BIRTH STORY: Natural Hospital Delivery, No Epidural, Postpartum Haemorrhage, Tuscany, Italy

Thank you for all your encouragement with this pregnancy. My baby is only a week old so I'm still very tired and recovering from surgery but I wanted to share an update with all of you who have been emailing and commenting wanting to know how the birth went.

Every day I get so many emails and comments asking why you can’t locate the music I use or find it using Shazam. I purchase music licenses for almost all the music you hear in my videos. I buy them them from various royalty-free production music sites and most of the time they don’t list the performer because it’s music made only for film productions with an audio watermark throughout the entire track, unless you purchase the single-use license for $50-100 per track. I use a lot of opera so often I’ll reference the opera but I won’t be able to direct you to a recording of that specific performance that you could stream or buy on iTunes or Spotify. Hope that clears things up and thank you for appreciating quality music.

Please Kylie... complain... raise hell. If not for you, then maybe for another woman in your place. Start up a patient advocate program. You were so strong for you and your baby, be proud of yourself! I am so happy that all was well in the end. Much love

[@majamladenovic3398]

Great idea ! In Serbia couple of female lawyers geathered to help women with the similar issues during the birth. What you describe here Kylie is violence and abuse, so definitely some lawyer should be involved. Very primitive hospital culture and very downputting, I feel so sorry for all the women who were in the situation to experience this kind of attitude. The problem is as much as in Serbia to change the conservative and abusive hospital culture that has been allowed to stay for decades. When you soon get over this traumatic experience dear Kylie, you may get currage and energy to do something about it for the good of all the future mothers and their safety at birth. Much love Maja

[@merizita]

I would never be as calm as you in that situation. Please complain! That's no ok! Being all alone without your husband and dealing with those bad nurses! I cannot imagine!!

Congratulacions 🎉for the babe❤, im happy, you are better, but im 100% agree with this coment, in fact that was a nightmare, how they treat you, Is the razon many woman can’t afford prívate clínic, decide to no have a family, cause a vulnerable woman alone in the hospital, Is not strong enough to defend herself, against, this monster nurses. Please Please, súbdito a complain, or demand. One more time im happy for your happyness, family Is at home, you are a new mum, and Is a new life.❤

I totally agree, please file a formal complaint. They do this because most of the mother just want to leave all that behind, but what that causes is that they continue to treat poor mother in labor in an environment in an inhumane way.

Your entire family has endured a trauma at the most vulnerable time in your life. Blessings

You need to share this raw and sincere video with hospital administrators. It is outrageous. You haven’t said a thing you should worry about (I’m a lawyer). Your sweet portrayal of this experience is so genuine and heart wrenching and will cause administrative staff concern. If not for yourself, do it for the women who are next admitted.

[@cynthiasboutiqueakron2511]

Great idea yet Will administrators see it? I am sure they have nasty people channeling complaints too. I cannot believe no one has formally complained before! Italian medical (Through the government?) I would think make it difficult to do much. Maybe the medical experience of many are also why so many young Italians are leaving??? I think a more immediate response may be for many of us, especially if you are Italian, to send in letters, emails of disappointment to administration. The more they get, the more embarrassed they may become. Of course only with Kyle's approval. Does Italy also have privatized hospital hours? Privatized staff? Also the fact that a husband cannot come in due to (post shot) covid is absurd!!! It would have helped Kyle (and nurse from hell) to have support in the pre-birthing room. Time to start a new hospital experience! USA has its medical issues but nothing I have encountered like this. No Monitor? Also fasting? How strange. Do they do "bleeding "also? Dark ages! Oh and Kyle I want the name of your shampoo!💇. Beautiful Hair!!

[@josieposie22]

Yes I feel Guido needs to make the complaint - sadly they will take it more seriously most likely. Then include this video as evidence. With a letter including a list of points as summary of the video that describes each incident of neglect and abuse.

Agree with Judith!

[@denisebusby]

Coming from a nurse, this experience was inexcusable. Take down names and report and sue. They need to find another career! We are here to serve women in their time of need and while women are vulnerable. Do not let this slide for your family sanity and the sanity and protection for future births. Sorry that this was your experience of your first birth, but your strength and the love you have for each other got you here to this point. Your little one is blessed with such strong loving parents. May you all be blessed with this wonderful time.

