“It was like I was walking into the Olympics again”....Shawn, you are such a bad ass! To even be able to say that is a testament to the queen that you are. ❤️

This is sooo beautifully said ❤

I am a 65 year old Christian woman that has been suff ering from depression. I discovered your videos three days ago and they have really lifted my spirit. I know physical exercise is one of the keys to getting out of this hole, so you have inspired me to start with at least 30 min exercise daily. Thank you for your witness to the power of the Gospel. I will pray for your marriage to stay strong! Be blessed Precious Ones!!!

Would love to hear about Shawn's healing process

Shawn, you did NOT fail, as a Mom, by needing a C-section. Drew Hazel was a healthy size, at over 8 pounds. You are small, in stature. Drew was too big for your birth canal. I'm glad you're healthy, and healing quickly. That's due to your athletic past, and overall health. I'm proud of you, and Andrew.

When I was born... 8lbs, 4oz. 21", the umbilical cord was three times around my neck. My APGAR was zero, too. It took nearly an hour to get me to breathe on my own. Now, I'm in the last year of my 6th decade. I'm between 6'4" and 6'5", 330lbs. The smallest of 5 kids, now the largest member of the family, both branches. Two total knee replacements, two surgeries to restore my sight, a heart attack, and a stroke. I'm a USAF Veteran with CPTSD and other mental and physical problems, I'm unemployed AND unemployable. So, I'm trying to 'enjoy' retirement. I spend a LOT of time at the VA Medical Center in our city, for appointments and just getting out of the apartment. (a little background, so you can know me better).

JanelleH I had a slightly similar story to Shawn’s...I was induced at 41 weeks, water broke on its own though. I had an epidural and just wasn’t progressing. He wasn’t dropping, and I wasn’t dilating more than like 2cm. Honestly mom’s height and baby’s weight aren’t exactly what matters. Mom’s pelvic size and baby’s head size are really the important factors. My son was also stuck in my pelvis. He wouldn’t have come out naturally. For baby head measurement, my son was 99th percentile. Modern medicine didn’t fail us, it saved us. Even a hundred years ago, we’d have died in childbirth or been maimed with a broken pelvis, and unlikely our babies would’ve made it either.

JanelleH Always most importantly is a healthy mom & baby. I'm 4'10" ,very petite. I was run over by a conversion van and sustained several pelvic fractures due to the accident. The midwives I had were unsure if I was able to have a vaginal delivery. Though Iwas told to watch my carbs; I still gained a significant amount of weight.💁 I did have a vaginal delivery a baby boy w/ a head circumference in the 99th percentile. I went to the hospital knowing a c-section was in the cards, and all I wanted was a healthy baby.

@@inchristalone25 that's not fair. You cannot tell from the outside what a woman's pelvis/birth canal is like. I have a friend who is 6 feet tall and had c-sections with all three of her kids cuz they couldn't fit through her birth canal. My sister, who is 5'4" have birth vaginally to a 10lb baby.

Advantage of starting a new channel: You have your comments back!

I have had to have 3X C-Sections to my three daughters. I labored 22 hours with my first and had a emergency c section with my first. She had a extremely low heart rate and was scared for her. She was a healthy 8lbs 4oz and 21.5 inches long. She is a striving beautiful 7 year old. My second daughter I tried so hard during my pregnancy to delivery that I wanted to try to have a VBAC. It was awful it turned into a emergency C-Section, both of our heart rates flatlined. We were rushed, she was born and they somehow saved both of us. I was terrified to get pregnant again for the third time, but in Gods time I became pregnant. I immediately made the decision to plan to have a c section. Best decision ever! I was finally able to breastfeed and be aware of the delivery. It’s amazing. We are done having children. We are still all great mamas and we did NOT fail! We birthed our healthy beautiful babies! Congrats guys!

They say pregnancy is 9 months because by the time most women find out that they are pregnant a month has already passed. Love you both. So proud of the new podcast!

Would love to hear more about how having a newborn has challenged your relationship, and what you've found helpful.

Love y'all and I can't wait for more episodes. I love how open this was.

This episode was truly touching! I had goosebumps so many times!

This is a great start. I can't wait to see more.

LOVE THIS EPISODE

Awesome! Been waiting for this.

Love this! Thank you for sharing!

Love this. There is no failure in having a c-section. As a mom of having 3 c-sections just know you are strong and have conquered a great thing.

I would like to see you guys interview your parents.

Love this! Can't wait for all the podcast topics to follow!

Loved this you guys are so wonderful and can’t wait to see more❤️❤️

It's all testing the algorithms and they are pure people and it probably has something to do with researching those that are attracted to this type of site and how we respond and react to the lack of comments, etc. Social engineering, algorithms and filter bubbles...the tech magazines discuss these things.

