Pregnancy Q&A ⎮Birth Plan, Miscarriage Fears, Labor Prep

[@kimkenickie]

I’m so happy for you! I’m pregnant for the first time and will give birth to twins in a month but sadly one of them will be stillborn. Your videos have really helped me get through the devastating last few weeks and now I’m just focusing on having a good time bonding with my healthy baby and setting my mind on a positive birth experience. I’m praying that everyone will have a happy ending to their pregnancy journey ❤️

[@Kian_Wolfgang]

Oh my goodness I am so sorry. Such joy and heartbreak intertwined. Praying for you and your delivery 🤍

[@taraleasure]

Oh my goodness. I am so sorry to hear that. That was biggest fear when I was pregnant, that I would have a stillborn baby. I can’t imagine the heartache that must be lingering. I’m praying for a miracle for you! ❤️

[@kennedyadams8154]

I’m so sorry for your loss mama. ❤ Sending you lots of love

[@bygrace24]

Praying God will strengthen you and you'll feel His peace and comfort surrounding you. Sorry words sound so empty but God knows 🤲

[@kimkenickie]

Thank you for your lovely comments! 💕 I just wanted to pop back and share that I gave birth to my twin boys on may 20th and everything went well. We had the best of support at the hospital and got to say goodbye to our son Aaron in our own time. Our other son is doing well and being his mom is so much fun! We named him Sam which means ”god hears”. Have faith everyone!

So exciting! I had a homebirth in February with my first baby and it was amazing. My best advice is to let go of all expectations and just focus on getting through labor. Surrender to the experience. When I watched videos of other womens birth experiences, the trend I saw with a lot of people was that they had too many expectations. They thought they were in labor when they weren’t, they thought they were more far along than they were, or they thought baby would be born by a certain time and that didn’t happen. And with birth, nothing is predictable. Those mindsets set you up for disappointment which can really affect how you progress in labor. Just take each moment as they come, just you, the Lord, and your baby. And remember you are so much stronger than you think because you have Jesus living on the inside of you! ❤

[@crazychicken4063]

I second this. I've had 4 miscarriages and 4 living children

[@paulinajohnson5439]

I have had 2 babies so far and it’s probably the best advice I’d ever say is being loose handed with expectations on how your birth will go. Just cause you want ultimately not to to have your joy stolen simply cause it didn’t go how you planned. The biggest moment no matter what is just having that baby and doing what it takes for them to come out healthy so I totally behind that mentality.

[@lauwill1217]

The commitment part is so real, but it really goes from "shit what did I just do, am I ready?" to "I can't wait to have this child in my life forever,"

[@carliesmith7683]

I’m 4’ 11’’ and had my baby 5 months ago. The rib pain was no joke! It actually took a couple of months for mine to go away completely. And after I gave birth it was a little painful to stand up completely straight for a couple days because of the stretching of the ribs. Praying for ya girl!!!

[@Naturevideos-od8pt]

I clicked at uploaded 23 seconds ago! I always enjoy watching your videos Kian! Praying for your health, babies' health, and Kyle's health. Praying for a safe delivery and God's peace to surround y'all's hearts! You are both going to be phenomenal parents!!!!

[@Kian_Wolfgang]

Thank you for all the prayers!

[@Eszter.Hlatky]

Breathing techniques and different positions during contractions are game changers 😊 birthing pool with warm water is so relaxing and that fitness ball is soo needed during the dialation. The first few hours of labor better to just sleep between contractions and eat, because later you won't be able to.

[@ashleycondict2044]

Yes, please share more on pregnancy and labor/birth prep. I started following you because of your fertility/TTC journey so I would love more videos like that. I am a mama x4 and just Free Birthed our surprise baby girl on February 26th. Also, if you and your husband are comfortable we would love to see a glimpse into your birth story. Thank you for opening your life up to us. You are beautiful and I am so happy for you guys!

