Firstly, congratulations!! I am so moved right now. I have been following you for years and love your ability to tell a story but this has hit so close to home for me. Our daughter was born 15 years ago and our birth stories are so very similar. Listening to you just now, my heart was racing and I was brought back to all of the incredible and difficult moments of her birth. Parenthood with all it’s ups and downs is such a blessing. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful story and for helping me re-live mine. Wishing you all the best.
Congratulations Karin- watching this brought back so many memories. My daughter is 32 now, I went into labour and had to write pos while getting ready to leave and order carpet our first day together! She grew up in my interior design business and now she is all business first in fashion and then transitioned to a CPA. I made alot of sacrifices too many sad ones. And paying the price I think. Design is so hard to do while distracted and it should not be that your child is a distraction- so many hard decisions have to be made I can't tell you till I see how she does raising children and what decisions she makes different from mine - likely she has more opportunities than I did with keeping her career and mom roles working together. My younger son, five years later, I left the industry completely for 5 years. I cried watching this. I feel the joy and that you would do it again. Thank you - sorry for the lengthy comment. I have been watching your journey- you are extraordinary! I just felt so moved to share. BTW You look so lovely here!
Thank you Karin for sharing your deeply moving experience! Thanks to God, all the pain and tears made your journey so worthwhile! This is by far the most clear account, which helps prepare one for what to expect. Pray you and Chris watch Madison grow up in good health with pure joy and gratitude. God bless you all!
Thank you for sharing. My oldest is 35 and this took me right back to those moments of fear and pain and rush while you are prepped for a caesarean. Then the joy of my baby along with all the feelings of being so out of control of your own body. 35 years later, he is still and always will be the joy of my life! Congratulations ❤️
Thank you for sharing your birth story. I can totally relate, I've had two C-sections. Unless you've gone through this there is just no way you can get someone to really understand all the flood of emotions you go through all at the same time. Madison is beautiful! And, you look so pretty throughout this whole journey. 💗
So happy for you Karin but also horrified about your emergency c-section, my labour/delivery was identical to yours up until that point. I thought I was a tough cookie but you’re definitely a warrior. Your daughter has a wonderful role model in you. Blessings to you and your family!
I too had this emergency c section, with my boy 8 years back. With all the shaking and anxiety. Your story reminded me of mine , a solid flash back. C section, mood swings , recovery. Love you Karin, stay strong.
Oh Karin, Madison is so precious. I had a very hard time with my second pregnancy. I don't care that women have babies every day, it's hard. If anyone has it easy in delivery, they are fortunate. You are going to have fun dressing her with your great fashion sense. My daughter is now 48 and we have such fun when we are together. Enjoy every moment with Madison and God bless.
Karin, I too had a really horrible experience. I had to be admitted & hospitalized at 31w6d of premature water rupture…. I delivered my son via C-section at 34 weeks on Christmas Eve. My labor and delivery were scary since I developed an infection. I was also shaking uncontrollably, throwing up, fever…. On top of my son’s heart rate being in the 200s. Within 2 hours of getting induced, the OBGYN did not hesitate and mentioned that a C-section would be done if the interventions that nurses were trying to do to elevate both our levels didn’t work. During surgery I also was throwing up and felt like I was going to die if I closed my eyes since whatever pain medication they gave me during stitching, felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest. Because my son was born premature I wasn’t able to hold him as he was admitted into the NICU. Missing out on skin to skin, not having our baby in the room… I was just devastated. I too felt like my body failed me and I had severe PPD & PPA. I love hearing your story and I’m so happy to hear that you and your family are doing well. You made such a beautiful girl and you’re a beautiful mom 🥰 Good luck and much love ❤️
Hi Karin. So glad you and baby Madison made it through your challenge of birthing. My labor and delivery was much like yours, 37 hours of labor then a c-section and a torn bladder. It has been 53 years yet still very fresh in my mind. Thank you for the way you share from your heart and yes, I love your vlogs.
Thank you for sharing your story! I'm 4 months pregnant with my first and have no idea what I'm doing or what to expect. So great hearing other people's experiences. And I'm so glad it all worked out for you and your beautiful family.
