a very raw look at my first trimester... 😅

[@ChloeDezz]

10:26 Jess saying she feels like she’s barely contributing just shows the strength of women. She’s literally growing their child inside her body and still feels like she should be doing more💪🏼

[@moodsofkiwi9285]

I had hyperemesis and was stuck in bed for the majority of the first 17 weeks. It’s no joke. All you women who feel like this should give yourself grace!

[@annapage1410]

i thought the same!!

[@amarahsrabbitry1073]

Yes it’s crazy. I didn’t contribute to the house at ALL during my first pregnancy from 6 weeks to 23 weeks. Thankfully my partner is stellar and never complained, always reminded me how much I WAS doing and how strong I was pushing through hardship and misery.

[@annabarona6531]

Girl, I was sick my entire pregnancy and the nausea was unreal. I actually appreciate you talking about it because everyone I talked to just told me that it would end eventually. It was nice to hear the solidarity! Good luck with your pregnancy. So happy for you both!

[@soullessnight6539]

Ok gosh, I feel your pain. I had nausea 24 hours a day, vomited at least twice at day. When people talk about the labour pains I can’t relate bc as soon as I went into labour, was when my nausea stopped😂. I felt so good, myself again.

[@amor797]

Seeing your comment. I was always wondering if sickness like that isnt a sign of prior digestive issues eveb minor ones but revealed because you can produce more gastic acids and such while prego. I had a friend with crohn disease and she was sick her entire pregnancy, it was obvious for me the real reason. Like her organs overworking too. She didnt change her diet a bit coz she "had her crohn's meds".

[@alena4212]

Me too! My entire first pregnancy, 5 weeks until day of delivery. It was intense, some days vomiting 10 times a day. I was always in the hospital getting IV’s because of dehydration. But my second pregnancy was a breeze!! Night and day and they were both girls! I fell ya girl 😉

[@JamieLatham-oy6rd]

I was also sick my entire pregnancy all day and night from start to finish. Never want to experience that again.

[@user-cs9kr2wl6n]

Omg same😭😭 had to get so many IVs. Threw up all day everyday from the day I turned 6 weeks pregnant to a week after delivery that was so hard but worth it

So happy for you, Jess! Wishing you a blessed pregnancy.

[@minnie777]

Jess I can listen to you talk about your pregnancy nausea all day. Don't worry😅 Your voice is just so calming (which you've probably heard a thousand times before) and it is quite insightful anyway to follow an honest and raw update. We love you and I pray the rest of the pregnancy goes well🥰

[@ericapaige10]

I had my first baby a month after you. I’m now 7 weeks with my second. I’m really struggling with nausea and feeling like I’m bedridden while being a mom to my 1.5 year old. Thanks for helping me not feel so alone 💕

[@devrareed8372]

This brought back so many memories of when I was pregnant with both of my sons. I was nauseous the entire first trimester with them, and as soon as I started my second trimester, the nausea subsided. I hope that the rest of your pregnancy is healthy and comfortable, and you’re both blessed with a healthy, happy baby!! 💛

[@sydneyjtaylor]

I am 16 weeks and have been suffering from intense nausea and vomiting since around 5-6 weeks. I lost 15 pounds my first trimester and had to get IV fluids multiple times a week to survive at my worst. I too am on a prescription medication that I take religiously and even then, I still have days I can’t keep anything down. It’s been so hard, pregnancy is an incredibly humbling and beautiful journey. Thank you for speaking the truth and making me feel so not alone 💛

[@rach9497]

Thank you for sharing such a raw first trimester. I'm currently 18 weeks with my first baby and the nausea absolutely took me out for the first 16 weeks. To the point where I thought I couldn't do it. But I'm finally feeling better now. Seeing someone else go through it is so refreshing. I felt as if I was moaning all the time. Also, ice cold apple juice and apple tango were a life saver! I hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy 💕

[@va7880]

Hey Jess! My husband and I stopped drinking Olipop because we found out they use ingredients like Cassava Root which are known to cause infertility and other reproductive system issues for both males and females. A good alternative we found was Poppi. Doesn't hurt to look into it if you want. Excited to follow your journey with #2!!!

Girl, you’re a rockstar. I’m currently almost 13 weeks and I’ve been about 80% bedridden since 6 weeks. I had HG with my first so what I have now is NOTHING like that, praise the Lord 😅 but the nausea is real! Nothing really helps sometimes and you have to eat and drink regardless. I’m so ready for the 2nd trimester bliss 😅

[@hannahcollinson9309]

Did you not have HG the second time? I had the first time and so scared about getting pregnant again because HG was soo bad!

