you guys are the cutest! 😩❤️
Congratulations Tina and Alfred.......My question is that when you held Lyla in your hand for the first time what was the first thing that came to your mind?
I learned so much about the video! thank you so much
Do you use baby formula or on complete breastfeed
What about zayn ??
Tina calling us lyla's aunties and uncles made me so happy 🥺 she's absolutely lovely, Tina.
Can’t wait to see lyla more … my 3 year old watched along with me the whole birth video and was so happy coz we are expecting his lil sister in few weeks 🥰
That is awesome!
Congratulations to u ❤️
Omg congrats!
@Don't read profile photo ok
Congratulations 🎊
Tina, I would like to thank you for all your transparency and how you’ve normalized this more in my life. As a young woman who wants children but has heard and seen terrible birthing stories in either movies or from people around me, this has given me a lot more confidence in my own body and the process itself. Thank you so much and congratulations on your beautiful baby! Wishing you three the best ❤️
I feel the same
I love how you don't sugarcoat anything and answer honestly...the birth blog was so raw and real.. thank you for being so real about it. I hope you are doing well and giving proper rest to your body...
P.S baby Lyla is sooo cute 😫 and you are glowing as well. Take care 😊
Fun fact - loads of people poop during labour and never even know about it. Midwives are used to seeing all sorts of mess during labour - they’ll just clean you up and carry on and more often than not they won’t tell you.
I went into preterm labor days after your birth vlog and I didn’t think they were contractions until I remembered you!! I checked myself into the hospital and got to slow it down but honestly if it weren’t for your video I think my baby would’ve been here by now so thank you for sharing your special moment with us💕
Aww congratulations! Hope you and baby are doing well ❤️
I am so happy to see you Tina! You look so radiant ! Little Layla is adorable and I am sure she keeps you guys up quite a lot. Hope you do get the chance to rest properly though. Can't wait to see more beautiful memories of your wonderful beautiful family of 3 😁
Thank you so much!
In Norway the whole experience from the day you get pregnant included the whole birth is completely free in the public health system. Also everything for you baby is also free until the child is 18. After that as adults we have a small sum paid each beginning calendar year and the rest of your health care and medications are covered for the rest of the year. The amount we pay before it's free is around 250 dollars us. We are quite privileged in this country...
That’s amazing!
Here in the UK, it's £0.00!!
when can i move in? america is ridiculous😭
@Sheree Boulton What do you mean, my friend?
Hey Tina.. I must say our niece is very very cute.. May God keep her away from evil eyes and bless her with all the happiness in the world.. Lots of love from India..
I love that you say everything as it is. Be real about the pregnancy and birth. It hurts and no woman can say it doesn't. Before going to have C section I didn't had epidural cause I stopped at 3cm and when they gave me an epidural for operation I was like: I wanna sleep. I wanna rest. And the nurse was asking me question and I was still saying "I want to sleep" 🤣😅 but I would do everything the same again with the 2nd baby 💙💙
Love you watching and give a big kiss to beautiful little girl Lyla
This is why I love your content! You’re always so honest and transparent about things people never really talk about so thank you 🙏🏽💛
I always thought a dula was kinda useless but seeing how Chantel helped you and your brief description of her services and how she helped you (and will continue for the next year), i feel this this is a really good option and i will be considering one when the time comes. This was especially eye opening as an aspiring nurse midwife. 💕
Lyla doesn’t even know how many aunts & uncles she has! she has so much love for her already 🥲🥰🤍 we love her so much Tina!
this is definitely again an honest QnA & that's what I love all about tina
Off topic, but your makeup is SO pretty in this video. I've been staring at your eye makeup the whole time because it is SO gorgeous... please do your makeup like this more often!!!
You were blessed to not have the back labor pains and having a wonderful supportive husband. Makes a big difference!
Alfred made me cry. The way he looked at you two- 🥹🥹🥹
She is the cutest little angel 🥺 I’m so glad you had such a positive experience cause honestly, even thought I’ve never had a child, only seeing birth vlogs is usually kinda traumatic for me lol so thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us guys! Your family is the sweetest 💜
I know I want to experience giving birth and of course having a baby someday, but after watching hundreds of birth vlogs and hearing stories, I KNOW I'm nowhere near ready (emotionally or financially) for this big step in life :')
You are my personal favourite Australian UA-camr! It has been now 8 years I have been following you ever since I lived in Sydney, Australia and now watching you from England, I am getting married soon! my partner is half English half Aussie it is interesting! I learned now a lot about labour and it is like being pregnant. I am going to be a good dad.
