Jess I am a 52 year old married lady wtih no children, I am not a fan of Disney, I am not into make up yet here I am peeking into your life with seemingly nothing in common yet I watch all your vidoes through to the end. Your authenticity, kindness and vulnerbaility is enganging and a testament to the bonds that can be forged over technology and across a generation. I am routing for you and your growing family.
I’m a 68 year old retired grandma who has been following Jessica for a couple years now and although I have nothing in common (except I still LOVE makeup and Jessica has influenced ALOT of my purchases, haha) I am still very entertained by her beautiful little family and life. God bless you Jessica and baby to be and GiGi and Tyler too! Love your little family!🥰
It's so refreshing to hear youtubers mention that it took them a while to conceive. We've been trying for over a year now for a first baby and it so tough, literally feels like everyone is having babies sometimes and it's just not happening for us. I think before you start trying, a lot of people are just under the impression it happens immediately because not enough people mention take about the struggles. Love to everyone here dealing with similar!
@@Abcdefghijajajaja what a strange reply. No not at all...it's just that a lot of people on social media try to make out they live a perfect life/don't struggle with anything and it makes others feel bad that they don't have a 'perfect life', even if it isn't real. It's nice when people don't do that and aren't fake. Have a nice day 🙂
I’m 15 weeks pregnant with twins after three miscarriages. I haven’t really looked up pregnancy-related videos. But I’ve been watching you for years, Jessica, so I already know and trust you, and I really appreciate videos like this from you! 💕 I’m so excited for you, Tyler and Gigi.
Yes! Ask your doctor questions. I am a nurse and I love when patients ask questions! It helps us know what you are thinking about and need. There is so much to cover and some patients have done a lot of research and made up their minds about things and we want to be respectful and not be teaching them about something they are already set on. Anyway, yes anytime you have questions ask you doctor!!! They will be better able to help you💕
I was so excited when you announced you were pregnant! I'm 21 weeks. This is my fourth pregnancy, but the only one I've made it out of the first trimester so I feel so lost and overwhelmed at times so I love hearing your advice and feeling like I have someone on this journey with me!
Congrats on a your second trimester! I also experienced a 1st trimester loss, and I can only imagine what it would be like to go through it more than once. I know the worry is probably still in the back of your mind, but it’s very encouraging that you’ve made it this far. Just take it day at a time & try to focus on 1 thing each day that’s going well. I’ve found that gratitude is a weapon against worry and anxiety (not a cure though.. I’m on Rx for that…) I’ll be praying you & yours see yourselves through a long and healthy pregnancy. My heart is *in it* for any woman who has experienced issues with fertility or loss. You will persevere, Mama. You are strong, and everyday you are becoming the perfect person for the soul who will make you a mother on earth. I don’t know what the future holds, but come what may: You’ve got this. 💞🤰💪♀️
I'm praying for you and the blessing you are carrying. If you aren't religious I understand and don't want to push my religion on you. So I will also put some good vibes out there too. 😊 may you have a beautiful healthy baby.
All my kids have a 4 year age gap (I have 4 total) I think it’s a great age gap! You get a lot of individual time with each child because the older one starts school around that time. Even though my oldest is 12 years older than my youngest they all get along well!
So excited for you! I'm 25 weeks today with my first after 3 years of trying and a miscarriage. Thank you for sharing your journey! Sending positive vibes for a continued happy and healthy pregnancy!
I had post partum depression with my first child. I was 31. I wanted children. I wanted to be a mom. I think the realization that you have a tiny human that will depend on you for life is a dramatic change. I didn’t have a problem with my second.
I'm not one to comment, but I have to say when you said, "it's okay to ask questions" I started to cry. I'm going through my first pregnancy and am seeing an MFM due to an autoimmune disease and I'm just plain scared. There's so much to think about and hearing someone say "it's okay" to ask questions is such a relief. I'm in the same mindset of "oh I don't want to be a burden" but I've never done this before! So hearing someone else say that it's okay is really comforting, so thank you.
I'm 36 and a First Time Mom at 34 weeks. I'm feeling all the emotions of becoming a momma. Jessica I have so much love for u, your videos always put me in a good mood and I'm so happy for you, Tyler and Gigi! ❤ Tyler is such an amazing husband making and bringing u breakfast, he's such a Gem! I look forward to more of these pregnancy update videos!
I’m so happy you’re doing pregnancy updates! I’ve been watching your videos regularly for the past 2 years I think, and now I’m pregnant for the first time and it’s so nice to see someone I trust and watch for years being pregnant at the same time, it’s very comforting. I’m maybe a month or so behind you. Thank you Jess it really feels like I have a pregnant friend with me ❤️
Get the ALWAYS DISCREET 360 (the one that looks like underwear with the purple bow on it). You can layer it with an overnight pad too. It's SO COMFY, like a pillowy undies and protective.
I am kinda opposite I loved the transition to parenthood, but am so anxious about adding another. I am so worried about not having enough of me to go around and trying to juggle it all without losing the enjoyment in the chaos
My second baby was a breeze , I was more confident and in control. I knew how to handle taking care of him, my first one was a learning experience and a hard one. Praying for a healthy baby and that all goes well. Take care ❤️🙏🏼
I'm 8 and a half weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby, I'm feeling so sick and exhausted and lots of hip and lower back pain! Congratulations on your pregnancy, you look fantastic 💞
Congratulations! It is awesome to hear you trusting your own instincts as a Mama, that's really where it's at. I wanted to share that when I was pregnant with my second child, my son was about 2 and a half and I read him "Sophie and the New Baby" by Albert Whtman all the time. He loved it and it's all about a sibling waiting while Mama's belly grows (which takes forever!) and then the baby is a total bummer-crying and lying about-before she learns to smile and play. It's really great.