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us in such a detailed way. My mum had me with a c-section and it was also very traumatic for her. I had my son in 2019 and we had decided to do a homebirth. Our son was also quite comfortable and my water only broke 2 weeks after the due date. It was a 13 hour labor and a very intense roller coaster of emotions but I was very blessed to have two very experienced midwives who guided me very well during contractions. It took quite a while for my son to sink in as his head was really big. But what I learned is that there is no baby that is too big to be born naturally. I am 5ft 2in and my son was born with 9 pounds and 10 ounces. Our bodies can do much more than conventional obstetricians think. I am sure that if I wouldn't have had the midwives who supported me on having a natural birth at home, my labor story would have also ended in a c-section. There is so much valuable know-how that traditional midwives have but unfortunately we do not get access to it right away when we are pregnant from hospitals. Only if you dig very deep and spend hours researching you might find the right books and maybe the right midwife. One book that I can recommend is Freebirth by Sarah Schmidt. She has her labor videos in her UA-cam channel as well. I wish all pregnant women reading this a peaceful pregnancy and an empowering labor ❤️
Thank you for sharing and talking about hard and unpredictable moments that most women might not know before they go to the delivery room. This is such a warm and wonderful video with real story, thank you so much! Madison is increasingly lovely ❤️
Congratulations Karin. I've been watching your channel for awhile now and really enjoy the entrepreneurial/business side. I could totally relate to you experience. My first daughter was an emergency c section and you are totally right when you say it's traumatic. It's so quick. There is no time to really think. The main job is getting the baby out safe. I always wanted a natural birth but after my first experience I realised the real prize is coming out with your baby. My next two pregnancies were both elected c sections and the experience was a lot more controllable and calm. It was so interesting to watch you re-tell your story but also relate to it so closely. Enjoy you joy. X
Hi Karin, the birth of my first son was so similar to yours. I can totally understand and relate to the trauma and overwhelming flood of emotions you describe. That operating table is the last place you imagine yourself being. Take all the time to heal that you need mama, it’s not easy. I truly felt healed from my first birth at the end of my second birth, which was also a C-section from a sunny side up baby that would just not come. This time around, I knew what was going on. The ob suggested a c section after I had been dialated at a 9cm for 10 hours and stuck there. I went into the operating room with a different headspace than the first time. I knew that the trembling and nausea was coming and I embraced it. After it, holding my second baby I felt so much healing, that I cannot describe it to you. I felt empowered and it felt full circle. Whatever had been taken from me the first time I had it back. Anyways, I wish you the best in your recovery and your new journey as a parent to a beautiful baby girl!
Thank you for sharing my youngest is 7 but listening to you talk about your experience made me remember all three of my birthing experiences. I am happy you have your love in your arms and building amazing memories. Congratulations on your beautiful addition to your family.
Thank you for sharing Karin. I got very emotional, like I was in your shoes , where I haven't been yet. Madison is beautiful. Wish you, Chris and Madison all the best.
I'm so happy for you. I followed your work for so long and when I learned that you were having a baby I literally cried like I knew you. Seriously, blessings to you and your family. Thanks for sharing your journey.
This is my first time to leave comment in UA-cam and I'm a big fan of you and I'm a mother of 6years old daughter. What an amazing journey you went through..I'm sooo glad that you and your baby angel are safe and are healthy now. I can tell that how much you wanted to have a natural birth and all planed out but I thought the same thing I thought I could do.. but it was just out of control. Giving birth was the most painful experience I would never ever had but having a child is the most perfect thing that I've never have in my life. Welcome to motherhood! You are an amazing as you are and this is just the beginning of your new journey as a mum!! Congratulations!
Firstly, I like to congratulate you and Chris for your bundle of joy. Thank you for sharing such a strong and impactful story with us, which was so clear and moving and made me feel I was right there with you. I am currently 24 weeks pregnant with my first baby and your story helps prepare one to what to expect. I wish you and your family all the best and pray that Madison will grow to be absolute healthy and happy in life. Thank you Karin.
