Really really want to know how your feeling mentally with your past history of anxiety and depression.
Taylor Taylor I agree! Praying for her I hope it’s ok
I’m curious as well. Mentally I was healthy before and all throughout pregnancy, thought postpartum mental health would be a breeze. I ended up suffering from severe postpartum anxiety and depression. It can be a very scary thing. :(
I just remember all her old videos and how bad her depression got and her anxiety attacks. I am 13 weeks pregnant and I haven’t had much anxiety and no history of depression so I was wonder how she felt after the baby
Jaycee Garcia hope your ok now. I know how that feels I had postpartum ocd. It’s all the hormone fluctuations.
She has mentioned baby blues so I was wondering as well. I had anxiety and depression before pregnancy but it didn’t get worse after baby luckily.
Don't let any negativity get to you, especially after having a baby, your emotions are still on a high.
Whether you breastfeed, pump, or bottle feed YOUR baby, as long as your little man is fed, healthy and growing, you're doing what you feel is best for y'all.
Being a mom, especially as a first timer, is SO overwhelming and difficult at first, but when you get into your-his groove it gets so much easier.
Take care of you too. Your health, mentally and physically.
Your little man is so precious.
I'm a mom of 3 boys and I finally got my girl in September.
You're doing great Meg. ♡
It seems like you always set up these dream scenarios in your head about life (getting married/wedding, marriage, birth, babies, RUclips) and always expect everything to be perfect. That is why you’re always disappointed. Motherhood and marriage is hard work and comes with A LOT of ups and downs. Kids are wonderful but they are exhausting! The baby years will take a toll on you and test your marriage and patience. That is why there needs to be a strong foundation to begin with.Don’t even get me started on the teenage years. You need to let go of any unrealistic expectations and just embrace what is or you will literally drive yourself mad and always be unhappy.
BRAVO!!!!!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
I was just reading ur comment and i was thinking .... Wait til they're teenagers and then u took the words right out of my mouth!!
ASMR Destination Sleep Teenagers are the worst! Lol I feel like if someone can get through those years, you can survive anything
@@lkno2264 Amen lol....I have a 17 year old and I always remember how easy he was as a little one. Having a teenager is a whole other world of worry!
L Kno I keep hearing teenagers are the worst which scares me because I dislike the newborn stage! My eldest is 6 and I’m enjoying this age and my youngest is 2 months old. I guess every stage has its ups and downs for sure
I think women aren’t properly educated on just how traumatic and difficult labor can be! My labor and deliveries were very similar to yours, Meg. Women are pretty amazing!
This!!!
Amen to this!!!
It’s not supposed to be like that. Hospitals perpetuate fear and a lack of control over labor and delivery and treat mothers so terribly... read “Ina May’s guide to childbirth” and you’ll never go to a hospital again.
Yes ma'am God so perfectly designed us this way. 💜
April Burton I’m so sorry for your tough labor and delivery! Mine was rough too, but that doesn’t take away my knowledge of what birth CAN be. Meg is so uneducated and ignorant to some things (I don’t mean that in an insulting way, it’s just the truth) and she’s very closed off to learning. I tried to tell her things about postpartum the entire time she was pregnant and it’s hard when someone ignores what SO MANY people are saying. I’m worried she has PPD, too. And I can’t help but say that I’ve seen the head tossing video of them trying to keep baby boy awake before he was even 1 week old and I’m just disgusted... it’s so hard to watch someone mistreat a newborn in such a way... and I mean so much love toward Meg, I just wish she would listen to the fleet of amazing mothers that follow her...
Really want to know what was going through your head when you posted those videos of Anthony trying to keep the baby awake.
Video of it. ^
iladylegendary what
@@Sisi-hh5qd my comment above is the link to the video she deleted, of what you're talking about. Assuming it didn't show up? She may have blocked it. 🤷
iladylegendary yeah there's no link.
@@Sisi-hh5qd go figure. Its on Twitter still. The RUclips video got deleted.
This sounds so similar to my first labour and all these negative people on here obviously don’t understand how it impacts on your mental health.
Give Meg a break, she already has it all to deal with in her mind.
Also my second labour was so simple, I gave birth in two hours with no pain relief so please don’t be discouraged and think that you will always have horrendous labours!
