These are the people who deserves to be called INFLUENCERS! People who show the real side to life and show it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. So many people hide stuff like this but videos like this one’s really shows realness and it’s amazing! The first trimester can be so so rough for people (I also suffered so bad but everyone I spoke to that hadn’t been through it thought I was being dramatic) but this video will help so many people who are going through it too ❤
Couldn’t agree more ❤
wholeheartedly agree!!
Agreed!!! So helpful for so many other women to see this
I’m 19 and this was so educational compared to what we were taught in school! I cried when you cried and makes me appreciate how strong we are as woman, mentally and physically! Your like a big sister that I wished I had:)
One thing you are always guaranteed with Carys is an honest, unapologetic representation of herself.
Congratulations on your pregnancy, the hard parts of life make the great parts extremely rewarding ❤
Anyone else think Carys looks beautiful and glowing in every clip even though she’s crying half the time?! 😢❤
Yes I was going to comment that she looks so cute and adorable
how would that make her any less beautiful?

Oh Carys, I just want to give you the biggest hug right now. Thank you for sharing such vulnerable moments with us, please never apologize for your emotions, they are so valid, just as you remind us always. I’m so sorry you had so many tests during your first trimester, but you handled it like a champ. We are so proud of you. It’s so wild how much love you can feel for someone you have never met. One of the rare but most special opportunities to come from social media. I cried right along with you when you described Amber coming into the bathroom as you were getting sick. Not even a mom at all but really appreciate you sharing your experiences. ❤
I am 54, i do not have children, by choice. But i am still watching you and your first trimester struggle. And am fascinated about the strenght and courage you are showing to us. Please just be Carys!
So happy you r posting genuine raw videos to help many other people who may be experiencing the same thing also seeing your family grow from amber and now the second child can’t wait to see the bigger growth of your family again! Hope everything goes well and the pregnancy goes well!
Awww that’s lovely thank you so much Tara❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am 25 weeks pregnant and due in December. Last time, you were pregnant with amber , I remember following your journey throughout and it literally gave me a baby fever. I am so glad we’re pregnant at same time this time. Now having said that, i had a terrible first trimester. I felt sick, nauseous, sleepy all the time. I was overwhelmed with all the emotions and this is my rainbow baby and i had horrible anxiety and really wanted to get through first trimester safely. Now , the anxiety has subsided but it definitely hasn’t gone and won’t go away until i get to hold my little bub in arms. I feel nobody can prepare you how pregnancy works, it’s so different for everyone yet similar. Wishing you healthy pregnancy and can’t wait to meet your little one ♥️✨🧿
So happy you are having a baby and also so sorry for the loss of the second baby every loss is important no matter how small xx
Where did she say she had a miscarriage 😢
She said there was a possible twin as they found a mass next to the baby but the baby is healthy xxx
So glad you did this video. There’s not enough realistic pregnancy videos out there! I’m currently pregnant and felt so guilty for struggling. This video has made me feel soooo much better!💗
You're doing an incredible job! You're growing a whole other human it's the ultimate hard work. Try to shake the guilt because you're not making it up and you're the last person that would want to feel so lousy, you deserve to be so kind to yourself because now is when you need it most. Good luck for the rest of your pregnancy ❤️
@@blackcatbitch aw thank you, that’s very kind of you xx
I love how honest and real this video is. I feel like a lot of people glamourise pregnancy but I know so many people that have struggled through pregnancy and almost feel like no one’s talking about how hard it is. Thank you for sharing! I definitely cried when you cried, especially when you shared the story about amber comforting you when you were sick! My heart!! Also - is it weird that I thought your pasta, tomato soup and cheese combo looked delicious? 😂❤
My mum makes a marsetti think its called so similiar she just adds minced beef🤣
Babe, I've struggled emetaphobia for 23 years to the point of not being able to leave the house. Your fears and emotions are incredibly valid. You've probably heard it a million times over, but please remember that this is a good reason for feeling unwell, and there's a little bean at the end of it that will forever appreciate what his or her Mama did for them.