Jessica, I'm so excited for y'all! My son Ty is 3 months younger than GiGi so we were pregnant at the same time which was great. I remember watching your delivery video bawling my eyes out. I am so glad you talk about PPD so much because it's important. I suffered from it and had horrible intrusive thoughts which made it even worse. I'm so thankful that at 2 weeks in I told my doctor that I needed to get back on medication. Thanks for advocating about speaking up and not suffering in silence. 🙏 Sending hugs from GA 💜
I'm about 14 weeks into my first pregnancy and chiropractic has helped with my round ligament pain SO much!! Definitely recommend if you want relief for that and low back pain👌
Definitely think there is a huge identity and life shift from 0-1. I’ve seen it described as “matrescence” or the transformation into motherhood. Learning how to balance all the invisible load of motherhood, caring for someone else and trying to care for yourself, caring for your marriage, the way your friendships change, your body changing, figuring out who you are as a parent. It really does holistically change you as a person! And my daughter (my first) was very colicky with food allergies (wouldn’t take amino formula 😭) and colitis so that really took so, so much out of me.
Praying this pregnancy is smooth and enjoyable for you and your whole family! So excited for your little crew to grow and add another baby B to the mix 🥰
Love this. I am newer to you (found you this last year) and I love hearing your story of pregnancy the first time too. I also have 2 kiddos and had 2 different deliveries. Thank you for sharing. Congrats to you and your Family. Oh, my boys are 5yrs apart, it’s all so Beautiful. Enjoy💛
I'm not having babies, but I just love watching your videos.. wish nothing more than you to have a beautiful pregnancy and I'm along for the journey.. God bless ❤❤❤
PLEASE share who you are watching for video on YT rn! When you announced you were pregnant I had just recently experienced my second miscarriage in a row and we would have shared a due date. I am so happy for you and excited for you to share what is going on. As of today, I am 6 weeks along with my 3rd pregnancy and I am giving all my doubts and fears to god this time around and trying to embrace the happiness of the unknown so I am binging happy videos and would love to ad some to my playlist :)
I’m soooo happy you made this video! I’m 31 about to be 32 in January. I’m pregnant with my second and there is a 6 year gap between both pregnancy’s. I’m 29 weeks now and WOAH! First pregnancy was a walk in the park. I had 0 symptoms. And now!? A walk in Jurassic Park! Morning sickness, nausea was horrible, throwing up, headaches, dizziness.. the works. I’m now feeling a lot better but the nausea lasted a while. I’ve been looking for pregnancy skin care and when I read the title, I got excited! ❤️ congratulations and THANK YOU for this video!!
I'm on my 3rd pregnancy n I'm almost 39 weeks n way different from the last n 1st. I did took progesterone for the 2nd n this one too is a hassle specially cuz I also dealing with breast issues since I got pregnant till now we'll see how our breastfeeding journey goes but thankful is not cancer 🙏 Well congratulations 🎊 I'm so happy for you guys
I had 2 very difficult pregnancies and was loosing weight during both. I had very bad postpartum blues for both. I thank God my mom was still alive and she helped me so much. A difficult journey but beautiful results. Both are young adults and time heals the difficult memories. So excited Gigi will be a big sister!
I had morning/day/night sickness for the entire first six months of my second pregnancy and I LOVED/ADORED being pregnant and I went to almost 42 weeks and I could’ve kept going, being pregnant was the most precious time of my life!💗💙
I'm 19 weeks with our 3rd (1st is an angel baby) so we are pretty close in our pregnancy. So excited for y'all! We are happy to be able to expand our lil family.
I’m currently 25 weeks pregnant with our first child! We’re having a baby girl!!! I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and it makes me happy to learn a bit more from you!!! Skincare has been the most difficult for me so far, I feel so lost on what I can/can’t buy on my face 😭😭
Dear Jessica, congratulations your baby! Thank you for sharing so much. As a mother of 2 (now Teens) who suffered with extremely bad post postpartum depression the first time around, I chose to go on the meds as soon as I could after the second one. I did not want to risk even getting anywhere near the " the black hole of depression" , so it was preventative. I wish I would have gotten help sooner with my first. And it was not even my obgyn who helped me. I think there is still so much misinformation and stigma and shame with this. We need to get keep talking about it!
We just had baby #2 a month ago (unmedicated vbac!) After baby #1 I *thought* I didn't like the postpartum period (due to a lot of feeding complications) but with this babe it has been SO much better! Of course it's hard in a different way with 2 but I think this transition of going from 1-2 has been much easier on me than going from 0-1 babes.
I like these updates. My husband and I are expecting our first baby next year end of June. I am about 10 weeks along and feeling great. We are excited to start thinking about the nursery and what we want on our baby registry.
Hey Ivy 👋! 12 weeks here! I’m so happy for you that you’re feeling great and a little jealous at the same time lol. I feel like trash.. I hope it gets better soon. 😩
I’m 8 weeks today with my first 🎉 and I so love being able to watch you go through this and gleaning all your wisdom. The anxiety around pregnancy is definitely something I’ve battled. My husband is so incredible sweet and told me one day I was freaking out “Dear, life was created. Let’s celebrate every day we have and the Lord will get us through whatever comes up.” Praying for a wonderful rest of your pregnancy 💕
Jessica, you’re a breath of fresh air lol I mean it’s always so nice to watch your videos and hearing you talk about all the baby, even the hard parts, you do it so gracefully :) Lot’s of luck, health and peace in this pregnancy and for the afterwards ❤️
Jessica, I love what you are saying in this video. Everything is so true and relatable! I had a really hard time transitioning from no kids to one kid. I asked for help way too late because I kept questioning if I actually had PPD. Thank you for talking about all these important topics. I have felt alone for the past 18 months because every mom I talk to is super happy and transitioned so well to motherhood. It made me feel ashamed and defective.
Such a great video! I climbed up and down our stairs as a work out 😊 and yes, Pitocin increases the intensity of the contractions. It makes each contraction more forceful.
I think that having the second baby is more manageable because you and your husband have learned who you are as parents. After you have figured out baby care and evolving needs of an infant, you also figure out how you do parenting. That makes SUCH a big difference, at least it did for me. The third baby was even easier.
Thanks for sharing your timeframe TTC. It makes others feel not so alone. We started trying in 2018. We stopped ovulation tests during covid bc it was already a stressful time. The stress of ovulation tests and everything else is overwhelming. We will probably see a fertility doc in 2022. Waiting for my deductible to restart in Jan because it’s a lot of money and it’s the end of the year so might as well try to meet the deductible next year. Ah, the American health system
We've been trying for a year and are also waiting until January to see a fertility specialist because of the way deductibles fall. Gotta love the healthcare system. 🙃
So encouraging to see someone else with a SCH! I’m 17+5 with my first baby and had one around 8 weeks that our doctors told us we were miscarrying to then see baby was fine on the ultrasound the following Monday. It is so scary & we were so terrified, but it’s great to see a mom with a baby who went through that and to know your baby is 3.5 & healthy now!
