The fatigue is so rough. No amount of sleep and naps helped on top of feeling lazy and not yourself. I almost felt depressed because you didn't feel like yourself
The first trimester for me was so rough. The fatigue is no joke, you sleep and sleep and it’s still not enough. The constant nausea and smells that make you gag, I also had trouble feeding my pup his food too. My prenatal also used to make me gag but now it’s not so bad. I’m almost in the 3rd trimester and I do promise you, the symptoms will get better. 💕
Genetic counselor here. Great to hear you talk about NIPT. Super important for folks to know you can get potentially serious medical info not just find out the gender. But that’s a super fun side benefit :) 25:50
After 3 years of secondary infertility I finally got a positive!! I’ve had some cramping but heard it’s normal. Did you feel any cramping? If so, was there anything that helped? By the way, I went back to be seen at your old clinic but was told you left the practice (a little sad) but met another well recommended doctor there. She seems great too. I will ALWAYS be sooo grateful with how much compassion you treated me with after my MC. It truly impacted me in a good way, no doctor had ever spoke to me like a human before you. Thank you so much and congratulations on your pregnancy❤
Muchas gracias, acabo de encontrar tu canal. I am 40 and first time pregnant, hearing all your symptoms as a OBG was so validating, I feel so tired, so different but so happy and weird, with cramps in my lower abdomen and breast tenderness. I am just so happy I found you. I will keep watching and get ready with all of my question and concerns to ask at my next appointment. You are a blessing. Thank you SO MUCH and Also congratulations for your new baby girl. Send you so much love.
I’m pregnant with my first child and this video helped me so much. I have been so nauseous and tired and it’s so not like me. Thank you so much for posting.
Literally In the last stretch of first trimester. The fatigue and nausea and vomiting has been crazy. This video gives me hope that it gets better soon 😊
For my daughter I threw up so bad in the 1st trimester but I would at least throw up once a day the whole 9 mts. One time I had to throw up in a parking lot too! It just comes out of no where! Hope it subsides for you and so happy for you and Cory!
I can relate so much with the gag reflexes and nausea with some smells! I am expecting my second baby and am in my first trimester right now the gag reflex is so bad!!
I can’t personally relate yet since I don’t have any kids yet 🤞🏻🤞🏻but when my mom was pregnant with me she told me that whenever my dad opened the fridge she would have to move because of the smells coming from the fridge where making her feel sick 🤢
I loved how you talked about it because my first pregnancy was bad but never had that sensitivity with ny breast like i did with my second as well with how exhausted i was this time around. But god my vomiting for both lasted 6 months 😢
The fatigue was horrible for me too. I teach special Ed, it was tough to be on for the whole day & try to get all my duties done. I really just kept to myself, had to, some people were just offended & couldn't understand.... third tri now, the fatigue is back baby.... 🥴! The moderate anemia doesn't help. Lol.
Your so lucky that your obgyn appointment went well, where given information about classes, pamphlets, samples of prenatals and got to ask lots of questions. My experience was not good. I could not ask questions as they were rushed, they didn't give me any information just told me to go on their website, got to hear the heartbeat for about 5 seconds, didn't tell me my due date, didn't confirm how far along I was. They couldn't get me and my husband outta there fast enough.
I cannot express how happy I was to see your announcement video and this one! I have a 13 month old GIRL and had the WORST fatigue in the first trimester - so I get it LOL. I had bad nausea, but only vomitted twice through my whole pregnancy... that said, is it a girl?? I know you're still pondering how to announce that to your platform - but that's just my guess :) Congratulations and good luck regardless
Girl congratulations I am 14 weeks pregnant and my morning 🤢 is still so bad and the fatigue is still so bad and my prenatal vitamins makes me so bad and I have needed to go the hospital and have them give me iv fluids like 5 times the whole pregnancy
I love that Barbie travel set at love the color of that pink that is absolutely so cute are my favorite colors as it is so I love that look forward to finishing the videos and what else you got
Loving your videos! Time to subscribe 😊. By the way what foundation did you use? looks really good. I am 7 weeks pregnant and nauseous but haven’t trown up.
Hello Ali! I just subscribed to your channel and I LOVE IT!! I am a little over 5 weeks pregnant, and today was the first day I thought I was actually going to throw up and I was out in public. Not fun! I have a question about a different symptom, and when I google this symptom the answers I find are "this happens sometimes in the second trimester, and it is usually mild." This symptom is: painful cramping that last 10-20 minutes after orgasm. It has happened a few times and last time was really bad I honestly thought I was miscarrying which sounds silly but in the moment it was terrifying. I looked on reddit to see if other women have this experience and it seemed common, so I was confused as to why I've never heard of this before until I was curled up on the bathroom floor trying to breathe through these cramps lmao. I would really love if you could make a short about this or something!
