    I can choose whether or not I put my child on the internet. I'm sure 99% of you are sweethearts, but there are some sick people out there - I've spoken to other UA-camrs who receive death threats targeted at their children. People feel no one in the public eye has any right to privacy because they chose to put themselves out there. I will put up a video, as I have said many times, when I get the time to craft a video I'm proud of and excited to share. This is no one's decision but my own.

    I really respect your decision not to put your child out there to the public when she has no say or understanding of it. Either way, it's great to see baby/pregnancy updates

  • @RachhLoves
    @RachhLoves 11 років тому +20

    Thank you love - I am excited to put up a video I've been thinking over in my head for months now and I am looking forward to showing off my little one, as any new mama is :) After that, I want to provide her with some privacy because she can't vocalize whether or not she wants to be on the internet. That's Chris and my decision and that's what's right for us :)

    Thank you so much for sharing your story. My husband and I are in the middle of figuring out when is the best time to starting trying but I am so nervous about the labour part of it all. You've honestly given me so much relief. Thank you again! Congratulations on your new baby girl!

  • @got2bekd

    Thanks! Your story has made me feel SO much better about giving birth in 5 months. I have heard so many horrible stories from people that have terrified me.

  • @RachhLoves
    @RachhLoves 11 років тому +3

    I'm enlisting the help of a friend to assist with the video and the earliest he could do is beginning of November. It was my fault for saying October when I hadn't confirmed anything with him so I'm very sorry about it. I will get the video together ASAP once we have all the footage!! I'm really excited about it and can't wait for you all to meet her :)

  • @nopseudosleft56
    @nopseudosleft56 11 років тому +1

    I totally relate when you say that you weren't expecting the pain afterwards. Noone talks about that and it came as a surprise to me too. But you soon forget it and just remember all the best bits (sorry I've left so many comments haha!). Thankyou for sharing your story and congrats again!!

  • @luckyshirt3

    i cant believe how fast 9 months went rach, why suffer pain when you have the medicine to relieve it, im still a student nurse but working with babies was the best part of my career, enjoy every minute of it, you are going to be a great mother, congrats to you both on ur new family

  • @SkylarASC
    @SkylarASC 11 років тому +15

    Don't feel discouraged by people asking to see your baby. Do what you are comfortable with. If you want to share her with the world, go for it. If you want to keep her to yourself, that is your decision.
    Additionally, I don't see why people are upset if you changed your mind. People change their minds all the time. Julia is your and your husband's baby. If you decide to share her with everyone one day and then decide not to again, that is okay. I am a new mom too and you have to do what is best for you and your family. You don't owe anyone anything.
    That being said, congrats on your new bundle of joy! Time flies!!!

  • @Umpi4life
    @Umpi4life 11 років тому

    You're right. We have walked through this pregnancy with you. I totally understand the privacy issues and respect your wish, but I think we could see Julia more than just once. You've made this personal channel for a reason. Anywho, biggest congratulations on your safe delivery and all the best with your little one.

    @alixaragon5810 11 років тому

    Were you able to get dissolvable stitches? Were the stitches the result of an episiotomy or tearing? I have heard that tearing usually requires more stitches and a longer healing time. Has breastfeeding come easy for you? I wasn't able to produce enough milk so I had to use formula as well. I'm always envious of the moms that are able to do it so easily. Congrats on your baby girl!

  • @AlvinaRayne

    How dare people judge her for not showing her baby. That is her choice and her child, not yours. We also prefer not to show our children on FB or any other social media site. You have NO idea who is watching or viewing your child's photos/videos/etc. I commend her for doing this because she is right, the little baby has no say in the matter and if she wants to protect her child from the public eye, then again, it's her right to do so.

    Congratulations!!! So happy for you and your family! You have explain everything so well, but can you talk maybe a bit more about the "after" ? Like how you managed the pain from the stitching, if you can move and be able to walk and look after your baby and things like that? Thankyou!

  • @sharisp2
    @sharisp2 11 років тому

    So happy for you and Chris honey! I have had 2 babies (both very large babies around 10 lbs each) and I can relate to your post-birth description completely! I could not sit down to go to the bathroom for about a week afterwards and had to use a sitz bath every day. That helped tremendously, along with a spray bottle of diluted witch hazel (hospital nurse gave that to me).

I was just wondering...when baby Julia was out how was the hole "getting the placenta out" and I also heard that it feels like you are popping out three babies 1. Actual baby 2. placenta 3. the uterise getting back on it´s place and shrinking. Did you excperience that?
    Love to you and your family!

    Thank you sooo much for this video! I am 38 weeks due on the 19th and for about a week I have been getting what I'm guessing is braxton hicks. But starting a couple of days ago they have been coming more frequently. I'm not dilated at all or effaced. But my question is did your contractions stay low in your belly?

  • @jaderators2935
    @jaderators2935 11 років тому +16

    I hear that the vaginal area can rip? are those the stich's u were talking about? that is what scares me the most about getting pregnant is that the skin down there may rip through the process of birth? scary!

    • @gloriaventura
      @gloriaventura 11 років тому

      i don't think there's any ripping, the drs have to make a little incision down there to help the baby come out easier. They stich you up again after delivery.

    • @madikroeker7660
      @madikroeker7660 11 років тому +4

      It can tear if baby's head comes out too quickly. Sometimes they do an episiotomy (which is when they cut the skin down there) if baby's head is having trouble coming out, or if it looks like there might be issues (lots of doctors have different views on when/if episiotomies are necessary).

    • @gloriaventura
      @gloriaventura 11 років тому +1

      Madi Kroeker oh wow. didn't know it could actually rip. It does sound scary, but if you're in the hospital and under a good dr's care, I'm sure things will be ok and no ripping will (hopefully!) happen :)

    • @BeautyBasics123
      @BeautyBasics123 11 років тому +1

      That happened to my mom for her first birthing (the tearing) But she didn't have a very good doctor. He should have cut her instead so it would have been less damage/ and easily stitched up.

    • @beautybymegan0175

    With the epidural, the pushing her out was uncomfortable but not painful. I'd say the recovery for the following week and a half were the most "painful". :)

    @JennV-B 11 років тому

    Thanks Rachel!! I'm thinking of having my first baby soon but scared out of my wits!! I hope this isn't too personal and you obviously don't have to answer, but have you experienced any bladder issues since giving birth? Pain, urgency anything? I've had bladder pain/urgency for 10 months now and I even had surgery to check things out but it hasn't completely gone away (it turned out I had endometriosis but I still have some symptoms after removal 3 months ago). Thx and congrats!!