At some point the mentioned that they ran into (maybe at the Iphone launch??) some KZread execs and asked. Even the execs didn't know. So far it seems to be a mystery as to why they don't have comments. I could be remembering wrong, but my impression has been they've been trying to get them turned back on.

Ur job was to bring ur baby into this world one way or the ather. U did just that like a trooper and now she is blessed With u as her mother. U rock girl!!!

Love Shawn, Andrew and Drew! Thank you for being so open, honest and real with all of us

This made me cry!! You both are truly amazing! Gods blessing!

I pray for you two, I mean three. I pray that things continue to go well for you and God continue to bless you. There are many things you two have going for you. One, you are able to talk deeply with each other even about difficult things. Two, you have a husband who is truely interested in what is going on with you Shawn and what you think without implying it's stupid or being condescending like many men tend to do.

As a med school student from another country I cannot stress this enough: Americans have a way of thinking that it's not healthy about pregnancies and deliveries. The same way a man is no less for crying, a woman is no less for getting an epidural or a C-section or not giving birth at home. You have a beautiful family 💙 IG: @maria.conde.pumpido

María Conde-Pumpido Velasco My mother in law is a newly retired L&D nurse and she said it is all the new age birth planning and labor shaming that has lead to the guilt for not all natural births. She said it all changed about 10 years ago when all the shamming started. She said it has made it very difficult to treat patients because of the guilt others have put on epidurals and sections. I had big babies 1st was a vag birth with a 4th degree plus rip the rest of the way. 9lb 13oz 21.5 in. Recovery was long. #2 same size was a section due to coming out of the canal. Recovery was a breeze.

I would love to hear from Shawn about the healing process from having her C-section

I love getting to hear your story. The raw, unedited, truthful, and beautiful journey through marriage and now parenthood. Thank you for sharing it all with your east fam fans! We love you!

Great episode. I appreciate your honesty.

“Humble beginnings” 🤣🤣🤣 Loving the longer format ♥️ IG: jubiaa

Wow, newly born and Drew's already an overachiever

Loved this, so much! When Shawn was talking about her experience it reminded me of my c-sections with my 2. The first time was so many emotions and questions. Keep the great work!

Amazing story! Love how open and real you each are about such a life changing experience! 5 stars!!

I know you guys had a little girl (congrats btw!) but I would love to hear you guys talk about circumcision and what your thoughts are on that if you had had a baby boy.

I remember feeling all the guilt for having to have an Emergency Csection. I wanted so badly to give birth the way women have done for years and years but it just wasnt in the cards however now looking back 3 years later I have no idea why I felt so guilty my baby boy is a healthy strong happy toddler regardless of how I birthed him. I just had a second Csection in december 2018 and although I still think about giving birth naturally. I am blessed with a second happy healthy baby boy!

Macy Hess - Aw, congratulations on your two beautiful baby boys! I don’t have any children but eventually I would like some. Being that you had a C-section for your first baby, do you automatically have to receive a c-section for your second one? Do you plan to have any more babies in the future, or are you all done? ✨

@@sabrina.natalie you can try for a VBAC (vaginal birth after Cesarean) I choose not to because of my previous attempt at a vaginal birth and the issues that led me to a csection to begin with. However you can always try for one if your doctor and you discuss it and decide it's right. I am planning to have 1 more baby and I am actually trying for my 3 now! I will opt to have another csection again.

The details are sooo interesting and the way you described being cut open, omg! Haha love you guys and how your just sooo open and real!

I have never listened to a birth story that I have resonated with so much. Your pre birth emotions and the mom guilt surrounding having a c section are exactly how I felt. A year later and I have finally found pride and strength in being a c section mom.

I loved your openness! Your daughter will be proud to hear this birth story- its Very Beautiful. The Strength you endured and still have is phenomenal ✨

So glad y'all have been able to make the time to get this going. However, don't forget to make time for yourselves 💗

This is amazing! I rate this a 10!! I can not wait for more episodes! You two are SO inspiring!!

I felt the exact same with my first birth which ended in an emergency c-section. I tried for a Vbac second time round due to Mum guilt and not doing it “naturally” . This also ended c-section, I am now a week away from my 4th c-section (and last) and finally accepting that this was just my journey and this is what has kept me and my babies safe. People have to stop making Mum’s feel bad and guilty when in most cases it is out of our control. I hope you heal quickly and just enjoy your daughter and little family.

I love you guys!!! Thanks for always sharing your lives with us. Drew is so sweet. Nash is too!

Shawn, I had a very similar experience! I feel you Girl. You are a boss! Praying for your recovery

I love this so much! I recently just had a baby girl as well and you put everything into words I couldn’t. Also how special is this that your daughter can look back on this and see what a miracle she is and just how loved she is.This is so relatable and raw. Please keep sharing your life and faith with the world it’s so refreshing!!!
