36 WEEKS PREGNANCY UPDATE | ALREADY DILATED!? 😳 

Hello Madison! This was a wonderful update thank you I can't believe how close you are! :)

i had 4 natural births and 5 c-sections, you do what's right for you. my daughter had my grandchild 2 years ago and had the epidural but it didn't work. she was is awful pain and there wasn't anything i could do...she handles it so well. my son-in-law and i just kept her focused and it was over before she knew it. good luck little one, enjoy and take advantage of the hospital. send the baby to the nursery to get some sleep, you'll have a lifetime with her

Love this! I'm 31 weeks and it helps me so much to watch these cause you are just a little a head of me. It's getting me so excited! My husband is finishing up the lighting and painting baby girls room and I can't wait for him to finish so I can get all her furniture set up.

Really loving your updates. I was 40+9 when I went into labour with my baby girl. She is 4 now and time has flown so fast. Enjoy every moment! X

I am so happy for you! I can only imagine how excited you and your family must be! Hopefully you have a very easy delivery. Thanks for the updates!

This was so sweet, I love that you’re prioritizing the baby ❤️❤️

I’m actually really excited! Praying for a safe delivery❤️❤️

So painful but so worth it! My one and only baby boy I had at 38 weeks, my water broke at home labored for 12 hours and pushed him out in 30 minutes.. he was a 9 pounder lol And I can’t even remember what the pain felt like after my epidural! You got this!!

All the best Madison ...and just be positive about everything💕

I’m sooo excited for you!!! My birth plan with my first was to get an epidural too, but it only worked on one side, and then they redid it and it didn’t work at all!! I regretted not looking into natural labor coping techniques just in case. It might be a good idea to watch some natural births or look into some methods just in case-I only warn you because I care!! I hope you have a smooth and healthy delivery!

Omg I’m so excited for Baby Ryleigh to be here!!!

Other than my bump I had no symptoms of pregnancy. No morning sickness, No Braxton hicks. I had cravings in the first few weeks which was Orange cordial. Towards the end I had real bad acid reflux and painful hips. I went 4 day's over my due date. I'm pretty good with pain and lasted 6 hours at home in labour then went into hospital. They broke my waters and as soon as they did I went straight to 9cm I had gas and air and a Meptid shot. The cord got stuck around his shoulder so I had to have an Episiotomy, he then came right out. Do what's right for you Madison there are no rules. You sound ready even if you don't feel ready. It does sound like you won't make it to term. I'm so excited for you. You will not take your eyes of her for the first few day's. Enjoy every moment xoxo

So happy for you Madison! Love how prepared you are, you got this mama! It will all work out. Everything is ok. We’ll still be here watching when you get back from your well deserved break!

I’m soo excited for you guys!! ❤️❤️

You look incredible Maddy! I'm so excited for you :D

1st baby 39 weeks (labored for 23hrs) 2nd baby 37 weeks (labored for 11hrs) 3rd baby 38 weeks (labored for 10hrs) My water broke with none of my kids, and with the last two the doctor broke my water and I dilated from 7cm to 10cm in 5 minutes. The doctor was shocked both times, and the nurse almost had to be the one to deliver them.

So excited for you and Joel!! ❤️❤️💕😍💕

I’m loving the nursery! This video made my day. 💐💐💐💐 At home births seem like such an intense experience! 😲

Madison, you are so ready for this. I've seen people come into the store to buy their baby furniture AFTER the baby was born. There were also many times when a dad showed up to buy a car seat when mom and baby were ready to come home from the hospital (one amusing guy came to us after visiting two other locations earlier in the day because he didn't like the selection, with his wife calling him repeatedly from the hospital to remind him that they were ready to leave). You are already so far ahead of most of the people I deal with. P.S. I can always identify the new dads because during baby and mom's first day at home, Dad will come to the store asking for nipple cream and nursing pads. I'd stock up now or let Joel know what and where to find them.