Thank you for sharing your story! Madison is beautiful and has such a strong mom to look up to for going through all that. Sorry to hear you had such a negative and traumatic experience. I had a friend induced who had a similar experience, 30+ hr labor, stalled at 8cm and ended in emergency c section. I was trying to avoid induction for this reason but was induced at 41 weeks and like you my cervix was not dilated at all and still closed. Had it put in at 9am, started having contractions by 3:30pm, went to the hospital at 9pm and baby arrived at 5am but luckily was able to have a vaginal delivery. Contractions were very painful since they kept the cervidil in till I was 6cm and I’m hoping next time to go into labor naturally to compare. I totally relate to how intense everything is in those first 48hrs in the hospital and that first week, it’s so much.
Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl! I also had my first baby at 40, in labor for 34 hrs.. But totally worth it . Being a mother has been the best experience of my life. Thank you for sharing your story and being so vulnerable . Being a momma looks beautiful on you :)
You are such a strong brilliantly shining beautiful being! In all ways! I am the mother of 9 beautiful children, grandmother of 27 and 3 great grandchildren so far. I had 4 of mine at home… none of the births were easy and my 8th child just delivered her first on July 6th…similar trauma but was finally able to push him out. Bless you for sharing this beautiful gift with all!😇🥰
I don’t usually comment on videos, but Karin you are truly amazing. What an incredible story, I cried the whole way through! You seem so calm and present in your latest videos, it’s inspirational as a working Mama myself. I’ve had two c-sections in the last two years and I know how tough it is 🤍 Congratulations on beautiful baby Madison, she is a sunflower!
I should be sleeping already but I could not shop watching. I'm glad you and Madison are ok. What a labor! I really appreciate that you told us about your experience, thank you ^^
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your story with the ups and downs and being so open and honest. It means more than you know ❤️❤️ (unrelated but she has the same birthday as my grandpa and one day before my birthday)
You made me tear . I also had a birth experience that I did not expect but at the end what really matters is that our babies made it out healthy. AMEN.
Congratulations on your child. So happy for you. I also got the epidural and I was also shaking like a leaf when I went in for the c-section. But it was all worth it in the end.
I like you and admire so much! Thank you for sharing some moments of your life on YT because watching you always makes me uplifted, energetic, happier, more confident and motivated. No matter how difficult experiences you cope with, your attitude towards it is so positive and constructive that it is an inspiration to be strong and never give up. And you are able to be so beautyful and elegant in all kinds of situations which is really inspiring. You are a true good vibes and good mood creator. Thank you for all that Karin 💖
Congratulations Karin and Chris! Madison is a beautiful baby and truly brings so much joy to the both of you. You are a very strong person. After all that you want to do it again ❤️ Cannot wait to follow Madison's journey. Thank you so much for sharing your incredible journey. ❤️🙏
LOL Oscars sounds were so funny. Your hair looks incredible! This story just made me cry. I remembered my delivery. I was in labor for 41 hours, 2 epidurals and a torn vagina later was the worst. Wildest part was I was giving birth during the 2001 Subway Series and if you can believe the people in my room were watching the game in between taking care of me. I was like WHAT is going on here? Your story sounded horrific girl but I’m glad you made it thru that. Baby Madison might have a great backstroke with all that flipping. What a story 💝
Thank you for sharing your story! You are strong lion moma ❤️ I was getting induced from Friday morning up til Monday morning with opening only 1 cm when they gave up and took me to C section. Baby had to be monitored every 2 hours, so I got to wake up every two hours for 3 days in a row. I don’t think I would be able to give birth that Monday morning even if I would have cervix open. Baby had umbilical cord around her neck 3 times and green waters. I’m grateful that she was so strong and waited to meet mommy and daddy ❤
What an incredible birth story Karin, you told it so well. Thank you for sharing it. You are right, no matter how much you try to understand wbat you are about to go through to give birth to your child, you just aren't able to until you have done it. I don't think anyone can imagine how it really feels and what you have to do 'within' to get through it. For those of us that are lucky enough to have the opportunity to bring children into the world, it really is like having a superpower. It's something that I will never take for granted.💕
What a heart wrenching birth story 💓💕💓At the same time, how wonderful it is that you now have your beautiful, healthy baby!!!! I’m an OB/NICU RN and see different births every day. No two are alike.
