- Being pregnant was a 9 month journey inward. I thought I'd share my honest musings and confessions during this transformative time. I hope this video gives anyone else who's expecting some comfort knowing that they're not alone in their feelings and it's all a part of the process.

My emotions were out of control while watching this! I smiled with you, cried with you…laughed with you. Thank you for your vulnerability and ability to keep it real at all times. Your storytelling capabilities are out of this world! I’m so proud of you Jegg 🥺
Lennon is so lucky to have a mom like you 💕
Ahhh thank you for being a part of my journey! Love you so much! x
Saaaaaame
Jen is so articulate and that’s what gravitates me towards her personality. She is such a sort out, clear mind, expressive, genuine and thoughtful person. Love to you, Ben and angel baby boy 👼🏻 ❤️
@Jing Li oh
@Jing Li was that really necessary
@@mangoqueen825 right??
You have such a gift for storytelling in the most beautiful and articulate way. I adored every moment of this and your real and unfiltered emotions. I wish there was so much more of this online. Thankyou Jenn xx
Thank you, Victonia! Miss you! x
This video was so wholesome! Im 27 weeks pregnant at the moment and I could feel every emotion that you went through and sobbed like a mad lady watching this! Especially when you said talking to ur mom about being pregnant lifted the weight off ur chest and made u feel more comfy. The same thing happened to me!
Good luck!!
Congratulations 🥰
Ahh congrats Shanice and thank you! x
Exactly how I feel 💕
Aw jenn I said this before but you express your emotions so clearly. “I feel lonely but there isn’t anyone I want to see” damn. That’s so relatable. I’m still watching the rest of the video but thanks for being so transparent 💗 sending you love
Thank you so much, Nina!
That hit so hard.
I felt the same way!
I feel like this most of the time. I don't know how to deal with these kind of emotions.
12:22 "They don't have any trauma yet and I'm afraid of what I might pass down to them"
one of the reasons why I don't want to have children tbh,but I'm so glad this smol one is born in such an environment.
This kid will help change the world. Wishing you and your family nothing but light and happiness, Jenn xx
I'm so glad someone pointed this out. I cannot see myself having a child because of what I experienced growing up.
My parents tried their best but everything they went through (trauma, hardships, etc.) wasn't expressed in a healthy manner. As a result it was passed down to me, and I don't think they thought about this when parenting.
The fact that Jenn considers the physical, emotional, and mental health/safety of her child speaks volumes of her character as a mother and human being in general. ❤
By no account am I blaming my parents; what's done is done. All I can do now is heal and learn to cope with the past, and strive to be at peace in my body, mind, and eventually my soul.
Jen, thank you for making this video. I’m with you on the lonely thing. I feel like people are just having kids a lot later. I’m in my late 20’s and have only 1 mom friend. It’s extremely lonely. It hit me harder after I gave birth to my son. And then throw covid on top of that, and it’s just an extremely lonely experience. Sending you lots of love. Also, the intense fear/anticipation of the upcoming life change is really scary. It’s like a feeling of overwhelming anxiety. And of course, you mourn the loss of your old self. When I think about myself before I had my son, it sometimes makes me cry. It’s literally like you’re experiencing a LOSS…like a legit loss of life, and you’re reborn as a mom. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love being a mom. I spend everyday with my son, he’s the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. But there are just so many things that people don’t talk about when it comes to pregnancy/motherhood.
Congratulations 🥰
True, I'm 35 and only half of my friends have kids which is a big serious social issue in Korea actually. Congratulations and you are doing good to the society bu raising good children.
@@annabelle7123 At least in america it's because so many people need to get a master's degree now for a good job. Add in time to find the right person and date then marry for a few years. By then you are probably 30+ years old already.
there's nothing wrong with having kids earilier/later in life. After you become 21 age becomes meaningless when it comes to friendships. You can find friends both in thirty and fifty year old mothers, if you wish so. Of course it varies based on your home country, but that's the way it should be.
