I’m so so excited for you. I wish you were feeling better, my hope is that as you get further along things settle a bit. It’s good to hear you have access to help, in Canada we don’t seem to have near the level of care (still thankful it’s free too though!!)
Glad you’re getting help! You might soon be able to feel little flutters from baby :) Some things that have helped me stay busy while pregnant are sewing and crocheting. I’ve replaced elastics in some cloth diapers I was gifted, made baby hats, converted some bras into nursing bras, and made my own nursing pads. It helps me keep my mind and hands busy while I’ve been too sick to work or go out much.
When you were talking about being fine while sitting, but unable to walk, it made me think - I wonder how you would feel on one of those recumbent bicycles where you are seated quite low to the ground? It might enable you to get outside and get the blood moving with a bit of exercise for your mental health that you've been missing without your walks. I can imagine it would be a more ergonomic way of moving yourself around than using your arms with a wheelchair, and would make you feel more autonomous and less reminded of your Lyme experience. Just wanted to share in case you might think this is worth trying!
That’s an excellent idea. I like those bikes because they don’t put put a lot of pressure on your privates which makes it easier to “go farther” or longer.
Lightening crotch is usually baby's head on cervix or hitting a nerve (last 4-6 weeks of prenancy). What you're describing sounds more like SPD and occurs much earlier in pregnancy. Ask the midwife there's physio and things can be done, also if it's this they need to adapt birthing positions and how they move your legs so it's best to find out and document it in your notes. Also have you tried compression socks for out and about? They can help POTS a lot.
So happy that we’re able to follow your journey. Just like many others, I too was part of the group that randomly found you like 8 years ago when I was learning about period cups. It’s crazy because we’re actually pregnant at the same time and a lot of what you’ve experienced is what I have. I am currently 27 weeks. One more week until I’m in the 3rd trimester! Even though I’ve always wanted to be a mom, when I found out I was pregnant I was excited but at the same time devastated because I just felt very detached from my body. It’s like my body was no longer my own and I’m just this incubator and if I do anything wrong, then my baby will suffer for it. Well that’s just not true, and it wasn’t until I hit second trimester that it started to feel so much better. I have lots of support from my family and hubby, and it’s just so important that when you feel down, that you’re growing a whole human. It gets a lot more enjoyable when baby starts to kick, because it’s like you can really interact with them and you not feel as alone. I don’t know how to explain it. I’m so excited for my little girl to arrive in December, and it’s truly like I hit a full 180 from when I first found out I was pregnant to now. Stay strong, and just know that you’re not alone and your journey to motherhood is gonna be amazing, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now! Looking forward to your next update, and to just see your journey throughout your pregnancy!
You definitely don't need to be sleeping on your side yet, it's not really needed until late second/third trimester. I made the mistake of sleeping on my side from the beginning and regret it because by 40 weeks your hips are so sore! Make the most of being able to sleep on your back or front!
Watching these has encouraged me to seek mental health support. I’m 25 weeks along with a boy, we have a little girl already and this pregnancy has to my surprise really been a struggle Mental health wise. It’s came out of nowhere, and I’ve felt so guilty because this pregnancy is everything we could have asked for, yet I am a wreck emotionally. More than just the regular more emotional than normal which I had with my daughter, this time it’s extreme. I’m glad I’ve now asked for help, I don’t feel as bad/ guilty about it already
For my lightning crotch was late pregnancy. I'd get what I would describe as an electric shock to the vagina. It would always make me jump and awkwardly always happened when I was walking around the shops.
I can't believe youre pregnant! I've been following you ever since I found you doing that period simulator vid years back. Congratulations, I know you'll make a great mother.
I’m 11 weeks pregnant today. Thankfully my symptoms haven’t been too bad. I had some nausea and food aversions earlier on but seem to have gone now. Have had acid reflux, bloating and constipation throughout, hopefully it might improve soon. I had very bad exhaustion and dizziness for a couple of weeks earlier on too but thankfully seems to have gone. I’m having some insomnia now and struggling to sleep which is annoying. I was super worried about mental health but thankfully seems okay so far. I’ve struggled with my mental health for the past 10 years and was on medication for 5 years, I stopped taking it last year. I’ve had a few days where I’ve felt down and very emotional but think it’s just the pregnancy hormones and mood swings. I’m keeping a close eye on my mental health. Well done for getting help as it can be really difficult and I hope your symptoms improve soon.
