Praise God things turned out as they did! You are very blessed! You’re doing a great service by sharing your story. Women need to be made aware that things aren’t always routine with pregnancy and delivery! My son is an OBGYN. Sometimes, he shares trying cases with me. I’ll never forget when one of his patients lost her baby. He was eating lunch at a restaurant with another doc. The patient saw him and walked over to his table. She apologized for interrupting him and told him her baby hadn’t been moving that day. She to thought it was probably nothing. He told her to get right over to his office and he’d meet her there. He did a Sono on her. There was no heartbeat and the baby had died! The mom thought my son was joking with her when he told her! They both just cried and cried together. My son had lost a baby himself. His baby was born at around 24 weeks. He knew first hand what it was like to lose a baby. Nothing is ever assured until babies are actually born. Mothers worry so much, but you can NEVER be to careful. If a baby stops moving, always go get it checked out! Don’t worry about being a bother. Your baby’s life is ALL that matters in times like that. I’m so happy that God had you at the right place at the right time!!! Keep telling your story! You never know who you may tell that needs to know that these things do happen! Blessings to you and your little family!
thank you for watching! what a sad and heartbreaking story about your son! :( You can never be too worried and it's so important for moms to follow their instincts!

@@Audreyreadingcorner Absolutely! Will you make an update when you get time?
@@sarahdooley6164 absolutely! I hope to get some very clear answers here soon!
Never seen your videos before but this story is so so close to mine as far as the labor. 36+1 when we had our first because my blood pressure was so dangerously high. Related so much even down to needing to be treated as Strep positive because you just had the test done and having no bags packed or anything lol. Love your vulnerability and so happy things worked out for the best for all involved
Thank you for sharing, what a journey. Best wishes to you all, I think you're lovely and I pray God blesses your family always 💕
THAT IS A MIRACLE STORY....THE BEST THING ABOUT MIRACLES IS THEY HAPPEN. THIS MORNING I WAS WATCHING RUclips AND YOUR VIDEO CAME UP NORMALLY I DONT WATCH VIDEOS OVER 20 MINUTES BUT GOD SAID YOU SHOULD WATCH THIS AND I AM SO GLAD I DID. YOUR STORY WAS JUST WHAT I NEEDED. I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO DO A RUclips CHANNEL FOR A WHILE BUT JUST WAS UNSURE BUT AFTER HEARING YOUR STORY AND HOW YOU SPOKE OF YOUR STORY AND HOW GOD WORKED IN YOUR LIFE GAVE ME THE PUSH I NEEDED TO SHARE MY STORY. I HAD A MIRACLE BIRTH STORY AS WELL. ALL I NEED TO DO NOW IS HIT RECORD. YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WILL BE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS AS YOU CONTINUE ON THIS JOURNEY.
it truly is a miracle story! I am very glad this has given you the motivation to share yours- let me know when you do, I would like to watch it! God works in miraculous ways and we all have a story to tell.
If you put one up I’d love to see it.
This sounds so scary! I’m glad you’re both ok😮❤
Thank you so much. I’m glad we’re all ok too. Definitely a scary time!
So happy you’re both well ❤
Thanks for sharing your story. I appreciate it because I had elements of your birth story in my own story when my daughter Audrey was born. Ended up having to have an unplanned c section because her heart rate kept dropping while I was being induced. Ended up her umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck twice. She didn’t have to go to the NICU but it took me a bit to accept that nothing went the way I had hoped when she was born. Wishing you and your daughter all the best!
Thank you for sharing your story!! It’s definitely a grieving process when you have a birth not at all how you planned. But the end result is having your precious baby and I’m sure we all would go through it again to have our babies here!💕
So glad you are both okay!
