped me survived 15hrs of labour all natural. I am here now because l do not know what is happening to my body lol. Thank you again and love to all the mamas, you are doing great
Hi Diana. I love your contents. I bump into your first video a month ago while searching for content on what to expect during 1st trimester of pregnancy. This is my 2nd pregnancy my first child is 15 yrs old going onto 16 this year so you know that’s a very long time. It’s like I am about to be a whole new expected mom again so, I’m here because I’m learning about how to be a new mom again. Thanks for all your helping videos love them.
I’m being induced unexpectedly this coming Monday, so preparing for what’s next. I’ve followed your videos throughout my whole pregnancy and just find them so helpful! Your channel is SUCH a great resource for expectant parents.
i am 8months with my first. its getting pretty uncomfortable, haha. i was feeling anxious about giving birth so i thought i'd watch some videos to help ease my anxiety. definitely helping. Thank you!
All this is actually not trumped by loving your baby necessarily. The two things aren’t related. I love that we’re meant to just be chill with all this physical and emotional trauma cos like BABY YAY
I am due in about a month and a half with my third. always something to learn! With my second I was terribly surprised with after birth pains. Never felt/noticed them with my first and they felt like I was going into labor again! No one ever told me about them, and I thought I knew it all because I gave birth before! Then my nurse-midwife told me about them and that they would likely get worse with each baby. So, not looking forward to that again, haha
This is my 2nd pregnancy and my postpartum after my first was a process I was not prepared for and it was very challenging to go through. This time around I want to mentally and emotionally prepare to go about it in a healthy positive way to heal.
Due today!! I had a membrane sweep, so we'll see if that gets the party started. Thank you so much for these videos- they are the perfect combination of encouraging + educational.
I agree that padsicles are amazing. I didn't make any prebaby but my dear friend made some for me and dropped them off about 2 days in when I mentioned I wish I made them 😂😂
I am 23 weeks and this is the first of your videos l have watched, l love how silly and serious you are! Really informative with a light touch, l will be watching more of your videos, you rock! Also thank you to all the ladies leaving additional advice and comments!
Perfect timing with your video. I'm 4 weeks postpartum and watched your videos during my pregnancy. Thank you for the content I enjoy watching and learning from your videos.
First time mom just had my baby via c-section Dec 16th 2022 and 3 weeks postpartum and your videos have been very helpful through my pregnancy journey.
I really love your channel! It has given me so much hope and positive energy even on my worse days during this pregnancy. I am 30 weeks will be 31 on Thursday
You can help prevent tearing by delivering on all fours. I delivered three children at home naturally and the only child that I tore with was the one who I delivered laying down on my back. He was my second birth and I pushed for like 4 hours!!! I don’t recommend laying down to push lol. With the other two babies I pushed in crouch position for about 20 minutes and they basically walked out and I did not tear at all ❤️ There may have been other factors at play like baby head position and such but I believe the birthing position played a large role!
Much respect for your brave choice to have a natural birth. I'm on my first pregnancy right now, and I would love to do natural but I'm terrified and don't have the resources.
Find the UA-cam channels “legacie birth” and “built to birth” they are both excellent sources and have so much information and inspiration. You will feel so confident in your ability to birth after watching other women triumph! Congratulations and you are built to birth you got this mama ❤️ It is going to be the best moment of your life no matter how your little one gets to you, this must be such an exciting time for you! Also remember to drink lots and lots of raspberry leaf tea to strengthen your uterus and do your pelvic tilts everyday to get baby in optimal position
Had baby #2 February 9th of this year. My kiddos are almost 10 years apart & I'm having a much easier time with the postpartum period this time around.
Watched all your weekly pregnancy videos until he came out 38weeks and 2 days. As the weeks went by, I would be so excited to watch another one of your videos and learn how my baby is growing that week. Now he is outside! Thank you for all your videos! It made my pregnancy journey extra special.
