My wife is 34 weeks and 1 day pregnant. I was diagnosed with testicular cancer causing infertility issues. We went through three rounds of IVF and received 2 embryos. This was our last embryo and our last chance at having a bilogical baby of our own. It worked and here we are. We are so blessed and your videos I watch every week on Friday! Thank you for all the information you provide. Miracles happen every day.
@tylerlong9677 congratulations so happy for you even i have conceived throught ivf and i am 34 weeks pregnant now, did your wife had a normal delivery or a csection or had she even delivered yet the reason why i am asking is because my doctor has recommemded to do a planned csection at 37 weeks despite of evwrything bekng normal until now

I'm also pregnant with our rainbow baby after 2 miscarriages. I'm 20 weeks and 5 days and we don't know the gender yet, my sister in law is going to get it for us when we go in for the anatomy scan in 5 days 💛 I wish good health to you and your baby !!
From Jamaica living in the USA! 34 tmrw! Thank you Lord! I’m so grateful and still in denial haha my 1st baby! I cannot wait to meet you baby girl 😘 Safe delivery to everyone!

I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant with my rainbow baby. My husband and I have been trying for almost 4 years. Diana, I'm glad I came across your videos first for my pregnancy as a first time mom!❤
First time parents, 5 weeks along today! Finding out early has given me way too much time to worry and have anxiety about this pregnancy…watching these videos are informative but also help take my mind away from all the anxious thoughts!
Hi, I'm from Towson, Maryland and My husband and I found out that we're pregnant today, this is our first baby. Very excited to get started preparing for baby!
I’m 2 years late but I wanted to add. Make sure you have a baby seat or baby rocker that you can bring to the bathroom with you. You can go number 2 or take a shower and not worry that your baby is crying in the bedroom all by themselves. It’s life saving. Trust me
Do mums in Brazil us Aniball, or the traditional method of shortening birth and avoiding tearing and episiotomy? Please view my entries above. Thank you for your reply.
I have PCOS and I’m on birth control to regulate my period I really wanna get pregnant 🤰🏻 so I watch videos like this to keep me thinking positive and to get ready for when I do have a baby 💕
Hi, may I ask,had you heard of Aniball or the traditional method of shortening birth for baby and avoiding tearing in mum, Ina May Gaskin's favourite method? Please see my entries above.
Hello! PCOS girl here too… and after 3 years i started to implement changes on my diet, more gym (not only cardio) and medication by my gynaecologist and now i’m 13weeks! so, it’s possible 💖 keep that positive mind!
@@yenisrequena4552 wow I’m so happy for you congratulations 🎉 thank you for giving me more hope it really helps I’ve lost 7 pounds already and my period is regulating so I am gonna keep on trying my best and hopefully get on an ovulating medication soon😊👍🏼
This is my 2nd pregnancy. I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks with my first, now I am 30 weeks due in March so excited and scared. 🙏🏼☺️🎀 thanks for making these videos cause I’ve never done this before ❤️😬
I am 41 years old and 35 week pregnent with my 4th baby . Our elder boy is 22 , 19 years daughter and 17 years son. Very useful videos of yours i have followed all the way ,😊 love it. Here in Norway hospital and is free of cost so reliefed. Thank you for amaizing tips 🤗
Oh thanks for sharing! I'm newly pregnant with my 6th, four years since my last pregnancy/miscarriage. 14 years since my last live birth. I'm 42! People say the weirdest things when they find out I'm expecting. It's hard to know how to respond.
I’m 40 and pregnant with my 3rd. Our son will be 20 this year and our daughter will be 15. It’s nice to know that there are other mom’s out there in similar situations. I hope you all have beautiful healthy babies!
I'm so glad I saw these comments! I'm also 42 and 34 weeks pregnant with my 5th child. However it's been 14 years since my last one, I'm finding myself scared out of my wits. A lot of people say oh wow you're just starting all over again. Honestly I'm a little tired of that comment. Lol. But I'm still a little scared, so it's good to know I'm not alone. 😊
@@heatherkee5738 All the very best. You ll going to enjoy wach and every momebt with your coming baby like i am doing with my 3 months baby boy. All the very best ❤✌
So far, so good. I hope that after viewing my TH-cam channel birth videos, with the knowledge gained, you'll feel empowered, and your fear will be much reduced. 'Mums Independent' are on Facebook. The floor to the lower tummy can be transformed prior to birth, to be able to act as a trapdoor, so shortening birth, avoiding tearing and episiotomy. The very good news... Please research further, or contact me.
I’m 39 weeks with my second baby girl. Nesting and hospital bag are all ready for me to go to hospital anytime. Thank you for making the informative videos.
I'm 33 weeks along with my first child, and it's a boy! 💙 I think we got almost everything we need, I think.. But I'm still stressing over everything to make sure we have everything we need for this little guy. Been trying to watch as many videos of other mommas to see what they suggest, so I can get more ideas.
Don’t worry too much momma! You’ll do just fine. Baby needs the basics and all the love he can get . You’ll realize what you truly need as time passes I promise there is always one more thing that can be purchased but at the end of the day you’ll realize most of these things are nice-to-haves not must-haves . Good luck 🍀 wishing you and baby boy the safest delivery ever !
