i can't believe the person who i related to in 2019 and helped me thru my depression is going to be a mom 🥹 you've grown so much as a person and i know you're going to be an amazing mother 🤎🤎
When I was in labor I said “do I have to push her out? I can’t do it” And the nurse laughed and said girl she’s gotta come out she wants to meet you. And that really helped.
What helped me was remembering the baby was either going to get cut out of me or I was going to push her out. Either way she was coming out and it helped me bolster my strength.
I begged for a c-section my first baby boy. I had been in labor for 2 1/2 going on 3 days (induced labor) and I wanted him out so bad. My second was much easier, I got the epidural earlier and didn’t want a C-section but had to have one because he wasn’t tolerating the pitocin (even though I was at a 7)
I pushed like 4 times then looked at my boyfriend and said “I can’t do this” only to learn the baby was out so I guess I did it 🤣 however my boyfriend thought I meant I couldn’t be a mom…. There was a lot of confusion going on
Pregnant women and mothers should be treated as GODDESSES for creating life, not as incubators. It is so infuriating. Almost makes me not want to have kids
I love that this channel is about sams life. Like I like that she doesn’t show her relationship and isn’t going to show her child because Im here for her. Im excited for her pregnancy era vids and mom era vids but Im happy that her kid wont actually be the center of videos. Im a woman and it’s refreshing to see a mother still be themselves like Sam is still Sam.
You got this, Sam! I had my baby almost a year ago. When I tell you I was terrified. I was terrified about labor and delivery and how my life would change. In my mind, I haven’t mentally aged myself since I was like 18, yet here I am, 28 years old. Even though I’m closer to 30 than 20, a part of me mourned my own childhood when I found out. But you actually get your childhood back in a different way. And your body totally adjusts and knows what to do - I love sleep and thought I would have way more trouble waking up but your body makes it possible. Everything will work out! You got this!
I relate to this heavily!! Also, I had a very horrible childhood. I never really got to be a kid, to be honest. So once I had my son, I got to play with toys, use my imagination, run around on playsets with him, go to trampoline parks, be amazed at museums …. It’s been lovely. I sat on the floor in his room with him and just cried knowing that I got my childhood back at 28 years old lol!
Yes!! I was so so worried about not living my life but living my life through my son? It’s been such a gift that I never knew I needed for my inner child to heal. We spent an hour in toys r us yesterday just playing with the dump trucks together and then we picked out his 1st birthday present it was awesome 😊 I can’t wait for Sam to enjoy and live through mother hood ❤
These are literally my thoughts! And why im so scared of pregnancy and having kids. I go back and forth so much and ill be 30 next month so anxiety is up there 😅
Sam the fact that you are so scared is already showing how good of a mum you're going to be you care so much about the baby already. So excited for you and your family on this new journey you're going to do incredible
I found out I was pregnant in February and I was terrified. It was also implied to me by doctors that I would have issues getting pregnant as well as I had gone 4 years without any form of birth control or being careful and hadn’t gotten pregnant, which reinforced the idea of infertility by a lot. Anyways, I had no idea what to do when I found out but now I am 32 weeks today and so so so excited to meet my little girl soon. 🌷If you had told me one year ago that I would be where I am right now I would have never believed you! One day you’re young and dumb and the next you’re excited about “nest with me” videos. You got this, Sam!
girl I had such a similar experience with infertility and then getting a surprise baby in february ❤ due oct 9th!!!!!! our angels are coming for us soon
you have to mourn your past lives in order to make room for new phases. thank you for being so honest about your journey sam. i hope you know you have so many people who have watched you for years that are cheering you on & in your corner. this is such a difficult & scary new phase of life but it will be so worth it and beautiful. sending love & hugs💖💖
I was infertile for 8 years and my partner and I never did anything to prevent a pregnancy. Last year I found out I was 3 months pregnant and I was so scared and happy and grateful. My boyfriend had an 8 month old babygirl when him and I got together so I've been raising her like my own since. I love the age difference between my babies. My little girl is going to be 10 years old in a few months and my little boy is turning 1 in October and watching the love between the two makes my heart so full ❤ and every milestone that my babyboy hits is so much more special because I never thought in a million years I'd be lucky enough to experience this. You're going to be a wonderful momma sam 😊
Sam I literally started crying at the end of the video when you said that our comments about how wonderful of a mom you are going to be have made you cry. You are truly gorgeous and you have helped so many of us. You're kind, sensitive, aware, mature, your journey is a real inspiration. I love you sweetie ❤
A cute baby nickname or first letter to keep the baby's legal name private sounds like such a good idea. You are going to be such an amazing mother, you are so thoughtful and mindful of everything and it has been heart warming to watch you grow. I found you in my weight loss journey and I am really happy for you as you start this new journey
i got pregnant with my son when i was 18 and i didn’t even want to keep myself alive. i didn’t know how i was going to keep another human being alive and i was terrified. as hard as motherhood is it is the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me. i have a reason to get out of bed everyday and live. seeing the world through a child’s eyes really changed my perspective. i just watched my son take his first steps, i get to see his face light up wherever he sees a dump truck drive by because he’s obsessed with them for some reason, and listen to him sing in baby language i can’t understand when we listen to music in the car. you will be a wonderful mom, just take it one day at time. congratulations 🎉
sam the way you cared for your cat with kidney issues FOR YEARS!! you will be so so great and caring as a mother. i have no doubt you will bring so much love, joy and safety to that child's life. youve grown into a whole woman over these last few years, and it truly truly seems like youre more than ready whether you see that or not.
