May I ask is that a maternity dress or just a stretchy dress? I love your style and want to wear things like that 😍 Where did you get it? Also may I ask what makeup you use? Specifically your foundation? ☺️ You look beautiful 💞
❤🌲❤😃MIKHAILA: BLESSINGS 🌈🔆YOU ARE GORGEOUS 🌺CONGRATULATIONS 💜MAZEL TOV🌷🌷MAY G-D REVARD YOU AND YOUR BELOVED FAMILY FOR THE GOOD YOU DO🌳violet🌲❤PS THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR VERY INTERESTING VIDEOS + BRILLIANT GUESTS🌲🌳🌲🌲🌲🌳🌳🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌲🌲
You look absolutely stunning. You are one of those women who pregnancy looks beautiful on. ...and I know he's in your ribs and you can't breath...lol.. but, what a miracle it is.
Wow, congratulations sis. Praise God! So happy for you.
Love and respect 🙏💗🙏💗
I was supposed to be 14 weeks today, but found out yesterday our baby stopped growing at 9.5 weeks.
I’m heartbroken, waiting for my miscarriage to take place naturally.
Thankyou for talking about yours. This is literally the only pregnancy video I’ve been able to watch without crying like crazy. ❤
I‘m so sorry that you went through that. No matter how small it‘ll always be your baby and you‘ll always be it‘s mom. Sending prayers 🙏🏻
Oh my dear, praying for you and your family. God bless you❤ 🙏✝️
I feel with you! I also lost my first pregnancy at the beginning of this year. Better days will come, but take time to grieve!! I avoided that and stuffed all the pain until I couldn't hold anything else together. Sending you prayers 🙏🏻
I’m sorry!!! Stay strong and virtual hugs for you. Get lots of hugs in person ❤❤❤
I’m so sorry for your loss Mama. Sending love and strength ❤❤
I had 5 miscarriage before going carnivore. went Carnivore, lost 50lbs and Waaa laaa...BABY. I was put under so much pressure to get off the diet. "it's bad for the baby...you need folic acid, etc"...well me and my baby did just fine AND he was almost 10 lbs at birth. THANKS FOR THE Q&A..you inspired me from your TEDX talk to go Carnivore.
Yay!!!! Congratulations!!!!
@@mikhaila I was interviewed by Dave Mac, a popular podcaster who interviews hundreds of people about their success on carnovore..so many people, like me, mention you Mikhaila as their inspiration! You and your father have an important role to play in this upside-down world to keep people...informed and sane.
Beef liver is a super food for pregnancy. It has a lot of folate and gives you so much energy. I tried to eat it once a week when I was pregnant with my third (earlier this year.)
@ceciliamcclay4928 Thank you for sharing…I am going to go carnivore. I have had 3 miscarriages in a row. one at 4 weeks, one at 6 weeks and just now a week ago at 10 weeks. I have been paleo, AIP, gaps, all the things except carnivore because its just so difficult with the people (my husband and my sister) that I live with...How long were you carnivore before you tried again and did you just do normal carnivore or did you do the lion diet?
@@hyrunnisa997I'm so sorry! You can do the carnivore lifestyle. Be blessed.
"Birth is like throwing up - you don't have to learn how to throw up" - Mikhaila. LOVE it! This is the best way I've heard it explained. LOL. So true! :D
Such a beautiful quote 😂 please don’t remember me by it
Haha, I came here for this comment. I've always thought the 'urge to push' reflex feels like throwing up the other direction. It's true, once your body is doing its thing, it's just gonna happen.
as a non-mother I really appreciate that analogy. it gave me perspective on how natural it really is! i thought women had to be told when to push
Will go to history😅😊
@@Lucia-io3dnI think they get told that when they have an epidural which removes feeling and pain so they need to be told to push when a contraction happens. To put it bluntly, you would not need to be told to push when having a bowel movement, it happens naturally and you have to go with it! Without an epidural you would feel the urge to push during childbirth ehen a contraction comes.
To whoever is reading this keep going, you're doing fine! No matter how slow your progress, each new week is filled with tiny steps forward. Be proud of yourself you got this! ❤
CONCIEVE, BELIEVE, ACHIEVE!! STFU
This was really needed
Needed this 🙌 ❤❤❤
Thanks for the token motivation bro 🙏 😂
❤❤❤
I delivered our second child at home 46 years ago. My wife was only in labor for four hours for the second child and delivered on her hands and knees, which was by far the most comfortable position for her. Birthing at home was my wife's idea, and I was dragged kicking and screaming into the experience, but it was the most wonderful experience of my life. That little newborn baby girl now has five babies of her own.