I'm so glad that you had a positive birthing experience, Tina. Our little niece is the cutest baby EVER! I'm so happy and excited to see her grow. 🥺❤ Much love from 🇲🇽 for your family!
Hey Tina! As an auntie, I love seeing videos like this. I'm not having kids, but watching this is like an education. I just want to know how I can support my friends and family members that are moms, and this video helps. And I'll be watching way more. I put this in the question area too but: What are things you would want/wish your friends and family members would do to make you feel supported as a mom? What are things you wish you received in a pregnancy care package? How could I support a laboring mom if I'm invited in that sacred room/space? I come from a big family and have a lot of cousins having kids. And if anyone happens to see this feel free to comment or inbox me even. I'm literally here to listen and learn because I'm not having kids. I haven't been there, so I don't know what it's REALLY like, you know what I mean? Just trying to be supportive and taking notes as the auntie on duty. Thanks everyone in advance for all suggestions and advice, I need all the help I can get on this.
I'm currently 25 weeks pregnant and Tina makes me feel so calm and optimistic!! She made it seem so easy, such a strong woman! Thank you for sharing your experience with us ❤❤
Congratulations 🥰
I remember my mom saying she just pushed me out not fully dilated as she didn’t care anymore, she had to get stitches, her story traumatized me from getting children, I really want to have 2 so I am glad I stumbled upon your video, it has comforted me that birth may not be as bad as it sounds like.
Congrats again!! My son is 30 years old now! But I still remember the first years as if it were yesterday. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Just a suggestion.. if I may, take turns getting like 3 hours rest. So Alfred can look after Liala for 3 hours while you sleep after she has nursed. When you wake, he can get 3 hours while you nurse her and look after her.
Wish I were there to help you.🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for the advice 😊
I’ve given birth to my 3 babies all naturally without any pain relief. My first I was 15 (too young ik). While I was in labour I just couldn’t bring myself to take any pain relief, not even the gas. I’m so proud of myself. It’s honestly so amazing what our bodies are capable of. Congrats again, Tina & Alfred. ❤️
She’s seriously so cute! 🥺
Glad your doing well after birth tina! ❤️
Glad to hear that you are recovering well! I would love to see a “what’s in my hospital bag” type of video :)
Thank you Tina! I'm 39 weeks and 6 days as of today and this is so helpful. Biggest tip take away for me, don't give up and and when you think you can't do it anymore is when your the closest. Congratulations again on your beautiful baby. 😍
Congratulations 🥰
Tina is glowing after giving birth to Layla ✨❤️
I have never been pregnant before, and at this current moment I don't see it happening anytime soon, but if (or hopefully, when) it happens, I'll definitely revisit your videos for tips and ideas. Also, your makeup look in this video is the loveliest that I've ever seen! Can you share the products or how you do it?
I’m so happy your birth experience was so positive! Lyla is just so gorgeous. Alfred was so supportive and your doula was wonderful. Watching you do that final push in the water I felt like I was there with you lol.
I wanted to do non-medicated as well but because I was a week and a half late the doctor gave me pitocin to kick start my labor. And unfortunately after 16 hours of hard labor with no real progress we had to do a c-section because my baby was in distress. The positive thing was my husband got to watch the surgery and truly appreciated everything I went through to bring our precious daughter into this world! ❤️
Baby Lyla is too cutee. My heart cannot handle it 😭😭❤️❤️
I’m giving birth soon in a week or two. Watching your sharing has brought me a bit more courage when epidural is not a guaranteed option in the hospital I’m going to . Thanks Tina !
Congratulations 🥰
We need a video about your experience with breastfeeding! What’s your routine? How do you tackle the day??
Tina is like the older sister you can ask for everything without having to worry. I'm no close to having a baby but thank you for that video, it's informative and useful. Thank you, stay strong and healthy all of you 💜💜💜
I was astounded at how calm (well, relatively speaking lol) your birth vlog was - I'd love to hear more stories from your doula about how we can prepare to have non-traumatic birth journeys (as opposed to what we see in movies).
The price is crazy. Delivering should be free or at least a few hundreds at most. What do you do if you can't afford a few thousands ? Do you just deliver at home with all the risks that come with it ?
Every birth, even for the same mom, is different and unique. There is no way to predict how it will be like.
I am currently 15 weeks pregnant Alhumdulillah, its my first time too🥺🥰🤗
Congratulations 🥰
You two will be the greatest parents, can’t wait to see more of Lyla.
I'm 7 weeks pregnant and your videos are my favorite! It makes me feel a lot more calm going in to what is ahead. Thanks you for sharing 😊 I am so excited for the doula video!! You look absolutely stunning by the way love your outfit.
Congratulations 🥰
Congrats for you guys!
