I just stumbled upon this video and am 7 weeks pregnant and very much in that shell of a person, sick all day long phase. Seeing you describe this and eventually start feeling better is so reassuring and I feel so much less alone hearing you describe exactly what I’m going through. I lay in bed all day while my family just figures out managing life without me. So grateful to realize it is normal because my first pregnancy I was not sick at all so I can feel like something is wrong with me feeling like this this time around. So thank you for sharing your journey and helping me not feel alone.
The moment you told Rich was so so sweet! I appreciate how open you are about your experience, it's helpful for future moms and for people (like me) who don't have close friends/ sisters that were pregnant and who don't know what they might be getting themselves into.
It is normal here too, and common amongst my friends. I think our parents' generation could have bigger age gaps between kids because they started having kids much younger and I think when one is at school etc it makes it easier, than having two at home. It's all lovely in the end no matter the age gap. Also, I was worried for nothing, noone judged... lol
I have a three year age gap between my youngest and middle, an eight year gap from my middle and youngest and an 11 year gap from my youngest to eldest. They all have huge benefits and the only downfall I’ve found is that hand-me-downs are out of style by the time our baby can wear them! 🤣
I’m not pregnant, not planning on getting pregnant and not even in a relationship but these types of videos are one of my favourites to watch. Thank you for being so honest and open about your experience, sending lots of love to you, Rich, Grey and baby boy! 💛
Hey Lily 🤗 this wasn’t a negative video at all - thank you for sharing and for being so open and honest. That bleeding incident must have been so so scary for you, sorry you had to go through that and sorry to anyone else who might see this comment that has lost a baby 😔 I hope you’re doing ok - eeeeeeek, it’s so exciting 🥰 xxx
I’m one of three children and we are all two years apart, born 92, 94 and 96 and the majority of the time we got on very well! Loved this vid, I’m being induced next week with my first baby as I’m currently 41+2 and no sign! 😫 Wishing you all the best x
I had bleeding almost exactly like that with my son at similar weeks and when I went to the doctor he told me I was loosing it and as it was my first child I just believed it. When I went for the scan little bean was jumping away in there and made so happy and relieved. I had never heard of bleeding like that before and it was very scary so it's good you have talked about it. Pleased bubs is well and you're feeling better ☺️❤️
Exactly the same happened to me. But I was 14 weeks. Was told after an internal examination by a young male dr in A&E I’d lost my baby. Had to wait until the Monday to have a scan as the hospital department was closed over the weekend..... I cried with so much joy to see my healthy perfect baby girl alive and kicking. 💗
I wonder if it’s with boys? Iv been trying to see in the comments if anyone else said it. I was very fortunate that the nurse in A&E was amazing and was passing by when she heard me crying. She was a specialist and didn’t need to help me but it was going to be 4 hour wait on blood work. I will be forever grateful for her.
Same too, but I had a girl. I passed a 50p sized clot which the GP had said after I had phoned them initially to call back if I that happened and I thought the same there’s no way a baby could be there with the amount of blood I had passed and there she was happy as Larry! Another thing you don’t get told but better to be safe than sorry to get checked out when you’re allowed too
Congratulations on the news its a boy .. Im 56 ..had my babies many moons ago ..but still loved listening to your journey..Brought back so many memories Xx
I'm not sure if this is helpful but I never think you are being negative in a video until you make a disclaimer about it. We like you how you are Lily! Stop apologizing :) Very happy for you Grey and Rich. All the best wishes for you guys and lots of joy!
I was literally in tears when you spoke about the fear in your 10th week. Even though everything is fine, that feeing… fragility is so real. So happy for you and your family! I can’t wait to hear how Grey reacts to her new baby brother.
I remember when I told my first child that he didn't have to worry about me loving him less because a mom's heart grows more with a new baby so every child has their own bit of it 😍
Obsessively watching this telling myself I’m going to feel better in a few weeks (6 weeks with baby 2) I had totally forgotten the pain of the constant nausea 😭. This video gives me hope 😂
Pregnancy is difficult and glorious. It has been many years since I was pregnant but this video reminds me of so much from those years. It’s lovely that you share your experience!