Right??? Thats a lot of work and attention. Personally i dont think i could keep a pet alive if it werent for my mom taking care of it even when it was in perfect health and young as well as when they got old. Which is why im more hesitant about children. Also bc my anxiety social anxiety and depression and ocd tendencies regarding lists and contamination is apparently extremely treatment resistant bc i get horrid side effects with every single medication and the only one that worked slightly i cant increase the dose bc my blood pressure is too low. Ah i forgot to make my point but its like kind of genetic also i cant people.
I’ve been silent watcher for 5+ years, and first let me just say; I AM SOOO HAPPY FOR YOU SAMANTHA!! Being a mother is so rewarding and one of the most amazing and emotional experiences that makes life… well LIFE! Sending you all the love and hugs from Nebraska!!❤️🤍
I always say if you’re worried whether or not you’re a good parent- that makes you a good parent. Trying is all we can do. No one is perfect. ❤You’re going to be okay. You’re so much stronger than you may sometimes believe.
i really do appreciate seeing a different side to upcoming motherhood, its nice to see that its okay to be scared for this huge change for someone’s life and being transparent is a breath of fresh
not me crying every time you cry GIRL!😭 you got this and don't forget there's no blueprint of how to be a good mom! Every new mom is a NEW MOM, ergo... learning as they go! Doubts, regrets, confusion, feelings, etc... they are inevitable in this journey and totally valid! 🥰 Thank you for always sharing every version of you here with us, sending so much love and a huge hug!🤗💝
You’re going to be such an amazing Mom. The way you’re so aware of yourself and how you have grown and need to grow is so amazing. I know this is scary and unexpected but I promise everything will fall into place
When I got pregnant I started following people who had a similar due date to me and it was so validating because I knew I wasn’t the only one going through it. It helps so much, even in the newborn days when your up all night, it’s nice to know that there’s a mom out there who is also up with their baby so your never truly alone 🥹🖤
Sam every single one you post about pregnancy I’m going to say CONGRATULATIONS IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS CHAPTER, here are some things I wished one would’ve told me, when you are very pregnant you will be fluctuating hormones so fast, emotions are okay, and when you have the baby, girl the amount of emotions and hormones you gain back, a whirlwind!
I love how this video was all about her pregnancy, you can tell she’s so excited. we hope nothing but a healthy pregnancy journey and we will be here with you every second of it momma. We love you 🥰 guys
I basically cried this whole Vlog🥲, I love you as a content creator❤️I’m so incredibly happy that you’re having a baby. I also didn’t think I could have kids but in 2021, I got blessed with my daughter 😄 and then I just gave birth to my son in February 2024. I pray you have a safe Healthy pregnancy and look forward to watching all of your future content. You’re the best🫶🏽
I can’t believe I’ve gone through your channel as a highschool dropout, to my first kid, watching you grow and now having your own kid. You have made my 20s so much easier with how much I can relate to you through eating struggles and mental health struggles. I can’t believe we’re doing this life in our 20s, I can’t wait to see us grow even more Sam you are so awesome.
Can I just say your honesty about your fears etc is such a breath of fresh air. I love how authentic you are and I think everyone feels nervous and fears being a good parent. The fact that that does scare, you means you were going to be such a great mom . I am so excited for you.
It seems like you're making choices from a very balanced and mature place. You dont need to be perfect, you just have to have humility and try your best. This is what being a good mum is! Your baby is such a gift. You got this Samantha🥰
Congratulations I’m so happy for you and Jaryl. If it’s a girl I would be watching tutorials on how to do her hair now. Learning to do a baby hair with a different texture than your own is a journey
I've been following you since you first started, I may be busy with life and don't watch religiously anymore but I do when I can and I'm so happy for you!! I'm a toddler mama now so I don't watch TH-cam often! So happy for you !!!❤
Hi! His name is Gerald. He’s the dark, tall, handsome, strong, and silent type ❤ She still has some videos up with him. You can watch one from when they went to Disney five months ago, and also from two years ago before their break up. (they took a little time apart because of a job opportunity I think). One video is carving pumpkins, and another one is “answering juicy questions with my boyfriend.”
Currently 36 weeks pregnant with my second kiddo, and ready to be DONE! I remember the first trimester like it was yesterday. Congrats and enjoy everything 🎉
Congratulations! I was also told I couldn’t conceive naturally and the day I went in for bloodwork to start IVF I found out I was pregnant. I also ended up losing 40lbs during pregnancy because I couldn’t keep much down. You got this girl and congrats again on this wonderful gift.
sam!! I have never heard someone whose brain works so similarly to mine. It is so comforting to know another person (and someone I admire at that) also struggles with confidence, going into places alone, binging, anxiety, etc etc. the way you explain things makes so much sense to me and its the most refreshing thing. you will be such a good mom and gives me faith that someone w a brain like me can be a badass, unconditionally loving mother. thank you so so much
I gave birth to my daughter in March. I was terrified but so grateful to have her after a miscarriage in 2022. You will be a wonderful mom and your body can do amazing things!!
Ive supported you since 2019 and i love to see you grow and go through so many chapters of your life, having a baby is so excited and i'm so happy for you!! you're going to be an amazing mother 💗
Im currently juuuust hitting my third trimester and when I tell you seeing that Samantha too will be a momma made me slightly emotional. the human who helped me throughout all my hardships and seeing this new chapter makes me so happy dude
I know it’s so early, and there is so much to focus on with just being pregnant, but the number 1 thing I wish someone would have shared with me was “taking cara babies” if you Google it, it has example sleep/feeding schedules and general ideas for how long babies are comfortable being awake for their age. Sleep and understanding what baby needed when were the biggest hurdles for me ❤ I know it wasn’t planned, but you are 100% going to rise to the challenge and excel as a mom-you’ve got this!!
