Oh mama, I was so sad when you started getting emotional! At the end of the day, you had a healthy, beautiful, baby girl in your arms and you were safe. With that being said; it’s perfectly normal to grieve the loss of the birth that you wanted and imagined all of these years. Let yourself cry and process those emotions~ you feelings are valid and REAL. I am SO SORRY for all you went through; you are in my thoughts.
ER Nurse Thank you for your words of compassion. I truly appreciate it. I know many won’t understand but I am grateful for those of you who can be empathetic to where I am. I will process and heal. Thank you! 😘
I feel the same way. Have been waiting for this video post. So glad that mom, dad and baby girl are all well.
Very well said!
ER Nurse yes, I second that Her feelings are valid and real !!!!!
I love how connected you guys are. As soon as your voice got shaky Mondo responded and comforted you. You guys are the sweetest couple.
MELMUR4564 He is the best! ❤️
I've learned in all my years, no matter what plans I make, God always has other plans! I do understand your grieving process. You did a great job, congrats on you beautiful daughter!
Becky Diaz Thank you!
Hey mama I'm a nurse and did a few years in Labor and delivery. Let me give you a silver lining. I don't know if you will be doing IVF in the future for a baby #2 BUT in the event you do, I have seen MANY Mama's have a stalled labor with #1 and after that their bodies know what to do and have NO problems progressing. That's why labors with each baby gets shorter. You did Soooo sooooo much. Hats off to you. THAT was not an easy labor. You handled it so well!
Oh Salina I hate seeing you cry!! I had a 2 day induction for my first baby. I was stuck at 4 cm for over 3 hours. My second birth was a vaginal birth after a c-section. It doesn’t matter how you deliver your baby as long as you are both safe!!!! I know it’s hard!! Please be easy on ourself!!
I love how Mondo words it at the end. You can love your daughter with every fiber of your being and still grieve the loss of your dream birth. The two are not mutually exclusive. It took me awhile to come to terms with my induction. It was so not how I had wanted my daughter to come into the world and it was so rough on my body. But with time I healed and now she is 20 months and I am 10 weeks along with my second. I'm in a place where I am positive again and am once again reaching for that dream birth, just with a slightly different perspective :) what you and Mondo have described, remember it always. There will be days where you might feel like "Man, I love my daughter so much but today I am not liking parenthood." It's so important to normalize these feelings instead of beating ourselves up for it. Sorry for such a long comment but this really resonated with me. And just from an outsiders perspective, knowing your journey and hearing this birth story, all I can think is how truly inspired I am by your strength and your grace through it all. I hope that one day you see that as the big takeaway here. Valentina is so lucky that you are her mama ❤
K V Wow, what a beautiful message. Thank you so much. It’s so good that women such as yourself are sharing the realities of what it can be like during the postpartum stage. It’s not something you’re ever really prepared for. Congratulations to you on your pregnancy. I truly hope that you are able to have that dream birth that you have envisioned in your mind.❤️
@@letsmakelemonade5764 Thank you so so much ♡
I had to have an emergency c-section for my first child. It saved both of our lives. It is my daughter's story of survival. It made her strong. She was and is healthy and at the end of the day, that's all that matters. She is now a mommy of four herself. You and your baby are blessed. Enjoy!
Blue Smokey Bars Thanks!
As the saying goes "Always expect the unexpected". In the end both your fine, that's what matters. Your parents now after a long wait of infertility. Congratulations.
Salina, you have every right to be disappointed with your birth experience. You had to go through so much with IVF and infertility, which I know is not what any of us want to have to endure. You made the right decision for yourself and Valentina in the moment. I’m so moved to see that you put your own wants aside to make your first major decision as a MOTHER. This is what we do for our babies. You’re a rockstar and Valentina is a very lucky little girl to have you as her Mommy. (I’m 19 weeks pregnant with my IVF rainbow baby girl, and bawling as I write this. Sending love and hugs to you, Mondo, and Baby Val !❤️)
C sections aren’t that bad. I’ve had 2. The first saved my sons life. Sometimes life doesn’t go the way you want.
Heather Pride I’m sure that if I didn’t plan and completely invest in a homebirth, I would have thought that a cesarean birth wasn’t a big deal either.
