[@KristenxLeanne]

Let me know what other videos you might want to see! Please give this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it really helps my channel. Thank you all so much for the congratulations and well wishes, I’m super excited to be on this journey with you!

[@Jasmine77Unicorns]

I would love to see a video of medicated vs medicated birth!!

[@irinayanova9603]

I would love to know the differences between medicated and unmedicated birth too!! your vlogs are amazing! thank you so much for all information you share, links on goods, difficulties you face and good rewarding moments you show🥰🥰🥰 may your family be healthy, strong, full of peace and love ☮&💟

[@gabrielacortez4893]

I would like a video on making those nurses bags. How many did you make? When do you give it to them, before or after delivering? You said to save some for the post partum care staff, how many bags do you need then? Ideas on what to give them and what types of things did you put in them? I've never heard of this being done and I am really curious. Thank you.

[@annt7737]

Also Kristen deserved a quick delivery, after her experience with Harlow, I remember it was hard. Your stronge mama! 🌈✨

[@AliviaYork]

I was like “oh no she’s not going in right away, she’s going to have a car baby”. All my babies were super quick from beginning to end, my 3rd came so fast I was all natural as well and hands down was the easiest recovery. If you can get through the pain I recommend unmedicated. Just be prepared for the ring of fire as I like to describe it 😳 Congratulations! So happy everyone is healthy & happy!

[@kiwi465]

I DEFINITELY would find a video comparing the non-medicated vs medicated births incredibly helpful - seriously I feel like a real commentary on that is so needed

[@thedisneypsychologist7249]

I’d be really interested in a video discussing your experience with medicated versus unmedicated. I also really appreciate your honesty in the videos, it gives me comfort knowing what to expect. ❤

[@angmarie437]

Triage: we would recommend driving over.. Kristen: I’m gonna work on the nurse baskets for like 20 min. Lmaoooo you’re too funny 😂 congrats!! ✨

[@JulieNick28]

When you said you were going to go get some sleep after your water broke. I grinned and thought “no, you’re not” 😂. They want that baby out soon once it breaks - I was in the 6% too. You know it breaks - it’s a LOT of fluid. So happy for you and so happy you made it to the hospital!!!!

[@NikkiAMurrayAvon]

Also the 6%, in fact I many be a less percent as it went a few days before contractions started 😂

[@JulieNick28]

@@NikkiAMurrayAvon wow. Now my “baby” is 23 so things may be different but I thought they’d want you to deliver sooner. I thought once the water breaks they need things to move, risk of infection, etc. my contractions weren’t starting so they had to put me on Pitocin. (Not sure if right spelling).

[@NikkiAMurrayAvon]

@@JulieNick28 my waters broke at 34 weeks so at that stage they give you antibiotics and steroid injections as they want to prolong the delivery but also prepare them if they do come earlier. I was in hospital for a few days being monitored to make sure he wasn’t in distress. Typically the day I was discharged from hospital after no signs of labour, my contractions started, and boy did they start! I had a very quick labour so my boy wanted out 😂. He’s 3.5yrs now :)

[@JulieNick28]

@@NikkiAMurrayAvon interesting! Thanks for sharing. Glad everything turned out great!! I learned once labor started that my boy had flipped breech. They think that’s what broke my water. So fun to hear everyone’s experiences as they are all so different.

[@ca89corona]

Loved this - thanks for ALWAYS keeping it real, I personally love the TMI! I know I can count on you for the facts/truth! Having my first little one in less than 7 weeks & I’m so excited, nervous but kinda scared lol so these vids help! Congrats again on the beautiful healthy baby boy 💙

[@reptilefae]

I had my son (my only child) all natural and the way you talked about HAVING to push, INSANE. Only something you can understand with a natural birth. I give credit to you for holding it because i COULD NOT hold it at ALL 😂 im so proud of you and nick ❤ congrats on sweet Wyatt.

[@jaks.noelle]

Love how relaxed you are! Congratulations 🎊🎉

[@KristenxLeanne]

Thank you!!