"our brains can be so mean to us and convince us that we are people that we're not" wow Sam, I needed that reminder today... your growth mindset and positive outlook always inspire me 💕 its not easy work, it's a choice we make every day. much love from a fellow Tampa girly
I just had a baby in September 2023, your right, being a mom is hard. But it’s the BEST thing ever. Always trust your own intuition, embrace every moment and remember you know YOUR baby best. You’re gonna be a great mommy, congrats :)
This is SO the Universe at work Sam. You were elevating in life so much, I think God is giving you a little nudge forward. These months pregnant are teaching you how to care for yourself on the level of taking care of another. And now this baby is going to be so SO well loved.
Also im so selfishly sad that we wont get to experience typical family vlogs with you guyssss but i completely 2500% understand exactly why lol yay im excited for you guys
Been watching since 2019 seen you go through all the changes but this is the biggest one yet !! You’re such an inspiration and I know you’re going to be an amazing mom !! U will be amazing and raise a wonderful baby 🤍 I’m glad to see you and your little family grow !! Sending you all my love and prayers 🤍🤍🤍
I’ve followed you for a long time and to say how happy I am for you wouldn’t do it justice! Congratulations on your pregnancy and the beautiful journey you’re going to experience thus far!
Pregnancy hormones are no joke! I remember bursting into tears because my husband ate the strawberry that I wanted (I had just decided it in my head and didn’t tell him I wanted that specific one). 😂
i cried with you girl, youre going to be such a great mom! thank you for being so genuine and showing all your emotions on camera, its nice to see that vulnerability
PLEASE STOP BELITTLING YOURSELF ☹️ you’re so strong and brave for pushing yourself out of your comfort zone even if it is just ordering food in person!!! you’re such a unique and beautiful person and you need to realize that you’re HUMAN and have difficulties in certain areas of life even if it feels embarrassing. guess what? so many people who are watching this video relate to you, you’re not alone nor should you be embarrassed for the way you react to certain things.
I just want you to know that you have gotten me through so many rough times. You have given me hope that my goals and dreams are so much more attainable. Goals that once felt so impossible to me. I deal with anxiety/depression and some days it is hard to just get out of bed. But watching your videos helped me learn that even baby steps are steps in the right direction. ❤
As a girl with pcos it’s so inspiring to see you get pregnant and so far having a healthy and happy pregnancy just makes my heart so happy for you and for me to see it can happen! So happy for you Sam!
I’m so happy for you Sam!! We’re the same age and I also have PCOS and had my miracle babe last year! Being a mom is the greatest gift God can give you! 🤍🤍🤍
I felt everything you are feeling when i found out i was pregnant last year. I was so nervous especially about having to give birth. I struggled a lot well into my second trimester mentally. I just had my baby 7 weeks ago and every fear i had instantly subsided the moment i saw her. It’s the most indescribable feeling. An overwhelming, unconditional love. I’d do it a hundred times over for her.
honestly I would opt for giving a fake name for your baby just for safety since anyone can find information with a name like schools activities and its scary.
Sam, this video warmed my heart so much, you being so vulnerable about your fears was so genuine and I appreciate it so much. You are going to be the best mama. Already you are putting your child first and making sure they will be protected which I salute you for doing that 100%. They way that you are putting your family first shows that you are going to be the best mama ever and will always be there for your family. I admire that so much and I am so excited to see you getting so excited too. Youa re so right, everything happens for a reason and God has a beautiful plan for you and your baby!
I hope he doesn’t continue to perpetuate this stereotype and that he proposes soon and makes an a honest woman out of you Sam. You seem like a really sweet lady. He needs to step up and be a father and husband to you and your child.
This comment is NOT it. Any woman does NOT need a man to propose to “make an honest woman” out of her. That is so 1950s thinking that it’s gross. Sam’s health, happiness, and peace of mind are what are most important. She’s already stated several times that her relationships are kept private. We all need to respect that. If you can’t? Move on.
I’m so so so so proud of you Samantha & I know you’re going to be an AMAZING mother! I cannot wait to watch your journey & support you through every part of your journey! I think it’s beautiful that you want to keep your family safe & I fully support that & anything that makes you feel safe & happy! ❤❤❤
When I first heard the news, I definitely had a moment of shock and just general questions like everyone does when they find out someone is pregnant. But then I thought this kid is going to be the luckiest child ever to have you as their mother. When they grow up through life they’re gonna have the most understanding and helpful environment to flourish just like you have been for so many of us all these years. ❤
Something so beautiful is that one day your little one will be able to see how many people their momma has helped. And they’ll be able to see how you’ve grown and match stories to videos. I’m so excited for you two and the pups.♥️
GIRL, I’m also due in February with my first baby and I was just sitting here eating breakfast hardcore relating. Everyone on the internet being pregnant at the same time has definitely helped this all feel less crazy. I got pregnant right after moving an hour away from my hometown, fresh out of high school/college, so I didn’t have much time to make a new community. Having so many people online pregnant at the same time as me has been great.
Sam! I’ve been watching you for the last two years! Your authenticity is so beautiful, congratulations on your pregnancy I’m so excited to see what you share and post, you’re already an amazing mom 🩷
Becoming a parent is hard but my experience was that it made me discover an internal strength and resilience that I had never realised I had. Also the love and support your family/ partners family provide is astounding, they'll be a lot of people who amaze you with selfless acts of love. It's a difficult but beautiful thing to experience.
