Yayy! I'm only a week behind you in pregnancy! The pregnancy pillow has been a lifesaver (I got the exact same one). I finally caved a couple weeks ago and got it, and it wish I had just gotten it from the beginning. I underestimated how bad sleep gets in the last trimester. It was torture without the pillow.
I'm like 16 years old and I have no idea why I'm watching these. It's great to learn new things and your videos are really warm and sweet! Regardless I really enjoy watching these and good luck with your second baby
I'm in the 3rd trimester as well. I snuggle my dogs or my blankets lol. It works. If you go to aeroflow breast pumps you can have them check your insurance to see if you can get compression stockings, a pregnancy band, and a breast pump covered by your insurance and sent to you without paying a penny. The seat pad sounds nice but I am never sitting down long enough for that to be practical. I got a prescription for randitidine where you only have to take one, maybe 2 a day max and it's free. I'm on my feet for about 12 hours every day and I'd say the hiking shoes that I own have been the best because my feet don't hurt at all. Your list is nice and I appreciate you taking the time to show us what works for you, but these are some alternatives for people that may not be able to afford the $50 pillow or the special papaya supplements. 3 after every meal also sounds terrible and to have to take Tums on top of that seems like it would be a hassle. I have a hard time remembering my 1 ranitidine lol
I’m 23 weeks and just bought a pregnancy pillow it’s amazing! And the best thing I’ve ever bought relieves my back pain and hip pain! 😫💙 it’s a big C Shaped pillow
Finally able to say I am 24 weeks (on Friday) and I’ve been loving following your journey with baby boy! I’ll definitely be keeping track of this video just in case I end up needing what you mentioned. 💛
I saw this comment and noticed you posted it 9 months ago, so how did your labor and delivery go? How are you feeling 5 months-ish postpartum and what's it like being a new mom? And of course, how's your little one? 😊 Asking some of this just because I'm just curious how you're doing and all, and some because I'm 30 weeks now and super scared of labor/delivery (for multiple reasons) and just kind of wondering what it's like to be a new mom! 😊 Hope you and your baby and the rest of your family are doing great! God bless.
Jen thank you thank you thank you again these are going to be so helpful for a lot of us someday! It's easy to romanticize pregnancy, and I know a lot of people who go in not knowing the harder parts! It's so nice to hear you be open and honest and really eye opening!!
Get a Dwell and Slumber house dress!!! So comfy for summer and nursing friendly! I would suggest the snaps and not the zipper. You don't want your baby laying on your chest with a zipper. I wore all of mine around the house every day for the first several months.
Epsom salt is such a miracle product. I actually haven't tried it yet whole pregnant, but I've used it for lots of things and it's amazing. Like, the best thing is that it'll pull things out of your skin, like if you have an abscess/boil or a bee stinger or a splinter or something, soaking it in hot epsom-salt-filled water, it's amazing how well it works. I'm also helps with restless legs and stuff like that. I love it. I never even thought of it for the swelling in my feet/legs while pregnant so I definitely need to try that, glad you mentioned it.
Love this! I also recommend CalM(ag) supplement! The calcium is great for heartburn and magnesium is great to keep your emotions up. I like it because you drink it warm and it helps me settle into my night and has helped with my depression a bit!
I just saw this and noticed you posted it a month ago, so if your baby came in time, he/she should be about a week old, so I was just wondering - how did your birth go? And how are you healing and feeling and how's your little one doing? 😊 Hope everything is going great! Good bless you and your family ❤️
@@zzevonplant hi there! My baby is actually almost 4 weeks now. He came 5 days late. The whole labor process went by really fast for me (in reality, labor took about 8 hours). Everything was just happening so fast to me and was so surreal. The healing process is really good too. I'm already almost completely healed. The first week after giving birth is the hardest but afterwards, everything gets easier. 😊
Ugh YES FOREVER to the snoogle!!! I loved it with my first pregnancy and, seriously, the day I found out I was pregnant again I brought it back out. 😂 One thing that has also been my saving grace during third trimester is dry brushing. I really can tell the difference when I do it on a consistent basis-especially in my legs! I don’t have any compression socks, though. But dry brushing has been helpful and even therapeutic!
I'm in my 2nd trimester and on bed rest, so I made sure to get some compression socks, since I spend so much time in bed; I got them during the first trimester.
Why did they have to put you on bed rest? I'm just wondering because I'm 30 weeks and every time I do any kind of physical activity for very long, I get really intense contractions for hours afterwards and it really kind of scares me and laying around doing nothing prevents it and I'm just wondering whether I should be doing much of anything, I don't really know. I had to quit my job already because of it, and I have to be careful cleaning the house because of it too.
Lol here I am nearly 30 weeks pregnant and don't have a single one of these items (mainly 'cause I'm stubborn and don't want to spend money). Except maybe the slippers? But I've always worn slippers so I don't know if those count... anyway. thanks for the helpful ideas.
Looking great!! I gave birth 8 months ago and still enjoy watching your preggy vids!! It's off topic, but did you do the flower arrangement (right side in the vid) yourself? It's beautiful!!
Haha. I practically lived in compression socks during my second pregnancy. My baby came so fast, I didn’t even have time to take them off before delivery.
I have a snoogle and my husband bought it for me. its expensive. i never got on with it cuz i felt it wasnt smushy enough so under my head it irritated me. not sure if there is a way to lay to make it better.
ElouisaMaria Remember that your body was made for this. Nothing can make you feel 100% prepared. Try to relax and enjoy your time before the little one comes :)
@@lessismore7018 I'm reading this like 9 months later, but I'm 30 weeks right now and I've never been so scared of anything in my life (and that's really saying something, I've been through so terrifying things) to the point where I have panic attack about certain aspects of labor/delivery. There are reasons (I can explain if you're curious) that I'm pretty sure are why I'm so much more scared than most people. Like, I know everything is scared/nervous about their first birth, but this is way overboard fear and I know it's way more fear than is normal, but I have no idea what the heck to do about it :/ I don't want the both of my first child to be terrifying and traumatic so I wish I could find a way to so freaking out so much about it.
that flower base looks so pretty behind you

