Maybe you and Zack or just Zack could do a video about dads! Like how he felt and how his life changed. I feel like there's plenty of content on mom's, but not too much dads? 🤷 Just a thought lol
Am I pregnant? No. Am I trying to get pregnant right now? No. Am I still watching this? HECK YES I AM!!!! Love your videos, Delilah!!!! Edit: Wow, thank you everyone for all the likes!!! I’m a very small RUclipsr and I’d love your support!!
Things people don't tell you somebody pregnancy, " THAT NOT EVERYBODY PREGNANCY IS THE SAME! DON'T LET PEOPLE SCARE YOU WITH THEIR PREGNANCY STORIES, WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN JOURNEY". ❤️
I had the opposite experience. Literally everyone told me that every pregnancy is different. Every little piece of advice I tried to get, that's the answer I was given lol.
Loved this! I’m pregnant with my first and it has been a wild ride. Aches, pains, nausea, dizziness, hormonal roller coaster. It’s crazy to see how different each pregnancy really is. I felt ashamed for being so miserable while pregnant because everyone says it’s a beautiful thing be grateful and while I am grateful I am also in pain 24/7. It’s nice to hear I’m not alone!
Mackenzie Burt I feel you!! I’m 10 weeks pregnant and SO miserable. I’m nauseous a lot of the time, I throw up at lot too, plus the exhaustion and the acid reflux, I don’t have good days. I’m happy too, it’s a dream come true, but it’s hard...
Same! I’m 14 weeks and felt terrible for the first 12 weeks, even questioned where is this “glow” everyone constantly speaks about. I’m so so grateful to be pregnant but it’s not all butterflies and roses. Our bodies are going through the most
Pray for your healthy baby and you. I was upset whenever someone asked me if i am excited to be gregnant....I was also not warned by anyone, how much pain, severe mood swings, weight gain, severe leg sparms,severe Oedema, food aversion, 24/7 morning sickness, severe reflux etc... a pregnant mum has to gone through... I can not list all of them....( if you do not have any pf these symptoms... You are so lucky....😂) in fact i love my baby who is growing well inside of me. I just accept the fact that this sickness will only last for 9months... Not my whole life😅But everyone is different. I hope you are ok. God bless you.
Im 20weeks with my first and girl this comment really hit home! I feel the same way. Everyone around me kept saying how lucky I am and literally in the beginning I had hyperemesis and then now in my second trimester I have sciatica and pelvic pain constantly like it makes it hard to enjoy the pregnancy! So its nice to hear im not the only one❤️
I resonate so much with all of this. My biggest fear has always been infertility. My first two pregnancies ended in miscarriage, my third and current pregnancy has been easy physically, but so difficult emotionally. Today is 22 weeks for this little rainbow babe and I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that he’s actually gonna come out and be real!
I'm sorry you had 2 miscarriages. It's a blessing you are pregnant now. Maybe consider having your thyroid hormones checked. It's a major reason why some people miscarry. I had a miscarriage as well and it turned out I had low free T3.
Im pregnant with my first and something i didnt expect was how incredibly different your pregnancy can be from the way you imagined it being. Before i was pregnant, i was so excited to be pregnant one day! I wanted it so bad! But as soon as i found out i was pregnant, prenatal depression took over. These past 9 months have been the hardest months of my life! But even so, i am so thankful that i am able to carry this child💕 loved the video Delilah!
It's not always what we think or hope it will be ❤ I desperately wanted to be pregnant but I had a really hard time struggling through our first few months of parenthood (especially because my son was really colicky, had nursing issues, and I had postpartum depression and my husband also really struggled with the transition).. I didnt really feel like I hit my stride until 4 months or so, and then it got a lot better at 8 months and even better at a year. It's been a hard journey, becoming a mother!
Teresa Thiessen Same here. I have been having so many symptoms especially extreme nausea. It really messes with my emotions and I get depressed because I am not myself. I started going to a therapist and it really helps to talk to someone❤️ Good luck mama stay strong💕
I'm so thankful that I didn't feel any different throughout the whole first two trimesters. Never felt nauseous, felt any pain and aches, could still do quite a lot of activities without feeling too tired. I'm 27 weeks pregnant now, baby is properly showing and I'm getting quite a lot of pregnancy spots but what the hell I'm so excited and happy about this tiny adorable being inside me! All the best to all pregnant women out there 😊
I’m a bit late to the conv, but the pica was maybe a symptom of iron deficiency. Sawbones podcast “pica and eating dirt” is a really interesting explanation by an MD that is informative and entertaining.
I’m 25 weeks along in my first pregnancy and it has been a rather difficult experience for me up to this point. In the first trimester I was diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum, so I was sick all day and nearly every day for almost four months and even hospitalized once. Thankfully, by the grace and mercy of God, that’s gotten much better and nearly gone away. But now in my second trimester I’m experiencing some pretty gnarly exhaustion. Every day I’m struggling to have energy to do even the smallest of things. Taking all this into account, I’d say that the most important thing I’ve learned about pregnancy is that: while you’re pregnant, you should go easy on yourself, practice self-care constantly and have a good support system around you. Thanks for the video, Delilah. God bless. 💐
I'm also 25 weeks with my first child and you dont know what this video means to me.... I am not close to my mother, I was only ever close to my grandmother and she passed almost a year ago now. To be able to sit down and feel like even if for a few mins I'm understood means the world to me. I've been struggling with feeling like I just need a female to talk to and your video brought me to tears. Thank you for who you are and all the hard work you put in to make videos ❤
I had to get a toddler toothbrush and toddler toothpaste during my first trimester because of this. The only times I actually ever vomited from the nausea was when I was trying to brush my teeth.
Omg I had the worst gag reflex to the point where I would get nauseous (sometimes would get sick) then I would have to lie down and wait until I felt better just to try to start over and brush my teeth again 🤣
I loved that you mentioned the short doc visits, and the unhelpful ness of that when you’re feeling so uncertain in the beginning! I’ve definitely been experiencing this and I’m in my first pregnancy.
I watched this video with my partner bc if, as females, we are not told all these sides of pregnancy, men are even LESS aware of this reality ! And guess what : he loved it and found it very genuine and useful ! Big thumbs up for that 👍🏼❤️
As a mama to be currently in the very beginning of my second trimester, I didn’t realize how sick you really do get... like I always kind of assumed that it was kind of dramatic. Literally lost more than 10% of my body weight, so thankful to finally be feeling better
Delilah, the quality in this is so freaking good! I have loved watching how your artistry and quality has just continued to get better and better each video! Also even though I've already had a baby and been pregnant I LOVED this video! I wanna send it to every pregnant mama I know!!!
I’m pregnant with my first right now, so happy to find another sister in Christ sharing her perspective on the journey. Thank you! And ur style/aesthetic is simply gorgeous ♥️
I'm 37 weeks today and getting induced at 38 weeks, and I cannot stop watching all of your videos. I think I've watched every single video of yours, and I only discovered your channel about a week ago.. love your content!
I had a miscarriage between my two babies, and I think I suffered a little from ptsd...I don’t wanna use that word lightly, cause I know people who have traumatizing experiences and deal with ptsd, but throughout my pregnancy(the pregnancy after my miscarriage) I ended up with postnatal depression and major anxiety, and fear of losing my baby, i think it made it harder for me to bond with my unborn baby, cause I almost feel like I resented her, cause I was pregnant with her, and not with the baby I lost...its a hard pill to swallow and hard to come out and say it/admit it, cause it makes you feel like the worst mom, or like I don’t love my baby, I kept telling myself, once baby is here I’ll be better..well I did suffer from postpartum depression, and now that my baby is 10 months old, I’m still dealing with it, but I’m a lot better than I was and I’ve learned to cope. I have bonded with her, I love her to death, nothing is hindering me from loving her to the fullest, I’ve learned, just cause I grieved the loss of my baby I lost, it doesn’t make me a bad mom, and my hormones were and still are, way off. I still fight tears thinking about my baby I lost, I’m still struggling to move past it, but every time I look at my rainbow, I think of how blessed I am that God allowed me to have her, and so soon after losing my other baby.