Despite the morning sickness you are looking amazing, just like I tell my 6 daughters, your a strong independent woman and you got this!! Sending all the hugs for those difficult moments xxx
I’m 20 weeks pregnant, this video was ME in my first trimester! So so so reassuring to know it’s was all normal. Sending lots of love 💗
Needed this so so much. Currently 11 weeks and it has been SO hard. Sickness, migraines... its been a lot. After struggling with infertility I felt so guilty for feeling so shit but you know what. It is what it is. It is shit and I'm allowed to feel upset about how I physically feel, even if I'm thrilled to be pregnant
Iv been there it will get easier I had IVF to get pregnant and the 1st trimester was torture its easy for ppl to try and guilt you into feeling happy 24/7 but its rough all worth it in the end but bloody hard x
Girl don't ever feel guilty. You are allowed to not love the physical effects of pregnancy and meanwhile still absolutely love and adore your baby. I have a five month old just now and the most annoying comment I ever got during pregnancy was to "enjoy it". The reality was I hated it. Third trimester I was knackered, hormonal (felt angry at everything), my digestive system was all out of sorts and I had a pile the size of a cherry tomato. The best thing about pregnancy was giving birth! I took comfort in the things I did enjoy - looking at the scan photos, seeing the bump progress from photo to photo and my partners delight at feeling baby kick. But the rest I complained about constantly and if ever anyone wanted to do the same during their pregnancy I'm an open ear ready to listen!
Don't stress yourself out too much carys!! You are absolutely glowing even when you're crying, you're doing amazing and we can all see how much love and passion you have for your pregnancy ❤️❤️❤️
Already love the video, because it’s you, it’s honest it’s raw and it’s beautiful all the incredible things you are. Sending you and your gorgeous family all the love 💕
This is truly so so kind boo thank you so much 🥹🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️
I’ll be 9 weeks Saturday, and I needed every bit of this vlog. I’m high risk due to a large sub chorionic hemorrhage, so I was put on bed rest at 6 weeks and am struggling so hard not being able to live life normally right now. I know it’s not the same struggle, but it just goes to show how hard pregnancy truly can be for everyone in different ways. I’m so grateful you choose to share your life and in a real way at that. Sending love!
I hope you are doing well and staying sane. ❤️
Thank you so much for this. Thank you for showing the real and raw side of what you have been going through with your pregnancy. I often see other vloggers making pregnancy seem like such an easy and natural thing, which often creates this unrealistic pressure to other expecting mothers that they should be acting and feeling the same way. When in reality growing a baby is hard and will take a huge toll on a body.
So thank you, thank you, thank you for being so real.
Plus you are glowing so much. It's bitter sweet, enduring and accepting how tough it is kind of makes you appreciate the process more I think.
Thanks for being a great role model on social media.
Round of applause to me for finishing lol! I am not pregnant, never have been pregnant before, and probably won’t be for awhile, but listening to Carys is always something I enjoy. I wish you both luck for the rest of the pregnancy! I love your little family, and I can’t wait to meet baby!
I WAS SOO POORLY! Unfortunately i lost my angel but those 8 weeks were absolutely horrendous physically and eventually mentally because i Couldnt do anything without passing out or being sick.I was sleeping for 2 hours and having severe panic attacks too but the peak of a heatwave made it hell. I feel you girl!!! Glad to see a realistic first trimester
So nice to hear someone else has suffered emetophobia, taking control of my daily life to the point I don’t want to leave the house! I feel so panicky and have anxiety attacks whenever I feel like I’m going to be sick such a common but stands phobia!! ❤ glad to see you back!
Thank you for sharing 💖💖
I’m 10 weeks, extreme nausea but no vomiting… almost feel like being sick would make me feel better!! Pregnancy is so hard and no one speaks to the truth about it. Sending you all the love, you are beautiful and strong 😘 xx
Hang on in there
I FEEL this. I had the craziest smell aversions, food aversions and nausea with my first pregnancy for 20 weeks. It makes me nervous to get pregnant again. But the outcome of giving my girl a sibling will make it all worth it! Thank you for showing all the ups and downs of pregnancy.