I am 10 seconds into this video, Sam hasn’t said a word and I’m already bawling. I watched you when I got pregnant unexpectedly as I was struggling with depression and you really helped me. Watching you in this stage of your life makes me so excited for you. You are going to be a fantastic mom 🥹
I’m so unbelievably happy for you Sam. You are already a great mom and you will continue to be! It’ll all be worth it. My baby just turned a year old and I remember all the anxiety that went into being pregnant at 22 years old. But it’s been amazing. Much love!
I feel like all of us have grown so much together over the years, like a super big friend group. Sam you’re going to be such a great mom, you’re such a beautiful person, inside and out. I’m glad you’re taking care of yourself and enjoying all of these moments, I’m so happy you’re posting again and sharing all of this with us, I’m so proud of you, you’re amazing 💗💗
We love you Sam ❤ we support you 100% and you keep us all going with your videos. You will have such a healthy happy baby and we are all here to support you ❤️ go easy on yourself !! Xo
Just seeing your relationship between you and your mom makes it so obvious that you're going to be an awesome mother yourself. I'm sure it's scary but you're going to find your way and be amazing at it. Congratulations! I pray you have a safe, healthy, love filled, and enjoyable pregnancy 💜.
The amount of excitement I have for you is unbelievable! I am so excited for you! 😱 can’t wait to see what you do with your creative self on the the nursery! ❤
Now I’m crying. Thank you for keeping it real all the time, it’s refreshing. Huge congratulations on the pregnancy I’m so excited for this next chapter for you. ❤
I’ve been watching u for a while now and I’m seriously so excited to see you become a mom. I know you are gonna be an amazing mom it’s gonna be a scary journey but also such an amazing one!!
Prenatal pilates/yoga/pelvic floor exercises, walking, and then doing internal family systems therapy to work through my fears of birth and parenting was really helpful.
I’m so happy you’re pregnant!! I’m keeping you in my prayers for a healthy, full-term pregnancy and labor/delivery! I started watching you in 2020 in the midst of my insecurities and it helped to know someone else was going through the same things as me. The more I watched you, the more I was excited to see your growth and boy have I seen it! I just know you’re going to be the most amazing, loving mom you aspire to be!! God is equipping you without you even realizing it! Be joyous and excited!! I’m so happy for you Sam🥹♥️♥️♥️
i’m a stay at home mom pregnant with my second baby! my first is 1 year! i definitely know what it’s like to not like to go out & stay at home! i watch your vids while i clean my house & my baby naps, makes me feel not so alone all the time! you’ll be a great mommy & you can always find a friend in me if you needed a mama friend!
I love that you’re pregnant! 23 and having my first in November and I have no clue what I’m doing but watching you will definitely make me less alone with all of it
SAM , I LOVE how you say the things we all are scared of / think of but very few people talk about! I love it , you make me feel normal and seen!! Thank you ❤
Love how real and relatable this is! Pregnancy really changes everything, but it’s also a beautiful journey. 💕 I feel inspired by your positivity! Can’t wait to see more of this! 😍✨
Omg! I hope that you continue vlogging through this because I was just thinking to me pregnant self that I wanted to watch pregnancy vlogs. You are so relatable and I love you so much. I’m currently 18w2d and SO HAPPY to be out of the first trimester. I can finally enjoy food again and just recently started feeling my lil guy moving around 🥹
i have been a fan of yours since the early early vlogmas days, and the amount of growth i have seen from you as a person, in every way possible, makes me so emotional🥹 i’m so inspired by you samantha jo… and i cannot wait to see you be such an amazing mom. ❤
Oh wow I’m so excited for you! I’m currently 40w + 3d with my first and it’s crazy for me to think back to being 13w. I’m so glad you are getting over that first trimester hangover. You are going to learn and grow so much before your baby comes and I truly wish you all of the best ❤ My biggest piece of advice is don’t be afraid to tell people their comments/opinions/advice are not wanted. I managed to evade the unsolicited comments from strangers for most of my pregnancy, but since about 34w I’ve had so many RANDOM people tell me their traumatic pregnancy or labor+delivery stories completely unprompted. PLEASE don’t be afraid to interrupt them and say that you respect their experience, but you don’t need to carry their trauma with you into your own journey. I’m sure it’s coming from a place of wanting to support and prepare you new moms, but don’t let it weigh you down. You’ve got this momma!
I want to give you the biggest hug!!! You are going to be an INCREDIBLE mother and your child is already lucky to have you as their mother. Praying for you!!! 💛
Sam, I’ve been watching you since the glow up videos. Last year I found out I was pregnant after being on ozempic (lost 60lbs) and we have the healthiest, perfect, 5mo old! You’re going to be a great mom! I can’t wait to see you embark on this new chapter!
i can't believe the person who i related to in 2019 and helped me thru my depression is going to be a mom 🥹 you've grown so much as a person and i know you're going to be an amazing mother 🤎🤎
No seriously same!!! I’m so happy for her!
Sameee
so real. sam has and will always be such an inspiration and beautiful soul. i cannot wait to see her glow as a mother
@@emilylinebargeri can't wait to see her journey as a mother 🥹
I’m happy for her ❤
When I was in labor I said “do I have to push her out? I can’t do it” And the nurse laughed and said girl she’s gotta come out she wants to meet you. And that really helped.

I pushed like 4 times then looked at my boyfriend and said “I can’t do this” only to learn the baby was out so I guess I did it 🤣 however my boyfriend thought I meant I couldn’t be a mom…. There was a lot of confusion going on
"I'm still important" So true!!! I feel like society views women as only a vessel once they are pregnant. You are still in there, you still matter!
This!!!
Pregnant women and mothers should be treated as GODDESSES for creating life, not as incubators. It is so infuriating. Almost makes me not want to have kids
“I didn’t mean to cry… I’d started the clip to tell you about my shoes” you’re the sweetest and you’re going to be an amazing mum 🥹 congratulations!
