Sending you ALL the good vibes for your next labor! So happy to hear Severine is developing wonderfully after all the worries for her. You are our Real Addams Family, So much love to you all! You should do some family photo Halloween cards like boring people do for Christmas. :D

Congratulations! I'm a boy mom. Both my boys are adults, and my oldest gave me a grandson 4 years ago. From my understanding, boys are easier, yet harder to find cute clothes for.

I usually hate "unique" names but Montrose is actually a good name, and Monty is an easy nickname for both a child and a grown adult.

In my lifetime I've heard 2 non-horror birthing stories. One was lucky, the other was a natural water birth. Congratulations for surviving, Queen! 🖤

[@Sophie_Cleverly]

I had a pre-planned c-section due to my health conditions and it went great! (Recovery was horrific though...) I would say out of my friends and family it's been quite split between horror stories and chill planned c-sections. I guess I know a lot of other people with health conditions which might be why the latter is so high. I do know a couple of people who've had the nice water birth experience but it's definitely the minority.

[@dannettec4261]

I have a non horror birthing story. I was induced at 9pm Friday night, woke up at 4am Saturday morning and at 7.13am my son was on my chest. Barely painful and easy.

[@twistedstich]

@@Sophie_Cleverly this counts as a horror story if you're recovery was terrible, sorry.

[@ajd8558]

That's probably because people only really talk about the horror stories more. Most births go just fine - otherwise we wouldn't have survived as a species.

[@AWindy94]

It's definitely not discussed enough how horrifying birth is, even with modern medicine. Majority of births do not go according to plan, And many end up having severe complications that without Western medicine would lead to death or physical trauma to to the child and/or the mother. If you had a non-horrifying we'll planned birth experience, you are in fact the minority, not the majority.

Good lord, every time I hear about birth stories I’m horrified. You’re amazing for living through all that, and congratulations on Montrose!

[@chrystalteal4171]

I have had 5 kids. All of them naturally, I absolutely refuse to ever have an epidural! Labor is my favorite part of being pregnant. I get to basically show off how easy it is. I don't make any noise during labor and always stay in control. My 4 boys were all born in a bed, my last labor was in water (2020 and I was sad the family couldn't be there) and I had a girl. I never find out gender before birth with any of my kids. Labor is not a horror and it saddens me when others act like it is traumatic. (My first baby was born when I was 18, doctor induced because he had vacation plans. I was on a pitocin drip, needed an episiotomy, and still never screamed or broke any hands.) Movies and shows give an unrealistic expectation that is is a scary and painful event. All about your mindset!

[@valzelle]

I'm glad both of you are ok. Congrats on the new member of the family ☺️. I have been following your content for some time and it really makes me happy see all of this and that you share this little bit of your life with us, like I seriously take your word from time to time and it has helped me so much. So I'm a physician, so to say about the difference between what they saw in the scans and when your baby was born, sadly it's somewhat common that it can happen, we can see a very big baby in the scans and on the time of birth get a pretty average percentile baby or in some cases we can see a normal baby in the scans and on the time of birth have to change gears quickly because that baby is so big not even a episiotomy will help. Sadly it can be many factors that can affect the measurements, the principal one is that an ultrasound is a study that's operator dependent, meaning that according to the knowledge and schooling of the technician or radiologist it can vary. Also if the machine it's old or hasn't had a good maintenance it can affect the results. You also had gestational diabetes, that by it self is a factor that can lead to a big baby, adding that you had a hard time getting your glucose on control even when following all of your doctor's orders. So I think this what made them say " ok, the scans say there is a big baby, the mom has GDM, she is going to have a big baby there is no doubt", but what has me little miffed is that knowing and everything"pointing" to a big baby why in the name of Hades they didn't plan accordingly, like it's marvelous that your baby was smaller and you had a "optimal" delivery, but like you had to suffer so much, making me almost sure that even with the epidural you would have still been in pain and suffering for more de 90 minutes the "I can't do this moment". If you decide to have more baby's I hope that you have a better experience, with both momma and baby being healthy and safe. Sending a huge hug from Mexico.

[@silktish]

I just found your channel and I love it! Thank you for sharing your birth story. My beebs are all grown now, but they all have their own war story.

