I like this way of doing a pregnancy transformation. I like that she says how's she's feeling and noticing what has changed as she progresses.

If you’re still overproducing milk, you can donate extra breast milk to a lot of hospitals! It’s used when mother’s are having trouble producing enough milk, for babies going to adoptive mothers, etc. Idk if those programs have been changed because of covid, but it’s worth looking into!
That’s a really good idea
So true! My friend was a "super producer" and donated her extra milk to a baby in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Yes! I agree! Give it a little more time, but if you end up with an oversupply, please consider donation. I donated over 50L of milk with my first baby & it’s one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done x
Never heard of this! Such a good idea. Wonder if done in UK. Not a mother just thought it sounded good and would do it if I produce enough milk
@@jodiewhitham6850 yes there are schemes in the uk, a friend of mine donates her spare milk to NICU.
As someone who absolutely does not want children and hates the idea of pregnancy for myself, I was interested to see how long I'd follow your journey before deciding not to anymore. But it turns out I absolutely loved being able to follow along on the vlog channel and see all those changes with you and to see the absolute joy that Grace is bringing y'all. This video in particular was so informative for anyone watching who DOES want children because you are always so real and open with us. It was such a blessing to be able to follow your journey and I'm so excited to see your love for that beautiful baby girl grow and blossom and to see where this new journey of parenthood takes y'all.
I also don't want kids myself, but there's something pretty special about seeing someone who really wants it and is properly prepared to take on motherhood. It's inspiring in its own way.
omg me too! I hate the idea of having children for myself. I think I would be an absolutely awful parent. But I loved watching Sierra's pregnancy journey, and look forward to seeing her be a mother to Grace. She really wants this and I'm so happy for her.
lol yeah it's kinda weird, I think I want a child at some point, but I don't want kids anytime soon, and even then I feel like I'd rather adopt, but I still like watching these videos for some reason.
@@paurey1691 yessss i love watching videos of people who genuinely want children have them. Too much people are unsafe and just end up "stuck" with a child.
I can’t thank you enough for this kind of content, Sierra. I mean, I love ALL your content, but I went through a miscarriage late last year that had me really doubting my body and fearful of potential future pregnancies, but seeing this breathes new excitement and hope into my life. So thank you! Also, it’s SO beautiful to see you feeling so confident and radiant! You’re amazing!! ♥️
Pregnancy after loss is hard. It's difficult to let go of the fear and anxiety. But it's also so BEAUTIFUL and you end up working towards milestones and savor it more 🥰🥰🥰 Don't be afraid to talk about your fears and feelings with your partner and Dr. Sending you all the Baby Dust 🥰
@@ponchotheunicorn5288 Thank you! You’re so sweet. Therapy has been very helpful and I have a great support system, so we will get there one day, I hope, and I look so forward to savoring every moment. ♥️✨
You're not alone. I went through 2 miscarriages (one missed miscarriage and one spontaneous) and was having doubts I'd have kids. I now have a 3.5 year old and 12 month old. Keep hope, unfortunately pregnancy loss is very common and you'll more than likely have a baby someday. But I'd be lying saying I didn't worry throughout my pregnancies, especially my rainbow baby
@@adelefoster5153 My due date was almost exactly the same as Sierra’s when I miscarried at 12 weeks and 5 days in November last year. I am now 15 weeks pregnant with our rainbow baby. I can honestly say that the therapy I got between my two pregnancies has changed my life. My husband also had therapy. I really haven’t been anxious at all throughout this second pregnancy which I didn’t think would be possible. You’ve got this.
Off topic but your curls are looking GOOOOD!
I’ve been doing this method for 6 years and my hair has never been this nice
@@pizzaroll3778 lmao same!!
I agree
Was thinking the same thing!!!
@@pizzaroll3778 the cut
I just love how she talks about her body. It’s sad to say I really don’t know anyone else that talks like this. Sierra is so inspiring, and she has made me feel so comfortable in my own skin! ❤️
Can’t believe this video is finally here!!! Time FLEW while following your journey😍
i knoooww same!!!
Facts
Anyone else notice how much Sierra’s hair has grown thru this?!
Sooooo long
Well it is almost a year.
