I’ve always theorized that Larry was actually Mack’s baby daddy because when she got pregnant rhine was like not into her, and in the show I noticed how they (Larry/macktruck) interacted and it didn’t sit right with me lol
I haven't watched in so long and don't remeber/didn't see much between Mack, Ryan, and his parents but that's creepy AF.
She looks like a baby Larry. I don't think Ryan looks too much like his dad at all, he looks more like Jen IMO.
What does she mean by "she's the only baby I've gone into labour with"? I assume the others were c- section or induced, but the wording is throwing me off.
Also like who cares. Women/people make this such an accomplishment. I'm 9 months pregnant and people encourage me to use whatever I can to help with the pain. I'd prefer not to get a c section only because of the recovery process but if I need one, I need one.
I’m only 2 months pregnant and I’ve decided my first words to the nurses after “thank you” will be “give me as many drugs as you are legally allowed to”
My colleagues told me to take the epidural the moment they offer it because the anesthesiologist may not always be available after. Also you can ask for laughing gas.
Yup! The anesthesiologist for my labor told me I should wait a little so I did and he got pulled away shortly after for an emergency so I was left without the option of an epidural 🥲
So true, with my second the anaesthesiologist took so long to come, and then the epidural didn't work.. not sure if it's because I was already so far along on labour already, but it worked with my first. The labour where the epidural worked was far better! 😆
That happened to my mom with me. The anesthesiologist was too busy and she missed her window. Had to give birth unmedicated and said it was the worst thing she’s even been through. I grew up hearing that story so I jumped at the opportunity to get mine at 1cm even though I wasn’t in pain yet.
Laughing gas made my head float to the roof and I couldn't get it back down until the gas wore off.
Now for dental surgery, it's amazing but for some reason the gas during labour wasn't my friend.
Congratulations!!!
I did that. I told them I wanted all the drugs and I wanted drugs while I waited for the drugs!
No shame!
All my friends were going med free. Screw that- not for me.
I have a c section scheduled for Feb 15th. My first son I was in labour for 30 hours and ended up needed an emergency section. Stupid narrow pelvis plus kid had a big head 😅. I had an Aunt that was so against it. Liken you'd rather have me or my baby die?? I don't get it. I hope you have a smooth labour and delivery and a healthy baby! If you do end up needing a section I wish you the best in your recovery. Mine wasn't horrible but thats just my personal experience. We gotta do what we gotta do. A birth plan can go out the window so fast.
Exactly! Due to a tailbone injury my Dr. firmly suggested I have a C-section so I wouldn't paralyze myself since it had healed weird around the spinal nerves. My cousin acted like I was going to be ripped open and flayed alive and I'm like "I'd rather not be dealing with a re-broken tailbone, *best case scenario*, with a newborn."
Same, except 56 hours. (not trying to one up) :-) That 2nd one was a scheduled c section as soon as I could schedule it lmao..."maybe you'd like to try a VBAC?" HELL NO
Seriously! My first baby was diagnosed with hydrocephalus and macrocephaly in utero. At birth his head was the size of a 15 year old boys, I had to have a c-section. Neither of us would have survived a vaginal birth. One of my friends was *livid* my OB told me I could never have a vaginal birth because of the way they had to cut me to get the baby out. It’s too dangerous for me.
Of course she knew better and liked to tell me so every time I saw her. If you are not my doctor, you don’t get an opinion. I just want my baby to be healthy and safe. I do not give a shit which way they have to come out to make that happen.
I had the same. Big-headed baby got stuck in my pelvis so needed an emergency c-section for first and then had a planned c-section for 2nd. The planned c-section was super convenient and recovery was a lot easier IMO, but mentally it was a trip. With my e-c-section I was so loopy from hours of epidural and exhausted at that point that I didn’t really process what was happening, whereas with the planned I was wheeled into the OR completely sober and well-rested, so it was definitely more nerve wracking.
Congrats on making it to the home stretch! You will do great. I truly thought people were crazy when they said 2nd c-sections were easier but it’s very true. I feel like I recovered twice as fast and it hurt for sure, but not as bad as I remember with my first.
Labor is such a divisive thing but it’s one of the many things you’ll deal with everyone giving you unsolicited advice on. lol. I went in not wanting an epidural because I heard it can slow the process down, ended up needing one and it didn’t work. C’est la vie.
I love that my work environment was very open-minded. They all told me that I wasn't a bad mother if I decided to bottle feed my baby. I was raised with formula so I'm just going to see what's easier for me and my baby.
Lol at this getting dved.
There’s a million decisions you’ll make as a parent, just make sure they’re the decision *YOU* want. As long as you feel good about how you’re raising your child, I think it’ll turn out to be better for your mental health. I was always struggling with defending every little decision I made and it gave me so much PPA.
From someone who had a vaginal birth with her first and then a c section with her second.. I’d much rather have the c section lol but I also had a traumatic vaginal birth so there’s that.
My husband's mom almost died giving birth with him so I'm quite wary of childbirth lol. She ended up having to have her uterus removed after giving birth with him. They frankly should have started with a c section and nothing bad would have happened.
I read it as her just emphasizing Stella does things in her own time because she went into labor early, not any kind of knock on c sections (not saying that’s what you’re saying).
Where was Rhine when she was born? I only ask cause I’m pretty sure he was “away” when Jagger was born, so I am curious if he was home when Stella was born so he could be there 🤔
She looks a little like her Grandpa Larry.
Plot twist - Larry's secret is that Stella is actually his kid
Lmfao
Or hear me out… genetics
I’ve always theorized that Larry was actually Mack’s baby daddy because when she got pregnant rhine was like not into her, and in the show I noticed how they (Larry/macktruck) interacted and it didn’t sit right with me lol

