GRWM: NEW HOUSE TOUR, HAIR LOSS, STARTING OUR FAMILY, BREAST REDUCTION

[@S7T8A8R7]

Congratulations on the house. About kids, you don't have to do anything you are not ready for. Whether you have kids or not, how old you will be when you start trying, and all that jazz. It's 100% your and your husband's choice. Don't let anyone pressure you into something you are not ready for.

[@indiabatson26]

You are just the absolute best 🥹💛💛 thank you for your kind and wise words

[@gabriellavideos2118]

Agree 💯 follow your heart I know that sounds cliche

[@cassiep5240]

Don’t let people rush you. Enjoy this time with your husband in your new house. Don’t let pressure from others steal this joy from you. And you don’t need children to be a family, you already have a beautiful family ❤

[@indiabatson26]

you are so incredibly kind

[@nhouse7962]

Coming from someone that had their first child at 19, ENJOY your time with your husband and the you time you can have whenever! I am always so supportive of those that say they don't want kids or want to wait, like good for you for realizing this! Congrats on your BEAUTIFUL home!!

[@ashtonwilkerson5330]

Congrats on the house! 🎉 Back in late 2020, we found out we were pregnant with our first. We weren’t planning, but we accepted the start of our family growth. In June 2021, she was stillborn six days before her due date. After that, we were adamant on having another and now our rainbow girl is 7 months old. Experiencing living motherhood now, we found out that each parent needs to be 100% ENTHUSIASTICALLY ready. I think the only reason we’ve survived postpartum is because of that. While parenthood is so rewarding, it’s also so demanding and such a life change. Until you both feel enthusiastically ready, enjoy your marriage as a family of two and the independence of a childfree life! 😊

Getting a breast reduction was the best thing I ever did for myself. I had mine 18 years ago and have never regretted it for a moment. It was a literal weight lifted off my shoulders, not to mention how much better they look with the lift. I knew adoption would be in my husband and my future, so I had my reduction at a young age. That being said, my husband and I were married for 11 years before adopting. I like that we had so many years together before adding kids. But for some, waiting that long can make the adjustment harder when kids come along. I grew up hearing my mom say she felt pressured into having kids right away and she wished that she had waited, so I allowed myself the time. Using onion juice as a pre-poo greatly reduced my shedding. It slows down the growth/shedding cycle. But like accutane, if you stop using it, the hairs that slowed down in shedding will then shed. Some people’s hair holds onto the onion smell even after shampooing and conditioning. I can smell it when my hair is wet, but once I apply stylers and dry my hair, I can’t smell it anymore.

[@audreawilson4334]

Congratulations! My mom had me at 41, I just turned 21 and realized when I’m around 28 my parents will be 70! The feeling of having to rush to hit life milestones so your parents can experience them with you is so difficult. I wish you peace and clarity amidst a world of pressure and uncertainty!

[@indiabatson26]

YES. thank you for understanding how I feel !!! I feel so understood in this moment actually. You are the best!

[@tedundercarriage8183]

amazing having your parents be elderly before you turn 30, that's really a magical feeling -_-

[@audreawilson4334]

@@indiabatson26 aw thank you!

[@laurielansue4131]

I have both sides of the coin as I'm younger than my guy. My mom was young (hello 21/22) when she had me. She was a grandma at 51. My child's other grandma was 74. I've always been the person who marches to their own drum. Nobody else is going to decide for me when I'm having kids, or if I can wear my side part or my skinny jeans, okay? Lol. I appreciate you sharing and the best of luck. You've made me really appreciate my wavy hair with your awesome guidance.

[@MissMoontree]

You really can't predict things in life. Some people die at 60, others 95.

[@kellygreen7911]

Hey girl. I was a very full dd and had a reduction to a b-c cup. BEST DECISION EVER! No more expensive bras to minimize and harness up the puppies and also the clothes you will be able to wear afterwards. LIFE CHANGING. no more shoulder, neck, back pain, indentions of the bra strap in ur shoulder, NOTHING! Best pain I ever felt. You won't regret it🙂 I wasn't able to have kids, so I can't speak on that aspect of it. I'm 44 and had mine at 30.

