TRIGGER WARNING? I don't really know if this needs a trigger warning because I don't go into much detail at all in this video but maybe traumatic birth isn't something you want anything to do with at all. If so, maybe skip out on this video.

Just the fact you’re here, in makeup, after having a traumatic birth experience is testament to what an amazing, strong woman you are. If you feel like sharing your birthing experience will help you process the trauma, I know many people here - myself included- would be interested to hear. I’m so happy to hear baby is happy and healthy, and you have great support from your husband and family. Wishing you love and healing. 💜💜💜💜

[@jackyohhhxo]

thank you! i think ill incorporate it into some sort of video. i just feel like these things should be talked about more. shes doing great from what i can tell! well minus the gassy thing but i guess thats just par for the course of being a baby unfortunately.

[@PinkOkraArts]

Just know you are not alone. Traumatic birth experiences are terribly common. Take whatever time you need. Use the gas drops, all it does is break the surface tension of the bubbles and makes them smaller and less painful. If you are formula feeding, switch to a formula for gassy babies. If you are breast feeding just give it some time.

[@jackyohhhxo]

yea, unfortunately i can see that from all the comments on this video and some messages on instagram. its sad that so many people have a beautiful memory like having a child associated with something super traumatic. and thats good to know about the gas drops! weve been trying out gripe water with her too since shes 2 weeks old now. i just feel bad seeing her obviously in pain. shes formula fed. the one we're using right now is for gassy babies. i think its works better than when she was on a normal one but shes still pretty gassy.

[@PinkOkraArts]

@@jackyohhhxo one of my twins was super gassy and I used to cry when he cried just because there was only so much I could do. Warm baths help them a little bit. Hugs to you!

[@MrSuperCustoms]

Oh Jacky I’m so sorry to hear about what you went through - complicated births are traumatic enough, and then to be in a healthcare system that doesn’t support you must be so scary. I hope you can find some peace and quiet and settle your heart, we’ll be here for you whenever you’re ready to come back ❤

[@jackyohhhxo]

thank you for your sweet words! the whole thing was just really scary. im happy im feeling a little better now though.

[@HALICrafts]

Hello my friend, I am so sorry my friend that you have gone through so much, I hope that you feel good, Jacky your such a strong person and many congratulations on your beautiful daughter, she's soo adorable, She had such a strong motherr. Love you my friend 💟❤💌

[@jackyohhhxo]

thank you!

[@aquadraco20]

As a mom, it is so incredibly important to share these stories like this- birth can absolutely be traumatic and dangerous. The more it's talked about, the more pressure we put on doctors to prevent situations like this from happening. I'm so sorry you went through that, and you deserve so much better. I'm so grateful that your baby is here. This whole video I was worried if something had happened to her, but I'm happy she's healthy and you are able to be with her. Dont feel ashamed or uncomfortable talking about this or taking time off. Birth, even when things go right, is exhausting and painful, and taking care of a newborn is time consuming and nerve wracking! I want to say that I'm so proud of you. Rely on your family, and tell them how you're feeling. I firmly believe that taking care of a "normal", healthy baby is at least a 2 person job. That's why they need to be fed every 2 hours, but an adult needs at least 4 hours of sleep to function. You're not supposed to go it alone. As for gas, I'm sure you already know, but those bicycle kicks and moving their legs closer to their chest helps. Just moving their body helps the digestive system do its job. You're going to be an amazing mom, because you're already an amazing person. Take all the time you need to be there for your little girl. ❤❤❤

[@jackyohhhxo]

yea,i feel like id always heard.about crappy postpartum care prior to being pregnant but you dont quite know how bad it is until you're going through it. yea my bad. i should have mentioned she was fine earlier in the video because quite a few people thought something bad happened to her. but shes doing good from what i can tell. getting chunkier by the day haha. i think at first i was so freaked out caring for her. like just totally out of my element because while ive been around babies newborns are just so small. im way more comfortable now though. and thank you for all your kind words! ive definitely been relying on my family more and theyve really been supportive. my husband and i developed a good schedule for feeding so we both get about 5ish hours of sleep.weve been doing the bike kicks, theres a couple other moves ive seen online that i wanna start doing with her.

[@ChessAndSunflowers]

Oh, my goodness! First of all, congratulations! Your daughter is beautiful and so freaking cute. I'm so sorry that you went through such a traumatic experience. There is nothing wrong with being optimistic and thinking the best of a situation, and it's totally okay to vent and rant and let things out. Take all the time you need to care for yourself and your family. You are so relatable and fun and I love you so much. Your videos have helped me through some horrible anxiety and depression that I have had, and I still haven't seen every single one. So, definitely take care of yourself and do what you need to do to heal and be happy! We will be here when you come back, love!

