The “man she’s really ugly” comment was SO GOOD to hear. Newborns are so odd looking when they first come out and it made me feel soooo much better about having the same thought! I’ve never heard anyone else say that about their baby but I swear we all have to think it for the first few minutes. 😂
Im due in a month and I always worried people will judge me because Im pretty sure Im gonna think he is ugly at first but the cutest all at the same time. So I love hearing people say their baby was ugly at first because they are!!!! Lol
@@chantalwood5788 girl you think whatever you want about your baby you’ve carried him. They come out looking crazy 😂 I am 38 or 39 weeks (due dates off) and had a 3D ultrasound today, his face was all squished together, I know that’s not what he’s gonna look like in a couple months after birth lol. And this is my miracle baby after a loss. Us mommas can think what we want, they’re gonna be precious after they come out and have been in the world for a minute. But if you’ve already had him I hope your birth went smooth and everything went good ❤️❤️
That was hilarious
I love how humble you both are about your experiences - even as medical professionals. I know this will enrich the way you care for women and children in the future. Many congratulations to you - looking forward to following along your journey!
Hey Faith!
why wouldn't a drug dealer be humble? just cause she wears a white coat? humility doesn't make you something special. it means you're doing the bare minimum to not be a delusional ass. lol
why shouldn't a medical professional be humble? they're body technicians and drug dealers, mainly.
I'm 37 weeks. Thank you for this vid and the dad experience.
When I heard her cry I started bawling. 4 months pregnant and hormones are raging!! Congratulations you guys!! She's so beautiful 🎀🎀🎀
I’m not pregnant and I bawled too!! 💗
7 months here and same 😭🥰
I'm 9 weeks and I completely feel that 😉
Im 26 wks pregnant and i cried too 😂
Im almost 4 months and bawled too 😭
it was funny when the dad said baby girl looked odd at first because I thought she looked just like him 😂😂😂 but I think she was adorable !! Her little tongue sticking out so cute
I cannot tell you how many times I have shared this comment with family and friends because it is sooo funny and true! Everyone agrees she looks JUST like her dad-they call her baby Kurty!!😂
She does look like dad! I have heard babies look like their dads to help the dads bond with their baby.
I thought the same thing! Right when he said I thought she'd be more attractive than that, a close up of her face came up and I was like, that's his nose. Then I registered what he said and lol'd 😆
@@thayerwilliams905 Yep she definitely has Dad's nose lol.
Wife and I are 7 weeks along, and we had a vulnerability session last night where we both vocalized our fears and worries and just cried on each other’s shoulder. Seeing Kurt holding her brought tears to my eyes-it just makes me remember how much I love my wife and my soon to be baby.
I cried watching this. I’m 37 weeks pregnant and I hope and pray for a safe delivery and a healthy baby. This was such a positive video. I truly needed to watch this right now. My labor fears are going through the roof right now. This isn’t my 1st pregnancy but my last was a stillborn. He was a baby boy and we lost him at 7months pregnant.
I hope everything went well! ❤️
I'm so, so sorry for the loss of your little baby boy. I hope this new baby heals some of those wounds.
Condolences on your loss. Praying a safe, healthy labor & delivery for you and a looong, joyful life for baby🙏🏾
Condolence for your loss and I hope you and your new baby are safe and sound. Pregnancy should really be a private time, but it is made so uncomfortably public. Anything can happen right up to the last minute but everyone assumes.
It feels like 90% of YT birth stories are all about how natural birth is best and I honestly just want an epidural. I love hearing your perspective especially considering your vocation is OB 💕
That birth was amazing to watch. The whole birth team looked so confident in their role. Like everyone was in control and knew what they needed to do. Love it! Congratulations Sarah and Kurt. You’re little girl is just beautiful
Aww thank you so much. Our birth team was AMAZING and we trusted them wholeheartedly--something that I think is critical when picking out your OB!!