[@sierranicole217]

I was completely ready when we decided to start trying for our baby. During pregnancy, I definitely had periods where I was like " ohmygosh, who let me make this decision? What adult let this happen" (I was 30, definitely the adult 😬). And so many similar moments during those early months. Now she's 21 months, and all three of us have found our stride and it's truly beautiful. But my husband and I have been together since we were 19, and it took us alllll through our 20s to hit the point where we both felt like it was the right time. Your intuition is good 🩵

[@elizabethcarroll8526]

This!!! Except a 15-month old son, otherwise, exact same!!!

[@user-ic8wu9nv5b]

Omg me too! My husband and I knew we wanted to wait. At the time, we were married for 6 years and it wasnt until a few months after we bought our first house that we felt like we wanted to expand out family. My daughter is now 18 months old and Im 30. We deff. Felt pressure from family but Im so glad we waited until we felt ready. I agree your intuition never fails you.

[@alissalanden8176]

I'm the Gal that doesn't have kids and never wanted kids. Definitely felt the pressure from people always asking when and why. Do you! Congratulations on your new house!

[@franceskeller4536]

So proud of you and Daniel on the new house! That wood hutch and the island counter finish is GORGEOUS! I NEED THAT PANTRY. Your hair looks so beautiful! EvaNYC does need a gel! But hey, I totally understand the dryness you’re getting from accutane. I’ve never taken that but I also dealt with some dryness as well when I was on acne medication. Lastly, on the kids situation: please do not let anyone pressure you and Daniel into having kids! That decision is btwn you and him only! It’s nobody else’s business and I know that you’re smart enough to weigh the options/get advice from your doctor/obgyn. You’re already very well informed! Believe in yourself, you got this and God’s got you!

[@CheriJ11]

I had always pictured myself married by 25 and kids a few years after that. I’m in my ‘60’s (cringe) and never did get married. My children are the rescue fur babies in my life. I choose to believe that God knew what was best for me and I do my best to enjoy the life I have and be grateful for what I have. Do what God puts in your heart and when He puts it there. Good luck to you both!

[@dkb2375]

You are a great role model for not allowing society to pressure you with any decision from having babies, to breast feeding to breast reduction. You do what works for you!

[@kat1368]

Girl I love the kitchen and the pantry is amazing. Your hair experience sounds just like pregnancy and postpartum cycle. Thick and full during pregnancy and hair lost after. Trust it gets better, it’s just a crazy ride. Your hair is still pretty. You and Hubby will have them at your own time if and when you decide. Just enjoy each other, your home, and the fur babies.

[@ElizabethLopez-ve6lq]

Congratulations on the new house! Girl your kitchen is gorgeous! Enjoy it. Can’t wait to see your pantry organization.

[@chelseamcglamery13]

My understanding with the main reason people wait for breast reductions until after kids is because the glands required for milk production and lactation get cut so you are no longer able to breastfeed after a reduction. This may have improved with new surgical techniques and obviously ask your surgeon if you decide on surgery but that’s what I have heard as to why people often choose to wait! Thank you for being so open and honest!! You’re videos are encouraging to so many of us!! 😍🥰

[@HeatherGerhardt]

I just had a breast reduction and lift four weeks ago. I waited until after kids and nursing, which I don't regret, however, I was so big, 34F, that when my milk came in I was an H and literally my boob was twice the size of my babies heads. It was very difficult to breastfeed due to the size. Again, I don't regret it but girl, breastfeeding in public with a little blanket over you is NOT happening! 😂 I am recovering now, a 34C. It is a big decision and the recovery is long but so far I am glad I did it. I may be too close to really say but I tried on a spaghetti strap dress and almost cried. No bra. Words cannot explain.

