10:26 Jess saying she feels like she’s barely contributing just shows the strength of women. She’s literally growing their child inside her body and still feels like she should be doing more💪🏼
I had hyperemesis and was stuck in bed for the majority of the first 17 weeks. It’s no joke. All you women who feel like this should give yourself grace!
Yes it’s crazy. I didn’t contribute to the house at ALL during my first pregnancy from 6 weeks to 23 weeks. Thankfully my partner is stellar and never complained, always reminded me how much I WAS doing and how strong I was pushing through hardship and misery.
Jess I can listen to you talk about your pregnancy nausea all day. Don't worry😅 Your voice is just so calming (which you've probably heard a thousand times before) and it is quite insightful anyway to follow an honest and raw update. We love you and I pray the rest of the pregnancy goes well🥰
Girl, I was sick my entire pregnancy and the nausea was unreal. I actually appreciate you talking about it because everyone I talked to just told me that it would end eventually. It was nice to hear the solidarity! Good luck with your pregnancy. So happy for you both!
Ok gosh, I feel your pain. I had nausea 24 hours a day, vomited at least twice at day. When people talk about the labour pains I can’t relate bc as soon as I went into labour, was when my nausea stopped😂. I felt so good, myself again.
Seeing your comment. I was always wondering if sickness like that isnt a sign of prior digestive issues eveb minor ones but revealed because you can produce more gastic acids and such while prego. I had a friend with crohn disease and she was sick her entire pregnancy, it was obvious for me the real reason. Like her organs overworking too. She didnt change her diet a bit coz she "had her crohn's meds".
Me too! My entire first pregnancy, 5 weeks until day of delivery. It was intense, some days vomiting 10 times a day. I was always in the hospital getting IV’s because of dehydration. But my second pregnancy was a breeze!! Night and day and they were both girls! I fell ya girl 😉
Omg same😭😭 had to get so many IVs. Threw up all day everyday from the day I turned 6 weeks pregnant to a week after delivery that was so hard but worth it
I had my first baby a month after you. I’m now 7 weeks with my second. I’m really struggling with nausea and feeling like I’m bedridden while being a mom to my 1.5 year old. Thanks for helping me not feel so alone 💕
This brought back so many memories of when I was pregnant with both of my sons. I was nauseous the entire first trimester with them, and as soon as I started my second trimester, the nausea subsided. I hope that the rest of your pregnancy is healthy and comfortable, and you’re both blessed with a healthy, happy baby!! 💛
I am 16 weeks and have been suffering from intense nausea and vomiting since around 5-6 weeks. I lost 15 pounds my first trimester and had to get IV fluids multiple times a week to survive at my worst. I too am on a prescription medication that I take religiously and even then, I still have days I can’t keep anything down. It’s been so hard, pregnancy is an incredibly humbling and beautiful journey. Thank you for speaking the truth and making me feel so not alone 💛
Thank you for sharing such a raw first trimester. I'm currently 18 weeks with my first baby and the nausea absolutely took me out for the first 16 weeks. To the point where I thought I couldn't do it. But I'm finally feeling better now. Seeing someone else go through it is so refreshing. I felt as if I was moaning all the time. Also, ice cold apple juice and apple tango were a life saver! I hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy 💕
The nausea is no joke! Mine started at 5 weeks and it's finally starting to get better at almost 18 weeks! I really appreciate you talking about it! A lot of people would just tell me to get over it. It was so debilitating and it's refreshing to hear someone else talk about how difficult it can be. I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well and gets easier! Congratulations to you and Gabe again! So excited for you guys!
Been watching you for 5 years now and feels like I’m part of your family. The moment I saw the announcement reel, it made me cry lol. I’m sooo happy and excited for baby number 2❤️
Hey Jess! My husband and I stopped drinking Olipop because we found out they use ingredients like Cassava Root which are known to cause infertility and other reproductive system issues for both males and females. A good alternative we found was Poppi. Doesn't hurt to look into it if you want. Excited to follow your journey with #2!!!
There is actually not enough study on this and women in Brazil have consumed this for hundreds of years. Small amounts is OK but if you feel safer not using it, there are other alternatives.
congrats on baby number 2 Jess!! I love how unfiltered and raw this is and it really feels like I'm listening to an older sister guiding me through life. Sending you much love!
Girl, you’re a rockstar. I’m currently almost 13 weeks and I’ve been about 80% bedridden since 6 weeks. I had HG with my first so what I have now is NOTHING like that, praise the Lord 😅 but the nausea is real! Nothing really helps sometimes and you have to eat and drink regardless. I’m so ready for the 2nd trimester bliss 😅
@@hannahcollinson9309 I would say that I didn’t only because while I did lose weight I wasn’t throwing up constantly. I could eat and drink but was still very nauseous. But that was my main worry about getting pregnant again too! It’s so hard to know because some women it gets better and some it gets worse. Even thought this time was a little better for me I was still in bed for days and not able to care for myself properly so unless the Lord has other plans this will most likely be our last 😬 If you choose a second pregnancy I hope it gets better for you!! I’m so sorry you had to experience HG 😔
Girls!! Just so I'm ready when is my turn. We can't take any pain killers for the nausea right? For is dangerous for the baby? Or not? ❤ I would appreciate someone letting me know.
