Thank you for being real , we need more mothers that are happy to mention all the real stuff !!

[@MBounceLikeTigger]

Thank you for keeping the comments open. It’s nice to be able to read other peoples suggestions and experiences.

[@missnazstylee]

great video! so important to talk about postpartum issues and get that info out there! i was so clueless after giving birth about so many things and the entire process it takes to heal your body afterwards ! keep the convo going ! 👍👏

[@thepoeticone9739]

You’re a life saver...I just had an emergency C section a week ago and this video was really helpful ❤️☺️

[@motherloveherb]

Thank you for the mention, Mama! Nipple Cream from Motherlove is organic, lanolin-free, & doesn’t need to be wiped off prior to breastfeeding 💙 So happy you found our Nipple Cream helpful during your postpartum journey!

[@PaolaMaritza]

Your video was soooooo helpful. I’m 30 weeks and starting to wonder about what I need for the big day and what to pack in my hospital bag. Thanks for being honest and saying things like they truly are. Hugs! - Paola

[@SusanYara]

Paola Maritza Good luck!

[@cocoalove18]

Stool softener. YES! I also had an emergency c-section, and experienced the "poop of death" the next day 😱 I swore that I had died and resurrected. I'm due again in March 2020 🙄

[@bertdellestep1215]

cocoalove18 I’m due March 2020 too. This is #4 for me and I’ve never had a c-section. Women that do scare me so bad. Like who are YOU. You got your whole abdomen cut open and stitched back up and ARE WALKING HOURS LATER? NAH. 😭😭😂

[@cocoalove18]

@@bertdellestep1215 😂😂😂 I know right! I didn't walk til 24 hours later, and needed help from a nurse, spaghetti legs! Had to support my wound area too, yuck! I felt completely healed after about 10 months, and my scar is numb. Great times, SMH....

[@beckakim]

Subscribed! God knows I need all the advice as a soon-to-be mama. Thank you for taking the time to explain everything.

[@SusanYara]

Rebecca Kim Good luck with everything! 👍❤️

[@sjadan86]

I love love love your channel!!! Every video I have watched has helped me....and I've already had a baby! Sometimes there is just things you don't think about even on the second time around. Thank you for the information!

[@dr.ayeshaaftab9765]

Susan you are great. I just delivered my son three days back and you are helping me a lot.

[@kingmomma353]

Omg thank you for this video. I am about 4 weeks post-cesarean after having my daughter and I live in my robe and sweat pants because I’m so swollen! Just now starting to see the swelling diminish. All of the products you mentioned are definite essentials! Thanks you for this video!

[@Pati85]

I really like your channel. You get straight to the point. I'm having my baby in one month and have followed many of your recommendations.

[@comfyera]

Thanks so much for making this video! I don't have babies yet but appreciate the honesty as it makes me feel more prepared for what's to come. ❤

[@NM_18E]

For me, a soft clothed nursing dress, a sleeping nursing bra, and a nipple cream saved my life!!! Thank you for recommending Motherlove which I purchased after I watched your previous video. And my Burts Bees tinted lip balm!

[@SusanYara]

Ness Mendiola I’m so glad you tried it! It’s a good nipple cream.

[@PinUpMary1]

Love You for Your honesty Susan ! I am 13weeks pregnant now, and I look for any helpfull videos and blogs but one thing that I notice is that most of the KZbinrs sugarcoated their motherhood. When I watch You I feel as I talk with a good friend 😍Thanks for help!

[@allisonmccully738]

Make sure you have hemorrhoid cream, stool softener and laxative for when things really get hard. Literally. No joke. 🙃

[@lovemajka647]

All this info is SO valuable! Thank you! 💕

[@DeeDeeDeeLu]

Seriously, so much truth!

[@samtbegay]

thank you! I have 2 days until my due date and I needed this video! 😊🙌

[@SusanYara]

SAMTBEGAY Woohoo! Good luck! ❤️

[@SusanYara]

I don't see a lot of videos on this topic, but it's so important to talk about! These products were a life saver for me after I had Nikash, and I hope they help you too! Here's what I'm wearing on my lips: bit.ly/2OQV42E and bit.ly/2OVcnzA

[@lexidtrofgod]

Ah! What is this song? It’s beautiful! Thank you for the video! 14 day count down till baby girl 🎀

[@madeluseestilodevida6461]

Would you recommend other products now that you have been there for a second time? Did you tried the Frida mom products if so would you recommend them?

[@esthervang86]

I’m 37 weeks and I’m so glad this video came out!

[@durreshahwardua9059]

Thanks it is way more helpful to know these things from beforehand 😍

[@Bee__474]

I brought a some sweats like that off amazon very comfortable especially after giving birth you don’t want anything tight on you.

[@ForAllMoms]

So much truth!!