[@lindawillis9460]

Hi India, CONGRATULATIONS on the new home! Take your time to enjoy moving in and setting everything up. I knew when I was very young that I did not want to have children. When I met my husband to be and things started to get serious, I made sure he knew that. For him coming from a family of 8 children plus being raised with a few cousins, he was the oldest so he was fine with that. As soon as we got married the questions started about when we were going to start a family and when I would say we were not having any, you could see that look, like what kind of people are we and then of course the statement, oh you'll change your mind which did not happen. ENJOY your life and set your own paths. Everything will come in good time as God knows the path he has for you both so don't stress. We are all here for you and enjoy you sharing your life and honesty with us! Thank you for all the great reviews!

[@LemonJMG]

I have loved watching you grow over the years! I feel like you are truly your own person and confident in the kind of woman you are and strive to be.

[@della9884]

I had externe hair loss due to iron deficiency and honestly what helped was not washing my hair for as long as possible, patience and not stressing about it. You look great anyways!💓

[@xoxo_ann]

I obvi don't know your cup size but if back pain is the sole reason you're considering a breast reduction, please know that other options might work too! Through strengthening my back and working on my posture with a specialized coach, my back has improved SO MUCH, and I have a G cup! Not trying to talk you out of it, but just wanted to share that you might be able to (partly) fix your issue without having to opt for surgery.

[@indiabatson26]

no i really appreciate this comment !!!! I am a G cup as well. And i have HORRIBLE posture. i need to work on it ......

[@VondaDriver]

I second this a posture doctor can be life changing! I didn’t know it was a thing until my pcp referred me to one for my back pain. I’ve been seeing him for a full year now and have never felt better.

[@saravelasco09]

Yes! I suggest getting a monthly or twice monthly massage before going for the surgery, girl! Surgery is so extreme!

[@raeraemillstone]

Same! I'm a 32 G.. engaging my core has really strengthened my back. I would love to see a posture dr

[@LGrothier]

Yes, this!!!! Physiotherapy helps so much, that would be worth a try first!

[@priscilla3499]

Giiiirrrl!!!! That kitchen is EVERYTHING and you don’t even have it setup yet, such a blessing! And that pantry 😍😍 wishing you and your husband many happy moments in that kitchen creating memories to last a lifetime! 🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@crawfyot]

Congrats on the new house it looks lovely and I wish you both many many happy years in it together. I think as you have just moved, which is very stressful, you should just take some time for you and Daniel, and the pups, to enjoy your new home for a while and then revisit the kids situation when you are more settled.

[@rubyjlove]

India! Congrats on your new house it’s beautiful! As a long time follower and a lactation consultant. Real talk -sister to sister, wait on the reduction til after kids. I work with many mamas that wish they would have waited, it breaks my heart for them not to have the opportunity. Of course do what you think will make you happy! It’s still possible to breastfeed with a reduction but you may not reach full milk supply. The longer it’s been since reduction (in years) the higher chance that you may be able to breastfeed. Still a 50/50 chance you may or may not. Trust me the pressure I’ve seen moms go through is ridiculous and experiencing myself. I am a huge proponent of doing whatever feeding method is going to work for you, even if it’s formula. I’m so thankful for formula. Happy healthy mom is better that a miserable struggling one. Anyways, enjoy your new home and being you! ❤

[@theromancediva]

Congratulations India! Having a house that your can share with your best friend and build a life together is truly a blessing! I often think of the people who can not afford a house of their own, or who don't even have a home to live in and it makes me more grateful for what i have. You and Daniel are a beautiful couple and should do things on your own terms! If you are not ready for kids, then don't have them! If you aren't ever ready for kids...that is fine too! It's your life and you make your own decisions.