I cannot tell you how grateful I am for this video - I have been so sad and devastated with the constant nausea and vomiting because of everything I've wanted for pregnancy, and your experience has made me feel so comforted and not alone!! My husband is amazing in caring for me, but there is something so calming listening to someone else literally verbalize exactly how I've been feeling when I sometimes can't say it myself. Cried the whole time because of how much empathy I felt towards you and then can experience for myself. THANK YOU
I’m 19, and not planning on having kids for several years but I love these vlogs, it’s so informative and refreshing to see something so real.
Also I’m welsh and it’s just nice hearing the accent and seeing familiar places in your vlogs 💕💕
I am currently 2 weeks away from having my 3rd baby 💖🙏 my boys are 22 months apart , there bond is incredible 😭🥹💙💙 I never had much sickness with them but this one is a little princess and the sickness had floored me .. absolutely floored me, I felt so so guilty for my little boys I was sooooo sick … but now 2 weeks left to go and I know it was all worth it 🙏💖💖 I hope the rest of your pregnancy is amazing Cary’s . Sending you all my love and support 🌸♥️♥️♥️ YOU ARE AMAZING 🙏💖
So excited you're back with regular content but I know the first trimester was rough for you- hope it all goes up from here, much love ❤️xx
Thank you so much lovely. Truly Means a lot 🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️
can't lie i cried a couple times with you, such a raw and beautiful video, i hope the second trimester is treating you better!!
Carys I’m so happy you posted this!😢 It’s so so important to know that you are absolutely right for feeling how you do/did!🥹 I watched with my mum and we both absolutely sobbed. We are so unbelievably happy for you James and Amber having a healthy baby inside and cannot wait to come on more of this journey with you and James!✨ It absolutely hit home with us as my mum had twins before me but sadly they were still born! We were absolutely heartbroken for you but are so happy you have a healthy baby! Can’t wait to find out if the baby is a boy or a girl and so so much more! We love you loads❤️❤️
Watching you cry when Amber was with you being sick honestly got me, us mummys are absolute heros. & dads thankyou for helping us get through this transition 🙌
I was pregnant during your pregnancy with Amber (he was born in November) and oh my GOD the smell thing you’re talking about absolutely crippled me. It is so hard to describe and was so constantly uncomfortable. I feel so deeply for you suffering from the same thing again for a second time 💔 sending so much strength and positive energy for you and Little Whittaker number 2, you’re absolutely smashing it mama 💪🏻
I had HG during my three pregnancies ! No medication worked :( the only relief was birth ! I used to have a phobia of being sick but going through this has cured this phobia for me at least ! Thank you for being honest Cary ! There s nothing worst and that shakiness is something I will remember forever. I could only describe it as having a stomach bug/ travel sickness 24/7 !!! Just think everyday is one day closer to meet your little baby xxx love you Cary
Thank you so much for sharing Carys, I just think you are so well spoken and so genuinely sweet. My son is about to turn 1 next month and my husband and I have been discussing our next child. It's so nice to get an idea of what someone else's experience is and I'm so grateful that my little family is a few steps behind yours. It's like having a big sister to guide me through and relate with. You're doing all the work and I'm just sat back learning from your experiences. Makes me feel guilty you have to do all the hard work and I reap the rewards. All the best! Feel better!
