You guys are honestly the cutest ❤

I got an epidural with my 1st baby and it only numbed my legs, I felt everything and the catheter was the most painful feeling! I prayed to the Lord to give me strength with my 2nd baby since I didn’t want to go through that again with epidural and He delivered took my pain and worries and giving birth has been the most spiritual experience, just had our 3rd baby and we decided to do a home birth and it was the most beautiful experience of my life. All things are possible to those who believe. Mark 9:23

We had very similar experiences. My induction started Nov 6th and she was born Nov 8th, but everything from them trying to place the IVs (they attempted mine 6 times 😭) to the failed epidural. There were times I felt like you were literally sharing my birth story. Mine just ended in a c section after 28 hours of labor. It’s so crazy, but I’m so proud of you. That was NOT easy. You’re superwomen. ❤

Part one sounds really good. I can’t wait to hear part two.

Look how shes covering her eyes❤️❤️❤️she is sooooo precious 💞

She is so beautiful 😍 you guys are amazing ❤

I never got an epidural, but I did get something in my IV that made me sleep between my contractions. I was only in the hospital 3 hours before my son came because I guess I was in labor the night before and didn't realize. Worse back pain I ever felt in heavy labor and I even broke my back before and that doesn't even come close to labor pains. I'm glad you were blessed with a great outcome. ❤

aww she’s adorbs! 🤍✝️

I had an epidural but by that point I was 5-6cm and I didn’t feel it at all because the level of contractions were so bad! Thank you for sharing your story.

Love all of your stories but this is my favorite by far. You have a beautiful family, congratulations! I had to have my epidural done 4 times then ended up throwing up right before having my emergency csection. Definitely agree the most painful part of the entire process is the epidural!

So precious!!

Congratulations on being a new mom! I'm a mom of 4 and its the best lot in life you can imagine. 💐

Taylor is precious! I love how he said he did good for the second epidural 😂 I actually had a C-section w/out one! 😮 I was put under but when I woke up all I said over & over was PAIN! I forgot I even had a baby! The Anesthesiologist tried about six times to get it in and he just couldn’t and I couldn’t take it anymore.. Congratulations again you guys! ❤❤❤ Mary Mahryn looks like a doll 💕 she’s beautiful 😍

I arrived at hospital at 4-5cm. Those contractions are no joke but once I got the epidural I felt nothing. I cld move my legs all around but cldnt feel a darn thing. Ended up w c-sec bc my son was too big. Doesn’t matter how baby arrives- bc they’re such a blessing🙌🏽🙌🏽

Ive had 3 epidurals over the course of 2 pregnancies because I got sent home the first time with my 2nd son 😅 dont feel bad Taylor my husband almost passed out too! I heard thats super common for dads, congrats on baby girl ❤

I seen how big the epidural was & was afraid but I also had to get another one!! The 1st one wore off & I was screaming so loud in pain the nurses all the way up the hallway @ front desk could hear me 🤯 so I got a 2nd one & had my babygirl pain-free ☮️ I was 20yrs old now I'm 22 about to have a 2yr old on the 12th of this month 😌 I had her @ 36wks due to preeclampsia (high blood pressure). Congratulations on your baby!! I also had to be induced & the catheter was a weird feeling bc I couldn't feel me peeing lol 😅

Mary is the cutest baby girl ever! Awe 🥺💜

I got an epidural 48 hours into active labor and Stella came at 57.5 hours. I too was born with a heart defect and spiked a fever because my body was so stressed. It was a whole mess and Stella and I both had to be on IV antibiotics for 72 hours. Our hospital stay was also accompanied by the fire alarms with the strobes off and on for about the first 24 hours. They were working on the system.

What a beautiful family congratulations to you both always

Thanks for sharing also put a sign up saying this is not lease office that would drive me nuts you guys are the best ❤

I had all 3 of my kids Naturally (31,29,28) it’s been a minute but not much has changed and the first one and third one in my opinion were not as bad as I expected. It was all in my mindset but that 2nd one who came at 37wks who was still high and had not shown any signs of labor but my water broke and you have 24hrs at that point to deliver. My Dr was the worst man I have ever met!! He knew I needed a cesarean but he said NO we are doing this well I’m not gonna tell you the damage he did to me physically as well as emotional. You did an amazing job to be so young and no experience. I was so proud of you!!!