Michaela Jones So sorry. I had 2 miscarriages and they were the most traumatizing experiences of my life. I suffered from anxiety, depression, and ptsd. Even getting my period each month was hard seeing blood because it reminded me of my miscarriage. I ended up going to a therapist and I realized that my angel babies were in a better place. My first baby would have had a horrible father and my second baby wouldn’t have had the best and I was in a hard place figuring out my life. I am now pregnant with my rainbow and currently 14 weeks pregnant. It’s hard to talk to my baby because I am scared I will get attached and lose my baby. But I realized that I rather my baby know how much his mom loves him or her rather than never hearing my voice or a I love you from me💝💙 God has blessed you with a sweet angel in heaven🙏🏻 It’s okay to grieve maybe get some professional help. Enjoy your baby on earth she is a blessing from god❤️🙏🏻
@@gabydoss2027 Thank you both for sharing your experiences, I am going through the same feelings and I am afraid of how I am going to feel towards my baby when I get pregnant. Hope you stay strong.
Thank you for this video. I lost my little boy in 12th week of pregnancy. Now I'm 26 weeks with my second baby boy but I'm still scared that something can go wrong. You reminded me to appreciate every minute when my little one is in my belly and pray more :).
Pregnancy is so different than I imagined! Pre-pregnancy I was very fit, ran daily, lifted weights, I was convinced I was gonna be fit & active through my whole pregnancy. I just got into the second trimester and haven’t exercised ONCE. I’m exhausted, so incredibly sick, prenatal depression, abdominal pain, back pain, eating is torture, no sex drive, etc. Always had respect for mommas but WOW has it magnified. So excited to meet my little one though 🥰
Thank you!!! Thank you for being so honest and down to earth about answering your questions. I’m 19 and engaged and it feels like I’m talking to a big sister getting advice in a safe space. All I see on social media is perfect families and happy kids, easy breastfeeding easy marriage easy breezy everything. It’s so refreshing to have someone willing to answer the questions we are all asking.
i’m pregnant and agree with it being hard to comprehend. i’m so excited, but often have moments where i think “wow, i’m really going to be someone’s mom”
NOBODY PURCHASE FUNCTION OF BEAUTY!!! Tons of people have talked about their shampoos working at first and then eventually putting their hair in a WORSE condition than it was before. My close friend tried it and it gave her an extremely dry scalp even though her shampoo was “designed” to avoid that!!! Just giving you guys a heads up, please watch out for these products!😭💗
The constant anxiety of being pregnant after a miscarriage. With the Army most of my ultrasounds are 10 weeks apart and the in betweens has me worried for him..
Nobody told me that I would loose my sex drive. And it wasn’t even just sex, it was kissing or even hugging sometimes. It just made me feel so extremely uncomfortable. I tried to talk to other women about this and even my obgyn, but I never felt like they truly UNDERSTOOD what I was going through I lost my sex drive at around 3 months and I am now 1 month postpartum and I still don’t have it back 😞 It put unnecessary strain in my relationship
@@laurenemond7033 I am doing well! It came back slowly but surely. It took my body about 9 months postpartum to get back to pre pregnancy sex drive so don’t worry about your sed drive it will come back! Everyone is different so you might get it even sooner
You are the first person that I have ever heard describe feeling the same way about becoming a mother as I do. I have felt a deep and profound aching pain in my heart out of yearning to become a mother ever since I was 15 years old, and sometimes that pain would be so bad that I would have actual dysphoria when I would look in the mirror and not see a pregnant belly. I’m 22 now and I’m still not a mother or even married so that yearning has dulled a tiny bit but is still mostly the same. I used to take to google to see if there were other women who felt the same but I couldn’t really find anything. It’s good to know that there is at least one other person who had something similar!
Thank you so much for this! I’m 32 weeks pregnant with my second baby, and I’m definitely having a harder time enjoying this pregnancy, and not feeling like myself. It’s so nice to hear someone share a similar story, and know that I’m not alone! ❤️
I used to comment all the time and now I watch the videos when I can but still support you! lol You are like the only mom on YT I watch because how honest you are and also I’m taking some tips when I get pregnant 🤰🏻
I'm 29 week pregnant from Vancouver! I've been enjoying a lot your pregnant story when you had Eloise and then Theo. I find being pregnant is miracle and incredible that everyone's experience is just different as well as children, and that is OK. Now I'm trying to focus on my body not being intimitated by what someone else says. Can't wait to watch your postpartum video!
The first trimester for me was a breeze I didn’t have any morning sickness with my son except being dizzy and sleeping a ton, I knew that something was wrong because I was being super mean to my fiancé. I didn’t want cuddles, I didn’t want him to hug me or to show any affection. How I knew the day before I found out? I had a dream I was pregnant and then the next day BOOM positive, it’s like God was telling me to be prepared for this wild journey ♥️ I have 3 more weeks left on this pregnancy 💕🍼
My baby is 3 months and it's still surreal for me. I still cant believe that I carried a living being for 37 weeks and I've managed to keep him alive for 3 months. BUT he is the light if my life and my heart finally feels complete ❤❤❤
I love your vídeos, I'm pregnant and my emotions are Crazy, but u say something important. "I feel happy cause I will have another baby,, but no the same happy self" lots of love I'm from Mexico
I am currently 13 weeks pregnant. It’s taken us 3 years and I was completely floored when the test showed two lines 😳💖 I am beyond excited and totally doesn’t feel real! Even when we had the ultrasound (to confirm everything was okay at 9 weeks) and I bawled my face off ☺️ Thank you for talking about the nitty gritty, I totally appreciate it 💓
The doctors thing was so spot on. I’m a FTM at about 8-10 weeks (idk, haven’t had an ultrasound yet!) and I’m just so surprised... like I’ve only seen my doctor once just an appointment where they confirmed I was pregnant and booked an ultrasound, and then I also have to screen for another thing and the screening office was so short and rude to me because I didn’t know what the words they were using were or meant. Ugh!
I'm in Nova Scotia, Canada and here, you're first ultrasound is at 20 weeks, where you can find out the gender! We couldn't wait that long to check on our little one, so we went to a private clinic at 11 weeks to see it and hear the heart beat, which was amazing! That's when it hit me how real it was and how amazing it was I had a little life growing inside me! We also cannot wait until 20 weeks to figure out the gender, so we are going back to the private clinic next week (at 16 weeks) to figure out the gender. Apparently since the baby has less chub on them at 16 weeks, it is easier to tell the gender. Pretty interesting, plus it is the earliest time they will confidently tell you. Loving pregnancy so far, definitely had a bit of a rough first trimester but I still count myself lucky and now that I'm in the second trimester, it has been awesome so far! Really enjoyed this video and looking forward to the rest of the series!
I just had my first a month ago and YES! I was super excited to lay on my stomach once my little one came. I was a competitive swimmer for most of my life and had a lot of shoulder injuries so laying on my side and on my shoulders and hips gave me so much pain, no matter how many pregnancy pillows I had. Most night I just opted for sleeping sitting up because it was the only way I could actually sleep! Now that he is here, even with the short amount of sleep that I get, I still get better quality sleep versus when I was pregnant and could sleep for longer periods of time solely due to the reason of sleeping on my belly.
Haha I love that you were looking forward to your sleeping positions. For some reason with my pregnancy, sleeping on my left side and on my back were the only 2 positions that I would naturally go to, no matter what I tried. Now that I had my little one about a week ago, I can’t wait to feel healed up enough to finally go back to sleeping on my stomach!
Good video idea! Every person and their pregnancies are different, but it's so good to tell your experience and to let new moms what to expect and feel more comfortable asking questions. ✨
When you said you didn't feel yourself I get that. Its my first pregnancy. My emotions are weird and thankful my dr found a good therapist for me. It's so weird how much everything has changed during pregnancy so far and I'm only 11 weeks.
I know this is an old video but I wanted to watch this since I am pregnant again. I carried mine low too. I never bled while pregnant so that sounds really scary, going through the experience you had. I have heard of people going through that, and since you said you had a miscarriage, I can imagine that being extremely scary. I definitely felt and knew I was pregnant with all of mine before my period was to come. I just felt. . different. I was only trying for the first but that one I felt the most because I started falling asleep at 8 PM when I was 22 years old and used to staying up pretty late. I got married at 20 btw. Love those young couples marrying and starting families.
