Girl, if it smells way worse then normal postpartum. Watch out for a uterus infection! Sometimes that's the only indication, not even a fever. I've had it after my son, and it's really dangerous. Keep an eye out, congrats on your baby girl!!
With my last 2 pregnancies, I had the bad smell in the last half of the pregnancies but it went away after birth. Still don't know what the deal was with that.
EragonEldestLover you probably had BV (bacterial vaginosis) which is extremely common during pregnancy. I’ve had it (a couple times) throughout all 3 of mine. Usually during the end of the 2nd trimester & during the 3rd trimester.
Change in hormones can also cause strong smells. She might not have ment it smelled bad, but just, stronger scent than she is used to. As ur hormones change and adjust, it can cause a change in discharge and smell.
Ashley Warner change in hormones, like in or after pregnancy, is the #1 cause for the pH to get out of whack. In turn, causing BV, a lot of the time. It’s extremely common, to the point a lot of women ignore it, or think nothing of it & don’t do anything.
You had me crying. I experienced similar thing with my 3 month old son Andrew. My son and I were in the hospital 3 days. I did not sleep nor did I eat during that time. I had no family around to help. My husband could not help much due to his demanding job. I felt so alone. I prayed and cried and prayed some more. However that was 22 years ago. My son Andrew is now serving in our great U.S. military. He will not be home for Christmas again this year. He was deployed overseas last Christmas. He's deployed again. Miss my little boy. Hang in there and enjoy your little ones. It goes by to fast, then they are grown and gone.
huge thanks to the doctor and nurses, to their time, effort, tireless and skillful hands, and thanks to the midwife for giving good and timely advice to turn to professionals
What a trial! But so happy that you guys are home now and things are smoothing out. So great that you were able to vlog a bit and share. We’re all here to support each other!
My wife and I live in Alagoas - Brazil, we are waiting for our first baby, and really like your videos, family and faith. May God continue to answer your prayers.
I agree with other commenters, if your lochia smells worse than usual you should see your midwife and get checked out. I had trailing membranes and mine smelled yucky too - mine resolved itself without the need for intervention but you have to keep an eye on it. I was also in a lot of pain down there - horrible pressure that got worse and worse over a few days until I passed the retained tissue in a big clot, and then it was all better. Fun times right? Next time I want to get a belly band. I felt so wobbly and gross, a good snug girdle would've been soooooo nice.
I’m not commenting to bring negativity, hate, or shame to homebirths. I just want to bring awareness. A homebirthed newborn, having an issue like baby Elizabeth is 8times more common than a baby born in a hospital, or with the help of a midwife that doesn’t have a medical (RN or CNM) background. It happens in over 60% of homebirths. A lot of people don’t know, because not a lot of babies are born at home, or the parents don’t share that “scary” info. It’s extremely important to have all the airways cleared out as close to 100% as possible. The smallest amount of mucus left can cause infection, high fever, irritability, even pneumonia and/or sids/death. I worked in Labor & Delivery (at a hospital), as a (RN) nurse, for 11yrs. I have my masters as a CNM (certified nurse midwife) and have done homebirths. But in the past 5yrs, I’ve strictly stayed in a hospital. Where an OB/MD are right there, if needed, in a second.
Don't see how this is supportive or beneficial. For Sarah (especially since she already delivered at home) or for any other mom planning on having a home birth.
Alex Little sorry you see it that way. I also never said it was supportive. I said it was to bring awareness. If anyone is planning a homebirth, they need to know this. They also should be going with a CNM, or at least a midwife with a nursing background. Bringing humans into the world isn’t as simple as just pushing them out. There is a lot that needs to be done right when they’re separated from the mom. A lot isn’t depicted (from videos) or executed (in real life) correctly & why over 60% of homebirthed babies end up in the hospital within 10days after delivery.
Jenna Frazier women have done it for thousands of years. I definitely disagree with your statistics as well. Women don’t usually choose having a home birth just from watching a TH-cam video. Anyway, no use arguing. I am very happy with my choice to birth at home. Let’s just do a better job in supporting our moms!
First you have no idea how many mothers and babies died during childbirth thousands of years before...second, a delivery in water is another risk factor for infections for the baby, how can you mantein aseptic that water? I am a doctor and those are important topics in pediatrics, an apology for my english, it's not my firts language.
The thing that drew me to your channel was how you put your faith out in your videos so naturally like it's truly your lifestyle and foundation - it's very clear that it's the most important thing to you and your family and so cool to see. Bc it's not very common on TH-cam unfortunately. Your faith and how you bring up Scripture and just God in seemingly ordinary things is such an inspiration. Much love 💙
What was at work was science and medicine and the hospital full of medical professionals. I wish people donated time and money and love to their local clinics as they do their local churches. Glad Little Ellie is safe!
I wish more people could let others praise and have their own beliefs without the snobby criticism. Nobody is telling you not to donate your time, money, and love to clinics.
🙄 All I had to read was 6 words before I thought 'no please God stop them' and I don't even believe in God. You're not reaching anyone with your words on a video like this.
valarya 😂 damn tight. God doesn’t sicken or heal people. It’s simply random. People who say otherwise and say “God saved them.” Or other sayings are just trying to find meaning in a random situation. He doesn’t make people sick on purpose and doesn’t heal. He gave us the tools to take care of ourselves because He didn’t mess up with creation and made awesome human bodies and awesome things in nature for us to find to take care of ourselves. It’s like that whole story about the man stuck on the roof in the flood and he refuses a raft, a boat, and a helicopter because he says “God will save me” but then he drowns. He asks God why He didn’t save him and God says “well I sent you a raft, a boat, and a helicopter”! I mean Christians have no issues with the fact we have to ask for forgiveness and for salvation from Jesus and we don’t just get it automatically
@@mckaelaautumn Also what does it mean when hundreds of children die from cancer every day? Guess god hates them. The logic is so ridiculous. I get that some people put their faith in organized religion because it gives them a sense of purpose and community - and that's all well and good. If it makes their lives easier, then hell yeah to that. But to say God healed your child is so incredibly rude when you think of all the children who couldn't be healed. It's like a giant slap in the face to anyone who has lost a child to sickness.
