MY C-SECTION EXPERIENCE & POSTPARTUM: Recovery, Depression, Breastfeeding | Logan & Morgan 

I had an emergency csection myself so now I have mad respect for people who also have a csection.😅 Great job Mama!!!!!

I’m still sad about having an emergency C-section. I wouldn’t get past 6cm after being induced @37weeks. I am still recovering from it. I am blessed that she’s here and healthy! ❤️ 1-13-2021

I have had 3 c-sections and it is hard! I remember coming home and feeling the exact same way as you! Break down and all. That’s probably with every woman. Your hormones are going crazy on top of hurting and being on pain meds that make you “cloudy”. Good job mama! You did awesome! Loved this, thank you for sharing! ❤️💕

Aw. I know it’s been quite some time since the “first day home meltdown” but I hope you really do know that it does happen to all of us. It really does. I’ve had multiple moments like that. Just remember that it’s okay. Congratulations on your beautiful boy. You’re doing great Momma💙

I appreciate your honesty in this. I had a surprise c section last year; I knew like a week to 10 days prior. I felt bad for being upset too but it was the safest option for my baby and me. I watched more videos afterwards and no one talks about the pain and difficulty just doing everyday things. Our stories are very similar. I felt the same way after going home too because we had feeding issues too. But it all gets better 😊

I think the recovery after birth is the hardest part of the entire process! I didn't have a c-section but I know it has to be hard & I know you are a great mom! Being a mom is the greatest & Congratulations on your baby! :)

I am a mother of three and you went so in depth and mention so many things others dont! Good job mama, I have to tell you my first son when I got home I had a huge meltdown and I ended up punching my poor husband. It was so out of character for me I cried so much and for so long, I felt terrible and couldn't believe what I had done. Now we laugh about it but gosh hormones are crazy! Bless your mother in law i know how embarrassing it is during that time!

Morgan I had a C-section and mine was emergency one, because my daughters heart rate started to drop after being in labor for 36hrs.. It was ruff but she was so worth it.. You look Amazing, you don’t even look like you’ve had a baby... Can’t wait too see him grow.. Take care my friend...

Hi from Prince Edward Island, Canada. I had my beautiful identical twin boys in 2017 by c-section and the best thing for me was my finance was able to be with me through the whole experience. Right from getting registered to getting my spinal to recovery. Your baby is beautiful. All the best to you, Logan and Beckham.

You look great! My babies are 25 and 28. I remember all those feelings, tough but they do pass. Thank you for being so honest. It will help lots of new moms ❤️

Great job mama! You are so brave! I cried when you talked about Logan coming into the OR. I bet that must have felt like such a relief. Glad to hear you're doing better.

After I had my boy, I didn't feel connected to him, I felt like he was a strangers baby. The nurse told me that's normal, it would get better to only worry if that feeling doesn't go away. I felt a lot better the next morning.

It's been really cool to hear about the entire process from someone my age, it seems to make it easier to understand and put myself in that position (hypothetically). You and Logan have handled it with grace! P.S. I think we should be friends, lol.

I went thru a similar experience with my baby. I was mentally preparing myself for a vaginal birth and then at 38 weeks I got some tests run and Sunday evening I received a call from the doctor stating that based on the results, I'd have to come in the next day for a c section. It was very unexpected and the whole process felt so scary and clinical and not at all this amazing primal experience I had hoped for. My son is healthy regardless, I'm just hoping the second time around, I'm able to experience a vaginal birth.

this helped me so much! i'm currently pregnant with my first baby, 37 weeks.. and i'm having a scheduled c section next week and i've been so nervous about it. thank you for this video, it made me feel so much better and more calm about it

You’re an amazing storyteller!! Felt like I was right there with you! I am a nurse, so maybe that helped too. Hehehe congratulations and do NOT underestimate how strong your are ma’am!! You tell this like a true warrior!!

2nd comment. Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful baby boy. God bless

Amazing video!! Will help so many people know what to expect, thank you for talking about it :)

ugh giving birth seems so scaring because so much can go wrong! Good job, Morgan!

1ST. Love your channel

Helpful advice, thanks. You did so well post pregnancy considering how much your body went through. So tough!

You explained everything so well with all the details needed but in a structured way! I really appreciated it. One day I will have to do a C-section because I have problems with my eyes and even if it's so far away in time, I still prefer to be mentally prepared if that's even possible :D

Oh my word I felt so queasy every time you said “cut me open” 🙈 good job Morgan, just because you had a C-section doesn’t mean you didn’t do work in giving birth 🥰 you look so great post baby 🤍

Thank you for all the details with your experience 👏 I wish I knew all of this before mine! The going to bathroom 💩 for the first time was horrible && Yesssss The trapped air is horrible too!! 😫 I've had it with all 3 C-sections. The breastfeeding and feeling sore & tired the first few weeks is hard. Thank you for being so transparent!!!

