I'm about to graduate from medical school in 2 months. I'm going into OB-GYN and I always take so much away from your open honesty about your pregnancy and labor experiences. For us a stat C-section is so common that we forget how terrifying it can be for the patient. When you see them running around like chaos, everyone actually has a delegated role in stat C-sections with the goal of getting baby out within 5 minutes from the time it's called. It's actually quite an amazing process to watch from the outside how quickly a team can work to save a baby. I'm so sorry you had so much trauma. But I have taken so much from your videos that I plan to apply with my patients. In particular, I am so passionate about psychiatric needs during pregnancy. Because too often we in medicine prioritize the fetus. When in reality Mom's mental health is also a huge factor in baby's health.
That is so amazing and thank you so much for your hard work in medical school. I’m headed to nursing school and my dream is to be an L&D nurse. When I hear her stories about her pregnancies and her birthing videos, I get super excited and reminds me why I want to go into this career. I’m so happy this world will have you as their OB-GYN. Have a health and happy career! Your patients will be super lucky to have you as their support. 🎉❤ and CONGRATULATIONS ON GRADUATING!!
Thank you for your perspective! I had an emergency c section with my son and the lack of mental support afterwards was so surprising to me. I didn't even process what had happened to me until I was home from the hospital and then I couldn't focus on myself because I had a newborn to take care of. I'm currently working on my masters in psychology and plan to do research in the future to see how we can better support postpartum mothers regardless of their delivery because it's sadly so overlooked! Congrats on your graduation!
@@stephaniesmith4198 I am so sorry you had to endure this and feel so alone. I will definitely remember the importance of debriefing with my patients when the time is right!
I can’t believe they wouldn’t WANT Erik to walk since he’s a miranda character. I know Netflix owns the character, but it would be amazing to see him walking as Patrick
Omg 😳 Patrick and Miranda walking the red carpet at the teen choice awards would be everything ngl. But Erik doesn’t like social media so he probably wouldn’t want to go. Colleen is the best TH-camr unconditionally. I would definitely nominate her. Love you, Colleen!
*before reading any comments* - the amount of joy I get when I see Gus or Daisy peek out whenever they hear Colleen talking to the camera lifts me to new heights. It's what I live for...watching the background for their "moment." Thank you, Colleen for loving your animals and letting them "steal" the show sometimes. xoxoxo
Colleen i’m a labor nurse and when i watched your birth vlog and heard you had a prolapsed cord I cried for you. I knew you didn’t know the depth of the situation but honestly there was no need to worry you with that bc both babies were okay. But when you just read from your chart I instantly became nauseous. Thank goodness little Wes had a good heart beat when you came in. A prolapsed cord is one of the big scary emergencies we see on the labor units. It is rare but man is it scary! Wes had a guardian angel for sure (probably his great grandpa). Good thing you went to the hospital when you did!
@antikathy she said it was the cord. it was Wesley's cord. Maisey had her own cord and her water hadn't broken, so it was definitely Wesley's. but he had a heartbeat when they checkeded.
can i just say you did so good as miranda. you always play her so well i don’t even see you guys as the same person and seeing miranda on the carpet was amazing
I LOVE Miranda! I loved her reaction to not winning. Miranda is the epitome of Colleen artistry and intelligence. She is brilliant on so many levels and I love all the rhinestoning Colleen does. She thinks she’s not stylish but she totally is!
Thank you for bringing awareness to cord prolapse! As a trained birth doula and mama of a home birth, something I have learned and a good thing to know is that if you suspect a cord prolapse or are positive it is happening and are at home, it’s important to get the birthing person in a head down rear up position (think puppy pose in yoga) and seek emergency care immediately. The birthing person should even ride in this position in the vehicle on the way to the hospital. It is no joke, and I am so thankful your story went the way it did. This in no way diminishes the very real birth trauma you experienced, which is valid and real and I am sorry you experienced that. 💜
@@ashleymarieeee potentially dead baby. It's a possibility, not a certainty. And riding "doggy style" in a car while in labor and scary and risky too. They show it in both tv shows and the news. Sooo... yeah. Better not to need to do that.
!!!CORD PROLAPSE STORY!!! First I have to say our babies were originally due only a few days apart and I was so thankful to have YOU to go through my pregnancy with! ❤ I was induced at 37w4d. I labored for about 24 hours and only dilated to 3cm. They decided to break my water at that point. All was well. Then I decided to get in the big bouncy ball. The nurses noticed with each bounce his heart rate would drop so I got back in bed. Then his heart rate would drop with each contraction which obviously was concerning so they decided to check me. The second the dr was positioned to check I heard her yell.. CORD! And shit went from zero to 100 REAL. QUICK. machines were unplugged.. nurses running around.. medical language being thrown about. The dr said to me..her hand still inside, we have to do a C-section. I just said go go! Let’s go!! I knew exactly what had happened because of YOUR BIRTH STORY! I was rushed out of my room, doctor riding on the bed with me, hand still inside holding the cord? I don’t even know lol.. and into the OR where I was COMPLETELY put out for the birth of my son. Despite trying to years to get pregnant, resorting to a successful first round of IVF, and having this grand idea of a magical vaginal birth that was all but that.. I had a healthy perfect baby. It was the scariest thing of my life! Glad all of our babies are here safe and thank you for being in the back of my mind reassuring me that it was going to be ok! Love ya!