I’m in week 23 and because of the placenta location (anterior) I’m finally starting to feel flutters. So exciting to be on this journey with you and this community.
It's so crazy how stress/trauma during the pregnancy and/or birth can contribute to PPD. I had no idea because my first pregnancy/birth was very routine. My 2nd was very stressful and high risk and I definitely had PPD that time. I had a hard time bonding with my baby too. It sucked. I wish more people would talk about that kind of stuff! Prayers for a safe/happy pregnancy and delivery for you and baby! Congrats mama! ❤️
Hi Jessica- I don't know if I've commented before but wow I just appreciate how down-to-earth and honest you are. I've never had a baby but I'd like to someday, and I just watched your video about postpartum after your daughter and it was so encouraging. You don't fear-monger, but rather you speak the truth in a loving and encouraging way. I hope to watch it again when I'm pregnant so then I can remember not to feel anxious. You're like an encouraging but sister. Thanks and blessings to you and your family.
I started following you when you were pregnant with Gigi, it’s just so exciting to see you grow your family as you’ve tell you wanted. Sending tons of love 🥺❤️
God love you! I did the same thing with my postpartum. My babies are 17 and 19 now, so long time ago. But I was so lucky to have a group of friends that talked about it and recognized that I was struggling. I went on meds immediately after the second. I love that you talk about it. You have such a way about you that it feels like you're talking to a close friend. Love it all.
I found pregnancy, giving birth and the post partum period quite traumatic so normally I avoid these videos, but yours are the ones I make an exception for. The way you talk about your experience makes me feel validated, not only that I'm so happy for you all, you can see the love and excitement that both you and Tyler feel (yes, there's totally a parasocial relationship going on on my end 😂).
PS: my "morning" sickness lasted from 3-4 weeks until 16 weeks 😩. I had to tell everyone early because of it and my GP very reluctantly gave me some medicine only after it got so bad I couldn't even make it into work (and since I was on a zero hours contract, that meant zero pay).
So excited for you Jess 💗 I’m early in my first pregnancy, and it’s so cool to hear your updates and wisdom from your first compared to your second as I begin this journey. It had been a while since I watched TH-cam regularly but it’s so nice to hear from a familiar person 💗 wishing the best for you, baby 2, and Tyler/Gigi
Omg Jes! The belly button thing with Gigi is one of the CUTEST things I’ve ever heard! I LOVE that so much!! Again, congrats! My whole family is so excited for you guys. I talk to my husband all the time about you snd Tyler, so he’s very familiar with you guys. He sees me watching you while I’m doing dishes, etc and he’ll walk by snd say, “that’s Jessica, right? She’s the one we got the taco meat recipe from?” And I’m like, “yup 😁”. 😂😂😂
I've been subscribed to your channel for quite a while & would always pass up these pregnancy videos.. But now that I'm pregnant I'm like "I know someone who's opinion I trust" so now I've got a whole series of your's to watch 😁
I’m so excited for you. I loved this video. We’re not having any more babies but it’s fun to listen to you and relive the excitement. I didn’t love being pregnant but I had HG and was so, so sick the whole time with both kids. I didn’t gain weight so that’s nice but I don’t wish 9 months of extreme all day sickness on anyone.
I so enjoy watching you and watching your journey as your family grows. We have three children and I remember feeling the same way about how we will manage 2 over one and then three over two. One of my close friends gave me the best advice and I now pass it on to everyone that is going through a life change. She told me “it becomes your new normal”. Which is so true. Every life change has it’s struggles and the transition period but then comes a time that you think wow- I can’t believe I used to worry about that.
im currently 35 weeks pregnant with my second child and its a 10 year gap difference !! i couldnt wait for this video from you! 😀 this pregnancy was completely different than my first . so many different and updated technology and toys and EVERYTHING! crazy Lol
So excited for you!! We are pregnant with baby #3 after two miscarriages earlier in the year and due the first week of May, so not too far behind you. 🤗 Have loved your channel for years and looking forward to following along on this journey of yours as well. Many congrats again on this new chapter.
I was so nauseas for the first 19 weeks of my pregnancy. 😩 then I had one good week, then my blood pressure started bottoming out with the least bit of activity. My doctor didn’t think it was an issue because “my skin didn’t look dehydrated” (I was wearing a mask, how could they tell?!). It wasn’t just the awful feeling that I was experiencing all day every day, but the quarantine isolation & loneliness was compounding the experience and my overall mental health. (That’s largely why I left my OB’s office. They just couldn’t be bothered.)
Giiirl same I'm 14 weeks with my second baby - my first being 7 years ago! Soooo Im terrified I forgot it all😅 but I'm so glad I found your videos! Love your vibe - it's so my speed so I'm here for your energy lol
I ended up loving going to my pregnancy specialist because it always made me feel better about my pregnancy because they checked everything. I had to go every week to my normal doctor and my specialist. I had a full photo album of ultrasounds by the end.
Excited to see your vlogs again. It was a godsend last year when we couldn't really get out. Hope your pregnancy and delivery is everything wonderful. You are such a joy to watch.
My oldest is just a few months older than Gigi and my second is 2.5 now. I can tell you that going from 0-1 is WAY harder than 1-2, and my daughter was only 15 months old when I was transitioning to two kids (two in diapers, two taking bottles and pacifiers, etc.) which made it even more difficult than it will be for you. Gigi is old enough that she'll be so much help and can definitely understand that you need to take care of baby sometimes. I think the age gap is going to be so wonderful!
First time mama 23 weeks pregnant with twin boys! I’m excited to hear your advice and follow along with you in your second pregnancy as I navigate through my first. Congrats snd wishing you the best!
My youngest (and last) is 2 months old today and this makes me miss being pregnant. I was one of the weird crazy ladies that LOVES being pregnant despite all the swelling, pains, difficulty getting around, nausea, etc. Still love it. Enjoy what you can, don't feel bad if you're not enjoying it, and remember you and Tyler are already awesome parents so this new baby is in good hands.
