6 WEEKS PREGNANT WITH BABY #2: Early Pregnancy Vlog, Morning Sickness & Exhausted in Pregnancy

[@EllyJellyBean99]

We're literally pregnant at the same exact time and the same number of weeks along, it's so, so fun ❤ I'll be really interested to see if you did the Sneak Peek or not. We did it but we don't trust the results due to the likelihood of contamination and the fact we have lots of male pets etc too so hard to avoid the male pet hair! I've also heard of people having girl results that turned out to be incorrect too! I don't think I'd do it again next time having read about all the incorrect results... 😬 We're going for a private 16 week scan in a few days... only time will tell! xx

[@traceygrabham5464]

Everytime I felt sick I had ginger nut biscuits and they worked a treat! Hope the sickness goes away and you start to feel better. ❤️❤️

[@rachelc2224]

I’m 37 weeks with my first and I absolutely hated the first trimester. Second and third have been so much kinder to me 🥹

[@alixfree]

Sipping on sparkling water was a god send for me! Its a fantastic stomach settler. I had morning sickness from wk6 - wk16, definitely one of the worst parts of pregnancy. Keep going, youre doing brilliant ❤

[@hollybea9676]

I will never forget that first trimester. The tiredness is insane. I also had the worst sickness, it was horrific. Take one day at a time lovely. Keep hold of that excitement through the hard times ❤

[@hollybea9676]

I just clicked that this was obviously filmed before. I hope you’re feeling better now you’re a bit further along!

[@abierosebooks7720]

I’m 37 weeks right now and don’t miss those first 20 weeks. Week 6 was When it started getting bad for me sick wise too.

[@slaybells6848]

I feel ya! we always forget how bad the sickness is because by the time baby is here the first trimester is like a distant memory 🤪 my second baby is 6 months old and I didn't leave the house for 2 months because I was SO SICK !

[@HomeWithShan]

I feel you girl! It’s so funny that we forget all about it isn’t it😂🤣♥️

[@agneslowe4898]

Bless you. I unfortunately just miscarried baby no 2 before I could reach week 6 so I’m glad besides the sickness you’re doing well. Wishing you all the best x

[@HomeWithShan]

Oh babe I’m so sorry to hear this 💔 I hope you’re doing okay xx

[@joinhismajesty]

Very reminiscent of my second pregnancy. I think having a toddler to look after makes all of the symptoms such as sickness, tiredness and aching worse. I had spotting on and off during the first trimester. Apparently it was implantation bleeding, but it was scary at the time. Looking forward to more updates.

[@emilymay4536]

We used to sell chocolate ginger biscuits where I work and they got me through the early stages of pregnancy 😂 I used the sickness bands as well, it’s so easy to forget how those symptoms take over 🙈

[@LeonieParker]

I have to stay this time round my lower back pain has kicked in since the first trimester. It's not all the time but when I get it is pretty painful! Dreading it in the third trimester

[@victoriatowell2979]

I had the tiniest bit of spotting when I was about 6 weeks, not nice! I had loads of pain too and just put it down to back to back babies. I wonder if it’s more common second time round? I know this is in the past but sounds like you need to go easy on yourself! My granny used to say ‘tidying up will still be there tomorrow’ I know it’s hard when you are more house proud but don’t stretch yourself too thin lovely ❤

[@thehowelldiaries]

I am loving watching your pregnancy vlogs - it’s brought back so much! I was super sick (with my now 1 year old) and it was awful. I really struggled having toast - or most things - and even the smell of it now isn’t my favourite! Wishing you all the love and luck, so excited to see your journey! xx

[@MissVanillaLime]

Totally off topic but where is your cardigan from? 😍 Hope it eases up for you soon, I’m really enjoying the vlogs x

[@Jocawe]

The tireness will never leave! Running arundel after 2 kids is exhausting I'm more tired now then when i was pregnant with my second 😟😟xx

[@TheBiteofFreedom]

@HomeWIthShan what brand of the anti nausea wrist band do you use? i'm 5 weeks and looking for the right brand

[@andreacharlton2696]

I always found if I ate something small before I felt too sick it made the nausea go away for a bit, only worked sometimes tho 😅

[@NR-bw6gh]

Omg! Lightning crotch was my first early pregnancy symptom. I’ve heard people have it in third trimester but it’s interesting to hear you are experiencing it in these early stages too! A very strange phenomenon lol

[@Misty-zf6tp]

Try something with ginger like ginger beer or something take care

[@natasha-leainnes3737]

I was like this in early pregnancy, the sickness has eased for me but I struggle to eat big meals if I do ill be sick.

