MY DETAILED BIRTH STORY | BREECH BABY C-SECTION

Hiii! Thank you for all of the well wishes and love you have sent our way. We are adjusting to being a family of 3 and couldn’t be happier! This video is a detailed story of how my c-section experience was (positive overall) in the hospital and the first few days home.
Just a quick warning that there are a few graphic details and photos so please avoid watching the video if you don’t wish to hear/see certain things regarding birth/blood/etc.

Ashley, congratulations to you and Ryan. I had 4 C-sections so I completely understand what you’re describing. Your baby is absolutely beautiful. Kudos to you Ryan for taking such good care of Ashley. I expected nothing less of you. ❤

[@RaevionCarr-kd1ku]

I had 6 c sections & im 38 weeks pregnant now 😭😩!! With my baby girl !!! They inducing me next week on Friday the 15th because my daughter is still Breech and she hasn’t turned head down !! And more and likely imma be getting another c section again

[@deborahgarcia4]

Thank you for sharing your birth story! I had an emergency c-section because I was in birth for 46 hours and ended up getting sick because I was laboring too long. I ended up hemorrhaging after I was sewn up, and my baby ended up in the NICU because he got sick too. Literally so crazy how everyone has so many different birth stories. Mine was so traumatic, but I love hearing others because it reminds that my first experience giving birth may not be like my next experience. I'm so happy for you and your little family! Enjoy the newborn stage! Btw, my baby boy is happy, healthy, and is now 7 months old. :) C-section recovery sucks, but boy does it make you a stronger mama.

[@chantalwood5788]

Im due in 5 weeks and I completely understand the "selfishness" of wanting to keep baby to yourself. I love feeling like I am protecting him, have a special bond and I know Ill miss feeling him move in my stomach. Im excited for the real cuddles but bummed Ill have to share him lol.

[@jenniferfrazierlpc7171]

Yeess!! I get it!!!

[@stephaniemcfarlane4434]

I cried wayyy too much in this video. I’m so happy for you and your family. You are truly blessed with both rumi and your husband. Ryan is such a sweetheart and it’s so nice to hear that he helped so much. 💕

[@christinasiak1575]

I usually don’t comment, but when you said that your husband told you “she is so beautiful” I thought yeah everybody says that. Then I saw her ! And yes definitely she is one of the most beautiful newborns I ever saw

[@maxinebaldwin2230]

Been looking forward to this video 🥳. Congratulations Ash and Ryan. I hope she brings you endless amounts of love and happiness ❤

[@PachoH]

I've a c section planned for January for our little IVF miracle so I've been waiting on this video. I'm so glad it went well for you & you had such a good experience. I'm still absolutely terrified but at least I know better what to expect. Wishing the 3 of you a lifetime of health and happiness. She's just beautiful! If you could do a hospital bag video that would be helpful too, especially since you said you didn't use half of what you packed.

[@stefmoreno6528]

A journey and experience like no other. Congratulations to you both! ♥️

[@capricorndrbird]

Congratulations 🎊 on your new baby 🤱. I've been watching you in the og KZbin days and seeing the journey is so inspiring. She's so beautiful 🙂. I had a myomectomy surgery to remove a really big fibroid last December and as a result I have to get a c section once I get pregnant, 39 weeks to be exact. The myomectomy incision is the same as the cesarean incision and the pain of post c section sounds familiar with the surgery. The bleeding for me after the nurse removed the catheter was from getting my menstrual cycle. I'm here with you when you said the nurse insisted you walk after and you wanted to hurt her the Doctors cut you open, all up in your uterus and sew your stomach back up. This was a very informative and thorough video, thank you for this ! I am a Type A chic so I can relate to how you are extra prepared for the hospital stay, I was the same way with my myomectomy surgery last year.It'll be helpful when I have a scheduled c section in my future because of my prior myomectomy surgery.