[@CopmalaHaggis]

I had my first naturally, was induced with my 2nd for the same reason as you. I had gestational diabetes and all the scans said my baby was off the charts massive. My 36 week growth scan which I had early at 35 weeks, his head was measuring 43 weeks. He came out a completely normal, 7p13oz with a normal sized head. My water broke and I didn't progress so they put me on the drip to start contractions, nothing was happening so they nurses got permission to cranm up the drip super high and it was the most excruciating pain I have ever felt in my life. I felt like I was being tore in half. I wanted to lay down but it hurt more than standing up. My blood pressure completely plummeted and I passed out, a bunch of nurses and drs burst in, threw me on the bed and stuck an oxygen mask on me. I ended up getting an epidural and it was pure bliss, I managed to sleep for a few hours. I tried to push but I couldn't feel a thing and bub ended up turning so he was face up and also was not down far enough on my cervix so I got rushed off for an emergency c section. It was the most horrendous experience and I am pregnant again 😅 I am going straight for a scheduled c section this time, no way in hell am I getting induced again. Congrats on your little guy!

[@courthulhu]

Montrose is a beautiful name -- I had the hardest time trying to think of names for if I had a son, but I did end up having a daughter (her name is Lillia.) When I was pregnant with her, it took a long time to show any sign of going into labor. They told me repeatedly that if I did not start by ~40 weeks, I would be induced. The prospect made me so anxious that I must have willed myself to go into labor, because it happened the morning before I was scheduled. 😅 Woke up with contractions at 5:30 am, and arrived at the hospital at 8:30 at 8cm already. I had time to labor in the room's bathtub, but very suddenly knew that if i stayed in there, that was where the baby would be born -- so I ended up walking across the room and giving birth dripping wet and naked much to the surprise of the medical students I signed off on allowing to watch the birth for educational purposes. 😅 My daughter was born at 10:30am with no issues (though she was also face-up). She was also much smaller than they had predicted. I was very lucky. I am always amazed to hear other peoples' stories.

[@Eskapismus]

Lillia is a beautiful name! ❤

[@darkprincess000jk]

As a diabetic I know exactly how it felt being pregnant and diabetic. I had to test my blood sugar 7 times a day and had to inject insulin 4 times a day. I was also induced with my daughter (whom you have met with me, she still talks about it lol). I was told she would be 8-8 and a half pounds but she was only 7 pounds 5 ounces. My girl was spine against mine for the first hour and it was horrible, I couldn't even think to ask for pain relief so I did it all without pain relief. She came out with her hand on her head as well so it was a rather nasty tear that took them awhile to stitch up. They told me the next time they were shocked I wasn't taken to the or because I was close to needing a blood transfusion and meanwhile I was just laying there smiling at my daughter, none the wiser lol. I adore the name and the reason behind it. My kids names have meaning behind them as well which makes me love their names even more.

Sorry to hear you had another rough birth experience. I was induced for both of mine and just like you, refused epidural. They failed to get a drip in me so why would I trust them near my spine?! Although I never got the natural labour to compare it with I am sure it's far more brutal than it needs to be. I actually set my 2nd one up though cos my 1st was overdue and 9lb 11 - they said at all my appointments she was going to be tiny! Probably only because I was 17 - so I 'arranged' for my 2nd to be a couple of weeks early to avoid her getting too big (she was 8lb 5.5 so good call?). No forceps, no ventouse... but I did get retained membranes which led to a vet-shoulder-deep-in-a-cow scenario that still brings tears to the eyes almost a quarter century later. Best wishes to you all xxx

You had me dieing laughing when you said my pain tolerance is pretty high but this is some next level shit... you are not kidding I'm due at the end of June and that pain is the one thing I'm not looking forward too. I do not want the epidural this time either so it's going to be the gas for me as well... thanks for making this video, now I don't feel so alone in my birthing experiences... and inductions suck sorry you haven't been able to experience a natural labor. They are less painful than an induction I was in labor for 36 hours with my first with an induction and pre-eclampsia... worst birthing experience so far... hopefully this delivery isn't like that one.

[@shyanne_dawn]

I had my first baby in the last year, and the whole experience was so weird (but thankfully easy) Congratulations for surviving such a ordeal!

[@upsetti6404]

Congratulations, however I am sorry you had to go through that, you're a f**king trooper. Hope you and the wee one are doing alright. Also the NHS is great up here in Scotland! Glad you got to experience it, also, brilliant name xD

[@films_by_jo]

I'm so glad you are all healthy and doing well! Birth is so indescribably difficult and has definitely put me off ever having another 😂 well done you!!! I hope your kiddos have a lifetime of happiness and love 🖤💜

[@amyleefan85]

Montrose .... that's just awsome. Never heard of that name but it's really awesome.

[@Superkellydoll]

Literally so happy for you. Congrats on Monty! They got a great mom and dad. Wishing you so much health and happiness ❤

[@themoonflowerfaerie]

I’m so sorry you had such a hard time with your delivery 😞. I thought I had a hard time, but you definitely beat me. I am happy though that you have your little darling darkling now. So nice to see you again sweetie 💜💜🦇

[@cruisematt8585]

Montrose is actually the name of a haunted house experience near where I live! Congratulations. Childbirth is excruciating but completely worth it ❤

[@roseyherber]

Congratulations, so happy for you and your family. My labour story, I went into labour naturally, after 24 hrs and me begging for a C-section, I had one, and after being told I was going to have a normal sized baby, turned out to be 13lbs or 6kg, he's my only one, and he's 13 now.