[@debsheartfeltchannel1726]

Buying a house is a blessing. You are like me, such a thankful person from the heart! Thank God for it all, he will be with you throughout your life and raising your kids. Always give him the THANKS he deserves also 🙏❤️. You will be a happier person for it ❤️🙏💕

[@MinnieMousey06]

also if you're on Reddit, the sub r/Reduction is a really good resource for examples of before/afters of breast reductions and good surgeons. I'm personally planning on getting one before kids. depending on the kind you get, you'll still be able to breastfeed. do what makes you happy girl.

[@mackenzieroseb]

My curly hair is also super fine. I've been loving the verb curl line lately and specifically their volume spray. Their products make my hair a lot more voluminous!

[@jessicah2703]

This felt like coming over tea to catch up with a dear friend. Your attitude and honesty are so refreshing. Prayers for you and Daniel for wisdom and peace with difficult decisions such as having kids! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us ❤

[@ginamihailidis4444]

Had breast reduction (25 yrs ago)it was the best decision ever!My Doctor had specifically asked me "are you done with kids?If not it'll be a waste of your money because the result will change maybe even drastically post baby".I was done with childbaring so I went ahead and did it, tell you what those puppies are still up there!😉Sooo if you have the patience wait it out, it'll be worth it🥰

[@sloan_005]

Ditto! My back never hurt again after kissing my DD’s goodbye. 20 yrs later I’m still as perky as a 13 yr old and love it.

[@silvtorres3253]

Hi! I'm a rare KZbin commenter but this is something I've been passionate about for the last 20 years of my life. I just got a breast reduction 4 weeks ago and it was honestly the best thing I've done. I feel so much weight has been lifted off of me both physically and emotionally. I feel like I have the body that I was always meant to. I've looked forward to your videos because you're a fit woman like me with large breasts that aren't always proportional to our bodies. I appreciate all of your previous bra videos and honestly feel excited that you are considering a breast reduction! Many people don't understand the struggle of larger breasts. The conversation about breastfeeding is always interesting because with nature, there's always that 50/50 chance that you may not even be able to breastfeed with or without a procedure. I'm of the mindset to do what makes you feel happy in the present because too many of our decision are based on "what ifs" in the future. Lastly, the way procedures are done now are much more advanced than they were several years ago...These babies aren't going anywhere 😂 good luck to you! hope you get your clarity soon and congratulations on your home! Sorry, one last thing. If you have a breast reduction before children and things change, who says you can't get another one? 🙌

[@chrisanderson6330]

Don’t let people pressure you into starting something your aren’t ready for. This is your life and your choice. I had a family member try to pressure me into having kids but I’m like you cousin and didn’t want them. My husband and I have been married 32 years and we believe not having children is a blessing. It was best for us and the stuff we went through. It is a personal decision when and if you have kids. Wishing you well in your new house and adulting (deciding when to introduce kids into your family).

[@perfectlyimperfect7373]

Girl that pantry is fricking awesome!!! Major congrats on your new home.

[@annaschueler3687]

Breast reductions are amazing. When I was 21 I went from a 34I to a 34DD. Best thing I’ve ever done for my body

[@santanitaaa]

I have been feeling the same pressure of having babies. It's funny because I got married around the same time as you, and I feel like at first people said "take your time don't rush into having kids!" But now it's like... Apparently been enough time to where people question it. So I've been comparing myself to my parents who started young, my similarly aged friends who already have kids, and wondering if I should start trying earlier because I may run into complications. I finally had to sit down and be honest with myself and God about my feelings, that pressure, etc. And I felt like He spoke the word "wait". And at that moment I stopped comparing, feeling worried, that pressure lifted. So, I wish the same for you! That you find peace with where you're at and knowing that your life is beautiful and each season is full of love, life, purpose. Enjoy them for what they are. 🖤 P. S. I also love how supportive the girlies in this community are. That's so special, India! You fostered the environment for that love to thrive. 🥹

[@michellegianna4914]

