I'm still pregnant & it’s a blessing

[@AmberCM23]

Hey Mil! I just found out I was pregnant yesterday!!! Praise the Lord!!! God is good!!! ❤️

[@GodisFaithful23]

Baby #3 was born 3/2 (on her due date shockingly) but I wasted so much time wishing her out and looking for “signs” of labor.. like 6-7 weeks no joke… I finally surrendered the last two weeks of my pregnancy and man was it freeing!! God bless y’all!! ❤

[@mariadenley2559]

Milena what a blessed season of waiting! I had two miscarriages around when you lost your sweet little girl, and then got pregnant very quickly after the second one just like you did. And then I ALSO experienced a subchorionic hemorrhage just like you did at the beginning of this pregnancy- but God keeps His promises and I am nearing the end of a healthy first trimester by His grace! We are praying for you and your sweet baby and for a safe and peaceful delivery - God’s timing is always perfect! ❤️

[@shaylin3515]

Wow. Milena, thank you for showing us how you can still be grateful even being past your due date. I feel like there’s so many people pushing it down your throat that you should be frustrated and over the whole pregnancy in the last week or two.

Watching this while waiting for labor to start, after my water broke last night! Thank you for this video, Milena. Your videos have been such a blessing to me🥰

[@iwillforeverpraisethee]

Hi Milena, thanks for the encouragement. I am 40 weeks + 2 days today. This is our 10th baby....some have been 5 days early and one was 8 days over. Like you said, due dates are just estimates. Focusing on resting in His timing. Much love to you! ❤ PS: I have been praying for no prodromal labour too! So draining! We use paper plates a few times a week. Add them to the burn pile or woodstove! 🔥

May the Lord be with you and hold your hand throughout the delivery of this baby and keep you safe! 🙏💕🕊🐣

[@Empireswithelk]

41w + 5d today and rewatching this! I’ve never gone this long and needed to hear it ❤

[@MrsAPeterson]

Due dates are guess dates, I had one come 2 weeks early and another late. While it was the longest wait of my life, but remembering how significant the number 40 is biblically helped me so much!!! I'm due with my third baby soon and planning another home birth. Good luck to you Milena. God bless!

[@genevieveruff8582]

I love that I can put your videos on and not have to stare at the screen ! I can just put my phone aside volume high and work on my home along side you !

[@sarahp3144]

Praying for you, thank you for updating us. I was “due” 3/18 but he came 3/13. It was a tough end of pregnancy and I feel for you. But God answered all my prayers for our vbac and I know He will do amazing work for you as well. Prayers for a beautiful birth for you.

So happy for what God continues to show you. I’m praying for you and baby!🫶🏽

So exciting. I don’t have instagram. God willing, I will be here when you do post another video after maternity leave. God bless you guys. Safe delivery. Happy days. ❤

[@Nixie_the_Pixie]

Such a beautiful perspective and reminder for all of us!

[@danaj1649]

NICU nurse for many years here....... all you overdue mamas PLEASE be careful. If you sense that anything is off or you"re not feeling quite right, PLEASE go get checked out. Overdue babies can also have many many problems. Not trying to scare anyone but please just pay attention to your mama instincts ❤❤❤❤❤

[@jessicaa.m.harper1727]

How overdue is cause for concern? My water broke when I was a week late to the day, and I had my daughter the next day. They had asked me on my due date (and I think even at 39 weeks?) if I wanted to be induced, but I felt okay waiting, so I did. Would you recommend an elective induction at the due date mark? Just asking for a potential second pregnancy. Also, my daughter is 4 months old today and healthy as can be! ❤

[@danaj1649]

@@jessicaa.m.harper1727 that's amazing congratulations on your baby! Most overdue moms will have absolutely NO problems. Over the years in labor and delivery and in children's hospitals, I have seen late term babies have low amniotic fluid, decreased function of the placenta, meconium aspiration is one of the most difficult problems I've seen. And of course a larger baby can lead to problems with delivery and the size of moms pelvis which makes for very difficult deliveries at times. These are just a few things I've witnessed over the years. Again most will have no issues at all and I dont want anyone to worry. I just wanted to make sure moms are informed. As long as you feel safe and your doctors say that baby looks great, then trust that. Always listen to your mommy instincts if baby doesn't feel as active or you feel unwell and just get checked out . ❤️❤️❤️

[@artsynahnah2658]

Mothers who go past their due dates are not inherently in danger. Due dates are estimate. The way obstetricians and the western medical system treats women during birth often cause complications. Forceps, vacuum, induction, all of these things go against our design. Statistics dont lie. The baby releases hormones when they are ready to be born. Due dates are estimations. 😊❤

[@karlimakrina2538]

