I actually choked on my breakfast when Jaci said “she’s bald” 😭😭😭😂
I hit rewind like 5x because it was so funny I had to hear it again 😂😂😂
Benny is a cancer and Jaci is a Capricorn - sister signs and the perfect match for each other! 🥹Cancer and Capricorn represent the axis of commitment and devotion- the most perfect way to define your journey to motherhood. Benny is so lucky to have you and Leif. Congrats ❤️
“She’s bald!” Screaming
as an infectious disease epidemiologist, I have no idea why that urine culture took five days....They should have done a molecular (PCR) urine/UTI panel....it would have taken hours to confirm if and what type of bacteria was in your urine.
I was screaming at the screen!!!! Like how?????
@@hopefulwanderer4463 no for real like pleaseee jaci go to a different hospital than whatever one that was!! Cuz they screwed you!! That should have never turned into a. Kidney infection!!! Poor thing
She went to her regular OBs office get it done so it was an outpatient lab. Hospital of course would have been much faster but at the time she was trying to avoid going to the hospital
@@madelinelewisx I want to be an epidemiologist🥺 I have my bachelor’s in biology rn. Applying to mph programs. But any tips?
It takes my urologist almost 7 days to get cultures back. They send them off to labcorp.
I gave birth 5 days ago and the part where you said you just knew her and your mother’s intuition was spot on made me 🥹🥹🥹 definitely a soul connection 💗
Tears are down my face from laughing so hard at “she’s Bald!” .
NEVER SPRINTED SO QUICKLY
"I know in my gut... that has no microbiome left" PLEASE HAHAHAH
I had this playing in the other room while I was in my kitchen making coffee and bursted out laughing at the "shes bald" hahahah congrats Jaci
Chelsey and your cousin giving Benny their breastmilk is so sweet and made me so emotional😭 so so happy for your family💜
“Aren’t you so happy that it’s her” 🥹🥹🥹 JACI I SOBBED when you said that. I am so incredibly happy for you and Leif!!!
I am so so sorry all that happened Jaci, but so glad you and Benny are safe and through it! Thank you for sharing your story and spreading awareness about these very serious conditions. And the strength it took to choose not to continue breastfeeding after everything your body as been through is incredible. I'm sure that will help so many new moms to feel peace if they choose not to or can't for some reason as well. Congrats to you and Leif!
So glad people started talking about birth stories! It’s soooo helpful to be aware❤
I have a 5 month old daughter named Noa and the bit where you talk about how much Leif’s sister loves her name seriously warms my heart. I’ve had a slight nervous feeling that my daughter would feel some type of way bc I named her a more traditional boy name but I love this perspective!!
The amount of similarities I experience in my birth last December triggered me. I’m so sorry you went through all this! The epidural running out, the amount of hours in labor, the lack of food and water for days. And I got mastitis infection and my best friend brought over breast milk. 😭 I learned female friendships make me the wealthiest woman in the world. So happy you’re healthy now and Benny bb. ❤️
ladies take D-mannose for a UTI!! as soon as i feel that slight feeling i start taking it multiple times a day or dissolving it in water & it makes such a difference. obviously if the symptoms persist then go to the doctor asap but it’s really amazing!
THIS!!! i used to get chronic UTIs and this changed my life.
Thank you for this tip! I’ve been dealing with almost constant UTIs since March. No one can find anything wrong! I’m going to try this
My breastfeeding journey ended at 3 months just because I couldn’t make enough after also having a very traumatic birth, it was hard at first to let that go but my bond with my son is just as strong as if I were to breastfeed, you’re her whole world, you were made for each other and nothing can change that bond you guys have just by being her mom. You’re doing amazing Jaci💞
birth stories are my FAVORITES!!! so happy for Jaci and Benny and Chelsey and Elwood
Oh girl the second you said the headache wasn't going away... I knew. You went THROUGH it oml.
So, SO happy for you! I also had to go back to the hospital for four days just five days after my daughter was born for two emergency surgeries and know firsthand how hard it is. I am so happy you are feeling better and wish you the best, always!
I got preeclampsia postpartum, after getting induced at 37 weeks for a higher BP as a precaution. I can relate to that feeling of sitting in the ER knowing your tiny sweet baby was screaming and hungry for you at home with your husband. Sooo glad you’re doing better & love sweet bald Benny 🥹🫢
This happened to me too and it was awful. Being alone in the ER because I didn’t want my baby there so my husband stayed home. It was so scary and I had no idea you could develop preeclampsia postpartum. I wish doctors warned you of this!