Pregnancy does that
Indeed! I'm expecting a video in about 2-3 months though where she addresses extensive hair loss. Nothing extreme, but also a part of post-pregnancy symptoms for many women.
Sierra, I'm not even a minute in, and I already feel like this video was made just for me. I'm a curvy girl, and 28 weeks pregnant at the moment. I have loved seeing how your body progressed as there aren't many examples of curvy girls.
Thank you so much for sharing !
As somebody who doesn't ever want to have kids (biological ones at least and definitely not small children) I could never imagine how somebody would be so happy to go through all of this, but this was an interesting watch even for me and I am beyond happy that another child will have a loving home where they are truly desired. While I still can't relate, I think I understand pregnant women much better! Thanks Sierra!
I totally get you! I felt this way for yearssss and was so sure I’d never want/have kids. But then my sister (who I live with) got pregnant and watching/being a part of my niece’s life who we’ve raised has been the most stressful but beautiful process ever. She’s so amazing and smart. I was just holding her as a new born and now she’s a little sassy diva toddler 🥺❤️. It’s changed my whole view. Now I want one (just one), because I want to experience all of this with my own child and all these beautiful feelings. It’s very stressful so I know I would want 2, 3 or a whole army lol. But I do want to go through the whole process at least once 💕
@@leahmcdermott4189 I'm so glad for you! I actually went through similar thing with my sister though, there's a pretty big age gap between us, and if anything, it made me not want kids even more 😁😁. Hope you have a great experience though, the type that you actually want!
@@elenkonakkk1579 Aww thank you so much! Just out of curiosity, why did it make you not want to have kids even more? 💕
@@leahmcdermott4189 just what my mum had to go through. I'm not big on the idea of risking health of you and your child just to have a biological child when you can adopt. I know it's difficult but pregnancies are too and their twice as scary to me as adoptions (and postpartum is even worse than the pregnancy). I also found out that I have really hard time connecting with babies/toddlers. School age children are good but anything younger is too much for me. Yes, I played with my sister but only when I was in mood. With your own kids you cannot do that. The child will need a close and intimate relationship with its caretaker, otherwise, they'll end up with unfavourable attachment style, which will affect their whole life most likely in a negative way. The struggles they will endure just because parental figure wasn't properly equipped to deal with them in those formative years are not worth having a specific set of genes. Also, making the other parent take care of the child when you're supposed to be coparenting is incredibly shitty in my opinion. Creating so much tension (I had tension with my mum for the first 2-3 years since my sister was born and now, 3 years later, we have just started repairing it) with loved ones + creating a child with mental issues, is not worth it to me. btw, my sister's fine, my parents have great relationship with each other, and since I wasn't my sister's caretaker, my own issues didn't transfer to her. But if I was in my mum's shoes then it would be a totally different picture.
I'm sorry for it to being so long and I don't mean to scare you and I do not mean to shame any type of parent and their parenting style. I understand that not everybody has the privilege. But then again, people who do have the privilege to get info, proper healthcare, etc. should make an educated choice. I'm also biased. I'm majoring in psychology and I specifically intend on focusing my research on children and their environment and relationship between nature and nurture. It would just be morally wrong for me to still have children, whilst knowing my character and my ambitions.
Obviously, everyone's experiences are going to be different and your reasons for and feelings towards having children are totally valid.
@@elenkonakkk1579 Wow, that’s a lot, but I totally understand. Everyone’s entitled to their own feelings and opinions. Sorry, things have been tough for you but even adoption/fostering is great. Whatever you think is best for you, is the best thing to do, no doubt. And if that doesn’t include having your own biological child, that’s perfectly fine. I admire your honesty and self realisation 😌💕
My experience has been very different and now I’m very sure I want to have one child. I would really like to experience it for myself and have a mini me that comes from me & possibly shares some of my own features and personality traits. Though, I have considered adoption and would still consider it. It’s super interesting as I also have a degree in Psychology and another in Mental Health Nursing. Love your bravery and openness! 💕
Thank you SO much for posting this!! I’m a plus size person and currently 30 weeks pregnant, and every pregnancy body video or progression picture series I could find were of tiny pregnant people that just didn’t look anything like me. I really love seeing this and feeling more represented! Thank you for sharing 💕💕
Clicked so fast so I could see Grace's adorable face again. Sierra and Stephen brought such a precious angel into this world🥰🥰♥️
I agree and I have baby fever right now
I gave birth to my daughter Aubrie the same day as baby Grace. When I saw it on Instagram I was so excited haha. My daughter was born at 24 weeks 3 days. She is currently in the NICU and we have a long road ahead of us, but she has been doing well so far. I’m so happy for you and your family! Congratulations and welcome to the world sweet baby Grace.