[@jackyohhhxo]

thank you!! unfortunately i think this whole experience made me a little more realistic about things.like you hear about crappy experiences and assume they can't happen to you but they can. im really happy my videos could help you through things you were going through. really, that makes me very happy. hopefully ill be back soon

[@celestegrey]

I’m here for anything you want to post ❤ congrats on the new baby and I hope you get lots of rest and recovery You deserve it!!

[@jackyohhhxo]

thank you for being here! and thank you

[@xxkairixxchan]

I was so scared that this was going somewhere else with your daughters fate. I am so glad that both of you are here! Please please please take the time you need. We will all be ok. YOU and your family need to be ok, too. Sending so much love your way!!! Ps-I'm the doll artist and fanatic in the family, but my sister always freaks out when you update bc your faceup are her favorite. You have a very similar aesthetic to her. I hope that cheers you up, even a little!

[@jackyohhhxo]

yea a couple people were worried about her unfortunately but she seems to be thriving aside from the gas thing. definitely hope to get back to dolls soon because they make me genuinely happy but i know i have to get on a routine with her first. aww well im really happy your sister likes my faceups! theyre my fav part of customizing :D

[@magg314k]

I like dolls, make dolls and also have a traumatic birth story. I have ptsd from it. I sympathize and relate with you so much. All my love and support ❤ your daughter is gorgeous!

[@jackyohhhxo]

im sorry you also had a bad time giving birth. its awful how common it is. thank you!!

[@sidequestjess]

I'm so sorry about the trauma and pain you had to endure, my heart breaks for you. Thanks for being open and vulnerable and sharing your experience. I'm not a mother myself but I know the topic of postpartum care and recovery are unfortunately glossed over. So I hope your message can reach someone who needs to hear it. Congratulations on your new daughter and I hope you continue to heal both physically and mentally. Get some rest Mama. I'll be looking forward to whenever you return to making dolls but please take all the time you need. And yes I encourage you to process your experience through making art if that will help you. You might find some comfort. Much love❤❤❤

[@jackyohhhxo]

thank you for your sweet comment. yea, its bizarre how awful post partum care can be. like i feel like i always heard about it being awful before being pregnant but you just assume thats not going to happen to you. definitely hope to find some time to work on dolls at some point in the near future

[@gracewademoser1250]

I had traumatic birth experiences with both my pregnancies. I also almost died with my daughter and have PTSD and a service dog now. I also had postpartum depression and anxiety with both. You are not alone. It does get better but professional help is useful if not needed. I wish you the best and hope you get the help you need. You are worth it and so so needed and wanted.

[@jackyohhhxo]

im sorry you also went through something awful. im currently getting therapy about the whole thing. i had a bit of a mental breakdown while at the hospital so they kind of assigned a therapist to me heh.

[@brianahawkins8124]

Oh gosh Jacky Congratulations however I'm so sorry of your experience, I mean if I or a friend of my ever get that kind of trauma experience all I can say I'm so sorry you had to go through with that. It's ok to let things out, get it out of your chest. Take as much time off you need. Your baby is beautiful, again take as many time off to recover. See you then.

[@jackyohhhxo]

thank you! yea, im definitely going to take my time but hopefully i can get back to dolls soon

[@StormingViperX]

I'm sorry to hear about the trauma you experienced, Jacky. Just know that this channel is whatever YOU want it to be, we're here for your content regardless. In regard to sharing the details of what happened, that may prove cathartic for you to get it out and have us here to offer you words of support and love. But whatever you decide, I hope you take care until we see you again!

[@jackyohhhxo]

thank you!! i def think im going to make a video about the whole thing.

[@TheDollFairy]

I'm so sorry your birth experience was so difficult and so traumatic! As others have said, the fact that you made this video and are doing your best to work through your pain and trauma by speaking about it shows that you are incredibly resilient and that is amazing. Congratulations on having a healthy baby and I hope that you are able to enjoy the start of motherhood even though you were not able to enjoy the process of giving birth the way you would have liked. Please be kind and super generous to yourself during this time, and take all the time you need to rest and work through your feelings. When you feel ready to talk about it, and if you feel like sharing it with us will help you to heal, we will be all ears! Sending so much love and hugs ❤❤❤

[@jackyohhhxo]

thank you for such kind words

[@Susika]

Oh Jacky, I am so sorry 😢 please rest when you can and focus on the joyous moments with your beautiful baby daughter ❤

Traumatic births are so much more common than we think. Congrats on your sweet baby!