I'm glad that you took the first trimester to enjoy being pregnant and telling friends and family you have been absolutely glowing
I love that this channel is about sams life. Like I like that she doesn’t show her relationship and isn’t going to show her child because Im here for her. Im excited for her pregnancy era vids and mom era vids but Im happy that her kid wont actually be the center of videos. Im a woman and it’s refreshing to see a mother still be themselves like Sam is still Sam.
I think it'll be good for her too, for us to be here for just her :)
Agreed ❤
I love the idea of keeping the baby’s name private ! No stalkers, no looking up their school, other info. I think it’s a great idea
You got this, Sam! I had my baby almost a year ago. When I tell you I was terrified. I was terrified about labor and delivery and how my life would change. In my mind, I haven’t mentally aged myself since I was like 18, yet here I am, 28 years old. Even though I’m closer to 30 than 20, a part of me mourned my own childhood when I found out.

And your body totally adjusts and knows what to do - I love sleep and thought I would have way more trouble waking up but your body makes it possible. Everything will work out! You got this!
I don't know you but thank you for that comment. You just lifted a few pounds anxiety from me:) also im happy for you and wish you all the best
I relate to this heavily!! Also, I had a very horrible childhood. I never really got to be a kid, to be honest. So once I had my son, I got to play with toys, use my imagination, run around on playsets with him, go to trampoline parks, be amazed at museums …. It’s been lovely. I sat on the floor in his room with him and just cried knowing that I got my childhood back at 28 years old lol!

Sam the fact that you are so scared is already showing how good of a mum you're going to be you care so much about the baby already. So excited for you and your family on this new journey you're going to do incredible
You're doing it, adulting. I am 70 years old and I have a card time doing it. Congrats Samantha Jo on the pregnancy.

I’m due October 19 with my first! Hello fellow October mommy!

I'm due October 9th! Hello 👋 fellow 1st mama’s 💕

you have to mourn your past lives in order to make room for new phases. thank you for being so honest about your journey sam. i hope you know you have so many people who have watched you for years that are cheering you on & in your corner. this is such a difficult & scary new phase of life but it will be so worth it and beautiful. sending love & hugs💖💖
37:54 when you started crying so did I. This is going to be such an amazing journey and you’re gonna be a fantastic mom❤
I was infertile for 8 years and my partner and I never did anything to prevent a pregnancy. Last year I found out I was 3 months pregnant and I was so scared and happy and grateful. My boyfriend had an 8 month old babygirl when him and I got together so I've been raising her like my own since. I love the age difference between my babies. My little girl is going to be 10 years old in a few months and my little boy is turning 1 in October and watching the love between the two makes my heart so full ❤ and every milestone that my babyboy hits is so much more special because I never thought in a million years I'd be lucky enough to experience this. You're going to be a wonderful momma sam 😊
Sam I literally started crying at the end of the video when you said that our comments about how wonderful of a mom you are going to be have made you cry. You are truly gorgeous and you have helped so many of us. You're kind, sensitive, aware, mature, your journey is a real inspiration. I love you sweetie ❤
A cute baby nickname or first letter to keep the baby's legal name private sounds like such a good idea. You are going to be such an amazing mother, you are so thoughtful and mindful of everything and it has been heart warming to watch you grow. I found you in my weight loss journey and I am really happy for you as you start this new journey
i got pregnant with my son when i was 18 and i didn’t even want to keep myself alive. i didn’t know how i was going to keep another human being alive and i was terrified. as hard as motherhood is it is the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me. i have a reason to get out of bed everyday and live. seeing the world through a child’s eyes really changed my perspective. i just watched my son take his first steps, i get to see his face light up wherever he sees a dump truck drive by because he’s obsessed with them for some reason, and listen to him sing in baby language i can’t understand when we listen to music in the car. you will be a wonderful mom, just take it one day at time. congratulations 🎉
that's so beautiful 💗
Kids really can turn your life around in a good way!
sam the way you cared for your cat with kidney issues FOR YEARS!! you will be so so great and caring as a mother. i have no doubt you will bring so much love, joy and safety to that child's life. youve grown into a whole woman over these last few years, and it truly truly seems like youre more than ready whether you see that or not.
Right??? Thats a lot of work and attention. Personally i dont think i could keep a pet alive if it werent for my mom taking care of it even when it was in perfect health and young as well as when they got old. Which is why im more hesitant about children. Also bc my anxiety social anxiety and depression and ocd tendencies regarding lists and contamination is apparently extremely treatment resistant bc i get horrid side effects with every single medication and the only one that worked slightly i cant increase the dose bc my blood pressure is too low. Ah i forgot to make my point but its like kind of genetic also i cant people.
I’m 17w4d as of today. So many of the symptoms and feelings you shared are sooo relatable! So excited to go through this journey w you!