@@oneofthosemoments4564Uhmmm I feel the same as am 20 years but ever regretting why I got pregnant and its really torturing me 🤦🏼♀🤦🏼♀🤦🏼♀
I am not pregnant nor do I plan on getting pregnant anytime soon but I absolutely LOVED every second of this video! Thank you for sharing your journey with us ❤️❤️❤️
Off topic but your really pretty
@@lilsistha25 Aw thank you 😊❤️
Your willingness to be vulnerable in front of a camera & showcase the raw emotional reality behind something as lifechanging as having a baby makes me sob everytime time and really adds a whole other dimention to your content. The way your express yourself and the ways the videos are edited are basically cinematographic and truly capture the depth of this human experience. Thank you for sharing, it truly adds value to my life.
Thank you, Juliana! This message is so sweet! T__T x
Yes!!! Spot on
“I feel really lonely; but there’s no one I want to see” wow. I’ve never been pregnant (though I do desire marriage and children)
But i relate to that feeling so much. And I have never eveeeeeer been able to articulate what it is. Because it honestly feels and sounds crazy…. But it’s real.
Loneliness is so difficult to grapple with sometimes. The main takeaway is that you're not alone in this! x
So pure, so honest love you Jenn! 🌈✨ I watched every bit!
Thank you, Natalie! xx
The part where you said you don't want to pass down your traumas resonated with me so much. I'm not pregnant nor do I have a child but I've never seen myself becoming a mum because I am so terrified of passing down my conditioning and trauma because I had a terrible childhood that I'm still trying to recover from at the age of 26. I cried a little but you are going to be so amazing Jenn 💛
This literally brought me to tears :(
Jenn you've been like a mother to us,giving us advice, providing us with love and support, that's the signs that Lennon is going to have the best parents ❤
Aww, thank you, Vesa! x
@@imjennim sending you lots of love xoxo
So true 💯
Aww Jenn.. I LOVE THIS VIDEO!
Thank you, Chloe! x
"i feel really lonely but there's no one i want to see" is exactly how i've been feeling with my friends too. it feels like our priorities and paths have diverged and i feel so far from them
You documented your journey so beautifully. As a doctor who’s never actually experienced childbirth, this was such a delight to watch a “patient’s” beautiful experience. 🍃
Even though I’m not pregnant, this is so relatable. We all know how it feels to be anxious and uncertain about the changes in the future. Thank you always for your transparency and can’t wait to meet Lenny soon ✨💜
It's not dramatic, it's not sugar-coated, it's just a raw and pure emotion 😭 Been watching you since high school and now I have my son can you imagine how long I've been loving you Jen!! ❤️❤️
@Jing Li lol ok???
I felt warm when she told the baby "It's okay, just take your time.". It felt like she was talking to me. Thank you Jenn, for this tender video. It felt good to see honest confessions beyond "pregnancy is so wonderful" or "pregnancy is horrible". Not because these reviews are bad, but because it feels like they gloss over everything in between. Thank you♡.
It broke my heart when she talked about her body image because honestly beofre she even talked about it, I was thinking "she looked BEAUTIFUL during her pregnancy" , her skin was glowinggg and looked so radiant. She looked like such a cute mom-to-be. If I looked like that guring my pregnancy, oh I would be so happy.
Exactly what I was thinking!
Cried my eyes out watching this. Jenn you are amazing, truly are a blessing. Honestly, your going to be such a good mum to your son. You literally exude wisdom, kindness & grace. Sending you soo much love ❤️
Thanks so much, Rachael! x
The way you articulated how you felt a gap between your friends because you're transitioning to a new phase of life ahead of your friend group, and how you felt lonely but don't want to see anyone, is raw. And I've felt the same way. You acknowledged my feelings and hesitations with being a mother in the future, and it's so refreshing to hear someone else feel similarly. We love you, Jenn! Thanks for keeping it real.
“I feel lonely but there’s no one I want to see”. Woah! Totally how I felt but never knew how to word it. You’re so insightful and articulate!