[@jackyohhhxo]

yea, ive gathered that from comments on this video and some insta messages ive gotten. its so very very sad. thank you!!

[@Enchanterium]

Thanks for the update about your channel, you didn't have to do it but you put a gorgeous make up on and you filmed it, and that's something amazing after giving a traumatic birth. I'm sorry that it happened to you but we're glad that you are here with us and that your baby is healthy! Stay strong and see you around with new projects whenever you feel ready! ❤

[@jackyohhhxo]

thank you for watching! yea, honestly definitely havent been wearing alot of makeup lately lol but it was nice to feel more myself when filming this. shes doing great i think. still gassy lol but that just seems to be part of being a baby. definitely hoping to work on dolls atleast a little bit in the near future!

[@lindsaymcmuffin]

Your channel might not "be about this" but it IS about you, and your art. Thank you for sharing this with us, I hope it lessened your pain, at least a little. You're so right about America and post partum care.

[@jackyohhhxo]

thank you for watching! i think it felt good to get a video up explaining that something happened. ill probably make another vid/repaint explaining what happened in more detail.

[@TeenyTinkers]

Oh my gosh Jacky ❤ I understand how traumatic birth can be. I’m so sorry the experience was so hard for you 💔 sending infinite love and well wishes to you and your new baby ❤️❤️❤️ take all the time you need. Hormones are actually insane. It gets better.

[@jackyohhhxo]

thank you! i feel so silly how unprepared i was. yea, i dont think we comprehend how intense hormones can be until were going through it. like literally was crying everyday for a minute there. im feeling a bit better now fortunately.

[@daydreamersally5073]

Do not apologize for being a human being! You're amazing, wonderful, beautiful, and so so so strong. Getting some of those emotions out and being so real about what happened to you might actually help you, even if it's a tiny bit. I'm so thankful you told us as your viewers when you didn't even have to. I feel like you are a friend from afar and I'm sending you so much love and hugs. You take care of you and your life. Love you wonderful! ❤

[@jackyohhhxo]

thank you! yea im definitely thinking of filming a video about the whole thing. your words are so kind, thank you really

[@antoinettebyrne6012]

Not only are your hormones all over the place but your body and mind have been through a traumatic experience...a life changing one...and now you have to after all that take responsibility for a brand new human...its normal to not be OK right now. And that can last a long time. So take any and all help you can get hon and take it easier on yourself . People don't talk enough about how scary painful and traumatic it can be because we don't want to scare anyone who's pregnant...but its the hardest thing iv ever done and I got post natal depression too so watch out for that one in the months to come. It's hugely minimised in society I think how difficult it really is. And mom's who seem to have it all sussed out are either bullshitting or just very very lucky and didn't have as rough a time as you did...like they won the Labour lottery or something. My advice take your time, take it easy on yourself and take every offer of help xxx It will get better so don't pressure yourself to be OK when you don't feel OK.

[@jackyohhhxo]

yea the entire thing is incredibly overwhelming. we're getting into a routine now though so thats nice. i definitely think people dont talk about how bad birth can be because they still want people to procreate. im not sure if some people still would if they knew all the details heh. im trying to take it easy on myself but its hard because i just dont typically do that.

[@DragonXVI]

Congratulations on the birth of your daughter! Hold on to all of the positives from the experience!!

[@jackyohhhxo]

thank you! definitely trying to

[@amaeve1950]

I am so sorry for what you have gone through. Birth trauma is a very real thing, and as you say, people just don't talk about it enough. Take time for yourself to heal. You are worthy. Your daughter is beautiful. ❤❤❤

[@jackyohhhxo]

thank you. yea its a pretty horrific thing to go through. my daughter made it worth it but wow, never again.

[@Lacmene8]

im not a parent but i have stumbled upon a video on how to relieve baby gas by basically having them do bicycle kicks, i tried it on my cat while joking around with my wife and he farted so it at least works on cats (i think the video was just called "how to relieve baby gas3 so i don't think it's super findable)

[@jackyohhhxo]

....genuinely had no idea cats fart lol. we've done the bike kicks, i think they do help a bit.

[@sarahlevine776]

I hope the pain wears off soon. I glad that your baby is okay and that you lived through that.

[@jackyohhhxo]

thank you!

