I would love a video about the birth talking about how it was so different than the others. So many people talk about how amazing birth is but no one talks about how tough it can be too
That's interesting I feel like it's hard to hear about how amazing birth is and most people talk about how hard it is
@@brennamcdonald6265yes!
This happened to me- I had an unmedicated VBAC- and my ENTIRE face had broken capillaries, both my eyes had burst vessels, two black eyes. I was determined. It was crazy looking! And felt like I got hit by a train, I definitely wasn’t prepared for the recovery. But, her birth was beautiful, just as I imagined and totally redemptive. Our bodies are amazing, you are amazing mama!!! Congrats on your bundle of joy ❤
My face looked similar after birth. The marks of a warrior mama ❤ You have such a beautiful family, God bless you all
The roar you did while you were pushing Theo out, made me tear up and reminded me of my labor. Pushing was the hardest part for me as well, pushed for 2hrs😅somehow we do it and even choose to go through it again! Natural/unmedicated labors are so challenging, but really do make you feel like a badass👊🏼Congratulations warrior, fricken rockstar, you did it!
You don’t look beatup. Other than your eye being red you look perfectly normal 💜
With both my pregnancies I was so violently sick, when I would vomit my face would strain so much I had broken/burst capillaries all the time…bloodshot eyes too, but not quite as red as yours Nicole. So I feel your pain! I think you were so exhausted after such a long labour, that weird things happened to your body when you pushed. You are amazing and so so strong!! 💪🏼 thank you for being vulnerable and show all the parts of pregnancy and childbirth; not just the pretty parts.
I also had the broken capillaries on my face after giving birth to my first baby. I didn't get the bloodshot eyes but I was also surprised to find out this could happen! Congratulations 💜
Sending you prayers for all the grace and peace in recovery! I had a really challenging recovery round 2 and I wasn't prepared
Praying your recovery continues to get better and better 🙏🏼 I am one who would love another birth related video. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Nicole you are just so down-to-earth and amazing. I cried at the end with your three kiddos and the music. Just amazing. CONGRATS!!!
Hoo you and your family are enjoying every minute of this season!!!! ❤❤❤
You guys are so sweet! Thank you for sharing this moments with us! God bless you guys!!!💛💛💛💛💛🙏🏻
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉
How sweet😊 Congratulations mama❤
So excited for this. I know it must be super difficult to create new content with a new little baby at home, we appreciate your work ❤️ praying for you and your family
Yes interested in the full birth story! You’re amazing ❤
Such beautiful pictures!! I love all your videos Nicole! Everything you share I enjoy so much! Theo is amazing 💙
Nicole! You are such a WARRIOR for this labor and delivery. What happened to your face happened to me while I was pregnant. My morning sickness was terrible and every time I threw up the same thing would happen to my face. It goes away within a week or two but it does make you feel out of sorts. I pray that you recover fully and quickly. Keep up the great work, I love you!
Oof, I could hear the shake in your voice and it almost unstitched me into a puddle myself. You ARE such a warrior on so many levels. Wrapping you up in so much loving and comforting prayer as you embark on this new chapter as a family of 5! ❤congrats on sweet little Theo!
I appreciate your work so much ❤ really looking like a warrior 💪
PLEASE do a whole story...expecting my second in a month or so and been waiting anxiously for your videos, they are so sweet and inspirational, thank you for this ❤️ You’re one STRONG mama 💎 Hoping for a speedy strong recovery for you, do share your PP tips like the last time.
I love Richie in videos😂 I find his personality to be so funny. This is a request for more of Richie😂 Congratulations on the new addition! What a blessing from God❤
Yesss I would love to hear about your birth story! You are a warrior! It is not an easy journey but you did it!
