Women are amazing, it baffles me how someone can be cut open and immediately jump straight into doing one of the hardest and most taxing things in this life which is taking care of a baby. My mom had 3 C-sections and I know she really didn't have proper physical or emotional support from my dad, she also developed infections post partum for at least 2 of the births yet still did basically everything in taking care of me and my brothers. She is my superwoman, and Tiffy is one too!
I hope this doesn't come off as backhanded but you have seriously made me feel so much more confident in my body. I have a similar body type to you, but sometimes when I look in the mirror all I can do is criticize myself. But when I look at you I have nothing but good things to say!! You are so gorgeous and honestly an icon for curvy girls
Glad you and the baby are okay! Was super surprised when after a little while of not seeing your videos, I come to find out you were pregnant! So proud of you Tiffy!
If you're having a hard time with breastfeeding, using a pump and pre-pumping a bunch of milk would give you a break from it a few times a day. My cousin used one cause her baby kept falling asleep like yours, so he was eating small amounts at irregular intervals and it was causing her pain from all the built up excess breastmilk so being able to pump it all out was very helpful for her.
I genuinely appreciate these updates. As someone who grew up watching you, I feel so honored to share this journey with you and your family. I also appreciate you being so careful with your new addition to the family. You’re doing a great job. ❤️
I also had traumatic a c section and i found that i was getting very frustrated with the pain and mobility but one day i just came to the realization that I needed to take it slow and give in and let my body heal from such a huge surgery treasure and love your body all the amazing things it has done for you to be a mama ❤️ there will always be time later to do all the things you want to do
I was thinking about how you have pretty much raised and watched a whole generation grow through your content, even myself am apart of that group (I've been watching since I was like 6? And I'm going on 18) but not only are you watching your veiwers grow up but as the veiwers we have also been watching you grow up and change into the beautiful person you are today, tomorrow, and the future. I'm very glad we get to experience life with a amazing role model like you that is not only fun but can also be real/serious when you need to be.You're so strong to be able to still make content whilst going through such a tough time But I'm so proud of you and thank you for blessing my life and many others through your content I hope your life, reds life, and your newborns life will continue to be blessed with love and happiness even through the up's and downs that I'm sure will soon come through this thing called life. Love you tiff! 💙 (Also remembering back to your Oasis series and the episode where you were like "I'm scared of babies their heads are soft I will break them" and now you're here having your first child is such a awesome thing to see how much you have changed, plus you did start my fear of babies but that's ok💀)
It makes me so emotional to see someone that basically raised me and made me a independent woman gaming & all, having a family of her own. Ty for being a big part of my childhood
Is there anyway we can get Red’s point of view with the labor, c-section, when the baby was born, stepping up as a husband/father and taking care of you, the pets, & house while your on bed rest, etc? I would like to hear whats been going on through his mind with everything & how he is dealing with it emotionally & mentally. Especially with the process of the labor & all. If you don’t mind & when you have time, can we get a video pertaining to his perspective? You don’t have to of course but I just wanted to ask❤️❤️
your feelings are totally valid and i'm glad you're reminding yourself to take it easy on yourself because if you take your time in healing now instead of trying to rush/speed run it it's going to be so much better for you in the long run! either you give yourself the time your body needs to rest, relax, and heal properly or your body will force you. it's totally natural feeling like you could/should be doing more and feeling frustrated when you can't but you're already doing an amazing thing and sometimes only getting to do one thing is as good as you're gonna be able to do. better being able to do one thing than only partially doing a bunch of things and stretching yourself too thin, in my opinion. congratulations again on your successful birth even if it wasn't quite what you were expecting/planning to happen. even though i haven't been watching a lot of your content as much as i used to when i was younger, it's been an honor having you sorta be an internet mom for my elementary/middle school self whose now turning 21 in september and being able to sit here and see how great of an actual mom you will be. being a parent is *hard* being a good one even harder but i think you and Red will be great ones!
really enjoying getting to see this "behind the scenes" into you and Mario's lives and hearing about how your week is going. You are doing an incredible job! Keep it up mama! 💜✨
My c-section area still itchy its been 13 years I finally have feeling in that part of my belly its really weird lol I'm so happy for you both I love you!!
a tip for when the baby is older, make sure u feed him lots of fruits and veggies. fruit and veggie smoothies can also help while his teeth are still growing
I have no idea how it feels to be mother but, I’ve watched you since I was 10 and now I’m 16. You’ve been like a mother figure for me throughout my childhood. You’re like a mother for all your fans! I bet it’s really hard to feel like you’re enough but if you’re enough for millions of people you surely are enough for your baby. You are a really wonderful mother! Keep up the good work Tiffy!
I’m a c-section baby and even though my bio dad was there he did nothing for my mum whilst pregnant with me she fainted from over working and dehydration whilst picking up my sister she then had to take herself to hospital but still had to walk to my sisters school because he was useless, she was awake for the c-section and he didn’t stay with her and decided to leave her alone even after that she still had to look after us whilst healing honestly one of the strongest woman I know I’m so lucky to have her to look up to and so glad my step dad decided to step up even when he didn’t have to she deserves the world and I hope no one ever has to go through that all woman are strong but remember it’s okay to need help after pushing a literal child 😭
Disclaimer: I haven’t had a cesarean but recently had a stomach surgery. Bending from the hips and using your knees makes moving so much more bearable! I don’t know how to describe what I mean but I remember how life changing that advice was so I wanted to pass it on. ❤️ Also, in order to sit up try and prop yourself up as much as you can so you only have to use those muscles for a moment. (I used a bunch of pillows once I was home from the hospital.) It also might help to press a pillow to your belly when trying to get up, I know it sounds crazy but it does make some sort of a difference. Hope you have a speedy recovery and are enjoying baby! Congratulations to you both!
You are doing fantastic !! Babies take a lot out of you the first few months but you are getting through it wonderfully !! And not to mention the amazing work Red is doing to help out !! I wish you guys the best of luck and sending all the love !!
Oh my gosh, this totally took me back to post partum with my first! So much breastfeeding! All the emotions! After a while, you understand what a dairy cow must feel like. I am so happy that you are keeping your sweet baby in bed with you, I think it really is best to have them close. One thing you will learn- nothing is predictable when it comes to babies! Also, remember when you get back into exercising that your ab muscles have been cut, and they may also be weak from being stretched, so take it easy and be kind to yourself. You look amazing!
Girl I feel u. After pregnancy is hard sometimes. But being with ur baby is all worth it! U got a bundle of joy and still a big future with him! Stay safe tiffy :)
C-Sections definitely take 6-8 weeks to heal. You have to remember you had major surgery with a huge incision on your lower stomach. You have stitches in the inner and surface part as well. Moving around after 2 weeks is no bueno! It’s better to recover correctly then to do something that will make you take even longer to recover.
