[@choco_is_late]

you guys are the cutest! 😩❤️

[@mitrakshibhattacharjee8170]

Congratulations Tina and Alfred.......My question is that when you held Lyla in your hand for the first time what was the first thing that came to your mind?

[@Baeomran]

I learned so much about the video! thank you so much

[@Darlahehe]

Do you use baby formula or on complete breastfeed

[@dishagolechha4082]

What about zayn ??

[@nnao7987]

Tina calling us lyla's aunties and uncles made me so happy 🥺 she's absolutely lovely, Tina.

[@drruby9245]

Can’t wait to see lyla more … my 3 year old watched along with me the whole birth video and was so happy coz we are expecting his lil sister in few weeks 🥰

[@tina_yong]

That is awesome!

[@somasrivastava5016]

Congratulations to u ❤️

[@khalilahd.]

Omg congrats!

[@somasrivastava5016]

[@prashnachhetri4426]

Congratulations 🎊

[@jessicawilson8240]

Fun fact - loads of people poop during labour and never even know about it. Midwives are used to seeing all sorts of mess during labour - they’ll just clean you up and carry on and more often than not they won’t tell you.

[@elisabetheide2376]

In Norway the whole experience from the day you get pregnant included the whole birth is completely free in the public health system. Also everything for you baby is also free until the child is 18. After that as adults we have a small sum paid each beginning calendar year and the rest of your health care and medications are covered for the rest of the year. The amount we pay before it's free is around 250 dollars us. We are quite privileged in this country...

[@simple_naildesigns]

That’s amazing!

[@Tricia_K]

Here in the UK, it's £0.00!!

[@saramcdougald2022]

when can i move in? america is ridiculous😭

[@Tricia_K]

@Sheree Boulton What do you mean, my friend?

[@lindsayjohnson6083]

Tina, I would like to thank you for all your transparency and how you’ve normalized this more in my life. As a young woman who wants children but has heard and seen terrible birthing stories in either movies or from people around me, this has given me a lot more confidence in my own body and the process itself. Thank you so much and congratulations on your beautiful baby! Wishing you three the best ❤️

[@Iera_Thaumaturgy]

I feel the same

[@_cottagecore_9835]

I love how you don't sugarcoat anything and answer honestly...the birth blog was so raw and real.. thank you for being so real about it. I hope you are doing well and giving proper rest to your body... P.S baby Lyla is sooo cute 😫 and you are glowing as well. Take care 😊

[@ajjax777]

I went into preterm labor days after your birth vlog and I didn’t think they were contractions until I remembered you!! I checked myself into the hospital and got to slow it down but honestly if it weren’t for your video I think my baby would’ve been here by now so thank you for sharing your special moment with us💕

[@tina_yong]

Aww congratulations! Hope you and baby are doing well ❤️

[@MariaT95211]

I am so happy to see you Tina! You look so radiant ! Little Layla is adorable and I am sure she keeps you guys up quite a lot. Hope you do get the chance to rest properly though. Can't wait to see more beautiful memories of your wonderful beautiful family of 3 😁

[@tina_yong]

Thank you so much!

[@listeslara]

I love that you say everything as it is. Be real about the pregnancy and birth. It hurts and no woman can say it doesn't. Before going to have C section I didn't had epidural cause I stopped at 3cm and when they gave me an epidural for operation I was like: I wanna sleep. I wanna rest. And the nurse was asking me question and I was still saying "I want to sleep" 🤣😅 but I would do everything the same again with the 2nd baby 💙💙 Love you watching and give a big kiss to beautiful little girl Lyla

[@riyak8899]

Hey Tina.. I must say our niece is very very cute.. May God keep her away from evil eyes and bless her with all the happiness in the world.. Lots of love from India..

[@sikejae]

Lyla doesn’t even know how many aunts & uncles she has! she has so much love for her already 🥲🥰🤍 we love her so much Tina!

[@floralundies]

I was astounded at how calm (well, relatively speaking lol) your birth vlog was - I'd love to hear more stories from your doula about how we can prepare to have non-traumatic birth journeys (as opposed to what we see in movies).

