the placenta was the WORST for me! after my baby, i had no feeling down there and i couldn’t feel if i was pushing it out or not. they put an oxygen mask on me to “soften” it. ironically, it hurt more than the baby. before delivering the placenta, i only had a small abrasion, but then i tore after delivering the placenta. but it’s ALL worth it. the contractions, the pushing, the pain. you get the most beautiful creation ever. God bless all mommy’s that already had their baby(ies), are pregnant or trying to get pregnant. I wish nothing but a healthy and happy baby/ family for you!!
I love how she says she says she wanted to gain under 30 pounds. I was the same until I found out I was pregnant with triplets 😂😂 it was impossible not keep gaining weight 😂
I’ve been watching for so long and to see you and Parker be together through school, then getting married, building a home together, traveling, having multiple business, and now having a baby! I can’t believe you’re a MOM and Cove is so lucky to have you as her mom 🥺💜💜💜💜
You never want to pull on the umbilical cord to remove the placenta, especially if the placenta is being stubborn and doesn't want removed you can cause a uterine inversion, also known as you turning your uterus inside out and it's a potentially fatal complication. So never tug on the umbilical cord to get the placenta out if your not a trained doctor because you may tug too hard and turn your uterus inside out.
When I was born I was a long and complicated birth which meant a lot of the younger staff wanted to watch me be born. My mum was getting uncomfortable with all the strangers watching me so my dad literally went around to every person and if they didn’t have an actual job to do with the birth he sent them out! 💕💕
Pulling the placenta out can cause hemorrhaging (bleeding) in your uterus and the doctor should never tug on the cord to get the placenta out. Can be very dangerous for mom!
I work at a daycare, and honestly your baby sounds like a dream baby. Like, she's on an easy feeding schedule, can sleep through noise, only wakes up once in the night (that says a lot about how a baby is during the day I feel like). Like I want her!! She would be so fun to work with!!
I agreed with everything she said besides the part about not paying attention or feeling what happens after birth, I felt every single stitch as it went through skin AND when they pulled them together (I had an epidural also) stitches for me was traumatizing. 1000% worse than contractions and pushing combined. Take everything someone says with a grain of salt and remember, she can only speak on her own experience!
I was up 6 hours after my little girl. She was transported to Seattle children's after I gave birth at the UW, so I was on a new mom mission to be with her.
Also u push the placenta out. Usually about 30 mins after birth they tell u to push once and the placenta comes out. I rememebr this after my son. Maybe for some people it comes out without pushing. They have to make sure all the placenta got out otherwise u can get a life threatening infection.
😂😂 girl I feel you!! I'm 38 weeks and 4 days pregnant and I already told my family and my fiance's family that they can come and sit in the waiting room for as long as they like idc buttttt once I have the baby I want at least 2 hours for just me and my fiance.
“POSTPARTUM BODY!!!” Did your body change a lot after the baby? If so how do you deal with your new body? ... My husband and I want kids but I honestly don’t want my body to change it’s taken a lot to except and love the body I have now. I’m sacred of having my baby and then getting postpartum depression 😔 I don’t want to resent my child for something so superficial but when you hate what you see in the mirror for so long and then finally after several years you come around to loving what you look like it’s a big hit to fall back into that self hate again. I don’t want that! I can’t do that to myself, but I WANT a family some day! Someone please help give me advice! ANYONE!
My newborn was an awful sleepe...he had to sleep on me 24/7 or would cry and cry...u couldnt eat or shower or clean or do anything. He akso had bad reflux and would refuse to nurse every feeding after a minute and would throw up 4 times every feeding....it was such a struggle. The newborn phase was the worst part for me..now he is almost 2 and i love this age way more! And we r still nursing! Weaning soon thougj
Very interesting video. My experience was definitely different. I did not have an epidural which is likely why. I think I blocked most of the delivery out. Pushing hurt a ton. I didn’t even feel the placenta being delivered at all. A nurse delivered my baby. The doc was late lol. I almost think the lidocaine for stitches hurt worse than pushing my baby out. I felt completely normal walking around afterwards but again, no epidural. I gave birth in an LDRP so delivery and postpartum were all in the same room. Personally labor and pushing was worse than the recovery but overall neither were awful. Being a mom is amazing! I definitely miss the newborn stage. My absolute favorite stage.
Number one reason why there are more c-sections in women today is because of overweight, an obgyn recommended a friend if she wanted to raise the chances of her having natural birth that she has to start moving and eat healthier at 5 months!(because she had already gained more weight than needed at that point)
I didn’t want anyone waiting in the lobby while I was in labor but as soon as my family found out I was in labor they all flocked to the hospital even though I asked them not to.
They pushed the placenta out of me, kinda uncomfortable because they were rough about it but they wanted to make sure everything got out. I had the epidural as well.
Aspyn! I know you are crazy busy with baby Cove but I would absolutely love for you to show us a workout routine! You're my favorite TH-camr and I think seeing you workout would HARDCORE inspire me!
I didn’t have a epidural and one thing I didn’t expect was to feel the need to push before I was dilated enough. I thought the urge to push only came when you were ready. Luckily I didn’t have to wait long. It was hard to fight of the urge to push. I think more than anything I was nervous that I’d accidentally push to soon and I’d hurt the baby. I think the most painful part though was delivering the placenta because the lady pushed on my stomach for almost an hour after because she wanted to make sure everything was out because she thought I was a red head and apparently red heads tend to bleed a lot more. So she spent forever pushing on my stomach and it hurt so bad. But I loved being able to look over and see my baby getting skin to skin from his dad. It was honestly such an amazing experience. And honestly Aspen you’re so lucky. I’m three weeks postpartum and I’m still having problems with my bladder leaking. It makes it hard to go places or walk for too long. But like you said. It’s SO worth it!
Omg my husband and I got the munchkin diaper pail too and do nottttt like it. It’s so annoying cause you have to push the dirty diaper down the hole and then manually close it! So you definitely did set it up right, it just isn’t the best 😆
If u have an epidural its not rlly accurate to say which one hurts more cuz u didnt feel the pushing. From people i know who have gone all natural the pushing is excruciating..there is something called the ring of fire when the babys head is coming out and ue vagina feels like its on fire..but then its immediate relief once baby is out. I got an epidural so i dont know how painful pushing is but contractions were painful too but from others stories i think pushing is worse
I had a scheduled c section and all of our family was there in the waiting room and got angry when we told them we wanted alone time with just us and baby not that they can come back without our permission but that did add stress
Who else cannot believe she’s finally a MOM! 🍼 🤰
i thought her shirt said “WEEK NO” and i spent the majority of the video wondering what that meant 😂