Well done Meg and congratulations x
Being an L&D nurse we always try to explain everyone is different EVERYTIME is different everyone and every situation is different. So many things people don’t think about. Bleeding is definitely a side effect of magnesium!!! Your a trooper you did it mag is a yucky drug we have to use for labors to protect mom and baby but you did it and it is hard but you accomplished a lot and did what you had to do to be a mama and keep yourself and baby safe congratulations Meg!!!!! He’s GORGEOUS my mantra I always tell my families is Healthy Baby Healthy Mama that is my end goal!!! ♥️
Girl your labor sounds 100% normal. Very similar to my experience twice
I had her exact labor experiences. I definitely hated not being in the moment. I really don't remember much because I was so out of it. I'm hoping the next time is a better experience lol.
That’s not normal. Not at all. That’s neglect on the part of the hospital. Poor care, fear mongering. Natural childbirth is spectacular and empowering. I’m sorry your births were traumatic. Read “Ina May’s guide to childbirth” and become educated on what your body is meant for. Hospitals and western maternal medicine is lying to you.
@@meaniemaelily hospitals are also a life saving place, I'm glad I didn't opt for a birth outside the hospital because otherwise I'd be dead. For those of us who required an emergency cesarean, we would have been the women in the past who died during labor.
Sarah Welch The thing is that while you may have needed that cesarean anyway (although the chances are low unless you were high risk or predisposed to needing one) the intervention, induction, and full on meddling in childbirth that hospitals participate in, such as breaking your water, induction of any kind, helping to “speed up labor”, - that crap CAUSES cesareans. It’s not about natural birth for the mother, it’s all about doing things on THEIR time for THEIR convenience. Hospitals are a business, and they’re in the business of people being ill or having diseases. Pregnancy isn’t an illness or a disease.
Of course if you’re presenting preeclampsia, severe gestational diabetes, or another serious high risk issue, a hospital is the better place, but my point still stands that hospitals fear monger, take control away from the laboring mother, and prevent labor from being the empowering, powerful, fearless thing that it is. They don’t encourage you to stay natural in labor, the hawk and judge you for not wanting pitocin or an epidural. Birth has been happening for thousands of years, and only when they took the midwife away from handling pregnant women did the maternal mortality rate rise. Do your homework, girl. I’m not wrong here..
@@meaniemaelily it's not about doing homework. Ask your grandma, she was probably put to sleep to give birth to your mother and that was only a few decades ago. My grandma had 4 children and she won't even speak about the horrendous things she went through. Hospitals get enough "business", they're not in it for the money. Doctors have these things calls licenses that can be taken away so you better be sure they're doing all they can to keep women alive during labor. I'm going to trust someone who has years and years of education and hands-on experience in a medical field over someone who wants to only promote natural birthing centers. Let me guess, you're one of those non vaccinating mothers? 😫🤣 hospitals are aware of the high rates of csections and are attempting to reduce those numbers but when it's inevitable, intervention is key in saving lives.
I can agree with you on the fact that they're quick to make decisions to induce because I was for just slight high blood pressure, but it comes down to weighing options in the end. Either go home and end up with preeclampsia or induce. I spoke with several doctors and called my mother in law, who birthed 7 children, and all advised inducing EVEN with the chance of a cesarean. My baby's head was so damn big is the only reason I couldn't push her out. Otherwise my induction wouldn't be a statistic of resulting in caesarean. It really just depends on every individual's case. No 2 labors are the same. So it's hard to compare. Just don't suggest women should opt for avoiding hospitals because THAT is fear mongering.
People pain is subjective. I really don’t get why some of you are saying she is overreacting...
Megan you did great, motherhood is a good look on you!
Congratulations girly! He is adorable! Enjoy this first year because it really does fly by! ❤️❤️
I truly do not understand why people feel the need to be so rude to her all the time. If you really dislike her so much stop watching her videos and move on with your lives. Some of these comments are just so ridiculous and cruel!
My total labor time was 27 hours. My water broke on 12/21/19 and Had my baby on 12/22/19. It was my first baby as well. I was not ready for the afterbirth and postpartum. I feel like nobody really prepared me for that. Nobody really talks about it, but good old pinterest had me ready with all the necessities at home. I love the Frida Mom wash peri bottle! That thing was great. A friend gifted it to me and I’m glad she did.
Omg your baby and I share a birthday 💕💕
Daisel Lawton would you say it’s worth buying? Since they give you one free,is it more effective at cleaning you? Jw I’m due in two weeks with my third I remember the Perry bottles sucking because there’s no angle
Miranda Gallegos I would say it’s worth buying, if they don’t give you one from the hospital. But i like you can hold it and it sprays up rather than having to twist your wrist with the one from the hospital.