You'll never know how grateful im for you for this vlog. This is my first pregnancy 12 weeks into the journey and the first trimester symptoms are worse. Everything you mentioned is what happens or happening for me now. The awful taste in mouth, feeling better in the morning and a mandate nap in the lunch and an awful evening feeling sick n vomiting food aversion to all foods in general it's literally the same. Even the bleeding. I bled last week at night and was shivering with fear and immediately caught cold n fever. Felt grateful when we found the baby is fine. The emotional rollercoaster is on and off and i wish this sick feel will end soon. 😢
My two are 16 months apart and I didn't fit in my first maternity clothes like because my hips had widened and my body had fully changed. Congratulations again lily 💖
Feeling comfort that you were starting to feel better! I’m 5 weeks and I feel so ill, can’t wait to get to that point of not feeling so sick all the time ❤
Omg! Love how u shared the moment of telling Rich. So sad about the blood moment but so happy all is ok. Hope the pregnancy continues without the bad days. Can’t wait to see Grey as a big sister…..
My son was born a month before grey and we are also trying for baby no2 now. I was SO sick last time until 24weeks & I'm pretty anxious about it, especially with a toddler I don't know how youve done it! congratulations u seem so happy it's lovely ❤️
This was such a great video, just like your first trimester with Grey. Very informative and real. We had a missed miscarriage last year but currently 15 weeks pregnant. I had bleeding this time at ten weeks and all i could think was that i was losing the baby but everything turned out great and going well with thankfully extra checks at my local hospital who have been amazing. Positivity for anyone pregnant or trying to get pregnant xxx
Lovely vlog on the 1st trimester, if you ever feel you need to take a week off then ignore any negative comments all that truly matters is you and you health both mental and physical so take those weeks off as and when you need them xx
His face when he saw the test was adorable!! I got judged for having a big age gap there’s 10 years between my girls and so many people said it was cruel to disrupt my oldest daughters life having another one but they love each other so much and have such a close bond I am now desperate for another one so loving all the RUclips pregnancies at the minute
This was so candid and honest, thank you for sharing your experience! Usually you only get to see the “glamorous” side of pregnancy and I defo learned some things for the future :-)
Loved the way you told Rich! 😂 I feel like if Grey’s nickname was Fridge while she was in your tummy, that this little boy’s nickname should be Sandwich 🤪
Congratulations Lily! I’m so excited to follow your pregnancy journey again. My boys are 2 years apart and yes it’s a bit challenging at first but it’s already getting easier (my little one is almost 6 months now). Sending you lots of love xx
Please be kind to yourself and your body Lily. It did an amazing thing creating Grey and this little boy and bodies change over time anyway. I'm so glad your incident wasn't the worst case and my heart goes out to anyone who struggled during that part of the video.
I was pregnant at the same time as you but in 2020 (March conception, November baby) and the night before my 12wk scan I had a bleed very similar to how you described yours. I called the MAC unit and they said as it was a Sunday, and as I had my scan the next day, I was to wait and rest until then. The waiting and going for that scan, alone due to covid (lockdown #1!), and expecting to hear bad news was the worst 24hr hours. I ended up just feeling numb. I'm so glad things turned out to be ok for you, and hope you have a smooth ride the rest of your pregnancy. Congratulations! xxx
I’ve just had my 2nd baby (19 month age gap) and I love watching these videos from you. I agree with everything you said!! especially about the new baby entering the ‘bubble’ - you definitely find space but it’s so different to the first time. Huge Congratulations! Loved Rich’s reaction 🥰
I do think its sensible to start trying as you do not know when its going to happen or what may happen. It took 2 months to get pregnant with my first and I thought the same would happen with my second. I did get pregnant very quickly but three times ended in miscarriage which was very hard for us. When I finally got pregnant with my second after almost a year of heartache and tests to find out why this was happening, I was so scared throughout the pregnancy that I couldn't enjoy it, which was sad. The funny thing is that we decided to start trying for a third before our second's 2nd birthday as we thought again that it would take a while and we might have the same experience. I got pregnant on the first month of trying 😅 I would never change my experiences for anything and I appreciate my children more than ever because of them. Anyway, after that long winded story, congratulations and wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy xx
I watched thus years ago and I am rewatching this at 6 weeks pregnant. I have horrible morning sickness (more like all day sickness) so it is hard to enjoy it at the moment. I hope I feel better soon!
