I just learned this in my child development class but typically your baby will be more active when you are resting. Think of it like you are a hammock and your baby is on it. When you walk around its like the hammock is swinging and your baby is sleeping. When you are resting the swinging has stopped and your baby is up and kicking. I'm just a college student so you don't have to take my word for it. I just wanted to share. So happy for you Jenn.
I'm 16.5 weeks and my bump is so little I was worried about something being wrong and baby not growing right but seeing your bump the same size as mine!! make a me feel so much better that my bump is normal size :) love your videos!
What a wonderful way to record the process and to see the excitement in your face. My wife just gave birth to our second child. Having children is difficult but definitely worth it. Congratulations Jen.
yay, so happy to have found your channel!!!! im also pregnant for the first time- 16 weeks now. and i have been experiencing EVERYTHING you have. first trimester sucked so much, and i also slept from morning to night on and off, and then get overwhelmed! loved watching this!!
take all the naps you need. when the baby gets here, take any help offered. sleep when the baby sleeps. seriously, I know it's hard to think that but rest is important. and also check into baby wearing! my tula carrier has saved my sanity and grocery shopping :) sorry I rambled so much ahaha.
Hey Jen, listening to you talk about the ups and downs of pregnancy is so helpful and awesome! I'm in my first trimester, with my first baby on the way, and it's really nice to know that you felt the same way as I do so often! Thank you for sharing this with us. Xoxo
Yay! I actually got up today and wondered if you were going to upload! I'm a first time mum too and thought I was early, feeling movement we 18 weeks exactly! I'm petite too. I'm 29 weeks now. Love being on this ride with you!
I love hearing everything about the baby! I get so excited along with you for seeing your baby have a baby.. uhm shape? SPIDERBABY hehehe seeing you so happy talking about the baby makes me extremely happy too! I'm going to be so excited when the baby is born~ I hope that your morning sickness and tiredness will get better...
+Kathleen Tan Hahaha yeah it was so exciting to see it moving around and looking very spiderman-y and also baby-like versus just a jellybean! If you watch the sonogram part, you can see the screen shaking since I was laughing so much 😂
+From Head To Toe Thank you for replying ohmygosh💕 I find it so interesting to see how far the baby has come! I cant wait to see how the baby looks like now, since this is a few weeks behind 😁
Wait I'm really sorry this is random, but are you the Kathleen Tan I used to go to school with? If so HAII IDK IF YOU REMEMBER ME BUT HAIII. And I feel exactly the same, congratulations Jen! :3
I love keeping up with the baby updates!! You can really see how immensely excited you are about your little one. 💛 which is so heart warming. Can't wait to continuously see the baby grow and go along for the ride with you :)
Just seeing this now, I'm almost 16 weeks and your video makes me feel better! I haven't had much going on for symptoms the past couple weeks and I have a tiny bump, but not super noticeable. All these other girls on TH-cam are huge already! I felt like something was wrong with me.
Girl your pregnancy vlogs make me sooo happy. Currently 7 weeks, baby's the size of a blueberry. Lol I feel like my tummy looks like yours now because I'm eating so much! Second trimester needs to hurry up. Super tired of wanting to sleep all day. Pregnancy brain is killer for me especially because I work at a grocery store and I can't remember codes for fruits and veggies lol
Try not to feel guilty and overwhelmed about feeling unproductive. I study neurobiology at UCI, and I can tell you research has shown that a pregnant mama that stresses a lot has an effect on the baby - the babies have less neurons in the brain as opposed to pregnant moms who were less stressed (something like that). Just a thought that might help!! Haha my mom was so stressed when she was pregnant with me, so when I learned this I was like MOM -_-.
New to your channel... Subscribed exclusively to hear/watch more about the pregnancy! Thank you sooo much for sharing!! I find myself SMILING through the WHOLE video...kinda reliving my pregnancies + happy milestones, while you're having your firsts!? I'm blessed with 2, however I can't have anymore. I am an HG survivor (look up Hyperemesis Gravidarum). It's an extreme form of morning sickness. I won't go into any more detail so as not to scare you during YOUR beautiful journey. But, I just wanted to pay some sort of gratitude to you for sharing this experience. For ones like us (who can't have anymore), it's wonderful to witness the excitement of soon-to-be Mommas!
