I’m in awe of people who choose to share what is one of, if not the, most important, special parts of their lives with the world. I love the way you talk about your labour and delivery and I’m so happy that the nurse listened when you expressed concerns about going home. Congrats guys! ❤️🇦🇺
With all the real and mostly negative things out there surrounding epidurals and birth it was really refreshing to see such a positive experience and see that it can happen.
I don't understand how it helps to tell the birthing mother that she inconveniently stole you from your "Jaz night". Saying stuff like that is obviously going to make her feel bad. I think it's unprofessional.
I would have went off about the Dr. even mentioning her prior engagements with you during labor. My Dr. told me today at my appointment that I needed to be induced at 38 weeks (1 week away) and she told me she would make sure that she’s there for me
Congratulations Lucie! ❤️ As an OB nurse anesthesiologist it's always great to hear positive experiences broadcast on such a platform. Your little boy is the cutest! 💙
Awww, my goodness…and he’s perfect. Thank you for sharing. I’m 37 weeks and I believe my boy is coming out sooner than 40 weeks and I’ve been a little concerned bout it. But I believe he’ll be just as perfect.🤍
You are such a good storyteller. If I give birth someday I definitely want an epidural so I can be present instead of being in survival mode from the pain. Congrats!!
My mom never got an epidural for either birth because she progressed so fast that they either never got started with it or had to stop partway through so she could push. She literally went from a 1 to a 10 in 30 minutes at 33 weeks with me. I was so preemie that nobody believed she was in labor until she started pushing and her doctor missed the birth because he thought he had time to cross the River for a conference. It made me so happy to hear that your doctor was willing to trust you enough to show up when you were a 3 and to commit to stay there until you delivered. How cool!!! So happy for you and your family.
I’m 23 weeks 5 days pregnant and watching all these vlogs is so helpful to know what’s going to happen when I deliver. That’s one of my fears is that my OB won’t be able to get there in time because she is like an hour away from where I’ll be delivering. Her main office is an hour away. I can’t wait to meet my baby girl though. 😊 so happy that you had a positive experience!!
Lucie - I’m only 7 minutes into your video and laughing…I used the same contraction timer and didn’t follow the instructions to go to the hospital…when I did decide to go I was already 10cm and almost gave birth in the hallway to the delivery room LOL!!!! Loving this content and that you filmed it for yourself to look back on!
Congrats! Seeing this ans remembering 3 months ago i had our daughter makes me emotional! and now I finally posted my very own “to our daughter” on yt! Enjoy this special time with your newborn💛
It's good that you were able to go into labour naturally and didn't have to get induced. Everyone I know who was induced had a horrible experience. Also good thing you listened to your instincts and didn't go home when the hospital told you to!
I'm having HORRIBLE period cramps and watching these birth vlogs has somehow made them so much...it's like my body is trying to mimmic my labor pains again. lol!! Congratulations on your baby!!
When I saw you post this experience I raced to the computer, I gave birth to my second child 6 months ago,. Congratulations, I can’t wait for you to be a mother!
Your video of telling your twin that your pregnant popped up and o watched and then I looked and it was posted 9 months ago. I looked so quick to see if the baby had been born. Congrats I'm so happy for you guys
For the other first time mommas (I’m pregnant with my third), a big reason why she probably got so tired so early on in labor is because she was super hyper-focused on every sensation which does wear out a person mentally + physically. It’s best to ignore it as long as possible until the pain is not ignorable. I know it’s easier said than done when it’s your first pregnancy and it’s all unknown. 💓
I’ve been told that i’m gonna have my baby by 3nov (37th week of my pregnancy) because my blood pressure is elevated and the baby is almost 5.5 pounds. I was scared but now I saw your vlog and it feels much better to know that it’s normal to have a term baby. I just need so many prayers for a healthy baby!!❤️❤️
Thank you for being so open and real about your pregnancy and birth process. I didn't find you till the end of your pregnancy. But I have learned so much already!
I'm always amazed when I hear other women talk about contractions lasting for hours sometimes more than a day. With my older daughter (she's 22 now), I had a lovely dinner of oxtail and rice & peas from the Jamaican restaurant across from our complex. Started feeling contractions maybe an hour after if that long, had to call her dad to come home from work and headed straight to the hospital, swore I was going to give birth on the highway, the pressure & urge to push was so strong. Got to the hospital, threw up the lovely meal, wasn't able to get an epi because labour progressed so quickly. they did give me some meds so I was able to rest for maybe an hour without pain. From 1st contraction to delivery was maybe 5 hours. She was born 1:07 am 01.07.00; on her due date. My ob/gyn had also said at my visit on the 6th that it may be another week or 2. I'm always amazed by the women that go through long labour because I remember all these years later that I was EXHAUSTED!!
I found out after sooo long of TTC, I found out I'm pregnant! I am not sure the gestational age yet, but I think 5 weeks, 1 day. I've been looking at videos on the internet and found the video of you telling your twin you're pregnant! Now I see this posted I'm gonna watch it while I bawl my eyes out. (hormones...) Such a beautiful thing! I'm gonna subscribe now too!
Congrats Lucie! I have been watching you since 2015 and I feel like I know you... I was so stressed during this video.. I knew that you and the little one were fine but to watch how were actually happening made me cry. I am glad that everything went fine, I hope all the best for all 3 of you! Love from Greece 💙
Omg I had the SAME exact experience with my epidural! I was 3cm dilated, got the epidural and bam, 2 hours later I was dilated to a 10 and multiple nurses came to check to confirm because they were so shocked I progressed that quickly. My husband thought we were going to have 10 hours of hanging out calmly at the hospital but the look on his face after being told it was time for me to push after 2 hours was priceless! 😆
I progressed really fast after getting my epidural as well I thought I'd be in labor for 20+ hours and I was induced at 8am had my epidural at noon and had the baby at 3.
