I'm Back! Life Update, where I have been, my IVF miracles, Postnatal Depression & more

I am finally back after a break with a small catch up about where I have been and what has been going on.
My IVF donor egg miracles are growing strong and both super happy boys.

You're so beautiful! And compared to your older videos, I do see a change in you! Thank you so much, there's barely any videos by actual donor mums out there. It really helps to see your beautiful family. God bless! Hope you put up more updates!

[@AmandaDawn87]

Thank you, I have not uploaded in a long time. If I did, it would not include my boys, now aged 3 and 5 as its their choice if they are online or not now :) x

Thank you so much for not giving up. I love your Chanel and it’s helping me come to terms with the fact that I’ll need an egg donor to have kids. I have ovarian cancer at 23. Thank you for sharing your story ❤️

[@AmandaDawn87]

oh I'm so sorry for the struggle you have had, my heart goes out to you! xxx

[@amymcclelland310]

Great vid! Donor conceived children are nearly always thankful for the life they have been given. Tom had a baby with YOU. You are their mum. They love YOU❤

[@MiamiWorkersCenter]

Amanda….. I so appreciate all that you have shared. You have been a shining star in my journey…. such an inspiration in helping me understand and grow in this process. I discover your channel about a year ago. Thank you, God bless you and your family and please know you have made a difference, you do make a difference! 🤍✨

[@AmandaDawn87]

Thank you for such a lovely comment!! all the best :) x

I am so glad you didn't disappear from KZbin. I stumbled across your channel only recently. I am going through some big decisions with considering donor eggs. The light of hope you shine on this through your story and through showing us the incredible, precious bond you have with your gorgeous children, is so incredibly comforting and helpful. Thank YOU for continuing to share your story, it's making a huge difference in my life x

[@lesleyduffie1831]

Amanda, I watch your videos when I am feeling down and hopeless about my situation. Thank you for your hope and reassurance in a the form of a beautiful British accent. I can’t tell you how much you have helped me. ❤️‍🩹

[@AmandaDawn87]

oh you are more than welcome!!!! I really hope they help xxxx

[@flipflopsandbutterflies7673]

Aw Amanda! So lovely to see you ❤️ Please get well soon, fingers crossed you’ll be fighting fit by Christmas. So sorry to hear you’ve been unwell and has post natal depression. Also sorry to hear you didn’t get a lot of support from your friends when you most needed it. If only everyone could be just a little bit kinder to each other and help each other a bit more… how different would this world be if we could all look out for each other. Take care of you and great to see you back lovely xx ps we didn’t do egg donor treatment in the end, purely down to my age but we have made our peace with it and I would still encourage anyone thinking about it to please not leave it too late xx

[@AmandaDawn87]

Hello, thank you so much for your comment. I'm so glad you've found peace in your decision, that could not of been easy but I am glad you've made the right decision for yourselves ❤

[@amarie4967]

Thank you for staying. ❤ I just found out this week that my best and maybe only option to have children is through egg donation, and I’ve been very emotional about it. I found your videos, and you’re helping me through. Seeing you with your children shows me that a mom is a mom no matter how their children come into this world. I want to be a mom, so that’s who I’ve chosen to be. Thank you 🙏🏽 ❤

[@AmandaDawn87]

I am so sorry for your news, i adore my boys! aged 4 and almost 2 now and I adore them, mini me's in personality, lots of healing

[@tanyalynn2703]

Thank you so much for your videos. 💕 I'm so incredibly grateful. All the very best to you and your gorgeous family.

[@AmandaDawn87]

Thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@vickybarber1]

Hi lovely, so sorry to hear you have been through this but glad to hear you are feeling better. I had our little girl via donor 6 weeks ago. I would love to know the book you have been reading to your little ones? Also regarding that comment my husband always reminds me that you grew them bubba’s, kept them safe and delivered them into the world, they would not be the person they are or even be here without that! Xx

[@AmandaDawn87]

Hi lovely, thank you. I made a video about a year ago with the four story books we have on donor eggs and I give a litter over view of them, where to get them and my favourite. I'll do an updated one soon now he fully vocal and understanding them. Huge congratulations on your new addition!!! have a lovely 1st family Christmas xxxx

[@vickybarber1]

@@AmandaDawn87 fabulous I will take a look ❤️ Merry Christmas 🤶

[@dawnsaber9898]

I'm so sorry that you had to go through a hard time with post pardome depression and that you lost friends in the process. I have suffered from depression at times in my life and I know it's very difficult. It's so important to surround yourself with people who support you even if they don't totally uderstand what your going through. You are a strong and beautiful woman and I admire your strength to be able to share your story. Wishing you healing energy!

[@AmandaDawn87]

Thank you for sharing, I am still struggling but hopefully I will get there with time xx

[@kaylastockley7072]

[@AmandaDawn87]

Hi Kayla, oh thank you so much. I have alot more planned on ED Ixx

[@santropixie5140]

Congrats on opening your second studio! What an entrepreneurial bosslady! So sorry to hear you caught covid. My heart goes out to you and your family. Must be really difficult to self-isolate away from them. So happy that your little one has the curls you had hoped for. Also, haters gonna hate and be ignorant. I hope you can move past the pain from those comments and let go. It's not worth your precious bandwidth.

[@AmandaDawn87]

thank you so much. Back with the family now as my husband has covid too now. stay safe and take care. Merry Christmas xxx

[@AnahataraofLemuria]

I'm so happy to see you!! I hope you're feeling better by now!! (I think it's a month since this video? ) I just wanted to say, because I watched one of your videos on receiving donor eggs, I then started watching other videos. And now, my fiance and I have a beautiful baby boy, 5 months old, via a donor egg!!! He the most perfect baby!!! So I want to thank you so so so very much for making your story public!!! ❤️ you are an amazing woman and mother 🤗 I wish you well, and I can't wait to see more videos!! 😊 (I feel like I've gotten to know a part of you through all of this lol)

[@AmandaDawn87]

oh Victoria!! huge congratulations!!!! that makes me so happy!!! enjoy every second! time flies so fast!!!! xx

[@YinYang-CisPanPolyF]

hey hunny long time no see glad the bb’s are dandy and u and urs are well

[@AmandaDawn87]

Hi, this video was actually a year ago ha ha, how are you?

[@vianey7878]

Hi :) can i just say, I did start to follow u because I was struggling to conceive (still am) and watching all ur videos opened my eyes and let me see that using donor eggs was an option and all the beauty it comes with along with it giving us what we most want-a child. I was able to proceed with donor eggs and my husband and I now have frozen embryos that hopefully we will be able to transfer soon and start a family. Unfortunately things have been tough lately and we haven’t gotten to that but hopefully soon. People who say things like “I don’t know how I’d feel my husband having a child with someone else” don’t realize how those comments can hurt and how we don’t See it that way, to me using donor eggs, I don’t look at it as my Husband having a child with someone else, u get to carry the pregnancy and raise the child because the child is urs. 💕

[@AmandaDawn87]

that's the way I see it too. I hope circumstances allow you to continue your journey soon. All the best xxx
