I’m so mad on your behalf over what the doctor said about you being the mom and not the baby. When I had my son I was in labor for 34 hours, had a long horrible painful birth, had to get my epidural removed and replaced, had been awake for over 24 hours, I was suffering. When it came to trying to breastfeed, I was so overwhelmed and could barely keep my eyes open and my son was having a hard time latching. the nurse helping me said “there’s no use in me helping you of you aren’t even going to try” I was only 20 years old at the time and I wanted to scream cry, my feelings were so hurt. Like ma’am I just had a baby, give me a break! It totally ruined the moment for me, I was so frustrated and embarrassed that just asked for formula at that point. It haunts me to this day(14yrs later)

not the epidural + scoliosis diagnosis combo 😭

Oh my gosh, I would've demanded to speak to someone about that doctor. That is awful bedside manners, much less in this kind of situation.

What's wild is that today I randomly thought, " I wonder when Ash will post her birth story?" 30 minutes later 🤯

Remember that you can always ask for a different doctor or nurse. I had a rude nurse when I had my second son and I literally snapped and told her to get tf out of my room. Her jaw was on the floor. They sent in a new nurse who was so lovely.

Hope you file a complaint against that terrible doctor, so awful!

ash I'm so excited! Welcome little Sunny and congratulations to you and Jayce

I’m sobbing 😭 she’s so precious and motherhood looks amazing on you 💖👑

So happy for you Ash! Congratulations to both of you! Omg she is adorable! 😢❤❤❤

not me CRYING. you are such a good story teller, sunny is so lucky to have you. ❤ this makes me so excited for when i have my own 😮‍💨

Congratulations on your sweet baby Sunny ! She is so beautiful and true - there is not another love like a Mom and her baby love.💞

Congratulations!! Thanks for sharing your birth story! Soo sweet to see mom & baby doing good. ❤

She’s so beautiful!! She also looks just like Jace, which is not fair. Congratulations!!

I'm so so happy for you! What a true blessing! Keep us updated on how she is doing and how you are feeling too!!

Congratulations! So sweet that she grabbed your hand right after she was put on your chest, that’s beautiful 🥹❤️

Omg crying and so happy for you! I’ve been around since your first KZfaq video, I was an IG follower before then and it’s been so sweet to see you become a mama 🥹 funnily enough I watched Superbad during my hospital stay too 💀 but also totally relate to having bad doctors step in for your actual OB. My first baby I had to have a c section, and my OB just has the most incredible bedside manner. He literally had me hug him while I was on the operating table getting the spinal block, since my hubby couldn’t come in yet. My second baby, I went in with premature labor and they had to just get the doctor on call. Everyone was so rude to me, I felt so alone in the whole process. They were yelling at me too because I couldn’t tie their mask they provided (this was in 2020) but I also had the biggest IV sticking out of my hand and arms making it difficult for me to bend them to tie it. I’m sorry you had to deal with those rude comments. I actually had the cleaning lady told me I would “ruin my son” too when I had him because I was so young. People suck. I’m just glad you and baby are healthy! She’s beautiful, congratulations mama!!!

It’s so good to see you back! Congratulations again mama! You look beautiful ❤ your story brought me back to thinking about when I gave birth to my son 15 years ago 🥹❤️

Yesssss!!! I tell people all the time-- it's a love you've never experienced until you have a baby. So happy for you!

Congratulations 🎉 on your beautiful baby, blessings for you and your family

thank you for telling this story! these past years ive related so much with ur feelings on anxiety and fears about giving birth. i am so sorry ur doctor was literally the most evil entity in the room, its the last thing we need as women in a delivery room omg….. also if you could talk about post partum more !! im so interested and i think theres not enough awareness on what thats truly like. im so happy for you ash sending so much love to you jayce and sunny!! 💛⭐️😽

Aw sweet sunnnnnnyyyy is such a doll. I cried so hard I am so happy for you ash congrats. 🎉🎉🎉

Happy tears - you did such a good job with this story - it brought back so many memories of my own birth story! Your baby is soooo cute! My son is 19 and yelling at his video game downstairs and yes I never knew how much love means until he arrived in my life ❤❤❤❤

i don’t have instagram anymore, so i have been waiting for this. SUNNY IS THE PERFECT NAME. i am so happy for you and jayce. i have been around since the beginning of your youtube debut and i got to say, watching you grow through all these years and become a god damn MOM has been a wonderful journey. ❤

I’m so sorry you had that experience with that doctor 😩 your birth experience is something you will remember forever, also your daughter is GORGEOUS 🥹

I saw pics of her on your Instagram. She's so beautiful, and I LOVE her name! Congrats to you & Jace! 🫶🏼☀️💛💛☀️💛

Congratulations 😊 she's so precious ❤❤

I love your gallery wall (totally unrelated lol but it’s gorge) and also congrats girl!!!! Thank you for sharing your birth story! You were so right, when you’re pregnant it’s confusing bc everything feels like it could be something else. I remember the day I went into labor with my son, I just got done working and I had a pregnancy massage (I was 38 weeks) and I remember coming home and my water broke lol. That massage did it I swear!