Such a great update! It’s exciting to see you feeling so much better than first time around. Enjoy the holiday season as you all prepare for this new baby! Congratulations 🎉
Going through and watching your pregnancy videos, helping me tremendously. This is my 3rd pregnancy, but I miscarried twice before. However I'm at week 14 now, so I'm feeling a bit more confident. Thanks for being so transparent as always, I know this is an older video but I hope you see this and know you help a lot of women.
Both my boys came at 38 weeks on their own. My heart when you said you were induced at 41 😩 you’re a trooper mama. I can’t imagine having gone 3 more weeks! I’m expecting #3 (our girl!) now and due same time as you!!
You're doing great, Jess!! As a disabled nurse the "poor organization" you described is very upsetting. They made a huge error that could have ended... really badly. For those who don't know, the baby could have died! Then, not letting you know they planned to put Gigi in the NICU. Sadly, my bet is they did/didn't do some other things as well. I'm sorry you had that experience. Trust YOUR instincts when it comes to taking Lexapro after delivery. You can not go on it; you can go on it immediately; you could wait for symptoms and call your doctor if you have them; or you could get the script and fill it immediately and take it if you start any symptoms. The biggest thing I would tell myself if I could go back in time is 1) There's nothing wrong with asking questions!! As a nurse I encouraged questions and was happy to answer any and all questions. There really aren't any stupid questions. 2) Trust your own instincts!!
I really enjoyed listening to you chatter, you are more like you use to be and just so happy. I’m as excited for this new little bundle as I was with GiGi. I think y’all are a precious couple and love your family. God bless you
I love your makeup in this! So pretty and natural. Also, v excited for more regular pregnancy content. I'm really happy for you all and your new addition!
I was miserable toward the end of my 2nd pregnancy, but... knowing that was my last pregnancy/child I miss it 😢. And my second was during the pandemic and I was a wfh so I didn't get the joy of others/coworkers seeing me during my pregnancy. Oh, and my first pregnancy was right along side of you and Gigi and I miss that, 😘
I am super suffering from morning sickness rn, and cant tell anybody yet 😭 just started taking VB6 and folic acid. ima go buy magnesium later today thanks to you, headache is bad too 😩 i was just complaining to my husband that for this bad of a morning sickness this baby better come out healthy and super gorgeous lol. i cant even enjoy food, coffee, perfume and makeup thats all i love. but im lucky my first born is super good girl (3 years and 3 months now) 💕
My daughter was pregnant 4 times in two years. Sound impossible but t her first baby was stillborn at 28 wks, the 2nd was a miscarriage at 10 wks. The next 2 were born and are my beautiful 16 & 14 yr old grandkids. All that being said, I knew every time she was pregnant because she had very vivid, odd dreams about food!!🥰🥰
Continued prayers for a healthy pregnancy journey! I so appreciate your willingness to share! Can't wait to find out what you are having! Also VERY excited to have vlogs back WITH COMMENTS! BEST news so far this holiday season!
Thank you for being very vulnerable during (most if not all but especially) this video. We’re the same age and I’ve had such a fertility journey. We should be doing IVF in the next several months. I appreciate all the info you are willing to share. Thank you so much ❣️ I love your beauty and fertility videos (and the TylerTV Disney vlogs). Love you for sharing💗
Your videos never even seem as long as they are, I think I could sit and watch you all day long! I have 4 kids right now, all 3 of my oldest are like 3 years apart and my youngest is 11 years apart from my previous. I have a 19yo daughter who doesn't live with us, a 16yo daughter, a 13yo son who is blind and requires a lot of my attention, and now we have our 2yo daughter. I think one of the main reasons I waited so long is because of my son's disabilities and not knowing if I could still be there for him and a new baby. But now that she's 2yo I am even thinking about having 1 more so that she has someone closer in age to grow up with, the only thing that scares me a bit is that I just turned 35yo and the older you get the harder pregnancy is on your body, which I definitely found out 2 years ago when my lower body was swollen from like the 2nd trimester on and nothing I did helped! I hope you had a great appointment and everything is ok with your new bundle of joy!
Jessica you are the funniest and most entertaining TH-camr! I so enjoy your videos and as soon as one comes out I watch it. You provide such real and useful information on so many day to day rational subjects. You have also turned me into a Sephora Rouge and I will soon need to turn my art studio into my makeup room!😊😅😂. Seriously you are glowing since you became pregnant. Pregnancy looks good on you! You are an awesome mommy and you cracked me up with the talking into your bellybutton to the baby! How cute and funny was that?! I wish you and Tyler and Gigi a wonderful holiday season and a happy and healthy pregnancy and delivery and new addition to your family. Oh and also the same for Pinocchio. We can’t forget him! Happy holidays guys!😊💖🎄🤶🏻🎅🏻🙏🏻🎚🐶⛄️❄️
Jess I am a 52 year old married lady wtih no children, I am not a fan of Disney, I am not into make up yet here I am peeking into your life with seemingly nothing in common yet I watch all your vidoes through to the end. Your authenticity, kindness and vulnerbaility is enganging and a testament to the bonds that can be forged over technology and across a generation. I am routing for you and your growing family.
beautifully said!
I love this ☺️ and totally agree
I’m a 68 year old retired grandma who has been following Jessica for a couple years now and although I have nothing in common (except I still LOVE makeup and Jessica has influenced ALOT of my purchases, haha) I am still very entertained by her beautiful little family and life. God bless you Jessica and baby to be and GiGi and Tyler too! Love your little family!🥰
And I forgot to say my youngest daughter is pregnant and due same time as Jessica-so that’s exciting too!
This video gave me vibes from the good old days of Jessica sitting in her bedroom at her parents house making videos YEARS ago! Wow has time flown😭
Me too. Love it.
Jess, two years later and I’m watching your videos! I’m a FTM and your videos have been super duper helpful and entertaining to watch!
It's so refreshing to hear youtubers mention that it took them a while to conceive. We've been trying for over a year now for a first baby and it so tough, literally feels like everyone is having babies sometimes and it's just not happening for us. I think before you start trying, a lot of people are just under the impression it happens immediately because not enough people mention take about the struggles. Love to everyone here dealing with similar!