[@RavensMinis]

First of all: don't be sorry for how you feel. Your feelings are valid. Only time will heal this experience. And cuddles, lots of them. Sleep when baby is sleeping and go with your gut feeling, that's most of the times the best you can do, regardless of what everyone might say. Also: a messy home is a happy home, at least for us it is.

[@jackyohhhxo]

thank you! im trying to be kind to myself. oh weve def been cuddling heh literally cuddling her while typing this. if a messy home is a happy home then my house is super happy haha

[@RavensMinis]

@jackyohhhxo keep it that way! You and bubba first, girl. The dishes and dustbunnies can wait ❤️

I am so glad you survived. I agree, post-partem care in the USA is horrible, and has been getting worse. I hope your spouse and other family and friends are able to give you the support you need. Congratulations on BabyOhhh, and please put your health before this channel

[@TheCraftyAtelier]

I am so sorry for your experience. Having an optimistic outlook is good to have to be honest, it's just the really bad system we have in place for postpartum etc. Take all the time you need. And a doll that tells of your experience is up to you and from my own experiences, it was better to talk about things than to keep things quiet, like it is something to be ashamed about. Anything at anytime you put out, your fans will support you!! Don't forget to spend this time with your new daughter and husband with just being parents. Dolls will always be there when you are ready. Much love!💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@jackyohhhxo]

unfortunately i think this entire situation made me a little less optimistic about things because i guess they can go very very wrong. im thinking of making a doll/birth story video. hopefully itll make me feel better about the whole thing. shes been pretty all consuming lately. not in a bad way, its nice getting all the cuddles in since im pretty sure this will be my only baby.

[@ChevyLadyMakeupZ72]

I remember when my sister was giving birth to my fraternal twin nephews she almost died you don’t hear too many stories like yours or hers so thank you for speaking up and being as strong as you’re is so inspiring.

[@jackyohhhxo]

oh wow. im sorry your sister also went through something traumatic. thank you for watching!

[@angelbookwalter832]

Jacky, my first birth was very traumatic, so I completely understand. However, congratulations on your daughter! She is absolutely beautiful! Keep being optimistic...and there's no shame in reveling in your motherhood. There is no greater gift on this planet. Family first and enjoy the moments...it goes by way too fast. I know our 6 children are now having kids, and we are expecting our 8th grandchild. Stay beautiful and keep your spirit up.

[@jackyohhhxo]

im sorry you also had a traumatic birth. they seem all too common. thank you! im a bit less optimistic with this whole thing but hopefully i can return to being my typical self soon. wow, congrats on the grandchild! thats very exciting!

[@kristencollins521]

In 2005 I gave birth to my son. It was horrific. I went from everything is fine to HOLY SHIT EVERYONE IS GONNA DIE and I was knocked out for a crash C-section. I didn’t see my son for almost 24 hours. I nearly died. I struggled for years with horrific post partum depression and it ruined my life because no one would help me. I was drowning. No one understood what I was going through. I got through it. It was hard. But what I can say is that with proper support and good care( therapy to process) you can over come this. I look back now and there is still anger but I can find the sweet moments( and there are those) Congrats on your baby girl. But also, take it slow and make sure to feel all these feels and to process.

[@jackyohhhxo]

im so sorry. yea its weird when youre going through it because while i was at the hospital i would talk to mothers there and they'd be like youre fine youre fineee. but i didnt feel fine mentally or physically. i think alot of peoples experiences are different so some people assume because they had a smooth delivery and recovery that yours should be as well. im currently in therapy for the whole thing. hopefully it helps. ive definitely been kinder to myself with this whole thing. its taught me that atleast.thank you!

[@izzysauls7737]

Congratulations! I know traumatic birth is common but it’s still a rough experience to go through for anybody. Your fans and supporters are sending good vibes your way!!! Thank you for being amazing

Hi Jacky, I'm so sorry to hear about your experience but I'm glad to hear that the baby is healthy and doing well. I hope you feel better soon, but please take all the time you need to heal. I've actually been subbed from back when the channel was focused on makeup although I don't watch the doll content much (just not into dolls). I'm down for whatever you are comfortable sharing about your birth experience or your life in general really. All the best to you and your family.

[@jackyohhhxo]

We're not going anywhere and your health and well-being should be the top priority! PS: Apparently baby gas can be caused by the fact that they don't move a whole lot yet, and moving them in a certain way helps all the gas come out? I've seen some videos about it, maybe that would help❤

I think birth overall is overhyped to be super magical, but it's like... You're pushing out a human, through a tiny hole!! That in itself is a real achievement! I'm so glad you're both ok! No need to act like everything is normal. Take your time to heal, as well as adjust to your new life.