May I ask, had you stared to use the traditional method of shortening birth for baby, and avoiding tearing and episiotomy for mum, painless, gradual 'Birth Canal Widening' to 10cm diameter achieved prior to the start of birth (Wikipedia English 'Perineal Massage') or Aniball device? 'Mums Independent' on Facebook and my four 'Birth explained...' videos on my TH-cam channel (with fun poems for kids and 'Custard making made fun for children' which promotes Shakespeare) go into more detail. Thank you: for your reply, for sharing and helping to keep antibiotics working in to the future.
I lived in the state for 15 years and now I live alone here in Germany. My husband is in another country in the military and I’m basically going through my pregnancy all alone, I am 24 months pragnant and started watching your videos since Yesterday 😊 I am so glad that I have find you. This video was VERY helpful ❤ your explanations are very good, clear and just awesome😊 thanks for your videos❤️ we will have a baby boy👶
Im 6 weeks pregnant, single mom this is my second pregnancy however and the first was a long and scaary ride because i was a teenager and had zero prenatal care. This time around I am looking to get things done fast and easy for the sake of my baby. I appreciate all your advice and im praying for just a healthy baby 🍼 ❤.
Today I’ve been told I’m showing at 34-35 weeks along instead of the 32-33 weeks I had been measured at. The doc told me I can expect baby to pop by the end of this month at the soonest and I’m both nervous and excited! Thanks for this, it came at a valuable time!
I'm 31 weeks expecting my first baby, a little girl 🎀🧸. I've been getting the essentials for her and for postpartum care for me. It can be overwhelming so ladies it helps to at least give yourself a head start do not wait until last minute. Wishing you all a healthy pregnancy and safe delivery 💕💞
I'm 32 weeks pregnant tomorrow, pregnancy #3 with my first 💙 boy. Two daughter's already ages 15 & 7. I'm 39 years old and starting over again. I can't wait to meet my baby boy. We've been wanting a son since forever.
Just found out I’m pregnant I’m about a month pregnant or so I’m just so excited and grateful that god gave me this chance to have a little blessing in my tummy 🥺❤ I’m just so emotion and all over the place even songs get me really emotional lol I’m so happy I can’t wait to meet my little angel god bless you other mommies or want to be mommies. Life is beautiful and we have the chance to create it.
I just started watching the channel. It helps me so much. I am currently 6 1/2 months. This is my 1st pregnancy. The videos are really helpful to me. I’m having a baby boy
I’m 20 weeks along with my first. Just found out we are having a baby boy at the anatomy scan ❤️ haven’t gotten anything yet but want to wait a little bit to start shopping it’s overwhelming 😅
Been watching since I found out I was pregnant, and am now 35 weeks. I felt really good when I realized I already have most of the stuff you mentioned!
Baby carrier!!!! It’s like my favorite thing when they are little. Makes it easy to get them to sleep, get things done and be out and about with toddlers who need me to be able to use my hands!
I am pregnant with second baby. My son is 5 years old and I remember looking video like this when I was pregnant with my son. And what people usually say: you don't need it, I barely use it, in my case I used it the most. So it is very individual. Every mom is different, every kid is different.
21 weeks with my baby girl💕💕💕 you’ve helped me so much since I’ve found out I am pregnant. I wish I could have a doctor as sweet and informative as you🥺 I think this is the perfect profession for you, you do it so well!
Hello, I'm 21 weeks pregnant with baby #4. Located in Phoenix, AZ. I've been watching all your videos since I found out I was pregnant. It has been very useful and even with this being my 4th pregnancy, I learn something new every time that I didn't know with my previous pregnancies. So thank you for making these videos and helping us be better prepared for our bundle of joy.
9 weeks pregnant, first pregnancy. I am enjoying the week by week pregnancy updates on your channel. I am hoping and praying for a healthy pregnancy, easy delivery and healthy baby
I’m 14 weeks 6 days! First MIRACLE baby!! Thank you this is so helpful. Those that hope to get pregnant one day. Please don’t lose hope! It will happen to you. Blessings
I'm from Australia and I'm 8 weeks pregnant with my first. We had the first ultrasound today so it is starting to feel WAY more real! Looking at all content to try and prep for the baby!
Am from Uganda, pregnant with my third 24 weeks and started watching you since week 5.Your videos have prevented me from rushing to hospital frequently because I know what to expect at any stage.Thank you.
Is Aniball, or the traditional method of avoiding episiotomy and tearing and shortening birth for baby something you know about? 'Mums Independent' on Facebook. My TH-cam channel has four birth videos.
I've been binge watching all of your videos and anything pregnancy related. My husband and I are starting to try to conceive next month and i am so excited for this phase of life and really have been focusing on my pre conception nutrition 😁
39 weeks - and I. Just had my baby by c section as she was breech^^ this channel helped me from the week 5 till the end. I really enjoy all videos. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the time you put in making these video, all the information and simple details which are so important.
I am 30 weeks pregnant first time mom and excited to welcome our cute little baby in to this world all we want healthy baby and me … ❤ your content is so informative and helpful ❤
22 weeks first baby!! I'm from Canada so some of these don't apply for me. I really love baby list registry because you can add items from ANY store! In Canada as well we get 12-18 months paid maternity leave.