Omg! So happy to hear you and baby are ok! Not even kidding just learned about cord prolapse I’m in nursing school. And yes the doctor was holding it so it wouldn’t cut any more circulation off. It’s awesome they can do it
I have a very similar story! My nurse had to jump on top of me and hold my daughters head up off the cord through the whole surgery until she was born. So scary!
The doctor kept the hand inside your vagina to lift the baby's head off the cord so the cord is not squeezed so the oxygen keeps going to the baby. Cord prolapse is a really scary emergency that L&d nurses are prepared for. From the outside it's cool to see how fast everyone works and gets baby out in minutes. Every second counts
I’m a new graduate labor and delivery nurse. Watching your pregnancy and also my best friends pregnancy made me excited to go into this field. I love seeing you family grow and hearing stories from your birth. It’s definitely shaped me into the nurse I want to become. Your story of when your babies got taken away from you and sent to NICU and Erik went with the babies and you were alone in a room by yourself has stuck with me. Anytime a baby comes out and gets swept away from mom, I always make sure to stay by her side and keep updating the mom of what’s going on. I never leave the moms side because of how you described you felt during that traumatic experience. Lots of love 💗 Briana Nowell
Thank you for noticing that need & stepping up to take care of those mommas with additional attention & love during a very difficult time. Well done Briana! Please continue to do this in your practice because though still very hard for the momma you are literally creating a more peaceful, loving, & positive core memory vs an empty, lonely, & extremely more traumatic core memory for the remainder of the momma’s lives (hope that made sense). How we treat others always matters. Especially in the medical setting 💜
I wasn’t a fan of TH-cam Miranda but the Netflix shows are some of my favorites!!! If you haven’t seen the first season of Haters Back Off give it a try. I avoided it for years until I saw a few trailers for the series and had a feeling I’d like it.
me too. I have little cousins that always used the miranda voice.. I didn't get it. Miranda got on my radar since I was pregnant which is such a weird way to learn about someone who is a celebrity. i'm glad the algorithm worked in this case (:
Colleen, I’m a nurse on a high risk labor and delivery floor! So happy little Wes and Maisy were ok, I can’t imagine how scary that situation is from the family’s perspective. Quick question! I’ve always wondered how you were able to be awake through the c-section? In my experience, every cord prolapse, the patient has to be asleep under general anesthesia because there is no time for them to get an epidural. Were you able to get an epidural in the OR before they took babies out? Love you ❤
I remember watching your birth vlog with the twins racking my brain when you were casually doing your hair getting ready after your water broke. Like when you know what happens at the end of a movie but the character doesn’t.
@@BrodiesPiano I say this with love and patience, but it's almost like this is literally her career and therefore, yes, we as "fans" buy what she sells and that helps her pay her taxes LMAO. Your energy would be better suited focusing on enriching things for your own life rather than what she does with hers
Thank God for your the nurses and doctors. They do so much during those emergencies and for months after. I had a 25 weeker, 1lb 5oz at birth. It was the hardest time of my life but looking back all I feel is gratitude.
Tortilla Talk! I just learned on Miss Rachel that butterflies don't sleep, but they rest. It just reminded me of you and how you just rest for 10 minutes sometimes. And how your kids all love butterflies! You're the butterfly!
I love Colleen so much, I really feel she is one of the few genuine/herself on TH-cam, compared to those that only show the "good" all the time. She explains her struggles and just honest daily life and it makes her so much more human and relatable than other content creators. Im glad we have people like her on the platform
I never wanted to post about your cord prolapse but I’m a nurse and the one thing I remember the most from my maternity class was that! My instructor said it’s so severe if you feel it, you are not supposed to remove your hand and go to the OR and keep the baby’s head pushed off the cord till the c section is done! Wesley being here is 100% a miracle!
I love hearing Colleen talk about her red carpet experience. Compared to "other celebrities" who find the red carpet season a big yawn, annoying, so much "i could be doing something else better than this" kind of attitude, where Colleen makes it so real and i just love her for that. Idk maybe it's me but i could def tell a difference and that's why Colleen is the queen ✌️🥰
Yeah thank God Wesley was ok, I mean things probably would have been more ok if ya know when your water broke early with a high risk twin pregnancy you rushed to the hospital like your doctor told you instead of eating, doing your hair for hours, taking pictures and vlogging... I'm sure that had nothing to do with your son's cord prolapse and your babies almost dying
@@liz-jj5tz Because Colleen doesn't get to play the "poor me" card when her selfish narcissistic actions almost caused the death of her children and she still ignores them half the time and calls them the "effing twins" So that her fans can wake up and see what a monster she is
Please include what your role in the birthing part is as well. If your pregnancy is high risk, and your water breaks, do not prolong treatment! The cord was prolapsed at home, too, if it was to the extent it was at the hospital. You are one fortunate mom. Things could've turned out so much worse. NEVER delay treatment. There's no time for a vlogging, eating, curling your hair, or anything. The lives of your babies should always be the most important.