Thank you!! He is my heart❤

My first epidural was great when it kicked in lol. It did its job especially since I had a 10 lb 13 oz boy. But the worse part was they had to put the needle in when I was having a contraction. My water had already broke which started my labor but the baby was moving during the contraction. That was the worse pain. The second epidural it did ok but I felt pressure on my left hip the whole time. Pushing the second time around was way more intense. My second was 9 lbs 10lbs but he came out in 5 minutes compared to my first took an hour to push. I experienced contractions very intensely the second time. You are a warrior momma for going through so much with your epidural.

Looking forward to part 2

When can we expect part 2?? I’m expecting in May and would love to hear part 2!

I felt that shooting pain down my left side too!! Totally thought I was about to be paralyzed lol unfortunately the spot on my back where I had it still aches to this day, and that was 12+ years ago Also, I was induced and didn’t feel any contractions until my water was broken. Things changed quickly after that!

I got an epidural when I was induced and personally, I had a positive experience. The initial needle did hurt but it wasn’t unbearable. I was pretty much numb waist down but still able to somewhat move. I definitely felt the pressure when it was time to push but thankfully, it was all pain free and was able to focus on just pushing and pulling baby out. God bless you guys! ❤

I’ve gotten 2 epidurals but I didn’t get mine until 6.5cm with my first and then 9cm with my second (he came quick!) so at that point for me it didn’t hurt because my contractions were so much stronger than the pain of the epidural. I went naturally though for both so I feel like getting induced it would be harder trying to decide when to get it and I feel like it would be painful if contractions aren’t as intense! You’re a rockstar Soph! And yalls baby is so precious!!! Best gift ever!!! 💕

Love you guys, keep doing your vlops.

I didn't have an epidural. I didn't think the contractions were all that bad until about an hour before our daughter was born. I was pushing involuntarily by the time we arrived at our birth center and then she was born less than a half hour later.

You guys should totally do a podcast!!

Congratulations ❤

My husband passed out when I got my IV with my last delivery. 😅 it was scary in the moment, but he was ok! Thankfully! Glad Taylor was ok!

She still covers her face… so cuteee❤❤❤❤

I think being induced that early, especially if your body hasn’t soften or started dilating, it can make the epidural much more painful. I got the epidural after labor started on its own. I was 3cm and my water had already broken….and compared to the contractions, it wasn’t that bad in comparison. Praying your next experience will be so much better! Thanks for sharing your story!!

I'm so happy. You two are wonderful ❤now 3❤luv you 3

When I had my second son and I was scheduled for a C-Section on July 7th. I was in labor and my doctor said could not have him vaginal. So I went into labor on July 4th and the on call Doctor asked me if i wanted to have him today. Of course I said YES!! I had a spinal block and during my surgery I had a blood vessel ruptured. They called a code blue, called a vascular Doctor to come in, ALL my spinal block was gone on my right side. I was getting my tubes cut and burned...FELT IT ALL. The Anesthesiologist ran in started to give ALOT of Morphine. That was the worst experience in my life!! My son and I have an unique relationship and I cherish it so much!!

I'm so happy for you gygs You have a beautiful family.❤❤❤❤

I love her so much!!!!!

I had 6 kids and learned quickly that after feeding and your holding baby hold her more on an incline for an hour after to reduce chance of spit up.always feed a baby on an incline as well... if you feed them as they lay flatter it increases chances of ear infections as well. Ive had 2 epidural but they didnt take affect till after my kids were born...so the other 4 I didnt have anything last child only took 30 min from start to finish.

5 kids naturally I never experienced an epidural just because I was scared of story's I've heard I'm so happy everything worked out for you always do whats right for you congratulations ❤

Congratulations on baby.

That's crazy, I didn't even feel them putting in the epiderals either time. Thank goodness lol. I also never got a numbing needle first...

My husband about passed out during epidural too. You are an empath you feel others pain.

