Rewatch: Sister Wives S1E4 Third Wife in Labor Recap Review Reaction

[@GoldenDuet]

John cracked me up with inserting, “he’s getting his pencil wet”…..every chance he got!😂😂😂

[@ericapoe]

He cracks me up every time he says it😂

[@ScienceNsoul3]

Me too😂😂

[@glendawilson853]

😂😂😂

[@Glittergramma]

I think Robyn’s mom was actually the other woman and they called it polygamy so her mom could sleep at night.

[@jobee1]

I believe he used getting clothes as an excuse to go sex up Robyn while Christine is about to give birth and that told me everything I needed to know about Kody. He’s a creep.

[@aimee2234]

That episode infuriated me like no other for some reason. That's when Sobyn lost any redeeming value and I knew when I first saw it, I could not stand her anymore. She reeked schemer. Thanks, Nikki & John! xoxo

[@robinchristensen1657]

I think their lack of health insurance in the early days was a factor in their home births. I remember at the beginning of Isabel’s scoliosis journey Christine said she wasn’t insured

[@77andsunny]

No truer words: Just because you do something a lot doesn’t mean you’re good at it.

[@Lisa-gz1dg]

I love you two shared your birth story, it’s so obvious how much you love your son.

[@alexcarbajal2940]

Your an adorable couple. Thanks for sharing your own experiences. It makes us feel like, we are not the only ones that struggled with infertility. Also, great review!111

[@johnhaverstock]

Thank you for that! We definitely had some major issues, happy to share at this point in life

[@RancherNikki]

I’m sorry to hear you also had fertility problems. Thank you for the super thanks.

[@amandaworden2]

The disrespect he shows for Christine here is astonishing. I really can't believe how much people didn't care the first time this was shown.

[@lorraineearle5967]

I don't think that people didn't care. I think people were focused on the good family stuff. We were nieve viewers.

[@laurenhahn890]

Hes gotten reemed out for this forever since, no idea what ur talking about. No one ever let this go

[@laneneal3510]

A lot of us did. Christine saw it but no one acknowledged it with her. Bc they weren’t supposed to talk about each others relationships, which we find out Kody was the biggest gossiper

[@hop775]

Was that doll house scene also the one where Robyn "corrects" her daughter from saying Kody to Daddy? 🤢 Don't force your kids just for his ego!

[@CZMuzic2714]

Wait until Robyn’s labor and delivery. A completely different husband shows up.

[@rachelsheppard7232]

I haven't been blessed with children, but my Mom tells the story of my birth which was a C-section. The joke of the family is how cool my Dad thought it was. She said that when the initial incision was made, Dad said, "Oh wow, Honey! It looks like they are carving a turkey!!" 🤣Just what a woman wants to hear, right!! LOL

[@RancherNikki]

Oh my gosh 😂

[@KimC657]

That’s hilarious!

[@rtblade4]

Kody is really good at wearing gloves for no apparent reason

[@LinaGenX]

My dad was an ob/gyn and my mom still refused to have him in the room for her 3 births 😁

[@lorraineearle5967]

Yes, I agree, Nikki, with your realization of how overt Robyn and Kody were with their behavior. I believe that they took full advantage of Meri, Janelle, a Christine's vulnerability, trust, commitment to faith and family, from the very beginning. They broke all the rules in plain sight and brazingly continued to do so. Despicable humans from day one!

[@brendam780]

As per usual the narcissist can’t let the storyline be about anyone but him even though Christine is literally giving birth.🤦🏻‍♀️🤢

[@heathermachala7623]

Nikki you are adorable! I love the banter between you two! I love how we get little pieces of your lives. John you are freaking so funny! I see why you two dig each other so much! I dig you both too! Thanks for the humor and realness!!

[@VC_Home4Now]

Christine is so awesome, and it's so sad to see how she settled for so little from her husband. Great commentary, as usual 🙂 You guys are great!