Omg I loved this video!! I cried when you said ‘I can see a baby and I can see a heartbeat’. I’m so happy everything’s ok. Grey will make an amazing big sister xxx
Omg I can‘t imagine the Stress and the emotions you Must have had with your spotting scare! I am relieved for you That all is well ❤️ and don‘t feel guilty of lying in bed, enjoy a Break whenever you can ❤️ sending you all the best
I'm so happy for you! My sister and I am 2 and half years apart, and a lot of my friends were the same, so I don't think it's that uncommon 🥰 then again England and Norway might be different, and London might be different than the rest of the country :)
Had to pause to say thank you to all medical professionals at every level that take the time to explain things to you. That speak to you almost like a colleague and a human being, rather than not even trying to have use understand. I’ve never been pregnant (don’t even know if I can due to some things), but I’ve had some scary moments in my life and at one point I had a doctor that would describe my condition as if I was a child asking. after asking like five times I finally stood my ground and demanded that he speak to me like an intelligent human being. Gosh, when you’re worried, you want to be educated and informed, not dismissed.
Thanks for your honesty in the last bit about the bleeding. It seems that these "unglamorous and nerve wracking" moments are never shown or talked about
The shiver of relief I felt when you said they saw the baby and heartbeat, even though you’d said everything was fine (plus I follow on insta so knew all was good), it’s amazing the emotions we feel when it comes to pregnancy!! I have my 10 week old on sleeping on my chest currently. Can’t wait to see your baby boy 💜💜
My heart was breaking for you when you were talking about how scared you were. One of my best friends had 2 miscarriages before she conceived her first and she was so devastated. My sister in law as well had a dreadful one and was hospitalised at 12 weeks. I’m glad it wasn’t bad news and I’ve really enjoyed watching the vlog xc
cutest announcement to Rich ever, your smile, his grin.. pure joy ❤️ screenshot 5:53 frame it and hang it in baby boys room because that is the cutest pic ever and he will know how much he was loved from the beginning 🥰
Huge Congratulations to you all, the Q&A was soo funny. How you managed to keep a straight face while discussing the Riches favourite sandwich. Riches reaction was just the absolute best, so funny. Grey is going to be a great big sister. Cannot wait to see her reaction xx
Rich's favourite sandwich 🤣 so glad everything was ok for you, Lily. That fright must have been terrible. Hope you can enjoy the rest of your pregnancy xx
Lily , enjoy your pregnancy it’s such a special time and you always remember these feelings and emotions . I’ve had 5 all totally different experiences! Good luck xxxx
I also had several heavy bleedings during my second pregnancy and was so shocked and scared to death! My daughter is about to turn 1 year this month and I am so glad. Especially hearing about your bleeding brings back memories. It‘s definitely not talked about a lot.. ♥️
What an amazing video Lily!! Thank you for sharing the highs and lows of early pregnancy!! It's so strange, but also honest, to keep comparing each pregnancy - one to another! I have had 3 pregnancies (2 girls and 1 boy) and they have all been so different - I never had cravings! It's amazing that for each pregnancy for each person is so unique but also so universal!
oh congratulations lily!!♥️ I was two and half when my little brother was born and it was the absolute best - loved having a little friend + I felt like a 2nd mother to him 😂
I love the detailed discription of all the symptoms. And it also shows that you can NOT tell the sex of the baby by the symptoms you have. - I had a girl first and 2 years and 4 months later a boy. In the beginning, when he would wake up from a nap crying a bit she would climb into his bed next to him, sucking her thumb and fiddeling with his tiny ear - which calmed him immediately. Now they are 27 and 25 and they are as close as any parent could wish for. It makes my eyes watery just thinking of it right now.
I didn't get around to watching this earlier because I didn't have time, but that was so great!! Your smirk as you're asking him the questions, and then his reaction - wonderful!!
Congratulations to you all so happy for you X 🍼🚼🤰lovely to watch and I have a new granddaughter. Just now six weeks old.... I never knew how much love can fill your heart. X 💖
Congratulations, Lily!! I am so happy for you and Rich! I'm glad you are sharing the reality. I am not pregnant yet, but I would like one day, and having all these information now will definitely help me when the time comes. XX
I feel the same judgement about age gap. I felt that for myself, thinking I was being irresponsible. I even cried thinking I wasn't going to be there as I should for my 2yo. Anyway, thats done, just had to embrace it 😂 The 2nd baby is coming october 21! Congratulations Lily!
