my c section recovery & life with a newborn

bringing baby home from the hospital and getting adjusted to life with a newborn has been so rewarding, but definitely hard at times with my c section recovery. It's been 1 week since giving birth, and we're sharing what our day looks like while caring for our newborn and recovering from a c section.

About Sierra and Stephen IRL
Hey friends! I’m Sierra Schultzzie and this is my vlog channel with my husband, Stephen. We started vlogging 4 years ago to document planning our wedding and growing together as a young married couple, and the channel has now really become our passion project. We love creating travel vlogs, disneyland vlogs, showing behind the scenes of creating my fashion videos, and all the little ups and downs of our unfiltered, real life. We also shared our journey trying to concieve and are now so happy to be sharing our experience with pregnancy and becoming first time parents.

I know you dont have to share things with us, but Im happy when you choose to! Its nice to see how happy you guys are and be part of this new chapter in your life. Its also specially sweet to see how involved Stephen is and how he loves and cares for you both. I know its his duty too, but you just dont see a lot of loving caring dads represented this way...Props to both of you! Youre great parents already!

[@KylaBendrik]

Biggest thing I (quickly) learned to include in the diaper bag: extra t-shirt for mom! (And maybe one for dad.) Also doesn't hurt to just keep a little duffle with extra pants in the car. There will come a time when some kind of bodily fluid ends up unexpectedly leaving your child and ending up all over you, and it'll happen the one day you aren't going home for another 6 hours. Don't be like me. Keep an extra set of clothes on hand! 😜

[@SierraStephenIRL]

Such a good idea!!

[@michellnielsen7451]

Yes! Extra tops for poo or breast milk overload. With my second baby we were at our first restaurant outting, minutes after getting our food he had the explosion of a lifetime. While walking to the bathroom it got ALL over my top. 😬😬 That was the quickest lunch and longest car ride!

[@JeSheikArts]

i second this!

[@sarahlara8420]

Yep! When my son was a month old he projectile pooped all over me in the car 🥴 I now keep clothes for both of us haha even 9 months later

[@jupiter2598]

When my niece was a little baby she projectile vomited allll over my shirt and thankfully I also had one in the car just because I like to be prepared in general

[@michellebusch492]

There's something special about seeing a couple who wanted and prepared for a baby, actually getting to hold their baby and parent. Y'all are precious!! (I was a teen mom, a completely different perspective)

[@misseselise3864]

Seriously!! I keep forgetting that we can actually call her by name on camera now 😅

[@christybrady74]

My daughter is 22 and me an her brothers still call her baby girl. And BURL because my sons blurred baby girl into that and it kinda stuck, lol

[@aliciasummers5048]

I know how bad a C-section hurts, but the more you get up and walk around, the faster and better you will heal. Also, the more you get up and walk (of course not overdoing it), the less sore you will become.

[@LollypopLollypop-gm8qz]

So so happy for you two beautiful girls💕 loads of love and best wishes from you fans in Ireland

[@kvsalaza1321]

Yes! Very true! When I had my c-sec moving was tough at first but it's important to take small walks around the house and then move on to outside... That helped me a lot

[@duckygoesquackquack848]

i’m 15 and i thought c sections were an easy way out but a few days ago i realized that it’s not. my mom had a c section and i should be giving her more credit!

[@angeldemon9297]

Yes! I completely agree with this! I am 5 weeks post partum from a c section, and staying on top on your meds, keeping the incision dry (use a hair dryer on cool) and getting up every 2 hours to pee, just walk around, etc you will start to feel incredibly less sore about 3 weeks post partum :) congratulations on your sweet little Grace ❤️

[@dollsNcats]

I agree with this !!! I had a c section and I felt walking truly helped so much . Like with in a week I was basically back to normal

[@dansuneautrevie2713]

"No parents, no rules ... well, I guess we're the parents." That was the weirdest adjustment for me. People would say "mom" and it took me a minute to realize they meant ME! Congratulations on the beautiful baby girl!