I'm so sorry you had to go through this scare. It's great to see someone that prefers the most natural and holistic care but you still know when medical intervention is necessary and you acted quickly. She's absolutely beautiful as are all of your babies. Love and positive energy to you and your family. 💚
I don't follow you on other accounts so I'm just now learning of this. When my son was 3 weeks old he went into the hospital with bacterial meningitis. I was told that if we had brought him in 24 hours later he would not have survived. I know the tears, fears, and especially all the prayers. I was told that he could be blind, deaf, retarded, physically handicapped, if he lived. He was hospitalized for 2 weeks. I didn't get to see much of my then 5 year old daughter during that time. This boy suffered no damage. As a matter of fact, he began recognizing words at 2 years old and read fluently before he ever started kindergarten. That was God's way of showing me that he was not going to have any learning disabilities. He is now 34 years old.
Christian here as well, but can we get a little thanks for everything that the doctors did to save your baby? Lol. It’s funny how when patients get better they “Thank God”, but when they don’t, the doctor gets blamed. Yes. God made all the cures/medicine we have today in nature for us to find/figure out and He guided all the people who made the discoveries that have led to the incredible advancements we have made in medicine. But He led you to the doctors that could heal your kid and they have worked pretty damn hard to be able to be in that place.
Ági Fekete it’s not the point of the video, obviously, but it was something I felt “called” to point out. My SO has worked his ass off to be accepted to medical school so he can go help people. I’m working my ass off to do research and get to vet school so that I can make more discoveries and create new treatments and save animals. Our patients aren’t going to be surviving and thriving because of good will, but because we’re using the tools God gave us to save and treat his creatures.
Lauren J yeah, I know nurses do most of the work. I’m a vet tech. I know it’s an intense job. I’m just using doctor to reference medicine in general. These people worked hard to be there and to use the tools God’s left on earth so they could heal people. God also made all the bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that make us sick.
Kelly C I didn’t watch the video to find something wrong and I stopped watching as soon as this annoyed me. You could say I felt “called” to comment... it’s just annoying when people can’t appreciate medicine and science and that it always has to be this stupid war between them and religion. God made the pathogens that kill us and other creatures and He gave us the tools to stop it. It’s a beautiful thing and should be appreciated. It should be appreciated He made these terrible, complex diseases and He hid understanding and medicine all over the place like Easter eggs, for us to figure out and use because He doesn’t heal magically. Those sorts of miracles stopped a long time ago.
I'm so glad to hear baby Ellie is doing better! I'm also glad to hear your hip pain went away, gives me hope because I'm having horrible hip pain and I'm always praying it goes away after I have my baby!
I can only imagine how tough it must've been at the hospital and during that time. They are sooo fragile as babies and as a mother my heart aches for you. You seem like such a wonderful mom and your way of processing feelings and showing emotions make me so happy at heart. I hope you are all feeling fantastic now. Lots of love from Sweden ❤
Nothing harder than having your baby in the hospital! A mama never knows her strength until she has too. My son had heart surgery at 2.5 months (sort of emergency we had planned for around four months so earlier than expected ) and crying became my second language too. It’s totally normal. Glad she’s better and you’re better too!!
Baby chiropractor damaged my baby's neck. I think he was either too rough or it just wasn't a good idea for her. She barely slept that day and now has neck pain and tons of issues that they thought she had before but she didn't. Its very upsetting and sad. I think infants shouldn't get chiropractic care until several months later, not so soon as 1 month.
I know this was a challenging thing to go through. As a new Mom myself, I am just so blessed to see how well you handled this whole thing. I have an enormous amount of respect how you handled yourself. Trusting in the Lord, and having peace throughout the trial. That is the most important thing. Following peace! Praise the Lord, He is so faithful! Thank you for sharing.
So happy to see you and Ellie looking so good after all that happened. Looks like all of our prayers were answered and we look forward to seeing you and the kiddos as you move on through motherhood with three small children in tow. The beauty videos are great, but I really am curious how 3 little ones will change your normal routines. I was one of those many years ago that went through the blues. I believe it was a physiological chemical thing that I inherited from my mom, who indeed inherited it from my Granma. It is a real thing and no matter how long I thought it out, I was still miserable. Most of all I was tired, probably because I was older having my first child, and 40 when I had my last child. I am amazed at how uplifted you are and can't help wondering how much your videos today would have helped me many years ago. I hope your uplifting words are getting through to a young mother today that has fallen into that very dark and lonely pit (like I did) and make it so much better. It will sure make those days much more meaningful and enjoyable to get through. Take care of yourself and love to you, your wonderful and supportive husband and your precious children. Merry Christmas and much love into 2019. XOXOXO
Aww Sarah I’m so happy to see her doing so well! I tested up soo much watching this.. my son got really bad RSV when he was a few months old and having a baby in the pediatric ER is so hard. All the tubs and machines hooked up to them are so hard to see. But he is doing great and has been a strong little guy! God was with us every step of the way and I know he was there for you too! He is so good! I hope you guys have an amazing Christmas and enjoy all the newborn time you can while she’s still so little! 😊❤️ From my family to yours!
I legit LOVE the amount of support you show for other moms out there. I personally am not going to have children until later in my life from a mixture of wanting to mature both physically and mentally, and when I am pregnant I definitely coming back to all your videos to help me. I've been following you since before you got pregnant with your son and honestly how non-judgmental you are is so refreshing. You're here living your best life and I hope you feel fulfilled in every way 🙌❤
Oh dear! It’s amazing how you must’ve kept yourself together through those trying times. But it shows what a woman of strength and inner beauty you are. Thank God everything went about well. You are very inspiring indeed! Love, Esha. ♥️
Wow!!! So glad Ellie is ok. 🙏🏻 What a relief!! I must say you look so unbelievably fantastic. I can’t believe you have had 3 babies. And the fact you just had your precious daughter 2 weeks ago!! She is beautiful Sarah. I think Ellie looks a lot like her beautiful Mama. A dark haired babe. Love you and your family!! 😊💖
My oldest was born with bilirubin watching this made me remember how hard it was going back to the hospital to put her under the uv machine this made me cry , I'm so happy your baby is doing much better sending hugs your way and wishing you and your family a merry Christmas 😘
@@shaybatty3785 Let's see ....what kind of waste is injected into the bloodstream of a newborn? Polysorbate 80, formaldehyde, DNA from aborted fetuses, aluminum, aluminum and more aluminum. Wow wonder why my daughter was completely fine til that Hep b shot went through her . Humm. Failure to thrive is also a side effect of those "you got to have this vaccine bolognese. " Happy day to you and yours. Big PHARMA is getting a little greedy dont ya think? 54% of American children have an autoimmune disease. 💛🧡❤💜💚💙 educated before you vaccinate. Or better yet dont vaccinate at all. Watch the HIGHWIRE with Del Bigtree and Forest Mareadys My Incredible opinion.
