@@CatCadwallader I warned you to be ready, I am so pleased all went well. I hope you guys are taking tag team rests and catching sleep when you can.... best wishes from this Aussie Dad...
The placenta usually is born 10-15 minutes after baby, midwifes always checks that the placenta isn’t missing pieces and that the umbilical cord is normal. If the placenta won’t come out in 1 hour they might need to take it out in an operating room. Lots of love from midwife student, so happy for your little family and wish you all the best ❤️
I really liked this story. not sugarcoated or treating birth as a 'who did it better' thing, so chill and funny at times. a lot of details and no swooning, just being down-to-earth and positive. and I must say I adore the traces of Finnish accent you have, like saying five words on the same breath while your intonation goes down and so on. I can't help it, I'm just a sucker for it :D
Interesting to hear birth story. Mine was very similar in Turku at TYKS almost 43 years ago. My daughter was born 7 weeks early and my experience was quite different from yours. I was already hospitalized with pre-eclampsia for 2 weeks and begged to go home. My husband was a Greek merchant marine captain and I think that affected the attitude towards me. Over 40 years ago treatment of foreiners was different since there were not so many of them. I went to early labor and of course, had increased blood pressure. They pushed meds via my IV and left me alone in a dark room. Even when I said I needed to push they did not come right away. And when they came the rush started. I had dilated to 10 cm from the moment I went in to my daughter being born in one hour and a few minutes. My placenta came out also rapidly after. I was taken to another room where there was another mother who was just dozing off. I had still very strong contractions and was bleeding but nobody came and told me only via the call button that I was fine. They kept massaging my stomach and told me to do the same. 2 weeks later they found out I had a myoma in my uterus and that is what caused the pain, bleeding, and contractions. They did D&C and biopsy and I got a horrible infection after. I was in the bed in the hospital for 2 months with a severe infection caused by the D&C. Finally, they got my ESR and WBC's down enough to open my stomach. and not to get sepsis that still then was very deadly due to antibiotics not being what they are at the present. With my second pregnancy, I was living in Athens, traveled to Finland to pick up more things and see my mother before I advanced further in my pregnancy. During a regular check-up I was told I had started to dilate already. So I was told not to fly back to Greece at the condition. Also, my sister was in a dental school and her husband finishing medical school and the resident gynecologist from his class was taking care of me. That made somewhat difference but some nurses still were treating me differently. I was 2 months in TYKS again before C-section. Later on, we moved to the USA, Texas, where I went to college to become an RN. During the training, I was also on the delivery room to observe. It was 7 years after my daughter's birth, 1.5 years after my son's birth and I could see the difference. The patients were treated as customers and if any nurse would have had the behavior I experienced in Finland they would have been fired. I am retired now after working 25 years as a critical care RN specializing in cardiac care and cardiothoracic surgery. I have been the in L$D many times just monitoring cardiac risk mothers due to my experience in cardiology. I believe the behavior in Finland has changed during the years and Finland has been famous for good maternal/child care. The premie girl went in the USA to one of the best universities, got the largest yearly scholarships the university gives that is to go to France for a year. She applied to Paris Sciences Po and graduated from there in the same class with French president Emmanuel Macron. She works in the largest law firm in the world as the communications director, speaks 6 languages and is learning on the side the 7th. I believe her birth still was better in Finland than it would have been in Greece, but the attitude towards me was substandard knowing how I had to treat patients just 7 years later in Texas. Hopefully, the women who have a child with a foreigner, especially from the Mediterranean and Latin countries, get now better treatment than I received.
Thank you for sharing the story! ❤️ I had my firstborn baby girl 9/18 and it was nice to hear someone elses story too 😊 I had to have a c-section at 38 weeks, so it was really different experience for me.
I'm 34 weeks and have had so many contractions! I can't imagine giving birth next week, but I'm preparing just in case! You did amazing mama, you stayed so calm! I'm on baby 3 and idk if I would be that calm hahaha!