I’ve been silent watcher for 5+ years, and first let me just say; I AM SOOO HAPPY FOR YOU SAMANTHA!! Being a mother is so rewarding and one of the most amazing and emotional experiences that makes life… well LIFE! Sending you all the love and hugs from Nebraska!!❤️🤍
I always say if you’re worried whether or not you’re a good parent- that makes you a good parent. Trying is all we can do. No one is perfect. ❤You’re going to be okay. You’re so much stronger than you may sometimes believe.
i really do appreciate seeing a different side to upcoming motherhood, its nice to see that its okay to be scared for this huge change for someone’s life and being transparent is a breath of fresh
not me crying every time you cry GIRL!😭 you got this and don't forget there's no blueprint of how to be a good mom! Every new mom is a NEW MOM, ergo... learning as they go! Doubts, regrets, confusion, feelings, etc... they are inevitable in this journey and totally valid! 🥰 Thank you for always sharing every version of you here with us, sending so much love and a huge hug!🤗💝
You know why we love Sam? Because she is the type of person that will treat her pets with the same level of care, even after having a child.❤
Motherhood is the best hood. Everything will be ok! Pregnancy honestly is the hardest part so far and my oldest is 11! Having children is so fun
You’re going to be such an amazing Mom. The way you’re so aware of yourself and how you have grown and need to grow is so amazing. I know this is scary and unexpected but I promise everything will fall into place
When I got pregnant I started following people who had a similar due date to me and it was so validating because I knew I wasn’t the only one going through it. It helps so much, even in the newborn days when your up all night, it’s nice to know that there’s a mom out there who is also up with their baby so your never truly alone 🥹🖤
Sam every single one you post about pregnancy I’m going to say CONGRATULATIONS IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS CHAPTER, here are some things I wished one would’ve told me, when you are very pregnant you will be fluctuating hormones so fast, emotions are okay, and when you have the baby, girl the amount of emotions and hormones you gain back, a whirlwind!
I love how this video was all about her pregnancy, you can tell she’s so excited. we hope nothing but a healthy pregnancy journey and we will be here with you every second of it momma. We love you 🥰 guys
I basically cried this whole Vlog🥲, I love you as a content creator❤️I’m so incredibly happy that you’re having a baby. I also didn’t think I could have kids but in 2021, I got blessed with my daughter 😄 and then I just gave birth to my son in February 2024. I pray you have a safe Healthy pregnancy and look forward to watching all of your future content. You’re the best🫶🏽
I can’t believe I’ve gone through your channel as a highschool dropout, to my first kid, watching you grow and now having your own kid. You have made my 20s so much easier with how much I can relate to you through eating struggles and mental health struggles. I can’t believe we’re doing this life in our 20s, I can’t wait to see us grow even more Sam you are so awesome.
i feel like being a mom is gonna suit you so well☹️🥺💗
Can I just say your honesty about your fears etc is such a breath of fresh air. I love how authentic you are and I think everyone feels nervous and fears being a good parent. The fact that that does scare, you means you were going to be such a great mom . I am so excited for you.
cannot wait to watch you grow through this season of life. you’re going to be the best mama
It seems like you're making choices from a very balanced and mature place. You dont need to be perfect, you just have to have humility and try your best. This is what being a good mum is! Your baby is such a gift. You got this Samantha🥰
Congratulations I’m so happy for you and Jaryl. If it’s a girl I would be watching tutorials on how to do her hair now. Learning to do a baby hair with a different texture than your own is a journey
I've been following you since you first started, I may be busy with life and don't watch religiously anymore but I do when I can and I'm so happy for you!! I'm a toddler mama now so I don't watch TH-cam often! So happy for you !!!❤
I haven’t stopped celebrating your pregnancy. I’m so happy for you both 😭♥️
This 👏🏼👏🏼
Who’s her boyfriend/husband? Just curious I haven’t been watching her very long
@@AddyW5432wondering the same omg so happy for her
@@AddyW5432she posts him on her instagram sometimes but I think she said before that he prefers privacy. He seems nice and they’re so cute together!
Hi! His name is Gerald. He’s the dark, tall, handsome, strong, and silent type ❤ She still has some videos up with him. You can watch one from when they went to Disney five months ago, and also from two years ago before their break up. (they took a little time apart because of a job opportunity I think). One video is carving pumpkins, and another one is “answering juicy questions with my boyfriend.”
Currently 36 weeks pregnant with my second kiddo, and ready to be DONE! I remember the first trimester like it was yesterday. Congrats and enjoy everything 🎉
Congratulations! I was also told I couldn’t conceive naturally and the day I went in for bloodwork to start IVF I found out I was pregnant. I also ended up losing 40lbs during pregnancy because I couldn’t keep much down. You got this girl and congrats again on this wonderful gift.
sam!! I have never heard someone whose brain works so similarly to mine. It is so comforting to know another person (and someone I admire at that) also struggles with confidence, going into places alone, binging, anxiety, etc etc. the way you explain things makes so much sense to me and its the most refreshing thing. you will be such a good mom and gives me faith that someone w a brain like me can be a badass, unconditionally loving mother. thank you so so much
I gave birth to my daughter in March. I was terrified but so grateful to have her after a miscarriage in 2022. You will be a wonderful mom and your body can do amazing things!!
Ive supported you since 2019 and i love to see you grow and go through so many chapters of your life, having a baby is so excited and i'm so happy for you!! you're going to be an amazing mother 💗
Omg the idea of you having a kid does not scare me at all! You seem the most settled and content compared to the last few years!
Im currently juuuust hitting my third trimester and when I tell you seeing that Samantha too will be a momma made me slightly emotional. the human who helped me throughout all my hardships and seeing this new chapter makes me so happy dude
I know it’s so early, and there is so much to focus on with just being pregnant, but the number 1 thing I wish someone would have shared with me was “taking cara babies” if you Google it, it has example sleep/feeding schedules and general ideas for how long babies are comfortable being awake for their age. Sleep and understanding what baby needed when were the biggest hurdles for me ❤
I know it wasn’t planned, but you are 100% going to rise to the challenge and excel as a mom-you’ve got this!!
And you totally don’t have to pay for it, it’s so expensive! So much of the information is readily available on the site for free!