You made me feel valid for feeling angry and fed up with my symptoms, I'm currently 16 weeks with my first. I'm still feeling sick day to day and exhausted, my skin super dry cause of flare up but dealing with bad acne at the same time. only thing pushing me forward is seeing my baby on the scan. thank you for making me not feel alone, I hope your pregnancy start feeling smoother 💜
Having just recently gone through my first pregnancy, i can tell you that your feelings are so valid! I hated my pregnancy, i was miserable and in pain all the time, but my baby boy is now 11 weeks old and he was so worth it. The time will fly by, i know it doesn't help you right now but when your baby arrives you will be so filled with happiness that your pregnancy will just be a thing of the past that you powered through! Wish you all the best x
Thank you for this! I’m just into my second trimester with my first pregnancy & this is so reassuring that I’ve not just been a massive drama queen 😅
Sending your little fam lots of love ❤
As soon as you guys said you were taking time off I knew 100% you were pregnant!! Congrats you’re the most beautiful humans and the best parents xxxx
Thank you for being so real Carys ❤ please stop apologising for crying and explaining your feelings, you’re SO strong and such a great Mum to Amber and whoever is in your tummy 🥰 xx
Ive struggled with Emetophobia most my adult life, and i struggled getting pregnant for years. Now im currently 24weeks and i felt so guilty for not enjoying pregnancy at all. Watching this vlog was literally like reliving my first trimester and tbh part of 2nd. Every symptom and feeling Carys feels, i experienced. Her honesty makes me feel so so much better about myself and how shitty ive felt most of my pregnancy😭❤️
So proud of you, I'm not a parent but I have suffered with depression for most of my life since puberty and the feeling of waking up and just wishing you didn't exist because you can't face the day is the most demoralising feeling in the world I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Thank you for your ultimate honesty and I'm glad offloading to us can help you too. Never be ashamed for the moments when everything is just too much and you end up breaking down, it's only natural, plus the society standard of hiding that struggle gives so many people the idea that growing a person is easy work and it reallllly doesn't seem that way 😅
I’m literally 19 and have not been pregnant before but these videos are SOOOO educational for me. I love it. More educational then school ever was
8 weeks with my second. This video was EVERYTHING I’m experiencing and I needed it to feel less alone. I’m struggling so much and the mum guilt is eating me alive too. Seeing you with Mabel now it’s motivation I’ll get through this First trimester malarky it’s one of the hardest things I’ve had to do physically
I so needed this. I’m 11 weeks and the smells since week 6 has been horrendous. Nice to have this to relate to thank you. I pray mine gets better xx
This was so comforting. Thank you for being so raw and real
I love that you guys are back vlogging again , I am not pregnant but someday in the future I hope if I am ever lucky enough. Thank you for sharing this it’s so nice to see the side of pregnancy you don’t see as all you see is the nice stuff and of the hard. You are amazing ❤ and such an inspiration to me and many others xx amber is just the cutest
Oh Carys my heart literally broke for you in the clip where you said about sounding Welsh. You are so incredibly strong. Not everyone understands the strength it takes to be a so sick and still be a mother all day. I hope your feeling better now 💚
I'm watching this vlog and crying along with you because I love you and I care about you, James, Amber, Mila and this new baby too. I'm sorry you had to go through that loss; I can't imagine how hard that was: You are incredibly strong and resilient and a great mom. Thank you for always being real. Know that you'll always have at least 1 viewer (me!) for anything you want to put out there. Sending you healing, soothing energy and hoping your nausea fades really soon!
Currently watching this whilst 10 weeks pregnant, it’s been a rough 4-5 weeks of constant nausea for me and it feels comforting to know it’s not just you who goes through it! X
Currently 35 weeks with my first 💙 and suffered with hypermesis from week 6 until about 20 weeks! Already wondering what I will be like if I had a second child and the anxiety of the sickness is just something I can’t comprehend, and will likely need to try and get on meds as early as possible - so important to share the not so glamorous, mentally draining side of this journey 💕 xxx
I’m due 2 weeks after you and THIS VLOG is everything. This is my first baby and I thought it would be so magical. It’s been everything but that. This helped me not feel crazy about how much I felt shut down!! 🙏 (omg updating this because i described it as being severely hungover too- crazy!)
I cried with you! I’m 12 weeks and going through all of this! This is my second too and I knew it was coming😢
You are smashing it ❤
An hour vlog? Yes please so excited! Congratulations on your pregnancy. So grateful we get to come along this journey with you🫶
I had hyperemesis gravidarum in both pregnancies, but magnified by a billion times in my second pregnancy..I was LITERALLY exactly how u were in this video, plus dehydrated from being sick all the time and breastfeeding my first daughter at the same time..it can only be described as the most challenging time in my life. If it weren't for my husband holding the Fort down, my mum guilt over my first daughter would've made me an emotional wreck the entire 9 months (who are we kidding, I was anyway lol). All I can say..is hang in there. This too shall pass. And soon you'll hold your second little bundle of joy and it will all be worth it. I truly mean that. The best way past the hill is over it.