[@fashionwithfatimazahra]

For the leacking, the best solution is perineal physio(kind of a massage) not sure if it exist in the state but it's normal in France or french speaking countries, all my friends who gave birth swear by it

[@Almarosarivera]

Damn, thank you for reminding me of the stool softener! I completely forgot! Amazing realistic video. 💖

[@Jenna-mw9nr]

That robe is so pretty!!

[@evitaevita98]

Where is your necklace from?

[@Jennii806]

Much needed video!! Thanks so much !!

[@magda476]

I am 15 rn and like 6 months ago I didn't know post-partum exists And I was taught about birth sex etc twice at school and it has never been mentioned I learned from an honest person like you Thanks for being honest we need people like you

[@bertdellestep1215]

Ugh. I had my first when I was 17 and I was blind sided. Sex ed, and the education system seriously failed so hard with these topics. 😪

[@anastasiiab7012]

Mala I’m learning stuff in my twenties lol

[@DanielaHernandez-ny4il]

Love your channel! Having my first baby in July! ♥️👌🏽

[@0000AT]

When you take stool softeners, it gets you a little gassy before you actually go and if you gave birth (wether c-section or vaginal) it hurtss. Those gases sometimes don’t come out right away and it feels like an electric shock. What to do ?

[@Manara111111]

the most realistic advises

[@taliberi2046]

My mom brought me prunes! I ate a few every day and worked like a charm 👌🏽

[@berryberry8590]

I love your top! What is it?

[@walaekourani6357]

How soon after c section did u apply the biocorneum ointment?

[@JaFlorendo]

Unrelated to the video, i just saw your hair 3 years ago it was lighter and i think it suits u better. So pretty.

[@Vanessa-sy4rd]

Hi Susan ! I love your videos! I started watching them when I was on my third trimester and now I have an 8 month old. I have learned a lot of tricks from your videos. Very helpful information. Thank you! I was also wondering if you are going to talk postpartum belly, and some options to help it tighten again. There are not many videos on KZbin about this topic. Except about how to fix it with working out and using body sharpers. I wanted to know what is your take on this? ✨✨Thank u again for your videos, they are so helpful! 🤩💕💕Have an amazing day !

[@elizabethblanford8569]

Vany Lopez maybe a binder? I've never had a baby so I can't really say but I've heard about them

[@SusanYara]

Vany Lopez I’m making a video soon! But I’ll say, the mother tucker leggings I mentioned here helped a little.

[@Vanessa-sy4rd]

Susan Yara aaaahhh you actually replied 😱😆! Okay ! I will be on the lookout for the new vid 💕💕😬. Thank u so much for your vids ! 😃✨

[@6rockinrobin]

WONDERFUL!!! Thank you so much!!

[@erikaeyasvergara6175]

im giving birth tomorrow and as always your videos are so helpful.:)

[@SusanYara]

Celticsgirl Aika Good luck!! ❤️

[@aninditaanggraeni6339]

I actually wore those wraps it is called 'gurita' here in in Indonesia.

[@christinas6528]

Yes!!! I brought depends to the hospital for postpartum bleeding. I ended up having an emergency c-section & while i didn't have much bleeding, these were still helpful because they're large, stretchy, absorbent & just easy.

[@SusanYara]

Christina S It felt like I lived in Depends. 🙈

[@lauren8627]

Yep me too. I loved them way too much!

[@indigoluna1080]

Do you need to size up in a robe for tje third trimester and post partum?

[@prettylittleinvestor]

LOL, everything was smooth… You are keeping it real in this video 😂

[@alicia11kong]

I know this question is irrelevant to this video but I have to ask, what lipstick or gloss were you wearing in this video? It’s so pretty

[@SusanYara]

alicia11kong I’ll have to check!

[@connieblack9833]

Very helpful!

[@mahamaher6308]

Very helpful.. I wish i have seen this before i gave birth..thank u very much.. And i love ur lip stick btw its perfect😍💄

[@misspika9851]

Beauty code her lip injection is beautiful

[@katiegraczyk5759]

'Do you still need to wear the diapers?' :P So funny!

[@khadijahaider2221]

I personally did not need some of these things after delivering my baby. A big water bottle is a good idea. Stool softener helped a lot post delivery.

