Thanks for watching! ❤
I'm only 21 and nowhere near getting pregnant but your videos are so honest and positive, definitely something I will come back to when it's my time! I hope you know the great impact you have on others❤️
These videos are SOOO helpful to me as a woman considering having a baby in the next couple of years!
Happy Sunday guys! So excited to chat to you all about boobs. mental health, relationships, peeing and so much more!
Thank you for talking about everything in so much detail! Pregnancy creeps me out SO much, so it really helps hearing you talk about exactly what it feels like when the milk goes in and that your vagina hurts at the end of the day. Stuff like that is exactly what I want to know about pregnancy and having a baby! So thank you x
Honestly, it's not as creepy as you think! xx
Thank you for your honesty. Honestly, the most REAL update. Because so many RUclipsrs say 'keeping it real' and they still don't so I and many of us really appreciate the fact that you genuinely are real xxx
Your videos are always so enjoyable! I'm neither a mum, nor am I much into fitness but watching your content at the start of a day really inspires me to push for whatever goals I've set myself!
It's completely understandable if this isn't possible with time restrictions of a new baby at the moment, but a "day in the life" style vlog would be lovely!
This is why I love you, so true and honest. Thankyou for everything you do!! I always smile with your videos :)
My first was "scream, eat, scream, eat, poop, scream" no sleep during the day, only when we were walking and for three or four hours at night. And the second one was the perfect newborn. Newborn stage is very different for everyone.
moominesque I had one like that, horrendous colic day and night. It's easy for parents of 'good' newborns to say it's not that bad and there won't be lots of tears etc, but unfortunately it's a very different story for those of us with high-needs babies (particularly if you don't have a partner at home during the week to help). The toddler years are very tiring in their own way, but much more fun!
Hehe, its so crazy how different! xx
agreed x
Thank you for speaking about all these topics. Especially pelvic floor which I think (being a mum of three and also a gynecologist) is really important and women often don't get enough information on that even from health professionals.
I had a terrible fourth trimester and I am so grateful a nurse finally told me to just stop trying to breastfeed because I think I would've sunk deeper into postnatal depression for sure. Sometimes being persistent just doesn't pay off. The pain from mastitis plus the sleepless nights and my screaming son were just like hell for me. You are so right about limiting the amount of information and advice, I know everybody meant well but what is best for some can be very bad for others. Great video as always
I love your honesty. And we have to keep in mind that everyone is different, no need to feel pressured😊☀️
Exactly, every person will have a different experience xx
LOVED this video so much! My first little one is 4 months in about a week! I agree with everything you said! I always tell myself that it’s just a phase and it’s just temporary. I keep reminding myself that I’m going to miss her being this old so just to soak it all in. 💛 Thank you for your authenticity! I appreciate and love all of your advice and videos!
This is so refreshing and reassuring to hear someone speak so positively about motherhood 🤍
Aww, I'm currently 9 and a half weeks post partum and the 4th trimester hasn't been too bad thanks to my super supportive husband, family and friends. Thats the only reason why i've been able to churn out some videos and blogposts.
We went on our first flight last week and my Baby didn't even cry once during the 6 hours, only got fussy when we landed and they took forever to open the doors.
My plan is to exclusively breastfeed for 6 months, love how pumping allows me go out and get things done without having my little one with me.
I gained a whopping 20kg after never weighing past 56kg all my adult life, got down to 66kg after 3 weeks post partum, started exercising on Friday, let's see how much more I can drop before the end of the fourth trimester. Going to try out your exercise videos and get a skipping rope 😊
Love your honesty and openness about this - I was always worried about having children and going through pregnancy and labour when I was growing up, to the point that I swore off it. Now that I'm older I really enjoy learning more about it all from amazing people like yourself and really can't thank you enough! You make me excited to go through this experience in the future. You've helped me get over my fears. Thank you!! Xx
Oh honestly it makes you so proud of yourself, you would love it! xx
Amazing xx you are such an inspiration because of your outlook on everything and for sharing about topics like this
Thank you so much xx
Just love how you are Carly, the way you remain positive is so inspiring 💞
Literally started doing the kegels when you said those who are not pregnant should do it too.