I’m not even pregnant and I don’t plan on being for a LONG time, I’m only 18. I absolutely loved watching this and everything about it. Than you so much, Carys ❤️
I appreciate this video so much. We are literally 2 days apart in our pregnancies!! I'm due March 3rd, 2023 and watching your raw and honest struggles during your first trimester made me feel so much less alone. My first trimester was brutal but now that I'm in my second trimester I feel so much more like myself again and I can't wait to continue watching your pregnancy journey while I continue to go through mine 💛 Youve got this Mama!!
No idea how I’ve stumbled across this! I’ve had 2 babies and don’t plan on having any more but still can’t stop watching. You’re so relatable Cary’s. Both of my first trimesters were extremely rough. This brings back so many emotions and feelings. Thank you for being honest ☺️
Aww bless you Carys! Your so strong to push through all the crazy pregnancy symptoms!
Watching this video made me feel so incredibly luck that I didn't experience any sickness or nausea when i was pregnant. But I know so many woman do and I take my hat off to you for getting though it! Can't wait to follow your pregnancy journey for a second time! It's so beautiful watching your family grow! 💕💕
I don’t personally know you Carys but this vlog has been absolutely relatable and very much needed on this platform as majority of these types of vlogs are all laughs and giggles which sometimes makes you think “why am I so different or difficult in this joyful time” but in reality I think some people put on a front maybe because they’re scared to admit the truth in case they offend anyone or maybe they’re in denial but I’m so glad from the bottom of my heart for this truthful vlog
Thank you for being authentically you! It’s so raw, inspirational and relatable, I as many other viewers appreciate you sharing your journey with us without holding back the trails and tribulations of life 🤍 I wish you all the best with your second pregnancy
Honestly this is such a true picture of pregnancy first trimester. From 5 weeks I was sick all day, everyday, at the start I couldn’t leave my bedroom as the smell of my downstairs was a trigger to me but then my partner pushed me to go downstairs in the end. I cried everyday because I couldn’t do anything, I couldn’t leave the house, couldn’t walk to the bathroom without being sick! At around 14/15 weeks I cried to my partner and was saying I’m sure it’s all in my head now and I know I need to snap out of this as I knew it was affecting me mentally - the day after I woke up and literally snapped out of it. I’m 18 weeks now, still sick in the morning when I get up and have the day of feeling crap l. I could relate to this SO MUCH!! X
i have a level of Emetophobia and it’s one of the things i’m most anxious about when i eventually come to have kids. Seeing someone who is just as terrified at being sick as me, get through it, helps soo much. such an amazing thing to share! just wanted to let you know how much this will help people! lots of love xx
I'm currently 6 weeks and the morning sickness has hit hard. I absolute love and appreciate this video so much, its therapy for me crying on my couch 😇
Carys you are such a beautiful soul! You and James are so positive and kind I always feel so happy watching your videos.
Thank you for posting this, it must feel so vulnerable to share videos of you hurting and crying but it will help so many people and you always manage to find the silver lining or the positive message behind everything, you’ve inspired me to learn to do the same!
You have a beautiful family and you’re both amazing parents - your babies are very lucky ❤️ xx
A year ago i would've never been able to watch this video due to severe emetophobia and whilst its still really bad for me, i managed to watch this video which has been a huge exposure task for me in my recovery. Thankyou for being honest about your experience 🖤
You’re absolutely incredible Carys. I was one of those people that didn’t REALLY feel pregnant after I was about 10 weeks but the exhaustion and food aversions were insane. I couldn’t look at any meat, let alone eat it. The thought of raw chicken in a frying pan made me want to pass out 😂 and the fact that I could never get enough sleep was difficult. But 11 weeks plus I didn’t feel pregnant at all I loved being pregnant and until 36 weeks I didn’t struggle. Very very lucky.