[@ivyvogel2689]

"You're so good with her." "Good? Gracie, I have no idea what I'm doing!" was SO funny to me, haha! I don't think we get to see dads as enthusiastic as Stephen too often, so it's really nice to see. You both look like you're thriving while you're taking care of your daughter and it's so heartwarming knowing that she's growing up in such a loving environment. I hope you two are doing well and that your c-section recovery has been going smoothly

[@eringraves4]

I don’t think people realize how rough c-section recoveries can be. I felt like I couldn’t properly care for my daughter while in the hospital because I couldn’t even get up out of bed. I was so ill-prepared, thinking I’d have a smooth birth and recovery. Hoping your first few weeks are magical, despite that!

[@remie973]

Well it is surgery you getting open so I can only imagine

[@m00n-angel]

True. I just had my first baby in March and had to have a c-section. I cried when in was in the hospital because I feel like I couldnt take care of my baby, so I feel like I was a failed mom. No one will understand until they have to go through this.

[@naamahnotorious955]

I must have had so much luck with mine. I was showering on my own 24 hours later and did stairs after 48 hours. It never even felt that much of an inconvienance. Experiences differ so much. I was lucky.

[@moonbabe612]

@Erin Nuttall same! I was terrified to go home lol. They were trying to get paperwork together for me to go home on a Friday after a Wednesday emergency csection. I was like do I have to go now? Lol. They said my insurance would pay for another night so I gladly took them up on it. Lol.

[@SuperGirlSonic]

@@naamahnotorious955 i was also lucky like this! 24 hours later I was almost back to normal!

[@ClaudiaFerreira-nq4fl]

If you feel comfortable, I'd love a body recovery update at some point. Like scars, bloating of the belly, the whole process is very interesting to me and probably other women (and maybe men too?). Best of luck with little Grace! :)

[@reggiemoon1763]

I stick a big maxi pad on the inside of the waistband of my undies after my c sections to have padding between the seat belt or whatever and my scar and it helps a lot. Something to try for the first month or so. Congratulations you guys are adorable parents! Grace is such a sweetie.

[@Kileyegewd]

I wish I would have thought of that when I had my son!

[@ashleylanglois8164]

Omg that's such a great idea, wish I saw this 4 years ago 😊

[@jackelynwelling8310]

Yes!!! It always kept my incision from also getting sweaty during my summer deliveries.

[@allysmith2284]

I did this from day one! I kept the pad up against the incision which helped me feel “tucked in” for almost a month

[@AyshaLovesYou]

Yes, I did this too! It helped a lot when I would bump into the crib or changing table! 😂

[@KateHistoryMysteries]

I suspect you have noticed this but she was born on a Tuesday. “Tuesday’s child is full of grace” indeed.

[@abigailrobinson]

Am I the only one who was teary eyed during this whole vlog? I keep thinking about how I saw the whole pregnancy journey and yet I can’t believe Grace is finally here 💕 💗 💕

[@MyVintageLife]

Na, I teared over as well, especially when I thought about this couple's preserverance.

[@TheMakeDoMorgan]

We had due dates that were just days apart and I have had so much fun watching you go through pregnancy at the same stages I was. It made it so much easier to see someone going through the same things at the same time as me. I also ended up with a Csection and love seeing you healing well. Congratulations and I'm so happy to see your little girl happy and healthy and here!

[@jillypepper_]

I hope your recovery is going smoothly. Congrats on the little one!

[@mcknight3023]

My due date was a couple weeks before Sierra and it’s like I’ve been going through this pregnancy journey with my “Internet BFF!” And ironically enough after an almost 60 hour induction I also had an unscheduled c section! Also congrats on your sweet baby as well!

[@IrbyOCD]

When she’s not hungry and you’re ready take advantage and pump some. Daddy will love the opportunity to feed her.

[@sheilafelix113]

This would be a lovely thing to do for Stephen and Grace. Also, once she regains her birth weight it is safe to let her sleep longer. You could pump or sleep yourself. But of course these are just suggestions!😁 You follow your own Mommy instinct. You will do great!