Jen - as a 9 week pregnant lady, my emotions were not prepared for this… I ugly sobbed and had to pause halfway through. Thank you for being so genuine and making this video, truly feel less alone in this whole process. Sending love always.
omg THIS!! Same! I'm 11 weeks now, and I felt ALL of the emotions. Was. not. ready. 😆
Have never clicked so fast for any other video...Jen and her genuine content is what we need to start the weekend..🤍 Lots of love to you and Lenny ❣️
Aww thank you! x
What a genuine, emotional, strong and beautiful video ! Thanks Jenn, you’re a great mama ❤️
Up pumping at 4:45am and watching this. You’re such an amazing story teller Jenn. I’m here for whenever your book drops. K, back to watching 💕
This video couldn’t have come at a better time. I found out I was pregnant this week and have been struggling with a lot of fear and self-doubt. After listening to you, I feel reassured that I’m not alone in these feelings, and that everything will be okay. Wishing you and your family all the best, Jenn 💛
All your feelings are valid. Have a safe pregnancy!
This was so great. As a single momma w a toddler i know you’re gonna help so many people with this vid Jen! You are like a sister to all of us. Thank you for your transparency through this journey and i hope you and little angel are doing great
You're doing incredible too, Dayn! Sending love to you and your little one! x
god i love how honest jenn’s content is. and its just edited so well, i’m not even pregnant but this gave me peace for whenever i am one day 🥰
This was so nice to see. I feel like on social media you only see the excitement and highs of pregnancy, and it’s made me feel different and not normal because of how emotional and draining it can feel. Thank you for sharing!
I am 7 months pregnant and can't tell you how grateful I am that you shared this video. I was laying bed last night and suddenly found myself in the bathroom sobbing into a towel. I just feel so stressed and alone and scared. SO MANY good feelings too but the negativity is real and I can't seem to escape it. I am so grateful to watch this, it makes me feel so seen and validated for feeling this way. I am adopted and my mom hasn't ever been pregnant long-term and even though she is an amazing support to me, she never felt this way and can't console me in the way I feel I need. You have consoled me in that way. Thank you for this. Truly.
I cried when i first heard the news and now, watching this, i feel so emotional and overwhelmed. It is an experience that i desperately want to have one day. Jenn you are great. Thank you for holding in tight. Thank you for sharing this.
I absolutely love how you sort out your thoughts and document it. It helps us feel like we're not alone in our scariest moments. I appreciate and your work you so much. Lennon is very fortunate to have both of you. ♡
This video seems like a beautiful documentary🤍
Thank you for taking us on your life’s journey!!
Love you so much Jenn💎🤍
I have never related to something more. I thought my feelings through this pregnancy were weird and I was uncomfortable with all my negative thoughts but you make me feel human. So grateful for you and sending lots of love to your family. ❤️
I never fail to watch your content minutes after you upload. You're one of the few people I look up to, and you're incredibly inspiring. Love you forever Jenn ♥️♥️ you're gonna be a great mom
You're so amazing Jenn, I love how real you are about everything, I relate so much about how you felt! My baby is 10 months now and I'm always saying to my boyfriend "I want to know how Jenn is living her 4th trimester so much! She gives voice to my own feelings!" I know it was an emotional rollercoaster for me, I really hope you're great! Sending you love from Portugal 💜
“I feel really lonely, but there’s no one I want to see.” How I felt/feel in a nutshell with both my sons. It’s like you crave company but it’s a lot of work to socialize and there’s nobody (other than other mom friends which are hard to find) that can truly relate. Hope you and Lennon are coping well in what’s probably the biggest transition you will experience in your life!
When Jenn cries, I cry. Never been pregnant but her journey gives me hope for when that time comes. Thank you for sharing 🙇🏽♀️
Thank you for these videos! I am absolutely terrified of pregnancy, I always have been. It makes me very anxious to think about even though I’m nowhere near having children. These videos really help me with understanding what happens and that it will be ok. Thank you for the raw honestly ❤️
I’ve been in a relationship for almost 5 years and I still do not see me and him having a child anytime soon. Because I just have 23 years old haha but your journey makes me feel less anxious and makes me think that someday I could be a mom! Thank you so much for sharing with us❤️
I’m glad you showed us this part of pregnancy. It can be emotionally hard. I felt like this and when I saw all these picture perfect pregnancies it made me more alone. So thank you!!!