Hope you don’t take this the wrong way but you’re so lucky that you work from home. Having to get my arse out of bed at 6am to be in an office all day with people’s lunches and needing to be ‘on’ for clients etc was such a struggle. BUT I understand you’d have your own daytime routines which will have suffered also so I hope you understand where I’m coming from.
You’re smashing it though, angel. Amber is genuinely so lucky to have such a caring and attentive mum (James you’re amazing also 😅😘) and second baby is going to be just as lucky.
Much love xxxxx.
Hearing about Amber comforting you when you were sick is so adorable 🥺💕you're such a lovely family, so excited for your 2nd little one to arrive James and Carys xxx
Watching you go through your first trimester again is making me cry, I never had all the sickness and things all the way through my pregnancy I'm glad I'm going through this with you again, you and James are soo amazing and now seeing Amber grow with mila and watching your little family grow bigger. Good luck xx
Oh Carys. I can totally relate. I was sick with both my pregnancies from 6 weeks to 9 months and a day after delivery. I ended up on tablets. The really good part about it is my consultant told me it means the hormone level is high so baby is doing great. I used travel bands that helped on the pressure points and ginger. I loathe being sick and totally panic so your not alone. Try not to be so hard on yourself, your body is making a new human and it takes it out if you. Just rest when you need and sleep when you need it will eventually pass. Lots of love and prayers.
love how raw and vulnerable you allow yourself to be. it's what caused me to start watching you and James back in 2018. congrats for getting through the first trimester!!! and thank you so much for sharing all this with us. you never fail to inspire me :)
Ahhhh carys , god love you , you've been through the mill , to show how the 1st trimester can be honest and raw is truly so beneficial to orher mums out there suffering the same, I had it just like you wirh both my pregnancies so I totally understand ❤️ hope it passes really soon and you start to feel better ❤️
You are so brave. Thank you for talking about a fear of being sick. I’ve had it since I was young and like you found pregnancy so much harder because if it. It is such a hard phobia to deal with and I think you just learn to deal with it rather than ever get over it. It’s so nice to hear a genuine vlog showing real life. Thank you.
I’m not even pregnant & you still managed to make me cry! What an incredible, genuine women you are🫶🏼 you & James really are such great parents❤️ we can’t wait to watch more of your journey. Sending hugs xox
I love your videos. I adore how real you are and how compassionate and loving you are. I have emetophobia and have for years and it does sound like what you struggle with. Not everyone is debilitated or controlled by it but it really causes anxiety around sick and nausea and I can’t tell you really found it tough!! I throw up often from anxiety and I just take it as it comes it is whag it is. You laugh, you cry, you don’t react, you panic etc it doesn’t matter you’re emotions are valid!! Anxiety is horrible and emetophobia is a form of it!! Sending you love xx
I sincerely appreciate your honestly and giving some moms a space to feel like they aren’t alone during pregnancy.
I hated being pregnant and I felt horrible for feeling that way. I was incredibly sick and had so many health issues during the full 9 months. My physical and mental health suffered so much. I thought I was going to be a bad mother bc I did not love being pregnant. Anyone I knew that was pregnant, loved it. 😳 me…not at all. I feel like I missed out on a part of motherhood. The guilt was crazy. I was so happy when I delivered and had my son. Thank you for sharing your journey with us Carys ❤️
Thank you for being so honest, it really feels like we are friends and you're having a vent session. Hang in there Carys!
I needed this! 12 weeks today and I felt so guilty that I have really despised the feelings that have come with being pregnant even though I know I am so blessed! Thank you!!
Carys I think you’re so brave and really appreciate your honesty and how genuine you are always! Also on a side note- I’ve been home feeling lonely in the evening and I watched this video whilst cooking. You chatting whilst you were in the kitchen brought me so much joy and made me feel so much better ! Thank you
Woah this is amazing! I’m going to be a first time mummy and I found this so educational! A lot of symptoms and things I’ve experienced have been so similar to you and it really has put me at ease knowing im not the only one! Im about to enter my third trimester and I promise it gets better! You’re absolutely glowing and you’re doing amazing! We all love watching these updates and they are so educational you probably don’t even realize especially to first time mummy’s! Thank you so much! I predict a boy💙
I had to pause the vlog to just say, Carys my heart breaks for you guys! I was due March 2023 ,so same as your due date, but unfortunately lost my baby. I just know our babies are together keeping each other company🤍🤍🤍
The first trimester is rough! Don't ever feel bad needing to express your feelings!