I live in Canada and I had ultrasounds monthly. You can have them, but you either pay out of pocket or your health insurance (if you have that through work) covers them. So I was very fortunate in getting to see my first monthly. With this pregnancy my OB has a handheld ultrasound machine and he does a quick check every appointment for free and that has been really nice as well.
Yyeessss, NOTHING can prepare you for pregnancy or postpartum. I wish someone would have told me that. But again that’s part of the beauty. Love your videos, found your channel when I first found out I was pregnant and am so happy I did!
Hi there! I just stumbled across this video, Thank you so much for making it. I am 21 weeks today with my first and I have been so excited to have a baby one day. It’s been so weird to grasp the concept that there is a baby in there. I have been feeling like a terrible person for not being able to fully get it. So far I really haven’t been enjoying pregnancy. I’ve had so much nausea/sickness I’ve lost 20 lbs so far. I’m still puking and man I wish there was a better understanding for society that it’s not the same for each woman/pregnancy. However, I am so excited to have my baby girl!
I’m currently 28 weeks with my first and one thing I’ve hated is how people ask me how I’m doing. I know most of just making small talk and being polite, but I find that I really don’t want to talk to anyone about it unless I know they’re being genuine. I also hate the unsolicited advice and when people point out my weight gain like it’s a joke. It’s been a journey grasping the reality of having a baby inside of me because I honestly still forget!
Thank you for your words about the differencesnb between the first and the second pregnancy. I'm experiencing something similar. I'm pregnant with my second and have an 18month old. I've been really sick (nausea, vomiting, low energy) and it hasn't really stopped at 12weeks like it did the first time. I'm also struggling emotionally, having times where I almost feel depressed. Struggling to be alone with toddler, struggling with work - even though either work og toddler has changed for the worse. But I certainly have. Just went down to part time at work and hope it will provide me with what I need to get through this pregnancy with more joy and a more positive attitude. So thank you for that. Struggling very much with the guilt and shame over my feelings as well.
I’m 12 weeks pregnant and have already had about 15 doctors appointments and 2 er visits. it has been SO hard on my body. It also has to do with the fact that I have an extensive cardiac history and had open heart surgery only 2 months before getting pregnant. But I definitely wasn’t expecting it to be this bad
Thank you for making this video! I’m so thankful to know a little bit more of what to expect! I’m 16 weeks with our little boy and I’m so excited to be a first time mama and document the process on my channel!!!
Made my own custom formula! Excited to see it work its wonders ! Thank you for the 20% off! Super informational, not pregnant yet, but it's nice to know what to expect when my husband and I start trying. :)
I love you girl but you gotta do more research on the ingredients in function of beauty. I tried it and researched it and the ingredients were TERRIBLE! Known carcinogens and the like. The company is very sly about it, claiming things like “paraben free” but then they replace that ingredient with things that are just as bad if not worse under names the public isn’t as familiar with. 😞
Nuna A well the company is very vague about their ingredients and don’t give you a list until you actually make a purchase. (Because it’s “customized” for each person) Once I got my bottles and saw the full ingredient list I was shocked. I researched the ingredients one by one on multiple different sites and study articles, since a lot of them I had never seen before. They are quite sly. I reached out to the company telling them that I was disappointed and never got a reply. 😕
What you said about not feeling like yourself related to me on a personal level. I'm pregnant with my first and from the moment I conceived I have not felt good or like myself at all. Even though I'm in the 2nd trimester and having some better days I never have a day where I feel completely well. I'm excited for these videos and to hear your take on things.
I'm 20 weeks and let me tell you, when you were talking about not being able to fathom there's a human inside of you, man did I agree. I think I'm only just now starting to believe it for real! My first trimester was SUPER rough, emotionally and physically, to the point that my husband and I were questioning if we were ready! But after our anatomy scan, we got a taste of this little ones personality (he/she wouldn't sit still and we only got one picture - and he/she's flipping us off in the picture!! 😂) We're realizing what's going on and we're giddy with happiness! We really had to lean on the Lord and He has truly guided us through the hard times towards the light. Can't wait to meet munchkin in May! Love your videos, Delilah, can't wait for the rest of the series ❤️❤️❤️
I am pregnant with my first baby. And I had a bad start with bad hyperemesis gravidarum until I was 20 weeks far. I also got bleedings and had to spend some time in the hospital. My body used the 2nd trimester to recover from that but then soon the water build up and other issues appeared, so I was quite unable to do a lot of stuff and had pains and was leck of air. Plus the baby is laying upside down the belly doesn't sink and she squeezes her head into my stomach and rips... I am now 38+1 but I do not wanna miss this experience. But I am glad when she is finally here.
Not planning on getting pregnant for a few more years, but it's nice to have some preparation for the details through videos like this one. Thank you for sharing your experiences, Delilah!
Thats a nice one! Thank you! I always wondered how pregnancy might REALLY feel... Now I'm even more excited to get pregnant one day. Love your channel Delilah!
I have no plans on having children any time soon, I’m quite young too (18, turning 19 in a few months) BUT having children has never been more on my mind than now. So thank you for making these videos, in case I do have children. I know it’ll make a difference for me and my husband whoever he will be:’)
I had so many ultrasounds with my little girl because I had a high risk pregnancy. I have a short cervix so I got to see her weekly from about 20 weeks to about 2-3 weeks to the end.
OK but underboob chafing is so real and i had never even heard of this before and lemme tell ya i did a TON of reading beforehand and never saw this coming :D . I thought there was something wrong with me when at about 8 months i got this awful pain under my breasts and it felt like my skin was very badly burnt but there was no visible sign of anything. It's my only "bad" symptom during my entire pregnancy and everybody just talking about morning sickness and here I am, barely sleeping at night because my underboobs hurt :D So i googled it and it turned out a lot of women have it and its because your belly is so big that the skin between belly and boobs gets kinda pinched and sweaty which combination causes this horror and the solution is washing, drying, moisturising and applying something cold but dry (I use my water bottle) and it saved me but still I cant wait for it to be over any day now. Hope I helped :D
My pregnancies with my boys were SO different from the ones with my girls! We have never found out our Baby's gender, but I have a pretty good idea, just from comparing things. Morning sickness, my mood, and whether or not I'm "glowing" are huge indicators for me! I've really enjoyed following your journey. Still so funny to me that I was due May 11th and our son decided to come April 26th! I kept asking my hubby "has Delilah had her baby yet" while I was in the hospital 😅😅😅
Ordered function of beauty shampoo and conditioner from your link because my hair has just been so blah recently and I needed a change! Thank you for the recommendation and the discount!
I've been watching your channel for a few months now and I'm finally pregnant! I had such a sweet tooth before pregnancy and now I just crave mashed potatoes and chicken fingers. I have so much candy from Christmas that's just sitting in my house I don't have a taste for.
Pregnancy is such a wild ride. I’ve known women who loved pregnancy, and had never felt more beautiful and others who had an absolute nightmarish time and all of these unique experiences are beautiful in their own way. Even when pregnancy is smooth and easy, it’s still hard- full of hormones, aches, pains and the weirdest symptoms. I’m 34 weeks with my second baby and haven’t been lucky enough to fall into the former category, did ya know you can get varicose veins in your lady parts?! Yeh, me either but here I am with an ice pack between my legs. I’ve suffered from horrendous HG the entire pregnancy so far, 3 preterm labour scares, recurrent kidney infections (9 of them), chest infections + pneumonia coupled with violent vomiting which resulted in 2 broken ribs, anaemia, SPD and now I’ve been diagnosed with Cholestasis which is making me feel like I might lose my mind. It’s been rough yet I know I’ll do it all over again because that little baby is just so worth it, these 9 months will be so insignificant in comparison to the lifetime of joy I get to experience with my children.
I absolutely LOVED this video! Thank you, super helpful! Being a girl who hopes to be a momma one day in the future, these are things I wonder! Thank you!!