Omg I have a 4 month old and had preeclampsia at the end of my pregnancy, had to be induced at 36 weeks and had a super traumatic birth experience ending with an emergency c section. My nurses said soooo many young women have been coming in recently with preeclampsia to deliver early, and they have no idea why. Glad you and baby B made it through safe!! 💕
SHE’s BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKK💕💕💕 Red hair! Freckle Skin! Gone head do ya dance! GET IT JACI GET IT JACI GET IT JACI👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤪🤪
Jaci, you are my hero 😭 couldn’t be happier for you and Benny and that she is healthy. Also, there shouldn’t be a stigma around not breastfeeding but I think it’s so great that you shared for all the other girlies going through it!
Been following you for years Jaci! So unbelievably happy for you and Leif❤❤❤ Welcome back 🫶🏼🫶🏼
“She’s bald! 🤷🏼♀️” I’ve never laughed so hard 🤣
Something that irritates the hell out of me in regards to childbirth in a traditional hospital is how often the woman literally knows nothing about what’s being given to her. Not saying you wouldn’t have chosen to have the magnesium but it bothers me so much they don’t give you all the details. I went through a similar exp (preeclampsia/induction) and there was sooo much I didn’t find out about until later. 😩
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR BREASTFEEDING JOURNEY! I nursed our daughter for 3 months and recently had to switch to formula because she was getting so sick from my milk. It was so hard to make that decision to switch but you are so right that we need to do what is best for the child. We tried everything for 12 weeks to make it work - but my daughter was suffering because I selfishly wanted to keep breastfeeding. I needed to hear your story today and I truly believe this was the most perfect timing (we switched two days ago and I’ve been so upset about it). So THANK YOU! ❤
I’m so so happy for you 🥹 the biggest congratulations!! The way my husband came RUNNING upstairs to tell me this video was live bc he knew how much I was looking forward for it 😂
Why are these my fave episodes😂? Equal parts intrigued, fascinated, and terrified!! I love the detail
I cannot believe they didn’t let you eat!? I was induced with preeclampsia too, had the mag drip, all the things. But definitely was allowed to eat?? Crazy!
So happy for you, Jaci!!! 💗You're freaking glowing. I had to stop breastfeeding after a couple of months when I went back to work full-time (a full-time WFH mom is a damn balance lmao). All of my emotional turmoil went out the window when I realized my relationship with my baby girl *actually* became better than ever; I felt more in control, stable, happy, and balanced. Our daughter is growing perfectly and as smiley as ever because of it (even hitting all of her milestones early!). 💗 You're a wonderful mother already; always do what feels best for you and YOUR family. Sending love to all y'all! 💗
The way I went to the bathroom immediately after I finished this episode
Appreciate you sharing your experience. We are three years into our IVF journey, about to start our next FET. Something that might be related to your end of pregnancy experience- studies have shown IVF pregnancies with frozen embryos increased risk of preeclampsia because there is no corpus luteum. So glad you safely delivered
Wait this is amazing information! Thank you for sharing!!!
I feel peace in my life now that jaci is back 🙌🏼 and honestly, I was so worried about her infection cause she posted on TikTok once and never again so I just wanted to know everything was ok. Sending so much love for your family Jaci ❤
so so so happy for you Jaci and so sweet to watch Chelsey tell your story and be so excited/supportive of you 😢
Jaci looks incredible 😮❤ watched this as soon as I got up at 5am this morning 😅😂❤
I’ve been dealing with near constant UTIs since March. Even going to a specialist no one can figure out why. I understand your pain!
“My gut micro biome has left the chat 👋🏼 👋🏼👋🏼” IM DEAD
“I know in my GUT… that has no microbiome left.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
literally itching to be in this convo with you guys omg! i also had preeclampsia with my first pregnancy, i have ALWAYS had a hard time getting IVs/blood drawn literally since I was a kid getting hospitalized for asthma attacks, I’m having my second c section on Thursday (!!!), and fee fi fo fum had me CACKLING
Hope you had a safe, healthy, and joyful delivery! Congratulations mama!!
Eclampsia can cause strokes as well!! So scary. I’m sorry you went through all of that.