My delivery was a long one. My water started seeping out 3 days before the baby was born. I went to the hospital with mild contractions. At the hospotal my contractions got so much worse. I was given antibiotics through an iv. I had really irregular and super painful contractions for 2 days and nights, like I was literally screaming every time, they wouldn't give me any pain medication during that time because I wasn't dilating and they were afraid that my contractions would stop. I had to go outside the hospital for walks and was probably scaring people with my screams. They even tried a foley bulb induction since they said it was gentler than giving me oxytocin. The foley bulb was horrible! Finally I was put on oxytocin and I was progressing. After 2 days of pain I got my epidural and got some sleep, not long after that I was ready to start pushing. The birth itself took an hour of pushing but was not painful at all, my baby apparently would pull her head back so they had to cut me and use a vacuum extractor to turn her head into the proper position. I was black and blue with all kinds of wiring and stuff all over me but I finally got my baby. My blood pressure was super low after all that so I fainted when they tried to walk me to the shower. After all this I have to say I would still do it all over again, it was so worth it.
Thank you so much for sharing Cat!! I have been with you two since dating in London. I feel so overwhelming joyful for the both of you and can't wait to see little Leo grow up 💓💟💗
I’m in hospital now 34 weeks + 4 days, had contractions 10-15 mins apart for first 48 hours, rushed to hospital in an ambulance from maternity unit, been in hospital and straight away contractions been 3-5 mins apart and such excruciating pain and all they done so far is give me meds and injections to stop my contractions so I’m laying here the last 12 hours and have mo idea what’s going on. Still having lots of blood and googled it and it says it’s the cervix thinning out. Yesterday afternoon was last time I checked for dilation and I was told I went from 3cm to 4cm in a matter of 2 hours, and thinning fast. No one checked since and I’m concerned and frustrated.
Nice to hear your birthstory and what amazing story it was, just so many different stories as there are mothers♥️ Dat hair tho, omg suits you so well 😍👍
Det är skönt att höra en så "lugn" förlossningshistoria. Tidigare har jag sett och hört om förlossningar mest i tv-serier och liknande och där är allting alltid så dramatiskt och folk har panik och ja.. det är kaos. Så det är skönt att höra riktiga historier. Det får allt att verka mera naturligt och helt möjligt, om du förstår vad jag menar? Jag föreställer mig att lugnet kommer från någå sorts mammahormoner. Jag har inga planer på barn just nu, men din video fick mig att känna mig mer tillfreds med att det nog är möjligt, om jag någon gång skulle hamna i den situationen att jag på riktigt vill ha barn. Nu behöver jag inte hindras av tanken på att förlossningen måste vara hemsk och smärtsam. Som du säger är det ju helt sjukt på ett sätt att en människa kan komma ur en, men samtidigt så häftigt att det går.
Tack för din fina kommentar! Det här är en av orsakerna till att jag ville dela med mig av min historia för filmer o tv serier ger en så annorlunda och för det mesta felaktig bild av förlossningar 😅
I dunno if anyone else pointed it out yet, but I looked up that book you mentioned and it's by Susanna Heli, and it's available at least in Finnish (Peloton synnytys) and English (Confident birth)!
Gave birth about two weeks ago..😑 everything was so surreal.. I just woke up at midnight, and felt some regular contractions about every two minutes. It's not so painful, but I just had a feeling that maybe that's it... So we arrived at Jorvi hospital at around 1.30 am, and I was already 4cm dilated. During the checkup, my water was broken and started bleeding... And 3.05, after 7 minutes pushing, our little chubby girl is here. I didn't use any pain relief, except for a little bit laughing gas (which I think is quite useless as you said), because I don't really feel any unbearable pain throughout the whole process... well...... Don't even have time to shoot some videos for memory... Midwife said women like me should give birth to a dozen of kids😂😂
This is such an awesome story, I'm so happy for you guys and especially for you, Cat, that it went pretty alright and that both you and Leo are alright... I'm just speechless, even though I don't even know you guys personally, I've been watching your videos for ages now and I dunno, it's just so amazing, I'm so damn happy for y'all! Also I do need to say this again - That hairstyle of yours is absolutely beautiful, you look so gorgeous like this! 😍 Anyways good luck with raising Leo, I'm sure you two are gonna be perfect parents for him and he's gonna grow into a good man!
Thank you for sharing the story! It will probably be a big help for a lot of women who wonder about the birth (my sister-in-law is pregnant and due in April so she might check this out too) and it’s great that you recomended the book that helped you!