Newborns don’t get vaccinated, at 1-2 months old yes but no younger than that. My older sister was born a month and a half premature and had to use the billilight. Don’t put down mothers for doing the best they can with the circumstances they are given.
Hi Sarah, I’m so glad your baby is doing well, God is so good and faithful. As for the postpartum update, as a doctor I strongly advise you to go get it checked out. I strongly advise you to not take baths , it’s not healthy you should rely on showers, also keeping everything dry down there and going fragrance free.
You might not even see my comment but I’m so sorry for all the negativity you are getting for this!:( What happened to your baby isn’t your fault and isn’t because you decided to have a home birth. Hospitals have so many germs and infection there who knows it could’ve been worse. But if you did go to the hospital the risk of interventions are so high it’s crazy. So ignore all those comments and know that you did everything right! God did heal your baby, he was there with you in the hospital working through every single doctor that was coming in and out of your room. Thank God for those doctors and thank God for healing your baby, comforting you and making your story into such a powerful testimony. Much love❤️
Thank you for sharing this, eventhough this has been a while. I just found you and I know that she's a big girl now. It's nice to see how you handled this and thank you for sharing God's message to you.
Hi, Sarah! I am from Brazil. I started watching your vlogs this year. I'm so glad for you and your baby Elizabeth. Thank you so much for shared this amazing journey! ❤️
Seeing your strength through all of that is really encouraging! I am so happy you guys are through it. Though the sorrow may last through the night the joy comes in with the morning. Have a fantastic Christmas guys!
I’m over here crying. I understand where you’re coming from. My son had a seizure three months after he was born. I was a wreck. Thankfully I had the support of my family but it was still hard
So thankful that y'all made it through those troubles! I absolutely love how open and honest you are about your pregnancies because it helps me prepare and think ahead for my future family. Also, your support and love for all mamas out there is so inspiring and empowering! You are the only person I legit comment on because I just love all of your videos and they are so informative, love you and your family and wish y'all the best!
Please please be careful with lavender on or near lady parts! I'm 100% about natural essential oils and lavender in general, but it can alter your pH badly! All the love and blessings though, not trying to be negative at all.
Such a good outcome! I was so worried and sad for you. You are so much stronger than you know! She is so precious. Looks just like you. I was happy that we got the tiniest sneak peek at Kieran's shorn locks.:) You look beautiful and healthy and are such a wonderful young momma. Bless you, Merry Christmas and as always thank you for sharing your wonderful family with us. You inspire!
My family is saying prayers for you and yours!!! I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!! God Bless!! We too know know how it feels to have your newborn rushed to hospital. My son was 45 minutes old and TAKEN TO CHILDREN'S MERCY HOSPITAL by ambulance. He was in the hospital for a month. The Lord blessed us and kept him safe in the Doctors and Nurses hands. He is now 13!!! And a typical teenager!!! The Lord is great!!!
Omg, I CAN’T with all these COMMENTS!!! 🤦🏼♀️ “Thank the doctor’s, they healed you! Don’t use oil! Have your baby in the hospital!” EVERYONE is an expert and so UNGRACIOUS, JUDGY, and RUDE. Girl, keep living your life and doing YOU! Shaming and blaming is so passé. Especially from all these other women. It’s 2019....#overit! God bless your precious family!
You are such an amazing mama. It's so scary when our babies aren't well & I'm sorry y'all have had to go through suck a trial. So thankful Eli is safe! Continued prayers for her health & wellness & for your peace of mind, strength & just a breath of relaxation. God bless you, & your family. Merry Christmas. Xo -The Mikoski Family
What a story. I can so relate to what happened. I feel like you told my story exactly what happened you to happened to me but with the exception of my lil Leo had no symptoms except his oxygen levels were down and the only reason I went to emerge was because my midwife said he looked yellow and I said I should take him in. But fortunately nothing was wrong with Leo and 4 days later we got to go Home. I have a new appreciation for the nurses at the hospital. the love and support you get shows that god is watching out. It was the worst and amazing experience for me. (If that makes sense) I’m glad your baby is okay. Very happy for you guys. God is good.
My son and I were in the hospital for 1 month after he was born bcuz of the doctor messing up my labor & delivary. He had issues for a longgggg time. He's now 3 and still not completely better. So I understand the feeling it brings to watch ur child suffer. I'm so glad she is ok! Thank God for his healing! God's bless u all! Ur amazing with ur faith, good for u and ur strong values and supportive, Godly family.
You are such an encouragement and I’m so happy I stumbled across your channel. Being post partum for the first time ever has been so hard and I’m glad I’m not alone. Baby Ellie is so precious and she was just so much on my heart and in my prayers and I’m so relieved she is home and healthy. God bless you and your family and Merry Christmas!
What a beautiful testimony you can share thank u for sharing you are a daughter of the most high king! Your baby and your whole family is in His arms! I prayed for you Sarah. I am so happy she is ok. You sweet mama ❤️❤️❤️ I cried watching this
You don’t hear Ellie as short for Elizabeth, I would know because that’s what I go by. So glad to hear she is doing okay and lots of prayers for life to be at peace for a while. 💕
I was crying. Oh my this is so scary when something happens to a baby! Praise the Lord you have acted out soon enough. So good to hear that you both are well and home!
*For those of you who DO get postpartum depression (I had it twice), try taking sam-e.* I had good luck with the Nature's Trove brand in the foil packets. It also works for regular depression. For me, it made a really big difference between feeling like there was no end in sight, to feeling like I could get through it. I HIGHLY recommend trying it.