Do the nursery tour! You’re going to love looking back on it ❤️ congratulations, Meg!
Commenting as I watch but I definitely just started crying as you talked about your dad saying he will see you before his flight. So beautiful! ❤️
This video makes me so happy!❤️ being a mommy looks so good on you Meg! You and Anthony will be such good parents together! Excited to see those mommy vlogs😍
You are so strong! Thank you for sharing your experience with us Meg, excited to see more of you and baby❤️
Girl that's how it is when you have a C section the first night you're completely hooked up to EVERYTHING!
I've had 4 and have only been hooked up to the piss tube for a hour after each c section
Yup and pretty much immobile for the first week and in so much pain for the first three days...
I had my c-section at 7am and was walking the halls by 4 pm!
I've had 2 c-sections and I have been unhooked from the catheter and IV within 4 hours both times.
She didn't have a c section tho.
Wish you did a 1 month post partum update.. how is baby? Wish you talked about him
This is her labor and delivery story... she said he is doing well and extremely healthy. What else do you want?
Amanda Cee wow. Bring it down a notch, she asked a legit question and gave her opinion.
@@lizo4223 theres no notches to be brought down lol. She said she wished she'd done a one month update and wished she'd talked about him... demanding much? New mom life is hard and stressful. She has a lot going on. And shes not obligated to share every single thing.
Amanda Cee the girl literally shared details about her damn poops a few videos (multiple videos) ago. I think she can share details about her son is doing lol...
Liz O if that was the purpose of this video it would have been included. Some of you clearly can’t read titles very well.
Congrats to your cousin christa on the baby girl maybe the blanket was meant for her ? Either way how wonderful :)
Blah Boo yes that’s what I was thinking, I felt like they thought the reading was only restricted to her, and she’s not the only grandchild. Nothing of the reading was really about her.
Christa isn’t family. She is a friend
Ashley Guyer she’s married to megs cousin
Yes congratulations on the baby girl Christa! I’m surprised I haven’t heard Meg mention a single word about it
Blueapril05 actually before you judge someone, you should get your facts together. Meg actually posted about it on her Instagram stories. So stop reaching for drama. 🙄
I love this video!! I'm so excited for you and I love how real and raw you are. I'm pregnant with my second son and These videos help so much even though this is my second. You are amazing momma!! ❤💙😍 you look amazing girl!! Are you nursing??
Unfortunately, I’m going in for a D&C this Friday due to baby not progressing or having a heartbeat, but watching your pregnancy videos and seeing your little bub on your Instagram stories has kept me positive. Motherhood looks so good on you, and it’s been wonderful to see you with your baby. Hope all is well for you and your family. 💓
I'm sorry 💔
I'm sorry 💔
So sorry 😭
I'm so sorry hun
Thank you ladies.. I have a 3 year old boy so at least I have him ❤️
Did Anthony get you the push present you wanted and were talking about in a vlog?
You look great Meg! Congratulations to you & Ant on your precious baby boy!! Thank you for sharing with us ♥️ glad mom &baby are doing well!
you look great meg! he is precious and i loved the stories of how everything worked out the way it did, so crazy how the universe plans everything out. so happy for you and anthony. ❤️
I’m a L&D nurse and I am loving hearing your experience. So happy you are both healthy and well! 💕
The wonder weeks app is so helpful . Shows when they are having development leaps and such ! Highly recommend
You look stunning!! ❤️❤️ congrats again on joining the mom club!
Thank you for being so honest! I personally prefer the TMI because it gives more of an honest perspective of everything! Love you and I’ve been loving the vlogs!
You might want to keep an eye on Anthony...don't want him flopping "the baby" around when no one's looking 😒
Andrea he’s seriously the most dumbest RUclips stay at home dad I’ve seen. I hope people see that video all
Over the internet
Lori Harvey I’m confused what are you guys talking about? What video?
alexis p look it up on Instagram
L Kno oh my goodness!!!!! They both dumb!
What about the way Ant taps Kaden on the back for him to burp? I feel the tapping is pretty strong, it should be done in the gentlest way possible. He does it repeatedly and going hard, I can't even look at the videos with him doing that. Kaden was only a few days old. Imagine someone tapping you like that, you would hurt,not to mention a baby.
I feel the same way about the hospital. We got no rest at all. Thankfully with both my pregnancies we were out the next day!