@@Patristarlightshop My midwife helped me by telling me to eat protein regularly. Any kind of meat. Torino’s Pizza Pockets helped for a bit until I would need them again. Preggy Pops from Walmart would take the edge off in between (prob helping me get mind off). As far as hydration, drink Watermelon Water with electrolytes from Walmart if you can consume and watermelon and cucumbers. I think the mixture of meat and cheese helped for some reason. Tacos 🌮 helped h til I got too nauseous thinking about eating them anymore.
@@kristincoorough637 There is supposedly a cure coming out and women are excited since they are afraid of it happening in their next pregnancy, but for me, Jesus was my cure. He healed me both times and I’m so thankful because I know it could have continued until delivery. I was able to consume water again after 4-5 months of not being able to. My dehydration was serious. Also try to get a Urinary probiotic if you are dehydrated and pure cranberry juice. Pure pineapple juice helped me some but the sugar content would affect my blood sugar (I’m hypoglycemic) Ultimately, lots of crying out to Jesus to pull me out of the endless crashing waves I felt I was drowning in was the best medicine because He would pull me up and calm my mind, soul, & body.
I love your pregnancy videos! Thank you for sharing all about your first trimester! Whenever I was pregnancy with my first baby girl (who I just gave birth to last month!) I would go and rewatch all your trimester recap videos and then when I had her I rewatched your postpartum recap video and they were really fun and encouraging and comforting to watch! I love you, Jess!
Those SeaBands are a literal life saver! Not pregnant but my husband and I moved across the country last year and those were the only things that kept me feeling okay during our drive!
I remember how terrible it was. My thoughts are with you. If things like housework etc fall on the wayside, pls don’t punish yourself. Let things be messy… rest when you can. Idk about other women but I felt so much guilt and felt lazy bc I physically couldn’t do anything. We are not lazy! We are growing a human. Good luck to you and be kind to yourself xo
i’m 5 months pregnant with my second & nausea was so much worse for me this time around! i felt the same way with contributing to the house & with my son! but also tried to give myself grace. sending much love to you guys ❤️
I have 5 kids right now and had hyperemesis gravidium for all of them. I was on medication as well but also found that limiting carbs and upping my protein definitely helped with nausea and throwing up. Also drank electrolytes. Congratulations!!!
So encouraging because I am also currently pregnant and nauseous and trying to figure out how to take care of my oldest and work while also not wanting to get out of bed. Love the honesty and def helps me feel less alone!
Congratulation Jess! It's so cool to watch you evolve and grow continuing to be the beautiful person you are, especially as you are taking on these responsibilities. It's crazy that I've be following your for years now. Love you
Jess, don’t feel sorry for talking about your nausea, it’s all part of your experience! I hope your nausea has subsided and you have a smooth and healthy pregnancy. I’m so excited for your family ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for talking about the nausea and tips to combat it!! I’m currently around 10 weeks and have been extremely nauseous since week 8 (like, losing sleep because I’m stuck hugging the toilet most the night)… My husband just bought me the anti-nausea bands so I’m ready for him to get home lol. Praying they help! So excited for the growth of your family!! God has blessed you all tremendously!! 🤍
Just watched this video while I pumped for my first child (my 5 week old son). Pregnancy and birth are so fresh still I can't imagine going back to the first trimester at this point in my life. Praying one day I will have the excitement like you again!
i've been watching your videos for about 7 years. the first video i watched was 'bf does my makeup' when you and Gabe were dating. I dont comment often, but im so happy for you both. yous are the most beautiful people and are incredible parents and im so happy for yous! congraguations to you both
Blessings!! May you have a smooth and healthy pregnancy! At the moment my hubby and I are trying for baby #2 and I really hope it will happen soon!!!!!
congrats on baby number 2! im pregnant with my first and the first trimester nausea is so real. only started feeling more myself week 15/16, now 25 weeks and feeling normal but just so tired! the guilt for feeling like you're not doing enough is so hard too but we're literally growing a human!
Jess congrats!!!! 🎉This is so exciting! I had a baby the same time as you had makaiah and I am ttc right now can’t wait to get that positive! As a mom of two I want to tell you how much fun it is seeing your daughter become an older sibling!!!! It’s all worth it. Keep your eye on the prize😅 And yes the nausea is real! Feel better❤❤
I 100% understand how your feeling! I have very bad first trimesters with all three of my pregnancy! Praying that the rest of your pregnancy and delivery goes well! God bless!!!
