2nd Trimester Recap | symptoms, birth plan, mental health, moving states, etc.

[@ToriAndChad]

Comment below any name suggestions you have for baby number two hehe!

[@crazyforcookies101]

What about Ezra? I think Ezra and Micah are cute together!

[@annahburge2022]

Jeremiah, James, Josiah, Joseph! Just a few I love!! I’m actually pregnant with my first and his name is James Carter!

[@maheavelasquez2489]

Ezra

[@jessicaabragg]

My son's name is Uriyah! Added a y but we got it from Uriah in the bible! It means God is my light.

[@kaylazinkhon6339]

My top two for boy #3 due in July are Ezra or Gideon.

[@QuiteQuietASMR]

One idea for when you are on your maternity leave is to have Chad post some solo cooking videos!! We would love that

[@shifralandsberg6109]

Oh yea!!

[@MonicaHewitt-h7v]

I was pregnant with you last time for my first baby and due a month before you. Now I'm pregnant with my second and due one month AFTER you. Both little girlies♥️👶

[@lisahattingh1072]

Our first boy’s name is Ezra and it means “help” or “helper”. He has such a gentle soul and such a massive heart. He was born on Mandela Day in South Africa which is a day dedicated to Nelson Mandela and spending extra time helping those in need. When I went into labor that day I honestly felt so in awe. God’s hand was honestly so deep in all of it. Felt like a little nudge from God.

[@charleenbower6803]

Caleb - faith, devotion, Aaron - exalted, high mountain, Ethan - strong, firm, Ezekiel or ZEKE - god strengthens, Ezra - help, Gabriel - God is my strength, Ira - watchful, Isaac - he will laugh, Isaiah - God is salvation, Jeremiah - the Lord exalts, Josiah - God supports, Judah - praised, Malachi - messenger of God, Mathias - gift of God, Seth - annointed

[@setfreethecaptive]

Micah and Judah has such a nice ring to it! Also, Judah Masters also sounds really cool together. Love it

[@kiara-beth2466]

So I saw a Pelvic Floor specialist with my first and I am so glad I did! I used to be a dancer and when the specialist checked me out my pelvic floor was like rock hard- she helped me learn to relax it. She said lots of ex-dancers are wound so tight from their training that birth can be really painful and leave them with pelvic floor injuries because the only way for baby to get out is by damaging the wall in their way when it wont melt out of their way- so she helped me figure out how to melt and let my baby pass through and I had relief from tailbone and pubic bone pain as I learned that too!!

[@BlakeTiffIkeKaiChasy]

I think anything with the “ah” sound at the end of baby’s name would sound beautiful with Micah’s name (+ a biblical meaning.) Examples: Micah and Judah Judah means: praise or praised in Hebrew. Micha and Isaiah Isaiah means: God is salvation! Micha and Josiah Josiah means: God supports and heals! Also, just had my third baby on 1/1/24! We have two boys and a girl… we love the meanings of names as well! Congratulations on baby number 2!! We have lovedddd having two boys in a row ! It’s one of the biggest blessings. They have a best friend for life!!!

[@jenni.murray]

I’m 18 weeks with my first! ☺️ I’ve been watching and loving your videos since before I even got married, and you’re just always so encouraging! 💛

[@QuiteQuietASMR]

I love Chad but as a girl I love seeing these girl-to-girl videos!

[@elizabethpimentel8881]

Love the Dappy shotout! His music is amazing for work or quiet time. I'm saving this video in my "future family" playlist for when I'm pregnant with our first. Thank you for sharing all this!

[@meadowlove822]

100% second better help. I personally found one of the greatest Christian therapists ever on there. It took going through one lady that was great but not what I needed, and continuing to “go” or use the platform was so worth it and so easy like Tori was saying

[@libbyzadoorian9145]

My first baby is 4 months older than Micah and I am due in April with #2 also :) I was in a workout rut and recently joined burn boot camp & LOVE it because they will give you pregnancy modifications for every single exercise. And they are very encouraging and helpful!

[@rebeccakatobo3170]

Hey Tori, a boy name I've always loved is Ezra, which means "help" or "helper" in Hebrew. The name also derives from a longer Hebrew name "Azaryahu" which means "God helps". Ezra was also a Hebrew prophet, scribe and priest 😘

[@Marloezz96]

And Mikah and Ezra also sound very good together! ❤

[@kaylazinkhon6339]

That's my top choice for boy #3 due in July. I've loved it for years! It sounds great with Micah too.

