documenting the first trimester after a high risk pregnancy // This Is What Happened

[@mykaydiaries1569]

I remember when you announced your pregnancy, I was feeling a little envious only because my husband and I have been trying for 3 years and I thought I wouldn't have the chance again. But literally a week later I find out I'm pregnant! ❤ I'm about 7 weeks and a few days pregnant. I'm hoping for a VBAC too! So I know the feeling of being so peaceful this time around. I pray God has everything in his hands and blesses us and everyone pregnant during this time with healthy babies. 💕

Congratulations! Glory to God for answered prayers and continued blessings. 🤍

Thank you everyone this baby is our little blessing. 🫶🏻

[@littlemissbekah9722]

Also it's so nice to see someone talking about feeling icky and useless in the beginning of pregnancy. It hit me so hard this time. I know I felt this with my first pregnancy but this time I have a toddler and it is emotionally so much harder to not be able to help and be there as much.

[@thedesertdaydreamer]

Oh my goodness I so agree! I felt completely useless during the first trimester because I was so sick and it was a little bit of a lonely time

[@lovelandskier]

Same! ): it's so much harder with a toddlee

[@alyssaamundson4265]

Same! I'm 15 weeks with a 15 month old toddler and I was so exhausted every day of the first trimester! Starting to get my energy back now which I'm thankful for! Hope everything goes well for you ❤️

[@Ajsupermonkey]

I love that you've kept us along for the ride even though it was a secret for so long. So excited for you and Zach and the kiddos!

[@Sammiejammie521]

I love how you speak about your husband ❤ we need more of that from everyone.

I would LOVE another “Names we like but won’t be using” video. Currently pregnant with baby number 2 and we’re locked in on a boys name but completely stumped for a girl. My oldest is a girl and all the names we like sound too similar to hers

[@hllymchll]

same! I have an Elowen and like the name Rowen/Rowan for a girl (or boy) but it's basically the same name lol. Hoping my number 2 is a boy 🤞🏻

I also have an Elowyn 😊 Rowan was also on my list!

[@hllymchll]

@@sealeymackey4149 if Soren is on your boy list, then we are really the same person 😅. I'm hoping I can use it for my current pregnancy before it becomes more popular, but we're not finding out the gender!

I got my last baby’s middle name from that video with William. His middle name is Wells. His name is Harrison-Grae Wells - Mama on hubby’s account

[@lindsayblackmer]

I’ve had 3 miscarriages. 2 right before this pregnancy. But this one felt different from the get go and I was so at peace with everything because I knew that no matter what happens God’s got this.

[@candiceanderson1132]

@@nusrattani669 1. Make it very clear to the doctor that you want a Vbac. They really tried to pressure me into doing another C-section. 2. Know that it might be harder. There is scar tissue in your uterus that wasn't there before. But you can do it! 3. You might have to stay longer in the hospital. 4. There will be way more nurses and specialists in the room with you. But really just know you can do it!!!!

Babydust to you! Xx

[@cassandrabreit5029]

For some reason I was surprised when you announced this pregnancy because it felt so soon after William... Even though my firstborn is about the same age as Will and I'm now 36 weeks (😳) with my second lol. Super grateful that this pregnancy has been so much easier in every way than my first, I think there must be something to the getting up and moving to beat the nausea because I was definitely not able to lay around and just ~be nauseous~ this time like with my first because I have a toddler to keep me busy lol. Crazy how different every pregnancy can be!

[@JessieAlmighty]

Congratulations! I felt the same way and then I was like... I'm in the same boat haha. My oldest is also about the same age as William and I'm 34 weeks. :)

[@Lidiacroitoru]

Mine is almost the same age as William but I just can’t think of another baby. I’m terrified for another c section. And still sleepless nights. We want another baby but I’m terrified

[@MS-ns2zm]

Being pregnant is soooo much fun!! I know not all the moment are fun and I know some people struggle but like ohh my goodness, there's a whole baby in there and what a blessing. I enjoyed every moment of my pregnancy even the not so fun moments but oh man I miss it .

[@Syl_Lac0898]

[@zsuzsannaalbecz2802]

Hi Delilah! I'm not the person who use to write comments. But now, it seems we're pregnant together. I'm only 5 at weeks with my second but a few days ago I've started to bleed. And I also had some cramping. So yesterday we went to see my doctor and my baby is ok but he told us that in this early stage everything could happen. So I need to relax, do nothing and take the vitamines. Please pray for us! Every time I pray I always hear the same words: Don't be afraid, just believe! So, I need to believe that everything will be ok. But I'm still afraid. Anyway! You're a really inspiration for me as a mother. You have one of the most cutest, loveliest family! Sending a lots of love from Hungary!