[@Song_about_a_girl]

I always thought a dula was kinda useless but seeing how Chantel helped you and your brief description of her services and how she helped you (and will continue for the next year), i feel this this is a really good option and i will be considering one when the time comes. This was especially eye opening as an aspiring nurse midwife. 💕

[@khalilahd.]

This is why I love your content! You’re always so honest and transparent about things people never really talk about so thank you 🙏🏽💛

[@RiteOn]

Of all the experiences we can have as humans, giving birth is the one that informs about just what an animal we are . . . how we are not able to control what mother nature has created. It is very educational and miraculous.

[@JYYB]

As the nurse told me “the baby is coming when you feel like you need to push a big poop out” 😂 she was so accurate. Both my grandma’s had 10 kids each and my mom had 5 all natural 😵 my first was a c-section and my second was a vbac I am 4 months now and I am leaning towards all natural…finger cross I can do it. 🙌🏻

[@fu_raha]

Yes you can and sending you all the good vibes!

[@JYYB]

@@fu_raha awe thank you!! 😊

[@Motherswatering]

Education is power!! You got this!

[@maybeanfan]

i love how tina is real and down to earth youtuber unlike how some vlog channels can get

[@ayeshasiddikamoni7296]

this is definitely again an honest QnA & that's what I love all about tina

[@AnaLuiza-kv2yf]

She is the cutest little angel 🥺 I’m so glad you had such a positive experience cause honestly, even thought I’ve never had a child, only seeing birth vlogs is usually kinda traumatic for me lol so thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us guys! Your family is the sweetest 💜

[@cornelia9309]

Off topic, but your makeup is SO pretty in this video. I've been staring at your eye makeup the whole time because it is SO gorgeous... please do your makeup like this more often!!!

[@MaggieMoxie]

Glad to hear that you are recovering well! I would love to see a “what’s in my hospital bag” type of video :)

[@Eijiiiiiiiiiii]

I really like how open-minded you are, which makes this video so educational. All the information and experience that you share can help those who are planning to have a baby. This is why I like watching your videos! Sending hugs to you and your family. Goodluck on your parenthood! Hoping to see more of baby Lyla ❤️✨

[@Baeomran]

You are my personal favourite Australian KZbinr! It has been now 8 years I have been following you ever since I lived in Sydney, Australia and now watching you from England, I am getting married soon! my partner is half English half Aussie it is interesting! I learned now a lot about labour and it is like being pregnant. I am going to be a good dad.

[@MARISHKALIS]

I'm so glad that you had a positive birthing experience, Tina. Our little niece is the cutest baby EVER! I'm so happy and excited to see her grow. 🥺❤ Much love from 🇲🇽 for your family!

[@justbeingsharayah9448]

I cried so much watching your birth vlog and i cried again now cuz i remembered everything that happened. It's like we were with you through the whole thing. Im so grateful for your generosity in sharing you life stories with us, especially the TMI ones, it's really helpful. Im not even having a baby, but I learned so much from this, especially in the mindset aspect. Love you guys so much! Thank you for giving us your time and doing all this, even with your sleeplessness, you could've been napping, but you took the time to get dolled up and record this video. Thank you so so so much for taking us with you. God bless your journey and family.

[@imuniquefangirl]

I know I want to experience giving birth and of course having a baby someday, but after watching hundreds of birth vlogs and hearing stories, I KNOW I'm nowhere near ready (emotionally or financially) for this big step in life :')

[@Official_Postachio]

She’s seriously so cute! 🥺 Glad your doing well after birth tina! ❤️

[@SueK2001]

I’m so happy your birth experience was so positive! Lyla is just so gorgeous. Alfred was so supportive and your doula was wonderful. Watching you do that final push in the water I felt like I was there with you lol. I wanted to do non-medicated as well but because I was a week and a half late the doctor gave me pitocin to kick start my labor. And unfortunately after 16 hours of hard labor with no real progress we had to do a c-section because my baby was in distress. The positive thing was my husband got to watch the surgery and truly appreciated everything I went through to bring our precious daughter into this world! ❤️

[@tsuk1moon]

I am crying because I am so happy for you guys!! I know you have heard it a lot already but deepest congratulations, you make a beautiful family♥️ i am so excited to see you grow as parents

[@ambergerhelper7852]

Alfred made me cry. The way he looked at you two- 🥹🥹🥹

[@jennyg229]

So happy for you both, Tina & Alfred :) Really very encouraging to see & hear these from you guys!! Thank you so much for sharing !!

