C-sections were almost universally fatal to the mother until the 19th century, when antiseptics and anesthetics were introduced. It’s insane how far we’re come such a serious surgery. Good to see you’re in good spirits and recovering ❤

Currently in the hospital due to complications. I’m 28+4 weeks, praying to stay pregnant as long as possible for the health of my baby boy. Expected to stay and live in the hospital for the next 6 weeks. I’ve been following your vlogs prior to the complications and they have helped with your positivity. I try to stay positive and put myself and baby in Gods hands. Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy! ❤

I was an EPer for the first four months of my baby’s life. I would encourage you not to drop too many pumps too soon. I had a very similar experience to you… “oversupply” at the beginning first few weeks/month and even with consistently pumping every 3 hours around the clock, when my supply regulated it dropped substantially and we had to supplement. No shame in formula if that’s ultimately your plan (it made life so much better for us) but if you want to do BM long term that’s something to think of

I’ve had three c-sections. First was emergent to save baby as she was in major distress with super low heart rate. She was sunny side up and the cord was wrapped around her shoulder which prevented her from properly descending into the birth canal. The second two c-sections were scheduled and NIGHT AND DAY when it came to recovering. I actually went home 33 hours after my second c-section because I felt so good. I felt like a million bucks just six days after birth. My biggest thing was having that first bowel movement. Once I was finally able to poop, game over. I felt incredible. I was vacuuming my house within an hour of coming home after my third c-section. Everyone’s experiences are different but it’s insane how much your body remembers and activates muscle memory for those recoveries. I had zero interest in a VBAC and my doctor actually didn’t even allow them due to the risks.

Yes! I totally agree here. My planned C-section after my emergency C-section was amazing. No comparison. I had that same awful shaking with my emergency C-section and I agree that it was the most terrible part of it. The spinal block they gave me for my planned C-section was just like stepping into a hot tub, it felt amazing! And my baby was out in 7 minutes. No fuss, no muss, I was eating a steak dinner shortly thereafter. I got pregnant six months after my emergency C-section -- not ideal, but my OB was fine with it -- so exactly 15 months to the day after my crazy emergency C-section, I had the wonderful planned C-section and it was EVERYTHING! (Now my daughters are great together, thank goodness, at ages 15 and 16!)

Best tip is to not top up with formula if you intend to breastfeed make sure any top ups you do is breastmilk and then pump off the same amount after naps to keep the demand at that constant or increasing amount. Cluster feeding is when baby won’t get off you and that’s caused by the many growth spurts. Good luck everyone you can do it !
@amandaetheredge8266
@amandaetheredge8266 2 күн бұрын
Depending on your goals (if you have those for time to provide breastmilk) I would encourage you to hold your pump schedule loosely. Typically around 12 weeks (or when you get your period again) your milk supply regulates and it can feel like it is less. If you’re cool supporting with formula then keep on keeping on! It’s a wild ride feeding a tiny human!

thank you for sharing your story! Breastmilk will come out after a couple washes. Just put the clothes back in a couple times and it washes right out! Also, just to note, most milk supplies don't fully regulate until about 12 weeks postpartum. If you pump/remove milk too little in the first 12 weeks, you *may* experience a big decrease once your supply regulates. Right now you have a lot of prolactin driving your supply, but after regulation it is solely demand driving supply. Just something to be mindful of. Generally, the advice is to keep pumping adequately & in the night until supply fully regulates
@juliayvr2015
@juliayvr2015 Күн бұрын
I'm sure you know this but dropping a night pump will eventually kill your supply no matter how much you pump all day. Try to get one in at 3am that's the ideal time to let your body know to keep making milk.

@@RachelVinn You’ll be fine with the schedule you’re on now. ❤ I was on that same schedule it sounds like you’re on right now until almost 3 months pp and then I eventually dropped the 3am pump and just started around 6:30am with 4 pump sessions until 11:30pm 15-20 mins per session with 5-6 hrs between sessions and still had an oversupply of milk until almost 5 months pp. For me it didn’t really slow down until 6 months pp but I’m okay with where we’re at now because now I’m able to dip into my giant freezer stash and naturally with introducing some solids he’s just not drinking as much BM anyways. You’re doing so great pp and I’m so glad both you and baby boy are safe and thriving. 🥰

Ultrasounds at the point (in labor) aren’t as accurate because the head is so low in the pelvic cavity that it’s hard to decipher perfectly and also in labor there’s so many position changes we try to correct it that there’s no guarantee- we try to prevent c-sections so we try to go for the vaginal delivery and sometimes the position changes work!!

It’s common to over supply in the beginning but I would suggest you continue pumping every 3 hours even overnight (preferably for 30 minutes). If you drop too many sessions and reduce pumping time your body will think your baby requires very little milk and stop producing.

So with L & D they do have the hand held ultrasound they can wheel in at any point if you request it they cannot withhold it unless you aren’t the priority. I used this for my pre labor assurance my youngest wasn’t breech.

Love your videos! I would highly highly encourage you not to give up on breastfeeding! In the long run breastfeeding is much more convenient than pumping! I cannot stress this enough!!! You will start to feel like a slave to the pump and you will always have to haul your pump everywhere you go or else your supply will tank. Also washing pump parts and bottles will soon get dreadful. But if you prioritize breastfeeding right now that you have the time it is so much easier to just whip out your boob anytime baby is hungry. No washing no freezing milk no thawing no heating just pull it out and done.