This is the first video I've seen from you. I'm so sorry you had to go through all that but I'm so happy for you that you and your baby are healthy. Seemed like one thing after another but you had some terrific doctors and support. I wish you the best and hope that this whole experience helped you and your family unit be stronger and more connected
Thank you for such a sweet comment! The doctors and support system were incredible!! Definitely a tough month but it was all worth it 💕
You are so good at staying calm! I would’ve been asking questions, wondering how everything is “normal” but taking several hours for my stress test, keeping me overnight… my first I was in the hospital for 3 days before giving birth and needed to know everything all the time 😅
Wow. I had a partial molar pregnancy ( diagnosed after a D&C for a missed miscarriage at 17 weeks). I was monitored for hormones for a year. I am amazed that you have a healthy baby and SO happy for you!
I’m so sorry for what you went through :(
What a wonderful story. So thankful for you sharing. What an awesome testimony to our Lord and his power to heal and whisper to you and for you to hear! Xoxo ❤️🙏
I’ve seen some sad stories of perfect near term babies passing away in the womb. It’s HEARTBREAKING! That’s the near miss you experienced and the Holy Spirit wasn’t nudging you , he was pushing you!!
What a rough start to what should have been all joy!
Sometimes these things happen and they about stop your heart with worry only to turn out ok. I don’t understand it but I trust God you know? I’m glad it all turned out well!!
Prayers ❤
Spinal tap = needle in the spinal canal and some of the cerebrospinal fluid is taken for diagnostic purposes. So sort of an in/out procedure. Epidural = Catheter in your spinal canal also but in the epidural space and they administer an anesthetic that makes you go numb. The needle is removed but a plastic catheter stays in place so they can administer the anesthetic at different times or continuously. I'm sorry this happened to you. While traumatic but also a blessing. That's hard but, you handled it with poise and grace. ❤
So this video came up randomly on my reccommended.
I've never watched someone's traumatic birth story, but seeing as I've had a traumatic birth once (with my first child), I was interested.
Anyway, what an amazing story from your life 😭.
With my second child, I finally got the perfect birth I dreamt of, but he ended up being jaundice, needing light therapy, then having problems de-sating like your little one did. It happened when he was drinking or had a paci in. The doctors were not sure why it was happening because he was full term and it usually only happens in premies. I was so scared to go home with him because I was terrified it would happen at home. (He's perfectly fine now). Anyway, we ended up staying 7 days at the hospital and that was traumatic enough (I was also very upset because I had to be away from my toddler who I had never been away from for more than a few hours at a time). When it was time for me to get some rest, I felt like my heart was breaking in two, just laying there thinking how my baby is having troubles and im having to be away from my other child. My experience was bad enough, I can't imagine the whirlwind of emotions and events you went through in such a short period of time. You are a warrior. I'm so glad your baby is safe at home with you and that you continue to get good news about your own health. ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story!! I can’t imagine going through what you did having a child at home! Just the feeling of being torn would be the absolutely most heartbreaking part 😭😭you are a strong mama and I can only imagine the emotions and struggles during your time!! But and you did it! I’m so happy your second baby ended up being healthy and didn’t have to stay any longer in the NiCU. Whether it’s an hour or a year, it’s the worst experience having your baby in the NiCU and feeling so helpless :( thank you for sharing your story!
Thank you for sharing this
Sending prayers🙏
Omg! As soon as you said Fetal haemorrhage my heartbeat went crazy. I’ve never heard of someone else having it. I had it with my son and was induced at 38 weeks.
Oh how scary!! It’s definitely a really scary situation. Did your son have transfusions? Was everything ok?
No, when he was born he was okay. They induced to prevent anaemia.
It’s great to hear your baby girl is doing well it’s definitely scary especially when it’s something you never hear about. It usually happens when the mother is in an accident or something and it damages the blood vessels in the placenta, but I wasn’t in any sort of accident/fall.
@@drabby7925 yes they say it happens with a fall or accident and I wasn't in any of those either. I'm so glad he was good when he was born! :)
So so sorry this is a story of miracles after miracle god bless you and your family sending god vibes love ❤️you yes it was the holy Spirit watching over you and your family 🙏🏻❤️🍼❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰
You saved her life ❤❤❤❤. I probably shouldn’t be listening to your story because I am 26 weeks pregnant with my first and have fairly bad chronic fatigue/pain so not the smoothest experience to begin with lol. But I’m glad I listened to it because it is honestly a beautiful story of how much you cared for and appreciated your daughter, she pulled you through this whole experience. It is really touching to hear despite the scary things that happened by a miracle everything turned around. Thank goodness for the medical system and your close kick count monitoring!