[@SilkySlick]

Hey Tina! As an auntie, I love seeing videos like this. I'm not having kids, but watching this is like an education. I just want to know how I can support my friends and family members that are moms, and this video helps. And I'll be watching way more. I put this in the question area too but: What are things you would want/wish your friends and family members would do to make you feel supported as a mom? What are things you wish you received in a pregnancy care package? How could I support a laboring mom if I'm invited in that sacred room/space? I come from a big family and have a lot of cousins having kids. And if anyone happens to see this feel free to comment or inbox me even. I'm literally here to listen and learn because I'm not having kids. I haven't been there, so I don't know what it's REALLY like, you know what I mean? Just trying to be supportive and taking notes as the auntie on duty. Thanks everyone in advance for all suggestions and advice, I need all the help I can get on this.

[@AD-io3hd]

Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been watching your channel since I was a teen and rediscovered you again in my late 20s as I start thinking about starting a family, pregnancy, etc. I feel like your channel came to me at the perfect time in my life. Very grateful for your content and wishing you and your family all the best! ❤️

[@inaripumaleeks2312]

so happy for u guys she is beyond adorable and I cant wait to watch your parenting journey!

[@Iera_Thaumaturgy]

I remember my mom saying she just pushed me out not fully dilated as she didn’t care anymore, she had to get stitches, her story traumatized me from getting children, I really want to have 2 so I am glad I stumbled upon your video, it has comforted me that birth may not be as bad as it sounds like.

[@Smithy379]

Thank you Tina! You have cleared up so many things for me ❤️ we all really appreciate your honesty ❤️ congratulations 😘❤️

[@radostkudinova1017]

Tina is like the older sister you can ask for everything without having to worry. I'm no close to having a baby but thank you for that video, it's informative and useful. Thank you, stay strong and healthy all of you 💜💜💜

[@francesrowbottom7221]

Aww this is such a fun and lovely video! Thank you for sharing!! 💕 💕

[@shereelee5094]

Thank you Tina! I'm 39 weeks and 6 days as of today and this is so helpful. Biggest tip take away for me, don't give up and and when you think you can't do it anymore is when your the closest. Congratulations again on your beautiful baby. 😍

[@simple_naildesigns]

Congratulations 🥰

[@mirandapanda8228]

Congratulations!! And thank you. This was the most informative birth q&a I’ve seen. Xx

[@christinaparker3307]

I’m so glad you had an easy birth. Thanks for sharing everything with us. Love you all.

[@sarahrandomchannel7417]

Honestly your birth video was so beautiful and lovely, the whole vibe was amazing ❤️ congratulations

[@greentelyse]

You were blessed to not have the back labor pains and having a wonderful supportive husband. Makes a big difference!

[@ivyho9072]

Ur amazing Mama! Thanks so much for sharing with us future mums 🥰 Little Lyla is too cute bur plz continue to share her development with us

[@Marlodrama]

Oh im so happy for you three ❤️ thanks for sharing so much with us, you seem so ready to be a mom, the composure you have and sureness you exude is just so beautiful! Speaking of, I had to go back and watch that clip at 7:06 a couple times 🥲 such a sweet tender moment, I hope when I have a baby I have someone by my side like you had Alfred aww.

[@Aloyolo]

I'm currently 25 weeks pregnant and Tina makes me feel so calm and optimistic!! She made it seem so easy, such a strong woman! Thank you for sharing your experience with us ❤❤

[@simple_naildesigns]

Congratulations 🥰

[@rebekah.l.w8945]

I loved this so much it was so insightful. Thank you and congratulations to you both. Wishing you all the best in raising your lovely baby ❤

your make up game is always on point Tina! Congrats to you both!

[@taelivision7973]

Baby Lyla is too cutee. My heart cannot handle it 😭😭❤️❤️

[@BabyPlusMe]

I'm 7 weeks pregnant and your videos are my favorite! It makes me feel a lot more calm going in to what is ahead. Thanks you for sharing 😊 I am so excited for the doula video!! You look absolutely stunning by the way love your outfit.