Ohm Jess I’ve been watching you for so long can’t believe we’re pregnant together! I feel so validated you talking about all the nausea feeling sick all the time
Yayy you're reading the selectionn ahhh I loved that book sm me and my friends were craaaazy about that series when we were teenagers lol I hope you love it too. Also, I'm praying for your pregnancy Jess the last ime when you were describing what you felt when you had Makiah I just remembered almost feeling what you were going through cause I get sick pretty bad so I pray that 2nd and 3rd will be better love you ♡♡
Thanks Jess for being so open and honest about pregnancy!!! I kept feeling like I was the only one. Hopefully you are feeling better, we are due the same month!
loved this video Jess!💛 so excited for your growing family, praying for a healthy baby boy or girl! don’t feel bad about taking about your nausea, it’s okay! i know so many people probably found it so helpful and comforting if they’ve had the same experience as you or similar💛 im so happy towards the end you were able to start to feel better!
Expecting in August of 2024 as well and I had a very similar experience as you with the tests. It’s so discouraging if you get a false negative. I can totally relate to getting too in your head after getting a discouraging result. The emotional experience in early pregnancy can really feel like a roller coaster at times.
Oh my, do I remember those days! Felt nauseous from morning to night for over 3 months with both of my girls. Would go to bed about 8 o'clock, because then I could sleep, which was the only time I did not feel the nausea. Hardly ever threw up, which I would have preferred. With my son, the oldest, I was nauseous and very sensitive to smell, and I did throw up and usually felt better afterward. But with the girls it was a challenge. Not trying to sound dramatic, but there were days I thought I would not survive this. I got better though around the fourth month, and by month 5 I felt fantastic. Wishing you all the best!
I loved this video because everyone experiences a different pregnancy. Some things can be similar but we all react differently. At least i dont feel alone & we are both having our babies due around the same time ❤️ how cute!
Jess I'm so glad you're talking about this! I'm 10 weeks but I JUST started feeling like myself. All the things you got helped me as well but mine is still bad because I'm around my trigger all day! 😭
I’m currently pregnant with my second pregnancy (twins 😮) and the nausea is out of this world. Working full time with also a 15 month old is challenging. So excited to watch your journey ❤
I get so happy watching these videos. My husband and I are also pregnant and we found out early December so we’re due for August as well and it feels so nice to feel like there’s someone I can relate to that’s going through the same thing around the same time. Thank you for sharing your journey ❤
Jess! This video is speaking to me. I’m pregnant with my first (8.5 weeks) and I am SO SICK. Everything you said validated me 😭😂 even the part where you talked about ‘am I even pregnant? Am I just making this up?’! That was literally my fear until I saw my baby haha. But it’s so nice to know I’m not alone 😭 loved this video, and praying your sickness eases soon x
Oh nooo man😅 i am feeling literally the same way with my second baby and i am 9 weeks only. I was kind of hopeful that I'd start feeling better around month 4 but seeing that you're still going through it, it makes me feel a little scare ngl😢 It is indeed difficult having a toddler who needs my attention and my partner is doing everything he can to pick up my load. I just feel so bad for him and my daughter because I just can't function like I'm used to. Ugh, hope things get better soon. Can't to eat normal and feel normal again
I needed this video.. currently pregnant (10 weeks) and I feel like I'm crazy because I'm basically bedridden as well. Makes me feel like I'm not alone 💓
I had severe nausea and headaches with my third pregnancy and was pretty much in bed the first 5 months. I hope you are feeling much better now and congratulations!
I’m 16 weeks pregnant and I found out when I was 8 weeks. I was mostly tired and had nausea here and there but nothing too crazy. I was extremely fortunate, I was so scared about the first trimester symptoms but I barely got them. So cool how everyone’s journey is so different lol
I started watching your channel since you and Gabe were doing long distance, and now we both got pregnant in December!! ahhhh can't wait to do this with you ♥
As someone who has had multiple pregnancies as well as some miscarriages, a tip is that you can open the Digital Pregnancy Test to look at the strip itself. It basicqlly looks like a test strip on the inside where you can see the test and control line for yourseld. Sometime what's messed up is the actual mechanism that reads whether it's a positive or negative to show on the digital screen. Just FYI❤
Oh my god !! I'm going through the same symptoms you're describing. Especially the "not knowing what to do" part. Its like nothing is bringing you joy anymore 😞. Ginger and green tea helps alot with nausea. Thanks for sharing ♥♥♥
Congratulations! I'm so happy for you Jess! I think you're going to love being a mom of two I have a feeling! As a woman twice your age, I understand your kindness of you not wanting gabe to be let down if he didn't have to be, but it's his responsibility too, to be there for you during those hard and draining times of not getting a positive. He's wanting you to be pregnant also, so going through that shouldn't be solely on you alone! 😢 That honestly makes me sad to think about bc you're only thinking of protecting him when he should be thinking of supporting you! I mean, why was he not keeping up with when you start your period and asking questions like if you had started or were feeling like you might or not, asking if you were going to test, or when you were going to or wanting to test, etc? This isn't ONLY your job bc your the woman! It takes two and that goes for the WHOLE PROCESS! My heart just breaks for you bc it shows a glimpse into a piece of your relationship with him (tiny part i hope) that I could only wish and hope was better for you! Saying all of this with only care, concern and hope that you can see another side maybe and see that he CAN AND COULD do better and more! I just thought back to the other video when he was annoyingly saying y'all weren't actively trying and keeping up with when to partake in things, etc... THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN VERY CLEAR TO HIM IF HE WAS WANTING THIS CHILD TOO! We don't have to hide our periods or cycles and how they work from the men in our lives or even men in general! It's a natural part of being a woman!
