This was very helpful because it's the real thing! No fancy editing/graphics/actors etc. But down and dirty real talk which is what us expecting mommas need. Glad to know to prioritize sleep that's something that I needed to hear! I'm 33 weeks and eagerly awaiting my 1st baby (girl) to arrive.
I really wish I'd found you sooner. My birth and breastfeeding journey was SUCH a mess. It was our first child and I hadn't been around any babies since my brother was born when I was 3. We had NO idea what to do, and we just assumed we'd figure most of it out as we went and the hospital staff would tell us the rest. And we ended up with an emergency c section after my broke and laboring for 24 hours and he hadn't moved down at all. The breastfeeding was chaotic and painful and ultimately dried up by week 5.
You're videos have been so incredibly helpful, both with processing where things went wrong Last time so I can let it go and move on, and educating me for what to do/expect for the next one in a few years. I've already told him I want to purchase all of your classes as soon as we're ready to try to conceive again.
You made a comment about you already do a lot of things for free in this video, and I think its hard for people who haven't made videos or built and promoted their own business online to understand how much time and energy goes into it, and how difficult it can be not knowing when or how much you'll see a financial return from it. I think you do an amazing job with this, and you deserve to put a price tag on the things you want to. Time, energy and expertise have value, and time and energy are 2 things you don't have an unlimited supply of and can't get a refund for if it doesn't at least break even on the investment.
I love the idea of the checklist, and we would buy it, along with the programs. I'm so thankful for the work you've already done, and I'm looking forward to having a very different experience this next time because we will be so much better prepared and informed. Thank you!!
Wow. Thank you seriously. I am so so honored to be able to help and I appreciate your understanding and empathy for my side. I cannot wait to help you have a better experience!! Xoxo
Currently 40+4 with my first, you and your sister have given me so much calming energy over these past few days I love the long videos I could listen to you guys for hours! Thank you for helping to relieve some of the fear/anxiety of what's to come and for helping me to find more confidence in myself. I always feel like "I can do this!" after watching one of your videos.
I am a soon to be new mom. This was so helpful and so was part 1. I really feel ready to give birth. It has also helped my husband who is so worried about making sure I am okay.
I’ve followed your sisters story and I love how open and honest she has been through this. I’m 25 weeks this Wednesday and your videos have helped me slowly understand what’s happening to my body and what to expect in the future with L&D. Just wanted to drop this comment to say thank you to both of you!❤️❤️
I just gave birth to my beautiful babygirl on the 23rd and I want to give you guys a HUGE thank you! Just by watching all your delivery videos I felt so confident going into the hospital to get induced. I felt so prepared and well educated. Now I'm trying to concur the breastfeeding life and it is way more complex than I thought. But its getting easier. Thanks for all the tips and thanks for sharing! You are a lifesaver Sarah!!
Currently 40 weeks.. with my first baby. I’m being induced on July 1st unless he comes on his own 🙃 this video was so needed and appreciated. I love your channel! Thank you!
You can do it. ☺️❤️
Thank you Hannah for sharing your entire start to finish experience!
I’m so jealous of your ability to pass baby off. Two years postpartum and my anxiety still takes over when baby is out of my sight.
I am 6 months PP. I suffered with PP depression,anxiety,and ocd. Surrounding his sleep. It was bad 😳 I just didn’t have the words to ask for help. I will be sending this video to ALLLL my pregnant friends so helpful wish I would have seen this. 💙💙💙💙💙
Thank you both so much! I am so thankful to Hannah for being willing to share her birth story and give insight into her postpartum healing process. Sarah, I have watched so many of your videos, and thanks to you I feel prepared to have a home birth with an experienced midwife in seven weeks. I feel empowered, excited, and ready to flex and flow until I meet my little girl! One thing -- I would love a video for dads from Hannah's partner or just dads about the birth and postpartum period. I have had my husband watch quite a few videos so he feels ready too, but a dad's perspective on how to help postpartum and just what to expect would be awesome.
Im never timed right so I miss them when they are live, But I have been loving the long vids with Hanna! Would you consider filming some birth stories with more friends/family when the distancing isnt an issue! I really loved that!