I’m so thankful you decide to share everything about your pregnancies. It doesn’t scare me, it teaches me. It’s making me aware of the possibilities so that way I’m not ever blindsided by things that can happen and I think that’s probably one of the scariest things when it comes to pregnancy’s. You actually don’t know anything until you’re pregnant. But recently people are so open about talking about it that it makes me feel more prepared. So thank you for that!
im so happy you’re here from your birth experience and that westley is alright, its very scary, im so thankful both are great! i had a breech baby, preeclampsia, hemorrhaging, and hypermesis gravidarum, and a emergency c section at 37 wks on the dot. so much trauma but im so happy i got to live life with my baby, i thought id die right after having my baby its a feeling you never forget
I loved being pregnant, and loved giving birth (without epidural or pain meds. She was almost born on my toilet) but now it’s been 4 years since I’ve had a period due to endometriosis and PCOS. And all I want is another baby. Everyone’s struggles are different. But they’re still struggles. Love you so much colleen! You are a warrior!!
Being an EMT, and familiar with OB emergencies I want you to understand what exactly a prolapse cord really means, and why it’s extremely dangerous. The cord will kink and cut off blood supply and oxygen to the baby. This is why it’s extremely important to be transported by ambulance so they can transport and relieve the pressure from the cord prolapse. We are highly trained and skilled to handle this emergency situation… no need to be afraid now because Maisey is safe and sound. 😊 Thank you for sharing your birth stories with us!
Colleen you and your videos are my ultimate comfort zone, thanks for sharing bits of your life with us ❤ It's legit the best way to end my day when I see there's a new vlog before sleep!
I have 2 kids & for both pregnancies Me & you were both pregnant at the same time. So I have always enjoyed watching your videos. You’re so relatable & you helped me feel less alone with my second pregnancy because it wasn’t an easy one. & I also had a very traumatic birth experience too. I actually just read the notes/summary from my nurses & doctors & WOW I’m so lucky both me & my baby are alive. Thank you for sharing all that you do. & being so relatable you have no idea how much you help me & others❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You were sooo pretty in your pink dress and your hair was extra gorgeous - the bangs fit perfectly. You remind me of Linda Cardellini since you got your bangs. So pretty.
I love hearing you talk about your c-section experience. I had a c-section with my son, it was a completely different experience and honestly very preventable, I just didn’t have a good medical team. But hearing other people talk about their c-sections helps me cope with how traumatizing that experience was for me.
Hi Colleen!! Tortilla talk question.. as a mom of two we talk about being burnt out from taking care of a newborn & babies from feedings and sleepless nights etc, I was wondering if Erik has felt over stimulated or burnt out? I feel like you never hear about dads feeling the same as moms. What does Erik like to do to “reset” or if he just needs 10 minutes. Love you!
I love the look of admiration that Wesley has for Flynn😍 you can see he looks up to Flynn as a role model. I love all your close bonds you have with each other 🥰
Colleen, I rarely comment on your vlogs b/c I watch them on the TV, but I just wanted to tell you how much I admire you. The way you blazed your own trail creating Miranda. How besotted you are with your children. The courage to put a bit of your life online. Your vlogs are the best part of my day.
Colleen, you're so awesome! I wish that you could be as confident as Miranda! I didn't think you were awkward, but there was definitely a difference between you and her. You created Miranda AND 3 incredible kiddos - you have it going on girl!👏🏻🤗🥰
Today I really realized how much I love catching your vlogs. I love how real you are even when it's not pretty. Thanks for being a light in the world by just being you
As a fellow Jellycat enthusiast/collector it warms my heart watching Maisy fall in love with the Jellycat brand and understandably so because it is thee softest, cuddliest, well-made plushie brand there is out there!!! 🫶🏼🤭🥰
Cord trauma is apparently really bad. I'm not a nurse, but my mom is and when she had me, I wasn't breathing... I was blue... my APGAR was 3 because my cord was wrapped around my neck twice. but I got beat up by the doctors and eventually came around. she was terrified because she had had a stillborn (we think from that same issue) before my older sister and she was traumatized by that. So just know you're not alone and I'm so happy you and your kids are healthy and happy!
Tortilla talk Q: I'm feeling nostalgic and nosy. I love a lot of the same 90s/2000s things that you do. What was your favorite stuff from when you were a teenager? Toys, shows, movies, fashion trends, music. I grew up watching/reading a lot of Mary kate and ashley stuff - what was your favorite movie or TV series or book of them? On a side note - I've been watching for about a decade and I love you so much. You're so inspiring and wonderful and I'm so proud of everything you've accomplished. ❤️
Colleen you looked beautiful! I love how one day you're at an awards show and then the next you're sitting in the floor folding clothes. Keepin it real! Love you!!!
It was from watching your videos on the birth of the twins & Jessica's pregnancy videos where she described her experience with polyhydromnios that helped me be more prepared for the complications with my second born who was a C-section because I got risked out of my providers care due to the extra fluid, him being breech & the risk of prolapse. My provider was so careless about how she delivered the news of the added risks that even knowing what a prolapsed cord & polyhydromnios was was still really scary. I had a great experience with C-section (I've also done both ways) & am glad to be able to relate with a lot of your families experiences/ have been able to learn from them & your willingness to share. It really helped me.
