Dino nuggets for the win! I like those boxes but had no clue you have to pull the top liner out and wash it or it gets moldy 😬
Hi! I’ve been following you since early 2023 when I found out I was pregnant. I do have 2 fibroids-1 @4cm and 1 @9cm & both are outside of my uterus. The one at the top was definitely sticking out during my pregnancy lol. I gave birth vaginally in Nov 2023 to a beautiful 8 lbs 8oz baby girl! But my question is - did your OB ever recommend removal?
Awwww yay!!!! Thanks for being here and congratulations to you!!!! My doctors never brought up removal to me but I asked. I asked after my first pregnancy to see if I needed to if I wanted more children then I asked again when I was pregnant with my second. What I learned is that many folks who want or need fibroid removal have to really advocate for themselves to do it. Sounds like doctors don’t do it super easily if it’s not necessary. In my case, they don’t cause me any problems and could likely create more problems for me. I know every case is different and it all depends on each persons experience, symptoms, medical history, etc
Cute bento box! Love all the compartments as well. Everything has a place 😊
So true! Thank you for watching
Round of applause for this amazing mother
Awww thank you 😊
Np
You’re such an amazing mother! 🫶🏽🌻♥️🙏🏽🙂
Awwww! You’re too sweet. Thank you
ohh my gosh that lunchbox is so cute whered u get it
Thank you! I purchased it on Amazon. There’s a link in my most recent UA-cam video 💜
Shoot, I need to follow that system! Your girls are so adorable and super smart.❤😊🌻
Haha thank you !!! I need to get in my closet and do organizing myself.
Thank you for being realistic about the mom life because it's sooooo true. That Dollar Tree is HUGE and has waaaay too much going on but like that lady said, they ARE trying to come up
Oh of course. It’s been a journey. Hahahaha! This is what I call “the far away dollar tree” it’s like 25 mins away but has a lot of stuff. Back to school has taken its toll on these stores. That location and the target are usually prestine!
I’ll go broke shopping at Target 😂… Oh and that bubble drink, is it coffee??
Me too friend! Target takes all my money! Hahaha. They usually contain tea or coffee - this particular bubble tea was made with black tea. I love them all. Even the fruity ones. So yummy and refreshing
Awesome lunch momma ❤ looks great
Awwww Thank you so much 😊
So healthy ice Popsicles
@@user-zd5lm7un2mThank you
I've followed your story and journey since 2021 when my wife got pregnant with fibroids. Your journey gave us hope and we have two beautiful girls with fibroids and vaginal delivery for both. Thank you for sharing your story. You are making a massive difference.
Thank you so much for this comment! It truly made my day. I often get discouraged with this social media thing but comments like this keep me going. Thank you!! Blessings and love to your family 💜
Those look delicious!😋🎉❤
@@trudy-annclarke3617 Yes, they’re so yummy!!!!
Thank you so much I’m also SC. I wanted to ask if they induced you at 37 weeks because they informed me I had to be induced before 38 weeks.
Hi there! No I didn’t have to be induced at 37 weeks. My first came naturally at 39 weeks and 5 days then for my second, I was induced but only because of her size. I was induced later though, at 39 weeks and 2 days because my baby was measuring over 10 pounds
I am so happy to stumble on your channel. You are doing a great job.
@@mouyeurlag3169 Awww thank you! Happy to have you 💜
I was told by my OBGYN that fibroids are not hereditary.
Now i get so much hope to have a baby in the future. Thanks for your video.
Best of luck!
Thank you for your video
You are welcome
Very helpful content! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Hey!! Do you face any pain through ur pregnancy? I have subserosal fibroid I'm pregnant with 9 weeks Now. I'm in pain
I’m so sorry to hear that. I did experience some pain but it was way later into my pregnancy. Definitely keep track of your pain and ask tons of questions to your care team when you can
It was challenging and unbearable because of how critical my health situation was. but I am grateful and happy to have ordered Dr Aluda herbal supplements on UA-cam which I used and it shrunk my multiple fibroids completely 😊😊
Have you used washable fabric diapers?
I have not used them. I’ve heard a lot of good things about them and there are even services that can provide them/help with the cleaning. Such a cool and eco friendly option
This newborn clothes looks so cute😊
I think so too!
Trying to get pregnant and had a miscarriage. During the ultra sound they found small fibroids…. I am praying that we get pregnant again and that it sticks, with no issues from the fibroids
I pray that same prayer for you!!!!
Thank you for this and those positive comments…My heart was very heavy for 2 days now and discovered I have a 13cm fibroid while being pregnant for 6 weeks now. I hope everything goes well…
Mre ek missed abortion hua hy
Mujy b fibroid hy 9.1x8.2 cm
I have sc and 8 months pregnant with my first child
Wishing you all the best
OMG. This grandma says THANK YOU a million times over! I left this joker for about a week. Their instructions are TRASH! YOU made it sooooo much easier! My grandma status has been reinstated 😊 ❤
I’m so so happy this video was helpful! I did not plan to record (hence why I looked that way! lol) but yes their directions were horrible! So happy you were able to work it out for your grands! Thanks so much for watching 💜 Grandma strong 💪🏽
Is your fibroid intramural?
They are Subserosal 💜
Girl! Lol I felt this
Awwww thank you for commenting, it means so much to me 💜 we got this though 😆
This ❤Things are helpful and i am scared to get my period at school and i don't have any pads or liners , do 13 year old also go to period too
Puberty can begin anywhere between 8-18 years old. So yes it’s possible that someone could get their period at 13. Wishing you all the best 💜
THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO. I also have HbSC and family planning so thanks for this resource!
You’re welcome!! Glad it was helpful
Thank you so much for sharing
Mine is. 17 cm now
GOD have mercy to every lady having fibroids and waiting for you to fight their battles on this
Hi i have sickle cell trait and my husband has normal haemoglobin AA i am 2 month pregnant pls ..tell me i am nervous what to do ..will i go for pregnancy or abortion 😭😭😭😭
Hi there! With you and your husbands genes there may not be much need to worry. Your child(ren) may also have the trait or they not.
Wow, I never knew about these particular insecurities but thanks for opening up cause I’m feeling similar. I appreciate you plus the motivation to exercise and true self care. ♥️🙂🙏🏽🌻
Yeah friend, it’s a true struggle sometimes! I’m working on it, but thank you so much for being here.
I just be thinking these symptoms is just letting you know your period is coming I can’t tell
This was super helpful, especially the shots of both your girls in the Upseat! I am considering this seat and wondered just how true its claim about fitting a 2yo actually is! Thanks!
Hey there! So glad it was helpful 💜
Location of your fibroid?
Outside of uterus Top left and bottom right

Did you have to privide your own mirror or did the hospital provide it?
The hospital provided it 😊💜