Im tring for baby #3 but i hasnt happened yet... with my other 2 3 weeks after stoping depo i was prego bit not this time its been a month know so we will see im leaving it in gods hads only he know when will be the right time..🙏
1st trimester is so bad for me. I found out around 3 weeks because I got crazy cramps, they lasted 2 weeks and kept me up at night. Week 6 the nausea started and havent stopped for 3 weeks :( and yes I coulf sleep for hours durint the day and feel useless
For my first trimester is going pretty rough. I’d say I had my last period August 20 but I’ve done an ultrasound October 3. They weren’t able to see anything just an empty stack also last Wednesday as well just an empty sack but I’ve noticed I’ve been spotting brown discharge for one week, not so much, but every time I wipe, I notice it what do you feel like that is leaning towards they want to do another ultrasound Thursday, but I’m very nervous, but I want very good news.
I did got excepted in medical school at age of 12 year old this is my 25th year of medical school today I am about to graduate my medical school for summer semester I am half way done with med school only 2 more semesters to go fall semester 2023 and winter semester 2023 then I will finish on December 26 2023 after Christmas oh my god is coming my name is Kennes Victoria Georgia and thank Florida for supporting me until I got excepted in medical school
I go over this in my older video about first trimester symptoms. But we see cramping in early pregnancy, as long as it's not associated with bleeding we tend not to worry. Always best to ask your doctor!
Thank you for responding! No bleeding thankfully and my first appointment is in 10 days so thank you for giving me that peace of mind till I’m able to see my doctor 😊
My mum threw up literally almost every single day when she was pregnant with both me and my sister. I didn’t know until about a year ago, so now I’m worried that I’ll be doing the same
Hi Doc Ali, I am 7 weeks and 5 days pregnant and on a bed rest as advised my OB. I’m always tired and feeling nauseous. I also don’t have appetite to eat anything but I’m forcing myself to eat even just a little meal. I was just wondering if this is normal?
Every pregnancy, after the first, I knew I was pregnant even before testing. The cinnamon scented pine cones at Walmart would immediately make me have to run and throw up. For some reason i never lost the “super sonic sniffer”. It’s really not a good sense to have being a former funeral director, who switched to working in a state mental health facility. I still can’t stand the smell of the cinnamon pine cones. I’m thinking it’s because they were a huge trigger for such bad nausea and vomiting. But nothing would stay down during my first and third pregnancy. I did end up with HG during my first and third pregnancies. The second one, was very chill with little to zero symptoms at all. I stayed in denial, even with prenatal care. Until one night I went to bed, and woke up unable to see my feet the next morning. 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️😂
So in medical school you take step 1, complex USA 2, step 2 complex step 2. Then out of of med school you take step 3 and then your boards in obgyn written and oral. Is that correct. Also how any changes you get to retake the board. What happen if you fail a board exam? For nursing in Florida I get 3 changes to retake nclex before taking remedies course. I passed nckex first try so now I’m a nurse
So funny, I couldn't tolerate my Nespresso pods either. It was actually the first sign I had that I was pregnant with #2 last year. One morning I got up, and was repulsed by my Nespresso. And sure enough, a positive test the next day!!! 🤣
Good to finally see who goes through pregnancy whilst also having to go to work! Otherwise I was starting to think everyone is taking some mysterious time off when in the first weeks of pregnancy 😅 😅😅
I know you mentioned you like to write down ideas for content for youtube I have ideas in mind that you could do I was wondering where I can message you my ideas :)
I stg I smelled some milk and just walked straight to the bathroom didn’t even do the gag and wait thing lmaooooo 😭 all I keep saying to myself is this is going to be a long ride
Can you pretty please tell me where you got your palazzo pants??? I am desperate to find that exact item. But yeah. First trimester is no joke. I have fibromyalgia, hypermobility, and sleep apnea, so the fatigue was horrific. I noticed that you use the words cr@zy and ins@ne a lot in this video. Yes, I know they're used all the time and current social norms have decided that makes them acceptable, but those words have a harmful medical history and continue to stigmatize mental illness and disability. It can be quite triggering to hear them over and over. Especially since you treat patients who may have medical trauma and difficulty self advocating, it would be helpful if you used phrasing like, "the nausea was so intense!" or "my fatigue hit me even harder than I expected," or "experiencing the things that I counsel people about every day for the first time myself has been surreal." Thanks!
Yes! It totally weirds me out to think of a man doing anything down there (unless it’s an emergency and I have no choice obviously). I’ve always chosen women gyns and obs!