Wow 🥺❤
Yes! I also had two unmedicated homebirths assisted by my midwife and her assistant. I also found that on all fours and on my knees was easiest to birth (using gravity to help). My son actually just popped out while I was on my knees.
You caught the babies, your wife delivered the babies.
@@Just.another.mom3LMAO ummm NO his wife LABORED the baby, he DELIVERED the baby. The Dr delivers the baby from the mother body to the mother’s arms. The mother labors her baby into the world. Hence the name Labor and Delivery! lol
@@shannonrender2158 nope. The person who has the baby delivers the baby. Putting your hands out is catching the baby. He didn’t do anything other than catch.
OB nurse here- headache with vision changes can indicate increased blood pressure in pregnancy. Just mention it to your OB at your next appt, or call him/her if it gets worse. :) Good luck to you!!
We got an at home blood pressure checker, I highly recommend you check it frequently at home!!
Studies have shown that cosleeping and breastfeeding is the way Mom's get the most sleep. Babies are supposed to be close to Mom and wake often in the night to nurse. Nature is amazing that way ❤
I did that the first time, trying the opposite this time. Although if it doesn’t work I’ll probably revert back 😂
I did it by two babies and I got all the sleep I needed 😊 people create that sleep problems because they isolate children.
yet caution as infants can be smothered and deep sleeping parents dont know till too late. so use some precautions obviously.
I have 2 kids. Co sleeped with my first. The second had his bed in the next room. Oh, my god, I felt like a zombie walking to his room, falling asleep while breastfeeding, then no sooner did I get back to sleep he would cry again. Pregnant with my third. Definitely cosleeping. No more walking zombie.
I did it this way. It helps in the short term.
Hey Mikhaila. I’ve had six kids in six years including a set of twins. All natural vaginal births. I really REALLY recommend Lisa from “Farmhouse on Boone’s” content around birth, and recovery especially. She has 8 children, runs their family business with her husband and is an incredibly industrious woman. She’s no fluff. It might help you make a practical plan for after you give birth.
Good for you! I’ve always wanted to have 6 children. I’m 32 and single, though. I nanny twins (since before they were born) and wouldn’t mind having twins. :) Do you have any advice, if I do get married soon and get the chance to have a lot of babies?
I often watch Lisa’s content, too. 😉
@@Rosie_C Advice is hard to give since I know nothing about you, but practically I tell everyone this: Lift heavy weight at least three times a week. It’s the longest lever to longevity we have and in my opinion one the best ways to prepare for labor.
Don’t expect anything. Pregnancy doesn’t follow a logical path and neither will your symptoms. If you feel good take advantage of that day because a day where you cannot get off the couch is guaranteed to be around the corner.
Take your emotions with a grain of salt and write them down to put them somewhere if they’re so brutal you don’t even want to tell your partner them right away.
ACCEPT HELP.
And lastly find Jesus if you haven’t, and accept he’s the only thing giving you the strength to accomplish whatever you’re accomplishing.
I’ve got 6 kids with a set of twins too! And I absolutely love Lisa from farmhouse Boone. My recent last was a homebirth. Best experience ever
@@miriamcombe3033 Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to RUclips comment!! I appreciate it. I’ve never been into exercising except for a brief bit when I was a little overweight, but I quit because I didn’t feel comfortable and proper in the gym atmosphere. BUT I do know better, and could exercise at home if I gather the discipline. Thank you for encouraging with your experience! I was also recently encouraged by another channel with several young children - Now that we’re a family - and she promotes exercise during pregnancy. Right now, it’s easy to stay fit and in shape, working with 4 children ages 2-6 and keeping house for them 40 hours a week, but I definitely will have to focus on it when I’m having my first children.