Hi Kylie, I am Italian and I know what goes on in hospitals, particularly in Calabria. I am astounded to hear that you were treated in this way in Tuscany where, typically, the hospitals are better managed. I agree with most of the comments and encourage you to lodge a formal complaint, given your profile and your reach. Not for revenge but for the fact that a woman giving birth needs compassion and care, not to be be subjected to cruelty. I am so happy to hear that Gianfranco is healthy and beautiful. Get better soon. Tanti auguri 💙

[@marygoldman167]

Kiley, I’m so sorry about what happened to you!!! How horrific!! Please don’t let that go! If u don’t report them, they will continue to treat people like that!!!! I’m so happy that you are so strong and positive ! Congratulations on your new baby!! Gid bless your new family!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Mabbi54]

No woman in labor should be left without support or treated with such cruelty. I pray you will receive all the support you need during this time of recovery, both physically and mentally. May all trauma be removed from your strong & precious heart. And welcome to the world little man! ❤

[@clairelivefreeordie2551]

At this point in the pandemic, it seems to me there would be no danger to allowing the father to be with his wife during the entirety of the patient's time in hospital? If anything, her husband would be there to comfort her thruout taking alot of work off the hospital's back. Granted, they allowed him in at the end but should've been allowed to be with her thruout.

[@juliaolivia398]

Those who we’re supposed to care for you failed utterly. They are not caregivers, they are uncaring and cruel. Thank God you and your precious baby are doing well now. As someone who was in the health profession for years and who has one daughter a doctor and the other a nurse, I encourage you to take action against those who were so cruel and the antithesis of a carding professional. They have no business being near a hospital much less a patient.

[@johannabaumgartner]

@@clairelivefreeordie2551 You are so right. My husband is the head of the general surgery at a University Clinic here in Germany. Of course in the meantime all patience can receive visitors and that is not limited anymore. Even during COVID my husband allowed - in difficult cases - family to be near their loved ones. It seems to me that it is just practical for these bad nurses not to have family and relatives around so that their incredible and unacceptable behavior can not be witnessed and that they can have it their way. I have never ever heard such a terrible report from a birth and it makes me furious. Kylie is incredible, but despite of everything I‘m so thankful that she went to a hospital as otherwise….I do not even want to think about it….

[@spencerpennington07]

Kylie, I know I’m echoing so many others here, but I’m so sorry for how traumatic and painful this experience was - physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually - you absolutely deserved better treatment, as did the other new mothers around you. As you said, though, thank God you were in that hospital (horrible though it was overall) so that you could be treated right away after giving birth. In addition to your husband, son, parents, sister, and so many others, there are hundreds of thousands of people around the world who are beyond grateful that you’re still with us. It sounds silly, but I think that, on some deeper level, your son knows the strength that his mother showed and the compassion that his father showed. I like to think that he’ll carry those things with him for the rest of his life. All of my love to you, Guido, and your precious new baby boy. Thank you, thank you, thank you for continuing to share your light with us. You are a lamp illuminating the darkness that so often makes up the realities of our world. You give us hope, warmth, tranquility, and joy when we need it most. Gianfranco is in for a wonderful adventure. ❤️

Oh Kylie, I am a maternity support worker in a hospital in the uk and I cannot believe what you had to go through. It is not ok and not acceptable; those women should be sacked. well done to you for being so strong, you are amazing. You listened to your body and had a beautiful birth. keep talking about it to everyone so you can process it. When you are strong again, you may need to put a formal complaint in. Here in the NHS we are over worked and understaffed but would never treat our mothers badly.

[@lucillegil5306]

Hi Kylie , I am an icu nurse from the Philippines and work in the US , I am so appalled how you were treated , I was in tears listening to this video it is such unnecessary cruelty in time of compassion , I am so sorry that you have to be subjected to such inhumane treatment I wish you should file complaints of such negligence and mistreatment. I am praying that you can recover quickly and with your husband and your parents you are in good hands. Godspeed Kylie❤️

[@NyreeAlana]

I live in Aotearoa (New Zealand) and I don't know why this is, but from my own experiences, Filipino nurses have been the nicest and most empathetic. We have a shortage of nurses here, so if you ever want to emigrate, you'll be welcome here! 😊

[@arianahoule7223]

Yes, please file a complaint. Otherwise, other women who are not strong like you, Kylie, may not be able to recover afterwards. The after-baby blues are a very real thing and you may help to prevent additional anguish. Recently, I had a very bad experience with a horrid doctor and her staff. I told my orthopedic surgeon about my experience and they are making sure all their doctors don't refer any patients to this doctor.