Large ziplock bags are a life saver in the car! Puke, zip it up, and toss it later!
This! It’s the way to go for car nausea!!
The fatigue was unreal the first trimester! I will take newborn stage tired over pregnancy tired any day 😂
I love that you are doing better and this type of format is very useful.
Thank you for the feedback!! It’s been fun to document!
I’m pregnant with my first child and this video helped me so much. I have been so nauseous and tired and it’s so not like me. Thank you so much for posting.
Tummy Pops at target help me !!! or ask your OBGYN to prescribe oral dissolvable ondansetron!
Literally In the last stretch of first trimester. The fatigue and nausea and vomiting has been crazy. This video gives me hope that it gets better soon 😊
You are glowing!!! So excited to watch your journey.
Thank you!!! I think the glow started after the first trimester😂 because that was ROUGH!
@@alirodmd I am taking step 1 tomorrow... your comment made my night! 💜
Love this style of vlog video! It’s so fun hearing about your experience with pregnancy💕

My mom told me her first two pregnancies were like, threw up the entire 9 months :/ then with me she said I was the easiest pregnancy so yay me? LOL
I can relate so much with the gag reflexes and nausea with some smells! I am expecting my second baby and am in my first trimester right now the gag reflex is so bad!!
Some smells are just so triggering🤢!!
@@alirodmd yes omg the worst
I can’t personally relate yet since I don’t have any kids yet 🤞🏻🤞🏻but when my mom was pregnant with me she told me that whenever my dad opened the fridge she would have to move because of the smells coming from the fridge where making her feel sick 🤢
Watching this I had no idea it was your first vlog, I love it!! So fun to watch but also informative along the way
I loved how you talked about it because my first pregnancy was bad but never had that sensitivity with ny breast like i did with my second as well with how exhausted i was this time around. But god my vomiting for both lasted 6 months 😢
The breast sensitivity is on another level!!! And it looks like I’m on track for 6 months of this nausea/vomiting nonsense
Ohh I just love you're videos!!! I had a tubal reversal and now trying to have a baby!!
Loving these videos! I’m currently in my third trimester!
The fatigue was horrible for me too. I teach special Ed, it was tough to be on for the whole day & try to get all my duties done.

Feels like a hangover you know u have to eat but you cant ...
Hi Doc Ali, I am 7 weeks and 5 days pregnant and on a bed rest as advised my OB. I’m always tired and feeling nauseous. I also don’t have appetite to eat anything but I’m forcing myself to eat even just a little meal. I was just wondering if this is normal?
How are you doing
Every pregnancy, after the first, I knew I was pregnant even before testing. The cinnamon scented pine cones at Walmart would immediately make me have to run and throw up.

“It wasn’t in the morning” morning sickness is an all day thing
Love your glasses. Where are they from?
Warby Parker!
Ugh the all day "morning" sickness is horrible 😩😩😩😩 19 weeks and still at it 🤮
When I was pregnant I tried to get some Jean shorts too for my vacation I went up 2 sizes and they didn’t fit me 😂😭😭
hahaha! Just like me! I was like yeaaaaah no more jeans for me lol
I am not glad to hear you gag, but am glad im not alone with the dog food smell issues! 😂
The dog food smell is the WORST right now! 😂
Curious if you did the NT scan?
So funny, I couldn't tolerate my Nespresso pods either.
It was actually the first sign I had that I was pregnant with #2 last year. One morning I got up, and was repulsed by my Nespresso. And sure enough, a positive test the next day!!! 🤣

I enjoyed watching this video so much! I miss being pregnant 🥺 my baby is now 18 months 🙏🏼

I hope someone reads this comment any if you having pain on the left side of the Belly like a burning pain😭
I know you mentioned you like to write down ideas for content for youtube I have ideas in mind that you could do I was wondering where I can message you my ideas :)
Leave them here!! would love to hear what they are!

I feel that way found out at 2 weeks pregnant im now 13 weeks its brutal i have nausea and sleepy still
I’m around 8 weeks but I haven’t done any genetic testing. Would you recommend that I do one now?
NIPT can only be done after 10 weeks! Check out my other video where I talk about all the genetic testing options!
I wish I could be Ali’s OBGYN
When did you boob soreness go away?!😂 do they stay that big until end of pregnancy?
I'm still experiencing it throughout my second trimester, it can definitely stay until after delivery, sometimes even until breastfeeding is done!
It would be pointless for me to wear makeup if it was 115 outside 😭
Why would anyone critique you as an obgyn like? Duh she knows 😂
I thought your not supposed to eat deli meat?
Im team girl 😂i have 2 boys 👬

@@alirodmd So they aren't designed for maternity? I don't see pregnant models on their site.
I think you’re have a girl 👧😍
This is why I feel like men OBs don’t really UNDERSTAND us when we complain about pains ESPECIALLY ROUND LIGAMENT PAIN lol 🥲🥲🥲
Haven’t experienced the round ligament pain yet but I’m sure I will!
It’s interesting how everyone is different I personally have always wanted and have had men obgyns.
