As another momma that had a shoulder dystocia baby, you do what you feel safest with! My baby couldn’t move her arm for the first week due to hers. I don’t think some people understand how scary and dangerous it can be. Best wishes to you on your birth!
@bkessinger94 my son had it as well. I am a mimi now and we didn't get ultrasounds or anything. That child weighed 10lbs 14ozs and was 23 1/2 inches long. Very scary to have ur husband kicked out of the room and 6 ppl pushing on your belly. I already had a girl first, so I was done!
@beckyz1393 that is a big baby! My little girl was 8 pounds 7 ounces and 21 &1/2 inches, but I’m only 5’1. I was also told any future babies would need to be a c-section. My nurse who was about my height threw my 5’11 250 pound husband out of the way like he was a rag doll! Lucky for me, we had a nicu team in the room already because she had meconium and they didn’t want her to aspirate. (she was born during Covid) Later on I had a coworker try and tell me I would not need a c-section in the future and that my OB didn’t know what she was talking about. 🙄 I think I will stick with the professional recommendations for any future babies.
@mandik2050 yes he was big! I only gained 30 lbs. Now that he is an adult he is 6'4" Big guy. Our first was a girl and she was 9lbs 3 ozs. She has 2 daughters and her first baby had it. Second daughter was planned c section. It is scary. I'm happy with my two kids. They are 41 and 44..crazy how time flies.
Congratulations on the baby! I'm a C-section mama, and I highly recommend bringing a loose casual dress for postpartum/going home. The incision area is so sensitive after that you really don't want anything to touch it. Sending prayers for a safe delivery!
Yes, you are absolutely correct. It's been 21 years since I've had my last c-section. I definitely remember pants/shorts being uncomfortable. Underwear, too.
Agreed. Even my maternity pants rubbed and made my incision hurt so bad. I ended up borrowing my husband’s pants to wear home and it still was so uncomfortable. A dress or gown would have been a great idea.
L&D nurse here- shoulder dystocia is no joke! Don't worry at all about what others have to say, Abby, you are making the choice that feels right/safe for you and your baby. Can't wait to see how sweet and cute he is!
Hi Sarah, I would like your thoughts on something. I'm an RN (and MOM of 3), however, never worked L/D outside of when in School worked on the unit PT. Anyway, I thought that suggestion/tip she had about the Coconut Oil on baby's bum immediately, to prevent the case of Meconium sticking is brilliant! And I wondered why that tip is not used as a standing protocol on newborns.... I mean I'm assuming because it isn't a 'medical need', however it certainly could/would protect the integrity of the skin *(and the bonus of baby's comfort). Anyway, is there anything like that, which is incorporated for that reason?
@@sassyfras4085I just happened upon your comment, and if I may answer from my experience as a NICU nurse, we routinely use Vaseline to keep the meconium from sticking to the baby's bums. I think I was recommended that with both of my own newborns too.
Congratulations on your new upcoming baby 🎉. I felt my youngest child start to move at 10 weeks. The doctor told me that was impossible, but I know that I felt it, and was a very busy one, and when she was born she hit the ground running. She is very active and never sits still!! Always talking , jumping, fidgeting etc... car trips are always the worst , 5 min after we leave , how much longer or are we there yet. So enjoy your little bundle of energy when he comes😊
Ughh baby august is gonna be such a little sweetheart! Just like Griffin. It's so sweet how Matt is so supportive and humourous. And I love how organised and prepared Abby is, I could never 😂 Good luck and congratulations! 🥳 Can't wait to see baby Auggie!
The large panties are wonderful after a c-section. My mom gave me those while I was in hospital with my first c-section. It gave me the much needed support and didn’t make the surgical site hurt. Blessings to you and your family 😊 Yes the $40 water bottle is important ❤️
So excited!! Great job mom and dad! Griffin will be the best older brother ever. Don’t worry about the age gap they have. Me and my brother are exactly 11 months apart on the day and we are very close and I love it. Would not change it any other way.
Aww you guys are gonna be such amazing parents!!❤ praying for Little Auggie and you guys!! Can’t wait to see this little guy!!🥰 you guys are doing amazing and I hope you continue doing what you do!! 😊😊-love from California!!
Hope all went well for your delivery and you're recovering well! I'm curious when little Auggie was born as our little boy also had to be born via c section on Friday after being induced for two days, 3 hours of pushing. No one knew how big he would be for me at just under 9 pounds! Totally would've opted for c section on its own just like you Abby. You are a rockstar mom! let's do this and recover well and enjoy our sweet babies 😊 You two are such a light for many people, I know you brightened my day while being in hospital for days already. ❤️
Nipple shields were a godsend. I was so sore I would cry when my daughter nursed, no way I would have been able to continue without those!! Can’t wait to see baby boy!!
