You are one of a kind!!

Странно что она дома лежа рожает...

It feels so much like a harvesting a baby situation. And don’t even see you as a real human being and you have a child of your own. You have to protect your body as well!

I hope those babies see this one day. How awful of these parents. 💔💔💔 I thought of it at one point but would never.

God bless your husband He is a great example of a masculine godly man

I'm sure you two felt much peace after this conversation, just looking at how much God has done for you two and his faithfulness from when you had little to more. Mine and my husbands testimony is so similar it's always a blessing to look back at what the Lord has done

We lived pay cheque to pay cheque for years just for me to stay home with my littles , just leaning fully on the Lord. 30k a year and my husband has never ever asked me to work! Even when the kids are grown I do not believe he will make me enter the work force I thank God for that. There is always a way we can be useful to our husbands from home

LOVE that you said you might kick your OB 😂. She was literally being abusive and would have deserved a good round house kick. Your story is incredible!!! Ty so much for sharing your story and how youre not being silent on this abuse. Pregnant women should not ever be treated this way. And I'm so thankful for your amazing doula. I literally cried. ❤❤❤

My sister in-law told me that when she worked in a daycare they would take the kids in the closet because they had cameras accessible to the parents and “spank” the kids. I think about those kids all the time and hope they are okay💔🥺

I could have made this video almost word for word. I resonate with you so much, I look forward to your videos and posts. ♥️

And imagine how much money you’ve saved not having to buy formula 😅

I have a 3.5 year old and a 7 months old. I have my last day of work tomorrow. It’s been such a hard 7 months working and I am so so so thrilled to be able to stay home now! Thank you for the perspective that we only have such a short time with our kids. Never has that been more apparent than having a new baby!

When my first was born we were young 23 year olds broke and living across country from all family so had no help. When I went back to work we quickly realized my check was going to childcare so it didn’t matter if we lost our income because it went straight to daycare anyways. Now fast forward 8 years and two more kids later. I have been a stay at home mom, homeschooling and my husband makes more than he ever has in his life. It’s wild when you step into your intuition and leave it to God how he provides the opportunities to bless your life.

My husband and I were both 6am-6pm daycare kids of broken up families. I was exposed to so much worldliness from the time I was in Kindergarten from other kids that were away from their parents many hours of the day as well. 6am childcare before school, bussed to school, and then afterschool care, last kids picked up. We are so happy to be doing the opposite and have our kids home with our family together, even if we're just scraping by financially currently.

43:52 Kurin saying they were happy and Aidan saying “I was stressed” 😂😂. That’s a good man right there! My husband and I are coming out of it ourselves. He worked extra just like Aidan, so I could stay home with our son. It makes you respect and admire them so much. Great podcast!

I’ve found my people! I love being a sahm and never think my kids are a burden everyone I talk to is like “I can’t wait for daycare on Monday these kids drive me nuts” or the people that drink because of their kids and see nothing wrong with it…I LOVE being a mom and staying home with them and I now homeschool them..and I hate when you get excited about being a sahm and they instantly think you are attacking them for working

I hope all new expecting mothers come across this video. The rawness of it is amazing, this is what birth looks like. The sounds, the anxious energy and pure instinctive behaviour. The before and after of a birth, just Beautiful ❤️

This woman having a full on conversation while a baby is half way out of her - are you kidding me!! Freaking Super Hero!! Women are amazing Unbelievable

Man the more videos I watch make me lean more Into having a home birth 😨

Por dios. Ke antihigienico todo. Ai manchando toda la cama y todo. Como si fuera la edad de piedra. Y no ubiera hospitales. Ke forma de parir. Por dios.

WTF??

My sister in law was a surrogate and had an amazing experience. She made long term friendship and was so happy she was able to help the couple out.

Surrogacy isn't harm in and of itself wtf? This is a pretty disgusting clip

I would just like to point out that a lot of this contract stuff is state to state dependent. You can sign a contract but at the end of the day, most states don't recognize surrogacy contracts as legally binding. So if you're in a situation where you're in the hospital and the family wants you to have a C-section, but you do not. They can't legally force you to have surgery on your own body. Sure they could maybe sue you down the road and get their money back but they can't like get the police to come in and hold you down. And depending on the state you gave birth in, they might not even be able to sue you. So yeah it's definitely important to put all the fine details in the contract but just so everyone knows at the end of the day it is still your body. That's an important thing to know for parents who are thinking about using a surrogate as well. They can make you all sorts of promises about how they're going to make the right decision for the child in the moment, but when it comes down to it, they have the ultimate authority of what happens to their body. A lawsuit isn't going to bring back a baby who died in the birth canal because the mother refused to C-section.

