    I am 18 and just lost my first baby... it was an unplanned prematerel pregnancy I was so scared to tell my mom and finally ask help for sin and have God make me bring it to the light but still so difficult one to find out I was pregnant and know my life was changing and then find out soon after that it wasn't changing and that I lost my child. I can't imagine how hard it would be to be trying for years to have a baby and then have such a hard birth...I am so glad that you can be an example of trusting God through hard things.

      I am so incredibly sorry for your loss 💛 If you are too nervous to reach out to your mom in fear of judgement, please at least tell a teacher/counselor, therapist, someone you trust at your Church, etc. because you need and DESERVE support. What you are dealing with is traumatic and painful- disregarding even the faith aspect- please reach out to someone (even if they aren't religious) and have someone help you during this time. God forgives all- but you need to heal first.

    I did not expect to cry- Paul- your vulnerability was so palpable.
    Labor and delivery is so wild- beautiful and scary. Praise the Lord for giving you both strength through and beyond this experience. Luca is so blessed.

  • @UsInSearchOfMeaning

    I highly doubt that women of history would have been adverse to the benefits of modern medicine given the choice. Childbirth is inherently risky. Right now, to have the ability to medically mitigate these risks is a massive privilege and religious belief should not make you feel guilty about that. Any deity worth their salt will care more about the life of an innocent baby and weary mother than being bothered by the effect medical intervention has on their personal ‘glory’. Congratulations to you both xxx

    @katmauri4297 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Crying here with you on this video😭🥹 it’s so weird bc they’re tears of sadness but also joy💕 I live with chronic pain and can’t tell you how many times I have thought “this is in vain”, “I’m going through this pain for nothing” “I’ve already prayed and God is ignoring me on this one” but like you looking back on these 6 1/2 years of pain- He’s been there every step of the way. Wouldn’t be here without Him🫶stay strong in your faith- it’s inspiring!

  • @rr12766

    I cried with you both when you guys started to talk about Morgan’s c-section scare. Ugh, the Lord is so good. I’m rejoicing with you guys in that you can still say this even after going through that. He is worthy! And when we think about what He went through on the cross for those who are His, WOW is all we can say. Everything is of grace! He paid it all for us. Now we owe all of it to Him, including our very lives which are His. I’m just praising the Lord as I type all of this because He is so so good!!!!

    Oh Morgan. I hemorrhaged tramautically (among other things) after the birth of my son. When you described here what was going through your mind in that moment I felt like you literally described my experience. I had almost the same exact thoughts going through my mind in that moment and remember feeling heartbroken yet at peace that my husband might have to raise my son alone. It's something so unfathomable that you just can't describe or imagine what it's like to go through something like that unless you've experienced it. Thank you for sharing, it's touching to hear a similar story🤍

    I’m crying again 😭. Thank you so much for this in-depth share after your Birth Vlog. This was so raw and beautiful (and thank you for sharing the longer version too!). I am so happy for you guys. When I look at your IG updates and I see the 3 of you, I’m amazed each day.
    I remember not being able to sleep after your water broke, and after that. I prayed so hard. We all did. The Lord was quietly working behind the scenes, and I know all the prayers for you made Him so happy. I was probably one of the thousands who kept messaging Paul, bugging him- letting him know I was praying for you all. Morgan, you’re a true warrior. God has strengthened you through your situation, and helped you to be a voice for other mommas/families. I continue to pray for each of you. Pray for your joy, your peace, love, and strength. May God bless you forever and always. Love you guys! Xoxo ❤

    As you were talking about the scary moment towards the end a song called “You call I’ll answer” by David Leonard came to mind. I could just hear it in my mind playing as you were both sharing about the moment in the operating room, give it a listen. You both are so strong.
    Also care to share your labour playlist?
    Sounds so beautiful!

    Watching your birth vlog and this one, my heart feels for both of you. While birth is “natural”, it can be unpredictable. Be gentle with yourselves ♥️ Morgan you did amazing. You went through the motions and pains much longer than is typical, you did not fail. You held on to what you wanted til literally the last minute when it was completely out of your control, and you trusted the Lord. You carried Luca, you birthed him, and now you’re continuing to give him from your body through breastfeeding. You’ve done absolutely amazing. And Paul, you did amazing as well. There’s a lot for both of you to process but you both did amazing for Luca and one another

  • @rachelboal2029
    @rachelboal2029 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Honestly Morgan, I am so glad I did not watch your video while I was at work because my coworkers would have seen me ugly crying! Your story was soooo impactful and just the thought of losing you and Paul and Luca being alone was so sad bit God has a plan for you, but to just see you beautiful wonderful faith that was so strong was just so beautiful! I love you guys so much and I pray that the Lord will just bring you such healing and see such a beauty in all that he has shown you through this experience 🥰🥰

    Btw Morgan the fact that you laugh and smile and everything, makes me so happy! Don’t let the people making fun of you get to you! I also get made fun of or just discouraged for laughing too much or laughing at certain things. (of course there are serious things that should not be laughed at 😅) but for the most part, keep being smiley and happy and laughing!