Recently I saw a picture of myself from 7 years ago and thought beautiful- and look at me. I can't believe how critical I was of myself back then. I looked at your orange carpet pics and could see you- seeing you and all the things you may not like. But I just want to say beautiful. You looked so lovely and I hope in the next 7-10 years you look back and have a similar experience 💚
I have meet and greet tickets for your Thursday show in Durham, NC and I could not be more excited!!! I have watched you for at least 9 years and went to your show in New Haven in August and I can't wait to actually meet you in 2 days! :)
A lot of times when she shows Wesley he's w- sitting. We were always taught this wasn't good for a toddlers hips, commenting in the hopes that Colleen sees this or another comment like it.
My brother actually had a cord prolapse, it caused him to have cerebral palsy. He lived 9 years where he couldn’t walk or talk (only said a couple of words once). He’s in heaven now❤ I’m so happy that you have baby Wesley! He is so perfect❤️❤️
I loved how, as yourself, walking the carpet you were smiling and like socially anxious and BEAUTIFUL DRESS BTW. Then as Miranda you stayed confident and in character and I LOVED IT 😂 YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL PERSON COLLEEN
My mom was sedated after my C-section birth. They thought me dead. Obviously not. Average IQ. Below average sports. Uni degree and good job. Time will tell . Your babies look happy and loved. This is all that matters
Hi Colleen! I'm a triplet and when my siblings and I were born a similar thing occurred. My sister and I came out, and we were mostly okay, but when my brother came out he wasn't crying, and they found out that his lung collapsed. He was immediately rushed to surgery. However, in the long run, he ended up coming out of the NICU in 2 weeks, while my sister and I were there for 6 weeks. It's weird how things work out sometimes.
Jelly Cat are THE BEST stuffed animals!!! My favorite stuffed animal is a pig I've had since 2002 and it's still in fantastic condition despite all the love. Buy the entire Jelly Cat stock for Maisy, she deserves it!!!
COLLEEN!!!! I've watched you and your journey for more years than I can even remember. I rarely comment because I'm weird and I get stressed about it, but I'M COMING TO SEE YOU IN RALEIGH and I'm probably going to cry. That is all. Thank you for being such a warm presence in all of our lives all these years!
Colleen !!! You looked amazingly beautiful walking on down the red carpet as yourself !!! Also, how could they not let Erik and Kory walk with you ?! They WERE litteraly in the show !!!
I just cannot get over your talent and creativity, Colleen. I went to a show with my son because he's followed you for a long time. After our second show and the meet and greet, now I'm following your vlogs and watching Miranda videos on my own. Now my husband and mom even get a kick out of you! I have a feeling all 4 of us will be at the next Florida show! LOL
im so in LOVE ON HOW SHES A GREAT MOTHER BUT STILLPOST THESE VIDEOS FOR US TO WATCH AND ENJOY I LOVE U COLLEEN WERE BOTH MOMMYS AND WE STILL PUSH THROUGH THE TOUGH TIMES 🤗🤗
I love the behind the scenes stuff! It’s so so cool to see! You’re so relatable and you showing the red carpet and interviews is letting me live vicariously through you. And I love how you tell us you were nervous and uncomfy, but girl you killed it! So funny.
the fact that Maisy loves stuffed animals makes me think back to the psychic and how she said PILLOW. something to do with a pillow! maybe bc she loves stuffed animals!
I remember watching your video when your water broke and (I'm sorry) being really angry at you for laughing and doing your hair when to me, it was obvious that your baby could be in danger. I have wanted to reach out to you since then to ask you to please say something about how you should not have waited and that the situation was serious. I have told myself many times since then that you were way too vulnerable to ask that of you, but since you brought it up!!! Could you please edit your video with text saying that the situation was dangerous, and to never never do that if you are pregnant, and your water breaks prematurely - go to the hospital FAST. Do not do your hair. Do not joke around. GO. It was so good to hear you talk about this, and knowing now that you didn't know makes me want this even more. I knew, but I've had kids and I've had a friend lose a baby because of this.
As a labor and delivery nurse for over 30 years, it is very important to know a cord prolapse is EXTREMELY rare, and although it is an obstetric emergency, there is not always (or even usually) a bad outcome. Colleen did nothing wrong. Fixing her hair and brushing her teeth didn’t change a thing. I could be more detailed, but it would be triggering. I’m sure she called her dr/office or labor & delivery or followed prior instructions when her water broke. She in no way put her babies in harm. “When your water breaks you need to rush to the hospital” is not the usual and customary advice in real life (in certain cases we do say come sooner rather than later, but we ask certain questions when giving advice) even though that’s what you see in the media. I’m so sorry for your friend’s loss❤.
I’m going to your Charlotte show and I can’t wait to see you perform! This is my first ever concert/show and I just want to thank you for being someone I can watch everyday!❤️
I'm 20 and have never experienced a pregnancy but I am *sobbing* because my heart is breaking for Colleen and all the women in these comments who have had scary deliveries and just thinking how close they were to worst case scenario
Colleen you looked BEAUTIFUL with your hair up. Like I thought it looked so incredible so the fact that you thought it didn't look good, is bonkers because I thought it was STUNNING.
