  • Note - We did not drive with Ivy facing the wrong way. We only did that for the intro video so she could be seen. We had just landed from the airport, and wanted to film a quick intro before surprising everyone! Thanks!
    The song used in this video is by me: Ivy's Song - Single by Ben Hinders / ivys-song-single
    A huge Thank You to the friends who helped us keep the surprise safe. You know who you are!
    Huge thanks to Kevin Wegman, Will Rust, and Mountaineering the World, for helping create this video. Please check out their work!

    I miscarried at 19 weeks and my aunt asked what i did wrong, when I told her I did nothing, her exact words were, “Look all I am saying is if you miscarry in the second trimester its usually something the mother did, thats all I am saying” When I tried to explain how I felt to my grandmother she said “oh, you know she didnt mean it like that”. I don’t blame or have any anger towards my grandmother, she is the sort of person who will always think the best of a person. Even when I have done some not so nice things in the past she always gave me the benefit of the doubt. My aunt on the other hand is a different story. My miscarriage was in February 2017, I fell pregnant in August 2017. Saw them at Christmas when I was about 6 months pregnant, was able to hide it as I wasn’t showing much, had my daughter on 2 May 2018 and showed up at Christmas with a 7 month old. I regret NOTHING.

    On one hand I think this idea is neat and fun. On the other hand, as a mother, I think I would be so hurt if one of my kids had a baby and did not tell me. To not tell me these details of their lives for 9 months, would just gut me. I know I would get over it and love that baby so much, but that first initial reaction I fear would not be a good one. I guess I am torn. But still fun to see on RUclips because it is not my kid, lol

      My husband and I have had 5 miscarriages, but I always told our families each time I was pregnant because it’s my belief that no matter if it ended in a loss, a pregnancy is a gift and my baby wasn’t any less alive before the miscarriage and deserved to be celebrated just as any pregnancy should be celebrated. After the first 2 misses I started to expect the worst each time, so I wanted to celebrate and to be happy for every second I was pregnant regardless of how it was going to end.if I didn’t tell anyone, I wouldn’t have had anyone to mourn with. I wouldn’t have had anyone to talk to about the loss and the pain. I totally understand why this wouldn’t be the route everyone would choose, but I chose to celebrate every second. Now I am 41 and have finally come to terms with the fact that my daughter (now almost 22 years old) is going to be my only baby. I was so lucky to be able to carry her and deliver her; she’s my miracle. Now my daughter has a little boy and it has been the most incredible time in my life! It’s the first time in 20 years that I can see diaper commercials and pregnant women without bursting into tears. I am very sorry for your losses. I hope if you haven’t found peace yet, that some day, it will find you. Be well❤️

    I have 3 sisters, I’m the youngest brother and it was wonderful to experience their pregnancies and being there to help and support them, it was bonding but honestly I remember the worrying, fear and confusion on my sisters faces when family and friends gave them unsolicited advice, tips, warnings etc.... it was overwhelming sometimes that they didn’t really enjoy their pregnancy as they should’ve, not saying that this is the same case but I kept thinking of how wonderful these couple enjoy their pregnancy on their own and in their terms, ultimately it’s about them and how they chose their experience,
    not about The FOMO of the family members.

  • @AriesGirlTAROT
    @AriesGirlTAROT 2 года назад +53

    I think this is a great idea, regardless of why they did it. Pregnancy is between the mother and the father, telling everyone about the pregnancy is a choice, especially if you’re not interacting with them in person on the regular.
    If the mother is having issues with carrying the baby, it makes perfect sense to keep it a secret for that reason as well. I also noticed that it looked like she did not give birth naturally and the baby was on oxygen so clearly something was going on. Regardless, I think waiting and surprising everyone is awesome, regardless of reasons for doing so. Who doesn’t get excited about a new baby in the family.

    • @BenHinders
      @BenHinders  2 года назад +20

      Thank you for your kind words. You’re very right, there were some complications and baby came a month before due date. And we agree; the pregnancy is truly the parents journey and if they choose to let people into it, so be it. It wasn’t done out of malice, for sure. Thank you again!

  • @gbpdrum45
    @gbpdrum45 5 лет назад +28

    Part of what was missed out on is the “anticipating.” Knowing that a baby is coming and getting ready to finally meet them can be so satisfying! For all involved. When you’ve been gone for over a year and you come home, your family has been anticipating your arrival, no? And they were delighted to see you.
    But then a second later you place a baby in their arms that they had no idea existed and that is very jarring. Of course they’re going to love her but they didn’t know she existed until about 2 seconds before. That’s a little overwhelming.

    • @kptmaci4979
      @kptmaci4979 3 года назад +20

      She probably just didnt realise they went through the whole pregnancy thing. When you suddenly appear with a baby, without telling anyone about pregnancy she probably was very confused about how the baby appeared in their lives xD so i guess she didnt mean nothing wrong, she was just bamboozled at that moment xD

    • @jordanRfRb
      @jordanRfRb 3 года назад +6

      I get how it sounded like that, but you can definitely tell that the first part of the conversation was cut and also all the commotion/confusion going on. When someone shows up with a baby saying its theirs and they hid the pregnancy, you're going to automatically assume they adopted and didn't tell anyone incase things didn't go accordingly. So she had obviously just said something (that was cut, or couldn't hear over everyone being so excited) along the lines of where did this baby come from, how did this all happen. And all Hannah meant when she said she's ours, is that she physically had her that she was made from both parents. And the other lady when she said I thought you adopted, didn't mean it as she's not theirs, she meant as she thought there was no possible way Hannah was pregnant and had a baby without anyone knowing. It was no way meant to be insensitive, or hurtful, or offensive. As Ben said they have adoptive family, so that right there also shows why maybe she thought they adopted seeing as that's not an uncommon thing for their family.

    Love this. Ignore the nay sayers. There are still members of my family that have no idea i have a child, who is now 2....im a private person and dont share much about me with anyone, even family. It's not rude or unfair or anything other than it is what it is. The fact you have introduced them is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this personal and beautiful moment with us....even if it was over 2 years ago. 😊
