Give us all the pregnancy content.😏
I didn't know how to ask questions on Instagram, but I was wondering if your kitchen will be done by the time baby arrives.
Lilith is a cute name for a girl- call her Lily
I will support you no matter what content, watching you over past 3yrs inspired me to keep going with my 3 Enthusiast channels. Thanks for everything you share and so happy to see you happy and smiling it’s been a long road .
This is the video i needed to see your happiness and joy.
Found out yesterday my girlfriend in Uk has cancer at 29yrs old with 3 kids.
So been in tears a lot as I’m in Australia at the moment.
Congratulations, so happy for you. 🥰 I’ve been following you for years, it’s awesome to see your life story unfold!!
You said using an example of a relationship “were really good friends but not headed in the same direction” i feel like thats 90% of peoples relationships now & then you watch them fall apart when they arent headed the same way kid or not
You don’t need to be guilty about pivoting to pregnancy if that’s what you choose. I subscribed to you because of you. Not because of what one or a couple of videos were about. Congratulations!
100% agree!
My sentiments exactly
here, here!!
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Such an exciting time! I just had my first baby and wasn’t opposed to the epidural, but really wanted an unmedicated birth and I did it! It truly makes you feel amazing and I think helps with the recovery. The breathing practiced helped me so so much and I have the pain tolerance of a child lol so I bet that will help so much. Best of luck to you and your beautiful baby!
I'm so excited for you! I just had my first baby last month (he's napping on me while I write this 🥰) and my whole birthing experience was amazing!
After hearing many hospital birth stories from the women in my life, a lot of them were not very positive and I wanted to make sure I had a postive birth experience because it is a big deal. I researched about midwifery and felt strongly that this type of care was right for me for two main reasons: (1) I'm a healthy woman and trust my body, therefore wanted to avoid unnecessary medical intervention (like epidural, being induced, etc.) and (2) wanted personalized care in an environment where I felt relaxed and supported. My birthing center has 3 midwives and many classes like the stages of labor, breastfeeding, bottle feeding, newborn care basics, postpartum plans, etc.
I was also unsure of my pain tolerance but for me the contractions were just like really bad period cramps so they were super manageable and I would say knowing how to breathe through them is key. I only did one type of breathing, the low "moo."
I also want to recommend doing exercises on a birthing ball to help your pelvic floor. You are so right that women are built for this and epidurals didn't start being administered until the 70s so for millenia women have been having unmedicated births, trust your body. I love talking about my birth story so if you happen to actually read this and have questions, I'd be happy to answer/share more about my experience. Instagram @preferablyprek 😊
So glad I watched this video! Just got my ticket for the event in Dallas! Also of course so excited for you and to watch your journey.
Yay!!! As a mom of two little boys, I’m so happy for you! I’m loving everything you’ve decided to share. I watched tons of your videos during my maternity leave last year with baby #2. Wishing you all the best on this journey, and thanks again for sharing!!! ❤
SO smart to have those conversations BEFORE you are emotionally invested in the relationship.
BTW, Congratulations! 🎉
You didn't ask for name suggestions, so feel free to ignore the rest of the message.
You may want to look at the mythic and folklore traditions from the baby's ethnic heritages.

Any name you thought of while reading this list.
Something related to your last name.
I love that you are waiting to meet your baby before making the decision final.
Best wishes for an easy pregnancy, a forgettable delivery, and a healthy baby and mama.
Uhh I know this is a bit random but, I've never seen my name reccomended as a baby name before, that makes me really happy🥰
I'm just glad you aren't long distance. I don't need to understand everything, what's great is that he'll get to be a part of this wonderful moment in your family! Also, that you'll have more help, my respect to single moms, because I need my husband.
Literally just thought “when is the new Cathrin video out” and here you are! ❤
Girl breathing during labor was my number 1 fear as well. I didnt want to get lightheaded or get anxious nd then when I heard someone else's #1 advice was to "just breath" that was it. There's no need for a technique either, your body knows how to breath. No he he hoo shit, just don't tense up your abdominal muscles when you have a contraction, let it do its work, breath and open them hips! I birthed 2 healthy babies with no meds, had no pain and am a whopping 110lbs. I had my first at 27 within 4 and a half hours of labor and 45 minutes pushing on my hands and knees and my second standing next to the bed with no pushing just a couple strong contractions that brought her out. I did go with midwives and was free to shower and walk about until I literally no longer could. My best advice for anyone is, we should not birth babies on our backs, our sacrum is literally built the other way and there is also a public symphysis in our body for a reason. I know my birthing experiences were so rare and I am so greatful. I wish more could experience it the way I did. Sorry that was a lot. I love to empower other women to trust their bodies. I'd love to chat more if your interested. I hope this was useful. I wish you the best and keep in mind it can only last so long and it will be over with a baby to hold afterwards.