My daughter turned a month old this on the 17 and I am also a breast feeding mama. This past month has been crazy. She had her first growth spurt and it got us off of out routine so I’ve been staying exhausted and she is always wanting to eat because she too falls asleep while eating. It feels nice to know that someone else is going through what I have been going through. I don’t feel so alone anymore
Listen c section mom here I feel you it's super frustrating when healing but please give yourself some grace it won't last and I know you probably know that but it's always comforting to just hear it (or read it) I had to actually pump with my son because he was not only a premie but it was hard to move around while healing. Just trust the process ❤️❤️
You saying that you always feel like you’re breastfeeding and can’t do anything else, I felt that so far down into my soul! I exclusively breastfed for 5 1/2 months. During that time I felt like that was all I did. Trust yourself! You’re doing great! We had to stop breastfeeding because our daughter was 6 pounds underweight. I wasn’t making enough milk and anything she did eat it made her sick. As long as baby is gaining weight he’ll be okay 🤍 remember when babies are newborns their stomachs are the size of a marble, doesn’t take much to fill them up 🤍
Im glad your healing great! You look amazing, don't feel like you have to push yourself to do something. You just went through something tough, and you deserve all the time to relax and heal!! Baby boy is looking great himself
I've been watching you since forever. Like literally was there for the first episode of minecraft oasis and I watched for years. You were my role model, still are to be honest. Your literally my childhood, you and Stacy plays and everyone else, I remember loving your DIYs and following your makeup tutorials for Halloween. And now, I'm almost 18, one more month, and just had your first baby.... I don't think we'll ever meet, and I don't think we'll ever truly know eachother, but you've been in my life so long it's crazy to think how far we've come. I've watched you grow so much, and I've grown to, at the same time. You'll always be a part in my life even if you eventually stop uploading altogether. Thank you, for coming so far, and letting all of us come on this journey with you. It's been amazing and sureal to see you grow, and change, and still have your heart. You've given me strength, that I can have the life I want to have. And you've grown with me, as I've grown with you. So thank you. And I wish you all the best, I'll always keep watching, your still the most magical person I can think of lol.
soak the baby time in girl, once they start crawling talking and walking and going to school your going to miss him so much . And you go girl people dont realize what women go through
I'm so glad you're doing well, Tiffy. Little Babyquake is so adorable, I know you and hubby are so grateful and blessed to have him. My thoughts and prayers go to all of you! Love you so much!
Have loved following your journey so far. What a beautiful little boy you have and I can’t even comprehend how you keep up with him! Babies are so much work but it seems like you’re going great 🤍🥰 wishing your family the best.
Something I think about a lot while watcing your journey through this is how much he will appreciate/be grateful for everything you both did for him. I think he will really enjoy watching these videos when he is older. Love u Tiff and Red yall are doing a great job. :)
I appreciate you sharing your frustration, you're not alone in the breastfeeding journey I went about 18 months exclusively breastfeeding my baby boy. People made me feel insane and ungrateful with my frustration because no one talks about how hard and mentally taxing it is. Little man constantly feeding is called cluster feeding and he is telling your body to make more milk for a growth spurt coming soon. Thank you for sharing the ugly and frustrating side of motherhood and normalizing that it's not all pretty. You're doing great Tiffy! I am so proud and grateful to be apart of this wonderful growing community!~
I'm sure you already know and I'm aware you've been postpartum for over a month now, but having Baby Blues for a few weeks or a month after any birth, especially one so traumatic as yours, is totally normal. It's a huge life change, so if you got a lot of emotions and they're not the happy kind, give yourself all the grace and feel everything out and remember it'll pass. If it's been more than a month and those feelings persist, it's a good sign you might have PPD, which is also super normal and just something you need to ask your doctor about, and they'll probably give you antidepressants. You deserve anything that will help you feel better, it's not a sign of defeat if you can't get over depressive feelings yourself. You're super gorgeous and I'm super proud of you for all you've gone though! 💕 I hope you're doing a lot better lately 💋💋💋
Many people take birth for granted as in it should just happen, but you don't realize it's a privilege to be born healthy. My mom had no obvious sign of labor, and her water just broke while she was at work too. They took her to hospital, and learned that I was in danger. Mean while there was another mother all prepped on her scheduled C-section in the surgery room. They had to put her on hold, and rushed my mom in to save my life. I was literally out of oxygen or something like moments before I turn brain dead or with permanent damage. So yeah my friend had to be born after me because I was like... I'm not waiting for you lol My mom said it felt like my life was a minute away from a completely different one, but I'm fortunate to be born healthy.
You’re doing amazing I’m glad you all are okay!! The sad feelings are pretty normal - postpartum depression && being tired,, I’ve grown up watching you & you’re amazing & enough I’m so happy for you guys
Yes having doubt that you're feeding your baby enough is very common. The advice that I heard was to trust your body that its doing enough. Your body knows what its doing and to just trust the process. If there is no visible signs of malnutrition then I don't think you need to worry. You're doing an amazing job Tiff just goes to show you can plan as much as you want but it still might end up being different than intended. I know it's difficult now but just think looking after your body now can do wonders in the long run. Love You !! 🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤
I'm so happy you and the baby are okay 🥺 You and Red were a large portion of my childhood, and seeing you now as parents, knowing all of the pain and trauma you went through to get to this point, makes me so proud of you. I'll pray for a smooth recovery for you and a healthy life for your adorable baby boy! Also Red is a trooper, gotta love the supportive partners ❤
You’re doing great mama! I know you and your family will find a good routine but of course things will ebb and flow. Just please be mindful of your mental health and reach out to others when you need 💗💗 I know that post partum depression is no joke and you went through a traumatizing labor so be gentle with yourself right now. Love the vlogs and your honesty through the tougher parts ✨
To help yourself rest and heal maybe try pumping and letting Red feed him using a bottle; so you can get some rest. That’s what I had to do to help myself heal from my C-section it helped so much.
I'm really glad baby is doing okay I'm sorry that your struggling with your c section wound. Don't give up in no time you will be bending over picking him up and spinning in circles. Time heals don't be too impatient you got this tiff! Seriously your so strong love yall both red is such an amazing dad! And your an super mom.
You are so early in the healing stage, take it easy and don’t push yourself, listen to your body and if you need to rest, rest it’s going to take time. Do not feel like you are not good enough (easier said than done) but honestly you will feel like this it’s not something you have experienced before so you can easily become hard on yourself. But honestly just be a mother and enjoy every moment. You are beautiful and you are loved. Healing takes time xx
I had a traumatic C-section and baby ended up in NICU. I had a drainage bag hanging and from my stomach cannulas in very awkward places in my hands for about a week after. The first 36 hours I was recovering from the surgery and HELLP, so was bed bound and on drips. After that I was moved to a normal room on the maternity ward, my partner was with me for the first 3 days helping me get up and about. I started in a wheelchair to go visit my daughter. On day 3 my partner got sick and was terrified incase it was covid or he passed it on to our premature daughter so he had to leave, luckily that was the first morning I was able to get myself out of bed. After that I would visit my daughter every 2 or 3 hours and would walk (more like a shuffle to start) there, it was painful but honestly the more I walked the faster I healed, eventually I was taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Focusing on how she was doing and getting her healthy enought to get home made the recovery a lot easier and once the drainage bag was removed it was a lot easier to get around! I used to keep it in my dressing gown pocket. We couldn't breast feed as she wasn't strong enough to get the fatty higher milk, so I expressed every 2-3 hours, which was hell! How I even coped back then I don't know, the strength of women is incredible. But from what I've seen with my sister and her daughter breast feeding is constant and tiring, no version of feeding is easy and they're all time consuming in their own way, but with expressing and formula it seems to be a lot easier to create an eating schedule, and you can monitor how many mls they're having, which is reassuring. Breast fed seems to be little and often and a mystery amount each time, it sounds like he's growing just fine though. I still get the odd pinching or tugging pain 11 months later, (which I find so weird because I wasn't awake for it and was on meds for the pain after) your postpartum recovery appears to be going a lot faster than mine, I still look 4 months pregnant after nearly a year! And yes get those cute teeny foot and hand prints done as soon as you can because they grow so fast and time just disappears before your eyes, we didn't get her frist prints till she was 4 months old! You're doing amazingly and are an inspiration to lots of people, thank you for sharing your journey and life with us. You'll find balance eventually it's just early days.