My mom had an emergency c-section with me and I can't believe how mean people were to her when they found out she had one. You are doing best decision for you and your son. Wishing you a fast and safe delivery!
Prayers for your friends in Hawaii!!!! You guys were the one of my first thoughts I’m glad the universe had different plans for you and your growing family and your back on the mainland… prayers for your C-section also!
Very happy for you both and Griffin ❤❤❤. If the due date is August 15th then they like to do the C section sometime before that date. So I’m thinking you might have already welcomed Little August!!
Previa and shoulder dystocia are two good reasons for c sections. A good mother thinks of her baby's health before the birth she wants. Good luck and congratulations 🎉
I think a great thing to bring to the hospital is a long grabber. This is great for those who can’t keep getting out of bed to pick up things that we drop, and believe me, we do drop things. It was a lifesaver for me as it took way to long to get help and besides as a retired R.N. I like to help myself.
First time C-section mamas stay 48 hours where I work. If you feel like you'd like to pump with your personal pump before going home you can definitely take your own or your hospital should have an electric pump available to mamas. I'm so happy for you and your little family!
My guess is he’s already been born! If the due date is the 15th they usually do c-sections two weeks early, so that would be August 1st. I’m so happy for you guys. I have three boys and they all came c-section. You got this mama. Your going to do great!! Your boys are going to be the best of friends. 💙
Yall are my comfort channel ive been watching you guys since i was pregnant you made me feel alot better about being a new mom. So excited for auggie😊😊
Wow how times have changed! ALL that stuff to go have a baby. No judging just very different from when way back I went to have babies. I love how organized you are and can't wait to meet new sweet baby.
Second time mom here! One unplanned c-section and one planned. I never brought anything extra for me to breastfeed. Used whatever the hospital had 😊 congratulations on that sweet new baby❤
Congratulations on baby August Jacob Howard. August and Griffin are loved so much!❤ You and Matt are AMAZING parents! I hope the delivery goes smoothly!
You know what I also packed for my bag, I got the travel fill up bottles from the travel section of Walmart for my shampoo and conditioner. We have the same due dates 😊 so we’ll hopefully be welcoming our babies similar times* hope you have a quick healthy delivery wether that be the natural or C section! Good luck 🍀
I'm gonna be honest with u I love watching ur videos they saved me in dark dark times whenever u have a video/short I always watch it as fast as I can I will never stop watching u no matter what u do never quit keep up the amazing work
congratulations again! definitely pack and use the c section recovery band, its a lifesaver. your own pillow and don't forget a pillow and blanket for Matt (hospital sometimes doesn't have extra ones or good ones).. maybe some easy fruit to eat and stay hydrated. and you can use the coconut oil on the nips too as a lube if you're pumping and its safe for baby :) you don't have to take your pump and just in case there's issues and you need it maybe someone can grab it for you later with a couple bottles. good luck!!! and sound machine is a genius idea to carry
Just a quick suggestion. I love the nursing pillow when the baby is about 6 weeks you can put a blanket on the floor throw the nursing pillow down, then put the baby on his tummy with his arms over the edge propping him up, then put a mirror in front of him. Independent Playtime for an hour.
I just had our second daughter Liberty August 1st when I was 36 weeks I started having mild contractions and 2 cm dilated I just felt extremely uncomfortable and tight my obgyn had me come into the hospital to be induced July 29th and she came the next day weighing 5 pounds 3 ounces she was born on August 1st which is my husband's and I 3 year wedding anniversary she is most precious gift we could have ever received just know that you got this and you're going to do great you are a amazing Mom 😊
Bring a "cough" pillow.. C sections hurt, dont rush the recovery. I've had 3. Advil worked great as a pain killer for me. Pillow also feels good when you can put the pillow against your tummy and then buckle your seatbelt. Compression eases the pain when coughing etc,
My second baby was more wild in the belly than my first she would always react to every touch, and the Ob was always also surprised that she was also always moving a lot. She’s almost 8 weeks now and she’s been the most chill baby💕😊 and on average moms go past their due date for their second baby, not all but on average most (which doesn’t matter because you’ll be scheduled for C-section) but I always felt like she was coming and I was dilated and my Ob didn’t think it’d make it to my due date but she was shocked that I went almost 41 weeks
