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.
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.
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
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.
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.
@@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?
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
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. 😊
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 ❤️
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.
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
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 :)
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!🤗
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.
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.
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
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!!!
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!
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.
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!!! :)
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.
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?
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.
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

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.
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.
I have a fibroid a little smaller than a grapefruit and I have also been told ill need the myomectomy surgery I’m considering it!! The talk on how much pain u were in definitely scared me and also prepared me!! Also when u were talking about your anxiety during the csection i deal with that also when I don’t have control thank u for your video
@@CMK2712 hi yes i tried chaste berry tree capsules I went pescatarian and stopped eating meat I’ve also started working out more, my fibroid ended up growing one centimeter larger!! I have definitely considered possibly removing it
@@Mrsgrant2002 has your doctor recommended meds for temporary menopause? My doctor wants me to do this in hopes of shrinking it before surgery but I really don’t want to take that route. I’m going to get a second opinion after scouring the internet. I found this natural doctor who I spoke briefly with this past week. He mentioned the possibility of me being estrogen dominant which can lead to fibroid growth, thyroid problems, etc. So removing the fibroid is good but doesn’t actually fix the core problem. I’m hoping he can help me. Prayers up to you and hopefully we can get rid of these suckers and have a healthy, thriving uterus!
@@Giggles50 hi… yes I ended up finding a doctor who removed it without me having to be placed in temporary menopause. I ended up having two (one the size of a grapefruit and one the size of a golf ball that wasn’t visible until the surgery). I’m so glad I had them removed I feel so much better! I also changed my diet significantly in hopes that they will never return. So far so good!
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 🙏
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. :)
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.
with myomectomy, several incisions are made on the uterus, c-section is only 1 incision and u get epidural to numb the lower part of your body,remember in myomectomy there is no epidural to numb any limb... tx u for the information. I still believe that fibroids and ovarian cysts need to be taught at high school. There is little information about it, many women are suffering and get the surprise of their life time when they want to start a family.
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?
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!
I thought she said she had it done in 2015 in the video. She had her baby in 2018. So depending on the month, it was at minimum 2 years. Unless I misheard the year she said she had it done.
I am so glad that I found this video. I was diagnosed with fibroids recently and I’m scheduled for a myoectomy this spring. I’ve been so worried about getting pregnant and giving birth, since my doctor told me that I won’t be able to have a natural birth post surgery. I am so happy to hear that your pregnancy and c-section went well. This gives me hope. Thank you.
Use Dr Aluda herbal medicine, very effective and powerful, it works fine for me, no side effects it will help you get rid of your Fibroid fast..You can also visit his facebook page @ m.facebook.com/Dr-Aluda-107618078082125/?ref=bookmarks
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.
Currently home recovering from my myomectomy. I hadn’t watched your video prior to my surgery but it’s nice to hear people say they’ve had similar hardships during the recovery process. Like you, I didn’t take any of the narcotics I was prescribed...only the Motrin and I did fine with that. One night while in the hospital the nurse gave me a narcotic without me asking for it. I think she did it to help me rest because she noticed i hadn’t gone to sleep even after she gave me an ambien. The transition from being in the hospital to home was hard for me. No more handrails on the bed, the toilets in my home were shorter so getting all the way down was tough, my bed at home doesn’t go up and down, etc. We are hoping to have children once I am completely done recovering so I’m interested to see what my doctor says about vbac vs c-section. Very informative video!
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
OMG, I needed this type of review. But when I realized it was YOU, I screamed. I was like dang this girl looks so familiar. Why don't we fall in love is one of my favorite songs. Anyhoo. I am preparing for baby #2. I had a myomectomy last year in September and my son is due this December. So this video means a lot to me because I really don't want to have a c section, just due to my recovery process from my myomectomy had the lack of insight I had about the recovery process. But this video gave me some piece of mind. I have my c section consultation next week, so I feel like now I won't feel so against having a c section. Thanks so much for this video. Can you do a "what's in my diaper bag" video?
I'm glad I could help with some tips. And I hope you're feeling prepared with your csection around the corner in December! Stay in prayer, and just know that it is going to be a-ok! God bless you and please let us know how your healing process goes! sending you huge hugs and love!
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!!!
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 😃
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.