Can you get Aniball in Canada? Is the traditional method of totally avoiding episiotomy well known (Wikipedia English 'Perineal Massage' ) with the importance of 10cm clearly understood? Dr Zenko BILAS TH-cam videos, 'Birth explained for children' and more. Thank you for your reply.
Meanwhile in the USA I’m trying to get tanf which is basically just cash assistance from the state, 7 months pregnant and they won’t approve me getting a measly $250/month unless I work 30 hrs a week. The first three months of work won’t affect the benefits bc then if I make “too much money” they take away snap (food assistance) and the tanf. 🤯 make it make sense
35 weeks today with my first baby! Definitely needed this video as I’ve been stressing about what should be done by now before the baby gets here. Thank you Diana 💗💗💗
First time parents! 5 weeks pregnant! These video are so helpful and I love getting advice from a fellow mother! Definitely helps with deciding what I do and don’t need
36 weeks this Saturday with my Rainbow Baby. FTM mom carrying a baby girl 😭 I love her so much already and I’m so scared I just want the best for her. Thank you Mrs Diana for all the help, advice, and love. You have helped my stress a whole lot since discovering your channel around 20 weeks. 💓
Are you aware of Aniball, or 'Mums Independent' on Facebook? Thank your for your reply. Our NHS in UK is struggling financially, so Aniball is not on the NHS.
Im 28 weeks along, (first baby second pregnancy) and this video helped soooo much ! Thank you Diana. I’ve been watching you since i found out I was pregnant at 5 weeks 🤞🏼
Is Aniball available in your country? 'Mums Independent' are on Facebook and my TH-cam four birth videos can be found, if you expand the list by clicking on 'videos' to the right of 'list' above the thumbnail screens. Thankyou for your reply.
So I found on on August 21st, 2023 that I have a baby boy due on September 28th, 2023!! Long story short, was told I couldn’t have children due to PCOS, was on birth control. I didn’t recognize symptoms because I don’t have a gallbladder.. I thought I was just having stomach problems oh my! This baby is definitely a miracle and something I didn’t know I wanted so badly, but not much time to prepare. Luckily I have a great support system! I’ve enjoyed watching your videos!
I love this!! This really helps me to get ready for my first time! I’m 15 weeks and super nervous about what do. Thanks to your video I can get a list down for reference.
I had my baby girl at 37 weeks by c- section. I watched your videos all the way from 4 weeks. Very informative and entertaining to say the least. Thanks Diana 🌼
I’m 21 weeks and this is my first baby! We just found out I’m having a baby girl! We are also in the process of buying our first home! So time to get on all the things!!
I wanted a daughter and my wife had a baby girl. Dreams do come true. Had you heard of 'Mums Independent' on Facebook, full of information? Please reply, if you have any problems seeing the Facebook page, as I have birth videos on my TH-cam channel also. Hope you will be empowered.
Hi, I’m Pregnant with my second child. This time it’s a girl I’m super excited. I got my ass kicked by postpartum depression the first time. This time I’m trying to educate myself as much as I can to have a beautiful positive postpartum period. Thank you. I’m enjoying the information you shared very much and finding it extremely useful. Both of my babies are planned and talked about for years.
I am 30 weeks pregnant currently with my first baby and have been watching your videos since week 5! Thank you for all the great and helpful information! I am always excited for the next videos! 😊
I’ll be 27w on Monday I wanted an Aries so bad lol I hope she comes a week or two early this is my first baby too I’m about to start stocking up on everything 😭
Hi Diana! I’m loving your videos. I’m 14 weeks, first pregnancy, with a baby girl. I’m 37 years old, and a nurse, but I feel so unprepared! Your videos are teaching me so much and putting my busy mind at ease. Thank you! ❤
Hi there from the US and currently 24 wks - love you videos as a first time mom to be! Just wanted to mention my experience with maternity leave. The FMLA is only applicable to larger companies with 50+ employees at one location. So it doesn't apply to me and many others as I work in a smaller office with 40 or so ppl. Luckily my employer is great and we have short term disability for 8 wks and willing to do work from home for a few months. I just wanted to put it out there that FMLA doesn't apply to everyone and you should have the conversation with your employer so they may be more willing to work with you on a plan. 🙂
I'm newly pregnant, in my 5th week. It will be our very first child. We got pregnant through IUI. It feels like a miracle for both of us. I was diagnosed with PCOS at 22 and never came close to conceiving in the past. Also, my fiance was unable to get his ex wife pregnant after 10+ years of marriage. I came to you channel to get ALL of the advice.
You could not be more lucky. 'Mums Independent' on Facebook has a number of entries, and if you view and read them all, you will feel empowered. Any questions, please leave a comment.
Thank you, this was so helpful! I am 35 weeks with my first baby boy. I feel like every time I think I have everything prepared, I remember one more thing that I don't have yet.
I've had 3 children and currently pregnant with my 4th. One thing I would always consider a must have is a Bumbo seat. It has been a life saver for me.
This was informative, even though we are not governed by the same acts, laws etc as I'm from🇿🇦. left with 4 weeks this is my 2nd pregnancy and boy am I not exhausted 😭 I really can't wait!
'Mums Independent' on Facebook have informative entries on how to shorten birth and avoid tearing, and fun poems and 'Custard making made fun for children' promoting Shakespeare. Please share.