I always find it surprising that there is ‘age gap judgement’ in today’s day. Every family and situation is so different. About to have my second baby any day now - fell pregnant when my son was 6 months - totally planned on our part. As an only child it’s going to be so nice to have my children grow up so close in age 😊 We’ve mostly experienced just lots of ‘you’re going to have your hands full’ comments 😆 Rich’s reaction was so sweet 😍💛 Thanks for keeping all the first trimester symptoms real. First trimester is. the. worst. And definitely a different ball game with another baby/child xx
Very interesting watching this, loved it! Fun fact: You had Grey in May 2019 and I had my first baby, my son Felix, in June 2019. Now you're due in November 2021 and SO AM I! Love it. I felt sick in both pregnancies, but worse this time around that with my boy (from about 6 weeks to 15 weeks). Still felt sick now and then up to 20 weeks. Oh joy.. Much better now, but my stomach is not my best friend..! Los of love xx
At week 8 of my ivf pregnancy I had a similar bleed but then at 10 weeks had a severe bleed and at that point was taken to hospital and told the baby was absolutely fine! I then bled for the next 4 months with no effect on the baby. Every time I went to the toilet I was scared. Pregnancy, for me is not overly enjoyable because of the mental anxiety. So pleased for so though and in the end it is all so worth it.x
I loved this video. I'm in the same boat as you, that I'm in my first trimester. It's my first pregnancy and I've not told anyone but my partner not even parents. We have no idea whats feeling right and whats feeling wrong. But watching this I was like, yes!!! I have that, the sour taste, motion sickness, the looking for blood when I go to the toilet, lower back pain! I had a miscarriage in my 1st and 2nd pregnancy which was devastating to the point that I'm petrified for my 12wk scan now in 2 weeks time. Thank you for sharing.
Also how odd that on the evening that I watched this video I also got some bleeding. Yes I was freaked out but actually because I had watched your video earlier in the day I don't think I panicked as much as I would have otherwise. Your advice on what the nurse had told you (as long as you're not bleeding through a towel each hour) really helped me to stay calm.
I would be surprised if people had anything to say about the age gap. 2.5yrs is a good gap. There is only 11 months between me and my sister. For a whole month every year, we are the same age!
So glad the first trimester went well! Or as well as it can when you’re nauseous. I remember that feeling and it sucks! Be kind to yourself, you deserve it. ❤️
I find it so interesting how differently pregnancy is treated in different countries. In the US you are supposed to get a scan at 8 weeks and it’s always intravaginal. 2.5 years is standard if not a longer age gap. My best friend’s boys are literally a year apart which is waaaaay too soon for me lol but she wanted her kids close. Congrats on the second baby! Glad everything is better!
Thank you for your honesty and sharing this experience. I actually found out that I had a pregnancy loss few days before you announced you’re having a baby and I had to disconnect from your channel for a little bit, but came across this video today and feeling nothing but happy and excited for you!
Congratulations! 🤰🏻Thank you for sharing your story. I had similar scare with my first baby. I was also not aware at the time that this can happen. So it is importaint that you share also this part of the story.
I had to do the elastic band trick from 8 weeks pregnant! Much bigger bump from a lot earlier in my 2nd pregnancy! My symptoms were pretty much exactly the same! I knew I was pregnant again because I had a few mornings waking up exhausted after a full nights sleep! Congratulations guys! X
so happy for you guys! My mum wrote a journal during my early childhood (I am the second child) and she had the same `concerns´ - she experienced that she didn't need to find space in her heart but that her heart just doubled :)
Such an honest video. I’m due early January so currently 13+4. 2nd pregnancy and not planned, my first was a twin pregnancy and 6 years ago so mine has felt very different too, but the tiredness is definitely strong this time. Nausea was less as only 1 baby this time. You look great lily you don’t look tired at all x
This was such a helpful video found myself bawling when you spoke about the blood though the worst but thank god all is fine so exciting to have a new addition to the family grey is going to be a big sister so glad lily you’re feeling better and can now just relax and enjoy the pregnancy you look amazing at the end of the video sending positive thoughts and blessings stay safe stay beautiful stay calm.❤️
Congratulations Lily, I'm so happy everything's gone well so far. It's so fascinating watching your journey, as a person, who hasn't been pregnant and always been a bit unsure about kids.