my mom knows how much you and your channel mean to me. she knows that i grew up watching you! so through your pregnancy, she has been watching your videos with me and now we are watching your post-partum together too! it's so lovely for us. i get to share something that is important to me (you!!) and she gets to tell me about how it was for her to have me and be pregnant. it's such a good connection for us to have. thank you for everything and for creating content that i can discuss and become closer to my own mother with! love and light always 💛
i really really wish you the best, cupquake. everything’s been so rough, it’s frustrating but i believe in you! you are more than enough, you’re milk supreme, you’re awesome!!
i cant watch these videos without crying i'm so happy everyone's happy and healthy i'm so proud of you. i'm about to be a senior in high school and i've been following you since i think 4th or 5th grade. you've raised me and i can't wait to grow up like you
I’m so happy for you Tiff!!!😭❤️ this is amazing and Red seems so supportive. You’re so strong and I’m so excited to see your guys’ journey💗stay healthy!
I love how real this is. I’m new to the channel I have recently subscribe during your pregnancy because I love how real and truthful you are about the experience. Thank you
It's been amazing watching your journey. Post-partum depression is very real and very serious, so please make sure to take it easy and don't be hard on yourself! Thank you for going through all the effort of filming and posting videos! You are just gorgeous, you always look so radiant! Also huge props to Red too, he is an incredible husband and dad as well. I hope he is also taking care of himself. You guys matter just as much as the baby. As someone who grew up in a messed-up family, it makes me really emotional to know that your little one is growing up with the most amazing, loving parents. Much love and good luck! You got this!
Im glad your both healthy and your slowly healing which is good. It must be hard knowing all this stuff you wish to do but instead, your spend your days as the milk supply but it will get better, once you figure out the day time routine and continue to heal, everything will fall into place piece by piece. Keep up the good work Mama Tiff and Papa Red
I’ve seen a lot of videos on the internet about how if you fill a little syringe with breast milk and freeze it it is good for ear aches and eczema and really anything that baby needs. Just a tip I heard of to pass along. ❤️
Sorry about feeling you're not doing enough, but I'm certain you're doing exceptionally well taking care of your first baby and with other things in your life! 🥰☺️💝
I’m so glad u r managing to keep up to date with after seeing your journey from beginning to end with now a new Beautiful edition is incredible and you r so strong I hope your whole family is doing well and can’t wait to see your family flourish and grow!
It sounds like he is cluster feeding. Totally normal! That is how he tells your body to make more. Once you adjust he will feed less often. Pro-tip on the wonder weeks, they have an app! I never had time to read much when either of my three kiddos were newborns. It was nice to go there and see a quick rundown of what to expect. Remember, you are enough! He’s proved that with the weight gain. Even when that slows down, just make sure the wet diapers are happening and he is all good. You need to bring back some of those positive meditations and affirmations from labor. You’re body was meant for this. Having a traumatic birth experience can make you question your body, but remember you got this! Postpartum depression/anxiety is real, it’s definitely something to watch out for. I think it is great you are recognizing and talking about your feelings. Wishing you three (plus doggo) the best. Soak it all in, it goes by fast! 💖
My mom haa been a single mom of 2, since my dad passed while she was 4 months pregnant with me and my brother was almost a year old. Both C-sections might I add!! I don't know how she did it tbh. A lot of taking it day by day with the help of my grandparents and aunt and uncle. She was feeling a lot of doubt and exhaustion as you were feeling, as it is hard. So, just know that if my mom can do it for 20 years you can do it too. We believe in you
The 4th Trimester was a really miserable time for me, especially the constant breastfeeding. And then she grew and became so much more interactive and her little personality became stronger and I just loved motherhood sooo much more. A traumatic birth experience, emergency c-section, and the 4th trimester combined for you is so rough, so be kind to yourself, and take the rest when you can to give your body a break. Breastfeeding wasn't the journey for me and it took me a while to grieve that. So please be kind to yourself as you navigate through it xx
4:58 Wow Thank-you for sharing, I have never had a clue what a post par-tum body could look like. I have never heard any mothers that I know talking about swelling or still having a swollen womb or belly and I have certainly never heard of what it feels like for your organs and everything else to reposition etc. Its very educational, I feel like there is allot of shame attached to this stuff for women and that's weird to me, I don't think there should be any. So thank-you so much Tiffy for sharing! I wish more people would be more open to sharing about their post par-tum bodies. (Whenever my mum talks about my birth and pregnancy for her it was all smooth sailing and not difficult at all so she was VERY lucky! She is strong to, She rode to the hospital in labour on the back of a motorbike with my dad and when she got to the hospital... they took one look at her in her bike gear and she was like I am here to give birth :D and the doctors wondered how she was even still standing! hahaha)
I breastfed for 2 years. I felt miserable the whole time but subconsciously I knew it was for the best 😭 until my baby was ready to let the boob go, I was there for her 🥺 you can do anything tiffy❤️ so proud to see you guys managing tasks as a family ❤️ Mario is a super dad / hubby! I wish he would vlog his feelings to show my hubby that other dads also have stuff going on.❤️ bendiciones hoy mañana y siempre!🪬🧿✨🇲🇽💕
OxyContin??? Dang, be careful with opiates from hospital… swear they give them out hoping for an addiction… please try your best with ibuprofen and Tylenol hun. There’s higher strengths, you should try to take some 500mg in the morning then take the oxy when it gets unbearable. Hope you continue doing well💖 Mario is the cutest papa! 😊
Unfortunately there’s not a lot of great pain meds out there! Even Tylenol is showing to be very dangerous, when taking it, it stops your body from releasing toxins and all around very bad for your body. I only take ibuprofen now bc it seems a bit better
Their is also 800 mg ibuprofen. I take that for me period cramps because they get so bad to where I can’t even walk, and it takes the pain completely away. But period cramps and birth are two totally different scenarios
For real my father actually got addicted to it when it was prescribed to him after breaking his leg! And my sister was heavily dependent on it during chemo such a scary drug
i love how real ur being with us. post partum is not always rainbows and sunshine. i like how u talked about how ur feeling mentally bc i wish more women talked abt the rough times and doubts and worries after birth. so glad u and ur beautiful baby boy are healthy
Hay I know it's a little frustrating because a lot has happened to you during your pregnancy but listen me and everyone else including Mario, baby quake, and Amaya are so proud of you and how far you have come. We appreciate all of your hard work and getting to see the behind the sense of your pregnancy. Remember to take it easy you're still healing and it's okay to just relax a little don't overdo it. We love you and can't wait to see you and your family grow together!
My mom had my tiny hand prints in a clay heart tablet, I suggest doing hands as well as feet because it's so cute and as children grow they can see the difference between their hand sizes easier than their feet lol
It goes by so quickly enjoy the new born stage❤️ I currently have a 9 month old and it went by in a blink of an eye🥺. Congratulations on the sweet baby boy🎉. I'm a teen momma and had a C-section, the pain from it will be gone in no time❤️, you got this momma.
that doubt you were talking about with breast milk is completely normal due to you being unable to control what nutrients your body makes- but your body is making what your baby needs!! don’t stress too much, you’re doing wonderfully!!