I’m 14 weeks along. This is my second baby, third pregnancy. My first child is almost 7, so I definitely need a refresher on all of it! My second pregnancy ended in a loss at almost 12 weeks, so now I’m ready to start getting ready for baby, since I’m more comfortable now that we are in a safer zone (second trimester).
Wow, my story is so similar, waiting for my second baby, my first is almost 7, my second pregnancy miscarriage at 12 weeks!! Just I'm now at week 25.. wishing you a full-term healthy baby!!
Well done on reaching so far. May I ask, do you know how to totally avoid episiotomy? Do you have access to Aniball in your country? No damage to mum in birth, means antibiotic continue to work longer into the future. My TH-cam videos and 'Mums Independent' on Facebook go into more detail. Thank you for keeping an open mind, viewing, reading, researching and your reply.
I'm new to your channel and loving what I see so far! I'm 30 and 16 weeks pregnant with my first over in Seoul, South Korea.There's so much that I'm still figuring out and a ton of things that are more difficult with having a baby internationally. I'm so lucky to have a great support network here!
Thank you. Recently surprised to learn I was nearly 13 weeks with first (yeah, I really wasn't paying attention, having assumed after many years that I was infertile) and whilst excited, hubby and I both feel clueless and unprepared. Your vids make things seem much more manageable and unintimidating.
8 weeks pregnant with our first baby. I like to be prepared. But I also live in Germany, so I can choose a hospital and pediatrician freely, just hope the one closest still takes patients and my maternity leave is paid for up to the third birthday. Still loved the tips that applied!
28 weeks pregnant with my first. Your weekly pregnancy videos have been great and this is useful too - got to go and put all these things on my amazon wishlist now!
17 weeks with my 2nd child. It's been 11 years, so I'm here for a refresher. So much has changed and I'm a little rusty. I also feel like I will be more a minimalist this time around.
There are birth facilitating devices not available in hospitals or o the NHS. Please view my TH-cam channel videos, or 'Mums Independent'. Wikipedia English 'Perineal Massage' the poetic medical term, as it is not literally a massage; - 'painless' being the in word, and click on the Peruvian brass casting figure, for further explanation.
28 y/o argentinian watching from China ❤ waiting for my first baby, tomorrow i'll be 19 weeks. Even though i'm nervous and scared, i'm so excited to become a mom and meet my baby! ❤
37+3 baby No.4 feeling completely unorganised and collecting colostrum while the others sleep. I have everything you mentioned organised and now feel much better, thank you!
38 weeks with a girl so far weighing 6 pounds her due date is 2/5/22 🥰 dilated to 1cm and cervix moved to anterior position and is 50% effaced just waiting for my sweet angel to make her entrance
20 weeks with my first. I'm so glad we don't have to worry about insurance or bills with all of this in NZ, I can't imagine the stress of needing to find hospitals and providers that are insurance approved
Don’t worry! Lol with my first baby witch was a boy we didn’t buy anything until after my baby shower. We had my baby shower when I was 7 months close the 8 months. I’m currently 31 weeks and 1 day with our second baby (girl) we just started getting stuff and I’ll be 8 months next week😂. We’ve mostly just got the house cleaned and organized and made room for things before we got the things we need.
Thank you Diana! Great video! I recognise a lot of what you say. Our first little boy was born 10 months ago and we are planning when he is 1 year old to try for a second little one. I wish I was a little more prepared emotionally, but when all the practical things are prepared, it definitely helps!
Had you used Aniball or the traditional method mentioned on 'Mums Independent' on Facebook - 'Birth Canal Widening' to 10cm with finger tips, to shorten birth and avoid tearing?
I'm from the UK. I am currently 23 weeks pregnant, I'm having a boy. After 9 years of trying I am over the moon to be having my miracle. I have watched all your videos on week by week pregnancy, thank you
I am 35 weeks with my first baby. a mix between tired and energetic lol organizing the baby’s room has been my safe haven I’ve been following your videos since the moment I found out I was pregnant
My wife is 34 weeks and 1 day pregnant. I was diagnosed with testicular cancer causing infertility issues. We went through three rounds of IVF and received 2 embryos. This was our last embryo and our last chance at having a bilogical baby of our own. It worked and here we are. We are so blessed and your videos I watch every week on Friday! Thank you for all the information you provide.

Oh thanks for sharing! I'm newly pregnant with my 6th, four years since my last pregnancy/miscarriage. 14 years since my last live birth. I'm 42! People say the weirdest things when they find out I'm expecting. It's hard to know how to respond.
I’m 40 and pregnant with my 3rd. Our son will be 20 this year and our daughter will be 15. It’s nice to know that there are other mom’s out there in similar situations. I hope you all have beautiful healthy babies!
I'm so glad I saw these comments! I'm also 42 and 34 weeks pregnant with my 5th child. However it's been 14 years since my last one, I'm finding myself scared out of my wits. A lot of people say oh wow you're just starting all over again. Honestly I'm a little tired of that comment. Lol. But I'm still a little scared, so it's good to know I'm not alone. 😊
@@heatherkee5738 All the very best. You ll going to enjoy wach and every momebt with your coming baby like i am doing with my 3 months baby boy. All the very best ❤✌
@@leekflower1 How wonderful , all the very best 😊✌and ignore wierd people !
