*adoption and surrogacy have entered the chat*
Mace Windu 🤣
in the name of the galactic senate, i approve of this comment's humor.
i can never have a baby naturally; I *know* that I’m not strong enough for this. Every time someone I know gives birth, every one of these videos I watch, I know that I can’t. luckily i also know I was called to adopt!! but a pregnancy??? no. nope
But then another woman would have to experience the birthing process😳
That's what I'm saying.
everyone: childbirth is the most magnificent and beautiful thing ever
allison: it was horrific and disgusting
I already know it will be hard, I’m not even 18

I love simply too lol 😆

sO i aM cOnFuSIoN my daughter is due mommas day!
“It was sending all the oestrogen to my breasts, thereby leaving my vagina a desert wasteland.” I LOST IT. ALISON’S STORYTELLING WAS SO FUNNY😂😂
"I'm over here dying and you're going to sleep!? SNORING?!....... Was i supposed to have some sympathy for that?"
😂😂😂 I'm done
“You’re gonna be wearing diapers, people need to start telling you that” well thank you for the heads up
Monique Escovedo honestly
You really will though. Overnight maxi pads will be your best friend lol
Yup I got the thickest pads I ever had after my son was born.
@Lauretta Eck You'll be pooping still
@Lauretta Eck You can't get up all the time. Like my mom couldn't get up cause she was in labor as well
Alison is a hoot, she needs her own standup special.
I was looking for this comment ♥️😂♥️♥️. I AGREE
Omg agreeee! She cracks me up
we love her sm
I was hunting for this too
she is so funny haha I love when she tells any story!
“I don’t even know how the second baby got in me” I’m ROLLING 😂
How I feel about my 4th 😂😂😭
I laughed embarrassingly loud here in public. That was gold 😂

girl you don't need to have kids 🥰 you can adopt or just be child-free
She said “was I supposed to have sympathy for him” 💀💀
symone rache hahahahaha hahahahaha that was funny
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My husband also fell asleep while I was in labor. I CaN nOt forgive him. I think I would have been less offended he had just walked out of the hospital. If you have a husband/boyfriend that is going to be with you in labor then I strongly suggest you talk this it before hand. You dont want to be in pain AND angry trust me.
Before I saw her story I thought you were quoting what one of the moms thought about her own child 😂
Mine sat in my room eating Chinese food while I was at 6cm and pre-epidural... If you've never had a child, they won't let you eat or drink anything during labor on the off chance you have to be put under anesthesia, due to risk of choking on/aspirating any potential vomit. I shot so many daggers at him at that point! He's lucky he survived lol. I've gotten over it now, but it was a whole ordeal at the time.
Fun fact:
You didn't search for this
Nope recommendation 101 and my morning just started
How’d you know?!😱😂

I literally don't wanna have a child. Idk how these women do it and I am so grateful how my mom did it.
the first woman is such a good storyteller, i was literally so captivated the entire time omf
Yes totally!
I died she's fantastic
She’s a riot

“My daughter broke my vagaygay”
Me: already off to a interesting start...
I like how she was gonna break up with him and then had the baby and now are married with two kids
I think she broke up with someone else
Evelyn Blackthorn she said she's married to her baby daddy when telling the story. i think its really cute.
@@DreamerxPunk that's unfortunate tbh
I pooped inside my mom too. I literally ate it in the birth canal and ended up almost dying because I was legit choking on my own poop

garden of eden I pooped too and it got in my eyes and they got infected
Red Ivy they weren’t born so it’s not that bad lmao
“ sort of shrivels up and *DIES* “
I read this the second she said that 🤣
“My daughter was born sunny side up”
What
No breach is when the but comes out first. And sunny side up is when the baby comes out looking at the sky instead of the ground
Just an easy way to explain 😂
@@zc262 I thought that was just a type of breach position. They're totally separate?
The baby's head was the wrong way
🍳
i lost it at “my body is so f*ck*ng stupid” 🤣
side note: i really appreciate these videos. they’re very blunt and educational. personal stories are always nice to learn from rather than random textbook words/ reading materials
That first one was so funny! "I have no idea how the second one got inside of me".
Ikr!! I need more!!