Those little babies are so strong ! My friends baby was born at 25 weeks I believe and today he’s 9 years old ! Happy healthy sweet little boy !
There are people in this world that are meant to raise a child, be a parent or become a caregiver because their beautiful, bright, compassionate & kind spirit will help to foster a better generation.
It is obvious that you & Stephen are some of those people & I couldn’t be more happy for you both.
Sierra is amazing. She is so smart and takes such a positive approach to herself and her body. I hope lots of young girls are watching her! Wish I had watched her years ago! Congrats Sierra you're going to be an amazing mom!!
the irony of you feeling she was just going to fall out and then knowing your birth story haha beautiful video
I love Sierra’s energy, seeing her and her family always makes me happy. Baby Grace is lucky to have the most amazing parents ever. 💙
Couldn’t click fast enough!!! Yay! So incredibly proud and happy for you Sierra!
I had my son on 6/1 via csection….17 years ago! First week was rough but it did get better. Love that your focus is 100% on healing, snuggling and enjoying motherhood! Much love! ❤️❤️❤️
My mom had me on 6/1 via c-section... 35 yrs ago lol. I'm now 27 wks with my second, and he'll be a c-section 💗
Fun fact about pregnancy: humans and higher primates are pretty much the only species to have such an invasive method of growing a fetus. In other mammals, the blood supply is delivered in an efficient yet non-invasive way, prioritising the health and decisions of the mother's body over the child. Even though some researchers suggest this method could work for humans as well (and makes sense evolutionarily since the mother can always have another baby but a baby can't survive without a mother) we instead got the hemochorial placenta which siphons off the mother's source of nutrition and gives the fetus access to manipulate the mother's hormones which is quite a Darwinian survival method . The competition between mother and child for resources made it more aggressive over evolution as well so the result is an incredibly arduous, difficult pregnancy which can incapacitate the mother (I've also read that genes given to the fetus by the father further exasperate this effect so thanks guys lol). In contrast, other mammals can hunt prey and run from predators absolutely fine throughout pregnancy. Even now, researchers aren't certain why humans have evolved like this and some suspect an evolutionary patch-job (a quick fix basically which has to do with the need to shed the uterine lining every month). So evolution really isn't a perfect process and in our species particularly women really have paid the price for that.
So yeah honestly, fascinating stuff and obviously completely worth it despite the difficulties, given that most of us are fortunate enough to live in a world with good medical care to mitigate risk to life. I just think it's really interesting to learn about the whole process because our bodies are capable of going through so much trauma and healing really quickly afterwards, even after producing a whole other life! But yeah I find it funny now when people talk about how amazing women's bodies are (which they 100% are, don't get me wrong) when nature basically looked at us and went "eh, that'll do".
Edit:
Since I guess quite a few people are reading this I just thought I'd say if you're interested in this kind of thing I'd recommend doing some of your own research since I'm by no means an evolutionary biologist. Here's the article I originally read that got me interested before doing my own reading:
www.boredpanda.com/evolutionary-benefits-of-periods-suzanne-sadedin/
cool
That's really interesting wow
this is so cool, thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you for sharing this!!! I’ve never heard about this before

Hi Sierra! Women's bodies may change during pregnancy but there are a few things that stayed constant during yours...your glow, your positivity and of course, your beauty. Congrats to you guys, she's beautiful 🥰🤗
I wish more videos of mid and plus size pregnancy transformations were out there! I’m a mid size gal 21 weeks pregnant with my first baby and the struggle with body positivity has been so real
Just remember you’re growing an entire human being in there! That’s amazing and beautiful! Your body is amazing and beautiful in any state. 🥰
I am midsized (size 8 US), 5'2", and 37 weeks. I suspect being midsized is kind of ideal: our bodies have energy stores and are accustomed to carrying some "excess" weight, but there is still ample room on our frames to store the growing human. I hope your pregnancy goes smoothly!