I just had my first daughter last Sunday and I had a similar reaction to seeing myself - my family members didn’t even recognize me in photos because of all the swelling and broken blood vessels from 30 hours of back labor (24 of which was unmedicated until I was begging for the epidural) with 4 hours of pushing. Recovery has been so much tougher than I expected. Everyone keeps telling me that my labor was pretty challenging compared to most and that my next one will be easier but man… it will take a lot of prayer and leaning on the lord to enter into my next labor. Good job mama, I hope you’re healing well and able to soak in the newborn snuggles.
I’d love to hear about the struggles too ❤ Thanks for sharing the real you you’re so brave
I actually have heard of capillaries breaking with the force of pushing! My third was breech so I did not experience this! Praying for a quick recovery blessings
Soooo precious, I’m so happy for you guys!!!❤️
I so can relate with this! My three labors were unmedicated, but my last was the hardest! If I have a forth, I’m thinking epidural (lol)
Your loyal viewers enjoy watching the children grow and learn. We also love hearing about your life experiences, so please do a more detailed video. Other mothers-to-be would benefit from any info you might share. 🙂
Hi Nicole I know it was probably hard to get in front of the camera with how you were feeling about your physical appearance. I love when you said, “I kind of feel like a warrior.” You shouldn’t FEEL like a warrior, you ARE a warrior! Child birth is not easy on us woman whatsoever, and i praise you so much for going unmedicated again. I’m glad you decided to film and share this reality with us. There are plenty of birth vlogs on this platform but not a lot reveal this side of reality when it comes to child birth. And it’s something new for everyone to learn! But you look beautiful and I’m glad you, Theo, and the rest of the fam are doing well. I also wanted to note the soft music in the background was the perfect touch to this video❤
You are doing amazing. You did great. It helps that you and hubby have such a bond. And yes I'd love to see that video. Xx
You are a true warrior girl❤
Your family is beautiful ❤ thank you for sharing
Wow, Warrior indeed. Thank you for sharing, ❤Theo’s adorable. Stay rested🙏🏾Blessings
Baby Theo is going to be such a quick learner with 2 older siblings 💕 there is so much love in your family. Thank you for sharing with us 💗💗 you look so beautiful in mommyhood!
Congratulations on baby Theo 🧡🧡🧡🧡 would love to hear your birth story in a separate video too
Bine ai venit bebe Theo ❤❤❤❤sunteți tare frumosi.
I love how the names Jace, Aria, and Theo just flow so well together. And I love how they are each 4 letters lol
your videos are always so beautiful!
Wow that's crazy. I'm sorry to hear that happened to you. I've never heard that happening either 🙏🏼♥️ sending prayers your way
King Nicole!! 🥹
Yes!! You are a warrior!!❤ Ești o luptătoare, ești un erou! ❤
Sorry to hear that your labor & delivery were so intense. I would love to hear/see a more in-depth vlog about your story ❤❤❤
I'm so in love with your family 🥺 makes me want to be a mum already yesterday
My eyes were blood shot as well. My face was swollen and read. So don’t worry it’s because you did it momma! Marks of a warrior for sure!❤️
I had the same experience with my first! Those spots all over my face (broken capillaries) from pushing so hard. It was because I had coached purple pushing. Thankfully with my second I focused on breathing through the pushes and did not have the same broken blood vessels!
Was he a bigger baby and that is what made it so much harder to push? You did amazing mama! I’m on baby #4 and I had no idea this could happen either! So thanks for being so open about it!
I'm so happy you are sharing about this. It happened to me and I did not know about it prior. I did not take many pictures because of it and I can't even look at those even though it's been 16 months. It's refreshing to see I am not the only one that was beat up by labor and birth 😂
My daughter had something similar on her eye after she was born! It went away shortly after! ❤ congratulations!