Congratulations, hope by this time you are out of the nausea. I had my first DD not long after yours (2022 Aug) and now I am a week away from my due date with our second :) My 1st trimester with my second was pretty similar regarding symptoms and also a lot more intense, I had constant all-day nausea and even threw up multiple times a day from week 6 until week 14. Nausea only got better after week 18, then I had a month of feeling OKish until the heartburn started again (had the same with my first). This time even the heartburn was a lot worse, I actually asked for some medication for it that THANK GOD solved the issue. I am now actually feeling closest to normal and excited to meet the new member of our family. However, I remember how awful it was this time with my pregnancy so I already told my partner there is NO WAY I am having more than these 2 kids! He has to carry the next himself if he wants more :)
Literally a minor detail, but I looooove The Selection series (18:34). I hope you ended up reading the book! Also, congrats on baby #2 and thanks for being so honest and genuine
This is exactly how I felt with my 2nd pregnancy which was a boy❤ lingering constant nausea from morning until bedtime. I started feeling better around 20 weeks😊
Hey Jess! So beautiful to see your little family growing. I know you’re probably far enough along now that your nausea has died down but I had HG when pregnant with my daughter and the only thing that helped me were drops from my homeopath xx Good luck with it all!
Congratulations to you both! 🎊❤️🙏🏻 wishing you a happy, easy, and healthy pregnancy! Ps. digital pregnancy tests tend to be less sensitive to lower levels of the HCG hormone, so sometimes those may come back negative at first.
December 20th was the day I had my second !! Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy and little one ❤ the second kid is a wild adjustment !but praying for y’all
Jess I had my third baby at a midwife center/birthing center and it was the most beautiful experience ever. I wish I had my other 2 babies there. Definitely look into it but I would recommend it to anyone!!!! Congratulations again love! ❤
Did they offer pain medication? The birth center I gave birth at didn't. It was HORRIBLE and I wish I hadn't chosen to have my baby there. But I can't go back😅
I also had all day sickness. It sucked feeling nauseous all day, but not throwing up. I found that eating was the thing that helped me. My midwife suggested for me to eat small portions every two hours.
Currently in my third trimester and this reminded me of how bad first trimester sickness is! I was the exact same and was medicated until about 15 weeks
My son was born 2018 and my daughter was 11 months later in 2019! I totally understand every emotion, it’s hard but honestly mine are almost 5&6 now and it’s way easier they’re best friends now i love it so worth the sleepless nights 😅❤
I had the worst sickness in my first it lasted the whole pregnancy but my second it slowed down over time and wasn’t half as often it’s crazy how different pregnancies can be
hey Jess! i’m currently pregnant with baby number two (a little girl), i turned 26 weeks yesterday & i also have a 15 month old son 🥰 their age gap will be 18 months, which kinda scares me but i know their bond will be so worth it. this pregnancy has been soooo much worse than my first, my symptoms list would be as long as my arm so i wont bore you with the details 😅 but congratulations on baby number two! we are very blessed and i wish you the best in your pregnancy and your delivery 🤍 p.s. i’m pretty sure we’ve been pregnant at the same time twice now 😂 mama twinsssss! 🥹
Hey Jess😍 thank you sharing its hard and I hope you have a easy pregnancy ♥️I’m on my second pregnancy now and so happy to go through it with you Also will have them two years apart 🥹 and I would love to see a video about how you are preparing mekaya to be a big sister really important and Dont c it much ♥️♥️
I hope you get feeling better soon! I'm studying in the health field and one thing that's talked about is morning sickness or nausea during pregnancy and magnesium. Idk if you tried it, but magnesium glycinate can be very helpful (sometimes nausea is a symptom of deficiency).