Thank you so much for this ❤
It's so so tough - far tougher than I ever expected, especially with my reactions to smells. Still feeling nauseous most days...though the sickness has eased due to meds...and 26 weeks (!)...women are incredible! Hope you feel better soon, Carys
I'm 21 weeks pregnant right now and the first trimester was rough. I had horrible nausea for close to 4 weeks then j was exhausted for the entire time. My husband caught me sleeping all the time. Never feel bad about telling us how you are feeling, I would have loved to have a friend to talk to during it.
I hope you see this but I’ve just watched all this I am currently 14 weeks with my third baby & I this was exactly me, word for word I’ve been exactly the same! Mum guilt is the worst when your pregnant, I’ve been soo poorly & my tiredness has just been overwhelming! I gag/heave all day long, the last week I seemed to have turned a corner. We planned this baby but my gosh have I hated the first trimester I am soo glad you’ve been so honest it’s really nice to finally be able to relate to someone because like you say you only see the good bits online & there’s nothing about the reality of how it actually makes you feel! Thank you! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for uploading this Carys. I was sick multiple times every single day from week 6 right up until during labour and it’s made me so scared and anxious to have more children x
I had Hyperemesis Gravidarum so was sick all day everyday from 5 weeks pregnant until the day by baby was born, lost 15kg, multiple hospitalisations . It was debilitating and unfortunately the trauma has lead us to decide we are one and done.
Your feelings are valid 💙
it doesnt matter how severe the sickness it just sucks, it was so sweet you talking abt it after you mentioned your friend having to get medication for it cause i did too, i suffered from 6 weeks right through till 12th week first day, then would come and go as pressure in my third trimester, i went to emergency triage maybe 2-3 times in first trimester from how dehydrated and sick i was, and all i can say is no matter who you are, how intense it is, your feelings are valid we are all the same just because ones is worse somewhere in the world doesnt mean that what your going through isnt incredible defficult for you to get through too. it was so extreme for me i swore my first baby would be my last, she just had her first birthday and you do forget just how much you went through, it takes everything in you day in day out and to anyone who has done it takes balls to know your in this commited journey but still put your head up, calm your nerves and get through it day by day. After experiencing my daughter for this first year i would proudly do it again with all the obsticles it comes with. i used to watch you when i was pregnant with her amber was still so little and ive just came back yesturday to find the sweetest thing that youse are pregnant again!!! it gives me hope for my second that you can get through anything even if its the same or worse that its the bigger picture, and were okay to cry and be annoyed at things but at least we can do it together. im really glad you posted something so real because the journey is beautiful for sure and overcoming so many things but doesnt mean its picture perfect and the most comfortable enjoyable thing. i have alot to catch up on with videos but i hope youve had the best second pregnancy you can and cant wait to see her and for 3 to become 4 xxx
Not being able to smell your first baby is so relatable!! I was exactly the same!! My nana told me it's nature's way of signalling you to focus on the health and wellbeing of the child within because you know subconsciously that your first is completely safe and looked after with your husband. Probably an old wives tail but it does make sense 🤔 but is no less upsetting. Something that gives you so much joy and then involuntarily doesn't anymore is really upsetting. It will get better!! Sending you hugs 🥰
I am a student still, I don't have a baby , I don't think of having one any time soon, but I loved this and cried almost all the way trough. I just love you and the love that you two have for each other is just what I aspire to have one day
You’re a strong woman Cary’s!! And James for supporting!!! The little story of Amber and you being sick made me tear up! But congratulations! Smashing it mumma! Xxxxx
Oooh Carys ❤ WELL DONE! You did so well to get through the sickness. I am so proud of you as I remember how difficult your sickness was last time too. Looking forward to all of the vlogs to come xxx
I paused the video at 8 minutes in when you said "mum guilt" to write this.