Currently 29 weeks, having my first child. A baby boy 😩🥰 so nervous, scared, happy lol I’m feeling every emotion right now
So far, so good. I hope that after viewing my TH-cam channel birth videos, with the knowledge gained, you'll feel empowered, and your fear will be much reduced. 'Mums Independent' are on Facebook. The floor to the lower tummy can be transformed prior to birth, to be able to act as a trapdoor, so shortening birth, avoiding tearing and episiotomy. The very good news... Please research further, or contact me.
I’m 39 weeks with my second baby girl. Nesting and hospital bag are all ready for me to go to hospital anytime. Thank you for making the informative videos.
I'm 33 weeks along with my first child, and it's a boy! 💙 I think we got almost everything we need, I think.. But I'm still stressing over everything to make sure we have everything we need for this little guy. Been trying to watch as many videos of other mommas to see what they suggest, so I can get more ideas.
I’m 30 weeks with a boy ❤️
35 weeks with a boy too! Due in March 😊
Don’t worry too much momma! You’ll do just fine. Baby needs the basics and all the love he can get . You’ll realize what you truly need as time passes I promise there is always one more thing that can be purchased but at the end of the day you’ll realize most of these things are nice-to-haves not must-haves . Good luck 🍀 wishing you and baby boy the safest delivery ever !
May I ask, had you stared to use the traditional method of shortening birth for baby, and avoiding tearing and episiotomy for mum, painless, gradual 'Birth Canal Widening' to 10cm diameter achieved prior to the start of birth (Wikipedia English 'Perineal Massage') or Aniball device? 'Mums Independent' on Facebook and my four 'Birth explained...' videos on my TH-cam channel (with fun poems for kids and 'Custard making made fun for children' which promotes Shakespeare) go into more detail. Thank you: for your reply, for sharing and helping to keep antibiotics working in to the future.
I lived in the state for 15 years and now I live alone here in Germany. My husband is in another country in the military and I’m basically going through my pregnancy all alone, I am 24 months pragnant and started watching your videos since Yesterday 😊 I am so glad that I have find you. This video was VERY helpful ❤ your explanations are very good, clear and just awesome😊 thanks for your videos❤️ we will have a baby boy👶

This time around I am looking to get things done fast and easy for the sake of my baby. I appreciate all your advice and im praying for just a healthy baby 🍼 ❤.

Currently 22 weeks with our first baby! It’s been rough to say the least 😮💨 But he’s worth it all! I can’t wait to meet our little man 🥰💙
6 weeks with mine :) I’m having such a hard time with patience !
Today I’ve been told I’m showing at 34-35 weeks along instead of the 32-33 weeks I had been measured at. The doc told me I can expect baby to pop by the end of this month at the soonest and I’m both nervous and excited! Thanks for this, it came at a valuable time!
What week did you end up delivering?… I’m at 32 weeks measuring at 33 weeks.
I’m pregnant with our rainbow baby. We lost her Christmas morning 2022 and she’s due Easter 2024. Thank you God for bringing her back to us 🙏💕👶
im 19 weeks with my first child, its a girl
I'm 31 weeks expecting my first baby, a little girl 🎀🧸. I've been getting the essentials for her and for postpartum care for me. It can be overwhelming so ladies it helps to at least give yourself a head start do not wait until last minute. Wishing you all a healthy pregnancy and safe delivery 💕💞
I'm 32 weeks pregnant tomorrow, pregnancy #3 with my first 💙 boy. Two daughter's already ages 15 & 7. I'm 39 years old and starting over again. I can't wait to meet my baby boy. We've been wanting a son since forever.
Well done! 'Mums Independent' on Facebook have informative entries on how to shorten birth and avoid tearing, and fun poems and more. Please share.
Just found out I’m pregnant I’m about a month pregnant or so I’m just so excited and grateful that god gave me this chance to have a little blessing in my tummy 🥺❤ I’m just so emotion and all over the place even songs get me really emotional lol I’m so happy I can’t wait to meet my little angel god bless you other mommies or want to be mommies. Life is beautiful and we have the chance to create it.
I just started watching the channel. It helps me so much. I am currently 6 1/2 months. This is my 1st pregnancy. The videos are really helpful to me. I’m having a baby boy
I’m 20 weeks along with my first. Just found out we are having a baby boy at the anatomy scan ❤️ haven’t gotten anything yet but want to wait a little bit to start shopping it’s overwhelming 😅
Congrats! Team blue 💙
SAME EXACT BOAT
Congrats!!!
I just found out that I’m having a boy too! I am 15 weeks. As soon as we found out, went and bought a few cute outfits!🤣
Same i finnally got a crib and one set of sheets
Been watching since I found out I was pregnant, and am now 35 weeks. I felt really good when I realized I already have most of the stuff you mentioned!
Baby carrier!!!! It’s like my favorite thing when they are little. Makes it easy to get them to sleep, get things done and be out and about with toddlers who need me to be able to use my hands!
I am pregnant with second baby. My son is 5 years old and I remember looking video like this when I was pregnant with my son. And what people usually say: you don't need it, I barely use it, in my case I used it the most. So it is very individual. Every mom is different, every kid is different.