Was waiting to see if you were taking a pillow lol it’s been a long time since I’ve had a C-section. 17 years actually 😳 but a pillow was a saving grace while being wheeled out of the hospital and driving home. I just put it between me and the lap belt. The recovery band may work just as well. Only other advice is get up and walk around as soon as you can, it’ll help your recovery so much and help to avoid clots from forming. Aside from that just get help when getting up from a laying down/sitting position and vice versa. Wishing you, Matt, griffin and august all the best ❤
Have to add, I’ve had 7 abdominal surgeries (endometriosis) since my son was born and no one told me how much pain I’d have in my shoulder afterwards and how itchy I would be from the medication. Two things that helped a lot were a heating pad and Benadryl. Hopefully you don’t experience either of those symptoms but if you do it would be a good idea to have those two items on hand. ❤ praying for a smooth delivery and a swift recovery, Abby 🙏🏼
That suitcase is overkill for sure. I took my diaper bag for both me and by baby when I went in for my c-section 😅 I highly recommend high waisted panties and shorts. Anything short will dig into your incision and irritate it and pull it open. I learned the hard way. 😬 If the doctor offers an abdominal binder, TAKE THE OFFER! They help SO much! I couldn't move around for the first two weeks without them at all. The hospital ones are so much better than store-bought ones honestly. I got fruit of the loom brief style panties from Amazon for recovery and they're SO comfy! Not too cute honestly but they don't rub on the incision area and don't fall down like a lot of panties I've tried before. Also, depending on the type of stitches they use on you depends on the way you have to care for it after you have it. Glue stitches are less picky to care for but regular stitches you have to be more careful with. The glue ones fall off as you heal and don't have to be watched as closely but the regular ones have to be watched closer as they can have more issues. Or at least that's how it's been for me. I've had both types of stitches for my c-sections (been through 3). I highly recommend taking them up on the pain medicines too. Even if you aren't someone who likes them usually, TAKE THEM! You will be in so much pain and having to care for a baby is hard. Especially since they want you out of bed within 24 hours if the numbness is gone after having the procedure usually to prevent clotting. Also, you will most likely feel tugging or movement inside your tummy but it's not painful. Just weird. They numb you so much it's crazy. I felt like inwas going to pass out or something the last time. July 24th is when I gave birth to my last baby girl. My stitches are still healing but I'm finally weaned off my binder and pain meds I stopped using about a week ago. Also taking back over with most of my daily chores around the house execpt bathtime with the older 2 girls and certain things that involve lifting or anything pushing or pulling heavy things. 🥳
My husband and I are moving to Arizona after our baby is about 6 months old. He’s visiting some houses there now while I’m back at home with our 2 year old but he said it was 115 out there. We’re used to 85 degrees tops. Im also 7 months pregnant. so this is gonna be a fun change 🤣😅 I give you so much respect for being 9 months pregnant in that heat 😅
Love Ya'll , Baby will Be Saturday 8 /12/ 23 ..You 2 are the cuteest couple , with core family value's and , you are soooo in Love, and now you're 2 lil boys, you are truly Blessed in every way, stay Humble, and kind (You will) !! Loving all you're content, and how you handle it all!! Lets go !!!!
Girl if anyone says anything about a C-section being convenient, theyve never had one and they are much harder to recover from. Ive had 2 and theyre wild! You do what is best for you and your baby, and no one can say otherwise! Hope it all goes well!
Congrats!!! I can’t wait to see more of your journey and I am so proud of how strong both of you are. I really hope I run into you guys one day and talk. I feel like I know you guys and to meet you would be a dream come true. Have a great day 😊
I wouldn't bring your wall plug in pump but I would recommend a manual pump. They are usually compact and can go right into your bag! I'm packing one into my hospital bag in 3/4 months!
As a boy mom, I will say that my 2nd is a total full throttle no limit soldier. He's the one that looks me directly in the eyes while crossing lines🤣BUT, being boy parents is so much fun.....so much energy, so much outside time, dirt, boogers, noise, and soooo much love and snuggles.