I’m 36 weeks tomorrow. Having my first child and trying to learn all the things! 🙃 I actually just went to the dentist this week! 😁 Also, speaking of hemorrhoids… I didn’t know prior to pregnancy that vulvar varicosities was a thing during pregnancy… 😳
I’m currently 36 weeks pregnant, not looking forward to the 4th trimester at all, but at the same time I’m super excited to meet my baby!!!! Only have 2 weeks until my induction due to my 99th percentile baby 😬 so excited, but super nervous too!!
Amazing …. Hav been following you since my first trimester and am in my 35 th week now. Thank you for all that u have been doing.. up till this post.. please keep up the good work and continue to b or support. All the best to all the mothers out there 💖💖💖
I'm 28 weeks pregnant, I've started watching these types of videos, im still at this point not afraid of giving birth. I'm probably delusional but I feel like I'm going to cope well, I'm probably in for a shock of a life time. Ahhhhh.
I'm so excited to be a mom again I just recently start watching your videos I'll be having my little bundle of joy in 19 days and I can't wait to meet her second time Mom my son is about to be 12 he going to be a big brother he's excited to as well.

I’m 26 weeks pregnant and have been watching your videos religiously trying to be as educated as possible! Thank you for all you do!
I am 8 days postpartum, I watched your videos the moment I found out I was pregnant. Gave birth to my healthy baby girl at 39 weeks and 1 day 🎉🎉🎉
Had my first in December. Finally experiencing hair loss but my strength and flexibility is slowly returning!
So glad to hear😃 and congratulations 💜
I have watched all your videos throughout my pregnancy and moving to postpartum.your videos are AMAZING and I have learned so much .
I had a forceps delivery at 40 weeks +2 days .
It all went well .
Thanks a million
I literally had the most amazing birth experience and postpartum (currently 8 months postpartum) period. But I was not prepared for losing weight so fast and the hair loss after birth.
Thanks Diana I have been watching your videos since 2 weeks pregnant, I had my baby 3 weeks ago. I’m still here because your videos are very helpful ❤❤
We just had our miracle baby on the 26th June, watching your videos helped me a lot, still going through my healing stage, just want to say thank you.
Aftr ur miscarriage r still birth aftr hw mny tym u got pregnant again
I've been so stressed and unhappy for the past week, and finding these videos has helped calm me down. 😞 Pregnancy is hard, this is my first time and I'm 31 weeks today.
It's hard sometimes. Especially in the 3rd trimester. You'll be snuggling that little one soon though. 😍
@@DianaInThePink Don't reproduce. No birth = not being kidnaped and tortured. No birth = not being raped and not making new rapist. No birth = not getting hit by drunk driver. No birth = no diseases and painful death. Don't gamble with other people life, Don't reproduce
Just gave birth this week. You weekly pregnancy videos were so helpful. My delivery experience was amazing
Congratulations on your little angel ♥
I had my baby more than a week ago. I was so excited up until day 4, I felt so sad and cried a lot even when everything was fine besides the painful vaginal stitches. I felt bad for crying... I'm slowly getting better. Thank you for your videos throughout my pregnancy.
It does get better :) I got sad pretty immediately, like the next morning in the hospital my husband left for 15 min to run back home to get more daipers (we live right by the hospital) and I was alone with the baby for the first time and this immense feeling of sadness and guilt, a feeling like il never be a good mom and how am I going to take care of this baby came over me, I started bawling and tried to hide it before my husband came back
@@kimberlyh463 oh my goodness, I'm so sorry that you felt that way. Knowing it gets better, brings hope. I bet you are a great mommy. 😊
34 weeks pregnant today with my third child. Saw this video and ive never really thought about whats happening to my body after pregnancy as im always just entranced by the baby and nothing else really matters at the time.
