- In this video I explain how I help my body recover after having a baby, from labor recovery to working out and getting back into shape.
Here is a link to a video that describes how to do exercises to pull your stomach muscles back together or repair a Diastasis Recti by working out your transverse muscles.

Here is another video that is similar but goes into a little more detail.

I’m one of 17 children. My parents have been married for 46 years. After I was born, they only had home births because- well, they were pro’s at that point! I love your channel! Please make more videos, they very much remind me of growing up in my big family ❤️
Curious, how did your parents manage dividing their time among all of their children? I've always wondered how that would affect a big family such as yours.
You should do a mom exercise video showing your workout routine!
Yes please! Would be awesome to see how you manage weight, after my third baby I just can't get back to my goal weight
Thanks for this video. I'm enjoying stumbling upon your channel. As a mom of 7, I really enjoy hearing how other moms of large families handle things. God bless.
15 kids, you are definitely doing this correctly.
I would actually love a whole prep video for home births if that’s what your planning. Instead of a what’s in my bag video a what’s on my birth table video would be awesome !!
I trained myself to hold my muscles together, just as you said, most of my day, by wearing a fitted shirt. I am reminded by my belly constantly to keep it tight! 😉 Healed up so fast my midwife wondered how it happened!
I wish I could have a huge family! I have always wanted a big family..I am blessed with a little boy who is 7 now and a little girl who is a miracle that is will be 1 on January 12th! Both times being pregnant where good, especially with my son I enjoyed being pregnant and I did as well with my daughter i just got more miserable with her towards the end but nothing terrible!...I had terrible delivery complications though..so bad they told me I should never get pregnant again and have another baby it would be harmful to us both..I had a miscarriage before my daughter. I definitely hold both my kids tight I am beyond blessed to have these 2 precious angels! I have thought of fostering or adopting! Bless you all! 😇💙💜💛
Idk how I got here on UA-cam but I am so amazed!! I can't wait to watch your video on laundry. My grandma had 11 pregnancies and she maintained a pretty healthy uterus and small abdomen. Shockingly her pelvic floor is great at her 89 years of life. I wish I asked her about tips when she remembered. Thank you so much for sharing, it's priceless information.
Girl, you are killing it!!! Let alone having 14 (almost 15) kids that's awesome!! I am 6 months pp from my 3rd child and you have inspired me!!
Do you breastfeed your babies? And if so for how long?
Really appreciate this perspective there are not many home birth friendly videos out there.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with the UA-cam community. Would love to see video about how you go out with multiple little ones for errands or short trips. Thanks for your videos!
Mom of 4. These are grea tips! We can learn so much from other families. Looking forward to more.
I love how proactive you are in your postpartum recovery, it’s truly inspiring ♥️♥️♥️
YOU ROCK !!! I just found your channel and am amazed. You’re such a sweet soul. Peace ✌🏼
We call it Pelvic Floor exercises in Australia 🇦🇺 All the best to you and your beautiful family.x
That's a great tip about the abdominal muscles I had no idea about that!
Once again.. You're a boss lady!! ❤️❤️❤️
I never used a belly band. I used a girdle panti. I loved it. It kept things tight and helped keep those horse pads in the right place.
lol horse pads.. no joke 😩
I would love to learn how you do the morning and bedtime routine in your family too!
Thank you so much for your explanation of how to bring your muscles back together. I just had my 4th and suffered prolapse after a traumatic posterier delivery. Explaining the feeling and gow to bring the muscles together is so helpful as I hope to have several more babies! 😊
Belly binding is traditional with Hispanics where I live. They will bind with towels.
Some people dehydrate the placenta. There are people who do this as a job. Then it is ground up and put in capsules.
Great tips! Thank you!!
Yes please thank you! I've struggled so much with loosing my baby weight...
This is so interesting. I have never heard of a lot what you talked about! Thanks for sharing. New subscriber.
Wow everyone is different . I find having this many kids is totally scary. And I wonder why you would want to do this so many times? One was very changing for me. Good luck with your family. If you can physically and mentally pull this off that is surely a blessing. ☮️💕
All that you do to take care of yourself is giving you fabulous results, you look phenomenal...and you look early-30's but that can't be right with children in their 20's. I've learned the most from you about what it's like after having a baby than I've ever heard from anyone else....I had two C-Sections and wouldn't know a contraction from heartburn, so it was all rather fascinating to me.
How do you keep your home so clean? I have 6 kids and I'm wishing I can see my floors from wall to wall.
Yes please as many videos on this as you can!! :)
I also have 6 kids🙂. Decluttering is my best friend lol. I enjoy The Minimal Mom here on youtube. She refers to everything as inventory that has to be managed. I realized I had to much inventory and started pairing down. It's made a world of difference and now we have our house up for sale and the house is show ready or 15 min from show ready at all times. Maybe that is somehow helpful? Idk but it's my only tip.
Watch her most recent house tour! As she goes thru the house you can see how she keeps things organized. Personal responsibility for the kids is key!
@@alishajennings2013 yes, Minimal Mom is the best!
Thank you so much. I am 6months pregnant with my first one and really appreciate your channel and this video especially. 🤗
I learnt so much - thank you for your videos. Looking forward to more!