So happy for you! With sicknes and how you feel, with me was the opposite.. with my daughter I didn’t even know I was pregnant till week 11, I felt absolutely fine. With my son.. from week 6 till bith (including the actual labour 🤦🏼♀️) I was sick every 20-30 minutes 😓 couldn’t sleep or eat anything while with my daughter the pregnancy was like a dream, I was working right through the end and it was just as amazing as I could of imagine. With my son.. it was hell on earth to the point im prettified to get pregnant again 🙈
Hi Lily! I am very happy for your family and very excited that we are both having a baby boy in November! It's my first pregnancy and i could relate to so many things you mentioned except the nausea, i am for the lucky ones that didn't get any at all...I was sooo so anxious at the beginning, as time went by i became way more calmer,thank god...!At around week 13 i started having brown spotting, it wasn't a lot but omg i was so shocked! i was so thankful that the baby was ok but it lasted two weeks and it drove me crazyyyy...then it suddenly stopped, i am currently on week 20 and every time i visit the toilet i am SO thankful that everything is fine now, these experiences are so traumatic and i often have the feeling that no one talks about them!
Your face the whole time during that “Q&A”😂 congratulations!!
Omg how did you not burst out laughing when you asked Rich the sandwich question 😂😂😂
Oo
I just stumbled upon this video and am 7 weeks pregnant and very much in that shell of a person, sick all day long phase. Seeing you describe this and eventually start feeling better is so reassuring and I feel so much less alone hearing you describe exactly what I’m going through.

So grateful to realize it is normal because my first pregnancy I was not sick at all so I can feel like something is wrong with me feeling like this this time around. So thank you for sharing your journey and helping me not feel alone.
Agreed! I’m am currently the same. Congratulations
Rich’s genuine face and happiness when you bring the test out :) ❤️
The moment you told Rich was so so sweet!
I appreciate how open you are about your experience, it's helpful for future moms and for people (like me) who don't have close friends/ sisters that were pregnant and who don't know what they might be getting themselves into.
Oh Lily! When you said about not feeling pregnant anymore my heart broke for you. Glad to hear baby is doing well x
My sister has just found out she’s pregnant with her second baby after 3 rounds of IVF. I’m SO HAPPY!! She is getting horrendous morning sickness atm
Congratulations! I’m surprised if people judge the age gap. I always thought 2 years was normal and actually quite good as it’s not so far apart!
I've never heard that either. Maybe her friends are very judgemental...
Yes here in Germany 2-2,5 years is the normal „expected“ age gap as well
Same! For me even 5 years is okay!
It is normal here too, and common amongst my friends. I think our parents' generation could have bigger age gaps between kids because they started having kids much younger and I think when one is at school etc it makes it easier, than having two at home. It's all lovely in the end no matter the age gap. Also, I was worried for nothing, noone judged... lol

I’m one of three children and we are all two years apart, born 92, 94 and 96 and the majority of the time we got on very well!
Loved this vid, I’m being induced next week with my first baby as I’m currently 41+2 and no sign! 😫
Wishing you all the best x
Good luck!
Good luck! And well done for getting to 41 weeks, I also went that long and it's tough! x
Eldest of 4 here, with 2.5-3 years between each of us (early 82, mid 84, end of 87, early/mid 90, so 8 and 1/4 years between me and youngest!

Same here, I had it at 10 weeks too. Couldn’t get a scan for 5 days it was a hard wait. So grateful to have my son here.
So sorry you had to go through that. It's very scary indeed x
What a wonderful moment to see you tell Rich. My fave hurts from smiling. Truly truly wonderful!
Congratulations on the news its a boy .. Im 56 ..had my babies many moons ago ..but still loved listening to your journey..Brought back so many memories Xx

I think Arlo could make a cute boys name and goes quite well with grey being a more unique name x
Love how honest you are breathe of fresh air, congratulations one very lucky baby
My son was born a month before grey and we are also trying for baby no2 now. I was SO sick last time until 24weeks & I'm pretty anxious about it, especially with a toddler I don't know how youve done it! congratulations u seem so happy it's lovely ❤️

I'm 5 minutes into the video I can't stop smiling. Your smile is contagious Lily. Happy for you and Rich xx
His face when he saw the test was adorable!!

For me it felt like my heart grew and found more space for them. It’s just so amazing
I’ve just had my 2nd baby (19 month age gap) and I love watching these videos from you. I agree with everything you said!! especially about the new baby entering the ‘bubble’ - you definitely find space but it’s so different to the first time. Huge Congratulations! Loved Rich’s reaction 🥰
Love Rich’s reaction. His curly hair looks good longer.