@@TheDoctorsBjorkmanat big hospitals even if you pick your OB there’s no guarantee they’ll be in that day because there’s so many doctors 😭I’ve already been told multiple times there’s a good chance my OB I’ve seen the whole time won’t be there and it’s someone I’ve never met. So not always the case
Love this! As a postpartum nurse, I do feel like there is a hierarchy in the sub-specialties of OB (with postpartum being at the bottom). I love how she says that it doesn’t stop when baby is out and that postpartum is also important in the pregnancy timeline. It’s SO important to educate and support moms (and dads) in this transition
Postpartum nurses are awesome! Thank you for taking care of us and our babies ❤️❤️
maternal morbidity and mortality has RISEN STEEPLY in the usa over the past two decades due to crazy overuse of inductions and c sections.
If there's something I've loved up till this point of their journey is how they've been very honest about their struggles despite having college education on pregnancy and babies. As an anxious person it relieves me to know than no matter how much you research the experience itself is unique and it is better to be flexible and open as the adventure pregresses. Love this channel, thank you for giving us medical info and human insight about bringing a new life to this world ♥
Appreciate how candid you both are about the struggles and joys of birth and immediately postpartum. Its a wild wild ride. Filming and editing videos like this must be extremely time consuming (even without a new baby). I'm sure it also comes with a lot of unsolicited opinions and criticism. Hats off to you for sharing your experiences in this vulnerable time. You all are doing amazing.
Thank you so much! It is a WILDDDD ride with a very steep learning curve. We felt that we have learned so much, even as physicians, and hope that by sharing other people feel a little like they know what to expect/are prepared to buckle up for what is coming lol
I am Doctor as well, 26 weeks today. I really appreciated your honesty in this video guys. Thanks so much for sharing. Congratulations by starting this new, amazing journey and respecting your own needs during birth and parenting. The baby is so gorgeous. See u guys on your next video
poi: you are a PHYSICIAN unless you have a PhD, hun. saying you're a "doctor" is like saying your a "miss". that's a title, not an occupation. and unless you have an actual *doctorate*, as in graduate ed, then you are not "dr" anybody. check out 'rockefeller medicine' to learn how all this came about.
doctor isn't capitalized, and it's not an occupation. do you mean physician? anyone can claim to be that online. and it really doesn't matter. most women know more about this topic than your average white coat.
@@wildaf9519 The right word in english is physician you are right. But does it matter? I am brazilian physician working and living in Norway. I agree many women have alot of knowledge on this subject. But is also space and need for the work we do. And I think this channel provides alot of good information.
@@wildaf9519 Why are you correcting her grammar especially capitalization? If your comment isn't grammatically correct? 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ Just saying!
@raquelleao
Keep up the good work! I like your kind, sincere, and positive comments 😊🙏🏼💞
Just watched this at 27 weeks and I have to say that as soon as I heard her come out screaming I started sobbing and it totally lasted through the end of the video. What a beautiful and amazing experience and thank you both so much for sharing this journey with us.
My husband said when my first little girl his first baby was born " oh my God look her eye are open already" 😂he was raised in and on a farm 💕 bless your heart sweetheart. She's not a puppy.
I’m watching this while in the hospital getting ready to have my baby boy ☺️
Wishing you a safe delivery☺️
Wishing you a safe delivery☺️
Congratulations. Hope you have a safe delivery and healthy baby.
How is he?
Lucky u!!!😘
I wish I could pull my baby myself like what she did.. God is so amazing!
He sure is!
Please talk more about breastfeeding. All the information you have learned.
Yes pleaseee
So beautiful to see dad's emotions while holding his new baby!!
I am so grateful for your authentic story. I have watched all of your videos. You have made balanced, factual videos that have helped to inform me. I'm an expectant first time Dad. Mother is at 36 weeks. Thank you for not going with the usual UA-cam sensationalism. Very refreshing
“He did this to you. I should get to hold the baby first.” 😂😂😂
The man does not DO anything to the woman. When they have intercourse, the man does not ejaculate a developed a Baby. He only ejaculates sperm.She then delivers the baby.