So happy for you guys. Griffin is gonna he an amazing big brother. I love watching you guys hope everything goes really well in the next couple of days ❤❤
Omg so exciting!!! Congratulations!! My due date is 8/14. Im having a baby girl and I wanted to make her August as well since my husband’s birthday, our Anniversary, and now our first baby is all happening in August. We choose another name though. I love how relatable you guys are! ❤
Oh wow 23 years ago I think I literally just packed a nightie, a pair of pjs and a change of clothes for me! That’s it! You have a whole suitcase of marvels! 😮Good luck with delivery and the newborn stage…and enjoy every moment 😊
I cant wait to see how their family grows I am so excited to see what the future holds for you and your family! I can't wait for baby August to be here! Sending love from the UK! 💗
I’m so happy for you guys to have this baby! I’ve been watching you Guys for so long. I remember when you had griffin. You guys will be the best parents to 2 kids. Congrats! 🫶🏻🫶🏻

It’s a baby poops inside the belly is the poop inside your belly and how does it get out
@@saraalkuwari2310 they wash it out. My son did that and I had a c section. They cleaned it out
'It's a 118 degrees outside and I'm 9 months pregnant, THAT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL!' Had me cracking. Abby is so sweet♥
The large panties are wonderful after a c-section. My mom gave me those while I was in hospital with my first c-section. It gave me the much needed support and didn’t make the surgical site hurt. Blessings to you and your family 😊 Yes the $40 water bottle is important ❤️

Was waiting to see if you were taking a pillow lol it’s been a long time since I’ve had a C-section. 17 years actually 😳 but a pillow was a saving grace while being wheeled out of the hospital and driving home. I just put it between me and the lap belt. The recovery band may work just as well. Only other advice is get up and walk around as soon as you can, it’ll help your recovery so much and help to avoid clots from forming. Aside from that just get help when getting up from a laying down/sitting position and vice versa. Wishing you, Matt, griffin and august all the best ❤
Have to add, I’ve had 7 abdominal surgeries (endometriosis) since my son was born and no one told me how much pain I’d have in my shoulder afterwards and how itchy I would be from the medication. Two things that helped a lot were a heating pad and Benadryl. Hopefully you don’t experience either of those symptoms but if you do it would be a good idea to have those two items on hand. ❤ praying for a smooth delivery and a swift recovery, Abby 🙏🏼
Cant wait for baby Auggie❤
That suitcase is overkill for sure. I took my diaper bag for both me and by baby when I went in for my c-section 😅
I highly recommend high waisted panties and shorts. Anything short will dig into your incision and irritate it and pull it open. I learned the hard way. 😬 If the doctor offers an abdominal binder, TAKE THE OFFER! They help SO much! I couldn't move around for the first two weeks without them at all. The hospital ones are so much better than store-bought ones honestly. I got fruit of the loom brief style panties from Amazon for recovery and they're SO comfy! Not too cute honestly but they don't rub on the incision area and don't fall down like a lot of panties I've tried before. Also, depending on the type of stitches they use on you depends on the way you have to care for it after you have it. Glue stitches are less picky to care for but regular stitches you have to be more careful with. The glue ones fall off as you heal and don't have to be watched as closely but the regular ones have to be watched closer as they can have more issues. Or at least that's how it's been for me. I've had both types of stitches for my c-sections (been through 3). I highly recommend taking them up on the pain medicines too. Even if you aren't someone who likes them usually, TAKE THEM! You will be in so much pain and having to care for a baby is hard. Especially since they want you out of bed within 24 hours if the numbness is gone after having the procedure usually to prevent clotting. Also, you will most likely feel tugging or movement inside your tummy but it's not painful. Just weird. They numb you so much it's crazy. I felt like inwas going to pass out or something the last time. July 24th is when I gave birth to my last baby girl. My stitches are still healing but I'm finally weaned off my binder and pain meds I stopped using about a week ago. Also taking back over with most of my daily chores around the house execpt bathtime with the older 2 girls and certain things that involve lifting or anything pushing or pulling heavy things. 🥳
Dude the fact that she probably already had the little nugget ❤️🤣
My husband and I are moving to Arizona after our baby is about 6 months old. He’s visiting some houses there now while I’m back at home with our 2 year old but he said it was 115 out there. We’re used to 85 degrees tops. Im also 7 months pregnant. so this is gonna be a fun change 🤣😅 I give you so much respect for being 9 months pregnant in that heat 😅

Girl if anyone says anything about a C-section being convenient, theyve never had one and they are much harder to recover from. Ive had 2 and theyre wild! You do what is best for you and your baby, and no one can say otherwise! Hope it all goes well!
Love y’all’s videos!! ❤ Hope everything goes great with the new baby!!
Hi Matt & Abby!!! I can't believe how close it is now! I pray for a healthy delivery for mama and baby!!! 💜💜💜
Congrats!!! I can’t wait to see more of your journey and I am so proud of how strong both of you are. I really hope I run into you guys one day and talk. I feel like I know you guys and to meet you would be a dream come true. Have a great day 😊
I wouldn't bring your wall plug in pump but I would recommend a manual pump. They are usually compact and can go right into your bag! I'm packing one into my hospital bag in 3/4 months!
I’m so excited for you guys! ❤
As a boy mom, I will say that my 2nd is a total full throttle no limit soldier. He's the one that looks me directly in the eyes while crossing lines🤣BUT, being boy parents is so much fun.....so much energy, so much outside time, dirt, boogers, noise, and soooo much love and snuggles.
So happy for you guys. Griffin is gonna he an amazing big brother. I love watching you guys hope everything goes really well in the next couple of days ❤❤
Awww sending all my love and good energy :) 💛💛🥰🥰🧿🧿🤍🤍🧿🧿💗💗🙏🏻🙏🏻 Bless you all always :)