Yes please be patient with yourself! I have had 2 C-sections and will have to schedule a 3rd for this baby (and 1 vaginal birth which was a lot easier recovery) so I know the literal pain you are in. Take the time to heal and do not overdo it; though from your last video it looks like the hubby is taking great care of you. And you will be breastfeeding constantly for the first few weeks (thanks cluster feeding) but you are doing a great job! 2 pounds so far is amazing so be proud of yourself
You’re doing great Tiffy. It’s hard the first few weeks but it’ll get better once you start healing and baby sleeps a little longer in between feedings. All the crying is normal trust me lol. Sending you a lot of love.
Thank you for sharing everything Tiffy. 💖💪❤️ Such a sensitive & delicate time in your life. I hope you continue to heal well & the post partum gets better for you. My depression was off the wall. This time I'm getting my placenta encapsulated to help with that & make milk. I'm so happy your milk has come in and is thriving! How wonderful 👍💕 I definitely had that feeling of not being enough for my baby & the pediatrician confirmed I wasn't, I wasn't making anything milk beyond 1oz at a time. So I had 2 lactation consultants to try to get me to make milk. A medical grade Medela pump, water, herbs, it was wild. I had to supplement for my baby to thrive. 🤞 I make enough with this baby coming. I'm 41.5 weeks along now. Hopefully postpartum healing is better (I broke my tailbone, had hemroids & tore) & I make more milk. ❤️💪💓 Us women are very strong creatures. That's why we have a higher pain tolerance than men. 💪💯
I was watching you when I was still in elementary school I believe or I was just hitting middle school and now I’m going to college. It’s insane that you have a baby now.
I'm so glad mama and baby is doing so well!! Tiffys mom waited for the day they had a baby and now the angel is finally here to explore the world. Very glad you 3 are well
Oh my gosh! I don’t know if this is rude in anyway (if so I don’t mean it that way) but you are such a gorgeous mother already even though you have been through so much recently. You are such a strong and inspiring person as well with all of this going on. I have never had a child but I know other people who have and I know they will enjoy watching/learning about this crazy journey! ☺️speaking of, congratulations on your beautiful baby. I hope you feel better soon, my love. ❤️🩹
I have very traumatic emergency c section too. and turned out they need to do hysterectomy in my 23 yo , took my uterus out. But its all worthied to see my baby girl grow , orelse i die , but yeah i feel u the recovery was tragic traumatic , sad emotional , but ur baby always there to cheer u up ♥️♥️♥️ u doing great mommy women are amazing yes yes yes
I remember how exhausting breastfeeding was. I also didn't produce enough and it was hard with my second because breastfeeding grossed out my first born so I would have to be in a room by myself and my little one and be away from the rest of the family. Ultimately, I opted for formula because I couldn't produce enough and my first had a hard time latching on after going on a bottle while I was sick and the second because she had a milk protein allergy so we had to get special formula for her. Do what you can and don't beat yourself up if you need to supplement but judging by his weight gain you don't need to supplement. Hang in there!
If he's feeding a lot, he might be doing it as a coping mechanism. I watched another UA-camr who's child wanted to be fed constantly and they believed it was the baby's way of coping. Babies feel safest with their mother
This is amazing. I can’t believe you guys did it. I always thought you guys were not going to have any children out of choice but here you are 🥹 I’m so happy you guys are happy and growing your family. So cute. Being a first time mom is not an easy task. I can’t wait to see this little one grow and what personality he will develop 💕😭 how cute.
Oh Tiffany! My rainbow baby was born last October, and i felt all of the same things you’re feeling now. Things do get better. I remember reading somewhere “the nights seems so long but the days go by so fast.” Looking back on it, that’s exactly what happened. Breastfeeding is hard, props to moms who do it by themselves or who do it long term. At 3 months i had to go back to work and that was another challenge, so for my mental health i decided to give up breastfeeding. It wasn’t all at once it just kind of gradually happened, i had to get up at 5 am to be at work by 7 am, and he would feed a couple times during the night…so i got very little sleep. And I decided my baby needed a rested and happy mamma. I felt so guilty, and so sad and that feeling of not being enough. My baby is now 9 months and those feelings still come and go and i’ve just sort of accepted them as part of being a Mommy. My baby is thriving, he’s healthy, happy. I’m healthy, happy, rested and thriving too. And Dads, thank you for stepping up!! We couldn’t do it without you
So proud of you, I never thought this day would come. I've been watching your channel since highschool, and it's so amazing growing up watching you finding your feet in You Tube and then literally getting a pregnant and having your beautiful son. While I'm going through college and finding love and already thinking about love and marriage and babies myself together with my partner (gonna finish getting my bachelors first). I'm excited to watch you two grow as parents and see your lil one grow into the amazing person I'm sure you two will raise him to be. I'm excited to find out what you've decided for a name! I still remember baby Joby from your sims 3 series.
Aww, I had the baby blues too with my first one. I was breast feeding, and not pumping. Everyone in the house was either working or at school every day, so I was all alone with this tiny baby lol and I had no clue what to do. We lived with his family at the time. It was so so hard, I felt like it was just me doing everything all the time. All day, and all night. I just cried all the time. It lasted for a couple weeks and then it went away. Now, with my other 3 its a totally different story. I had my last 3 babies very close together. Second and third were 18 mths apart, and my third and fourth were 11 mths apart. I had postpartum anxiety and depression with all of them, so it was like it just never went away. So I had it for 4 years straight while I was having babies, then another 3 years after that. Because I didn't say anything to my doctors. I just want you to know, its ok. Everything is new, its exciting and terrifying all at the same time. If you ever do feel like you may have ppd, please don't feel ashamed, or embarrassed. It happens to so many, and its nothing that we do. But going to the doctor can help. But you are going to do great. You have an amazing hubby and support system. You are just an incredibly beautiful person, and that shines threw in everything that you do. Including being a momma.
i was told by the nurse to nurse my daughter in just a diaper or to play with her feed to keep her feedin when she fell asleep and wasnt don eating but if the doctor says he is good then your doing great.. breastfeeding is a struggle but your bond with your baby get further along will be worth it
Women are amazing, it baffles me how someone can be cut open and immediately jump straight into doing one of the hardest and most taxing things in this life which is taking care of a baby. My mom had 3 C-sections and I know she really didn't have proper physical or emotional support from my dad, she also developed infections post partum for at least 2 of the births yet still did basically everything in taking care of me and my brothers. She is my superwoman, and Tiffy is one too!
I'm sure red helps alot! 🥰 So amazing to be able to have that kind of support! 💕
woah ur moms awesome
I hope this doesn't come off as backhanded but you have seriously made me feel so much more confident in my body. I have a similar body type to you, but sometimes when I look in the mirror all I can do is criticize myself. But when I look at you I have nothing but good things to say!! You are so gorgeous and honestly an icon for curvy girls
💖
Glad you and the baby are okay! Was super surprised when after a little while of not seeing your videos, I come to find out you were pregnant! So proud of you Tiffy!
If you're having a hard time with breastfeeding, using a pump and pre-pumping a bunch of milk would give you a break from it a few times a day. My cousin used one cause her baby kept falling asleep like yours, so he was eating small amounts at irregular intervals and it was causing her pain from all the built up excess breastmilk so being able to pump it all out was very helpful for her.