[@jackyohhhxo]

yea its definitely not magical lol i feel like best case scenario for giving birth is your vagina doesnt rip heh. im definitely doing better than i was when i filmed this and the baby is still gassy lol but doing well i think. hahaha maybe ill make a pregnant/midge barbie lol

[@BlurredColors]

Hey Jacky, I feel so lame for having not seen any of your recent videos. Especially this one. This last year has been such shit overall and I've missed so much in the doll community and with my friends. I had something similar with my first birth experience. I vented a lot online about it, mostly journaling, and it really did help a lot. You're so right about how crappy postpartum care in the US is and we are expected to just "bounce back" like nothing happened. It's even worse when other women gaslight you saying that you shouldn't be tired or in pain after a traumatic birth experience. This is what my ML did and she even went as far to argue with the DRs advocating for me saying it was "beautiful and I was fine". It was none of those things and I also almost died, with my son ending up in the NICU for 3 weeks. It was a mess. I know this video is 9 months old, but that is still recent for something like this. It took me a few years to process what happened with my son's birth. He's 11 now and I still have regrets about it and feel like I failed him in some way. It does help that he has no memories of it at least. If it gives you any hope at all though, my other two births were easy and much safer. I moved states (My son was born in Louisiana) and went to much better DRs for the other two. If you ever do decide you want another kid, I'd definitely recommend not going with the same Dr that assisted your first. Little things matter during labor and the effects stack up. I hope you are healing ok at this time. And know that it is ok not to feel "normal" still. It takes time and sadly our bodies change so much that we are never really the same. Regardless of what we are told by influencers and the media. Much love ❤‍🩹

[@jackyohhhxo]

hey! sorry it took me a bit to get back to this, i get busy with the baby and unfortunately im kind of shit responding back to comments in a timely manner. Im sorry you also had a shitty first birth. Thats awful about your MIL. like its bad enough having to deal with post partum shit, to have someone going against your best interests must have been so shitty. That must have been really scary with your son being in the NICU. I would have lost it, i sort of lost it because my daughter had jaundice and thats super common so I wasn't working with the best state of mind. Honestly I really dont get the whole birth is beautiful thing. Like don't get me wrong, the baby is beautiful. But everything else sucks so hard. I would imagine it probably makes some women feel very strong but to be honest it just made me feel like an object because you're sort of treated like your pain doesn't matter. I've heard so many horror stories from friends of just crazy things that happened to them after giving birth when the epidural and everything wore off. Just nightmareish stuff. I'm glad your other birthing experiences weren't bad like the first. Unfortunately, traumatic birth aside I'm still having pretty bad panic attacks because of PPA(I don't remember if that was mentioned in this video) and if I ever get over that I'd be too scared to have another baby because they've just been so shit and going on for so long. I hope you're doing well though! Or atleast better than whatever made your last year shit. Sounds like we were both going through it :/

[@melkitty]

Congratulations on the baby! I'm so sorry you had such a hard time with your labor and delivery. The whole Healthcare system in America just sucks so bad.

Oh girl..i am so sorry for your terrible experience. I had two extremely painful deliveries where i wasn't able to have any painkillers so i absolutely feel for you...especially if you were a bit on a pregnancy cloud and had slightly unrealistic expectations that probably made it even worse... But i was lucky to have a very good and caring medical Team around me... i still can't beleive how bad and overprice the medical system in america is. it is rather terrifying and i am so sorry for you and beautiful daughter to have had to be born under such a stress and trauma. You are still under the shock of it all as well as your high hormone and probably lack of proper rest...in time you will get over it and be able to celebrate thud new change in your life without the anger and pain you feel right now.

oh wow. thats awful that you couldnt take anything for the pain. i had my epidural but it didnt take on the left side so i felt alot of what happened but i couldnt imagine being able to feel all of it. im sorry you went through that. yea the medical system in america is bonkers. theres just so much that sucks about it and it seems post partum care particularly sucks. i think im definitely doing better than when i filmed this. thank you!!

@@jackyohhhxo oh that is great to hear ! Giving birth is a real trauma on the body and the mind wether it went well or not so what you went and are going through is completely normal ... what you lived through is the most badass thing you will ever do, It is very empowering when you can own it and be proud of it!