Grieving your birth plan is SOO okay!! ❤️I’m so thankful you both are aware of this, as so many people feel guilty for feeling that grief! Of course, the most important thing is the health of your baby but the BIRTH is one of the most monumental moments in a parents life! It’s okay to cry! I’m thankful you have a doula and midwife that you can process all your emotions with! Thank you for this REAL and RAW video!!
caclark Thank you!
I had a similar experience! C section was the only thing I hadn’t prepared for. Although I knew I’d have my baby in the hospital. It’s hard to come to terms with an experience that you didn’t expect but you did what ultimately saved your baby. She’s so worth it. The birth of a child is perfect regardless of the the type of birth. All Moms are so strong.
valv1 You’re right. Thank you!
You did great momma! Please don't be sad over the C-section. You are amazing!!!
Pamela Hale Thanks!
First never apologize for the time it took to put out this video. You two are the most precious couple ever. I really felt your emotions on how you wanted everything to go. In the end you are both safe. Little Valentina is absolutely gorgeous. She's finally here & watching the next episodes of your family will be just as beautiful. Ty for sharing. Take all the time you need. Lot's of love & hugs from a distance to you all. Excited to see what follows
I love love love how Mondo shows his love for you. He comforted you immediately when he get you needed it the most. Your family is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing, and showing us that you are relatable to us and that having a birth plan is just that, a plan. Sometimes things don’t go as we planned and that’s ok. You are such a strong woman, and you have overcome so many obstacles with grace and dignity. Take the time you need to grieve, and to heal. Valentina is beautiful and perfect in every way ❤️ Congratulations again!
Tiffany K Thanks so much! ❤️
Y’all are just so solid and so sweet! I’m an L&D nurse and y’all really explain these process and emotions so well and so logically. Congrats on your sweet girl!
Trish Lawrence Thank you so much!
Oh I cried with you! That feeling after not getting the birth you wanted is heart breaking. I had a traumatic birth and 20 months later it’s still hard to talk about and not cry! Praying for healing for you
tina maletta Thanks so much.
Sometimes things don’t work out the way we would like them too, but mommy and baby are healthy and home, the simple things in life.
Awwww I understand and I love how hubby took over once you got emotional and also comforted you . I love watching you guys and congratulations on baby Val
Mesha Whit Thank you!
I TOTALLY AGREE. THE DRUGS THAT DRS USE TO HELP YOUR CONTRACTIONS MAKE YOUR CONTRACTIONS SOOOOOO MUCH MORE INTENSE!!👀
THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THIS STORY IS THAT YOU HAVE YOUR BLESSING!!💛💛
Wow so crazy how the plans can change so much! Congrats on your beautiful baby girl! I know this is not what you wanted but it is all worth it in the end! ♥️
Congratulations. She’s perfect! 🥰
I’m so sorry the birth didn’t go as you planned. Your emotions are totally valid. I’m so glad you’re giving yourself the time and space to process and grieve them. You guys are an awesome team and support to each other. Cling to each other. If you got through ten years of infertility, I know you can get through this. 💕
Miss C Thank you for your kind words. I will certainly get through this also.❤️
You guys have every right to morn the dream birth, just remember your not alone many of us moms expierenced the same, and its hard! At the end of the day we will do anything for our perfect babies! I have loved every photo y’all post on instagram, i run to my husband loooooook at the baby!!!! I have a little 14 week old myself! I’m excited to keep hearing of valentina!!!!!! God bless!
Please don’t feel alone in having a dream birth plan. I felt the same way when I was pregnant with my son and I really was looking forward to having a natural birth and when that didn’t happened I was devastated and cried the whole time during my emergency c section. I almost had postpartum depression because of it. But I would talk to my partner a lot and it helped me get through it. So please don’t let that happen to you keep going strong 💪🏻 always talk to him when you feel down. Sending lots of love!! 💕💕💕💕
Cristina Esquivel Talking about it certainly does help. Thank you!
You are a warrior mama! Congratulations!
REMEMBER MAMA ENJOY THIS MOMENT!
