Our third BIRTH STORY - C-Section after VBAC | Pregnancy + Birth After Loss

We just gave birth to our third earthside baby and wanted to share our birth story for anyone that has ever experienced a C-Section after a VBAC. The birth was not an easy one but it was by far the best experience we have had as we got to bring home our rainbow baby to our two sweet little girls.

Shall we do a video with the girls next and share how they feel about having a little brother? 🥹😅

[@R.Z_09]

Yess!! ❤😂😂

[@hannahnygaard8404]

Yes, please!

[@lilydrew800]

Yes please ❤️😊

[@Wendy-jy5zp]

Yes, definitely 💖

[@amritachawla01]

Yess please

[@whiteboardari]

i love that while Will knows about pregnancy and labour, he also knows when to step back and let Sana take the helm. it really seems like the bare minimum, but so many fathers don’t really understand what’s going into the creation of their child. Will, your respect for your wife and family is so admirable, and your ability to ease a difficult situation with humour is such a blessing. I’d say Baruch Hashem, but i think you’d understand better if i say “Alhamdulillah.”

[@frosty397]

I wouldn't say that if I were you. Women in Saudi and other nations are not treated as human.

[@Goaway863]

I don’t know much about Islam, but I know about families and how important it is to keep them together. You guys are a great example and I’m enjoying learning more about your culture. Thank you!

[@wilsonfamily322]

So.... I cried with joy for ya'll. Your family has taught our family so much about Islam. I am just beyond happy for your blessing and look forward to hearing from your girls about their brother. Praying for and loving you all. Carla from Texas.🥰

[@deeaye3509]

Please everyone Pray for me!!! I’ve just had a miscarriage and I’ve been in so much emotional pain. I’m 35 years old now and starting to worry 😢 Very happy for you, congratulations Salah Family your story gives me hope especially after everything you went through!!! ❤

[@SalehFamily]

We are so terribly sorry for your loss, sending so many prayers to you 🥺

[@deeaye3509]

Thank you very much, that means a lot ❤

[@dreawakening]

Sending you prayers and love

[@shaidasadiq959]

May Allah swt bless you with afiyah ameen 🤲🏼

[@tasneemhayati092]

Am so sorry for that,may Allah bless you with another healthy pregnancy and baby

[@alexiss3645]

I really like that you shared this. My husband and I just had our baby he came 8 weeks early and was in NICU. He is my first after 3 miscarriages. We are so blessed to have our sweet boy in our arms

[@user-tu2op6bx4z]

Please don't feel like a failure Sana! I always tell my patients that babies come the way they want to come and in their own time. You brought a beautiful, healthy little boy into this world and you should be very proud of yourself because it is no small feat. God bless you and your beautiful family

[@margaretbrown5683]

Three c-sections here, three gorgeous healthy babies from them. Oldest is 29, middle is 22, youngest is 18. Wouldn’t change a thing.

[@sashabenoit1518]

The way your eyes and face light up Sana when you talk about those special moments, you can really tell how touched you are by them and how much you cherish them! It's truly beautiful to see! 🥰😊

[@TheKombeFamily]

Your daughters literally look like you gave birth to twins!!! They look identical!!! Congratulations on your baby boy!!! I just had a baby boy 5 weeks ago also!!! Yes, my son also has grown sooo fast!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@shellymcdonough6876]

I love how you guys talk to us like friends, so relatable

[@InfectedMindGaming]

The way the girls look at their little brother, that's pure love ❤

[@JDMEP3]

Thank you for being so honest with your birth story! It seems like people don’t really talk about how painful it can be for some woman. I almost needed a C-section after two hours of pushing. I understand the pain you went through. Your baby boy is beyond precious. There’s nothing like having a boy. God bless you💙

[@SallyJ2000]

My son was born on his due date. The day before fathets day. We never thought we could have children so right after our 14th wedding anniversary we were blessed with a son....he too was sunny side up and contractions were every 2 mibutes with no time to breath. Epidural was given and we waited 10 hours before my ob decided on a c-section. My ob was in the hospital napping while waiting. He did not want anyone but him and the nurses there working with me.

[@mairookhan5253]

Asalamoalaykum Will and Sana So happy for you both ماشاالله Many many congrats I had 5 C- Sections, 4 boys and finally my little girl on the 5th one. Allah gave me my beautiful Zaynab. She’s 8 yrs old اٰلحمدلله and is the most beautiful thing that has happened to me. I Pray Yusuf becomes a Hafiz e Quran ان شاءاللہ and a source of you all entering Jannah ( my eldest son is a Hafiz too ). You both are so amazing and so natural together ماشاالله ❤

[@adotasquare8554]

This might sound silly but do you have any tips to have a boy?

[@rosainabennett9085]

Every pregnancy is different- For my first, they also stuck the monitor on my daughter’s head, had a midwife who stuck a large cone like object into me to break my water, Had episiotomy. Second birth I did more reading and asked for epidural as soon as I got to my room! Third and final birth, same took epidural, my lady doctor was wonderful! All three births I threw up as babies came out! All three babies developed jaundice- I treated at home by putting baby next to window for sunlight! Congratulations on your beautiful children! You are so right God is in control best thing to do is pray!