Girl, I have a 5 (nearly 6) year old and a 1 year old. When I was pregnant with my 1 year old, I was so so unwell all the way through, I had to give up work, I couldn't do anything but sit on the sofa and sip water, suck mints, anything that would give me some sort of relief from my nausea. I had the absolute worst mum guilt, I'd cry all the time because I felt so guilty that my oldest boy didn't have anyone to play with, had to just do his own thing while I sat and watched. My partner works away so is only home on weekends and I just carried so much guilt that I was going through with the pregnancy knowing id be unwell all the way through, thinking my eldest son was feeling abandoned and left out (he absolutely didn't, but that's how it makes you feel). I've had 2 awful pregnancies, an emergency csection after an awful induction, and a planed csection which ended in disaster.. safe to say I'll never be pregnant again but I really do appreciate people showing that pregnancies can be hard!!
Oh my Carys, you bring all the down to earth vibes. I struggled with sickness in my first pregnancy till 24 weeks, my daughter is two days younger than Amber and I’m so nervous with being pregnant again and how different it will be looking after another little human at the same time! You’re so strong! Sending love 💕
I'm 18 weeks pregnant today and it's so nice to see you at your most raw, i looked and felt like death in my first trimester 🥰 I'm hoping you come out with winter maternity clothing with inthestyle soon!! ❤❤❤
YOU are amazing Carys. Thank you so much for this, it’s so needed. Women are incredible and we can be put through so much which really, is barely talked about. Before I had my 2 kids, I had no idea I could go through so many things. I think we often feel so guilty to feel a certain way because it is a rarity that we can see other women going through it too. You’re a breath of fresh air. Hope you’re feeling more yourself now 🥰💛
Thank you as always for being so honest - I hope you are feeling better now. Amber is going to be an amazing big sister and the two of you are obviously incredible parents. Thank you for sharing and lots of love ❤
im 22 weeks pregnant and just over this stage and had a really rough time with it, thank you so much for making this video i remember feeling so alone and this felt like a massive hug from my best friend going through it with me 💓💓💓
I'm 12 weeks this week...last week I balled my eyes out to my partner in the car as we drove to his family for a dinner because I was fed up of puking. I hate puking. I actually think pregnancy has made me fearful of being sick. Before pregnancy i didnt suffer from anything like heart burn but since falling pregnant if i dont battle the nausea and vomiting then im battling the fire in my throat from the indigestion...bloody hormones....But then I wouldn't change anything in the world. I'm now on tablets from the Dr's for my nausea and now all I do is sleep throughout the day 🤣 much much better! ❤ thankyou for being so open and honest during this video it's made me feel so much better! Xxx
I've never been pregnant (yet) but I do suffer from emetophobia (I have my whole life) and it is something I am very much afraid of for when we do plan to have children. And while talking about it does make me anxious, I also find it quite comforting seeing you talk about experiencing it and surviving it. This video is so beautiful and real. Sending you so much love for the rest of your pregnancy ans doe your family 💕💕 thank you so much for being willing to be raw and real with us. It's so helpful💕💕
That was so emotional! 🥺 I just wanted to give you a big hug! I am due in March too and my first trimester has been rough with sickness. Thank you for showing your more vulnerable side! It’s not all sunshine and rainbows! Sending lots of love xx
You are an incredible person 💕 Please never feel as though you can't be real and express any feelings that you have, negative or positive. We love you more than you know! ❤
I love how real this is! Im nearly 34 weeks and have HG.. consistently sick morning, noon and night for the past 8 months... Absolutely horrible💔 I hope your sickness has passed xx
I had what you had for the whole 9 months. I used to have to walk round my house with a scarf and a vix stick near my nose so I couldn’t smell my house. If you’re sick continues get help from your midwife/doctors and they can give you anti sickness medication. I did get diagnosed with HG and was hospitalised with my sickness and I just know how you’re feeling and want to give you a big hug!