God is definitely good so glad she’s happy and healthy again I sympathize with you so much my son was in and out of hospitals the first year of his life with kidney issues and his first trip I was told he was almost septic and could of lost him had I not been so quick at getting him there god is a major comfort when we worry about our babies she’s such a cutie
Amazing what the Lord did for your angel . Amazing video thank you for being such a strong and wonderful witness for Abba. Praying for a speedy post partum healing. gby
I just found your channel and I’m not looking to be a mom anytime soon, but you’re channel it’s simply amazing. You’re soo sweet and down to earth andI feel so happy watching your videos. You’re really an amazing person
Just started watching your channel and I am in love!!! I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints but your faith and relationship with God is so inspiring to be a better member of my church. I need to get back to reading scriptures and being more grateful towards God for the things which I have in my life, so thank you so much for reminding me 😊❤️
OMG, tough times... So glad it's over now! Sarah, may your Christmas be filled with the true miracles and meaning of this beautiful time. Best wishes for Happy Holidays and a magnificent New Year
Bless you and Ellie and your family, so glad you are home and feeling better! I am a labor and delivery nurse and your home birth was absolutely amazing, one of the most beautiful and loving birth of babe i have seen in a long time!👣
Thanks for sharing this Sarah! Did any doctors checked up Ellie first and then told you that she was not in a life threatening situation and let you wait for 45 mins? That’s too long for someone who has a really serious problem or in a life threatening situation! I’ve always heard of people waiting hours in emergency room which makes me feel insecure and anxious! If anyone works at emergency room or know the details of that, please share! Thank you! Love people and love the world!
I am sooooooo grateful Ellie is okay! I am so happy for all of you! I am loving the baby videos so much they just melt me into a puddle of warm goo! LOL looking forward to the other things you have planned as well! Love you & your channel so very much!
So happy to hear that y'all are doing better!! Look into a program called Every Mother. I don't know if y'all have it in Canada, but it's a program that was started here in the U.S. by a mother and trainer and it helps heal diastasis recti. I've been doing it for a while now and it has seriously helped!!
Im not a mamma Sarah but I was so worried about Ellie. I prayed for her, she's just a little baby. Now I'm watching this video whilst crying, because I feel you. I know she's OK now but it must have been so hard at the time. Im still praying though. Xoxo from Argentina 🇦🇷
Soooo happy to hear you and baby are happy and healthy!!! Love your videos!! Cant wait for declutter and especially minimalism!!! Also would love to hear more about ethical shopping
Oh my.....how unbelievably scary!!! I know this video is an older video but praise God that Ellie made a great recovery! How wonderful though that you guys had so much support!💕
I gave birth to my 3rd on 7thDec. So I hear you girl! 1. Love to hear your baby is now cured! (And ofc. all your pray blessd doctors) -that was stress story,I cryed... 2. Very brave to give birth at home, in my country we can not ( there is no doula, no midwife at home...) 3. Smell-mine is worst than two times before too... 4. Blod... to me it is worst than it was before, and my son ripped me as he was going out 5. Belly- mine is MUCH bigger! Love yours, grateful for mine! ;-) 6. Brestfead - same here! Go mama! Love your vids, I follow only Y.T. so it is all new info to me. Wishing you the best! God bless....
I love how you talk about God so much and how you are a strong believer. I feel like most TH-camrs don't express their beliefs as much as they could. You are awesome!!
Admittedly I am not religious but I do believe in the power of positivity and sending good thoughts and energies. I had a similar situation with my son and it is so scary so shed all the tears you need to moms it is absolutely okay whether happy or sad tears. Sometimes we need that to release the fears. I am so happy for you that all turned out well for you and your beautiful family.
So glad you're all healthy and back together! Did I miss what was actually causing the symptoms or did you decide not to mention it? Could be interisting out of an entirely medical perspective, but if it is to private for you I totally respect that! Much love!
I balled my eyes out when u said the Dr said they would've lost Ellie. So happy that everything turned out the way it has and she is home for Christmas. Take care. Wish you and your family a Merry Christmas!

Girl, if it smells way worse then normal postpartum. Watch out for a uterus infection! Sometimes that's the only indication, not even a fever. I've had it after my son, and it's really dangerous. Keep an eye out, congrats on your baby girl!!
Came here to say exactly this! Keep an eye on that Sarah
With my last 2 pregnancies, I had the bad smell in the last half of the pregnancies but it went away after birth. Still don't know what the deal was with that.
EragonEldestLover you probably had BV (bacterial vaginosis) which is extremely common during pregnancy. I’ve had it (a couple times) throughout all 3 of mine. Usually during the end of the 2nd trimester & during the 3rd trimester.

You had me crying. I experienced similar thing with my 3 month old son Andrew. My son and I were in the hospital 3 days. I did not sleep nor did I eat during that time. I had no family around to help. My husband could not help much due to his demanding job. I felt so alone. I prayed and cried and prayed some more. However that was 22 years ago. My son Andrew is now serving in our great U.S. military. He will not be home for Christmas again this year. He was deployed overseas last Christmas. He's deployed again. Miss my little boy. Hang in there and enjoy your little ones. It goes by to fast, then they are grown and gone.
huge thanks to the doctor and nurses, to their time, effort, tireless and skillful hands, and thanks to the midwife for giving good and timely advice to turn to professionals
What a trial! But so happy that you guys are home now and things are smoothing out. So great that you were able to vlog a bit and share. We’re all here to support each other!
So glad she is better!
i guess it's kinda off topic but do anyone know a good place to stream newly released tv shows online ?
@Harlem Maddux Lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it by googling :)
My wife and I live in Alagoas - Brazil, we are waiting for our first baby, and really like your videos, family and faith. May God continue to answer your prayers.
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Praise the highly trained medical staff who studied for endless hours in their field to save your child! 🙌🙌🙌
yes!
True! But You missed the point that God was at work, and he was the one that brought peace, comfort, guidance, and saving to little Ellie.
Praise the Lord who created their dedicated minds! Praise Him from whom all blessings flow!

