Kylie, you would make an amazing ambassador for hospital reforms in Italy for all the pregnant moms out there!! Prime Minister Meloni would probably be amazing to reach out to for positive change!! 🥰 God bless you and congratulations on your precious angel!!
I was thinking the same thing! The whole world needs to reform these deficits of care for mothers. I hope you do this, Kylie.. in America, it’s the same.. a mother has her baby in her room after the delivery. And there is no assistance to help her as she is hugely vulnerable and exhausted.. I had 4 children one was an emergency C.. still the same type of recovery. Exhausted mom, baby crying.. no assistance
Congratulations Kylie! 🥲❤ I’m so relieved to see you have had a positive birth. So many of us have been praying for you; sending your whole family love.
What a relief to hear the update regarding Raffealo's birth story. I'm so glad you had a happier, much more honoring birth this time. You deserve that. What an amazing divinely guided Christmas Eve and what a beautiful Christmas gift! You never deserved to be treated so awful during the birth of Gianfranco. You're such a beautiful soul, Kylie. I've watched your videos for years. You're such a beautiful feminine inspiration to me. Thank you!
With 4,725 views why have only 1.2k viewers 'liked' the video? Kylie has worked hard to create her beautiful videos which give us so much enjoyment. Please give a thumbs up, it's costs us nothing in any way and helps her enormously. Thank you.
Well, TH-cam doesn't always post. Ok, the video just came up! And no notifications. Even her 7 days didn't show up. I had to search for that little clip. Kylie is wonderful 💖 Pam California USA.
I gave birth to my second son standing up and stamping my feet, with gravity. So empowering. He came out "like a soccer ball" and his father caught him. So happy to hear this beautiful story, especially the midwives' kindness. Bravissima indeed. Well done Kylie. Excellent. Gorgeous name Raffaello.
Kylie, I am a nurse in the US A and worked in the labor and delivery department of the hospital for 15 years of my career. I have worked in multiple hospitals since I have been a nurse for 40 years and none of them here use that ward system anymore where you would be in a room with other women. They have all had private rooms fortunately. Also, the nurses can take the baby to the nursery in most hospitals so that the mother can get some rest. It’s unfortunate that Italy does not adopt this kind of systemin their maternity awards. I can’t tell you how happy I am to hear that you had a very positive experience in the hospital this time. I watched your video about delivering John Franco and how you were treated and it just broke my heart that this special time in your life was made so difficult by your circumstances there and the treatment you received from the staff. Thank you for sharing this video. As usual, I found story so inspiring, and to see you dancing around to Latin music with your big pregnant belly just gave me so much joy and put a smile on my face!
Hi Victoria, I'm American but live in the UK. I think most of the hospitals here in Europe are the same. It's been my experience that the hospitals in the USA are so much better than here. My husband has been in a mixed ward here in the UK with women and men, 8 total in one room and the bathroom was down the hall, not even attached to the room. It was horrible. Thanks for doing the work you do.
When I gave birth here in Canada, I had a private room afterwards, and the nurses took the babies to the nursery and brought them to the mom's when it was feeding time or at certain other times if requested. The husband of course was allowed to visit/be there, as it seemed most of everyone's family. No restrictions on people. I know people who besides their husbands, also had their moms their sisters etc in delivery with them too!
@@Laura-g1c1lit’s the same in Australia The father is encouraged to spend as much time as possible with the mum and baby Grandparents and siblings also And in fact the nurses here in oz make sure the mums are being looked after as in regards to rest if the baby is unsettled they take them to the nursery or just so the mum can have some me time They even allow the parents to go out on a date and take care of the baby so that the parents have time alone without worrying about the baby! I’m shocked at how Italy treats the mothers in hospital not giving them rest and time to recouperate and for only allowing the dad and family time during visiting hours only! Sad Congratulations on the birth of Rafaello Your so blessed to have your parents with you Take advantage of that and sleep as much as u can whilst your son is with others ❤ god bless Kylie 🙏🫶
Congrats for this new chapter for you and your family 🤍 My 2 kids have suffered cow’s milk protein allergy their first 6 months giving reflux, sleepless nights and many other symptoms. I was 100% breastfeeding and the protein was coming through my milk. I stopped everything with animal milk, it took 2/3 weeks to see the effects but then they were sleeping more than 2 hours straight. It was hard for me but soooo worth it to not watch them suffer. Wishing you all the best and all my strength for this newborn phase 🙏
In France public hospital usually gave you a tiny camp bed for your partner to stay with you day and night. And some of them are starting to reopen day time visits as everything closed after Covid. I did not move from my bed both time I stayed, having my husband taking care of talking to nurse and baby care, I can not imagine what is must have been like 😢
You have got to be one of the most loving, compassionate, giving human beings I have Ever known. You are one amazing woman and I hope and know everyone in your life realizes that and appreciates you!!!!❤️
Gosh, as a woman who has had two babies, each with its own unique story I FELT for you soooo much. It is the most vulnerable time for a woman and she should be totally cared for from beginning to end. I'm just astonished at the lack of compassion in what sounds like most Italian hospitals. Thank goodness your birth was a kind and good experience , just wish the after was what it should be for ALL women. Bless you and your little one. Please take time to care for yourself. We will all be here when you are rested and ready to fully come back, okay? The hospital didn't gift you this, but you can gift it to yourself now. Much love.
P.S. I have so much empathy for a baby suffering from reflux. My second baby had it, and she practically lived in the Snugglie carrier, which held her upright on my chest and protected her from falling. Prayers for healing for Raphelo. 🙏💝
Congratulations Kylie, that’s a great name. Motherhood is hard. I would say lean into this moment, as hard as it is. Your baby will only be a newborn for a short time. You’re blessed to have such great support. Take little moments when you can but find the positive in every moment, it’s a privilege to be a mom. Family is all that matters. You’re a bright light to all!
Oh, Kylie! You are so positive...even when retelling such a challenging story. In the U.S., I had a c-section with our twin boys and they set up a bed next to me for my husband to be with me the whole time. All friends and family members were encouraged to visit if I was up to it and I was! The first night after their birth, the hospital staff served us a delicious steak dinner while the nurses cared for our babies for a short time. Each nurse imparted helpful parenting tips and advice that really got us off to a great start. The Italian birth experience doesn't sound as respectful of the mom as the experience I had. So happy all went well and you are home with your beautiful family! You are a treasure!
I am so glad that this birth was a more positive experience! It is wonderful how you trained your mind to relax despite your first birth and the aftermath You are an inspiration!
OMGoodness, his little hand. I'm so glad for you his birth was straightforward despite the drama of getting to the hospital. It's true you prepared for his birth intelligently, and what a blessing the nursing staff were so professional and understanding. Your decision to trust yourself is inspiring for all our challenging situations, so thank you! Bravo Maman & Papa, another miracle!!
Kylie I am completely overjoyed for your family. Brought tears to my eyes that you’ve had a positive experience. Bless you all and am so glad you’re back.
