PREGNANCY UPDATE: I'M 24 WEEKS!

[@Kate-xi8yy]

Congratulations! A sleep tip that worked for me. I saw a neuroscientist, Dr.Matthew Walker, recently share a study that said counting sheep is proven not to work, but thinking through every detail of your morning routine, walk, or run, etc.. has proven to work. I think through my run and have not gotten much farther than my driveway each time before I am asleep. Incredible! I think about putting on my workout clothes, my shoes, my watch, I think about walking downstairs, through the garage, looking at my Apple watch to start the run timer...see the countdown, my mailbox....😴Worth a try! Best of luck, Mama!

We loved Emily Oster's book Cribsheet!

Bubbling water is the best way you described it! I felt this at 14 weeks! and now at 20 weeks baby is more active and its more like a hand underwater swimming vibrations.but early pregnancy its definitely bubbles and quickening

[@commy741]

Congratulations Dr Ali I tapp unto ur blessings, am next oooh 🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@emilyjayden9774]

Congratulations Dr. Ali, I was just wondering as a medical assistant, how does the sex of the baby have to do with the viability of the baby?

[@amberkelly7478]

Try paired muscle relaxation/intentionally releasing any muscle tension when it’s time to go to sleep. Look up a guided meditation for this on KZbin. It really makes a difference. Also, how do you handle waiting SOO long to share the news?! I get the reason behind it and I’m waiting too for the most part but it’s so hard! Also scared of potential complications. Any tips for getting through this early period?

[@Leelee-op7vj]

You look radiant.

[@frenchie13]

What is your favorite brand of prenatal vitamins /do you recommend?

[@carlysponseller8183]

I’m also 24 weeks! I’m due 12/6! What about you? Congratulations 🎈

[@trinitylace1101]

I hope you had a safe delivery💗

[@Tbaby9361]

Hi I have a question when is a good time to tell family and friend your pregnant if u want to wait until u know your baby is 100% healthy ?

[@dorathompson3054]

Yes I wonder the same

[@kellyfinley4419]

Generally they say 12 weeks

[@SandraSilva-sz3zb]

I wonder this too, bc I know at 20 weeks the anatomy scan is performed

[@ladonnayoung676]

Dr. I am 53 yrs old. I still have painful periods. 2yrs. ago I discovered taking Saw Pametto interrupted my menstrual cycle and stopped my painful bleeding and cramping. So since then I have taken some 600mg to 900mg a month. Am I causing myself hormonal problems or worse?. I have found no literature on Saw Palmetto being used as I am using it.

[@SWGIRL831]

Yes...I am going to be that mom. I read books and they were useless because every child is different. I have 4 and I have to parent each of them differently. I have found internet communities to be the most helpful...moms helping moms. Books about sleep have helped but everything else...did not prepare me at all. Take what is written with a grain of salt and just do your best to get to know your baby.

[@jamesevuichard6061]

Whats the name or the site/cost of the class you mentioned?

[@CrystalRuiz-b9v]

Highly recommend Baby 411 from pediatrician Dr. Ari Brown!

[@alirodmd]

I’ve heard a lot of people talk about this one! I’ll need to check it out!!

[@lizbetguerrero9010]

Felicidades!!🩷

[@taniabomshtein5117]

How do you pee in the jumpsuit? That’s my main reason that I don’t wear them lol … hate getting everything off… Especially that you’re pregnant and need to pee every second lol But it’s looks amazing on you 😊

[@alirodmd]

Unzip and pee! I find it pretty easy honestly! Worth how comfortable they are!

[@heavenly4374]

Coffee can affect ur sleep.