All your advice lines up with what I’ve observed! I’ve been paying attention and soaking up everything I can for the past 20 years about motherhood, being a godly wife, and excellent housekeeper. My mom had 7 children after me, and I’ve cared for nieces and nephews or nanny children ever since my mom stopped having babies. 😄
I was truly born-again when I was 16 years old, and could do nothing without my Saviour! :) Thank you for adding that, though. :)
Farmhouse on Boone is a fantastic channel, so knowledgeable and calming energy. She needs millions of followers, lovely to see others mentioning her 😊
I did hypnobirthing too. I was always terrified of labor and delivery, but ended up having a beautiful home birth. Congratulations to you and your hubby!!
I had a silent miscarriage where my baby had stopped growing at 6 weeks but i was 11 weeks at the time. I could tell something was wrong because i was so light headed, stomach cramps, and short of breath. I ended up taking something to help assist in clearing my miscarriage since i had been carrying it for 5 weeks without passing it. It was such a heart breaking painful experience but I am fortunate enough to be currently 29 weeks pregnant to a healthy baby boy 🎉
God Bless you and your baby boy I hope the rest of your journey is peaceful I hope you have a great delivery too🩵🩵🩵
Hugs
That was almost my same story last year. Except I was literally bleeding to death, and the baby still would not come out. Had to have a d&c and 2 blood transfusions. I'm still trying to get my iron back up. I've been so scared to get pregnant again. Your story gives me hope. Thank you and God bless!
I just had a miscarriage in August but I got pregnant again in September. I’m now about to be 16 weeks. It’s definitely been a harder pregnancy emotionally. Congrats on your baby!
We are on similar time line, I'm due May 8 th :)
Hugs
4:34 Mikhaila, omigosh!! 😱 I'm 28 weeks pregnant and can't believe how much of a relief it is to hear you talk about the potentially devastating mental/emotional impacts of pregnancy! The intrusive thoughts, the depression, the anxiety, I've had it all!
I consider you to be an incredibly rational, level-headed woman, so if pregnancy can mess with your head too, then I guess I feel less unworthy for having struggled too. ❤️
EDIT: WE ARE LITERALLY LIVING THE SAME PREGNANCY EXPERIENCE (minus the Lion Diet part), I FEEL SO SEEN/NORMAL! ❤️
I'm due in January too, and found it so nice to hear someone else talk about how powerfully the hormones affect you mentally. I've been a tearful mess lately, feel a bit less crazy now 😂❤
Awww girl just try to stay calm and take it easy and remember everything is fine and you’re not going to feel like this forever. And try to move any worries you can until after pregnancy!
Oh gosh yes. I'm also 28 weeks pregnant, and I have tears of relief in my eyes right now from hearing Mikhaila talk about the emotional and mental bizarrenesses of pregnancy...
All the best to everybody and your babies!
@@mikhailaThanks for the words of reassurance, good luck to both of us with our impending births! 🙏🏻
Congratulations on the baby Mr. and Mrs. Fuller!!! 😊
I wish your family a merry Christmas and a happy life!
Wait, I thought she had gotten a divorce. Did they get back together?
@@glorias.2930she married again.
Hey Mikhaila,
My mom moved in with us for almost 2 months. It was a total game-changer, especially at night.
At first, she would do the diaper changes and then would bring my baby in for me to breastfeed. That lasted only 1 week due to me getting almost no sleep.
Out of sheer desperation, I continued to breastfeed 99% of the time, except between midnight & 6am, at which time my mom would feed the baby (pumped breast milk) every 2-3 hours. She was basically up all night & slept during the day.
I woke up each morning feeling increasingly better, not just physically, but emotionally.
The gift of sleep was, for me, the most valuable thing ever.
❤
Your transparency is so valuable in this world. Thank you for taking the time to record this. And if your body needs time offline, so be it. I support you. This is how we all should be living. Listening to our body and let the world wait until we decide to show up. 😉 congrats on adding a little boy to the crew! It's going to be great!!
Congratulations! I’m 36 weeks, I announced publicly at Thanksgiving that I was pregnant. (Besides close family and friends obviously) It’s my first and honestly keeping it private has been incredibly peaceful. I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes beautifully and you bring a healthy little one into the world ❤
My SIL is expecting and I casually asked the other day when they are going to tell people? She said it’s amazing not having people constantly asking questions.
THANK YOU, MIKHAILA! You actually made me less anxious about getting pregnant some day. I've watched some videos of medical specialists aimed at educating women on the topics related to pregnancy, and they made me even more anxious 🤣 While you were just talking in a lightweight manner, simply about your own experience, you were vulnerable with us!