ITS OKAY...JUST TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME. GIVE YOURSELF SO TIME. SENDING YOU ALL LOVE AND HAPPINESS AND PEACE💛💛
I can so relate to grieving the process... Being pregnant during Covid has had all my pregnancy dreams to an end: no baby shower, no shopping for baby stuff with my mom, no maternity photoshoot... And it's important to allow ourselves to grieve and feel the frustration. Hang in there guys! It's not easy! Sending lots of love xxx
Kay Cee Thank you! ❤️
congrats for having Valentina..you did great mama..you did everything you could and that's the important thing...just a quote a heard earlier "a moment of pain is worth a lifetime of glory"❤️🇵🇭
Awh first of all I want to say CONGRATULATIONS! She is so adorable! I am so happy for your little family! ♥️ Now, I want to say I know how you feel about not getting the birth you dreamt of. I was able to have both my babies vaginally but I didn’t get my “perfect scenario birth experience” either time. I just had my baby boy 7 weeks ago and I had such high hopes for this birth experience, and the day I went into labor was the day the hospital rules changed. I wasn’t allowed to have my doula in the hospital with my and I found out after I had gotten to the hospital and I had no other options. I had no support person (my husband has terrible medical anxiety) so I had to get an epidural and do a lot of my labor and birth completely on my own. It’s so hard when you don’t get the birth you want. I’ve cried out of frustration so many times, but it’s important to let yourself feel those emotions. Giving birth is such a life changing experience and it’s natural to want to have it go a specific way. But just know you’re an amazing mama and you tried your best and regardless of how she came into this world you GREW a perfect little girl! You are a rockstar! ♥️♥️♥️
Lily Burton Thanks so much!
This is a triumph! You have a beautiful, healthy baby girl!! This is not a failure. You carried and nourished your little girl for so long and you made the best decision for her. Take the time to grieve. You're allowed. ❤
Fran G Thank you!
I totally get this grieving process of losing the birth experience you’d hoped got. My daughter just had to have a c section. It’s hard! Take your time to allow that grieving time. It’s totally normal to feel this way. And sweet Valentina will be there to help you through this. She is a mini you💝
Janeth Wendel Thanks so much! ❤️
Salina, i love you! You are such a strong fighter!! You literally are motivations and strength to so many of us women who are fighting what you have fought! Thank you for sharing your journey
Zakeya McKee Thank you, friend. ❤️
Congratulations!!! Yes you have a beautiful healthy baby, but you have every right to go through your emotions as well. Xoxo God bless you all always
Seeing you get so emotional breaks my heart ❤️ but baby girl is here and she’s healthy and you’re healthy and that’s what matters most! I totally understand what you mean about being happy and grieving. I wish you guys nothing but the best!
Erica & Imari Thank you!
Crying here with you, you are amazing for going through all that! Valentina is beautiful! Congratulations!
Christina Rodriguez Thank you so much! 🥰
Congratulations to you both! It's such a joy, simple joy that someone experiences easy, but someone through suffer... I don't like to tell it's a blessing...I like the answer on the prayers..
We were started ivf together with you..we had 2 frozen embryo transfers, unfortunately there were negative..but we are not giving up and after this pandemy we are going further to our goal..
Thank you so much for shearing your story!!! I'm really happy for your family! God bless you! ❤
Dace Nirka Thank you for sharing. I wish you all the best in your journey and truly hope that you get all your heart desires. Blessings to you! ❤️
She is so beautiful! Congrats to you both! God is so good ❤️
I’m 1 month late but I have to say how much I love your relationship. They way your husband steps in any time your voice cracks is so sweet and comforting. And Salina you are such a strong woman. I hope you’re feeling better and I can’t wait to see baby V. I know you guys are truly amazing parents 🥰🥰
AriannaGiselle999 What a beautiful message. Thank you so much! ☺️
Know you are not alone. I have a similar story.. I understand your pain and joy! Give yourself time! Much love to you all! Val is a beautiful gift!!
Time To Craft I very much appreciate your kind words!
Very very rarely does a birth plan, you have your daughters, wallow in your love for her!
A birth plan for a first baby, never heard of one going to plan!
I have had four children every single one was a whole different experience’ x
Oh Salina I’m praying that you are able to find peace soon with grieving over your birth. I totally understand how you feel because that was my worst fear as well so I totally understand. I’m just glad that you and baby Val got home safe. Thank you for sharing your experience and being so transparent. Congrats again Mondo and Salina you guys were already adorable together but with the new addition I’m sure it’s that much sweeter. 💕
Shalom Shalom So sweet, thank you! ❤️
Cheeky little Princess was too comfy with you Mamma! You're a warrior, you did so amazingly AND you made lemonade out of the lemons!!! You now have a healthy little baby and a healthy Mummy. Congratulations to you both xxx
Jojo Zep Thanks so much! ☺️
I never comment on videos and I know this is a little late in relation to when it was posted, but I really wanted to share my experience and thoughts to hopefully offer encouragement and hope to some degree.
