Hello friends, family and fellow youtube explorers. The content and vlogs on this channel covers many different areas and aspects, but they all have my everyday life in common. I share a lot of DIY projects where I mainly try new sewing projects and my learnings! You will find vlogs and I also speak a bit about cesarean birth, as I want to share my story in a way that I was missing to hear from someone else when I was pregnant. Stay awhile and hang out - hopefully you you leave with a new story, some DIY inspiration, maybe a sense of recognition in parenthood and new energy... It is also very possible that you will leave with some cat hair on your sweater, the urge to make a homemade item and having added a scandinavian word or two to your vocabulary. Välkommen!
Currently posting on Mondays Instagram - @sandrakjaerstad DM for questions or projects / collaborations
Great concept! You might also very much enjoy Sewing Therapy's 'How to Make a Ring Scarf' as a superb gift idea or just another fun way to make our wardrobe bespoke. (No ring needed, you will see!) Very little fabric is required, so it can be quite deluxe, such as Liberty of London. :) Even as a newbie I can comprehend your tutorial and hers nicely - they are related, IMHO. :) Thank you for your inspiring video. <3
Thanks a lot for the video! Because I am on the way to buy overlock machine, and it also will be my first one :) I was looking reviews of this overlock and after this video I became more confident in my choise :)
It makes me a little sad that the root of the decision was fear of birth, but I'm glad that you were able to go into birth with more peace of mind, however that happened. As a mom who has had both a planned c-section (first baby due to breech presentation) and a vaginal birth (second baby), I can say from at least one mom's experience that vaginal birth is very powerful. My vaginal birth recovery was much harder physically than my c-section recovery and vaginal birth itself was extremely intense and painful, and yet, I would choose the vaginal birth a million times over. Everyone has the right to their choice, so I'm happy this was a good choice for you, but I can't deny the little part of me that thinks, "I wish you could have experienced it the other way." Very interesting topic and definitely a viewpoint that is underrepresented here on RU-vid, so thanks for putting this video out there!
Thank you for sharing! And for keeping such a open and empathetic energy while doing so 🙌 It makes me super happy that you had empowering experiences. Motherhood opens the mind, body and understanding in ways that are hard to explain.
@@MrsKjrstad ❤️❤️❤️ unfortunately, my births were not very empowering. Both times, my care teams did things against my will that made the experiences really rough. That's part of why I advocate so hard for women finding a provider who is supportive and kind and uses actual statistics to talk to pregnant women instead of scare tactics. Anyway, I'm glad that your c-section seems to have been a good experience for you!
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the H Q D U P S leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
I just had my IUD removed today so my husband and I can start trying and confirmed with my obgyn that an elective C-section wasn't going to be an issue for me. She thankfully said her goal is to make sure my birth is as positive for me as possible and if that means having an elective C-section thats what we'll do. Labor is just so unpredictable and the idea of ending up in a situation that i have absolutely no control in is not for me. I would much rather have a routine surgery where things go a lot more according to plan
I had an amazing natural birth experience and I’m happy with that. But now I’m older and I’ve decided that if I ever get pregnant again, I’ll try to have an elective c-section.
Forget vacations, renting a house or educating your kids, skin care from a dermatologist and healthcare... superfake products will undoubtedly become more popular and bigger. Most people will go to HIDUPZ to buy a favorite bag due to their living budget.
This is my first (but not the last) purchase of a D U P B A G Y bag. For the affordable price, it exceeded my expectations! It's soft, the perfect size, and the color is gorgeous! Love this bag!
I have been following your RU-vid channel for a long time. You are making such a nice videos. I have some opinions regarding your RU-vid channel. If you want then I would love to share it with you. I hope it will be help you a lot.
Just like you I knew that I wanted a c section even years before I could think of becoming pregnant one day and I was pretty much for the same reasons you mentioned. Then I moved to France where they never ever accept a c section. I spoke to my midwife and doctor. My midwife was so nice, she tried to convince me to have a natural birth but at the same time she respected my choice and I tried to convince my doctor, but not just her but the whole hospital never accepted that, and my doctor was so offended when I said to her that I wanted a c section. Finally, I did set numerous appointments with numerous doctors and could finally find a doctor in a public hospital in a smaller town, she has set my cesarean date for the next month and I am finally going to have a c section just based on my choice, now I am just a little bit worried about postpartum and the scars and strech marks. I want to tell people that the negative outcome of a natural birth are a lot more than a c section, you should do your research and you will know it.