And that information about cortisol vs. oxytocin is really useful, I feel like every woman on this planet should know that trick.
Congratulations!!!! You are amazing.
I am also 35 weeks pregnant. Due Date Jan 8th. This video helped me so much to not feel alone with what I have been going through emotionally and mentally. Everyone talks about how much they love being pregnant and miss it, and I have not been loving it. Your honesty about what it is really like is so incredible. Thank you for making this video.
So happy to hear she is discouraging a traditional daycare. It is possibly the worst thing you could ever do as a parent. Congrats MP ! ❤
Amen
Because she can afford it. How many people can afford that? Not your average American, that's for damn sure. People do what they can afford or they figure out alternatives. I've done both.
Yea, it's very much a last resort thing for double traditional income families who don't have family around who isn't also struggling to feed their households. Being trapped in the house all day with nobody to eatch you is actually quite dangerous and cruel, these parents are choosing to socialize their child while they're gone and make sure somebody is feeding them and watching them.
Its not only the financial cost...you must consider physical and emotional cost to both child and parents.@@backtoasimplelife
Institutional daycare is the worst. It was meant to be a last resort, not an ideal parenting choice. Attachment issues are a *serious* problem w/the 30ish & under crowd.
I've been in childhood dev't for 40 yrs, inner city/private/& public childcare, Montessori preschool, & private tutoring.
You DON'T have to be wealthy to raise your own children. And your children don't NEED you to be wealthy.
i had a miscarriage back in may and am now pregnant with our rainbow baby. ❤️ my heart breaks for any woman who has to experience a miscarriage of any kind. it’s absolutely brutal. 💔
Beautiful, congratulations to you. I love seeing all the pregnancy after miscarriage comments here, it's so lovely. (I'm with you as well, I miscarried in May and am now 29 weeks pregnant - when are you due?)
I had a miscarriage before my almost 2 year old and I'm pregnant again now and it's still brutal. Having had 3 healthy full term pregnancies doesn't even help. Sucks
@@AshleeMarie-tb5fi Feb 26! we’re close! i’m 31 weeks! 😊
@@madisonhouston6338 we've lived the same year haha - I'm due the 24th! Merry Christmas to us :D
Fangirling that you answered my question on daycare! Appreciate your answer and insight. I second your thoughts that a resentful parent is a toxic one, and as parents we need to do our due diligence, first and foremost, to protect our children.
Also we are both due in January ❤️
I e had 4 pregnancies and found out a beautiful thing about being pregnant. Your baby gives YOU whatever it can and that you need to recover and be healthy so he or she can survive. We are fearfully and wonderfully made!!! Much love and congratulations !!!❤❤❤❤
Congratulations Mikayla! I’m so happy for you, Jordan, and Scarlet
I cried in my first pregnancy one night because we couldn't find cinnamon raisin bagels anywhere. I took pregnancy very very well though, but those bagels got me
😂
I'm due in January too. Thank you Mikhaila for being honest about how your hormones have affected you. I've been very tearful this week and I feel less crazy now ❤
Please read “Them Before Us” by Katy Faust before you go through with surrogacy. Your potential children deserve better than that. You are already so blessed! Praying for a wonderful delivery and birthday for you and your baby! ❤
Such a good read!
There is also a three part series on the Free Birth Society Podcast that blew my mind and completely opened my eyes. I had no opinion before, but now I definitely do.
You are honestly the best female role model. You're not afraid to talk about hard things because you know that there are people out there going through the same things that need to know that what they're going through it's okay.
Congratulations 🎉 I'll pray that everything goes smoothly 🙏🏻 the addition to your family will be nothing short of amazing!! The efforts you and your family have taken to help others in life are inspiring 🙌🏻 God bless you all!!
I know this comment may not be directly related to the podcast's content, but I feel compelled to express my heartfelt gratitude to you and your family. Listening to this incredibly educational podcast has been a truly enriching experience for me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insights with us.
When my mum gave birth to me in 1959 she used self hypnosis & had an amazing labour, I did the same when I had my baby & it was the best advice she ever gave me . Congratulations 🥳 keep well xxx
I'm pregnant and due January 2nd! It's crazy how close our due dates are. Hope everything goes well with your delivery!
