VLOG: preparing for labor, baby names we love but won’t be using + 29th birthday!

[@21colyer]

Unless intervention is NEEDED it tends to lead to more intervention which naturally brings more chance for complications. Don’t let them scare you into a scheduled induction because it’s convenient for them, if it’s not something you truly truly want. Sending the best wishes for however it turns out!!

[@tabbymyers]

Yess! Came here to say this same thing!

[@emmafriedmann6596]

I almost spit out my coffee when you put the music over Zac explaining his childhood name association 😂 so funny! Wishing you the best Clancy!!!! ❤

[@hannahsuej97]

I packed super minimally and it was great. The ONE thing (well 2) I wish I brought was SNACKS and ELECTROLYTES!! Mainly for the post partum stay. Sure Zac can go buy some or whatever but when it's the middle of the night and you're both drained and everything is closed, you're going to want some goodies right on hand. Can't believe baby will be here so soon! Best wishes with everything 💕

[@Moonbeams_SweetDreams]

Yes! Healthy snacks are a necessity!

[@starlaacland9427]

My sons name is Caleb and I’ve always found boys with that name to be very sweet! He’s 25 years old now and a social worker; he’s a very kind, compassionate person.❤oh and the meaning of his name is loyal.

[@meli.c.14]

Your soon to be ob/gyn resident doctor here, Clancy! Just did a presentation yesterday about how there’s a huge discrepancy with ultrasound imaging, especially when it comes to saying that baby is measuring larger! I hope this is comforting, and that you get to have a peaceful rest of your pregnancy! Cheering for you all along the way🎉

[@ClancyBurkeX]

Thank you!! Fingers crossed that’s the case for me haha 🥹❤️

[@shanmath5032]

Yes, I was told that my 3rd child,a boy, after 2 girls would be big. I was induced 10 days before due date and he turned out to be the smallest of my three! Wishing you all the best and a safe delivery.

[@dustmite723]

Yeah they said my sisters baby was going to be a lot bigger then he actually was 😊

[@marykramer123]

Yes! This is to true. I was told my baby was at least 8lbs she was only 7lb 2oz like a week later. I've heard from so many people that ultrasound estimates are rarely accurate.

[@jessicalompart9294]

It's crazy the amount of BS information that is sold to pregnant woman. Clancy you are perfect for your baby and your body is made perfectly for his birth. Your baby cannot be too big. They say it's your choice yet pressure you yo make a decision and give you all these BS facts. Ignore the noise Clancy, trust your intuition ❤

You could use Grayson instead of just Gray. My boys are Morgan and Ryan. Nothing outrageous. Ryan was going to be Quin, but we used that as his middle name. Kind of wish we’d stuck with it for a first name. One thing to keep in mind, though, is to figure out what his initials might spell. Kids can be cruel.

I cannot stand it lol

[@NessaStarkYoga]

The names Caleb, Colter, Colton, Camden, Elijah and Evan came to mind after hearing your choices. Can’t wait to hear what you picked!

[@disneyworlddreamer]

Induction is a convenience for THEM and generally more painful for you and tends to end in a C section because your body does not progress like it naturally would. I would not do it unless there is a real reason.

[@unicornhorse1632]

Yeah we love to have you in the hospital for 3 days while you could come 8cm dilated and deliver within 2 hours. Dumb.

Due dates are usually incorrect and the risks are low for uncomplicated pregnancies. My mom was over due by 10+ days for all of us. Do not let them pressure you into anything that you do not want to do.

[@abbynichole]

Happy belated birthday Clancy!! I just gave birth last week and definitely overpacked but the things I thought were super useful were the Frida mom peri bottle, nipple butter, electrolytes, easy to eat snacks (ex. sticks of honey, little packs of peanut butter, jerky), headphones, a portable fan, a reusable water bottle, and a towel. The hospital does provide a peri bottle but it’s really hard to aim, the Frida mom one is angled and I’ve still been using it every day! Also I know you talked about going with the flow for labor (medicated vs not), I didn’t get an epidural and my labor was 20 hours. I made a birth playlist which I listened to during early labor and the towel was nice after getting in and out of the shower/tub cause their towels are small. My husband fed me the snacks and electrolytes and used the fan on me when I was in transition cause I was super hot! Also if your hospital doesn’t provide one, a birth ball might be useful too. It probably seems like a lot but I feel like these things really made it possible for me to cope and stay energized. Also I know you might not need these things if you end up getting a scheduled C-section but if not these tools could help!! I hope you have a safe and positive delivery ❤️❤️

[@barbaragardner2113]

I enjoy watching you “love” being pregnant.

[@nakitabrooks2273]

i had a 2 vessel umbilical cord, they told me i had to go to a specialist and my baby could possibly not grow past 3lbs (in utero) and he could have kidney issues and all these things.. then when i was 8 months pregnant they said my baby was going to be close to 10lbs and i’d need a c section. to the point where if i made it to my 40 week appointment, a c section date was going to happen. i went into labor at 39 weeks and 4 days and my baby was 7lbs 14oz and no issues. it’s so nerve wracking when you’re pregnant and so much information is being thrown at you but try not to get to scared. everything will work out!!

[@ClancyBurkeX]

Omg that’s crazy!!! I’m so glad everything worked out for you - and thank you for sharing this because it makes me feel better!! ❤️

[@natalievanallen5723]

My 3rd and final baby was estimated to weigh 9lbs 4oz at 37 weeks, so I elected to have an induction to avoid a c-section. After a 23hr induction because he was not ready to be born, he ended up only weighing 7lb 13oz and was the smallest of my 3 babies.