[@kirabowie]

Congrats on the birth of your son! He's a beautiful name! I wish lil Monty well and lots of love and happiness! 🖤

Montrose is a wonder name! Congratulations on your little one! ❤

[@livingauthenticallyonmyownterm]

Awww guys, Congratulations!!! I’m so glad you’re all ok. Welcome to the world Montrose Cyril!!! ❤❤❤

[@LucyLouuuuu]

its never too late for a c section, especially if your lad hadn’t descended yet (but props to you for going through all that without an epidural!) my poor mum went through 52 HOURS of labour, i was breeched and my head was too big to fit through her pelvic bone. my mum is 5’1” tall and weighed about 130lbs, but i was a 9lbs 1oz baby. my younger sister was 9,3 but by that go around my mum didn’t even attempt a natural birth.

[@Midgee89]

Oh love, when you said about the anxiety and epidural being a no-go I felt that! My first baby I worked in the surgery unit as a desk clerk and they had to wheel me down to women's in absolute tears because I was freaking out because I was trying to do all these charts and keep track who was going to what cubicle because it was a super busy day with people having surgeries and I couldn't keep track of my contractions and people coming out of the OR. So by the time I got to women's and they finally got an accurate blood pressure (I kept contracting while they were getting the blood pressure) and decided to keep me, I was just done. So I get to my room, my husband is there, I'm so emotionally spent I'm like sure yeah epidural sounds great - except again terrified of needles. I'm 4 ft 11.5 in, and at this point was 48 inches around, so not only can I not touch the floor with the bed the whole way down, I don't have much in the way of positioning myself, and the anesthesiologist who was doing the epidural was maybe 2 inches taller than me and across the bed to do the epidural. He's getting frustrated cause I can't get my back into the position he needs, I'm now freaking out, my husband offered to pull me back across the bed closer, but the anesthesiologist was like no. This is now a 30 minute process, and he ended up having to open a 2nd epidural kit and he finally told my husband yea pull her back towards him (the anesthesiologist). Night went well, got woken up at 5am so they could break my water (I now know what a stuffed turkey feels like at Thanksgiving), and then spent 3 hours from 10am to 1:13pm actively pushing. Because of the epidural I couldn't feel my contractions, so my sister would look at the monitor and tell me when to push. I went from cute polite little human to intense I will beat the snot out of you for looking at me human. Told my husband to shut up, and then my sister got quiet because she thought she should also not talk and I yelled at her to tell me when to push. Nurses put a bar up and gave me a sheet to pull on with my feet up on the bar, husband said I had the sheet so taut he was waiting for it to shred and every vein on my arms looked like I was roid raging. Get all the way to the end, baby is finally on his way out, delivery doctor (who literally is only there to catch at the end) shows up, tells me 3 more pushes, everyone in the room repeats that, and then he goes that's not what I said and everyone else in the room turns on him and is like yeah, you DID. Then he decided he wants the midwife to play catcher and tells ME to WAIT and I just bellow IM NOT WAITING!!! My sister said he gave him a look that said either you catch or I do and the murder you. Deliver Rowan, they put him on my chest, but I can't enjoy him because now they're touching me down below, I had a 2nd degree tear and I'm fighting them as they are trying to examine the damage. They had to knock my ass out to sew me up! It was well worth it in the end. As super round as I was, Rowan was only a tiny 6 lb 13 oz creature, he's 4 now. We are having another in October and I'm hoping the universe will be kind and make this next one an easier labor process 😂. Enjoy your babies, they grow soooo fast and become sassy preschoolers. I'm sorry you guys have had a rough go with travel and housing, but hopefully one day they can be memories that you can chuckle at. Glad to see you are well now! ❤