Tack att du delade med oss om din förlossning 💕 vi fick vår 2dra bebis 29.9.19 allt gick bra, fast han lämnade fast vid axlarna 🙈🙈 men barnmorskan va super🤗. Ni ska ha de bra 💞
Congratulations. So happy all went well. It was a happy birth. May God forever bless your family with many wonderful memories. Enjoy him. You look wonderful.
Thank you for sharing with us!!!! I can't wait to see more of your little Leo, you worked hard for him!! I can't imagine not being able to be with him for SIX HOURS!!! I had my baby too, a little boy named Elliott, on 10/15/19!!! My water broke on my due date and I was in labor for 31 hours! I wasn't progressing after 16 hours, needed pitocin and an epidural (I was hoping to go natural but was SO relieved when I finally got the epidural). I had a hemorrhage too! But thankfully since he was full term, they let me keep him with me. And so funny, they were passing my placenta around the room too! I had a fibroid that implanted in it, apparently none of the 6 or so people in the room had seen that before. My placenta came right out too but I retained a little so I was REALLY glad for the epidural when they called an OBGYN in to fish around and try to find the other piece! So glad you all are doing well!!!!
I have chronic pain, the nurse who had the manage pain course , also did the breathing course for giving birth. It got intressting when she was stressed because sudden she would say push and then go NO, I mean relax work with your pain. It all about never panic and relax into the pain, work with the body.
Giving birth for the first time was so amazing and confusing at the same time 😂 nice video! Now I want to write my birth on paper so I can look at it later. My boy was born 11/2018
He had a little help breathing for the first 36 hours but then he was absolutely fine - and has grown to be a very active, happy boy measuring in the 99th percentile for his age! ☺👍🏼 Good luck with everything ❤❤
I was pregnant at the same time and had my baby on October 13th. The birth took almost 19 hours and the pushing was quite stressful since the baby's heart rate got low at every contraction. Everything was fine at the end, though. I still gave the birth 9/10. It's amazing what woman's body is capable of! And yeah, the pushing was the most surreal feeling ever.
Aww amazing so glad you had a chilled an relaxed labour an all is continuing to go well, I gave birth to my rainbow baby this July she arrived on her due date apparently only 4% are born on that date. We did a hypnobirthing course throughout my pregnancy and it was amazing my other half decorated the hospital labour suite in led candles an string lights we put pictures up on the walls etc and he done all the massaging techniques he was taught it was such a special time I like you was not nervous I felt very prepared focusing on what my body was doing I stayed at home until my contention app was literally screaming to go to hospital, got examined told I was 4cm and to be admitted after 2 1/2 hours I was only 5cm so they broke my waters and within 2 hours I’d jumped from 5cm to 9 anyway after 8 1/2 hour active labour she was born just by gas an air I found that to be amazing lol I meditated whilst having it next time round a would be hopeful to have a home birth with a birthing pool ❤️ it’s just so worth it isn’t it xx
Congratulations on your baby!! 😍Sounds like an amazing experience! I had started listening to a hypnobirthing book and was so excited to get into it during my maternity leave but... didn't quite have time to!😅😅 All the best to you and baby!🥰
Bra att allt gick bra, trots allt. Har de undersökt varför det kom så mycket blod? Samt nämnde de att nästa förlossning (om du kommer i den situationen igen) mest troligt att gå än snabbare än det första förlossningen.
My labour was also really fast, but it came in the last possible day. We were already 2 weeks after the date, so we had everything prepared and hospital knew we will be coming that day ;) Anyway, I was woken up by my breaking waters and the moment we reached hospital I was already 5cm wide. I got epidural, which gave me such relief, that I fell asleep :D Then I was pushing for literally 7 minutes (midwife was telling me to slow down haha) and baby came out together with placenta prietty much, so I had same "bloody" aftermatch as you did. I remember I went to take shower, midwife left to another soon-to-be-mom and this huge amount of blood comes out from me on the floor and I am like "well... I gotta clean this up somehow first then" :D I cleaned this up more or less and then I hear this PLOP and more liver-looking blood on the floor. "HUSBAND! CALL THE MIDWIFE" And he is on the rocking chair with our newborn and he looks stuck and can't get out of it :D So I clean this mess again, while he is trying to stand up, wash myself more or less and I put this after birth pad with pants and it instantly went heavy from the blood and started to flow on my legs. Fortunately at this moment midwife came and she gave me new pad and said, that it's ok, it happens sometimes. So we went to out family room and husband went to repark the car, another midwife came to check sth with baby, she is asking me sth and I feel like I am going to pass out soon, so I say "Let me sit for a moment, I feel bit dizzy, but probably it's normal". Next thing I remember was 5 midwifes jumping around me and plugging those drip bags to my veins, pushing my belly super hard to empty it from gathered blood and super scared look on my husband face. That was scary moment :P
You should have made the video with Dave. I'm sure he could have filled some blanks how things went. Speaking of personal experience being present in both of our child birth my wife forgot so many details that I remembered.