More birth stories would be so neat!
There's another youtuber named Bridget Teyler who is a doula and posts many birth stories. Like Sarah, Bridget is amazing and so knowledgable.
I totally agree. More birth stories from honest women combined with teaching moments and commentary from Sarah. It's such a good learning method for me. Even more so then the informational list type videos though those are also good.
I know I've probably mentioned this before, but even though my first birth story ended in a stillbirth I would be willing to share it. Even though it turned out the way it did I feel like the hospital staff was so wonderful and that there were things in postpartum that I could share that might be helpful to others like me if you decide to do more lives like this. 💕 Thanks for all you do Sarah
The part about the all night interruptions is so true. I think I was woken up every 30 to 60 min all night either by the baby or staff. I was given the option to go home after one night or spend 2 nights in the hospital and I went home after 1 mainly because I was exhausted and knew that at home I would actually get more sleep even with a newborn!
I watched her birth story and made me cry! It was so awesome and raw. Thank you for sharing 🤗
Following bundlebirth and watching ALL your videos from South Korea! 😜 I'm currently 20weeks pregnant and trying to navigate through the different birth culture and birth system here to find what works for me. Thank you for all the tips given in your videos! Through your videos i have gained confidence for future advocating of what I want for my body and baby. So thank you from half way across the world!
I had those same weird half awake dreams too Hannah!! I fed him in bed and I'd wake up hours after hed gone back to his bed looking for him afraid he was suffocated in the blankets. I have a history of anxiety but it's actually gone down in pregnancy and post partum. Happy surprise.
These videos are so therapeutic to watch! Thank you for sharing 💕
That was amazing information, I am 37 weeks and this video helped me know so much about post partum. Thank you
Never been pregnant and am not currently ttc but I’ve watched the whole birth story and postpartum video. Truly inspiring! I definitely plan on buying Sarah’s classes when pregnant!
💖💖💖
Something my local La Leche League repeats that I love: never quit on your hardest day.
Yea i quit on my easiest. Lol
absolutely love love love your videos! I love your energy Sarah! and these lives are so reassuring, as I will be giving birth in 2-3 weeks, I am currently 37 weeks pregnant! Please let us know when the postpartum list of things to think about will be available, I really am looking forward to that, I really think it will be very helpful! xxx
I'm such a geek I took notes during this but seriously I'm so grateful for your channel, offering so much free content. Thank you!!!
I stuck around the entire time, even if I had to take a pause for a sec so I could take care of my 2 babies! LOL
Your videos are SO worth it!
I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant with baby #3 & I wish I had your help... I'm a single mama in a domestic abuse relationship trying to leave.. And I don't have the money or support around me.
Your a god send, and I watch your Videos to keep hope.
I LOVE YOU, not in a weirdo way BUT in a way of having NO ONE else but your Videos & Instagram to turn to 💖😙 Thank you for everything!
Omg so so much love right back to you momma!!! You are strong and powerful!!!
I love watching these! I’m due in Sept and checking out some of Sarah’s classes! All videos are so helpful but these with real life stories is so helpful.
Thank you. I don't have kids but I like hearing about life post baby...I know that's not the end of this journey!
Thank you for sharing you guys. Watched the whole thing and took notes. I’m due in October. So I’m taking all these mental/physical notes for when she’s here.
Thank you so much for sharing so much of your story Hannah!! It’s been so interesting and refreshing to see you be just so raw and real. You’re amazing!!
I’m just about a month out from my second baby’s due date & I LOVED watching and learning from your story! I watched alll the prep videos for my first who was born 14mo ago and it was beyond helpful! With my first, I struggled with managing visitors and all the random check-ins from the medical staff so it was SO helpful to hear that I can let my nurse know when I’d like to sleep etc.! thanks for sharing!!!
I really enjoy the super long videos!! I wouldn’t mind more lengthy videos; so informative!