The very important egg, in this whole equation, is fertilized by his sperm. The union of the two causes conception.
She conceives in her womb. The baby grows in her womb . She is then pregnant. The man is never pregnant.
But the husband often acts like a spoiled bsb C when his wife is pregnant and give birth. He tries to get everyone to feel sorry for him. He needs to fall back and let his wife be the woman. You know how you people, shame wives all the time and tell wives to not nag and let him be a man?
Well it goes both ways. ..so now let us tell husbands to let her be the woman....and tell him to stop whining and nagging during her pregnancy and chilfbirth.
Let your wife explain HER pregnancy and birth. Stop interrupting.
@@Kcorrr Everyone knows that, it’s a joke. You seem like you’re fun at parties 😂
He did not do this to her. She got herself pregnant as a result of them having intercourse. She conceives.
You people give men the wrong brag, the wrong credit.
A man can not get a woman pregnant
..because the man does not ejaculate an already formed baby, into her womb. He Brings a sperm that's all, and she brings an egg. It is an act that is complete.
Get some knowledge people.learn biology. Stop saying the same worn out sentence, that lies and that elevates s man, saying a man supposedly gets a woman pregnant. He does not . He can not.
@@Kcorrr bro what is wrong with you…
@@Kcorrr bro relax & learn to take a joke
I love how you share the perfect imperfections of being new parents. Remember it's worth every sleepless moment, every labor pain, the privilege we are given to be parents to a precious child are worth every moment of stress the little stinkers throw out direction. Just remember they don't come with care instructions and none of us are perfect.
This is so beautiful! Sitting here tearing up at 16 weeks pregnant haha. Love seeing both the medical side and "regular person" side of you both.. congratulations!!!
Congrats im 19 weeks tomorrow :)
same here!! i’m 16 weeks 1 day! watching this like I CANT WAIT TILL NOVEMBER!!!
Congrats! I'm expecting my 4th girl in less than 4 weeks. Epidurals are amazing and im in awe of those who do it without. My labors thankfully are quick, my first was 5 hours, second was 4 hours and third was 2.5 hours. Recovery also gets better with each one so I hope this one is quick and recovery is great.
I am 22 weeks pregnant and I cried when I saw your baby girl make her way into your arms for the first time, I can't wait to meet my baby boy and experience that moment myself!
Me too! I’m right behind you by 2 weeks.
Awesome, congratulations! I’ve been leaning toward a non-medicated birth, but watching this made me want an epidural! So peaceful and joyful.
You do whatever feels best for you & baby in the moment. I just wanted to say, Ive had both & my unmediated births were so much more rewarding. I felt I had control of my body. No one had to tell me what was happening & recovery was a hundred times easier. However, the “ring of fire” does suck. Lol
I had two unmedicated births and would Not recommend it.
@@ashjankins960 same! Unmedicated for me. With the epidural, you miss out on a lot ❤
Just saw this and you’re a champ. Everything looked like it went very smoothly. 3 years later congrats 🎉
17 weeks along here and watching her come into the world and you guys meeting her for the first time. I am bawling! I cannot wait for this moment. Thank you for sharing!!
Congratulations! We are due in another 56 days (who's counting? Not us). As a half-physician couple (me physician, him fintech) we love your no nonsense and real videos. My husband loves that you make things easy to understand and I love your insight into the system now as a patient. Can't wait for the next one.
Congratulations again.
Who doesn’t need a obgyn as a friend to hug you after she delivered your baby, I literally felt that friendship between the two of you, that 🥺was such a beautiful moment May God bless your beautiful family,💖💖💙
Thank you so much. Blessings to you as well!! It was really a magical day and I am so thankful our sweet girl arrived safely. And it was extra fun to have one of my besties be there to catch her!!