Hi India! First of all, congratulations on your new beautiful home! Truly so happy for such a well deserving woman! I wanted you to know that for the longest time I have felt EXACTLY the same as you when it comes to kids. My husband and I were dating for 11 years before we got married and as soon as I got married I felt the pressure. We’ve been married for 6 years and I haven’t felt ready to have children nor did I think I wanted children anymore, but let me tell you…. GOD truly decides for you because that’s what happened to us! I found out I was pregnant over a month ago. And although at first I was filled with a lot of mixed emotions, I truly believe that God has given me this gift for a reason. Take your time and enjoy married life with just the 2 of you. And one day I am SURE when the time is right, you will be a great mom. All my love ❤

[@aliciagarcia1935]

Congratulations to you both on the house. Kids can come when you're both ready. When i had my babies, I never produced milk. My aunt told me not to feel bad. She was the same way. They were all bottle fed and are fine. 22, 18, and 17. I'm 50. Hugs and lots of love!

[@steph_e1818]

Always love listening to your videos! I do understand how you feel with everything moving at once. No, there is not ever a "perfect" time to have children. I believe it's more of a feeling between you and your partner. My husband and I have been married almost 8 years and we do not want to have children. It took a long time for family to understand. Even today I still feel the pressure to have children, but my husband and I know how we feel about the topic. I wish you peace as you move through this new chapter of your life, and don't forget to give yourself grace!

[@desireemichellee]

girl I missed you so much, I’m so glad you’re back and I am SO looking forward to more “new house” content in the future. you look beautiful and I love you beyond words. don’t allow the pressure of the world to control when it’s time for you to have children. that is for you, your husband, and, more importantly, God to decide. your mom already has granddogs!! 🐩🐩 I love you India.

I have similar hair texture as you so I understand the weighing down issues. I will have to try the Eva NYC product for sure! And I totally understand the pressure of having kids. Me being 31 going to be 32 and my husband and I are still trying to reach some goals before trying. I'm hoping in two years we can but again you never know what can come up health issue wise. I just have a feeling with how long iv been on birth control and not having a cycle for the past 10 years it might take us a while. Anyway, happy new year to you both and house warming wishes! Can't wait to see the whole thing soon! 🐱💗

[@karysevilla]

Congrats on the New house!!! That's amazing! 🙌🏻Regarding kids, I totally understand, about your mom and friends and all that, at the end, people can say whatever they want, but it's your and your husband's choice, because you are the ones that are going to be responsibles for the kids, responsibles for the money, for the education, so as a recommendation, take your time and think on you and your partner!

I appreciate your openness.

[@cassiareece4310]

I had a breast reduction curtesy of the army (I was 32HHH) at 23. I went down to DD and it was good, rip it wasn’t. First, they sewed me too tight and I bust my stitches open just lifting my arms above my head to detach the shower head! Secondly, I can no longer exclusively breast feed due to them cutting through so many milk ducts. Each baby has been a bit better but not where I wanted to be. This breaks me as breastfeeding is something I wanted to be able to do above anything as a mum. 😢 I say, wait if you plan on breast feeding. If not, go ahead as the back relief and confidence boost is amazing.

[@shir35303]

Thanks for sharing, India! Love your new house!!! I can share that I resonate a lot with your "is it time for children" talk. I just turned 30, and as a kid, I also adored young moms and thought I'd love to be one. I actually married my incredible husband that is also my highschool sweetheart (married only 2 years ago but non religious, so kids were considered an option much earlier). So we basically had everything "laid out" for us to have kids young, however we realize we actually don't feel it now, and we want to have a good reason to have them. I think our world is complex, and if we're going to introduce new souls into it we would like to make sure that we give them a really good life, that their parents are patient and loving towards them, can provide for them, and that we ourselves are still happy as a couple. For us, we just tell people who ask us "when are you having kids" that we currently just know that "now we don't". It might shift with time, but this is were we are at and we shouldn't apologize for that any more. I also feel you with your mom getting older, we both are the youngest in our families and so our folks are 65+! And still, we know that it's not a good reason for us, on its own, to have them. Kids deserves parents that wanted them and love them❤

[@Katrn30]

I didn’t do a breast reduction in my early 30s because I was also told to wait until after having kids. I had my only child at age 41, and for various reasons I couldn’t breast feed. Then life got crazy busy, and I didn’t have my reduction until I was 58. By this time I had 2 frozen shoulders, and permanent cervical damage…I waited too long. It was an incredibly hard surgery, and took 2 years to feel normal, but I finally feel free, and normal. Instead of H+, I now have small Ds and fit into clothing, and no longer have 10/10 pain. Because my reduction was so large, it was very difficult, but the pain reduction has made it worthwhile.