My daughter has the same exact jellycat duck! Of all her stuffed animals, it is her ONE. She takes her (she decided it was a girl) everywhere and calls her Dut Dut. I love that Maisie has one too!!

!!!CORD PROLAPSE STORY!!!
First I have to say our babies were originally due only a few days apart and I was so thankful to have YOU to go through my pregnancy with! ❤
I was induced at 37w4d. I labored for about 24 hours and only dilated to 3cm. They decided to break my water at that point. All was well.
Then I decided to get in the big bouncy ball. The nurses noticed with each bounce his heart rate would drop so I got back in bed. Then his heart rate would drop with each contraction which obviously was concerning so they decided to check me.
The second the dr was positioned to check I heard her yell.. CORD! And shit went from zero to 100 REAL. QUICK.
machines were unplugged.. nurses running around.. medical language being thrown about.
The dr said to me..her hand still inside, we have to do a C-section. I just said go go! Let’s go!! I knew exactly what had happened because of YOUR BIRTH STORY!
I was rushed out of my room, doctor riding on the bed with me, hand still inside holding the cord? I don’t even know lol.. and into the OR where I was COMPLETELY put out for the birth of my son.
Despite trying to years to get pregnant, resorting to a successful first round of IVF, and having this grand idea of a magical vaginal birth that was all but that.. I had a healthy perfect baby.
It was the scariest thing of my life!
Glad all of our babies are here safe and thank you for being in the back of my mind reassuring me that it was going to be ok!
Love ya!
Thank you for sharing! I'm glad you both are okay :)

Anytime a baby comes out and gets swept away from mom, I always make sure to stay by her side and keep updating the mom of what’s going on. I never leave the moms side because of how you described you felt during that traumatic experience. Lots of love 💗
Briana Nowell
Thank you for noticing that need & stepping up to take care of those mommas with additional attention & love during a very difficult time. Well done Briana! Please continue to do this in your practice because though still very hard for the momma you are literally creating a more peaceful, loving, & positive core memory vs an empty, lonely, & extremely more traumatic core memory for the remainder of the momma’s lives (hope that made sense). How we treat others always matters. Especially in the medical setting 💜
I always forget that Miranda is, like, REALLY popular 😂! I’ve never really been a fan of Miranda, so I just think of Colleen as a vlogger
same!
I wasn’t a fan of TH-cam Miranda but the Netflix shows are some of my favorites!!! If you haven’t seen the first season of Haters Back Off give it a try. I avoided it for years until I saw a few trailers for the series and had a feeling I’d like it.
me too. I have little cousins that always used the miranda voice.. I didn't get it. Miranda got on my radar since I was pregnant which is such a weird way to learn about someone who is a celebrity. i'm glad the algorithm worked in this case (:
Colleen, I’m a nurse on a high risk labor and delivery floor! So happy little Wes and Maisy were ok, I can’t imagine how scary that situation is from the family’s perspective. Quick question! I’ve always wondered how you were able to be awake through the c-section? In my experience, every cord prolapse, the patient has to be asleep under general anesthesia because there is no time for them to get an epidural. Were you able to get an epidural in the OR before they took babies out? Love you ❤
I remember watching your birth vlog with the twins racking my brain when you were casually doing your hair getting ready after your water broke. Like when you know what happens at the end of a movie but the character doesn’t.
TTQ: What are your surprises about how Eric is as a father?❤
No matter how famous Colleen gets, she will always think she is not famous. I love how down to earth you are Colleen. 💜
I agree
@@BrodiesPiano I say this with love and patience, but it's almost like this is literally her career and therefore, yes, we as "fans" buy what she sells and that helps her pay her taxes LMAO. Your energy would be better suited focusing on enriching things for your own life rather than what she does with hers
Down to earth, imposter syndrome, or both lol
@@BrodiesPiano Why are you here?
Famous in prision
Thank God for your the nurses and doctors. They do so much during those emergencies and for months after.
I had a 25 weeker, 1lb 5oz at birth.
It was the hardest time of my life but looking back all I feel is gratitude.
Honestly Colleen doesn't give herself enough credit. She looked absolutely stunning 😍
Tortilla Talk! I just learned on Miss Rachel that butterflies don't sleep, but they rest. It just reminded me of you and how you just rest for 10 minutes sometimes. And how your kids all love butterflies! You're the butterfly!
I love Colleen so much, I really feel she is one of the few genuine/herself on TH-cam, compared to those that only show the "good" all the time. She explains her struggles and just honest daily life and it makes her so much more human and relatable than other content creators. Im glad we have people like her on the platform
I never wanted to post about your cord prolapse but I’m a nurse and the one thing I remember the most from my maternity class was that! My instructor said it’s so severe if you feel it, you are not supposed to remove your hand and go to the OR and keep the baby’s head pushed off the cord till the c section is done! Wesley being here is 100% a miracle!