First- congratulations on your gorgeous baby girl! Welcome to the world of motherhood. It's the most challenging but also beautiful job in the world. And I want you to know you're doing great. Second- I am so sorry for your birth experience. Finding quality care for mothers and children should not be as hard as it is, and that's why I'm never leaving the city I live in. I hope that as you recover you'll look into therapy to help you recover mentally as well. Birth trauma is very real, and all too common. I care about you an awkward amount since I've never actually met you 😅 but I do care, and i hope you can find peace and healing

[@jackyohhhxo]

thank you! im definitely trying. its a pretty hard job and ive only been at it for like 3 weeks heh. yea, i feel like you hear about how shit postpartum care is but its shocking when youre going through it. im actually currently is therapy.i had a bit of a mental breakdown at the hospital so they sort of automatically set me up with a therapist. thats incredibly sweet of you. i think im on the road to feeling better. im definitely feeling better than i did when i filmed this.

[@jessicamartone5345]

I am so sorry your birthing experience was so traumatic. You couldn’t be more right about how awful postpartum care is here in the US. My twins were gassy in those early days ( most babies are as their digestive system is adjusting to the big changes going on) and in addition to lots of gas drops it was helpful to hold them tummy down along your forearm, face resting in the palm of your hand and very gentle bounce them as you walk around ( my hubby did this usually) . It helps relieve gas pressure. I hope you and baby get the rest you need and have the chance to heal. If you will find it helpful to the healing process making a video about your experience it would likely also be very helpful to others who have gone through similar experiences. We will all be here so don’t rush this process.

[@jackyohhhxo]

thank you for your kind words. i think i knew post partum care was bad but didnt fully comprehend it until going through it myself. ohhh my husband has been holding her like that. im too nervous to because i think my arms are too short lol im probably going to make some sort of video and doll on the matter.

She's absolutely beautiful, and I agree with you about the care of women in America. My sister had a very terrible experience and it actually encouraged me to choose a home birth. Also there's no shame in post partum depression and you are allowed to take time to work through it. About the gas could it possibly you have forceful letdown? I did and it made my poor babies gassy too

[@jackyohhhxo]

thank you! im sorry your sister went through something. honestly i feel like before giving birth i was open to having another baby if we got pregnant again but definitely not after all that. i feel like im getting better day by day both mentally and physically. and no, i tried breast feeding her but it kind of was one of the things that led to me sort of having a mental breakdown after birth heh. shes on formula.we switched her formula to one thats supposed to be gentle on her stomach. i think its helping a little.

[@PetraRobinson-gm8nh]

I am so very sorry you had such a traumatic birth and experience:(I myself had an emergency C.section with my first child where we almost lost the child, so I can totally relate to you. The aftercare in Germany none existent * that was in 1988 *. I had 2 more boys with planed c.sections and that was all good. Here in the UK where I live since 1997 I had my 4th and last child, also with a planed c. section and the aftercare was phenomenal. I am sorry to hear that this is not like that for you, and especially after a traumatic birth. You are a very strong woman, and if you feel the need to talk about your experience to heal from it, then please do, it is important. So glad your little girl is healthy and happy. Newborns often have * wind * and I found that putting them with their tummy on my forearm * hard to explain * and gently rocking them, helped a lot. Or when they are on their back, gently moving their knees to their tummy and holding them there for a few seconds and repeat... I am sure your family is very supportive :)

[@jackyohhhxo]

im sorry you went through that. fortunately my daughter was affected by the birth and she seems to be thriving so im happy about that atleast. i feel like alot of countries/hospitals just boot women out after giving birth regardless of the situation. im happy you atleast received some decent care in the UK. oooo i think i know the carrying technique youre talking about. we found a tutorial online called the colic hold and it sounds like that. my husband has been doing it with her. we also do the bicycle legs and that helps alot.

[@PetraRobinson-gm8nh]

@@jackyohhhxo You are very right, I was sent home after my C.section with my daughter after 2 days, that is too early, one needs to rest and recover, at home you have to look after the newborn straight away, even when barely being able to walk straight with the pain from the c.section. I know how such a traumatic experience is horrible, after all, having a baby should be a wonderful experience. Believe me, it will pass, and your little girl is happy and healthy. Allow yourself time to heal from the trauma, it is only natural to feel how you feel.