This podcast is so real. We found options in a small at home childcare facility where my twins loved their caregiver. Also, we went through multiple daycares, when they were older ,until we found a great fit. Got through the work! Your kids are worth it.
Loved that she mentioned that! I never sent to a commercial daycare. One kid was at a small local mom's babysitting group. Took a few groups until we got it right. The second one was at a private babysitter who gave her more attention than I could having a 1 year old as well 😂😂😂
Mikayla you’ve helped so many with your carnivore diet. I just thank you for for sharing
I just lost my baby at 21 weeks. I’m so sorry you had to go through that. Thankful to see you have a healthy baby on the way🤍
Congrats, Mikhaila! Baby boy is here🎉 You are extremely strong woman & thank you for honesty! ❤
Omg congratulations!! ❤️ I'm 36 weeks pregnant and due January 3rd with a boy as well!! I've been "dirty" carnivore this pregnancy and it was so much better than my first pregnancy. I'm healthier and my baby is healthier. I did have red meat aversions the first trimester and leaned more keto than carnivore. I can relate to the emotional roller coaster, though, I've been so moody!!
My second baby was born on January 7th! My first was also a girl, second a boy! They are 13 and 10 now. I wish you all the happiness in the world, and praying for you and family that everything goes smoothly and soon you will be holding a healthy little boy! Yay! Congratulations!
So proud of you for opening up about miscarriage, it’s not easy to talk about and it’s not talked about enough considering HOW common it is. Still remember you telling me about that pregnancy, when we were planning on do a podcast about that kinda stuff, then when the pod didn’t happen I had a feeling and felt just so sad for you! You’re obviously a wonderful wonderful mother to your daughter and I know the pain of miscarriage, had one when I was 19…really excited for this baby 🥰 Having two is mind blowing. Seeing them interact 🥹 The best of life is all ahead! Love from Ireland 💚 Xx
Wow ,we have the same timeline, I had a blighted ovum when you did and now I am 35 weeks pregnant just like you! And I didn’t know this whole time I wasn’t alone ❤️
The discussion about the family and children is crucial. For some reason no one is advertising it, which is somewhat concerning.
I took a DNA test and have a MTHFR issue. I started taking high doses (recommended by a ND) of active B12 and active folate. All of my food sensitivities disappeared literally within a week, along with my brain fog, inflammation, allergies and so many other autoimmune issues I was experiencing. I hope you see this and look into it. It has been life-changing for me.
Test for factor 5 as well , which is a clotting issue .. it is very common with MTHFR
Active folate is tolerated?
I’ve tried metyl folate and was depressed for a week.
@@Kwildcat13 Thank you for sharing this. My uncle was tested for factor 5 after having a stroke and he has it. At the time of his stroke, he was only 52 years old. He had to go on disability and was diagnosed with a form of epilepsy. I still need to be tested. I'll admit that I am a little nervous, especially since I know that this is in my family. However, I realize how incredibly beneficial it would be to have that knowledge so you can be in a position of prevention. At the moment, I am searching for a company that is affordable. I found one, but the cost was $600.
@@anatino There are different variants - 4 different ones in total. Some require less folate and others require more. I would take a DNA test if you can :)
@@Kwildcat13 Thank you for sharing this! I will check it out!
Mikhaila I am proud of you, you are such a good influence. Good luck on the rest of your pregnancy!
Congrats. New life is good.
It’s good to have you back. I always enjoy hearing about your perspective on health. Didn’t really think about the effects of pregnancy, as I’m male and single. For what it’s worth I’ll pray for you. Which isn’t as silly as it seems, when you consider the value of the work you are engaged in not only to you. But to others.
I know a chick who took twins to full term for her first pregnancy and birthed them completely naturally with zero issues using self hypnosis. It was at a fairly major hospital and she was the first woman they had seen do that.
You might find Allie Beth Stuckey’s interview with an adult surrogate “CHILD”! I never thought about if/how the child might have issues. VERY WORTH THE LISTEN! God bless you, and your growing family.😀💞🙏🏼
Check your blood pressure! Headache and vision changes are signs of pre eclampsia. ❤
That went through my head
So proud of you miss Mikhaila,....I really appreciate your candour. So happy for you and Jordon and Scarlet!