I agree with other commenters, if your lochia smells worse than usual you should see your midwife and get checked out. I had trailing membranes and mine smelled yucky too - mine resolved itself without the need for intervention but you have to keep an eye on it. I was also in a lot of pain down there - horrible pressure that got worse and worse over a few days until I passed the retained tissue in a big clot, and then it was all better. Fun times right? Next time I want to get a belly band. I felt so wobbly and gross, a good snug girdle would've been soooooo nice.
I’m not commenting to bring negativity, hate, or shame to homebirths. I just want to bring awareness. A homebirthed newborn, having an issue like baby Elizabeth is 8times more common than a baby born in a hospital, or with the help of a midwife that doesn’t have a medical (RN or CNM) background.

I worked in Labor & Delivery (at a hospital), as a (RN) nurse, for 11yrs.
I have my masters as a CNM (certified nurse midwife) and have done homebirths. But in the past 5yrs, I’ve strictly stayed in a hospital. Where an OB/MD are right there, if needed, in a second.
My thoughts exactly... I'm definitely not a CNM, but I'm finishing up my undergrad in nutrition to go the Certified Midwife route
Don't see how this is supportive or beneficial. For Sarah (especially since she already delivered at home) or for any other mom planning on having a home birth.
Alex Little sorry you see it that way. I also never said it was supportive. I said it was to bring awareness. If anyone is planning a homebirth, they need to know this. They also should be going with a CNM, or at least a midwife with a nursing background. Bringing humans into the world isn’t as simple as just pushing them out. There is a lot that needs to be done right when they’re separated from the mom. A lot isn’t depicted (from videos) or executed (in real life) correctly & why over 60% of homebirthed babies end up in the hospital within 10days after delivery.
Jenna Frazier women have done it for thousands of years. I definitely disagree with your statistics as well. Women don’t usually choose having a home birth just from watching a TH-cam video. Anyway, no use arguing. I am very happy with my choice to birth at home. Let’s just do a better job in supporting our moms!
First you have no idea how many mothers and babies died during childbirth thousands of years before...second, a delivery in water is another risk factor for infections for the baby, how can you mantein aseptic that water? I am a doctor and those are important topics in pediatrics, an apology for my english, it's not my firts language.
The thing that drew me to your channel was how you put your faith out in your videos so naturally like it's truly your lifestyle and foundation - it's very clear that it's the most important thing to you and your family and so cool to see. Bc it's not very common on TH-cam unfortunately. Your faith and how you bring up Scripture and just God in seemingly ordinary things is such an inspiration. Much love 💙
Whenever a baby, child or adult is having breathing problems, you need to go to the hospital ASAP.
What was at work was science and medicine and the hospital full of medical professionals. I wish people donated time and money and love to their local clinics as they do their local churches. Glad Little Ellie is safe!
I wish more people could let others praise and have their own beliefs without the snobby criticism. Nobody is telling you not to donate your time, money, and love to clinics.
🙄 All I had to read was 6 words before I thought 'no please God stop them' and I don't even believe in God. You're not reaching anyone with your words on a video like this.
Jesus heals...
valarya 😂 damn tight. God doesn’t sicken or heal people. It’s simply random. People who say otherwise and say “God saved them.” Or other sayings are just trying to find meaning in a random situation. He doesn’t make people sick on purpose and doesn’t heal. He gave us the tools to take care of ourselves because He didn’t mess up with creation and made awesome human bodies and awesome things in nature for us to find to take care of ourselves. It’s like that whole story about the man stuck on the roof in the flood and he refuses a raft, a boat, and a helicopter because he says “God will save me” but then he drowns. He asks God why He didn’t save him and God says “well I sent you a raft, a boat, and a helicopter”!
I mean Christians have no issues with the fact we have to ask for forgiveness and for salvation from Jesus and we don’t just get it automatically
@@mckaelaautumn Also what does it mean when hundreds of children die from cancer every day? Guess god hates them. The logic is so ridiculous. I get that some people put their faith in organized religion because it gives them a sense of purpose and community - and that's all well and good. If it makes their lives easier, then hell yeah to that. But to say God healed your child is so incredibly rude when you think of all the children who couldn't be healed. It's like a giant slap in the face to anyone who has lost a child to sickness.
I'm so sorry you had to go through this scare. It's great to see someone that prefers the most natural and holistic care but you still know when medical intervention is necessary and you acted quickly. She's absolutely beautiful as are all of your babies. Love and positive energy to you and your family. 💚
I don't follow you on other accounts so I'm just now learning of this. When my son was 3 weeks old he went into the hospital with bacterial meningitis. I was told that if we had brought him in 24 hours later he would not have survived. I know the tears, fears, and especially all the prayers. I was told that he could be blind, deaf, retarded, physically handicapped, if he lived. He was hospitalized for 2 weeks. I didn't get to see much of my then 5 year old daughter during that time. This boy suffered no damage. As a matter of fact, he began recognizing words at 2 years old and read fluently before he ever started kindergarten. That was God's way of showing me that he was not going to have any learning disabilities. He is now 34 years old.
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Bless the Lord, that's amazing and I'm glad your family's doing well
I just found out I was pregnant with my first child last week and I bawled throughout this entire video. Your family is beautiful
Christian here as well, but can we get a little thanks for everything that the doctors did to save your baby? Lol. It’s funny how when patients get better they “Thank God”, but when they don’t, the doctor gets blamed. Yes. God made all the cures/medicine we have today in nature for us to find/figure out and He guided all the people who made the discoveries that have led to the incredible advancements we have made in medicine. But He led you to the doctors that could heal your kid and they have worked pretty damn hard to be able to be in that place.
is this really the point here for you…?
You didnt have to take your time and find something wrong in this video.
Jesus heals, and in everything give thanks to God!
Ági Fekete it’s not the point of the video, obviously, but it was something I felt “called” to point out. My SO has worked his ass off to be accepted to medical school so he can go help people. I’m working my ass off to do research and get to vet school so that I can make more discoveries and create new treatments and save animals. Our patients aren’t going to be surviving and thriving because of good will, but because we’re using the tools God gave us to save and treat his creatures.
Lauren J yeah, I know nurses do most of the work. I’m a vet tech. I know it’s an intense job. I’m just using doctor to reference medicine in general. These people worked hard to be there and to use the tools God’s left on earth so they could heal people. God also made all the bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that make us sick.