11 weeks here. I've done so much research that I feel like my brain is going to explode. But I still find myself struggling to come to Turms with the fact that I'm finally pregnant. I just don't feel pregnant yet, despite the overwhelming nausea, vomiting, exhaustion, and mood swings. I am hoping that watching a bunch of videos about pregnancy, infants, being pregnant, birth, anything will make me start actually believing it. Despite seeing the baby on ultrasound, hearing its heartbeat, seeing the pregnancy test, and going to three doctors appointments. Anybody else struggle with this? I wanted a kid for years now, and it only took a week to actually get there after so much time of denying myself the pleasure of carrying a child. My partner is happy, our families are happy, I am happy, but I still just can't believe it for some reason. I find your videos quite informative, and your voice easy to listen to while I work. Thank you so much for all these videos. I'm currently binging all of them now
Congratulations 💜 and thank you so much. For many women, feeling the baby move for the first time makes their pregnancy feel more real💜
I understand this! I’m 35 weeks and it still doesn’t really and I had Ivf! I feel like it’ll hit me when baby’s here! Best of luck!💕
Thank you for making these videos. When I was pregnant with my first I thought I was going in well prepared but I didn't even know I had to deliver the placenta right after having the baby. I thought everything just came out all at once. I was so surprised when they told me I now had to deliver deliver the placenta and I was then SHOCKED to see how big the placenta was.
I had my second baby about six weeks ago. I’d been meaning to watch this video. I just want to say your videos keep me feeling positive and normal. Thank you.
Your videos are wonderful! Not pregnant here. But your excitement about the topics your cover is really contagious!
I just delivered and I’m so in love with my baby. I watched your videos during my entire pregnancy. Thank you so much for preparing me for my first baby!!
Congratulations on your little baby. Thanks for letting me know. I'm so happy for you😃
24hrs postpartum..thanks for the tips & tricks to navigate through this critical stage of recovery..❤
Diana I love your videos, came across you when I got pregnant and have been watching your pregnancy week by week videos, I just recently Gave birth at 39 weeks and never got to watch your 40th week of pregnancy video because I got busy with the baby plus hey I was done with pregnancy anyway, I love you girl and now here I am after birth still here watching your video.

I followed along with your pregnancy videos throughout most of my pregnancy. My daughter is 8.5 months old now. This just popped up on my page and brought back memories of being pregnant and curious to learn about baby. 🥰 thank you.
Thank you so much for this video. 38 weeks pregnant today! Can't wait to meet my little boy. 😊

Aftr hw much tym of pregnancy loss u got pregnant again as I also delivery of still born bfr 3 weeks
I’m 6 weeks PP but I have watched all your week by week videos so I wanted to see this too
I’m still pregnant (35 weeks 2 days) having my first baby 🥰👶🏻🎀❤️and I’m excited and nervous. I’ve been trying to inform myself as much as I can because going into this and not knowing what to expect is more terrifying then anything else. Knowledge is power 🤓💪🏻
Good for you Eliza. I totally agree 👍
Thank-you Diana, i have been watching your channel ever since i was pregnant, now iam writing this carrying my cute angel ❤🎉He is healthy born on 13th of march 2024. Thanks be to almighty GOD.
Hi Diana, thank you for the great information. I am 38 and 3 days pregnant with our second girl. Excited, nervous and hopeful. I just found your video a month ago and loving your shared knowledge and experience.
