MY BIRTH STORY (C-SECTION & MYOMECTOMY EXPERIENCE/RECOVERY + TIPS) | Amerie

- Опубликовано: 3 июл 2018
- I’m sharing with you my birth story, from my c-section to the myomectomy (fibroid surgery) I had beforehand, which led to my needing a cesarean birth. Grab a coffee or tea or put your phone next to your sink while you get ready or unready for your day, because I’m sharing lots of details regarding what I experienced, plus tips for you if you need either of these. ^_^
I’m covering what to expect during both surgeries, my experience in the differences between the two, as well as recovering from a c-section and a myomectomy (the recoveries were quite different for me). I also talk fitness and caring for your body after pregnancy.
***Here’s my favorite video that helped me regarding scar massage, both surface and deeper layers: • C-section scar massage

Im 32, no kids, but i have learned TONS from this video! Thank u for your time!
renee Mitchell same I’m 31 with no kids as well
I actually cried when you spoke about him holding your finger when he first came out 😩😩 congratulations to you and your beautiful family x
Aww thank you, Lauren!💖
Me too it reminded me of my nephew and his little pointer finger touching mine.
Same
I first want to say I've been a huge fan of you for years and I want to Congratulate you on the birth of your baby. I know exactly what you went through bc I went through it too. I had a myomectomy to remove 7 fibroids in 2006 when I was only 23 yrs old and 4 more grew back a few years later but I was still able to get pregnant. My baby was in there with the fibroids and Thankfully he was ok. I had to have a C-section in 2016 too bc of the myomectomy and I totally understand the pain you went through!!! We as women go through so much and we have to find inner strength from God to keep pushing through the pain!! Please pray for me bc now I have to have a laparoscopic hysterectomy bc that's the only way to keep my fibroids from growing back. I'm tired of getting cut on! I'm so glad everything went well for you!!! xoxo
Congratulations on the baby- praying for amazing health for you ❤
PiecesofNika God bless you! I had my surgery to remove my fibroids in 2015. Something in me knows they're growing back, but I'm afraid to hear what the Dr may say. I just dont want to go through another surgery once again.
86Kera Thank you! I hope they aren't growing back bc having so many surgeries are hard on our bodies. I'm praying for you! xoxo
Find another doc. Get another opinion. You may fair better with embolization because you are way too young for hysterectomy.
@@PiecesofNika hi, how many fibroids did they remove on your myomectomy?
Congratulations! Welcoming babies into the world is such a Blessing!💞
I've had two c-sections and a myomectomy over the course of two years. My first c-section was an emergency c-section I went into preterm labor at 6th month pregnancy and my firstborn son died 7 days after he was born July 2016. September 2016 I had my myomectomy and due to they way they cut me during my emergency c-section was a classical cut meaning vertically and VBAC was not an option. For my second son Kai, we had a scheduled c-section at 37 weeks May 25th. He was 6 lbs 2oz! I was light-headed right befors they started cutting. We were able to have a gentle c-section which mean we were able to do skin to skin.Because my son was early term he was spending more energy to maintain his bodyweight and eat so his blood sugar and temp was low. We had to supplement with donor milk for 12 hours but his blood sugar and temp was regular thank God! I did dance fitness while I was pregnant so my stomach went down in two weeks. Thanks for sharing, I share so many similarities with your birth stories. In Nigeria we also focus on hot foods and soups postpartum. Okay I typed too much, can't wait until the next video.
You didn’t type too much at all. Thank you for sharing, and so sorry to hear about your firstborn son. God bless him always.❤️ I’m glad you were able to do the gentle cesarean with Kai, and that despite the initial difficulties, he is healthy.
Thanks, Kj is our angel baby and Kai is our rainbow baby. It's good to know I am not alone in feeling light headed right before the doctor started cutting, but I didn't want to say anything. I wasn't able to hold Kj ( he went straight to NICU) until after he died. So even though I was so out of it when Kai was born to be able to do skin to skin, hold him and for him to find my nipple was the best feeling ever. Now he finds the nipple a little too good, lol. I'm going to start doing my dance fitness classes with him today! Sleep deprivation, energy draining breastfeeding sessions, cries to be close to mommy it's all worth it.