[@yuliyastrizheus9625]

One of my favorite boy names as well. I love names with a good meaning.

[@shaunarowe6747]

Ezra is on my list!

[@missm6684]

Love that name too!

[@annabrown2315]

4 months postpartum with Baby #1 and something that was EXTREMELY HELPFUL was chiropractic care all during pregnancy! If you can find someone that is experienced with pregnant Mommas, and gently stretching those round ligaments, 👌 perfect!! It also made labor so much smoother and quick. Only 7 hrs for my first baby, and he was 10 lbs!!!

[@kristinjohnson8907]

Yay! I’m a mobile pelvic floor Physical therapist! I specialize in pregnancy & postpartum. Wish I was near Franklin to help you 💖 sending love from AZ! *Edit to add after I continued watching the video and you mentioned the exercising stuff: I literally JUST started a new service available US wide for customized full body exercise plans, on a monthly subscription, through an organized app, for all stages of pregnancy & postpartum! small plug lol, but couldn't help it bc its my jam and I would LOVE to gift it to you. Your channel has been such a light in my life and you've really encouraged me to start reading the Bible and having a personal relationship with God! Currently in Romans and now have a morning non-negotiable quiet time :) so THANK YOU!

[@lucrefa]

I’m also pregnant! 32 weeks and honestly a little scared but trusting in the Lord. Been in bed rest since 27weeks and with my last pregnancy I was in the hospital since 25 weeks… so living in uncertainty but learning to trust in the lord and very grateful with him to be in bed rest at home and not at the hospital! 🙈🙈 Baby is great but Need your prayers please! ❤ God bless you all!

[@mesmerizingstars]

Praying for you and your babies!! 💞

[@essieaku3563]

May the Lord Jesus help you have a safe end of your pregnancy and a safe delivery !💕🕊🙏

[@baleslydia2009]

I have worked with 3 pelvic floor specialists (each change was due to me moving) and they all were wonderful! Especially my most recent apecialist helped me find what was really going on, create stretches and massage that actually worked for my body. It helped me learn more about my body, be more atuned and aware and built my confidence so much! It was so empowering id reccomend to anyone considering!!

[@lettucelovelaura]

I'm pregnant too and due 2 weeks after you!! This is my first baby (feeling a tad overwhelmed) so I'm soaking up all your info! Thankyou so much for you joy, hope and vulnerability! Xx

[@mckennadoane6323]

We chose the name Denver, and Denver means “green pasture.” He was our first, and he was very unexpected haha!! But throughout my pregnancy, God kept bringing me to psalms 23 and reminding me that He is my Shepherd, He lays me down on green pastures, I shall not want and I have NO lack in Him and He would provide for us and our baby. And God has brought us SO much new life and joy with our sweet little guy!! He lives up to the meaning🥰🏔️(and we love Colorado, so win win haha!!)

[@mesmerizingstars]

Aww so sweet!! Psalm 23 is my all time favorite psalm, your little guy sounds great 😁💞

[@BarretoFamily]

Samuel: For this child we have prayed Currently pregnant with my 2nd baby girl. This pregnancy has been the complete opposite from my first pregnancy. Honestly, this pregnancy has been so much easier than my first and for that I am so thankful.

[@jguzman9782]

Aw! Im also pregnant with my second and Im naming him Samuel, exactly for that reason child we prayed for and God heard My first baby is a Girl This pregnancy i dont feel pregnant

[@baileykelley4641]

I’ve been pregnant with you for both! I had a girl in May 2022 and now I’m due with a boy in May of this year! 💙💙 I remember praying for you before you were pregnant with micah, so this has been so sweet to watch!

[@PaigeSzupello]

I’m 15 weeks with my first and am so so so excited!!!!! Loved following along with your pregnancy while being pregnant! 🙏🏼🫶🏼

[@hannahcostello6816]

me too!!!

[@mesmerizingstars]

wow so much pregnant moms out here! ☺️💞

[@jessicasmalls5485]

To encourage you, my first birth was soooo long and painful, I honestly thought I was demon possessed. Lol! My next one was four hours from first contraction to birth - I kept waiting to feel the same kind of pain I did the first time, and it never happened! (So I almost delivered in the car and my husband missed the birth but hey, I’ll take that over the first labor and delivery experience) so I hope that happens with you as well, such a redemptive birth!!