We met at when we were young year before last and you're just the best. So so happy for you that everything went *somewhat* smoothly and that you have a beautiful healthy baby girl! Can't wait for all the kiddo content to come xoxox

I’ve had induced and non induced labour. Induced is another level of pain. They were not even comparable

I had an induction at 36 weeks with my last baby and it was 29hrs long 😩 I'm glad everything turned out okay, she is beautiful 😍 I'm so happy for you and Jayce! Enjoy your lil blessing.

Congratulations! ❤

Congratulations! Shes adorable and i love her name! My lil gal (12w old) had that same donut outfit and she already outgrew it 🥲

You're gonna be the best mom🥺

SO PROUD OF YOU!!! Childbirth is the craziest experience, literally every time and each one is so different. You did such a great job. Being a new mom is so hard but you got this. Women seriously go through so much! I labored for over 24 hours and had to push for 2.5 hours because my son was “sunny side up” and got stuck 😢 it’s so exhausting and I remember my ENTIRE body felt like I got hit by a truck the next day because all of my muscles were so so sore from straining. Like full body soreness, back, arms legs, all of it. My epidural wore off an hour before I started pushing too. No ones fault, but they couldn’t re administer it bc all the anesthesiologists were in the OR for cesareans 😭😭😭😭 I ALSO had a second degree tear and got stitched up with NO LIDOCAINE OR ANYTHING 😭😭😭😭😭😭 it was SO PAINFUL. The most painful part.

congratulations to you and Jayce you look stunning mama

Happy for your sweetie👶❤❤

Congrats! I love her name! ☺️ My baby was born may 4th! And is wearing the same outfit! 😆 it’s insane how much you love your baby! The little hands, the noises, every thing they do.. obsessed. Except not letting us sleep haha! Congrats again

Congratulations 💕

I'm so shocked about what this doctor said to you!!! I can't believe it!! But I'm also so happy for you, you seem so happy 💜💜 Would love to hear your experience on post-partum, especially as someone with mental health struggles! Lots of love for you and your beautiful family 🌻🌻

Omg soooooo sweet 🩷🩷🩷 when you said she’s used to loud noises mid story 🤣 you’re so funny

So happy she’s here and you guys are doing well❤️I had a terrible doctor too💀She told me my bmi was high and asked what I was doing in bed at 3 in the afternoon when my water broke🫠And also tried to give me an episiotomy without asking

I feel this so much 😂 I felt like I had to use the restroom and the epidural was PURE heaven. Just the best🎉

Ok other than the rude doctor… what a beautiful experience!!! And a perfect little baby to come from it. Congratulations 💖☀️

Welcome to the world Sunny!

Have you tried magnesium for the cramps? I’ve been taking it for a year and haven’t had major cramps since!! Also, the pokeball onesie?! ADORBS

i have hashimotos and i always had horrible periods and cramps. when i went into labor, my contractions were so light in comparison. my period cramps were on par with stronger contractions, not the worst part of labor for sure but definitely progressed.

congrats girly!! she is absolutely PRECIOUS ✨💌🥹 i have a toddler now but am always looking back at baby pictures, it goes by so quick! cherish every moment 💓💓

I have EDS and my epidural failed (only worked on one side for a little) and I went from 4 to a 10 in 20 minutes and NO nurse believed me! Such similar stories! Congrats she’s so so perfect

Omg congrats 🥺🥺🖤 my husband and I wish you the best

so so cute n sweet. i’m glad ur birth wasn’t super crazy!!!! 💝

Looking forward to motherhood content!!

could you talk more about your experience with being pregnant while having POTS? i have POTS and am so curious about what that could be like/how it could affect my pregnancy?

I heard we are staring to leave reviews for doctors I think your experience you should defiantly do that. Also congratulations!! ❤

Thank you for sharing your story! I think after the epidural when you can actually relax your body is able to dilate and actually have the baby, ya know? It was similar with me :) Cute baby girl!

