3RD TRIMESTER VLOG! preparing for a newborn & my 3rd trimester checklist

[@rachelmiller7086]

Your due date is the same as the baby I miscarried back in January. It’s bittersweet to think about being as far along in my pregnancy as you are now if I never lost the baby. But thank the Lord for His perfect provision, I am 19 weeks pregnant with my rainbow baby boy and we are so thankful. So excited to see all of the sweet milestones you have with your precious baby boy, Jess!

[@芋泥米泥米]

Jess's videos are always my comfort vids, wish you have a calm successful 3rd trimester and off to giving birth! Can't wait!

[@amandaprice87]

She has such a calming voice doesn’t she? 😁

[@Iam_laurenthrasherrr]

Says one thing you’re going through…”not to complain” ahhh Jess, you’re so humble but you’re a human! We expect you to tell us what you’re going through! Sending you so much love!!!

[@lauraferreira199]

oh my gosh, time flies by so quick! 🥹🥰 you look amazing, mama!! I’m so happy for you guys, I’m wishing you a blessed third trimester and labour too, sending so much love🤍 xx

[@umaierahinsyirah]

my forever comfort human being

[@AbbyX365]

I don’t know why but I felt so peaceful watching this. Just something about your videos. Jess is just soft spoken. Praying for relief from the aches and pains.

[@tamaranr22]

I just know once I get pregnant I'll go back and watch all your pregnancy vlogs, I fully trust everything you recommend haha and also this kind of vlogs are so relaxing to watch 💛 biggest fan of your content for suree💫

[@judithecarlton]

I did that when I became pregnant😄 it was so helpful!

[@bristevens.]

Same!! I get the best ideas 🥰

[@elliert13]

the amount of effort u put into ur friends gift is just so incredibly sweet and it shows how thoughtful u are, ur vibes are just so good

[@ShuklaAayushi]

You do such an impressive job with all your party decor and diy gift wraps. I wish you loads of happy memories and relief from the aches and pains. ❤

[@kimberlims1190]

We love the egg light! Used it lots in the middle of the night, and it's so helpful to just tap it to turn on/adjust the dim level so you're not searching for buttons in the dark.

[@bristevens.]

I was wondering if dimmed thank you!! I need for my newborn later this year 🥰

[@Calliemcdonald]

Currently I am a FTM with a 3 month old, I work full time in surgery and am a full time student (aspiring for med school) and so I don’t get to spend alot of time watching videos anymore but I have notifications on for you and it’s such a nice treat to get to watch during my lunch. It feels like FaceTiming w a big sister and I love it sm

[@holymudblood]

Just commenting to say wow, you’re amazing! I went through med school and am now a mum too, currently on maternity leave, but sounds lol you’re juggling everything really well! Best of luck with everything xx

[@damarisnaomi]

Go you!! What the heck!! You’re a real super hero 🦸‍♀️

[@bristevens.]

Same here life is so busy but her vids are so sweet 🥰

[@kirstiecole6874]

That little egg light is amazing and perfect for middle of the night changes, etc since you can put it right where you need it and adjust the brightness. One of my most loved items!

[@priyalmalakar8175]

I just feel such comfort watching jess... Really thankful for you❤❤

[@LaurenTuong]

Another day, another Jess vlog ❤❤❤ My fav cozy time!!!!!!!! Love love love 💕

[@annabakker731]

The fresh test is the best! I had to buy my own but you don’t feel near as sick afterward! So glad they offer it for you!

[@Dancer5617]

For the leg cramps, while it’s happening flex your feet all the way until it stops. The pain practically disappears. Pointing the feet will make it 10x worse

[@Tamariasmr]

I love your videos because you show real life, for example I never knew about these different tests you do in pregnancy. A lot of people just show the glamorous part in social media but your vulnerability helps 😊

[@thisisbrooke01]

The best advice I ever got about Charley horses was to stand up and put weight on your leg as soon as it starts. I got so many when I was pregnant!