Congrats!! It’s a little bit sad that the ‘pushing part’ still looks like this in USA. It doesn’t have to! The ‘pushing hard’ might not be necessary at all, and the position itself definitely can be different than laying on your back with legs wide open… For any girls reading this, with their labor upcoming shortly, try to find more info about delivering a baby in more natural, self-driven (and baby-driven) way :)
I’ve been doing a hupnobirthing course to calm my anxiety about birth and honestly it sounds like this and I already feel so much calmer. Apparently our bodies have a “feral ejection reflex” like when we throw up it just happens we don’t have to do much. I’m actually excited for labor haha
@@giginoelani5880not to plan what do ever 😅😅 I wanted to stay at home as long as possible, I started bleeding at 3am and had to go straight into hospital ended up getting the epidural at 7cm which was the thing I was more scared about than actually having him 😂 and then the little bugger got stuck and we had to have an episiotomy and forceps and he was sunny side up which is why it was so painful they said. I was a mess for a few days/ a week it was a really emotional time but it was all worth it to have my little dude in the end ❤ I’d possibly even do it once more 😂😂
You don't have to, doctors let you push however you want, but if women don't educate themselves on pushing positions this is current default by providers
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 I'm 37 weeks today and set to induce in 4 days but I'm 2 centimeters and 70 percent effaced and have Been gor about 2 months. Each pregnancy is so unique ❤
Gosh my labor experience was so similar to yours except I didn't fight them when they told me to go home from triage. Ended up back there less than 2 hours later of course. I did end up needing pitocin to progress properly, but it worked quickly! Epidurals are EVERYTHING. 🙌
It’s amazing your specific doctor was able to come in for you. I live in Chicago so it’s a huge hospital network and I see the same doctor for all my appts but she said there’s a good chance she won’t be there for the birth and it may even be a doctor I’ve never met 😩but it’s in the top 20 hospitals in the nation so hoping for the best lol
I’m 35 and a half weeks today and watching the end of your video had me tearing up! I can’t wait to meet our little guy. I’ve been getting really hardcore muscle contractions this last week and I’m just thinking of these are practice contractions, I’m screwed 😅😅😅
I remember when my mucus plug came out. I was 35 weeks. It just looked like this 4 inch long snot glob. And I texted 2 of my good friends like, “I’m not sure, but I think I just lost my plug…” and both of them (moms…) were like, “SEND PICS!! 🤓” 😆 So I did and they both said, “Yup.” So I had an OB appt the next day and I told her I thought that’s what it was and asked if it was too gross for me to show her a picture, and she was like, “…I literally stare up vaginas all day. Let’s see. Yup!” And my son was born 6 days later.
OMG this was me with epidural. Haha it was done in the middle of a contraction but by the time it was done and all good and in, I was 9.5 cm 😂🤣 So it was a big and painful one! It was all so fast once water was gone! Had SD but it all ended well for us as well. This is a great birthing experience cause don't get me started on my first, it was awful. So thankful my kids are well today.
It’s so funny that I’m watching this. I’m 37 weeks and 2 days. I’ve been having pelvic and back pressure for the past 2-3 days. Aannnndd I’ve been losing my mucus plug in parts since last night. I have an appointment in 2 days and I’m feeling super anxious 😬.
My due date was 12.11.22 but my lil man decided to come early at 37wks as well lol my water broke at 9am when I laid back down in bed after feeding my cats in the morning. 11.20.22 we went the hospital at 10am, they had to give me a pill to start my contractions and help my cervix start dilating. Me and my bf waited all day/night to meet our son and we finally had him 11.21.22 at 12:42pm. I had crying contractions that turned into screaming contractions as well mama. They wouldn’t let me get the epidural until I was 7cm and girrrrrrlll it took forever for me to get to 7cm. I was stuck at 3cm for 4hrs and they wouldn’t let me walk around to help my contractions in the meantime. But Congratulations even though you had him a year ago! 🎉 Lol RU-vid suggested your video to me and I decided to watch it. Our boys are birthday twins. 🥰💙
Great video. And as a former OB nurse, I’m glad yours listened to you and how you were feeling. He’s precious. Btw -at the end of the video you put his birth year as 2022. I hope all is going well. Congrats
Im sure the evening primrose made you go into labor. I had a friend who was waiting to be induced and she decided to take an evening primrose capsule to try and induce… 8 hours later she was in labor
I had really bad screaming contractions wit my 3rd baby 12 months ago it felt like it took the male doctor forever to give me an epidural now I'm 13 weeks pregnant wit my 4th baby
This is happening to me! Im 36wks 2days and I’m 1.5cm dilated and 80%effaced. Baby boy is measuring 7lbs 2 oz already! I lost my mucous plug a few days ago. Im so curious when he’s coming!!
Congrats to you on the birth of your baby boy and he is so adorable and hope everything went well for you during the birth and God bless you all and stay safe and healthy. Love 💘 guys so much 💘 ❤️
I am currently 35 weeks and I have a STRONG feeling my baby girl is going to be coming at least 2 weeks early. Idk I just don’t think she is going to stay til I’m due or go past my due date, which is April 21st. We will have to see 😬 but I am so over pregnancy and would not mind her coming early AT ALL lol Congratulations on your sweet little baby ❤️ I enjoyed watching your video and I hope to have a positive birth experience as well
Nooo 😭 she did not come early I was extremely wrong! Lol I am currently 7 days overdue and scheduled for an induction later on today. I guess the strong feeling I had was simply wishful thinking 😂
