15 kids, you are definitely doing this correctly.

I’m one of 17 children. My parents have been married for 46 years. After I was born, they only had home births because- well, they were pro’s at that point! I love your channel! Please make more videos, they very much remind me of growing up in my big family ❤️

Curious, how did your parents manage dividing their time among all of their children? I've always wondered how that would affect a big family such as yours.

I would actually love a whole prep video for home births if that’s what your planning. Instead of a what’s in my bag video a what’s on my birth table video would be awesome !!

Thanks for this video. I'm enjoying stumbling upon your channel. As a mom of 7, I really enjoy hearing how other moms of large families handle things. God bless.

Girl, you are killing it!!! Let alone having 14 (almost 15) kids that's awesome!! I am 6 months pp from my 3rd child and you have inspired me!!

Idk how I got here on KZread but I am so amazed!! I can't wait to watch your video on laundry. My grandma had 11 pregnancies and she maintained a pretty healthy uterus and small abdomen. Shockingly her pelvic floor is great at her 89 years of life. I wish I asked her about tips when she remembered. Thank you so much for sharing, it's priceless information.

I trained myself to hold my muscles together, just as you said, most of my day, by wearing a fitted shirt. I am reminded by my belly constantly to keep it tight! 😉 Healed up so fast my midwife wondered how it happened!

I wish I could have a huge family! I have always wanted a big family..I am blessed with a little boy who is 7 now and a little girl who is a miracle that is will be 1 on January 12th! Both times being pregnant where good, especially with my son I enjoyed being pregnant and I did as well with my daughter i just got more miserable with her towards the end but nothing terrible!...I had terrible delivery complications though..so bad they told me I should never get pregnant again and have another baby it would be harmful to us both..I had a miscarriage before my daughter. I definitely hold both my kids tight I am beyond blessed to have these 2 precious angels! I have thought of fostering or adopting! Bless you all! 😇💙💜💛

Mom of 4. These are grea tips! We can learn so much from other families. Looking forward to more.

Really appreciate this perspective there are not many home birth friendly videos out there.

You should do a mom exercise video showing your workout routine!

Belly binding is traditional with Hispanics where I live. They will bind with towels. Some people dehydrate the placenta. There are people who do this as a job. Then it is ground up and put in capsules.

I would love to learn how you do the morning and bedtime routine in your family too!

Yes please thank you! I've struggled so much with loosing my baby weight...

All that you do to take care of yourself is giving you fabulous results, you look phenomenal...and you look early-30's but that can't be right with children in their 20's. I've learned the most from you about what it's like after having a baby than I've ever heard from anyone else....I had two C-Sections and wouldn't know a contraction from heartburn, so it was all rather fascinating to me.

Great video, thank you! I would love a "day in the life" video :)

We welcomed our second baby 8 weeks ago. My body feels like a wreck. I labored 43 hours and had a second emergency c-section for fetal distress. They actually had to push the baby back up to get him out. Some of this video isn’t relevant to me since I just got approved for exercise other than walking last week. But The general theme is useful. Just started pelvic floor therapy and plan to start core exercises soon. I didn’t keep my placenta, but I’m hoping that taking my vitamins and exercising diligently will get me feeling better soon.

Super tips, love you! I find the easiest way to lose weight is by being vegan. I have 3 kids, gained 20 kg during each pregnancy, but then within 6-12m after birth went back to being my 55 kg weight. It's easy, long-term and great for health (and I eat lots of healthy carbs).

gained 18kilos here, 11 months post partum with a strict vegan diet I still can't get the last 3 kilos off. I couldn't breastfeed though, so that likely doesn't help.

Russian manual medicine can help to position internal organs to their places. I went there because of back pain and the doctor explained that when I'll give birth I must come again so he will position the uterus and other organs to the right places.

I’ve worked in OB for years. Your uterus instinctively knows where to go. It can’t go to the wrong place. Just FYI

@jazzyj4765

I think you're misunderstanding what she's saying. After you give birth the top of your uterus is at your belly button or right below it(before it shrinks and is completely back into pelvis) she's saying she pushes down on it to move it where it belongs. There have been women whose uteruses haven't instinctively shrunk back to normal, who have tipped backwards, etc.. She may not be saying the correct words, but after 14 babies, in pretty sure she knows about her uterus and aftercare.

@@jazzyj4765 Thanks for clarifying that, and I just wanted to briefly mention that it’s more comfortable to be functional with the belly band while the swelling goes down and your body does it’s thing, going back into place. It was kind of the same concept for my reproductive lap surgery, just on a much smaller scale as my lap was a minor outpatient excision procedure. I haven’t had a cesarean and it’s a major surgery, so I’d have a hard time recommending that without your ob’s recommendation.

Ladies, we can help each other out. We are supposed to be horizontal for 2 weeks after giving birth to help stop the blood flow. Please bring meals and coordinate meal trains to your neighbors so that your new mommy friends can work on establishing breastfeeding. We go for light walks as a family in the early weeks. Help babysit older kids so that new moms can recover. And I second her idea of the belly band, I have a Japanese 40 ft long piece of fabric that I wrap around my belly postpartum day 3.

I personally found being up and about soon after giving birth kept my bleeding time short. I was done by 3 weeks and i think it’s because i was active.

What happens if your placenta is bad or changed, because the water changed in the course of pregnancy... for example baby stays longer in the womb than the calculated birth date ? Have you ever added extra vitamin capsules while taking in your placenta or only your placenta???

do you count calories or cut out certain food groups in your diet?? Or do you eat in moderation??

It doesn’t always go back into the right place so it’s best to wrap it. That’s why you see some women who aren’t even fat in any way at all, whose stomach is just poking out forever after a baby because it didn’t settle in the right place properly. It’s worth doing it because if it doesn’t settle properly, you can’t go back and fix it later.

oh dear ... it's been 10 years since my youngest and the stomach muscles just seem to refuse to go back to correct place. I hope something helps soon, somehow, as this is no fun. { LFC }