So glad everything went well for both you and Leo. Oh yes Dave too. With my first delivery, all I could do was think that my Grandmother gave birth 10 times up in Rovaniemi. It gave me the positive inspiration to endure the labour. Wishing all the best to all of you. Kanadaan Ritu.
We were bottle feeding him breast milk for the first few weeks and I was breastfeeding as an 'extra'. Then after a few weeks we were told that I could start to only breastfeed him. The hospital should tell you how much milk to give, we worked our way up to about 65 ml (not sure what that is in oz) per feed before I started to fully breastfeed him. Gongrats and good luck with your baby 😍😍
Thank you for your birthstory. Were you that lucky that you did not need an episiotomy? That was the most painfull thing after having my baby, having the cut stitch back together. I had some difficulties with my delivery, it took 1,5 hours to push, in the last 15 minutes I had one midwife pushing on my bump (babys butt) and another down there doing her magic and finally he was born. They were allready prepared to use the suction cap but they did not have to. But my little mister was so pissed off of the whole thing that he pooped on my lap straight away when he was placed on me 😄
Täysin samaa mieltä tuosta kirjasta! Pitäis olla pakko kaikille synnyttäjille lukea se :) vaikka itteä ei pelottanu synnytys niin se anto valmiuden niissä kovissaki kivuissa ottaa ne oikein ja positiivisesti. Btw ihanat hiukset
Sounds almost exactly like my birth year ago🤔😅 My husband and were also so chill and did not fully understand that the baby was coming even tho my contractions came at 4 min apart and I was 4 cm dialated when we came to the hospital🤦♀️ a few hours later he was born at week 34+3❣
35min 😱😱 mä en tiedä miten olisin jaksanut niin kauan 😅 avautuminen/supistukset on kestänyt mullakin tunteja mut en sit tiiä miten alhaalla muksut(2011&2014) on ollut kun molemmat tuli ulos 1min/ max 4 ponnistusta. Nuorimmainen vähän nopeamminkin, mut se homma on jotain niin raskasta että en voi edes käsittää miten jotkut mammat on jaksanu noinkin kauan ponnistaa. Respect 💪🏻
35 weeks is 8 months is not that early, I had my son at 32 weeks my water broke at 30 and I was in the hospital for 2 weeks. I just went to labor at 32 weeks and he stayed in NICU for 6 weeks.
Bor ni i den Hoas lägenhet ännu eller inte? Kauniaisissa on jännää asioida ainakin ruokakaupassa kun siellä puhutaan kassoilla kans ruotsia.:-) Joo elämän pieniä ihmeellisiä asioita näin suomenkieliselle.:-D
Girl, I think our period pains are different. I've passed out from the pain before. 😂 Which has made me horrified of labor pains 'cause they are supposed to be like a hundred times worse.
My story is for finish, I dont know how To write it english 🙄 Klo. 00.00 alkoi supistukset heti 5min. Välein ja niin kovana että pyörryin.. Klo. 02 ampulanssilla sairaalaan (55km) sairaalassa n. Klo 02.30 ja olin 8cm auki.. Suoraa synnytys saliin. Klo. 6.00 synty iso tyttö rv 38. Koko synnytys kesti 6 tuntia, ponnistus vaihe 15min ja istukka 6min ulos 😂😂😂 vauhdikasta ja saamarin kivuliasta.. Pyörryin 4kertaa supistusten takia.. 🤭 Mikäli haluu tietää lisää niin kerron toki. Tässä lyhyt versio ✌️🥰🥰
Are we going to ignore the haircut though...Looks amazing!
Haha thank you! 🤩🙏 I had made a big deal out of it on Instagram so I thought I'd breeze past it 🤣🤣
@@CatCadwallader I cut off my hair too when my kid was born, because mine would grab it when breast feeding and it hurt.