[@katetoman2042]

Micah and Matthias sound really good together to me! It means Gift of God too which is lovely

[@lydiacarlock8]

21 weeks pregnant here with my first baby and it’s a boy!!🤰 Feeling like it’s the year for baby boys hehe 😉🥰 Not using these for our babykins, but I love Judah, Josiah, Luca, anything that would end with the “ah” could go well with Micah’s name 😍 Can’t wait to see what you end up naming precious baby boy! 😊🤍

[@leahfry13]

I am also 21 weeks along with our first! So excited for a summer baby❤ we’re having a girl!

[@Womensnutrition]

Agree with you. This is the year for boys 😂

[@baileyharris5064]

Pregnant together with you x 2!!! I had my first baby May 2022 and I’m due April 10th this time. It’s so fun to have someone’s content to watch that’s so relevant to me right now!! 🥳 praying for a redemptive birth and asking for prayers in return as I ended up in a c-section with baby #1 and am hoping for a VBAC this go around ❤️

[@jenniferortiz3901]

I’m pregnant with my first right now. 29 weeks and 4 days. Watching you guys has been very encouraging to me during this time. It’s a boy and he was a surprise but we are super excited and anxious all at the same time. I’m due in March and at this point in pregnancy I’m over it lol. But those who wait on the Lord will have renewed strength ❤

[@mesmerizingstars]

May God bless your family and your little one!! 💞💞💞

[@AH-cw9dq]

My first pregnancy! We’re not finding out the gender but the name we have picked out if baby is a boy is Simon Peter. He’s my favorite disciple of Christ and I think a lot of us can relate to him. Simon means “to hear/listen” and Peter means “rock”.

[@storm_that]

Just had my baby in December! Saw a pelvic floor therapist prenatally (waiting for my 6wk to go back) and definitely recommend!

[@kylakyla3190]

Our babies are literally days apart! My first was born at the being of November 2022 and I’m currently 30 weeks pregnant with baby number two! Kinda crazy how close we’ve been both times!

[@savannahkensell8678]

Some people don’t have time lol some of us are working long shifts, have multiple infant children who don’t sleep. Have no support, have our own health problems, only having 1 hr sleep most nights or have high needs children. Sometimes you don’t even have time to eat so no we can’t always make the time.

[@cdesjardins1988]

You are a little ahead of me if I'm right. I'm currently 30w4d. 3/27/24 I need to do some pelvic floor exercises I'm so behind. Life is just so crazy right now. ❤

[@alicardon1013]

I had a car baby the second time. I can confirm… the second comes a bit faster 😂 not to worry though, it was an incredible experience. I now have 4 boys and made it to the hospital with the next births lol. Praying for a redemptive birth for you and a beautiful transition as a family of four! 😊

[@aly7409]

I’m 11 weeks with my first! Love your videos. Praying for a healthy & beautiful rest of your pregnancy and birth!

[@emily_sarah]

Woohoo! We are pregnant together 🎉 this is my first bebe :) and due in April! Definitely praying over your labor that it will be filled with His supernatural peace and joy! 🤍✨so stoked for you guys 🙌🏽

[@naomitrollopeillustration]

So know what you mean about the pregnancy emotions. I’m currently 11 weeks with our second and my husband jokingly called me ‘lazy’ this morning and I literally cried. He was so sorry haha! I thought I’d surpassed the throwing up stage then as soon as I hit ten weeks I started throwing up. So sorry you had nausea until 16 weeks… so exhausting. But it’s all so worth it in the end. So excited for you to have two gorgeous boys so close in age!

[@naomitrollopeillustration]

Also we’re not going to be finding out with this pregnancy (our first is a little girl!) but if we have a boy, we love the names Gabriel and Forrest.

[@tamaranicole1585]

Caleb 🩶 - means faithful, wholehearted or devotion to God. We have a Caleb Josiah and he is the sweetest little boy, he’s just a delight! Congrats on another boy!

[@tamaranicole1585]

On the note of second labours being faster, yes!! General rule of thumb is your active labour halves, I almost had my son at home because I transitioned waaay faster than I expected. It wasn’t until my mum saw me, she told me I had to leave immediately. Got to the birth centre and had him 10 mins later! Watch out for the second babies, always in a rush 🥰

[@aliaporter6463]

I was pregnant during the same time you were with Micah (my baby boy was born 2 weeks after Micah!) and now am pregnant again with you, due in June! So fun 🤍 prayers for healthy pregnancies and deliveries for us mamas!

[@offically.miaary]

Luca is soooo cuteeee name. Also Caleb, and the middle name lamb is so cool.