[@-angie.]

I agree that you should file a complaint. These nurses positively need to be reprimanded, or honestly in my opinion terminated. There is NO excuse for their behavior! I understand you just wanting to forget it all, but as someone else said, you would be advocating for future women that may have these same ladies. ☹ Sounds as if almost the entire hospital is awful. I'm so thankful that you and the baby are doing well now.

[@lucillegil5306]

@@NyreeAlana hello, I am so honored with your comments and I hear it all the time with my practice here in the US, I don’t know either it is just natural and normal to us to treat a patient with kindness and dignity no matter what their circumstances is , as we were thought that this person you are suppose to take care could be you one day or any of your loved ones and to give compassion to such an incredibly difficult situation is what she needed at that moment , I am not sure in Italy , we as healthcare professionals have license to lose and there is a disciplinary boards that is in charge to such employees. I hope Kylie would pursue such complaints to advocate to other patients that were treated inhumanely , this just not happened to her there were many who had no voice and if this is exposed… there will be changed the way these so called” professionals “ will treat their patients. Again, thank you.

[@NyreeAlana]

@@lucillegil5306 I hope she files a complaint too, I think Guido would help her with it if she needs the support. Personally I have been unable to complain when I have been mistreated by medical professionals (only 3 times), as it's mentally too overwhelming. I do feel guilty for not standing up for myself and other patients, but I also know that, with my mental illness, I have to prioritize my mental wellbeing.

I'm a father of 4 children all grown, but was at the birth of them all here in the US. The labor and delivery nurses were super professional and encouraging. They knew what to do well in advance of the doctor coming in and doing a cameo role. I would have lost my cool with this kind of treatment of my wife. I am so glad that they staunched the bleeding and you're alive and well. It's a miracle that you were able to continue to breast feed the baby while all this transpired. For my first child, my wife's back gave out and she couldn't produce milk. I'm in awe that you could do so while being in the hospital. BTW it's not that important that we see the baby.

I’m not sure how things progressed yet bc I am only 8mins in, but I had to pause it to say how sorry I am this happened. Restarting the video. I‘ll add more as I watch the rest. But, I’m so very happy you are back home now. ❤️ Ok, I made it to the end. I didn’t think it would get worse, but sadly it did. I am So very happy the actual birth was healthy and the baby is also very healthy. That is the most important. And that you are safe and home now. But my God Kylie, what you went through is absolutely heart breaking. I found myself getting enraged listening to how they treated you. I truly can’t believe how awful they were. What an absolute nightmare. All I could think is, how much mental trauma they’ve caused to you and other mothers as well, I am sure. You are so incredibly strong physically but even more so mentally. I’m not sure most women could have gone through what you did and made it out ok. And I know you will just get stronger and be able to move forward and be ok. Because you are so strong. But I wonder how many other Mothers are still dealing with the lingering mental strains of having that kind of treatment. I am rambling because I just can’t put into words how I am feeling right now. I think as soon as you’re feeling better, you and Guido should make a formal complaint. Don’t let this go. Because something needs to be done. It may help the next mother after you. If I lived there I swear I’d be down at that hospital raising hell on your behalf. And I’d have some words for those awful women. Praise God for the cleaning lady who helped you and the baby. And praise God you are such a phenomenal strong women. I’m sure that’s what got you through all that. I’m just so happy you made it through, and you and the baby are doing better and you are getting the care and love you need and deserve now at home. After all that, the rest of the weeks ahead will be a breeze! I’m just so proud of you Kylie. Your baby and Guido are so fortunate to have you.