Thanks for sharing your journey Hannah!!it is greatly appreciated very insightful to know what can be expected. I have been watching your channel Sarah for a couple months now. Thanks for your knowledge and willingness to share! At 37 weeks now and I feel more comfortable and confident going into this labor! Definitely have shared your channel/content with fellow pregnant and post pregnant moms recently 😍 btw Dakota is such a handsome fella😘👶
OMG friend thank you for recommending BundleBirth to me! I just watched this video with my mom and asked her to remember SO much of what we learned today for when I'm in labor LOL 😆 can't wait for our babies to be here and we can share our COVID-19 labor stories ❤
@@amandaarceo2122 most definitely! I just love all that Sarah has to share! You will do amazing in labor friend! Looking forward to share our stories soon! 😍
This is so sweet love you guys
I'm due in November with my first and my hospital waits 12hr after delivery to discharge. Anywho I love your videos and Hannah's stories. 💜
Love y’all so much! My due date today and my little one is in no hurry. Been drinking laboraid to stay hydrated and if she doesn’t come I’ll be induced Friday. It’s been so nice to follow her journey!
I was so prepared for pregnancy and birth and never really thought about postpartum (besides Breastfeeding) with my first baby. I always say I would do pregnancy and birth a million times over before I would want to do postpartum again!! Breastfeeding was pretty easy for me! But I lost alot of blood (my hemoglobin was 7.2) and had a 3rd degree tear. Luckily my second postpartum experience was much easier.
I love watching your birth and postpartum stories it brings up so many memories I love thinking about my birth stories the good and the bad. 💗
I lost a lot of blood too. I got a blood transfusion right after birth. To try to take care of me hubby let me sleep at night and bottle fed baby. We still have to supplement because I don't make enough. I trace it back to sleeping when I should have been feeding baby. Well know better for next time. It's encouraging to know you didn't have an issue the second time. My OB team suggested putting in my chart to have a bag of blood ready next time.
So helpful!! Having my baby in 3 weeks or less!💕💕💕
Thanks for sharing Nara Baby it looks like it will be a perfect app for when my baby boy arrives 💙💙💙
I had my little girl on May 13th and it is good to know that we have experience some of the same things! ❤
If it weren’t for my spouse taking a picture, I wouldn’t even remember the first latch/feeding with baby. The first 12 hours after birth I hardly remember a thing!
Hi Sarah and Hannah! I’ve been following you for quite a while now and am such a huge fan of your channel. I am not a pregnant person currently, although I have watched about evaqery video on your channel and still continue to keep up with every new video. Watching your content makes me feel knowledgeable and prepared for the future for when I do have a baby sometime within the next several years. Your bright aura and exuberant energy contribute to what makes your channel so lovely. You’re such a smart and caring woman. Thank you SO MUCH to you Hannah for opening up to share your birth story, postpartum experiences and everything else. It’s been a joy keeping up with you and you are so lucky to have such a beautiful little family, including the world’s most caring sister😘 thank you both!
You're the best thank you!!!
Did you ever make a Postpartum cheat sheet? I can't find it on your website
I was so exhausted after 36 hours induction, 14 hours past 6 cm w/out pain meds my baby did the breast crawl basically by accident. I didn't help her in any way and she has been a strong feeder from that moment. We're still breastfeeding 14 months later. I can't advocate for the breast crawl enough. She knew what to do!
I've watched off of your videos. They are super helpful and have made it a little easier to relax, as I'm getting induced on Monday. 🤗💙
Feeling pretty proud that I’m a first time mumma manually expressing to collect colostrum and have been getting 3mls at 37 weeks with baby due to arrival next week!
Such peace of mind knowing I have a back up supply to fall back on if needed in those first few days of breastfeeding, meaning less stress and better recovery
My baby was born June 6th! He is 3 weeks today 🥰
My first postpartum nurse was awesome, helped me with feedings, got my abdominal binder set up (had a csection) told me to make sure I took my pain meds when needed, gave me lots of info. My next nurse (and the one I dealt with the most) was awful, terrible attitude, didn’t offer help, and worst of all made me feel guilty whenever I asked for pain meds (which it was hard enough for me to ask for them bc I’m very against taking pain meds due to family history of addiction). When I was discharged too she completely forgot about us, we were waiting on our room for like an hour and a half and my husband ended up having to go up to the desk to ask what was going on... apparently it shouldn’t have taken longer than 15 minutes to get discharged.
