my birth story + vlog (positive induction!)

[@Dawn0596]

Zac and Clancy never disappoint with their humor in certain situations. You could tell Zac was worried about the blood aspect of the delivery. I’m so glad everything went well and as always Clancy, you stay true and keep it real. I hope we can hear Zac’s POV of the delivery. 😊

[@meganelise2186]

3:05 CLANCY knowing you’ve seen this photo, and then all this time trying to put the blame on Zac for Decker’s head size?!?! The audacity 🤣🤣🤣 I love it ❤

Clancy, I love that you are keeping it real! So many people feel they can’t share the truth. I am so glad your healthy the baby is healthy and happy and you did it!

[@vickeywilson2500]

Not your but you’re. Oops!

[@pamd4068]

I agree because my mother-in-law told me that her water broke and she went and took a shower and shaved. Her legs got ready for the hospital. Went in had zero pain and the baby came. I was like what the actual fuk!

[@laneywagner5735]

Clancy, I’m not sure if you’ll ever see this but I’m okay with saying it anyways!! I sobbed watching you be a mom!! I feel so blessed to be able to see you grow and your life change so much, obviously you don’t know all of us, but we’ve gotten to know you! I’m 23 right now and I was 12 years old when I saw your first video. I searched it up after I got my first iPod for my birthday. Then I got to see you tell your allergy story, your Tylenol OD story, the trip to the beach to visit your brother, your Victoria’s Secret work experience video (my fav), all of your daily Clancy college vlogs (especially the ones where you had eye problems, a swollen thumb, and a forgotten sweet potato in the oven), then watching you graduate and move to Ohio, start dating Zac, move in with in, get engaged, quit reporting, traveling, buy a house, get married, your PCOS journey, and now watching you be a mom. My sister in laws pregnancy journey was 2 days apart from yours the whole way which made it extra special to watch you this year. I just feel so blessed that someone like you has spent so much of their life filming and sharing for the world to see. Your videos have become comfort videos that are always on when I’m cleaning, cooking, in the car etc. and I depending on my mood, I get to decide which era of your life I want to watch and be apart of each day! I’m just so happy for you. Congratulations. 🤍 Love the pod btw!

[@ClancyBurkeX]

Omg this might be the sweetest message I’ve ever received!!!😭 thank you so so much! It means the world 🩷 and by the way…before we found out decker was going to be a boy Laney was at the top of our list..it’s a beautiful name!

As a 32 year old who hasn't had a kid (at least not yet), I appreciate hearing your experience! Love that you kept it real as always. Never stop. ❤ So happy for you, Zac, and baby Decker!

[@izyzyzyzyzy]

Ok my two cents, I love the scene staging of your confessional style interview here. I know the Clancy room couch dilemma is giving grief to you, but this is perfect

[@lornacrystal9784]

Omg this was theeee best birth story that I have ever seen on KZbin hands down! You and Zac have this way of making uncomfortable situations hilarious. I smiled and giggled throughout. I’m so happy for you both! What a special gift from God. I hope that you’re healing well Clancy and Welcome Decker ❤

Thank you for sharing your story!! You’re such a good story teller. I laughed and cried during your story! I’m sorry about your negative experiences 😢

[@devonncc]

Love how real you're being!!! That time after giving birth is sooooo weird, and isn't necessarily the magical moment people describe it as! I also pushed for almost 3 hours total (With a break like you), and it really is the hardest thing ever. It's the coolest thing I've ever done though (gave birth in January) and I'm so proud of you!!!!

[@Emily-Porras]

I’m up with baby and came by to finish this tonight-one of my fav videos ever from you as you interject your own beautiful blend of reality, shock and humor to the (and your own personal) birth experience. I say “finish” because I saw you post this the week I was due-and I couldn’t start it knowing that I didn’t want to be traumatized so close to my own experience 😂 but postpartum this was relatable in soo many ways and I thoroughly enjoyed it just now! So glad everything came out well for you! And umm yes-the husband hip squeezes are the best! 💪

[@JenMorlock94]

Clancy, I can’t say how proud I am of you (a stranger) watching this after following you for years and years! ❤ Also I’ve always loved Zac and you together, but…. where do I find a guy like Zac? he was so sweet!

omg Clancy!! I used to watch your videos like 11 years ago and haven't watched a video of yours in a few years (even though I'm subscribed to you I don't know why your videos never show up ): ). Anyway, I saw this title and my jaw dropped!! I'm a little late but congratulations on the baby! its crazy how different your life is now vs when I started watching and you still lived at home!