Back in 2013 at 33 years old I was due with my husband and I’s 1st baby girl. I had seen a midwife my entire pregnancy through and never once set foot in the hospital for a scan or a blood draw. I wanted to do things completely natural. I had dreams and hopes of a home water birth as well. So as to make a long story shorter I too ended up in the hospital with a c-section. My water had broken 2 days prior to my labor beginning and against some peoples recommendations waited it out. In the end I had the c-section because our baby was breach. She was born healthy and well, yet I was incredibly wounded, broken, and utterly defeated due to my birth experience. I can completely relate to how you are feeling and hearing your birth story took me back.
Moving on to my next pregnancy, I found a new amazing midwife and planned to do a home VBAC. At only 10 weeks along I found out I was pregnant with our identical twin girls. The plan to have a home birth went down the drain again! I was deeply saddened but determined to at least do it naturally if at all possible. I did do things a little different and with a lot of prayer and standing up for myself I ended up getting a natural drug free VBAC of our twin girls in 2015 at 35 years old. There was so much healing that took place there, for me it was the only thing that could take all of the sting completely away from my birth experience with my first daughter. I thank the Lord for the blessing of having our twins naturally and for the healing it brought to my heart. The feeling of being triumphant as they wheeled the 3 of us out of the OR ( twins have to be born in the OR) was incomparable to almost any feeling. I even made it to 37 weeks and my twins did not need any NICU time at all. I was still missing one thing though, and that was having a home water birth.
Back in 2018 at 38 years old, without my midwife present as she had to be out of state for a few days, I gave birth to our 4th baby girl unassisted at home in my bathtub. With only 2 pushes all my hopes and dreams for my birth experience were born! The sweetness of what I had achieved would never have been as sweet, if not for where I had come from!
God is good, and He will also bring you the healing you need in whatever way He knows that you need it to be in.
All Gods richest blessings and best to you and your sweet family💗
Wow, what a beautiful message. Thank you so much for taking the time to send this. This truly gives me hope for my future and I hope others who read it will also have hope. May God continue to bless you and your family. ❤️
I’m so sorry you went through that Salina. I just had my second baby on April 2nd so all of these hormones and thoughts are still fresh in my head as well. You two went through a lot and your feelings are completely valid. My advice to you is that if you are struggling with this for a while just know that it is okay to not be okay. Some days feel like you are going to drown in your thoughts, anxieties, and emotions. Just know that you aren’t alone in them and that it will pass. I’m happy she is a good baby for you because having a colicky baby makes it so much harder. One day you will look back and think “wow that was the most wonderful/awful time but I am stronger now” and it’s okay to feel like that. I’m sending you thoughts and prayers that the bliss overpowers the grief. You guys are awesome and made perfect choices in a tough situation. That reflects how you will be as parents. ❤️ take care.
Cassandra Schroeder Thank you so much! ☺️
She's here!! And she is gorgeous ❤️. Congratulations
I started tearing up hearing you talk about the c-section and I just want to say how sorry I am and that you're allowed to grieve your birth story. These grievances won't go away overnight and that's 100% okay. I'm following you on Instagram and can I just say what an amazing job you're doing?! Little valentina is beyond blessed to have you as her mama! ♡
Farha Adam So sweet. Thank you! ❤️
I love you both. Congratulations momma. I’m glad she is healthy. Enjoy your blessing from above.
