Please consider using your platform to take this to court to prevent this from happening to another mother
Sadly this is pretty common and they’re very protected from lawsuits.
I had a very similar experience during my first birth but it was a planned cesarean and I still didn’t get enough anesthesia and felt EVERYTHING. The worst was when they take your uterus out, to clean it and put it back inside you. They literally shove your uterus back inside of you. It’s crazy 😭
But they’re very protected.
😂@@Takethe3dgeoff
The way Francisco is so proud of you and uplifting literally brought tears to my eyes❤
❤❤❤❤❤
He’s so perfect for her theyre going to be the best parents and support system for each other
As a labour and birth nurse…I am so terribly sorry you had to experience this. Please reach out to a lawyer about the malpractice you encountered. I wish you and your new family of three the absolute best.
What went wrong exactly? Should they have started induction to accelerate dilatation when she was near 10 hours in labor?
😅😅😮😮😢😢🎉😂😂😂❤😂🎉😢
You need to talk to a lawyer about medical malpractice. This is truly horrifying Amanda. Thank god you’re all ok ❤️
100%
Agreed.
💯
💯
yes 100%
this broke my heart. you are so strong, amanda. this sounds horrific, and like you said, feeling the cutting sounds like a horror movie. please consider suing for medical malpractice. congrats, sending you and your baby love!❤
As a c section mama myself you’re definitely not supposed to feel the cutting. Some pulling and tugging is normal but wow I can’t believe they didn’t just knock you out immediately first thing
Hey, Amanda! I hate hearing you had a very traumatic birth. I am a high risk labor and delivery nurse, so I see situations like yours very often. The emergency C/S was obviously very needed in your case, but there hasn’t been one time we haven’t put the mon to sleep immediately after the “test” if the mom can feel it. I would definitely pull your medical record, including the intraop, PACU, and fetal heart rate tracing with the annotations. This should absolutely never happen to anyone. It’s unacceptable. The anesthesia provider should have definitely given you a spinal dose through your epidural catheter on the way to the OR and should have immediately put you to sleep once the “test” failed. I also had a failed epidural so I understand your labor pain. I’m so sorry this happened to you, but I am so very thankful that the team of nurses and the OB delivered your sweet baby right away. I wish you the best of luck ❤
I’m so shocked at how the hospital handled everything with you. I can’t believe they would just send you home when you thought your water broke and the fact that they wouldn’t put you out for your c section when you could feel everything. I am set to be induced on June 2nd if I don’t go into natural labor before then but I’m so sorry you had such an awful experience. I’m so glad you and baby are okay❤️
Yeah, it's crazy. Although, I'm sure they get so many paranoid first time parents coming in all the time for nothing, so maybe it would make it hard to notice a legitimate concern.
Completely agree! I think when hospital staff see a first time mom + a young one they always think they are being sensitive and dramatic or that they don’t know what they are talking about. I was a young first time mom and I was also sent back from the hospital twice. I now know it was my water that had broken but they kept telling me it was not. I ended up in a c section too but thankfully not as horrific as Amanda’s. I hope she can heal from the trauma. ❤
Wow I teared up when I heard this story. As a final year medical student who has assisted many C sections, I can assure you your experience was not okay. It is normal to feel some tugging during a C-section, but not every cut. It sounds like the doctors had many opportunities to top up your epidural or give you a spinal when you were close to needing a C-section.
the fact she could put herself on the table says it all. i was lifted on the table, accidentally had my epidural ripped out when they moved me, and they still had to put me on the bed and hold me up for a spinal tap because i couldn’t move. when they were cutting me open i couldn’t even turn my head to the side, looks like she got the complete opposite end of my experience
@@tashcaareyyou were over froze which is scary as well. It’s crazy how much they push these meds and I’ve heard more horror stories then good ones.
i was haemorrhageing so they pumped me full of drugs to shrink my uterus which made me vomit but i was so numb i couldn’t turn my head to the side to vomit, they had to turn my head for me to throw up in the bag. then they put my baby on me and had to wrap my arms around her as i still couldn’t move. it was a crazy experience
As a midwife, this sounds like a lot of mistakes from the healthcare workers. You don't give an epidural at 1cm, ever. You're not in the wrong for asking so soon, but your healthcare workers should have known way better and tried to ask you to wait a bit longer. Also def sounds like your water was broken that one time you went in and got sent home. And if you feel everything during a c-section despite the epidural, they're supposed to put you down completely. I'm sorry this happened to you. I'd definitely talk about this to a lawyer. Really.