When Kieona said that her bf fell asleep while she was in the pain I lost it
nctpink my husband slept SO much while we were in the hospital. Next time I’m bringing a nerf gun so I can shoot him and wake him up.
@@indiamartinez5327 omg 😂😂😂
India Martinez lol my husband was asleep the whole time I was having contractions at home. To his defense he spent most the night putting furniture together but I was still not happy about it 😂
nctpink my husband starts reading a book while I was in labor. I told him to put that book down and hold my hand or he was never touching me again. Lucky for him he put the book down.
My husband did too
“are you sure because on television everyone’s water breaks” famous last words before having a baby on the couch
Yea my mums water never broke with my brother and he was born in his sac
Imogen xX damn i bet that was crazy to see
Emily Fraker yea it was
2 of my 4 didn't break until I started pushing.
10-15% of women water break
Alison is hilarious. Her storytelling makes me so comfy and relaxed. Feels almost like listening to Briget Jones herself 🤣

I actually want kids when I’m older. I always dream about having the perfect family and everything, but I’m extremely scared of everything. I don’t get why guys don’t deal with painful things like this, and why it has to be the girls that are pregnant and get periods & etc (I haven’t gotten mines yet.) It’s not fair to me.
I want biological kids but don't want to give birth. 😫
Alison had her own comedy special and i love it
I must find and watch! She's hysterical! 🤣
My mom had 4 kids
no epidural

@@gypsierose3611 OMG SHE IS THE QUEEN
My mom had 5 with no epidural
"I don't even know how the second baby got in me" 😂😂😂
12:01 "oh honey you're only dilated a centimeter and a half" LMAO
They cant give you pain meds even when you’re having contractions????
K K it’s not good for the baby so they try to avoid it til you’re further along so you won’t need more.
K K I was induced with my second and having contractions with no breaks between and they only took me to delivery and offered pain relief when I was 5cm! My labour was very short though so I’m sure they would give it sooner
Leah Violet you are so strong. I have so much respect. You did that momma!! I only hope mommas have more control and choices in their delivery care in the future.
K K their is something called “laughing gas” or nitrous dioxide that some hospitals offer as pain relief when your having contractions but not fully dilated to have an epidural
This gave me just one more reason to adopt a child, I always knew I would never give birth because i just feel deep down that it’s not in the cards for me. But I would absolutely love to adopt a child, maybe an older one, and accept the challenges that come with it :)
*"I have my daughter. Great... she's a gift from the lord... awesome* 🤷🏻♀️ *"*
I died!!! 😂😂😂😭😭😭
Well I’m NEVER having kids I can’t even handle period pain 😂😭
Yo same
Omg same 😂😂
Isabella Marinilli My sister can’t handle poop pain 😐⭐️💜❤️😁
They gave me all sorts of stuff while I was being induced. No pain, just a lot of napping and accidental farting. 😂
I'm so fortunate to say I never experience pain when on my period.
And same. Definitely not having kids.
When I was born there was something wrong with my lungs, so I didn't get enough oxygen. I almost became disabled, and I could have died too. Luckily I'm fine
praise God! 🥰
I'm a triplet, yay for my mom!

Y’all better be giving her amazing presents 😂
Amazinggggg
honestly, the reason why i dont want kids.
Saaaaaame !!!!

That’s ridiculous They should ask
Brenda Bush Def would’ve kicked them out the room.
I already don’t wanna have kids and this made me even more ok with that decision 🥴
Hi
How are u ❤❤😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I do love newborns but….I don’t want to give birth.
As a 11 year old watching this makes never want a baby 😫😖
My respect for mothers just got 10000000x higher
My mom said they did the student thing to her. She said youre so stressed, flustered and in pain that you just sign the papers. They really know when to ask you😂
kiara person Hahahh That’s was not my experience at all. I had a 48 hour birth, 30 hours in I was asked about students and I was able to give them a very strong NO still 😂 if you want or don’t want something bad enough you’ll deal with it when the time comes.
My horror story: it was still about a month until my due date. I had gotten myself ready for work and stopped by my OB/GYN for my 36 week visit. She noticed there was some protein in my urine and told me to go see another OB/GYN at a different facility and as I am walking out the door she says good luck. Turns out I had preeclampsia -I was going to have the baby that day! 12 hours later and I didn’t get past 6 cm so they had to do a C-section. And they didn’t numb me well enough so when they initially started cutting me I felt it all! ( After me saying “ouch ouch ouch” they gave me a higher dose of medication) - my baby wound up losing quite a bit of blood so he had a blood transfusion shortly right after he was born. I’m happy to say three years later he’s a happy healthy toddler🤗
Jesus hope your all good
My jaw literally dropped reading this oh my god
person person oh yeah, I’m fine now ☺️. This was 3 years ago. I was 33 at the time, plus I was about 50 lbs overweight so I was somewhat high risk going into the pregnancy.