Wow I’m just absolutely blown away at the vast amount of knowledge and a whole new perspective (to me) that was shared on the podcast regarding this topic!! Sending so much love, healing, and prayers to that beautiful mama that openly shared her experience with us ❤️ so profound and eye opening. I now feel much more comfortable talking about this subject with people after watching this. Thank you both so much 🫶🏼

Wow. I have been enjoying your podcast so much. I really appreciate that you are delving into difficult subjects. Being uncomfortable can broaden our minds. I do not always totally agree with your stance, but what I do experience always is your podcast makes me think! It makes me try to see things from the perspective of another person. To me part of the human experience is learning empathy for others and this is aided by having to see things thru the lens of another person. I hope you continue to put such thought into what subjects you highlight. It's great to have a podcast that is not the same ole boring topics! Really great job Kurin! 💜

The statement that you aren't owed another human being, especially at their expense is so important! Loving the podcast! Kurin please have on someone to talk about the infant adoption industry in America. It has the same issue as the surrogate industry preying on women to make a dollar.

Wow!!! I was so uneducated on this topic! Thank you so much for bringing this to light !! ❤

Ugh my heart sank at the end!!! No updates on their lives at all?? What a stab to the heart

Ugh my heart sank at the end!!! No updates on their lives at all?? What a stab to the heart

As a 3x surrogate I would do it again. It was an amazing experience all 3 times!

I can definitely agree with some of the points made in this discussion. The physical harm surrogacy can potentially cause to the surrogate is definitely not talked about enough. And I definitely don't mean to sound like I am "victim blaming" at all, but I do think this story is a testament to how important a strong, fair, well understood contract is. I also think there is a lot of room for disagreement on how it might create trauma to the babies, in regard to both surrogacy and adoption. I say this because I have very close people in my life who have experience with both of those situations, and I wouldn't say either has caused trauma. If anything, the complete opposite. I think there are so many nuances to both that can make the outcome go either way. I would be interested to hear from people who were born via surrogacy and how they feel it may have impacted them in life. I also feel that in most situations, adoption has a higher potential of negating trauma rather than causing it, if the child is being taken from a potentially harmful situation into a safe, loving one.

I’m so glad you’re talking about this. It’s common knowledge that babies who are given up for adoption at birth do have trauma from that separation with their birth mom even if they don’t remember the event. To me that makes it pretty clear that surrogacy creates trauma for everyone involved. Loving the podcast!

It’s not her babies when dna is the intended parent.. 😢 how sad for how it turned out

I absolutely loved this episode. I’m so proud of her for sharing her story💗💗

This ep is so great, I literally cried after listening to this. I’m a mother to 2 girls and I can’t imagine how traumatic it cause to the surro mum every single time when she thinks about the child.

You open my mind with this subject on instagram, everyone should know about!

As someone who has aura migraines and cannot have extra estrogen I really hope that they would go over something like that when discussing the side effects with you cuz it’s a common type of headache/migraine for women to have and many don’t know that those with aura migraines are at a risk of stroke when taking more estrogen!!! My mom (also has aura) was unaware of this until her 40s

Way to loud in the room for my liking after the birth. Quiet serene is more what we aim for in home birth. But each mom drives how things are done. Can't rate congrats

I’m a labor and delivery nurse and a lot of this is very unfortunate to hear. But it seems as if you also have a lot of misconceptions and don’t understand the reasoning on why we do certain things in the hospital

The monitors were probably slipping off while you were in the tub not getting a good reading, so they wanted the internal monitor to make their job easier.

This is a much needed conversation!

Was inspired to have my first home birth by you, and baby boy came here July 10th and it was miles better than my first birth at a hospital. Would never birth in a hospital again if at all possible.

I love the progression of hospital birth to homebirth to free birth❤❤

Y’all are the reason I had my home birth❤️ I posted mine on here to so I can always look back at it

Love hearing your story and seeing you grow in your journey over the years 🥰

Really good podcast!!!I was actually crying listening to that

Beautiful ❤

I'ma have to tell my mom about the red dots bc my mom has been freaking out thinking my little sister is sick

I did not want this video to be over! I loved it! Thank you so much for sharing, please keep doing so!