Hannah you look great! Happy momma!
Yes app for logging everything was so helpful. I used it for tracking breastfeeding for at least a year because my brain could never remember what side I left off on or what time i last fed her. I also used it to track her sleep so i could better see what her patterns were. I was too exhausted to retain any of that info in my head.
And yes to the scary half awakw dreams!! I would wake up breastfeeding my blanket in bed and freak out that I couldn't find the baby....who was sleeping soundly in her bassinet. Postpartum sleep deprivation is literal torture.
I'm having my baby next week, and realize I'm going to need some help with breastfeeding and sleep!!
You'll be on a mummy high but definitely get help with breastfeeding. You'll smash it im sure.
I would love to see a manual expression video! My due date is this Tuesday! Thanks for sharing this information! Very helpful!
Are you still planning to make a post partum cheat sheet/where can I find it?
Ive been looking for this too!
OMG loved this video! Thank you both for sharing. I’m a new mom to be , due Jan 1,2021 and who’s 40. I’m trying to learn everything I can for my 1st baby and what to expect. It’s been very difficult during this corona pandemic but Im loving all the videos and they’re making my days easier and making me laugh. I also thank you Sarah for being very upfront and honest. A lot of people “sugar coat” things. You get right to the point and tell it like it is. I know by watching your videos I’ll be a pro before my baby is due. Keep the videos coming. I’ll be watching them all over and over. Maybe you can do one for best positions for sleeping? It’s so hard since I’m a tummy sleeper. Just a thought. If there was an award for RUclips woman of the year it definitely should be you! Thank you! #youtubewomanoftheyear 💁🏼♀️🥇
After 2 deliveries I never knew I could make my room a do not disturb zone!!
Hi, you should had mentioned the levels as well, it would be more easier for people who's going through the same situation with their newborns.
I’m going to need your sister to start a vlog channel!! Lol I watch all of your videos and now I’m going to need to know how she’s doing when she’s not on your channel anymore!!!
Where is the postpartum checklist you mentioned?
Hi Sarah! I hope you could do videos about catching colds and flu while pregnant, how to manage
Hey Sarah! Can you talk more about what you mean when you say "unless you have gestational diabetes" the baby doesn't really need to eat "right away"? I'm totally paraphrasing what you said! But you made a distinction about those with GD and breastfeeding. Curious if you can share more on that topic! Thanks!
I use Feed Baby app by Penguin Apps for android. It tracks pretty much everything from feeding, diaper changes to even teeth coming in and medicines.
Is it really the nurses job to help with breast feeding and latch in post partum? With my first child, I feel like I was just referred to contact lactation instead of assisting with the feed.
I wish I had hand expressed more. I was taught in the hospital but I didn't realize I needed to do it more He was super tired too and ended up dehydrated. I let him sleep figuring he would cue when he was hungry. He didn't cue until probably a week or more in (too late to avoid having to be supplemented) As a first time mom, that was really hard and discouraging.
I live here in Minnesota.. I’m currently 35 weeks ❤️
Loved the birth story
You guys are the sweetest! I’m actually watching your videos to prepare and educate myself so that I can be there for my sister when she gives birth in a few months! :)
Question: Would either the Haaka or a hand pump work instead of manually extract the milk? (I see why the electric pump is not ideal for those few drops)
What about when babies are born early? They made me give my baby formula for the glucose test. I didn't really want to formula feed because I heard that your drops and colostrum is enough. My baby was born at 37 weeks and was 6lbs 11oz.
Hi! Love your videos and knowledge! You said here that if a baby doesnt want to latch the first hours after being born it is ok, how many hours a baby can stay without eating after being born? Without the baby’s glucose drops too much??
I pumped a whole ounce and my baby isn't born yet 😅 I was just trying to stimulate my nipples to spread up labor (which wooorked so severely, I've been in labor for three days and after I did that was when I went to the hospital with strong contractions
Your breastfeeding story is exactly like mine. I had a c section and was completely out of it and they asked me 3 times to bf.. They eventually forced my boob in my lo mouth...omg!! That nurse almost got punch in the nose but she read my body language and backed up. I will know for next time.