[@tamaranr22]

omg time literally went by so fast, I'm so excited can wait for the little boy to be here 💛 wishing you the best for that moment

[@jesspavao4886]

I give you so much credit for all that you do Jess you inspire me and excite me for my future just watching you❤

[@samanthagrace13]

Praying you feel better with those cramps! Sending love 🙏🏻🤍 I absolutely love your vlogs, they provide me with so much comfort because it’s like us girls chatting, catching up and I LOVE ITTTT. ☺️🤍✨

[@erynranney]

Lush makes a super nice magnesium lotion bar that has lavender and it smells so dreamy and helps relax muscles!

[@bristevens.]

I’ve never ever heard of a lotion bar I need to try it too!!

[@withthetrans]

i'm in my first pregnancy, second trimester, and literally wrote down most of your 3rd trimester checklist LOL thank you for sharing these tips!! love your intentionality with the gifts and cards too - so inspiring! idk how you do so much honestly most of the time i'm so tired after i do just one errand/task haha. and the brown looks so good, at first i wasn't sure if it'd make a difference but it looks gorgeous! so happy and excited for you guys and for baby to come soon!!💕

[@leticiavargas6245]

every videos you upload, it’s very better days and love how you share with us ❤️❤️❤️

[@ariannecubangbang]

Hi Jess! Your vlogs are so uplifting and inspiring. Thank you so much! 🤍

[@kanakoakashi9184]

I gave a birth a baby boy in May and been watching your baby videos a lot ! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences it helps a lot 🫶🏼

[@bristevens.]

Aww congrats!! 🥹

[@__your_girl_abby___]

omigosh you’re so close, Jess girl! keeping you in my prayers. 🤍🤍🤍

[@lilybueker6628]

I am so happy they gave you the fresh test to take instead! That is absolutely amazing of them!

[@HelloMoto_]

The muscle cramps are the worst!!! The magnesium spray helps a bit, put it on before bed and hydrate before going to sleep. I was scared of the glucose test because everyone seems to have a bad experience but the orange flavored tasted like a Fanta ish, it wasn’t bad at all.

[@isabellalacy9901]

Ahh Jess! I love this so much and I am so inspired by your videos. You are such a light and so kind to others. I can’t wait to see you become a mom of two in a few weeks. Thank you for always showing up for us and uploading videos every week. They are so fun to watch and I love seeing your day to day life. Ilysm and I hope you’re having an amazing day 💕

[@bristevens.]

I feel exactly the same!! It’s crazy how consistent she’s always been 🥹

[@tatumgeiser5555]

These videos about pregnancy make me so happy- I’m currently expecting my first baby (a little boy💙) in November and it is sweet to see the little updates and videos of your experience! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@bristevens.]

Omg I’m expecting late November too 🥹🥹 congrats!!

[@alinaespinoza3531]

The book about the first song sounds so beautiful. Made me tear up hearing you read it out loud 🥺❤

[@proudmommyforlife]

I thought the same! I paused the video and went and added it to my amazon cart =)

[@yeolaquina]

oh gosh almost there! we're all excited for kaia being a big sister 🥺💛

[@JessConte]

🥲

[@tristin301]

Just had my baby boy 3 weeks ago and watching your videos is so comforting. Praying for a safe 3rd trimester and delivery🩵

[@sophiemcgrath3361]

Hey Jess! I had the comfiest button up nightgown/shirt for my postpartum and it was Cotton On Body! Definitely worth a look, I lived in it! 💕

[@Amy-mm1qj]

I’m also in third trimester and if I make sure I do at least 2 of these things I seem to avoid the restless legs and cramps: epsom salt bath, magnesium gummies, magnesium cream (spray doesn’t work as well for me) and a pillow between the legs (from thigh to ankles). Also trying to fall asleep with legs long as much as possible not scrunched up and flexing feet when waking. Good luck!

[@chardonnayharte5787]

I’m so happy for you guys been here since day one god bless you ❤

[@therealkenzi]

Hi Jess!! So excited to watch this!! I’ve been rewatching old vids because I love your videos so much!

[@dina6001]

Love your videos ❤️ they’re so calming to me 🥰

[@rebellefleurrr]

I love your videos, Jess! You are such an inspiration ❤

[@kulsoomaslam]

I'm 4 weeks pregnant and each of your videos are so helpful and makes me so happy. ❤❤❤ Love you 💖

[@kaleighstickel7898]

In my first trimester and already going back to your first pregnancy videos and they are so helpful! Excited for even more resources/content 😊

[@biancaazzaro4764]

Jess your voice is so calming! You should totally do asmr or your own podcast. We love you 💞💞

[@kristina3868]

Congratulations on your second baby!! I'm so happy for you

[@ACISLopez]

So excited for you jess! God bless!