Oh goodness before I even was telling anyone I was pregnant, I was facetiming my grandmother in Iran and she says "wow marriage is really suiting you well!" (I had gotten married 2/3 months before) and I asked her what she meant. She says "you've gotten fat!" 😂 That was a nice thing to hear a few weeks into pregnancy lol. My grandmother has always been trying to fatten me up with seconds thirds fourths so it was meant nicely, but man did that bum me out for a hot minute 😨🍩 I laugh about it now 😂😂
I just didn't realize how much pregnancy would impact my body. I'm not as young as you, but I'm on the younger end of the spectrum for having kids this day and age, and I guess I'm not used to my body being so... difficult lol. My joints are killing me to the point of preventing me from doing regular things, and I'm not even halfway through my second trimester. I thought it was having a big belly in the third trimester that would cause mobility and pain issues, but it starts way earlier. I wasn't prepared for that, but it's worth it. It just makes me feel like a bit of a wimp because looking at me I don't think anyone would understand that I hurt my wrist putting paper into the shredder at work lol, and bending over more than three times per day makes my hips scream at me at night.
I should add that this probably wouldn't happen to everyone because I had joint issues before pregnancy as well. I have hyper-mobile joints, and when you're pregnant the progesterone releases a chemical called relaxin into your system which makes your ligaments more stretchy in preparation for birth and the growth of your uterus, but my ligaments were already overly stretchy, so that's why being pregnant makes my wrist hurt lol.
I loved this video, thank you for sharing so much💕 I gave birth two months ago, pregnancy was very hard I didn’t enjoy it. I gained weight, I was depressed most of it. I didn’t feel like myself. I did have an inspiration rush when I was in the 5th months so I got to realize a big project and that’s it. But I didn’t enjoy it. When I get pregnant again I will do so many things differently 💙
Everyone told me I was having a girl. Everyone. all the old wives tales said I was having a girl. I had dreams that the baby was a girl I was convinced the baby was a girl. But he’s a boy and he’s here now and he’s amazing. I’m glad that you’re being honest about pregnancy I feel like people arent upfront about things. There was so much that happened that took me completely by surprise. I had a pretty lousy pregnancy if I’m being honest. 100% worth it for sure but not fun. My baby was a big breach and his head would knock against my ribs. I had a terrible second trimester and even worse third. The first eight weeks I never threw up or anything I was just tired insanely tired. I ended up having a C-section because of preeclampsia and gestational diabetes at 8 months. I knew preeclampsia was a thing because my sister had it. But I have no idea gestational diabetes even existed. Also the cravings were weird, but I didn’t have much problem with hormones. But my body hates pregnancy and I was sore and in so much pain pretty much the whole time. But I’m not saying all this to scare anyone. I would recommend pregnancy because the end result is so worth it. Not gonna lie there’s some really uncomfortable gross things about pregnancy. I don’t understand why our bodies haven’t found a better way to do this yet lol. I was a high-risk pregnancy the entire time due to my age at first and then other problems later. So I had a lot of ultrasounds non-stress test etc. I also got one of the 3-D ultrasounds. It was pretty cool but my baby looks really scary, and I was convinced he was ugly but I still loved him. But when he came out he was so beautiful I mean he did look like the ultrasound a little bit but in real life he just looked so much better. So anyone who gets one of these 3-D ultrasounds your babies going to look better than that ha ha! Also I wish I’d been able to work out more but I was just too tired and I hurt so bad, I had sciatica pretty badly the entire time and I was hospitalized several times due to the pain. My baby was 9 pounds in eight months so he was a bigger baby and I am a smaller person. I think if you’re not 5’1” like me Have a normal size baby you’ll be OK. Also all my friends were so much more supportive than I thought they would be and they’re not really kid people. All I could eat was Taco Bell vegan or vegetarian Taco Bell. I couldn’t smell the freezer for some reason opening the freezer made me feel really sick. I did find out the sex of my baby when I did the DNA test. I don’t know if I would recommend it or not. My hair got crazy thick and I’ve had stick straight hair my entire life but it turned really curly when I was pregnant. Now that I’m not pregnant it’s straight again? Yeah your nails grow pretty well and that’s nice but I didn’t really paint them the whole time I was pregnant. People are really nice to you around the end of your pregnancy, and a lot of people smile at you. You’re completely right though that most young people have no idea what pregnancy and tails they should really have better sex education in schools or parents should do a better job telling us what it’s actually like. I also hated pizza at the time it made me so sick and vegetarian hamburgers made me sick too. I only gained 15 pounds. I was scared I would had postpartum depression but I ended up not having it. This is embarrassing but the constant peeing was really hard for me, Another plus with maternity clothes are so loose and comfortable it was amazing to wear them I still wear some of the same things now that will still fit. I highly recommend if you can doing light exercise during pregnancy. I wish I pushed myself a little bit harder. Wow this is turning into a novel I guess I just have a lot to say about pregnancy. I’m so happy videos like this exist. I wish I had watched these during the beginning of my pregnancy
Hi hun! Found you as our channel has literally same type on content, I think all of the mums around here we should share at much as possible for the new moms that have millions of questions as we all did when we become pregnant for the first time. xx
Hi, just wanted to say you look so beautiful in this video! Your hair looks great and I love the color of your sweater! And the video is great :) love from Venezia
I'm 17 weeks and struggled with morning sickness 24/7 for the first 10 weeks and then about a week later I developed gastritis, which my doctor has said is related to the pregnancy. I've lost about 8kg, I can barely eat, and I'm so out of energy that I can barely leave the house and preferably just stay in bed. So far this sucks
Pregnant with my first and I absolutely have hated every moment of it thus far. I am four months and I am barely recovering from feeling sick. I throw up once a week instead of everyday. I still dont feel myself but I really have hated being pregnant. I feel like its taken away my life from me. I originally wanted three kids but if its like this again the second time I will only have two
I was high risk because I got pregnant with an IUD (not normal, it may have moved too low or too high) so got lots of ultrasounds (close to 10) and LOVED it! So sad that I may have less than that :( I love hearing the heartbeat 😥 Also, DQ fries are THE BEST!
Maybe you and Zack or just Zack could do a video about dads! Like how he felt and how his life changed. I feel like there's plenty of content on mom's, but not too much dads? 🤷 Just a thought lol
That's so true, what a great idea!
Yesssss.
I agree! So I can send it to my fiancé
I want that 💜
Am I pregnant? No. Am I trying to get pregnant right now? No. Am I still watching this? HECK YES I AM!!!! Love your videos, Delilah!!!!
Edit: Wow, thank you everyone for all the likes!!! I’m a very small RUclipsr and I’d love your support!!
haha same lol
I feel that
Me too! Lol 😆
Same 😂😂😂
Same
Things people don't tell you somebody pregnancy, " THAT NOT EVERYBODY PREGNANCY IS THE SAME! DON'T LET PEOPLE SCARE YOU WITH THEIR PREGNANCY STORIES, WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN JOURNEY". ❤️
Yes!!
I had the opposite experience. Literally everyone told me that every pregnancy is different. Every little piece of advice I tried to get, that's the answer I was given lol.
@@jeanne_guitton lucky fish lol, everybody told me their horror stories I hated it SO MUCH! 🙄
@@Diary_of_Zubeidah oooh, yes, while I would have loved some advice, I am quite glad I was spared the horror stories!
I wish people said this to me. Everyone told me it was going to be horrible but this pregnancy has been so good to me
Loved this! I’m pregnant with my first and it has been a wild ride. Aches, pains, nausea, dizziness, hormonal roller coaster. It’s crazy to see how different each pregnancy really is. I felt ashamed for being so miserable while pregnant because everyone says it’s a beautiful thing be grateful and while I am grateful I am also in pain 24/7. It’s nice to hear I’m not alone!
Mackenzie Burt I feel you!! I’m 10 weeks pregnant and SO miserable. I’m nauseous a lot of the time, I throw up at lot too, plus the exhaustion and the acid reflux, I don’t have good days. I’m happy too, it’s a dream come true, but it’s hard...