21 weeks with my baby girl💕💕💕 you’ve helped me so much since I’ve found out I am pregnant. I wish I could have a doctor as sweet and informative as you🥺 I think this is the perfect profession for you, you do it so well!
Had you heard of Aniball or 'Mums Independent' on Facebook or of my TH-cam channel birth videos?
Hello, I'm 21 weeks pregnant with baby #4. Located in Phoenix, AZ. I've been watching all your videos since I found out I was pregnant. It has been very useful and even with this being my 4th pregnancy, I learn something new every time that I didn't know with my previous pregnancies. So thank you for making these videos and helping us be better prepared for our bundle of joy.
9 weeks pregnant, first pregnancy. I am enjoying the week by week pregnancy updates on your channel. I am hoping and praying for a healthy pregnancy, easy delivery and healthy baby
I’m 14 weeks 6 days! First MIRACLE baby!! Thank you this is so helpful.
Those that hope to get pregnant one day. Please don’t lose hope! It will happen to you. Blessings
Watching from California. I’m 35 weeks & 3 days pregnant with our rainbow 🌈 baby boy after 12 years of TTC 💙 thank you for your video. Very helpful.
I'm from Australia and I'm 8 weeks pregnant with my first. We had the first ultrasound today so it is starting to feel WAY more real! Looking at all content to try and prep for the baby!
I am 14.2 weeks pregnant , first time mom! So excited and praying for a healthy and smooth delivery
Am from Uganda, pregnant with my third 24 weeks and started watching you since week 5.Your videos have prevented me from rushing to hospital frequently because I know what to expect at any stage.Thank you.
I am 22 weeks pregnant with a baby boy! Thank you so much for your helpful content 🤍 I've been watching these videos since before I became pregnant.
Is Aniball, or the traditional method of avoiding episiotomy and tearing and shortening birth for baby something you know about? 'Mums Independent' on Facebook. My TH-cam channel has four birth videos.
I've been binge watching all of your videos and anything pregnancy related. My husband and I are starting to try to conceive next month and i am so excited for this phase of life and really have been focusing on my pre conception nutrition 😁
39 weeks - and I. Just had my baby by c section as she was breech^^ this channel helped me from the week 5 till the end. I really enjoy all videos. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the time you put in making these video, all the information and simple details which are so important.
I am 30 weeks pregnant first time mom and excited to welcome our cute little baby in to this world all we want healthy baby and me … ❤ your content is so informative and helpful ❤
22 weeks first baby!! I'm from Canada so some of these don't apply for me. I really love baby list registry because you can add items from ANY store! In Canada as well we get 12-18 months paid maternity leave.
Can you get Aniball in Canada? Is the traditional method of totally avoiding episiotomy well known (Wikipedia English 'Perineal Massage' ) with the importance of 10cm clearly understood? Dr Zenko BILAS TH-cam videos, 'Birth explained for children' and more. Thank you for your reply.
Meanwhile in the USA I’m trying to get tanf which is basically just cash assistance from the state, 7 months pregnant and they won’t approve me getting a measly $250/month unless I work 30 hrs a week. The first three months of work won’t affect the benefits bc then if I make “too much money” they take away snap (food assistance) and the tanf. 🤯 make it make sense
35 weeks today with my first baby! Definitely needed this video as I’ve been stressing about what should be done by now before the baby gets here. Thank you Diana 💗💗💗
First time parents! 5 weeks pregnant! These video are so helpful and I love getting advice from a fellow mother! Definitely helps with deciding what I do and don’t need
I’m 5wks+4 !!! I’m so excited I can barely contain it lol. Congrats mama 🎉
36 weeks this Saturday with my Rainbow Baby. FTM mom carrying a baby girl 😭 I love her so much already and I’m so scared I just want the best for her. Thank you Mrs Diana for all the help, advice, and love. You have helped my stress a whole lot since discovering your channel around 20 weeks. 💓
I’m 26 weeks 6 days with my first baby! ☺️ I love these kinds of videos!
Are you aware of Aniball, or 'Mums Independent' on Facebook? Thank your for your reply. Our NHS in UK is struggling financially, so Aniball is not on the NHS.
Im 28 weeks along, (first baby second pregnancy) and this video helped soooo much ! Thank you Diana. I’ve been watching you since i found out I was pregnant at 5 weeks 🤞🏼
Congratulations , will be 28 weeks Wednesday 26 January .
Is Aniball available in your country? 'Mums Independent' are on Facebook and my TH-cam four birth videos can be found, if you expand the list by clicking on 'videos' to the right of 'list' above the thumbnail screens. Thankyou for your reply.
@@lichekasweetie8601 Are you researching your choices, like Aniball? 'Mums Independent' on Facebook. Good luck.
So I found on on August 21st, 2023 that I have a baby boy due on September 28th, 2023!! Long story short, was told I couldn’t have children due to PCOS, was on birth control. I didn’t recognize symptoms because I don’t have a gallbladder.. I thought I was just having stomach problems oh my! This baby is definitely a miracle and something I didn’t know I wanted so badly, but not much time to prepare. Luckily I have a great support system! I’ve enjoyed watching your videos!
I love this!! This really helps me to get ready for my first time! I’m 15 weeks and super nervous about what do. Thanks to your video I can get a list down for reference.