[@lailabentsen8445]

NatureBond™ Silicone Breast Pump

[@janiceosullivan3337]

It’s not recommended to pump until 6 weeks post partum so not to cause oversupply, lots of ways daddy can bond; skin to skin, burping, carrying in a sling 🥰

[@rnslove]

@@janiceosullivan3337 Not true. We have our moms start pumping right after birth. Nurse then pump.

[@lailabentsen8445]

@@janiceosullivan3337 naturebond is more like a milk collector then a breast pump. And i got it recommended at the hospital. Better to collect the milk than spill it.

[@cheetahiq]

I still can’t get over how perfect her name is! And she’s just absolutely precious and I love her already!

[@jeancrochets]

I showed my mother a little bit of this video, mainly to show off Grace's cute Star Wars outfit. When she saw Stephen look at Grace her immediate response was: Aw, he's so cute. We both agree Stephen makes for a very cute dad.

[@teambeining]

Tip: store each diaper and outfit in a ziplock bag. Then switch out the clean for the dirty as needed. This prevents yuck from getting all over your diaper bag and greatly reduces the odor. Plus, the world will thank you if you package dirty diapers before you leave them in the public trash. I know it seems wasteful, but it was worth it for me (sorry, Earth). Far superior than the pooper bags you can buy.

[@deniseroserobermudez1225]

If it’s not too intrusive, and I know this is a delicate subject, but I was wondering if you could ever talk about your postpartum body, and how have you been dealing with all the changes your body went through, if you plan on going on a certain special routine or anything… I know it is not scary for some people, but one of the things that scare me the most about pregnancy, is what’s gonna happen to my body, and it is always comforting to hear from other peoples experiences, especially when they have a body positive mentality ✨ and congrats on your baby! She’s precious!

[@lanadeux4120]

She has a video on her main channel! It’s mostly from during the pregnancy but at the end she has a postpartum clip and describes the changes her body went through :)

[@mary-katevidic2121]

My eldest sister sometimes has discomfort from her scar seven years on, she always says "Voldemort is near" 😂😂😂 But in all seriousness, Grace is gorgeous, Sierra... How did you just have a baby?! You look AMAZING! 😍 You've both taken to parenthood like ducks to water, congratulations!

[@jessiemaxwell6427]

I didn’t expect vlogs from Sierra this soon but I’m loving every minute of it 💛💛

[@DD-ss2cx]

Pump in between feedings!! I used breastmilk freezer bags and froze them flat to stack!! You’ll have a stock pile & will produce more so don’t worry about not having enough for her!! This will prevent mastitis (the next step after rock hard breast) 🌸💕💗 You’re doing great! ** edit- I highly recommend a hand pump!!

[@janiceosullivan3337]

There is no need to pump between feeds, her own body will regulate supply based on what baby takes in, if someone wants to pump, it is advised to wait until up to 6 weeks post partum to start so not to induce oversupply ❤️

[@jayleekay8788]

The second-hand euphoria I’m getting from watching you two as parents is so incredible 🥲♥️

[@afterallthistimealways1783]

"Ok, mommy's gotta go kick daddy's butt in Mario Kart I've got to put you down" is the most Sierra & Stephen sentence ever y'all are going to be such phenomenal parents 🥺❤️

[@peggymcdonald3983]

Be careful not to do too much no matter how good you feel!!! I did a little bit of vacuuming because I was feeling pretty good. Unfortunately, I ended up popping my incision site open. It sucked and I wouldn't want anyone to have the same!! Love you guys and Grace!! Prayers for a continued great recovery!!

[@Lia-oh4kz]

@@SierraStephenIRL Such a beautiful name. Thank you Sierra for the vlogs. So happy for you guys and your baby.

[@lezliesmith3354]

They probably don't want to share Grace's middle name online. Let them have some private information. I haven't shared my baby's middle name online and I don't have a big KZbin channel or a large following. But I never shared it on my FB, or Instagram (even though I only have family and friends on FB, and have a private Insta for personal pictures). It's too easy to misuse information like middle names and birth weight and length. Sierra and Stephen are completely allowed to keep baby girls private information private. As viewers of their channel we are not entitled to any info they want to keep to themselves. If they haven't shared it in a video or online on instagram then our job is to assume it's information they don't feel comfortable sharing yet, or at all.