I’m so excited for you!! 😊💕💕

So excited for you 💕💗

I think it’s completely normal to be anxious about everything. I really wish you the very best!!! Love you

So excited for you! Xx

You’re soo close! The swan mobile is adorable. You’re going to be a sweet and amazing mommy. Love you. 👶🏼💕👶🏼💕👶🏼💕👶🏼

I’m so happy for you both!! Try to stay calm- it’s out of your control!! Rest and Ryleigh will be here soon!

With both of my kids I went past my DD. My first was born 40 weeks and 4 days and got induced with him. My second was born 40 weeks 2 days and she came all by herself (without induction, that's what I mean). With both I had an epidural and they came fast so I would highly recommend the epidural.

38 weeks for my daughter is such a blessing. Wishing you the best love you

Love the update! My birthday is October 3rd 😀 I can't wait to see her beautiful face!!! Super excited for what's to come ♡ lots of love & positive vibes coming your way 🤗😘💕

Love the Vlog Madison! 💕 I know you and Joel can't wait to meet your beautiful baby girl 🤰🏼👶🏼🎀💞 I know your birth will go really well 🙏🏽🙏🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

My son came 3 weeks early. Motherhood is such a blessing girl, I’m so excited for you. My son just turned 7 & it’s so fun!

When I started my weekly visits at 36 weeks I started out at 90% effaced and around 1 cm dilated, so my dr told me the same thing that it could happen at any minute or not until my due date. But I stayed the same at the rest of my weekly visits until 40 weeks and then was scheduled for an induction because they were worried he was getting too big. Little man decided to show his face the day before I was set to be induced. I had a long labor but the epidural was magic and I only had to push for 15 minutes. I miss those last weeks so much! Enjoy them!

Love these videos 😍😍

I had my first at 37 weeks was laying on my moms couch saying bye to my sister on the phone say she was flying to Italy for a school trip and my water broke I felt so bad but my mom said it was fine and drove me to the hospital. With my second oh she was stubborn I was overdue 41 weeks and a few days. She’d give me contractions for a whole weeks straight 10 mins a part unless I was asleep or eating. Worst week of my life. But in the end it was totally worth it. I love my girls wouldn’t change a thing 💝

My first baby tried coming at 28wks but with strict bedrest, I made it to 38.5wks. He was vaginal with epidural. He came super fast. 5hrs of labor tops! I was 6cms when I got to the hospital so he was quick. My 2nd and 3rd sons were born at 36wks. They were both breech so unfortunately I had to have a c section with them. I also have a deformity of my uterus which is why my babies came earlier than expected. Can’t wait to see baby Ryleigh!! You’re gonna do great!! All the pain will all be worth it and forgotten once she’s in your arms!! 😘💜

Yes epidurals are good. My daughter I was in labor for 3 days literally. My son was about 8 hours. But the pain was horrible. And don't let anyone shame you for it either

She will be here soon. Im so excited for you!! Omg is so close! Glad that you have a birth plan and everything ready Madison. I had 2 sections because of health issues the first one at 38 weeks and the second one at 30 weeks. Aww Ollie is soo cute! Good luck and God Bless you guys! 💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

I found your channel when I got pregnant, I am due Oct 10! So close to your due date. I went into labor with my first at 40w4d and I really thought I was going to be early. But this pregnancy, my OB said it's easier and quicker the second/consequent time around so we'll see! Im 38w4d today. Good luck and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy!

You got this girl! I was 2cm at my 36 week appointment at had my son at 37.5 this past July! With the anxiety just remember to breathe- I have bad anxiety too and the thing that helped me through was to focus on breathing.

I was 40 weeks and 1 day! Back labor is real. Epidural is amazing. And I never heard anyone mention it, but the peanut ball they give you is great! Best of luck!