this makes me scared but they’re all smiling so maybe it’s worth it
Fareena Besitos not all pregnancies or births at the same. I had two natural births and they were both easy. Don’t let horror stories scare you.
Mrs. Reed i’m glad you did ! that’s amazing and i hope for the same❤️ but like one of the women said, i wanna be prepared in case it doesn’t go easy
It’s not lmao
It’s 100% worth it. After all the pain you kind of forget everything you go through because now you have this wonderful beautiful new life that you have made. It’s not easy but definitely worth it
Tiffani Hollenbeck agree! You don’t remember the pain. You’ll be too focused on the miracle of your child’s birth 🤗

My mom's story of when she had me.
I was standing in that womb like a freaking soldier, so she needed a c section. A few days later, she was having dinner at home, and the stitches on her stomach had broken. Dad can't drive, and we have no relatives who could get to our house quickly, so my mom had to drive to A&E (emergency room) for 10 minutes while bleeding, with a newborn and a 4 year old.
This isn’t my story, but my MIL’s.
When she gave birth to my husband late. She was 2 weeks past due when she went into labor. This increases the chances of the baby pooping inside you, so they were nervous. Everything was going semi-smoothly and my FIL said “hey, thank God he didn’t poop!”
Immediately when his head appeared, he pooped himself. Like he was scared. MIL had to get hosed out.
That's traumatic 😖
Omg😬
I love Alison so much😂😂 she is hilarious
I really appreciate their honesty, especially Alison! She is hilarious! 🙌❤️
I’m here for Alison👌 all of them are so real though....much appreciated.
i feel so bad for laughing at the first woman's story but it's so funny and tragic at the same time
that child literally saved her relationship thank gos

i think they meant to say God 🥰
I'm just here for Alison. she's hilarious!!! lmaooo

I literally can’t stop laughing I’m in tears with Alison’s story. Thank you. I needed that .
😂😂😂😂 Omg when Allison said "I don't even know how the second baby got in me" I lost it. She's awesome at telling stories. Also I have 2 stories 1) I went into labour with my son at 5 am. At 2:30 pm my contractions literally stopped. Then around 8 pm they start up again and my son was born at 8:17 pm. My husband told me that the town we lived in was under tornado watch. 2) My mom said that I was born in a dinky little mining town. The day I was born they were thinking of evacuating the hospital due to a forest fire.

What's with your family and births during natural disasters? Lol.
As a nursing student who just finished my maternity rotation, it's really interesting to hear about cases that we study in textbooks but rarely get to see during clinical, spoken through the mouths of people who have experienced them
LexyBlexy I got subcutaneous emphysema after pushing for 2.5 hours. None of the staff had ever seen it before and they thought I was having an adverse reaction to pitocin. The doctor who rushed in (we have midwives in New Zealand and doctors only intervene if necessary) actually had to google my symptoms on her phone. The left side of my face had swelled up and crackled like cellophane. I actually had staff from different parts of the hospital - like a surgeon and other midwives - come and see me and feel the weird popping. sensation under my skin. Nothing major just a pin prick in my lung and oxygen trapped in my skin - didn’t cause any discomfort, went away in three days and didn’t reoccur with my second birth.
I'm a nursing student too, and since I'm doing clinical next year, I love watching this stuff to kind of prepare myself! I find it so interesting!
The second lady's story is so magical she had a lovely happily ever after