Kelly C I didn’t watch the video to find something wrong and I stopped watching as soon as this annoyed me. You could say I felt “called” to comment... it’s just annoying when people can’t appreciate medicine and science and that it always has to be this stupid war between them and religion. God made the pathogens that kill us and other creatures and He gave us the tools to stop it. It’s a beautiful thing and should be appreciated. It should be appreciated He made these terrible, complex diseases and He hid understanding and medicine all over the place like Easter eggs, for us to figure out and use because He doesn’t heal magically. Those sorts of miracles stopped a long time ago.
I'm so glad to hear baby Ellie is doing better! I'm also glad to hear your hip pain went away, gives me hope because I'm having horrible hip pain and I'm always praying it goes away after I have my baby!
I'm so glad Ellie was ok, what a testimony. Thank you for sharing what you went through.
I can only imagine how tough it must've been at the hospital and during that time. They are sooo fragile as babies and as a mother my heart aches for you. You seem like such a wonderful mom and your way of processing feelings and showing emotions make me so happy at heart. I hope you are all feeling fantastic now. Lots of love from Sweden ❤
So glad to hear that Ellie is doing well! Keeping you both in my prayers that she stays that way.
Nothing harder than having your baby in the hospital! A mama never knows her strength until she has too. My son had heart surgery at 2.5 months (sort of emergency we had planned for around four months so earlier than expected ) and crying became my second language too. It’s totally normal. Glad she’s better and you’re better too!!
Baby chiropractor damaged my baby's neck. I think he was either too rough or it just wasn't a good idea for her. She barely slept that day and now has neck pain and tons of issues that they thought she had before but she didn't. Its very upsetting and sad.
I think infants shouldn't get chiropractic care until several months later, not so soon as 1 month.
I love how honest and open you are! Such a strong mama ♥️ Gods hand is definitely in your life
I know this was a challenging thing to go through. As a new Mom myself, I am just so blessed to see how well you handled this whole thing. I have an enormous amount of respect how you handled yourself. Trusting in the Lord, and having peace throughout the trial. That is the most important thing. Following peace! Praise the Lord, He is so faithful! Thank you for sharing.
So happy to see you and Ellie looking so good after all that happened. Looks like all of our prayers were answered and we look forward to seeing you and the kiddos as you move on through motherhood with three small children in tow. The beauty videos are great, but I really am curious how 3 little ones will change your normal routines. I was one of those many years ago that went through the blues. I believe it was a physiological chemical thing that I inherited from my mom, who indeed inherited it from my Granma. It is a real thing and no matter how long I thought it out, I was still miserable. Most of all I was tired, probably because I was older having my first child, and 40 when I had my last child. I am amazed at how uplifted you are and can't help wondering how much your videos today would have helped me many years ago. I hope your uplifting words are getting through to a young mother today that has fallen into that very dark and lonely pit (like I did) and make it so much better. It will sure make those days much more meaningful and enjoyable to get through. Take care of yourself and love to you, your wonderful and supportive husband and your precious children. Merry Christmas and much love into 2019. XOXOXO
Aww Sarah I’m so happy to see her doing so well! I tested up soo much watching this.. my son got really bad RSV when he was a few months old and having a baby in the pediatric ER is so hard. All the tubs and machines hooked up to them are so hard to see. But he is doing great and has been a strong little guy! God was with us every step of the way and I know he was there for you too! He is so good!
I hope you guys have an amazing Christmas and enjoy all the newborn time you can while she’s still so little! 😊❤️ From my family to yours!
I legit LOVE the amount of support you show for other moms out there.
I personally am not going to have children until later in my life from a mixture of wanting to mature both physically and mentally, and when I am pregnant I definitely coming back to all your videos to help me.
I've been following you since before you got pregnant with your son and honestly how non-judgmental you are is so refreshing. You're here living your best life and I hope you feel fulfilled in every way 🙌❤
Oh dear! It’s amazing how you must’ve kept yourself together through those trying times. But it shows what a woman of strength and inner beauty you are. Thank God everything went about well.
You are very inspiring indeed!
Love, Esha. ♥️
You're such an inspiration spiritually and personally Sarah. Praise the Lord that Ellie is home 😊
The Lord has big plans for Ellie and your family. Congrats for this new baby. You're amazing Sarah. God bless your family.
Wow!!! So glad Ellie is ok. 🙏🏻 What a relief!!
I must say you look so unbelievably fantastic.
I can’t believe you have had 3 babies. And the fact you just had your precious daughter 2 weeks ago!! She is beautiful Sarah. I think Ellie looks a lot like her beautiful Mama. A dark haired babe. Love you and your family!! 😊💖
My oldest was born with bilirubin watching this made me remember how hard it was going back to the hospital to put her under the uv machine this made me cry , I'm so happy your baby is doing much better sending hugs your way and wishing you and your family a merry Christmas 😘
That's from vaccines. 💙💚💜❤🧡💛
@@shaybatty3785 Let's see ....what kind of waste is injected into the bloodstream of a newborn? Polysorbate 80, formaldehyde, DNA from aborted fetuses, aluminum, aluminum and more aluminum. Wow wonder why my daughter was completely fine til that Hep b shot went through her . Humm. Failure to thrive is also a side effect of those "you got to have this vaccine bolognese. " Happy day to you and yours. Big PHARMA is getting a little greedy dont ya think? 54% of American children have an autoimmune disease. 💛🧡❤💜💚💙 educated before you vaccinate. Or better yet dont vaccinate at all. Watch the HIGHWIRE with Del Bigtree and Forest Mareadys My Incredible opinion.
Newborns don’t get vaccinated, at 1-2 months old yes but no younger than that. My older sister was born a month and a half premature and had to use the billilight. Don’t put down mothers for doing the best they can with the circumstances they are given.
Also I am very sorry about your baby, I hope they are doing well.
Hi Sarah, I’m so glad your baby is doing well, God is so good and faithful. As for the postpartum update, as a doctor I strongly advise you to go get it checked out. I strongly advise you to not take baths , it’s not healthy you should rely on showers, also keeping everything dry down there and going fragrance free.