I had my baby girl at 37 weeks by c- section. I watched your videos all the way from 4 weeks. Very informative and entertaining to say the least. Thanks Diana 🌼
Dear congs to u and ur family u mean ur baby at 37 was very okay
I’m 21 weeks and this is my first baby! We just found out I’m having a baby girl! We are also in the process of buying our first home! So time to get on all the things!!
Hi I am also 21 weeks with twins …. Following ivf :)
I wanted a daughter and my wife had a baby girl. Dreams do come true. Had you heard of 'Mums Independent' on Facebook, full of information? Please reply, if you have any problems seeing the Facebook page, as I have birth videos on my TH-cam channel also. Hope you will be empowered.
Hi, I’m Pregnant with my second child. This time it’s a girl I’m super excited. I got my ass kicked by postpartum depression the first time. This time I’m trying to educate myself as much as I can to have a beautiful positive postpartum period. Thank you. I’m enjoying the information you shared very much and finding it extremely useful. Both of my babies are planned and talked about for years.
I am 30 weeks pregnant currently with my first baby and have been watching your videos since week 5! Thank you for all the great and helpful information! I am always excited for the next videos! 😊
Watched a few of these videos and always find them so informative. 28 weeks pregnant with first baby. Little baby boy due in April. 💙
I’m 27 weeks with a baby girl! Congratulations 💙
29weeks today with my first! Baby due in April too.
same here! 28 weeks and baby due in April! :)

Congrats team blue
26 weeks with my first baby and it’s a boy 👶🏻 baby dust to everyone who is trying to conceive 👏🏻
Hi Diana! I’m loving your videos. I’m 14 weeks, first pregnancy, with a baby girl. I’m 37 years old, and a nurse, but I feel so unprepared! Your videos are teaching me so much and putting my busy mind at ease. Thank you! ❤
First pregnancy, far from my family and really stressed and praying everyday and every time for a healthy baby🙏🏽 I’m 10 weeks pregnant
Hi there from the US and currently 24 wks - love you videos as a first time mom to be! Just wanted to mention my experience with maternity leave. The FMLA is only applicable to larger companies with 50+ employees at one location. So it doesn't apply to me and many others as I work in a smaller office with 40 or so ppl. Luckily my employer is great and we have short term disability for 8 wks and willing to do work from home for a few months.
I just wanted to put it out there that FMLA doesn't apply to everyone and you should have the conversation with your employer so they may be more willing to work with you on a plan. 🙂
I'm newly pregnant, in my 5th week. It will be our very first child. We got pregnant through IUI. It feels like a miracle for both of us. I was diagnosed with PCOS at 22 and never came close to conceiving in the past. Also, my fiance was unable to get his ex wife pregnant after 10+ years of marriage. I came to you channel to get ALL of the advice.
You could not be more lucky. 'Mums Independent' on Facebook has a number of entries, and if you view and read them all, you will feel empowered. Any questions, please leave a comment.
Thank you, this was so helpful! I am 35 weeks with my first baby boy. I feel like every time I think I have everything prepared, I remember one more thing that I don't have yet.
I'm glad I found you before getting pregnant. I'm now 7weeks. Love your tips 🙏
I am 30 weeks and 2 days with my first baby boy! So excited to have found this video. Thank you 😊
Is Aniball or 'Mums Independent' on Facebook something you know about? Thank you for your reply.
I've had 3 children and currently pregnant with my 4th. One thing I would always consider a must have is a Bumbo seat. It has been a life saver for me.
I’m 32 weeks pregnant with my first child! All your videos are so informative and helpful, thank you so much! 💕
Watching from the Philippines Im currently 25 weeks with my first baby. Your videos give me soo much comfort
This was informative, even though we are not governed by the same acts, laws etc as I'm from🇿🇦. left with 4 weeks this is my 2nd pregnancy and boy am I not exhausted 😭 I really can't wait!
'Mums Independent' on Facebook have informative entries on how to shorten birth and avoid tearing, and fun poems and 'Custard making made fun for children' promoting Shakespeare. Please share.
I’m 14 weeks along. This is my second baby, third pregnancy. My first child is almost 7, so I definitely need a refresher on all of it! My second pregnancy ended in a loss at almost 12 weeks, so now I’m ready to start getting ready for baby, since I’m more comfortable now that we are in a safer zone (second trimester).
Wow, my story is so similar, waiting for my second baby, my first is almost 7, my second pregnancy miscarriage at 12 weeks!! Just I'm now at week 25.. wishing you a full-term healthy baby!!
Congratulations 🎊
I’m 14 weeks as well! Congratulations!!!! 🎊
Well done on reaching so far. May I ask, do you know how to totally avoid episiotomy? Do you have access to Aniball in your country? No damage to mum in birth, means antibiotic continue to work longer into the future. My TH-cam videos and 'Mums Independent' on Facebook go into more detail. Thank you for keeping an open mind, viewing, reading, researching and your reply.
I'm new to your channel and loving what I see so far! I'm 30 and 16 weeks pregnant with my first over in Seoul, South Korea.There's so much that I'm still figuring out and a ton of things that are more difficult with having a baby internationally. I'm so lucky to have a great support network here!