I was 90 percent effaced and 3cm dilated for weeks with my first son Zeppelin. And he still went over 2 weeks and 6 days. I hope your little lady is nicer to you! 💛

How exciting that she's almost here!!! My last Dr appt I had before labor I was 1/2 centimeter dilated and I don't remember how effaced I was but my water broke at 2:30 am 12 days before her due date. I never made it past 5 cm during labor and ended up having to have a c-section. Every woman and every labor is definitely so different. I'm praying that everything will go smoothly and safely and can't wait to see her and hear how you're enjoying motherhood!

Ya I love your baby update!! I’m due in jan with a baby girl and your videos are so helpful

My son came a day early and labor was about a 13 hour labor with two hours of pushing! I’m really good with pain but the second I had the real contractions I opted for the epidural lol I’m wishing you a quick and healthy delivery!!

I'm so so excited to see the baby😊😊

So excited to meet you're baby girl. I'm also pregnant with a baby girl due in January and you're videos really help! Where did you get the crib sheet from and the cloud mobile? 💖

Bring movies to watch or your favorite music while your progressing...helps the time to pass more quickly. And getting the epidural is just fine. It can actually help with the contractions, becuz then your body is not fighting them. Good luck Madison. Can't wait to see her. You'll do just fine.

I loved my blooming bath! We just put it in the dryer on the spin cycle after each use and it was super convenient!! We also had that bath you just got & never used it 🤷🏼‍♀️

I have been following your journey since your first pregnancy update because I am also pregnant but a little further behind you . I am currently 25 weeks and watching your updates gives me an idea of what my future holds lol . I am also scared of labor and pain . But currently I am just experiencing acid reflux and lots of bathroom breaks when I walk anywhere in public. And occasionally I get this twisted cramp in my lower abdomen and it makes me feel dizzy and fainty . Not sure if that’s Braxton Hicks at it’s early stages or baby doing hiccups . I’m a first time mom so I don’t know the reason for everything that goes on in my body even though I read and watch a lot of videos on pregnancy but it’s hard to really connect if what I’m through is what other people are describing online . And I haven’t bought anything for the preparation of baby except two outfits today . Not really sure what it is I need . Luckily I have some friends that have kids already that is planning my baby shower so hopefully they will let me know what to get. I’m excited to meet my baby and I can feel your excitement too :)

OLLIE IS SO CUTE I WANT HIM!!! ❤️❤️❤️😭

I'm glad your on top of things. I have seen kids get hurt by furniture filling on them. You are a great mommy to your little 4 legged babies and new baby girl.

I was in labor 35.5 hours with my son and never went into labor with my daughter. with my son I went into labor about 3 hours before my scheduled induction at 38 weeks and 5 days. My magnesium levels were low so the Pitocin actually slowed my labor down. I also had preeclampsia so my bp was up as well as my heart rate. After 34 hours I was finally fully dialeted and my dr wanted me to push (all the while keeping her eyes on the monitors) I had to have an emergency csection for my health. My son was perfectly healthy at 8 lbs 11 oz and 21 1/4 inches. when I was pregnant with my daughter I told her I was going to potentially go through that all over again... I had her at 39 weeks via csection. She was 6 lbs 14 oz and 19 inches. Its hard not to be nervous and anxious but do try to relax/find your happy place bc the baby can feel your anxiety. You will do wonderful and you and Joel will be amazing parents!

Omg yesss i cant wait she is coming ❤❤

80% effaced is awesome! That's more progress than dilation. I'm guessing it will be a fast labor when she comes.

My first baby was 4 days early , 2nd one was 4 days late, 3rd was 15 days early, 4th was 14 days early and my 5th was 13 days early. Good luck relax and enjoy the ride. You can do it ❤️🙏🏼

Good luck Madison with your pregnancy 🤰!! You will do good in the name of God!!!

Due with my 2nd but first girl on Nov 24th! Love to watch all the baby videos, makes me even more excited to have a girl!

I watch every single pregnancy video! 💕 I can’t believe you’re baby will be here soon already ☺️ I’m almost 28 weeks now.