Taylor saying “I pushed a little bit too” bless him❤😂

My first epidural my man had to hold my shoulders and he almost passed out! I definitely felt a lot of pressure getting it, but once it was in I thought it was a life saver and totally worth it. The second time around it was easier for me and my husband. He wasn't as nervous and I was able to stay more still & calm. Once again for me it was totally worth it!

Love y’all❤️❤️

My first epidural only worked on the right side and I could tell as soon as they put it in, it was only working on the right side. They also had me lay there to see if gravity would do the trick. It didn’t and a few hours later I got another one. I could tell instantly it was working on both sides. Not sure how to explain it, but the feeling was different than the first. I wonder if the placement was just not quite right for yours. It’s such a tiny space that they’re working with. Kudos to you for making it through “half numb”!

OMG CUTEST LITTLE FAMILY ON RU-vid ❤❤❤❤❤❤ SO INSPIRED BY YOU!!!! IM DOING VLOGMAS TOO ❤❤❤❤❤❤

My epidermal experience was honestly good. They performed it while I was mid contraction which felt worse than the shot so I think that helped. I always tell people that the sensation of the epidermal reminded me less of an actual shot and more similar to the feeling of hitting the nerve near your elbow, like hitting your funny bone but a worse version. I was completely numb the entire remaining portion of labor and then child birth. I couldn’t feel any contractions after I got the shot, to the point that I had to be told when to push bc I couldn’t feel anything. I was super grateful for the epidural bc it allowed my body to actually relax. Prior to the shot I was only 3 centimeters dialated and it wasn’t progressing in that department but bc of the epidural I literally went from 3 centimeters to 10 centimeters in less than 20 min. It happened so quickly there was no time for the catheter so I was ready for delivery so fast thanks to the epidural. Congrats on your baby girl. I’m really happy it went well. She is so beautiful. Enjoy every moment. Time is going to go so fast from this point forward. I feel like I just had my daughter not long ago but she is graduating high school this year. So crazy.

I had 3 epidurals 2 went well the second one I ended up with a spinal headache for 8 weeks I litterally had to lay flat in a dark bedroom for 8 weeks everytime I sat up I threw up for 8 weeks it was horrible I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Congrats on your beautiful baby girl!

Was too late for the epidural when I had my son 29 years ago. Glad as over the years heard so many stories, even from my own Mom, who had headaches and could not nurse my brother(being the youngest, heard these stories all the time). Another was a woman I know that had nerve issues because of the epidural, she could have been paralyzed.

Sending ❤ from Brisbane Australia

It’s crazy how different it is for everyone! By the time they came in to give me my epidural I was having some good contractions. I only felt the numbing shot and not really anything else. But my water broke WHILE I was getting it and the contractions got sooooo bad. They had to wait in-between contractions to continue to give it to me. About 15-20 minutes later I was completely numb from the waist down. Never felt a thing about that other than the pressure to know when to push. My birth/induction was a breeze, but post partum was ROUGH.

Not too long before Alyssa and Dallin little girl born. So happy for you too. What beautiful baby.

Congratulations on your new beautiful baby girl and now feeding every 2-3 hours and sleeping schedule waking up during the night. Much happiness and success for both of you.

I opted out of the epidural after I read the side effects for it. The thing that helped me is I practiced the breathing techniques for labor and was able to get through it. Really not that bad but we all are different.

Sophia u are glowing

I've had 4. I have 6 kids with two single births, and 2 sets of twins. My last delivery was my last set of twins and I couldn't feel the epidural! I felt EVERYTHING! After I pushed the first baby out I was so exhausted from the pain I said I can't do it again lol luckily I got it together but I realized I had really taken the epidural for granted the 3xs before!

Haha we need to get you a “Not the leasing office” sign 😅

I love u guys so much u guys brighten my days I've been going through a lot Jesus loves u guys and congratulations on baby girl she is so adorable 💜🩷🩵🧡

You are so strong. I had 3 natural births bc I was way too scared to get an epidural. I had pitocin with all of them.

Thank you for sharing your birth story. Though mine is different I also had the same experience with the epidural, Shooting pain down the whole left side of my body. Beyond painful, so when the nurses were asking - to find out "Oh I need to go to the right" per the Doc. Be prepared for some tenderness in the spine where you had yours.