Thank you Ameriie, for sharing this personal journey with us. I can relate and also applaud you for having the operation before becoming pregnant. My (orange sized) fibroid was discovered during my first scan at 13wks, i was told its quite normal and sent on my way. Only to then have a premature rupture, cord prolapse, breech baby and emergency c-section at 26wks. Thank the heavens my baby boy survived, but i am still left with the fibroid now the size of a small melon. Its put me off having more children as the experience was very traumatizing and intense. Again thank you for sharing your journey very inspiring. Peace and love from the UK. 😊
That’s exactly what happened to me too. Stabbing pain throughout pregnancy and ended up With premature rupture of membrane at 26week. Baby delivered by emergency CS at 26 weeks. Fibroid left in there and not removed. Still trying to recover from traumatic experiences. Baby end up in NICU. Post partum rough
I'm not even half way through but I just had to say, you are doing a great job with explaining everything, so detailed! I had a myomectomy May 9th, I shared my story, mostly on social media so it was in bits & pieces...I may need to do a RUclips video....I have to ask my doctor about the c section or natural birth, I'm not pregnant but I have planned on a natural birth at a birthing center 😏 everything you said regarding your myomectomy story was so actual factual...thanks for sharing!!! Congratulations on mommyhood
I had a myomectomy in December 2016 and had 40 fibroids removed. Before my myomectomy I had heavy periods. Now my cycles are amazing very light and short. Also, I stop taking birth control because I believe my fibroids were related to birth control pills I had taken for years. I stay away from estrogen.
That was so helpful, I’ve had a laparoscopic myomectomy done robotically to remove my fibroids. I have to get a c-section too, whenever we decide to get pregnant. This is according to my doctor that completed the fibroid surgery. I was afraid to do the c-section bc it took me forever to recover from the fibroid surgery. Lol Hearing your story is encouraging and confirmation that all is well. Thank you! ❤️✨
Hi, how many fibroids did you get remove in you laparoscopic and how many in your open myomectomy? Which one did you do first the laparoscopy or the open myomectomy? I have 10 fibroids and I don’t know which one to choose
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.
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!
Congrats on your baby Amerie I don’t know why I feel a bond when women have c-sections. My c-section story is a little different... times were different... I was 16 years old ... they induced labor at 7a by 9p I still hadn’t dialated they decided on c-section and unfortunately all off the anesthetic wore off. I remember them starting from right to left cutting saying can you feel it .. I felt every cut every pain telling them it’s not the pressure but the pain I have a bikini cut abs were not cut but separated due to the baby and I have a hernia (I remember my aunt was there and her crying for me) ... me in my tough state I refused to scream or cry they took out my bladder and uterus (I did not see this my aunt did) then they pulled my baby boy out and the placenta is when I actually screamed it was super painful. He was 8lb 9oz. I remember the doctor counting 38 blood soaked towels. Not the greatest experience but my baby is now 26 years old with a family of his own and THAT WAS MY ONLY AND ONLY KID!!! Best wishes on the parenting journey!!!!
Hi Amerie, Thank you for sharing your story. I was wondering if you could talk more about your myomectomy and the after process. Since, most women have fibroids and do not even know or other options available, please.
My twins didn't get a bath for at least five days when they were born. We had a five day stay in hospital due to one being on Neonatal Special Care Unit, so the twin that had to stay in hospital didn't get a bath for 23 days. It's not really a thing to bath babies in hospital here in the UK anymore, I don't know why. They will show you how to bath them yourself though.
Desi R. Honestly, I saw a lump in my lower abdomen and my periods were becoming extremely heavy. I expressed my concerns to my gynecologist. I went for an ultrasound that revealed that I had them.
Desi R. It may or may not be painful depending on where they are located. Some common signs are heavier periods; more painful periods; some may have pain during sex; some may have trouble getting pregnant; and some may see an increase in size in their lower abdomen that isn't due to fat (I had a hard lump on the left side of my lower abdomen). Some women, like my mom, had no symptoms. Only a Gyn would know for sure, but I've learned that many dont say anything until they are large enough for surgery, which is likely when they become a problem for the person. If caught when they are small, lifestyle changes might help (becoming vegetarian or very clean eating with lots of organic non-GMO foods).
Desi R. My doctor stated that a large percentage of women have fibroids. However, a lot of women are not symptomatic. I wouldn’t worry if it isn’t causing you pain, heavy bleeding etc. Everything will work out. God bless you. ❤️
Hey congrats ! Whenever You get a chance could you do a review of the throne of glass series? Like the whole thing. I just started reading them a month ago. I’m on book six now and I’m debating on reading it now or wait until the last one comes out in October. I really wanted to hear your feelings on the series and what you thought of them. I started reading again because of your channel, and I respect your views. Thank you if you can. If you can’t thanks anyway and I’ll continue to support you. Again, congrats on your baby boy.
