My Birth Story + Baby Name! | Black Friday

[@aeonia_anassa]

I first find your channel back in 2014. You were engaged with Mr. Owl. I followed you and watched you go through everything, you leaving for Germany, meeting someone else, getting married, divorce, get back with Mr. Owl and now you two having a baby! Am I crazy that I almost feel you like a sister!? So happy for you two and for your baby, lots of love to all of you.

[@rishibeauty8889]

you are proof of how strong women really are. You may still have moments when you think you can’t do it or it is too much to handle- just remember how much you have already withstood. way to go Mum!

[@Wyrdgrrl]

Severine is the most goth name ever! I love it! I have a hunch that she'll be the most blond, cherubic, cheerful child who looks like she should be named Sunshine or something, but if she turns out to be a Wednesday then that would just be *chefs kiss*

[@dayaautum6983]

Severine is an awesome name, I won't argue that. It's very appropriate. However Lilith is a thing, in fact the name Lealith was invented because there were too many Liliths in the Goth world.

[@samaelhuyghe4110]

Funny how in french, only Karens have this name. But yeah, hits different in english.^^

I'm a punk/goth Mom. Its really easy to feel inadequate for both not looking like a traditional Mom as well as not fully exploring my style and identity due to exhaustion and a tight budget. I love how you have remained utterly your spooky self and its so empowering. (I also had a 37-week induced labor and emergency c-section due to pre-eclampsia, myself and baby are okay and I'm glad you both are too!! I named her Milena Astrid-Wynne)

[@ShallaBal82]

6:20 I screamed throughout my delivery because I was pushing so hard (I have pictures of me after labour with broken capillaries on my face, shoulders, neck, and chest - it looked like heavy freckles/a birth mark), but my water would NOT break until my son came out. I was so humiliated and apologizing between pushing to the midwives and nurses. I even apologized before leaving the hospital the next day, and then during follow-up appointments with my midwives. Thank you so much for speaking about the screaming experience because I think it's something that isn't talked about much, even though it's oh so justified. Congratulations so much! You sound like you're doing amazing!

[@lynnhobby32321]

That’s when the other women waiting to birth are like nope, not going to do it! 🤣

[@lyndey]

Oh my god, I had so many broken capillaries on my arms and neck from holding my legs while pushing! I still have one red spot on my neck that has never gone away. My daughter (now 2.5) likes to poke it and say "I did that!"

[@queer2k]

Sooooo many apologies to the nurses that I yelled at!

[@Rose-jk8hc]

I really hope that was a while ago. They have tools to pop your water. They had to use one for me for my son. There's no reason to make a mom suffer like that.

[@brittz7506]

I was pushing so hard and so long that I had broken capillaries everywhere plus 2 black eyes. They were almost completely swollen shut when my son finally came out. My dr kept telling me I wasn't pushing right 😥 it was awful.. I almost gave up until my husband showed me pictures that he was right there and he could see his hair. That gave me the motivation...

[@NoirVelours]

Severine! That's a French girl name :) means stern, love the name it sounds good. Happy you and baby are in good health, it was a 24h long nightmare for me. My son (a metalhead) is now 20 and still proud to have a goth mom. My family was hoping I would drop the phase (lol I was 27) when I got pregnant because for them a mother has to look a certain way and have certain normal interests LMAO, how I proved them wrong!

@@andrealopezdelgado66 Severine is derived from Severus or Severin in French and yes it has a latin origin. It's a name that was encountered mostly in the late 70's in France. Sabina and Sabrina are related yes but not to Severine, they come from Sabinus.

[@pamelaeredia3957]

I found your channel about 5 years ago, when I would have NEVER imagined that I would be pregnant, at that time I felt very represented for having found someone who liked things similar to what I liked, I live in a city where NOBODY knows the slightest bit about gothic culture , when I got pregnant my life changed completely and I had a great immersion in maternal life, I found my reason to live, I saw many reports of childbirth when I was pregnant and seeing this one today made me cry, it's so beautiful to know that someone who helped me so much to feeling included before pregnancy also went through the experience of being a mother, even though our birth experiences were so different. You cause an ethereal feeling in me and I can only be extremely grateful for having met your channel and for being who you are. congratulations on the baby, for being so strong in this birth and thank you THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your experience that was and is so unique.

[@arumasan6194]

My first was a 27 hour labor ending with a cesarean because of my cervix swelling and my daughter being 9lbs 😂, he peeked multiple times during the dialation, crowning then, the cesarean even though the nurses suggested against it his response was "I was man enough to make the baby, shes strong enough to birth the baby, i should be strong and present enough to know the process and help her through it". Our surgeon was flabbergasted when he peaked over the curtain and kept his composure 😂 he later said he got a little light headed at the sight of my whole bodily contents but he was a trooper and even watched baby girl number 2 be pulled out via cesarean as well.

Telling and retelling my birth stories (especially my first, induced, back-labour birth of a 10lb baby) were the only way I was able to process them and recover emotionally.

You’re way stronger than me, lol, I had a super incredible easy labor, MISERABLE pregnancy but easy labor. I honestly thought it was no big deal…I considered not asking for an epidural but…I plain and simple didn’t want to My contractions weren’t even bad and I was like “eh just in case” you had the worst of the worst and still made it through.