I've cried once again through the whole video!! Seeing Ivy with baby Ellie makes my heart happy. Many prayers❤❤❤
You might not even see my comment but I’m so sorry for all the negativity you are getting for this!:( What happened to your baby isn’t your fault and isn’t because you decided to have a home birth. Hospitals have so many germs and infection there who knows it could’ve been worse. But if you did go to the hospital the risk of interventions are so high it’s crazy. So ignore all those comments and know that you did everything right! God did heal your baby, he was there with you in the hospital working through every single doctor that was coming in and out of your room. Thank God for those doctors and thank God for healing your baby, comforting you and making your story into such a powerful testimony. Much love❤️
Thank you for sharing this, eventhough this has been a while. I just found you and I know that she's a big girl now. It's nice to see how you handled this and thank you for sharing God's message to you.
Thanks for the realness sarah! Expecting my second little babe in June. So happy that ellie is out of the hospital and healthy & happy :) god is good
Thank you for sharing your life. So grateful to the Lord for all being well and your witness to the world. Blessings to you all.
Hi, Sarah! I am from Brazil. I started watching your vlogs this year. I'm so glad for you and your baby Elizabeth. Thank you so much for shared this amazing journey! ❤️
Seeing your strength through all of that is really encouraging! I am so happy you guys are through it. Though the sorrow may last through the night the joy comes in with the morning. Have a fantastic Christmas guys!
Praise the Lord! Your trials show His glory. Glad you guys are home!
You inspire me throughout my pregnancy (first baby) To see what can happen and what we can handle and get through with God and support!
So Happy Ellie and you are Healty. You have such a sweet family. Merry Christmas to you!
So happy to see you all doing so well. Glad Elli Is home and you are glowing, it's lovely!
I’m over here crying. I understand where you’re coming from. My son had a seizure three months after he was born. I was a wreck. Thankfully I had the support of my family but it was still hard
Seizures are caused from vaccines . It's on the vaccine insert that doctors won't give you. Watch the HIGHWIRE with Del Bigtree
Thank you so much for you vulnerability with sharing even the tough parts of your life. I'm glad Ellie is doing well! I'll keep praying for you guys!
So thankful that y'all made it through those troubles! I absolutely love how open and honest you are about your pregnancies because it helps me prepare and think ahead for my future family. Also, your support and love for all mamas out there is so inspiring and empowering! You are the only person I legit comment on because I just love all of your videos and they are so informative, love you and your family and wish y'all the best!
Please please be careful with lavender on or near lady parts!
I'm 100% about natural essential oils and lavender in general, but it can alter your pH badly!
All the love and blessings though, not trying to be negative at all.
Such a good outcome! I was so worried and sad for you. You are so much stronger than you know! She is so precious. Looks just like you. I was happy that we got the tiniest sneak peek at Kieran's shorn locks.:) You look beautiful and healthy and are such a wonderful young momma. Bless you, Merry Christmas and as always thank you for sharing your wonderful family with us. You inspire!
I’m not religious but I love that you are. I love that you have someone to look to in times of need.
Sarah you're such a sweetheart and so is baby Ellie! I love it when you talk about God and keep thanking and praising Him!
Happy holiday!
My family is saying prayers for you and yours!!! I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!! God Bless!!
We too know know how it feels to have your newborn rushed to hospital. My son was 45 minutes old and TAKEN TO CHILDREN'S MERCY HOSPITAL by ambulance. He was in the hospital for a month. The Lord blessed us and kept him safe in the Doctors and Nurses hands. He is now 13!!! And a typical teenager!!! The Lord is great!!!
I am so very happy that Ellie is alright and you are alright and everybody in your household is doing just fine. Merry Christmas to all of you 😘
Omg, I CAN’T with all these COMMENTS!!! 🤦🏼♀️ “Thank the doctor’s, they healed you! Don’t use oil! Have your baby in the hospital!” EVERYONE is an expert and so UNGRACIOUS, JUDGY, and RUDE. Girl, keep living your life and doing YOU! Shaming and blaming is so passé. Especially from all these other women. It’s 2019....#overit! God bless your precious family!
I am an expert though - a concerned pediatric doctor
You are such an amazing mama. It's so scary when our babies aren't well & I'm sorry y'all have had to go through suck a trial. So thankful Eli is safe! Continued prayers for her health & wellness & for your peace of mind, strength & just a breath of relaxation. God bless you, & your family. Merry Christmas. Xo -The Mikoski Family
What a story. I can so relate to what happened. I feel like you told my story exactly what happened you to happened to me but with the exception of my lil Leo had no symptoms except his oxygen levels were down and the only reason I went to emerge was because my midwife said he looked yellow and I said I should take him in. But fortunately nothing was wrong with Leo and 4 days later we got to go Home. I have a new appreciation for the nurses at the hospital. the love and support you get shows that god is watching out. It was the worst and amazing experience for me. (If that makes sense)
I’m glad your baby is okay. Very happy for you guys. God is good.
Still sending prayers for u n baby ellie... Hope u guys have a very Merry Christmas... She looks so much like her dad...
My son and I were in the hospital for 1 month after he was born bcuz of the doctor messing up my labor & delivary. He had issues for a longgggg time. He's now 3 and still not completely better. So I understand the feeling it brings to watch ur child suffer. I'm so glad she is ok! Thank God for his healing! God's bless u all! Ur amazing with ur faith, good for u and ur strong values and supportive, Godly family.
You are such an encouragement and I’m so happy I stumbled across your channel. Being post partum for the first time ever has been so hard and I’m glad I’m not alone.
Baby Ellie is so precious and she was just so much on my heart and in my prayers and I’m so relieved she is home and healthy. God bless you and your family and Merry Christmas!
What a beautiful testimony you can share thank u for sharing you are a daughter of the most high king! Your baby and your whole family is in His arms! I prayed for you Sarah. I am so happy she is ok. You sweet mama ❤️❤️❤️ I cried watching this
You don’t hear Ellie as short for Elizabeth, I would know because that’s what I go by. So glad to hear she is doing okay and lots of prayers for life to be at peace for a while. 💕
So thankful ur baby is well and home again. Thank God!!! Talk about a multitasker . . Breast feeding and filming at the same time. Ur amazing.