How long after myomectomy did u get pregnant
Thank you for sharing your birth story. I am a doula (birth coach) and birth stories are so healing and we can really learn from one another. Wishing you lots of health and happiness.
@@andrenesvegankitchen7492 just saw this, I got pregnant through IVF 1 year after the myomectomy.
You should start a baby series with all your remedies and suggestions since you def seem to be the research queen!
Also congrats to you and your family ❤️
It’s so beautiful that you’ve allowed us to be apart of this journey. Congratulations 🎉
Hi Amerie, your baby will be the best thing that ever happened to you. Keep bringing us the good music and thank you for sharing!
Hooray for a supersized ep! Loved your birth story and all the healthcare tips you provided. Congrats again!
Thank you so much, I don’t know anyone who has had the same experience as me so this made me feel so much better. I had an open myomectomy for 1 large fibroid, top of uterus, had to cut all the way through as it was inside and I had to stay in the hospital for 3 days because I couldn’t even roll over let alone get up till day 2 :/ same day surgery my ass. I am finally recovered fully and preparing to try again, know I have to have a c-section and have a family history of 3 week early babies. You have made me feel so much more confident in what this could look like for me, and my OB has said all the same things. Thanks so much, truly :)
Ameriie, thank you for sharing. I've missed you, your book reviews, especially your tea times.
Congrats on baby boy!💙 Your myomectomy experience was very similar to mine I had back in 2013...the pain was intense! I had 3 fibroids that were removed (2-almond sized, 1-grapefruit sized). Recovery was definitly difficult and I was told that I MUST have a C-section if I were to have kids. No kids yet, at 35...but this video helped a lot in explaining what to expect w/ an eminent C-section. Thank you for sharing your story!🤗
CONGRATULATIONS on your new bundle of joy!
I never knew you had a non music channel until one of your book hauls popped up in my video suggestion feed. Boy am I glad it did! You are the the epitome of brains,beauty and class and you love books as much as I do I had to subscribe.
cincybest Check out her interview on the Breakfast Club... That's how I found out about her channel. I like finding people who share the same interest in stories the way I do. Plus, she's just really down to earth and has a great personality.
Brian Thanks
The gas pain from the c-section is SO MUCH WORSE of a pain than the actual c-section! Could not agree more!
Congratulations!!!!! I had my son in December and he’s 6 months now. When I was delivering him his heart rate was decreasing and I was about to get a c-section, but I said I’m going to push and he was out in 5 mins and completely healthy.
My daughter was born in December too.... but I had to have a c-section because I had one with my son for the same reason his heart rate would drop everytime i had a contraction
I'm very happy you and your baby are fine. I saw this video and many others on your channel and... WOW, you look so human, so down-to-earth... what an amazing woman you are!!! :)
So real! Thanks for sharing. I'm considering surgery and this helped me to know what to expect.
Thank you so much for sharing your 2 experiences with us, it's been a real trove of information. And you've given me a few questions to ask my doctor before the surgery that I hadn't thought about, like the type of incision, the location of the incision. I have intramural fibroids so I worry I'll have a C-section but I remain hopeful for NVB. xx I can't imagine what you felt when your son reached out for you and grabbed your finger. What a beautiful moment! Thank you again!
Congratulations amerie on your little one..looking forward to your album/musical expressions among other gifts you wanna share with the world
Thank you Ameriie for sharing both of your stories. I love how informative you are and you don't just skip over topics. Congratulations on your beautiful son! I am sure that you are going to be an amazing mother. Please continue to do updates and looked into foods, minerals and different herbs for anxiety there are some good stuff out there.
Congrats on becoming a Mommy! 💜
I recently had a boy as well via C-Section & I felt the exact way you described (panic attack) when getting the anesthesia. It kinda felt like being buried alive or something... thanks for sharing-it’s nice knowing other ppl went through the same thing. 😊
Congratulations!!!!! I love watching your videos, they are so calming and relaxing, I feel like I can watch all day.