"our brains can be so mean to us and convince us that we are people that we're not" wow Sam, I needed that reminder today... your growth mindset and positive outlook always inspire me 💕 its not easy work, it's a choice we make every day. much love from a fellow Tampa girly
I just had a baby in September 2023, your right, being a mom is hard. But it’s the BEST thing ever. Always trust your own intuition, embrace every moment and remember you know YOUR baby best. You’re gonna be a great mommy, congrats :)
Happy early birthday to your baby
What helped me tremendously was preparing. Lamaze classes, Hypnobirth classes, reading books, watching videos!
You’re going to be a great mom Sam! So happy for you ❤
This is SO the Universe at work Sam. You were elevating in life so much, I think God is giving you a little nudge forward. These months pregnant are teaching you how to care for yourself on the level of taking care of another. And now this baby is going to be so SO well loved.
Also im so selfishly sad that we wont get to experience typical family vlogs with you guyssss but i completely 2500% understand exactly why lol yay im excited for you guys
Been watching since 2019 seen you go through all the changes but this is the biggest one yet !! You’re such an inspiration and I know you’re going to be an amazing mom !! U will be amazing and raise a wonderful baby 🤍 I’m glad to see you and your little family grow !! Sending you all my love and prayers 🤍🤍🤍
Am I at work? Yes.
Am I watching this video regardless? Yes.
😂❤
Same 😊
Am I crying at the end? At work? Yes 😅
Same 😂😂
I’ve followed you for a long time and to say how happy I am for you wouldn’t do it justice! Congratulations on your pregnancy and the beautiful journey you’re going to experience thus far!
It’s the pulling out the wedgy😂😂
We are on your team girl! So happy to see you on your new journey and you are 10000% gonna be the best mama 🤍 so exited for you and Gerald 🥰
Pregnancy hormones are no joke! I remember bursting into tears because my husband ate the strawberry that I wanted (I had just decided it in my head and didn’t tell him I wanted that specific one). 😂
This is so real! 🤣
i cried with you girl, youre going to be such a great mom! thank you for being so genuine and showing all your emotions on camera, its nice to see that vulnerability
PLEASE STOP BELITTLING YOURSELF ☹️ you’re so strong and brave for pushing yourself out of your comfort zone even if it is just ordering food in person!!! you’re such a unique and beautiful person and you need to realize that you’re HUMAN and have difficulties in certain areas of life even if it feels embarrassing. guess what? so many people who are watching this video relate to you, you’re not alone nor should you be embarrassed for the way you react to certain things.
I still keep thinking Sam is gonna say "GOTCHA!" and say it was all a prank LOL - still in shock!
WAIT WHAT?!? did i miss a few episodes?!? but awe congratulations!!!🥺❤️❤️
Watch her last video! 🥳♥️
I just want you to know that you have gotten me through so many rough times. You have given me hope that my goals and dreams are so much more attainable. Goals that once felt so impossible to me. I deal with anxiety/depression and some days it is hard to just get out of bed. But watching your videos helped me learn that even baby steps are steps in the right direction. ❤
Not me eating brown sugar oatmeal while I watch this 😂
As a girl with pcos it’s so inspiring to see you get pregnant and so far having a healthy and happy pregnancy just makes my heart so happy for you and for me to see it can happen! So happy for you Sam!
I’m so happy for you Sam!! We’re the same age and I also have PCOS and had my miracle babe last year! Being a mom is the greatest gift God can give you! 🤍🤍🤍
I felt everything you are feeling when i found out i was pregnant last year. I was so nervous especially about having to give birth. I struggled a lot well into my second trimester mentally. I just had my baby 7 weeks ago and every fear i had instantly subsided the moment i saw her. It’s the most indescribable feeling. An overwhelming, unconditional love. I’d do it a hundred times over for her.
honestly I would opt for giving a fake name for your baby just for safety since anyone can find information with a name like schools activities and its scary.
Sam, this video warmed my heart so much, you being so vulnerable about your fears was so genuine and I appreciate it so much. You are going to be the best mama. Already you are putting your child first and making sure they will be protected which I salute you for doing that 100%. They way that you are putting your family first shows that you are going to be the best mama ever and will always be there for your family. I admire that so much and I am so excited to see you getting so excited too. Youa re so right, everything happens for a reason and God has a beautiful plan for you and your baby!
I hope he doesn’t continue to perpetuate this stereotype and that he proposes soon and makes an a honest woman out of you Sam. You seem like a really sweet lady. He needs to step up and be a father and husband to you and your child.
she’s trying to baby trap him. if he wanted to , he would.
This comment is NOT it. Any woman does NOT need a man to propose to “make an honest woman” out of her. That is so 1950s thinking that it’s gross.
Sam’s health, happiness, and peace of mind are what are most important. She’s already stated several times that her relationships are kept private. We all need to respect that. If you can’t? Move on.
I’m so so so so proud of you Samantha & I know you’re going to be an AMAZING mother! I cannot wait to watch your journey & support you through every part of your journey! I think it’s beautiful that you want to keep your family safe & I fully support that & anything that makes you feel safe & happy! ❤❤❤
So when is he prop0sing? He needs to step up to the plate.
When I first heard the news, I definitely had a moment of shock and just general questions like everyone does when they find out someone is pregnant. But then I thought this kid is going to be the luckiest child ever to have you as their mother. When they grow up through life they’re gonna have the most understanding and helpful environment to flourish just like you have been for so many of us all these years. ❤
Something so beautiful is that one day your little one will be able to see how many people their momma has helped. And they’ll be able to see how you’ve grown and match stories to videos. I’m so excited for you two and the pups.♥️
GIRL, I’m also due in February with my first baby and I was just sitting here eating breakfast hardcore relating. Everyone on the internet being pregnant at the same time has definitely helped this all feel less crazy. I got pregnant right after moving an hour away from my hometown, fresh out of high school/college, so I didn’t have much time to make a new community. Having so many people online pregnant at the same time as me has been great.