So very happy for you India! Congrats on the house. I do understand how emotional you are, its a dream being realized and you are thankful for such a blessing in your life, so cry away! Please try and not let others no matter how well meaning push you into motherhood, you have time. You and your husband will know when to start your family so draw support from one another when the subject comes up to early for you two. Have a special look, or mannerism you two agree on that says “I got you babe” its just so important you two pick the time. Breast reduction: Please research it thoroughly including breast feeding that it might change. Talk to other young and older women that have gone through the procedure over the last 10 years and hear what they liked and didn’t like or regretted. Just want you to be 100% sure and comfortable with your decision

I’m 35 with two baby girls. I was married for 5 years before 16:07 feeling the urge to have children. I come from a very similar background as yours and I also waited to be intimate with my husband. Enjoy your marriage until you and your husband feel is the right time for children. Additionally, I’m seriously considering getting a breast reduction due to extreme back pain. I inherited from my mother who tells me the pain would just continue to get worse. It would be cool if you could bring your friends and expert advice to your channel 😊. Congratulations on the house!

I am also the girl with the poofy hair, not in the wavy girl club, yet not in the curly care club. We have our own club. My mom also had me late in life (44),, I am also large chested (34G). Thank you for turning me on to Wacoal bras. I went to Soma forever and their bras were just not made with the same quality as Wacoal. Also thinking about a reduction because of back issues and also a fan of Eva 10 in 1. It reminds me so much of The Wizard by Amika but so much more affordable. Have kids when your ready. Don't let anyone pressure you. I am much older than you (52) and would adopt you if I could. Maybe you could be my niece lol. But the main I wanted to say, you ARE WORTHY!

Do the reduction ASAP. Best decision I ever made. Wish I had done it way sooner. Life Changing. I did it before kids because I wanted to be comfortable & "perky" or whatever while I was younger & be able to have fun with bathing suits & stuff. I figured after kids I wouldn't care as much as I did before them.

I’m 28 and my mom is 61 as well! My babe is going to be 1 soon and this is my moms first grand baby. I think as long as your moms healthy, there’s no rush to give her a grand baby before a certain time!

🙋🏻‍♀️ breast reduction 8 years ago AFTER kids and not because of the breastfeeding aspect (I did not breastfeed my second baby). I was a 32G before my reduction and I decided to wait until I was done because that is where I gain and hold weight and I'm assuming you're the same way. I knew every pregnancy could and most likely would be a different experience and weight gain is one of them. Before getting pregnant the first time I was a 32F so I went up a full size after my second was born. I worked my ass off leading up to my surgery to be the healthiest and strongest so recovery would be "easier" and I lost weight and inches everywhere but my breasts. With all that said it was the best decision, absolutely zero regrets. My life is forever changed, physically and MENTALLY! I am now a 32D which I was hoping leading up to surgery I'd be smaller but honestly I look so proportional! And bonus, I can buy bras anywhere now and they won't cost me an arm and a leg 😂 **One last thing I failed to mention! Just because you have a reduction does not mean they can't grow back! Waiting until after pregnancy (for me) made sense because I most likely wouldn't be gaining excessive weight in a short amount of time again. Fitness has become a huge part of my life and I'm praying my breasts never go back to what they were! I hope this helps at least one person reading. I'm open to answering any questions if anyone has any!