I got pregnant on the first month of trying 😅 I would never change my experiences for anything and I appreciate my children more than ever because of them. Anyway, after that long winded story, congratulations and wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy xx
Had my baby boy a few months after you had baby no.1, and now I'm pregnant again, few months after you. ❤ your baby videos keep me going, thank you!
I watched thus years ago and I am rewatching this at 6 weeks pregnant. I have horrible morning sickness (more like all day sickness) so it is hard to enjoy it at the moment. I hope I feel better soon!
Omg I loved this video!! I cried when you said ‘I can see a baby and I can see a heartbeat’. I’m so happy everything’s ok. Grey will make an amazing big sister xxx
Omg I can‘t imagine the Stress and the emotions you Must have had with your spotting scare! I am relieved for you That all is well ❤️ and don‘t feel guilty of lying in bed, enjoy a Break whenever you can ❤️ sending you all the best
I'm so happy for you! My sister and I am 2 and half years apart, and a lot of my friends were the same, so I don't think it's that uncommon 🥰 then again England and Norway might be different, and London might be different than the rest of the country :)
Had to pause to say thank you to all medical professionals at every level that take the time to explain things to you. That speak to you almost like a colleague and a human being, rather than not even trying to have use understand. I’ve never been pregnant (don’t even know if I can due to some things), but I’ve had some scary moments in my life and at one point I had a doctor that would describe my condition as if I was a child asking. after asking like five times I finally stood my ground and demanded that he speak to me like an intelligent human being. Gosh, when you’re worried, you want to be educated and informed, not dismissed.
Thanks for your honesty in the last bit about the bleeding. It seems that these "unglamorous and nerve wracking" moments are never shown or talked about
The shiver of relief I felt when you said they saw the baby and heartbeat, even though you’d said everything was fine (plus I follow on insta so knew all was good), it’s amazing the emotions we feel when it comes to pregnancy!! I have my 10 week old on sleeping on my chest currently. Can’t wait to see your baby boy 💜💜
Congrats Lily, Rich and Grey! Thanks for sharing this exciting journey 😀💕
My heart was breaking for you when you were talking about how scared you were. One of my best friends had 2 miscarriages before she conceived her first and she was so devastated. My sister in law as well had a dreadful one and was hospitalised at 12 weeks. I’m glad it wasn’t bad news and I’ve really enjoyed watching the vlog xc
cutest announcement to Rich ever, your smile, his grin.. pure joy ❤️ screenshot 5:53 frame it and hang it in baby boys room because that is the cutest pic ever and he will know how much he was loved from the beginning 🥰
40+ minute vlog! Yesssss! Let me grab a coffee and a snack. So excited for this ☺️
Aww.. that reaction from him. So genuine.. So happy for three(four actually) of you🤍🤍🤍
Can’t believe you cut out his sandwich info
😂
Hahaha
i was so invested in what he was going to say
hahaha
Huge Congratulations to you all, the Q&A was soo funny. How you managed to keep a straight face while discussing the Riches favourite sandwich. Riches reaction was just the absolute best, so funny. Grey is going to be a great big sister. Cannot wait to see her reaction xx
Rich's favourite sandwich 🤣 so glad everything was ok for you, Lily. That fright must have been terrible. Hope you can enjoy the rest of your pregnancy xx
Thanky for sharing! 😊☺️ I am at week 10+ with a 5 and a 3.5 year old and yes, the moments where you simply lie down on the couch are rare. 😂😂
Lily , enjoy your pregnancy it’s such a special time and you always remember these feelings and emotions . I’ve had 5 all totally different experiences! Good luck xxxx
So exciting! I just love your facial expression when you are talking about your baby being a boy. Just the must precious, genuine reaction 😊
Thank you for sharing such a personal time in your life. Truly appreciate how real and open you are!
I also had several heavy bleedings during my second pregnancy and was so shocked and scared to death! My daughter is about to turn 1 year this month and I am so glad. Especially hearing about your bleeding brings back memories. It‘s definitely not talked about a lot.. ♥️
I'm 7 weeks pregnant with bebe #2 and feeling so sick 24/7
I am so happy that everything's fine and you healthy♥ and congratulations to you both on it being a boy!!!