Super grateful for you sharing your personal life with us 🙏🏼 You definitely didn't have to do this, so I'm super grateful that you did. Wishing blessings on you and your fam and congrats on your son
OMG 😮 you are the first person I hear has had the same type of miscarriage as I had beginning of 2023. I am so sorry , Mikhaila! I know 100% how that felt ... Also I am happy to see it worked for you to get pregnant again, so yay 🎉🎉
I'm so happy for you and your hubby growing your family! What a lucky child to have you as their mom...and your extended amazing family too. 😁
I love hearing that you are a fellow home birthing mom. Bless you and your growing family!
God bless you Mikhaila!. What a wonderful miracle your family has. I feel so happy and blessed to hear your life journey through RUclips.
You are so brave and so good for posting this! I had 4 pregnancies...the last one at home with a midwife and it was the BEST and shortest! I had 1 natural in hospital, 1 natural w/pitocin pushed on me at the end, and one with an epidural and pitocin. The latter was the hardest recovery i experienced. Sending love and prayers for ongoing inspiration and for bodily healing for the best new baby experience one can have! ❤️ 🙏💐
Prayers up for a successful delivery. 🙏👍🏽🤗
I am so sorry for your loss! I miscarried my first baby and I understand how sad it is. Please grieve the loss of your baby if you haven't already. You're strong and courageous. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thank you so much for this podcast. I went through the same horrible miscarriage experience last year. Praying for our little miracle to come soon. Wishing you an easy birth and very healthy baby ❤
I had my kiddos at home too, and used hynobirthing too. I had the same weird phobia of hospitals. All 3 of my babies are happy and healthy and I can't imagine another way. They are 20, 18 and 12 now! So happy to finally hear someone else Going down the same path! Always get looked at like I'm a physcho, i dodnt think it was that painful either. Intense, sure but not painful. I'm so excited for you!!!
Ah that’s fantastic news!! congratulations lots of love and best wishes for you both ❤
Oh Mikhaila I’m so feeling for you right now. I’ve got the two boys and was very ill with my first. I am so happy for you at the same time as feeling awful for you. The baby will be so worth it.
My BFF is in her first trimester after a miscarriage and I’m sending this to her so that she can feel not alone in what she is going through.
I’m so glad your mum and dad are with you for a bit to help and support you. ❤
So much love from Ruth Anne.
Mikhaila, I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve lost babies during pregnancy before and it’s a terrible thing, impossible to put into words. I’m so thankful you’ve been able to have a healthy baby growing inside you now!
Girl. I am currently 20 weeks pregnant and i was on a strict carnivore diet eating eggs, meet, sardines, salmon until my aversions started at 6 weeks. I had to eat start eating carbs for the first trimester because smelling eggs and meat would make me puke. Kudos girl. Thankfully I'm starting to tolerate eggs and meat again but i still have to be careful.
How far along are you? I'm currently 7+1 and I just want to puke when I think about eating steak...
@@breannakelly-watt7968that's how I was/am with my three and now number 4. The massive food aversions left for me after 12 weeks for meat and eggs. And all I could eat with my last baby was meat, so it switched pretty hard
I remember in my first trimester with my daughter I couldn’t even walk past a butcher shop without gagging. Coffee also was on the no go list. All okay now. Love meat and coffee.
I wasn’t on the carnivore diet but definitely didn’t have carbs as a main component as my diet. And then boom six weeks in and all I want are carbs. Eggs? No. Meat of any kind? No way. Pancakes? YES. Bagels? Gimme. My husband was like what is going on???
@@jessicadorcey7541so glad it's not just me 😢 I'm getting to 7 weeks and I can't tolerate anything but carbs. Didn't want to break my diet but meat makes me wanna puke.
Oh how proud your Dad must be! What a beautiful, well rounded mind, body and soul you are. Hugs and blessings! Enjoy your little Spiu😉❤️
Spider-Man lol funny, it was written when I pressed send I thought.
❤️ Merry Merry Christmas to you and your new little Capricorn 😊❤️
Love this Q & A..
Your sanity is awesome!
Wishing you a fast, smooth labour and a very healthy baby..💙🩵💙🩵
She has a special ability to communicate well. I like how she's transparent about what she goes thru.