[@delaneylounsbrough]

I’m 25 weeks with my first & also due in April !! having a boy & my husband and I are so excited 🩵🍼🕊️

[@Womensnutrition]

Pregnant with you for the first time 😊😊😊 so excited! Cos I've watched your videos wwwaaaayyy before Micah came along, and so I feel so blessed to be on this journey with you and Milena C. P.s I'm also using What To Expect...and it's awesome!

[@hadassahlowe8414]

I am currently pregnant with my first! It is a boy and I just hit 28 weeks today! The baby is due the second week of April!

[@lucynichols1971]

Hi Tori!! We were pregnant with our firsts together (born November 2022, I was a couple weeks ahead of you), and now I’m about 12 weeks behind you with #2 ❤️

[@shayanadavis4554]

Dominic and Zachary and Nicholas. All have nicknames and great meanings and sound good with Micah!

[@julianichols4780]

I'd love to see y'all's health/fitness journey, I just enjoy your energy no matter the mood your in on your videos.

[@MakingMcConnells]

I had NO idea that there were gyms that offer child care so when I had my first daughter and someone suggested finding one it was a life changer! Most places will allow 2hrs a day 5x a week included with your membership which is amazing! It socializes your child and allows you to workout AND shower Monday-Friday uninterrupted which is such a blessing. Maybe utilizing something like that could help you get back into a routine 🤍

[@sarahchadwick4672]

Always love to see the Tori and Chad notification 🤭🤭❤️❤️

[@avelinasterckx6648]

Was pregnant with you last time. Had my boy in January. 😊 Not pregnant now though. Have had some pelvic floor problems post partum and seeing (the sweedish version of) a pelvis floor specialist has been great and helped a lot! 👌

[@carolmoody1955]

Matthew, Gift of God

[@haleyreinecke7740]

I found your channel during my first pregnancy while you were pregnant with Micah, and now I’m due in May with our second. :) I did end up doing pelvic floor therapy postpartum and it helped so much! I’m trying to keep up with the exercises during my pregnancy this time as well, hopefully it will help. I hope it can help you as well, I’m sure it will! ♥️

[@ramsimartinez2460]

Luca/Luka - means bringer of light!! I love this name and we actually are planning on naming our daughter (due in May) Micah and Luca is a boy name we think sounds great with it

[@stephanieperkins8801]

Baby boy name suggestion- I agree boy names are so difficult! After 8 years and a big struggle including 3 years of IVF we welcomed our second beautiful boy and named him Asher. The biblical meaning is happiness comes from the Hebrew word Osher. Our Asher is definitely that he brings so much happiness and this baby seems that he has also done that. I think it goes beautifully with Micah and Masters. Good luck finding a fitting name for your boy. Sending lots of love

[@taylorkaufman4574]

My first labor was 9 hours my second was 5 hours but we got to the hospital and he was born in 2 hours once we got there so it was fast! My third baby was 7 hours. Hope this birth goes better for you! And will be praying for health for you all ❤

[@kandacekirsch]

2nd pregnancy here too!! :) My first baby girl will be two this Saturday and baby girl #2 will be here late April!

[@Valoriebeni]

We have a Micah as well! Baby brother will be here in a couple of weeks and his name is Miles (soldier). I think they go so well together ❤

[@abbyfurry498]

I have a little nephew named Malachi! I feel like having a Micah and a Malachi would be so cuuute! ❤

[@abigailheeke7543]

So excited for y’all!!! I can’t wait to hear what you’re going to name baby boy #2! My favorite boy names are Matthew, William, and Frederick!

[@molliehudson3496]

Welcome to Franklin! Sorry about the weather… 😬 😱 Love these names but didn’t end up using any of them…Isaiah, Judea (Jude), Ezra, Benjamin. ❤ blessings

[@maddykunshier6410]

I was pregnant with you the first time around (daughter born in Jan 2023) and I was pregnant with you this time as well (daughter born in Dec 2023). Irish twin girls, born 10.5 months apart - Millie & Malia💗 I too had an unpleasant first birth experience. Birth center labor that ended with an emergency ambulance transfer to a hospital due to 2 vaginal hemotomas that had ruptured. Which also was due to my pelvic floor being too tight (wow we have a lot of similarities I didn't realize until typing this out!) After my 6 week pp visit I started pelvic floor therapy and I can confidently say it worked wonders for me. I didn't have any of those issues with my 2nd pregnancy, labor and delivery or postpartum (here's hoping it stays that way)! And my 2nd birth was THREE hours, start to finish. When people asked me how I felt about my 2nd birth I told them that it was incredibly redemptive. I pray the same for you Tori!