Love your honesty the whole way thru this journey. Sending happy vibes and lots of love to you and your family! 💕
Congrats! Thanks for sharing! It's so heartwarming to know expecting and new moms have so many resources online! It def takes a village!!! ❤
the same stuff happens to everyone that has a c-section, bedrest for 24 hours, leg machines for blood clots, you can’t get up to get the baby or do anything and the pain in your abdominal area is horribleeeee. also the nurses coming in constantly is standard for everyone, it’s so annoying. they have to come in like every hour to check your vitals, BP, etc... it’s just part of it! makes it impossible to sleep!
100 percent agree I had all of those experiences with my c section too, it was really hard!
Oh I know it is terrible for like 10 days
Amber Rose G it really was. I couldn’t stand being in bed for 24 hours straight. I was going crazy
I didnt have that experience. I was in my surgery at 8am, out at 8:36, and up and moving by 3pm. Everyones experience is different. My first c section wasnt planned, was highly traumatic and medically complicated...and the after surgery care was more what you described then
I agree that they don't tell you enough about the delivery of the placenta. I'm 56 and seriously why don't they tell you it f*cking hurts! They press on your tummy right after you go threw the whole ordeal. I love these birth stories. They didn't have them when I was pregnant. You did great Meg! I let the nurse take my 1st baby so I could rest. Don't feel bad about it. Also, I asked for a sleeping pill cuz I for sure needed it. I'm not sure if that helps future mama's but it doesn't hurt to ask. You look amazing and I didn't see any stretch marks. You're so blessed. Take care.
Yayyyy video I’ve been waiting for!! He is simply perfection 😍😍😍😍 congrats mama
A long time subscriber here. I just have to say you’re amazing meg! Congratulations on your beautiful healthy baby. You look great!
I love hearing all the details of your labor and delivery! Did you take any classes prior to birth? Did you or are you breast feeding?
You created Life Meg feel however you want that alone is amazing!! A woman’s body is amazing. Thank you for sharing your story!
So incredible to hear your labor story I watched the vlog when it first came out too. You did so amazing I’m so happy for you and Anthony! I pray that all the people that can’t help but comment rude things don’t ruin your experience sharing with all of us! I can not wait to see more! Best wishes to you guys💕
So happy for you!!!! Loved this video! You look beautiful!!
Totally can relate to you on feeling like you missed out on bonding time right after giving birth. It truly truly weighs on your heart and impacts you mentally. So happy you and baby are healthy and will continue to pray for your sweet family!
Stephanie S I totally agree. My son is over 2 and I still think about it often. Especially with the upcoming birth of my second baby!
So happy for Meg and her family though. 💖
I totally get your frustration but at least you had your baby in the room with you. My daughter was in the NICU and I literally got to hold her for a minute and a half before they took her away from me after she was born and I didn't see her again for several hours when I could walk again.. I had to get up and walk to the NICU every 2 hours day and night to feed her.. be thankful momma!!
drippingwithglamour I was the same! I hope your daughter is well now xx
SAME
Same here too, for ten days. It was such a tough thing to leave the hospital without my newborn when other parents were carrying theirs to their car to go home, and having to pump like a crazy person so I could leave some part of me at the hospital while I would be away. But she’s now healthy and strong 💓 motherhood is not an easy journey. We are all SO strong.
Loved this! And all your videos like this!! Congrats mama! He’s beautiful! So happy y’all are both happy and healthy!
I’ve been watching you and been subscribed since 2014, and I think you’re Amazing ! You are a wholesome person in all. And an amazing mother! 💕
Wait.. what.
You just said it's not normal to feel all this pain, but yet that's exactly what labor is.
She's not the brightest candle clearly.
iladylegendary pretty sure she meant since she had gotten an epidural....
Not when you get an epidural. You should not be in severe pain.
@@Sisi-hh5qd Wow, you're a rude one. And she obviously meant after the epidural.
Emily Harris And you know that how? Also, my comments not rude just true. This girl has to ask her husband if she's cutting vegetables the right way. She's dumb period.
This is the best season of your life. I’m so happy that your continuing to share everything with us. You’re meant to be a mommy! Can’t wait to see Bella with him!
Wasn't expecting this!😍😍😍😍you look so goooood meggg!😍😍😍baby is beautiful!💕😍😍😍
Such a beautiful gift. Thanks for sharing that bundle of beautiful joy with us. Anthony is so good with him.
Sounds so similar to my labor & delivery story !