I'm a physiotherapist so I know pelvic floor care is important but I neglect it sometimes. Also kegels isn't the only exercise for the pelvic floor of course but it's a good start!
Hehe!! Everyone should but it's so easy to forget xx
So lovely to see you so happy and sharing all the infos for all the mummies out there!
You seem to have truly handled everything like a trooper! You should be very proud of your little family! Xxx
A real, honest and beautiful video! Thanks for sharing it 🙏🏻💕
You had a very different fourth trimester than I did Carly, mine was extremely tough and I didn’t think I would make it through. Obviously I did and 4 months in I love it and things are 100 times easier!
Lol peeing myself!! So true, #momlife I can totally relate
Loved hearing you chat, we love your honesty! You’re looking good :)
Its wonderful you've had such a positive fourth trimester experience (and your attitude makes a huge difference). I took care of my pelvic floor right away too, never had any leaks at all, even when I was cleared for physical exercise at 5 weeks. However, we had such a rough go for the fourth trimester with a baby that wouldn't sleep much (only 12 hours a day for a newborn! he sleeps more now at 1 years old, crazy!!) and needed to be held by someone.
Oh its so crazy how difficult it can be, well done for being such an amazing mum xx
We all just try our best. I really appreciate the positivity you bring to motherhood. It is such a breath of fresh air.
My little boy is 4 weeks old today :) thanks for such a positive video which has reminded me how wonderful it is to have this wee one in my life. Even though the lack of sleep is hard! My mantra needs the be “ it’s just a phase...! X
Love your videos so much Carly! My big little baby is turning 11 and I wish I had known and has this kind of support when I had him. It's nice to know these videos are there for any future little ones.
Aw loved this Carly!! I need to film my birth story & the first 6 weeks and now the 4th trimester... oops!!
I've just started to follow you, your work, and your journey! Thank you for all your advice and honest content!
Thank you so much for following me xx
I've never had a baby! but this was so interesting and saving for when I do have a bub
Thank you so much, so glad you still wanted to watch this xx
So honest and such a beautiful human always
Hi Carly, love what you do and relying on your advice. Could you share links to your pelvic exercise videos?
Thanks for this video Carly! I am 27 weeks right now with my first so I love watching your journey as a new Mum! ❤️
So excited for you! How are you feeling? xx
@@CarlyRowena thank you! Feeling so much better than first trimester. Excited to meet our little one!
Love this honest chat about the 4th trimester. My little one is currently 10 weeks and its not all sleepless nights and crying its amazing. Yes its hard at times but you hit the nail on the head, its all just a phase. Xx
Congrats on your little one xx
literally legendary
Great Video! Could you do a newborn essentials reviewing all your „ big baby items“ would Love to hear about your experience when i have to make all these decisions soon...
It's like you read my mind, COMING this week! xx
Amazing!! You are such an inspiration :)
Could you do a video on pelvic floor exercises without equipment. I've had 2 kids and although I don't pee myself all the time I have done and I'm never sure if I'm doing exercises right. But you have a way of explaining things that I think will make it easier. X
The Squeezy app from the NHS is great. Totally worth the money (it's only the price of two coffees!). It describes how to do the exercises and gives you daily reminders. I've never managed 3 times a day but it has made me do it daily for months and definitely made a difference.
❤️❤️❤️ I’ve actually been working on my pelvic floor since I was about 15, when I read an article about this and what to do. Obviously I had no equipment as such but even when I had a UTI I never peed myself. I haven’t had a baby yet but hopefully will get there within a year or two and I look forward to purchasing one do these little helpful toys :)
Oh i'm sure you'll be amazing, keep us posted xx
Such great advice again Carly ❤️️
Hey Carly! Can I ask how you managed to keep up your prenatal fitness with pelvic girdle pain and what kind of excersise you did? I have loved working out during pregnancy but since I got PGP everything hurts apart from verrry gentle yoga. Thanks x
Looking gorgeous in this video babe!!
I really want to buy the elvie trainer, but it‘s way too expensive for me 🙁
you're a beautiful person, inside and out!
