I had a great experience. Were you strapped down? Yeah. Yeah, they have to strap you down. Yeah, because I was just like, this is... Wait, did you have a C-section? I had a C-section. I couldn't have a vaginal. Like, it would have been too risky for... Oh, okay. Mm-hmm. So, yeah, I thought it was the weirdest. You hated the experience. I don't like not being in control and being strapped down.
It wasn't bad. Our doctor was great, but I remember she wanted a smaller scar, so they pushed her back in, our daughter Zadie, and then moved her to kind of even her out. And so I just remember them pushing so aggressively, and I'm just here, and I felt like I couldn't talk, so I was like... Like the quietest I've ever been in my entire life. Oh, really? And he's like, she's here. And I'm like...
Wait, why couldn't you talk? I don't know.
I just thought it was weird when you just see your stomach rolling.
I remember that feeling. I was like... Man, I feel like they could do better for women because I still feel like I'm in a sci-fi movie again. That felt sci-fi. And like the white lights and there's no like clouds on the ceiling.
It's just like you're strapped down and you're just like this and they're just like moving you and you're just like, I don't know, like can they, yeah, can they decorate so I could look at a cloud on the wall?
I went into, like, a hypo. Like, I started shaking. They had to warm me up.
But it happened after I got the epidural. They always say everything's normal. I think there's, like, 25 things that can go. Yeah.
Did you have water in, like, a certain area? Yeah. like in my body yeah so after all my water in my stomach just like went back and i had just like a back bump and it was just water it was like a hump i didn't know that was a thing oh they were like that's normal i'm like how do you get it out what do you do and they're like oh i don't it'll just naturally come out so like most people have like
yeah I had lots of that no I had like maybe a little but I had a hump in my back I'm like why did it go to my back I need to know like give women tips so like when we're on it maybe I arched my back too much maybe I was fighting I don't know I've never heard of that yeah but honestly like you said nothing could surprise me no they say anything could happen yeah wait that's crazy like someone told me that their gums were bleeding and that's how they knew they were pregnant and I was like
Matt looks so upset right now with this conversation. He's traumatized.
We had done enough IVF rounds where we had more eggs left. So I think it was just figuring out when. So we started filming about, was it a week or a week and a half after giving birth? I was back to full production. Oh my goodness. Oh my. So I didn't really have... After a C-section? Yeah. Holy cow. So here's another hack.
The C-section is also where the same area where you have your colon removed... So I had already had three surgeries in that area. So I built up a tolerance. So I actually, like, I remember when I had my colon removed, the pain there, but I was very used to that area having surgery. Oh, wow. So it wasn't as.
Yeah, same one. So, yeah. That's wild. I know. So for me, the recovery of a C-section wasn't that bad. And I think I was running. I was cleared to run. My doctor came over to make sure it was healed, but about two weeks.
Because she's so feisty. It's because I'm feisty. I think I just wanted to try to get back to normal.
brain fog for probably like six months and i didn't even realize i was in it till we got out of it totally i was like oh like what just happened because i think we're just at like survival mode as you know like just trying to do it we're trying to keep up all of our content we have a production company and it was just it was just like i just have to i have no choice what are those filming hours like
So right now, on my channel, we do six videos a month. And so we take about three days for production for that channel. And then we do four videos.
Three days a week for my channel. And then we usually have one or two other days, and that's for content for YouTube. his channel, and I have a second channel. So we do 20 videos a month, YouTube videos.
About nine to six.
Yeah, nine to six. And then we have Zadie popping in and out. So it's kind of, if we're shooting at home, it's a lot easier because she's there. And we have a nanny on our production days.