I'm so excited every time this pops up in my subscription box. I can see the little pregnancy belly line that some women get down the center of your belly! you're such a beautiful mama to be! can't wait for the next update!!!
I've kept up with your channel for quite a while now even though I'm just some guy in college, but your personality is really infectious. I'm actually really happy for you, and I hope everything goes well. Keep up the great videos. o7
Thanks Jen. I was waiting for your video like every day! Really enjoy it! I got tears for every single video of yours! Can u update a bit about your skin? Any problems like acne, stretch marks...? To be honest you made me feel like to have one now! :)
I got really emotional watching this video for my oldest daughter is having her first baby too. Actually, she is as far as u r into her pregnancy. She is living in Chicago now, thousands of miles away from me, so I don't get to see her go thru "her process". Listening to what you've been thru really touches my heart, for my daughter is as petite as you are, and she has shared with me, many of the symptoms and emotions that you so well describe. She is also showing and I'm looking forward to know the sex of my first grandchild. I will definitely follow you closer! God bless u and your baby.
Im at 16 weeks now and about the same weight as you! My starting weight was also about the same as yours. I’m just an inch taller and asian as well, hence the small build. I was a bit worried that my weight might be too low but then again i’ve always been underweight and seeing that you delivered a healthy baby makes me feel more confident about having this baby! My bump atm also looks about the same as yours :)
I think it's a boy! Congratulations. I only found out today that you're pregnant. I was just watching tutorials of yours before then you got married then now a baby! I just had a baby boy this January. Good luck and God bless you.
Been looking forward for your preggy blog! I so love you Jen and I'm so happy for you! Btw, what period/pregnancy app are you using! Hope you reply! Love love!
I'm not preggy, but a lot of my friends are and i keep watching your videos to help them hahah i keep sending your channel to them 'cause it's so helpfull and SO cute the way you talk about your baby hahaha God bless you and your family
Is the NT scan a new thing, because I never got one during either of my pregnancies - which is going on 10 years ago??? Isn't wonderful to feel your baby kick and soon move??? And it doesn't hurt like some women try to claim. Congratulations on bump, be proud of that bump!!!
Totally rewatching your pregnancy updates because I'm expecting my first! I'm also very petite and I'm 12 weeks and weigh 86 lbs. so happy to hear someone else was in the 80's too lol !!
You look gorgeous as always and your baby bump is so cute! I love seeing you so happy, these videos are so fun to watch. Hope you're enjoying the pregnancy Jen!!
thank you so much for sharing your pregnancy experience. I am finally over with my first tri. And I could also recognize myself in how you described you went through the first try. I had somedays like that too where all I did was eat and sleep and fall behind schedule with my works and to-do list. I have so much more energy now that I'm in my 2nd tri. Just still feeling short of breath. I am looking forward to your upcoming pregnancy vlog and to see your baby's face
Hey Jenn! loved your prenancy vlogs!Was wondering if u have a special food cravings? Or a specific type of food where before pregnancy u liked it however during pregnancy, u hated it? My baby girl is 4 months old and I remembered when I was pregnant with her, I hated the smell of freshly cooked rice! haha...so weird...
Hi~ I love watching your preggy vlogs! I am currently experiencing what you did at like your 5 weeks video and I guess my only solace is knowing it is common! (like you cant tell much people until your first trimester, etc.) It really does help knowing what to expect! :)) You mentioned the app in this video, what app is it?
I wouldn't sweat it. I'm Korean and 4'11" and my husband is 6'1" too and I carried relatively small. That is until the last couple weeks, then GROWTH SPURT! You'll notice it to! I bumped into things a lot more since my belly was suddenly bigger than what I was used to. I didn't get any stretch marks until the last couple weeks either, but they were minor. I just had my little man just over 3 weeks ago. The first couple weeks were a bit of a shock and adjustment, but now it's (slightly sleep deprived) bliss. ^-^ You got this!