You're so inspiring!💚thankYou
Thank YOU for supporting x
I think the experience of having a baby can be so different for everyone depending on your baby and your own personality. Our now 15 month old had reflux which made feeding incredibly different. With each feed he would throw up and so making sure he actually got milk was a real circus of pumping and then oversupply issues. I can hand on heart say newborn was so much more difficult than any other stage we have encountered. And I am still breastfeeding my 15 month old so it is nothing to do with breastfeeding struggles. So to any mums who might be struggling during newborn stages, it does get better x
So many of my friends have had reflux and silent reflux you have done an amazing job xxx
I'm not pregnant or even thinking about kids right now, but this is great
How many of us started doing pelvic floor exercises when she started saying she doesn't per herself? I've had 3 kids and when I need a wee I need a wee so I really need to remember to do my pelvic floors.
Hehe, i know the feeling! xx
Is it safe to use the kegal weight while pregnant?
Thanks for sharing and your honesty🙏🏻 How did you go with your pelvic floor trainer just after having Jax? I’m 2.5 years postpartum and I’ve got the same trainer but I can’t hold it in (sorry about the TMI!) Did you experience the same? How often do you you use it? Do you just do the pre-set program? Thanks😊
I totally did, it fell out at first but i persisted and do it 5x a week and it now stays in after 3 weeks xx
Carly Rowena thanks for responding Carly!
Tqsm for this
Nice I always watch your video , but I wish u should show practical how u did perform your perveric flow exercises , I remember u have included some in your previous video like belly breathing , I wish u should dedicate a video on all perveric flow exercises u have done . Thanks
Thank you for watching, i will always show what I can but obviously cannot film pelvic floor exercises as would need to show my vagina, totally inappropriate for youtube x
@@CarlyRowena thanks Carly for replying, am sorry I did not mean to show sensitive part , I was just like I need more exercises , which I believe you will share with us as much as can , keep up & much loveeee
Do you know what I find weird. When someone has baby everyone asks about the baby. How are they, are they difficult, sleep,feed, even pooing pattern. No one genuinely asks how is the parents how is the mum feeling. Apart from the stereotypes statement and assumption. For example I'm single never been pregnant. My pal had a daughter 3 yrs ago. Now i obviously congratulated her when she'd announced on fb the birth of her daughter. But then left it for a few days then dropped her a txt asking her how she was feeling. If she had any difficulties etc. I didn't ask about her daughter. She told me she had breastfeeding difficulties and she her milk was weak. I then adviced her that it would take a few days for her milk to come through. Also because of aunt experience I knew you need to have a diet for breastfeeding and watch what your eating like can't have to much fish etc. I asked her if her midwife visited or advice her. She's like no this was like a week in after birth. So then I asked her to phone the mid wife and ask for a visit. As I knew from my aunt again that midwife visits sooner. Turns out the midwife hadn't gave my pal advice on stuff I told her and due to my insistence of her to call the midwife. Cx I told her you need to get checked to etc. Then she called and the midwife emergency visited and apologies because she was to visit earlier. Another thing was I live in Glasgow my friend in Perth at the time. Just by the chats I had and advice. She was surprised. Because she was just getting the normal assumption stuff from parents. No one asked her how she is. So meanwhile she was confused as a new mum. Then felt embarrassed to ask for help and I came as a pleasant surprise. Since I'm not a mum. But she still got the help she needed. I'm not blowing my on trumpet. I just found it weird and bad for my friend. It's just a simple act and question. It's like those ad we watch for suicide prevention of asking people how are they. I know that's kinda a serious thing to use as a example. But I find it stupid how no one just ask the mum and dad how are you. That was what my friend was most grateful for . I didn't once ask about her daughter. Then I told her that I didn't do ask because her daughter had my friend and a dad. But obviously to me Iona was a new mum so I was concerned who is caring for her. After that I just left a open door for Iona . So I told her you need help/advice just txt. Then I dropped txt here and there. So that she knew I was there for her but not overbearing her. We can prevent so much feelings of isolation, embarrassment, post-natal depression, stress. By just showing compassion and kindness to the mum and dad. Instead of just focusing on the baby. Parents are vulnerable to not just a new born . Sending positive energy and prayers xx
Did you use any protein/supplements while pregnant and breastfeeding what is safe ??