[@phury1188]

My son is going to be 15 soon and this brings up so many memories! Congratulations to y’all and God bless 💛

[@TaliaSC]

As a labor nurse, I very much appreciate hearing this, and the joy it gives me to know how much you and Will both fully understand everything that happened, and why, and that while it may not have been the plan, you took it all in stride. In the end, you and Yusuf were safe and healthy, and that’s what matters! As for the section itself, I am always in awe of what we can do when time is of the essence. Hamdullah, congrats, mashallah!

[@frosty397]

I hope you took your 💉

[@AdelAri-zx1vl]

MasyaALLAH. Semoga menjadi anak-anak yang shaleh/shaleha. Aamiin

[@SalvatoreChick1864]

OB PA student here! One of the main reasons why they have the supporter sit and not watch is becuz so many ppl say they can handle it and they faint. Its reallyy not ideal becuz thats a whole other human you gotta worry about and fill out a report and blah blah lol. So yeah . But im so happy for u guys ! Bismillah mashallah many more blessings to come

[@afraababirye]

these guys are the most authentic KZbin family I've seen. MashAllah keep the honesty coming. your channel will grow InshAllah 🥰

[@carodiez9430]

He's so perfect....I think he looks just like Will.....you guys deserve every bit of happiness with your beautiful family, they now all have an angel watching over them....mashallah

[@SalehFamily]

Thank you ❤️ everyone says he’s a mini Will

[@shaziaali5660]

I love these 2,literally crack me up and to see them talk so simply. WILL is so funny loved his reaction to wen Sana said baby was the most cutest baby iv ever seen. 😂

[@TeeTee-gr4ir]

Your husband's sense of humor makes me laugh! Congratulations on the birth of a healthy, beautiful son! I will have to go watch the videos of his big sister's getting to meet him. Quite new to your channel but I am enjoying it a great deal. Continued prayers that the Lord blesses you as you begin this new chapter!

[@martakociolek]

Thank you for the "you're not pregnant, she's pregnant"!

[@sabatasneem5884]

A small advice, please talk in turns.. I understand that both are equally enthusiastic to share the experience but it's a distraction for the viewers and tend to get a bit turn off. Congratulations to both of you. May Allah SWT bless him with good health 🥰🥳🤩

[@rochelleanderson882]

This is beautiful! I’m so grateful to be able to hear about your precious family and special moments! Sana you did NOT fail! Easier to say that than for you to feel that. Your feelings are heard and valid, but also you did not fail love. You’re an amazing woman and seem to be the best mother! Pregnancy and birth is such a wild and unexpected ride that you can’t predict and you just have to go with the flow. Thank you for sharing with us. I’m so thrilled for your family. Also, I’d love to hear about your birth plan and why you chose the plan and such. It’s so interesting to me! Much love to you all! So much love!!! 💜💜💜

[@mrsjokersknight]

Oh I know that feeling. I have a very traumatic emergency C-section with my 4th baby my rainbow, after 3 easy vaginal deliveries (and two losses). As traumatic as it was and as bad as I felt that I had failed I thank God daily that my daughter was born safe and healthy. And for the nurse who advocated for us and waited to administer Pitocin against the doctors orders. The doctor told me later that there was a high possibility that we would have both been lost if I’d delivered vaginally. Thank you for sharing your incredible story. As a loss mama I am so so happy for your amazing story and your beautiful boy!

[@lisacolledge7624]

I'm 50ish, just wondering how you feel about adoption? (As in me 😊) what a beautiful photo of the 5 of you. Your eldest girl looks so grown up. Can't wait to hear the story, but I definitely wanted to stop and 'wow' at you.❤

[@acatholic9784]

I need to learn secret keeping from you guys. Mothers are so heroic.

[@leandraperdee1031]

You are NOT a failure for having a c section!! I had 4 babies, 3 pregnancies and was told that my bone structure would never let me have children naturally after the first delivery. She was an emergency. My other two pregnancies were scheduled c sections. You have nothing to feel bad about!!!! I’m so happy for you and your new addition!

[@Grouchbox]

Congratulations! Saying a prayer for fast recovery from the C-section and for blessings for you all❤

[@Grouchbox]

@just A guy No, I am happily married for decades

[@lilydrew800]

Thank you for sharing this with us! A 'failure'?! Noo! You did amazing ❤️💪 My birthing experiences were not as difficult as yours have been, and I considered them extremely painful (as of course they are).You rock! 😊

[@mistywhite9023]

i shared your exact story with my son. but then i got pregnant with twins. enjoy your boy

[@sarahjohnson9193]

Oh Will your sense of humour is Brilliant! Thankyou for sharing!