Great video, thank you! I would love a "day in the life" video :)
Would you be able to do a video on your hair care and makeup routine for mom of many? You look so good and I know you’re busy so how do you do it?! Also, random question, do you have a bit of a Pennsylvania Dutch accent or something else? I’m just curious what I’m hearing ! So glad you’re making more videos (watched your laundry video and was sad there weren’t more homemaking videos!!!) 💛
Can you do more videos on budgeting and grocery hauls .
Also can you please do a video on how to do school pick up and drops with 15 kids
So inspiring!
You're a marvellous lady.
You are super woman! 💗 I usually start a very light workout at 8-12 weeks. Love your channel. I'm a new subscriber.
Thank you!
my body was so messed up after just one birth that I needed reconstructive surgery a couple years after to correct the damage. I don't know how you ladies have so many children.
Russian manual medicine can help to position internal organs to their places. I went there because of back pain and the doctor explained that when I'll give birth I must come again so he will position the uterus and other organs to the right places.
Would love to see part 2 of this about diet. You are truly an inspiration! +JMJ+
Hoping to see that diet and exercise video soon...
Are you still going to do a video about diet and nutrition? I am pregnant with my fifth five and under and have never heard of most of these tips. I would love to hear more!
I'd love to hear your advice too Nancy on pregnancy nutrition and if and how you deal with pregnancy nausea. Mine is severe and it undermines my food choices because it's survival mode with the nausea for half the pregnancy!💕
Are you thinking about having more children?
And if you don't mind me asking how old are you? You look very young and beautiful, for having 15 children! You are truly amazing! God bless you.
Thank You! I do hope that I can have more children, and I am 39 years old.
@@RealMomRealSolutions It's amazing that your still willing to have more. 😊👍 I would love to some day have a big family too.
@@RealMomRealSolutions I'm 40 and plan to continue as long as I can, too! Praying for 5 more in the next 5 years🙏❤️.
Eating the placenta is totally a thing! I’ve heard great benefits.
I would love to know how you care for new babies daily with all the other kiddos. Do you baby wear? Also wondering about kids daily routines. Brushing teeth, doing hair etc. do they do themselves?
Super tips, love you! I find the easiest way to lose weight is by being vegan. I have 3 kids, gained 20 kg during each pregnancy, but then within 6-12m after birth went back to being my 55 kg weight. It's easy, long-term and great for health (and I eat lots of healthy carbs).
gained 18kilos here, 11 months post partum with a strict vegan diet I still can't get the last 3 kilos off. I couldn't breastfeed though, so that likely doesn't help.
Great tips! I find that yoga works well with my body. I have had right low back pain since my third baby - she was over 10 pounds. I can’t seem to overcome it, but yoga does help a lot with that, along with my mood. Highly recommend! I’m noticing a hint of an accent, maybe Wisconsin or Canadian. Or maybe I’m way off 😆
@@cb.1212 😂
The accent, it's Utah! ❤️
@@thebannings6176 I would never have guessed that! Lol
Yes! The low back pain kicked in after my 5th.
The transversus abdominus exercises (tone and tighten yt channel)
Took them away. Having a weak TA stressed out my back.
There's hope!
You mentioned shakes that you drink, do you have a specific mixture of milk and strawberry etc?
I’ve worked in OB for years. Your uterus instinctively knows where to go. It can’t go to the wrong place. Just FYI
I think you're misunderstanding what she's saying. After you give birth the top of your uterus is at your belly button or right below it(before it shrinks and is completely back into pelvis) she's saying she pushes down on it to move it where it belongs. There have been women whose uteruses haven't instinctively shrunk back to normal, who have tipped backwards, etc..
She may not be saying the correct words, but after 14 babies, in pretty sure she knows about her uterus and aftercare.

Thanks for clarifying that, and I just wanted to briefly mention that it’s more comfortable to be functional with the belly band while the swelling goes down and your body does it’s thing, going back into place.
It was kind of the same concept for my reproductive lap surgery, just on a much smaller scale as my lap was a minor outpatient excision procedure.
I haven’t had a cesarean and it’s a major surgery, so I’d have a hard time recommending that without your ob’s recommendation.
Actually after my 5th baby my uterus tilted to the left while it was clamping down and it was quite uncomfortable.
Your uterus absolutely can return slightly tilted or shifted causing fertility issues in the future, also what about prolapse? How would that happen if it always goes back to where it’s supposed to be?
@@alaciadavis4287 Uterine prolapse occurs when weakened or damaged muscles and connective tissues such as ligaments allow the uterus to drop into the vagina. Common causes include pregnancy, childbirth, hormonal changes after menopause, obesity, severe coughing and straining on the toilet.
As a nursing mother this much activity so soon was never a real option for me. My supply would drop. How do you keep your supply up or do you formula feed?
I’m a nursing mom and I’m curious about this because I don’t see a difference in supply when i start exercising. Everyone is different I guess!
Just found your videos! Can we do a video on meeting all of your kids? This is super cool! And a video about your daily routine like,morning? (: Thanks! New sub!