The vitamin D-Mannose has changed my life when it comes to UTIs! My urologist recommended it and now I tell everyone about it 😅
you ladies are such a comfort to me
Sooo proud of you Jaci❣️❣️❣️❣️ Blessings to you and your little growing family ❣️❣️❣️❣️
Thank you for sharing about your breastfeeding journey. I gave birth on June 22nd to my sweet girl and NOTHING went as planned. On top of becoming a single mom at the end of my pregnancy I felt like I had everything against me . Breastfeeding was such a challenge for me and I feel so much better once I decide to stop. I agree with Chelsey. It’s not quitting. Every amount that you breastfed was beneficial for your daughter and too should be proud that you’re able to do that even if it was for a shorter period of time than you had planned.
glad you are both healthy and doing well jaci ❤
Thank you for your service in sharing your experience and giving advice Jaci, you’re a strong one 🫡 congrats to you and Leif! 🤍
Sending well wishes your way! Hopefully only up from here! 🤍
It’s crazy how similar of an experience I had! My son was born on 3/17 and I had preeclampsia, had to go to different hospital than I was planning. The magnesium drip was no joke! So glad you are doing better! ❤
I was in the gym on the treadmill when you said oh she’s bald 🤣🤣 i had to stop everything to laugh 😭😭
I had postpartum preeclampsia and needed to be in the hospital for 7 days 😅 I delivered on 6/30! Cheers to healing and healthy babies!!
Magnesium is no joke, sending lots of love!!
Thank you for sharing. I’m so happy for you both. I sobbed through this…happy tears for you though. Benny is beautiful and such a pretty name 🎉
Ahh I find it so sad when the women wants the man not to see! It is so intimate and special. I’m so happy he decided to see!!!
watching this while nursing my one week old first baby 🤍 it’s been so nice that my pregnancy overlapped with your guys, it really helped to hear other moms going through the same things that i was. so happy for you both and your little angels 🫶
my labor and delivery self FREAKKKKING out as she is talking about intense swelling and chronic headache...
Same!!!!
Been waiting for this episode!!! So happy for you Jaci, & so glad you’re past those bumps in the road and enjoying sweet Benny 💘💘
not me clicking on the video and immediately getting full body chills. I love you guys!!!! So happy for you Jaci🩷🩷
As a mama who had a complicated pregnancy/birth as you did, then a 99 day NICU stay with my daughters.. THANK YOU sooooo incredibly much for being open about breastfeeding and using formula. I pumped for 5 months while in the NICU, my mental health was not at its best, and then felt like a “failure” when I started using formula. I am so so INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL for you speaking about not breastfeeding and it makes me just feel so much less alone. I’ve never heard an “influencer” speak on this and you just don’t know how much this means to me🫶🏻 you are INCREDIBLE and the BEST mom. Benny is so lucky!!
SO PROUD OF JACI 💕💕💕 Whether you breastfeed or use formula.. WINNER WINNER, BENNY HAS DINNER ❤
I found it so funny that Jaci was wanting the guy who walked them back to stop talking. It’s just so funny to me but I get it because you’re so ready to just have your baby. I was there too when I had my son lol I was just wanting it to be over with so that I could just get to the room and get down to business. Truly though I’m so excited for you Jaci and so happy that you’ve got your little angel baby girl here now✨💖
I had the exact same birth experience last month! No signs of preeclampsia until my final appointment when I was in early labor and I had to deliver at a random hospital instead of the birth center that I had planned. Ended up losing tons of blood so I was beyond grateful to have ended up at the hospital
My fav thing about watching the pod on RUclips is I can comment on every single one. 😂😏 okay first of all Jaci OH MY GOSH I can’t believe you went through all that! I had hypertension when I was pregnant with my second and had to go to the ER after he was born for high blood pressure and I’m still traumatized from having to go to the hospital at midnight with a 2 day old when I was SOOO tired. He’s 3 now and I’m pregnant again and it’s taken me this long to feel calm getting my BP taken again. I can’t even imagine all of that. You have such a good attitude. Also, don’t feel bad for ONE second about not breastfeeding. It’s already so hard your first time even with a healthy baby and postpartum experience. Truly the universe was working against you on that. No way anyone could have done that being in the hospital that sick for so many days. Anyway, wow. Being a mom is so amazing and so hard and unfortunately your journey has started that way. It will get so much better though! Benny is perfect! Congratulations!