Congratulations to you, Kyllie and of course to all🎉 🎊 you certainly handled things well despite the lack of sleep. I can't help wondering if the reflux issue might have something to do with something in your own diet.Very often, it filters through to the breast milk!??? Let us know. There is do much love jn your family. What a tremendous blessing 🙌 🙏 👏 ❤️ from Denmark.
Kylie…so very happy that your birth experience was so much better than the first…you will have funny stories to share with him when he’s older about almost not making it to the hospital. You are such an inspiration with always being so positive. Get rest and take whatever time you need…your faithful followers will be here…much love to you all…congratulations!!
We had our first baby Christmas 1997, but it was more like your first labor. We almost lost both lives - she didn’t breath, and I was taken into surgery with a hemorrhage, but we rejoice every Christmas! Even these many years later, we celebrate Christmas in the morning, and we celebrate her birthday by blowing out the candles of her cake the minute of her birth!!! Congratulations to you!!! 🎄💙
My baby had terrible reflux but could sleep upright for longer periods in the infant car seat. We ended up sleeping with the car seat in our bed! Desperate times but it helped. So happy the birth was a positive experience this time. Thanks for sharing.
@@KylieFlavelli was just about to suggest taking him for a drive also as the motion and car seat did help mine. Also please ring helios homeopathy in london they are amazing. Can recommend remedies. Hope you see this Kylie xx
I was sitting at the edge of my seat while you were recounting the hours on the road to the hospital. The car not shifting gears, the car in front of you with the learner’s permit, the car motor than dying for a few minutes! And then your relief at the kindness of your nurses. I hope Italy does change its rules about family being able to stay overnight with the new mom and infant. Can you imagine if there were twins! Congratulations on your new son and thank you for your vivid telling.
How beautiful ❤ Congrats to both of you on your new baby boy, I love the name you choose. Gianfranco is a gem, so intuitive and considerate. Enjoy your two sons. What a beautiful family.
My heart burst with joy simply reading the title, let alone watching the content. Many warm congratulations to you and your gorgeous little family on Raffaello's safe arrival🌻 Wishing you all health, happiness, and finally some good, quality sleep. You meet obstacles with such unwavering resilience that you will persevere until the last of these three comes. Hopefully sooner rather than later😴 Thank you for sharing this wonderful (and gripping, emotional, beautiful) update with your caring online community💕
What a wonderful mother you are! So happy for you and Guido, and your family. Appreciate your honesty, and sharing your journey with us. Congratulations again!
You are raising a beautiful son, surrounded by your thoughtful, supportive family it is no wonder he is kind, thoughtful and considerate. Your new baby will have the same qualities. 🤗🤗🤗💐
That's what I wanted to say. Merry Christmas and every year from now on. Welcome to the world, little Raffaello! (I love this name, and that you met him before naming him.) I wonder what Gianfranco did when he met his brother?
Dear Kylie, congratulations on your new baby! May he have an amazing journey in this life! So lucky of him to have a mother like you, so beautiful, sensitive, strong and brave. I'm sure one day he will watch this video and be so proud of you.
Congratulations, thank you for your lovely story. Our son also had silent reflux and we struggled for 3 months until one of the pediatricians admitted that no-one had to suffer so much and prescribed Ranitidine for us, it helped from day one and it transformed our lives!!
I just googled ranitidine and see it is now banned , But there will be an alternative medicine. As a 67 year old sufferer of reflux let me tell you it is painful. You do need relief from it. I hope Kylie gets something soon for her baby.
Beautiful news of your safe delivery. Thank you for sharing the time before and after Raffaelo’s birth with us….remember, no shoulds. Happy to see you looking so lovely and healthy. ❤️ Blessings to your family.
No one can understand until they have been through it. You are an amazing mom and I know you know it will get better but my heart goes out to you. I pray this season won’t last long. Congratulations on your sweet baby.
Congratulations ! I am so happy for you that the delivery was so beautiful! Reflux, colic, and just normal newborn life……..is mothers all have gone through it. It’s all hard and beautiful and exhausting! You got this!
Kylie you are such a trooper, beautiful and so brave a true inspiration to so many. Congratulations to you and Guido. What a blessing so happy you had such a good experience this time thank you Lord ! 🙏👑🕊 ❤
What a beautiful birth story!! So happy everything went well for you this time around!! Healthy baby and Healthy mom is a true blessing!! Congrats on extending your lil family!! 😍
So happy to hear you got the healing birth you needed after being treated so badly last time! I work in birthing and really wished that for you. Well done mama!
Kylie, you are a WONDER WOMAN. Thank you for sharing and showing us your strenght. You might have no idea how much that means to a lot of us. Thank you ❤
Congratulations! Beautiful name. I’m glad that you are getting these feelings out. It’s good for you. Just know that this will pass. Prayers for you and for him to feel better soon 🙏🏼
Thank you Kylie for this beautiful story of your child’s birth on Christmas. What a blessing and thank God for getting you both safely to the hospital that provided you the care you needed. Raffello is a strong beautiful name for your second son. And Gianfranco is already proving to be a great , thoughtful big brother. Love to you all. Take all the time you need , we will be here whenever you are able to post. ❤❤❤
Kylie I know you’ll receive a million messages but I just can’t let it go. I need to say how beautiful and wonderful it is that you got the birth you, sweet baby, and the family deserved. A big congratulations!
Holy cow.. what an experience! Congratulations! I had a completely different experience.. but all good. I went home after one night because I couldn’t sleep. I didn’t have any problems so I could go. I’m sure everyone has different ideas about nursing etc… I nursed both my babies. My daughters did as well .. but one daughter had twins so she had to pump and feed, it was a real crazy time! But the pumping ahead made it so others could feed one while she nursed the other and you can make sure how much your baby is actually eating. It’s also nice for the dad to get to hold and feed his babies. And swaddling was a huge deal for calming and sleeping. Maybe you know all this already. I’m so happy for you all and thank you for sharing!💖
So wonderful to have you share your story w us ! We’ve all been so concerned and hopeful you would have a good experience. YEA! Blessings to all of you and big congratulations.
The title is so refreshing, a Positive natural birth! THANK GOODNESS!!! You are such a positive and refreshing person, which is very lovely to watch. Congratulations to you, Guido and Gian Franco, who is now a big brother. Blessings to your newborn!❤❤
And so the beautiful family of three becomes four! Congratulations to you all, both of your families and welcome Raffaello! It is so good to see you and hear your news, dear Kylie. I feel so uplifted to know all is well. I hope you can get some good sleep soon.
wow! How beautiful listening to you at 12 minutes into your video, you talk about no matter where are you, you would have that baby, you knew everything would be fine. Yes! KYLIE, thank you so much for saying that. We are in control. I just wish more people would realize we are in control. Stop giving up all your control to all these people. The words of fear they put into us, the scare they put into you. Like you said this is such a natural thing. I love how you had the confidence in yourself to feel that. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Hugs, from Pompano Beach, Florida.