I agree with this, I had an overdue baby and he ended up being a surprise 11 lbs! Somehow I had him naturally, but after the doctor started tugging on my placenta to come out, I started to hemorrhage and had to have an emergency surgery. I believe it was because the doctor was tugging on my placenta to come out instead of letting me birth it naturally as I did with my others. She nearly inverted my uterus. But I know this is rare

It's wild this is your video today as I am 39 weeks and 4 days pregnant and can relate to soooo many of your words. My daughter came at 39 weeks, and because my son is measuring on the bigger side, I've had contractions for weeks, I packed my hospital bag 3 weeks ago, etc. I too really thought he would have been here by now. I have also been in a perpetual cleaning state 😅. I am going to try to be more peaceful today and treasure my time with my daughter before we become a family of 4 ❤

I had a hard time letting go, to give birth, to not be pregnant anymore. All of her needs were met inside of me, and I felt like I was going to let her down when she was out. I was young, and I struggled mightily. God saw us through, and made me a better person so I could become a better mom. You've been through this stuff several times, and you're shining beautifully. Much Love and many blessings to you all, including your sweet pets. Have a blessed Resurrection Day.

[@valentinarevutskaya6545]

I went 41 weeks and 4 days before I had my baby and he is so healthy and smart and above average reaching his milestones. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with going over the due date.

[@francesholmes9486]

It’s really super normal, especially when moms aren’t routinely induced… I’ve noticed a lot of mama’s being told by doctors and nurses that they don’t like them to go a day over due and it causes mom stress. A stressed mom will have a harder time going into and being in labor. As long as mama and baby are healthy and no issues detected, there’s no reason to automatically be freaked out. My MIL went almost 2 weeks late with every one of her 10 healthy babies. My own was 1 week 1 day “overdue” after having 5 weeks of prodromal labor… ended up having a seamless unmedicated birth.

[@AdrianaWalton-g5k]

Mileina , despite the people mad that you deleted your old videos . I applaud you !! Remeber following Jesus will come with lots of " JUDGING " and peolle talking about you. I had that happened to me when i started following Jesus full force . I love seeing the change ive seen in you . Wheb I first started following you , i could kinda sense you were lukewarm and tangled in some vanity and consumerism. And the fruit ive seen in you is just wonderful . The Bible says we will know then by their fruit . And you have been lots of good fruit. I love seeing your change its encouraging and refreshing. Specially in a world where all KZbinrs and influencers are so worldly and sending bad messages to younger woman. I pray Jesus keeps blessing your platform and that Jesus keeps using you to show what Biblical woman is . Also i applaud you for getting your kids off social media . Although i miss seing them , its the best thing to do . The world is too evil . Im glad you are protecting their innocence and their privacy. Specially in a world wjere yourubers and influencers exploit their kids. May the Lord Jesus Christ keep you and protect you and your family and may you never back down , on living your faith for Jesus boldly even with people and their hate comments. Thank you my sister in Christ for encouraging me. Im a mother of five and wife and it's so refreshing seeing woman online living the faith in striving for . Blessings Mileina . May Jesus Christ king of kings bless you with a good healthy birth .❤

I’m around 29 weeks right now with my third baby (also home birth mama) and it’s so nice to see someone with a similar body style to my own, just blooming with life! I place a lot of value on how my body looks and feels so Sometimes I feel bad when I see these skinny ladies with little pregnant bellies😥 I’m not fat, but I definitely fill out and store a lot more during pregnancy, even though I workout and eat highly nutritiously the whole time😥 anyway, thank you for sharing your journey during this pregnancy!

Milena! Contractions are contractions honey, they most certainly are helping prepare your body for birth. So much so that come babys birthday, the process might be swifter than you imagine. I hope thays encouraging in some way, youre doing the right thing by keeping busy and staying somewhat active, do that during early labor aswell to keep your mind from interfering and surely it will be swift, peaceful, and the most rewarding thing to finally meet your new bebe. Youre so close! You look beautiful as ever, love seeing all the new furbabies and the older babies how much theyve grown 💖🥹

[@Allthingsbirth245]

Thank you for this reminder! I’m 34 weeks and already feeling so big and uncomfortable 🥴 people keep saying I’m big and like are you sure your due date it right? All the things people say to you in the end of pregnancy and it’s been getting me a little impatient so this was a really nice reminder to just be thankful and enjoy the last moments of your body just carrying and taking care of baby. I went ten days over with my daughter and also had prodromal labor so I’ve been really hopeful that it’s not that way this time around but I definitely need to work on surrendering. Hope you sweet baby comes when they are ready and your labor and birth is smooth. Also I have a question. What if anything have you done to prep for labor ? Any classes or books or stretches, exercises etc? Or are you feeling pretty well prepared from your previous births?