[@k8tallison250]

Sierra looks amazing and well rested. Stephen looks like he hasn't slept a second 😂 Also, I'm sure you're getting a ton of recommendations and mommy tips. My tip would be...... Your body is learning your babies food needs. That's why they're getting rock hard between feedings. That will normal out soon. But I recommend pumping in between if you can, then freeze it. It's always good to have back up breast milk in the freezer. You never know when you might have to pump and dump over the next year or two. Also so many more congratulations. You're rocking your recovery. C-section recovery is rough. Edit to amend a little.... If you're rock hard and she's not ready to eat, that's when you should pump a little.

[@87glassrose]

There is actually no reason to pump and dump at least not for alcohol. The alcohol leaves your breast milk at the same rate as in your blood. The alcohol doesn’t just sit there till you pump it out in your breast milk or anything. At least that was the latest research I read recently. I personally won’t drink until my babies are at least three months old and only in moderation. But those are my personal rules.

[@k8tallison250]

@@87glassrose I didn't mean just alcohol (even though I don't recommend drinking and breastfeeding. Alcohol can be present in breastmilk for hours after drinking, why risk it?) my youngest is 9 now, so maybe things have changed.... There are also test strips to test alcohol in breast milk. But there are many other reasons you may have to pump and dump, or you can't feed your baby yourself. Medications as one example.

[@eilidgh17]

Always amazes me how some people talk about c section as if they are an 'easy' option... Yeh major surgery, opening your abdomen after you body has already endured 9 months of stress. Then rather than just focusing on healing and taking it slow you most probably have to try and recover while caring for a newborn...

[@zach3394]

exactly! neither is easy. Birth is not easy. It just depends on what's best for the individual mother based on her circumstances which she should go with to be most safe.

[@maddiejoy6619]

Sierra, I hope you see this! I found your channel right after I had my son. Postpartum depression and anxiety hit me like a freight train. That, paired with long, sleepless, lonely nights left me needing something to watch that was warm, positive, and not stressful. One of your videos was recommended to me, so I clicked it. I watched so many of your videos on those hard nights. You encouraged me so much during that difficult, but incredibly special time. I'm so happy for you and your little family! It broke my heart to hear about your fertility struggles. It's amazing to see that beautiful rainbow baby come after heartache. I can tell you two will make wonderful parents. Thank you for all you do! Give baby girl an extra snuggle from me!

You two are already amazing parents! Your teamwork and way of engaging with her is incredible to see! “Grace, I don’t know what I’m doing” was my favorite! ❤️

[@blackcat-rc5ee]

Something someone suggested to me after giving birth a couple weeks ago is to pump after feeding or within about an hour. It helps with the pain of engorgement, plus you can build up a supply for later.

[@j08trapper]

Probably stretching/popping internal scar tissue. With my 2nd CS, they took some time to clear out scar tissue from the 1st. With my 3rd CS, they took more time to to do the same. Still deal with weird pains every now and then, and figure it’s scar tissue internally.

My advice (that you didn't even ask for lol) is to just enjoy your easy baby. With my 1st extremely easy child I listened and believed the "just wait and see..." talk around me expecting my happy little one turning into a complete monster. He is soon 4 years old and he is still easy, he has always been through all the years. And I ruined it for myself just waiting it to get bad. I hope I just ignored all the talk and enjoyed my little one. My 2nd one is easy as well and this time I was clever enough to embrace it. :) All the best to your family. ❤

[@hayley-rieder-wiley]

Thank you!! ❤

Omg girl yes! C section recovery is so hard! I just remember crying over the pain like just straight sobbing because I couldn’t get up on my own. C sections not only take a toll on your physically but mentally so make sure you’re still taking care of yourself too babe! Something that helped me & was my literally saving grace was the belly wrap thing they give you at the hospital. It gives so much support & you don’t feel like your falling out. It took me 2.5 weeks before I could size down to the target belly band I got for my shower but omg are they worth it! So glad to see everyone is happy & healthy!