Two months pp with my first via C-section. This was due to preeclampsia with dangerous symptoms, gestational diabetes. I delivered her at 36+5. This was such a surreal experience. And I frankly don't feel they provide enough information for when a mother gets home. But I was lucky enough to have a lot of local support systems available to me. For those just about to pop, give yourself some grace. I felt so useless when I got home. Swollen so bad, couldn't walk, couldn't sleep, and I had to care for babe. It's no joke. You are all so amazing. 💕
I feel for you but it’s all worth it
@@feilaowusua3499 completely, even now I don't even remember how miserable I felt because of her and what we have now
That’s good to hear
Thank you Dianna for all your breathing techniques, I had my baby 2weeks ago and you dont know how thankful I am for the breathing content you did, helped me survived 15hrs of labour all natural. I am here now because l do not know what is happening to my body lol. Thank you again and love to all the mamas, you are doing great
15 weeks pregnant for the very first time. Tysm for videos like this. Warns me of whats to come 😆
Hi Diana. I love your contents. I bump into your first video a month ago while searching for content on what to expect during 1st trimester of pregnancy. This is my 2nd pregnancy my first child is 15 yrs old going onto 16 this year so you know that’s a very long time. It’s like I am about to be a whole new expected mom again so, I’m here because I’m learning about how to be a new mom again. Thanks for all your helping videos love them.
I’m being induced unexpectedly this coming Monday, so preparing for what’s next. I’ve followed your videos throughout my whole pregnancy and just find them so helpful! Your channel is SUCH a great resource for expectant parents.
i am 8months with my first. its getting pretty uncomfortable, haha. i was feeling anxious about giving birth so i thought i'd watch some videos to help ease my anxiety. definitely helping. Thank you!
Your videos are awesome. I followed them throughout my entire pregnancy. I’m 12 weeks postpartum and my hair is definitely falling out. 😩
six months postpartum and I’m so grateful my edges are coming back 😂😂😂😂😂😂. It was gone and I was so sad. Everything is coming back thank god.
All this is actually not trumped by loving your baby necessarily. The two things aren’t related. I love that we’re meant to just be chill with all this physical and emotional trauma cos like BABY YAY
I am due in about a month and a half with my third. always something to learn! With my second I was terribly surprised with after birth pains. Never felt/noticed them with my first and they felt like I was going into labor again! No one ever told me about them, and I thought I knew it all because I gave birth before! Then my nurse-midwife told me about them and that they would likely get worse with each baby. So, not looking forward to that again, haha
Just found out I’m pregnant, this will be our first 😭 so nervous and excited 😂
First time mommy here! Delivered a baby girl one week ago! My body is going though ALL of the changes 😅
Just had my 4th baby, 6 years apart thought I would listen to follow up 😊
Only 5 weeks pregnant & watching everything I can to hear about others experiences! This is so helpful!
Hi my last name is Kipp as well
I am currently 26 weeks and 2 days. I love all your videos and I’m just trying to be prepared for when I have my little boy. 🥰💙
Currently 23 weeks almost 24 weeks, my husband and I love watching your videos ❤️
This is my 2nd pregnancy and my postpartum after my first was a process I was not prepared for and it was very challenging to go through. This time around I want to mentally and emotionally prepare to go about it in a healthy positive way to heal.
I’m 4 months postpartum and I honestly didn’t realize I went through the baby blues a week after birth until I saw this video😳
Due today!! I had a membrane sweep, so we'll see if that gets the party started. Thank you so much for these videos- they are the perfect combination of encouraging + educational.
Omg !! Congrats and you got this!!!!
@@shuilynmua8584 thank you!! I'm so excited.
Keep us posted .. rooting for you!!!
Good luck❤🤗
Thank you so much Molly💜 So excited for you to cuddle that little one of yours..any day now😉
Here with our 6 day old baby girl! First time mom and we are so in love. Thank you for all of your videos throughout pregnancy and this one (:
I agree that padsicles are amazing. I didn't make any prebaby but my dear friend made some for me and dropped them off about 2 days in when I mentioned I wish I made them 😂😂
I am 23 weeks and this is the first of your videos l have watched, l love how silly and serious you are! Really informative with a light touch, l will be watching more of your videos, you rock! Also thank you to all the ladies leaving additional advice and comments!
Thank you so much JC.😃 And congratulations on your pregnancy 💜👶
I'm 32 weeks and I've been watching In The Pink since before I conceived! Thank you so much for all your informative videos!