I had light bleeding for a few weeks during my first pregnancy and it was the scariest thing ever so I feel for you.
Sounds like such a traumatic ordeal! Sending you and the fam love ❤️ Stat strong Liky, you’ve got this!!
CONGRATULATIONS guys!!!
I absolutely LOVED that you shared the news with Rich on Camera!!! So sweet!
Grey is going to be a great Big Sister!!!!
What an amazing video Lily!! Thank you for sharing the highs and lows of early pregnancy!!
It's so strange, but also honest, to keep comparing each pregnancy - one to another! I have had 3 pregnancies (2 girls and 1 boy) and they have all been so different - I never had cravings! It's amazing that for each pregnancy for each person is so unique but also so universal!
I think 2 years apart is great for the children. My brother and I were only one year apart and it's been amazing
Omg. I just had a pregnancy test over the weekend. And it is showing 2-3 weeks too (same as you first test).. congratulations to you.
oh congratulations lily!!♥️ I was two and half when my little brother was born and it was the absolute best - loved having a little friend + I felt like a 2nd mother to him 😂
Lily, I absolutely loved this video. Thank you for sharing everything and being so honest and open, it is so so helpful!
The Q+A section with rich was both genius and adorable!!! You’ll look back on that so fondly years later 🥰
When you were describing what happened...oh my heart! I'm so happy your spirits and symptoms are improving! Congratulations on baby boy!
I love the detailed discription of all the symptoms. And it also shows that you can NOT tell the sex of the baby by the symptoms you have. - I had a girl first and 2 years and 4 months later a boy. In the beginning, when he would wake up from a nap crying a bit she would climb into his bed next to him, sucking her thumb and fiddeling with his tiny ear - which calmed him immediately. Now they are 27 and 25 and they are as close as any parent could wish for. It makes my eyes watery just thinking of it right now.
I didn't get around to watching this earlier because I didn't have time, but that was so great!! Your smirk as you're asking him the questions, and then his reaction - wonderful!!
Congratulations to you all so happy for you X 🍼🚼🤰lovely to watch and I have a new granddaughter. Just now six weeks old....
I never knew how much love can fill your heart. X 💖
Congratulations, Lily!! I am so happy for you and Rich! I'm glad you are sharing the reality. I am not pregnant yet, but I would like one day, and having all these information now will definitely help me when the time comes. XX
I feel the same judgement about age gap. I felt that for myself, thinking I was being irresponsible. I even cried thinking I wasn't going to be there as I should for my 2yo. Anyway, thats done, just had to embrace it 😂 The 2nd baby is coming october 21! Congratulations Lily!
I always find it surprising that there is ‘age gap judgement’ in today’s day. Every family and situation is so different.
About to have my second baby any day now - fell pregnant when my son was 6 months - totally planned on our part. As an only child it’s going to be so nice to have my children grow up so close in age 😊 We’ve mostly experienced just lots of ‘you’re going to have your hands full’ comments 😆
Rich’s reaction was so sweet 😍💛
Thanks for keeping all the first trimester symptoms real. First trimester is. the. worst.
And definitely a different ball game with another baby/child xx
Very interesting watching this, loved it! Fun fact: You had Grey in May 2019 and I had my first baby, my son Felix, in June 2019. Now you're due in November 2021 and SO AM I! Love it. I felt sick in both pregnancies, but worse this time around that with my boy (from about 6 weeks to 15 weeks). Still felt sick now and then up to 20 weeks. Oh joy.. Much better now, but my stomach is not my best friend..! Los of love xx
At week 8 of my ivf pregnancy I had a similar bleed but then at 10 weeks had a severe bleed and at that point was taken to hospital and told the baby was absolutely fine! I then bled for the next 4 months with no effect on the baby. Every time I went to the toilet I was scared. Pregnancy, for me is not overly enjoyable because of the mental anxiety. So pleased for so though and in the end it is all so worth it.x
I loved this video. I'm in the same boat as you, that I'm in my first trimester. It's my first pregnancy and I've not told anyone but my partner not even parents. We have no idea whats feeling right and whats feeling wrong. But watching this I was like, yes!!! I have that, the sour taste, motion sickness, the looking for blood when I go to the toilet, lower back pain! I had a miscarriage in my 1st and 2nd pregnancy which was devastating to the point that I'm petrified for my 12wk scan now in 2 weeks time. Thank you for sharing.