[@erinmctague7188]

I don’t have any kids yet but want to hopefully in another few years. This really helps me understand the process more. I’m glad you’re not holding back anything and being raw. I know so many women have different experiences being either smooth and easy, painless even, or very painful, complicated and can take more than 24 hours sometimes. There’s so much about pregnancy and child birth regardless of delivery method that until you’re dealing with you women don’t always know about. Excited to see more updates and all the changes coming up💜

[@pamd4068]

I love how real you are too. I was induced for 2 days. My son didn't come until the third day by C-section. They didn't get all the placenta and two days later I was showering and screamed we had to go in and they had to deliver the rest of the placenta and I was with fever and she didn't give me anything before she pulled out the rest of the placenta. It was unbelievable! That was in 1990. Then I had two more kids. I have a total of three. 🙂 All adults now!

Congrats Zac and Clancy! My daughter’s head was bigger than 95% or other babies. I pushed for 4 hours and she couldn’t fit. I didn’t get an epidural. I had to get cut to make more room. They had to use the vacuum and it left some bruises. I never knew that you had to do 3 sets of 10. Women’s bodies are just amazing

[@9384cows]

At 43 weeks pregnant after 4 days of labor I had to insist to be admitted. Unfortunately, I wasn't even dilated. After many hours on advice from a nurse I fired the Dr. Mine was on vacation. When the main dr finally came in at 6pm he told them to rush me into surgery for a c-section. My son's head was way too big to go into the cervix to even dialate me. He was delivered and I ended up crashing. The last thing I heard was "we're loosing her dr". Thankfully they revived me but advised me not to have any more babies. I already had a daughter. As a baby I had to undo every shoulder on every shirt he had and put in snaps bcuz his head was so big. He had a big head throughout childhood and at 42 he still has a big head! So happy that everything turned out so great for you all. He's a beautiful baby. Congratulations!

[@megdann07]

So many similarities in our birth stories! I wound up having to have a vacuum delivery after my son’s big ole noggin was stuck. On the very last push before they would have wheeled me back for a c-section, he came out. His head was 99th percentile and I had a 3rd degree tear as well and several 2nd degree tears. I also had a lot of blood loss and wound up having a blood transfusion the next day. If we ever have another, I will opt for a c-section because recovery was BRUTAL. Hopefully you are recovering well and just taking in all of these moments! We are a year out this past September from our son’s birth and when they tell you it goes fast…it’s so true! 💙

My 1st got stuck too! I was also induced, went into labor within 6 hrs, pushed for 2 1/2 hrs (all positions - including all 4’s which I hated too!), she got stuck, my epidural didn’t work (worst pain of my life!), they had to put me all the way under to do an emergency C section! Her little forehead had bruises on it from all the pushing, but she was absolutaly fine! My next 2 kids were planned c-sections and it was the easiest thing ever lol! Congrats Mama - so, so happy for you!! ❤

[@meganthefoodie]

Your birth story sounds a lot like mine. Epidural didn't work on half my body. Nausea, puked all over my mom and husband, pushing forever, forceps delivery, 3rd degree tear. The things we do for our children. But it's so worth it!

I’m so glad you had a great experience and listened to your doctor.

He also has a really big head and I was crowning for 3 hours. Once we got to the hospital i had an episiotomy and he got out with one push. My little dude is still in the NICU but he is improving every day and I can’t wait to have him home. Just sharing my story for anyone else who is a first time mama. Listen to your doctor❤

Clancy, I had an elective induction at 39w5d (baby girl was born at 39w6d) and I have zero regrets! Also, the epidural is soooo nice. 10/10 will not do again without it 🤣 I also had extreme nausea during my induction, I think it was the pitocin 🤢 What a beautiful story!

I was medically induced for pre-eclampsia and I felt like I was so disconnected from the whole situation after being in the hospital for 6 days before.