[@sarahebeid6382]

I love the name Eliot after Jim Eliot the missionary and martyr in equador... amazing man ti be named after.. you could even do it with two ts.. Elliott

[@savannahkellum4895]

I’m pregnant with my first! We just found out we’re also having a baby boy. I am so stuck on names. I have 3 girls names on the ready but no boy names, so I definitely relate to you on that!

[@letstalkwithmellywelly7445]

Boy name - Mathias meaning Gift of God. Really happy for you guys. May God continue to pour out his blessings on y’all❤

[@iraflora1616]

Joshua- God is deliverance, samuel-god has heard

[@therealsubaekhyang]

[@EbeA-xb6vn]

I love the name Noah because it means “peace”. I also love Myles, meaning “soldier”

[@abbimcdulingactiveliving1680]

We had our son Josiah in 2023 - it’s a beautiful strong biblical name ❤

[@robertlamm2597]

Hey guy congratulations for baby # 2 coming I love you guys u guys make really good videos good luck

[@leahfry13]

Love these types of recaps! I am 21 weeks along with our first baby, so nice to do pregnancy alongside you Tori and all the ladies in the comments! We are having a girl and I definitely need name ideas :)

[@MP-jq2ng]

Love the name Levi 💙

[@sarawyliearmstrong]

If you’re looking for a great pelvic floor specialist in the Nash area- Onward Physical Therapy! Dr. Alexis & Dr. Jessi are fantastic!!! Alexis actually teaches continued Ed for other PTs to know how to treat pelvic floor:)

[@heathermullinax3503]

I know two brothers named Micah and Ezra. I love It

[@annlavine3576]

Glen and Scott 2 of my fav pastors

[@mykacrossen]

I think Malachi is such a cute name and pairs so well with Micah!

[@rachelgideon485]

Hallo liebe Laila! Ich bin jetzt in der 14. SSW und ja, das Liebe-Machen ist einfach wunderschön🥰 Ich brenne einfach nur, zu erfahren ob Ich eine kleine Prinzessin oder einen kleinen Prinzen trage. Ich könnte auf gar keinen Fall bis zur Geburt warten! Was die Impfungen betrifft, ich habe mich in der letzten Schwangerschaft impfen lassen, da die gesamte Schwangerschaft in der kalten Jahreszeit verlief und ich sehr zu Grippen neige. Und da habe ich tatsächlich nicht einmal eine Erkältung bekommen. Daher lasse ich mich dieses Mal gerne wieder impfen❤

[@taraleasure]

I’ve always loved the name Levi!

[@CreaVidsMUSIC]

Great video, Tori, and thank you for sharing your experiences with us! A good baby name that goes with Micah, yet, has a purposeful message is, Nehemiah, which means "Yahweh has comforted."

[@annadavenporttt]

I’m 19 weeks pregnant with our first! Having a baby girl! So excited!! Feel like everyone is pregnant and due this spring or summer 😂

[@annahburge2022]

Hey! FTM 33 weeks pregnant here!! I LOVE watching pregnancy videos!! I’ve been following since before y’all got pregnant with Micah so it’s been cool seeing you pregnant a second time while I’m pregnant with my first!🥰 Any advice you have for a FTM I would love!! I pray that you have a fast and painless Birth!

[@milanaammari]

I think Nehemiah is so cute.. Micah and Nehemiah… I know it’s a very old sounding name but it’s so cute🙈🙈.. and I know you love that book.

[@mesmerizingstars]

first boy name I thought of was Noah!! I think it’s a great name and would sound great together with Micah ☺️☺️💞

[@JessicaandTimothyCole]

Isaac - One who laughs or rejoices 💙

My nephew's name is Azariah, I think it would go very well with Micah (:

[@Crochetokay7]

I love Biblical meaning names and two specifically came to mind for baby! How about the names Greyson/Grayson Masters or Hudson Masters? I think Micah and Greyson/Grayson sound cute together and so does Micah and Hudson! 😊 Greyson/Grayson means “son of a steward” 💙💙 Hudson means “son of God”💙💙

[@benjaminvidrascu7179]

Luca would be a beautiful name. My boy is called Luca and he’s so special❤️

[@abbyallen8550]

Boy name ideas: Stetson Charlie- free man/ warrior Benjamin- son of the right hand Gabriel- god is my strength

[@tabea1453]

I highly highly recommend the pain free birth course. It's Christian and I helped me with baby #2 soooo much.

[@debchaffin]