And I have 2 grown babies of my own. I remember their entrances into the world as if it were yesterday. And yes, 8 1/2 pounds is a big baby for a little thing like you!
Thank you so much for sharing this personal and special moment in your life. Madison is so beautiful. I followed you back then for your business tips. I never imagined I'd be staying for so much more. Much love. 💕
Congratulations you got through the delivery. I had 3 c- sections; the 1st 2 not expected and the 3 the result of the 1st one. Noone can prepare you.... but sharing helps those who have to have a c- section and who think make you think are a lesser person for not having a 'normal' birth. Make sure you look after you, your body healing and that little beauty will be well❤
Thankyou for sharing your story, It sounds so exhausting, nerve-racking yet exciting at the same time - a whirlwind of emotional and mental exhuastion. Im so glad you have your little Madison, and Im glad you now have your precious miracle, I hope you are recovering well, and I look forward to seeing you and your story as always
Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful moments with us so amazing to even remember my moments with my girls now 31, 27, and almost 22 years ago it never goes away when you hear those moments from a first time mom it just takes me back wow what a blessing enjoy it all truly a blessing be blessed 0:)
Congratulations Karin! Madison is adorable so sweet. Listening your story from the birth of your baby girl and the first time at home, felt like a trip in a time machine back to the birthday of my two children. All these strong feelings and emotions... Intense and wonderful. Thank you for sharing!
I admire you in all possible ways Karin, as an entrepreneur, as woman, now as a mom... you are so strong and a true role model for me. Really Love, looove your vlogs! Thanky you for sharing your journey with us, you always make me feel inspired and capable of anything. Finally, congratulations for your beautiful family!! ❤️❤️❤️ PD: Everytime I need inspiration, I watch your video "put in the work", is amazing the impact that it has in me 🙌
Awe. Thank you so much for your comment. I’m so glad that you find my content inspiring and that it resonates with you. Thanks so much for watching!! xxK ❤️
That's indeed a super exciting delivery journey, though with so much hardships resulting towards a beautiful Angel ❤️. That's the spirit and real will power of the couple! God bless! 😍
True Warrior Woman 🤰🏻30 hours plus and strong. Chris a great support & Coach. 🤱🏻Your a Mommy - Madison 💕 Love the narrative on the stages of your childbirth Karin #trooper #womenareamazing #parenting #GreatDad
I am ready to pop out anytime soon. It is my second child, the first one through c-section and now I am allowed to birth naturally. I am scared to death with it and many thoughts are popping in my head: am I and the baby survive? Will I manage the pain? Is my body going to make it? Is it going to be quick or it will take days? Thank you for sharing your story, you are a fighter and you are a MOTHER ❤️
I feel like the induction might have been a problem there… Medicine doesn’t really care about women, so they do the same shit they did 30 years ago. Just because you’re 40 doesn’t mean you can’t wait until the baby’s ready. It’s a case to case decision in my opinion. It’s so sad that first time mothers put so much trust in doctors and in the end they just work in checklists rather than the individual person I am so glad that you and Maddison are healthy ❤️❤️❤️ Congrats!
Don’t know why but I have exactly same story… when doc told me that it’s good for you to go for c sec I was like why now.. you could have suggested me earlier.. haha but I guess it’s the same strategy everywhere in the world these days .. the good part was that baby came out safe and healthy
All the pushes are very good for the baby even if three is a CC later (concerning the health od the baby). You didn't wasted your 30 hours. It was a great gift to your baby girl. Please read about that😉🌷
Firstly, congratulations!! I am so moved right now. I have been following you for years and love your ability to tell a story but this has hit so close to home for me. Our daughter was born 15 years ago and our birth stories are so very similar. Listening to you just now, my heart was racing and I was brought back to all of the incredible and difficult moments of her birth. Parenthood with all it’s ups and downs is such a blessing. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful story and for helping me re-live mine. Wishing you all the best.