[@SusanYara]

Khadija Haider It’s true. Everyone is different. But the stool softener is key! Haha

[@hoisansio1099]

I had a vaginal birth and dermoplast spray, prune juice saved my life

[@sydrey]

Additional product suggestions - and thank you for your video! your candid approach was really refreshing! 1. breast milk collection cups - these can be slipped into your bra on the opposite side you are feeding baby on to collect milk that wants to escape from the unoccupied breast! 2. silverettes - instead of a nipple cream you can use silver nipple covers, they are amazing 3. eye mask - sleeping when baby is sleeping can be difficult, an eye mask can be life changing. I never used them before babies and I use them all the time now 4. electric heating pad - you can bring this to the hospital to ease delivery, use it to warm babies bassinet before (removing it) and putting baby inside, and ease early postpartum discomforts (obvs dont apply heating pad to baby) 5. clip on book light - these are meant for reading at night but I used them for nighttime feedings since they can clip to anything and the light is adjustable and intended for focus on a single book page - it is focused enough not to disturb my partner 6. handheld bidet sprayer for the toilet - this can be easily installed by yourself or the handy-person in your family, it is a lifesaver for cleanliness postpartum and can be used for enema as well if you are blocked up and didn't take any stool softener

[@emmahill2973]

I find it hard to believe you didn’t hear about the peeing because it my mom and sisters most mentioned thing. They were constantly asks if I had started peeing a bit laughing,coughing or sneezing.

[@vikkisunflower8899]

Love your honesty!

[@rubiaafzashariff3751]

Hey Susan I love your videos But I have been eagerly waiting for your workout routine and diet postpartum and how you shed your weight Please make a video on that Thank you

[@SusanYara]

Rubia afza Shariff A lot of people have been asking. I’ll post a video soon!

[@krystled7048]

omg yes to the stool softener!! nobody told me anything about that and guess what it felt like i gave birth twice in 2 days. 🤣

[@SusanYara]

Krystle D Exactly!!

[@allisonmccully738]

Or worse, getting hemroids. Yea, not fun. 😶

[@leslygamez7942]

I had a c-section and when i was able to go to bathroom, God and my husband knows (he was there lol) how painful it was a cried like a baby

[@catelynscoffeebooksasmr62]

You poor honey lol One word. Hemorrhoids 😆

[@bertdellestep1215]

The lanolin they use at the hospital is either medela or lansinoh and it’s ONLY lanolin fresh off the sheep and purified to remove bacteria and such. It’s as nice as it comes truthfully. No extra oils, just lanolin. It’s fantastic.

[@nehaagrawal1730]

Thank you! Your videos are so helpful! :)

[@lunastella2323]

I agree with most things mentioned here (since I've used them too)... But...I disagree that lactation teas and cookies are a gimmic. There are ingredients that do help with lactation (you have to be an informed consumer). Nothing is a 'one size fits all' ..But... to call it a gimmic is inaccurate.

[@adorabell4253]

None of them have been proven to help lactation. What does help is the placebo effect. If it helps you then keen using them but there is no scientific evidence that proves that certain ingredients help with lactation which is why they cannot be recommended on a public youtube channel.

[@bertdellestep1215]

A lot of them are gimmicks. Like. A LOT.

[@JJ-yu6og]

"Don't worry. This is brand new. I have not used them." Roflol.

[@SusanYara]

Jojo Jo 🤣🤣🤣

[@Tamika182]

whattttt.... my husband's opinion won't matter after giving birth lool.... imma wear the depends diapers for as long as i need to

[@honeybun3417]

Okaaaaaay!!! Shoot ! After carrying a baby nine months we still have to put up with all the body changes still occurring....his opinion would be the last to even worry about lol

[@butterbean3018]

It's my birthday 🎂🎉

[@elizabethblanford8569]

Rebekah M happy birthday!!

[@SusanYara]

Rebekah M Happy birthday!

[@sarab8618]

these are good videos but there are so many affiliate links in all of them that it makes me question it all honestly

[@almadelia412]

If you have a vaginal birth i recommend a squirt bottle to help wash your vagina when you use the toilet!! If you plan on breastfeeding i recommend nursing bras. 🙂

[@catelynscoffeebooksasmr62]

NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THE PEEING. 10 years ago.. Omgosh.. 10 years.. Holy crap lol anyway, my family and most families don't talk about anything like that.

[@catelynscoffeebooksasmr62]

One word. Hemorrhoids😬😬😪😭😢😂😂🤣🤣

[@VeronicaSheyla]

So I basically have to become a millionaire to buy any of these postpartum items...lol just get some depends underwear, put some aloe Vera gel and witch hazel and your set. Everything else (except nipple cream) is nice but unnecessary😒

[@jessicamagallanes2346]

Noooo don't do it! Don't get aloe vera gel and witch hazel!!! Those have alcohol in them. That will burn your vajayjay. Lol

[@honeybun3417]

Why the alone vera and witch hazel ?? I'm currently pregnant due in 3 months...I havent heard this before I'm curious. First time mommy here. Highly appreciate all tips and suggestions I can take

[@adorabell4253]

@@jessicamagallanes2346 Just buy some aloe leaves and smoosh the insides into a paste.

[@bertdellestep1215]

Witch hazel is fine as long as it’s actual witch hazel.