[@simple_naildesigns]

Congratulations 🥰

[@anot7stanforever53]

I cried watching your birth video but seeing tht little bundle of joy in your hands, it's worth it isn't it Tina?🥺💜 Love you Lyla

[@cicilyly6027]

Lylah is so precious. You’re still glowing Tina!

[@TTSgirl]

I have never been pregnant before, and at this current moment I don't see it happening anytime soon, but if (or hopefully, when) it happens, I'll definitely revisit your videos for tips and ideas. Also, your makeup look in this video is the loveliest that I've ever seen! Can you share the products or how you do it?

[@fonjadidi]

It's so amazing what women are able to do! Ive always wanted a non medicated birth, hopefully next year! Trying to learn lots now so I don't have to cram it in only 9 months

[@Aabb....77]

Giving birth was a no go in my life plan but actually seeing these kind of positive pregnancy videos kinda makes me reconsider over again

[@hikkariemi]

Lyla is so cute, can't wait to see more about her

[@EdahelBrindille]

The price is crazy. Delivering should be free or at least a few hundreds at most. What do you do if you can't afford a few thousands ? Do you just deliver at home with all the risks that come with it ?

[@sophiajardine3894]

Congrats again!! My son is 30 years old now! But I still remember the first years as if it were yesterday. 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Just a suggestion.. if I may, take turns getting like 3 hours rest. So Alfred can look after Liala for 3 hours while you sleep after she has nursed. When you wake, he can get 3 hours while you nurse her and look after her. Wish I were there to help you.🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@tina_yong]

Thanks for the advice 😊

[@ceciwolfcat7]

Wonderful to see you and Lyla doing so well🥰

[@emiliabojakowska9958]

Congrats for you guys! I've watched your birth vlog with my sons (they didn't know whats going on, they are 9 and 21 months) and I can't get how women can be this strong! Like really! Guys you can give birth for few days! Tina you stayed so calm and stay at home for few hours! Both of my births were at hospital nearly from start, but I wasn't here for long (4 and 0,5h)... And I can say it was nothing compared to girls giving birth for 12,20 hours or 2-3 or more days! Women have some power, that I can't understand!

[@twesharoy5335]

This was such a great video. So nicely made and so informative

[@KeaneLuvr]

Fabulous video! I'm learning so much, thank you!

[@kassidi621]

We need a video about your experience with breastfeeding! What’s your routine? How do you tackle the day??

[@rempuiisangma8064]

So proud of you Tina...you're strong and I know you'll be a good mother

You two will be the greatest parents, can’t wait to see more of Lyla.

[@hannagutierrez3528]

So happy your birthing experience was a good one. My mom would tell me, "your body was made to do this." 🥰 Continued success and blessings for your little family.

[@yetundeolatunde1905]

I like that. "Your body was made to do this" its a strong affirmation.

[@hannagutierrez3528]

@@yetundeolatunde1905 Yes, I am the first girl after 5 brothers. My mom and Gma had 7 children each so it's in my blood. 😜 I had 4 positive natural births. A lot has to do with being mentally prepared. Comforting words to remember - "Your body was made to do this." ❤️

[@Acylacyl]

Thank you so much for sharing ❤️ this is super helpful and sweet

[@ceejayfranco]

Lyla so smol 😍. I wil definitely rewatch this videos of your pregnancy journey when I get to do mine haha this is educational. Btw, you look really beautiful, Tina. I love the eye makeup 😍

[@nellynlo7753]

Watching this made me feel like I gave birth yesterday, all the memories started to pop up in my mind. I really almost gave up pushing 😔 But I'm glad I did it! Kudos to us! 🤭🤭👏👏

Hey, sorry about the late response, Tina been very busy. love they way you answered these ive learnt to much form you. LOVE YOU AND LYLA

I love what you're wearing Tina, thank you for this insight. Can't wait to meet Lyla. Congratulations you two. Alfred looks like he's blending into the background hehe

[@ramisaahammed6417]

She's sooo adorable 😍 I hope little Lyla has a happy and healthy journey 💖 💗

[@user-ih9io6oy4g]