[@klarsen117]

I once fainted coming out of the bathroom when I was in the hospital. I had an IV so a nurse walked me there and waited right outside. As I was finishing, I told her I was feeling hot and seeing red. Next thing I knew I was looking up from the floor at two nurses and I was laughing because while I was out, I dram I had a baby. I was relieved it was just a dream because my daughter was only 2½ at the time, I couldn't have another baby so soon! As they were walking me back to bed they asked what was so funny, so I told them. They laughed and one asked me why I thought I was in the hospital. Then we all laughed even more because it all came back to me, I had just had my second daughter 🤣

[@RancherNikki]

Oh my gosh! You poor thing. What a journey that bathroom trip was.

[@sueecavanau]

Oh my gosh your story is hysterical!!! I laughed out loud. It reminded me of a few years ago when I went to the dentist. I got stoned beforehand to help with the pain because I was really afraid it was going to hurt. When he started the procedure, I started giggling because I was stoned. He very gently said, could you please stop giggling because this equipment is very sensitive and your giggling is making it move back and forth!

[@klarsen117]

@@sueecavanau 🤣🤣🤣

[@julietteoscaralphanovember2223]

My husband did not leave my room during my labors, even one labor was over 36 hours before I got a c-section. My baby was 12lbs 3oz 24" long, no way could I deliver him, this was before they did routine ultrasounds.

[@susanh103]

Kody actually says he's over with his 'girlfriend' as he's kissing Robbem who I'd guess texted him to stop by. He's such a monumental failure.

[@laneneal3510]

😮

[@cynthiaejiogu8442]

We usually don’t want to go to 42 weeks because the placenta starts to not work as efficiently. Longer is not better at this point. Says former labor RN.

[@shainasawyer4649]

I always had a sneaking suspicion that Kody and Robyn scammed the other wives with this show. It’s obvious this early on he prefers to just be with Robyn over everyone else.

[@susanh103]

"They handed him to me and said we don't want to spend time with him basically, here you have him all the time." Those were Robbem's words from the last One-on-One, poor little thing got stuck with the loser. #LieInIt

[@NoOutletDeadEnd]

Just for the record, this gal loves hearing your personal stories interlaced with the recap.

[@sueecavanau]

Yes, Kody appeared amazingly affectionate toward Christine through the birth process because it made for good TV.

[@myunitt911]

The change in kody is so insane

[@ShellBAtoms]

...like a true narcissist...

[@laneneal3510]

He was showing off for camera. Again making everything about him

[@LisaHouserman]

This is so nice. I like hearing some of your personal stories mixed in. So happy you got your boy. So sorry to hear you had trouble in terms of pregnancies. Thanks for your fun recaps.

[@paulan7218]

A KZbin channel called Mormon book reviews did a interview with Rulon Allred’s granddaughter who is Christine Brown’s cousin, and she had a very interesting story That kind of explains why Cody was so worried about Janelles motorhome going into a ditch. Apparently Cody used to work for the woman’s brother-in-law and Cody accidentally drove a very large piece of machinery into a ditch, and it took them multiple other large pieces of machinery, including a crane to get it out of the ditch, and it was very costly.

[@rivercrone]

See what happens when he doesn't have his precious WORK GLOVES on???

[@laneneal3510]

😂😂

[@macimccoy9271]

I love hearing your stories! Y’all are so fun!

[@rtblade4]

If Christine was not in active labor, she would not have been admitted. They went there because she would be induced

[@ohlordchild]

I’m really loving these recaps with your personal stories which are way better than sister wives!

[@mollysmith1226]

Yes!!! They are the best

[@smdpenguin]

I laugh at this because my husband also saw way too much of me during my c-section. :) That's hilarious! I think John and my husband would have similar stories! I love John's feedback in here! He cracks me up! I also love how real you two are. We also struggled with infertlity as well, and had a miscarriage before we had our firstborn son. You have yourself a very good husband!

[@sueecavanau]

Yes, I think she has a very good husband, and I wish John had a brother for me.

[@angelaspears-scheidel621]

I watch the two of you for the most realistic recaps. I end up laughing so hard at your snarky remarks. Keep them coming ..

[@RancherNikki]

Thank you for the support!

[@janareeves7482]

In a later episode I seem to remember (I could be wrong) Christine asking Robyn if she really "needed" that long honeymoon. Robyn, of course, assured her that she rilly did.