Before you said you weren’t going to go on maternity leave I was about to tell you to take some time off! Enjoy your time away from work to live in your baby bubble and soak it all in. We’ll all be here when you get back ❤️
This fills my heart with so much joy for you guys. Welcome to the world, Grace. I pray that this world is kind to you and you achieve your biggest dreams. ❤️
I only take my belly ring out when my belly button pops or if/when it gets uncomfortable.
I’ve had 3 babies!
Do what is comfortable to you, like she said every body is different!
They have plastic extenders for belly rings. I used one for my first son. But with my second son, I just took it out and forgot all about it. lol It has closed since then. That was 13 years ago.
Hello Sierra, I haven’t even watched the video yet but I know it’s going to be beautiful. Congratulations on having a lovely baby girl. I hope you have a nice day and start creating so many memories with Grace and Steven ♥️
I feel blessed that I was able to share in the joy you've got from this pregnancy. Seeing how much more confidant you've got and how much joy your girl has brought you has really lifted my own spirits over the past many months and I thank you so much for sharing that joy and being so open. Enjoy your time off with your new beautiful baby girl. :3
the most genuine, honest soul. sierra, im so excited for your sweet little family. i was here for the miscarriage, the announcement, all the excitement with growing, and fear too. this is so full circle for me! cant wait for some mom content when you get back! enjoy your leave + bonding with baby grace, we love you so much.
THIS MAKES ME SO SO HAPPY!!! Pregnancy is a beautiful thing and I'm so happy you were able to document it
Congratulations! Baby Grace is Adorable! And enjoy your maternity leave. We’ll be here when you come back 💕
Thank you for using inclusive language throughout your update to include pregnant people of all walks. It's really beautiful to hear how naturally you are able to do this :) congrats to you and best wishes
🙇🏾♀️🙇🏾♀️🙇🏾♀️ me patiently waiting for the ads to play all the way through so I can finally watch this lol I’ve loved following along Sierra’s pregnancy journey 🤎
I wish I had done something like this when I was pregnant. With my oldest, I lost 45lb - you read that right. I was 45lb LIGHTER at 9mos pregnant (with a 9lb 5oz baby) than I was when I got pregnant. It was insane, and you NEVER see representations like that. Then I put most of it back on with #2 a year later. It was quite a journey. And the boobs??? Oh, good lord. I had a D-cup when I started, I was an H-cup after... I never saw anything like that in pregnancy bodies being shown...
Good for you for doing this.
This may seem weird but your voice has changed during pregnancy! I noticed the change when I started watching your old vlogs and now I can pin-point it to 16 weeks. I know this sounds crazy haha did anyone else notice!?
Yes! It’s deeper now!
@@swimstud27 thank goodness
yesss I thought it was just me
Yes! I've heard pregnant women's voices can get deeper. And when 8 week Sierra was talking I was like whoa! Her voice has changed lol think it was slow change with all her videos hard to notice. But that is so cool. It's true moms bodies change so so many ways in pregnancy. Not just big belly.
omg yes, I feel like she looks and sounds slightly even more like her own mom now.
This is one of the most amazing videos I’ve even seen. The last photo brought tears to my eyes. I hope I remember to watch this when I eventually experience pregnancy.
In nursing school, they always emphasized how a c-section is major abdominal surgery. Yet most over look it and assume you just bounce back. It takes so much time to recover from, just take it day by day. You got this momma!! ❤️❤️
I’ve been waiting for 9 months for this video! I enjoyed the whole process.
Grace is beautiful
I was a very similar size to Sierra at the start of my pregnancy but I actually lost 2 stone (30lb) during my pregnancy due to severe vomiting and heartburn that lasted the whole pregnancy and also walking a lot because I was saving money so couldn't afford a car. No one could even tell I was pregnant for 8 months.
Same i was 150lb when i got pregnant with my son and lost 30lb my first 4 months of being pregnant I couldn’t stand the smell of food. I would drink water the whole day and eat ice as well.