Awwwww congratulations, Karin. I am so happy for you and your beautiful family. Thank you so much for allowing us to come on this journey with you.
🥰🥰
💗💗💗 the best days of your life, my son is 27 & i still remember our years together
Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl! I also had my first baby at 40, in labor for 34 hrs.. But totally worth it . Being a mother has been the best experience of my life. Thank you for sharing your story and being so vulnerable . Being a momma looks beautiful on you :)
oow. what an incredible and emotional story. Congratulations. Moms are indeed super heroes!!
You are such a strong brilliantly shining beautiful being! In all ways! I am the mother of 9 beautiful children, grandmother of 27 and 3 great grandchildren so far. I had 4 of mine at home… none of the births were easy and my 8th child just delivered her first on July 6th…similar trauma but was finally able to push him out. Bless you for sharing this beautiful gift with all!😇🥰
I don’t usually comment on videos, but Karin you are truly amazing. What an incredible story, I cried the whole way through! You seem so calm and present in your latest videos, it’s inspirational as a working Mama myself. I’ve had two c-sections in the last two years and I know how tough it is 🤍 Congratulations on beautiful baby Madison, she is a sunflower!
Awwww my mom and I are so happy for you! We overwhelmed with emotions … Baby Madison is perfect 😍. Love from Ghana 🇬🇭
Love this! My birthday is 2/17 and my husband’s is 2/19! Another February sweetheart! Congratulations!
I should be sleeping already but I could not shop watching. I'm glad you and Madison are ok. What a labor! I really appreciate that you told us about your experience, thank you ^^
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your story with the ups and downs and being so open and honest. It means more than you know ❤️❤️ (unrelated but she has the same birthday as my grandpa and one day before my birthday)
This was so emotional. I also cried a lot. Thank you for this video. I won't be able to experience this but at least now I know exactly how it goes. ❤
First of all you look so beautiful 😍 Thank you for sharing such a personal story! Congratulations to you both and Madison is a doll ! 💐💕💕
You made me tear . I also had a birth experience that I did not expect but at the end what really matters is that our babies made it out healthy. AMEN.
Karen the strength the you manifested and conjured up is inspiring!!!
I'm one of your subcribers and I really wanted to watch this video. Thank you for sharing this. Congradulations!
Congratulations Karin. You did so good & your daughter is very beautiful, looks just like dad🤍
Loved your story! Congratulations. It's so encouraging for so many aspects of life. Madison is adorable!
Congratulations on your child. So happy for you. I also got the epidural and I was also shaking like a leaf when I went in for the c-section. But it was all worth it in the end.
I like you and admire so much! Thank you for sharing some moments of your life on YT because watching you always makes me uplifted, energetic, happier, more confident and motivated. No matter how difficult experiences you cope with, your attitude towards it is so positive and constructive that it is an inspiration to be strong and never give up. And you are able to be so beautyful and elegant in all kinds of situations which is really inspiring. You are a true good vibes and good mood creator. Thank you for all that Karin 💖
Congratulations Karin and Chris! Madison is a beautiful baby and truly brings so much joy to the both of you. You are a very strong person. After all that you want to do it again ❤️
Cannot wait to follow Madison's journey. Thank you so much for sharing your incredible journey. ❤️🙏
Hi Karin
I enjoyed watching this vlog. I'm 30 weeks PREGNANT and needed to watch this vlog. Your delivery story is so authentically Beautiful.😘
LOL Oscars sounds were so funny. Your hair looks incredible! This story just made me cry. I remembered my delivery. I was in labor for 41 hours, 2 epidurals and a torn vagina later was the worst. Wildest part was I was giving birth during the 2001 Subway Series and if you can believe the people in my room were watching the game in between taking care of me. I was like WHAT is going on here? Your story sounded horrific girl but I’m glad you made it thru that. Baby Madison might have a great backstroke with all that flipping. What a story 💝
Thank you for sharing your story! You are strong lion moma ❤️ I was getting induced from Friday morning up til Monday morning with opening only 1 cm when they gave up and took me to C section. Baby had to be monitored every 2 hours, so I got to wake up every two hours for 3 days in a row. I don’t think I would be able to give birth that Monday morning even if I would have cervix open. Baby had umbilical cord around her neck 3 times and green waters. I’m grateful that she was so strong and waited to meet mommy and daddy ❤
An Amazing story - Beautiful, full of soul and Truth.