Same! I’m 14 weeks and felt terrible for the first 12 weeks, even questioned where is this “glow” everyone constantly speaks about. I’m so so grateful to be pregnant but it’s not all butterflies and roses. Our bodies are going through the most
Pray for your healthy baby and you. I was upset whenever someone asked me if i am excited to be gregnant....I was also not warned by anyone, how much pain, severe mood swings, weight gain, severe leg sparms,severe Oedema, food aversion, 24/7 morning sickness, severe reflux etc... a pregnant mum has to gone through... I can not list all of them....( if you do not have any pf these symptoms... You are so lucky....😂) in fact i love my baby who is growing well inside of me. I just accept the fact that this sickness will only last for 9months... Not my whole life😅But everyone is different. I hope you are ok. God bless you.
Im 20weeks with my first and girl this comment really hit home! I feel the same way. Everyone around me kept saying how lucky I am and literally in the beginning I had hyperemesis and then now in my second trimester I have sciatica and pelvic pain constantly like it makes it hard to enjoy the pregnancy! So its nice to hear im not the only one❤️
I resonate so much with all of this. My biggest fear has always been infertility. My first two pregnancies ended in miscarriage, my third and current pregnancy has been easy physically, but so difficult emotionally. Today is 22 weeks for this little rainbow babe and I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that he’s actually gonna come out and be real!
I keep my fingers crossed! Good luck ☺️
I'm sorry you had 2 miscarriages. It's a blessing you are pregnant now. Maybe consider having your thyroid hormones checked. It's a major reason why some people miscarry. I had a miscarriage as well and it turned out I had low free T3.
@@hyrunnisa997 I thought that thyroid hormones are cheked all over the world in the very first blood test during pregnancy 😯
@@emiliakohut7595 that would be great. But unfortunately not true for where I live.
Im pregnant with my first and something i didnt expect was how incredibly different your pregnancy can be from the way you imagined it being. Before i was pregnant, i was so excited to be pregnant one day! I wanted it so bad! But as soon as i found out i was pregnant, prenatal depression took over. These past 9 months have been the hardest months of my life! But even so, i am so thankful that i am able to carry this child💕 loved the video Delilah!
It's not always what we think or hope it will be ❤ I desperately wanted to be pregnant but I had a really hard time struggling through our first few months of parenthood (especially because my son was really colicky, had nursing issues, and I had postpartum depression and my husband also really struggled with the transition).. I didnt really feel like I hit my stride until 4 months or so, and then it got a lot better at 8 months and even better at a year. It's been a hard journey, becoming a mother!
Teresa Thiessen Same here. I have been having so many symptoms especially extreme nausea. It really messes with my emotions and I get depressed because I am not myself. I started going to a therapist and it really helps to talk to someone❤️ Good luck mama stay strong💕
I'm so thankful that I didn't feel any different throughout the whole first two trimesters. Never felt nauseous, felt any pain and aches, could still do quite a lot of activities without feeling too tired. I'm 27 weeks pregnant now, baby is properly showing and I'm getting quite a lot of pregnancy spots but what the hell I'm so excited and happy about this tiny adorable being inside me!
All the best to all pregnant women out there 😊
I craved CARDBOARD! Yes, cardboard. What the actual hell 😂 like I would smell it, dream about it, it was insane
😂
You had pica.
I’m a bit late to the conv, but the pica was maybe a symptom of iron deficiency. Sawbones podcast “pica and eating dirt” is a really interesting explanation by an MD that is informative and entertaining.
I’m 25 weeks along in my first pregnancy and it has been a rather difficult experience for me up to this point. In the first trimester I was diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum, so I was sick all day and nearly every day for almost four months and even hospitalized once. Thankfully, by the grace and mercy of God, that’s gotten much better and nearly gone away. But now in my second trimester I’m experiencing some pretty gnarly exhaustion. Every day I’m struggling to have energy to do even the smallest of things. Taking all this into account, I’d say that the most important thing I’ve learned about pregnancy is that: while you’re pregnant, you should go easy on yourself, practice self-care constantly and have a good support system around you.
Thanks for the video, Delilah. God bless. 💐
I'm also 25 weeks with my first child and you dont know what this video means to me.... I am not close to my mother, I was only ever close to my grandmother and she passed almost a year ago now. To be able to sit down and feel like even if for a few mins I'm understood means the world to me. I've been struggling with feeling like I just need a female to talk to and your video brought me to tears. Thank you for who you are and all the hard work you put in to make videos ❤
First weird symptom I noticed was gaging while brushing my teeth....never knew that happened 😂 also postpartum sweating during sleep is for real 😂 😣
@Prince Chamberlain Yeah same, if that was a common symptom I would be continually pregnant 😂😂
Oh my gosh yes! Started right away 😖
Night sweat where so bad. And so many youtubers had babys last year around same time as me but no one said anything about it. So thought I was sick
I had to get a toddler toothbrush and toddler toothpaste during my first trimester because of this. The only times I actually ever vomited from the nausea was when I was trying to brush my teeth.
Omg I had the worst gag reflex to the point where I would get nauseous (sometimes would get sick) then I would have to lie down and wait until I felt better just to try to start over and brush my teeth again 🤣
I loved that you mentioned the short doc visits, and the unhelpful ness of that when you’re feeling so uncertain in the beginning! I’ve definitely been experiencing this and I’m in my first pregnancy.
I watched this video with my partner bc if, as females, we are not told all these sides of pregnancy, men are even LESS aware of this reality ! And guess what : he loved it and found it very genuine and useful ! Big thumbs up for that 👍🏼❤️

29 weeks pregnant with my first! During this crazy time your videos are giving me so much peace!
As a mama to be currently in the very beginning of my second trimester, I didn’t realize how sick you really do get... like I always kind of assumed that it was kind of dramatic. Literally lost more than 10% of my body weight, so thankful to finally be feeling better
Oooh yay I’m excited for this “girls talk” series!!❤️❤️
Delilah, the quality in this is so freaking good! I have loved watching how your artistry and quality has just continued to get better and better each video! Also even though I've already had a baby and been pregnant I LOVED this video! I wanna send it to every pregnant mama I know!!!
I’m pregnant with my first right now, so happy to find another sister in Christ sharing her perspective on the journey. Thank you! And ur style/aesthetic is simply gorgeous ♥️
I'm 37 weeks today and getting induced at 38 weeks, and I cannot stop watching all of your videos. I think I've watched every single video of yours, and I only discovered your channel about a week ago.. love your content!
I had a miscarriage between my two babies, and I think I suffered a little from ptsd...I don’t wanna use that word lightly, cause I know people who have traumatizing experiences and deal with ptsd, but throughout my pregnancy(the pregnancy after my miscarriage) I ended up with postnatal depression and major anxiety, and fear of losing my baby, i think it made it harder for me to bond with my unborn baby, cause I almost feel like I resented her, cause I was pregnant with her, and not with the baby I lost...its a hard pill to swallow and hard to come out and say it/admit it, cause it makes you feel like the worst mom, or like I don’t love my baby, I kept telling myself, once baby is here I’ll be better..well I did suffer from postpartum depression, and now that my baby is 10 months old, I’m still dealing with it, but I’m a lot better than I was and I’ve learned to cope. I have bonded with her, I love her to death, nothing is hindering me from loving her to the fullest, I’ve learned, just cause I grieved the loss of my baby I lost, it doesn’t make me a bad mom, and my hormones were and still are, way off. I still fight tears thinking about my baby I lost, I’m still struggling to move past it, but every time I look at my rainbow, I think of how blessed I am that God allowed me to have her, and so soon after losing my other baby.
Michaela Jones So sorry. I had 2 miscarriages and they were the most traumatizing experiences of my life. I suffered from anxiety, depression, and ptsd. Even getting my period each month was hard seeing blood because it reminded me of my miscarriage. I ended up going to a therapist and I realized that my angel babies were in a better place. My first baby would have had a horrible father and my second baby wouldn’t have had the best and I was in a hard place figuring out my life. I am now pregnant with my rainbow and currently 14 weeks pregnant. It’s hard to talk to my baby because I am scared I will get attached and lose my baby. But I realized that I rather my baby know how much his mom loves him or her rather than never hearing my voice or a I love you from me💝💙 God has blessed you with a sweet angel in heaven🙏🏻 It’s okay to grieve maybe get some professional help. Enjoy your baby on earth she is a blessing from god❤️🙏🏻
@@gabydoss2027 Thank you both for sharing your experiences, I am going through the same feelings and I am afraid of how I am going to feel towards my baby when I get pregnant. Hope you stay strong.