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.

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!!!!! 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
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 :)
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!🤗
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?
The gas pain from the c-section is SO MUCH WORSE of a pain than the actual c-section! Could not agree more!
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!
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!
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. ❤❤❤
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.
Congrats on your baby
Thank you!
I listen to your song “Talking to me” everyday 😩❤️
Definetly getting the hoodie!
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.
Great video, very informative. Congratulations to you and your husband, God blessed you guys with a BEAUTIFUL baby.👍👍👍👍
She is so pretty still
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
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!!!
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!
Can’t wait to see the Korean recovery video!
It's so weird (in a good way) to hear you talk about the exact same thing I went through with my C.sections.
Congradulations as well, # 1 true fan
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.
Ameriie, thank you for sharing. I've missed you, your book reviews, especially your tea times.
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!!! :)
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.
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?
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.
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 🤗😊

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.
Congratulations baby girl. Blessing to your newborn and family. Parenting is a wonderful and joyous responsibility☺
I'm so happy you're sharing your experience ❤️
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 😘
Thanks for sharing your story Amerie!! I had my fibroid surgery in April and my recovery time wasn't bad.
I have a fibroid a little smaller than a grapefruit and I have also been told ill need the myomectomy surgery I’m considering it!! The talk on how much pain u were in definitely scared me and also prepared me!! Also when u were talking about your anxiety during the csection i deal with that also when I don’t have control thank u for your video
Me too... And I really don’t want to do the surgery. Have you tried any natural methods to shrink it?
@@CMK2712 hi yes i tried chaste berry tree capsules I went pescatarian and stopped eating meat I’ve also started working out more, my fibroid ended up growing one centimeter larger!! I have definitely considered possibly removing it
@@Mrsgrant2002 has your doctor recommended meds for temporary menopause? My doctor wants me to do this in hopes of shrinking it before surgery but I really don’t want to take that route. I’m going to get a second opinion after scouring the internet. I found this natural doctor who I spoke briefly with this past week. He mentioned the possibility of me being estrogen dominant which can lead to fibroid growth, thyroid problems, etc. So removing the fibroid is good but doesn’t actually fix the core problem. I’m hoping he can help me. Prayers up to you and hopefully we can get rid of these suckers and have a healthy, thriving uterus!
@@CMK2712 Did you find a good doctor? Did you get rid of yours?
@@Giggles50 hi… yes I ended up finding a doctor who removed it without me having to be placed in temporary menopause. I ended up having two (one the size of a grapefruit and one the size of a golf ball that wasn’t visible until the surgery). I’m so glad I had them removed I feel so much better! I also changed my diet significantly in hopes that they will never return. So far so good!
Hooray for a supersized ep! Loved your birth story and all the healthcare tips you provided. Congrats again!
Just posting to say congrats on the baby, and best wishes. Longtime fan - glad to see you're doing well.
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 🙏
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?
When you described the pain tears fell because I remember it well😢 Thank you so much for sharing your experience💛
Listening to your c section story and I can't belive I did this 5 times!
5 csections.... How was that any tips
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.
with myomectomy, several incisions are made on the uterus, c-section is only 1 incision and u get epidural to numb the lower part of your body,remember in myomectomy there is no epidural to numb any limb... tx u for the information. I still believe that fibroids and ovarian cysts need to be taught at high school. There is little information about it, many women are suffering and get the surprise of their life time when they want to start a family.
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?
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!
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.
How long did it take you to get pregnant after the myomectomy?
Same I like to kn
My doctor said you’re supposed to wait at least 6months before trying
how long to wait i reach 4 month
I thought she said she had it done in 2015 in the video. She had her baby in 2018. So depending on the month, it was at minimum 2 years. Unless I misheard the year she said she had it done.
2 years later, she replied on someone else's comment further down the page.
I am so glad that I found this video. I was diagnosed with fibroids recently and I’m scheduled for a myoectomy this spring. I’ve been so worried about getting pregnant and giving birth, since my doctor told me that I won’t be able to have a natural birth post surgery. I am so happy to hear that your pregnancy and c-section went well. This gives me hope. Thank you.
How many fibroids did you get remove?
Use Dr Aluda herbal medicine, very effective and powerful, it works fine for me, no side effects it will help you get rid of your Fibroid fast..You can also visit his facebook page @ m.facebook.com/Dr-Aluda-107618078082125/?ref=bookmarks
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.