Thank you for speaking on this. I had HG which is a term that they called for extreme nauseous. And mine lasted the entire pregnancy. Just thinking about food or anything I was actually SCARED to eat or drink bc I didn’t want to throw up. I ended up being in hospital multiple times a week just bc I was so dehydrated half the time. They started me on a medication called zofran BUT they also have a picc and something else to administer the zofran rather than taking it as pill. It’s nice to know that there is other women that has gone through this. Its not as common as it should be on talking due to people not understanding or believing women that it’s more then “just nauseous, it’s normal” but it’s not normal to have to be on medication just to function during pregnancy. So I really do appreciate the talk on. You got this, stay strong!
I'm week 14 today and I remember weeks 5-7ish being the worst ones... with nausea and fatigue I couldn't leave the couch basically all day. I was on vacation, but as soon as I went back to work it surprisingly felt a lot more manageable! I don't know if maybe was because being out of the house and around people distracted me from symptoms or what...
I swear by grass fed beef liver and magnesium for morning sickness! I take liver supplements in the morning (b vitamins help with energy) and magnesium at night to help me sleep. I was only sick the days I skipped those two things! I am due in July with a baby boy and we are planning a homebirth. As a doula I recommend it to anyone who is looking for an alternative birth plan 💛
I am pregnant almost to the exact same day as you I missed my period on the 22nd! I’ve been so sick even still. Unisom is the only thing that’s kept it somewhat at bay. Some days r worse then others but I’m more able to function now by taking it then before

A good alternative we found was Poppi. Doesn't hurt to look into it if you want. Excited to follow your journey with #2!!!
Olipop is so bad for pregnancy!
Thank u for mentioning this info
This!!! I was also drinking olipop early on in my pregnancy and heard negative things about drinking them while pregnant!!
Yes! Gotta be careful with those”roots”!
There is actually not enough study on this and women in Brazil have consumed this for hundreds of years. Small amounts is OK but if you feel safer not using it, there are other alternatives.
It’s not proven 🙄 so stop spreading false information
congrats on baby number 2 Jess!! I love how unfiltered and raw this is and it really feels like I'm listening to an older sister guiding me through life. Sending you much love!

i’m 5 months pregnant with my second & nausea was so much worse for me this time around! i felt the same way with contributing to the house & with my son! but also tried to give myself grace. sending much love to you guys ❤️
Did the nausea get better for u now ...that ur 5 months ?
I have 5 kids right now and had hyperemesis gravidium for all of them. I was on medication as well but also found that limiting carbs and upping my protein definitely helped with nausea and throwing up. Also drank electrolytes. Congratulations!!!
Thank you for sharing with us what you feel during your pregnancy ❤ it's not so easy for every mom out there ❤
Jess you are the sweetest person never be sorry for sharing your journey! This is your first trimester video we want to hear about it all
So encouraging because I am also currently pregnant and nauseous and trying to figure out how to take care of my oldest and work while also not wanting to get out of bed. Love the honesty and def helps me feel less alone!
I was pregnant at the same time as you with Makaiah! Loved seeing your pregnancy videos. Please keep us in the loop ☺️
jess reading the selection is a full circle moment for me!
Congratulation Jess! It's so cool to watch you evolve and grow continuing to be the beautiful person you are, especially as you are taking on these responsibilities. It's crazy that I've be following your for years now. Love you
I love how Jess is so open and real, thank you Jess!
Jess, don’t feel sorry for talking about your nausea, it’s all part of your experience! I hope your nausea has subsided and you have a smooth and healthy pregnancy. I’m so excited for your family ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for talking about the nausea and tips to combat it!! I’m currently around 10 weeks and have been extremely nauseous since week 8 (like, losing sleep because I’m stuck hugging the toilet most the night)… My husband just bought me the anti-nausea bands so I’m ready for him to get home lol. Praying they help!
So excited for the growth of your family!! God has blessed you all tremendously!! 🤍
oh gosh I hope it helps!!! 🥲 congrats!
Just watched this video while I pumped for my first child (my 5 week old son). Pregnancy and birth are so fresh still I can't imagine going back to the first trimester at this point in my life. Praying one day I will have the excitement like you again!
i've been watching your videos for about 7 years. the first video i watched was 'bf does my makeup' when you and Gabe were dating.
I dont comment often, but im so happy for you both. yous are the most beautiful people and are incredible parents and im so happy for yous! congraguations to you both
Watching you feels like having a big sister, so happy for you guys🥹🫶🏻
Blessings!! May you have a smooth and healthy pregnancy! At the moment my hubby and I are trying for baby #2 and I really hope it will happen soon!!!!!
congrats on baby number 2! im pregnant with my first and the first trimester nausea is so real. only started feeling more myself week 15/16, now 25 weeks and feeling normal but just so tired! the guilt for feeling like you're not doing enough is so hard too but we're literally growing a human!