I've watched your birth vlog with my sons (they didn't know whats going on, they are 9 and 21 months) and I can't get how women can be this strong!
Like really! Guys you can give birth for few days!
Tina you stayed so calm and stay at home for few hours!
Both of my births were at hospital nearly from start, but I wasn't here for long (4 and 0,5h)... And I can say it was nothing compared to girls giving birth for 12,20 hours or 2-3 or more days!
Women have some power, that I can't understand!
Giving birth was a no go in my life plan but actually seeing these kind of positive pregnancy videos kinda makes me reconsider over again
We need a list of your resources because your research is really EXTENSIVE
Hearing that the contractions can feel like period cramps gives me relief when I decide to have children as I don’t really have bad period cramps. I’ve felt more pain with terrible ear infections and teeth/gum pains when I got braces and dental surgery
I cried so much watching your birth vlog and i cried again now cuz i remembered everything that happened. It's like we were with you through the whole thing. Im so grateful for your generosity in sharing you life stories with us, especially the TMI ones, it's really helpful. Im not even having a baby, but I learned so much from this, especially in the mindset aspect. Love you guys so much! Thank you for giving us your time and doing all this, even with your sleeplessness, you could've been napping, but you took the time to get dolled up and record this video. Thank you so so so much for taking us with you. God bless your journey and family.
She's the cutest 😭😭
ikr 😭
The fact that in some countries you have to pay for these things always shocks me… I’m glad it all went well Tina ☺️
Lylah is just as beautiful as her mother💕💕
Watching this made me feel like I gave birth yesterday, all the memories started to pop up in my mind. I really almost gave up pushing 😔 But I'm glad I did it! Kudos to us! 🤭🤭👏👏
I have so many questions about postpartum care! Does it hurt down there ? What about when you want to poop after giving birth? Does it hurt ? Did you have to change your diet? And what over all postpartum advice would you give to new mommies? Postpartum plan? How did you feel mentally after giving birth? Postpartum depression scares me the most 😳
The contraction part sounds like when I’m passing a kidney stone, I’d like to think one day I’ll be ready just from dealing with those haha. Thanks for sharing!! I love watching these even though I have no kids.
That is still less expensive than a regular birth in the US. Doctor charges delivery fee plus hospital bills separately (I worked at an Ob/Gyn).
Bless you both!! Hope y’all get some rest here and there
About the same! Lol so yeah you be ready one day hahaha
@@JYYB that is good to know 😆
It's nothing like a kidney stone. (different hole). Unless the kidney stone is the size of a grapefruit at least. Those are very very painfuI as well so hopefully u built a tolerance! I have two daughters. Didn't have the same experience as Tina. I was in labor for days, it's different for everyone but hope it goes well for u. ❤️
@@kayleighselina.3152 I know.. the pain is just sometimes equated to contractions because of how painful it is. I’m sure one day I’ll be screaming like Tina too haha
Heard a few ppl say kidney stones are worse than labor!
Babies learn how to dive in water and swim very quickly, because they were in liquid for about 9 months. So if you want your baby to learn how to swim and hold their breath under water, then you could start schooling them for that with a swimming teacher :) that way the baby will learn faster than when she/he is older. 😊
Question for your Doula: what are tips for handling back labor? Especially back labor so intense that it stalls your labor.
My labor with my firstborn was 35 hours and I had back labor the while time. I was at home for the first 24 hours and got admitted into the hospital when I was a 4. I reached a 5 an hour later, but stayed at a 5 for the next 6 hours. My contractions were 1 minute apart and so intense I was crying. I finally got an epidural and was a 10 a few hours later and pushing.
My second born was basically the same experience. Back labor from the very first contraction. Only this time my labor was 25 hours. I was at home for 15 hours of it, got to the hospital at a 5, and stalled out at a 6 with contractions 1 minute apart so painful I was crying, and was pushing within 2 hours of an epidural.
I am currently 5 months pregnant again, and I am not against getting another epidural if I have a similar experience again. But I really would like to handle the pain better so that I am able to enjoy my birth experience more.
Side note: My partner for the first 2 was present, but not very involved. My now husband is incredibly supportive and will do absolutely anything to help me through it.
Wonderful to see you and Lyla doing so well🥰
@26:26 that's what mentioned in Quran that it's a 30 months duration of Hardwork, conception to weaning off.
so happy for u guys she is beyond adorable and I cant wait to watch your parenting journey!