[@kaylalarrave2019]

2 Suggestions for Postpartum: 1. Bring Pajama Dresses for the hospital so you do not have to keep taking pants/shorts on and off when they push down on your uterus 2. Order a few outfits for you to have to wear to those first few appointments/outings, I struggled postpartum trying to find a "cute outfit" in my closet. Happy Birthday Clancy! 🩷

[@heather4180]

Happy (belated) Birthday, Clancy! You look great. I do think you’ve dropped some. It’s probably why you’re feeling more pressure, especially if he’s on the bigger side/unable to engage in the birth canal. I was in a VERY similar situation with my son. He was a big baby. I did end up having a c-section. Everyone is different but my recovery wasn’t bad at all. Much like you I worked out (modified) as long as I could/felt comfortable. I think that helped with recovery. Either way you’re going to do great. 🩷💙🩵

[@samarnakleh3249]

You don’t need much at the hospital, I used to watch those videos and felt super overwhelmed. Apart from packing a bunch of stuff it was also spending unnecessary money. The perry bottle they give works just fine and the hospital gown is just fine you don’t need a fancy one. I just took an extra pair of pajamas, post partum undies, some clothes for the baby, a charger, snacks and a change of clothes for my husband, oh and toiletries.

[@jancarlson2165]

@@samarnakleh3249 I agree and the more you bring, those items can bring germs home with them. When I had my son I brought home 2 cases of formula, almost a whole pack of diapers, betaine, lotions, plus powder formula. And if course the blanket from the hospital I highjacked, the pink and blue receiving blanket 💙

From someone that went from a doctor's office (at 30 weeks!) straight to the hospital and gave birth a week later, you really only need your phone charger, the car seat installed, and a coming home outfit for the baby. I watched someone on KZbin pack a set of string lights for "ambiance". Spoiler alert, they never used them.

[@alexismorgan3286]

Hi Clancy! As a new boy mom myself, I love watching your pregnancy journey! I just HAD to share when you mentioned the hospital providing things. They definitely DO have everything you need. HOWEVER, and this was HUGE, they charge you for a lot at the end of your stay. Every time they offered the cooling spray, witch hazel pads, creams, etc. it was a charge. I don’t know why I didn’t think each individual item would be ticking up on the bill. It was nice not to have to bring everything, BUT their costs are much higher and me saying yes, give me it all, was v expensive 😅

I know you’re getting so much advice. Take it or leave it! I packed 2 nursing nightgowns and 1 going home outfit (basically when i was most comfortable in for my Last weeks of pregnancy). Some granny panties to help hold my pad in place and a long phone charger. Then snacks. Lots of snacks bc something about labor/delivery and nursing. You turn into a maniac who needs food NOW. Then 2 outfits for our baby and a blanket I wanted a picture of her in! Make it simple. Worst case scenario. A family member or hubby can go grab it!

[@betsybabf748]

Every baby I brought less to the hospital. By my 5th delivery, everything I knew I needed just fit into my purse. Every one of my babies was smaller than predicted by ultrasound. Ultrasound estimates are usually pretty off at the end. I'm smaller than you, 5'0, very petite with a small pelvic area, and I never had trouble delivering. Honestly, when my OBs have told me is many OBs prefer c-sections because they earn more money and they can schedule/determine timing, opposed to natural labor. Many OBs would say baby is too big, when they wouldn't even know that until Mom was pushing. My prior OB is now head of OB/GYN at our hospital and has stopped c-sections done due to that, which has cut c-sections yearly by a whopping 40%,

[@missreneealyse]

😂😂😂 I loved the baby names segment so much! Our son is named Miles Grey (we’re Canadian hense the spelling). I thought it was hilarious hearing your opinions on Grey especially, 😂. I hope people don’t get offended, to each their own when it comes to names, especially nowadays!

[@moss.is.awkward818]

Evan, Oliver, Elliot, Cohen are all great names! Also, you can leave the hospital without filling out your son’s birth certificate information. Don’t feel pressured to fill it out then. The hospital will hold the certificate until you call them with your son’s name. So many people don’t know that. I did this with my daughter for a week until we got to know her and felt sure about her name. It’s a big decision.

[@meganelise2186]

What name did you pick for your daughter? ❤

[@Iboughtthumbs]

For baby I would bring 2 outfits in different sizes and a sound machine can help as well. For you, if you are BF bring nipple butter and silverettes! You really don’t need a pump because you’ll be feeding baby. Bring home comforts for sleeping because 99% of the time you’ll be laying down craving comfort 😂 happy birthday!

[@AndyCleveland]

Our son was 17 days past due when they finally agreed to induce. Turns out he was rotated and his shoulders were preventing her water from breaking. After inducing, the doctor had to go up in there and rotate him 90° and use forceps while he had one foot up on the birthing table for leverage. It was a traumatic sight to behold. He finally came out at 10lbs and has a scar next to his eye to this day, 32 years later (DOB 9/25/92) due to the forceps. Plus my wife needed reconstructive surgery a year later. He should have been cesarean like our daughter was four years later.

[@koxy2343]

I’m right there with you if the hospital supply’s it, not need to pack more. Mom of three here…I recommend a pillow, blanket and your own towel because the hospitals are hard and small. Also bring your own diapers ( depends) for you. They’re more comfortable.

[@madisonstinson1517]

My baby was predicted to be 9+lbs and was only 7lb 9oz but she was also breech and I was SO glad to have a c section. Her head was and still is 99th percentile and my doctor wasn’t confident that she would fit through my pelvis so her being breech felt like a blessing because I didn’t have to make the decision. A c section felt more controlled for me and I had no complications and was out of bed 6 hours later, so definitely going with a c section for baby #2 as well. Best of luck!