Thank you for sharing ✨🙏✨
Madison is absolutely Geougeous !!!
💜💜💜💞💞💞
What an incredible birth story Karin, you told it so well. Thank you for sharing it. You are right, no matter how much you try to understand wbat you are about to go through to give birth to your child, you just aren't able to until you have done it. I don't think anyone can imagine how it really feels and what you have to do 'within' to get through it. For those of us that are lucky enough to have the opportunity to bring children into the world, it really is like having a superpower. It's something that I will never take for granted.💕
What a heart wrenching birth story 💓💕💓At the same time, how wonderful it is that you now have your beautiful, healthy baby!!!! I’m an OB/NICU RN and see different births every day. No two are alike.
And I have 2 grown babies of my own. I remember their entrances into the world as if it were yesterday. And yes, 8 1/2 pounds is a big baby for a little thing like you!
Thank you so much for sharing this personal and special moment in your life. Madison is so beautiful. I followed you back then for your business tips. I never imagined I'd be staying for so much more. Much love. 💕
Child birth is such an extraordinary experience that is so difficult to describe unless you've through it yourself. Well done Karin! :)
Congratulations you got through the delivery. I had 3 c- sections; the 1st 2 not expected and the 3 the result of the 1st one. Noone can prepare you.... but sharing helps those who have to have a c- section and who think make you think are a lesser person for not having a 'normal' birth. Make sure you look after you, your body healing and that little beauty will be well❤
Such a beautiful story and well done Karin ❤️❤️❤️ you guys will be the best parent for Madison
Had our babies 1 day apart ❤ I am also an interior design enthuziast 😊 love your content!
Beautiful story Karin, thank you for sharing. Madison is so adorable 🥰 and yes I too cried for a week after giving birth to my son (had a c-section).
This was so beautiful!! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
Thankyou for sharing your story, It sounds so exhausting, nerve-racking yet exciting at the same time - a whirlwind of emotional and mental exhuastion. Im so glad you have your little Madison, and Im glad you now have your precious miracle, I hope you are recovering well, and I look forward to seeing you and your story as always

Omg you just described my labor, same thing happened but in 24h we did all this and everything went well🙏🏻
Great Job! Tons of blessings
I am ready to pop out anytime soon. It is my second child, the first one through c-section and now I am allowed to birth naturally. I am scared to death with it and many thoughts are popping in my head: am I and the baby survive? Will I manage the pain? Is my body going to make it? Is it going to be quick or it will take days? Thank you for sharing your story, you are a fighter and you are a MOTHER ❤️
congrats..thank you for sharing your story!
Congratulations!!!
Thank you!! ❤️
I feel like the induction might have been a problem there… Medicine doesn’t really care about women, so they do the same shit they did 30 years ago. Just because you’re 40 doesn’t mean you can’t wait until the baby’s ready. It’s a case to case decision in my opinion. It’s so sad that first time mothers put so much trust in doctors and in the end they just work in checklists rather than the individual person
I am so glad that you and Maddison are healthy ❤️❤️❤️ Congrats!
congratulations. you are a super mom, keep inspiring =)
Don’t know why but I have exactly same story… when doc told me that it’s good for you to go for c sec I was like why now.. you could have suggested me earlier.. haha but I guess it’s the same strategy everywhere in the world these days .. the good part was that baby came out safe and healthy
😢😢😢😢 so heart warming
Thank you for sharing..❤
Hermosa foto Karin desde Argentina !!!!
Congratulations!
Thank you so much! ❤️
All the pushes are very good for the baby even if three is a CC later (concerning the health od the baby). You didn't wasted your 30 hours. It was a great gift to your baby girl. Please read about that😉🌷
Proverbs 22:6 “Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.”
Congratulations! I am happy for your family! :)
But this story made me think “do I really want to go through this?” Such a horror story 🙈🙈🙈