My t
Yoott
Yooonmkuyuo iiuiyyi you I i
holy shit!!! does your child have heartburn/GERD? my mom was told i’d have acid reflux bc she had heartburn while she was pregnant
Wonderful to see the transformations. having had 2 daughters over 35 years ago, it is easy to forget what a wild and amazing ride pregnancy is. Congratulations to you and Stephen for your wonderful blessing and a big welcome to the world for baby Grace....
Yay I love that you’re posting again! Don’t push yourself too much tho, we love you so much. Thanks for sharing, I’m 6 months pregnant right now and have yet to have the big round tummy, but I feel like watching videos like this help us prepare for all the changes we go through. ❤️❤️❤️
From what she has been saying for a couple months and in this video , this will be her last video until September, she’s not posting again ❤️
I've never been as confident in my body as I was when I was pregnant. It took me a few months after giving birth to even be able to look at my tummy. I'd hide it, wouldn't even look in the mirror. Very grateful for what my body did but still mentally healing from labor and delivery and its been 10 months. So this positivity really helps!
The way that you look stunning at every stage, including postpartum. Thank you for this. I've wondered about what I could look like when I hopefully get pregnant one day. But I feel like I couldn't find anyone who looked relatively similar to me to start off with. Beautiful, Sierra, beautiful.
Congrats beautiful mama! I'm so happy your special rainbow baby is here
I can’t believe it’s over. I feel like you just announced it...
My husband and I have been struggling with getting pregnant for years now (we've done multiple procedures including IVF unsuccessfully) and I knew this video was going to be tough to watch for me but it was definitely worth it. I love your positivity!
well you can just take this video as further proof that it is gonna happen someday! don't give up hope, i wish you and your husband the best!
Oh my gosh I’ve waited so long for this. I’m so happy Grace is here and healthy. Wow so crazy how your body changes during pregnancy. You look so good honey. ❤️
Amazing to see and hear about your pregnancy. Its been 16 years since my daughter was born but it seems like yesterday. This is a great way to remember such a wonderful time in your life. Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl.
Congratulations and enjoy the first few months of being a family of 3 now! Soak up those baby cuddles, it goes by quick!
I also have been struggling to find mid size and plus size pregnancy transformation videos and just pictures in general really. It's been so great to watch your videos and see how your body changed through pregnancy. Thank you so much for putting this kind of content out there and congratulations on meeting your sweet baby Grace.
What an amazingly beautiful transformation with an incredible gift at the end 💕💕
I can't believe it's been 9 months since I've watched any of your content or even seen a thumbnail. I didn't even know you were pregnant then this comes up in my reccommended. Congratulations I hope the journey of motherhood is all that you want it to be and more.
I have the same body type, and I am SO GRATEFUL for this video. You look amazing !
Congratulations on a beautiful baby!!! Thank you for this amazing pregnancy video. I really appreciate how to talked about the growth and differences in your body while also sharing how grateful you are for the changes that may be hard to deal with. ❤ Have a wonderful maternity leave and enjoy all the small moments, sending all the love 💜
Thank you for creating content like this. There’s not a lot of mid size to plus size women out there doing this. Past that I have never seen a larger women be so confident and articulate your level appreciation about your body! Lumps bumps and all, you are gorgeous and inspiring!!
I came to see your channel after happening across Dr. Jones' video on pregnancy loss where you were asking questions related to your experience. I realize it's been a long time since you posted this but I'm so incredibly happy for you that you had a successful pregnancy and birth. Congratulations on your now 19th-month-old baby.
Thank you for posting this! I wish something like this had been around when I was pregnant 11 years ago. I was chubbier when I got pregnant and just felt even fatter as the pregnancy progressed. I have no pictures of me when I was pregnant because I felt like I did not have the typical pregnancy belly. That is my biggest regret. For anyone that is bigger in size and pregnant, forget all self-consciousness and embrace and enjoy this time!
Enjoy your maternity leave Sierra! Thank you for bringing us along on your pregnancy journey. Give Grace a big hug from all of us
I’m so happy for you guys! She’s so adorable!
Could you please do a video one day about how pregnancy affected your bipolar disorder? I also have bipolar and I want kids so bad but pregnancy terrifies me😩
Yes! I suffer from depression so v nervous for having a baby. Especially postpartum
It's so different for everyone, but I am recovered from OCD and pregnancy and having a baby (like any life change but on a huge scale) and being a parent has been a lot, but totally manageable.
