    I also detransitioned and am now 20 weeks pregnant with a boy as well💛 Never could've imagined this future for myself, but I am so incredible grateful and blessed. Jesus knew what I needed better than I did, and now I truly can't imagine a more fitting path for my life. I'm enjoying pregnancy (so far lol) and so in love with the precious life inside of me. Thanks for sharing your journey!

    Re: the epidural, it’s not because it’s disgusting that everyone leaves the room, it’s because they’re putting a needle very close to your spinal cord, and the fewer distractions for you and the anesthesiologist, the better. Mistakes can have devastating consequences. And I’ve heard that induced labor is hard to go through. I’m delighted to have found this video a day after you posted it…I was wondering how you’re doing! Congratulations to you and Jason. 🥂

    when a small baby like him hears heartbeats, he calms and becomes sleepy, as he feels safe. So I either kept my twins on my chest or carried them around tied to my chest. I am a father, but still, these babies were incredible beings. I clearly remember the moment when they started to understand a speech. They just started to walk around and it seemed like they interacted with each other (actually they did) So I gave to my baby a piece of paper and asked to put it in a garbage bin. I was speechless as she actually did it despite she couldn't speak any words yet. You will have many happy moments with your baby, he will fill a big gap inside you, enjoy!

    Such a beautiful baby! 🥰 That “missing my old life “ syndrome will pass quickly as your son becomes more fun, 4-6 months. Besides, everybody’s past is their old life. It’s just simply your life, live in the moment. Your future leisure time to yourself will come too quickly, enjoy the now. 🙏🏼💗

      True. Babies are Time and energy vampires. They suck out all your time , a most of your energy until the reach certain age, but also most the negativity and and superfluous and trivial interests and concerns you may had in the past. But i understand for first time and especially young mothers it may be overwhelming at first. Thus grandmothers, the mother's mother, are so helpful if you have that luxury(that many dont anymore). Partly to guide, and emotionally support and partly to help and take some of the work off the young mother. In fact Mother and mother will come closer that they ever been at this time. It's a kind of second mystifying thing occurring with a birth, a mother sees her daughter as her equal and a woman, a mother too.

    Daisy, I’m here because I stumbled across an article about you almost choosing sterilization previously. The article said you were a patient at HBH and I was floored. I worked for HBH around the time you were detransitioning. Let’s just say my eyes were opened during my time there and I am now extremely wary of the informed consent model for HRT. My heart aches for all the people who were given these treatments without the proper psychiatric vetting they needed. I am so so sorry to all of those people, especially the young women, for being complicit in those practices even tangentially (I am not a medical provider). Daisy, I’m so sorry and I wish you a lifetime of clarity and happiness.

    Congratulations on the beautiful baby boy! My niece was born premature last September due to my SIL having a medical complication, she was very small for the first couple months! But she's growing healthy and strong and bigger every day. I hope that motherhood will be a deep and meaningful experience for you and that it brings you as little suffering as necessary. ♥

    Being afraid of the pain is totally normal especially for your first birth. I have 2 and did both without medication because, I have a rapid birth condition. Yep I'm the lady who gives birth on the way to the hospital!😂😂 Congratulations 🎊 your baby is beautiful, and I wish nothing but health and happiness for your family!!❤❤ I wanted to say, I found your channel through Allie Beth...😊

    Hi, Daisy. First of all, biggest congratulations to you and your husband on the birth of your beautiful son ❤️ Please do know that everything you’ve been through, and I mean EVERYTHING you’ve been through is perfectly normal! Even questioning yourself every step of the way. First time motherhood is like traveling with no map! No particular instructions come with your baby - for him to read 😆 Day to day is a new adventure and experience for both of you, and your husband included. As a 3-time mom, I felt exactly as you do, every time. Accept that along with your precious boy you will have ups and downs. Cherish every feeling because they are feelings of growing into your new role. You will adapt and adjust as days and weeks and months go by. It’s the best ride you’ll ever take, including all the bumps. Give yourself a break, Daisy. Your baby is safe. You are safe. Your husband is safe. Your love knows no bounds for your little family. What’s most important to remember is you should absolutely rest when you can to refresh your spirit. If you’re a praying girl, give a shout to your god or goddess, to ask for strength and guidance when you need it. Enjoy your beautiful son. He’s got loving and devoted parents, and you are all learning and growing together. Cherish every moment, and tell your son your stories when he grows. He will love them, and you are his hero. Thank you for sharing your experience. I was saying yes yes to your descriptions. It made me feel so nostalgic. Truly. Take good care, momma.

    I am so grateful for your birthing description. I got stuck with a C-section after a forced and failed induction. He was only 3 days overdue, and the obgyn said we need to go the next night to be induced. So I never experienced childbirth so hearing your story (even about the feeling to crap!) because it gave me an idea of how that experience to push brings a natural feeling like having to go. Thank you!
    Also, I left a detailed comment on your “I’m pregnant “ video so pretty please read. Best wishes to you and your growing family!

    It’s ok to feel like you miss your old life, it’s ok to not miss your kid(s) sometimes because you wanna be with your partner, kids are meant to leave. It’s ok to be angry or not want to be with them sometimes because they’re clingy lol. But you never stop loving your baby no matter how old they get, they’ll always be your baby, and their achievements are 100x so much satisfying and proud.

    I feel so happy you were able to be a mother and thankfully retqin your fertility after so long on T. He’s just adorable, i feel another important thing abt waiting to transition as an adult is you start to feel more of those motherly instincts and thats when some of us start to feel much more connected to womanhood outside of gender stereotypes or sexualized view of women which we deal with heavily and with great discomfort as teenagers

This whole thing is a big experiment and I am glad you are finding your way. I recall after the birth of each of my children. The first was induced. I bet you are lucky if you can get sleep during this time. It is all worth it though. After a while it will go by really fast and before you know it he will be running around and in preschool.

      That’s why they used to give enemas to women in labor.

    [if you want to know about epidurals]
    In an epidural, they are injecting anaesthetic into the spinal chord to block the pain signals. How long it takes varies depending on the individual anatomy. Every spine is a little different which can make it easier or more difficult to place the medicine. Sometimes they are done very quickly and other times it takes longer.

It was intense (compared to my first delivery) & I couldn't get the epidural fast enough! Epidurals are magical. 🥰