Congratulations!!! You two are glowing 😍

[@emilyfaith4932]

It’s so surreal seeing you finally with baby Grace after the last few years you’ve had. So so cute and you guys are amazing with her 🥰🥰

[@nikkiwin7842]

I just checked this channel this morning for a new video and refreshed to see this new video! So happy for you and Stephen

[@redstar1976]

You look so bright and happy and radiant! Which frankly is amazing giving your long labour, a C-section and a week of looking after a newborn with only two chances to have a shower. It's lovely to see you getting to know your baby and being such a happy, excited new mum.

[@izzy4350]

you guys look like you’re glowing with joy!!!!

[@MariaL42709]

Whenever I hug my mom it feels like home like I’m safe so seeing ur lovely family just reminds me of how my family used to feel and I couldn’t stop smiling the whole video

[@keykey032]

Oh my gosh such a cute family. I’m so happy for you guys. Can’t wait for so many more cute baby vlogs in the future. ❤️❤️

[@tamiaedrington5762]

Awww Stephen 🥺 “oopsie on both of us we won’t let that happen again” the way he loves you guys is so sweet

[@MeliaJanae]

I would love to know what to expect after giving birth. Like it’s difficult to really know what changes happen to your body so it would be cool to hear your experience

[@MyVintageLife]

I think it must be scary to let go of the baby after birth, should she ever come to any harm outside the womb. I know a mother who had a nervous breakdown after feeling like that.

[@lisaporter-smith676]

@@MyVintageLife That’s postpartum anxiety and is just as common as PPD but isn’t talked about as much.

[@MyVintageLife]

@@lisaporter-smith676 My cousin had an only daughter over 30 years ago, and she became quite depressed and anxious, divorced, remarried, but was never quite back to her old self. I know it was much more than PPD. She really is a total stranger to me now. It was scary. But her daughter, after the mom's many psychological struggles, was nurtured and loved, and thrives, from what I hear.

Watching this before i go to bed Makes me so happy to see your little family and you have made such a beautiful girl She is gonna grow up to be an amazing person 🥰

[@kellyreadingbooks]

When Steven told Grace he has no idea what he’s doing 😂 so cute

[@JackieWarner13]

I'm 29 but not a lot of my friends have had kids only 2 of my friends & only my friend this year who had a bub has told us about what she experienced after birth. You always hear about pregnancies & sometimes the great births but you don't really hear much about the birth & aftermath. My friend was in labour for 18 hours & she gave birth in feb but she still has trouble "down there" bc of what happened in the birth & she's gotta have surgery in couple weeks as she hasn't gotten better due to what doctors did. So I was shocked. I love how much women now share what happens because it can help a lot & also others can learn like I didn't know certain things could happen. You're such an amazing woman Sierra. So excited for you to experience this next step in life.

[@kaushika6180]

Ngl I felt like Sierra looked different than a couple of vlogs ago. I love the way motherhood has changed her(ofc for the good) it is nice to see you happy with Stephen and lil grace 🥺🥺 I am soo glad you are doing better now! My mom had a c section with me and she couldn’t hold for a week cause she was put in heavy antibiotics due to the pain… I do not know how they managed to breastfeed me, my mom did not share that part of my birth yet 😅 Just thought I would share if it makes you feel any better

[@erikaplante-jean7745]

Oh my god she is so calm! My baby could only sleep, eat or cry. And a mix of those. It was like that for like the first month at least! (Good thing she is now the smileyest baby I have seen)

[@Greg55bona]

How long is Grace? She looks so long. You look fabulous and glowing.

[@calliea9064]

Steven is so so sweet with Grace! We love seeing a man who can be nurturing and gentle and in touch with their emotions🙏🏻🥰

[@emmelemzivlogs]

She is such a cute little one! So fun to get to see her and hear that you guys are doing okay!

[@Kreatyve1]

I absolutely love watching Stephen and Sierra with baby Grace! Such a great family! I'm happy you are recovering quickly and that you and Grace are doing well, Sierra!