[@leahbrackenbury4556]

So glad you made it to the hospital & congratulations!! Side note, I had an epidural & still very strongly felt my body involuntarily pushing for me when it was time. Everyone’s bodies are so amazingly different.

[@nikkimunno2720]

Girl your body knew exactly what to do this time! You’re amazing💙I’m so happy he is here & can’t wait to see Harlow w her baby brother.

I love that you were like ‘but I haven’t finished my nurse baskets’ 😂

[@larkinadkins5784]

you’re a great person for working on the nurse’s bags instead of getting as much sleep as possible 😂 i would’ve been closing my eyes immediately 🤣

[@KristenxLeanne]

😅 I was so determined.

[@KristineS73]

YAYYYYY!! I know all about the pop! It woke me from a dead sleep at 5am!!

[@KristenxLeanne]

Ha ha yes it will definitely do that! So funny that he thought I peed myself I’m like pee. An amniotic fluid comes out of two different holes. 😂

I love that she dipped like it was the end of a party. Congratulations!! So happy you had a healthy baby and delivery.

[@KristenxLeanne]

Thank you!! 😂😂

[@staceyp5431]

Wow! What an wild labor and delivery experience! You sure know how to make them KZbin worthy, in a sense. LOL I’d love to hear your experience on the differences of a medicated and unmedicated delivery. I’m pregnant and am unsure if I want to go medicated again or try unmedicated this time so hearing your experience may be helpful. As always thank you for sharing yourself with us❤

[@misSimplicityXx]

So why did you call triage if you didn’t listen to what they had to say haha. Told y’a to head over right away girl!! 😂 congrats!!!!

[@KristenxLeanne]

Thank you!! Calling triage - the purpose was not to get instructions, the purpose was to let them know we’d be coming in in the next eight hours so that knew when to expect us, or within at least the next few hours. which they ask you to do! 😂I probably wouldn’t have called them now that I’m thinking about it. But Nick wanted to prepare them. He works with nurses and hospitals daily and felt good about letting them know

[@mermaiddiyartist8119]

@@KristenxLeanneexactly!! That’s what they told me to do too 😅

[@kwheeler7915]

Do you wish you would have gone in sooner after you talked to triage? I know it’s hindsight’s 20/20, but could you have had more control in the situation? (From a person with no kids and knows very little about the whole start process 😬)

[@Suebearish]

Better not to call triage if you plan to wait at home for awhile. They are trained to tell patients to come right in

[@Suebearish]

I had 5 unmedicated births. The first was not prepared for , was not a long active labor but painful and lots of stitches. The others were all so different So many wonderful things about unmedicated but hard too when they are fast and furious like yours

[@chantellarranaga4272]

Congrats Kristen, Nick and to Harlow to becoming a big sister❤ Kristen you are such an amazing momma and are so inspirational to me. You have a very beautiful family 🥰

As someone who had a rapid accidental home birth with my first baby ( my daughter is the same age as Harlow) When you weren’t going straight to the hospital I was so stressed I was like “omg you’re going to run out of time”

[@Rachelx123]

My first daughter I had a medicated birth, my second came so quick I wasn’t able to get an epidural because she came so quick and my third, I was induced but didn’t get an epidural and I personally loved the way I felt after my unmedicated births. Being able to instantly shower after birth was amazing!!

[@skywonderly1768]

Girl you’re such a bad ass I can’t leave till I have finish the nurse baskets!! You’re such a doll and a bad ass… your baby’s are gorgeous girl!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@mirandadavis1794]

Congrats he is such a little cutie, Harlow is going to be the best big sister ever!!

[@lubamiracohen6870]

Unmediated birth all the way! I had my first baby induce, epidural and never hold her on my chest. And my boy was very similar story to you and I choose birth without intervention and I had a hypnobirth. My recovery was so much easier with my second and he was completely different baby compare to my daughter and I believe because he came when he was ready rather then being evicted from my body like my daughter. 2 days after he was born I was cleaning my house and went out for dinner. Even my vagina felt so much better because I didn’t have to push like crazy!