Coming from myself who has had 4c~sections I wish I had someone to give me some tips(my first one was an emergency c~section after 21 1/2 hours of labor never felt the urge to push,I don't think your crazy for saying you were sad not being able to have a vaginal delivery,having major surgery is very different and the healing is as well,but like you said us Moma's and Doctors do what's best for baby and you..and we would do it all over agin,we never forget the pain no matter if we have a vaginal or surgery but seeing our babies for the first time is all worth it..I am glad you did this video for other Moms out there..I hope you will be able to experience a VBAC

Thank you for sharing this video and being honest! I’m the same age as you and had my first c section in June 2019! It was hard and difficult! You’re rocking it and your baby boy is the CUTEST!

Having a c section tomorrow & this video was so clear and comforting. You really eased my mind a lot so thank you for that!

Thanks for this Morgan! Expecting our first baby in October and this gives me such great insider info!

Such a sweet story and beginning of your sweet lives! Enjoy your sweet baby and being a mommy/daddy 😍

Your looking great and thanks for the vid and updates! I also required an emergency c-section to have my baby! Enjoy your time with baby they really do grow up too fast!

I really needed to see this video I had my csecetion on the 22nd and Ive been feeling like I’m not able to take care of my my baby because of recovery but I’m glad I have my husband ❤️🙏🏼

I'll have a C section schedule next week. It's unexpected to me cause my baby in a breech position. I feel nervous and worry because this is my 1st-time pregnancy. Luckily, I found your video and now feel much better. Knowing how to prepare my mind ahead of time. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

Thank you for your sharing. I managed to pick up most of your conservation. Dont you mind set up caption on for me on each vlogs you post pretty please? I know it is huge task to do. Just same as 8Passengers. They do the subtitles on their vlogs. Thank you. God bless you, and the family. The little buddy is soooo cute. :)

Hi chick uve done amazing in such a short time ..my daughter had to go back into hospital after her ceaser...with pain in her shoulder and back it was never mentioned at the time..she was crippled with pain and yes it was trapped wind thought it was something serious ..but so glad you mentioned that for anyone goin in for surgery xx best wishes to you all xx love from liverpool england xx

love your videos, I hope to start a family in the next year, it's nice to hear about what can happen. Beckam is such a cutie :)

Its at those rough tmoments Meghan tell urself ur amazing cause you are♥️ ur the best

Thank you for this! I'm giving birth next month and this was helpful info to know in case I get a c-section. Hope you guys are doing well!

Bringing back lots of memories from my previous cesareans...It must have been harder dealing with all of this with a pandemic going on.

Just had my daughter a few days ago via C section and I felt the same way. I’m feeling much better now and moving around. But it was so tough and it made me feel hopeless.

Wow a C-section does sound chaotic, you seem to recount it all very well though. You made it through. 💖 I know Kayli often got C-Sections too. It’s very interesting to learn about the process. Yeah the emotional break downs seem like they would be a big part of recovery. It sounds like you made it through the hardest part of the emotional recovery, so I am really happy to hear that but it still sounds like it was rough. 💕

They didn’t tie down my hands I asked I didn’t want them and I got it hold my son on my chest after my son was born I had a c section to

I love your wee family, it's so cute💖🙌

Hey Yes its very hard at first. Bless you . If you have a second baby please stay in hospital longer. Its very hard ,and ive been through both. Natural then c. section. They kept me in the hospital for 6 days after c section in . And it was even hard sfter 6 days. I cant believe you were sent home after just 2 days. I hope you are feeling better. My heart goes out to you being a first time mom. You look beautiful. Take care. Love from Ontario ,Canada💞🌎💞🌎💞

I just had my 2nd c section 6 months ago and I totally get all the feelings you had! With my first baby I didn’t have any depression or anxiety. With my 2nd I had major depression and anxiety! Sadly I totally wasn’t expecting it and it hit me hard! I luckily got some mild medication and was back to 100% after a month. I had the exact same thing happen when we came home with my 2nd baby. She latched at the hospital great, but right when we got home we had major problems for the first could days, which I feel is what set off my anxiety. Luckily we got it together and we have been going strong for 6 months of breastfeeding❤️ so glad you guys are doing great!

I had the exact breakdown once we got home. I couldn't even get up on my own, and I was feeling so scared and bad that I can't even take care of my baby. It didn't help that my family was around but not really available for help. Only my husband was there for me and the baby, who was equally clueless.

On 9/11 I thought my water broke (it hadnt) and so we went to the family birthing center. They told me it wasn’t broken and I actually closed up from my 1 cm I was dialed at my appointment from before. The thing was with every Braxton Hick (I had been having them nonstop for weeks at that point) her heart beat would drop then recover. We scheduled a c-section for 4:30pm because it was going to be safer then vaginal. At 2:30-2:45ish her heart beat didn’t recover. No position helped and they called a class A c-section which is very emergent. We got to the OR and the anesthesiologist was 20 min away on call. It was either going to be wait and my baby die or I feel everything. I felt everything, the worst part wasn’t the pain, it’s knowing and feeling someone move their hands around your insides. It was completely worth it and I’d do it again in a second. Coraline Winter Greene 5 lbs 11 oz 18in Born 9/11/20 at 2:58pm

Girl! I get you. I had two c-sections. One of the best things for recovering was my belly wrap! It helps keep everything supported and it feels so much better to wear it. I wore mine for weeks after each of my c-sections. With your insurance you probably qualify for a free breast pump.