First off CONGRATULATIONS!! I really do love his name. It's unique and a little gothic. My birth story was similar to yours, except I am actually fully diabetic. I didn't not have the epidural because of my panic as well, but I'm not afraid of needles, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get out of bed. I got induced because my daughter had hydronephrosis. Which is liquid in her kidney that shouldn't be there. At 39 weeks I went in. For hours I was like, this is nothing. Then they broke my water. HOLY FUCK. It went from 20 to 180 as the pain scale. I was begging for that needle, but it was to late. I gave birth to a healthy little girl a few hours later. They put her in my arms and I only got a few minutes with her before I started to feel like shit. The doctor called for help and a moment later five nurses were rushing in and out getting things the doctor ordered as needed. Then they started pushing on my stomach to get me to stop bleeding. I am not a violent person, but I bruised the arm of the nurse who was doing it to me because she didn't warn me she was going to do it and she didn't tell me why she was doing it. I almost punched her, the doctor spared her from it when she finally explained that I was bleeding to much. They took the baby and ushered my husband out of the room. More monitors were strapped to me, I spiked a fever. I got oxygen. I was given more vials of medicine through my IV in my hand than I could count. My blood pressure was stroke level. One of the vials they gave me was pain medicine and it made me violently ill. So I was vomiting and bleeding everywhere. It took about an hour and a half for them to stitch me up and get me to stop bleeding. Eventually they got everything under control and then the shivers started. They tossed a headed blanket, turned off all the lights, closed the curtains and let me calm the fuck down. I was vaguely aware when my husband came back and he told me the baby was alright as he ran his fingers through my hair to help me calm down. Six hours and a private room later I got to hold my daughter again and oh boy did I cry.

[@chelsiebain3952]

Congrats Black Friday and Mr. Owl!! I LOVE the names you pick out for both your babies! 🖤

[@Gigiptv]

I love his name! I had my first at 18 and I also had gestational diabetes but I had a normal unmedicated birth since I was only in labor for 4 hours😅I drank lots of red raspberry leaf tea near the end of my pregnancy and ate dates. They say those help with dilating quicker idk if it's true or I just got lucky.

[@s.a.g.8131]

Amazing! I can't imagine going through all that. I haven't had a baby but stories like this scare the heck out of me. I love your sons name, BTW.

[@chrystalteal4171]

I have had 5 kids. All of them naturally, I absolutely refuse to ever have an epidural! Labor is my favorite part of being pregnant. I get to basically show off how easy it is. I don't make any noise during labor and always stay in control. My 4 boys were all born in a bed, my last labor was in water (2020 and I was sad the family couldn't be there) and I had a girl. I never find out gender before birth with any of my kids. Labor is not a horror and it saddens me when others act like it is traumatic. (My first baby was born when I was 18, doctor induced because he had vacation plans. I was on a pitocin drip, needed an episiotomy, and still never screamed or broke any hands.) My biggest baby was my 4th son and he was 8 pounds 9 ounces. Movies and shows give an unrealistic expectation that is is a scary and painful event. All about your mindset!

[@s.a.g.8131]

@@chrystalteal4171 sounds like you are very fortunate to have had such positive and easy experiences giving birth. Good for you. However, not every pregnancy is the same and many women clearly have had the opposite experience and their experience is just as valid as your experience. In case you're not aware, thousands of women all over the world die giving birth. Maternal mortality has decreased drastically since the age of modern medicine however, it was prevalent prior to the mid-20th century and it is still prevalent in third world countries today. So, history has shown us that giving birth isn't easy for everyone.

[@AndieAnimosity]

I'm so glad everything turned out well! I could never have a baby myself. It sounds horrifying and my anxiety is so bad I couldn't put myself through labor. I admire your bravery in going through something so scary to get something wonderful out of it that you want very much! I'm destined to only be an animal mom, but that's ok with me. I love how different all of our life journeys can be! 💜

@@chrystalteal4171 I have not experienced labor for myself, but it sounds like you are blessed in that regard, which is great! Because of how awful some people have it though, I really don't want to know what it can feel like. It is one of my biggest fears!

[@Anarchy_Angel94]

​@@chrystalteal4171 You're so lucky, I almost died during mine. Wish all pregnancies were easy, but sadly they're not.

[@CeeGeeFursuits]

​@@chrystalteal4171go take care of your kids. Literally do anything else. Go away. Shut up

[@GalaxyElfJess]

With as rough as your story was I'm still happy you have another precious baby and I enjoy hearing your birth stories ❤ you don't skimp on any of the details and that's really helpful!

[@worstmusicproduction]

Congratulations and thank you for sharing your story 🖤 You’re both heroes surviving this

[@joolienyan]

Me and my fiance are trying to have at least one baby. I had a miscarriage a few years ago and it broke my heart... but we're still trying! 😂 Your story telling skills are just awesome. No details left behind. Severine and Montrose sound like a cool duo ❤❤❤

[@fabiwilliams4644]

Daily folic acid & take your temperature daily to work out exactly when you ovulate. That's what worked for me

[@Violet-qf8dr]

Also, raspberry leaf tea is great for the uterus. I have a friend who tried for 12 years, with a few miscarriages, who had a successful pregnancy after adding raspberry leaf tea to her daily routine. I drank the tea during my pregnancies as well. Good luck.

[@racheljames7]

I can't believe you'd just had a baby in this video. You look fantastic. Of course, all new mothers are beautiful. But kudos for getting you amazing makeup on.