Instagram & RUclips (or just family & friends lol) paint this picture that once you get the epidural you’ll be smooth sailing & thats is NOT the case for everyone 😩😩
Watching on my way to dinner with hubby! I’m 17 weeks and I’ve enjoyed watching all of your pregnancy vlogs ❤️ you look amazing, god bless you and your beautiful family ☺️
Congrats girl!! & best of luck!
Megan Leigh thank you! 🥰🥰
Loved the video!!He is just perfect Meg!!You and Ant are amazing parents!!💙💙💙💙💖💖💖
You look amazing girly!!! I hope you are doing well! I hope your anxiety and depression has improved!❤️
Wow I wrote my symptoms in the app sometimes in my first trimester. Keeping track of it every day is next level 😄
Agnie K - Shes also a vlogger.. I’m sure she wrote more down 1for her self and 2 so she had things to update and say for her videos.
When you talk about dates! We met, got married and brought our baby girl home on August 18 💞 (2014, 2018, 2019)
44mins!!! Yasssssss!!!! I'm excited!!!
You look GREAT Meg!! Loving the hair!! Congrats girl!!
I remember how painful it was delivering the placenta as well! The second time around it was so so much easier and not as painful!
I feel you on the after labor. I had a scheduled c section due to the size of my daughter. But it being my first baby I had no idea how recovery was. Being hooked up to IV's, leg cuffs to prevent blood clots, etc. Having a nurse check on me every 2 hours. And the night before my scheduled c section I went into labor so either way my daughter was meant to be born that day.
Then the next two weeks were SO painful. I had a hard time caring for my daughter. I'm so grateful for my husband and my moms help. Then my daughter struggled with latching.
But now she's almost 7 months and its crazy how hard and painful it was but I would do it over and over again to have my precious little one ❤️ I almost wish I could relive it all because I feel like time flies by.
Also in the middle of the night there was an earthquake. So I'm stuck in bed can't get up and a earthquake happens. Lol. My anxiety was so instense after that.
Thank you for sharing this video. It’s raw and real and people don’t talk about what you’ve talked about. Your not alone for sure.
Oh meg!!! I held back tears this entire video, you are so happy you’re beaming!!! I am so happy for you and Anthony and baby. I’ve watched you since back in your room at your parents house doing your favorites videos❤️ I love watching you grow, you Inspire me soo much.
i used to be such a fan of yours. i was so excited to see your makeup videos and your decorating videos omg and vlogmas but your videos and content are changing, which is great !! but honestly meg I think you get all this hate from complaining so much. it’s not you, it’s your attitude towards everything in your life.
I was disappointed too with my first baby. Having your first baby is totally traumatizing! My second labor and delivery was so much faster and all natural. Way better
I'm so happy to see another video ❤️❤️❤️
Ughhhh MEG😍😍❤️ I just had my son (first baby) on August 23rd 2019 💙👩👦 he is my lifeeee! I feel like I was meant to be a mama and I enjoy it so much. I've been watching your videos for YEARS and honestly feel like i've grown up with you. Watching ur videos has gotten me thru SO much. I am honestly SO HAPPY FOR YOU💙💙 being a mom is so special & I love watching you & your familys journey!! You are such a beautiful person inside & out & an amazing mamabear. THANK YOUUU FOR BEING SO RAW & REAL WITH ALL OF US. I love that I can FINALLY relate to a youtubers experience!! Xo & wish you and your family so much love & happiness in 2020 & years to come!!
Your labor sounds completely normal. Your nose was stuffy during pregnancy bc of all the fluid that your body stores in preparation for labor. Once labor started, that fluid went out of your face and replaced the water that came out when your water broke. God didn’t do that just to make it easier for you. Your labor wasn’t bad. It was exactly how every single other person with a normal labor is.
Meg I bet they had your due date off! I had my first two weeks early. The WHOLE pregnancy they said he was smaller, then all of the sudden they said oh my gosh you’re going to have a huge baby... he came two weeks “early” and was a very normal size! 7lb 14 ounces! I always think to myself after three babies, I think they had his due date off
so precious!! happy for you and your new little fam!
Yay been waiting for a new video ❤️
Katelyn West same! Small youtuber here ❤️
Such a similar story to mine!! Except I was induced because of pre eclampsia and ended in a c section. But mag is the WORST!!!