I would love to hear from sierra her perspective. But the biggest thing for me has been getting comfortable with whatever my brain does and living my life regardless. ❤️
Not me tearing up over Sierra's last "be confident be kind to you body" outro
I’m only 2 minutes into this video.. but I just gotta say you’re such a beautiful person inside and out! I’ve been watching your videos since your wedding series with Stephen and you two are genuinely such amazing people! I love being able to watch to two get married and now I’m even more excited to watch your family grow💕
I’m 34wks pregnant today and I loved watching this! We share a similar body type and I felt so much better watching your videos while you grew. Thank you for the rewind. Grace is beautiful ! Congratulations mama 🎉
Its nice to see a bigger body go through pregnancy. I felt like i was showing really early & had bloating. Im really enjoying the changes to my body & just experiencing the changes. Its nice to see another lady enjoying the changes pregnancy can bring & not just worrying about 'bouncing back' ❤❤
Loved watching this and seeing how you’ve been so kind to your body and just embracing it through pregnancy ❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this video, I'm also a plus-size girl and I haven't seen someone the same size pregnant just to know how I might look like
Sierra this video was so helpful! I’m 21w at the moment, and my whole pregnancy I’ve been clinging to your videos and updates for insight into what this might look like on a body like my own. You’re right, there really isn’t much out there. So thank you, and congratulations on welcoming your precious little baby girl :)
I can’t believe how fast the time went! It seems like you were just announcing your pregnancy a few weeks ago and now your sweet baby Grace is here! Please try to rest and enjoy your maternity leave! We will be here when you get back :)
I love that you made this video. I have a similar body type to you and when I scroll on IG I always say my body doesn’t like theirs so how will mine look pregnant. Thank you for sharing!
Wow I’ve been following for a while and I just saw you’re at over 1 million subscribers! Happy for you, TH-cam couldn’t ask for a better person to watch. You’re so admirable. Much love & congrats!
September CANNOT come fast enough! I’m so ready for some new Sierra content! 🥰
Thank you for pointing out how hard representation is during pregnancy for mid size to plus size women. Im 7 weeks and been trying to find this exact content. You are an awesome creator and mama!
Loved seeing your transformation! The love you have for your daughter just radiates off you! So happy for you
So many people claim that having a c-section is the easy way out, but I completely disagree. My biggest fear and worry was that i'd have to have one and try to recover from that postpartum. Don't get it twisted, having a baby and giving birth either "naturally" or through a section is insanely hard and painful. But you c-section mommas have a little bit more recovery wise to do. I applaud all women who go through childbirth. It's not easy!!
Anyone that says C-section is the easy way out should watch a c-section video. They have it way worse
I’m pregnant and was so sad because my body it’s not like these photos we can see in Pinterest. You inspired me to start taking photos
Never compare yourself to anyone on the internet! Most of those pictures are faked or unrealistic! Youre BEAUTIFUL! Never forget that
This is such a beautiful progress to grow an adorable human being. 🥺❤️
This was so beautiful to watch it's incredible that our bodies are capable of creating a whole other person and it's so great to see Sierra so happy, her baby is adorable and I'm so happy for them!
I admire you so much Sierra! You are already a great mom and are such a hard worker.
I'm literally crying from happiness seeing you with yoir baby girl. Giving birth was my most amazing success I've ever done. I had to have 3 c sections (not by choice) and there isn't a thing I would change because they got here happy and healthy! Congratulations Sierra!
Im going to have my 4th and final csection in October. Its a girl :)
@@Nordap1986 congrats!
i’m so so so SO excited for you! Congratulations to you, Steven and baby Grace! 💕💕
I’m sooo happy for you! I know how much you wanted this. Grace is beautiful, congrats!❤️
OMG, my tears won't stop flowing! Especially after watching your birth vlog. I had to have a c section and put to sleep because I had brain surgery and that recovery is so hard! But I'm so stinkin excited for you guys!
Been waiting since the day you announced!!! So excited!!
Congratulations!!! I love your joy, thank you for sharing this part of your life with us. I love the way you’ve done this transformation video I love hearing your experience throughout your pregnancy. You are glowing, happy, and full of love it’s a joyous time enjoy girl!