Congratulations mama! Baby looks so gorgeous ❤ I can relate to your birth story a lot - in fact I gave birth 16th of may which isn’t that far off when you gave birth I believe. My water also broke and we went in, I was also 2 cm. Slept one night in the hospital with mild cramping/contractions during that day. The next morning around 8 they check me and I’m 3 cm, they offer to induce me with an oxytocin drip (which is the same hormone that’s already in the body that helps the contractions start). They start the drip at 12, I had lunch but could barely eat from all the nerves 😂 and around 12:45 the contractions start getting stronger. My midwife said her shift was ending at 15:00 so she won’t be delivering my baby, which made me sad because she was awesome. I sat on a yoga ball thing and breathed through the contractions, but they quickly became stronger so they gave me a laughing gas mask to use. After that all I remember is sounds and people around me, I was in such pain. Half a minute between each contraction. Basically what happened to you happened to me, only I didn’t have time to get the epidural - I went from 3-10 cm within less than an hour. I pushed for an hour to get him down and then my baby boy was born, all in all less than 3 hours from the start of the drip. When the laughing gas had worn off I was happy to see the same midwife had stayed and she was the one who got to deliver my baby. They did delayed cord clamping which actually helped with the placenta coming out so much, I barely felt it. I tore to a grade 2 which was both internal and external and I found the needles for the numbing more painful than anything so that sucked, it also took like 40 minutes for the doctor on call to come and to the stitching. It makes me angry that the doctor was so rough with you! You’ve just been through the worst pain of your life, your body is in shock from the pushing and you’ve just met your baby for the first time. Not okay, you’d think a doctor who handles different people everyday would be more compassionate! All along my pregnancy people had said the same things that oh it’s your first baby, if you get induced it will take a long time. No one tells you that it can actually go way faster and that things can progress quickly - and to trust your body! Your water had broken and you were on your way, your body knew what it had to do. That’s probably why you progressed so fast and that’s amazing and definitely not normal, at least here where I’m from (Sweden) - they told me a quick progression in dilation like this is very rare for first time mums but it indicates your body knows what it’s doing. I wish they would’ve told you that instead, words are so powerful and they can really make it break you when you’re in a vulnerable position like this. I’m so happy your baby is okay and that you’re doing okay, postpartum is no joke 😂❤

Our birth stories are almost the exact same! I got induced though. Everything went so fast after the pitocin and epidural. She's a beautiful girl 💛

So happy for you. She is precious. The doctor I had for my first birth was MIA and the ob that was that was horrid. 2nd birth at home with midwives was perfect.

congrats! was everything okay regarding the blood donation situation? I remember you talked about it in your previous video and it sounded so worrying - glad you and baby are ok!!

I hope that the hospital sent you a survey so you can say how great the nurse was and how awful the doctor was. I feel like so many doctors have no bed side manor and get away with it. Congratulations! She’s such a doll❤

So cool your water broke! They had to break mine when I hit 10cm dilated. Also super cool they did an ultrasound for your epidural. They did not for me. I had some back labor, but i didn't feel pain. I agree, i loved my epidural lol. Definitely would do it again. I labored at home until 10pm on a Tuesday. Arrived at the hospital 10:30pm. The baby came at 11:01am Wednesday! I'm sorry to hear you had a rude doctor. You did amazing!

Congratulations mommy ❤welcome to the world sunny ☀️🫶🏻👸🏼

Congrats! I’m so happy you had such a positive experience (f that doctor tho) I had a positive experience as well (baby born Feb 7th this year). ❤ I cried when your baby yawned she’s so beautiful. Good luck with motherhood you’re doing great so far!

How much did Sunny weigh, just curious because I had big babies. Congrats!!

My dr made me wait until i was 41 week, from 38 weeks on it was awful. But i had no signs of labor. No dialation at all. Also i mustve had back labor because my epidural did nothing.

So glad I got the epidural too! Except it made my legs go completely numb so they felt like foreign objects lol I had to mentally get past that feeling and be grateful I was no longer in contraction pain. I was determined not to get one but 27 hours into my laboring, I couldn’t do it anymore 🤣 he finally decided to arrive 17 hours after that 😅

Omg I hope this doesn't sound weird, but Sunny is the double of Jayce!!

That’s crazy they were ready to induce you cuz you were uncomfortable at 39 weeks!! My doctor would nottttt until 41 weeks lol. I’m so happy for you 🥰 and I felt the same about the contractions lol I didn’t feel them for so long!! Sunny is just precious

She looks so much like Jayce here!