Her whole pregnancy was just the cutest sweetest thing and I can already tell she's going to be an amazing mother!
this was actually the most informative birth q+a i’ve seen!
I’ve been watching for so long and to see you and Parker be together through school, then getting married, building a home together, traveling, having multiple business, and now having a baby! I can’t believe you’re a MOM and Cove is so lucky to have you as her mom 🥺💜💜💜💜
I love how your teaching her to sleep through noise because no one usually does that. Also, I love your videos 💗
I really am amazed how well mothers endure so much pain!
You never want to pull on the umbilical cord to remove the placenta, especially if the placenta is being stubborn and doesn't want removed you can cause a uterine inversion, also known as you turning your uterus inside out and it's a potentially fatal complication.

I'm in college and watching all of these baby vlogs is giving me massive baby fever
I’ve been following you and Parker for a few years and it’s so much fun to see y’all grow together! ❤️
meal prep was absolutely the most helpful thing people did for us. We were set for the first three weeks after our son was born. It was so nice!
When I was born I was a long and complicated birth which meant a lot of the younger staff wanted to watch me be born. My mum was getting uncomfortable with all the strangers watching me so my dad literally went around to every person and if they didn’t have an actual job to do with the birth he sent them out! 💕💕
y’all are so cute, make my heart melt, love y’all🥺♥️
Pulling the placenta out can cause hemorrhaging (bleeding) in your uterus and the doctor should never tug on the cord to get the placenta out. Can be very dangerous for mom!
For me, they pressed on my stomach and the placenta came flying out 😂
I work at a daycare, and honestly your baby sounds like a dream baby. Like, she's on an easy feeding schedule, can sleep through noise, only wakes up once in the night (that says a lot about how a baby is during the day I feel like). Like I want her!! She would be so fun to work with!!

Please tell me I’m not the only one who had a mini heart attack when luma popped up at 0:33 in the corner 😂😂
I asked this question on insta but you didn’t answer in the vid, did you receive any post partum depression/anxiety?
Luma’s little head popping up at the beginning 😭😭😍😍
I was up 6 hours after my little girl. She was transported to Seattle children's after I gave birth at the UW, so I was on a new mom mission to be with her.
i love little cove!!! what an angel!! i’m glad you’re doing well💕💕💕💕y’all are the best🙌🏻🙌🏻
Who else thinks cove is the cutest baby they’ve ever seen?! 😍🙌
Aspyn and Parker make adorable humans lol!
Also u push the placenta out. Usually about 30 mins after birth they tell u to push once and the placenta comes out. I rememebr this after my son. Maybe for some people it comes out without pushing. They have to make sure all the placenta got out otherwise u can get a life threatening infection.

ah who else winced a little when she started talking about tearing😟 ouch!
Having a baby in November and i NEEED an essentials video i love how minimal you are
its so graet that you were okay with telling people off for a bit.i love your family relationship
You are such an amazing mother already and Cove is so gorgeous 💕
Omg Cove is So So So So little!! Who clicked on this video right when it came out.
“POSTPARTUM BODY!!!” Did your body change a lot after the baby? If so how do you deal with your new body?