Jessica: “It would be a long walk, I was thinking about that”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
9:19
When Flynn says “nuffin’” to answer Colleen he sounds so British 😂😂 so funny
I love hearing Colleen talk about her red carpet experience. Compared to "other celebrities" who find the red carpet season a big yawn, annoying, so much "i could be doing something else better than this" kind of attitude, where Colleen makes it so real and i just love her for that. Idk maybe it's me but i could def tell a difference and that's why Colleen is the queen ✌️🥰
Yeah thank God Wesley was ok, I mean things probably would have been more ok if ya know when your water broke early with a high risk twin pregnancy you rushed to the hospital like your doctor told you instead of eating, doing your hair for hours, taking pictures and vlogging... I'm sure that had nothing to do with your son's cord prolapse and your babies almost dying
Why do you feel the need to say all of this?
@@liz-jj5tz Because Colleen doesn't get to play the "poor me" card when her selfish narcissistic actions almost caused the death of her children and she still ignores them half the time and calls them the "effing twins"
So that her fans can wake up and see what a monster she is
Please include what your role in the birthing part is as well. If your pregnancy is high risk, and your water breaks, do not prolong treatment! The cord was prolapsed at home, too, if it was to the extent it was at the hospital. You are one fortunate mom. Things could've turned out so much worse. NEVER delay treatment. There's no time for a vlogging, eating, curling your hair, or anything. The lives of your babies should always be the most important.
I’m so thankful you decide to share everything about your pregnancies. It doesn’t scare me, it teaches me. It’s making me aware of the possibilities so that way I’m not ever blindsided by things that can happen and I think that’s probably one of the scariest things when it comes to pregnancy’s. You actually don’t know anything until you’re pregnant. But recently people are so open about talking about it that it makes me feel more prepared. So thank you for that!
im so happy you’re here from your birth experience and that westley is alright, its very scary, im so thankful both are great! i had a breech baby, preeclampsia, hemorrhaging, and hypermesis gravidarum, and a emergency c section at 37 wks on the dot. so much trauma but im so happy i got to live life with my baby, i thought id die right after having my baby its a feeling you never forget
I loved being pregnant, and loved giving birth (without epidural or pain meds. She was almost born on my toilet) but now it’s been 4 years since I’ve had a period due to endometriosis and PCOS. And all I want is another baby. Everyone’s struggles are different. But they’re still struggles. Love you so much colleen! You are a warrior!!
Being an EMT, and familiar with OB emergencies I want you to understand what exactly a prolapse cord really means, and why it’s extremely dangerous. The cord will kink and cut off blood supply and oxygen to the baby. This is why it’s extremely important to be transported by ambulance so they can transport and relieve the pressure from the cord prolapse. We are highly trained and skilled to handle this emergency situation… no need to be afraid now because Maisey is safe and sound. 😊 Thank you for sharing your birth stories with us!
Colleen you and your videos are my ultimate comfort zone, thanks for sharing bits of your life with us ❤ It's legit the best way to end my day when I see there's a new vlog before sleep!
I have 2 kids & for both pregnancies
Me & you were both pregnant at the same time. So I have always enjoyed watching your videos. You’re so relatable & you helped me feel less alone with my second pregnancy because it wasn’t an easy one. & I also had a very traumatic birth experience too. I actually just read the notes/summary from my nurses & doctors & WOW I’m so lucky both me & my baby are alive. Thank you for sharing all that you do. & being so relatable you have no idea how much you help me & others❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I loved your pony with your bangs!!! You looked so pretty!
Thank you for educating me about the cord stuff! I usually don’t stick around for the ending conversations and this was good!
You were sooo pretty in your pink dress and your hair was extra gorgeous - the bangs fit perfectly. You remind me of Linda Cardellini since you got your bangs. So pretty.
You walking the Red Carpet was sweet and then Miranda just being Miranda to the fullest is so funny!!!! So glad you both got to do the walk!💋💋
I love hearing you talk about your c-section experience. I had a c-section with my son, it was a completely different experience and honestly very preventable, I just didn’t have a good medical team. But hearing other people talk about their c-sections helps me cope with how traumatizing that experience was for me.
Omg my social anxiety could never! 😂 I completely understand how you felt! Even though I have never been in any type of environment like that.
Hi Colleen!!
Tortilla talk question.. as a mom of two we talk about being burnt out from taking care of a newborn & babies from feedings and sleepless nights etc, I was wondering if Erik has felt over stimulated or burnt out? I feel like you never hear about dads feeling the same as moms. What does Erik like to do to “reset” or if he just needs 10 minutes.
Love you!
I live for her cats on the stairs watching her chat w us!! Oh how they love their mommy!!
I love the look of admiration that Wesley has for Flynn😍 you can see he looks up to Flynn as a role model. I love all your close bonds you have with each other 🥰
Colleen, I rarely comment on your vlogs b/c I watch them on the TV, but I just wanted to tell you how much I admire you. The way you blazed your own trail creating Miranda. How besotted you are with your children. The courage to put a bit of your life online.
Your vlogs are the best part of my day.
lmao i screamed when gus showed up on the stairs 5:26 😂😂😂
i love the cats always creepin on the stairs behind you. i cant not focus on it 😂❤️
Colleen, you're so awesome! I wish that you could be as confident as Miranda! I didn't think you were awkward, but there was definitely a difference between you and her. You created Miranda AND 3 incredible kiddos - you have it going on girl!👏🏻🤗🥰
YES!!! I LOVE that you got to walk as Miranda too!!! Haha that was GREAT! & so glad your family got to come too!