Kinda weird to comment that? Just a little weird. Like your more happy knowing others struggle too. Ahhhh not a fan
@@Abcdefghijajajaja what a strange reply. No not at all...it's just that a lot of people on social media try to make out they live a perfect life/don't struggle with anything and it makes others feel bad that they don't have a 'perfect life', even if it isn't real. It's nice when people don't do that and aren't fake. Have a nice day 🙂
This is so comforting. After a few months I’ve felt discouraged so it’s good to not feel alone. I hope you get your blessing soon! ❤️
@@nadiajuarez4763 thank you Nadia, you too ❤
I’m 15 weeks pregnant with twins after three miscarriages. I haven’t really looked up pregnancy-related videos. But I’ve been watching you for years, Jessica, so I already know and trust you, and I really appreciate videos like this from you! 💕 I’m so excited for you, Tyler and Gigi.
Yes! Ask your doctor questions. I am a nurse and I love when patients ask questions! It helps us know what you are thinking about and need. There is so much to cover and some patients have done a lot of research and made up their minds about things and we want to be respectful and not be teaching them about something they are already set on.

Congrats on a your second trimester! I also experienced a 1st trimester loss, and I can only imagine what it would be like to go through it more than once. I know the worry is probably still in the back of your mind, but it’s very encouraging that you’ve made it this far. Just take it day at a time & try to focus on 1 thing each day that’s going well.

Very best wishes for a happy delivery. Good luck!
Good luck and blessings to you!
I'm praying for you and the blessing you are carrying. If you aren't religious I understand and don't want to push my religion on you. So I will also put some good vibes out there too. 😊 may you have a beautiful healthy baby.
Congratulations! ❤❤❤
All my kids have a 4 year age gap (I have 4 total) I think it’s a great age gap! You get a lot of individual time with each child because the older one starts school around that time. Even though my oldest is 12 years older than my youngest they all get along well!
The egg cooking story is hilarious ! 😂😂😂
So excited for you! I'm 25 weeks today with my first after 3 years of trying and a miscarriage. Thank you for sharing your journey! Sending positive vibes for a continued happy and healthy pregnancy!
I had post partum depression with my first child. I was 31. I wanted children. I wanted to be a mom. I think the realization that you have a tiny human that will depend on you for life is a dramatic change. I didn’t have a problem with my second.
I love your Vlogmas! My children have watched and they quoted Tyler’s Watching the garden groooow segment! Lol!
I'm not one to comment, but I have to say when you said, "it's okay to ask questions" I started to cry. I'm going through my first pregnancy and am seeing an MFM due to an autoimmune disease and I'm just plain scared. There's so much to think about and hearing someone say "it's okay" to ask questions is such a relief. I'm in the same mindset of "oh I don't want to be a burden" but I've never done this before! So hearing someone else say that it's okay is really comforting, so thank you.
Im 21 weeks pregnant and still feel the nausea
You have been lucky to get rid of nausea at 8 weeks!
I'm 36 and a First Time Mom at 34 weeks. I'm feeling all the emotions of becoming a momma. Jessica I have so much love for u, your videos always put me in a good mood and I'm so happy for you, Tyler and Gigi! ❤ Tyler is such an amazing husband making and bringing u breakfast, he's such a Gem! I look forward to more of these pregnancy update videos!
I’m so happy you’re doing pregnancy updates! I’ve been watching your videos regularly for the past 2 years I think, and now I’m pregnant for the first time and it’s so nice to see someone I trust and watch for years being pregnant at the same time, it’s very comforting. I’m maybe a month or so behind you. Thank you Jess it really feels like I have a pregnant friend with me ❤️
Get the ALWAYS DISCREET 360 (the one that looks like underwear with the purple bow on it). You can layer it with an overnight pad too. It's SO COMFY, like a pillowy undies and protective.
I am kinda opposite I loved the transition to parenthood, but am so anxious about adding another. I am so worried about not having enough of me to go around and trying to juggle it all without losing the enjoyment in the chaos
My motto has always been: low expectations are the key to happiness! Good luck!
My second baby was a breeze , I was more confident and in control. I knew how to handle taking care of him, my first one was a learning experience and a hard one. Praying for a healthy baby and that all goes well. Take care ❤️🙏🏼
Currently not pregnant but we were pregnant together when you had Gigi. I had the worst morning sickness! I also work EMS and that didn’t help 😂
I'm 8 and a half weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby, I'm feeling so sick and exhausted and lots of hip and lower back pain!
Congratulations on your pregnancy, you look fantastic 💞
Congratulations! It is awesome to hear you trusting your own instincts as a Mama, that's really where it's at. I wanted to share that when I was pregnant with my second child, my son was about 2 and a half and I read him "Sophie and the New Baby" by Albert Whtman all the time. He loved it and it's all about a sibling waiting while Mama's belly grows (which takes forever!) and then the baby is a total bummer-crying and lying about-before she learns to smile and play. It's really great.
Jessica, I'm so excited for y'all! My son Ty is 3 months younger than GiGi so we were pregnant at the same time which was great. I remember watching your delivery video bawling my eyes out. I am so glad you talk about PPD so much because it's important. I suffered from it and had horrible intrusive thoughts which made it even worse. I'm so thankful that at 2 weeks in I told my doctor that I needed to get back on medication. Thanks for advocating about speaking up and not suffering in silence. 🙏 Sending hugs from GA 💜
It’s crazy how much has changed since being pregnant in 2017, it doesn’t feel like that long ago but so much has changed!
I'm about 14 weeks into my first pregnancy and chiropractic has helped with my round ligament pain SO much!! Definitely recommend if you want relief for that and low back pain👌
Definitely think there is a huge identity and life shift from 0-1. I’ve seen it described as “matrescence” or the transformation into motherhood. Learning how to balance all the invisible load of motherhood, caring for someone else and trying to care for yourself, caring for your marriage, the way your friendships change, your body changing, figuring out who you are as a parent. It really does holistically change you as a person! And my daughter (my first) was very colicky with food allergies (wouldn’t take amino formula 😭) and colitis so that really took so, so much out of me.
Great words! That balance is so hard to find, and changes as the baby and you do.