Chill babies inutero tend to stay chill when they're out! My baby was not very active at all and towards the end they needed to do specific scans that required the baby to move a certain amount. I'd always have to chug two cups of juice and take a walk around the building. And finally I drank two sips of soda and that finally did it!! Haahaahaa but my baby came out super chill and such a good sleeper!! Here's hoping for something similar for you!!
I'm so glad you made these vlogs. I'm less than a week behind you and it's like I don't have to go through everything alone and I have these videos to validate everything I'm going through with the pregnancy. so thank you
Hi, Jenn! I'm 20 wks along and also super petite (like 4' 10", but not quite so thin as you). Did you happen to shoot any "dressing the bump" type posts? I'd be hugely interested!
Wow, congratulations! My son came to me unexpectedly and my pregnancy was an adventure (had to listen and follow to some old wives tales coz my grandma's more excited than I was, lol!). He was really small at my 5th month, under 1 kilo and then he just grew onwards. I'm also only 4'11 :)...you may experience shortness of breath like I did at my 7th month. The baby's crowding my lungs so it was difficult for me to fall asleep (I sometimes only get about 2 hours sleep) and I remember frequent trips to the bathroom to let out like a teaspoon of pee each time, lol! I hope you're exercising and remember to not panic when you're already in labor. I was in labor from 6pm and got wheeled into ER at 9pm. I was having a hard time pushing the baby out so I was given twilight anesthesia so I could relax. Next thing I knew, I was like in psychedelic 70s, like all the colors were flying for real because of what I got injected with, lol! I passed out for awhile after and saw my baby being led away to be cleaned. I was groggy as hell but I remember asking if he's healthy. That happened almost 9 years ago and my boy, Ian, is very healthy, very imaginative and creative, loves documentaries and Mine Craft and a consistent honor student. I wish you happiness and a healthy baby and a colorful adventure into motherhood!
Hi Jen, I'm at 20 weeks now and I DEFINITELY feel like I waddle like a fat duck. I don't know if I'm feeling any kicks yet, since I'm also carrying a bit small (I have yet to gain the expected weight) but my button ups and shirts show that I have a belly beyond the "fat chub" thing. I usually wear a size 4-6 (depending on the brand and cut) and for the first time, I tried on a shirt at H&M that was a size 10 and it was comfortable. Enough said, I'm going to start looking at maternity stores for comfy jeans because Vancouver (Canada) is too cold for leggings still, and oh yeah... first time mom with a dog to another.. MAKE sure you DO get some walks in - I walk our little shiba inu dog once in the day (mornings are better now) for 35 mins - 1 hour, as my routine exercise. Even though you're carrying light/small due to your petiteness, you should still try to fit in a walk or two a day without tiring yourself TOO much or being reckless with a cold or a flu. :) hope you're sleeping better than I am, I think our little baby is throwing a cartwheel party in my womb.
i am loooovving your little preggy vlogs! first kicks are so exciting!! hahaa and i understand your fear about having a baby just rip out of you. my hubby is 6' and im 5'2" (so not quite as big a diff as you & ben) BUT my kids were 10lb4oz & 9lb7oz ................ yea. and i'm a pretty tiny human too. i'm sure you'll be fine tho!
You're on your way Jenn! I lost count how many months it's been. My niece had crawled out my cousin as of today! I'm an uncle to many rugrats and kids once again.... 😅
I remember how exhausted I was when I was in my 1st trimester. My son is now 15 months old, exhausted? Ha! It's get much worse. I miss those beautiful sleep filled nights. Enjoy and congrats!