Kylie! Congratulations on your Christmas miracle! So happy for you and your beautiful family. Take some well deserved time and rest. Wishing you all the best! ❤️
I've been saying prayers for you; and been waiting to hear from you!! Started crying when you were telling us about Gianfranco's concern for you. Congratulations Kylie. Sending all my thoughts and prayers! ❤❤❤❤ Now a family of four.
My eyes are welling with tears hear how kind and wonderful they were at this hospital. I could feel your complete release into peace and safety after hearing the way she expressed that nothing like that would happen to you at their hospital. Kylie, this is exactly what you deserved to experience the first time, and I promise you, the issues you had the first time around were due to their negligence and harmful behaviors and choices. Despite a very abuse and horrible first experience of having a hospital birth, you were so incredibly strong and decided that no matter what you wouldn’t let anyone impact your safety or mental peace this time around. I am so amazed by you, and you should be so incredibly proud of what you have accomplished. If this is your last child, what a beautiful note to close this chapter of your life on. Thank you for being a radiant expression of how to fully embody your power as a woman. Sending you so much love as you are dealing with restless night and the second round of countless transitions. You are weathering it with so much grace.
As far as post-birth experience, I am completely shocked that the hospital system works in that way where you are not given the family support you need during those delicate hours after birth. It is essential for new moms to have that support so that you can rest, and to have dim lights and a quiet space. You are so strong, and you should be so proud of yourself. In regards to the chance event that a women fell asleep and suffocated her baby, it likely was due to additional factors, perhaps she was also on drugs. The studies that express the dangers of cosleeping are mostly referencing parental situations that involve alcohol and drugs causing these dangers. Without those factors, and a safe sleeping environment (no soft items close to or on baby that could cover their face, it is very unlikely that you could suffocate them, because our evolutionary drive waking and sleeping will keep us from doing this at all costs. I co-slept with my daughter from the first moment, and she is strong healthy, and there wasn’t even once that I was concerned that I might be endangering her. If it feels right to you, don’t fear it.
Congratulations on another sweet little angel!!🎉 I’m in Utah, USA and my husband could spend the nights after I gave birth and I had my own room all 3 times. Only after hemorrhaging with my 2nd was I in the hospital for 3 days. Over here we’re out of the hospital in 24-48 hours usually. I hope things change in Italy to allow for that overnight help!
I’ve been watching your videos for a while and admire your strength so much. It sounds very difficult, what you are going through. I had a risky pregnancy, almost went to emergency c section during birth and horrible post partům depression. So few women have the perfect experience.
Thank you Kylie for sharing your experience. I'm so happy it was a better experience than last time. And most of all, I'm so happy you and Raffaello are healthy and well. ❤
I rejoice with you on a safe delivery! That’s an answer to prayer, praise God! What a sweet little man Giancarlo is, so sensitive at such a young age. I will certainly pray for Raffaello to feel better quickly and that you can get some sleep. Love to you and Guido, Giancarlo, the proud grandparents and Auntie, too! Blessings and peace on you and your home.
Hi Kylie... Congratulations to you and your family and thank you for a lovely video. I am a midwife in a private hospital in Adelaide, Australia, and the partners here stay every night with a pull out bed and are fed all meals as well. As a midwife, I mostly love having them present to help out and enjoy the first few days of their baby's life. We also offer antenatally classes for dads only, which we find is very helpful for them.
Congratulations for your sweet healthy baby. Thank God for your better than first experience. Kylie 23 years ago i was born my son. He is my first child and wehave experienced this issue with reflexes. Hard times, i was alone in a foreign country Germany and i didn't speak german at all. My baby suffered and after few months we have found that he had intolerance in every kind of milk. You can imagine the struggles. Big difference for your diet that is good for the baby as well is sauerkraut, or anything like this. I hope little Raffaello and Gianfranco have a beautiful healthy and happy life. ❤
That must have been so hard for you. Thank you for sharing this. I did ask our paediatrician if it could be an intolerance but she seems to think it’s not. Thank you for watching. 😊
Congratulations to Mom and Dad and brother, and the whole family. Bless your new baby boy 🎉🎉😘🥰💖🙏 soo happy everything is going great, many blessings to you Kylie and your wonderful baby boy. All the best to you all ❣️🙏💖🥰😘
What a relief!!! Congrats to you and the family. I am so happy to see you and hear that you had such a positive experience this time. Amen. Welcome sweet baby. I sure was praying.
Beautiful Kylie! How precious your new son is. You are such a good Mama! God bless you all. I was following your first birth journey, and I am so happy this time around. All was so much better for you guys! ❤
Hi Kylie, i remember my first time as a mum and was very blessed to have a friend who was a midwife and into natural births. I ended up in hospital but she cared for me and my son for 2 weeks after in her home and it was heavenly to get that support from a strong woman who respected motherhood and gave me time to bond with my baby and take all the outside pressures off me. We mums need every bit of support we can find. Sadly its not allways available but i see how blessed my son and I were. God bless you too dear Kylie and i pray you will have all the loving support you need at this special time. Much love to you, Sally xx❤
Congratulations 🎉... You did so superbly well! A note: Gentle Craniosacral works extremely well on newborns. My second child was refluxy... It truly helped enormously. Huge blessings Kylie for an easier time ahead with this dear boy. Xxx❤🎉❤
Oh, Kylie! My heart totally goes out to you! I'm from the USA & at least during our hospital postpartum days, the nurses will help keep your newborn in the nursery at long intervals to help you catch up with sleep! I didn't know that Italy didn't assist like that! And if you can't have any family with you to help you, that's quite a huge negligence because it takes everything you have to go thru your labor & delivery and then your cup is bone dry for at least a couple of days! You have used😮 all your stores up physically and mentally by then and you have to be cared for yourself for a while before you can give good care to your baby! And then to have your baby and so much pain after feeding and then before you know it you have to feed him again, that is just what happened with me and my first born decades ago! It's so demoralizing & discouraging to be in constant demand & your baby not be soothed by your best & most loving efforts! I am an old lady now, but I still recall how desperate I would feel from sheer exhaustion being in such constant demand that I couldn't even think straight & then I felt like such a bad mother for not being able to soothe my baby! We can only go so long without sleep before we start feeling crazy & desperate! God bless you & soothe your little newborn's system so things move & work exactly as they should! Don't give up! 🙏🙋♀️🫂🌠
@@KylieFlavell❤ I had one child almost 44 years ago (in America) and she started sleeping through the night (mostly) at less than a month old. She had no problems and within a couple months slept 12 hours a night and took 2-3 3 hour naps a day. For 3-4 years! I was so lucky I know. Anyone could have been in the hospital with me. But no one was round the clock. I had no parents or family help. They were all far away. I had the choice of not having the baby in the room with me while I was in the hospital 6 days because of a cracked tailbone at birth. The choice was normal at that time and I didn’t know then what I know about the importance of bonding immediately with the mother. I couldn’t get out of bed with her in my arms for maybe 9-10 days. I was treated like a queen during delivery I know it’s because I knew the delivery nurse. It was a great hospital stay. I hear all of that has changed since then. The baby stays with the mother from birth. I also wonder if maybe one of the reasons people can’t be there with you 24 hours is because you were in the room with others. There was only one other in my room. Now most people I know have private rooms. I would have preferred that. Glad you’re ok and every day should get better til you get to the stage you are with your first born. 🩷😊
Your video touches me in so many ways, from beginning to end. This is such perfect timing for me. I’m watching this as we wait for the call that our youngest daughter is going into labor with her first child literally any hour in the next few days. I’m remembering my own three birthing experiences and those first days, weeks, and months with each child as I anticipate how my husband and I (now retired) can help our daughter and son-in-law in the best way in the early days. We can possibly stay in their house as they need us or stay nearby in an Airbnb and go back and forth as needed for a few days now and then. Thankful we’re only a few hours away and can go to assist now and then, letting them become a family - hopefully helping, not interfering. Hearing you relate your experiences with your two children’s births and infant stages reminds me how different my three were and that my daughter’s experience will be very different as well. Wishing you and your family all the best in this early transition time. It’s different for each of us but you have prepared well and your family will thrive.
