A woman has spoken of the moment her childbirth experience was 'ruined' thanks to her mother-in-law, who took intimate pictures of the birth and sent them out to family members. YouTuber Bramty Juliette recalled her mother-in-law's antics in a recent podcast uploaded onto her channel, The Bramfam.
During the 'Bramtea' episode, she sat next to her husband Luis Espina - who also co-hosts the show - and openly discussed the nitty gritty details of the first time she gave birth to her daughter Penelope in 2015, when she was 19-years-old.
Before Bramty explained exactly what happened, she revealed that at the time, she was having some 'issues' with Luis' mum. She said: "I was giving birth to Penelope and I let [Luis'] mum be in the room to watch me give birth, which was also a huge issue. I was like, 'I don't want your mom in the room, I only want you.'"
Luis quickly informed listeners: "She didn't get along with my mom at that time." Bramty went on: "I only [wanted] you and my mum in the room for emotional support."
However, it would seem Luis kept insisting that his mother be in the room with her, despite Bramty's wishes. She told fans: "He didn't really understand that when you give birth, it's about the wife, it's about the mum.
"She's the one giving birth. She's the one going through things physically and mentally." Luis then interjected, seemingly learning from his mistakes: "Whatever she's comfortable with is the most important."
Bramty added: "At the moment my water breaks, I go to the hospital, my first time giving birth, I'm f****** 19-years-old. I remember having contractions and I was like, 'I'm gonna do a birth without epidural,' so I tried to push it through as long as I could.
"And at the time, I was just so focused on my contractions that literally we had my mum, you, your mum, your brother, and your aunt who I never f****** spoke to in my whole f****** life in the room watch my birth."
Defending his family, Luis added: "'Cause it's Cuban people... They just want to be involved, they think everything's just fine, nothing's taboo."
Bramty continued: "I wish you would have had my back back then, like, 'All right, Bramty, you're about to give birth, everybody out, only what my wife wants,' but you didn't have that mentality. You had your mum's back most of the time."
She then revealed: "So I just remember I wasn't even involved with who was in the room, I remember pushing and I remember your f****** mum and your aunt taking pictures of my vagina while I am pushing, then to later find out that your aunt had sent those pictures to family members."
The conversation from Bramty and Luis' podcast was shared on TikTok, and quickly it became a major talking point for viewers who rushed to the comment section to react. Mar replied: "My soul left my body when u said they sent those pictures around... That is so unacceptable."
Whitneyxoxoxo1 added: "Wait she said HIS brother? ABSOLUTELY NOT and on top of that you taking pics and sending them out? Yeah NO!!" Soniulala exclaimed: "Brother ????? Aunt ??????? I would lose my mind."
Les put: "That’s so messed up about his aunt." Kiana Gonzalez typed: "The way I would’ve had security escort EVERYBODY but my mom out for that lmao good riddance." Jessica Garcia penned: "Oooh helllll noooooooo! They sent your pic’s to other family members, that is messed up!!!"
