    The “man she’s really ugly” comment was SO GOOD to hear. Newborns are so odd looking when they first come out and it made me feel soooo much better about having the same thought! I’ve never heard anyone else say that about their baby but I swear we all have to think it for the first few minutes. 😂

      Im due in a month and I always worried people will judge me because Im pretty sure Im gonna think he is ugly at first but the cutest all at the same time. So I love hearing people say their baby was ugly at first because they are!!!! Lol

      @@chantalwood5788 girl you think whatever you want about your baby you’ve carried him. They come out looking crazy 😂 I am 38 or 39 weeks (due dates off) and had a 3D ultrasound today, his face was all squished together, I know that’s not what he’s gonna look like in a couple months after birth lol. And this is my miracle baby after a loss. Us mommas can think what we want, they’re gonna be precious after they come out and have been in the world for a minute. But if you’ve already had him I hope your birth went smooth and everything went good ❤️❤️

      The man does not DO anything to the woman. When they have intercourse, the man does not ejaculate a developed a Baby. He only ejaculates sperm.She then delivers the baby.
      The very important egg, in this whole equation, is fertilized by his sperm. The union of the two causes conception.
      She conceives in her womb. The baby grows in her womb . She is then pregnant. The man is never pregnant.
      But the husband often acts like a spoiled bsb C when his wife is pregnant and give birth. He tries to get everyone to feel sorry for him. He needs to fall back and let his wife be the woman. You know how you people, shame wives all the time and tell wives to not nag and let him be a man?
      Well it goes both ways. ..so now let us tell husbands to let her be the woman....and tell him to stop whining and nagging during her pregnancy and chilfbirth.
      Let your wife explain HER pregnancy and birth. Stop interrupting.

Just hearing that an OB/GYN elected for the epidural puts me at ease. I’ve been hellbent on doing this without meds and beating myself up for wanting the epidural as an option. You’ve completely lifted that nonsensical worry of mine! Also- hearing that a woman who happens to be an MD also has struggles breastfeeding. My last baby (10 years ago) was bf but I struggled and then got discouraged and switched to formula quickly. I thought I was the only one struggling. Wish I had more support back then.

And your daughter is going to be a little blue eyed doll!

    it really helps when everyone in the room is close to each other. Everyone being friends. Friends being there for the delivery when most people can’t even have their friends in the room. There’s a pediatrician which helps when the father is the pediatrician. It helps when the mother Is a gynecologist cause she knows what she’s doing but still might need a reminder every once in a while because she’s the patient at the moment. I’m really impressed by this. Because normally this doesn’t happen were the friends sister and the husband and everyone can be in the room.

    The little hunger cues she was showing in the side video of her at the time stamp @11:05 on this video was so adorable!! Some babies have the same hunger cues but do it slightly different and I love how it’s a natural, God given occurrence that babies just know how to do, it’s awesome! Babies, our little humans, are awesome!!
    EDIT: Breastfeeding is just different for everyone. It does take patience and lots of practice for baby and mother. If you get frustrated the baby will feel that and get frustrated also and vice versa. I was in the hospital for three days when I had my son, no one guided me or helped me with breastfeeding, it was much different 28 years ago then it is now. I was just expected to do it myself so that I did, I at least tried. After the colostrum I didn’t produce any milk and I had no idea my baby wasn’t getting fed. I’m forever grateful for my OB/GYN bc he’s the one that figured it out and told me that I had to put my baby on formula. It is okay when you can’t breastfeed for whatever the reason. I think it needs to be talked about more so that women won’t feel like bad mothers if they can’t breastfeed.

I am a strong woman, but I believe I am even stronger with the support and love from my husband which makes me a better person and future Mom to our baby.