I am so happy to know you and the baby are okay and that everything went so smoothly. There isn’t anything we can say to soothe all the sleep deprivation and the frustration you may be feeling, however, we can thank you for taking time to post on top of all the new craziness. Hopefully this phase passes super quickly so that Raffaelo can be happy and comfortable and you guys can regain all the energy back. Sending your family a big hug ❤️
Hi Kylie, You’re such a natural raconteur who’s so relatable. Love all your videos especially this one! I’m in my late 50s and all I could think about as you were talking was how I could help my own daughters when they ever decide on motherhood. I want to be there in whatever capacity, because I understand what it feels like. You took me straight to memories of my own pregnancies and how different they were. My first bubba with terrible reflux (Dr advice back then was that babies grow out of it) but the nights were exhausting. The second bubba was a dream child. I distinctly remember though, my strongest need to get home while I was in hospital. I just wanted familiarity, my bed, the sounds and smells of my own home -it made the second experience a lot better for me (and the confidence that medically everything was ok for us to head home.) Stay strong, and may you have an abundance of love and support. You have a lovely family who love you very much and a community of people who genuinely care about you. 💐💐💐💐💐
I love his name! You could easily write a book on childbirth! There is definitely so much room for improvement in the area of helping women before, during and after childbirth! Sending love and prayers for Rest!
Thanks for sharing this journey! God has been looking after you because my heart was palpitating listening to your story , the choices you have made to stay 2 hours from the chosen hospital , and knowing you were high risk. You obviously wanted the best for everyone! Bless all of you . Congratulations! 🥰✨🇨🇦
Hi again, just wanted to say how my heart goes out to you as i recall my son had colic too and i endured many weeks of broken sleep. I honestly thought i was the worste mother and a big failure. I ended up having to take time to rest while my baby was cared for by others. It was awful to separate from him but i knew i was not coping well. It was hard to be away from him but i had to rest and recover. Seeing him again after 2 weeks rest was wonderful. I never told him about that as i allways felt guilty that i wasnt coping. Hearing your story has helped me to recall the exhaustion and i can forgive myself. Bless you for your honesty and i know other mums will find your story helpful and reassuring. Good for you Kylie! ❤ xx
How lovely to see your video. You’re such a wonderful storyteller and I think doing so well. Your second birth experience was what I had hoped and prayed, but a little more adventurous than I imagined. Blessings to you all. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I had tears in my eyes many times over, listening to your beautiful story, Kylie. Congratulations on your safe and positive delivery & precious experiences. I couldn’t help but think of my own quick 3 labours, of only 1-2 hours each time!! I’m glad I didn’t have the same long drive!! I was in a private hospital & own room, so a very positive experience post birth despite colic, & where my husband could stay. I’m sure every woman reading this is now reminiscing on their experiences, as you’re such a wonderful, storyteller and mum. Every baby is different and a wonderful gift in our lives. I’m so happy for you all! Raphaello is a lucky boy to have you as his family!
Who was waiting for this video?! 🙋🏽♀️❤ incredible story 🫶🏽
❤❤❤❤
All of Us 💕
So TRUE ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was praying for you Kylie!! So thankful the hospital staff was kind !! Your baby looks precious!
Get some gripe water sent over from Australia that's ehat they use here it works wonders.
Kylie, you would make an amazing ambassador for hospital reforms in Italy for all the pregnant moms out there!! Prime Minister Meloni would probably be amazing to reach out to for positive change!! 🥰 God bless you and congratulations on your precious angel!!
Definitely!
I was thinking same thing!
I was thinking the same thing! The whole world needs to reform these deficits of care for mothers. I hope you do this, Kylie.. in America, it’s the same.. a mother has her baby in her room after the delivery. And there is no assistance to help her as she is hugely vulnerable and exhausted.. I had 4 children one was an emergency C.. still the same type of recovery. Exhausted mom, baby crying.. no assistance
Exactly 💯
I am working on exactly a project to give women their power back in birthing!
Congratulations Kylie! 🥲❤ I’m so relieved to see you have had a positive birth. So many of us have been praying for you; sending your whole family love.
I’ve felt your prayers and kind wishes!! Thank you so much! 😊😊😊
So happy for you Mija. You deserve all the blessings from the lord
I was praying too 🙏
It is incredible that you even made this video when you could have taken a nap. I pray that your baby may be healed.
It wasn’t easy. I was nursing Raffaello at different points throughout the video. 🤪
What a relief to hear the update regarding Raffealo's birth story. I'm so glad you had a happier, much more honoring birth this time. You deserve that. What an amazing divinely guided Christmas Eve and what a beautiful Christmas gift! You never deserved to be treated so awful during the birth of Gianfranco. You're such a beautiful soul, Kylie. I've watched your videos for years. You're such a beautiful feminine inspiration to me. Thank you!
So kind!!! Thank you!!!! 🙏🏼
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! What a gift to have this sweet baby!!!
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Such a gift!
With 4,725 views why have only 1.2k viewers 'liked' the video? Kylie has worked hard to create her beautiful videos which give us so much enjoyment. Please give a thumbs up, it's costs us nothing in any way and helps her enormously. Thank you.
I think many forget to do thumbs up. ❤❤
How lovely you are to write this! 😊
Jenniferkuperman: thanks for the reminder, I’m guessing like me many people just jumped to hear Kylie’s story and forgot!
Well, TH-cam doesn't always post. Ok, the video just came up! And no notifications. Even her 7 days didn't show up. I had to search for that little clip. Kylie is wonderful 💖 Pam California USA.
I agree
I gave birth to my second son standing up and stamping my feet, with gravity. So empowering. He came out "like a soccer ball" and his father caught him.