I genuinely appreciate these updates. As someone who grew up watching you, I feel so honored to share this journey with you and your family. I also appreciate you being so careful with your new addition to the family. You’re doing a great job. ❤️
Me too! I started tearing up mid-video LOL
I also had traumatic a c section and i found that i was getting very frustrated with the pain and mobility but one day i just came to the realization that I needed to take it slow and give in and let my body heal from such a huge surgery treasure and love your body all the amazing things it has done for you to be a mama ❤️ there will always be time later to do all the things you want to do
I was thinking about how you have pretty much raised and watched a whole generation grow through your content, even myself am apart of that group (I've been watching since I was like 6? And I'm going on 18) but not only are you watching your veiwers grow up but as the veiwers we have also been watching you grow up and change into the beautiful person you are today, tomorrow, and the future. I'm very glad we get to experience life with a amazing role model like you that is not only fun but can also be real/serious when you need to be.You're so strong to be able to still make content whilst going through such a tough time But I'm so proud of you and thank you for blessing my life and many others through your content I hope your life, reds life, and your newborns life will continue to be blessed with love and happiness even through the up's and downs that I'm sure will soon come through this thing called life.
Love you tiff! 💙
(Also remembering back to your Oasis series and the episode where you were like "I'm scared of babies their heads are soft I will break them" and now you're here having your first child is such a awesome thing to see how much you have changed, plus you did start my fear of babies but that's ok💀)
It makes me so emotional to see someone that basically raised me and made me a independent woman gaming & all, having a family of her own. Ty for being a big part of my childhood
Is there anyway we can get Red’s point of view with the labor, c-section, when the baby was born, stepping up as a husband/father and taking care of you, the pets, & house while your on bed rest, etc?
I would like to hear whats been going on through his mind with everything & how he is dealing with it emotionally & mentally. Especially with the process of the labor & all. If you don’t mind & when you have time, can we get a video pertaining to his perspective?
You don’t have to of course but I just wanted to ask❤️❤️
Same thoughts, I would like to know how is he feeling with all of this..not pressure tho :)
Excellent, I'd love this too.
your feelings are totally valid and i'm glad you're reminding yourself to take it easy on yourself because if you take your time in healing now instead of trying to rush/speed run it it's going to be so much better for you in the long run! either you give yourself the time your body needs to rest, relax, and heal properly or your body will force you. it's totally natural feeling like you could/should be doing more and feeling frustrated when you can't but you're already doing an amazing thing and sometimes only getting to do one thing is as good as you're gonna be able to do. better being able to do one thing than only partially doing a bunch of things and stretching yourself too thin, in my opinion. congratulations again on your successful birth even if it wasn't quite what you were expecting/planning to happen. even though i haven't been watching a lot of your content as much as i used to when i was younger, it's been an honor having you sorta be an internet mom for my elementary/middle school self whose now turning 21 in september and being able to sit here and see how great of an actual mom you will be. being a parent is *hard* being a good one even harder but i think you and Red will be great ones!
really enjoying getting to see this "behind the scenes" into you and Mario's lives and hearing about how your week is going.
You are doing an incredible job! Keep it up mama! 💜✨
My c-section area still itchy its been 13 years I finally have feeling in that part of my belly its really weird lol I'm so happy for you both I love you!!
a tip for when the baby is older, make sure u feed him lots of fruits and veggies. fruit and veggie smoothies can also help while his teeth are still growing
I have no idea how it feels to be mother but, I’ve watched you since I was 10 and now I’m 16. You’ve been like a mother figure for me throughout my childhood. You’re like a mother for all your fans! I bet it’s really hard to feel like you’re enough but if you’re enough for millions of people you surely are enough for your baby. You are a really wonderful mother! Keep up the good work Tiffy!
I’m a c-section baby and even though my bio dad was there he did nothing for my mum whilst pregnant with me she fainted from over working and dehydration whilst picking up my sister she then had to take herself to hospital but still had to walk to my sisters school because he was useless, she was awake for the c-section and he didn’t stay with her and decided to leave her alone even after that she still had to look after us whilst healing honestly one of the strongest woman I know I’m so lucky to have her to look up to and so glad my step dad decided to step up even when he didn’t have to she deserves the world and I hope no one ever has to go through that all woman are strong but remember it’s okay to need help after pushing a literal child 😭
his little baby noises 😭😭 sooooo cute, hope you’re both doing well!!
Disclaimer: I haven’t had a cesarean but recently had a stomach surgery. Bending from the hips and using your knees makes moving so much more bearable! I don’t know how to describe what I mean but I remember how life changing that advice was so I wanted to pass it on. ❤️
Also, in order to sit up try and prop yourself up as much as you can so you only have to use those muscles for a moment. (I used a bunch of pillows once I was home from the hospital.) It also might help to press a pillow to your belly when trying to get up, I know it sounds crazy but it does make some sort of a difference.
Hope you have a speedy recovery and are enjoying baby! Congratulations to you both!
You are doing fantastic !! Babies take a lot out of you the first few months but you are getting through it wonderfully !! And not to mention the amazing work Red is doing to help out !! I wish you guys the best of luck and sending all the love !!
Oh my gosh, this totally took me back to post partum with my first! So much breastfeeding! All the emotions! After a while, you understand what a dairy cow must feel like. I am so happy that you are keeping your sweet baby in bed with you, I think it really is best to have them close. One thing you will learn- nothing is predictable when it comes to babies! Also, remember when you get back into exercising that your ab muscles have been cut, and they may also be weak from being stretched, so take it easy and be kind to yourself. You look amazing!
Girl I feel u. After pregnancy is hard sometimes. But being with ur baby is all worth it! U got a bundle of joy and still a big future with him! Stay safe tiffy :)
C-Sections definitely take 6-8 weeks to heal. You have to remember you had major surgery with a huge incision on your lower stomach. You have stitches in the inner and surface part as well. Moving around after 2 weeks is no bueno! It’s better to recover correctly then to do something that will make you take even longer to recover.
My daughter turned a month old this on the 17 and I am also a breast feeding mama. This past month has been crazy. She had her first growth spurt and it got us off of out routine so I’ve been staying exhausted and she is always wanting to eat because she too falls asleep while eating. It feels nice to know that someone else is going through what I have been going through. I don’t feel so alone anymore
OMG I grew up watching you and now you're a mom! AHHHHHHH CONGRATS 😭🙌
Listen c section mom here I feel you it's super frustrating when healing but please give yourself some grace it won't last and I know you probably know that but it's always comforting to just hear it (or read it) I had to actually pump with my son because he was not only a premie but it was hard to move around while healing. Just trust the process ❤️❤️
You saying that you always feel like you’re breastfeeding and can’t do anything else, I felt that so far down into my soul! I exclusively breastfed for 5 1/2 months. During that time I felt like that was all I did. Trust yourself! You’re doing great! We had to stop breastfeeding because our daughter was 6 pounds underweight. I wasn’t making enough milk and anything she did eat it made her sick. As long as baby is gaining weight he’ll be okay 🤍 remember when babies are newborns their stomachs are the size of a marble, doesn’t take much to fill them up 🤍
Im glad your healing great! You look amazing, don't feel like you have to push yourself to do something. You just went through something tough, and you deserve all the time to relax and heal!! Baby boy is looking great himself
I've been watching you since forever. Like literally was there for the first episode of minecraft oasis and I watched for years. You were my role model, still are to be honest. Your literally my childhood, you and Stacy plays and everyone else, I remember loving your DIYs and following your makeup tutorials for Halloween. And now, I'm almost 18, one more month, and just had your first baby....