What you described as lighting crotch sounds like my early stage of SPD. It may be worth bringing up with your care team, possibly asking about seeing a physio for support as it can be quite rough to manage.
I was 19 when I had my second, I suffered horribly with depression while I was pregnant with him( even developed agoraphobia) I never told anyone how bad it was because I had another child and I was worried about people taking my other child from me ( irrational I know). Until now I never had heard about other people suffering during pregnancy. I should note that my 3rd pregnancy this did not happen as badly, nor my first . However with all three of my children (worsening each time). I had post natal depression and it was very bad , I suffered in silence as well out of fear of people thinking I was crazy or taking my children ( depression really takes over rationalization). My children are older now and I feel more comfortable sharing. Glad you are normalizing it .
You seem a bit more brighter and smiley in this video. Pleased you're doing a bit better with the symptoms. Wishing you all the luck and thanks so much for sharing these updates. Had my last baby 5 years ago but still love hearing other people's experiences whether 'good or bad'
I’m glad you are able to find ways to get through your pregnancy and you’re able to enjoy it as much as you can. Keep going with therapy and using the wheelchair when you can. And don’t listen to the rude people - you are explaining, not complaining! I’m wishing you health & happiness and I look forward to your next video ❤
I hope you’re mental health improves (haven’t watched the update video yet) and thank you for talking about it, I knew it was a thing but most people don’t like to talk about and as someone who struggles with mental health I feel better knowing in the future if I don’t have the best time mentally during a pregnancy it’s not my fault and I can get help 🥺💚
When I was pregnant my food aversions lasted the whole pregnancy it got better but I couldn’t touch Mayo and saucy foods. Pasta is my fave food but I could t touch it. Same with pizza. Couldn’t eat it. As soon as my daughter was born, my fiancé ordered me a massive dominos and I demolished it. I couldn’t eat a lot towards the end due to how big my baby got so it was nice to eat. I craved fruit all the way through. Apple juice from 5 weeks to all the way through and pineapples and oranges from about 15 weeks to about 10 minutes before she was born!!! I’m loving watching you on your journey 🤍
This is my first video i’ve seen of yours since i was like 9 because I was so sure I was going to get my period so i used to watch all your content (didn’t get it until 13 lol) and now you’re pregnant! congrats, best of luck and i wish nothing but happiness for your family
I struggled with fainting and low blood pressure a lot in my 1st-2nd trimester. I’m in 3rd trimester now and eating a lot more salt has greatly helped with my keeping my blood pressure from being too low.
Hi Bryony! (I still want to call you Bree, I watched all your videos years ago when I was getting into using cloth pads) have you tried getting a blood pressure cuff to keep at home to monitor your bp? Also I know this is entirely random but what is the photo to the right side of the clock? Every video I look at it but I can’t figure out what it is lol!
omg! Was just checking to see if you had new pushchair or pram reviews now that I just found out I'm pregnant. How exciting, big congratulations to you, will catch up on what I've missed.
I loved this video, thank you so much for sharing ! I'm 25 weeks now and have been having a really rough time too. Especially with intense morning sickness, then when that passed the exhaustion. I too have stubbornly accepted the help from family by allowing them to push me around in a wheelchair etc but have been so frustrated by how poorly I feel like I am dealing with this pregnancy. It's very difficult and draining to be blessed with a beautiful baby but be stuck being sick and feel as though you're unable to enjoy your pregnancy fully. It's so reassuring to see that other women have similar experiences as it is not often spoken about. I hope you feel better soon. I noticed that I am having more good days now as the weeks have gone on but there's still an undercurrent there that catches up with me every now and again 💞.
Ooo I also never burp! I don’t drink anything other than water, so maybe that’s why. When I’m one day pregnant, it’ll be interesting to see if I end up burping a lot.
I completely sympathise with you. My first and second trimesters were awful, I found it so hard to function or really enjoy the pregnancy. The third trimester was incredible though and I could really look forward to birth and beyond. Wishing you the best.
I was very out of breath and fatigued during my pregnancy at first and things like electrolyte tabs, coconut water to keep my magnesium and potassium levels were where they needed to be really helped.
Lightening crotch for me was like a sharp kick in the vagina. I did get the aching in my pelvic bone and that was the start of SPD for me, so it would be worth mentioning it to your midwife in case you need a physio referral.