I have one question, did you not feel your baby kick at all or was it just less than usual? I’m still trying to figure out when I get to that stage of pregnancy, what I should be trying to monitor/or will be normal/not normal xx
Oh no!! I hope so badly this hasn’t scared you for the remainder of your pregnancy. Just keep in mind this is SO rare so you will have a perfect birth and everything will be perfect for you 💕I’m for sure not a dr so I don’t want to give any ‘advice’ but I will say you will start to understand your baby’s movements and routines and will know when something doesn’t seem right. So make sure you are just aware and if you’re at all second guessing, go to your dr! You can never ever be too safe. For me, she wasn’t kicking at all. And they should be kicking about 10 times an hour towards the end of tiger pregnancy. But I would ask your O/B for a more clear idea of what you should be looking out for. Congrats on your pregnancy and keep being an awesome mama!
@@Audreyreadingcorner thank you for your kind response. Pregnancy is just full of surprises. Right now I am dealing with blood sugar spikes and lows, ughh. I am testing and failed the 1- hour glucose test, so that’s my main focus right now to do the three hour test ASAP so I can calm down about that lol. I am only 28 weeks so it’s right about that time to focus on this I guess.
Thank you for telling your experience. I’m so glad you were able to listen to your body, it’s a rare thing now a days to sit still for long, but it sounded like your pregnancy made you, which was a blessing in disguise, thank GOODNESS 💕💕. Miracle of all miracles.
The kicking has become more apparent since I wrote this haha, so it’s nice to know a routine and if things change I would definitely reach out to the gyno to make sure everything is OK. You are right too about not worrying too much because what will happen will happen within reason and doing what we can :)
Wow, what a miracle. I’m so happy I came across your story! You are doing amazing! God is so good. I have a two week old baby currently and shared my birth vlog on my channel! Would love to chat sometime!
Thank you stopping by and watching! I subscribed to your channel and just started your birth vlog! Congrats to you!!💕children are such blessings 💕
My 5th baby wasn’t kicking at 39 weeks. Since he was my 5th I knew he should be moving a lot more. Luckily they induced me because I was 39 weeks. His heart rate dropped with each contraction so they stopped my labor when I was 8 cm dilated after trying everything. They rushed me in for an emergency C-section at 2 am. He had a true knot in his cord and my placenta was 40% detached. So luckily they did the C-section and he survived. He just needed 1 week in the NiCU. It was scary, but I’m so thankful he’s healthy!
I’m so happy you listened to your gut and went in and saved his life!! It sounds like you went through something traumatic as well but I am so happy he is healthy and you listened to your mom instincts!
Praise God 💗💗
This is really interesting thank you for sharing. I just wanted to say that in the UK we discourage the idea of it being 'normal' for movements to change towards the end of pregnancy due to lack of space, so if movements slow down this is NOT normal and should be checked. Not sure if the advice is different in the US but just wanted to clarify for anyone watching from the UK! :)
thank you for the clarification! Every pregnancy is different and we do something here where we 'count the kicks' and there should be roughy 10 kicks an hour and if that's not the case to get it checked out! it is definitely important to notice any changes and be aware of anything that isn't 'normal'. I probably should have clarified it in the video so thanks for pointing this out!
It's different every pregnancy. With me, I had a BIG baby. For the past two weeks she rarely moved, she physically couldn't. She was 9.5lbs. with my second pregnancy, with twins who were full term 7&8lbs, the same thing happened, but drinking juice, laying down, ect, always worked. If the tricks aren't working, go asap!
I had a complete molar (egg that was fertilized had no genetic material in it) pregnancy that had to be removed in September. I was so very sick and knew something wasn't right. With a complete molar there is not an embryo. Sounds like yours was a partial molar? Definitely a miracle. I have had to have my hcg levels continually monitored to make sure it doesn't go into cancer. I hope everything goes well for you.