I don't think we'll ever meet, and I don't think we'll ever truly know eachother, but you've been in my life so long it's crazy to think how far we've come. I've watched you grow so much, and I've grown to, at the same time. You'll always be a part in my life even if you eventually stop uploading altogether.
Thank you, for coming so far, and letting all of us come on this journey with you. It's been amazing and sureal to see you grow, and change, and still have your heart. You've given me strength, that I can have the life I want to have. And you've grown with me, as I've grown with you.
So thank you. And I wish you all the best, I'll always keep watching, your still the most magical person I can think of lol.
It’s so insane how grown your aura has become just these past months 😭 you’re really a mama! Those instincts kick in fast
soak the baby time in girl, once they start crawling talking and walking and going to school
your going to miss him so much . And you go girl people dont realize what women go through
I'm so glad you're doing well, Tiffy. Little Babyquake is so adorable, I know you and hubby are so grateful and blessed to have him. My thoughts and prayers go to all of you! Love you so much!
Have loved following your journey so far. What a beautiful little boy you have and I can’t even comprehend how you keep up with him! Babies are so much work but it seems like you’re going great 🤍🥰 wishing your family the best.
Something I think about a lot while watcing your journey through this is how much he will appreciate/be grateful for everything you both did for him. I think he will really enjoy watching these videos when he is older. Love u Tiff and Red yall are doing a great job. :)
I appreciate you sharing your frustration, you're not alone in the breastfeeding journey I went about 18 months exclusively breastfeeding my baby boy. People made me feel insane and ungrateful with my frustration because no one talks about how hard and mentally taxing it is. Little man constantly feeding is called cluster feeding and he is telling your body to make more milk for a growth spurt coming soon. Thank you for sharing the ugly and frustrating side of motherhood and normalizing that it's not all pretty. You're doing great Tiffy! I am so proud and grateful to be apart of this wonderful growing community!~
So crazy seeing him wear the clothes you put in that nursery months ago!! So beyond happy for u
I'm sure you already know and I'm aware you've been postpartum for over a month now, but having Baby Blues for a few weeks or a month after any birth, especially one so traumatic as yours, is totally normal. It's a huge life change, so if you got a lot of emotions and they're not the happy kind, give yourself all the grace and feel everything out and remember it'll pass.
If it's been more than a month and those feelings persist, it's a good sign you might have PPD, which is also super normal and just something you need to ask your doctor about, and they'll probably give you antidepressants. You deserve anything that will help you feel better, it's not a sign of defeat if you can't get over depressive feelings yourself.
You're super gorgeous and I'm super proud of you for all you've gone though! 💕 I hope you're doing a lot better lately 💋💋💋
Many people take birth for granted as in it should just happen, but you don't realize it's a privilege to be born healthy. My mom had no obvious sign of labor, and her water just broke while she was at work too. They took her to hospital, and learned that I was in danger. Mean while there was another mother all prepped on her scheduled C-section in the surgery room.
They had to put her on hold, and rushed my mom in to save my life. I was literally out of oxygen or something like moments before I turn brain dead or with permanent damage. So yeah my friend had to be born after me because I was like... I'm not waiting for you lol
My mom said it felt like my life was a minute away from a completely different one, but I'm fortunate to be born healthy.
You’re doing amazing I’m glad you all are okay!! The sad feelings are pretty normal - postpartum depression && being tired,, I’ve grown up watching you & you’re amazing & enough I’m so happy for you guys
Yes having doubt that you're feeding your baby enough is very common. The advice that I heard was to trust your body that its doing enough. Your body knows what its doing and to just trust the process. If there is no visible signs of malnutrition then I don't think you need to worry. You're doing an amazing job Tiff just goes to show you can plan as much as you want but it still might end up being different than intended. I know it's difficult now but just think looking after your body now can do wonders in the long run. Love You !! 🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤
The book says “& Gemma Peanut” how cute and meant to be is that 🥰 I hope you’re all doing well, so much love ❤️
I'm so happy you and the baby are okay 🥺 You and Red were a large portion of my childhood, and seeing you now as parents, knowing all of the pain and trauma you went through to get to this point, makes me so proud of you.
I'll pray for a smooth recovery for you and a healthy life for your adorable baby boy!
Also Red is a trooper, gotta love the supportive partners ❤
Tiffy you are absolutely one of the strongest women I know. I send you nothing but positive vibes❤️❤️
You’re doing great mama! I know you and your family will find a good routine but of course things will ebb and flow. Just please be mindful of your mental health and reach out to others when you need 💗💗 I know that post partum depression is no joke and you went through a traumatizing labor so be gentle with yourself right now. Love the vlogs and your honesty through the tougher parts ✨
To help yourself rest and heal maybe try pumping and letting Red feed him using a bottle; so you can get some rest. That’s what I had to do to help myself heal from my C-section it helped so much.
I'm really glad baby is doing okay I'm sorry that your struggling with your c section wound. Don't give up in no time you will be bending over picking him up and spinning in circles. Time heals don't be too impatient you got this tiff! Seriously your so strong love yall both red is such an amazing dad! And your an super mom.
You are so early in the healing stage, take it easy and don’t push yourself, listen to your body and if you need to rest, rest it’s going to take time. Do not feel like you are not good enough (easier said than done) but honestly you will feel like this it’s not something you have experienced before so you can easily become hard on yourself. But honestly just be a mother and enjoy every moment. You are beautiful and you are loved. Healing takes time xx
I had a traumatic C-section and baby ended up in NICU. I had a drainage bag hanging and from my stomach cannulas in very awkward places in my hands for about a week after. The first 36 hours I was recovering from the surgery and HELLP, so was bed bound and on drips. After that I was moved to a normal room on the maternity ward, my partner was with me for the first 3 days helping me get up and about. I started in a wheelchair to go visit my daughter. On day 3 my partner got sick and was terrified incase it was covid or he passed it on to our premature daughter so he had to leave, luckily that was the first morning I was able to get myself out of bed. After that I would visit my daughter every 2 or 3 hours and would walk (more like a shuffle to start) there, it was painful but honestly the more I walked the faster I healed, eventually I was taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Focusing on how she was doing and getting her healthy enought to get home made the recovery a lot easier and once the drainage bag was removed it was a lot easier to get around! I used to keep it in my dressing gown pocket.
We couldn't breast feed as she wasn't strong enough to get the fatty higher milk, so I expressed every 2-3 hours, which was hell! How I even coped back then I don't know, the strength of women is incredible. But from what I've seen with my sister and her daughter breast feeding is constant and tiring, no version of feeding is easy and they're all time consuming in their own way, but with expressing and formula it seems to be a lot easier to create an eating schedule, and you can monitor how many mls they're having, which is reassuring. Breast fed seems to be little and often and a mystery amount each time, it sounds like he's growing just fine though.
I still get the odd pinching or tugging pain 11 months later, (which I find so weird because I wasn't awake for it and was on meds for the pain after) your postpartum recovery appears to be going a lot faster than mine, I still look 4 months pregnant after nearly a year! And yes get those cute teeny foot and hand prints done as soon as you can because they grow so fast and time just disappears before your eyes, we didn't get her frist prints till she was 4 months old!