Postpartum care for mothers is woefully lacking. Every birth experience is completely unique. They used to say that it took two years for a woman’s body to get back to normal. It is now realized that it takes SEVEN years. Therapy is absolutely a good idea, for lots of reasons. you have a lot of things to process and it really helps to have a guide. I discovered my babies need to be burped more frequently during a feeding if using a bottle. Sometimes they start sucking a little too fast when they are really hungry and get air in after just a couple of minutes. Definitely talk to the pediatrician about the gassiness if no advice you try works.

[@jackyohhhxo]

yea, i feel like its something you hear about prior to being pregnant but its still shocking when youre going through it. seven years?? woah holy crap.welp, i guess i have something to look forward to in 7 years heh. im currently in therapy. i had a bit of a mental breakdown at the hospital and had to get medicated for anxiety so they set me up with a therapist. its been okay i guess. yea weve been burping her twice sometimes 3 times per feeding. i wasnt able to go to her last pediatrician appointment because of physical stuff i had going on but im going to bring it up at the next one.

Congratulations on your baby girl. Definitely do a video but only if you feel up to it. There is no rush. Just enjoy your time with your family, we will still be here. On YT some would only post the rose colored videos they want you to see, to make it like everything is perfect and that is not the case all the time. I almost died during birth but all worked out in the end. For the gas, make sure there is no air flowing into the bottle, this causes gas ( especially if she is also being bottle fed) burping her during every feeding, and hold her upright. Try to get at least 2 burps out of her if you can.

[@jackyohhhxo]

thank you! yea definitely think i will do a vid about it. its sad, so much of the mom content i see is just...so catered to social media.i guess they figure noone wants to see the depressing stuff. im sorry your birth experience was awful but im happy youre still here. yea, ive been trying to do those things. its a bit hard sometimes unfortunately, especially the air thing because shell like...blow bubbles into it. i think im going to try dr browns bottles since they seem to be recommended for gas.

[@nekkidnora]

OH man. I- listen, as a mom and an aunt, making a baby is already hard, giving birth is hard, there's so much crazy that happens even IF everything goes well and so often it DOESN'T go well. People need to talk about how it might not be all picturesque and Lifetime movies and Mommy Blogs. And yeah, I'm in Canada, and even here there's a real big gap in the peri-natal care most people receive. And even when care is available, it can be hard to get word out about it, so people don't know what they can get. I can't imagine what it would be like to live in the US and have to worry about paying medical bills too, on top of the stress of having a new baby and giving birth and stuff. People seem to think that having babies, because it's natural, is easy, and that's just not how it usually shakes out. Anyway, rant aside, I'm glad you're relatively okay, and your daughter too, and of course you should take the time you need to recover and breathe. KZbin is definitely less important than your health and your family.

[@jackyohhhxo]

i totally agree with you. I think the system just wants you in and out of the hospital and done like 2 days after giving birth even if it goes really wrong and you can barely walk and youre peeing yourself(tmi, but that was me lol) its interesting, i feel like women's bodies arent really...like theyre suited to have babies but so often it goes wrong. like so many women I know have had c sections or tore pretty bad. and the babies dont even seem super ready to come out when they do with all their digestive problems and stuff. thank you! im definitely feeling more myself these days.

[@tiffanyjennings1159]

Oh sweet girl! First of all, congratulations. Your baby is beautiful! So much hair! Mine was bald until he was almost 2! Secondly, give yourself permission to feel all the feels. I think we humans try to over simplify our emotional responses. It is normal to have conflicting thoughts and feelings about your birth experience. On one hand, you can be thankful and happy that you got a lovely healthy daughter out of the ordeal. On the other hand, you can also be angry and sad that your experience didn’t match your expectations. Those feelings don’t negate each other; they are not mutually exclusive and they are equally valid. Finally, give yourself space to heal, both physically and emotionally. Pregnancy and birth under the best circumstances are incredibly hard on the body, and even more so when complications occur. Take the time and space to nurture yourself physically. And try to be kind and patient with yourself mentally. You’ve been through trauma and have the bonus of rapid hormonal changes. Things are bound to feel out of whack. Don’t worry about your audience right now. I’d bet the vast majority of your viewers feel the same as I do, and we are happy to wait while you heal and enjoy this precious time with your baby girl. We’ll be here when you are ready. ❤ Welcome to motherhood! It’s a beautiful, messy, wild ride. Just try not to blink- it goes by SO fast. (My baby just turned 18!) Best wishes to you and your little family!!!

[@jackyohhhxo]

thank you! yea shes definitely not lacking in the hair department. ive been trying to be kinder to myself because at first there was alot of self loathing for not being able to care for her or do things i wanted to with her because of my injuries from giving birth to her. everones been incredibly kind with this video.