[@mermaiddiyartist8119]

Being induced hurts so much more 😢😢😢 they induced me 3 times. Never again.

You are amazing and so incredibly beautiful!!!! You certainly have 2 gorgeous little babes!!!!! Congratulations to you, Nick and Harlowe ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ispycassie]

my water with all 3 never broke but I was in full active labor so once it broke babies came out within 2 minutes. one of them I was a minute between contractions, 30 mins away but it was a weekend and full of traffic so it took forever. we got there, they refused to break mine but then they did it by accident and BOOM. but also WELCOME TO THE WORLD lil man! you are so blessed mama with your babies and husband. and this video made me cry and want another even after 3.

[@candraleann]

[@kyrarobley6843]

Im so happy I stumbled across your channel! I absolutely loved listening and watching this. I would LOVE to hear a comparison of unmedicated vs. medicated birth story!! I had my first baby 3 months ago and i say “unmedicated” but i did have the nitrous oxide gas so I guess I could say i gave birth without epidural but i am still so proud of myself. It really is crazy that your body just pushes and you cant control it!!

[@tikybutler7862]

Same! But by the time I got the gas I was already fully dilated and ready to deliver so the gas did nothing for me. However, I wasn’t fully effaced so they told me not to push and I was like “how TF you dare tell me not to push?! My body is doing what is supposed to be doing, i have no control over that!” By far the craziest thing they told me. How do you tell your body to stop doing what its meant to do? Lol

[@KristenxLeanne]

Welcome! ❤ glad to have you! Congrats on your baby!! I would say that’s pretty close to natural! ❤ I will def do a video comparing!

[@tinapulseify]

Congrats!! I had my baby boy in august as well and named him Wyatt.. GREAT name lol 🎉🎉 curious if you would make a video on your choice to circumcise or not. My husband and I went around and around about that decision. California rates for that procedure are dropping quite a bit but dads still want to hold onto the tradition sometimes - I’ve been following your content for years and love your stuff ❤

Why is it that when we're having contractions we moan the same way we did when we were making the baby 😂😂😂

Had a similar labour. Got 1 x lidocaine shot. They didn't wait and went straight to town on the stitching. I had to hold my baby on my chest as they stiched me and took about 20 mins. Felt it all! The stitching was definitely one of the worst parts to birth. Uggh ! 😺 Is tense remembering..

I had 3 different births, an epidural, non medicated and then a local medication in the IV. The high after the non medicated was amazing. I had a little with the IV meds but the same and then nothing with the epidural. The endorphins are just amazing but you only get them with non meds.

[@melrhea12]

Omg I’m crying! 😭 beautiful! I had my daughter at 34 1/2 weeks. I almost had her in my toilet at home. I needed to push but I squeezed my legs today, drove myself to the hospital and got there JUST in time to push! This is soo relatable lol it was all natural too. You go mama!

Omg I cannot even imagine driving myself while Nick was driving me down!!’ The contractions were so painful! Props to you!!!

[@April_B.W]

Yay…so excited for this 🩵👶🏼🩵

[@katrinamauk1907]

I had an epidural, and I was not in control of my body, my body did the pushing with every contraction. I didn't have pain, but I felt all the feels to push him out. Especially when the doctor told me to stop pushing and wait, I was thinking "this man thinks I am in control of this at all!" It was nearly impossible to hold it back. So the feeling of not having to push with an epidural isn't true for everyone. Also, when you were laboring in the bathroom I thought, She is gunna have herself a car baby if she doesn't hurry! lol I am so glad you made it!!

[@breebree1166]

After my 2nd baby coming SO fast earlier this year I was yelling at you through the screen 😂😂 congrats!

The lidocaine shots around the spine during a cesarean are the WORST part, of that part. I told the triage ladies I had an intolerance to morphine and then they gave me morphine-based medications; so they basically borderline OD'ed me. I had chest pains, struggling to breath, etc.