She is breastfeeding ❤️ pumping is breastfeeding and it’s a lot more common than you may think! I exclusively pumped with both my babies. For one I went almost 20 months. It seems like she’s doing what works best for her and as a former two-time exclusive pumper, it absolutely would not have been easier to be the only one to ever feed the baby or the only one to wake with baby at night or not to be able to go anywhere without baby. Truly would have destroyed my mental health. She’s doing what works right now ❤️❤️

I am a nurse, but not in L&D :) My guess is that insurance won't cover ultrasounds for positioning. A lot of time the doctors/staff can manually determine the baby's position pretty accurately. It might also have to do with the availability. Ultrasounding each woman in labor in the hospital would be a lot of patients.

I start shaking to bad when I was pushing my baby out and got a panic attack as well so they have to do an emerged c section. By this time my water was Brocken 6 hours ago and my baby was born purple no breathing at all so he is a miracle of God. Oh and the anestesia did not get me so I felt the first cut into my belly with during the c section

I had a similar experience and im 1 week post c section now. I went into spontaneous labor at home and labored for 48 hours. Finally got admitted to the hospital but I was only 3 cm dilated. They mainly admitted me due to baby’s heart rate having drops. I couldn’t get past 5 cm dilated. My water was broken and there was meconium. Had to get c section and my doctor said she also found my baby sunny side up with neck bent backwards. I was not prepared for a C-section but so grateful I made the choice to do it to ensure my baby was safe cus she wanted out! Lol

Food vitamin intake is crucial also. Whey I totally agree but veggies and meat classic dishes . Enough carbs and fat ; calories underneath 2300-2600 is really where I lose hair after four babies I haven’t lost any hair with 1 and 4 due to eating a lot more food. So with the back pain with c section if it’s not consistent and you stop babywearing I bet it will stop. I have lots of pillows for feeding too that’s huge as if it’s not associated from an issue with spinal /epidurals it’s usually posture related with feeding or carrying. Get someone to check your carrier hold positioning and also ensure when you do start movement Pilates is really great for getting things like back pain to alleviate.

My advice for sleep: 3 bags of valerian root tea, 3 bags of sleepy time melatonin tea, one scoop (1 gram) of gaba powder, & 1 scoop of magnesium calm powder. Also a hot shower just after you jug your tea so when you lay down the tea cocktail will hit & you will be so relaxed after your hot shower. Also I hear a lot about something called BEAM DREAM, I’ve never tried it but a lot of youtubers rave about this product 🤷🏻‍♀️

I had a super similar experience with my first birth (I messaged you on IG) and they actually did do an ultrasound after I hadn’t progressed in over 12 hours. The doctor manually rotated my daughter’s head and she still flipped right back! 🙄 So I think sometimes it doesn’t make a difference. I exclusively pumped too with my first and struggled with oversupply with all 4 of my kids. As to the middle of the night pump, just let your boobs wake you up. I get clogged ducts if I purposely sleep through engorgement.

As someone who has had three inductions because I’m on blood thinners and have to go off of them to deliver baby and then get back on them, ladies, Bishop Score is EVERYTHING!! Definitely not anti induction since obviously I’ve had them, but know your bishop score beforehand so you can adjust your expectations on whether you will most likely have a c-section or not. Inductions and c sections are life saving!! But if you are not dilated, baby is not in an optimal position, you are not effaced, etc. an easy induction experience might not be in the cards for you. Rachel, you are a rockstar! A 4 day induction is NO JOKE. So glad Jesse is here safely and you are doing well ❤️

@@RachelVinn for me, being well rested had a much bigger impact on my supply than trying to squeeze in a MOTN pump. you will figure out if you need to add that back in or can skip it. I just successfully breastfed (mostly pumping) for a year and there are way too many opinions out there. Only you know what your body is responding to!

I’m always a silent viewer, never comment but I just had to share. I also had a failed induction, also developed a fever along with some sort of blood infection so things were bad, my baby’s heart rate was spiking through the roof and ultimately I had a c section delivery. I am beyond grateful for the medical team I had. The surgery was the best part, but no one prepares you for a c section recovery. It takes time but day by day you will get your strength back. My c section recovery took about 8 weeks to feel completely normal even though it’s a new normal. My baby is 6 months old, I still experience back pain (a good support belt will help with this), I still have strange numbness by areas of my c section but honestly 6 months in I feel great. What a blessing to be alive and share your world with your baby. Things will get better.. much better. ❤️

Wow my husband is also filipino i would have never guessed aj was. Also never wash stuff with breastmilk on it in hot water - that will cook the milk into the fabrics. Maybe that will help?🤷‍♀️

When I got the epidural I was so itchy

Really? Interesting. I had a panic attack. Had to have a nurse sit with me and my husband hold my hand. I had to keep smelling peppermint essential oil and the nurse was making me meditate to calm down. I had to have them open the door so I could see the hallway because I felt like I was imprisoned. I never felt more strange my entire life. I’ve had the epidural twice and never want again in my life .😢

My daughter pooped in me too but thankfully didn’t swallow it either. And Omg I totally don’t remember some parts of my C-section either. I was so delirious during it.

I got clogged ducts all the time! Crushed cabbage leaves in your bra and hot water in the shower will sort that all out. Momma of 4 here and I lived by that!!!

I never threw up during csection. I did have blood pressure massive drop and they ran something through iv to bring it up. The pressure was very scary for me too I could feel everything they were doing it was like my organs were shoved aside. The pain following mine was extreme worst pains because I had after pain/ contractions alongside the scar and being cut through and raw. The scar recovery is worst pain through that area. I’ve had natural births and by far the worst delivery type is caesarean.