There is no reason as to why you cannot get an epidural at 1cm if the patient is in pain.
@@myyradanielle please don't spread misinformation like this. dilation is promoted by walking, moving, changing positions... this can not happen if you have an epidural, as you're bedridden. for someone who is having their first child, going from 1 to 10 cm can take HOURS. tens of hours. laying flat in your bed for that long will only slow things down. with an epidural, you also need to receive continuous iv fluids as an epidural can cause bloodpressure drops. doing that for 10+ hours causes overfilling. read all that? that sounds like enough reasons to me.
I agree with Myra, but would like to know your thought process behind not receiving an epidural at 1cm
@@alyssadavis1183sually patients have to wait until 4 or 5 cm dilation because if it’s given too early it can slow down labor
My doctor said it slows down the process by like 10-15 minutes IF that so it’s not really a negative… I got it at 1cm and had absolutely no issues. Women need to do what is best for them. No labor and delivery is the same and it’s unfair to make this type of statement that might make women feel it’s a one size fits all situation. It’s not.
This is so sad for a first time mom experience. I cannot stop crying. I’m so sorry this happened to you. I hope everything is going great now. He’s so supportive. Love you girl! You’re so strong. Wow.
Amanda none of this is your fault it’s medical malpractice when your water broke they didn’t treat you seriously and they took the fact that you are a new mom and gaslighted you. I’m so sorry I have some crazy stories too, since I had my baby I’ve wanted to make a video and been nervous but this gives me hope to make a video. I’m so glad you and your family are healthy now
This story is giving me chills, it is so scary the hospital sent you home. It is so heartwarming to see you all are okay now.
I can’t even imagine how you guys felt going through that. I’m so proud of you. Women are stronger than we believe! She’s so lucky to have you as her mom💗
Francisco is so caring and loving of you ♥️ I’m glad you have him as your partner 🥰 and what he said it’s true, you are in fact a champion, A BADASS and the strongest woman. From a fellow Colombian 🇨🇴 I wish your family a happy life ahead 💞
i love how he pops in every lil while with encouragement and love for amanda 😢❤
I’m sick to my stomach. Delivering a baby should be a beautiful moment. I’m glad she’s healthy now. So sorry 😞
Girlll he seems so involved and proud of you it’s insane! Congratulations to both from a fellow Colombian. 🎉 Been watching you since I was 14 (Im 23 now) and I told my mom you had a baby and she was like “your Amanda from when you were 14?”😂
Omg girl yo también tengo 23 ahora y la veo desde los 14 !🥺 y también le conté a mi mamá jajaj
Stoppp i've also watched amanda for like 10 years and i'm 23, jaja y también le conté a mi mamá lol
omg seem i was 12 or 13 and now 23 :D
I mean he is the baby’s Dad, why wouldn’t he be involved just as much as Amanda?
23 club gang 🤪
I’m so glad you’re both ok now. I just had a similar birth experience in January. I’m so sorry you birth was so traumatic. This video was very validating for me, thank you for sharing your story. You’re an amazing mom! ❤
Amanda i remember your mom is a lawyer right? what the hospital did to you needs to be questioned and needs to be sued
I cried watching this. I’m so sorry Amanda. I’m so sorry baby girl ❤ thank god she is healthy and perfect 🥺
You are so so brave and so strong. Can't even imagine the pain of not being able to hold your baby and not knowing whether they were okay or not. Sending you lot's of love. Been watching since makeupmymandy24 days and I think were coming up on ten years now. Excited to keep following your journey
I've watched you since we were both in middle school. I normally do not comment, but I had to here. I am so sorry this happened. What a traumatic way to start the most important chapter of your life. Thinking about you and your perfect family. I am so glad you and your girl are okay.
It's crazy to see how much you've grown! I've been around for at LEAST 14 years I'd say. Now you're a mom, I'm pregnant! Like where does time go. I'm so happy the both of you are okay!! I couldn't imagine.
Also I'd love to see a video with your sister again!! I always loved your energy together
I’m so sorry you had to go through this Amanda. You are so strong and resilient. So glad Gaia is healthy, you guys have been through so much! Enjoy the cuddles ❤
You're the STRONGEST woman ever! I am so impressed by you and so sorry that you had to go through that. I am so happy that you are all okay! Best wishes to you and your family
I also had an emergency c section because my baby girl was in distress and her heart rate was going too high and couldn't make her way out. But my nurses and surgeon were all so relaxed and calm yet quick during the whole procedure. Once they cut me open they saw the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck 3x that's why she couldn't come out and was in distress. Poor little baby. You definitely should speak to a lawyer Amanda they had no right to do this to you and Gaia. May God give her a healthy happy life. Ameen.