Congratulations! I appreciate his honesty on her appearance becasue I've been looking at my baby's face in the ultrasound and I get it. People get mad if you don't right away say a baby is " cute." But honesty she is adorable! Thank you for both of your works.
I’m currently 38w+1d and want to thank you. As I anxiously await my little girls arrival, you’ve helped ease my tensions so much. Just hearing that an OB/GYN elected for the epidural puts me at ease. I’ve been hellbent on doing this without meds and beating myself up for wanting the epidural as an option. You’ve completely lifted that nonsensical worry of mine! Also- hearing that a woman who happens to be an MD also has struggles breastfeeding. My last baby (10 years ago) was bf but I struggled and then got discouraged and switched to formula quickly. I thought I was the only one struggling. Wish I had more support back then. Glad I have that support now (my amazing husband) and also videos like yours that encourage me. Thank you thank you thank you! Congratulations on your little girl!
You guys are so humble and kind and it’s so nice to see from doctors in this field. Recently found out I’m pregnant and I’ve been loving your videos!
I love how sweet and humble you are. I love having doctors who are relatable down to earth people. I don’t like doctors who seem arrogant and can’t relate to the average person.
Aw thank you Heather. We are just average, normal people who have spent a lot of time in school/training lol and we love sharing that.
I’m almost 38 weeks and this was awesome to watch ahead of what I have to expect. I don’t think my husband knows what to expect 😂 I started crying a little when she came out and started crying, what a beautiful journey
I’m so excited for you guys! I’m 22 weeks pregnant with my first child and your videos have been so helpful to me along this journey. Thank you so much for providing such great content and information!!
I just want to say you two are so awesome. Everyone is hating about social media but I think that channels like yours are absolutely priceless. It's like with food, we have access to junk food, we have access to real food, the choice is ours. Thank you so much for posting this. I know it's "old" (it's actually timeless because it becomes relevant to different people at different times) and maybe nobody will ever read this comment but still I wanted to say: thank you. Thank you for talking about the epidural. Thank you for talking about the feelings, it made me tear up, I also don't know how I'll be feeling. Thank you for talking about the difficulties and the humbling things you (even you!) didn't know or didn't expect. It's so empowering to hear that. I've rewatched this video a few times already and here watching it again as I'm mentally preparing for labor and facing my fears of both labor and what comes after. Bless you and THANK YOU
I love your videos!!!! I’m currently 34 weeks pregnant and in the era of influencers, the open and honest information/tips you’re providing as doctors is invaluable. Congrats on your baby!!! Looking forward to your postpartum tips ❤️🙏🏾
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your experience. It means the world to so many women especially coming from a OBGYN.. It means alot to me as i prepare for the birth of my little one. Thank you.
I’m now preggy for my first Baby and I’m really scared of how I will overcome this journey. But your videos makes me gain more confident and learning about how to be strong. Thank you soooo much. 😊
Welcome! I too am a FTM, and not gonna lie, the thought of giving birth crossed my mind at first and I was terrified. But yes, we’ve got people who’ve made videos like this that totally help. Get educated, read a few books. That’s what I’ve been doing, and you’ll be fine.
Same here. FTM and 33 weeks. Scared but super excited!
I love how supportive you are of each other. Congratulations 🎊 to you both. ❤
"I was not having a fun time" i am so happy to find a video that isn't a UA-cam glamor video on how labor and delivery went. Full face makeup, we all know thats not how it goes. Its refreshing to see what i feel like is more relatable to what will happen. All while answering and discussing what happened and how. Thank u!!!
As an experienced mom of 9 I am glad you have had the blessing of having a child of your own. You both will be more effective specialists in your fields. I feel like there was alot more common sense parenting 30 years ago when we started our family....
I am an OBGYN (25 years in with 3000 births). I love you guys! My daughter is 34 weeks pregnant- I have recommended she and her husband watch all your videos. I also plan to bring these videos to our medical groups attention - I think our patients will love them.
Congratulations on a very beautiful birthing story doctors! 🎉
I'm 37 weeks now and waiting to meet our baby boy, exciting times! I cried seeing your baby come out.