Hugs to you guys. Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl! You guys absolutely have the right to grieve your loss dream birth! I'm so glad you guys have each other and baby Val 💗
You did an amazing job God had the perfect plan for you! Congratulations on baby girl! ❤️
We are so blessed that you shared Val's birth story. First I'm so excited that you got your dream fulfilled and you are parents to a beautiful baby girl! She is so precious and I know that you two are so thankful to have been chosen to have her as your daughter! Enjoy this amazing journey! Second and just as equally important, you have every right to feel the way you do about your birth story! I'm so frustrated with society that's says we aren't to feel what we feel. "You should just be so thankful for your daughter and who cares about how she got here"! Well I call BS! You have every right to grieve! You have every right to feel the way you both feel! As I am currently going through a struggle in my life right now ppl are saying that God is going to put you where he wants to and this is all for a greater purpose and that maybe true but it doesn't mean that I can't be sad and mad at my situation. I know most ppl are trying to be kind and encourage me to focus on the positive but when you've put so much time, sweat, tears, sleepless nights, and love into something and to have it snatched away from you, it sucks! So take your time to process it, feel it, grieve it and most importantly work through it! Don't suppress it or just bury it! Lean on each other and grow from it! You two are such a beautiful couple and show so much love and Grace! You will come out on the other side stronger. At least that is what I keep telling myself as I walk through my journey. Though it is completely different it is no less the same. Grief is Grief! So stay strong, cry when you need to, hug each other all the time, and be at peace! My thoughts and prayers to you both and to your beautiful baby girl! P.S. I love Valentina's nickname Val! It is a great strong name. One of my BFF, her nickname is Val and she is one of the kindest, strong, smart, beautiful woman I know!
k D Thank you so much! ❤️
I waited to watch this because I know the sadness and grieving not having the birth you want. I hated when people told me to not be sad about my c-section that all that mattered was a healthy baby. I was happy for my healthy baby. I was still sad and struggled with depression from my birth experience. My first was a c-section. My next 5 were vbacs! And I will never forgot Mondo saying, "We'll keep having them til we get our homebirth!" Lol! We say we're gonna keep having babies til we get one we like. Lol. Hugs momma! You are a beautiful family and she is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your story!
Mindy's Kids Thank you for understanding and for sharing your encouraging 5 VBACs. That really is amazing! That gives me hope! ❤️
My first birth was traumatic and a c-section. It's ok to be sad, it's ok to grieve the birth you wanted. Don't let anyone tell you differently. I cried for months and months after my traumatic experience. I didn't fully heal emotionally from my first birth until my homebirth VBAC with my son 2 years later. You aren't alone, your sadness and feelings are valid. Sending all my love your way 💜
Also, not feeling that immediate love and connection with baby is soo normal too!! Especially after all your body has been through!! I wish more people talked about that more!
My daughter is 5 now and I still grieve her delivery. A prolapsed cord was found at my 37 week ultrasound so I was rushed into an emergency c-section without ever experiencing labor. I completely understand how you feel robbed of your dream. I also was completely out of it after her delivery and honestly don't remember anything from the night she was born. Our daughter had an unexpected physical disability on top of all of this so her delivery left me with PTSD for years. In November I had our second child and was able to have a VBAC. I truly hope that one day you get to experience the labor and delivery that you wanted. You have every right to be upset and grieve what you dreamed of for so many months, in no way does that mean you love your daughter any less. Allow yourself to grieve and talk about your feelings.
Tiffany Marshall This is so great to see from another mother who has experienced what I’m feeling. That’s so awesome that you experienced your VBAC. I do pray I can one day experience that too. Thank you so much for sharing! ❤️
You two are such an inspiration ❤
Somehow this made me a little less scared to give birth. You literally went through everything you possibly could have. Nothing but love for you two!
Stephanie Ufkin Thank you!
Hunny she is here and she is healthy and safe and that’s all that matters.
I had an induction with my first when we had planned a birth center birth, the death of that dream led to bad postpartum depression. It's good you have such a supportive hubby to understand your burden. It took me a few months to get over the birth I didn't get, but once I started enjoying my baby the birth wasn't a big deal anymore and I was able to get the birth I wanted next time! Blessings!!
The Frontier Family That is wonderful & so encouraging. Thanks for sharing!
You guys look AMAZING for just have giving birth to Valentina!! Honey allow all your emotions to come when they come. It is valid!! You are not alone!! We are all One. Much love to you and your family. AND thank you for sharing your journey.
Julie Leet Thank you!
Congratulations on your baby! You're a warrior! You gave it your everything & her safe delivery was the most important thing! God bless you guys!
A Ruyolty Truly, thanks so much! ❤️
you did an absolutely amazing job. your an amazing mom. i have had three c sections myself. it's gonna be okay. you are amazing.
Roni Hart Thanks!