Jess congrats!!!! 🎉This is so exciting! I had a baby the same time as you had makaiah and I am ttc right now can’t wait to get that positive! As a mom of two I want to tell you how much fun it is seeing your daughter become an older sibling!!!! It’s all worth it. Keep your eye on the prize😅
And yes the nausea is real! Feel better❤❤
I 100% understand how your feeling! I have very bad first trimesters with all three of my pregnancy! Praying that the rest of your pregnancy and delivery goes well! God bless!!!
Ohm Jess I’ve been watching you for so long can’t believe we’re pregnant together! I feel so validated you talking about all the nausea feeling sick all the time
Yayy you're reading the selectionn ahhh I loved that book sm me and my friends were craaaazy about that series when we were teenagers lol I hope you love it too. Also, I'm praying for your pregnancy Jess the last ime when you were describing what you felt when you had Makiah I just remembered almost feeling what you were going through cause I get sick pretty bad so I pray that 2nd and 3rd will be better love you ♡♡
My comfort RUclipsr🫶🏼🤍
You look so beautiful in the last clip, the green sweater really makes your eyes pop!
Thanks Jess for being so open and honest about pregnancy!!! I kept feeling like I was the only one. Hopefully you are feeling better, we are due the same month!
loved this video Jess!💛 so excited for your growing family, praying for a healthy baby boy or girl! don’t feel bad about taking about your nausea, it’s okay! i know so many people probably found it so helpful and comforting if they’ve had the same experience as you or similar💛
im so happy towards the end you were able to start to feel better!
Expecting in August of 2024 as well and I had a very similar experience as you with the tests. It’s so discouraging if you get a false negative. I can totally relate to getting too in your head after getting a discouraging result. The emotional experience in early pregnancy can really feel like a roller coaster at times.
Oh my, do I remember those days! Felt nauseous from morning to night for over 3 months with both of my girls. Would go to bed about 8 o'clock, because then I could sleep, which was the only time I did not feel the nausea. Hardly ever threw up, which I would have preferred. With my son, the oldest, I was nauseous and very sensitive to smell, and I did throw up and usually felt better afterward. But with the girls it was a challenge. Not trying to sound dramatic, but there were days I thought I would not survive this. I got better though around the fourth month, and by month 5 I felt fantastic. Wishing you all the best!
I loved this video because everyone experiences a different pregnancy. Some things can be similar but we all react differently. At least i dont feel alone & we are both having our babies due around the same time ❤️ how cute!
Jess I'm so glad you're talking about this! I'm 10 weeks but I JUST started feeling like myself. All the things you got helped me as well but mine is still bad because I'm around my trigger all day! 😭
I’m so excited for you guys! You’re the best momma! Love watching your little fam and the bits of Makiah you share 💕
I’m currently pregnant with my second pregnancy (twins 😮) and the nausea is out of this world. Working full time with also a 15 month old is challenging. So excited to watch your journey ❤
I get so happy watching these videos. My husband and I are also pregnant and we found out early December so we’re due for August as well and it feels so nice to feel like there’s someone I can relate to that’s going through the same thing around the same time. Thank you for sharing your journey ❤
Jess! This video is speaking to me. I’m pregnant with my first (8.5 weeks) and I am SO SICK. Everything you said validated me 😭😂 even the part where you talked about ‘am I even pregnant? Am I just making this up?’! That was literally my fear until I saw my baby haha. But it’s so nice to know I’m not alone 😭 loved this video, and praying your sickness eases soon x
As someone with Emetophobia, I really appreciate the talk of nausea warning ❤
I'm sorry!!! I hope it wasn't too bad!!!!
@@JessConte it wasn't! The heads up was nice though!
Oh nooo man😅 i am feeling literally the same way with my second baby and i am 9 weeks only. I was kind of hopeful that I'd start feeling better around month 4 but seeing that you're still going through it, it makes me feel a little scare ngl😢 It is indeed difficult having a toddler who needs my attention and my partner is doing everything he can to pick up my load. I just feel so bad for him and my daughter because I just can't function like I'm used to. Ugh, hope things get better soon. Can't to eat normal and feel normal again
I needed this video.. currently pregnant (10 weeks) and I feel like I'm crazy because I'm basically bedridden as well. Makes me feel like I'm not alone 💓
I'm 11 weeks with 2 older kids and struggling so much too ❤
I had severe nausea and headaches with my third pregnancy and was pretty much in bed the first 5 months. I hope you are feeling much better now and congratulations!
You are a creating a whole human life, you are def contributing whether you feel like you are or not ! Hope it gets better for you soon!