Yess!!!😂😂 I also just couldn't be bothered with washing, drying and combing all that hair 😅😅
@@CatCadwallader And no baby spew in the hair, that is big plus.
@@CatCadwallader I warned you to be ready, I am so pleased all went well. I hope you guys are taking tag team rests and catching sleep when you can.... best wishes from this Aussie Dad...
Im currently 35 weeks and binge watching birth videos

I am so glad your labour was relaxed and mostly positive! Congratulations, you and Dave will be brilliant parents :) x
Thank you so much!!🤗

35 week by USG or LMP??
What was babies birth weight???
Can you please tell when did your baby start to smile and hold his head?
I dunno if anyone else pointed it out yet, but I looked up that book you mentioned and it's by Susanna Heli, and it's available at least in Finnish (Peloton synnytys) and English (Confident birth)!
Fantastic!!😊🙌🏼🙌🏼

Did the baby get to go home with you or did they stay at the hospital?

It really was!😅
Thank you for sharing with us!!!! I can't wait to see more of your little Leo, you worked hard for him!! I can't imagine not being able to be with him for SIX HOURS!!! I had my baby too, a little boy named Elliott, on 10/15/19!!! My water broke on my due date and I was in labor for 31 hours! I wasn't progressing after 16 hours, needed pitocin and an epidural (I was hoping to go natural but was SO relieved when I finally got the epidural). I had a hemorrhage too! But thankfully since he was full term, they let me keep him with me. And so funny, they were passing my placenta around the room too! I had a fibroid that implanted in it, apparently none of the 6 or so people in the room had seen that before. My placenta came right out too but I retained a little so I was REALLY glad for the epidural when they called an OBGYN in to fish around and try to find the other piece!
So glad you all are doing well!!!!
Wonderful to hear, congratulations on your little boy!😍 Well done mama!💪🏼💪🏼
Du e så söt o duktig! Kan int fatta hur fint du (och NI!) Klarade allt dethär!! ♥
Tack vännen! 😘😘😘
I have chronic pain, the nurse who had the manage pain course , also did the breathing course for giving birth. It got intressting when she was stressed because sudden she would say push and then go NO, I mean relax work with your pain. It all about never panic and relax into the pain, work with the body.
Exactly!👍
Thanks for sharing your story. You look great with the new hair! Gongratulations for you and Dave!
Thank you so much!😊
Giving birth for the first time was so amazing and confusing at the same time 😂 nice video! Now I want to write my birth on paper so I can look at it later. My boy was born 11/2018
Haha I agree!! Yes, definitely write it down so you'll remember! 👍👍
I'm due to be induced next week at 35 weeks due to ICP , was he OK? Need any help breathing etc? Im terrified
He had a little help breathing for the first 36 hours but then he was absolutely fine - and has grown to be a very active, happy boy measuring in the 99th percentile for his age! ☺👍🏼 Good luck with everything ❤❤
how long was your baby in the NICU for??
About one and a half days 😊
I'm on week 36 now, absolutely terrified of the birth and this video helped so much. Thank you ❤️
You're gonna do amazing, don't worry!! 🙌🙌
Thanks so much for sharing your experiences, Cat.

Katsokaa jotain muuta ja tulkaa takas kun osaatte, alaikäiset
Oisko kannattanu kuunnella koulussa :D
I was pregnant at the same time and had my baby on October 13th. The birth took almost 19 hours and the pushing was quite stressful since the baby's heart rate got low at every contraction. Everything was fine at the end, though. I still gave the birth 9/10. It's amazing what woman's body is capable of! And yeah, the pushing was the most surreal feeling ever.