[@CSondie]

Thank you for sharing your experience!!! She is one lucky gal to have parents like you guys! Congratulations she is adorable!!👶🎀

[@ltlt3477]

if that isn't one of the most sweetest, loving, precious birth stories with a beautiful baby girl to boot!! I'm so happpppppyyyy for you and your family!!!!

[@christinemyrie3573]

Birth is so crazy and so special. So happy you are doing well and excited to see Rumi grow up!

[@MommaFromScratch]

Im so glad you had a great experience! Its the best seeing your baby for the first time! Having your mom help out at home is the best!

[@MeliMel277]

Congretations! She’s precious! We just had our check up at 36 weeks and Baby Girl is still Breech. I’m doing everything I can on my end to try to get her to flip. 🙏🙏

[@macarthurhenderson2510]

Congrats, this is such an exciting journey for yall and I can't wait to follow along! Love her name!

[@hayleybeck83]

Thank you so much for sharing- currently 29 weeks, first time mom and my baby has been breech since week 20 and was still breech at 28 week growth scan- the idea of a c-section is looming and hearing your experience is really helpful- thanks so much!

[@lifewithcancer916]

I’m so glad your being real about how it really is postpartum. I always laugh at all these videos of woman filming on KZbin about what’s in my hospital bag. They went and bought all these special pajama outfits, robes, hair accessories, makeup etc. I guess you truly have to go through it to understand. Hopefully women expecting will watch your video and get it. Many will also bring all these special outfits for the baby in hospital bag and none get used. Even at home for the first month or so baby doesn’t wear all these outfits. It’s just about being comfortable and easy. So many newborn clothes don’t even ever get worn because they grow out of them so fast. I try to pass it on to any friends or family that’s expecting so they don’t waste money on all these newborn outfits. Just onesies and gowns! Congrats, she’s absolutely beautiful and love her name💕

[@roombasrevenge1948]

Sleepers are life lol

[@cathryncavalli]

Every baby has their own birth story and they are all beautiful ♥️ my LO is 2yrs old and my unprofessional unsolicited advice is, once you get into a routine the baby will grow and change it again 🤪 there’s apps that tell you about their Developmental Leaps that help you understand what’s going on in their little bodies ☺️ Also the baby routine of: eat, activity, sleep, repeat. It’s helps their little bodies figure out how to function and it naturally create a routine for you ❤

[@rababshak]

Love how you go through all the details. I accompanied my sister during her first c-section, it was quite an experience to be around definitely, it was very hard to watch my sister in such pain. Sending you and Rumi love and wish you both good health

[@jenniferfrazierlpc7171]

This was so good and helpful! Thank you so much. Delivering our first baby girl in July! You did great and Ryan was so helpful. I love her name and she is beautiful!😍 God bless your family!💕🙏🏾

[@islandbound3]

Congratulations mama!! We had our first on August 24th and are loving every minute with him. October 19th is a great day, and happens to be my birthday! It’s so interesting to hear hospital experiences that are different from hospital to hospital, state to state. We were only allowed 2 guests the whole time, 1 of which was my husband and the other my mom, but we couldn’t switch them out, so had to wait until we were out of the hospital for the rest of our family to meet him.

[@cm7393]

She's precious 💕

[@itsivymiha]

Congratulations you guys! ❤ everything sounds so familiar to me since I got C section as well but all I can say is that the pain and everything will go away! Stay strong and enjoy your newborn 🥰💖

[@cherylrobinson1096]

Great job Mommy and Daddy...beautiful Rumi(god's angel) has made your fam complete. Again Congratulations 💖

[@livlovesh0433]

Congratulations guys! I'm so happy for you ❤ wishing the best for your little family

[@kerihedquist5170]

