I feel so comforted by them just saying "What's up Dudes!" Matt and Abby are like my comfort channel, and now that they have a podcast, It's great, because they don't post all the time on their main channel! Thank you Matt and Abby for being such a big and meaningful part of my life!

Just throwing it out there, midwives are trained for shoulder dystocia and many other “emergent” things. Midwives are constantly seeking further education and bettering themselves, learning and work so hard. Many O.b’s don’t even do that! Just want people aware of how amazing home birth midwives are. Many are just fantastic so wanted that put out there. ❤️

No body can give this man hate about being disappointed about sex expectations when Abby was pregnant cause at the end of the day every single man has the same thoughts. Matt just says everything on his mind without a filter. So at least he’s HONEST!

it feels very comforting to hear abby talk about how she’s wanted to be a mother all her life. i’ve felt the same way since i was a child and used to feel embarrassed telling others that i want to be a full-time mother. now, im not! heheh and it’s cool to hear someone that isn’t too. 🥰🥰 love you guys!!
-
It made me laugh when you talked about leaving the hospital. After our first child, my husband looked at me so seriously and said "wait, they just let us leave alone with her like this?" 😂 She will be 17 in July and I still remember it word for word because I had never seen him so serious.

I live in the Netherlands. Home birth is pretty normal here. The midwives are trained and it's just as safe as in the hospital. I love the part that we have postpartum care, a nurse will help for like a week and check your stitches and help with breastfeeding and taking care of the baby. Mostly my partner learned so much from her when I was in bed recovering.

I’m 37 with 3 kids and still feel like a 16 year old teenager just young and in love with my boyfriend (now husband) and always think “who left me in charge of these 3 kids?!” Also, time just keeps going faster! I remember when we were a family of 3 with a 6 month old and now our kids are 12, 10 and 4! Love you guys!
-
I got emotional when Matt said he looks a women so different now and how he so proud of his wife for giving birth and I’m glad I’m not he only one that didn’t cry after having my babies 😊
-
I feel Abby on the “love made me emotional” sentiment. Ever since my boyfriend and I have been together, I’ve been soooo emotional and just reveling in the true, deep love we have together. He can look at me a certain way and it makes me tear up. I feel weird at times but good to know I’m not alone!
-
I think it is amazing how open you both are with everything that you have been through. I know many couples/parents that can hardly be this open with each other let alone thousands of people online. I can tell your trust and faith is making you the best parents for him.
-
Listening to you talk about this makes me emotional. My daughter is about to be 1 so you talking about this is making me remember my birthing experience. It's so emotional and I love how raw y'all are about this.
-
Watching you guys brings back so many memories. I'm an old guy I lost my wife last year after almost 42 years of marriage. My kids have grown up and moved on with their lives. Just as you two have done with your parents. I've got grand-kids that I don't get to see that often. This house is quiet when once it was so full of life. Hold on to each other make plans but be open to life changing them in the blink of an eye. Hopefully you won't grow old with nothing but the memories.
-
I love how kind and polite you both are to each other. Your relationship is such a good example for other young people.
-
I love that Matt takes so much joy in seeing Abby’s self-growth about her body image. He clearly cares so much. What an incredible couple!
-
I’m not going to lie I truly love watching these podcast. You both are so real and talk so vulnerably. I truly appreciate it.
-
me crying at 22:00. this family is so sweet, and im glad i found you guys. i hope the best for your fam in the years to come!
-
Abby you were the one that made me feel comfortable and confident in my body when I was pregnant! You helped me appreciate what my body was doing!
-
Time is accelerating guys. I've been married 4 years this month and my wife and I have been "together" for 7 years in total. We're hoping to start our family soon, so your timing for these chats is much appreciated! Love from the UK.
-
Thank you for talking about this! I’m 22 and pregnant with my first child, boy too, and hearing your story helps me relate to someone my age when sometimes it can feel isolating. Love y’all!
-
i feel like we’re legit friends when i’m listening to y’all’s podcast, i love it❤