[@akemiemiko3173]

my first daughter put so much pressure on my lower back and i had so much swelling my grandmother (who is a liscenced nurse) was sure i had pre eclampsia but the docs all dismissed it, in the end i wound up being induced at 39w and the contractions made me wake up crying while i never dialated past 4cm and baby wouldnt drop, after about 28 hrs of labor the doc comes in and tells me that baby is getting stressed and since it had already been 12hrs since they popped my water we needed to have an urgent c section, now its lovely not feeling anything after all the labor but when i tell you that i was terrified cause baby was delivered and we heard nothing what was about 45seconds felt like minutes then as they messed with her feet she started to cry, i cant explain how amazing and what a relief it was to finally hear my baby cry. in the end we both recovered well and she is now almost 3 but i do get what you are saying and healing a c section will leave parts of your stomach numb.

[@thecursedmermaid]

Wow what a crazy time! Glad you both are okay! That's a lovely unique name. I was born at 27 weeks and I was 3 pounds, had a hole in my small intestine and it was quite an ordeal for my mom. But we both were fine after and had a good life so far. Wish you the same 🖤

Oof, as soon as you said your ankles puffed up I knew where this was going :( Thank goodness you're OK (despite what sounds like a traumatic birth), and Severine is home with you and Mr. Owl ❤ I'm so happy for you all! The message at the end is so important too, it's vital for pregnant women to monitor their blood pressure because pre-eclampsia is so serious. Many, MANY, women and babies throughout history lost their lives as a result of pre-eclampsia and with all the medical advances we have now at our disposal it's avoidable and if not it's treatable/manageable with intervention. Awareness is critical though and unfortunately it seems sometimes women don't realize until it's too late.

[@josettekey3533]

So glad you're back. You have really been through it. My niece had the exact same problem when she had her first baby. The baby (Niki) was so tiny, she wore Cabbage Patch clothes for a while. This same baby gave birth to a daughter last month and she was a little porker. Love the name you chose.

I'm so happy that, while you had a wild birth story, you're all home and healthy ❤ I wish the very best for your whole family in the future and a happy and healthy life for your beautiful daughter ❤ I was a small baby as well, 5 lbs 9 oz, but I was born 3 weeks late. My mother had a dry birth, only 1 cup of amniotic fluid. I've been told I have some dead brain tissue because of it. I'm only 4' 10" and remember getting x-rays as a kid to see if my bones were growing normally and having blood drawn to test for disorders. But that was in the 80's, and in the us's horrid healthcare system. And all's well that ends well 😊

[@efthcarabrad4907]

Thank you for describing this. I had a horrific pregnancy and an intensely painful and traumatic birth. People do not explain or go into how it can be so painful and upsetting and the “this isn’t my baby” feeling to begin with. It took a while for me to feel that also and she and I were in hospital for a week afterwards. It is important for people to hear these stories. People who have a wonderful birth etc, it’s great and that, but sharing this experience and had I heard something sooner, wouldn’t have made me feel not so alone. My daughter is 4 and I wouldn’t change a second of it (well, except my post natal psychosis, could have done without that!). That is a beautiful name for your daughter and I wish your family all the best going forward.

Scary to hear/read...it's like being betrayed by your own body. I get why people sometimes have difficulty bonding with their child after a traumatic birth...I don't understand why pregnancies are so difficult...wouldn't it make evolutionary sense for it to be easy to have offspring?

This is so similar to my first child’s birth, I refused an epidural as well, was induced, unbearable pain for 22hrs of labour but never got past 3cm dilated and ended in an emergency C-section. I’m in the UK and I feel like there needs to be waaay more info given to mothers about induction

Douglas and I say God bless to you and your family. I found your story truly inspirational and amazing to hear.

My mother had preeclampsia and I was 5 weeks early because of it. I'm so glad you and your baby Severine are ok.

[@tastewithtiffany1462]

Oh my gosh, you poor woman!! So pleased you, Severine and Mr Owl are all ok. Take care and sending you all my very best vibes xx

Omg we've all been waiting for the little Black Friday!!! I'm so glad that you and the baby are healthy now.🥺 I can't wait for more content to come. I've been watching you since middle school! I'm now here 1 year after graduating high school...man that's crazy 🥺❤️ I think everyone here has been dreaming of the day you and Mr.Owl got back together and had a baby

[@caseytay24]

Congratulations! Birth is crazy! I'm glad the family is safe!

[@BeautifulAvenger]

So glad that you are recovering and the baby bat is doing well! 🖤🦇 Sending the best vibes your way! Xx

[@melaniesullivan1916]

I knew it!! Somehow I knew so many congratulations to you and your family! Apple slices and crackers helped me with the icky pukies. I myself have four boys and each pregnancy was different. I'm so happy for you and anxious to see the lil Mr Owlet! Love you!

[@ell_uh_bee]

I swear to god it was like you were telling MY birth story with my twins! 🖤 It happened the same exact way as yours, down to the teensy details, except I finally caved and asked for the epidural - too

[@Crowvamp1979]

I'm just so glad you and the baby are ok. Manny blessing to you and your family!