The one sided epidural happened to me as well with my first! Ended up delivering without it. With my 2nd baby it worked amazing and I felt nothing! Hopefully next time goes smoother!

Yall are so sweet! My husband almost passed out too. Lol and it was our second (granted after 13 years) but I was looking around for him and his ass was sitting in the chair. Angered me a little. 😂😂. YES! When I got my epidural with my second the shooting pain made my right leg fly up I almost kicked the nurse in front of me! So weird!!! Taylor is so sweet! You both are so cute!!! Congratulations on yalls little bundle of joy.

I had an epidural with both of my c-sections. With my second one, I had a hot spot. It felt like fire in one area. The anesthesiologist gave me extra meds but it didn’t help. My youngest is 17 now and the epidural sight is still sensitive at times. But in saying that, it was worth every moment to have my babies. I wouldn’t change anything. ❤❤❤

Taylor & Soph I had one in 1999 with my twins and again with my daughter in 2004. I had a great anesthesiologist in 99 and he was wonderful. I barely even felt a pinch from the needle and was numb all the way through. In 2004 I felt the pinch of the needle but the numbness was the same. I had a good experience.

I loved getting checked it felt amazing! Lbs

I had a great experience with the epidural with my first (pregnant with my second now). It was a little crazy bc i felt paralyzed but i would 💯 do it again!

I’m so glad my epidural worked till the end my left side started getting feeling but didn’t do to bad!

Thanks for sharing

I got the epidural with my 1st and it worked too well. I couldn't feel anything, and I about panicked, I hated it. My 2nd I decided to do all natural, and I loved it!

I got the epidural at 6cm and it hurt so bad but afterwards I actually got to rest and sleep and I loved it. But by time it came to push I was maxed out on everything and my epidural wore off so I felt every little thing including when they had to cut me to get his head out. I love my son tho and it was worth it! Y’all are great parents, Congratulations!!! I love y’all! 🤍🤍

Mary is so cute!

Definitely crazy how many similarities my son’s birth is compared to your daughters! The Cytotec didn’t progress me at all and the epidural was so awful! I felt it only on my right side but shortly after they rolled me onto my side all my levels tanked and I ended up with an emergency C-section. Now I’m 31 weeks with my daughter and SO nervous for this epidural!

I got the epidural the first child..it hurt sooooo bad!! The other two kids I went natural😄...I was feelin ya that day, glad all went good for ya'll❤

I was induced with both of my kids. Then first time I got the epidural I didn’t really feel it, because I was in so much pain with my back labor. The second time I definitely felt it🥲

I just had my baby yesterday! I received a cytotech pill and the foley balloon at the same time. The foley balloon scared me but it didn’t hurt at all for me. It immediately started working and those contractions were crazy. The epidural hurt for me because they said the space was so narrow for me. It hurt a lot for me as well! I was having terrible contractions at the same time though so it was worth it! I constantly had to be turned because the epidural wasn’t spreading for me as well! It actually wore off a bit by the time it came to pushing but it was nothing compared to the first contractions. My whole entire labor was only 14 hours total which I was not prepared for since it’s my first baby and expected it to be longer. Congrats you too!

Ya'll should do a morning and night routine

Okay. Please put up a sign that says “not the leasing office.”That makes me nervous for y’all! 😂. Congratulations on a precious baby. Y’all are super parents. Have fun because it sure goes fast. ❤❤❤

I have to have a scheduled c section with every baby that I have so epidurals/spinal suck. They do hurt. And when they did the epidurals, my husband couldn’t be in the room cuz it was a c section and it wasn’t sterile for him to be in there during it. I was terrified. My first pregnancy I had severe preeclampsia and then my BP spiked to 200/100 and I developed HELPS syndrome so I had to have my daughter at 23 weeks. She survived 2 months and then we lost her that July! Now we were blessed with a beautiful baby boy and we couldn’t be happier!

Girl, my first epidural with my first child fell out and no one believed me so I felt it all the way. My second child I waited because I didn't want that feeling again and then I couldn't feel anything for an entire day. Epidurals are crazy