This is so timely! 16 weeks with our first and trying to take in all the info possible in this seemingly short time. Thank you!
9 1/2 weeks here. Love to the mama's out there.
Kay's Closet Aw I’m 16 weeks with our first too!!!
Thank you for this video. I lost my little boy in 12th week of pregnancy. Now I'm 26 weeks with my second baby boy but I'm still scared that something can go wrong. You reminded me to appreciate every minute when my little one is in my belly and pray more :).
Pregnancy is so different than I imagined! Pre-pregnancy I was very fit, ran daily, lifted weights, I was convinced I was gonna be fit & active through my whole pregnancy. I just got into the second trimester and haven’t exercised ONCE. I’m exhausted, so incredibly sick, prenatal depression, abdominal pain, back pain, eating is torture, no sex drive, etc. Always had respect for mommas but WOW has it magnified. So excited to meet my little one though 🥰
Thank you!!! Thank you for being so honest and down to earth about answering your questions. I’m 19 and engaged and it feels like I’m talking to a big sister getting advice in a safe space. All I see on social media is perfect families and happy kids, easy breastfeeding easy marriage easy breezy everything. It’s so refreshing to have someone willing to answer the questions we are all asking.
i’m pregnant and agree with it being hard to comprehend. i’m so excited, but often have moments where i think “wow, i’m really going to be someone’s mom”
NOBODY PURCHASE FUNCTION OF BEAUTY!!! Tons of people have talked about their shampoos working at first and then eventually putting their hair in a WORSE condition than it was before. My close friend tried it and it gave her an extremely dry scalp even though her shampoo was “designed” to avoid that!!! Just giving you guys a heads up, please watch out for these products!😭💗
The constant anxiety of being pregnant after a miscarriage. With the Army most of my ultrasounds are 10 weeks apart and the in betweens has me worried for him..
Nobody told me that I would loose my sex drive. And it wasn’t even just sex, it was kissing or even hugging sometimes. It just made me feel so extremely uncomfortable. I tried to talk to other women about this and even my obgyn, but I never felt like they truly UNDERSTOOD what I was going through
I lost my sex drive at around 3 months and I am now 1 month postpartum and I still don’t have it back 😞
It put unnecessary strain in my relationship
I am 4 months pregnant and I have also lost my sex drive as well. I’m hoping it will come back eventually. I hope your doing well momma!
@@laurenemond7033 I am doing well! It came back slowly but surely. It took my body about 9 months postpartum to get back to pre pregnancy sex drive so don’t worry about your sed drive it will come back! Everyone is different so you might get it even sooner
You are the first person that I have ever heard describe feeling the same way about becoming a mother as I do. I have felt a deep and profound aching pain in my heart out of yearning to become a mother ever since I was 15 years old, and sometimes that pain would be so bad that I would have actual dysphoria when I would look in the mirror and not see a pregnant belly. I’m 22 now and I’m still not a mother or even married so that yearning has dulled a tiny bit but is still mostly the same. I used to take to google to see if there were other women who felt the same but I couldn’t really find anything. It’s good to know that there is at least one other person who had something similar!
Thank you so much for this! I’m 32 weeks pregnant with my second baby, and I’m definitely having a harder time enjoying this pregnancy, and not feeling like myself. It’s so nice to hear someone share a similar story, and know that I’m not alone! ❤️
I used to comment all the time and now I watch the videos when I can but still support you! lol You are like the only mom on YT I watch because how honest you are and also I’m taking some tips when I get pregnant 🤰🏻
Pregnancy taught me that I need to take care of my body/health, the third pregnancy REALLY highlighted this.
I'm 29 week pregnant from Vancouver! I've been enjoying a lot your pregnant story when you had Eloise and then Theo. I find being pregnant is miracle and incredible that everyone's experience is just different as well as children, and that is OK. Now I'm trying to focus on my body not being intimitated by what someone else says. Can't wait to watch your postpartum video!
The first trimester for me was a breeze I didn’t have any morning sickness with my son except being dizzy and sleeping a ton, I knew that something was wrong because I was being super mean to my fiancé. I didn’t want cuddles, I didn’t want him to hug me or to show any affection. How I knew the day before I found out? I had a dream I was pregnant and then the next day BOOM positive, it’s like God was telling me to be prepared for this wild journey ♥️
I have 3 more weeks left on this pregnancy 💕🍼
My baby is 3 months and it's still surreal for me. I still cant believe that I carried a living being for 37 weeks and I've managed to keep him alive for 3 months. BUT he is the light if my life and my heart finally feels complete ❤❤❤
I love your vídeos, I'm pregnant and my emotions are Crazy, but u say something important. "I feel happy cause I will have another baby,, but no the same happy self" lots of love I'm from Mexico
I am currently 13 weeks pregnant. It’s taken us 3 years and I was completely floored when the test showed two lines 😳💖 I am beyond excited and totally doesn’t feel real! Even when we had the ultrasound (to confirm everything was okay at 9 weeks) and I bawled my face off ☺️ Thank you for talking about the nitty gritty, I totally appreciate it 💓
New sub! :) Hoping to fall pregnant this year or next year and I really enjoyed this! x
The doctors thing was so spot on. I’m a FTM at about 8-10 weeks (idk, haven’t had an ultrasound yet!) and I’m just so surprised... like I’ve only seen my doctor once just an appointment where they confirmed I was pregnant and booked an ultrasound, and then I also have to screen for another thing and the screening office was so short and rude to me because I didn’t know what the words they were using were or meant. Ugh!
We are going to start trying for our first baby this summer and watching your videos is just so inspiring! Your family is honestly the sweetest 💕
Natasha Summerfield Aw good luck on such a wonderful & fun journey into parenthood! ❤️
Video starts at 4:59
I'm in Nova Scotia, Canada and here, you're first ultrasound is at 20 weeks, where you can find out the gender! We couldn't wait that long to check on our little one, so we went to a private clinic at 11 weeks to see it and hear the heart beat, which was amazing! That's when it hit me how real it was and how amazing it was I had a little life growing inside me!
We also cannot wait until 20 weeks to figure out the gender, so we are going back to the private clinic next week (at 16 weeks) to figure out the gender. Apparently since the baby has less chub on them at 16 weeks, it is easier to tell the gender. Pretty interesting, plus it is the earliest time they will confidently tell you.
Loving pregnancy so far, definitely had a bit of a rough first trimester but I still count myself lucky and now that I'm in the second trimester, it has been awesome so far!
Really enjoyed this video and looking forward to the rest of the series!
Wow the quality of your video is superb, looks like a movie/TV documentary shows. 😯
I just had my first a month ago and YES! I was super excited to lay on my stomach once my little one came. I was a competitive swimmer for most of my life and had a lot of shoulder injuries so laying on my side and on my shoulders and hips gave me so much pain, no matter how many pregnancy pillows I had. Most night I just opted for sleeping sitting up because it was the only way I could actually sleep! Now that he is here, even with the short amount of sleep that I get, I still get better quality sleep versus when I was pregnant and could sleep for longer periods of time solely due to the reason of sleeping on my belly.
Haha I love that you were looking forward to your sleeping positions. For some reason with my pregnancy, sleeping on my left side and on my back were the only 2 positions that I would naturally go to, no matter what I tried. Now that I had my little one about a week ago, I can’t wait to feel healed up enough to finally go back to sleeping on my stomach!
Good video idea! Every person and their pregnancies are different, but it's so good to tell your experience and to let new moms what to expect and feel more comfortable asking questions. ✨
When you said you didn't feel yourself I get that. Its my first pregnancy. My emotions are weird and thankful my dr found a good therapist for me. It's so weird how much everything has changed during pregnancy so far and I'm only 11 weeks.
I know this is an old video but I wanted to watch this since I am pregnant again. I carried mine low too. I never bled while pregnant so that sounds really scary, going through the experience you had. I have heard of people going through that, and since you said you had a miscarriage, I can imagine that being extremely scary.