So happy to hear this beautiful story, especially the midwives' kindness. Bravissima indeed. Well done Kylie. Excellent.
Gorgeous name Raffaello.
Fantastic! After two births not on my back, I’m now such an advocate for these types of positions. Makes so much sense. 😊
Kylie, I am a nurse in the US A and worked in the labor and delivery department of the hospital for 15 years of my career. I have worked in multiple hospitals since I have been a nurse for 40 years and none of them here use that ward system anymore where you would be in a room with other women. They have all had private rooms fortunately. Also, the nurses can take the baby to the nursery in most hospitals so that the mother can get some rest. It’s unfortunate that Italy does not adopt this kind of systemin their maternity awards.
I can’t tell you how happy I am to hear that you had a very positive experience in the hospital this time. I watched your video about delivering John Franco and how you were treated and it just broke my heart that this special time in your life was made so difficult by your circumstances there and the treatment you received from the staff. Thank you for sharing this video. As usual, I found story so inspiring, and to see you dancing around to Latin music with your big pregnant belly just gave me so much joy and put a smile on my face!
Hi Victoria, I'm American but live in the UK. I think most of the hospitals here in Europe are the same. It's been my experience that the hospitals in the USA are so much better than here. My husband has been in a mixed ward here in the UK with women and men, 8 total in one room and the bathroom was down the hall, not even attached to the room. It was horrible. Thanks for doing the work you do.
When I gave birth here in Canada, I had a private room afterwards, and the nurses took the babies to the nursery and brought them to the mom's when it was feeding time or at certain other times if requested. The husband of course was allowed to visit/be there, as it seemed most of everyone's family. No restrictions on people. I know people who besides their husbands, also had their moms their sisters etc in delivery with them too!
Thank you for your support, Victoria! It’s very interesting to hear your perspective. 😘😘😘😘
Love your videos and very glad you had an easier birth this time! Take care and enjoy your sweet baby❤️💕
@@Laura-g1c1lit’s the same in Australia
The father is encouraged to spend as much time as possible with the mum and baby
Grandparents and siblings also
And in fact the nurses here in oz make sure the mums are being looked after as in regards to rest if the baby is unsettled they take them to the nursery or just so the mum can have some me time
They even allow the parents to go out on a date and take care of the baby so that the parents have time alone without worrying about the baby!
I’m shocked at how Italy treats the mothers in hospital not giving them rest and time to recouperate and for only allowing the dad and family time during visiting hours only!
Sad
Congratulations on the birth of Rafaello
Your so blessed to have your parents with you
Take advantage of that and sleep as much as u can whilst your son is with others ❤ god bless Kylie 🙏🫶
Congrats for this new chapter for you and your family 🤍 My 2 kids have suffered cow’s milk protein allergy their first 6 months giving reflux, sleepless nights and many other symptoms. I was 100% breastfeeding and the protein was coming through my milk. I stopped everything with animal milk, it took 2/3 weeks to see the effects but then they were sleeping more than 2 hours straight. It was hard for me but soooo worth it to not watch them suffer. Wishing you all the best and all my strength for this newborn phase 🙏
In France public hospital usually gave you a tiny camp bed for your partner to stay with you day and night. And some of them are starting to reopen day time visits as everything closed after Covid. I did not move from my bed both time I stayed, having my husband taking care of talking to nurse and baby care, I can not imagine what is must have been like 😢
You have got to be one of the most loving, compassionate, giving human beings I have Ever known. You are one amazing woman and I hope and know everyone in your life realizes that and appreciates you!!!!❤️
What a heartwarming comment! Thank you!!
Ah, Kylie…thanks for sharing your birth story with us all. So honored to witness. 🥰
Thank you so much!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Gosh, as a woman who has had two babies, each with its own unique story I FELT for you soooo much. It is the most vulnerable time for a woman and she should be totally cared for from beginning to end. I'm just astonished at the lack of compassion in what sounds like most Italian hospitals. Thank goodness your birth was a kind and good experience , just wish the after was what it should be for ALL women. Bless you and your little one. Please take time to care for yourself. We will all be here when you are rested and ready to fully come back, okay? The hospital didn't gift you this, but you can gift it to yourself now. Much love.
You’re so compassionate. Thank you.
P.S. I have so much empathy for a baby suffering from reflux. My second baby had it, and she practically lived in the Snugglie carrier, which held her upright on my chest and protected her from falling. Prayers for healing for Raphelo. 🙏💝
Congratulations Kylie, that’s a great name. Motherhood is hard. I would say lean into this moment, as hard as it is. Your baby will only be a newborn for a short time. You’re blessed to have such great support. Take little moments when you can but find the positive in every moment, it’s a privilege to be a mom. Family is all that matters. You’re a bright light to all!
Thank you. Great advice. 🙏🏼♥️
Oh, Kylie! You are so positive...even when retelling such a challenging story. In the U.S., I had a c-section with our twin boys and they set up a bed next to me for my husband to be with me the whole time. All friends and family members were encouraged to visit if I was up to it and I was! The first night after their birth, the hospital staff served us a delicious steak dinner while the nurses cared for our babies for a short time. Each nurse imparted helpful parenting tips and advice that really got us off to a great start.
The Italian birth experience doesn't sound as respectful of the mom as the experience I had. So happy all went well and you are home with your beautiful family! You are a treasure!
Exactly like our experience.
Oh wow, that sounds like such a dream! 😍
I am so glad that this birth was a more positive experience! It is wonderful how you trained your mind to relax despite your first birth and the aftermath You are an inspiration!
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
OMGoodness, his little hand. I'm so glad for you his birth was straightforward despite the drama of getting to the hospital. It's true you prepared for his birth intelligently, and what a blessing the nursing staff were so professional and understanding. Your decision to trust yourself is inspiring for all our challenging situations, so thank you! Bravo Maman & Papa, another miracle!!
😊😊😊😊 Thank you so much, Jennifer!
Kylie I am completely overjoyed for your family. Brought tears to my eyes that you’ve had a positive experience. Bless you all and am so glad you’re back.
So sweet of you. Thank you!
Congratulations to you, Kyllie and of course to all🎉 🎊 you certainly handled things well despite the lack of sleep.
I can't help wondering if the reflux issue might have something to do with something in your own diet.Very often, it filters through to the breast milk!???
Let us know. There is do much love jn your family. What a tremendous blessing 🙌 🙏 👏 ❤️ from Denmark.
Kylie…so very happy that your birth experience was so much better than the first…you will have funny stories to share with him when he’s older about almost not making it to the hospital. You are such an inspiration with always being so positive. Get rest and take whatever time you need…your faithful followers will be here…much love to you all…congratulations!!
So happy this was the beautiful experience you should have had the first time. There was a guardian angel with you all.