    I love what you said about your faith in the end. Honestly, it’s not the “out of this world” miracle testimonies God has done in my life that show me that my faith is strong, it’s because I got through every traumatic and heartbreaking experience even stronger than before that I know God is real. 🙏🏼

Listening to y'all for about 3-4 years now, I can't imagine a world without either of you. Literally, I almost began to cry with y'all at the telling of possibly losing Morgan. Guys, I'm praying for y'all for recovery and that y'all will be a beautiful blessing of godliness to Luca Grace. I look up to y'all- love you both❤

    This has been such a powerful testimony! I've taken awhile to watch this vlog because i just had a miscarriage after watching your vlogs of waiting and waiting and waiting for this miracle.... But the thing that has blessed me the most is how you walked a journey that you never expected; you had your beautiful miracle through all the pain, twists and turns and this is what has touched my heart the most...you sharing your pain experience with us. Thank you very much Paul and Morgan. Your life story has truly truly ministered to me during my own pain journey. May the Lord use this to speak to so many people as you have spoken to us. It's true! There's always some beauty in the pain.

    @coralsaintclair630 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    So glad Luca is here and safe and that you are also safe Morgan! I honestly wasn't even sure I wanted to watch this video as I had my own traumatic birth just a few days before Morgan. I've had a really hard time processing what happened to me and my baby. Thankfully both of us are also safe and healthy. God definitely put it on my heart to watch your video this morning and I'm so glad that he did. I've also had a lot of the same feelings and questions that Paul had when it comes to, " why did God not answer my prayers?" " why did this experience go exactly the opposite of what I hoped and prayed for?" In the moment like morgan, I had fought so hard and just did what I had to do to get my baby here safely, and that didn't allow much time for processing the whole thing. I've had a hard time since then taking it to the Lord and trusting that he did what was best for me. I've definitely had some bitterness and I'm working through it. Seeing both of you speak about the experience that you had and knowing that God did what was best even if you don't understand it was really helpful to me and I'm encouraged to just continue pouring out my feelings to the Lord in prayer and to continue seeking him even when I get frustrated about how things went for me and even though I don't understand why we went through what we went through. Thank you for sharing your experience ❤

    Best Fitting Title Ever…
    It’s been a full 24 hours since I’ve watched this video & still, I am shocked & pained thinking about your having gone through what you went through just 5 weeks before this video. The brevity of life… the twists & turns… how in an instant, absolutely everything can change… Paul & Morgan, I wept with you, rejoiced (rejoice) with you & everything in between! ~2 Cor. 12:9… Amen! Part of my prayer for you is that you will continue to take excellent care of yourselves & each-other & move at (only) God’s pace for you. Everything about this video ; from how you handled yourselves to your transparency, wisdom & grace, etc.… WOW! God is working in & through you; using your lives/story in an extraordinarily powerful way! It is your undivided hearts for HIM that indelibly inspires me (& countless others, I believe) in my walk with the Lord! When the timing is right, please consider letting us know how best for us to pray for the amazing 3 of you! Luca is the BEST Bundle of Cute… EVER!

    Wow!! I was in tears watching both of you relive that. Thank you for sharing. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for a few years now with no success, but I have peace that everything will happen the way it's supposed to.

You definitely block out the pain, and I remember to vividly never wanting to do that again haha. Labor is something crazy. It so hard to explain the emotional toll your labor and delivery story can take on you, something people won’t understand unless they’ve been through it. You’re a champ mama!!

    Don’t take this question wrong but did you guys do any research about what happens if you don’t go into labor after your water breaks? I quick search would tell you that it could be dangerous and lead to infection! But midwife should have better communicated that with you.

    • @bshaw1359
      @bshaw1359 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      Yeh, I’m shocked you weren’t told this in your birth education. It’s standard practice in Australia to get antibiotics 18hrs after water breaking & to make sure women know this. It was my first question after watching your birth vlog & I’m only a recent FTM. Your midwife should have clearly explained this BEFORE your labour not during. I’m sorry you went through this 😢

      As a labor nurse in the states I can say that in hospitals we teach the patients as soon as their water breaks that we will check temps every hour and that if temp goes up and baby’s heart rate goes up we will start antibiotics so they’re aware from the start what the possibilities are.

    What a beautiful story. I think part of this is to show that your lives, even down to your child, even down to the way he entered this world, does not belong to you, but to God. And I think that's beautiful. Thank the Lord that we belong to Him and not ourselves, and that His ways are higher than ours. Because if He only operated within our understanding, imagine how much less that would be.