Kaitlyn Ottman same! My daughter was 33 weeks and 3 days so i had to have mag and a c section. Mag is the absolute worst thing I’ve ever had
Mag is the worse. I was soooooo hot and everyone around me was freezing. I couldn’t wait until it was over
Meg, do you think you could do a video on your anxiety and your pregnancy in general? Like talking about the challenges and what helped you, also if you are on any psych meds and if so how you handled that? I have anxiety and know I want to be a mom one day but pregnancy with anxiety just scares me lol
I've been on Zoloft for 4 years to control my severe manic depression & anxiety, and to be completely safe my doctor tapered me down until I was completely off of it during my first trimester for baby's safety. But then as soon as I was in my second trimester, we worked our way back up to my dosage & it's been incredible. You don't realize how badly you need the medicine until you can't have it! I'm due here in a few weeks & baby has progressed perfectly! Everybody talks about postpartum depression/anxiety but I feel like nobody talks about pre-existing depression/anxiety.
brie crisanti Thats good to know, thank you! And yes I completely agree! Hopefully the stigma continues to die and people can be transparent about their total experience :)
You look great!! So happy for you’re little fam! 💙
You look absolutely beautiful mama 💛I am so proud of you and all your accomplishments 💕 I’ve been watching you for like ever! You Inspire me 💕
Sounds like a super normal labour. Well to mine and plenty of my friends too. If you thought it was painful after an epidural imagine it without 😂 I did it without and it’s a whole different experience!
J ASampson Same! It’s excruciating
J ASampson OMG ME TOO
Yup!... I have 4 kids.. and had 2 with epidural and 2 without any drugs..... it is painful!.. but I would do it without drugs 100%!! The recovery after is 1000% better!!
That’s not normal labor...
Jesus I’m so sad about all you women in the comments that have had horrible traumatic births and think it’s NORMAL! Good god... how tragic! Y’all need to read everything written by Ina May Gaskin. PLEASE.
Hospitals are NOT WHERE WOMEN NEED TO GIVE BIRTH. BIRTH IS NOT A DISEASE!!!
J ASampson I did it without too and I didn’t think it was that bad but I have a high pain tolerance and may be forgetting a little. The actual labour was painful but not pushing until I got to the head
Every labor is so different. My second my epidural didn’t work at all, they gave up with it. It was horrible! My third was my biggest baby and it was my easier birth.. hardly any pain! So maybe next time it will be easier :)
I’m so excited for these next steps in your lives! Your baby boy is so beautiful and you can just so the glow you carry talking about him 😭❤️
I love when you post long videos!! Congratulations on your precious little baby boy!! I follow you on Instagram and just wanted to say your doing a great job! Can’t wait to see you grow as a mommy. 👶 💕
Are you nursing? No judgement. Just curious.
She’s not.
Katie H. How do you know?
Tayler James you can see in the vlogs she’s feeding him bottles and giving him pacis right from the hospital that’s not typical for breastfed babies
Taylor Smith She could be pumping. I had to do that with my first.
Breastfed babies can be fed breastmilk out of a bottle? My son is still nursing at 13 months and takes bottles of breastmilk too
I got an epidural and it did not work so they took it out. Sometimes they don’t work at all and it sucks!
I'm so happy for you and Anthony... Kaden is so precious! I would love to see a nursery tour and where you got things. I'm currently pregnant and getting ready to start on our nursery, so it would be helpful. I loved following you on this journey, and I'm excited to see what the future holds in store for your family ❤
You look absolutely beautiful!!! I'm so happy for you guys! 💕
Meg called the nurse cause she couldn’t sleep after having a baby 😂
Anthony might as well quit his job now. 😂😂
This is the rudest comment ever! Who are you 2 to judge her, I guess you are both perfect!
El_love I’m pretty sure he hasn’t worked since she got pregnant. He’s always around even in the middle of the day if you see her snaps prior to having baby. People ask and she ignores so I think that’s our answer
Shelly Brashier 😂😂😂
L Kno, she spoke about him being at work in quite a few of her vlogs while pregnant so that’s not true.
I really want to know about your feelings in the past history of depression and anxiety story.
Thank you for sharing your story! You’re awesome meg 💕
I loved this! Thanks for sharing so much detail and not holding back because it gives us first time moms a real idea of what to expect. Sounds like people want postpartum updates, maybe that’ll be another video for another day? So excited to meet Kaden soon! And see him on the vlogs. Xoxo momma
You are wearing motherhood beautifully❤️
I had my daughter oct 30th then 5 years later I have my son October 30th ❤️ idk how it happened but it did!
Love your story!! So so happy for you and your little family!!! May I ask where you got your name necklace from? 🙏🏼❤️
You look so gorgeous! I am not even through the first quarter of the video and just had to mention! So excited for you in your new journey with your family ❤️