I will start off by saying how happy I am for you and Guido and glad that you are back in the arms of your loved ones.........I would not let the hospital get away with everything that happened Kylie, this is 2022 not the 1800 hundreds......that fact that covid has subsided so much in Italy says nothing about their ridiculous rules...... it is disgraceful the way you were treated especially when you were in distress.........take lots of photos and make sure this doesn’t happen anyone else......again I’m so thrilled for you, love the babies name ..........Please relax as much as you can , enjoy these weeks with the little one and let Mom and Dad take over when they can...............❤❤ Donna In Toronto

As a mom I just cannot fathom how cruel, just so evil all those nurses were. How dare they behave in such a deplorable, cold, unsympathetic way at the most vulnerable time of a woman’s life. We should all complain ! They need to be dragged out. My heart hurt hearing this. 😢

[@debrap947]

I don't often comment but I had a similar incident with one nurse many decades ago when my son was born. No one deserves to be treated like that EVER! To be treated like that by such wicked people, nurses to boot! I am so sorry you had to go through such a nightmare for such a miraculous time in your life. Congratulations on the birth of your son. Great job Kylie, you will be a great Mom.

[@teresapowell5820]

First, Kylie, Congratulations! You are a warrior woman! Second, there is absolutely NO excuse for the way you were treated, to be isolated from your support system and then so cruelly bullied and gaslighted at every turn. Sadly, this tyranny is a feature and not a bug within the medical industrial complex, designed to push medical intervention. It’s all about power and money and it is an utter disgrace! So much respect to you for soldiering through an experience that many women would have fallen victim to. Perhaps you can be a vehicle to raise awareness and demand reform, because pregnancy and childbirth are not a disease but rather a spiritual and life changing experience that deserves to be holistically supported.

[@jamesneilsongrahamloveinth1301]

Yes, this is heart-breaking, horrifying - when one is powerless, to be slighted, to be disbelieved, to be abandoned is torture. Yet I am so glad, Kylie, that you have told your story - and in such a vivid way - because you have created a document of lasting importance. If this gets into the right hands, I believe it could influence nurse education (and hospital practice) generally . . .

[@joannadavis6716]

OMG, Kylie, I am so sorry that you have been through such a hard time. A formal complaint needs to be filed against these practitioners and this hospital. Thank God you survived. But the psychological trauma at the hands of these OB’s is unspeakable. The wonderful preparation you made for the babies birth and taking such good care of yourself and then this horrible hospital experience. God bless you and your family. Get recovered soon ❣️❤️❤️❤️🙏

Kylie as a lot of people have said before me, please consider filing a formal complaint to the hospital. Not for vengeance but for any other woman who has to go there and give birth. No one should ever be mistreated like you were! This is horrific to say the least. I can’t imagine going through such, both of my births were so easy compared what you described. To me it sounds like not only the verbal abuse but the trauma you endured caused your pain and discomfort. As a mother of two your baby needs burping after each feeding because they can’t get the air and gas out on their own until they are able to sit properly by themselves. It causes their lil tummies to contract and hurt. That woman is evil to say that to you. She knew it would be hurtful not only to your baby but would hurt you knowing you weren’t capable at first to do what needed to be done. Always follow your motherly instincts. You look beautiful and know how strong you are. I’m so happy for you an Guido and you chose a beautiful name. I’m sorry you had to go through such a awful experience with such hateful people. You are blessed beyond measure that your baby and you are healthy and healing! Sending you lots of love!

[@Highlands2030]

Absolutely! This is necessary to help prevent this horrific experience from happening to another patient, where the outcome could even be worse, as difficult as that is to imagine. I would also consider taking legal action. This matter needs to be escalated to the authorities in your community. What you described is absolute medical malpractice.

[@loloholmes2793]

100% AGREE!! All my babies were 'problem burpers' & all 3 had colic as well. What a horrible nurse to say such a ridiculous thing. They should definitely file a complaint. If that's Socialized Medicine I want no part of it.

[@butterfly-kb4cn]

@@loloholmes2793 oh yes, colic is so excruciating for babies. My second baby I couldn’t breast feed and back in mid 90’s we only had a small town Walmart. There weren’t as many types of bottles as today. My baby had colic bad and I had to go to using the Evenflo bottles with the bag inserts that you could squeeze all the air out. Also used Mylicon gas drops. In the evening between 5-8 pm was her window of colic. It was so heartbreaking. Thank goodness it didn’t last long for her.