@@indiabatson26 you're very welcome! I am a huge advocate for the surgery if it is something anyone is contemplating even just a little bit. It truly is a life changer in so many ways!

[@xoxo_ann]

thanks for sharing this! I am in my early thirties and still contemplating.. I wish I had this done when I first wanted it (since I was 17....), but now my partner and I are thinking about starting a family so I've decided to wait and see what that does to my body :) Your post really confirmed what I was thinking!

[@AJD47]

@@xoxo_ann I'm glad I was some help! I wanted it done since high school as well but knew I had to be patient for a bit for it to be successful. Hopefully in the future the timing will align just right and you can start this journey!

You may have Covid hair loss (or Telogen Effluvium). My dermatologist says it’s a phenomenon right now. It is only temporary and lasts about 6 months. I have it as does my mom. Fortunately the shedding has slowed for us.

[@sunshineygirl123]

Hi was wondering what you wash your hair with?

[@sarahbollinger9317]

It’s true! You’ll never feel ready. Once you have your first tho.. then you will start to get that feeling a LOT. You will absolutely get baby fever. But it takes 9 months to have one so you will be plenty ready once you make that jump 😄 plus it’s exciting. Pull that goalie! Have a good time, you don’t need to try hard. & you never know when God will bless you with a baby. It might take awhile, it might be your first time. Either way after you get that positive you will be head over heels ❤️

[@jessicastott5160]

You go girl!! Woohoo 🎉 congrats to you and your husband. I think you will know when you are ready to have kids. I did. I think the saying goes more toward where you are in life rather than the internal feeling of being ready to become a mom. Enjoy your time as an independent because after children you will forever carry the worry and love for your dependents. The pressures and opinions only rev up after becoming a mom also which is challenging so enjoy your now. Sending love 💕 Also, what eyeliner do you use? It looks amazing and easy to apply.

[@hannahhood9953]

I feel you 10000% on the kids topic. I don’t feel like I’m ready for them, I don’t feel the desire yet when everyone else around me seems so excited and is getting pregnant. I’ll be married 3 years in March and feeling so much pressure. I just don’t feel it yet. Take your time.

[@deannafabian4375]

Great video! I’ve watched so much of your videos especially the ones about bras. Those were life savers. As for kids… Just know God is in control and has it all planned out according to His will.❤ My husband and I got married at 26 yrs old. I am now 33 yrs old and almost done nursing our third and last baby. Im now a 32DDD, 5’3 size 2… so my breasts just feel so disproportionate to my body. I’ve always had larger breast but when I got pregnant they were another level. The largest they got were a 34H during those first couple of months of nursing. I’ve thought about getting a breast reduction so much! Hugest thing for me is the sagginess of them. So I look forward to seeing how it goes for you!

[@Maria-dm6yk]

Congrats to you and your hubby on the new house! It is beautiful! Wishing many happy days and memories there. You look beautiful in this video, as always. It's correct that you never really feel 'ready to have kids, but they are a blessing for God, and I think you should embark on that journey in the next year :) You will make a great Mom!

[@jthom7057]

Too much dry shampoo can cause hair to shed also. Use more natural way like to get rid of oil in you hair with Corn Starch.

[@anitasings1]

So happy for you and your new home! I had a breast reduction after I had my children. For me, it was a great decision. I agree with other comments that having children should be when you and your husband are ready. Your mom is still young! The older I get, the more I know how true the statement is that says age is just a number! Best wishes! Do more hair videos with the thin hair products once you find all of your equipment! Hugs!

[@SocialBurrito3]

Have you had Covid? It absolutely destroyed my hair, I have a little more than half of the hair I had 5 months ago. I had to cut my hip length wavy hair to my shoulder blades myself, then will go to a pro for a shorter cut, just at the shoulders. I have to let my hair restart so it grows out more evenly if it does. Hope your hair gets back to normal soon!