I could totally relate to your post op experience. Just had an open myomectomy a few days ago and the way you described ur post op pain and struggle is just so accurate! Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks I clicked on quick. Love you and your family. Enjoy everything about you and your stories real life and what your writing.
Loved that you shared your experience and congratulations ❤️🤗
I'm so excited for you and your new journey!!! I know you're an amazing mother!!! God bless you and yours always all ways😚
Just posting to say congrats on the baby, and best wishes. Longtime fan - glad to see you're doing well.
Thanks for sharing your story with us! I'm sure this will help a lot of women who are going through what you went through. Hope you and your beautiful family are doing well 🤗😊
❤️-Angie
Congratulations baby girl. Blessing to your newborn and family. Parenting is a wonderful and joyous responsibility☺
Great video, very informative. Congratulations to you and your husband, God blessed you guys with a BEAUTIFUL baby.👍👍👍👍
I can tell that you read books alot by the way you speak. I literally pictured every word you said. Congrats on your new addition!
Beautiful video! Thanks for giving this information to so many women who really need to hear it. Very helpful Ameriie! Can you do a video about how you decided you were ready to have kids?
💞💞💞Beautiful story💞💞💞
Congrats to you and your hubby on your lovely bundle of joy! May he bring you much happiness in the coming years😍
I'm so happy you're sharing your experience ❤️
Wow what an incredible story! So cute how he held your hand when he was born. I almost had an emergency c-section and I agree that the operation room is scary. Great tips for after the birth too. Thanks for sharing.
I had an open myomectomy and now a planned C-section in a few weeks. This information is priceless and makes me feel so much more informed... Thank you so much. You have such a sweet and gentle spirit.
I'm having my c section next week after 2 open myomectomies with several huge fibroids. I'm nervoussss. I have fibroids now too.
Hello @@rellegirl100, how did it go ?
Hope you are fine and the bb
@@emmerenciametoh5190 Thank you for reaching out. It went good. I lost a lot of blood but the doctors had me set up to get blood right away. Baby girl was healthy at 37 weeks. Now I'm pregnant again and when I had my ultrasound they only saw like 2 fibroids. I had over 20 before. I am still trying to figure out where they went?
Congratulations again and thank you for sharing your fibroid/birth story!!! I am half Japanese so I completely understand the whole confinement and eating/not eating certain foods after birth, so I'm glad you brought that up in this video! Curious to learn more about the Korean method!!! Thank you, and I have been a fan since the beginning
Thank you so much for making this video. I'll be having a myomectomy next week and it has been hard finding real stories and experience. Your video definitely helped me 🙏
I’m so happy to see u back ❤️ missed u😘
When you described the pain tears fell because I remember it well😢 Thank you so much for sharing your experience💛
Thank you for sharing! I had a myomectomy four years ago and currently pregnant with a planned c-section. Good information!
LaTanja Jones I just had a myomectomy April 23,2019 I had eight large fibroids removed I had to get cut from the belly button on down. How long after u had the surgery you got pregnant
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! It's so very much appreciated! I'm scheduled for a myomectomy and feel better prepared now.
Wow! Congrats on the baby! I had no idea there was so much involved in pregnancy/C section! Thanks for sharing!
I love you girl and congrats on your baby! p.s. I need more music from you 😭😭
I listen to your song “Talking to me” everyday 😩❤️
Congradulations as well, # 1 true fan
Thanks for laying out all the details of your experience!! I’m nervous about deciding what to do for my fibroids and this helped me a lot. ❤❤❤
Congrats Ameriie! Been a fan since 2002, "All I Have" is 1 of my favorite album 2 date.
I wasn’t share if this was her or not!
Thank you for sharing your amazing experience, you always explain everything so well. Congrats again ✨💜☀️ You look amazing 😍
Hi Amerie I have had 2 c-sections and I have Fibroids which caused alot of problems with bleeding im getting a hysterectomy soon its good to know that ur sharing ur story so many woman suffer from fibroids and don't take action and get them removed because there scared of surgery and the recovery Thanks!! For sharing ur story much Love from D.M.V.