Praying this pregnancy is smooth and enjoyable for you and your whole family! So excited for your little crew to grow and add another baby B to the mix 🥰
Love this. I am newer to you (found you this last year) and I love hearing your story of pregnancy the first time too. I also have 2 kiddos and had 2 different deliveries. Thank you for sharing. Congrats to you and your Family. Oh, my boys are 5yrs apart, it’s all so Beautiful. Enjoy💛
I 💯 agree 0 to first kid is the absolute hardest (especially when you’re the first in your group)
I'm not having babies, but I just love watching your videos.. wish nothing more than you to have a beautiful pregnancy and I'm along for the journey.. God bless ❤❤❤
PLEASE share who you are watching for video on YT rn! When you announced you were pregnant I had just recently experienced my second miscarriage in a row and we would have shared a due date. I am so happy for you and excited for you to share what is going on.
As of today, I am 6 weeks along with my 3rd pregnancy and I am giving all my doubts and fears to god this time around and trying to embrace the happiness of the unknown so I am binging happy videos and would love to ad some to my playlist :)
Tart cherry juice with tonic water for constipation was the best thing for me!
I love when your videos are long, makes me happy I like hearing your advise, I’m looking up stuff constantly right now. Trust me it’s not too long
I’m soooo happy you made this video! I’m 31 about to be 32 in January. I’m pregnant with my second and there is a 6 year gap between both pregnancy’s. I’m 29 weeks now and WOAH! First pregnancy was a walk in the park. I had 0 symptoms. And now!? A walk in Jurassic Park! Morning sickness, nausea was horrible, throwing up, headaches, dizziness.. the works. I’m now feeling a lot better but the nausea lasted a while. I’ve been looking for pregnancy skin care and when I read the title, I got excited! ❤️ congratulations and THANK YOU for this video!!
I’m literally dying at a walk in Jurassic park. I’m so sorry you’re having a rough time, but that’s a hilarious way to phrase it
We call the runny egg in the middle of the bread that you cut a circle in, eggs in a basket. Love them!
I'm on my 3rd pregnancy n I'm almost 39 weeks n way different from the last n 1st. I did took progesterone for the 2nd n this one too is a hassle specially cuz I also dealing with breast issues since I got pregnant till now we'll see how our breastfeeding journey goes but thankful is not cancer 🙏
Well congratulations 🎊 I'm so happy for you guys
I had 2 very difficult pregnancies and was loosing weight during both. I had very bad postpartum blues for both. I thank God my mom was still alive and she helped me so much. A difficult journey but beautiful results. Both are young adults and time heals the difficult memories. So excited Gigi will be a big sister!
I had morning/day/night sickness for the entire first six months of my second pregnancy and I LOVED/ADORED being pregnant and I went to almost 42 weeks and I could’ve kept going, being pregnant was the most precious time of my life!💗💙
I had bad morning sickness and unisom and b6 helped a ton!
I'm 19 weeks with our 3rd (1st is an angel baby) so we are pretty close in our pregnancy. So excited for y'all! We are happy to be able to expand our lil family.
I’m currently 25 weeks pregnant with our first child! We’re having a baby girl!!! I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and it makes me happy to learn a bit more from you!!! Skincare has been the most difficult for me so far, I feel so lost on what I can/can’t buy on my face 😭😭
Dear Jessica, congratulations your baby! Thank you for sharing so much. As a mother of 2 (now Teens) who suffered with extremely bad post postpartum depression the first time around, I chose to go on the meds as soon as I could after the second one. I did not want to risk even getting anywhere near the " the black hole of depression" , so it was preventative. I wish I would have gotten help sooner with my first. And it was not even my obgyn who helped me. I think there is still so much misinformation and stigma and shame with this. We need to get keep talking about it!
We just had baby #2 a month ago (unmedicated vbac!) After baby #1 I *thought* I didn't like the postpartum period (due to a lot of feeding complications) but with this babe it has been SO much better! Of course it's hard in a different way with 2 but I think this transition of going from 1-2 has been much easier on me than going from 0-1 babes.
I had an unmediated VBAC with my second too! Congrats!!!
I like these updates. My husband and I are expecting our first baby next year end of June. I am about 10 weeks along and feeling great. We are excited to start thinking about the nursery and what we want on our baby registry.
Hey Ivy 👋! 12 weeks here! I’m so happy for you that you’re feeling great and a little jealous at the same time lol. I feel like trash.. I hope it gets better soon. 😩
I’m 8 weeks today with my first 🎉 and I so love being able to watch you go through this and gleaning all your wisdom. The anxiety around pregnancy is definitely something I’ve battled. My husband is so incredible sweet and told me one day I was freaking out “Dear, life was created. Let’s celebrate every day we have and the Lord will get us through whatever comes up.” Praying for a wonderful rest of your pregnancy 💕
I love that I know things can go wrong but I made it to the other side and I get so much comfort from that!
Jessica, you’re a breath of fresh air lol
I mean it’s always so nice to watch your videos and hearing you talk about all the baby, even the hard parts, you do it so gracefully :)
Lot’s of luck, health and peace in this pregnancy and for the afterwards ❤️
Jessica, I love what you are saying in this video. Everything is so true and relatable! I had a really hard time transitioning from no kids to one kid. I asked for help way too late because I kept questioning if I actually had PPD.
Thank you for talking about all these important topics. I have felt alone for the past 18 months because every mom I talk to is super happy and transitioned so well to motherhood. It made me feel ashamed and defective.
I can’t believe no one has asked: has Tyler been stocking up on beans and meatloafs? Lol 😂
Lmao I just did too! But really though! Inquiring minds want to know!
Ahh yes the important questions 🤣
Such a great video! I climbed up and down our stairs as a work out 😊 and yes, Pitocin increases the intensity of the contractions. It makes each contraction more forceful.
I think that having the second baby is more manageable because you and your husband have learned who you are as parents. After you have figured out baby care and evolving needs of an infant, you also figure out how you do parenting. That makes SUCH a big difference, at least it did for me. The third baby was even easier.
19:45 PPPPPPPPPPPPPREACH MAMA!!!!! Louder. That is such great advise, thank you!