[@RancherNikki]

She needs a lot of things apparently.

[@rivercrone]

@@RancherNikki She rilly, rilly, like, does.

[@barbaracolbert4660]

Yes! I just watched it. It's in the honeymoon special - last episode of season 1.

[@Creative2xmom]

I think that Kody motioned for Robyn to follow him outside. On the show, it cuts from him leaving to Robyn's face and she kind of pauses what she's doing and saying as if he's telling her something. Then it cuts to her walking out and him shutting the door in the camera's face. He just didn't want to get caught. And I'm sure Robyn didn't have 15 kids at her house. Logan, Hunter, Madison, ... I'm sure there were multiple teenagers on their own.

[@Creative2xmom]

Kody also makes the comment that Christine and Meri have a good relationship. Very interesting.

[@sueecavanau]

@@Creative2xmom Yes, I caught that. Give me a break.

[@ScienceNsoul3]

I love hearing you guys stories! You are both so funny and your banter gives your videos a personal charm. And you’re right, they must have had the induction conversation off camera at first and then re-did it for the cameras. They wouldn’t put them in a room and have Christine get into a gown unless it was already determined they were inducing. The real conversation probably happened on the phone when she hit the 1wk late mark.

[@DrofJustice]

OMG John as doctor’s non-assistant at the delivery 😂😂😂❤❤

[@lindab.716]

My daughter had emergency C-section after a long hard labor. Once we were in the little maternity room my Daughter and SIL were both in need of sleep. I told daughter to get rest and sent SIL home to feed cats, shower, eat and sleep a couple hours. The baby was then Nana’s 😊

[@LinaGenX]

John, my dad was a doctor (Ob/gyn) and my mother made him wait outside for all 3 of her births. It was just her and the hospital midwife in the room 😁

[@karensiegel6669]

Back in 1980, I told my husband he did not need to be present at the birth! At that time a woman was a horrible person if her husband wasn't a birth coach, had all natural childbirth and did not breast feed her baby. The nurses were not in agreement with my decision. I said he is a good guy and will be with the baby and me for the rest of our lives!

[@robinperini1045]

I agree 1000% Can you Imagine how Christine felt when she saw Kody sneaking off to see and kiss Robin!!! Poor Christine!

[@laneneal3510]

A what gets me is that supposedly their whole polygamy thing is about having more children for their celestial afterlife. He couldn’t even focus on that. What a pig.

[@thepolyneer6242]

I passed out on the bathroom floor after having my first child too. The nurse acted like it happened all the time lol.

[@beckyh224]

While I am pretty much over all the Browns, I come back for you and John. It's so good to see a loving couple partnering!

[@moniquemarie9637]

I love these recaps on the old episodes. I wish there was one every day or so😂

[@kristinamillion9166]

Hahaha! I have 5 my 5th was my only c section. He is 7 months old. It was a hellish experience. Everyone it seemed was either training someone or being trained as in new. But the look you described was absolutely my husband's expression. Lol. He said I just saw all your insides. There's so much blood omg he's huge. We thought we were having a 7lbs baby we had a 9 lbs 14 Oz baby. I was very greatful for him being breech and us having that c section.

[@kimbers1238]

Back to the show? Are u kidding? That is the best after birth story and birth story I have ever heard. I was cracking up. Lol

[@mollysmith1226]

Me too!! I got tears when John said she would be enough if they didn't have children

[@lorraineearle5967]

I totally agree with your assessment Nikki, of how overt Robyn and Kody were with their behavior from the get go. They took full advantage of Meri, Janelle, and Christine's, trust, commitment to faith and family, and nativity from day one. They hide nothing, their agenda and behavior was arrogantly in plain sight. Despicable humans!

[@peggydfg]

Thanks! You always bring a smile to my face!

[@johnhaverstock]

That's very kind, thank you!

[@RancherNikki]

We appreciate it

[@Khozhi01]

John and my hubby had the same reaction to cutting the cord. Lol😂

[@queendawny]

I'm late to the game but that whole hide kisses and eat string cheese is weird. Favorite part besides welcoming Truly.... the kids are so small and cute and play well. That's what I always liked when they were little.