Thank you for sharing! I hope that you get the birth that is just right for you 🫶 I understand that worry, for me I have never been more comfortable in my body as I am after birth. There are stretch marks and I have a scar but they fade very fast and it is as if you see your self with very clear eyes. Not sure if it was the hormones or what 😆
Hello! Could you make a video for the pattern? I was looking to make the same dress as I found the perfect fabric, but was struggling finding the right pattern.
Hi! I used the Lutterloh system. Found a dress shape I could work off of to alter neckline and so on. So that is the first tip! Will try to fit in a pattern video soon 😊
I truly enjoy your channel! I will be excited to see your demonstration of sewing with beads. I've been told to wear protective goggles when cutting into beads or sequins, as they can easily fly into your eye. I have yet to sew with them, but your videos are inspiring me. Also, you have beautiful nails! If you have any nail care tips for making them look so gorgeous, please feel free to share! 😄Have a wonderful and creative week! ☺
Aw thank you so much!! That means the world to me 🥰 And that is a super tip, actually just broke a needle overlocking the sequin fabric 😂😅 Nail tips - noted for next videos 🙌
@@MrsKjrstad LOL! RIP needle(s). Sorry I am late to responding, RU-vid keeps turning off my notifications, or is buggy and some come in while others do not. I am looking forward to your future videos, as we have similar styles and interests. Thanks again! You are most welcome! 💖🤗😊
Yeah, it’s a pinch but not painful or anything. The needle they use looks much more scarier than it actually is lol (from what I remember a decade ago)
Its amazing to learn that someone far away from me (I am in Canada) has the exact same story regarding their preference on C section. Your thought process was exactly as mine. Its nice to come across your video to know I am not the only one who feels this way about natural delivery.
I had a C-section an emergency C-section with my first and a completely natural delivery with my second. I have to say the natural birth was easier after the fact . I should have had a C-section on my second just because my blood pressure was out of control for my delivery. I don't understand why my doctor induced me I could have had a stroke or an aneurysm. I was young though and I didn't stand up for myself and thankfully everything worked out. It's nice to know that doctors listen sometimes❤❤❤
😊❤💜☺️😇🙏✝️⛪️🕊🧶Hi Hun, I love you're lovely, and I wanted to make some. But I'm Real new and how to use my smartphone. I tried to download you're pattern. 😂😂 But I I'm having trouble 😂😂, I'm afraid I don't know what I am doing 😊. Please Hun, is there any way you can send me the full size scale pattern on paper ? I would very happy to pay you for the pattern. Just tell me the price. And I'll send you cash and my address 😊❤ Okay Hun 😂😂❤. I'm an old Grandma, and I am still having trouble trying using this cellphone . Thank you Hun, I hope you can help. Have a blessed week 😊❤
Oh! Thank you for reaching out! ❤️ The pattern is very simple, if you pause the video when I show it you should be able to take down the measurements and draft it to a piece of paper 😃🙏
Yeah id rather have a basic recovery from planned c section rather than a loose, ripped up vagina, dealing with incontinence, and using poise pads when i pee everytime i laugh. If you do your homework, your c section recovery is a BREEZE, you can heal faster than a vaginal birth from my primary elective nonmedical c section experience, compared to all my friends with their conehead, broken limbed, vaginal babies 💔 and they had SO MUCH negativity to say about a c section but i showed them 😏
And wow, not wanting judgement from elective csection you and OP liked your very judgemental post when you really went there on those who had vaginal birth when you chose to put your child in more danger so your vagina didn't get "ruined"..selfish. and "conehead" babies shape up to normal heads BTW..and your broken limb remark, that is rare and usually an emergency csection would occur if the OBGYN seen there was something wrong in the birth canal. Inconvenience happens with csection moms too.