Your family is an inspiration 😊 keep safe always 💕
11:22 when dad described the feeling…I am instantly tearing up! 24 weeks with baby number 2 and starting to mentally prepare for labor after a very rough first one that resulted in an emergency c section.
Thanks for sharing your journey! I had my first one over 17 years ago. We have been going through IVF for a year and half now, and fortunately have a successful transfer the second time, we are now little over 5 weeks pregnant.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Seeing baby being born and getting delivered straight to mommy's arms is such a bliss. 26 weeks pregnant here, and hoping to have the same luck soon. Wishing all the hapiness to this beautiful family 💕
I can't thank you both enough for sharing your birth journey with us. as a partner, one of my biggest concerns is making sure that my wife feels heavily supported and encouraged and listening to your knowledge has helped me tremendously to have a better understanding of what to do, expect, things to ask, etc.😀
I find it so beautiful that your sister was able to help catch your baby!!! Priceless!
My husband is like you/ yours & they are rare to come by! I'm so blessed. I feel so sorry for all the single moms having to raise a child alone, but especially a newborn! Even with his support it was HARD!
Idk if it’s the pregnancy hormones, but I definitely cried watching this!!😭😭
Awww what an amazing delivery! I can’t wait to meet my girl! 8 weeks until my due date! Also, I laughed so hard “man she’s really ugly” 😂 love that! Happy for you both!
Thank you! I am so excited for you to meet your little girl--those 8 weeks are going to fly by! And yes lol, be prepared, you may not think she's super adorable right away, but you will still love her more than anything!!!
As a retired nurse it was my pleasure to listen to your video. Thank you for sharing. I chuckled a couple of times. I think it's awesome that as Dr.s you are sharing & admit something's are not easy. Your precious daughter is adorable. Enjoy this time as it goes quickly. I am a new sub & excited to follow your journey.. may God bless your family with many wonderful memories.
I am 30 weeks and it is magical to watch. Pregnant with our first babygirl, I found your channel with the hospital hag video and I'm here to stay. I probably will be induced at 38w due to baby having cpam in the left lung she's doing better thank God. I am so nervous and omg you made it seem so easy compared to other delivery videos🤣 congrats to your little family guys 👨👩👧💕
Jessenia!! I am so glad you found us! Congrats on your little babe. We will be sending all of the good vibes for a smooth labor for you and an amazing team to take care of you and your little one. CPAM is a scary diagnosis so we will be praying that she is a strong little fighter!! I actually have a friend who just had a baby boy with CPAM and after a few weeks in the NICU they are home doing great. Will hope your daughter's course is similar. Keep us posted!!
I'm so happy when i found your channel, pregnant with my 1st, 29 weeks currently and i feel like after follow all your video, I'm ready ❤️
Are you due in August? I just checked in 30wks today...it’s also my first.
@@LaGoKenyane yes 17/8 , we will be fine
I just had my boy last Wednesday on the 19th! Congratulations
Congratulations Darling! I have to wait till end of December 💪
same my bday!! may 19
Congratulations on the new baby girl 🥳! I’m a doula and currently expecting my 4🤰🏿! I’ve never had an epidural but I do understand the women who do! I love watching birth stories 😍! It definitely is a learning curve, especially as a first time mom. That’s why I started my channel because I feel like certain topics don’t get talked about enough. Specifically postpartum which in my opinion is way harder than pregnancy. Thanks for sharing ❤️!