Oh my love, it’s ok to feel like this. It’s so, so ok. My heart broke with yours while watching this video. Yes your little one is perfect and you love her, but this is about you grieving a loss, and your beautiful little girl doesn’t take away from that loss, they’re two separate things, one doesn’t balance the other out. Would you consider some counselling in the next few months, not right away, reflect a little first, and enjoy your precious bundle, but counselling would be good in the future, it will help to untangle your thoughts and experience. Lots of love to you three. Xoxo
Alexandra Yes, I would. My doula gave me some resources to talk with someone. Thank you for your encouragement.
She liked where she was. It was so different from what you wanted. She is worth it and you still find hard. Love the name.
Janine Bell Thank you very much.
Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl!!!!! We are c section twins!!!!! Had my baby boy on 4/21 via c section too! I totally understand grieving the process!!!! My son was born 6 weeks early and is still in the NICU. It’s a hard pill to swallow when plans change. I pray that your recovery has been an easy one!
Dakeya Habersham I hope you’re able to bring your son home soon!
You guys are awesome so don’t feel bad xxxxx you have a little miracle to love 💖
I am so sorry you didn’t have the birth you envisioned. You absolutely can grieve the birth that you wanted. I really appreciate how open you guys have been through this whole process. Giving you guys a HUGE virtual hug! And Baby Val is absolutely beautiful. The first picture I saw of her, I literally gasped. So so so precious!
CurtandBre Buck Thank you! ❤️
Congratulations on the arrival of your baby girl 💖 she is very adorable 💓 I’m so sorry for what you have been through, I was in a similar situation as yours. After almost 9 years of dealing with infertility. I conceived my baby girl via IVF. I tried everything on my hands to start the labour naturally but unfortunate nothing worked. Since I passed 41 weeks my doctor wasn’t comfortable letting me wait until 42 weeks or after, so we scheduled an induction at 41w+3days. After hours of labouring my baby heart beats were reducing so I ended up delivering her via c section on 20th of April. I was tired and exhausted, my husband wasn’t allowed to be with me in the OR because of COVID-19 situation. I was crying the whole time because I was tired and this is not what I wanted. I’m so thankful for a nurse who was an angel, she held my hands and stayed on my side. I’m so thankful baby girl and me are both healthy, and I’m so happy she is finally arrived. But I still need more time to process. Thanks for sharing.
Esraa Hk Yes, I can relate to you 100%. I hope that you were able to find peace as you process and cope through everything. I’m finding that simply being able to talk about it and hearing from other women as yourself, is helping me to process everything.
Your tears made me cry too. It will be wrong go say that I feel your pain, but I do understand that you had waited for such a long time for your baby girl and everything was supposed to be perfect. Consider it as if God planned it differently and was probably the best for you all. I am very proud of you for having done what was ultimately right for your baby. You both made sure that she was safe in the first place and that's what that matters. This alone proves what a great parents you are going to be! Can't wait to know more about your amazing journey as it unfolds. God bless you all 🙏 ❤️
TheSakuraAvelon Thanks so much!
What a wonderful support you are both for eachother. You have your beautiful child. Your birth is how it needed to be to get her here. Be kind to yourselves. Not everything is in our control. X
I’ve been waiting for this!!! Congratulations!!! She is beautiful!!!
Marilyn Elizabeth Quinn Thanks so much!
It absolutely doesn't matter how you give birth. The main thing is the result - a healthy baby. Don't be sad. She is finally here and you get to spend every minute of your life with her. That is the greatest joy 🤗
Im so sorry your birth plan went as it did. BUT she is the cutest little baby girl! No matter how she got her, she is here!! I was so upset with my C-section too. Im so glad she is here and healthy!! Congratulations to you both!!!
FragileX DisneyMom Thank you!
You guys are so sweet!!! I just saw the ending. I am sending positive vibes and a virtual hug to y'all!
Wow congratulations what a beautiful baby girl omg hope to see her soon on a video ... wishing u the best with your baby and your husband
I totally understand your feelings! My sons birth didn't go as planned, induced on his due date for high blood pressure. Forced to make a choice between an epidural or a cesarean section, went for the epidural, which failed, twice. Very shortly after the second one failed his heart rate dropped to 50. Fushed into surgery, where I felt every single cut. I understand feeling robbed of your dream birth because I was robbed of mine. But a healthy baby and healthy momma is all that matters. Shes gorgeous!
Sammie Jo Gregorich Thank you!
She's so perfect!❤ Congratulations to you guys!
eunice chipman Thanks!