We had our first baby Christmas 1997, but it was more like your first labor. We almost lost both lives - she didn’t breath, and I was taken into surgery with a hemorrhage, but we rejoice every Christmas! Even these many years later, we celebrate Christmas in the morning, and we celebrate her birthday by blowing out the candles of her cake the minute of her birth!!! Congratulations to you!!! 🎄💙
Kylie you're such a beautiful soul! Congratulations to you and Guido. God bless you and your sweet family!❤❤❤
My baby had terrible reflux but could sleep upright for longer periods in the infant car seat. We ended up sleeping with the car seat in our bed! Desperate times but it helped. So happy the birth was a positive experience this time. Thanks for sharing.
Oooh yes! We have tried that too with the car seat in the bed and sometimes it does work! 😂 Thank you for watching!
@@KylieFlavelli was just about to suggest taking him for a drive also as the motion and car seat did help mine. Also please ring helios homeopathy in london they are amazing. Can recommend remedies. Hope you see this Kylie xx
I was sitting at the edge of my seat while you were recounting the hours on the road to the hospital. The car not shifting gears, the car in front of you with the learner’s permit, the car motor than dying for a few minutes! And then your relief at the kindness of your nurses.
I hope Italy does change its rules about family being able to stay overnight with the new mom and infant. Can you imagine if there were twins!
Congratulations on your new son and thank you for your vivid telling.
God is so very good to give us these precious little ones. I pray he will begin to feel better as he grows. Wonderful birth story.
I am in awe. All the best to you, Raffaelo, Guido and Gianfranco. Family is everything.
How beautiful ❤ Congrats to both of you on your new baby boy, I love the name you choose. Gianfranco is a gem, so intuitive and considerate. Enjoy your two sons. What a beautiful family.
My heart burst with joy simply reading the title, let alone watching the content.
Many warm congratulations to you and your gorgeous little family on Raffaello's safe arrival🌻
Wishing you all health, happiness, and finally some good, quality sleep. You meet obstacles with such unwavering resilience that you will persevere until the last of these three comes. Hopefully sooner rather than later😴
Thank you for sharing this wonderful (and gripping, emotional, beautiful) update with your caring online community💕
How kind you are! Thank you!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
What a wonderful mother you are! So happy for you and Guido, and your family. Appreciate your honesty, and sharing your journey with us. Congratulations again!
Thank you! 😊🥰
Love spending time with you. So happy your baby boy is here. As your family grows so does your love.
Your obvious relief from this experience compared to your last brought tears..
😘😘😘
You are raising a beautiful son, surrounded by your thoughtful, supportive family it is no wonder he is kind, thoughtful and considerate. Your new baby will have the same qualities. 🤗🤗🤗💐
So kind! Thank you.
Definitely a Christmas miracle for your family.🍼💙
That's what I wanted to say. Merry Christmas and every year from now on. Welcome to the world, little Raffaello! (I love this name, and that you met him before naming him.) I wonder what Gianfranco did when he met his brother?
Congratulations on your new sweet baby boy! Trust you are regaining your strength and things are returning to normal at home.❤
Dear Kylie, congratulations on your new baby! May he have an amazing journey in this life! So lucky of him to have a mother like you, so beautiful, sensitive, strong and brave. I'm sure one day he will watch this video and be so proud of you.
Oh, so happy for you. What a wonderful Christmas gift! And, Raffaello is a beautiful name! Congratulations! Happy days ahead for all of you!
Sweet baby! Congratulations to you all. So glad you did so well.
Congratulations, thank you for your lovely story. Our son also had silent reflux and we struggled for 3 months until one of the pediatricians admitted that no-one had to suffer so much and prescribed Ranitidine for us, it helped from day one and it transformed our lives!!
Oh thanks - I’ll definitely look into that. 😊
I just googled ranitidine and see it is now banned , But there will be an alternative medicine. As a 67 year old sufferer of reflux let me tell you it is painful. You do need relief from it. I hope Kylie gets something soon for her baby.
Beautiful news of your safe delivery. Thank you for sharing the time before and after Raffaelo’s birth with us….remember, no shoulds. Happy to see you looking so lovely and healthy. ❤️ Blessings to your family.
Enjoy your beautiful baby … bringing a new life into this world is a true miracle. Being positive is always a plus point…👍❤️🌺
So happy this was the beautiful experience you should have had the first time. There was a guardian angel with you all. I love your name choice.
No one can understand until they have been through it. You are an amazing mom and I know you know it will get better but my heart goes out to you. I pray this season won’t last long. Congratulations on your sweet baby.
Congratulations ! I am so happy for you that the delivery was so beautiful! Reflux, colic, and just normal newborn life……..is mothers all have gone through it. It’s all hard and beautiful and exhausting! You got this!
Kylie you are such a trooper, beautiful and so brave a true inspiration to so many. Congratulations to you and Guido. What a blessing so happy you had such a good experience this time thank you Lord !
🙏👑🕊 ❤
What a beautiful birth story!! So happy everything went well for you this time around!! Healthy baby and Healthy mom is a true blessing!! Congrats on extending your lil family!! 😍
OMG what a journey ! Congratulations to you and your newborn, Gianfranco is now a big brother !!!
So happy to hear you got the healing birth you needed after being treated so badly last time! I work in birthing and really wished that for you. Well done mama!
Kylie, you are a WONDER WOMAN. Thank you for sharing and showing us your strenght. You might have no idea how much that means to a lot of us. Thank you ❤
Congratulations! Beautiful name. I’m glad that you are getting these feelings out. It’s good for you. Just know that this will pass. Prayers for you and for him to feel better soon 🙏🏼
So happy you and the baby are ok this time. You look amazing. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. God bless you all.
Thank you Kylie for this beautiful story of your child’s birth on Christmas. What a blessing and thank God for getting you both safely to the hospital that provided you the care you needed.
Raffello is a strong beautiful name for your second son. And Gianfranco is already proving to be a great , thoughtful big brother.
Love to you all. Take all the time you need , we will be here whenever you are able to post. ❤❤❤
Kylie I know you’ll receive a million messages but I just can’t let it go. I need to say how beautiful and wonderful it is that you got the birth you, sweet baby, and the family deserved. A big congratulations!
Thank you so much!!
Holy cow.. what an experience! Congratulations! I had a completely different experience.. but all good. I went home after one night because I couldn’t sleep. I didn’t have any problems so I could go. I’m sure everyone has different ideas about nursing etc… I nursed both my babies. My daughters did as well .. but one daughter had twins so she had to pump and feed, it was a real crazy time! But the pumping ahead made it so others could feed one while she nursed the other and you can make sure how much your baby is actually eating. It’s also nice for the dad to get to hold and feed his babies. And swaddling was a huge deal for calming and sleeping. Maybe you know all this already. I’m so happy for you all and thank you for sharing!💖
So wonderful to have you share your story w us ! We’ve all been so concerned and hopeful you would have a good experience. YEA! Blessings to all of you and big congratulations.
I’m so lucky to have a community of people like you. 😊
The title is so refreshing, a Positive natural birth! THANK GOODNESS!!! You are such a positive and refreshing person, which is very lovely to watch.