Congratulations - Your new journey into motherhood will be the most rewarding experience yet!
Thank you for this video and no need to stop the pregnancy content!! Most exciting project you've ever worked on IMHO 😉 And thanks for being as open and transparent as possible, it's really good to hear. Much love to you and yours ❤
I absolutely love your channel and I’ve been enjoying the new videos you’ve been sharing. So happy for you and your pregnancy journey I couldn’t be happier for you!! Thank you for sharing your pregnancy journey with all of us
I hope I can make it to the San Francisco workshop. Thank you and congratulations on everything 😊.
Hey and congrats!! Been tuning in for a few years now and love your content. I have 18-month-old twins and I totally relate about needing to get your eight hours of sleep. This was actually something I was very worried about when I was pregnant. I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of a night nanny or night nurse, it’s basically a person that comes and stays with the baby overnight. I had a night nurse from the time we brought the boys home until they were three months old for three nights a week. It was a total lifesaver to be able to have a solid night’s sleep a few days a week. It can be a little pricey, we paid about $250 a night. But, it was worth every penny in my opinion. Anyways, just wanted to share that with you, hope you have a great day!
The entry way looks amazing!
I’m loving these 30+ minute blogs!!!! ❤
Sitting down watching with a snack and my Cavalier chase 🐶
Love the long videos too!! 💕
Same! Here for the long videos right now! x
Congratulations again ❤❤❤ and congratulations on the new hire!!! I love that you’re showing us what this process looks like as an influencer ❤
When you said Poppy knew because of course she ran into the bathroom is so relatable, young dogs are so much like toddlers!
Pregnancy has been good for you. Your freckles are getting darker! CUTE!
Omg the burping part is spot on. I didn't know how to describe that symptom haha it's so weird. I always would sit up and forward to let those bubbles come forward to burp.
My favorite thing about working for myself from home is that I can throw your video on the second the notification comes through. So excited to keep hearing about your pregnancy/your life in general ❤
So true 😂
Hey Catherin! Enjoy being in your baby bubble 😊 And I totally get what you say about eloping and throwing a party after. My husband and I did that and we’ve never regretted it. It makes the day truly all about you and your relationship and it’s so special and intimate. You do you xx
I think that the business tour is a great idea. Hope y’all have fun and be safe you have precious cargo. 😉❤️
Will you be adding more dates to the workshop? Maybe closer to the MD, VA, DE area? I'll go to NY if I need to but not ready for that level of chaos. 😅
Hypnobabies retrains your mind to perceive the “pain” as just discomfort and makes it extremely easy to handle (at least in my 2 births!) please look into the home courses! Breathing helps but the medical grade hypnosis techniques are so powerful. Plus the 6 week course will educate you on all things pregnancy, labor, medical interventions etc.
Thumbs up for the "interviewing" idea. Yes! Be SURE to have these big topics on the table before starting an actual relationship
After seeing all you have gone through the past few years, it's amazing to see you happy! ❤
Hey Manning babes in the comments! Catherine, congratulations once again. You’re going to be a great mom!
I read Natural Childbirth the Bradley Method when I was pregnant. Very informative!
As an OB I love when people want to learn about physiologic birth and want to embrace the amazingness that is the human body and birth. I am so excited for you!
I havent seen Instagram sometimes I rest, but I like how you answer to those who question you about baby 🥰🥰🥰
Yal are coming to atlanta! I’m really thinking about buying a ticket🤍
Wish you were coming to my city, would love to be able to meet!
Your “Creating Profitable Influence Workshop Tour” doesn’t have any events near me. Maybe next time you two do this you will have Minnesota on the list.
I loveeee youuu & mini you! 🥰💞🫶🏾
I feel the birth question 💯. I’d like natural, but I want options for how I will feel in the moment. It was you asking Patricia more about her birth and baby questions in the pod that made me go hmm…..
Bless you and him and it 😍 so many exiting times are coming. I absolutely recommend to anyone even men, learning breathing techniques is a life essential, there is no better and more natural way of dealing with short term pain.
Sounds random but deep down it feels different to me: I always said I liked looking for a husband at Home Depot…almost 6 years ago there was a solar eclipse. I was at Home Depot. Turns out, my now-husband was too. We met about 3-4 weeks later on a dating app. I found out later about him being at Home Depot at the exact same time, too. Cosmic love, baby! 🙌🏻😍
I'm so happy for you 😊 Will you be sharing some insights from your workshop tour afterwards for the people outside the US? 🥹
Greetings from Germany ❤️
Thanks for answering so many of my questions! Wish I could come to the NYC event but I'll be away. Wah wah! Looking forward to the bigger retreat!