Yaay!! Well done and congratulations!!😍😍💪🏼💪🏼
Aww amazing so glad you had a chilled an relaxed labour an all is continuing to go well, I gave birth to my rainbow baby this July she arrived on her due date apparently only 4% are born on that date. We did a hypnobirthing course throughout my pregnancy and it was amazing my other half decorated the hospital labour suite in led candles an string lights we put pictures up on the walls etc and he done all the massaging techniques he was taught it was such a special time I like you was not nervous I felt very prepared focusing on what my body was doing I stayed at home until my contention app was literally screaming to go to hospital, got examined told I was 4cm and to be admitted after 2 1/2 hours I was only 5cm so they broke my waters and within 2 hours I’d jumped from 5cm to 9 anyway after 8 1/2 hour active labour she was born just by gas an air I found that to be amazing lol I meditated whilst having it next time round a would be hopeful to have a home birth with a birthing pool ❤️ it’s just so worth it isn’t it xx
Congratulations on your baby!! 😍Sounds like an amazing experience! I had started listening to a hypnobirthing book and was so excited to get into it during my maternity leave but... didn't quite have time to!😅😅 All the best to you and baby!🥰
Bra att allt gick bra, trots allt.
Har de undersökt varför det kom så mycket blod?
Samt nämnde de att nästa förlossning (om du kommer i den situationen igen) mest troligt att gå än snabbare än det första förlossningen.
Det har dom inte, tydligen anses det vara någorlunda "normalt" om det är under en liter 😅😅
My labour was also really fast, but it came in the last possible day. We were already 2 weeks after the date, so we had everything prepared and hospital knew we will be coming that day ;) Anyway, I was woken up by my breaking waters and the moment we reached hospital I was already 5cm wide. I got epidural, which gave me such relief, that I fell asleep :D Then I was pushing for literally 7 minutes (midwife was telling me to slow down haha) and baby came out together with placenta prietty much, so I had same "bloody" aftermatch as you did. I remember I went to take shower, midwife left to another soon-to-be-mom and this huge amount of blood comes out from me on the floor and I am like "well... I gotta clean this up somehow first then" :D I cleaned this up more or less and then I hear this PLOP and more liver-looking blood on the floor. "HUSBAND! CALL THE MIDWIFE" And he is on the rocking chair with our newborn and he looks stuck and can't get out of it :D So I clean this mess again, while he is trying to stand up, wash myself more or less and I put this after birth pad with pants and it instantly went heavy from the blood and started to flow on my legs. Fortunately at this moment midwife came and she gave me new pad and said, that it's ok, it happens sometimes. So we went to out family room and husband went to repark the car, another midwife came to check sth with baby, she is asking me sth and I feel like I am going to pass out soon, so I say "Let me sit for a moment, I feel bit dizzy, but probably it's normal". Next thing I remember was 5 midwifes jumping around me and plugging those drip bags to my veins, pushing my belly super hard to empty it from gathered blood and super scared look on my husband face. That was scary moment :P
You look so much like “Izzy” from Greys Anatomy 😊😊😊
You should have made the video with Dave. I'm sure he could have filled some blanks how things went. Speaking of personal experience being present in both of our child birth my wife forgot so many details that I remembered.
Yeah absolutely but I wanted this to be my experience/feelings etc - maybe Dave will make a video of his version of events 🤣👌🏼
Congrats! Btw did u get a Swedish speaking midwife?
No, unfortunately not! But she was amazing nonetheless!🤩👌🏼
It dosnt take a hour for ur placenta to come it’s normal for it to com short after the baby
So glad everything went well for both you and Leo. Oh yes Dave too. With my first delivery, all I could do was think that my Grandmother gave birth 10 times up in Rovaniemi. It gave me the positive inspiration to endure the labour. Wishing all the best to all of you. Kanadaan Ritu.
Thank you!😊
Hello im a new mom with 35 weeks baby. I just wanted to ask. If you are bottle breast feeding... And how much oz you give to your baby. Thank you...
We were bottle feeding him breast milk for the first few weeks and I was breastfeeding as an 'extra'. Then after a few weeks we were told that I could start to only breastfeed him. The hospital should tell you how much milk to give, we worked our way up to about 65 ml (not sure what that is in oz) per feed before I started to fully breastfeed him. Gongrats and good luck with your baby 😍😍
How many days your baby was in nicu?
That might’ve been a bakri balloon that the doctor used to help stop the bleeding. Hope you recovered well from it!
Very helpful thank you so much for sharing 😊💕
Wow I am shocked they told you to go home when you’re clearly preterm…unacceptable
Thank you for your birthstory. Were you that lucky that you did not need an episiotomy? That was the most painfull thing after having my baby, having the cut stitch back together. I had some difficulties with my delivery, it took 1,5 hours to push, in the last 15 minutes I had one midwife pushing on my bump (babys butt) and another down there doing her magic and finally he was born. They were allready prepared to use the suction cap but they did not have to. But my little mister was so pissed off of the whole thing that he pooped on my lap straight away when he was placed on me 😄
Haha what a welcome present you got!😂👌🏼👌🏼
Tack för en ärlig berättelse 😊 Med alla bra och dåliga sakerna.