You're doing amazingly and are an inspiration to lots of people, thank you for sharing your journey and life with us. You'll find balance eventually it's just early days.
my mom knows how much you and your channel mean to me. she knows that i grew up watching you! so through your pregnancy, she has been watching your videos with me and now we are watching your post-partum together too!
it's so lovely for us. i get to share something that is important to me (you!!) and she gets to tell me about how it was for her to have me and be pregnant. it's such a good connection for us to have.
thank you for everything and for creating content that i can discuss and become closer to my own mother with! love and light always 💛
I'm so glad you're sharing all of this with us! your so brave!
It still blows my mind that I’ve watched tiff growing up and now she has a little kid of her own
i really really wish you the best, cupquake. everything’s been so rough, it’s frustrating but i believe in you! you are more than enough, you’re milk supreme, you’re awesome!!
You're so lucky to have a partner there who helps you. You guys are great. So glad you have each other.
i cant watch these videos without crying i'm so happy everyone's happy and healthy i'm so proud of you. i'm about to be a senior in high school and i've been following you since i think 4th or 5th grade. you've raised me and i can't wait to grow up like you
I’m so happy for you Tiff!!!😭❤️ this is amazing and Red seems so supportive. You’re so strong and I’m so excited to see your guys’ journey💗stay healthy!
his hair is growing so fast!! your swelling seems to be going down really quickly, glad everything is going well so far!!
im so so happy for you guys. you look amazing and i hope baby quake is happy and healthy. i hope you guys love being parents
I love how real this is.
I’m new to the channel I have recently subscribe during your pregnancy because I love how real and truthful you are about the experience. Thank you
It's been amazing watching your journey. Post-partum depression is very real and very serious, so please make sure to take it easy and don't be hard on yourself! Thank you for going through all the effort of filming and posting videos! You are just gorgeous, you always look so radiant! Also huge props to Red too, he is an incredible husband and dad as well. I hope he is also taking care of himself. You guys matter just as much as the baby. As someone who grew up in a messed-up family, it makes me really emotional to know that your little one is growing up with the most amazing, loving parents. Much love and good luck! You got this!
Im glad your both healthy and your slowly healing which is good. It must be hard knowing all this stuff you wish to do but instead, your spend your days as the milk supply but it will get better, once you figure out the day time routine and continue to heal, everything will fall into place piece by piece. Keep up the good work Mama Tiff and Papa Red
I’ve seen a lot of videos on the internet about how if you fill a little syringe with breast milk and freeze it it is good for ear aches and eczema and really anything that baby needs. Just a tip I heard of to pass along. ❤️
Be patient with yourself, you and Mario are doing great!
you’re the most beautiful person, and such a wonderful mom! glad u and baby are doing good :)
You still look beautiful, Tiffy 😊 glad you and baby are doing well
Sorry about feeling you're not doing enough, but I'm certain you're doing exceptionally well taking care of your first baby and with other things in your life! 🥰☺️💝
Your an amazing mom Tiff and don't let everyone tell you otherwise
I’m so glad u r managing to keep up to date with after seeing your journey from beginning to end with now a new Beautiful edition is incredible and you r so strong I hope your whole family is doing well and can’t wait to see your family flourish and grow!
It sounds like he is cluster feeding. Totally normal! That is how he tells your body to make more. Once you adjust he will feed less often.
Pro-tip on the wonder weeks, they have an app! I never had time to read much when either of my three kiddos were newborns. It was nice to go there and see a quick rundown of what to expect.
Remember, you are enough! He’s proved that with the weight gain. Even when that slows down, just make sure the wet diapers are happening and he is all good. You need to bring back some of those positive meditations and affirmations from labor. You’re body was meant for this. Having a traumatic birth experience can make you question your body, but remember you got this! Postpartum depression/anxiety is real, it’s definitely something to watch out for. I think it is great you are recognizing and talking about your feelings.
Wishing you three (plus doggo) the best. Soak it all in, it goes by fast! 💖
My mom haa been a single mom of 2, since my dad passed while she was 4 months pregnant with me and my brother was almost a year old. Both C-sections might I add!! I don't know how she did it tbh. A lot of taking it day by day with the help of my grandparents and aunt and uncle. She was feeling a lot of doubt and exhaustion as you were feeling, as it is hard. So, just know that if my mom can do it for 20 years you can do it too. We believe in you
The 4th Trimester was a really miserable time for me, especially the constant breastfeeding. And then she grew and became so much more interactive and her little personality became stronger and I just loved motherhood sooo much more.
A traumatic birth experience, emergency c-section, and the 4th trimester combined for you is so rough, so be kind to yourself, and take the rest when you can to give your body a break. Breastfeeding wasn't the journey for me and it took me a while to grieve that. So please be kind to yourself as you navigate through it xx
Love your videos!! And I’m happy that you had a safe delivery, God bless! 💞💞💞
4:58 Wow Thank-you for sharing, I have never had a clue what a post par-tum body could look like. I have never heard any mothers that I know talking about swelling or still having a swollen womb or belly and I have certainly never heard of what it feels like for your organs and everything else to reposition etc. Its very educational, I feel like there is allot of shame attached to this stuff for women and that's weird to me, I don't think there should be any. So thank-you so much Tiffy for sharing! I wish more people would be more open to sharing about their post par-tum bodies. (Whenever my mum talks about my birth and pregnancy for her it was all smooth sailing and not difficult at all so she was VERY lucky! She is strong to, She rode to the hospital in labour on the back of a motorbike with my dad and when she got to the hospital... they took one look at her in her bike gear and she was like I am here to give birth :D and the doctors wondered how she was even still standing! hahaha)
I breastfed for 2 years. I felt miserable the whole time but subconsciously I knew it was for the best 😭 until my baby was ready to let the boob go, I was there for her 🥺 you can do anything tiffy❤️ so proud to see you guys managing tasks as a family ❤️ Mario is a super dad / hubby! I wish he would vlog his feelings to show my hubby that other dads also have stuff going on.❤️ bendiciones hoy mañana y siempre!🪬🧿✨🇲🇽💕
OxyContin??? Dang, be careful with opiates from hospital… swear they give them out hoping for an addiction… please try your best with ibuprofen and Tylenol hun. There’s higher strengths, you should try to take some 500mg in the morning then take the oxy when it gets unbearable.
Hope you continue doing well💖 Mario is the cutest papa! 😊
Unfortunately there’s not a lot of great pain meds out there! Even Tylenol is showing to be very dangerous, when taking it, it stops your body from releasing toxins and all around very bad for your body. I only take ibuprofen now bc it seems a bit better
Their is also 800 mg ibuprofen. I take that for me period cramps because they get so bad to where I can’t even walk, and it takes the pain completely away. But period cramps and birth are two totally different scenarios
For real my father actually got addicted to it when it was prescribed to him after breaking his leg! And my sister was heavily dependent on it during chemo such a scary drug
Bro she just had a major surgery if she needs pain meds she needs pain meds let her heal in peace
ibuprofen is bad for you, extremely. and its probably even more bad after you have a kid. i wouldnt recommend it to anyone.
So proud of you Tiffy, wishing you a fast recovery ❤️🩹
i love how real ur being with us. post partum is not always rainbows and sunshine. i like how u talked about how ur feeling mentally bc i wish more women talked abt the rough times and doubts and worries after birth. so glad u and ur beautiful baby boy are healthy
SENDING THE BEST WISHES TIFF. motherhood is a hrd job you are so strong!!!