Congratulations Cathrin! You’re going to be a great mommy ❤
If you can do a Lamaze class i highly recommend it helped me so much
You answered both of my questions!! I feel so honored🥰🥰
I am from English Fluency journey , She recommended your channel
I’m the same with names. My first son got his name the same day he was born, but the second… well he was 8 days young 😂
Baby Name Sunday on RUclips has millions of names. 😁💛 My daughter was named when she was born and I was holding her. 😂❤
I can't afford the workshop but knowing that the retreat is next year? I might be able to save up and make it happen! But um, what _is_ a retreat? 😂
I want to know all the answers to the ones on the thumbnail, here for this Q&A! Hope you’re getting more and more support from your subscribers since that first video ❤
Cathrin girl I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE WORKSHOP! I got my tickets and the private dinner!!! I need this whole experience! I have been watching you for years and I’m so excited girl!! Ready for you to drop these gems ok because this year is my year for my RUclips channel!!! She ready 🖤
Yesss! I’m going too! Which location are you going to? I’m going to the Dallas one!
A lot of this "it's happening for a reason" sounds so much like the podcast episode about synchronicity (Mel Robbins) I listened to earlier today. So happy that the stars are aligning for you! 🌟🌠Tuesday mornings are my go-to day for Sisterhood of Uncomfortable Pants 🥰 As a mom of two (one is now a teen) taking naps when the baby is napping was awesome! Was more difficult to do with two kids though.
The tiny burping is heart burn! I had it my whole pregnancy and it progressed to actual heart burn later in the pregnancy.
My friend named her daughters Nakesha, Maraya and Sharaya. All beautiful girls with beautiful souls ❤
I saw you comment in the description and on Instagram about the tour, wish I could attend but conflicts for the dates in a city near (ish) to me. I bet it is going to be amazing. Cheering for you and Kameron to take on this challenge.
Omg yes I only had one on hand. It came back positive… so I ran to the dollar general down the road and bought 5 more from 3 different brands 😅 and the checkout lady was like “you really want to be certain don’t you?” And it totally threw me off and I was like “yeah” but I wanted to be like “WELL DUH?!” 🙄 some people
Both of my pregnancies were different, my nausea was worse with my daughter. My husband came up with their first names, we wanted something unique. I'm part Hawaiian and my dad passed away so it was important to have my family name and a Hawaiian name to be part of their middle names.
Thanks for sharing. So excited for you!
What a casual thing to toss in at the end 😜 congratulations on all fronts!
❤️❤️❤️ keep updating us Cath! We love everything that you can share! I’m excited for the gender more than anything haha I hope it’s a boy! Cuz that’s my guess!
Our youngest daughter’s name is Novalie which we had never heard before just found it on the internet and still (5 years later) haven’t met anyone with the same name.
We are the same age and I recently had a baby he’s 7 months old and you are right our body definitely knows (I listen to my body and it works) I did tons of research like you and breathing techniques and I didn’t think I could have a a unmedicated birth because my pain tolerance but I did it and I think the research is what help me!
Hello Cathrin I Love Your Story 🙂
Lol when you said that's not their name it's like the scene in friends when Emma is born and Rachel cries saying that's not her name.. I forgot what name that was. Isabella or something
I must have missed something back when you started saying "my man" cause I actually thought you were talking about your dad, like he's your man/key help to doing your house lol 😅
I would love to go to the workshop, but I’m currently working on my financial journey. I can’t wait for you to do another tour workshop when it’s in the budget for me 😃
Congratulations Cathrin! 🎉 You are going to be a great mum! I had a water birth with my daughter snd it was such a great experience x
This is all so exciting! We had one name picked out for both girls and when we saw them that didn’t change. Am I the only one that’s happened to 😆
The irrational anger is always it for me!
love this
I try to never hand out unsolicited advice to people I don't know but I'll just say that the best advice *I* ever got when I was pregnant was to NOT treat my body like it's broken. I walked 2 miles to work every day with my first pregnancy and I credit that with giving me the EASIEST pregnancy and childbirth ever. I'm talking 2 hours of labor/4 good pushes and it was over. It helps keep your hip joints flexible, expands your pelvis, keeps your lower back muscles strong and gets the baby into optimum position at the end. Obviously talk to your doc but I hate seeing women advising other women to lower their activity during pregnancy...that's probably the worst thing to do for most of us.
And I LOVE the idea of you getting back into teaching mode...I enjoy your content regardless of topic (and the switch to reno content was fun) but you are a natural born teacher!
Congratulations
Who wanna do bets on gender lol jk, I am predicting a boy. I say that cause of Fancys louder barks. She is protective of the little king😊. But congratulations again darling. To many more successful and amazing things to come for you and yours. Blessings to everyone here to share the wonderful time for you. 😊❤😊
I think a boy too because I have a vague memory of her sharing that she had a girl’s name she’s always loved… but either way 🎉
I just wanted to apologize for my snarky comment on the video before the announcement. I instantly understood why you were so different the last few months. I am so happy for you! Congratulations!