Did you also have extreme nausea? I was so nauseous from the beginning- everything triggered me. I naively thought that’s a good sign in early pregnancy. Nope. It was a partial molar pregnancy. The baby died at 17 weeks.
@Asha Burtell yes, I had severe nausea, which I hadn't experienced before. Also heart palpitations and vertigo. I have had 5 sons, and 8 miscarriages. From the start, I felt something was very wrong.
😭😭
😭
God is good 🙏🏻🙏🏻💕
God is good!! Any updates as to whether you need chemo? Hope your bloods have remained stable 🙏
(i’m sorry, commenting after a few seconds here - i learned something already : you said “my husband declined to join” : this neutral language is what i need to use more - i would never phrase anything that way, i would say “he didn’t want to join” - and i’d probably say why and talk about it for ten minutes. 😞. ok i’m gonna keep listening
Thank you for watching 💕
❤
🙏🙏🙏
God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers ❤️❤️
I’m so happy that your baby is okay 👍 and that your cancer just disappears 👍 I know what it’s like to be told that someone you LOVE has cancer our 7 yr old was diagnosed with cancer osteosarcoma and with me also it was a gut feeling he was playing sports 🏈 and he started complaining that his right knee hurt and a mom knows there child I called our dr and mentioned it he told me if he kept complaining to bring him in and daddy took him in I had to work and he thought an X-ray was a good idea he got it done I went to the dr office the next day after work it was on my mind I walked in they took me into his office I knew this was going to be bad I’ve never been in his office he came in put the X-ray up and said That is a tumor and I don’t know what kind 😫 I fell to my knees and had a full blown panic attack a mother’s worst nightmare and I knew that the life we had was gone forever 😭😭💔💔 I tell everyone that has children do not take them for granted and make memories ❤️❤️❤️❤️♥️
😭😭😭ohh my goodness what a story! I’m so so sorry you had to go through all that. I truly believe we have a mom instinct that no one else will ever understand. I hope so badly your son is ok now?? Will be praying
@@Audreyreadingcorner Thank you 🙂 unfortunately his cancer kept coming back 😭 after chemo and getting his leg amputated 😭😭💔 nothing kind led the cancer we took him home and tried to live life at this point he was 9 yrs old and sissy was 8 yrs old and he passed away at home in my arms 😭😭💔 it’s something that no mother wants to experience 💔 enjoy your baby and take many pictures ❤️
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I would suggest you get some therapy counseling ❤️
Im a RN, im sorry im confused, what kind of cancer did you have?
I know- it’s all confusing because I had many different things. It started as a molar pregnancy and I also had a fetal hemorrhage. Then the cancer is choriocarcinoma.

So glad you are ok and your child. As a RN doing my own research, I am interested to know if you had received the covid vaccine, when and how many?
thank you so much!! Good luck on your research. I will decline answering that and hope you understand!! :)
What is the correlation between the two? I'm interested 😳
@@Hannah-gn3vg There isn’t, she’s just trying to serve an agenda.
@@KendallM0219 and what is that?
As an RN, who is anti c. vaccine, I'd like to know as well. We aren't allowed to know from the powers that be how it impacts people, so have to try to gather info based on what people, who are willing to share, experience and what we see in our patient populations.
GOD whated her here.
Miracle 🤢🤢
Ha ha All men have very very important jobs in Las Vegas when their wife is in last few weeks of pregnancy. And is as big as a house!!!
Thank you so much for watching! And actually Las Vegas is part of my husband’s work territory and he had an important meeting with a hospital he had to cancel, just to clarify.
Lol “spinal tap”
6 mins in and you are still explaining what you are Going to say.
Probably because it’s painful for her to tell!
You can skip forward if you are that impatient 😐
Hope things get better you'll get through this 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Praise God 💗💗
God is good 🙏🏻🙏🏻💕
Hope things get better you'll get through this 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