Very interesting!!!!!💙❤
Trying to get in shape for before trying for baby 3. So that I can keep the good habits during pregnancy 😂 hopefully.
Hello thanks fo sharing, can you make a video on how you do the towel and fix your uterus please
Yes I was wanting the same thing!
Yes I want to know as well. 💕
Do you exercise and follow a diet while pregnant?
Eating your placenta is super badass I am impressed!
My recovery compared when I ate my placenta vs when I didn’t was huge. I don’t know if it’s mental or not but honestly if it works, who cares!
I had the same response to my encapsulated placentas. Makes a big difference.
Bengkung belly wrap is the best
Which belly band are u using now and do u like it 😉
What happens if your placenta is bad or changed, because the water changed in the course of pregnancy... for example baby stays longer in the womb than the calculated birth date ? Have you ever added extra vitamin capsules while taking in your placenta or only your placenta???
do you count calories or cut out certain food groups in your diet??
Or do you eat in moderation??
Ladies, we can help each other out. We are supposed to be horizontal for 2 weeks after giving birth to help stop the blood flow. Please bring meals and coordinate meal trains to your neighbors so that your new mommy friends can work on establishing breastfeeding. We go for light walks as a family in the early weeks. Help babysit older kids so that new moms can recover. And I second her idea of the belly band, I have a Japanese 40 ft long piece of fabric that I wrap around my belly postpartum day 3.
I've never had help not the luxary to lay down after a baby for two weeks. I'm back to my usual routine after a week. And I'm in #5. All bodies, all situations are different. I've never had any issues post partum with bleeding. 💗
I personally found being up and about soon after giving birth kept my bleeding time short. I was done by 3 weeks and i think it’s because i was active.
Do your babies sleep the night? How do you get up at 5 am with babies ?
Could you link a video of how to do the uterus massage??
Hi, I like your channel. How do you know where is the right place for your uterus? I would have no idea where to push it. Who taught you this?
My midwife would always pushed downward and slightly back from the top of my uterus.
Thank You! My midwife taught me how to do it
Your uterus will go back to size by itself. You don't need to do anything. It won't go back wrong. I'm a midwife.
Why do they do it in the hospital?
It doesn’t always go back into the right place so it’s best to wrap it. That’s why you see some women who aren’t even fat in any way at all, whose stomach is just poking out forever after a baby because it didn’t settle in the right place properly. It’s worth doing it because if it doesn’t settle properly, you can’t go back and fix it later.
👏
How much time do you spend working out each day?
Once I’m back to a regular workout I spend about an hour and 15 minutes which includes a warm up
oh dear ... it's been 10 years since my youngest and the stomach muscles just seem to refuse to go back to correct place. I hope something helps soon, somehow, as this is no fun. { LFC }
Did you use lotion or oil on your stomach when you were pregnant?
I slathered my back, hips and stomach with olive oil or coco butter twice a day. Don’t forget inner thighs!
How many pregnancies?
Love your channel!! I wonder if you breastfeed your babies
How old are you now?
Omg
Do you wear the belly band while you sleep?
Do you do any exercises while pregnant?
I LOVE the LoseIt app!!!!!!!!!!! 💜
My midwife said not to wear it while laying down cause it can trap the post partum bleeding and cause infections. 😉
@@annikaslife6199 good to know, thank you! :)
Do you breast feed it you do may you share what you eat to help promote a healthy life style and healthy milk production?
When you say you wake up at 5AM between 4 and 7 weeks postpartum-aren’t you up all night with your newborn?
unassisted birth or homebirth?
home birth
@@RealMomRealSolutions birth viedo?
@@RealMomRealSolutions I'm having my next home birth in 12 weeks! I loved hearing a bit of your birth stories on the Parenting Picture video. I'd love to hear all of your birth stories on UA-cam. 💗
I hope you asked your daughter's permission to share her weight story 😍
There's actually studies that show eating the placenta can worsen postpartum depression in some people
Kindly demonstrate how you massage
your uterus please...thank you
I've never heard of a mother eating her own placenta
I was thinking the same thing. Opinion about whether it is good for humans vary immensely. It is apparently eaten immediately after birth by all mammals that gave birth except humans and aquatic mammals.
To each their own. This mom looks great after seventeen kids!
They are different way to do it, some mothers take her own placenta on pills
Jesus saves
Wait..you eat your own placenta? 😳what
I can't believe you eat the placenta each to their own and never heard of that
Do you know all your kids names?
Please add the word WERE to your vocabulary. In every video I've seen, "was" is used in place of "were".
That’s kind of rude. She has bigger priorities.
Are you kidding me !?!?! Go away ......... bye bye 👋🏼
The amount of help she is doing to us all with her videos far, far outweighs any grammatical errors she might be making in her speech.
Who made you the grammar teacher??? Really???
@@kdolguin I guess the same person who taught you the English language because there are no "grammar teachers". Grammar is just a basic part of the English language that's taught in the early years of proper schooling. Unfortunately it's something her children will never know.
You are a strong woman, I’m pregnant with my 3rd and feel exhausted and sometimes frustrated. My kids are very close in age 3, almost 2 and 3months pregnant probably is part of that. 🥲