I am curious if you had the hysterectomy to address fibroids and if so, whst the recovery experience was like. Also had two C-sections and making some decisions.
Thank you for sharing your birth story! It was beautiful! I had two boys in two years (my youngest is 6 months). Little boys are so much fun! Congratulations to you and your husband!
Thanks for sharing your story Amerie!! I had my fibroid surgery in April and my recovery time wasn't bad.
So happy I found your channel! I haven’t had a baby yet but I do have anxiety so looking forward to watching your video on that x
Can’t wait to see the Korean recovery video!
Just found out I have a fibroid at the top in the muscle wall. This was one of the most informative videos I have seen on RUclips about Myomectomy. Thank you! I’m going to have one through the belly button. I really appreciate all the information.
Definetly getting the hoodie!
Congratulations and many blessings to you and your family! Beautiful story! 💞🌹
All of this is TMI but I'm super here for it. I'm also interested in the Korean Postpartum. No, I don't have a uterus, but I have been glued to this since you began!
Love hearing people talk about their experiences with anesthesia! Based on your history, I suspect your anesthesia provider may have opted for an epidural catheter (over the single injection spinal) in case your surgery ran long. Leaving the catheter allows us to prolong the duration of your anesthetic. Loved the video!!!
Congratulations and so glad that you made it through okay. Also, glad to see you back.
An hour of you talking really makes my day. You're so strong and down to earth and I love it. Quick question. Is that a cactus behind you on the windowsill?
After watching this video, I feel calmer. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you and your family. ❣
I adore you Amerie so inspirational!
You are so honest I love your channel I have fibroids so this really helped me out Thank you
She is so pretty still
Thank you for sharing your experience! You're so courageous! 😍
Wow, this was so informative. Thank you for sharing your experience, and congratulations!!
Thank you!😊
Thank u, Amerie, this is so helpful.💜
Thank you so much for your detailed Myomectomy story. I’m going in next week. Super nervous. But thankful you shared your story so I know now what to expect. xo
All the best
I just had my myomectomy 3 weeks ago, my recovery was very smooth mainly because I had my mom with me helping with a lot. My pain management was great and I’m surprised Amerie had such pain. Honestly I felt so little pain that I was walking normally in 3 days.
My only problem now is the belly pooch that formed ( I’m 5’4 and weigh 56kg) my stomach has always been very flat but now there is a little pooch above the scar line which honestly I’m devastated about but I’m starting training soon to tackle that
So I will say talk to your doctor about the pooch because seeing it after is not a pretty sight. But I’m fibroid free now 😃
@@fullmetalprism5249 Did you get it done laparoscopically?
Thank you so much for sharing of your experienced my dear❤️
I learned a lot. Be blessed and stay beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
I'm so glad I came across this video. I have an open myomectomy March 17th. And now my significant other says he wants to start trying for a baby soon. My instant fear was that I couldn't have a baby after this. I'm so happy you conceived! This gives me hope 🥰 thank you
It's so weird (in a good way) to hear you talk about the exact same thing I went through with my C.sections.
Im so happy you are a mother now I just know you are a great mom River is very lucky!
Congrats on your baby
Thank you!
I know you're a writer, and you need to channel that magical moment somehow. It's beautiful.
Congratulations 🎶 Ameriie. Welcome to motherhood💕
Thank you so much for sharing your story so in-depth! I also get anxiety and started getting panic attacks recently in life so I totally felt your panic attack when you were describing it. I had a miscarriage recently, probably due to my large fibroid. I was afraid the fibroid removal would weaken my uterus so my husband and I wanted to see first if we could get pregnant normally without the removal. Now, after conceiving naturally and losing my baby, we have opted for a myomectomy and hopefully I can conceive again, afterwards. Thank you for helping me to mentally and emotionally prepared for this road ahead.
It's just one thing! Love you girl!
You explained the myomectomy experience perfectly. I had mine in 2008 and had my first child via c-section 4 yrs later. Best decision I made.
Hi, how many fibroids did you get remove?