Currently home recovering from my myomectomy. I hadn’t watched your video prior to my surgery but it’s nice to hear people say they’ve had similar hardships during the recovery process. Like you, I didn’t take any of the narcotics I was prescribed...only the Motrin and I did fine with that. One night while in the hospital the nurse gave me a narcotic without me asking for it. I think she did it to help me rest because she noticed i hadn’t gone to sleep even after she gave me an ambien. The transition from being in the hospital to home was hard for me. No more handrails on the bed, the toilets in my home were shorter so getting all the way down was tough, my bed at home doesn’t go up and down, etc. We are hoping to have children once I am completely done recovering so I’m interested to see what my doctor says about vbac vs c-section. Very informative video!
Feel better mama! Just take your time and be good to yourself! You got this.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
r u pregnent?
Keia Smith, hi , sorry for the question but how many fibroids did you get remove?
@@silviaarenas4966 3
CONGRATULATIONS on your new bundle of joy!
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
You are so honest I love your channel I have fibroids so this really helped me out Thank you
OMG, I needed this type of review. But when I realized it was YOU, I screamed. I was like dang this girl looks so familiar. Why don't we fall in love is one of my favorite songs. Anyhoo. I am preparing for baby #2. I had a myomectomy last year in September and my son is due this December. So this video means a lot to me because I really don't want to have a c section, just due to my recovery process from my myomectomy had the lack of insight I had about the recovery process. But this video gave me some piece of mind. I have my c section consultation next week, so I feel like now I won't feel so against having a c section. Thanks so much for this video. Can you do a "what's in my diaper bag" video?
I'm glad I could help with some tips. And I hope you're feeling prepared with your csection around the corner in December! Stay in prayer, and just know that it is going to be a-ok! God bless you and please let us know how your healing process goes! sending you huge hugs and love!
Hey! Congratulations on your baby!!!!! How long did it take to conceive after your myomectomy?
amajirs08 , how many fibroids did you get remove? How did everything go on your baby labor?
First off, congratulations!
Second, how long did it take to conceive?
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!!!
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?
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😚
After watching this video, I feel calmer. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you and your family. ❣
I’m going to see if I can get the laparoscopic myomectomy Already had a c-section Thanks so much for sharing!
Can you share more about the pregnancy? Was it difficult getting pregnant after having the surgery? Did you use IVF or naturally get pregnant?
Reerei Dia what part are you referencing?
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!!!!! I love watching your videos, they are so calming and relaxing, I feel like I can watch all day.
I love you girl and congrats on your baby! p.s. I need more music from you 😭😭
Thank you Ameriie, for sharing this personal journey with us. I can relate and also applaud you for having the operation before becoming pregnant. My (orange sized) fibroid was discovered during my first scan at 13wks, i was told its quite normal and sent on my way. Only to then have a premature rupture, cord prolapse, breech baby and emergency c-section at 26wks. Thank the heavens my baby boy survived, but i am still left with the fibroid now the size of a small melon. Its put me off having more children as the experience was very traumatizing and intense. Again thank you for sharing your journey very inspiring. Peace and love from the UK. 😊
Sorry you went through such a traumatic experience! But thank God your son is healthy!🙏🏽❤️
That’s exactly what happened to me too. Stabbing pain throughout pregnancy and ended up
With premature rupture of membrane at 26week. Baby delivered by emergency CS at 26 weeks. Fibroid left in there and not removed. Still trying to recover from traumatic experiences. Baby end up in NICU. Post partum rough
💞💞💞Beautiful story💞💞💞
Congrats to you and your hubby on your lovely bundle of joy! May he bring you much happiness in the coming years😍
Thanks I clicked on quick. Love you and your family. Enjoy everything about you and your stories real life and what your writing.
I'm not even half way through but I just had to say, you are doing a great job with explaining everything, so detailed! I had a myomectomy May 9th, I shared my story, mostly on social media so it was in bits & pieces...I may need to do a RUclips video....I have to ask my doctor about the c section or natural birth, I'm not pregnant but I have planned on a natural birth at a birthing center 😏 everything you said regarding your myomectomy story was so actual factual...thanks for sharing!!! Congratulations on mommyhood
I had a myomectomy in December 2016 and had 40 fibroids removed. Before my myomectomy I had heavy periods. Now my cycles are amazing very light and short. Also, I stop taking birth control because I believe my fibroids were related to birth control pills I had taken for years. I stay away from estrogen.
FORTY fibroids?! Wow...
Hi, were you able to get pregnant after they remove the 40 fibroids
Were you able to conceive?
Im so happy you are a mother now I just know you are a great mom River is very lucky!