When “he” is born
So happy for you Cathrin! Congrats! 🥰
I am glad you are doing your own thing. It is your marriage. Protecting your relationships is important ❤🎉❤ congratulations on this new chapter.
I started following you for RUclips growth content and stayed for the interior design content even though it’s not my thing because I love and support you and now I am so here for the pregnancy/mom content! It really seems full circle since my channel is all motherhood related 😄
My kids are Arianna, Bellamy, and Finnick. Just some ideas hehe.
I bet you are a The 100 and Hunger Games fan! Amazing names!
@@RaquelAbracadabrantes I sure am!! Lol
I really loved those names and the characters. My boys are totally suited to them as well!
Every time one of these videos comes through I have to stop everything I'm doing to watch!! Lol
Congratulations! I think you'll be a GREAT Mom!
I think the question as to your happiness was answered in the raw video you shared. Your initial reaction made that very clear!! ❤
“No, we will not be long-distance.” OMG, what a tease!! 😊😊
Wow you are have a baby line your question and answer on pregnancy
I love to hear that you are keeping all the personal details between you and your man offline, so you can enjoy the moments and times with each other and family ❤️❤️❤️. I am so happy to see this dream coming true for you.
In my opinion birth feels like extremely strong cramps then you push like you’re pooping them out. I liked the epidurals. Ask for support in front of you to hold on while they stick you. If it’s your man it feels better but a nurse will do. Nurses don’t really tell you anything unless you ask and the hospital experience is just tiring very hard to rest the 2-3 days you’re there.
Maybe birth photographer... Not to share to the world but so you have the memories. Honestly, I hardly remember the birth of both my babies. Mommy brain makes it foggy so you are willing to do it again 😂
Mom of one boy here. Content creater and renovator. There is no way i’m not going to continue watching your videos ❤
In regard to the sleeping, schedule schedule schedule as soon as the baby is born. You have good sleep habits already so make baby part of it from the start. We’re 4 for 4 with good sleeping babies, and I really think it has to do with schedule from the start. 😊 also, I subbed to you fall 2019 and I can’t believe I’m watching this video!
Yes there are other people like that! My mom always said that we need to watch our babies for a bit after their born and they’ll tell us their name!! ❤❤ Many blessings my dear!!
i could NEVER confirm a name before seeing the baby
Congrats! My wife and I are having our first next month and it's all pretty exciting. Trying to figure out how work on my own RUclips channel is going to be after that happens but hey, I've been consistent for the last 2.5 years thanks to you and others so I know it'll work out.
Yay!!🙂❤️✨🏠🔨🐕🍼
Thanks for taking time to share your life! I’m excited and so glad to hear you will be able to take care of little one together as a unit. Sounds like a lot happening behind the scenes! Congrats on all of it!
I am so very happy for you!! I am excited for everything you share! I desperately hope I can make it to your retreat! You can be as quiet about any parts you want and hopefully most of us will respect that. I will say I'm sad you're not moving forward with merch, I get it, but I love representing your mission and supporting you! ❤ Cheering you on in everything you do! My fiancee and I are having "an elopement that got out of hand" our county doesn't do courthouse weddings, so we were going to have to have something little, so we decided to invite some people... Tough to keep it small now. And about a month after the wedding we're doing a cross country move, scary but exciting, but a lot to plan all at once!
💖💖💖
Hold up.. I'm still watching. Your Mom gave birth unmedicated and he was sunny side up?? Can I buy your Mom a drink?? LOL My first born was sunny side up. I was young at the time (this was 1991), but I still remember it like it was yesterday! Kudos to Mom!
Nice
When I was pregnant with my son I was making myself spaghetti and accidentally dropped all of it in the sink, I soooobbed, I was so hungry 🤣 so I feel you on the delivery food story
As someone who's had two babies with no meds, one without hypnobirthing and one with, may I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend hypnobirthing to you!!! I mean, I was so lazy I only read the book and listened to the CD about twice, because baby no 2 came 2 weeks early and I was SO grumpy the night before, I refused to listen to the CD and instead went to bed listening to Paul McKenna's "I Can Make You Rich"… LOL! Needless to say that was not a good choice as I woke up in labour and I am still not rich. 🤣 But boy that hypnobirthing stuff WORKS. Good Luck with it all!
Yes to hypnobirthing 🙌🏽 I recommend “Hypnobabies” home program specifically. Had 2 babies pain-free at home, planning to do so again for my 3rd this year 💜
Love love this!!! Im so happy for yall!! Your gana be a great mom. 🎉🎉🎉 oh I think it's a girl💞💞💞