[@farmgirl-nursedoc]

Make no doubt- we are here for you two as well as your spice about the SW’s… I love hearing your story!

[@farmgirl-nursedoc]

PS- I am a Nurse Midwife and Kody is an arrogant, annoying, bossy and incorrect labor support. If he was a doula, I would fire him.

[@Vickiglennon]

Love your honesty about your struggles to have a baby, I bet your child is amazing and has parents that are so loving.❤️❤️

[@alynatomberlin3825]

I can’t believe Kody would do that to Christine! Actually knowing how he is, I’m not to surprised. I wouldn’t have stuck around if it had been me. My husband played video games while I labored with my first one. I hated him so much for being able to “do something else” while I was in labor!😅

[@deborahsuarez32]

I just love when you share stories about you and John. It is way more interesting than Sister Wives.

[@janets9179]

Kody probably regrets the wet pencil comment. People will never forget it.

[@RoxBDointheMost]

Well - although Truely was the tender age of 8 weeks at the time of the honeymoon - what about the other kids? Wasn’t Savannah like 5?? Kody sure like moving those goal posts.

[@juliad1767]

You both are cracking me up this time, especially talking about your birth and fainting on the nurse 😂

[@DaemonBlonde]

The blunt needle comment seems to slip through unnoticed by a lot of fans… my hubby would’ve had more than a crushed hand if he’d said that about me 🙃

[@MarineAlli]

As bad as Kody is, after my ex husband and I just had our one and only child, I asked the nurse that night if I could get a shower. She said yes only if my ex would take a shower with me to help. Yup, he asked for me (hours after giving birth vaginally) to put his pencil in my mouth. It would have been so painful to get my on my knees. I said no, but he said I owed it to him, because holding my leg hurt his back. This is a mature 23 year old sailor, who was an NCO, so not a teen. Should have divorced him then.

[@johnhaverstock]

That sounds awful

[@khomeful]

Rank doesn't mean anything. I know military that I would have at my back when I was fighting but I wouldn't give them the responsibility if babysitting my kids.

[@MarineAlli]

@@khomeful I’m prior service myself. Rank can mean maturity, my point was he wasn’t a boot. He was a grown man, a corpsman, and had been deployed multiple times. I am a Marine (no longer in, I did my time), but I would say, the more rank one holds, overall they are more mature, since you have more to lose. That’s why my barracks room was always sandwiched with a Sgt. on both sides, even when I was a Lance Corporal, and should have had a lesser nice room a few decks lower. That’s when I was told, more rank=more to lose. And thus, they never bothered me, and they were a deter from other idiots hitting on the only female in the barracks.

[@sueecavanau]

LOVE YA'LL! Could you show scenes from the episode then make snarky comments about it? Love you two as a couple so much.

[@sueecavanau]

And I have to admit it's because I'm too lazy to go back and find the episode and rewatch it.

[@RancherNikki]

I’ll look into it!

[@johnhaverstock]

It's something we're learning/working on, no promises though

[@cassandrashelton3690]

Me and my hubby both agree that cutting the cord is a medical procedure too! We have three kids and he's never touched the cord. Lol. It's a very long exhausting process so I think the men need to go out and get air and food when you're stuck in the hospital waiting for the baby to finally come😂

[@bethzink9233]

Could listen to Nikki talk about sister wives for hours, and love John in the clips.

[@lucymuston677]

I ❤ your videos!! Ya’ll are so cute together. Thanks for talking about infertility which I’ve dealt with as well. Your content is great!! 👍😊

[@teresagarcia5333]

Love your recaps and John reactions are priceless. I will continue watching.

[@julietteoscaralphanovember2223]

John looks thrilled 😀

[@fortylovestyle2789]

Awww screw Sister Wives, I love hearing more about you and John. That was a great hospital story.

[@kristina90462]

I love your videos. I also have ADHD ( originally diagnosed as ADD too🤣). I totally get caught up in your side stories about your life. I think that’s the main reason I watch your videos other than liking sister wives. Keep being yourself 💕 I can’t wait to hear your opinions on seeking sister wives.