That was so helpful, I’ve had a laparoscopic myomectomy done robotically to remove my fibroids. I have to get a c-section too, whenever we decide to get pregnant. This is according to my doctor that completed the fibroid surgery. I was afraid to do the c-section bc it took me forever to recover from the fibroid surgery. Lol Hearing your story is encouraging and confirmation that all is well. Thank you! ❤️✨
Hi, how many fibroids did you get remove in you laparoscopic and how many in your open myomectomy? Which one did you do first the laparoscopy or the open myomectomy? I have 10 fibroids and I don’t know which one to choose
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.
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!
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
Congrats on your baby Amerie I don’t know why I feel a bond when women have c-sections. My c-section story is a little different... times were different... I was 16 years old ... they induced labor at 7a by 9p I still hadn’t dialated they decided on c-section and unfortunately all off the anesthetic wore off. I remember them starting from right to left cutting saying can you feel it .. I felt every cut every pain telling them it’s not the pressure but the pain I have a bikini cut abs were not cut but separated due to the baby and I have a hernia (I remember my aunt was there and her crying for me) ... me in my tough state I refused to scream or cry they took out my bladder and uterus (I did not see this my aunt did) then they pulled my baby boy out and the placenta is when I actually screamed it was super painful. He was 8lb 9oz. I remember the doctor counting 38 blood soaked towels. Not the greatest experience but my baby is now 26 years old with a family of his own and THAT WAS MY ONLY AND ONLY KID!!! Best wishes on the parenting journey!!!!
I can imagine what you went through no one should go through such horrific experience, but thank God your son is okay and doing well
Hi Amerie, Thank you for sharing your story. I was wondering if you could talk more about your myomectomy and the after process. Since, most women have fibroids and do not even know or other options available, please.
Thanks for sharing your story. I just had my myomectomy surgery this month. 🙏🏽❤
It's just one thing! Love you girl!
I’m so happy to see u back ❤️ missed u😘
My twins didn't get a bath for at least five days when they were born. We had a five day stay in hospital due to one being on Neonatal Special Care Unit, so the twin that had to stay in hospital didn't get a bath for 23 days. It's not really a thing to bath babies in hospital here in the UK anymore, I don't know why. They will show you how to bath them yourself though.
Cece Cheung yh
Wow! Congrats on the baby! I had no idea there was so much involved in pregnancy/C section! Thanks for sharing!
Wow, this was so informative. Thank you for sharing your experience, and congratulations!!
Thank you!😊
26 fibroids removed. Smallest.2 oz largest 7 lbs. Myomectomy, 2 yrs later full hysterectomy. Congrats on your child. Good luck.
Wow, 7 lbs. I had 13 and although I don't remember how much they all weighed, I was about 7 lbs. lighter from all of them.
Ms. Trini Likewise. I had 11 removed on Monday. I feel so much lighter.
Desi R. Honestly, I saw a lump in my lower abdomen and my periods were becoming extremely heavy. I expressed my concerns to my gynecologist. I went for an ultrasound that revealed that I had them.
Desi R. It may or may not be painful depending on where they are located. Some common signs are heavier periods; more painful periods; some may have pain during sex; some may have trouble getting pregnant; and some may see an increase in size in their lower abdomen that isn't due to fat (I had a hard lump on the left side of my lower abdomen). Some women, like my mom, had no symptoms. Only a Gyn would know for sure, but I've learned that many dont say anything until they are large enough for surgery, which is likely when they become a problem for the person. If caught when they are small, lifestyle changes might help (becoming vegetarian or very clean eating with lots of organic non-GMO foods).
Desi R. My doctor stated that a large percentage of women have fibroids. However, a lot of women are not symptomatic. I wouldn’t worry if it isn’t causing you pain, heavy bleeding etc. Everything will work out. God bless you. ❤️
Thank you for sharing your amazing experience, you always explain everything so well. Congrats again ✨💜☀️ You look amazing 😍
Congratulations and so glad that you made it through okay. Also, glad to see you back.
Hey congrats ! Whenever You get a chance could you do a review of the throne of glass series? Like the whole thing. I just started reading them a month ago. I’m on book six now and I’m debating on reading it now or wait until the last one comes out in October. I really wanted to hear your feelings on the series and what you thought of them. I started reading again because of your channel, and I respect your views. Thank you if you can. If you can’t thanks anyway and I’ll continue to support you. Again, congrats on your baby boy.
Thank you so much for sharing of your experienced my dear❤️
I learned a lot. Be blessed and stay beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