Francisco is so sweet and supportive of you 😭 I remember watching you while I was growing up, and seeing how far you’ve come as a person is absolutely beautiful. I’m incredibly proud of you and grateful to witness your journey ❤️
Xd4rr
You are so brave amanda!!! Ive followed u for over a decade now and this is truly a heartbreaking story, you shouldnt have had to go thru that. But seeing you so strong despite it all is beautiful
Mamas are truly magical people!!!
Oh Amanda, I’m so sorry this happened to you traumatic birth story’s do happen not all of us get what we planned and it’s ok to grieve that because it does matter! Your story had me in tears because it made me also think about my PTSD from my birth story. Youre not alone and also your daughter is beautiful, you did that!! You’re a warrior!
I have a very similar birth story and not getting to meet her when she was born is something i can relate to. Nothing can give us that moment back and its always made to be such a magical special moment which is so heart breaking to miss out on.
can’t believe you’re a mother now 🥺 used to watch your videos since your makeupbymandy24 days! so so happy for you ❤️
This made me cry. How incredibly horrific...I'm so sorry that this happened to you.
Awww Amanda it breaks my heart that you and your family went through that. You’re very strong for sharing your story. I hope for a happy future for you guys 💗
i can't even begin to imagine how terrifying this was for you all. i'm so glad to hear that everything ended up okay. congratulations on your baby girl she is absolutely gorgeous
I can’t believe you’re a mama 🥹 I used to watch your videos about 6-7 years ago and now seeing you into a whole mama is wild lol
Congratulations 🩷
Samee bro
I haven’t been to your channel in a WHILE and omg I didn’t even know you were pregnant. Holy shit CONGRATULATIONS AMANDA, I’ve watched you since you were a kid and it’s so cool to have seen your growth.
And two I’m so incredibly sorry this happened to you. Please consider suing for malpractice to get justice and to make sure this NEVER happens to another mom .
This is so bad!!! Truly horrific and I’m so sorry you had to go through this… I can’t even imagine the pain you went through 😢 sending so much love 💗💗💗
Wow. My hands are shaking cant even hold onto my phone, stuff like this and hearing it makes me feel numb. I guess its anxiety. I couldn't imagine this happening to myself, I would pass out. You are so strong. Oh wow Amanda. ❤
i’m glad Gaia is home now and you all are doing well. I’d look into suing the hospital since that’s not right at all and you have video proof i’m sure of everything that went down. ☹️💕 I think it was smart of you for trying to remember some things just to be sure as well. Altogether, I’m proud of you for getting through it and doing the best that you could even though it wasn’t ideal for you, Francisco and even your mom whom I’m glad was there too for support 💗
Watching Amanda since I was 12 years old now we’re both moms is so crazy 🥺love you congrats again on baby girl 💓
i’m so happy you’re all okay. this is terrifying, i’m sorry this happened the way that it did. sending so much love 💕
You are literally glowing! I'm so happy you and baby are safe and sound
Crying watching this, heart truly aches for you for what you went through. Sending you love and healing!
I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I'm glad everything is okay now! I hope she'll continue to grow to be a healthy baby
I’m sending you so much love! 🤍 Love you, Amanda! You’re the greatest mom. I hope you’re getting professional help to heal from this traumatic experience.
I'm so sorry y'all went through this. I'm happy baby girl is here and safe. Sending lots of love your way 👼💝
my birth story was so similar to this. I relate to this so much. It definitely makes the birth hard to look back on, but I am so thankful to have my sweet boy here with me. You’re an amazing mama and she is absolutely blessed to have you!! Her dad is so supportive and sweet. I’m so happy for you!!🩷💜
It’s crazy seeing how many people have had this experience I felt so alone thinking I was the only one that went through this… I felt like it was my fault and felt guilty like I could have prevented it
I cannot believe you went through all that 😭 I’m so glad to see you have such a supportive family and that you and baby are doing ok, congratulations 💙
you two are soooo absolutely cute!!!! been watching you since my tweens. i would definitely sue the hospital for all costs and emotional distress. i work in civil court so please file something with your local court!!!! i’m so sorry you all went thru this 😭😭
i’m in tears watching this. i am so sorry, this breaks my heart. i’m so happy that you and baby gaia are okay
As a NICU nurse... you are so strong Mama. So happy you're both home happy and healthy.
