18 WEEK PREGNANCY UPDATE! | SECOND TRIMESTER

[@CalledtoCultivate]

Have you looked in to Floradix? It's a food based iron supplement that is a liquid. It doesn't cause as much constipation. I took it with my third pregnancy. You look great Julie, so glad you're feeling good too! Will the baby's gender be a surprise? Are the kids rooting for a brother or sister? 😊

[@mamatofive1]

I haven't, but that is the supplement that my midwife suggested that I get! I hadn't heard of it before then. :)

What a fab video, I loved being pregnant!

[@TheBrownsDaily]

I don’t know if you can get this in Canada but the prenatal one prenatal vitamins by rainbow light, I highly recommend. They are plant based so easier for your body to digest and they have iron plusssss probiotics so you don’t get that lovely constipation that some iron supplements can cause. So glad you are feeling back to normal and hopefully get to feel those movements soon ❤️!!!!

[@mamatofive1]

Thanks!! Loving all the recommendations 😃

I'm a homeschooling mommy and due September 29th with my third! My bump is HUGE compared to yours! :) Looking forward to your updates!

[@mamatofive1]

Congratulations! LOL! 😂

What a great update! I'm so glad your feeling better!! What a blessing! Iron supplements are not great.....i know it sounds gross but dessicated liver pills are alot more bio available and won't end up with the yucky side effects of the synthetic stuff. I hope that helps. I am always low iron with every pregnancy so I get that!

[@mamatofive1]

Yuck! lol Thanks so much. :)

With my first child my doctor told me my due date was almost two weeks later than I thought... and I knew that this wasnt possible (my husband would have been out of town when she thought we conceived)... but she insisted that the measurements were accurate. My son was born on the day I told her my due date was... but by her calculations he was almost two weeks early... You know your body, and I bet you are right momma! Either way... I hope you have a healthy pregnancy and labor! A new baby is always so exciting! :)

[@mamatofive1]

Crazy eh? I'd be worried if I had to consult with an OB, but with the midwives, I'm sure it will work out fine, even if their date is wrong! :)

[@sarahj8207]

Both of my pregnancies have happened days after the end of my cycle. Same with my mom. Crazy!

[@TheBabcocks]

The ultrasound for Anna had me a week earlier than my date....I went into labor on my date. :)

[@ACommonLife]

I wasn’t able to read through all the comments so I apologize if some of these questions have been asked already. Are you going to do any supplement herbs like red raspberry leaf tea or evening Primrose oil? Do you plan to have your children at the birth or will they be someplace else? Do you do land or water births? Around what is the cost of a midwife homebirth in Canada? Will you be making a birth vlog for this one? Are you planning to hire a Doula? I am a few weeks behind you. :)

[@mamatofive1]

Aww I just filmed my q&a yesterday, but these are such good questions! I'll write them down to answer in my next pregnancy video. :)

[@SavedbyHisMercy]

I had an anterior placenta with my last 2. I felt kind of robbed as it took so long to feel movement!

[@mamatofive1]

That’s a great way to put it! I really can’t wait to feel more regular movement!

[@SavedbyHisMercy]

Mama to Four lol...i hear that!

[@faithwt648]

Are you eating thm while pregnant?

[@That.Girl.Kyle.]

I had an anterior placenta with my 3rd and couldn't feel anything until 22 weeks! 😬 I feel ya with the belly bump. I show so early but just look pudgy until 18-20 weeks. Lol

[@mamatofive1]

LOL yup totally! That's crazy...it makes such a big difference!

[@venz_between_the_lines3748]