I definitely felt and knew I was pregnant with all of mine before my period was to come. I just felt. . different. I was only trying for the first but that one I felt the most because I started falling asleep at 8 PM when I was 22 years old and used to staying up pretty late. I got married at 20 btw. Love those young couples marrying and starting families.
I live in Canada and I had ultrasounds monthly. You can have them, but you either pay out of pocket or your health insurance (if you have that through work) covers them. So I was very fortunate in getting to see my first monthly. With this pregnancy my OB has a handheld ultrasound machine and he does a quick check every appointment for free and that has been really nice as well.
Yyeessss, NOTHING can prepare you for pregnancy or postpartum. I wish someone would have told me that. But again that’s part of the beauty. Love your videos, found your channel when I first found out I was pregnant and am so happy I did!
Hi there! I just stumbled across this video, Thank you so much for making it. I am 21 weeks today with my first and I have been so excited to have a baby one day. It’s been so weird to grasp the concept that there is a baby in there. I have been feeling like a terrible person for not being able to fully get it. So far I really haven’t been enjoying pregnancy. I’ve had so much nausea/sickness I’ve lost 20 lbs so far. I’m still puking and man I wish there was a better understanding for society that it’s not the same for each woman/pregnancy.
However, I am so excited to have my baby girl!
I’m currently 28 weeks with my first and one thing I’ve hated is how people ask me how I’m doing. I know most of just making small talk and being polite, but I find that I really don’t want to talk to anyone about it unless I know they’re being genuine. I also hate the unsolicited advice and when people point out my weight gain like it’s a joke.
It’s been a journey grasping the reality of having a baby inside of me because I honestly still forget!
Thank you for your words about the differencesnb between the first and the second pregnancy. I'm experiencing something similar. I'm pregnant with my second and have an 18month old. I've been really sick (nausea, vomiting, low energy) and it hasn't really stopped at 12weeks like it did the first time. I'm also struggling emotionally, having times where I almost feel depressed. Struggling to be alone with toddler, struggling with work - even though either work og toddler has changed for the worse. But I certainly have. Just went down to part time at work and hope it will provide me with what I need to get through this pregnancy with more joy and a more positive attitude. So thank you for that. Struggling very much with the guilt and shame over my feelings as well.
I’m 12 weeks pregnant and have already had about 15 doctors appointments and 2 er visits. it has been SO hard on my body. It also has to do with the fact that I have an extensive cardiac history and had open heart surgery only 2 months before getting pregnant. But I definitely wasn’t expecting it to be this bad
Thank you for making this video! I’m so thankful to know a little bit more of what to expect! I’m 16 weeks with our little boy and I’m so excited to be a first time mama and document the process on my channel!!!
Made my own custom formula! Excited to see it work its wonders ! Thank you for the 20% off!
Super informational, not pregnant yet, but it's nice to know what to expect when my husband and I start trying. :)
I love you girl but you gotta do more research on the ingredients in function of beauty. I tried it and researched it and the ingredients were TERRIBLE! Known carcinogens and the like. The company is very sly about it, claiming things like “paraben free” but then they replace that ingredient with things that are just as bad if not worse under names the public isn’t as familiar with. 😞
So typical of RUclipsrs and influencers to not do any research about the product they help selling 😔
Oh, yikes. Where did you find this info?
Nuna A well the company is very vague about their ingredients and don’t give you a list until you actually make a purchase. (Because it’s “customized” for each person) Once I got my bottles and saw the full ingredient list I was shocked. I researched the ingredients one by one on multiple different sites and study articles, since a lot of them I had never seen before. They are quite sly. I reached out to the company telling them that I was disappointed and never got a reply. 😕
Ariel That sucks! 😔
The second any of these You Tubers start talking about their sponsored products I skip ahead 3 minutes lol
What you said about not feeling like yourself related to me on a personal level. I'm pregnant with my first and from the moment I conceived I have not felt good or like myself at all. Even though I'm in the 2nd trimester and having some better days I never have a day where I feel completely well. I'm excited for these videos and to hear your take on things.
Love your videos! ❤️ side note you are looking extra beautiful in this video! I’d ask where your outfit is from but my best guess is ...Thrifted?
5:04 the video actually starts.
I'm in that stage now - wanting to be a mom so bad that it hurts. I'm almost 28, and I've felt like this for 6 months straight.
video starts at 5:00
It’s like your living room background is a green screen lol camera quality on point 👌🏻
I'm 20 weeks and let me tell you, when you were talking about not being able to fathom there's a human inside of you, man did I agree. I think I'm only just now starting to believe it for real! My first trimester was SUPER rough, emotionally and physically, to the point that my husband and I were questioning if we were ready! But after our anatomy scan, we got a taste of this little ones personality (he/she wouldn't sit still and we only got one picture - and he/she's flipping us off in the picture!! 😂) We're realizing what's going on and we're giddy with happiness!
We really had to lean on the Lord and He has truly guided us through the hard times towards the light. Can't wait to meet munchkin in May!
Love your videos, Delilah, can't wait for the rest of the series ❤️❤️❤️
I am pregnant with my first baby. And I had a bad start with bad hyperemesis gravidarum until I was 20 weeks far. I also got bleedings and had to spend some time in the hospital. My body used the 2nd trimester to recover from that but then soon the water build up and other issues appeared, so I was quite unable to do a lot of stuff and had pains and was leck of air. Plus the baby is laying upside down the belly doesn't sink and she squeezes her head into my stomach and rips... I am now 38+1 but I do not wanna miss this experience. But I am glad when she is finally here.
Not planning on getting pregnant for a few more years, but it's nice to have some preparation for the details through videos like this one. Thank you for sharing your experiences, Delilah!
Thats a nice one! Thank you! I always wondered how pregnancy might REALLY feel...
Now I'm even more excited to get pregnant one day. Love your channel Delilah!
I have no plans on having children any time soon, I’m quite young too (18, turning 19 in a few months) BUT having children has never been more on my mind than now.
So thank you for making these videos, in case I do have children. I know it’ll make a difference for me and my husband whoever he will be:’)
Please do a "TMI" themed video, NO ONE talks about it but Im really wanna know what to expect "down there" discharge-wise post-partum
I could see the heartbeat at 8 weeks, I had no idea they could see it so quickly as the baby is about a cm long! I heard it at 10 weeks 😍
I had so many ultrasounds with my little girl because I had a high risk pregnancy. I have a short cervix so I got to see her weekly from about 20 weeks to about 2-3 weeks to the end.
OK but underboob chafing is so real and i had never even heard of this before and lemme tell ya i did a TON of reading beforehand and never saw this coming :D . I thought there was something wrong with me when at about 8 months i got this awful pain under my breasts and it felt like my skin was very badly burnt but there was no visible sign of anything. It's my only "bad" symptom during my entire pregnancy and everybody just talking about morning sickness and here I am, barely sleeping at night because my underboobs hurt :D So i googled it and it turned out a lot of women have it and its because your belly is so big that the skin between belly and boobs gets kinda pinched and sweaty which combination causes this horror and the solution is washing, drying, moisturising and applying something cold but dry (I use my water bottle) and it saved me but still I cant wait for it to be over any day now. Hope I helped :D
My pregnancies with my boys were SO different from the ones with my girls! We have never found out our Baby's gender, but I have a pretty good idea, just from comparing things. Morning sickness, my mood, and whether or not I'm "glowing" are huge indicators for me!
I've really enjoyed following your journey. Still so funny to me that I was due May 11th and our son decided to come April 26th! I kept asking my hubby "has Delilah had her baby yet" while I was in the hospital 😅😅😅
I am 14 and i am watching this🤣I love ur vids❤️.
Ordered function of beauty shampoo and conditioner from your link because my hair has just been so blah recently and I needed a change! Thank you for the recommendation and the discount!
Oh cool! I always love your product recommendations, definitely going to check out this Function of Beauty 🧐
I've been watching your channel for a few months now and I'm finally pregnant! I had such a sweet tooth before pregnancy and now I just crave mashed potatoes and chicken fingers. I have so much candy from Christmas that's just sitting in my house I don't have a taste for.
I GASPED when I saw you were working with function of beauty, yES GIRL GET THOSE SPONSORS!!!! That’s AWESOME!!