[@ivyneas8709]

Excited to watch this, I just found out I’m pregnant with my double rainbow baby. Praying this one sticks ❤

Congratulations!! Praying for you and your miracle 🥰

What I did with my second born (who was bigger than my first born that I tore and had to get cut with), I did extremely low sumo squats like a really deep stretch and also did sets of kegels while in the position. I swear he pushed himself out and I didn’t tear at all!!! Really try to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles and stretch!

[@sherbetstraw8605]

I would never want to fill anyone with fear but I just had my first baby 2 months ago and the Labour was so long and such agony and I wish I had known beforehand that the perfect births we frequently see on KZbin stories are just not the norm. I think I had slight fairy tale expectations and was shocked to my core by the all encompassing pain of labour. Sorry this is not to be negative or fear mongering - just the realistic description of labour that I wish I'd had before I went into it! I am someone who needs to prepare mentally for things in advance. Please just ignore this if it's not a helpful comment!

[@naomitrollopeillustration]

I love that you are not nervous for labour. Going through it is a huge deal and life changing but it’s not necessarily something to be nervous about! It’s something so many women go through. It will be intense and probably painful, but female bodies (for the most part) are built to birth. Even built to recover from a c-section while caring for a newborn! You’ll be amazing. Just surrender to it all and do your 4/8 breathing. Also (so tmi) but while dealing with the pain of labour it helped me soooo much whenever my husband shook my legs or bum. Like, proper shaking the muscles around. I think it helped the muscles to relax and it was so relieving! 😅 Will be praying for you, Kyle and your little boy xxx

[@arr0991]

Ooph!! I feel you when it comes to ribs pain during pregnancy (I’m 5’0” and my husband is 6’2” so I was one tiny mama carrying big babies 😅😅)!! One thing that would help, at least at the end when it would feel like there was not enough space for baby and organs all in the same place 😅 was to kneel on all four, that would make it so that the baby was resting more towards the skin than towards the organs and it would give me a little brake to breath and some space for the inner organs as well.

[@colourfulbethany]

For the lack of sleep I really recommend keeping an open mind about bedsharing 🥰 for us it’s been so amazing for all 3 of us to get a peaceful night’s sleep (although we never planned to do it haha)

[@kaitlynianni5027]

I’m so excited and happy to be pregnant with you! I love following along. Please share more pregnancy content! I’m 16 weeks so I think you’re about 10 weeks ahead of me 😊❤️

YAY so exciting! Congratulations! Do you know if it is a boy or girl?

So exciting! I am 15 weeks 🤍✨

[@mandystrike]

Same here!! Couldn’t ask for a better pregnancy buddy! I’m 20 weeks now 💖

[@kaitlynn2368]

Great job on pea ting being relaxed for any possible outcome! During my pregnancy I never thought about what my response would be to c-sections and things like that. It’s such a good thing to emotionally prepare for!! Also for Kyle - my husband watched the whole birth and said it was more about seeing the baby than seeing all the weird stuff. Such a beautiful experience!!

[@Kian_Wolfgang]

Yes, definitely want to research healing from all types of birth too just so I am not shocked if things don't go to plan 😊

[@kaylamills22]

He is the ultimate “dad dog” 😂😂 I love your videos but I caught this and I do it alllllll the time. So happy for you starting your family!!

[@Sofik_19]

Oh yeah, it is very wise decision to take a breastfeeding class. I am a first time mom and I had had soooooo much anxiety and crying during first 2 weeks of breastfeeding. I regret not taking those classes during my pregnancy

[@jennaadams9744]

Loved this video! Please do some pregnancy vlogs! I always enjoy your vlog/day in the life videos!

[@amberleigh7654]

Congratulations! 🎉❤️🤰🏼 It’s good to have an open mind when it comes to birthing. One of my sisters had 4 healthy boys at home, unassisted, just her and her husband. Home birth is a beautiful thing.

[@katarinagreer]

love that you are having a home birth :) praying that it all goes well!