[@ox4920]

I had SPD really bad from around 10 weeks, by the time I got to end of my pregnancy I could barely walk. Puts me off for the future for sure 😬😬

[@lauratrevena7622]

My first pregnancy I could only eat beige food up to 18 weeks and I snacked on ginger biscuits and crackers. Toast was a no no. I took folic acid all the way through pregnancy to help with the energy. Take care of yourself momma bear ❤

[@rachelboyall9956]

The joys of early pregnancy, I was the same and only wanted beige food and I can remember just looking at my partner preparing chicken and wanting the puke and him being completely baffled! It’s so hard to understand yourself let alone even try and explain isn’t it!

[@Geddesfamily]

Hope you,a&g had a lovely new year❤

[@HomeWithShan]

Thank you so much! Sending you and your family lots of love xx

[@tillhines]

Just a tip for nausea bands anyone who needs it. Make sure there not over stretched so they can put the right pressure on. Ive gone through 2 pairs during pregnancy 😂

[@kate-br3be]

I can't hardly stand to eat sweet stuff....craving sour stuff and super bloated. Also using the Sea bands, and they seem to be helping me with nausea 😊

[@hannahemery885]

Oh Shan, it’s like watching myself week 6 was 🤢🤢🤢🤣 so glad you are not going through this now! I remember being on my lunch breaks literally sobbing at the thought of having to go back to work on my laptop from exhaustion and no motivation. My partner was on furlough doing f all I was fuming 😂😂xxx

[@HomeWithShan]

Omg YES! I couldn’t bare it honestly, but so glad that I’m through the worst of the sickness now 😅xxx

[@hannahemery885]

@@HomeWithShan definitely!! Bless you xxx

[@hannah3965]

The sickness bands take some adjusting to be in the correct position- if they aren't putting pressure on the right acupuncture point they won't work efficiently. Do play around with the positioning and also pop them on before you start feeling sick rather than when you start feeling sick. Hope that might help.

[@HomeWithShan]

You’re so right, I literally chucked these on after a shower without really adjusting them properly, when I had them on properly they were much more effective! Xxx

[@jakebailey3415]

@@HomeWithShan you are beautiful 😘😘 xxxx

[@susannemurray7416]

Oh man! Brings back memories. Think pregnacare makes some people really sick. Anyway that could be adding to it? Xx

[@yelena_yelena]

high dose of b6 vitamin helps with nausea

🥰🥰🥰

[@dianastriblea9687]

I love your videos and I am following you for a very long time, but I don't understand the reason of this videos 🙈 . I don't want to be rude, please don't take it this way as I watch vlogs and I like them, but this is too detailed, too many information about sickness and other issues 🙈

[@cattoll1]

Aww I totally disagree. I watched Shan when I was pregnant with my first and found her videos by far the most relatable and comforting. Which followed through with what to buy, toddler tantrums, meal prep etc. I’m not even pregnant but still watching these videos. I know when we get pregnant again I will watch these videos back and compare my symptoms. There’s not much out there that allows you to feel reassured and able to understand everything week by week. I was soooo unwell during my pregnancy and I know I would have found this helpful to watch ❤

[@lucyrose7275]

I disagree too. These videos are really helpful for first time parents and are also realistic, unlike a lot of content that influencers put out there surrounding pregnancy. In my first pregnancy I searched for these type of videos to help me come to terms with symptoms and things to expect etc.

[@nella515]

I get what you’re saying but I also disagree. I can understand how this video may be irrelevant to someone who isn’t pregnant but I’m currently 9 weeks along with my first and I’m struggling! I started looking for videos of people who are feeling the same as me so I can understand if this is normal and know that I’m not alone. I’m so happy Shan is so open and real because most women seem to portray pregnancy as this wonderful time while I had to spend Christmas in bed due to extreme nausea and fatigue

[@dianastriblea9687]

Thank you ladies for understanding my point and reapect it as I do respect yours. ❤

[@JoKaier]

I also see your point but personally disagree. I’ve just been through an awful 1st trimester (it’s so much harder when there is a toddler to look after) and cried many evenings as I felt so ill for 6 weeks in a row, just debilitating nausea and fatigue that never eased and for me it’s lovely to watch people like Shan share these moments, they are raw and relatable and not glossing over pregnancy, which can be a wonderful part of life but it is also hard, lonely and full of uncertainty, particularly the 1st trimester.