So happy she’s better
I was crying. Oh my this is so scary when something happens to a baby! Praise the Lord you have acted out soon enough. So good to hear that you both are well and home!
*For those of you who DO get postpartum depression (I had it twice), try taking sam-e.* I had good luck with the Nature's Trove brand in the foil packets. It also works for regular depression. For me, it made a really big difference between feeling like there was no end in sight, to feeling like I could get through it. I HIGHLY recommend trying it.
So glad you are doing well and baby is doing better. So sorry you dealt with all that. Thank you for sharing.
She is seriously amazing! She a had a dream birth and post partum! It’s inspiring how perfect her recovery went
Oh Sarah, praying for you all!!! That would be so stressful and I would cry so much too!!! So glad your home❤️
God is definitely good so glad she’s happy and healthy again I sympathize with you so much my son was in and out of hospitals the first year of his life with kidney issues and his first trip I was told he was almost septic and could of lost him had I not been so quick at getting him there god is a major comfort when we worry about our babies she’s such a cutie
Amazing what the Lord did for your angel . Amazing video thank you for being such a strong and wonderful witness for Abba. Praying for a speedy post partum healing. gby
I just found your channel and I’m not looking to be a mom anytime soon, but you’re channel it’s simply amazing. You’re soo sweet and down to earth andI feel so happy watching your videos. You’re really an amazing person
Just started watching your channel and I am in love!!! I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints but your faith and relationship with God is so inspiring to be a better member of my church. I need to get back to reading scriptures and being more grateful towards God for the things which I have in my life, so thank you so much for reminding me 😊❤️
OMG, tough times... So glad it's over now! Sarah, may your Christmas be filled with the true miracles and meaning of this beautiful time. Best wishes for Happy Holidays and a magnificent New Year
So glad she is doing better! Praise the Lord for his word and encouragement when we go through tough life stuff.
Calendula cream. Lady parts xxo bless you Elizabeth and family
Sarah- you are the cutest and I love your honesty. Best to you and your sweet family.
Bless you and Ellie and your family, so glad you are home and feeling better! I am a labor and delivery nurse and your home birth was absolutely amazing, one of the most beautiful and loving birth of babe i have seen in a long time!👣
Thanks for sharing this Sarah! Did any doctors checked up Ellie first and then told you that she was not in a life threatening situation and let you wait for 45 mins? That’s too long for someone who has a really serious problem or in a life threatening situation! I’ve always heard of people waiting hours in emergency room which makes me feel insecure and anxious! If anyone works at emergency room or know the details of that, please share! Thank you! Love people and love the world!
I am sooooooo grateful Ellie is okay! I am so happy for all of you! I am loving the baby videos so much they just melt me into a puddle of warm goo! LOL looking forward to the other things you have planned as well! Love you & your channel so very much!
You're such a beautiful person Sarah! God bless your entire families!
I am so happy she is HAPPY AND HEALTHY now!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️love you girl you are so strong!!!💕💕💕always keeping you in my prayers 💕💕💕
So happy to hear that y'all are doing better!!
Look into a program called Every Mother. I don't know if y'all have it in Canada, but it's a program that was started here in the U.S. by a mother and trainer and it helps heal diastasis recti. I've been doing it for a while now and it has seriously helped!!
Im not a mamma Sarah but I was so worried about Ellie. I prayed for her, she's just a little baby. Now I'm watching this video whilst crying, because I feel you. I know she's OK now but it must have been so hard at the time.
Im still praying though. Xoxo from Argentina 🇦🇷
Soooo happy to hear you and baby are happy and healthy!!! Love your videos!! Cant wait for declutter and especially minimalism!!! Also would love to hear more about ethical shopping
Oh my.....how unbelievably scary!!! I know this video is an older video but praise God that Ellie made a great recovery! How wonderful though that you guys had so much support!💕
I gave birth to my 3rd on 7thDec. So I hear you girl!
1. Love to hear your baby is now cured! (And ofc. all your pray blessd doctors) -that was stress story,I cryed...
2. Very brave to give birth at home, in my country we can not ( there is no doula, no midwife at home...)
3. Smell-mine is worst than two times before too...
4. Blod... to me it is worst than it was before, and my son ripped me as he was going out
5. Belly- mine is MUCH bigger! Love yours, grateful for mine! ;-)
6. Brestfead - same here! Go mama!
Love your vids, I follow only Y.T. so it is all new info to me. Wishing you the best! God bless....
Praise the Lord, so glad Ellie is doing good now! Blessed Merry Christmas!
So glad she’s home and well. God is good.
God bless you and your family. Your faith and love for God is so inspiring! Thank you
I love how you talk about God so much and how you are a strong believer. I feel like most TH-camrs don't express their beliefs as much as they could. You are awesome!!
ALMIGHTY GOD ANSWERS ALL OUR HUMBLE HUMBLE LOVING PRAYERS🙏✝️🙏🕊🙏👶👦❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🕊🙏
I’m happy your baby is okay, I have to say though, I don’t appreciate people showing other people in their videos who have no say.
Dang girl you look incredible! P.S. so happy to hear your little one is doing well! I think I speak for a lot of us when I say she had us worried!
Admittedly I am not religious but I do believe in the power of positivity and sending good thoughts and energies. I had a similar situation with my son and it is so scary so shed all the tears you need to moms it is absolutely okay whether happy or sad tears. Sometimes we need that to release the fears. I am so happy for you that all turned out well for you and your beautiful family.
Oh darling... best health for you little candy angel
So glad you're all healthy and back together! Did I miss what was actually causing the symptoms or did you decide not to mention it? Could be interisting out of an entirely medical perspective, but if it is to private for you I totally respect that! Much love!
What a beautiful family. It is wonderful to hear you speak about God. I am a new subscriber and really admire YOU.
I love you Sarah. Thank you for being such an inspiration, and always reminding me that hope is in this world. Tons of love to you and your family ❤
I balled my eyes out when u said the Dr said they would've lost Ellie. So happy that everything turned out the way it has and she is home for Christmas. Take care. Wish you and your family a Merry Christmas!
I hate that she got sick but she looks adorable just chilling in the hospital bed ❤️
You are honest and true...i have been stinky...Praise God Ellie is well now.