[@kolaved]

Kylie, I can't believe that no one has commented on how absolutely GORGEOUS you look. You have the glow and fullness of a new Mother. You could leave your hair for another month and you would still be amazingly beautiful. And a big flowing of support to Guido also. It must have been very scary for him to see you whisked off to emergency treatment and have to take over being the stable strong support for your baby. Congratulations to both of you. You are a beautiful inspiration and we look forward to what is sure to be wonderful videos of your new family.

[@merillamuses6852]

Kylie, I'm so proud of you & crying watching this 💜 I'm a third year student British midwife and I am outraged & sickened to hear of your experience, even more so because I'm a new first time mama too with a five week old baby boy. (We had our baby moon in Florence in the spring, inspired by you). You are so incredibly strong & to have laboured under those bullish conditions, I have heard how medicalised Italy can be & I'm just so sorry you had people who didn't believe or trust in your body, but how strong in mind and body you are to trust yourself in spite of everything 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 You could talk to a doula or midwife and debrief your birth. Can't believe they still have those crazy COVID rules,,,, Wept when you mentioned the kindness of the nurse. I had my baby boy at home surrounded by my husband, parents and friends and midwives and truly could not have gotten through without their kindness, words and support (and the water from the pool). I kept thinking of all the women in the world who didn't have that support and it made me cry, my midwife had to keep reminding me not to focus on it. Kylie, you birthed your beautiful son and you should be so proud, may these early days and the months and years to come be filled with so much tenderness, nourishment and blessed moments. Prayers for healing, rest and peace over your new blooming family, well done super woman!! You are surrounded with beauty which truly brings rest and restoration for the soul, mind and body. So much love 💞

Dear Kylie, your child birth story touched me in a very primal level. I re-lived my experience of a child birth from over 30 years ago in Soviet Union. I guess, all women are connected in our universal sisterhood, especially in motherhood experiences, when we are the most vulnerable. Thank you, thank you for sharing your story! Please let your family take care complaints to a hospital, which I absolutely believe have to be done to protect other women from being treated this way, so you can focus on your little sunshine now ☀️ and can focus on counting your blessings! 😊 It is an amazing journey of motherhood, but you are already the best mommy to Gianfranco!

Thankfully you are an incredibly healthy and strong woman and were able to survive that nightmare. Be gentle with yourself as you continue to heal and get stronger after your postpartum ordeal. The breastfeeding will obviously also help your uterus to contract which is good.

Congratulations to you and Guido! My son had a big head also and I went all natural. I'm almost 70 now and so HAPPY to hear that they're a few young women having natural childbirths. Kudos to you!!! Lucky son.

Oh I am so so sorry for this experience. I work in a hospital in US and every birth is here a beautiful experience. We have the nicest and most compassionate nurses here. Hospitals compete here with each other to draw patients and thus provide the best care they can. Our rooms are equipped with jacuzzi and other amenities to help during labor and delivery. I would file up an official complaint so that other women would not have the same experience. Another problem is violation of confidentiality and disrespecting patients by gossiping and laughing in front of other patients. That is totally not acceptable. We would be fired right away id something like this happened here. Congratulations to you, beautiful mom ❤️

Id like to know what hospital you are in because I had horrible experiences with my first 2 kids. After that, I did my research and learned all about hospitals. They do tons of C sections for the money, most are not necessary.

[@marci7261]

Hospitals are rated negatively in the US based on the number of C-sections they do.

I've had four surgeries and numerous procedures and always had fantastic nurses and care. Bad nurses exist, but are more likely to be fired in the US.

Welcome to the world little man. Congratulations to you all. Special time for you now that you are home with your family and can fully recover. Perhaps when you are back to full strength you will realise that what you endured from those evil people is totally unacceptable. You survived their cruelty and abuse because of your incredible strength of character but not all women have your strength. If no-one ever reports such cruel treatment, they will continue to get away with it.

It is so great Gianfranco is healthy and has two wonderful parents and many grandparents. He will grow up surrounded by love, beauty and wonderful food. To be honest, I cried for you throughout the video. It is so sad that staff gaslight, bully and fail with their duty of care for you. I hope you can focus on the beautiful moments like when your baby was delivered with your husband supporting you. I appreciate you telling the story honestly with all the raw momments, especially as you are still recovering from a traumatic moment. Your truely amazing. Just my opinion, I would make a formal complaint about the care not provided, to be alone and calling for staff is so scary, I give you a big hug from AU.