[@FlowerChild65]

I've always thought how he treated her (Christine) was gross. There are certain times when one singular wife should have gotten his attention, and giving birth to his child is certainly one of them. I have been watching your re-watch recaps as well as shorts and something I noticed thinking back is, we now know that he stopped having a relationship with Meri pretty much when the show began or thereabouts. So was that whole plot line about her having another baby fake?

[@laneneal3510]

I think so. And yes he had stopped having intimacy with Meri already. Jannelle really didn’t care. Christine was demanding intimacy(not in bad way) ergo Truly. And that was Kodys sacrifice he made for her. That’s why he was seeking a new wife. He wanted a to be excited again. These wives were now boring. I’m sure bc his love making was boring.

[@ladyluckslots1489]

This would be the first clue he doesn’t love Christine- running to seethe new wife during labor. Nice one Kotex

[@gretchenvanvrancken3334]

Let’s see how he acts when his grandkids are Robyn’s kid’s babies.

[@fortylovestyle2789]

Kody and Christine had a cute playful relationship. That he never loved her stuff is crap. And he and Robyn planned to sneak away and kiss. Watch Kody's eyes before he goes to the door. It would be one thing if it was spontaneous. The fact that it was planned makes it even worse. And Whoa! I forgot how much of Truely's birth we actually saw!

[@gretchenvanvrancken3334]

It’s like a secret 2nd family in another place & they say she took her stepdad’s name, but not that he adopted her & I’d love to know who her bio dad is & what that story is.

[@danat3961]

John please stop bringing up the wet pencil😂😂😂😂

[@gretchenvanvrancken3334]

They say it’s because they’re scared they’ll put the guy in jail, but the more I think about it, I think since they don’t have insurance they can’t afford to have a baby in the hospital regularly

[@OkiChick302]

Interesting. I had a "geriatric" pregnancy (34). My daughter came two weeks after her due date.

[@thesimulation9651]

Me too, I think a nurse told me if your due date is after your 35th birthday it's considered a geriatric pregnancy. But that was years ago and my memory ain't what it used to be, I am truly geriatric now !

Kody had a lot of wives and he sure wasen't good at it 😂 Great recap and interesting to look back but impossible to be objective.

[@booksxbritttv]

Robyn step daddy was a man who had several women in his keeping. He wasn't "married" to her mother or the other women in the same sense that Kody was married to Meri Janelle and Christine prior to beginning a courtship with Robyn.

[@barbaracolbert4660]

Something about this episode always bothered me. Why was Christine ok with all this but upset about an engagement kiss? When I started rewatching, it hit me. I believe Kody & Robyn were already married. I caught many editing mistakes in E1&2. I think a lot of what we see is a reenactment for TLC. Some dates if your interested. Backyard cleanup - Feb/Mar 2010 First meet Robyn - September 2009 Robyn's 31st birthday - Oct 2009 Christine's sonogram - Mar 16, 2010 Robyn moves - March 2010 Truly born April 13, 2010 Kody & Robyn wedding reception May 22, 2010 I really enjoy your recaps.

[@gretchenvanvrancken3334]

Would it be too much to ask to have him for 24 hours alone while his wife is in LABOR?!?! This shows where his alliance has always been.

[@kristinesharp6286]

I really don’t understand why people are so into reading a few articles have a faith moment and then insist on labor and delivery their way, vaccinations there way, etc.. I mean I didn’t tell the surgeon how to remove my gall bladder for pity sakes. Who sadistic creep started telling women that birth and pain away from medical care was the best thing in the entire world? We live in a goofy world when pot is progressive and pain killers during childbirth a weakness. The baby comes out. Doesn’t matter how. It’s not in our control how it happens really. Just like people can not decide how many or few kids they have. Usually they end up with less or more than expected.

[@tiffanyb.5221]

Sorry Meri’s anniversary was a week after Truely was born, not only did he leave for an 11 day honeymoon when Truely was six weeks old, he left right after she was born to go to Mexico with Meri. He may not have been gone for 11 days, but I would bet it was about a week.