I’m 16 weeks pregnant and I found out when I was 8 weeks. I was mostly tired and had nausea here and there but nothing too crazy. I was extremely fortunate, I was so scared about the first trimester symptoms but I barely got them. So cool how everyone’s journey is so different lol
I have a feeling it's gonna be a boy!! Praying that God be with you and your family always Jess 💛
This made me feel so much better just hearing the relatable nausea experience🥲9 weeks and I’m so sick but I appreciate your realness so so much!
Simply adore you, Jess 🫶🏼 Thank you for inspiring me to live a more Christ-centered, wholesome life.
Congratulations again to you both so happy for you guys 💕
I started watching your channel since you and Gabe were doing long distance, and now we both got pregnant in December!! ahhhh can't wait to do this with you ♥
I’m pregnant right now too! I just got past my first trimester and it was the same , I was so horribly sick and tried everything. You’re not alone
As someone who has had multiple pregnancies as well as some miscarriages, a tip is that you can open the Digital Pregnancy Test to look at the strip itself. It basicqlly looks like a test strip on the inside where you can see the test and control line for yourseld. Sometime what's messed up is the actual mechanism that reads whether it's a positive or negative to show on the digital screen. Just FYI❤
Oh my god !! I'm going through the same symptoms you're describing. Especially the "not knowing what to do" part. Its like nothing is bringing you joy anymore 😞.
Ginger and green tea helps alot with nausea. Thanks for sharing ♥♥♥
Jess, you are SO beautiful 😍 The last clip update, you are glowing!
Congratulations on baby # 2!! I hope everything goes well!❤️☺️
Wishing you the best in life, Jess! Can't imagine how long since, I literally grew up with you from being an ldr couple to this ^^
Congratulations on baby #2!! 🥳 Can’t wait to follow along on your journey again! I can’t wait to see Makaiah be a big sis 🥺❤️
Congratulations! I'm so happy for you Jess! I think you're going to love being a mom of two I have a feeling!
As a woman twice your age, I understand your kindness of you not wanting gabe to be let down if he didn't have to be, but it's his responsibility too, to be there for you during those hard and draining times of not getting a positive.
He's wanting you to be pregnant also, so going through that shouldn't be solely on you alone! 😢 That honestly makes me sad to think about bc you're only thinking of protecting him when he should be thinking of supporting you! I mean, why was he not keeping up with when you start your period and asking questions like if you had started or were feeling like you might or not, asking if you were going to test, or when you were going to or wanting to test, etc? This isn't ONLY your job bc your the woman! It takes two and that goes for the WHOLE PROCESS! My heart just breaks for you bc it shows a glimpse into a piece of your relationship with him (tiny part i hope) that I could only wish and hope was better for you! Saying all of this with only care, concern and hope that you can see another side maybe and see that he CAN AND COULD do better and more! I just thought back to the other video when he was annoyingly saying y'all weren't actively trying and keeping up with when to partake in things, etc... THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN VERY CLEAR TO HIM IF HE WAS WANTING THIS CHILD TOO! We don't have to hide our periods or cycles and how they work from the men in our lives or even men in general! It's a natural part of being a woman!
Congratulations, hope by this time you are out of the nausea. I had my first DD not long after yours (2022 Aug) and now I am a week away from my due date with our second :) My 1st trimester with my second was pretty similar regarding symptoms and also a lot more intense, I had constant all-day nausea and even threw up multiple times a day from week 6 until week 14. Nausea only got better after week 18, then I had a month of feeling OKish until the heartburn started again (had the same with my first). This time even the heartburn was a lot worse, I actually asked for some medication for it that THANK GOD solved the issue. I am now actually feeling closest to normal and excited to meet the new member of our family. However, I remember how awful it was this time with my pregnancy so I already told my partner there is NO WAY I am having more than these 2 kids! He has to carry the next himself if he wants more :)
Literally a minor detail, but I looooove The Selection series (18:34). I hope you ended up reading the book! Also, congrats on baby #2 and thanks for being so honest and genuine
This is exactly how I felt with my 2nd pregnancy which was a boy❤ lingering constant nausea from morning until bedtime. I started feeling better around 20 weeks😊
20 weeks!!! oh my gosh. that's when my nausea stopped with my first pregnancy too, but it wasn't this constant!
This makes me so nostalgic 🥺🥺🥺 it reminds me of my first pregnancy and all the emotions 🥺🥺🥺♥️♥️♥️♥️
Hey Jess! So beautiful to see your little family growing. I know you’re probably far enough along now that your nausea has died down but I had HG when pregnant with my daughter and the only thing that helped me were drops from my homeopath xx Good luck with it all!
Congratulations to you both! 🎊❤️🙏🏻 wishing you a happy, easy, and healthy pregnancy!