That's so effed up that they didnt make you completely numb from the waist down! I was asking my nurses that im worried and they were reassuring me saying you only feel tugging and pressure of the baby being pulled out but no actual pain or feeling! You are so strong Amanda ❤
amanda, i am very emocional watching your video. and i am remembering a quote i saw that said “i see your pain, i see you, and you are capable”. what i mean by that is, you suffered great pain, and we see you, all of tour subscribers, we see your power. what i see is a beautiful mother and father doing unimaginable actions for their biggest love, Gaya. i see your power ❤️ much love from brasil
It’s so cute seeing Francisco hyping you up❤
Omg mid way through this video I’m crying that is so terrifying you are so strong definitely very much malpractice, thank god you are okay and baby girl is perfect 🥹😭 I’m so sorry this happened to you and your poor man seeing you that way 😭😭 so horrific!!
i’m so sorry you went through difficulty surrounding the birth. you are so strong ❤ sending you and your family love 🫂
Not Francisco makin me cry with how sweet
same 🥹
I’m so so sorry for your family and how traumatic that was. Please, if you feel the need to sue them and get therapy as well, don’t think about it twice ♥️ you are definetely such a strong woman, and your baby was also born a fighter, she got it from her mama!! 💞💞
This made me cry, I can’t imagine what pain you went through. I hope you and baby are ok now
I’m so sorry that was your experience. I also didn’t get to hold my son for three days and it was so hard. You have come so far, I met you when you were like 15 at an event. I hope you are loving motherhood.
Francisco is so 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻. I’m so shocked what you and baby girl went through, i’m sorry you had to live this. So glad you are all okay though!
I’m so so so so sorry that you had to experience that Amanda. So happy you and you’re baby are doing better. Will be praying for you and your family🩷
Amanda I’m so sorry you all had to go through this! Please give yourself time to mourn and heal from your birth and definitely talk to someone they should’ve gave you more of your epidural from the moment you got it and weren’t feeling it my doctors sat with me and made sure my legs went numb and I couldn’t feel anything. I’m so sorry you went through this
I feel so terrible you went through this I can’t even imagine sending all love and prayers to you and baby 💗
Congratulations, Amanda!!!!!! So glad that you and your baby girl Gaia are safe and healthy. She's gorgeous!!!!!
I’m so sorry Amanda this whole story is heartbreaking and traumatic . I’m so happy you and Gia and ended up healthy safe and sound but that whole birth delivery process needs to be taken to court 😔🥺🥺💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗 she’s absolutely beautiful good job strong mama
so glad you guys are safe and healthy 🤍✨ congratulations mama
The way Francisco was talking with you about seeing your baby 🥺
I am so sorry about this. I pray that your baby is well and healthy
i appreciate u sharing your birth story. My birth was very traumatic too, so its good too talk about. Because there is so many diffrent ways it can go. Thank u for sharing! i wish u all the best
as a nicu nurse, you are one of the strongest mama’s going through such a traumatic birth and nicu stay. cooling is one of the hardest things to see a baby go through. i am so glad you both are physically okay. please take time for care for yourself 🤍 sending love!
Wow, I didn’t expect that at all! I am truly horrified that you had to go through that whole experience. My mom had 3 C sections and one of those she felt like she wasn’t numb enough because she could feel something, she even moved and the doctor stopped the whole procedure to give her more medicine and then continue… I feel that they didn’t handle the situation humanely, it honestly reminded me of Bella (from twilight) giving birth, the way that you were cut open and screaming.
As for your baby girl, I hope everything continues to be perfect and she doesn’t have to experience anything similar. You are one strong beautiful family ❤
she should sue right?!
Yes this reminded me so much of Bella's horrific birth in twilight!! 😭
Omg girl! I am so sorry to hear this! My son is 7 weeks old. I had a c-section too after having complications with the delivery. No one wants to have a negative labour experiance but your is just goes beyond negative. Sending lots of love to you and Gaia 💕💖
I feel like I grew up watching you as a teenager & it’s so beautiful watching you become a mother💖 Congrats on your new Journey, love you sooo much ❤️💖
You're a strong amazing mama! I had a very rough,hard pregnancy but an amazing delivery. It's terrifying but once everything is over we're so selfless because all we care about is our perfect babies. You did the damn thing and you're doing amazing!!
i'm so sorry this happened to you, amanda. this is such a traumatic experience and you should've never gone through this. hope you find the right lawyers and thank god you and gaia are okay
first and foremost, i want to express how inspiring and strong you are for sharing. i am so sorry for what you endured, and your story takes so much bravery to tell and relive in such detail.