Du ser så vacker ut, hot mama 🤗😉
Tack snälla!🤗
ai että toi hiustyyli on ihana! ja vielä hieman myöhässä että onnea. teistä tulee *aivan varmasti* hyvä äiti.
Kiitos!🙏❤
Täysin samaa mieltä tuosta kirjasta! Pitäis olla pakko kaikille synnyttäjille lukea se :) vaikka itteä ei pelottanu synnytys niin se anto valmiuden niissä kovissaki kivuissa ottaa ne oikein ja positiivisesti. Btw ihanat hiukset
Juuri niin!!👍👍 kiitos🤗🤗
Hyvin meni, onnea 💪 pystyn kyl samaistuun noihin istukkajuttuihin 😂🙈
that story sounds like mine... But it was me who said to her that now we are going to the hospital. 13h later i became a dad :)
Sounds almost exactly like my birth year ago🤔😅 My husband and were also so chill and did not fully understand that the baby was coming even tho my contractions came at 4 min apart and I was 4 cm dialated when we came to the hospital🤦♀️ a few hours later he was born at week 34+3❣
So similar to ours!🥰
35min 😱😱 mä en tiedä miten olisin jaksanut niin kauan 😅 avautuminen/supistukset on kestänyt mullakin tunteja mut en sit tiiä miten alhaalla muksut(2011&2014) on ollut kun molemmat tuli ulos 1min/ max 4 ponnistusta. Nuorimmainen vähän nopeamminkin, mut se homma on jotain niin raskasta että en voi edes käsittää miten jotkut mammat on jaksanu noinkin kauan ponnistaa. Respect 💪🏻
Yeah they tried to send me home too and my mom threatened to take me somewhere else because there was no way that I wasn’t in labor. But yeah lol
You gotta be strong!!😂😂💪🏼💪🏼
Back labor sucks is all I’ve to say.
35 weeks is 8 months is not that early, I had my son at 32 weeks my water broke at 30 and I was in the hospital for 2 weeks. I just went to labor at 32 weeks and he stayed in NICU for 6 weeks.
Im 35 weeks 1 day and l eat pineapple
Im scared 😢
Minkä kokoinen Leo oli syntyessään? :)
Bor ni i den Hoas lägenhet ännu eller inte? Kauniaisissa on jännää asioida ainakin ruokakaupassa kun siellä puhutaan kassoilla kans ruotsia.:-) Joo elämän pieniä ihmeellisiä asioita näin suomenkieliselle.:-D
Niinpä! Muistan sen hyvin kun isovanhemmat asuivat Granissa!🤗 Nu har vi flyttat till en annan lägenhet 😊👍
Any nicu?
Girl, I think our period pains are different. I've passed out from the pain before. 😂 Which has made me horrified of labor pains 'cause they are supposed to be like a hundred times worse.
Sahre Actually you might find labor easier than others. You already know what contractions feel like.
Haha yeah, everything is of course very individual!😅😅🙈🙈
All my births were super fast. My last one was from start to finish 2hours and push time was 4mins. 😀
Even with my firts the push time was about 11mins
Wow!😅😅 Express delivery!👌🏼
Thank god you did not go home then
I know!!😅😅
My story is for finish, I dont know how To write it english 🙄
Klo. 00.00 alkoi supistukset heti 5min. Välein ja niin kovana että pyörryin.. Klo. 02 ampulanssilla sairaalaan (55km) sairaalassa n. Klo 02.30 ja olin 8cm auki.. Suoraa synnytys saliin. Klo. 6.00 synty iso tyttö rv 38. Koko synnytys kesti 6 tuntia, ponnistus vaihe 15min ja istukka 6min ulos 😂😂😂 vauhdikasta ja saamarin kivuliasta.. Pyörryin 4kertaa supistusten takia.. 🤭 Mikäli haluu tietää lisää niin kerron toki. Tässä lyhyt versio ✌️🥰🥰
Any nicu?