I love your voice , sarah
I definitely want to learn about the Haaka. I got their little ladybird that gently captures the other side let down and am wondering if I should get the Haaka too... 🤰
I am 4 months postpartum and I missed my period so I took a pregnancy test and got a strong positive do you have any advice this will be baby number 3 I have a 2 year old autistic son and a 4 month old baby girl thanks for the videos they help alot
Off topic but your necklace 😍
When discussing meds at minute 32.... What meds exactly do they give around the clock? I wasn't given any as I was told because I'm nursing there wasn't much I could take.
Maybe what they allow is based on the hospital? I had labored & pushed, but ended up with a c/s to avoid shoulder dystocia. I refused narcotics, but they were offered (Dilaudid). I took them up on alternating Tylenol & Ibuprofen (administered every 4 and 8 hours respectively), continuing that for the first 72 hours. As Sarah mentioned, I had to communicate with my nurses about whether they planned to administer the meds on schedule or if they expected me to request them PRN. I breastfed during that time and my son’s pediatrician confirmed that the risk for him was so low compared to having me in terrible pain in those early days. I hope that if you want your next experience to be different, that they’ll be accommodating!
Sweet, a long video that I can clean to haha. With my toddler, when she was born, it was so hard to breastfeed. My breasts are flat so the shield was the only possible way at that initial time, helpful to learn, though my daughter was slightly tongue tied. So I tried for SO long and SO hard, SO many different ways -I felt like a failure especially because she was a c-section, breach and wouldnt turn with TWO ECV's. I then pumped and that just wasn't working, my OB thinks my PCOS and insulin resistance hindered it and def. my terrible, terrible PPD for about 5 months. I'm pregnant now again, hoping to have a better experience this time, and the actual ability to BF. A couple of my nurses made me feel bad because BF was so hard and kept saying no let's try to again, when I asked for formula and ignored me, and I didn't know they... they essentially worked for me - you're allowed to say no and that's something I wish I knew and some friends knew! Wow, this is long and nobody will probably read this, lmao.
I did 😘
I did too 💜💜💜
Why would anyone even have visitors in the hospital, all you need is peace and quiet and rest, oh and someone who does you house work and cooking 😁
What a gift you are to your sister and her family.
Both my babies were extremely sleepy. We had to strip both of them down to their diaper and use a wet facecloth to keep them awake to eat. No one told me about the manual expression and Syringe.
Dada take nand
Is it safe to consume Castor oil for fast labor
Did she go back to her before weight? I cant fit my clothes or wedding ring anymore.
This is Hannah 🙂 No I’m not at my before weight - he is now 5 months old and I am only half way back to my pre-pregnant weight. It is so hard to not fit clothes - so discouraging. For me it has been hard work to get this far even and I thought it would be easier. Have to give myself a lot of grace 💜 sending love from Ecuador to you on your journey with this too!!
@@hannahzook5190 im in the military and your career depends on your weight and where fat is. Im so depressed
@@mydcunited that sounds so hard. I can’t say I know what that is like, since I’m not in the Military so I don’t have that added pressure. How old is your kiddo? Do you have friends or family you are able to talk with about all of this?
Im in Humboldt County, Northern California and 29 weeks pregnant with my second, I have been producing tons of colostrum for about 1-2 months... I'm down to be your volunteer! BAHAHA If you are serious! :)
Can't hear Hannah!!
Did I miss his name reveal? Are they saying it?
Dakota Bradley
Sarah Lavonne Ohhh I like that. Thanks!
I can't believe someone who promotes natural birthing techniques and breastfeeding would condone the genital cutting of infants. Gross.
You can't believe that? It's soooo common, get over it
@@livingdread2343 Actually, it's very uncommon. 75% of the world's men are intact and no other developed country cuts the genitals of infants like the US. The majority of doulas and midwifes speak out against it. It's unnecessary, extremely painful, damaging, pointless and comes with risks including death.
Your sister says “like” way too many times. This would have been so much better if you had explained everything without her.