    I had my first child back in February, and mine was intense too. But different. I should’ve had an emergency c section, but ended up delivering vaginal. I threw up the entire time after I started pushing, I couldn’t get her out… because I was throwing up the entire time. So they had to use the vacuum on her head 3 times. She still has a scar on her head. But I’m so thankful God helped. I was like you all praying, God help me get her out. It was intense, but God is faithful! She’s my world, and has brought so much joy to our family!
    So happy for you all, and thanks for being real.

Can also relate to that peace from the lord I went into labour early and I had to push my twins out at 31 weeks and prayed to the lord how much I needed his strength to push these babies out unmedicated as I was supposed to have a c section but didn't have time and one of the girls heart rates were dropping and I went into a world that was just with the lords strength ❤️ as I pushed and its like everyone was there but they wernt it was amazing ! It was hard seeing them afterwards with tubes ect but the lord was there through it all. Yous did so well !! You should both be proud 💞

    There are already so many people who told you how encouraging this video was. Still I want to tell you, it hit home so hard for me when you where talking about God not answering your prayers. I am now Christian for a pretty long time of my life and there was nearly never a situation where I thought, that God really doesn´t answer, even tough I experienced many times that God did something very different than I was praying for, and I was often in the situation of praying and still not seeing any brakthrough, even after years, but yet I was always able to trust and trust and trust. But at the time and the last few weeks I really experienced that everything I prayed for wasn´t answered, also topics from many years ago, where there is still no breakthrough and I feel so overwhelmed and kind of angry but still want to be faithful. But still, some time in the last days I really wasn´t sure if my prayers are useful, and as Paul said, maybe if I dont pray it will get better. I know thats not true, but still I caught myself sincerely thinking and considering it. You spoke out of my heart and it was SOOO encouraging to hear even tough NOTHING got as planned or as you hoped and prayed for so many times, in the darkest and hardest time God didnt let you alone and woke up so many people to pray for you. It gave me a lot of hope for my own situation and unanswered prayers to still continue praying and trusting. I tried so hard also in the last time, but it got harder and harder and I got really sad, seeing myself doubting and feeling more unsure than ever, maybe it was God who wanted to hear me this, there has to be a reason why you both had the strength to make this video right now and as you said in the beginning Morgan, that you are even able to sit hear even tough you both are in survival mode. I am sure you encouraged and helped so many other people, but I want to tell you for myself, that you really made a difference in my life with this video. Maybe this sounds dramatic, but eventually you guys can understand, how special it is to feel touched in a topic which is really hard on your soul.

    I’m sorry you had such a hard time. I’ve had 4 c-sections. Just wanted to say that God did answer your prayers. Sometimes you get a no to what you’re asking for. I think in this case it’s because he wanted you guys to have this amazing testimony. You are helping other people and the biggest yes you got is that Morgan lived! Please don’t mislead people to think that God is not answering because they don’t get what they want. Got knows best and we sometimes get a no. We don’t always understand why but God knows and we have to trust, especially in the hardest of times.

    I have followed you guys for years and thought of you often. I had my daughter in Dec of 2021. I had a placenta previa which landed me in the hospital a month before my planned c-section. We suffered from some complications and loss of blood. I thought we lost our baby girl but by the grace of God we did not. Due to COVID regulations I was only able to see one person per day (this included my husband if he was not working and able to see me). I had to deliver a month early (36-37 weeks) via c-section. I had a great experience in the hospital but the c-section and being so isolated for a month leading up to my daughters birth was traumatic. I wasn’t able to hold my daughter right away either. She needed the nicu. The Lord was heavily present throughout my entire pregnancy and birth. The experience has made me much stronger. Healing continues. But these babies are such a blessing and gift ♥️ endless joy has come from temporary suffering.

    All of this is good to learn from, I think you did the best you could in the moment (reflecting on my own first birth that didn't go as hoped for or planned). When my brain wants to go to the place of, "If only I had done x, y wouldn't have happened" I'm trying to remember the sovereignty of God. Maybe if I hadn't done what I did, then other good things wouldn't have happened either. Regardless of how things happen, we know that God works them allllll together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purposes. His purposes can't be thwarted, they are ultimately good and I find so much comfort in that.

    Wow, my words fail me at the moment. All the memories flood back to me from 1 year ago my husband and I just fell pregnant and were going for the first scan. I pushed for an early scan because I knew something was not right. Had a lot of pain on my left side of my body. We arrived at the gynae and when the wand was put onto tummy, all we could see was fluid. I was bleeding internally because my left tube had ruptured from the pregnancy being ectopic. My gynae said to me that it's a miracle that I was standing with so much blood loss and that I walked in there without help etc. God came thru with the funds for me to have surgery in the following hour. The Bible verses that stayed with me was from psalm 23 - even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for you are with me, your rod and staff comfort me. I'm now 28 weeks along with our next baby and hearing your birth story is a sober reality and reminder that God is the sustainer and giver of life and that we need to relinquish control over to him.