Thanks for sharing your timeframe TTC. It makes others feel not so alone. We started trying in 2018. We stopped ovulation tests during covid bc it was already a stressful time. The stress of ovulation tests and everything else is overwhelming. We will probably see a fertility doc in 2022. Waiting for my deductible to restart in Jan because it’s a lot of money and it’s the end of the year so might as well try to meet the deductible next year. Ah, the American health system
We've been trying for a year and are also waiting until January to see a fertility specialist because of the way deductibles fall. Gotta love the healthcare system. 🙃
So encouraging to see someone else with a SCH! I’m 17+5 with my first baby and had one around 8 weeks that our doctors told us we were miscarrying to then see baby was fine on the ultrasound the following Monday. It is so scary & we were so terrified, but it’s great to see a mom with a baby who went through that and to know your baby is 3.5 & healthy now!
I’m in week 23 and because of the placenta location (anterior) I’m finally starting to feel flutters. So exciting to be on this journey with you and this community.
It's so crazy how stress/trauma during the pregnancy and/or birth can contribute to PPD. I had no idea because my first pregnancy/birth was very routine. My 2nd was very stressful and high risk and I definitely had PPD that time. I had a hard time bonding with my baby too. It sucked. I wish more people would talk about that kind of stuff!
Prayers for a safe/happy pregnancy and delivery for you and baby! Congrats mama! ❤️
Hi Jessica- I don't know if I've commented before but wow I just appreciate how down-to-earth and honest you are. I've never had a baby but I'd like to someday, and I just watched your video about postpartum after your daughter and it was so encouraging. You don't fear-monger, but rather you speak the truth in a loving and encouraging way. I hope to watch it again when I'm pregnant so then I can remember not to feel anxious. You're like an encouraging but sister. Thanks and blessings to you and your family.
I started following you when you were pregnant with Gigi, it’s just so exciting to see you grow your family as you’ve tell you wanted. Sending tons of love 🥺❤️
God love you! I did the same thing with my postpartum. My babies are 17 and 19 now, so long time ago. But I was so lucky to have a group of friends that talked about it and recognized that I was struggling. I went on meds immediately after the second. I love that you talk about it. You have such a way about you that it feels like you're talking to a close friend. Love it all.
I found pregnancy, giving birth and the post partum period quite traumatic so normally I avoid these videos, but yours are the ones I make an exception for. The way you talk about your experience makes me feel validated, not only that I'm so happy for you all, you can see the love and excitement that both you and Tyler feel (yes, there's totally a parasocial relationship going on on my end 😂).
PS: my "morning" sickness lasted from 3-4 weeks until 16 weeks 😩. I had to tell everyone early because of it and my GP very reluctantly gave me some medicine only after it got so bad I couldn't even make it into work (and since I was on a zero hours contract, that meant zero pay).
I know this was probably recorded a few days ago but praying the scan showed all is well ❤️
So excited for you Jess 💗 I’m early in my first pregnancy, and it’s so cool to hear your updates and wisdom from your first compared to your second as I begin this journey. It had been a while since I watched TH-cam regularly but it’s so nice to hear from a familiar person 💗 wishing the best for you, baby 2, and Tyler/Gigi
Omg Jes! The belly button thing with Gigi is one of the CUTEST things I’ve ever heard! I LOVE that so much!! Again, congrats! My whole family is so excited for you guys. I talk to my husband all the time about you snd Tyler, so he’s very familiar with you guys. He sees me watching you while I’m doing dishes, etc and he’ll walk by snd say, “that’s Jessica, right? She’s the one we got the taco meat recipe from?” And I’m like, “yup 😁”. 😂😂😂
I've been subscribed to your channel for quite a while & would always pass up these pregnancy videos.. But now that I'm pregnant I'm like "I know someone who's opinion I trust" so now I've got a whole series of your's to watch 😁
I’m so excited for you. I loved this video. We’re not having any more babies but it’s fun to listen to you and relive the excitement. I didn’t love being pregnant but I had HG and was so, so sick the whole time with both kids. I didn’t gain weight so that’s nice but I don’t wish 9 months of extreme all day sickness on anyone.
I so enjoy watching you and watching your journey as your family grows. We have three children and I remember feeling the same way about how we will manage 2 over one and then three over two.
One of my close friends gave me the best advice and I now pass it on to everyone that is going through a life change. She told me “it becomes your new normal”. Which is so true.
Every life change has it’s struggles and the transition period but then comes a time that you think wow- I can’t believe I used to worry about that.
How cute of Gigi! That's adorable.
Also had my second child at 32. You will be fine. Sending good vibes and peace.
im currently 35 weeks pregnant with my second child and its a 10 year gap difference !! i couldnt wait for this video from you! 😀
this pregnancy was completely different than my first . so many different and updated technology and toys and EVERYTHING! crazy Lol
So excited for you!! We are pregnant with baby #3 after two miscarriages earlier in the year and due the first week of May, so not too far behind you. 🤗 Have loved your channel for years and looking forward to following along on this journey of yours as well. Many congrats again on this new chapter.
I was so nauseas for the first 19 weeks of my pregnancy. 😩 then I had one good week, then my blood pressure started bottoming out with the least bit of activity. My doctor didn’t think it was an issue because “my skin didn’t look dehydrated” (I was wearing a mask, how could they tell?!). It wasn’t just the awful feeling that I was experiencing all day every day, but the quarantine isolation & loneliness was compounding the experience and my overall mental health. (That’s largely why I left my OB’s office. They just couldn’t be bothered.)
Giiirl same I'm 14 weeks with my second baby - my first being 7 years ago! Soooo Im terrified I forgot it all😅 but I'm so glad I found your videos! Love your vibe - it's so my speed so I'm here for your energy lol
So excited for vlogmas!!! I’ve been watching your old ones lately bec it’s just good viiiibes
I ended up loving going to my pregnancy specialist because it always made me feel better about my pregnancy because they checked everything. I had to go every week to my normal doctor and my specialist. I had a full photo album of ultrasounds by the end.
Literally so ready for this video! I’m 23 weeks along, due at the end of March and I am so pumped that we are pregnant at the same time!! 😅🥰
I'd love to see that "stuff I'm replacing/new stuff I am buying" video!
Also, there must be something in that Funfetti cake mix... cuz SAME.
Excited to see your vlogs again. It was a godsend last year when we couldn't really get out. Hope your pregnancy and delivery is everything wonderful. You are such a joy to watch.