I had a miscarriage a few months ago. My first pregnancy. I am age 37, not sure if I ever have another one. But I now understand how difficult this is. And I am happy more and more people talk about it openly. Thanks for sharing this video. So sorry what happened to you last year, and congratulations with your pregnancy . You look great. Lucky baby to have you as his/her mum. ❤
Hi, Sharon! Don't despair, accidental miscarriages happen. Just keep trying and the next pregnancy will be normal. It happens, it all depends on the case. Good luck!
Hypnobirthing is amazing! I found it for my 3rd baby and it made the labor so much easier and faster. It is based on science and logic so I wouldn’t call it a hippie thing but I can totally see why some people see it that way. Thanks for this video, it’s motivational to hear your story.
Hi, Mikhaila! Congratulations and Thank You! ❤ For anyone who needs an inspiring friend during a trying time, you are that friend! Your authenticity, tenacity, and resilience are contagious in the best possible way. Thank you for sharing about your experience! Wishing for it to get much-much lighter, with much happiness and countless blessings to you and your entire family!!! ✨ Thank you for being you! ❤
I am so sorry you had such difficulties in your pregnancies. I'll be praying for your healthy delivery and postpartum recovery.
Wow. I just found out I'm pregnant with baby 3 and I've been keto/carnivore for the last 4 years and my last two kids are 12 and 9. But we decided we wanted to have more kids before we turn 40. I'm 6 weeks preggy and have been looking for "help" since I wasn't eating into ketosis for my last pregnancies. You're timing is amazing. I really had no idea!!
sooo beautiful!!! massive congratulations🎉🥳
You look FABULOUS MIKAELA. You’re very wise not to mention your pregnancy 🤰 you spared yourself grief.
Great protective strategy👏🏻
Awwww Congrats to you and the husband. Just saw your Mom's videos on her conversion and healing story. Will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Best wishes and prayers for a successful birth. You're doing a great job. So brave.
Both my grandma and mother used hypnosis to have their kids. They could stay up walking minutes before having each kid, so it really can help the birthing process. Its amazing that this has actually been something women have known they can do for generations, but isn't talked about a lot. I plan to do similar when I have kids.
I’m so sorry you had experienced that blighted ovum, because I didn’t hear about it until it happened to me this past September. With such a big platform thank you so much for speaking on it.
My daughter-in-law had a blighted ovum her first pregnancy. She compared it to renting out space but then not showing up. I know it was hard for her too. ❤
You look so healthy and beautiful! Thanks for showing your baby bump! ❤ congratulations! I’m sure Scarlet will enjoy being a sister!
With my 3rd pregnancy I also had an early miscarriage. I had a positive pregnancy test and went in for blood work and found out that my pregnancy hormones were not where they were supposed to be at and I ended up having a miscarriage and I was devastated. I also had to go back and tell a lot of people that I miscarried. A year later I got pregnant with my daughter who is now 7 and I waited a few months to tell people I was pregnant because I was on edge and stressed the whole entire pregnancy and worried I was going to miscarry. Thank you for talking about this because a lot of women unfortunately miscarry and it should not be a taboo conversation. God Bless you and your baby.
Congratulations on the baby 🎉 I just had my 5th in September. My second girl ❤
Mikayla! Thank you for your transparency, I felt like I was in the room right with you. Currently 39W pregnant and definitely felt less alone with how you described the craziness in emotions. Same girl! It can feel defeating although so good you have found talking it out helps ❤
Congratulations!
Babies are the most precious thing in the world and they grow really fast as you already know. Cherish some down time with your baby while you can. In no time you’ll be working full time again!!
Congratulations - so happy for you and your husband 🌷
You look healthy and gorgeous!!
Oh this is such wonderful news. Im so excited for you. Motherhood is wonderful.
I am really sorry you are feeling so sad at the moment. I wish you will feel better soon and thanks for being so honest.
Awesome, congrats,"train up a child in the way they should go and when they are older they will walk in it" You know, do what Tammy did!
Mikaela, praying for you and your family Awesome job 😊
Thank you for sharing your journey 💕 and congrats on the baby! I love listening to you because you’re genuine and full of knowledge!
Thank you for your openness and honesty. Much needed in this world! Sending you and your future baby so much love. And Hypno birthing is amazing. Thank you for mentioning it.
Oh Mikhaila, you seem to be exhausted and I sense a deep sadness within you.😢
Maybe I'm wrong but I hope you will feel better soon (in terms of physical health).
This episode was very informative - thank you for sharing honestly how you think and feel about all these things like diet, emotions, struggles, health, etc.