I remember being pregnant with my first I was super sick, when I found out I was about 6 weeks pregnant and I was throwing up from the minute I got out of bed to the time I went back to bed to sleep. Omg it made me so depressed and the doctor proscribed me Zofran and not even Zofran helped me!! I felt absolutely terrible! I cried every day and I ended up admitted in the hospital 3 times then I found “no to morning sickness tea”. It had made me feel so much batter …
The biggest shock for me while watching this video was finding out you're actually 4''11 like me! Hahaha! All this time I thought you were like 5''7 or something. xD Anyway, I'm really happy for you. Hope your pregnancy keeps going well. Congratulations! :-)
Can you please try some of the products out there for preventing/lessening stretch marks? I'm curious to see whether it makes any difference if it's used earlier during pregnancy vs post-pregnancy. WebMD said the best time to treat is when the marks are still reddish (I don't remember when they were that way for me; they just appeared one day when my pregnancy was around 25 weeks 😱). My baby is 18 months old now. My weight is finally back to pre-pregnancy (I gained the recommended 25 lbs). My stretch marks are silvery and have a slightly darker color than the rest of my belly. It's no biggie. I'm not obsessed over this imperfection. It's only my curiosity of what-if I took care of my skin better then: perhaps simply being more disciplined about moisturizing my belly everyday. Cheers.
I have heard that your skin can drastically change during pregnancy. Either you get too dry (or dehydrated skin) or break out a whole lot. Not even mentioning stretch marks that can appear and stay. Do you think you'd take this opportunities to do a pregnancy skincare routine or maybe talk about some beauty products that you've stopped or start using during pregnancy?
First of all congrats Jen for the heathy growing of the baby. Second of all I am 14 years old and I felt so ' unproud' about myself that my tummy is that big and beleive me I am not pregnant. Man I need to get to working out. Anyways congrats again Jen. May your baby continues to grow healthy.
I feel same thing!!! 1st tri really frustrating! cannot eat at all! feeling so lazy and tired. I just wanna just be alone! I cannot do any at home! 2nd tri I feel better. yey
This is so good! Congratulations. Reminds me of when I had this when we first we had our daughter. I'm so happy for you. Philippine Tarzier? This is great memory! 💙 Maryam
Hi Jen, i really like your preggy vlogs, thank you for sharing your experience. I was wondering if you could post something about skincare and makeup for mom-to-be ? It would be so helpful :) thank you
+Lina Ve thats me! also its my first time in my 27 years that i have ever worked full time as before that i was a student. Im a first time teacher and mother! exhausting!!
i felt a bit jealous when she could just sleep when she felt tired, tbh. lol i worked full time at a care home, and was at college at the same time, up till i was 8 months pregnant with my littlun. fun times 😀
Karen Sanders It makes us better equipped to motherhood and dealing with a newborn... builds our resilience and toughens us up! There's always a plus side to things huh :)
I am at 15 weeks and 3 days. One thing that is killing me during pregnancy is ACNE problems! I've never had acne problems before but after I got pregnant, acne all over my chin, cheeks, and forehead. :'(
I'm 4'11 as well and my baby daddy is 6ft. I gave birth to 4lb 13 oz baby boy. The doctors also told me that i was gonna carried small and they were right lol. So im pretty sure you'll carry small as well! Congrats!
You look GREAT Jen! Take good care of yourself . . . And cut yourself some slack . . . YOU and the baby are priority. Sending you all lots of love . . .
Hi Jen, the Philippine Tarsier is pronounced as /tar-sheer/ hehe.. But, I really like the way you said it. :-) Love you! One with you in waiting for the baby. :-) Excited too!! ^_^
+Faith Sellina Tanya She posted some clips on snapchat a while ago, but of course they are gone! But I would like to think that she might post a TH-cam video about it later on!
I just learned this in my child development class but typically your baby will be more active when you are resting. Think of it like you are a hammock and your baby is on it. When you walk around its like the hammock is swinging and your baby is sleeping. When you are resting the swinging has stopped and your baby is up and kicking.