Almost there girly! First time mom here, just had my baby in july. I had to be induced at 41 weeks and 3 days...I thought I had all the symptoms of labor but he just wouldn't come. Good luck 💕

I’m first finally 💗 what baby app update do you use ? Btw I love your blogs

So happy for ya keep us posted and spoil her rotten

I was in labor for about 33 hours, but it ended up being a c-section after regular and vacuum didn’t work. He was born at exactly 40! Weeks! He was put in the NICU for respiratory reasons and had headaches from the vacuum. It was definitely hard, but we got out the same day and now he’s a happy and healthy boy!

I'm glad you're being so real about knowing you're body and pain meds. You also might be having lots of BM's because the baby is pushing on your large intestine. So my first child I started having labor pains on Thanksgiving which was no fun cause I wanted to eat lol. But I ended up having my baby boy the following Thursday and 11 days early, I tried having him with no pain meds but I ended up having an emergency C-Section as his heart rate was dropping. Baby was fine and I was good. Wishing you the best luck and a healthy delivery. XOXO Reece from AZ

I'm really so happy for you maddy.. 💐 can't wait to see her..

#earlysquad yesss new vloggy 😍😍😍😍

I was 36 wks and dilated/effaced haha! I think I’m a week ahead of you. Went to my 37 wk appt this Thursday and was 2cm/75% effaced 😮. Drs say won’t make it to my 10/14 due date and I totally agree with you about staying active. I’ve exercised 5-6 days a week throughout this pregnancy and I swear it’s what’s helped progress things, also. Fingers crossed for us 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 it’s almost that time for baby girls arrival. Yay! 🎉

I had epidural both my pregnancies. The CRNA that did my epidural also said that she believes having it helps you dilate faster instead of slower. With my daughter I had her at 37 weeks. With my son I had contractions every 5 minites for 2 weeks before I had him at 39 weeks. And yes I went to the hospital but was sent home because I was not progressing with my son. It wasn't braxton hicks, the nurse told me that I'm having real contractions, but could be days before I go on labor because I was barely 1cm dilated. It was hard for me to sleep for many nights.

I love how open you are about the TMI part... Hardly no one will share that its nice to know youtubers "are still human" lol

This was so helpful to hear, thank u! I need to have this baby and I feel like he’s so low as well. I’m 34 weeks tm and this is already happening to me so I feel like mine in the same situation as u. I know I’m having this baby before the due date. I feel like there’s no way I won’t start dilating early like u did

I’m almost 39 weeks pregnant and a first mom like you we do worry bout him being healthy! My dr told me I was 1cm dilated and I walk a lot so I’m hoping to have him soon I don’t think I will make it to my due date oct 11

Yay I love your videos

Omg can’t wait to meet your baby girl 💕💕💕

I was 38 weeks with my first and 36 with my second. They were both very healthy!!!!! I was induced with my first due to high blood pressure, then went in naturally with my second. I also had an epidural and I'm with ya it made me really be able to be in the moment to where the pain wasn't all my focus. I can't wait, I think you will go this week or next, I can see your ready!!!!!!

I delivered at 37 weeks with baby #1 and I was 4cm for like 2 weeks. I had my 37 week dr appointment the day before I went into labor but for some reason my dr didn't think my cramping pains was contractions or say anything about my high blood pressure that ended up being preeclampsia that put me into labor.

We loved that angel care bath for my second daughter.

I was 1 week overdue. It was the longest week of my life!😣 I can't wait to see your little girl😍😍

37 weeks and was 8 centimeters dialated when I got to the hospital. I was in active labor for 4 and 1/2 hours and only had to push for 30 mins.

With my first baby i was stuck at 1 cm dilated for like 2 months. I knew i wasnt gonna make the due date. He ended up coming 2 weeks early

When is her due date? My nephews due date is October 20! It’s so close!

Each pregnancy is different. My first was born 19 days before his due date. Fast and easy, my second born wasn't. He was born 9 days before his due date. Long and hard. I was so scared with my first.