Thank you so much Liana. I'm so glad I can help. 8 weeks till you are holding your little one😃💜👶
Just gave birth to my first baby C Section still in pain but so in love with him your videos helped so much
Just had my son 💙💙💙 he’s now a week old!! I watched your videos up until delivery .. you’ve been so helpful thank you
Perfect timing with your video. I'm 4 weeks postpartum and watched your videos during my pregnancy. Thank you for the content I enjoy watching and learning from your videos.
Thank you so much Kendra. And congratulations on your baby
First time mom just had my baby via c-section Dec 16th 2022 and 3 weeks postpartum and your videos have been very helpful through my pregnancy journey.
I’m currently 33 weeks with my first! It’s a baby boy 💙
Currently 36 weeks pregnant with my third child. Very optimistic for pp hoping the best 🤞🏾
I really love your channel! It has given me so much hope and positive energy even on my worse days during this pregnancy. I am 30 weeks will be 31 on Thursday
You can help prevent tearing by delivering on all fours. I delivered three children at home naturally and the only child that I tore with was the one who I delivered laying down on my back. He was my second birth and I pushed for like 4 hours!!! I don’t recommend laying down to push lol. With the other two babies I pushed in crouch position for about 20 minutes and they basically walked out and I did not tear at all ❤️ There may have been other factors at play like baby head position and such but I believe the birthing position played a large role!
Much respect for your brave choice to have a natural birth. I'm on my first pregnancy right now, and I would love to do natural but I'm terrified and don't have the resources.
Find the UA-cam channels “legacie birth” and “built to birth” they are both excellent sources and have so much information and inspiration. You will feel so confident in your ability to birth after watching other women triumph! Congratulations and you are built to birth you got this mama ❤️ It is going to be the best moment of your life no matter how your little one gets to you, this must be such an exciting time for you! Also remember to drink lots and lots of raspberry leaf tea to strengthen your uterus and do your pelvic tilts everyday to get baby in optimal position
Had baby #2 February 9th of this year. My kiddos are almost 10 years apart & I'm having a much easier time with the postpartum period this time around.
Watched all your weekly pregnancy videos until he came out 38weeks and 2 days. As the weeks went by, I would be so excited to watch another one of your videos and learn how my baby is growing that week. Now he is outside! Thank you for all your videos! It made my pregnancy journey extra special.
I'm honored. Thank you so much. And congratulations on your baby😃
I’m 36 weeks tomorrow. Having my first child and trying to learn all the things! 🙃
I actually just went to the dentist this week! 😁
Also, speaking of hemorrhoids… I didn’t know prior to pregnancy that vulvar varicosities was a thing during pregnancy… 😳
I watched your video from week 6 till I had my baby. Thank you for walking me through this amazing journey. Really grateful ❤
I’m currently 36 weeks pregnant, not looking forward to the 4th trimester at all, but at the same time I’m super excited to meet my baby!!!! Only have 2 weeks until my induction due to my 99th percentile baby 😬 so excited, but super nervous too!!
So excited for you Emily
Diana does not dissapoint! Another informative video. I'm 8 days postpartum and preparing for the rest of this stage. Thx

I watched your videos week by week during my pregnancy. My little one was born March 13
31 weeks with my first baby! Trying to prepare the best that I can for the recovery and postpartum period!
I am currently 38 weeks pregnant right now and am nervous for the upcoming labor and of course the postpartum changes.
I'm 28 weeks pregnant, I've started watching these types of videos, im still at this point not afraid of giving birth. I'm probably delusional but I feel like I'm going to cope well, I'm probably in for a shock of a life time. Ahhhhh.
Hi I just had a baby 4 weeks ago via C-section and the healing process is hard but am getting better. Thanks.
I have followed you from the beginning of my pregnancy,birth and now
I'm so excited to be a mom again I just recently start watching your videos I'll be having my little bundle of joy in 19 days and I can't wait to meet her second time Mom my son is about to be 12 he going to be a big brother he's excited to as well.