I love you sooo much , Jen. Congrats on the second baby. I can’t wait to see him in some future videos!🤗💕
The belly band with the compartment sounds so nice! I have a regular one but I’d love to have a heating pack added

I sent this video to my friend who is expecting her first sometime in the next month and she found it very helpful. Thank you! :)
I'm a 14 year old girl and I am not married or pregnant😂 But seriously your videos are so enjoyable to watch 😍💕
Me too
❤️👍🏼

Ur hair looks so pretty...these are great essentials too!!! The Epsom salt is amazing especially for swollen feet.

Wonderful videos! I'm at 25 weeks in my first pregnancy. Definitely will invest in a belly band
Can you do a pack your hospital bag video? Thanks!!!
I tell people about compression socks for PP all the time, and they look at me like I’m crazy! Haha Glad to see someone else found relief with them.
24 weeks almost to my 3rd trimester 🎊
I've probably watched this 182839929293939292 times because of my pregnancy brain. Lol! Three weeks left to go!

What the heck is dry brushing? If whatever it is helps with leg/feet swelling and/or pain, I'm all over that lol
Jen please post skincare / make-up recommendations during pregnancy. Thank you! 💕
I'm in my 2nd trimester and on bed rest, so I made sure to get some compression socks, since I spend so much time in bed; I got them during the first trimester.

Loveeee you. Jen! I'm so happy for your next baby 😍😍😍
Where is your dress from? looks so comfy!
What stroller are you planning to get now that your second is on the way?
Lol here I am nearly 30 weeks pregnant and don't have a single one of these items (mainly 'cause I'm stubborn and don't want to spend money). Except maybe the slippers? But I've always worn slippers so I don't know if those count... anyway. thanks for the helpful ideas.
I have 6 weeks left and I'm too broke for all this. Gotta make sure baby is gonna be taken care of before myself
Yaaayyyy new video!! Love you Jenn

Hi Jen, love watching your videos! I just want to ask what things would you recommend for mom during postpartum?
I only have 1 week and 2 days left until im due! im so scared as this is my first child! any tips for a first time mum?