Someone else mentioned it, but it’s worth looking into natural labor techniques just in case. Meditation helped me get the job done and just staying focused. And of course having my husband and Mom there helped :)

I don't dilate very well. 3 kids and did not dilate past 1 cm. Had to be induced with my first. The other 2 had to be c sections. One was emergency and the other was planned c. My first baby was exactly on his estimated date .. Valentine's Day! 3.5 hrs labor from injection of inducement meds to crying baby #1! Congratulations and enjoy it all!!! With baby 3, it was my first time ever feeling what contractions were, what my water breaking felt like, and what a mucus plug felt like. My other 2 we're so quick and the second was an emergency c section so I didn't experience a lot of stuff with him. #1 he was 40 weeks #2 he was 40 weeks and 2 days #3 she was 10 days early. My second son wanted to have his birthday the weekend before she was scheduled to be born and she decided she was not gonna miss his birthday. They are 10 days apart in May, but he's 3 yrs older!

Im so glad that you are sticking to "your" birth plan!!!!! Good for you for knowing your strengths and weaknesses....thats all that matters!!!! You will do great!!!

Omg you're so close and I'm so excited for you! I can't wait till your baby girl comes to the world and I love your pregnancy updates 💖

😱😱😱 time flies !!!! You’re so close to giving birth ! So excited !!!!! , will you be filming the birth ?

I was 4CM with my daughter at 37 weeks. My daughter put me in labor at 39 weeks 5 days. I was in labor for 28hrs the pain was horrible but I did it without medicine but it’s not a bad thing to have an epidural don’t let anyone shame you for it! Can’t wait for more updates!!

That bath is THE BEST.

Yes! Get the epidural! I have had 5 kids (including twins), and help deliver babies. (Im a respiratory therapist). Go with the epidural. Stick to it haha. It can make things so much more comfortable, so much smoother, and doesnt effect the baby! So happy for you!

Girl .. my son was 8 days late. I gained over 100 pounds.. he weighed in at 11.5 .. 21 inches long .. yes I had a csection but we knew it was possible once I started getting so big. You look beautiful and you got this. Good luck with everything!! Jill

1st baby was born 2 days before her due date. 2nd baby was born 3 weeks before her due date. My first was an easy delivery and pregnancy my second was a hard pregnancy and delivery. Everybody is different and every pregnancy is different. You're going to do great. 😊

Your due date should be 2 days ahead of my. First time mom having a girl here. Good luck with everything. And I’m with you on that anxiety and stress thinking about labor.

Hey girl, I was 38 weeks with my first and the last three, I was at 39 weeks. All of mine were induced because I'm diabetic but everything went well and all are healthy.

Hey hope everything goes well... I was 39 weeks went I went to labor and delivery and he is almost 2 months old

I literally have all the same symptoms you feel. That lightening crotch is no joke it’s so uncomfortable !

Same with the epidural. Needles are virtually painless (due to me have 23+ piercings) but other pain I'm a wuss. And if I get vaginal pain it makes my anxiety sky rocket.

With my first pregnancy I labored at home for about 4 hours then went to the hospital and 45 minutes later gave birth to my son, it happened so quick that I wasn't able to get the epidural, so with my second I went to the hospital as soon as I started labor. This is such an exciting time so take it easy and enjoy yourself

I just had my son Thursday, I had to be induced which made my contractions worse than if I had naturally gone into labor. Get the epidural if you can’t handle pain. I can’t either and wow it really helped. Postpartum care is the one thing I would tell you that is so important and not talked about enough. Wow I’m struggling. Look into that. That’s my advice for sure.

I had my first baby at 39 weeks. Easy labor. The whole process was 12 hours was at the hostipal for 6 before little man came out.

Girl you get that epidural I will get it again if I ever have another!

I'm almost 10 weeks pregnant and I'm high risk. Due to complications with my 2 second pregnancy (I'm on my 4th pregnancy baby #5) my doctor says I have to have a c section. I wanna wish you luck and send my love and support.