Hay I know it's a little frustrating because a lot has happened to you during your pregnancy but listen me and everyone else including Mario, baby quake, and Amaya are so proud of you and how far you have come. We appreciate all of your hard work and getting to see the behind the sense of your pregnancy. Remember to take it easy you're still healing and it's okay to just relax a little don't overdo it. We love you and can't wait to see you and your family grow together!
My mom had my tiny hand prints in a clay heart tablet, I suggest doing hands as well as feet because it's so cute and as children grow they can see the difference between their hand sizes easier than their feet lol
Thank you for documenting this stuff. More women/people with uteruses need to know about the realities of birth!! Sending love💕💕
It goes by so quickly enjoy the new born stage❤️ I currently have a 9 month old and it went by in a blink of an eye🥺. Congratulations on the sweet baby boy🎉.
I'm a teen momma and had a C-section, the pain from it will be gone in no time❤️, you got this momma.
that doubt you were talking about with breast milk is completely normal due to you being unable to control what nutrients your body makes- but your body is making what your baby needs!! don’t stress too much, you’re doing wonderfully!!
Yes please be patient with yourself! I have had 2 C-sections and will have to schedule a 3rd for this baby (and 1 vaginal birth which was a lot easier recovery) so I know the literal pain you are in. Take the time to heal and do not overdo it; though from your last video it looks like the hubby is taking great care of you. And you will be breastfeeding constantly for the first few weeks (thanks cluster feeding) but you are doing a great job! 2 pounds so far is amazing so be proud of yourself
You’re doing great Tiffy. It’s hard the first few weeks but it’ll get better once you start healing and baby sleeps a little longer in between feedings. All the crying is normal trust me lol. Sending you a lot of love.
Thank you for sharing everything Tiffy. 💖💪❤️ Such a sensitive & delicate time in your life. I hope you continue to heal well & the post partum gets better for you. My depression was off the wall. This time I'm getting my placenta encapsulated to help with that & make milk. I'm so happy your milk has come in and is thriving! How wonderful 👍💕 I definitely had that feeling of not being enough for my baby & the pediatrician confirmed I wasn't, I wasn't making anything milk beyond 1oz at a time. So I had 2 lactation consultants to try to get me to make milk. A medical grade Medela pump, water, herbs, it was wild. I had to supplement for my baby to thrive. 🤞 I make enough with this baby coming. I'm 41.5 weeks along now. Hopefully postpartum healing is better (I broke my tailbone, had hemroids & tore) & I make more milk. ❤️💪💓 Us women are very strong creatures. That's why we have a higher pain tolerance than men. 💪💯
I was watching you when I was still in elementary school I believe or I was just hitting middle school and now I’m going to college. It’s insane that you have a baby now.
I'm so glad mama and baby is doing so well!! Tiffys mom waited for the day they had a baby and now the angel is finally here to explore the world. Very glad you 3 are well
You are doing a great job and looking beautiful! Love your body and how much it has and continues to accomplish!
Oh my gosh! I don’t know if this is rude in anyway (if so I don’t mean it that way) but you are such a gorgeous mother already even though you have been through so much recently. You are such a strong and inspiring person as well with all of this going on. I have never had a child but I know other people who have and I know they will enjoy watching/learning about this crazy journey! ☺️speaking of, congratulations on your beautiful baby. I hope you feel better soon, my love. ❤️🩹

I remember how exhausting breastfeeding was. I also didn't produce enough and it was hard with my second because breastfeeding grossed out my first born so I would have to be in a room by myself and my little one and be away from the rest of the family. Ultimately, I opted for formula because I couldn't produce enough and my first had a hard time latching on after going on a bottle while I was sick and the second because she had a milk protein allergy so we had to get special formula for her. Do what you can and don't beat yourself up if you need to supplement but judging by his weight gain you don't need to supplement. Hang in there!
If he's feeding a lot, he might be doing it as a coping mechanism. I watched another UA-camr who's child wanted to be fed constantly and they believed it was the baby's way of coping. Babies feel safest with their mother
This is amazing. I can’t believe you guys did it. I always thought you guys were not going to have any children out of choice but here you are 🥹 I’m so happy you guys are happy and growing your family. So cute. Being a first time mom is not an easy task. I can’t wait to see this little one grow and what personality he will develop 💕😭 how cute.
So so early🥰I’ve been so excited to receive ANY updates from you guys!!!
Oh Tiffany! My rainbow baby was born last October, and i felt all of the same things you’re feeling now. Things do get better. I remember reading somewhere “the nights seems so long but the days go by so fast.” Looking back on it, that’s exactly what happened. Breastfeeding is hard, props to moms who do it by themselves or who do it long term. At 3 months i had to go back to work and that was another challenge, so for my mental health i decided to give up breastfeeding. It wasn’t all at once it just kind of gradually happened, i had to get up at 5 am to be at work by 7 am, and he would feed a couple times during the night…so i got very little sleep. And I decided my baby needed a rested and happy mamma. I felt so guilty, and so sad and that feeling of not being enough. My baby is now 9 months and those feelings still come and go and i’ve just sort of accepted them as part of being a Mommy. My baby is thriving, he’s healthy, happy. I’m healthy, happy, rested and thriving too. And Dads, thank you for stepping up!! We couldn’t do it without you
You are so strong tiffy. We all love you and I hope you have better days ahead. ❤
So proud of you, I never thought this day would come. I've been watching your channel since highschool, and it's so amazing growing up watching you finding your feet in You Tube and then literally getting a pregnant and having your beautiful son. While I'm going through college and finding love and already thinking about love and marriage and babies myself together with my partner (gonna finish getting my bachelors first). I'm excited to watch you two grow as parents and see your lil one grow into the amazing person I'm sure you two will raise him to be. I'm excited to find out what you've decided for a name! I still remember baby Joby from your sims 3 series.
im so happy for you guys!! wishing you a speedy recovery!!
Aww, I had the baby blues too with my first one. I was breast feeding, and not pumping. Everyone in the house was either working or at school every day, so I was all alone with this tiny baby lol and I had no clue what to do. We lived with his family at the time. It was so so hard, I felt like it was just me doing everything all the time. All day, and all night. I just cried all the time. It lasted for a couple weeks and then it went away. Now, with my other 3 its a totally different story. I had my last 3 babies very close together. Second and third were 18 mths apart, and my third and fourth were 11 mths apart. I had postpartum anxiety and depression with all of them, so it was like it just never went away. So I had it for 4 years straight while I was having babies, then another 3 years after that. Because I didn't say anything to my doctors. I just want you to know, its ok. Everything is new, its exciting and terrifying all at the same time. If you ever do feel like you may have ppd, please don't feel ashamed, or embarrassed. It happens to so many, and its nothing that we do. But going to the doctor can help. But you are going to do great. You have an amazing hubby and support system. You are just an incredibly beautiful person, and that shines threw in everything that you do. Including being a momma.
i was told by the nurse to nurse my daughter in just a diaper or to play with her feed to keep her feedin when she fell asleep and wasnt don eating but if the doctor says he is good then your doing great.. breastfeeding is a struggle but your bond with your baby get further along will be worth it
How slow everything feels is what makes it seem fast. Like your cought up in all the baby stuff that feels slow then you look up it's been a week.