You guys are so strong❤❤ God bless you😍!
It is so hard when your birth plan doesn't go how you want it.... but know that it went how God planned it. It's all in his time and in his way for his reasons. It is okay to be sad about things not going your way, I ended up having a csection after 27 hours of labor which is not what I wanted or planned. It takes time, God will give you the strength you need to process this trial. May God continue to bless you and your beautiful girl.
Jennifer Ramirez Thanks so much!
I completely feel you
That’s what happened with me with my first child my daughter. I always envisioned having a natural labor but with my daughter for her to be safe I let them do the csection but she’s 3.5 years old she’s amazing. And I have my 18 month old he was a vbac vaginal birth after cesarían. We have very similar experiences with firsts. But don’t worry your next baby will be a way better birth I declare over your life. I totally get it I feel you. Making me 😭 thinking about how I felt when I had my daughter. But as long as you have a healthy baby that’s the best
Crystel Mckinney Rod That’s so awesome that you had a VBAC. What an encouragement!
Thank you for sharing your story, your lives, and your journey with us. I understand the difficulty that comes with the loss of a experience at the end of a long journey. Sometimes because the road is so hard and long we get through on the hopes of a particular happy ending. Then when we don't get that we are so disappointed and heart broken. I share in your joy bringing Val into this world and sharing her with us. I love your daily pictures and updates on IG. I pray the pain of your birth journey is less and less each day.
Tory Walker I truly appreciate it. Thank you.
Congratulations guys!!!!!! Valentina is actually the name I have set for a baby girl if or when I have one! Your baby is beautiful!!!!
Brenda Pimental How sweet! Thank you!
I love your relationship with each other. I found out the day before my cSection that I was having it. My Dr, whom I loved, was going on vacation, and he didn't want me going into labor on my own due to my pelvuc bones, and said, "How's tomorrow?" I cried, terrified. I was a single Mom but I had tons of support. He was 9 lbs 15.5 ounces!! it was probably a good thing you were already at the hospital with the issues you were having then needed a C-section, but I get it. I felt robbed of not feeling my baby come out. That bothered me for a long time. Then 2 weeks with the blues, crying often lol. That gets better. She's here, she's healthy, and estatic for you guys!! Does Mondo have a brother?? Lol he's so sweet!
Jan Carlson Haha! 😆 Thank you for sharing.
Oh my heart hurts with you mama. My oldest was a planned home birth, turned c-section due to distress (resulting from meconium as well) at 42w3d. Grieve how you need, feel how you need. I hope you find relief in knowing this was absolutely necessary unlike many c/s. You did your best and made whatever decisions you needed for your baby girl. I feel you, I hear you. Just remember, hope is not lost- if you have another, you can try for a VBAC! I still grieve my birth experience, and it may never go away but it does get better. Xoxo
Stacey Thibodeau Your words are so encouraging. Thank you! ❤️
@@letsmakelemonade5764 I just feel your pain in every level and unfortunately many do not understand that pain. I commend you for being so open on such a public platform!! Truly inspiring ❤
I'm so very proud of both of you. Val is beautiful. I'm sorry you had such a hard time, and not at all what you hoped for, but you were amazing. Congratulations on your daughter, she truly is a bkessing
Diane Kinney Thanks so much. I truly appreciate it!
Congratulations. It is so hard when plans have to change. I had to have a c section because of a emergency during birth. It is so hard.
OMG!! What a beautiful little girl!! I can just picture her with little frilly ruffled white socks and a fancy pink dress trying to sit quietly next to you in Church. There are so many beautiful experiences with her in the years ahead. We're in our mid 70s,and we are still having wonderful experiences with our 46 year old daughter. No matter how she got here,she's here now. Just love her up and try not to plan too much in your heads. Love to you all,Faith and Tony Falcone
anthony falcone Looking forward to all those beautiful moments with her. Thank you!
When life gives you lemons make some lemonade♡♡♡ love u guys!!!!
Courtney Zuschlag That’s right! ☺️
U couldn't have said it any better......the irony of all they've bn through lies on the channels name😘
Salina, I'm so happy and excited for the both of you. Your new family. She is beautiful. I'm also heart broken that you didn't get the experience that you wanted. It is ok to grieve that process. I truly pray that one day it with be what you want. Much love to yall. Have a wonderful day💗🤶
Wendy Pudder Me too. Thank you!