I’ve been watching you and Parker since you first started dating!! Can’t believe how far you’ve both come😍😍

aww so glad to hear you had a wonderful pregnancy/birth experience 💕
I love watching these videos, i feel like they are good information to have for when i decide on having a little one!
I had my baby girl 5 days ago! 😊👑💖
Thank you so much for being so open and honest about your experiences.
Love to you and your beautiful family xx
I had a 8 lb 11 oz son and I gained 47 lbs, I have so many stretch marks but having my son makes me know it’s worth it
Can we please get a part 2 of this video?? also Cove is the cutest!!
You push the placenta out ☺️ I had all three of my babies natural and let me tell you that it was like pushing another baby hahaha
Number one reason why there are more c-sections in women today is because of overweight, an obgyn recommended a friend if she wanted to raise the chances of her having natural birth that she has to start moving and eat healthier at 5 months!(because she had already gained more weight than needed at that point)
Aspyn is right you only need roughly 350-450 additional calories to sustain a healthy pregnancy.
I didn’t want anyone waiting in the lobby while I was in labor but as soon as my family found out I was in labor they all flocked to the hospital even though I asked them not to.
your baby is literally the cutest!!! Love you Aspyn!!
Cove is so beyond perfect! TTC right now, wish me luck 🥰
They pushed the placenta out of me, kinda uncomfortable because they were rough about it but they wanted to make sure everything got out. I had the epidural as well.
I don’t plan on starting a family any time soon but this was so helpful and informative!💖
Lol luma just hopping on the screen 😂
Aspyn! I know you are crazy busy with baby Cove but I would absolutely love for you to show us a workout routine! You're my favorite TH-camr and I think seeing you workout would HARDCORE inspire me!
*YOU ARE SUCH A GOOD MOM! I’M SO EXCITED FOR YOU!* 💗
I felt my doctor stitching me up and I had an epidural!!
This was definitely my favourite q+a so far
SOOO happy for you guys!!
Just gave birth 2 days ago to a beautiful baby boy. My OB pushed on my belly to deliver the placenta.
I didn’t have a epidural and one thing I didn’t expect was to feel the need to push before I was dilated enough. I thought the urge to push only came when you were ready. Luckily I didn’t have to wait long. It was hard to fight of the urge to push. I think more than anything I was nervous that I’d accidentally push to soon and I’d hurt the baby. I think the most painful part though was delivering the placenta because the lady pushed on my stomach for almost an hour after because she wanted to make sure everything was out because she thought I was a red head and apparently red heads tend to bleed a lot more.

And honestly Aspen you’re so lucky. I’m three weeks postpartum and I’m still having problems with my bladder leaking. It makes it hard to go places or walk for too long. But like you said. It’s SO worth it!

When will your weekend shirt be restocked? :) I love it
I just had to ask my husband about the placenta lol. He said it just came out right after my daughter
Awww love this!!! ❤️❤️❤️ love hearing what other mamas went through!
Pregnancy or giving birth doesn’t sound amazing to me at all
she’s so cuteeeee
Thankyou for being so honest. It makes me feel better prepared to have a baby!
Omg my husband and I got the munchkin diaper pail too and do nottttt like it. It’s so annoying cause you have to push the dirty diaper down the hole and then manually close it! So you definitely did set it up right, it just isn’t the best 😆
Thanks for being so open and honest!
I know youre not like a teen young, but you’re definitely young so I think that has a lot to do with how well you bounced back.
Awwww baby cove is sooo FREAKING CUTEEEE 😍😍
❤️❤️love you! My husband and I are trying to get pregnant so I’m obsessed with all of these vids!
Thanks for your time 👍
You look amazing aspyn!!
You birth the placenta!! You either push it out, or the nurse/doctor massages it out!!
i gotta say i love how you parent 💞
Glad your doing well💜💜💜💜
Got my cervix checked today 39 week and 4 days and it was so painful. How was your experience with that?
Yah! I’ve been waiting for this video!

There are no other comments! Love your videos and Cove is adorable and your family is so cute!
I hope to watch these videos after I have a baby and compare! 💜👶🏼
Love your family aspyn!
My birth kinda look like yours, and my placenta came out on it’s own right after the baby !!
If u have an epidural its not rlly accurate to say which one hurts more cuz u didnt feel the pushing. From people i know who have gone all natural the pushing is excruciating..there is something called the ring of fire when the babys head is coming out and ue vagina feels like its on fire..but then its immediate relief once baby is out. I got an epidural so i dont know how painful pushing is but contractions were painful too but from others stories i think pushing is worse
LOVE YOU ASPYN!!
I had a scheduled c section and all of our family was there in the waiting room and got angry when we told them we wanted alone time with just us and baby not that they can come back without our permission but that did add stress
Dude, I clicked as fast as I could and the video already had 30 likes, wtf
You’re always glowing 💓 such an angel
I always look forward to your videos!!
aww your family is so cute! best wishes
Awww congratulations on your beautiful baby girl. What did u use as contraception before you started trying.
Early! Love you guys. Cove is adorable 💕
You look stunning!! ❤️
Love your videos so so much this was amazing 💕💕
In Australia they give you a needle to get the placenta to come out quickly