Hi! My labor was very quick, but my face, neck an shoulders were covered in little spots. Also I had blood in my eye, but it was because I was pushing with my eyes open and mainly with my face 😅 it went away in few days, don't worry! You did your best and your beautiful baby is next to you - that's important! ❤
Thank you for sharing ❤
I'm only 4 months pregnant, but that happened from morning sickness. My vomit was violent. Thanks for sharing
Ohhh I had the same thing when I had my boy. It took around 2weeks for my face to be back to normal and around 3weeks for my eyes. My labour was not medicated, I didn't even took paracetamol😂. I felt horrible by the time and I am a first time mom so i was confused. Don't worry everything will be back to normal try to enjoy your cute baby❤❤❤❤
You are a Warrior! W/Capital W! Thank you for sharing! We'd love a nore detailed birth vlog, to normalize hard labors especially when they're not the first. There's a misconception about births getting easier after 1st. When you get a chance, would you share a rough cut of a routine/balancing 3 kids? This is because there is a struggle and don't have any reference. Blessings to your family and your recovery🙏
More birth content yes please!
Yes play by play please!
Anyone who makes it through labor and delivery with no epidural my God your amazing I made it 6 centimeters and that was enough for me to call it quite I needed epidural immediately my contractions shot into my back and my God I felt like I had a broken back after I finally gave birth and went home I actually had to go back to the hospital because of my back pain it was very severe after birth it must have been the positions I sat in everytime I had a back contraction or I pulled a muscle while having contractions I don't know it was bad. But I give you props for going without any meds your amazing congrats on the new baby.
Thanks for sharing, love this. My son's name also means God's gift.
Would you mind sharing what crib that is by your bed! It’s gorgeous
What formula would you recommend for our 4 day old baby ?
I definitely had that happen to my eye when I was pregnant. I didn’t get it from birth but from throwing up while pregnant. I spent my birthday with a bloody eye. It kind of got me down because everyone would stare at it or at least it felt like they were. Especially during the pandemic I’m like I’m not sick just pregnant. So that made it hard to accept it but also it would be so sore and it just didn’t have me feeling my best. I hope you start to feel better soon I recommend some cucumbers on the eyelids for some comfort. I had my partner go to the grocery store as soon as it opened because we ran out of cucumbers and that was the one thing that provided instant relief.
Omg Nicole 😮im so sorry ❤
Hola Nicole ❤
wild, I had this from throwing up so bad and so often during my first preg and heard of moms having it during labor but I think this might be the worst one Ive seen. Best wishes and hope you recover well
May the Lord bless your beautiful family. Amen ❤🙏
Hey mamas! Anyone else experience something similar?! Lemme know!
I've never heard of it momma, but I had all C-sections with my 5. I have a tilted uterus and can't give birth any other way. You are definitely a warrior mom! You go momma 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I don't know about this but I'm not surprised. Congrats again. You did it
I had a natural birth with my daughter, it was truly an awesome experience-BUT BOY I felt and looked like I got out of a serious boxing match. Swollen eyes I could barely see, popped blood vessels everywhere. Wouldn’t change it for the world, felt like I got ran over by a train-but what a miracle the whole thing was. I was beside myself with joy and also utterly wrecked, it’s just the reality of it!
I've never had that happen to my eye but I've puked so hard while pregnant that I've burst capillaries and my face has swollen up.
I experienced a similar eye situation after my first daughter! It wasn't quite as bad but I remember looking in the mirror and being like wth ?! 🤣😅
Omg aria is soooooo big nooww!!
Please share the full birth story! ❤️
Not me feeling sad 😩 we didn’t get the full name and just his nickname. I thought the 4 letter name Theo was his full name to match Jace and Aria.
you ARE a warrior!!!! And theo is so so so cute and you are BEAUTIFUL. P.S one time i threw up so hard i burst an eye capillary. Gross.
This normally happens to me when I throw up really badly . But like you said warrior
Damn girl! You're a warrior!! Theo is beautiful the family photos came out amazing. Congratulations again!!