Sam! I’ve been watching you for the last two years! Your authenticity is so beautiful, congratulations on your pregnancy I’m so excited to see what you share and post, you’re already an amazing mom 🩷
Becoming a parent is hard but my experience was that it made me discover an internal strength and resilience that I had never realised I had. Also the love and support your family/ partners family provide is astounding, they'll be a lot of people who amaze you with selfless acts of love. It's a difficult but beautiful thing to experience.
I’m so glad you’re back - happy & healthy!! I’ve missed your vlogs & Tiktoks 🤍🤍🤍
I am 10 seconds into this video, Sam hasn’t said a word and I’m already bawling. I watched you when I got pregnant unexpectedly as I was struggling with depression and you really helped me. Watching you in this stage of your life makes me so excited for you. You are going to be a fantastic mom 🥹
I’m so unbelievably happy for you Sam. You are already a great mom and you will continue to be! It’ll all be worth it. My baby just turned a year old and I remember all the anxiety that went into being pregnant at 22 years old. But it’s been amazing. Much love!
I feel like all of us have grown so much together over the years, like a super big friend group. Sam you’re going to be such a great mom, you’re such a beautiful person, inside and out. I’m glad you’re taking care of yourself and enjoying all of these moments, I’m so happy you’re posting again and sharing all of this with us, I’m so proud of you, you’re amazing 💗💗
We love you Sam ❤ we support you 100% and you keep us all going with your videos. You will have such a healthy happy baby and we are all here to support you ❤️ go easy on yourself !! Xo
Just seeing your relationship between you and your mom makes it so obvious that you're going to be an awesome mother yourself. I'm sure it's scary but you're going to find your way and be amazing at it. Congratulations! I pray you have a safe, healthy, love filled, and enjoyable pregnancy 💜.
The amount of excitement I have for you is unbelievable! I am so excited for you! 😱 can’t wait to see what you do with your creative self on the the nursery! ❤
Now I’m crying. Thank you for keeping it real all the time, it’s refreshing. Huge congratulations on the pregnancy I’m so excited for this next chapter for you. ❤
You are going to be an amazing mother. The fact you are worried speaks VOLUMES! So proud of you and all you do.
I’ve been watching u for a while now and I’m seriously so excited to see you become a mom. I know you are gonna be an amazing mom it’s gonna be a scary journey but also such an amazing one!!
Prenatal pilates/yoga/pelvic floor exercises, walking, and then doing internal family systems therapy to work through my fears of birth and parenting was really helpful.
I’m so happy you’re pregnant!! I’m keeping you in my prayers for a healthy, full-term pregnancy and labor/delivery! I started watching you in 2020 in the midst of my insecurities and it helped to know someone else was going through the same things as me. The more I watched you, the more I was excited to see your growth and boy have I seen it! I just know you’re going to be the most amazing, loving mom you aspire to be!! God is equipping you without you even realizing it! Be joyous and excited!! I’m so happy for you Sam🥹♥️♥️♥️
i’m a stay at home mom pregnant with my second baby! my first is 1 year! i definitely know what it’s like to not like to go out & stay at home! i watch your vids while i clean my house & my baby naps, makes me feel not so alone all the time! you’ll be a great mommy & you can always find a friend in me if you needed a mama friend!
I love that you’re pregnant! 23 and having my first in November and I have no clue what I’m doing but watching you will definitely make me less alone with all of it
SAM , I LOVE how you say the things we all are scared of / think of but very few people talk about! I love it , you make me feel normal and seen!! Thank you ❤
Love how real and relatable this is! Pregnancy really changes everything, but it’s also a beautiful journey. 💕 I feel inspired by your positivity! Can’t wait to see more of this! 😍✨
Omg! I hope that you continue vlogging through this because I was just thinking to me pregnant self that I wanted to watch pregnancy vlogs. You are so relatable and I love you so much. I’m currently 18w2d and SO HAPPY to be out of the first trimester. I can finally enjoy food again and just recently started feeling my lil guy moving around 🥹
Sam, please prioritize your mental health/self care throughout this journey! Especially after baby is born. So excited for you! ❤
i have been a fan of yours since the early early vlogmas days, and the amount of growth i have seen from you as a person, in every way possible, makes me so emotional🥹 i’m so inspired by you samantha jo… and i cannot wait to see you be such an amazing mom. ❤
I’m so proud of you, Sam.❤
You’re gonna be the best Mom ever!!!
Love you so much!!!!
Oh wow I’m so excited for you! I’m currently 40w + 3d with my first and it’s crazy for me to think back to being 13w. I’m so glad you are getting over that first trimester hangover. You are going to learn and grow so much before your baby comes and I truly wish you all of the best ❤
My biggest piece of advice is don’t be afraid to tell people their comments/opinions/advice are not wanted. I managed to evade the unsolicited comments from strangers for most of my pregnancy, but since about 34w I’ve had so many RANDOM people tell me their traumatic pregnancy or labor+delivery stories completely unprompted. PLEASE don’t be afraid to interrupt them and say that you respect their experience, but you don’t need to carry their trauma with you into your own journey. I’m sure it’s coming from a place of wanting to support and prepare you new moms, but don’t let it weigh you down.
You’ve got this momma!
I want to give you the biggest hug!!! You are going to be an INCREDIBLE mother and your child is already lucky to have you as their mother. Praying for you!!! 💛
Sam, I’ve been watching you since the glow up videos. Last year I found out I was pregnant after being on ozempic (lost 60lbs) and we have the healthiest, perfect, 5mo old! You’re going to be a great mom! I can’t wait to see you embark on this new chapter!