There is also the guilt feeling when you are not happy about being pregnant and that this should be one of the happiest time of your life. Especially when struggling with infertility and previous loss. I was miserable. I was so afraid because of previous losses that I had a major anxiety attack first trimester. Then found out we were having twins and that feeling intensified. The fact that I dealt with years of trying and 2 losses, tainted my pregnancy. I had to leave work at only 18 weeks due to depression and anxiety. Covid didn't help either, I felt alone during my appointments. :(
We even left buying all the baby stuff til about 33-34 weeks and they were born at 36 weeks 😅
It is certainly not all rainbows and puppies. It was extremely difficult emotionally, mentally and physically.
There is a whole other side of pregnancy that barely gets talked about.
Even though the babies will be 2 months on Sunday, I am still finding it hard adjusting. :(
But the parking spaces are a bonus! Lol.
Congrats on your twins also wish you happiness in the future
You are so well spoken. Everyone can see and ✨feel✨ your genuine soul. I hope you are having a wonderful experience learning to be a mom ❤️
This is exactly how I felt when I was pregnant. The overwhelming feelings, the loneliness and isolation, the fear, the highs and the lows. It’s crazy. But look how far we’ve come. My son’s a toddler now and it’s been the most amazing journey being a mom. ❤️ Thanks for putting it all in a video.
Watching your emotional vulnerability and clips of you crying fill me with this sense of Fellow Humanity that brings me courage to allow myself to be vulnerable myself. You bring me more comfort in me? Thanks Jenn💜
Jen, this video is a gem. Thank you for being transparent and for documenting your real and raw emotions. I felt it when you said, “I feel so lonely but there isn’t anyone I want to see.” I’m 4 months postpartum but this video made me cry, made me say “I experienced that too.” I hope there will be more of this online.
Jenn, you really know how to put everything into words. I had my son this past April, and I learned he was breech around the 36 week mark. I freaked out and was so sad to learn in the end that I would need to have a C-section. I had been preparing for a vaginal birth all along. In the end though, I was just grateful that my son was healthy and that there were no complications. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Congratulations on your son! I'm sorry to hear he was breech but so relieved that you're both healthy and happy! x
Hi Jenn! Thanks so much for sharing your journey and being so honest. I’ve loved watching your journey through the years and appreciate your honesty through it all. I sadly cant get pregnant, but i’ve loved all the insight through your pregnancy journey and for sharing it all with us! Lots of love to you and your family. ❤️
As a mom already, thank you for telling our story so perfectly and beautifully. The ups and downs, the extremely raw emotions, and all the thoughts!
Jen, this video is truly special!! Thank you so much for sharing your story, I’m far away from getting pregnant and being a mom but seeing your journey reassured me that when I will, everything will be okay. There is so many things we don’t talk about when it comes to pregnancy and you touched on a subject that I didn’t even think about even though it’s obvious! This was really beautiful! 🥰
Today is my due date and I cried watching this. We go through so much physically and mentally during pregnancy and you’ve put it together in such a beautiful video. Thank you!
This video was so beautiful Jenn! At certain moments I literally started tearing up with you 🥺. Thanks for letting us into your world so intimately like this!
Thank you, Jamie! x
Jenn! Thank you so much for sharing your journey and vulnerability. Every little thing mentioned in your video hits so, so close to home for me; from the start of the pregnancy journey, to the rollercoaster of emotions, body image, experiences with doctors, changes with your friendships and life, the loneliness, gestational - everything. It's refreshing to watch a rawer version of a pregnancy journey that's not always heavenly and to be able to connect with someone else who shares the same experiences is comforting. 💗
This is the most relatable pregnancy blog I’ve ever seen. THANK YOU ❤️ I’m just about to enter my second trimester and as much as I’m excited it’s definitely a scary time!