[@chloecrawford5426]

This brings back memories of my csections. In Australia, we have skin to skin immediately in the OR unless Mum or baby needs immediate medical care. Both my boys had their first breastfeed in recovery and we were also left alone. I stayed in hospital for 6 days though in a private room and had the midwives dote on us 😊 they were amazing 👏🏼

[@SalehFamily]

That is absolutely beautiful

[@meymunak2590]

@@SalehFamily is it possible to share wat ur midwife brew she have u take? I’m about to give birth but they trying to have me c-section so I will like to try plz

[@blondieb6946]

My son was born 22 years ago last month, and my birth story was so similar to yours. I was 23 when he was born. I felt like such a failure as well, I got to the hospital that day at 7am, he was born at 851 pm due to preeclampsia and failure to progress. My contractions were very very severe, yet I didn’t dilate at all, not a cm, they stopped Pitocin. I believe they gave me med to counteract the pitocin, It’s been 22 years, I don’t recall exactly. I remember how absolutely beautiful he was, he still is at 22. It was such a hard day, a long day, yet an absolutely wonderful day! I look back at it as such a wonderful time in my life. Although he didn’t sleep through the night for 18 months. My late father (2012) and my late sister (2016) were there with us through labor and hours after he was born. The best day of my life, cherished memories. There is nothing like the day he came into my life. Children are such precious gifts, truly. Congratulations to you’re family!

[@angelabolin1730]

Aww, beautiful family. Congrats on your new bundle of boy. The girls have their unique roles as older siblings. Children are a gift from god and our blessings. Thanks for sharing.

[@designedbyfaiza6668]

mashallah, so happy for you all. loved wills honesty in omitting himself out of the pregnancy label😂

[@user-tu2op6bx4z]

I am so sorry your birth didn't go the way you guys wanted it to go.☹ As a labor nurse my heart always breaks when things don't go as planned. But I am so glad that everyone is safe and thriving. The reason they had Will sit instead of stand is because they didn't want him to pass out 😆 the monitor that goes on top of the baby's head is called a fetal spiral electrode and you're totally correct that it's super accurate when we are monitoring baby.

[@bkessinger94]

It’s crazy that they let you go home so soon!! That’s awesome. In USA, you stay in hospital for like 2-3 days after a c-section.

[@azeezatallen4665]

I am so happy to see you glowing ❤. Each time I watched you after the loss, I could feel your struggles. And I just kept praying for Almighty to restore you. Alhamdullillai Robil Alamin. Challenges come to make us stronger in faith. And Almighty Allah rewards those who are patient. May He continue to grant us the grace to be everlastingly faithful to Him. Allahumo Amin

[@salaltschul3604]

Oh, what a blessing! I'm so happy for you and your girls. Your wee lad is finally with you.

[@QanitaGhani]

Very beautiful and mesmerizing picture of you 5 beautiful people out there. I love it ❤Ma Sha Allah

[@larissafaller3193]

Firstly, congratulations on your son! Please remember that an optimal birth is a healthy mother and child. Emergency C-sections are scary and in no way means a failure on the mother's part. I'm thankful that you are all healthy and have a beautiful boy 😊

[@elsarueda5483]

Thank you so much for sharing....I wasn't blessed as y'all with little ones...but love hearing beautiful stories especially from such a loving family ❤

[@Geminibabe88]

My oldest was born on his due date as well. I remember his dr saying how rare it is.

[@winterashcrochet]

Oh my gosh, how glorious is skin to skin???? I never realised how amazing it is, until my 3rd baby. Any chance I got, I was skin to skin with him. Nursing, showering, sleeping. Every moment I could. He has always showered with me, and we have always done skin to skin. He's now 2.5years, and he's the biggest mummas boy. Soak it up! Get as much skin to skin as possible!!!!! Every moment you can! It's magical! ❤

[@Mzlady7171]

I'm listening to your story and it's like you're describing my birth story with my 3 rd child too.. almost exactly

[@Mzlady7171]

@just A guy yes

[@LoneWombat2126]

I want to say that you two were exactly what the other person needed. And the what ifs are exactly what having your faith in Allah is there for…and honestly I feel like sometimes, in times like this, our faith in Allah is healthier than just trying, in futility, to try and control every little detail, micromanage every minute detail, which obviously we can’t. Allah truly is the best planner of all. Alhamdulillah, I’m so happy that everyone is happy and healthy and back home with family! Congratulations on your beautiful little Yusuf. May Allah continue to Bless you and your family with health, happiness and endless Blessings, InshaAllah. Allahuma Ameen. Sister Sana, I’m sending you a great big hug, from now sister to another. 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️

[@rubykarim9620]

A big big congratulations to you both.......and to your daughters on becoming big sisters. 💖 I had SPD with all 4 of my pregnancy's so understand how severe labour pain can be.

Thank you again for all your sharings. This was now the next video falling in my time line after the one you talk about Eeman, so it's really as the algorithm is driven by the divinity. What a wonderful story. As Eeman means "faith" in Arabic, يوسف comes from the hebrew יוֹסֵף , pronounced Yosef and means "G-d will increase" , what is obviously what happens to your family, your joy and your faith. Barukh haShem, alhamdul'Illah.

I knew you were pregnant, but didn’t want to say it out loud because it’s simply rude. 5 years ago I lost unwanted pregnancy. Now, the idea of being pregnant scares the shit out of me what if it happens again, but this time wanted. I can’t even imagine how scared you must have been and what you’ve been going through.