Such a beautiful video!! Congrats Sierra!
I don't want a small human to care for but this video alllllmost makes me want to get pregnant. You just make it seem like an incredible experience and you have so much joy that it makes me feel like I want that joy too!
It can also be horrific. I'm in constant pain and have been for about 18 weeks. Lol
@@MorticiaAttoms I'm so sorry to hear that and I hope you and up getting some relief. In addition to not wanting to take care of a small human I also fear complication and pain so it's a no all the way around for me.
I clicked as soon as I picked up my phone! You are amazing. My pregnancys and situation were widely different, and you make videos that make me happy and confident no matter where we are at. 💕💕
Thank you so much for showing your journey. This video in particular is amazing for me to see someone with a very similar body type and shape to me going through pregnancy changes. I’ve always had a belly I feel looks like I’m pregnant so I’m somewhat afraid that I won’t show or change too much when I’m pregnant and I want to see it so bad. Seeing your changes was so heartening for me and makes me look forward to the day I get to be pregnant and see my body change while growing a little human. And thank you for being so positive about your changes, it’s so refreshing to see someone talk about their pregnancy body in an appreciative way.
From one mother to another.. I hope you consider wearing a compression undergarments for gaining core strength and stability to help with daily activities and recovery especially after having a c-section. Besides from that, congratulations Sierra and Stephen 💕
Agree! Also wearing compression undergarments keeps the belly in place and prevents it from moving too much, which helps your c-section scar to heal faster.
I feel this is a method hispanic moms do 🥰
I started following your journey after your miscarriage and infertility video with MDJ and to see this now with Grace here is so beautiful. Congratulations, you did it!
I'm a bit jealous of this video because I wish when I was pregnant they had the technology for me to document mine like you were able to. Grace will be able to see this when she is older and that is so amazing! I don't even have many pictures of myself pregnant. To be able to have the weeks of stages during your pregnancy and to see the changes in your body during the pregnancy is so cool. Back then for me, no one really did that. I just remember taking one more towards the end to send to my sister in-law who lived really far away just so she could see my belly. Technology has come so far and it's really amazing.
ps... I never got that pregnancy line or the belly button pop out either. Mine was just flat.
Oh, I just remembered that for me, after many hours of failed natural labor I also had an unplanned C-section and for a very long time the scar felt really weird. It was kind of like when you go to the dentist to get a filling and they give you Novocain to numb you up but it's all around the scar. It freaked me out anytime anything touched that area. I don't know if you had this issue yet or not. It was weird and uncomfortable for me. I don't know if you will experience that too or if anyone else who had a C-section had that too. I just wanted to say something in case it happens to you. I assume it is normal?
Such a beautiful process to see in such a short video! Loved every second💗
Love this! I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant and so excited to see and how things progress. Congratulations to you and Stephen! And welcome Grace!! 🎉🎉
I’m almost 9wks pregnant right now! Girl your photos and videos have helped me SO much! I always see these girls with flat tummy’s say “ohh my bump” and I’m like ughh I already got a bump to start with lol so I never knew how my body would change or if I would look pregnant! Seeing someone with a very similar body type to me document how this journey went for you is so amazing and I thank you so much for it! You’re doing amazing work in the plus/mid size community Sierra, thank you for letting us be apart of this journey with you! 💕
Thank you so much for your video ... I've been looking for the exact same thing all over the internet to see how my body will react to pregnancy (I'm currently 5 weeks pregnant and I've always been a plus size woman).
Your video is so helpful ! So thank you again
I am currently 17 weeks pregnant and as someone with a mid-size body (UK size 14/16) watching you document your journey is so refreshing! It has also given me the confidence to start documenting my journey! Congratulations on your beautiful daughter
This whole recap is so pure 💕
I love this idea
Thank you so much for taking us along on your pregnancy journey. I think it will be really helpful for a lot of women. You are amazing.
I’m 14 weeks pregnant and I’m grateful for this representation that is similar to my own body ❤️ have the best maternity leave and enjoy your sweet baby!
My mum saw me watching this video and said “when you’re pregnant I’m gonna make sure we document so much” and it made me emosh🥺 even though I’m far from that stage of my life 😂 love you Sierra