25 weeks pregnant today and I feel very confident in the baby thing we have. I’ll start getting the nursery ready when I’m officially 7 months
I’m 34 weeks pregnant, I have got a lot of things- but a list is always good to have.
Hopefully congratulations! 'Mums Independent' on Facebook and my TH-cam channel videos you will find helpful. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. Recently surprised to learn I was nearly 13 weeks with first (yeah, I really wasn't paying attention, having assumed after many years that I was infertile) and whilst excited, hubby and I both feel clueless and unprepared. Your vids make things seem much more manageable and unintimidating.
Congratulations to the both of you😃👶
8 weeks pregnant with our first baby. I like to be prepared. But I also live in Germany, so I can choose a hospital and pediatrician freely, just hope the one closest still takes patients and my maternity leave is paid for up to the third birthday.
Still loved the tips that applied!
28 weeks pregnant with my first. Your weekly pregnancy videos have been great and this is useful too - got to go and put all these things on my amazon wishlist now!
I am 22 weeks along in my first pregnancy :) I love helpful lists like these, thank you!
Are you aware of Aniball birth aid or 'Mums Independent' on Facebook, or my TH-cam channel videos? Not everything is free on the NHS, funding crisis.
23 weeks today with my first! A baby girl! I watch your week by week pregnancy videos
Is Aniball, or 'Mums Independent' on Facebook, something you are aware of ? i.e. Episiotomy and tearing is avoidable in birth.
17 weeks with my 2nd child. It's been 11 years, so I'm here for a refresher. So much has changed and I'm a little rusty. I also feel like I will be more a minimalist this time around.
'Mums Independent' on Facebook have informative entries.
Currently 5months pregnant! First time mom so hopefully learn things I must prepare before the big day!
It makes me so sad knowing that the USA don't pay as a standard for maternity leave
It’s like they don’t want their citizens to be having babies while simultaneously banning abortions and taking away basic medical care for women.
I’m currently 26 weeks with my first baby. Your videos are so helpful 💕
There are birth facilitating devices not available in hospitals or o the NHS. Please view my TH-cam channel videos, or 'Mums Independent'. Wikipedia English 'Perineal Massage' the poetic medical term, as it is not literally a massage; - 'painless' being the in word, and click on the Peruvian brass casting figure, for further explanation.
28 y/o argentinian watching from China ❤ waiting for my first baby, tomorrow i'll be 19 weeks. Even though i'm nervous and scared, i'm so excited to become a mom and meet my baby! ❤
37+3 baby No.4 feeling completely unorganised and collecting colostrum while the others sleep. I have everything you mentioned organised and now feel much better, thank you!
Not pregnant yet but 1 week away from my first FET with a adopted embryo! Will definitely be saving this video, very helpful!
I'm currently pregnant after a FET, wishing you the best ✨
God bless you and blessings towards becoming a mama!
38 weeks with a girl so far weighing 6 pounds her due date is 2/5/22 🥰 dilated to 1cm and cervix moved to anterior position and is 50% effaced just waiting for my sweet angel to make her entrance
@@SHYTTALKERGLO congratulations to you as well 🥰🎊 wishing you a safe and healthy delivery
18wks with my first! Almost halfway there, so good to know what needs to be done/bring/have!
20 weeks with my first. I'm so glad we don't have to worry about insurance or bills with all of this in NZ, I can't imagine the stress of needing to find hospitals and providers that are insurance approved
Actively trying to concieve our 1st baby ❤️ was on the depo shot, first normal cycle this month. Hoping for a baby this year 😍
Don’t worry! Lol with my first baby witch was a boy we didn’t buy anything until after my baby shower. We had my baby shower when I was 7 months close the 8 months.
I’m currently 31 weeks and 1 day with our second baby (girl) we just started getting stuff and I’ll be 8 months next week😂. We’ve mostly just got the house cleaned and organized and made room for things before we got the things we need.
I recommend you to use multivitamins and folate they helped me to get pregnant by a lot !!
Thank you Diana! Great video! I recognise a lot of what you say. Our first little boy was born 10 months ago and we are planning when he is 1 year old to try for a second little one. I wish I was a little more prepared emotionally, but when all the practical things are prepared, it definitely helps!
Had you used Aniball or the traditional method mentioned on 'Mums Independent' on Facebook - 'Birth Canal Widening' to 10cm with finger tips, to shorten birth and avoid tearing?
Im 3 weeks and 5 days pregnant and excited!
I'm from the UK. I am currently 23 weeks pregnant, I'm having a boy. After 9 years of trying I am over the moon to be having my miracle. I have watched all your videos on week by week pregnancy, thank you
30 weeks today ! It's my first. I watch your videos every Wednesday when a new week starts lol. Thanks for this list of suggestions.
Congratulations 🎊 will be 30 weeks on Saturday
@@Yvonnesther congratulations ! Wish you a safe and easy delivery.
Thanks for the tips! Just tuning in, currently at 39 + 5, we're due in 2 days
Awww congratulations… I hope all goes well x
I am 35 weeks with my first baby. a mix between tired and energetic lol organizing the baby’s room has been my safe haven
I’ve been following your videos since the moment I found out I was pregnant
Almost 26 weeks pregnant! In Canada :) Been watching you since week 5!