I know you tried to go for your own mental health so way to go on trying and making as many accommodations as possible to be there and participate. I imagine being reliant on people and down in daily health feelings is triggering some past trauma of forced dependency on your parents and medical support (as well as just more not feeling well). I hope you can sort out your mental health and not have to suffer the whole pregnancy. I know if it’s depression that you can take Zoloft I think for antidep meds. I don’t know if that’s right for you obviously but just info. I also imagine being triggered to old trauma and having nothing to do would exacerbate the problem and give you too much time to focus on it.

I have chronic pain and know that distraction is key to staying grounded and sane. Sometimes extra rest is detrimental and having to lay around is par for the course so you have to learn to be happy with your time this way for awhile. Luckily it’s temporary and you can daydream about life as a new mum and how you will enjoy that with a baby in tow. Your mental health is really important so I am glad you have a provider for that as well. You are smart so you will have the double edged sword of being painfully aware of things being off but you have the capacity to dig deeply and find distractions and all the support you have been accepting. Great job on attending the group even halfway thru and speaking with the therapist afterwards. Sometimes you just need to focus on lighter mindless fun things too and just kick back and ride the waves of pregnancy and make the most of the good times and surf the bad (with help). I think you are doing well with all of the challenges posed to you. Keep posting and reaching out for help as and when. Best of luck in the coming days!
It happened to me! I had Dynamic osteopathy of the pubis (pubalgia) like footballers do get sometimes! Couldn't move on my own during the last two months of my pregnancy... Luckily the extreme pain was gone days after my baby was born.
Ohh i feel the struggel with hypotension. I had it with three pregnancys, symtom are realy horribel before the fainting. Only thing that helped me was having feet high and eating ever two hours and pregnancy yoga. Mentally made me feel isolated and disalbeled from life. (also had bad SPD) But luckily went back to normal after birth. 💕 Loving you share thees topics. Sending you love and hugs 🥰
That food aversion might as well be a result from the mental health struggle rather than a direct preg symptom. Stress and depression can lower appetite, and anxiety can make you feel physically nauseous. I struggle with eating whenever I'm more stressed, anxious or depressed than normal. Feels so stupid; when I have a busier time at my very physical job, I eat less. Thankfully I only work part-time, so if a particular week or month is busy, the next week or month will be way quieter. Getting 25 000 steps a day and eating 4 slices of bread and a couple hundred grams of crisps/chips is definitely not good.... Not that eating that same amount on days when laying in bed depressed is good either, but at least it's closer to the needed amount then😂 Despite my struggles with appetite I have weighed pretty much the normal amount whenever I happen upon scales; only when I had just moved from home for the first time I had a surprisingly low number staring at me, and had to consciously force myself to eat even on days when nothing was appealing.
It’s crazy to see how small you are compared to me! I’m 20 weeks with my second baby and I looked bigger than you do now at 6 weeks 😂 I feel like I’m at the end of pregnancy but I’m only half way there… I would love to stay small for so long!! Wishing you health and happiness!
@@CountryChloDoh bloating and/or if it’s their 2nd pregnancy would make them seem like they do. Just because the uterus doesn’t make a bump doesn’t mean someone can’t look like they have one smh
I'm 31 years old I'm currently 14 weeks and 1 day pregnant with baby number 3 ...when I had my son nearly 14 years ago...I was out shopping and I felt so dizzy so I went outside for some fresh air but then I remember going really dizzy I fainted on the floor outside the shop people come over to check how I was lifted me up onto the bench and I was fine after about 10 minutes I am so petrified of going out alone now incase I faint while pregnant ...ive still got some nausea aswell with this pregnancy and am throwing up at least once a day I hope it goes soon lol 💗xx
I have yet to experience pregnancy myself but when coworkers have been pregnant I have literally heard them say “it feels like someone’s trying to zap my vagina” so I hope for your sake your lightning crotch doesn’t get worse
U should I uld really get ur iron checked hun... it's a simple finger pick an very normal be enemic in pregnancy... it absolutley sgatters you the way u explain
You do realize it’s not bloating it’s a baby ? Your abdomen will strength and grow as the baby grows. You are very tiny in the belly considering you are almost half way thru your pregnancy.
@@kcv0605 so true. I didn’t start noticeably showing until 7 months. When I announced my pregnancy at work I was 17 weeks and nobody had a clue. If you’re slim to start with then your stomach kind of expands outwards but doesn’t stick out like a bump would.
I'm from Ayrshire in Scotland and we called 'lightening crotch' the more crude 'fanny daggers' 😂
I'm north west England and we call it 'shooty bum pain' 😂
I’m so so excited for you. I wish you were feeling better, my hope is that as you get further along things settle a bit. It’s good to hear you have access to help, in Canada we don’t seem to have near the level of care (still thankful it’s free too though!!)

@@whyamigae9666 Yes those are the ones I'm thinking of!
They're very expensive!