Wow. I’ve been watching these videos from you guys for a while now to prepare and I have to say the rawness of showing your delivery put me at so much ease. Like just seeing someone talk about and show us exactly what that moment looked like and felt like made this all seem less scary. I keep saying thank you but I honestly can’t thank you both enough for your channel. It’s just easing so much of my anxiety on my pregnancy journey. ❤
What a beautiful story and the fact that you guys are Dr's makes it ao much more heartwarming and beautiful! I literally couldn't stop crying since the part of the photo before little girl was born! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ soooo beautiful to see everything and all of the emotions pour out! Soooo wholesome 😇😊
This is so sweet. I love that she sleeps on your side of the bed and you wake up and join in on the feedings. I know my fiancé will not be doing this but it brought tears to my eyes that you work as a family to do night feedings ❤. Thank GOD I have my mom 😂
"Yeah I'm not that sore" didn't get the love it deserved lol
I actually laughed out loud when he dropped that little gem of a line 😂😂
🤣
I laughed.
I loved labor and delivery in the early days of my career as an RN. The moment I met you two, the first thing I thought was what beautiful blue eyes you both have! And your daughter is going to be a little blue eyed doll! The last 18 years of my career I was an ob-gyn nurse practitioner and I looked forward to the 6 week post partum visit when ladies I had seen prenatally would bring the baby along. What a joy! I am subscribing to your channel at once.
A0
I love your honesty, especially as it goes to show that all new parents have a learning curve…whether doctors or not lol. You guys are great! Congrats! She is beautiful ❤️
I also thought my newborn was ugly in the first hour of birth haha - I’ve never admitted that aloud! Then, it was all 😍😍😍
Mine had me so sick the whole pregnancy I could barely eat. So when he was born, he didn't have any baby fat on his body, at all. My first impression was He was kinda creepy looking at first. So that was my first thought about mine. :)
He's healthy looking now. He eat a lot as soon as he was out.
The vernix is always super gross to me. Nervous I’ll feel like throwing up or my husband won’t want to get it on his clothes cause he’s a neat freak lol. 😅
Im only 7 weeks and high risk for misscariage and all sorts of complications and still watching this video with joy☀️
I hope you’ll make it till the end safe you and your baby
I am an NNP and I'm getting induced on Sunday and it's great to see this as someone who also sees a lot of births. You made me feel reassured. 😀
I agree receiving epidural was life changing! The pain was so exhausting! I did not slept for 2 days, I was on and off to hospital, they cannot admit me because I wasn’t 5-6cm yet. But when I finally, after a long wait, went back to the hospital with 6cm dilation, got my epidural, made me slept, and relaxed, had a nice nap and was energized for the pushing part. I had an amazing labor nurse too!
why am I crying so much!! I am currently 26 weeks pregnant & this was such a informative video. Thank you!
The little hunger cues she was showing in the side video of her at the time stamp @11:05 on this video was so adorable!! Some babies have the same hunger cues but do it slightly different and I love how it’s a natural, God given occurrence that babies just know how to do, it’s awesome! Babies, our little humans, are awesome!!
EDIT: Breastfeeding is just different for everyone. It does take patience and lots of practice for baby and mother. If you get frustrated the baby will feel that and get frustrated also and vice versa. I was in the hospital for three days when I had my son, no one guided me or helped me with breastfeeding, it was much different 28 years ago then it is now. I was just expected to do it myself so that I did, I at least tried. After the colostrum I didn’t produce any milk and I had no idea my baby wasn’t getting fed. I’m forever grateful for my OB/GYN bc he’s the one that figured it out and told me that I had to put my baby on formula. It is okay when you can’t breastfeed for whatever the reason. I think it needs to be talked about more so that women won’t feel like bad mothers if they can’t breastfeed.
Would you please make a video about pushing? Watching you push was incredible. No fear, full of joy, and very effective. I’m expecting a baby now and I was so inspired by your pushing technique. Hope you can make a video on the subject.
Thanks for all your videos. I’ve learned a lot.
My baby is due in less than 2 weeks. This made me cry. It makes me so excited to get to that moment when I'll meet my baby girl. Interesting watch you guys look at it from a different perspective despite being doctors in this field too.
Me too!! 39 weeks, we are just about to meet our little girl and I just cried watching this, can't wait to live this experience.