Ps. digital pregnancy tests tend to be less sensitive to lower levels of the HCG hormone, so sometimes those may come back negative at first.
so happy for you! and i'm so excited for you to be a family of four! crazy! i've been watching since you guys were dating 🥹🫶🏻
December 20th was the day I had my second !! Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy and little one ❤ the second kid is a wild adjustment !but praying for y’all
Jess I had my third baby at a midwife center/birthing center and it was the most beautiful experience ever. I wish I had my other 2 babies there. Definitely look into it but I would recommend it to anyone!!!! Congratulations again love! ❤
Did they offer pain medication? The birth center I gave birth at didn't. It was HORRIBLE and I wish I hadn't chosen to have my baby there. But I can't go back😅
I also had all day sickness. It sucked feeling nauseous all day, but not throwing up. I found that eating was the thing that helped me. My midwife suggested for me to eat small portions every two hours.
Lol the book she held up is The Selection which I read years ago and loved!! Definitely an amazing series from what I remember!
it was SO GOOD
I’m so happy for you Jess & Gabe.. you deserve all the best ❤
Currently in my third trimester and this reminded me of how bad first trimester sickness is! I was the exact same and was medicated until about 15 weeks
Hi Jess! Praying for a healthy pregnancy and baby 🤍🙏🏻
Im so happy for u guys followed your journey with kaia and cant wait to follow u on this one ❤️❤️❤️
My son was born 2018 and my daughter was 11 months later in 2019! I totally understand every emotion, it’s hard but honestly mine are almost 5&6 now and it’s way easier they’re best friends now i love it so worth the sleepless nights 😅❤
I had the worst sickness in my first it lasted the whole pregnancy but my second it slowed down over time and wasn’t half as often it’s crazy how different pregnancies can be
hey Jess! i’m currently pregnant with baby number two (a little girl), i turned 26 weeks yesterday & i also have a 15 month old son 🥰 their age gap will be 18 months, which kinda scares me but i know their bond will be so worth it. this pregnancy has been soooo much worse than my first, my symptoms list would be as long as my arm so i wont bore you with the details 😅
but congratulations on baby number two! we are very blessed and i wish you the best in your pregnancy and your delivery 🤍
p.s. i’m pretty sure we’ve been pregnant at the same time twice now 😂 mama twinsssss! 🥹
Hey Jess😍
thank you sharing its hard and I hope you have a easy pregnancy ♥️I’m on my second pregnancy now and so happy to go through it with you
Also will have them two years apart 🥹 and I would love to see a video about how you are preparing mekaya to be a big sister really important and Dont c it much ♥️♥️
I hope you get feeling better soon! I'm studying in the health field and one thing that's talked about is morning sickness or nausea during pregnancy and magnesium. Idk if you tried it, but magnesium glycinate can be very helpful (sometimes nausea is a symptom of deficiency).
So happy for you ❤ and looking forward to these updates praying for you guys ❤
Congratulations!! 🥹💕
Thank you for speaking on this. I had HG which is a term that they called for extreme nauseous. And mine lasted the entire pregnancy. Just thinking about food or anything I was actually SCARED to eat or drink bc I didn’t want to throw up. I ended up being in hospital multiple times a week just bc I was so dehydrated half the time. They started me on a medication called zofran BUT they also have a picc and something else to administer the zofran rather than taking it as pill. It’s nice to know that there is other women that has gone through this. Its not as common as it should be on talking due to people not understanding or believing women that it’s more then “just nauseous, it’s normal” but it’s not normal to have to be on medication just to function during pregnancy. So I really do appreciate the talk on. You got this, stay strong!
I'm week 14 today and I remember weeks 5-7ish being the worst ones... with nausea and fatigue I couldn't leave the couch basically all day. I was on vacation, but as soon as I went back to work it surprisingly felt a lot more manageable! I don't know if maybe was because being out of the house and around people distracted me from symptoms or what...
congratulations Jess!! so happy for the 4 of you guys🥰🥰🥰
I swear by grass fed beef liver and magnesium for morning sickness! I take liver supplements in the morning (b vitamins help with energy) and magnesium at night to help me sleep. I was only sick the days I skipped those two things! I am due in July with a baby boy and we are planning a homebirth. As a doula I recommend it to anyone who is looking for an alternative birth plan 💛
wow thats amazing!! I do take magnesium at night too! congrats! 💛
I am pregnant almost to the exact same day as you I missed my period on the 22nd! I’ve been so sick even still. Unisom is the only thing that’s kept it somewhat at bay. Some days r worse then others but I’m more able to function now by taking it then before
You looked so pretty at the end of the video, so pleased you are feeling much better now ❤️. Love Julie from England 🏴.
Beyond happy for you guys and you're so strong! I'm also thinking boy but who knows!
Wish you good health in your pregnancy ❤❤❤ sending lots of love. I love watching your daily vlogs so so much ❤❤❤