I was so in denial when my water broke too 😂 I tried to get into bed 3 times before it really clicked. But then again it was like 5am

Oh girl…i have scoliosis and that has been my biggest fear for pregnancy lol. I am so nervous!!! 😅

Hell no I would figure out how to complain about that doctor 🤬 Also you look amazing, and thank you for showing us Sunny in this vid 🥹❤️

I had my son 18 months ago and when my water broke I really wanted a natural birth and as soon as I got in there I was like LOAD ME UP🤪

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Sooooo sweeeeeet

I had epidural 2x one for a c- section one for vaginal birth , I'd never give birth without it

But how are the boys???? How is little nixie?

My mum spent a week in L&D (granted we have universal healthcare, so it was possible) because I apparently didn't want to be born and doctors refused to do c-section even though she was 40 weeks and she asked for it, because she was too young, I get that she was 19, but damn, girl spent a week of her life there while some of the doctors tried to take me out at first and rest of them refused to be human. It was in the 90s but not much changed in many hospitals here. There are amazing ones, but there are some shitty ones when they even refuse to give you epidural or anything for pain. The only option to be sure is private hospital, but why am I paying taxes then? I'm terrified of getting pregnant one day, first of all I couldn't take any of my meds for chronic illness, but other thing, I have double scoliosis and one triangle disk that fused together with 2 others, so idk how they would put epidural in this mess if I would have to do vaginal birth (I also have something called hydromyelia, not bad case, but still). Also my ortho said that it's really bad idea for me to have vaginal birth considering how much sway back I have and something in the spine could break, it's not even the smartest for me to get pregnant at all and this is something that he told me when I was 15 (it wasn't anything inappropriate from his side, I asked him because I was curious), and my spine is worse now than it was back then. Even my neurologist said to me, quite recently, that she hopes I don't plan kids, because that would hurt a lot.. So yeah. Fun times being disabled woman almost in her 30s.

Sunny is Your Babies Name!!!! 🌞

Doctors info please... sometimes smart guys need 2 b taken down a peg r 2

CONGRATULATIONS ❤ she's gorgeous! Search for a female ob/ gyn!!!! ALL the difference! God Bless your family ❤

The way my boyfriend would have had to hold me back from knocking that man out if he said that to me 😂 I b SO angry when I’m in intense pain omg

I just came on here to say that little baby has the cutest little round head! I bet she smells so sweet. Us moms go through so much to bring little humans in the world.

Oof you're a better person than me because the way I would've told that doctor to genuinely stfu 😭😭😭

She’s precious 🥹 & I am ready to ride at dawn to go visit that doctor. That just filled me with SO much rage. How dare he take out whatever he had going on, on you at that moment in time that you’re going to remember forever. I would honestly file a complaint against him that’s unacceptable…he’s a labor and delivery doctor and you’re gonna have an attitude and talk to new moms like that?!? Unreal. Anyways…! She’s so cute, super happy for you guys! 🥰

She’s precious!! It’s nice to hear a positive birth story for a change! My baby is almost 7 weeks too - I agree, post partum blows and there’s like 0 prep for it. Also, the doctor??? Wtf 😤

She’s so happy to be awake listening to mommy’s voice 😍 That Dr? Nope. Ugggg 😡 The “girl it’s only been 30 mins” “oh 10cm!” Happens sooooo often

I would report that doctor even if it doesnt get anywhere, out of pettiness😂

That Obstetricians conduct is unacceptable. I'm so sorry he treated you like that. If you have the capacity to do so, file a report with the hospital/L&D unit. He should not have been so rough with the delivery of your baby or the placenta. Request your medical notes from your birth, as it sounds as though his conduct during your delivery, rushing baby girl and the placenta, is solely responsible for that severe of a tear. The OBs I work with ALWAYS make sure their patients are fully numbed with lidocaine and more doses of epidural before beginning ANY suturing. I'm so sorry Ash. Congratulations on the birth of your baby and I do hope this OBs conduct does not detract from the wonderful experiences you did have welcoming her.

Sooo happy for you and your tiny family 😭❤️ I’m glad your birth story was great with the exception of the woman hater doctor. Postpartum is definitely what terrified me from having another baby lol!

Could you imagine back in the day labor. Look up what chainsaws where originally created for. Its freaking nuts.

Ok I have secondhand rage for you at the dr I’m livid over what that man said. I’d like to see him try and have a period with cramps let alone an entire pregnancy AND HAVE A BABY! omg girl I am SO sorry.