"I feel really lonely, but there's no one I want to see" - I have never heard a phrase that so accurately sums up how I have felt for most of my adult life... what a strange feeling indeed, but perhaps it just shows that the people in my life are not serving the kind of energy I am looking for right now. Thank you for sharing your vulnerable moments, it really means a lot to see that a lot of the emotions I have that make me feel like I don't belong, might actually be pretty normal.
I relate to you in so many ways and I’m not even a mom yet. Your reaction was so honest and this video was so honest. Undoubtedly Im sure motherhood is magical but no one talks about the roller coaster it is. When I think of motherhood I get so scared but seeing how it’s possible to overcome all those scary emotions is relieving. Thank you so so much for this.
i cried with you, Jenn! thank you for being so honest and vulnerable - i’ve never got pregnant, but i’m super afraid of it already, so i’m gonna keep your videos in my heart for when the moment comes
I feel like you're a big sister to all of us whenever I watch your videos. There's such a sense of comfort and security in knowing that whatever anyone's going through that's stressful or scary, things are going to be okay in the end. That's what I get from watching these raw and genuine vlogs and I'm so thankful. Even though I don't plan on having kids now, I can relate to your emotions and it feels like we're all together figuring things out💕
At 12:56, “ I guess I’ll just have to actually use this towel” made me burst out laughing while crying with you. I’m not a mom yet but I hope one day I will be. Watching you go through your process emotionally and documenting them physically, I really resonate with wanting to work through your own emotions to best provide for the baby. I’m so proud of you as a human being and it makes me feel reassured that it’s the mindset that brings us success. Success being whatever comes with peace, love, and growth. So happy for you and wishing you all the very very best. You’re in my thoughts Jenn.
Hey Jenn 😊 - I love these raw and candid moments, the connection is so much deeper, I got so emotional. Thank you for sharing, I hope you all are doing well sending you lots of love 💖👑🙏🏽🤲🏾
Thanks Haseena! xx
Oh Jenn! Thank you for being so vulnerable and open about your pregnancy journey. I found so much solitude within this and experienced so much of the same emotions/fears and symptoms throughout my pregnancy as well. It’s tough growing a baby, but worth it! So grateful for mamas sharing their most authentic selves. Sending you love and light to your new little family
Thank you so so much for this video Jenn. This aspect of pregnancy is so very rarely shown! Thank you for your raw honesty and openness.
My husband and I are talking more and more about starting our family and I felt completely alone in my fears and doubts. No one talks about being scared or nervous or anything other than complete happiness and joy surrounding pregnancy.
Thank you so much for bringing some more realness to this subject.
I wish you, Ben, and Lennon the absolute best❤️❤️❤️.
Wow, seriously! I’m 31 weeks pregnant now and I felt every single minute of this video as if watching myself. Especially the part about feeling this kind of loneliness and also grieving your life before baby. It’s just so good to feel that all mothers go through these emotions and that you are not alone. I have an anxiety disorder and sometimes hearing other women saying how wonderful pregnancy is (don’t get me wrong it is, I like it a lot so far) puts this weird pressure like your not enjoying it as much as you should, but it’s not true that it’s just rainbows and butterflies. So I want to thank you for showing that it can be a bit of a roller coaster ride, where you feel really lost and scared at times, but really happy and confident as well! Also congrats for your precious baby boy! 💕💕
I know this is pure parasocial relationship stuff here. but Jen, I love you! I cant tell you how refreshing, inspirational and joyous it is to enjoy your content on here. It brings me so much joy and reflection to be able to watch all these raw moments edited and compiled in such a meaningful way. Thank you for what you do!
Your raw telling of your feelings and emotions around grieving your old self is incredibly helpful to watch. I want to be a mum in the next few years, but like you, what I love doing and basically where my personality is centred will no longer be possible and I'll have to leave it behind. You reminded me how it's okay to grieve the loss of your former self when such a massive change occurs in your life.