Omg I loveeeed what you did in the kca! You’re the best!
I love how Gus is just watching you in the stairs while you telling about you kca experience
That purse is so cute!!!!!
You looked beautiful on the red carpet
Today I really realized how much I love catching your vlogs. I love how real you are even when it's not pretty. Thanks for being a light in the world by just being you
As a fellow Jellycat enthusiast/collector it warms my heart watching Maisy fall in love with the Jellycat brand and understandably so because it is thee softest, cuddliest, well-made plushie brand there is out there!!! 🫶🏼🤭🥰
Oh my gos this look looks so good! Obsessed. The bangs and the dress were made for each other. So happy for you
Cord trauma is apparently really bad. I'm not a nurse, but my mom is and when she had me, I wasn't breathing... I was blue... my APGAR was 3 because my cord was wrapped around my neck twice. but I got beat up by the doctors and eventually came around. she was terrified because she had had a stillborn (we think from that same issue) before my older sister and she was traumatized by that. So just know you're not alone and I'm so happy you and your kids are healthy and happy!
Tortilla talk Q: I'm feeling nostalgic and nosy. I love a lot of the same 90s/2000s things that you do. What was your favorite stuff from when you were a teenager? Toys, shows, movies, fashion trends, music.
I grew up watching/reading a lot of Mary kate and ashley stuff - what was your favorite movie or TV series or book of them?
On a side note - I've been watching for about a decade and I love you so much. You're so inspiring and wonderful and I'm so proud of everything you've accomplished. ❤️
Colleen you looked beautiful! I love how one day you're at an awards show and then the next you're sitting in the floor folding clothes. Keepin it real! Love you!!!
I love that you are talking about this. One of my friends just lost her boy and girl twins at 20 weeks pregnant. Thanks for being you
It was from watching your videos on the birth of the twins & Jessica's pregnancy videos where she described her experience with polyhydromnios that helped me be more prepared for the complications with my second born who was a C-section because I got risked out of my providers care due to the extra fluid, him being breech & the risk of prolapse. My provider was so careless about how she delivered the news of the added risks that even knowing what a prolapsed cord & polyhydromnios was was still really scary. I had a great experience with C-section (I've also done both ways) & am glad to be able to relate with a lot of your families experiences/ have been able to learn from them & your willingness to share. It really helped me.
I’m sooo excited to see you on tour 🥰🥰. I just bought a meet and greet ticket for Memphis on April 1st
I work at a store that sells Jellycat stuffed animals and they have ladybug and worm ones, and I always think of the twins when I see them!
So cute!!
Recently I saw a picture of myself from 7 years ago and thought beautiful- and look at me. I can't believe how critical I was of myself back then. I looked at your orange carpet pics and could see you- seeing you and all the things you may not like. But I just want to say beautiful. You looked so lovely and I hope in the next 7-10 years you look back and have a similar experience 💚
Can we discuss how good both Erik and Colleen looked at the awards??
Like DAMN Y'ALL ARE SOME HOT TAMALES
Yes!!!!
Exactly!! In my opinion she was the best looking one there but I might be biased
I have meet and greet tickets for your Thursday show in Durham, NC and I could not be more excited!!! I have watched you for at least 9 years and went to your show in New Haven in August and I can't wait to actually meet you in 2 days! :)
A lot of times when she shows Wesley he's w- sitting. We were always taught this wasn't good for a toddlers hips, commenting in the hopes that Colleen sees this or another comment like it.
Your KCA photos are literally STUNNING 😭
My brother actually had a cord prolapse, it caused him to have cerebral palsy. He lived 9 years where he couldn’t walk or talk (only said a couple of words once). He’s in heaven now❤ I’m so happy that you have baby Wesley! He is so perfect❤️❤️
You looked so good as yourself. The bangs look really good on you! Gives you a youthful look. It's giving Anne Hathaway too
I Love Colleen’s bangs with the ponytail, she’s serving
I loved how, as yourself, walking the carpet you were smiling and like socially anxious and BEAUTIFUL DRESS BTW. Then as Miranda you stayed confident and in character and I LOVED IT 😂 YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL PERSON COLLEEN
My mom was sedated after my C-section birth. They thought me dead. Obviously not. Average IQ. Below average sports. Uni degree and good job. Time will tell . Your babies look happy and loved. This is all that matters
Colleeeeen!!! That pink dress and your bangs with ponytail OMG 😍 ✨ 💕 You are STUNNING!!
My daughter LOVES the jellycat bunny too! I’ve been wanting to get the duck too I better order it! You looked amazing btw Colleen!
Hi Colleen! I'm a triplet and when my siblings and I were born a similar thing occurred. My sister and I came out, and we were mostly okay, but when my brother came out he wasn't crying, and they found out that his lung collapsed. He was immediately rushed to surgery. However, in the long run, he ended up coming out of the NICU in 2 weeks, while my sister and I were there for 6 weeks. It's weird how things work out sometimes.
5.28 Gus & Daisy watching Colleen from the top of the stair case ! 💞👍🏻😹😹👍🏻💞
I love the fact that she wanted to walk down the red carpet as Miranda. Yassss
Jelly Cat are THE BEST stuffed animals!!! My favorite stuffed animal is a pig I've had since 2002 and it's still in fantastic condition despite all the love. Buy the entire Jelly Cat stock for Maisy, she deserves it!!!