I feel like I can do relate to you guys so much. I’m 35 and have been married for 12 years we did IVF as well. We just had our perfect baby boy 11 weeks ago. It’s ok mama!the same thing happened to me with my labor. I ended up having to have a c-section after 17 hours of labor and I was tired and medicated and my birth plan wasn’t what I wanted, but he’s healthy and he’s here. Take your time with your grieving process and enjoy that beautiful baby girl. I still look at him and cry everyday and can’t believe that he is ours. Take it all in and remember to take care of you as well. I wish you guys the best! ❤️
Lindsey Alfaro Such great advice. Thank you! 🙌🏼
I’m so sorry it didn’t go how you planned. I didn’t have a c section but I completely understand. My baby girl got stuck coming out and came out with a heart rate of 80 and not breathing so I didn’t get to hold her for 45 minutes and they told me a c section is probably what I’ll have to have for any further births. It’s so hard to be so happy to have your baby but grieve the birth you wanted and imagined ❤️
pfcijs Wow, I can only imagine what you went through. Yes, you are so right. The balance of being happy that baby is here and grieving the process at the same time. But, hearing from others like you help in the process. Thank you for sharing.❤️
Congrats momma, my heart is full for you, what a great blessing. I’m sorry things didn’t go as planned but glad that both you and baby are healthy and doing well. I’m 28 weeks with my rainbow and I’m just praying for a healthy birth too.
Love you guys and congratulations on the wowonderful blessing 💜
You guys are awesome. I completely understand your grief. I felt the same way after my 28 hour labor ended in a c-section. I wanted to experience the golden hour and immediately have the baby latch and bond but I was so out of it and felt very drugged up. If it weren’t for pictures I wouldn’t remember those first few hours post c-section. That part is very sad to me but at the end of the day I’m so glad to have had a healthy baby, but it’s definitely okay to grieve the loss of a dream!
Kimberly Point I can totally understand. Thank you for sharing!
I’m sending you so much love and hugs, I had that home birth planned and at 42 weeks we were in the hospital. I know it wasn’t what you wanted but I promise you will look back and not cry, for me it was with my second daughter and she will be 14 in a few months . Val is beautiful and I really hope you’re healing well and resting when you need too x
Leanne Roberts Thank you!
Oh mama. I had an unplanned cesarean with my first and it took me some time to grieve the birth I had dreamed of. It was a well intended gesture for others to tell me “healthy baby, healthy mama” but it’s perfectly OK to be sad that the birth experience wasn’t expected. I’d encourage you to check out iCAN. It’s an international organization but has local chapters with women who have similar experiences. 💕
Kimberly G My doula told me about iCAN! Thank you for reminding me. 😃
I feel for you! I induced at 37 weeks, my blood pressure was 160. I was in labor for 36 hours before my dr said c section, happened so fast after that. Was swollen for weeks after all those drugs and couldn't enjoy it either. Emotions are totally normal, I was an emotional wreck after going home. Just talk talk talk to your husband and dr. When you're feeling down. Baby blues are real and normal.
Congratulations momma!!
Jamie Peterson Thank you!
Your baby girl is so precious. Wishing you all the best mama
Susan Sumner Thank you!
Birth is a wonderful experience no Matt what you do xxxx be proud of yourself xxx
I totally understand you, I'm sorry that happened. I had 3 vaginal Deliveries. 3 boys. I always wanted a girl, so I finally got a girl and my worst fear C-section!! She was breach!! I was devastating. I cant explain my emotions. I'll be completely honest I felt disconnected from her. Which is crazy, it's what it was. I ended up going to a therapist for 6 months and it really helped. I'm so grateful for my Daughter, but I did have to deal with having a C-section. Point is I understand. Take your time and know you are enough and you are Great!! You're her mommy and she's your Girl!! Not matter how she was delivered. Love You Guys!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰 She is So Beautiful!!!! ❣❣❣
Gina Kittrell You’re so right. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
I don't usually write, but i completely understand you! I had my pregnancy and couldn't pass 40weeks because of health reason, but my dream was to have a natural birth and ended up with a c-section. For me was really hard in every shape, way or form. But hang in there, trust in the Lord for He knows it all. Praying for you in this process. God bless!!
Ps. Valentina is beautiful ❤
Zuleika Reyes Thank you!