You can try KT tape for the rib pain! There’s a special type for pregnancy called my tummy tape and it is more gentle on the skin

[@bellavita3097]

Walking and daily swimming will help with Rib expansion. After birth it goes back down same with exercise then too.

[@charlovespink]

Mama you are absolutely glowing! I turn 20 weeks tomorrow and I look a hot mess 😅 Sending love from the UK 🇬🇧

“Are you into that?” “I don’t know if I’m into it” 😂😂😂😂😂

[@jessietaylor7706]

Yes the commitment of having a child is no Joke. I had to say good bye to time to myself for a long time. Some days early on your lucky if you shower. The sleep deprivation is no joke. I wish I had mentally prepare more for that.

[@mxolisimxolisi5989]

I'm happy to see you guys 🤗🤗

[@catherineeubanks3084]

My husband watched all 3 of our babies being born and he said it’s so amazing but with my first baby I tore (she was 8lb 7oz lol) and my husband happened to look over as I was being stitched up and he said that was the only thing that made him almost pass out 😂

[@kaitlynianni5027]

Yay i love when you upload a new video ❤❤❤

[@Kian_Wolfgang]

Aw thank you Kaitlyn! I have lots of videos in the works, just had to a take a little break to host family 😊

[@pinkhotfire102]

5’6 and very long torso and I had terrible rib pain! Instant relief after birth. Relief is coming lol

[@jazmine73317]

I’m glad you mentioned women needing more sleep. The reason behind this is because women can only produce/create estrogen when we sleep. Men have testosterone in their testicles so they don’t need sleep to produce it. Hormones are EXTREMELY important to both men and women. Just a little extra info! God bless 💛

[@chantellejohnston3008]

My 2 babies were wild pregnancies and free births at home ❤ If you're having a midwife, be aware that it is likely you will end up giving birth in a hospital as they are trained for intervention. May the Lord lead you both 💛 God bless!

[@sarahlago9449]

Can you please link the progesterone supplement your doctor mentioned? I’ve had consecutive miscarriages and would love to try it!

[@Kian_Wolfgang]

It was prescribed through a pharmacy, so I believe you'd have to get it from your doctor!

[@ilyneventura]

Oooooo yes you should do like a day in the life being pregnant 😁

[@arr0991]

I’ve actually read completely the opposite when it comes to sleep in men and women. The studies I read said the effects of lack of sleep on men last much much longer that for women. Which I think would make sense that the Lord made our bodies to adapt to different patterns of sleep, given that we have to go through pregnancy, child birth, breast feeding, many a times also we are the ones to respond to our kids waking up at night etc etc.

[@RebeccaBancarz]

“ are you into that “ 😂 made me laugh

[@julietgendron]

i am jealous you are having a home birth, that is my dream! insurance doesn’t cover it for me 😭 i had an unmedicated hospital birth 10 months ago and had a great experience. and my son was 9lb5oz! you will do great. i highly recommend getting combs to squeeze during contractions, i found them very helpful once i was 9 cm.

[@Kian_Wolfgang]

Yes, definitely going to get the combs. Did you use plastic or wood combs? Yes, I am so thankful we have Christian Healthcare Ministries that covers home births!

[@julietgendron]

i ended up liking the cheap plastic fine tooth combs best haha

So good for you and baby not to have an epidural there’s so many side effects. It’s not good for the human body. So glad you’re going to natural route. There’s amazing three videos from Jenti Fell in Australia that shows her home births. Just amazing..

[@emilyestrela1329]

Ummmmm….. you are glowing

[@debraroth2388]

I was wondering why don't you want to have the baby boy in the hospital instead of at home birth I think it is much better in the hospital but I was just wondering why you didn't want to have baby at the hospital . you are going to be a great momma

[@Kian_Wolfgang]

Home is where I feel most comfortable and it gives me more control of the environment and privacy of my birth 😊 They say the most important thing for birth is to feel as comfortable as possible to help you relax and surrender through the process. Everyone is so different, but I personally think I will be able to achieve that at home.

[@debraroth2388]