COLLEEN!!!! I've watched you and your journey for more years than I can even remember. I rarely comment because I'm weird and I get stressed about it, but I'M COMING TO SEE YOU IN RALEIGH and I'm probably going to cry. That is all. Thank you for being such a warm presence in all of our lives all these years!
Just spotted your kitty’s photo bombing your video from the stairs at the 5 minute 40 second mark. Too cute!😍
Awww love seeing Maisy with her duck toys and cuddles makes me smile so precious ❤
I love daisy in the background looking confused lol
Colleen !!! You looked amazingly beautiful walking on down the red carpet as yourself !!! Also, how could they not let Erik and Kory walk with you ?! They WERE litteraly in the show !!!
Maisy has great taste...I love Jelly Cat stuffies too and I'm 63.
“Timelapse of me putting some beads on my butt!” 🎶🎶🎶 did anyone else laugh extremely hard? 😂
I just cannot get over your talent and creativity, Colleen. I went to a show with my son because he's followed you for a long time. After our second show and the meet and greet, now I'm following your vlogs and watching Miranda videos on my own. Now my husband and mom even get a kick out of you! I have a feeling all 4 of us will be at the next Florida show! LOL
Colleen you are so great at all you do and so informative it helps a lot of people! Love to the family and kory!
i LOVE the bangs. also, you are my lifeline. i wouldn’t be here without you, i love you and thank you for doing what you do. ❤️
Im not blind but i love the solution u came up with for blind viewers. to just sing a little quick explanation lol its so cute and simple
Colleen!!! I’d love to see a pack with me video for tour or a vacation!!!!
im so in LOVE ON HOW SHES A GREAT MOTHER BUT STILLPOST THESE VIDEOS FOR US TO WATCH AND ENJOY I LOVE U COLLEEN WERE BOTH MOMMYS AND WE STILL PUSH THROUGH THE TOUGH TIMES 🤗🤗
I love the behind the scenes stuff! It’s so so cool to see! You’re so relatable and you showing the red carpet and interviews is letting me live vicariously through you. And I love how you tell us you were nervous and uncomfy, but girl you killed it! So funny.
The look on Cory’s face when you started vlogging instead of leaving the room 😂
the fact that Maisy loves stuffed animals makes me think back to the psychic and how she said PILLOW. something to do with a pillow! maybe bc she loves stuffed animals!
I remember watching your video when your water broke and (I'm sorry) being really angry at you for laughing and doing your hair when to me, it was obvious that your baby could be in danger. I have wanted to reach out to you since then to ask you to please say something about how you should not have waited and that the situation was serious. I have told myself many times since then that you were way too vulnerable to ask that of you, but since you brought it up!!! Could you please edit your video with text saying that the situation was dangerous, and to never never do that if you are pregnant, and your water breaks prematurely - go to the hospital FAST. Do not do your hair. Do not joke around. GO. It was so good to hear you talk about this, and knowing now that you didn't know makes me want this even more. I knew, but I've had kids and I've had a friend lose a baby because of this.
As a labor and delivery nurse for over 30 years, it is very important to know a cord prolapse is EXTREMELY rare, and although it is an obstetric emergency, there is not always (or even usually) a bad outcome. Colleen did nothing wrong. Fixing her hair and brushing her teeth didn’t change a thing. I could be more detailed, but it would be triggering. I’m sure she called her dr/office or labor & delivery or followed prior instructions when her water broke. She in no way put her babies in harm. “When your water breaks you need to rush to the hospital” is not the usual and customary advice in real life (in certain cases we do say come sooner rather than later, but we ask certain questions when giving advice) even though that’s what you see in the media. I’m so sorry for your friend’s loss❤.
I’m going to your Charlotte show and I can’t wait to see you perform! This is my first ever concert/show and I just want to thank you for being someone I can watch everyday!❤️
I loved ur hair and outfit! You looked so pretty and I loved that u walked down the red carpet as Miranda as well😂
Well, other than that carpet being orange and not red, you slayed!!
I love how fucking real you are! You are fearless and we love you for it.
🤣🤣🤣 Those pants!!! From the front and back, absolutely hilarious ❤️🐫💜🤣 #hatersbackoff 🫶🥰☀️
I'm 20 and have never experienced a pregnancy but I am *sobbing* because my heart is breaking for Colleen and all the women in these comments who have had scary deliveries and just thinking how close they were to worst case scenario
YOU LOOKED STUNNING OMG BEAUTIFUL AND THE PONYTAIL WITH BANGS I LOOVEEE SLAYY
Colleen you looked BEAUTIFUL with your hair up. Like I thought it looked so incredible so the fact that you thought it didn't look good, is bonkers because I thought it was STUNNING.
I’ve been walking carpets lately I understand the dissonance you’re talking about!
Yay chickens!!! 🎉 Hope Gwen was there supervising
My daughter has the same exact jellycat duck! Of all her stuffed animals, it is her ONE. She takes her (she decided it was a girl) everywhere and calls her Dut Dut. I love that Maisie has one too!!
Parker is so adorable I just love his little voice