I'm 16.5 weeks and my bump is so little I was worried about something being wrong and baby not growing right but seeing your bump the same size as mine!! make a me feel so much better that my bump is normal size :)

I love your Preggo vlogs! I have fun watching them! I'm almost 16 weeks pregnant and it's so fun to see others experiences! 😊😊
Just curious. Are you 16 weeks pregnant now or is this another video that was prerecorded. Love watching either way.
this was from january. its in her description box.
+Mary Rose thanks. I completely missed it.

Hi Jen. Can you share if you did blood test along with the NT scan or just the scan alone? Is this part of the genetic testing? Thanks!!
omg loving these videos right now! I think that a lot has changed and I am so excited for you and your baby :)
Hi, Jenn! I'm 20 wks along and also super petite (like 4' 10", but not quite so thin as you). Did you happen to shoot any "dressing the bump" type posts? I'd be hugely interested!
Congrats girl. I can't wait until the baby is welcomed to the world.
your baby did kinda look like spiderman ! I think your ultrasound is the cutest one I've seen so far !! 😍
I love how excited you are! Congratulations to you and Ben once again :)

You're on your way Jenn! I lost count how many months it's been. My niece had crawled out my cousin as of today! I'm an uncle to many rugrats and kids once again.... 😅
just realized your hair has grown that long. hoping the best for you and your baby!
Hi Jen! I was wondering where do you buy most of your petite maternity clothes?
I remember how exhausted I was when I was in my 1st trimester. My son is now 15 months old, exhausted? Ha! It's get much worse. I miss those beautiful sleep filled nights. Enjoy and congrats!
I'm so excited for you Jen! sending you hugs and for the baby :)
It makes me so happy to see you this excited!!
I remember being pregnant with my first I was super sick, when I found out I was about 6 weeks pregnant and I was throwing up from the minute I got out of bed to the time I went back to bed to sleep. Omg it made me so depressed and the doctor proscribed me Zofran and not even Zofran helped me!! I felt absolutely terrible! I cried every day and I ended up admitted in the hospital 3 times then I found “no to morning sickness tea”. It had made me feel so much batter …
hahah jenn's baby bump is like the size of my stomach after I eat #foodbaby
Your baby bump is so adorable! ♡
cutest preggers ever! I'm so excited for you babe! You are glowing and motherhood is the best thing ever. Mommy playdate soon ;) xo
it's so crazy seeing your baby bump jen!! i love how you were just laughing at your ultrasound haha
The biggest shock for me while watching this video was finding out you're actually 4''11 like me! Hahaha! All this time I thought you were like 5''7 or something. xD Anyway, I'm really happy for you. Hope your pregnancy keeps going well. Congratulations! :-)
I'm so excited for you and Ben. You look great and you have a glow on you 😊
I can't wait for your little one to come! You're going to be an amazing mom 😊
Your bump is so cute! :) Love these updates!
Can you please try some of the products out there for preventing/lessening stretch marks? I'm curious to see whether it makes any difference if it's used earlier during pregnancy vs post-pregnancy. WebMD said the best time to treat is when the marks are still reddish (I don't remember when they were that way for me; they just appeared one day when my pregnancy was around 25 weeks 😱). My baby is 18 months old now. My weight is finally back to pre-pregnancy (I gained the recommended 25 lbs). My stretch marks are silvery and have a slightly darker color than the rest of my belly. It's no biggie. I'm not obsessed over this imperfection. It's only my curiosity of what-if I took care of my skin better then: perhaps simply being more disciplined about moisturizing my belly everyday. Cheers.
I always get excited with these updates!👶
These always make me so happy! I'm so happy for you and fingers crossed you Carry small :)
you look kinda different, maybe that's the pregnant glow people talk about. It's really good seeing how happy you are! I wish you the best :))
I have heard that your skin can drastically change during pregnancy. Either you get too dry (or dehydrated skin) or break out a whole lot. Not even mentioning stretch marks that can appear and stay. Do you think you'd take this opportunities to do a pregnancy skincare routine or maybe talk about some beauty products that you've stopped or start using during pregnancy?
I love these updates, you look amazing Jen.