Out of interest, will you still be fostering alongside raising your own baby, once he or she is born?
Hey Bryony, as you said you look for activities to fill your time, how about sewing baby clothes?
Omg yes!! A line with her business for baby/mom stuff!

Hi bryony! Just curious, do you have any names in mind for baby?
Yes!
I love watching your videos! And so excited to watch your journey to becoming a mom ❤️ I’m due April 5th with my 3rd baby
I was very out of breath and fatigued during my pregnancy at first and things like electrolyte tabs, coconut water to keep my magnesium and potassium levels were where they needed to be really helped.
Do you know if you’re having a boy or a girl yet? So excited! My symptoms are super similar to yours (we’re both 19 weeks in real time)
Lightening crotch for me was like a sharp kick in the vagina. I did get the aching in my pelvic bone and that was the start of SPD for me, so it would be worth mentioning it to your midwife in case you need a physio referral.
I get lighting crotch on my period😂
It’s so awkward
Your growing a human that's a big thing
Congratulations
Thanks for sharing.
If you're still feeling shattered and breathless get the doctors to check your iron levels. Common for people to get anemia during pregnancy
Glad your nausea is chilling out and you can tolerate food. The travel experience sounds like bad timing with the queen’s death and then feeling poorly during walks. I know you tried to go for your own mental health so way to go on trying and making as many accommodations as possible to be there and participate.
I imagine being reliant on people and down in daily health feelings is triggering some past trauma of forced dependency on your parents and medical support (as well as just more not feeling well).

I have chronic pain and know that distraction is key to staying grounded and sane.

Luckily it’s temporary and you can daydream about life as a new mum and how you will enjoy that with a baby in tow. Your mental health is really important so I am glad you have a provider for that as well. You are smart so you will have the double edged sword of being painfully aware of things being off but you have the capacity to dig deeply and find distractions and all the support you have been accepting. Great job on attending the group even halfway thru and speaking with the therapist afterwards.
Sometimes you just need to focus on lighter mindless fun things too and just kick back and ride the waves of pregnancy and make the most of the good times and surf the bad (with help). I think you are doing well with all of the challenges posed to you. Keep posting and reaching out for help as and when. Best of luck in the coming days!
Gosh ive never heard of someone not being able to walk during pregnancy! I hope you’re back to normal once the baby is here. Good luck 😌 x

I'm 31 years old I'm currently 14 weeks and 1 day pregnant with baby number 3 ...when I had my son nearly 14 years ago...I was out shopping and I felt so dizzy so I went outside for some fresh air but then I remember going really dizzy I fainted on the floor outside the shop people come over to check how I was lifted me up onto the bench and I was fine after about 10 minutes I am so petrified of going out alone now incase I faint while pregnant ...ive still got some nausea aswell with this pregnancy and am throwing up at least once a day I hope it goes soon lol 💗xx
I fainted at work with my first pregnancy. I was so, so embarrassed!!
You should do a a&q
Hi there,
Came to wish you well. I'd love to know when you're due please. Thanks xx
Random thing but i think u would look really nice with a frindge/ bangs.
Omg YES
A light side swept fringe yes 👍
I hated the taste in my mouth.
I have yet to experience pregnancy myself but when coworkers have been pregnant I have literally heard them say “it feels like someone’s trying to zap my vagina” so I hope for your sake your lightning crotch doesn’t get worse
I don't think it's lightening it's symphysis it gets worse as you go further along some women even need a wheelchair for that.
When are you due I’m due Jan 4 2023
and at 5:02 I just burped on demand.
U should I uld really get ur iron checked hun... it's a simple finger pick an very normal be enemic in pregnancy... it absolutley sgatters you the way u explain
The belly looks like it is going to be oval shape/which means a boy baby.
First 😂
You do realize it’s not bloating it’s a baby ? Your abdomen will strength and grow as the baby grows. You are very tiny in the belly considering you are almost half way thru your pregnancy.
Do you know her body more than her? I think she’ll be able to tell what’s bloating and what isn’t for her better than you
She’s a very normal size for 16-17 weeks for a first baby. I was around the same size with my first and I was measuring bang on for dates.
Have you ever had children? Most people dont start showing until around 20 weeks. The baby is still extremely small it’s literally bloat still😂🤦🏼♀️
@@kcv0605 so true. I didn’t start noticeably showing until 7 months. When I announced my pregnancy at work I was 17 weeks and nobody had a clue. If you’re slim to start with then your stomach kind of expands outwards but doesn’t stick out like a bump would.
@@justhaleymarie9140 yeah no. that’s not true 😂
I truly appreciate you for allowing us to follow you on your new journey to Motherhood 🤗🤍🙏🏼