[@violetcurrie2650]

Your videos are so calming, I love it!

[@tylerstanway4559]

time flies so quickly, it feels like you announced this pregnancy yesterday 🥲

[@bristevens.]

YES I was like how is she this far along already?? 🥹

[@kaybaby143art3]

I'm in early labor currently and so happy to see your video pop up😂😍 you're videos are always so relaxing and a wonderful distraction today!

[@bristevens.]

Omg!! I hope it went well 🥹

[@kaybaby143art3]

​@bristevens. It went beautifully♡ I have the sweetest baby boy🥰

[@spamfromeva]

Hi Jess, Your vlogs are really cute, and I am so invested in them that I have to watch them while working too.😅❤

[@jamieashton7285]

Can’t wait for the birth vlog 😊

[@IsabelleCroad-Protheroe]

I love your videos! When my partner and I are at that stage of life ( we are planning and seriously talking about it) I will definitely be watching these! Your videos are so informative! Thank you! 🥰

[@bristevens.]

Aww congrats to you and your partner that’s so exciting 🥹

[@IsabelleCroad-Protheroe]

@@bristevens. thank you this won’t be for a few years but we are thinking about it and definitely want children! Thank you for the support ❤

[@IsabelleCroad-Protheroe]

We are excited for when the time comes! 🥹🥰

[@taya279]

I got cramps also and when I took my iron pill it helped a lot. I only ever have low iron when I’m pregnant.. love you Jess 🩷🩷

[@JoannaCharity]

Jess!!! That book is absolutely precious, made me tear up. I want to buy it and keep it put away for whenever I become a mama. So precious🥹❤️

[@GillGillyBean]

Your hair looks so lovely Jess…love the colour and it adds a lot of body too (not that it was limp beforehand!) x

[@marisa3148]

So lucky that you didn’t end up with GD! I was one of the unfortunate ones that had to take the horrible 3 hour glucose test after failing the 1 hour. 😩 now I’m stuck monitoring my sugars and pricking my finger 4 times a day. 😅 can’t wait for all this to be over lol!

[@RachaelNelson-df3qc]

That sickest thing I ever had to done

[@rebeccabundock6334]

Great video! Remember to return your car seat to the correct position even when not used. It isn't fully secured when facing out and damages the seat :)

[@delaneygray9523]

Also pregnant with my second end of August, also a boy. Have a girl who’s 2.5 😊 so these videos are so fun to watch - similar journeys! ❤

[@kickash]

I have the same night light. You can hold on the top of it to dim it down more or brighten it

[@gwennajera3049]

Hi Jess, can you film a video with ur eyelashes serums recomendation?

[@helloimjoann]

So sweet that we’re pregnant at the same time, also due in August with my baby boy 💛 congratulations to you & your family! 🥰

[@chantelled7710]

Literally glowing in the thumbnail!

[@MariaM-cs8ix]

hi jess! my aunty is pregnant at the same time as you. praying for a safe pregnancy and birth for both babies. can’t wait to meet baby conte 2 and my new baby cousin 🤩🤩🤩💜

[@JessConte]

thats so exciting!! 🥰

[@marisolpereztejeda9089]

Hello there Jess, on you Check list, pack something for Gabe, like hus favorites snacks, little lego thing lol... his more confortable blanquet, extra cloth, health supplies.... Something like that.

[@LovingGodLovingOthers]

I’m from Houston Texas and me (my boyfriend and sister too) got our footprints done on paper when we were born!! I thought everywhere did that, it’s cool Australia does too☺️ loving these pregnancy vlogs! They’re super helpful for me

[@AbbyMcGuire23]

Pro tip- you do NOT have to do the glucose test! There are alternative ways to test for gestational diabetes 😊 I did a tiny finger prick over a few days and it was so easy and no yucky sugary drink that makes you sick! Lol

[@aasiyahhasan7664]

Good morning beautiful people ❤ hope everyone has a wonderful day!