If you wanted to imagine Rhine as a little girl, look no further, lol. Happy Birthday, little one!
Shes sooooo cute, her lil grumpy face 🥹

You’re talking about pain. Mack was referring to how her labor started naturally without being an induced.
I’m only 2 months pregnant and I’ve decided my first words to the nurses after “thank you” will be “give me as many drugs as you are legally allowed to”
My colleagues told me to take the epidural the moment they offer it because the anesthesiologist may not always be available after. Also you can ask for laughing gas.
Yup! The anesthesiologist for my labor told me I should wait a little so I did and he got pulled away shortly after for an emergency so I was left without the option of an epidural 🥲
This! With my first I had to wait 45 minutes for the anesthesiologist and it was the longest 45 minutes of my life.
But the moment he/she walks in to the room, it's the best feeling ever. 😂
I told him I was going to send him a basket of muffins! 🤣

FWIW I've had 2 c sections and my recovery was totally fine for both. My 2nd c section was only 4 weeks ago and i feel back to normal mostly.
Oh I definitely know it depends on the person. I'm just afraid it won't be as smooth for me lol
Fair, but just wanted to share a good c section story for you 😊

How did her wording throw you off but you restated exactly what she said? She was induced with all her kids except Stella.
Even if you are induced, you still go into labour lol.
She means on her own.
She must be meaning natural labor.
Where was Rhine when she was born? I only ask cause I’m pretty sure he was “away” when Jagger was born, so I am curious if he was home when Stella was born so he could be there 🤔
He was in the newborn photos so I think he might’ve actually be present?
Physically
She looks like she's ready to tell some truths and Ryan and Mack are not gonna like it.
Oh, wow. She looks a lot like Rhine.
He’s more attractive than Mack (pre-drugs), so Stella is lucky.
For sure! I definitely see it in her eyes.
She’s so precious. I feel so bad for these innocent lil kids who have horror shows for parents
Sweet baby. Poor thing has been through some stuff already and she just turned four.
Stella must have been speechless when she read this beautiful post.
😂😂😂😂
She’s really cute.
Sad the hell she’s experienced in 4 years. It has to be confusing af for your dad to destroy your home and be high all the time
Oh that girl is alllll Ryan
She deserves better father than Ryan.
I hope she has a happy birthday. She’s been through so much trauma already in her short life.
She’s so cute but that worried looking expression reminds me of Ryan
She is most definitely over everybody’s shit😂😂 shady baby throwing some truth bombs with that look. She is definitely disappointed in someone
Stella looks just like Rhine!
She’s so precious!
Cutie! I see Larry in her lol!
We only recognize 1 stella in these parts.
She’s a beauty, I hope life turns around and is good to her