if it helps at all, your story reminds me a lot of my own birth story (when my mom gave birth to me). my mom was in labor for 40 hours after days of pain and the doctors and the nurses argued over whether or not she should have a c-section multiple times. like in your case, this had a huge effect on my birth and the moments after my birth. after my mom had the emergency c section, they wrapped me and gave me to my mom for breastfeeding only for her to uncover me having a seizure. i'm not sure about all the events in detail, but i know that i had a blood clot in my brain & the doctors said a lot of things about my early development being stunted. i was on phenobarbital for the early years of my life and i had consistent check-ups regarding my brain development. lawyers came to my mom to sue the hospital for malpractice, since the hospital is cedar sinai in beverly hills (one of the best & most famous hospitals in LA) my family and i had an open case to sue the hospital until i was 18 years old, but my mom never went through with the case because she believes since she rejected the greed, i was blessed with perfect health my whole life.
if there's anything i can share with you, i don't think those traumatizing moments of my birth scarred me at all and instead made me more grateful for miracles. so happy that you all are doing well since that tragic time. congratulations on your new baby, and i'm wishing you the best!
I had the same experience with feeling the c section. Horrific. I screamed my head off. Felt all the cutting. I am so so sorry you endured this.
Amanda, I have few words to describe how i feel in regard to your story. thank you for your vulnerabilty in sharing. Francesco is right, you are very strong. Yes, from what you describe experience is traumatizingand i am sure looking back you wish to have done many things differently. I pray that you are able to heal properly from the experience and that you are able to talk to someone who can help you work through the trauma and difficult feelings when you need. Although I am so happy everyone is healthy and yhat you and the baby are okay. and yes she is perfect and always was and always will be. Congrats and happy becoming. x
Amanda please, if you feel you are having symptoms of oof post natal depression or if you feel a separation with your baby, dont be afraid of getting some help. A family thrapist that specializes in these things can be life saving
What’s absolutely disgusting is how many horror stories I’ve heard of birth trauma experiences….Mine was horrific too due to the hospital and poor treatment I received also. There are some similarities between our stories and I wish I could talk about it because my goodness I went through the same
thank you for sharing this, i’m sure it was not the birth you imagined but you’re so strong and so inspirational 😢❤
You are SO strong. Congratulations 💕 You have the cutest little family
the way he talks about you is amazing!
SUE THEM! that is absolutely horrific
I’m so sorry Amanda. No words. You deserved better
Congratulations girl!💕 sorry you had to go through that.
I haven’t watched you in years and the first video that pops up is YOU HAVING A BABY
WHATTTT
Sending you and your family so much love. You are so strong Mama! ❤️
Congrats on the arrival of ur baby girl. Even though things didn't turn out as planned, am so happy to hear that baby n u r doing much better. Am excited to follow along this new journey. Would love to c baby updates as she keeps on growing. Tfs ur experience with us. Love u xoxo😘
I have a very similar story, I am so sorry you had to go through that, that is absolutely horrible. I am so glad y’all are doing so much better now!
When I was born I didn’t cry immediately beacause the epidural influenced me and I was sleepy.
I had experienced the same and I had to be checked until 4 years old in order to understand if I had any problem as they thought the brain didn’t get oxygen. Everything will be good, I send you positive energy ❤
wow sorry that it happened to you when you were born. after they checked you when were 4yo, does everything good? how are you now? xoxo
@@Arina_Jul yes everything is good, I don’t have any problems, I am 23 now . I was only affected by the epidural that’s way I couldn’t cry enough .
@@stefaniaklghappy to hear that
I went through an eerily similar experience in January when i had my daughter..tears watching this. sending hugs ❤
You absolutely need to call a lawyer. This is malpractice if I’ve ever heard it. I’m so sorry you experienced this.
you look so different, in a good way ! ❤ wish you all the best
Girl I haven’t seen you in so many years! I’m so sorry this happened to you, but I’m glad to so you on my feed again. Please please please sue for malpractice!
Oh this is just awful :( my stomach is in knots listening to your birth experience.. I’m so glad you and your precious baby are okay after such a traumatic experience. So happy you’re both home and happy 🤍
I’m so sorry you went through that, it is just awful! Hopefully this will make you feel better, I was born 💀 because the cord had wrapped around my neck and got tighter and tighter as my mom pushed. I’m now in my mid 20’s and have never had any type of issue, I actually measured ahead in development for the majority of my childhood! Congratulations on your beautiful little baby girl 💖💖