[@CrownedLily]

Telogen Effluvium - excessive hair shedding. I had it after I had covid, and I totally feel you on wanting to cry every time you wash you hair. I didn't take any selfies for the longest time. If you don't feel ready for kids then you're not ready. Though out my relationship with my husband we have had pregnancy scares and that "Oh crap" moment is scary! And I thought how will I know when I am ready? I feel like when I was late by 9 days and cried when the test was negative - that's when I knew I was ready.

[@skylerpennock6439]

India! You look SO happy in the new house and I’m so happy for you! Try not to worry about the whole baby topic. I think there is an unfair expectation of women to have babies at a certain age or point in their life, and that shouldn’t be the case. You and Daniel should do whatever makes both of you happy❤

[@Risarae0579]

Congrats on the house, it’s beautiful! As for littles, we weren’t sure we wanted kids. We were intentional about listening to Gods voice only on this topic, and His timing (as always) was perfection! As for the hair primer…did you/would you use this with a separate curl cream? I’m always in search of that Goldilocks of fine hair pre-stylers!

[@dadeligtfuldazzlingderika33]

I 1000% can relate to you in having the pressure to have kids asap because of older parents. Both my parents are older than 60 and my dad has alzheimer's so i feel like i should be having kids now so he gets the chance to have grandchildren and so my kids can kniw him somewhat, but 28 feel way to soon to have kids for me. But then if i do have kids later in life then i feel the guilt of having to put them through what I'm going through with having older parents so young. Idk its such a tough spot to be in

Girl I feel you! So happy you are going through the same. I’m 28 and my bf and I have been living together for a while now and I always gets asked.. I also don’t feel ready at all, I love our live and that we can do whatever we want. A baby changes your life 360 and I’m just not ready. It also makes me think will I ever be?? I’m getting older..

[@shoszannah]

Girl, you have easyly 10 years to get pregnant and even more! 35 years mark is a buls***t lie, women had always had kids into their late 30 early 40! It's the business of frosting our eggs that started to spread this lie of 35. Ask around about your grandparents and their friends. As for being "old" parent... It all depends on how do you feel. Because you can have a kid at 40 and live to be 90 and independent, you can have a kid at 19 and die at 50. You can't predict life... So have kid when you feel like it, as a 28yo you should have ZERO pressure from time girl! Lots of love (I'm 34 and maybe I'll have kids or not, atm I'm having too much health problems, but I still have time) ❤️

[@sammimata]

I plan on having a reduction after kids too. We just had our first and oh my gosh- my back and shoulders have never hurt more😂 (but worth it) thank you for your honesty in all your videos! Love it ❤ congrats on the beautiful home!

girl. I got my IUD around the same time as you and I did not go on accutane, but my hair has been falling out as well. like I literally have a receding hairline. that was the straw the broke the camel’s back for me and I am getting my IUD removed.

[@s58786]

As a catholic who just got married back in Oct I definitely felt the pressure initially to try to have a baby asap . Of course my husband and I are open to babies asap - which was something that had to be agreed on before we got married in the church.

[@elizabethcasey3219]

I would never tell someone what to do, but just a piece of advice. If you want kids, don't wait too long. Things happen. Hubby and I were both 27 when we got married. We waited a year or so to start a family. It took 6 or 7 months to get pregnant. Then I ended up having a miscarriage. It took another year to get pregnant again. We were just about ready to start having some fertility testing done because it was taking a while. My first son was born when I was 31. I never went back on birth control, and it took four years to get pregnant again! My second son was born when I was 36. At age 35, they start calling it high risk pregnancy because more things can go wrong when you're older. Also, there was a world of difference between my two pregnancies. Being pregnant at 31 was fine. At 36, I was EXHAUSTED because I had a newborn and also a 5-year-old to care for. Originally, I wanted to have four kids, but we ran out of time. I wish we had met when we were younger and started our family sooner. Women seem to think they have forever to have kids, but there's a smaller window of time than you realize. Also, have a boob reduction post babies. Even if you don't breastfeed, pregnancy affects your body in many different ways. Good luck!
