Thank you for watching
Xoxo 💋 Zuri
When you started crying about the cervix check. I remember mine and it was hell😢😢😢. That time there was an intern and they were asking him questions 😭😭😭. I cried and the doctor kept saying don't move it will hurt even more. Sorry for your experience, I learnt this is what we women go through for our children. ❤❤❤❤❤. Women go through a lot throughout pregnancy 😢😢😢
This cervical check thing was so horrible and I held back my tears at the doctor’s office until got home. What was worse is that I was not even dilated a little bit so they kept on trying to jam fingers in there and it was so painful
Not me crying with you .sending you hugs and kisses Zuri and thank you for sharing these precious moments with us .
Thank you so much. I’m a few years from now I will watch it all back and I hope I don’t cry 😭
Oh my babe. This was such an emotional video especially knowing you’re so far away from your mom who would normally teach/show you more about motherhood, but know that you’re doing okay and you’re going to be fine. All the best with baby’s arrival❤
Thank you so much. 💕 it will definitely go well
I wish I could give you a hug, 36:40 literally broke my heart 😓. Thank you for sharing these vulnerable moments with us and your experience into motherhood. Congratulations, you’re already a wonderful mom 💕.
I watched that video while editing again and I almost cried again bc wow I was going through it. One only prays and hopes to be a great mom 🥹🩷 I will try my best to be.
Ohh mama cervical check really rocked you😢, I'm so sorry ❤
That letter to your son, wow, so heartfelt. You gonna be a good mom ❤
Thank you so much!! ☺️
Seeing you cry broke my heart ❤🩹 A mere Pap smear is painful for me, I can only imagine how painful an intensive cervical check and induced dilation are! Wishing you all the best and praying that you had a safe delivery 💖
Oh had I known that all of this was painful I would have picked c-section from the get go 😭😭😭 Thank you🩷
@@ZuriAfrica Eish giving birth to a whole human being is a lot to go through. Some C-section mothers complain about the incision never fully healing and still being painful years after childbirth 🥲
Thank you for sharing your experience, it’s made me appreciate my mother even more and has also made me more careful about teenage pregnancy at my young age of 27 😅
Omg, I wish I could hug you bathong. 🥺🥺😭😭 You made me so emotional, women are so phenomenal. Baby Zuri is going to be in such good hands, wishing you the best, queen ❤❤
Also, you're spoiling us with these vlogs, Mama! ❤❤❤ thank you
Thank you so much for your kind words. Haaa pregnancy is no joke. I’m so happy you are enjoying the vlogs 🩷 definitely more videos coming your way😊
Oh girl. You crying is breaking my heart. Everything will be great and having that beautiful baby in your arms will make it all worth it. I promise. Sending virtual hugs to you 🤗🤗
Thank you so much!! ☺️
@@ZuriAfrica your welcome
still can’t believe you’re about to be a mommy 🥺 you’ll be great!!
Girl 😭😭😭 a whole mommy. I definitely do my best to be a great mommy to my little man 🩵
Now I understand why you encouraged me to document my journey❤
This was so beautiful to watch...
When you cried, I literally cried with you because pregnancy humbled us😂
I don’t even remember half of the things I said in this vlog. Watching back while editing made me get emotional again. Pregnancy is something else.
Hunney, they way you hid this pregnancy is unmatched. You even posted pictures in the black dress and white shirt like it was just a random day. Love this for you me ke.
😂😂😂😂 I was lucky in that I wasn’t showing until I was around 7 months. Plus these dresses were good to me.
Yoh mara lala i wish i can give you a hug, i feel your pain. Thank you for including us in your journey of meeting your litte one ❤
It’s been a journey hey😭 one day I’ll look back at it. Thank you for your virtual hug 🩷
Giving birth is no lie the most difficult thing I have done! One induced (water broke with practically no dialation), one spontaneous. The induction was so much more painful than the spontaneous labor. So glad they gave you the option of epidural. Congratulations mama!!
I knew being induced was going to be painful but feeling the pain of just being checked like that 😭 I knew that it was going to be worse and hospitals in Japan do all of that without painkillers. Getting before 40 weeks probably makes it more painful
The letter to baby, oh my word 🥹🤍 this baby is going to be so so so loved.
Never thought I’d be this in love with someone else again 🥹💕
I remember the pain my sister went through with the cervix check lol my mum was at breaking point however everything was worth it at the end
You are definitely stronger than you think.Congratulations to both of you 🎉🎉 .Youll did it!!!!!