Wish you all the best for birth and a peaceful time with your little one.
Take it slow - small steps.
I know some of the struggles from my own two kids. Pregnancy and childbirth often trigger old traumatic experiences, especially if it's about s*xual ab*se. Psychological and physical vulnerability is an important topic here.
You got this! ❤
As a compliment, listening to you is very comforting in a way that having a female version of your father... The wisdom and logic folded into the genius of a good woman. Thank you for all you do and a request to never give up. Sending happiness and hope for joy to you and yours.
Mikhalia, you’re so beautiful and have that beautiful pregnancy glow! God Bless you and your family and I hope the rest of your pregnancy runs smooth and you have a great delivery! 🩵🩵🩵
Congratulations to you and your husband Mikhaila. I pray that God will bless you and your precious little boy during these final weeks and of course during the birth itself. Blessings too to your daughter who has a big change coming into her life.
Thanks for sharing your experience and congratulations! Very happy for you
Loved my home birth with a midwife! Best wishes with your boy! You got this. I love your comparison to throwing up. You are awesome 😂
Wow! Congratulations to you and all the otbers who are pregnant, Well wishes to you all ❤
Oh my goodness, I hope the timing of this video is a sign, because I'm taking a pregnancy test tomorrow morning! It'll be my second baby as well, and I'm so anxious for us to grow our family. You look stunning as always Mikhaila ♥️
I'm watching this on my husband's RUclips account, but please know this information is coming from a labor RN: you need to tell your provider about your headaches with vision problems. These are hallmark signs of pre-eclampsia. I don't want to cause undue alarm, I'm super stoked for you and your husband. I just audibly gasped when you mentioned having headaches that were making it hard for you to see.
Could there be other causes? She said she got the same test as an OB would give. Though I had 4 kids I don't remember what test I got. Do they test regularly for preeclampsia?
@lbee8247 So, they should be regularly checking blood pressures and testing for the presence of protein in the urine. However, prenatal care providers *should* also be on the lookout for patient symptoms suggestive of pre-eclampsia (most commonly headache, vision changes, and/or epigastric pain). This is why it's so important you tell your provider if you are having these symptoms. If these symptoms *are* present, further testing can be performed, such as a test where they collect all urine passed over 24 hours to average out the amount of protein excreted over a full day or look at the protein/creatinine ratio of the urine. They can also draw labs to look at things like platelet levels and liver enzymes. First-time mothers are at a higher risk, but if you have a different father than your first baby, you are also at higher risk.
I had preeclampsia only during labor but I had swelling and signs before- when I ate keto for a few days all my swelling would go down though- is it possible to even have preeclampsia if she’s in ketosis?
@razorbladelemonade The cause of pre-eclampsia is not completely understood. I know that there are definitely some schools of thought that believe diet plays a role. Unfortunately, just as with most health issues currently, dietary influence on pre-eclampsia is not well studied or understood. Personally, I think that there *is* definitely an inflammatory component. I'm not going to pretend to be an expert here, I'm just sharing what I know. Those symptoms in pregnancy are definitely worth mentioning to a provider, though.
It's also hard to say what is and is not being tested when prenatal care comes from midwives in the United States. I'm not saying that to disparage midwives. My first birth was a homebirth with a midwife and she was fully competent and responded to complications I experienced perfectly. However, in the United States, quality of care from midwife to midwife varies widely just because of the way the medical industry took midwives out of the system completely (the wrong move, IMO) and are slowly reincorporating them in varied ways from state to state. My understanding of midwives in Canada is that preparation and quality of midwifery care is much more standardized.
Sorry, for the novella, btw. 😆
@@ryanvartman thank you. I learned something more today. I hope she will be okay. Her and baby.
I really appreciate your honesty about your diet. Folic acid is hard for those with MTHFR to process, methylfolate is recommended. The most folate rich food is chicken liver, I ate it when I could while pregnant. I also took beef liver pills when I felt like it. Baby and I have ended up super healthy.
I took beef liver pills too during pregnancy and high dose vitamin c ❤
Just discovered I have the mutant gene at 60. I only found out bc my son was tested and he had it. When I was pregnant I craved liver which I ever eat. Now it makes sense.
i love the honesty like your dadc,, or rather your choice to speak to people ty ty ty