Thank you for talking so openly about your labor. We as modern people living in this time, being imprinted by Hollywood, we forget that women are made to do that. Many of us only have one baby and don't get to the point of a "stress less" labor having experience. I am very thankful for having hospitals and all that but I think many women are pushed into pain medication instead of being calmed down and get trough it without. Our moms or grandmother's did it mostly without medication, we as human beings do that for millions of years without pain medication. We can do it and shouldn't fear it. I don't want the times back as many mothers and baby's died in labor, don't get me wrong but we tend to neglect nature and the time after giving birth can be more troublesome when we skip the hard work ☺️ my thoughts
gave birth to my first born about a month ago and omg I can soooo relate to all these, congratulations Tina!
Congratulations 🥰
For your daula: does the irregular periods and having too much period cramps that make you throwup and lower body temperature cause problems while planning to have a baby? How to avoid that?
Lyla is so cute, can't wait to see more about her
Fun fact lol: doctors usually only come just as the baby is coming out, because if they aren't there for the "actual birth" then they don't get paid! Back in the day, nurses would force women to hold the baby in, or use their hand to stop the baby from coming out, until the doctor got there. It lead to alot of babies dying and having brain damage due to lack of oxygen. Look up The Kennedys (yes, the president) it happened to their sister.
Not painful? We all saw the vlog....those weren't "sensation screams" those were "theres a baby coming out of my body and its HURTS screams!"
Lol. Not the case in Singapore! My doc didn’t make it in time but still had to pay him :)
Found it odd how much she downplayed the pain bc she was screaming so loud
@@shishkebab6267 fr shes making it sound like it was amazing experience, its difficult asf and shes strong but she def was in A LOT of pain. like a whole baby is coming out of you bruh
Thanks for answering the questions helps me prepare myself, I want to ask the recovery after birth. Some people say they find it hard to poo and takes a few days after birth, is it same for you? Did you find it hard to breastfeed at first? Did you experience pain when feeding? Everyone tells me to not wash my hair after birth, did you wash your hair? Lastly, how do you feel now are you getting any help to look after lyla? My questions are quite straight forward since I'm at the stage waiting for my baby girl.. I want to prepare myself
Girl, you look radiant and Layla looks like a tiny princess like she is. I am so happy for you guys.
The thing is that the tip of you coccyx would move alittle during labour so it can cause irritation and pain . Setting on a cushion or using crushed ice packs can be helpful . If it got worse your doctor may suggest mobilization.
So happy for you both, Tina & Alfred :) Really very encouraging to see & hear these from you guys!! Thank you so much for sharing !!
Lylah is so precious. You’re still glowing Tina!
I’m so glad you had an easy birth. Thanks for sharing everything with us. Love you all.
I got pregnant first time …then had miscarriage at 6 weeksss and am still going through that stuff and feeling so sad..now am trying to loose my weight can you please ask your doula after how much time I’ve to try again for baby and what I’ve to do for my health so that thing never happen again ……and love you….😘😘❤️❤️❤️ I remember I was seeing your birthing video on the day I had miscarriage and I was crying but I was sooooo happy for you and baby Layla ❤️❤️🥰🥰😘😘😍😘God bless
her …. Lots of love and prayers for her 👼🏻👼🏻🤣🥰❤️❤️baby dust to All the women who are trying
So sorry for your loss 🙏🏽
😔😔thanks for feeling me 😇
For me both births (first was unmedicated not by choice, 2nd had an epidural but still felt quite a bit but a lot better of an experience for sure) when I felt like I was gonna poop, it was time. First time I told them I needed to get to the toilet to poo and they checked me and I started pushing. 2nd time they tried to put me off when I said I felt I needed to get to the toilet but my mom went to the nurses and told them they better check me because of the first time and once more I was ready to push. I'd take the ring of fire over contractions any day. Love hearing others experiences. Especially ones who CHOOSE no epidural.
I love how you call us unties and uncles so sweet of you.
Thank you for sharing us your birth experience, i truly want to become a mom one day and I'm afraid of birth. Probably because of lack of knowledge i remember when i was a teen i thought it's painful down there that's why they scream but it's actually the labor contractions! Because of your vlog. I want to experience normal delivery birth also but i have things to consider still such as i have hemorrhoids, 8 inch Long surgery stitch from my raptured appendix so yeah. Childbearing and Birth is just so beautiful. ❤️
You did so well, she's beautiful 💕
Thank you so much for sharing your water birth experience, Tina. Watching this on my 27th week as I prepare for my water birth on Sept. 19th. 🥹☺🙏🏽
It gets better all the time but there's a big difference after 9 weeks and 6 months
Ur amazing Mama! Thanks so much for sharing with us future mums 🥰
Little Lyla is too cute bur plz continue to share her development with us
I am so jealous of women who had an easy going labor. I had a traumatic labor for my first baby. I didnt have a doula or any support so I didn’t know what to do. Doctors just kept telling me to push and threaten me with csection which caused more stress. I am giving birth in two months at a different hospital and hopefully it will be a better experience.