I just had my baby almost a year ago and watching this really brought back the memories. Thank you for your honesty and for letting women know everywhere that they are not alone with the multitude of emotions that come along with pregnancy. It’s not all sunshine and happiness as everyone makes it out to be. There are moments of vulnerability, fear and worry and it is ok. Emotions come in waves and at the end of the day, everything will be ok. 💕
You are so real and raw & I love that about you, Jenn 🤍
Thank you for sharing. I'm currently 23 weeks pregnant with my first baby. It has been very emotional and isolating and scary, but also a happy and exciting time. I'm glad there are people like you who share their stories so us other pregnant women don't have to feel so alone
Omg Jen. I’m 32 weeks pregnant and every single thing you dealt with emotionally is how I felt. I relate to this so much and it’s such an ebb and flow of emotions. Thank you for sharing and helping me feel normal. So many women don’t talk about these things and just act “so happy” all the time like everything is perfect and it’s the best thing ever. But it’s so much more than that. This is a huge transition and thank you for sharing this raw stuff.
Oh Jen my heart broke for you when you cried during your 2nd trimester. Thank you for sharing this with us. I’ve seen you grow so much in your parenting journey and we’re proud of you!!
Hey Jenn,
Sending you lots of hugs! I myself am a first time mama and definitely understood every emotion you felt. It’s overwhelming, exciting, and just a lot to intake. I’m so glad you shared your transparent journey. It brought back memories for myself when I was once in the same shoes as you. You’re going to be such a wonderful mom. Being a good mama, doesn’t always mean you will be perfect. I’ve made so many mistakes as a first time mama and after a year, I can actually laugh it off now. It’s trial and error. Love you and stay strong! I’m super happy for you and excited for you. And remember that you are human, it’s okay. You are worthy and enough. Baby is going to love you so much just as my first baby boy does me. ❤️
Jenn Thank you for sharing this video and those vulnerable moments during pregnancy. I'm 30 weeks now and feels so connected to the bittersweet parts. I feel you as a first time mom!! I had very difficult first trimester and doubts myself thousands of times(almost everyday in the first 3 months), but when I feel baby's kicking and know she's healthy, it's rewarding and strong validation-- it's like oh you didn't do any harmful things to the baby. In short, this is a very powerful video that make me feel I'm not alone. Thank you again, wish you and your family the best!
The third trimester blues are sooo real. You got this though and you'll be an incredible mother. x
it’s so refreshing to see that i’m not the only one feeling these emotions especially the loneliness… when you said i feel so lonely but there’s no one i want to see i felt that !! thank you for this ♥️
Thank you Jenn for sharing your thoughts, confessions, and vulnerability 🖤
Thank you so much for sharing this totally normal side of pregnancy! Although it is a beautiful thing it can be a scary thing and that's ok, it is a huge life change. Your videos have been a breath of fresh air.
Jenn, THANK YOU for this video! I am currently 32 weeks + 3 days pregnant and stumbling across your videos has given me so much peace and comfort. I know exactly what you mean...I am so lonely yet there is no one that I want to see. Pregnancy is such a wild, isolating (yet beautiful) time. You have encouraged and inspired me! I'm so happy you guys now have your gorgeous boy in your arms. You made it! Congratulations! Sending blessings from Austin, TX.
I cried every time you did, not even kidding. Jen I adore you!! I can relate to your emotions and thoughts and way of thinking things through, so watching this and just hearing the introspective part of pregnancy (that is often overlooked, especially with such an articulate eloquence that you possess) hit home with me. I’ve been having massive baby fever and can’t wait to start a family, but also feel very not-ready, and still very naive sometimes. I adored this video so much!!! Thank you for sharing.