[@NaNaTT549]

If baby continues to be gassy, she may be sensitive or have a milk protein allergy. So, if she doesn't improve or if she gets any worse have her checked for that, or if you're breastfeeding, you may have to try & cut milk out of your diet. Hope she & you get to feeling better. And remember you are not alone. 🙏

Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl Jacky 🎉💝😊🥰 I’m sorry that you had a bad experience with your delivery. Not every pregnancy and delivery are the same. You are a strong women and you will get through it and relize you are a lot stronger than you thought. I am a doll collector and I’m new to doll customizing and I also have 3 kids of my own so I know how hectic it can be. Family always comes first so don’t feel bad that you have to take some time away and take care of yourself and you baby ❤ are you breastfeeding or bottle feeding baby girl? Sometimes if you mix breast milk and formula it makes them a little gasy sometimes. And if your breastfeeding than try to avoid foods that tend to give someone gas. I hope this helps 😊

thank you!! i think we spoke on insta. im bottle feeding her. weve switched over to a formula thats for gas and i think its helping a little bit.

Yes we spoke on insta 😊 yes that should help and with the gas drops. Also moving her legs in bicicle motion towards stomach helps.

[@vtingen]

You deserve to be healthy and loved. America does suck for a lot of maternal issues, a lot of doctors don’t take you seriously, and postpartum depression is rarely caught by providers. Add on the crazy hormone ride in the “4th trimester” and the crushing bills and anyone would be not their best. I’m glad you made it. I’m glad your daughter made it. There is nothing wrong with accepting help or asking for it either. You should be cared for, so don’t feel guilty being supported. (Lol, easier said than done) My first pregnancy and birth were so horrible I almost refused to ever have another child, but with the love and support of my husband along with some dedicated therapy I was able to move forward. I had one more pregnancy that resulted in a live birth and it was nothing like the first one (in a good way). All that aside - mommy vlogs are mostly lies, no one has a clean house, the first year with a new baby is often hell (good thing they are cute), your body is gonna be a mess for a while, and if you think ANYTHING is wrong you are hereby given full permission to go Karen on the doctors who are not going to listen to you. As an example, I was bleeding excessively WEEKS post partum and was a hairs width away from needing a transfusion because my OB didn’t take me seriously and thought I was being dramatic. I passed out at one of my aftercare appointments and they finally took it seriously. Just take care, you will be ok, and nothing you do to heal yourself will hurt your child.

[@jackyohhhxo]

thank you! yea, honestly i consider myself a relatively mentally stable person(or i guess prior to this) but i think alot of people would have cracked a little bit under the circumstances. i think i knew prior to this that post partum care was bad but didnt quite comprehend how very very bad it was. i dont see myself ever having another baby for a couple reasons. the whole thing was just so awful but i also think my husband just makes big babies. shes a big baby, he was a big baby. so i sort of see having another one also being pretty physically intense. mommy vlogs are seriously the worst. it also feels like everyone lives in a mansion lol.a very white mansion. its funny with the whole going karen thing because im typically an incredibly polite nice person but ive definitely gone a bit kareny with this whole experience. im sorry you went through that. like how hard is it for a doctor to just look into something if a person is complaining about it? its ridiculous.

[@vtingen]

@@jackyohhhxo - look up “sad beige clothes for sad beige children.” kids need some color in their lives lol. Obviously it is your body and your choice when it comes to family planning. Hopefully my message wasn’t reading like you should absolutely have more. I ended up with 2 c-sections because of my baby:delivery canal ratio. Pregnancy is absolutely hard, and it takes a lot of effort to make a whole brand new human. That’s why I was nearly a one and done. You and your partner are for sure going to be able to make those decisions later down the line, and WHATEVER YOU DECIDE IS OKAY! Don’t let people guilt you into thinking otherwise. I’m sorry for you too. These things suck.

[@pai009]

At the end, you asked a question I know a great answer to. With your daughter having gas, give her soda water. You mix about a tea spoon of baking soda into about 4 OZ of water and give it to her in one of the medicine pacifiers, or whatever you use to give her medicine. Once she realizes what it is, your daughter has had enough. Then you sit and wait a few minutes, you'll know when it works. This trick is coming from an RN, my grandma, she says it's one of the cheapest but best gas remedies there is. Also if you or your husband have problems with gas, drink the whole thing, and it won't hurt your or hinder remedies for other things if it doesn't work.

[@jackyohhhxo]

ahh ill look into that. thanks for the recommendation!