When I had my daughter the pressure in my butt was sooooo intense when it was time to push it was horrible lol full on epidural and it didn’t help at all 😂 but actually delivering is so empowering I feel like you forget abt the pain, and getting to push through the pain helps so much
Thank you for sharing the holding the pee thing, I have done that a lot so I need to stop. Benny Marie is such a cute name!! Congrats Jaci ❤
I waited so long for this video❤ can’t believe this is reality❤❤❤❤ wish you guys so much love and shine❤❤❤❤ and congratulations both for the new babies
You guys have to talk about love island eventually!
Omg ask for a PICC line next time!! So worth it 😢 I'm 22weeks and on home health. My IVs kept infiltrating so we switched to a picc
congratulations! so happy for you and your family❣I once got a bladder infection when traveling out of the country, by the time I got back it turned into a kidney infection. It was truly the worst, I'm so sorry you had to go through that, especially postpartum.
Jaci 🥹 congrats!!!! you’re so strong. Also u look beautiful
I got an infection and was septic after my birth this year too. Thank you for sharing your story.
I started snoring in the middle of a conversation on the magnesium drip 😂
Can confirm people always think I'm a guy (name is Carson) and it doesn't bother me, I love surprising people at work when they call me and are shocked I'm not lol
also, congratulations!!!!
benny is so cute! congratulations mama 🩷
The gasped I gusped when you said Tiffany
Also congrats on Benny she is actually so precious😭🤍
Jaci you are a warrior
welcome back Jaci ❤❤❤
That is so scary, I had postpartum preeclampsia, the headache was so intense and edema was crazy! Magnesium was horrible, I couldn’t walk either and had bad infections after I wonder if magnesium has anything to do with that? Woman are so strong! Glad yall are healthy ❤
SPRINTED HERE
So glad everyone is finally well!! ❤
I love the name Benny. I have a women in my life called Benny.. Actually, her actual name is Benirina but NO ONE calls her that. It has always been Benny. 💖
So happy for you and proud of you Jaci! ❤
Missed my besties together! 💘💘💘
Ive always wanted my daughter to be named Lou since i was a teenager. Ended up marrying a guy with the last name "Boutin" so yeah non hahaha Im starting my fertility journey next week and for a girl, our fave name is Billy 🤍
almost the same exact thing happened to me (minus the preeclampsia). Having to stay in the ER for UTI turned sepsis and leaving my baby behind was the hardest 💔
Awww❤️ I just want to send my love 🫶🏻 I also felt like I had to justify and defend myself on not breastfeeding my first because it was so hard, and then I had my second girl and it was a lot easier but still hard and the guilt was eating me away but it literally. doesnt. Matter. Unless you and your baby are happy💕So happy for you congratulations!!!!
That is insane it took 5 days!!!!! For a uti test. They should of preventively put you on antibiotics
I had a similar thing happen with naming my daughter, we had Louie on our boy list and then used it for our girl instead :)
bald like jasper 😂😂😂
Not me holding in my pee while listening to this 🙃
She’s bald. I’m dead. 😭😭😭😭😭
I never got to deliver with who was my OB my whole pregnancy and it never made sense to me at all lol
can someone explain the no water or food? no water is CRAAAAZYYY!!! i’m so glad you and baby are happy and healthy! 🩷
Hospitals/doctors use it as an insurance policy in case something turns and the mom needs anesthesia. Grateful for modern medicine, but logically the practice is crazy!!
congratulations jaci 🩷🩷🩷
we missed you jaci!!
“your bladder is just a hot tub brewing bacteria when you hold in your urine” my nursing professor gagged me when she said that. Traumatized 4ever
Never clicked so fast 💖💖💖💖
First of all best podcast ever! Also, are the pillows love shack fancy ? They are so cute where did you get them? or are they custom ?
OMGGG finally ❤
The fact that it took them FIVE days to culture your urine makes me so angry for you! I get UTIs frequently and have had one go to my kidneys, and I went septic just like you did (it’s literally the worst thing ever)! I have gotten one since then and they were again so slow to get me my culture results and I was freaking out thinking I would go septic again waiting for them to culture it. Now I’m questioning ever getting an epidural 😱
Pitocin contractions are soooo rough. I was induced with my son and it was a 180° difference from my daughter’s home birth.
How much protein were you consuming daily at the end? There is a new study that is correlating low protein with preeclampsia and id love to hear more real stories
love love love love love