Pregnancy is such a wild ride. I’ve known women who loved pregnancy, and had never felt more beautiful and others who had an absolute nightmarish time and all of these unique experiences are beautiful in their own way. Even when pregnancy is smooth and easy, it’s still hard- full of hormones, aches, pains and the weirdest symptoms. I’m 34 weeks with my second baby and haven’t been lucky enough to fall into the former category, did ya know you can get varicose veins in your lady parts?! Yeh, me either but here I am with an ice pack between my legs. I’ve suffered from horrendous HG the entire pregnancy so far, 3 preterm labour scares, recurrent kidney infections (9 of them), chest infections + pneumonia coupled with violent vomiting which resulted in 2 broken ribs, anaemia, SPD and now I’ve been diagnosed with Cholestasis which is making me feel like I might lose my mind. It’s been rough yet I know I’ll do it all over again because that little baby is just so worth it, these 9 months will be so insignificant in comparison to the lifetime of joy I get to experience with my children.
Just bought some function of you shampoo and conditioner 😂 I never thought I would but you sold me on it! Always here to support yaaaaa
I absolutely LOVED this video! Thank you, super helpful! Being a girl who hopes to be a momma one day in the future, these are things I wonder! Thank you!!
100% I would rather go through labour again than postpartum. I'm 2 months postpartum and still not at 100% physically
Oh goodness before I even was telling anyone I was pregnant, I was facetiming my grandmother in Iran and she says "wow marriage is really suiting you well!" (I had gotten married 2/3 months before) and I asked her what she meant. She says "you've gotten fat!" 😂 That was a nice thing to hear a few weeks into pregnancy lol. My grandmother has always been trying to fatten me up with seconds thirds fourths so it was meant nicely, but man did that bum me out for a hot minute 😨🍩 I laugh about it now 😂😂
I just didn't realize how much pregnancy would impact my body. I'm not as young as you, but I'm on the younger end of the spectrum for having kids this day and age, and I guess I'm not used to my body being so... difficult lol. My joints are killing me to the point of preventing me from doing regular things, and I'm not even halfway through my second trimester. I thought it was having a big belly in the third trimester that would cause mobility and pain issues, but it starts way earlier. I wasn't prepared for that, but it's worth it. It just makes me feel like a bit of a wimp because looking at me I don't think anyone would understand that I hurt my wrist putting paper into the shredder at work lol, and bending over more than three times per day makes my hips scream at me at night.
I should add that this probably wouldn't happen to everyone because I had joint issues before pregnancy as well. I have hyper-mobile joints, and when you're pregnant the progesterone releases a chemical called relaxin into your system which makes your ligaments more stretchy in preparation for birth and the growth of your uterus, but my ligaments were already overly stretchy, so that's why being pregnant makes my wrist hurt lol.
Love the new haircut♡♡ you look so cute🌻
I loved this video, thank you for sharing so much💕 I gave birth two months ago, pregnancy was very hard I didn’t enjoy it. I gained weight, I was depressed most of it. I didn’t feel like myself. I did have an inspiration rush when I was in the 5th months so I got to realize a big project and that’s it. But I didn’t enjoy it. When I get pregnant again I will do so many things differently 💙
Everyone told me I was having a girl. Everyone. all the old wives tales said I was having a girl. I had dreams that the baby was a girl I was convinced the baby was a girl. But he’s a boy and he’s here now and he’s amazing. I’m glad that you’re being honest about pregnancy I feel like people arent upfront about things. There was so much that happened that took me completely by surprise. I had a pretty lousy pregnancy if I’m being honest. 100% worth it for sure but not fun. My baby was a big breach and his head would knock against my ribs. I had a terrible second trimester and even worse third. The first eight weeks I never threw up or anything I was just tired insanely tired. I ended up having a C-section because of preeclampsia and gestational diabetes at 8 months. I knew preeclampsia was a thing because my sister had it. But I have no idea gestational diabetes even existed. Also the cravings were weird, but I didn’t have much problem with hormones. But my body hates pregnancy and I was sore and in so much pain pretty much the whole time. But I’m not saying all this to scare anyone. I would recommend pregnancy because the end result is so worth it. Not gonna lie there’s some really uncomfortable gross things about pregnancy. I don’t understand why our bodies haven’t found a better way to do this yet lol. I was a high-risk pregnancy the entire time due to my age at first and then other problems later. So I had a lot of ultrasounds non-stress test etc. I also got one of the 3-D ultrasounds. It was pretty cool but my baby looks really scary, and I was convinced he was ugly but I still loved him. But when he came out he was so beautiful I mean he did look like the ultrasound a little bit but in real life he just looked so much better. So anyone who gets one of these 3-D ultrasounds your babies going to look better than that ha ha! Also I wish I’d been able to work out more but I was just too tired and I hurt so bad, I had sciatica pretty badly the entire time and I was hospitalized several times due to the pain. My baby was 9 pounds in eight months so he was a bigger baby and I am a smaller person. I think if you’re not 5’1” like me Have a normal size baby you’ll be OK. Also all my friends were so much more supportive than I thought they would be and they’re not really kid people. All I could eat was Taco Bell vegan or vegetarian Taco Bell. I couldn’t smell the freezer for some reason opening the freezer made me feel really sick. I did find out the sex of my baby when I did the DNA test. I don’t know if I would recommend it or not. My hair got crazy thick and I’ve had stick straight hair my entire life but it turned really curly when I was pregnant. Now that I’m not pregnant it’s straight again? Yeah your nails grow pretty well and that’s nice but I didn’t really paint them the whole time I was pregnant. People are really nice to you around the end of your pregnancy, and a lot of people smile at you. You’re completely right though that most young people have no idea what pregnancy and tails they should really have better sex education in schools or parents should do a better job telling us what it’s actually like. I also hated pizza at the time it made me so sick and vegetarian hamburgers made me sick too. I only gained 15 pounds. I was scared I would had postpartum depression but I ended up not having it. This is embarrassing but the constant peeing was really hard for me, Another plus with maternity clothes are so loose and comfortable it was amazing to wear them I still wear some of the same things now that will still fit. I highly recommend if you can doing light exercise during pregnancy. I wish I pushed myself a little bit harder. Wow this is turning into a novel I guess I just have a lot to say about pregnancy. I’m so happy videos like this exist. I wish I had watched these during the beginning of my pregnancy
I wanted to be a mother so badly I would get angry at seeing my period.😂🤣
Been there too, girl. I had to wait 2.5 years worth of periods before I finally got those pink lines!
Great "serie" idea ❣️❣️ my first (and only) pregnancy was pretty easy. Can't wait to see what my next pregnancy will be like 😊
Hey! I'm another woman living in Saskatchewan!! So cool! Anddd I'm pregnant lol ❤❤ sending all my love!
Hi hun! Found you as our channel has literally same type on content, I think all of the mums around here we should share at much as possible for the new moms that have millions of questions as we all did when we become pregnant for the first time. xx
Yes!! Thank you for this, I love watching your videos and I'm 5 months pregnant so this is perfect 😍💕
Hi, just wanted to say you look so beautiful in this video! Your hair looks great and I love the color of your sweater! And the video is great :) love from Venezia
I swear; since Zach mentioned you movin your arms so much in vlogs, now I can’t unsee it😂😂 no hate it’s just hilarious
I'm 17 weeks and struggled with morning sickness 24/7 for the first 10 weeks and then about a week later I developed gastritis, which my doctor has said is related to the pregnancy. I've lost about 8kg, I can barely eat, and I'm so out of energy that I can barely leave the house and preferably just stay in bed. So far this sucks
Pregnant with my first and I absolutely have hated every moment of it thus far. I am four months and I am barely recovering from feeling sick. I throw up once a week instead of everyday. I still dont feel myself but I really have hated being pregnant. I feel like its taken away my life from me. I originally wanted three kids but if its like this again the second time I will only have two
I was high risk because I got pregnant with an IUD (not normal, it may have moved too low or too high) so got lots of ultrasounds (close to 10) and LOVED it!
So sad that I may have less than that :( I love hearing the heartbeat 😥
Also, DQ fries are THE BEST!
Random - I love that sofa!
Love this! So true, you definitely cannot prepare for it