My baby was born at 33 weeks 6 days and it took two hours of pushing! My first thought was OMG her head is shaped like a cone!!! It did go back to a head shape but your husband’s comment made me laugh & think I’m not the only one who had these thoughts. I’m a single mum and my daughter is now twenty two, training to be a teacher and the absolute love & light of my life 🥰 xxx
Yes postpartum world is a whole another journey and no one gets it until their body has been through it. Your husband seems like a real blessing! I have four girls 👧🏻 👧🏻 👧🏻 👧🏻 (11.5, 8.5, 5.5 years and a seven day old newborn!) I’m so glad to hear of your sharing this information with other moms and moms to be! Ive breastfed all my babies and I’m still learning things this time around! Also I’m SO HAPPY FOR YOU to have gotten and epidural! I had to birth all my children naturally (no pain meds) while being induced with the dreaded PITOCIN. And man let me tell you, I’m SO GLAD I never have to birth another baby again!!!!!! Talk about pain. I’m so glad there are women out there that don’t have to go through all the pain of having a baby. I’m glad you had a super awesome experience! I delivered all my children vaginally, without meds, and with pitocin & I am telling you I’d not wish that one anyone. But it can be done, just LOTS of pressure and pain past the 6/7cm mark. This time I made it to 6cm without feeling too bad. I asked for one dose of staidol at 6.5cm and that’s all I was allowed, because she was born at 5:06 pm and the saltaidol was given at around 3:50pm
P.S. congratulations 🎉 on your little one! I know she’s almost a year, but I didn’t find this channel until after I became pregnant with my baby girl in late June/early July.
THANK YOU! amen I knew if epidural were that bad Dr wouldn't offer them in the first place thank you ,for confirming my thoughts ,( yes of course ask you own Dr.) I just get tired of people getting shammed for needing pain control , you are not weak! GETTING PAIN control keeps you in control so you can remember everything about having that beautiful baby 💕💕
My husband and I have female and male factor infertility and just started the IVF process. I've found your videos and have enjoy so many of them!! I've loved watching you on this journey
You literally pulled your baby out of you. You really are an inspiration!!
Thanks to your videos I have gained the courage to have a natural birth. Baby girl due in December 👶🏻❤️
As mothers we all have our own challenges. Breastfeeding has been a piece of cake for me with all three of my babies (18 months each). BUT birth was so hard for me (1 csection, 1 VBAC vacuum, and one non medicated natural. Pregnancy was horrific and got worse each time. 2 of my babies were hospitalized for hemoglobin disease. Postpartum anxiety, depression, and PTSD all on my charts. Never compare yourself to other moms. Your challenges and journey are/is valid. Congrats on the little one. You all are awesome and perfect!
Just watching the expressions on your faces seeing your baby for the first time was so beautiful 😭 I cannot wait to see the look on my husband's face when he holds our son. I'm 33 weeks and due Feb 26th (rainbow baby). Congrats on your now two babies! Love your videos and this channel😊
Such a heartwarming video! Thank you so much for sharing. I am myself in the middle of 12th week and it was such a joy to watch this - I've cried and laughed and smiled through the whole video and I can't wait to meet my little one next year ❤️
Congratulations! Breastfeeding is so much harder than you think it's going to be! I regret not going to a lactation consultant earlier - she helped me fix the latch and work on some different holds that helped us nurse past his first birthday.
What an authentic video. Thank you all for sharing your journey and keep up the great work. My wife is 32wks today so I have been watching u guys video on how to take care of this little nugget when she arrives.❤️
I’m an OB/Gyn/L&D/newborn/NICU RN and work with breastfeeding moms & babies daily. Breastfeeding is easy for nobody, whether pediatrician, doctor, or experienced mother of 5. I attest to this from the many doctors and nurses I have as patients, and those I work with. Some people may work out their problems sooner than others, and some may give up more easily in frustration. My mother breast-fed us until we were nearly in kindergarten. I knew I was going to breastfeed and read every book on the subject, anticipating joy. It was NOT joyful! But it was a learning experience and definitely worth it in the end.