Congratulations to you, Guido and Gian Franco, who is now a big brother. Blessings to your newborn!❤❤
Oh goodness, I was praying this time would be more positive. Congratulations to you both. Sweet family! 💗
Congratulations to you all. You will do this, you are very strong, sensitive and kind, thinking of everyone and still looking amazing ❤❤
“Cruel endurance test” is exactly right ❤️❤️❤️. Congratulations! Wishing you peace.
Leave it to Kylie to be absolutely glowingly beautiful while in labor. Thank you as always for sharing your life with us. Congratulations sweetheart.
And so the beautiful family of three becomes four! Congratulations to you all, both of your families and welcome Raffaello! It is so good to see you and hear your news, dear Kylie. I feel so uplifted to know all is well. I hope you can get some good sleep soon.
With my second child my water broke. 12 hours later I was induced but the birth was quick and natural and wonderful. Congratulations!
wow! How beautiful listening to you at 12 minutes into your video, you talk about no matter where are you, you would have that baby, you knew everything would be fine. Yes! KYLIE, thank you so much for saying that. We are in control. I just wish more people would realize we are in control. Stop giving up all your control to all these people. The words of fear they put into us, the scare they put into you. Like you said this is such a natural thing. I love how you had the confidence in yourself to feel that.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hugs, from Pompano Beach, Florida.
Thank you, Susan!!! 🥰
Kylie! Congratulations on your Christmas miracle! So happy for you and your beautiful family. Take some well deserved time and rest. Wishing you all the best! ❤️
Oh Kylie I'm so glad I'm full of gratitude for this good experience for you.
I've been saying prayers for you; and been waiting to hear from you!!
Started crying when you were telling us about Gianfranco's concern for you.
Congratulations Kylie.
Sending all my thoughts and prayers! ❤❤❤❤
Now a family of four.
Thank God that He took good care of you! God bless you all!
My eyes are welling with tears hear how kind and wonderful they were at this hospital. I could feel your complete release into peace and safety after hearing the way she expressed that nothing like that would happen to you at their hospital. Kylie, this is exactly what you deserved to experience the first time, and I promise you, the issues you had the first time around were due to their negligence and harmful behaviors and choices. Despite a very abuse and horrible first experience of having a hospital birth, you were so incredibly strong and decided that no matter what you wouldn’t let anyone impact your safety or mental peace this time around. I am so amazed by you, and you should be so incredibly proud of what you have accomplished. If this is your last child, what a beautiful note to close this chapter of your life on. Thank you for being a radiant expression of how to fully embody your power as a woman. Sending you so much love as you are dealing with restless night and the second round of countless transitions. You are weathering it with so much grace.
As far as post-birth experience, I am completely shocked that the hospital system works in that way where you are not given the family support you need during those delicate hours after birth. It is essential for new moms to have that support so that you can rest, and to have dim lights and a quiet space. You are so strong, and you should be so proud of yourself. In regards to the chance event that a women fell asleep and suffocated her baby, it likely was due to additional factors, perhaps she was also on drugs. The studies that express the dangers of cosleeping are mostly referencing parental situations that involve alcohol and drugs causing these dangers. Without those factors, and a safe sleeping environment (no soft items close to or on baby that could cover their face, it is very unlikely that you could suffocate them, because our evolutionary drive waking and sleeping will keep us from doing this at all costs. I co-slept with my daughter from the first moment, and she is strong healthy, and there wasn’t even once that I was concerned that I might be endangering her. If it feels right to you, don’t fear it.
Your family comes first! We will all be here waiting for your next video. God Bless you and your beautiful family ❤
Congratulations on another sweet little angel!!🎉
I’m in Utah, USA and my husband could spend the nights after I gave birth and I had my own room all 3 times. Only after hemorrhaging with my 2nd was I in the hospital for 3 days. Over here we’re out of the hospital in 24-48 hours usually. I hope things change in Italy to allow for that overnight help!
I’ve been watching your videos for a while and admire your strength so much. It sounds very difficult, what you are going through. I had a risky pregnancy, almost went to emergency c section during birth and horrible post partům depression. So few women have the perfect experience.
Thank you Kylie for sharing your experience. I'm so happy it was a better experience than last time. And most of all, I'm so happy you and Raffaello are healthy and well. ❤
Congrats to you both! Oh how exciting! Blessing to all of you.
I rejoice with you on a safe delivery! That’s an answer to prayer, praise God! What a sweet little man Giancarlo is, so sensitive at such a young age. I will certainly pray for Raffaello to feel better quickly and that you can get some sleep. Love to you and Guido, Giancarlo, the proud grandparents and Auntie, too! Blessings and peace on you and your home.
Hi Kylie... Congratulations to you and your family and thank you for a lovely video. I am a midwife in a private hospital in Adelaide, Australia, and the partners here stay every night with a pull out bed and are fed all meals as well. As a midwife, I mostly love having them present to help out and enjoy the first few days of their baby's life. We also offer antenatally classes for dads only, which we find is very helpful for them.
Congratulations for your sweet healthy baby. Thank God for your better than first experience. Kylie 23 years ago i was born my son. He is my first child and wehave experienced this issue with reflexes. Hard times, i was alone in a foreign country Germany and i didn't speak german at all. My baby suffered and after few months we have found that he had intolerance in every kind of milk. You can imagine the struggles. Big difference for your diet that is good for the baby as well is sauerkraut, or anything like this. I hope little Raffaello and Gianfranco have a beautiful healthy and happy life. ❤
That must have been so hard for you. Thank you for sharing this. I did ask our paediatrician if it could be an intolerance but she seems to think it’s not. Thank you for watching. 😊
Congratulations to Mom and Dad and brother, and the whole family. Bless your new baby boy 🎉🎉😘🥰💖🙏 soo happy everything is going great, many blessings to you Kylie and your wonderful baby boy. All the best to you all ❣️🙏💖🥰😘
Congratulations to you both to the new addition to your family with a beautiful baby boy! So lovely to hear your story and that everyone is healthy!
You and Guido make the most beautiful babies! I’m so glad you had a much better hospital stay!
What a relief!!! Congrats to you and the family. I am so happy to see you and hear that you had such a positive experience this time. Amen. Welcome sweet baby. I sure was praying.
Congratulations to you all!!! Beautiful story, thanks for sharing!! Glad you have the support of a loving family!!
Enjoyed from Texas! Praise God for taking great care of your family 🙏✝️ Praying for complete healing for your sweet baby 🙏
Congratulations! So happy to hear that your second birth was a much more positive story! Sending you and your family all the love!
Beautiful Kylie! How precious your new son is. You are such a good Mama! God bless you all.