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning happy Wednesday afternoon and happy summer day and im proud of you and you are amazing supporter

[@shivaaanshi]

just love watching your videos!! 🥰

[@maiko2022000]

My delivery due date is almost same as you. I am using magnesium cream I bought at amazon. It’s so helpful.

[@couchcatato]

Awww I actually miss seeing Mi Mi so much 😍

[@Mcnxb_Vlogs]

We get something locally called mineral magnesium spray or ointment. It got me through the worst Cramps 😊

[@sarahbaker4378]

I did the fresh test as well and loved it!

[@aasrithalingam3473]

your vlogs are my absolute favourite, lots of love!

[@marie-evecote6645]

Love your videos❤!! I would really love to hear about the sleeping situation. Struggling here as a new mom of a 7 months old !!!

[@Emily-oh6ih]

Also had the leg cramping with my boy. Calcium is great for the leg cramps because the baby needs the calcium for their bone growth as well!!

[@RachaelNelson-df3qc]

Mag was what she lacks in use at night

[@margueritejones2839]

CRAMPS can be soooo intense. Yes for Magnesium!! But be sure to also take Zinc with it!! Super important.

[@kaitlynwells23]

Hey! I love the footprint kit idea and I’m in SC and I’m pregnant with my second baby too! When I had my first last year, the hospital had the footprint option so it may be available for you in TN :)

[@aureecee3781]

Hey Jess charley horses can also mean low potassium or calcium. 🤍

[@valentinarevutskaya6545]

Omg that book sounds amazing, going to get one for my baby boy.

[@tamarajmorris]

Your hair looks great! So pretty!

[@Itzezyyyy]

I remember also taking my glucose test during pregnancy where they draw blood after I drink a sugary drink as well. I remember getting shots but I forget if it was to get me to pee or for an actual glucose test haha

[@tamaranr22]

hi bestiee haha, love love love this catching up vlogs 💛 Thank you for sharing this journey with us 🌟and I'm so happy everything is going so well for you and the baby

[@kymkymie]

Hi jess, hope you're doing well❤

[@joyfullyjenniferbelle]

So exciting!!

[@xuanerch8515]

love you jess !

[@ingrid5973]

your hair looks great!

[@MummaBauer]

So excited for August 🥰💙👣

[@AleenaShaikh-xq5zk]

jess you're so pretty

[@morganeley2736]

I did the Fresh Test and it was great!! I'm so silly: when you were talking about the glucose test, I paused the video and wrote a whole comment about the Fresh Test...then kept watching and saw you used it this time :D

[@TheCandyxoxo1]

Love you Jess! Be careful with dying hair when pregnant i heard it’s not good to do that just in case you may not have known!💖💖

[@Urthsmore]

Hi jess,Always enjoy your videos, where is the brown high chair you have for Makaih?🪷 Also, wishing you a great birth to your sweet baby boy 👶🏻

[@Haygou21]

I had such jitters after my glucose test! A neighbor recommended a magnesium spray for leg cramps. Nothing like those during pregnancy 😮

[@heathermullinax3503]

I teared up at that book. Gotta buy that for my little❤

[@bristevens.]

I have it and literally cry when reading it to mine 🥹

[@lucymojado]

I don’t know if it works the same way all across the US, but the hospital provided the stool softener and they gifted us the paper with her foot print (I gave birth in NYC) so you might not have to worry about those ☺️

[@Kj81923]

For your Charlie horses/leg cramps. Drink some pickle juice as soon as it comes. I know it sounds crazy, but it works! The quickest thing to get rid of them :D

[@awwtia.__]

I can’t believe baby boy is almost here 😭

[@manuellafohrer9053]

Hi Jess! What sleeping course did you take ? I’m currently looking for one :) thanks 🥰

[@andrearamirez6659]

Idk if boy pregnancies are like this. But I was the same when I was on my 3rd trimester with my little boy. My back pain was intense, also those leg cramps are usually because you have low iron, you should check that just in case 😊

[@trendyplantmom]

we seriously have sooo many similarities 😭😭😭 I found the exact same preggo pillow with my second and donated the U shaped one! 💚

[@lexiandjared9376]

Year of the baby boy! Due with our son in October