You could try hand expressing while waiting for your pump! It really helped me and I got to freeze some milk for some bottles with daddy. The hakka pump is a good pump to put on the other boob while baby is nursing as well. It's just a suction pump and once you get the hang of it is super easy to use! You're doing great mama, we all have feelings we've never felt before and so we should! We were born as mother's the same time as our babies were. It's all new and you are doing wonderful. Enjoy motherhood it is the best!!

I’ve had 13 surgeries and the shoulder pain from the gas has happened every time (well that I remember, I had my 1st surgery at 12 hours old haha). It’s an awful pain! I hope yours didn’t last for days like mine do!

Wow I relate so much to this with my c-section

Also wanted to mention you can "pump" with your hands and a sterilized cup. You can look it up but it does work and you can find relief for a bit!

Can you guys do the baby names we love but didn’t use tag?

Thank u im in the hospital 🏥 with a pre me during Covid in crying u helped me soo much

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I am curious though, where are you located? It doesn’t sound like your little one had any issues when born, correct? So I was wondering why you did not get to do skin to skin almost immediately after the birth? I was shocked you had to wait till after exiting the theatre to hold your baby. Did they at least do delayed cord clamping to your knowledge? Thank you for the reply 🤍.

I had probably the worst c section ever.. the medication did not work when they cut me and I screamed they had to put me to sleep.. Next I went into spasms in my intestines .. next I had internal bleeding .. and passed out almost died needed a blood transfusion 🥺 I couldn't even breast feed felt like a failure fainted twice.. it was the worst experience of my life so painful I screamed for 4 days straight. Anyways ... My beautiful baby is here.. so I try to spend time with him.. I just had it done so I'm exaughsted .. 🥺

I had an emergency c section with my son at 37 weeks 1 day I got to 5cm he’s now 5 turning 6 in October I’m having a scheduled one so very soon I’m worried so I’m watching a lot of c section vlogs

I’m nervous because my body doesn’t accept pain meds. They gave me numbing meds then they pulled out 2 teeth and did root conals and I helped them do it. I guess I have a high pain tolerance to meds. So I’m worried I’m gonna still feel pain

Get a haaka pump. You put it on while your breatfeeding so you catch your letdown from the side your not nursing on. That may help your left side not be so uncomfortable when your feeding on the right.

I had 2 c-sections, (my last one was 12.5 years ago) what people failed to tell me was that the feeling around the incision & area around it will never be what it was. Get your bladder muscles strong!!!

Thank you so much for this honest and insightful video! I’m so glad you and baby are doing well :) I was wondering, what was it like to have your spinal removed? People always talk about what it is like to have it placed, but is it painful to get it out? How long after surgery did they remove it? Thank you!

I totally understand your sadness about not having a natural birth. I felt and still feel disappointed that I could not deliver either of my boys vaginally.

Did anybody leg ever feel heavy after?

I had 2 cesareans 2 years in a row. My first was emergency and my 2nd pregnancy was unexpected, since it was so close to the first the c section was a safer route.

Wow Morgan, I have never seen you looking so beautiful! 😍 I actually DO have a burning question (lol): What was your first meal once out of the hospital? Mine was a Subway sandwich! I didn't eat lunch meat my entire pregnancy to be on the safe side, so I really wanted one 🥪

Thank you so much for sharing your story!! You were so open and honest and that’s very much appreciated from a soon to be first time mom. When it comes to breastfeeding (this may sound dumb) but why do you need a pump? If you’re home with your baby and not working or leaving them why do you have to pump? Do you produce extra or something? Any mom can answer this!!!!

Aww, Murphy wants some attention too. 💚 Sweet boy.

Ugh my spinal block hurt like HELL! I haven’t heard of anyone else’s hurting as bad as mine...

I also

Hi

Where did you get your pants ? They look pretty 😍🥰

hi guys just a tip, it helped me, maybe it will help you, I started to drink magnesium supplements immediatly when I got home, it helped the Baby blues alot

Omg, I will never have a baby, it's sooo scary 🙆🙆🙆😰😰

Omg Yes that air trapped in your shoulder is the worst.

Order that pump!

50 lb rock boobs....I can relate to that one lol

Imagine all the pain, hormones and depression and then your partner laugh at you “so what as if you are going to give birth to an elephant, it’s only a baby “ every night I think about killing my self but my 4 year old son is the only reason I am living

Get a hand pump!

Ummm I don’t think they do a drug test😂 when you are about to have a baby

Do you like csections