That is the most easy going and painless looking birth I’ve ever seen lol
Your labor is so beautiful! Made me cried 😭
Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed. It has been fun to be able to look back on that day and re-live our joy!!
I’m 17 weeks pregnant and this is very emotional and very real , congratulations on your beautiful baby girl . Love watching your videos I learn so much, for me to be a first time mom I’m excited mostly 😊😇
Congrats mama! 17 weeks--you're almost halfway done! Thank you for following along with us on our journey! I am so glad it's helpful, and we are so glad you are here with us!!
Thank you guys so much for sharing. I am 4.5 weeks so your journey is helping so much in my own journey! God bless you guys and your beautiful girl!
Congratulations!!! 🥰She is beautiful!!!
Thank you for sharing your experiences and special moments.
I’ve had my 12th week scan, all looking great. We have battled with infertility for 8 years, had 4 miscarriages, 4 ivfs, lots of tests, medications.. I have pcos, also Endometriosis, immunological issues and blood clotting issues. This pregnancy came really unexpectedly as I started down regulation for 5th Ivf, 10 days later I found out I was pregnant.🥳 just two days before my 40th birthday. It feels still surreal. I am doing an immune monitoring & treatment and taking daily Aspirin and anticoagulant injections…
Dying when you said your first thought was that she was kind of ugly….😂😂😂😂 just speaking the truth. She’s so sweet and watching this video was the cutest. Thanks for sharing with everyone. Such a special moment.
Omg i cant stop crying!! Im due on sept with my first baby and sacreeeeed! Many blessings 💖
Same here!!!
Nothing to fear. I've been there with the 1st.
you guys are SO CUTE. watching Kurt talk about bondng with his daughter: so sweet. i will be showing to my VERY competitive doctor partner just so he knows how high the bar has been set.
Really very full of emotions, I had tears to watch and live these moments with you !
Thank you so much for this video. Detailed, calm, positive, no dramatizations of the pain, no shame or stigma about taking pain relief, informative and clear. I am giving birth for the first time in June and I definitely have a propensity towards overthinking, anxiety, and worrying about a low pain tolerance. But this video helped so so so so much. I’m going to watch this at least once every week. 😂
Her first scream sounded like “Mama!” How precious. What a lucky baby to have warm, loving and smart parents. ♥️
You are both humble, amazing and dedicated doctors. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Super sweet and super fun delivery
You are so kind. Thank you!
I’m due for a c section in 6 days and when your baby girl came out I could not stop crying! What a beautiful experience for you all, and thank you so much for taking us along. So glad everything worked out with no complications. Best to you guys, love your videos! ❤️
Hoping everything went well!!!
@@ItsPeij Thank you so much! Baby and I are at home and doing well! The funny thing is I was not crying at my own delivery- I think my adrenaline of being in the operating room getting the c section overcame me! But once my baby was in my arms and we were safely rolled out to the recovery room I just couldn’t help but think what a little miracle he is… thank you again for your kind words! 🥰
You're making me laugh. "I'm so tired, it's so much work!" "We're happy..soooo..happy!" "Babies are alot of work...but so worth it!" "We are happy..sooo happy!" Y'all are the best! Congratulations! This helps so much!
Hahahaha. SO many feelings and emotions. Love is the overwhelming one, but there's also tiredness/anxiety/joy/fear/happiness/wonder/etc. Hope to normalize all of it by sharing. :)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this made me laugh so hard !
thank you both for all the tips u give us I'm currently 27 weeks with 2 days and soon I will need all this tips . love how humble you both are.. thank you I appreciate it. also congratulations and your bundle of joy.
Wow, my due date is today. I hope my labour is as calm and supportive as yours. Congratulations!
I’m 9 weeks, and this is my third baby. I’m sitting here while you talk about learning to breastfeed thinking to myself that I don’t even know how to do it after nursing my first two. Yay for lactation consultants!