Omg that's horrible no mother should ever have to experience this. I pray that your next delivery will be a calm and beautiful experience 🙏 ❤️
So proud of you Tina...you're strong and I know you'll be a good mother
Wow this is sooo empowering that you did it without the epidural! Thank you for sharing your experience!
PLACENTA SHAKES WTFFFFFFFF😳. I DID NOT KNOW THIS😳
I became so emotional watching your birth video. My cousin is in the second trimester and your videos are really helpful.
May God bless Lyla( I'm sorry if the spelling is wrong) with all healthy and peaceful life🥺.
She's so lucky to have such beautiful family 🥺
Hi Tina, I’m a long time subscriber but think might be the first video that I’m commenting on. I am expecting our daughter in roughly a month and a half now and your videos have made me feel so much calmer about the process. You are always open and honest in your videos but hearing about your own experience and your thoughts help me prepare myself mentally. I just wanted to express my gratitude since I can see that having a newborn and making these videos at the same time cannot be easy. And congratulations on your birth!!
When my son was due, he never came, so my midwife induced me with plitocin 2 weeks after my due date.
I was so disappointed because that meant that I wasn't able to do a water birth, or be at home or even the chance of giving birth naturally was unlikely.
I tried to do non-medicated birth, but my plitocin contractions were so incredibly painful, one right after the other that I would have passed out if I didn't get an epidural.
All in all, I'd say my birth experience was pretty positive..even though I didn't get the kind of birth that I had planned, my son was healthy and thats what mattered to me. :)
The whole birth video was sooo intense but calming at times cuz I've been there. But I was forced to do C-section instead. cuz just one day after my clinical appointment, turns out my baby decided to "tumble" herself in my belly. So I had breech baby
You have like a new Mama glow - you look so fresh and prettyyyy
Oh im so happy for you three ❤️ thanks for sharing so much with us, you seem so ready to be a mom, the composure you have and sureness you exude is just so beautiful! Speaking of, I had to go back and watch that clip at 7:06 a couple times 🥲 such a sweet tender moment, I hope when I have a baby I have someone by my side like you had Alfred aww.
I've been following you for years and I'm so happy for you. Your little one made you parents 💕
how would you recommend preparing to take care of a baby ?
And btw lots of respect for the experience you went through, you look great after having a baby😊
Honestly your birth video was so beautiful and lovely, the whole vibe was amazing ❤️ congratulations
She's sooo adorable 😍 I hope little Lyla has a happy and healthy journey 💖 💗
Omg when you called us aunts and uncles my heart burst!! 🥰😍 Lyla is so cute! My question is about the epi-no device, here in the US we can't use that device specifically, it's banned and we can't buy it. Is there any other device or method that would do the same thing? Or any thing that us US women would be able to do to help with tearing?
I watched your video, but to me your video was exactly like in the movies. The way you were screeming and how it all lasted so many hours... I am traumatised to know it is like that in real life too. I now know I can never do this. I won't become a mom. Major respect to everyone who can go through something like that.
I did hypnobirthing too with my first baby and I was so touched by your vlog that I definitely want to do it again. I'm due in November :) I had a lot more back pressure during birth it was super intense... I got some pain medication but it did NOTHING but made me sleepy. No epidural though. I think if I had stayed home after my water broke I could have avoided a lot of medical intervention. Also my room had a tub but my doctor sucked and didn't let me use it at all. ugh. This time I have midwives and they are so awesome and I'm excited. also IT DEFINITELY GETS BETTER!!!! Time just keeps passing and you will recover from the first few months, :)
I’m due in November as well!!
Lylaaaaa will get well sooon super soon and she will be sooon really healthy and strong ♥️♥️♥️♥️
She looks GORGEOUS in that floral dress!!! ❤❤❤
Honestly the price for the doula was a lot less than expected! I think it’s definitely a good expense
I just revised for my Gyna exam just by watching your videos
Hi Tina! Can you please share your belly care routine (that you did during pregnancy and post partum). I'm currently in my second month of my third pregnancy (the previous two ended in MCs) so I have.. three pregnancy worth of stretch marks 😅. I'm trying my best to keep the skin hydrated and soft but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Much appreciated.
yes.... after get our babies in our arm..all the hurt automatik gone... n u feels so happy see ur babies...♥️♥️
Just wait when her personality starts to develop and starts showing, from there on it's like magic taking care of her. At least that's what has happened with my nephew, even I saw the difference and was able to connect with him more. It will get easier from that point on😉