When I felt that pain I just knew that natural delivery was going to be painful too 😭😂
Thank you 💕
Oh the crying part you broke my heart hle Bradley 💔 😢 but im glad its all over now ❤
Walking home was so uncomfortable 🫤
Oh mama🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️ Stay strong and blessed❤
Thank you ☺️
You made it 🥺🥳
Congratulations once again mama ❤
Thank you 🩷
Am so happy for you 🥺🥺❤️ you'll definitely be a great mom ❤️❤️
Thank you so much!! ☺️
Omg zuri ❤😮 I'm so happy for you congratulations 🎉🎉🎉😂
Thank you 💕
You will be fine. Hang in there, praying for you.
Yes I will be but yoh the pain no ways… 😭😭
Oh baby, askies😢 wish mommy was there with you. I never experienced this cervux check thing😮 stay strong baby girl ❤
It’s very painful if your cervix hasn’t opened yet but they say it’s uncomfortable if your cervix has already opened and is too enough for child birth
Yoh, I just wanted to give you a hug (after the cervical check). I'm sorry about the experience.😢
I’ll be alright 🩷 you are kind
Sending love and hugs all the way from home ❤️🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Thank you so much 🩷
Agggg ma’am I hope you’re okay 🥺❤️
I’m alright now 😊
Majapan ana had the LIVER to hurt our girl! You should have called us. Iyo! I'm so angry for you! At least it's over ne? mara next time di poppe sal dance, straight! Askies ne nana! Love you lots ❤ ❤❤❤We've got you and GOD'S GOT YOU! Thank you for being so vulnerable 😘 Blessings 💞
Next time? 😂😭😂please hey. I need years to recover before I can think of next time.
In Japan women are encouraged to endure the pain of child birth and it’s crazy to me bc haaaa. But some women can do it and props to them but unfortunately my pain tolerance is very low when it comes to giving birth. 🤰🏽
Thank you🩷 God has got me indeed.
When you cried😭😭pregnancy is something else. I am sorry that you had to experience this in a foreign country.
You live and you learn right 😭 at least now I know hey..
Hi mommy 🤍
Hi💕💕🥰
❤❤❤❤
🩷🩷
You literally made me cry 😢, im a mother but i gave birth through C-section hang in there you gonna be fine ❤❤❤
I definitely will be fine 💕
I'm curious, why don't they let labour happen naturally? Why is induction the standard? I understand your case, because baby is big but for everyone else
They told me to find a new hospital if I wanted to wait until 40 weeks imagine 🫤 they were the only English speaking hospital close to my house
🫂🫂💝
💕💕
Sorry sis
I’m alright 😊
Aow bathong, sorry hle!
It’s all good 😊
Yea neh, to be pregnant is to go through A LOT. When I was induced for labour , my baby gave no f*cks. I ended up getting a C-section. Prepping for surgery is awful, they insert things and and and..... The funny part is I look back now and laugh. I hope you also had a laugh whilst editing your video - pregnancy amnesia is real. During pregnancy you cry but a few months from now, you'll be laughing.
I hope in a few months from now I will look back and not be so emotional and relive the pain 😭
Having a birth plan and wanting to give birth naturally is something else. But I didn’t mind either one.
Sorry baby 🥹🥹🥹
🥹thank you. It’s alright
You do look pregnant my love😅.
Ok
I feel like being pregnant in Japan has given you the impression that you’re bigger and baby is bigger than what is expected. But your pregnancy belly is a normal size for each stage of your pregnancy, considering you’re African. Your baby size is average for an African baby. It just feels like they scared you into thinking things were not what’s considered normal for our ethnicity. I’m so sorry for what you went through. And it’s really not right you don’t get to go into labour naturally when your body and your baby are ready.. Cervical checks that early in pregnancy are also not necessary and tell you nothing because with your first baby of course you won’t be dilated at 36 or 37 weeks...and the doctors know this.
Eish man, So sorry and wishing you the very best.
By Japanese standards I was big so I guess I kept on thinking in that way.
I remember how a friend of mine who had a baby later than us was so emotional and asking us how come we never gave details about the pain and emotions that come with giving birth, or when the baby is close.
I’m happy you captured your journey and you’re sharing it with us so that all moms to be and those planning to be moms see. I’m extremely over the moon for you guys 🥹🥰
I watched so many videos and they all said the cervical check was just uncomfortable so that was my expectation 😭 little did I know that it was sooo painful 😣
Thank you for your kind words 💕
Watching this made me want to make public the one I did 🥹😭
You should if you are comfortable