First of all congrats Jen for the heathy growing of the baby. Second of all I am 14 years old and I felt so ' unproud' about myself that my tummy is that big and beleive me I am not pregnant. Man I need to get to working out. Anyways congrats again Jen. May your baby continues to grow healthy.
So excited for you, may God bless your pregnancy and your mini kicker!! 😊 enjoy your pregnancy, you'll miss him/her once she/he is born!
+Laura D She :)
My 1st and 3rd trimester were the hardest so try and enjoy the 2nd trimester as much as possible!
I also found out the sex of my baby at 16 weeks :)
I feel same thing!!! 1st tri really frustrating! cannot eat at all! feeling so lazy and tired. I just wanna just be alone! I cannot do any at home! 2nd tri I feel better. yey
is there any makeup cautions while pregnant?
This is so good! Congratulations. Reminds me of when I had this when we first we had our daughter. I'm so happy for you. Philippine Tarzier? This is great memory! 💙 Maryam
When you see her cute bump and realise that yours look exactly the same except that you're not pregnant, you just had it your whole life :D
A LOT HAS CHANGED OMG JEN YEY
Spiderbabyhhhhh for the winnnnn
Hi Jen, i really like your preggy vlogs, thank you for sharing your experience. I was wondering if you could post something about skincare and makeup for mom-to-be ? It would be so helpful :) thank you
imagine the pregnant women that work full time
+Lina Ve thats me! also its my first time in my 27 years that i have ever worked full time as before that i was a student. Im a first time teacher and mother! exhausting!!
i felt a bit jealous when she could just sleep when she felt tired, tbh. lol
i worked full time at a care home, and was at college at the same time, up till i was 8 months pregnant with my littlun. fun times 😀
Karen Sanders It makes us better equipped to motherhood and dealing with a newborn... builds our resilience and toughens us up! There's always a plus side to things huh :)
Poor things, i dont work and im still super tired
I work full-time first baby and I’m still exhausted 😩 xx
I am at 15 weeks and 3 days. One thing that is killing me during pregnancy is ACNE problems! I've never had acne problems before but after I got pregnant, acne all over my chin, cheeks, and forehead. :'(
I'm 4'11 as well and my baby daddy is 6ft. I gave birth to 4lb 13 oz baby boy. The doctors also told me that i was gonna carried small and they were right lol. So im pretty sure you'll carry small as well! Congrats!
Glad to hear it's going better now Jen. Your tiny baby bump is so cute!! I have to admit my food belly is bigger 😭 Lol.
You look GREAT Jen! Take good care of yourself . . . And cut yourself some slack . . . YOU and the baby are priority. Sending you all lots of love . . .
Congrats again. Glad the baby is doing well.
Hi Jen, the Philippine Tarsier is pronounced as /tar-sheer/ hehe.. But, I really like the way you said it. :-) Love you!
One with you in waiting for the baby. :-) Excited too!! ^_^
I'm 14 weeks today! Congrats girl
love your shirt... where did you get it?
How exciting! We seem to be due around the same time! When are you due?
I am 16 week and 1 day today. And my belly is same like yours may be bit bigger than yours. But small..
I hope you carry small too!! I'm 4"11 and my 2nd baby came out 9pounds!!

+Malika Igizbayeva I gave birth naturally! No drugs too! It happened all too quickly! 1hr and she was here 😆😆
OMG AHHH this is sooo exciting!!! :DDDDD

It's a boy? At one point during the ultrasound, Jen said "He's.. His face is kind of down right..."
I totally heard that to lol
+jurikuri418 It's a girl!! They did a gender reveal party, and the cake was pink!! 😀
noo she did a gender reveal its a girl!!!
+BeautifulNoona oh I didn't know that! Thanks!
+Faith Sellina Tanya She posted some clips on snapchat a while ago, but of course they are gone! But I would like to think that she might post a TH-cam video about it later on!
Howmuch is her height in centimeters? I can't get it.

+Malika Igizbayeva Almost 150cm