Also how odd that on the evening that I watched this video I also got some bleeding. Yes I was freaked out but actually because I had watched your video earlier in the day I don't think I panicked as much as I would have otherwise. Your advice on what the nurse had told you (as long as you're not bleeding through a towel each hour) really helped me to stay calm.
I would be surprised if people had anything to say about the age gap. 2.5yrs is a good gap. There is only 11 months between me and my sister. For a whole month every year, we are the same age!
So glad the first trimester went well! Or as well as it can when you’re nauseous. I remember that feeling and it sucks! Be kind to yourself, you deserve it. ❤️
I find it so interesting how differently pregnancy is treated in different countries. In the US you are supposed to get a scan at 8 weeks and it’s always intravaginal. 2.5 years is standard if not a longer age gap. My best friend’s boys are literally a year apart which is waaaaay too soon for me lol but she wanted her kids close. Congrats on the second baby! Glad everything is better!
Thank you for your honesty and sharing this experience. I actually found out that I had a pregnancy loss few days before you announced you’re having a baby and I had to disconnect from your channel for a little bit, but came across this video today and feeling nothing but happy and excited for you!
Congratulations! 🤰🏻Thank you for sharing your story. I had similar scare with my first baby. I was also not aware at the time that this can happen. So it is importaint that you share also this part of the story.
Congrats Lilly and Rich and big sister Grey!!
Congratulations again, so happy for you! As someone thinking of starting to try to conceive, these videos are so helpful. Thanks for keeping it real x
Congratulations!!!
My brother and I are 18 months apart and my mum survived hahaha you’ll be fine with Grey and baby boy! x
I had to do the elastic band trick from 8 weeks pregnant! Much bigger bump from a lot earlier in my 2nd pregnancy! My symptoms were pretty much exactly the same! I knew I was pregnant again because I had a few mornings waking up exhausted after a full nights sleep! Congratulations guys! X
Cried twice. Congratulations again to you guys…this is so exciting!!!
so happy for you guys! My mum wrote a journal during my early childhood (I am the second child) and she had the same `concerns´ - she experienced that she didn't need to find space in her heart but that her heart just doubled :)
Awwww Rich’s face you two are so adorable and your picture with Anna on insta I was jealous. Sending you positive energy and prayers xx
Such an honest video. I’m due early January so currently 13+4. 2nd pregnancy and not planned, my first was a twin pregnancy and 6 years ago so mine has felt very different too, but the tiredness is definitely strong this time. Nausea was less as only 1 baby this time.
You look great lily you don’t look tired at all x
This was such a helpful video found myself bawling when you spoke about the blood though the worst but thank god all is fine so exciting to have a new addition to the family grey is going to be a big sister so glad lily you’re feeling better and can now just relax and enjoy the pregnancy you look amazing at the end of the video sending positive thoughts and blessings stay safe stay beautiful stay calm.❤️
Congratulations Lily, I'm so happy everything's gone well so far. It's so fascinating watching your journey, as a person, who hasn't been pregnant and always been a bit unsure about kids.
So happy for you! With sicknes and how you feel, with me was the opposite.. with my daughter I didn’t even know I was pregnant till week 11, I felt absolutely fine. With my son.. from week 6 till bith (including the actual labour 🤦🏼♀️) I was sick every 20-30 minutes 😓 couldn’t sleep or eat anything while with my daughter the pregnancy was like a dream, I was working right through the end and it was just as amazing as I could of imagine. With my son.. it was hell on earth to the point im prettified to get pregnant again 🙈
My heart broke for you sharing your traumatic experience 💔 so glad all is ok for you I can’t imagine how awful that day would have been xx
Hi Lily! I am very happy for your family and very excited that we are both having a baby boy in November! It's my first pregnancy and i could relate to so many things you mentioned except the nausea, i am for the lucky ones that didn't get any at all...I was sooo so anxious at the beginning, as time went by i became way more calmer,thank god...!At around week 13 i started having brown spotting, it wasn't a lot but omg i was so shocked! i was so thankful that the baby was ok but it lasted two weeks and it drove me crazyyyy...then it suddenly stopped, i am currently on week 20 and every time i visit the toilet i am SO thankful that everything is fine now, these experiences are so traumatic and i often have the feeling that no one talks about them!