I was following your first birth journey, and I am so happy this time around. All was so much better for you guys! ❤
Hi Kylie, i remember my first time as a mum and was very blessed to have a friend who was a midwife and into natural births. I ended up in hospital but she cared for me and my son for 2 weeks after in her home and it was heavenly to get that support from a strong woman who respected motherhood and gave me time to bond with my baby and take all the outside pressures off me. We mums need every bit of support we can find. Sadly its not allways available but i see how blessed my son and I were. God bless you too dear Kylie and i pray you will have all the loving support you need at this special time. Much love to you, Sally xx❤
Congratulations 🎉... You did so superbly well! A note: Gentle Craniosacral works extremely well on newborns. My second child was refluxy... It truly helped enormously. Huge blessings Kylie for an easier time ahead with this dear boy. Xxx❤🎉❤
Good to know! I will look into this. Thank you!!!
Congratulations. Happy to see you back refreshed, healthy, happy and beautiful.
Oh, Kylie! My heart totally goes out to you! I'm from the USA & at least during our hospital postpartum days, the nurses will help keep your newborn in the nursery at long intervals to help you catch up with sleep! I didn't know that Italy didn't assist like that! And if you can't have any family with you to help you, that's quite a huge negligence because it takes everything you have to go thru your labor & delivery and then your cup is bone dry for at least a couple of days! You have used😮 all your stores up physically and mentally by then and you have to be cared for yourself for a while before you can give good care to your baby!
And then to have your baby and so much pain after feeding and then before you know it you have to feed him again, that is just what happened with me and my first born decades ago! It's so demoralizing & discouraging to be in constant demand & your baby not be soothed by your best & most loving efforts!
I am an old lady now, but I still recall how desperate I would feel from sheer exhaustion being in such constant demand that I couldn't even think straight & then I felt like such a bad mother for not being able to soothe my baby! We can only go so long without sleep before we start feeling crazy & desperate! God bless you & soothe your little newborn's system so things move & work exactly as they should! Don't give up! 🙏🙋♀️🫂🌠
Congratulations kylie and family! Wishing your babe a life of goodness and people who treat him with kindness. Blessings.
Welcome back! We missed you too! Can’t wait to hear your story.
So kind! Thank you! ❤
@@KylieFlavell❤ I had one child almost 44 years ago (in America) and she started sleeping through the night (mostly) at less than a month old. She had no problems and within a couple months slept 12 hours a night and took 2-3 3 hour naps a day. For 3-4 years! I was so lucky I know. Anyone could have been in the hospital with me. But no one was round the clock. I had no parents or family help. They were all far away. I had the choice of not having the baby in the room with me while I was in the hospital 6 days because of a cracked tailbone at birth. The choice was normal at that time and I didn’t know then what I know about the importance of bonding immediately with the mother. I couldn’t get out of bed with her in my arms for maybe 9-10 days. I was treated like a queen during delivery I know it’s because I knew the delivery nurse. It was a great hospital stay. I hear all of that has changed since then. The baby stays with the mother from birth. I also wonder if maybe one of the reasons people can’t be there with you 24 hours is because you were in the room with others. There was only one other in my room. Now most people I know have private rooms. I would have preferred that. Glad you’re ok and every day should get better til you get to the stage you are with your first born. 🩷😊
Your video touches me in so many ways, from beginning to end. This is such perfect timing for me. I’m watching this as we wait for the call that our youngest daughter is going into labor with her first child literally any hour in the next few days. I’m remembering my own three birthing experiences and those first days, weeks, and months with each child as I anticipate how my husband and I (now retired) can help our daughter and son-in-law in the best way in the early days. We can possibly stay in their house as they need us or stay nearby in an Airbnb and go back and forth as needed for a few days now and then. Thankful we’re only a few hours away and can go to assist now and then, letting them become a family - hopefully helping, not interfering. Hearing you relate your experiences with your two children’s births and infant stages reminds me how different my three were and that my daughter’s experience will be very different as well.
Wishing you and your family all the best in this early transition time. It’s different for each of us but you have prepared well and your family will thrive.
BIG Congratulations to you both, welcoming a healthy child into our world ❤👏👏
I am so happy to know you and the baby are okay and that everything went so smoothly. There isn’t anything we can say to soothe all the sleep deprivation and the frustration you may be feeling, however, we can thank you for taking time to post on top of all the new craziness. Hopefully this phase passes super quickly so that Raffaelo can be happy and comfortable and you guys can regain all the energy back. Sending your family a big hug ❤️
Hi Kylie, You’re such a natural raconteur who’s so relatable. Love all your videos especially this one! I’m in my late 50s and all I could think about as you were talking was how I could help my own daughters when they ever decide on motherhood. I want to be there in whatever capacity, because I understand what it feels like. You took me straight to memories of my own pregnancies and how different they were. My first bubba with terrible reflux (Dr advice back then was that babies grow out of it) but the nights were exhausting. The second bubba was a dream child. I distinctly remember though, my strongest need to get home while I was in hospital. I just wanted familiarity, my bed, the sounds and smells of my own home -it made the second experience a lot better for me (and the confidence that medically everything was ok for us to head home.)
Stay strong, and may you have an abundance of love and support. You have a lovely family who love you very much and a community of people who genuinely care about you. 💐💐💐💐💐
I love his name! You could easily write a book on childbirth! There is definitely so much room for improvement in the area of helping women before, during and after childbirth! Sending love and prayers for Rest!
Thanks for sharing this journey! God has been looking after you because my heart was palpitating listening to your story , the choices you have made to stay 2 hours from the chosen hospital , and knowing you were high risk. You obviously wanted the best for everyone! Bless all of you . Congratulations! 🥰✨🇨🇦
Hi again, just wanted to say how my heart goes out to you as i recall my son had colic too and i endured many weeks of broken sleep. I honestly thought i was the worste mother and a big failure. I ended up having to take time to rest while my baby was cared for by others. It was awful to separate from him but i knew i was not coping well. It was hard to be away from him but i had to rest and recover. Seeing him again after 2 weeks rest was wonderful. I never told him about that as i allways felt guilty that i wasnt coping. Hearing your story has helped me to recall the exhaustion and i can forgive myself. Bless you for your honesty and i know other mums will find your story helpful and reassuring. Good for you Kylie! ❤ xx
How lovely to see your video. You’re such a wonderful storyteller and I think doing so well. Your second birth experience was what I had hoped and prayed, but a little more adventurous than I imagined. Blessings to you all. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I had tears in my eyes many times over, listening to your beautiful story, Kylie. Congratulations on your safe and positive delivery & precious experiences. I couldn’t help but think of my own quick 3 labours, of only 1-2 hours each time!! I’m glad I didn’t have the same long drive!! I was in a private hospital & own room, so a very positive experience post birth despite colic, & where my husband could stay. I’m sure every woman reading this is now reminiscing on their experiences, as you’re such a wonderful, storyteller and mum. Every baby is different and a wonderful gift in our lives. I’m so happy for you all! Raphaello is a lucky boy to have you as his family!
Congratulations on the arrival of your new baby boy, so happy for you both and happy it was a positive experience for you this time,