Nicole, congratulations to you and Richie and your entire family! Theo is such a little tiny little smushy little cute ball❤️ congratulations❤️💕
❤❤
Hi! Praying you have you swift recovery! If this isn't too personal, one thing that I would be curious to hear about is why choose an unmedicated birth if it's so rough on the momma's body? I'm genuinely curious and trying to understand why some moms make that choice as opposed to getting an epidural and being able to have a more smooth delivery So it would be so helpful to hear from the perspective of someone who's done both I watched another mom's video and she also did unmedicated and because she wanted the baby out so badly cuz of the pain she pushed extremely hard and got a third degree tear So I'm wondering why not get an epidural and be able to be a bit more chill while pushing and have it be less brutal on your own body (less extreme tearing cuz you're not being as forceful and maybe no black eyes) I'm genuinely trying to understand what makes unmedicated worth it or do you still think it's worth it And again only if you're comfortable sharing this Thanks so much! Hope you're able to get lots of rest! ❤
Hey! Thank you! Such a good question and I may end up explaining more in another video but what I can say for now in a quick comment is that I personally did NOT tear with both my unmedicated labors. Whereas I DID tear with the medicated one. I've heard this from many other mamas too and reason being is because with the epidural you're numb down there and can't feel your body as much to know when you should or shouldn't push, therefore end up tearing. My bloodshot eye and face was a result of pushing for a long time, because the baby was stuck in a strange position. It had nothing to do with it being unmedicated. In fact, I think if I had the epidural my face potentially could have been worse since I wouldn't have been able to feel when to push and then strained even more. I am able to feel much more in tune with my body and what I need to do when I'm unmedicated. Hopefully that sheds some light!
Hi my friend I pray to you and your baby God bless you. And you always smiling. Amin Awan from Pakistan.
I noticed with my second child to my face changed right after delivery too. My face and neck broke out with petechiae, eyelids were swollen and heavy. It’s gone away now but i never experienced it with my first. Probably bc I also didn’t show up to the hospital 9cm dilated and have to give birth naturally lol
I just gave birth 3 days ago, I decided to go unmedicated, despite being induced. I found out while pushing that she was sunny side up, and pushing was honestly worse than the contractions after 24 units of Pitocin for hours. I was fine until yesterday, when my eyes felt like someone hit me in the face. Naturally I went looking for similar stories, because I thought I detached my retina.
Play by play would be amazing! I’ve heard third births can be the hardest
Yes thats what my midwife said the third and seventh births are usually different sometimes harder than the rest. My third was hard and he was also my biggest baby so I lost heaps of blood and needed a blood transfusion for the first time.
Birth story please!
God is good! Would love a video explaining your birth experience if you're comfortable with sharing. Such a wild thing!
Definitely we’re pushing in your face 😭
Congrats on Baby THEO! ❤️ I would definitely love to see a „play-by-play“ but only if it’s not too much stress for you! BTW: Not sure it’s that big of a deal, but in case it is and you want/need to edit something to „fix“ it, Richie actually mentions Theo‘s name at around minute 12 in the Birth Vlog.
Hey thank you! and omg I didn't realize that haha nice catch! I unfortunately cant even go back and edit so OH WELL!
@nicolelelagreen Then it’ll just be a sweet little Easter Egg for those who caught it ❤️☺️
Hey Nicole! If you are comfortable, I would love to know the whole story. I'll give birth to my first baby in December, so I want to know alllll the ways it can go. But only if you're up for it! I know it's vulnerable to be real on the internet.
Actually I saw another women with the red eye after delivery I understand it happens often
What’s Theos middle name
No judgement but did you have as many people attending your birth with previous labours? That would personally stress me out a lot and create an intense situation. Obviously everyone is different and some benefit from having that many people there. Just curious.
My face look like that during my first trimester with my son, because I would so violently barf 🥲
I had two black eyes with my first baby. I pushed for over 3 hours and broke blood vessels all over my body.
I’m sorry that happened to your eye! We shouldn’t be coached to push like that