Yes! I used Blue Iron, pregnacare and magnesium xx
wish id seen this after my first x
Can we do kegels (without the device) from the first week post partum?
I’m 36 weeks and really struggling with the amount of stretch marks I have! I just want them to go away! I know everyone says to be positive about them but I hate them!
what lipstick are u wearing? i love it!
Oh it's Ctilbury duchess xx
Carly Rowena thank u so much!! xx
Newborn stage is definitely the easiest! Even with your first. When they start to get mobile it’s a loooooottttt harder to keep up with everything else. I thought myself hand embroidery during the first three months, I was that bored. 😂😂😂 Now I can’t even go to the loo on my own, but 11-month-old would not tolerate a door between us.
Oh and one more thing: my gynaecologist advised me NOT to do pelvic floor training during pregnancy, as birth can be a lot harder with a tight muscle (makes sense to me). My birth was great and I needed one stitch. I’ve only started doing pelvic floor exercises after birth and I don’t have any peeing accidents. Just a thought! x
Hey doll! I have a question about pelvic floor... I've been in menopause since a very young age (33)... does your pelvic floor change with menopause? Does it get weaker as we age? Not sure if you know, but thought I'd ask! Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us!
It shouldn't change with the onset of menopause, but if you aren't actively working on that strength it will get weaker with age, just like any muscle.
As far as i know it shouldn't change with menopause but its a muscle that needs strengthening xx
Love your channel!!! I’m 5 months into my pregnant. I’m an extreme fitness kinda gal and thankfully still goin strong (with reason). I was wondering, postpartum, assuming I have a vaginal birth like you, did you really have to stop exercising for an entire month? It seems so unbearable :(.
Congratulations on your bump!! I decided to go the 6 weeks without as i knew my body needed it, i just walked and concentrated on pelvic floor x
The pump and pelvic floor toner are great, but not always in peoples available price range
:( Also, I love fitness and do feel pressure to maintain ky exercise schedule as it is a big part of who I am like it is for you too. Do you have any feedback for those who want to work out but can't as much as they would like to? This is both pregnancy and non pregnancy related. Life can get in the way, and my pregnancy means that energy levels dip..I have gone from 5 to 2 WODS per week and I miss it, but need to listen to my body too. It is a struggle, as I feel like the more I do now to enjoy exercise and keep baby healthy will mean that post baby it won't seem like such a mountain of weight loss to climb x
Totally understand that they're expensive which is why i did all i could to get discounts for everyone xx
Hi carly,during ma pregnancy ma belly button came completely out.now am 4 months postpartum still my belly button is out only.. Please help me,, am very worried about it.. Pls
Mine is still similar, if you're really worried speak to your GP x
Okay dear.. Still i look like 4 months pregnant, but regularly am doing excercise taught by my doctor & by searching many videos youtube....pls share me the effective one & breathing technic..
Thanks for sharing. I have some friends that are going to have a baby and I never got my other friends that had a baby any food. I love to help but I don't like to impose so I just said if they needed anything for them to say but they never asked for anything. But I'm doing some homemade lasagna and taking to these friends when they have the baby =)
Oh yes, food is always the best! xx
really helpful video, thanks! by the way, you're looking good.
💘
I've been recommended if baby prefers one side, you can bring them round your body, so they are in the same orientation, to feed on the other side but in the same position. Not advice as sounds like you're a feeding pro!
Just do pilates for pelvic floor
Pilates is fabulous!
Love this!! Elvie trainer - you mean 6 weeks pregnant not 6 weeks post partum to start it? Xx
I waited until 6 weeks postpartum to start as I wanted to heal before inserting anything due to my stitches xx
2nd
If only the elvie was cheap 😭 works out to $242ish AUD with the discount
The elvie isn't the only way to strengthen your pelvic floor. She's talking about it because it's a sponsorship. Do some quick research and invest in some kegel beads (loads of companies make them) and/or see a physiotherapist/physical therapist.
Exactly, lots of different ways to work it, i first worked my PF without anything xx@@vieve9292