[@kristincoorough637]

@@hannahcollinson9309 I would say that I didn’t only because while I did lose weight I wasn’t throwing up constantly. I could eat and drink but was still very nauseous. But that was my main worry about getting pregnant again too! It’s so hard to know because some women it gets better and some it gets worse. Even thought this time was a little better for me I was still in bed for days and not able to care for myself properly so unless the Lord has other plans this will most likely be our last 😬 If you choose a second pregnancy I hope it gets better for you!! I’m so sorry you had to experience HG 😔

[@Patristarlightshop]

Girls!! Just so I'm ready when is my turn. We can't take any pain killers for the nausea right? For is dangerous for the baby? Or not? ❤ I would appreciate someone letting me know.

[@crownofsplendor2023]

@@Patristarlightshop My midwife helped me by telling me to eat protein regularly. Any kind of meat. Torino’s Pizza Pockets helped for a bit until I would need them again. Preggy Pops from Walmart would take the edge off in between (prob helping me get mind off). As far as hydration, drink Watermelon Water with electrolytes from Walmart if you can consume and watermelon and cucumbers. I think the mixture of meat and cheese helped for some reason. Tacos 🌮 helped h til I got too nauseous thinking about eating them anymore.

[@crownofsplendor2023]

@@kristincoorough637 There is supposedly a cure coming out and women are excited since they are afraid of it happening in their next pregnancy, but for me, Jesus was my cure. He healed me both times and I’m so thankful because I know it could have continued until delivery. I was able to consume water again after 4-5 months of not being able to. My dehydration was serious. Also try to get a Urinary probiotic if you are dehydrated and pure cranberry juice. Pure pineapple juice helped me some but the sugar content would affect my blood sugar (I’m hypoglycemic) Ultimately, lots of crying out to Jesus to pull me out of the endless crashing waves I felt I was drowning in was the best medicine because He would pull me up and calm my mind, soul, & body.

I have 5 kids right now and had hyperemesis gravidium for all of them. I was on medication as well but also found that limiting carbs and upping my protein definitely helped with nausea and throwing up. Also drank electrolytes. Congratulations!!!

Oh my, do I remember those days! Felt nauseous from morning to night for over 3 months with both of my girls. Would go to bed about 8 o'clock, because then I could sleep, which was the only time I did not feel the nausea. Hardly ever threw up, which I would have preferred. With my son, the oldest, I was nauseous and very sensitive to smell, and I did throw up and usually felt better afterward. But with the girls it was a challenge. Not trying to sound dramatic, but there were days I thought I would not survive this. I got better though around the fourth month, and by month 5 I felt fantastic. Wishing you all the best!

[@sadiecherish9509]

Expecting in August of 2024 as well and I had a very similar experience as you with the tests. It’s so discouraging if you get a false negative.

As someone who has had multiple pregnancies as well as some miscarriages, a tip is that you can open the Digital Pregnancy Test to look at the strip itself.

Nausea only got better after week 18, then I had a month of feeling OKish until the heartburn started again (had the same with my first). This time even the heartburn was a lot worse, I actually asked for some medication for it that THANK GOD solved the issue. I am now actually feeling closest to normal and excited to meet the new member of our family. However, I remember how awful it was this time with my pregnancy so I already told my partner there is NO WAY I am having more than these 2 kids! He has to carry the next himself if he wants more :)

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you Jess! I think you're going to love being a mom of two I have a feeling! As a woman twice your age, I understand your kindness of you not wanting gabe to be let down if he didn't have to be, but it's his responsibility too, to be there for you during those hard and draining times of not getting a positive. He's wanting you to be pregnant also, so going through that shouldn't be solely on you alone! 😢 That honestly makes me sad to think about bc you're only thinking of protecting him when he should be thinking of supporting you! I mean, why was he not keeping up with when you start your period and asking questions like if you had started or were feeling like you might or not, asking if you were going to test, or when you were going to or wanting to test, etc? This isn't ONLY your job bc your the woman! It takes two and that goes for the WHOLE PROCESS! My heart just breaks for you bc it shows a glimpse into a piece of your relationship with him (tiny part i hope) that I could only wish and hope was better for you! Saying all of this with only care, concern and hope that you can see another side maybe and see that he CAN AND COULD do better and more! I just thought back to the other video when he was annoyingly saying y'all weren't actively trying and keeping up with when to partake in things, etc... THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN VERY CLEAR TO HIM IF HE WAS WANTING THIS CHILD TOO! We don't have to hide our periods or cycles and how they work from the men in our lives or even men in general! It's a natural part of being a woman!

[@chelseyraper3751]

Thank you for speaking on this. I had HG which is a term that they called for extreme nauseous. And mine lasted the entire pregnancy. Just thinking about food or anything I was actually SCARED to eat or drink bc I didn’t want to throw up. I ended up being in hospital multiple times a week just bc I was so dehydrated half the time. They started me on a medication called zofran BUT they also have a picc and something else to administer the zofran rather than taking it as pill. It’s nice to know that there is other women that has gone through this. Its not as common as it should be on talking due to people not understanding or believing women that it’s more then “just nauseous, it’s normal” but it’s not normal to have to be on medication just to function during pregnancy. So I really do appreciate the talk on. You got this, stay strong!