Gurl! C section is no joke…I had my twins via C section. So happy about that! Your whooo ha will thank you!! 😂 Funny story… bringing the babies home my parents wanted to stay and “help.” We set the boys down in their crib admiring our miracles! The fire alarm goes off! My mom burnt the pizza!!! I swear my boys were going to be deaf! My dad is lounging on the couch asking my husband for a tuna sandwich 🥪 I was going up and down the stairs had a complete meltdown/pain. Long story short…I kicked them out to a hotel! 😂 Enjoy ALL the moments! My boys are almost 16. I’d give anything to go back!! ❤ So excited for your family!!! Congratulations

[@moonu87]

Wow.. probably first time commenting on your channel. I’ve been warching your videos for years. Thank you so much for sharing your birth story this openly. I’m not even planning on having a baby anytime soon lol but still I appreciate this so much!!!!!!❤❤

Big congrats to you

[@harryisamuggle]

Haven’t been watching Ash lately but came on her channel just to check if she popped and she did!!!!!!! Congratulations my love!!! That little cutie patootie is pure love ❤❤❤❤

[@lifewithlacy7190]

Congratulations on your baby girl. She is absolutely beautiful. How lucky that your hospital has a baby nursery. With my last daughter I had preeclampsia so I had been in the hospital for over a month on bed rest. I was on 24 monitors and they still had to come in and check my blood pressure every few hours so I got no sleep it felt like. As soon as I fell asleep it seems like a nurse was coming in to check my blood pressure’s or someone was coming in to adjust my monitor because the baby had moved. So by the time I went into labor I was very glad because that meant I would be going home but she never left my room. They even bathed her in my room. My husband was great with getting up handing her to me so I could nurse her but he had spent every night at the hospital with me so he was exhausted too. He would just pick up dinner after work and come directly to the hospital and then shower there in the morning and then leave for work. It was a long month and some days. Books are the only thing that kept me sane because I wasn’t even allowed to attend the craft classes or anything else they offered because I was only allowed out of my bed to use the restroom. But she made it here safely so I won’t complain. One thing I did learn is that when having a baby packing adult diapers is a life saver. Glad someone told me that before I had her. Just size up so they aren’t rich around your incision if you have one. Once again congrats! 💕💕💕

[@kgl868]

This delivery story was so cute and funny but mostly Beautiful. Watching you guys for many years and seeing these transitions in your lives is really special.🥰 I'm so glad you both had a wonderful experience and supportive family to help you guys step into parent hood. ❤ .. ps .. not jump kick the lady in her head ?! 🤣🤣🤦🏿‍♀️

She's such a pretty baby! I've had 2 cesarean sections. Not much fun... but it had to happen. I was able to take care of my personal care... but like you, needed alot of help with so many other things. My 2nd pregnancy was twins... that was a whole different story!

Congratulations to both of you! Maybe in the next video you can talk a little about the hospital bag? Sending love!

[@handymom9039]

Thank you! I had an emergency C-section with my son almost 4 years ago. It, like yours, was a blessing in disguise. The umbilical cord was wrapped around his foot 3 times and he was “sunny side up”. I’ll be having a scheduled C-section in about 2 months and it’s good to hear that some of the side effects of medication and the procedure are not unusually. I barely remember my son’s birth and I mostly thought it was due to being in labor through the night before and getting little sleep then being given extra medications for the surgery. At least I know now that this is not unusual and to plan ahead for it. I also hadn’t done a great job shaving either. I don’t know why I figured that planing to have a vaginal delivery, I didn’t expect there to be that much attention to the detail down there from so many people in the room. 😂 I attempted to have my husband shave me but I hadn’t seen the area in several months to inspect the work. 🤣

Thick skin is good I think, sign of health. It might even mean any stretch marks will be less. My skin was so thin that it was hard for the doctors to sew me back together. Glad everything went so well.

Was your baby "Frank breech"? My granddaughter and my grandson were both C-Section, and both were breech. They were tested very soon after birth, they were both fine except their little legs were straight up in the air.Both are healthy and happy! It wasn''t long before they came down. Congratulations to you and your Family!