My oldest is just a few months older than Gigi and my second is 2.5 now. I can tell you that going from 0-1 is WAY harder than 1-2, and my daughter was only 15 months old when I was transitioning to two kids (two in diapers, two taking bottles and pacifiers, etc.) which made it even more difficult than it will be for you. Gigi is old enough that she'll be so much help and can definitely understand that you need to take care of baby sometimes. I think the age gap is going to be so wonderful!
First time mama 23 weeks pregnant with twin boys! I’m excited to hear your advice and follow along with you in your second pregnancy as I navigate through my first. Congrats snd wishing you the best!
My youngest (and last) is 2 months old today and this makes me miss being pregnant. I was one of the weird crazy ladies that LOVES being pregnant despite all the swelling, pains, difficulty getting around, nausea, etc. Still love it. Enjoy what you can, don't feel bad if you're not enjoying it, and remember you and Tyler are already awesome parents so this new baby is in good hands.
I'm excited to watch, I'm on my second with a 6 year gap 😆 and holy moly the first trimester has been rough.
Such a great update! It’s exciting to see you feeling so much better than first time around. Enjoy the holiday season as you all prepare for this new baby! Congratulations 🎉
I am stoked for vlogmas!! It absolutely makes my day!
Jessica you are so sweet!!! I hope you had a lovely appointment. Wishing you, the baby and your family all the best xxx
I’m 24 and not pregnant but still watched because your videos bring me comfort as I go about my day! Congrats and wish you the best! 💕
Going through and watching your pregnancy videos, helping me tremendously. This is my 3rd pregnancy, but I miscarried twice before. However I'm at week 14 now, so I'm feeling a bit more confident. Thanks for being so transparent as always, I know this is an older video but I hope you see this and know you help a lot of women.
Both my boys came at 38 weeks on their own. My heart when you said you were induced at 41 😩 you’re a trooper mama. I can’t imagine having gone 3 more weeks!
I’m expecting #3 (our girl!) now and due same time as you!!
You're doing great, Jess!!
As a disabled nurse the "poor organization" you described is very upsetting. They made a huge error that could have ended... really badly. For those who don't know, the baby could have died! Then, not letting you know they planned to put Gigi in the NICU. Sadly, my bet is they did/didn't do some other things as well. I'm sorry you had that experience.
Trust YOUR instincts when it comes to taking Lexapro after delivery. You can not go on it; you can go on it immediately; you could wait for symptoms and call your doctor if you have them; or you could get the script and fill it immediately and take it if you start any symptoms. The biggest thing I would tell myself if I could go back in time is 1) There's nothing wrong with asking questions!! As a nurse I encouraged questions and was happy to answer any and all questions. There really aren't any stupid questions. 2) Trust your own instincts!!
This video made my heart so happy❤️ sending prayers for your ultrasound
I really enjoyed listening to you chatter, you are more like you use to be and just so happy. I’m as excited for this new little bundle as I was with GiGi. I think y’all are a precious couple and love your family. God bless you
I love your makeup in this! So pretty and natural. Also, v excited for more regular pregnancy content. I'm really happy for you all and your new addition!
I was miserable toward the end of my 2nd pregnancy, but... knowing that was my last pregnancy/child I miss it 😢. And my second was during the pandemic and I was a wfh so I didn't get the joy of others/coworkers seeing me during my pregnancy. Oh, and my first pregnancy was right along side of you and Gigi and I miss that, 😘
I am super suffering from morning sickness rn, and cant tell anybody yet 😭 just started taking VB6 and folic acid. ima go buy magnesium later today thanks to you, headache is bad too 😩 i was just complaining to my husband that for this bad of a morning sickness this baby better come out healthy and super gorgeous lol.
i cant even enjoy food, coffee, perfume and makeup thats all i love. but im lucky my first born is super good girl (3 years and 3 months now) 💕
My daughter was pregnant 4 times in two years. Sound impossible but t her first baby was stillborn at 28 wks, the 2nd was a miscarriage at 10 wks. The next 2 were born and are my beautiful 16 & 14 yr old grandkids. All that being said, I knew every time she was pregnant because she had very vivid, odd dreams about food!!🥰🥰
Continued prayers for a healthy pregnancy journey! I so appreciate your willingness to share! Can't wait to find out what you are having! Also VERY excited to have vlogs back WITH COMMENTS! BEST news so far this holiday season!
Thank you for being very vulnerable during (most if not all but especially) this video. We’re the same age and I’ve had such a fertility journey. We should be doing IVF in the next several months. I appreciate all the info you are willing to share. Thank you so much ❣️ I love your beauty and fertility videos (and the TylerTV Disney vlogs). Love you for sharing💗
Your videos never even seem as long as they are, I think I could sit and watch you all day long! I have 4 kids right now, all 3 of my oldest are like 3 years apart and my youngest is 11 years apart from my previous. I have a 19yo daughter who doesn't live with us, a 16yo daughter, a 13yo son who is blind and requires a lot of my attention, and now we have our 2yo daughter. I think one of the main reasons I waited so long is because of my son's disabilities and not knowing if I could still be there for him and a new baby. But now that she's 2yo I am even thinking about having 1 more so that she has someone closer in age to grow up with, the only thing that scares me a bit is that I just turned 35yo and the older you get the harder pregnancy is on your body, which I definitely found out 2 years ago when my lower body was swollen from like the 2nd trimester on and nothing I did helped! I hope you had a great appointment and everything is ok with your new bundle of joy!
Jessica you are the funniest and most entertaining TH-camr! I so enjoy your videos and as soon as one comes out I watch it. You provide such real and useful information on so many day to day rational subjects. You have also turned me into a Sephora Rouge and I will soon need to turn my art studio into my makeup room!😊😅😂. Seriously you are glowing since you became pregnant. Pregnancy looks good on you! You are an awesome mommy and you cracked me up with the talking into your bellybutton to the baby! How cute and funny was that?! I wish you and Tyler and Gigi a wonderful holiday season and a happy and healthy pregnancy and delivery and new addition to your family. Oh and also the same for Pinocchio. We can’t forget him! Happy holidays guys!😊💖🎄🤶🏻🎅🏻🙏🏻🎚🐶⛄️❄️
My 2 children are 9 years apart. It felt like a 1st time pregnancy with so much more products than my first child. BIG difference!