I’ve given birth to my 3 babies all naturally without any pain relief. My first I was 15 (too young ik). While I was in labour I just couldn’t bring myself to take any pain relief, not even the gas. I’m so proud of myself. It’s honestly so amazing what our bodies are capable of. Congrats again, Tina & Alfred. ❤️

[@solace1026]

Excited for you guys! Congratulations ❤️

[@harithasaishrieya172]

Waited for your video ✨ I watched your birth video I cried till the end. So happy for You and baby Lyla ✨

[@elizabethcheung8542]

I’m giving birth soon in a week or two. Watching your sharing has brought me a bit more courage when epidural is not a guaranteed option in the hospital I’m going to . Thanks Tina !

[@simple_naildesigns]

Congratulations 🥰

[@bokeefe]

Thank you so much for sharing your positive birth story ❤️

[@heartplacex]

I did hypnobirthing too with my first baby and I was so touched by your vlog that I definitely want to do it again. I'm due in November :) I had a lot more back pressure during birth it was super intense... I got some pain medication but it did NOTHING but made me sleepy. No epidural though. I think if I had stayed home after my water broke I could have avoided a lot of medical intervention. Also my room had a tub but my doctor sucked and didn't let me use it at all. ugh. This time I have midwives and they are so awesome and I'm excited. also IT DEFINITELY GETS BETTER!!!! Time just keeps passing and you will recover from the first few months, :)

[@kyleighbreanne9656]

I’m due in November as well!!

[@muchachitachinita]

I love how you call us unties and uncles so sweet of you. Thank you for sharing us your birth experience, i truly want to become a mom one day and I'm afraid of birth. Probably because of lack of knowledge i remember when i was a teen i thought it's painful down there that's why they scream but it's actually the labor contractions! Because of your vlog. I want to experience normal delivery birth also but i have things to consider still such as i have hemorrhoids, 8 inch Long surgery stitch from my raptured appendix so yeah. Childbearing and Birth is just so beautiful. ❤️

[@pi80.l98]

OMG she’s gorgeous!!!💗💗

[@aveaillium8754]

Girl, you look radiant and Layla looks like a tiny princess like she is. I am so happy for you guys.

[@chocochan8594]

Wow this is sooo empowering that you did it without the epidural! Thank you for sharing your experience!

We need a list of your resources because your research is really EXTENSIVE

[@suzansim8002]

Hi Tina, I’m a long time subscriber but think might be the first video that I’m commenting on. I am expecting our daughter in roughly a month and a half now and your videos have made me feel so much calmer about the process. You are always open and honest in your videos but hearing about your own experience and your thoughts help me prepare myself mentally. I just wanted to express my gratitude since I can see that having a newborn and making these videos at the same time cannot be easy. And congratulations on your birth!!

[@indigo1435]

I think you were very lucky you didn’t need intervention, a lot of women need it wether they like it or not. Plans don’t always go to plan. And yes painful is a word I’d not be ashamed to explain labour. I also think you look really happy and healthy.

[@TheSimmpleTruth]

Every birth, even for the same mom, is different and unique. There is no way to predict how it will be like.

[@ditadita6042]

So happy for you..welcome the new member cute Lyla🥰🥰

[@maddiej2165]

Hearing that the contractions can feel like period cramps gives me relief when I decide to have children as I don’t really have bad period cramps. I’ve felt more pain with terrible ear infections and teeth/gum pains when I got braces and dental surgery

[@SandeepKaur-iu3yn]

Thanks to share your experience and good luck for your future with your daughter.

[@cxaudioz]

i was just thinking about you and your video popped up🥺❤️Stay Blessed

[@GALAXIE262]

Wow I'm super early! Congrats tina and alfred!

[@lollove7815]

I have so many questions about postpartum care! Does it hurt down there ? What about when you want to poop after giving birth? Does it hurt ? Did you have to change your diet? And what over all postpartum advice would you give to new mommies? Postpartum plan? How did you feel mentally after giving birth? Postpartum depression scares me the most 😳

[@kayminimo7280]

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer our question! You’re the sweetest! But I have to know… where did you get your dress?! So pretty!
