TikToker Madeleine White Claps Back at Criticism Over Daughter’s Name

One user named Autumn commented, “I was born in spring,” while another added, “My middle name is Joy, I’m yet to feel it.” 

As for Madeleine’s sarcastic response to the criticism, she warned fans: there could be more to come. 

“Y’all thought pregnant me had an attitude,” she captioned her post. “Just wait for post partum with a baby in the NICU.”

In fact, baby Juliette arrived at just 33 weeks, which is why she’s spending some time in the neonatal intensive care unit before Madeleine and Andrew can take her home.

In a video following Juliette’s birth, Madeleine also shared insight into her labor experience, which was made more complicated with her diagnosis of preeclampsia and placental abruption, and resulted in an emergency c-section. 

“I can tell you, it’s not that bad, you can do it,” she told her followers in a TikTok shared June 3 from her hospital bed. “I was laying on that operating table just thinking to myself, ‘All my friends that have had emergency c-sections—if they can do it, I can do it.’”

She continued, “And any uncomfortableness is irrelevant the moment you see your baby. Like, I laid on the operating table over an hour after she was born, and I didn’t even notice because I was just watching her the whole time. It was the most magical, best experience of your whole life.”

So much so that she’s overcome with emotion every time she goes to visit her. 

“She’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me,” Madeleine concluded. “It’s so worth it.”