Congratulations, Ameriie, and thanks for being so detailed! I'm wondering if you could speak more on your overall thoughts on being pregnant in your late 30s. I know for a lot of women, there are a lot of questions and possible concerns about it, and I think it would be helpful to hear your thoughts on it.
I have anxiety and deal with panic and this video helped a lot. I’m not too keen on the table though because I’m not too comfortable with being on an incline like that. I don’t plan on having a sprout for years, but it’s good to know what to expect.
Congrats 🎊🎈🎉🍾 amazing 😉 I cannot wait for the journey having a baby is beautiful
You’re amazing! 💕✨
Congrats on your baby boy!! Thank you so much for sharing your story. The day that I was scheduled for a myomectomy, I found out that I was pregnant. I am scheduled to give birth to my baby boy next month via a C-Section. Wishing you continued blessings and a wonderful journey of motherhood.
😄Ahhh congratulations! And remember to try the laid back nursing position! God bless you and your little baby boy!!💖💖💖
And just breathe during the surgery and know that everything is going to be blessed!!😘
Thank you so much 😘
Congratulations girl!
I just had my myomectomy yesterday. I’m in so much pain. Mainly from the air they pumped into me, anesthesia and the pain medication side effects. Praying for a speedy recovery.
Wishing you a speedy recovery🤗😘 i had my myo november 3 almost 6 weeks post op im doing well and my incision healed really good.
God bless your recovery❤️ Take it easy and remember to gently massage after several weeks and keep it up even a couple of years after!
Also wishing you a blessed and safe recovery, RebelChic.❤️
@@Amerie. thank you so much 🤗
Thank you @amerie 💕I’m feeling so much better.
Listening to your c section story and I can't belive I did this 5 times!
5 csections.... How was that any tips
Loved your music from long time. Sorry to hear about your the Fibroids. I have been doing yoni pearl cleansing and drinking fibroid tea from amazon or ebay for the pain it's worked a lot for me massively and my flows not as heavy or long. I'm worried about this happening too when I have children and have 2 Fibroids. It's so nice for you to share and congratulations on your family xx
This made me a tad more afraid of my myomectomy but nothing I know I cant get through. I like the realism. My fibroid was 4 cm two year ago and I missed my ultrasound for one year and in the two years it grew 5 cm so my 9 cm fibroid is a little smaller than the head of a newborn, per my gyn. Nervous to get this out but I do want kids in the future. Just turned 30 and I would hate something like a fibroid to be the reason why I don't have kids later. Great Vid! I wonder how frequently Asian women get fibroids...Black women have them a lot. My grandmother, my mother and myself. AH WOMANHOOD lol
Edit: Had the myomectomy 7 weeks ago- and she's right...it sucked...it's DOABLE, but it's long and uncomfortable and pillows are your only true friends in life...but I hear C-sections are easier...at first I was like "Im never gonna get cut again, this is BS" but now I think C-section really might be easier...you're not getting worked on...just getting the baby out, no extra cutting, no fibroids removed, or that jazz. :)
r u pregnent?
My grandma had to have 3 c-sections (2 in the 40s and 1 in the 60s, aka my dad lol) and they cut through her abs so that is a very old practice. My best friend had one 4 years ago, and they cut the abdomen I'm guessing similar to yours. Very interesting and informative story! Thanks for sharing and congrats!!!
Thanks for sharing your story. I just had my myomectomy surgery this month. 🙏🏽❤
I am so slow, I was just about to say WOW you look like the singer Amerie LOL You are a beauty
not even finished watching the video but you're talking about what induces panic attacks and I am right there with you! Ever tried to watch Cosmos? I can't. Immediate panic attack.
Congratulations on your beautiful baby 💐❤️🇭🇹
Congratulations on your baby! Also, thank you for sharing your birth story. I had my baby boy a week ago and I suffer with anxiety, too. How was your anxiety during your pregnancy?
Congrats on you baby Amerie 🙂🙂🙂
This was amazing!
I was soooooo thankful for my mommy taking care of me and my little one after my cerclage and birth 😊😊😊
You are so good at social media!