I love how open you are about your feelings and the ups and downs that come with pregnancy. It's important to show reality and not to magnify the truth when you know that so many women go through the same thing. It is also very interesting and healthy. Being a women is a life long journey and I am sure you are an amazing mommy
This made me feel a sea of emotions… tears definitely flowed and my heart felt all the feelings. Jenn you and your family are so beautiful and baby is definitely blessed with a wonderful mother. You basically raised us… so we would know! Lol sending you lots of love ❤️
i’m literally crying with you throughout this video, this is the most genuine video i’ve seen in a very long time and i love getting to hear your thoughts throughout this time!
Thank you for showing me the ups and downs of pregnancy. In the future when I get pregnant, it’ll be so comforting to watch this video. 😭❤️
Wow, this was so raw and honest, I felt so connected to you. Thank you for this, Jenn, you made a lovely family.
Jenn, it's hard to express how comforting and inspiring this video is. I'm in my early 20s, and have always thought of pregnancy (esp. labor) with such trepidation, anxiety, and fear. I am so grateful for your vulnerability, and it brings me so much comfort that if/when I start a family, I'll have this video and your pregnancy content as a guide of sorts. Thank you so much for sharing these moments with us!
ugh.. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you. Not only was it so beautiful to watch you grow another human (like WHATTT?!), but it was also so amazing to see your personal growth through this process. I always appreciate how open you are about the tough changes in life. I know this will come in handy for so many newly pregnant women (maybe me one day!) to not feel so alone with the big changes and the big emotions that come with it.
Hi Jenn! I've been watching your videos for so many years back in your clothesencounters days and you've honestly been such an inspiration to me for so long! I already know you're going to be a great mom, and I can't wait to see you embark on this new journey :)
I need to save this video for future me. Thank you Jenn for sharing moments of your pregnancy with us
To know there’s others who think and process being a mom similar to the way I do is so comforting . Thank you so much for your rawness and honesty . I feel like not many share this side of pregnancy so I appreciate it . A lot .
the number of times that i almost cried while watching this video … can’t even imagine the actual roller coaster your nine months have been!
Honestly didn’t think I was going to cry but I was wrong 😭 this was very helpful to watch. I’m currently 35 weeks. I appreciate your vulnerability and raw honesty ❤️
Never been this early!! Youre such an inspiration in the way you live your life. Dont ever stop sharing please ❤️
Jenn, I've been watching your videos since 2013. Seeing you traveling all around the world, get married, broke your teeth, move your house....I have been growing with you and you really feel like a very dear old friend to me. I rarely leave comments but I want to say a big THANK YOU to you. These precious videos full of your meaningful thoughts, confusions and reliefs, are just soooo valuable to others who are or will be in similar journeys in the future. I am one of them. Thank you Jenn! You are the best! Love you~~
I am so grateful for Jenn's honest thoughts, reactions, symptoms she had and all the overwhelming moments. I was not pregnant and I am not, but I found myself in many doubts about pregnancy , such as if I will be a good mother, if my child will like me, if I will manage to this new life of having a baby , the changes that my body will go through...
Thank you Jenn for being YOU , inspiring me eveyday and bringing me comfort in many life situations. 😊💕
You hit the nail on the head with every thing you went through and felt. Especially the loneliness…
So your not alone 🙂
I really admire the honesty. I'm 30 and in this phase where i'm wondering if i'll ever get married or have kids or if I even want either of those things. I feel like everyone refuses to talk about the hard parts because maybe they feel guilty? It's just nice to hear your honest experience.
Thank you so much for being so vulnerable and open with all of the passing waves of emotion you were experiencing
Thank you so much for being honest, real, and vulnerable! This is such an amazing video and you are such an amazing person. I’m currently going through IVF treatments and suffer from depression, anxiety, and previous eating disorders so this was amazing to watch so that when I’m pregnant I’ll know all the emotions that I may feel are normal and ok to feel.
It was deja vu hearing Jenn talk about the gap between her friends that don't have kids and her, but it's so nice to still have those friends for support and to also make new friends that are on the same parenthood journey! I hope her and Ben find strength in their friends that have witnessed their metamorphosis into amazing parents and that they also find a mom/dad tribe to do life with!
I think I finally understood what my mom went through when she carried me. Thank you Jenn