[@kellyhocking-xj8qw]

I'm almost at week 10 of my pregnancy and I'm still feeling exhausted . ❤ Lovely video

[@courtesylaugh528]

I have absolutely been loving the 1st trimester talks you've been sharing because it feels so validating! I'm currently 11 weeks with baby #2 and I had ALL the same symptoms you described between weeks 7 and 10. The complete uselessness and exhaustion hit me like a ton of bricks, but it's also starting to go away a lot sooner than with my 1st. I was worried until you mentioned that your 1st trimester symptoms started going away around 9 weeks. I had a c-section the first time because of my daughter being breech and measuring large at 36 weeks. The new doctor I have now said he'd rather not do a VBAC because he actually had a patient who's uterus ruptured during labor, and to hear him tell it it was pretty traumatic. I'm honestly on the fence about what to do. 🤷‍♀

My youngest(#6) baby's birthday is August 17! 😊 Congratulations Delilah and Zak! I had several high risk pregnancies and 5 c-sections, so I understand the trepidation. Praying for peace and health. ❤

[@Lidiacroitoru]

5! Wooow 🎉 congratulations! how was the recovery? I’m sooo afraid for another c section. I’d didn’t feel like myself for months

[@clarajo6932]

I was able to heal fairly quickly the first few times but ended up doing too much too quickly (like caring laundry and going up and dow.n stairs in first 2/3 weeks) I also tried to wean off the medicine within 1 or 2 weeks so that I would be able to feel it of I was doing too much. Lots of prep and help is a good idea if you have to have a repeat c-section. Walking helps get rid of gas pains and get your bowels back to normal. And an adjustable binder gives your core support through recovery. I also just tried to enjoy the newborn stage while it lasted and let my older kids watch tv and give them little jobs to help them feel capable and involved ("Can you get mommy the wipes for baby please?")

With my first pregnancy I didn’t have pregnancy insomnia, but with this one I’ve had it even before I had a positive test. I swear I haven’t slept through the night since October

[@Hailey_Olivia]

This pregnancy has been so different from my first, I feel so much bigger than I did already, and I have 0 craving for sweets. I used to get ice cream sundaes with extra fudge and just eat the fudge. This time around, I’ve wanted meat more than anything. I had major food aversions both times but for different things, and my nausea was a lot worse, and as far as movement to help nausea, Yes! It was the same for me! If I woke up early and got started with my day and got moving it helped a ton

[@kathychase234]

Omg your due date august 17th was my due date for my 4th baby but back in 2008 LOL 😂 believe it or not my 4th pregnancy was my FAVORITE ONE! My 5th pregnancy was my absolute hardest one….which for me was my final one ! God Bless ! So happy for you ❤

[@raining_trees]

I'm 6 weeks pregnant and crying. My very first pregnancy, my biggest goal in life. I've been struggling to enjoy it at all; I have mental health issues including PTSD and anxiety and I'm terrified of losing this sweet baby worm🪱 haha as I call them💖 Hearing how at peace you are...that's the peace of the Holy Spirit. Listening to the stories of mothers who've miscarried is bringing me a lot of peace too, ironically. The love you all have to share, the beauty that you continue to find in life. The love for lost babies... all of it is so inspiring to me. I will survive if I miscarry this sweet child. I will be the best mother I can be. I will protect my child with my life so long as they are alive, whether they are born or not. Thank you so much for sharing your story. It's really touched my heart.

[@noelleramsey2413]

My second baby is just over a month old, and with his pregnancy I needed to start every day with two eggs or I felt terrible. Sometimes I even needed another egg in the afternoon. My chiropractor said that the baby wanted that protein and the aminos specific to eggs. That’s why meat didn’t work as well for me, and nuts didn’t help at all. Interesting that someone else really needs eggs during pregnancy! I’m glad that everything is going so well! I pray it continues to do so.

[@janislyn2745]

We are about a week apart in our pregnancies! This is my first so I was not expecting those 1st trimester symptoms & they were no joke. The food aversion was so bad for me all I could eat from weeks 7-12 was fruit everything else either tasted terrible or just turned my stomach. It’s so crazy the difference btw a 1st pregnancy & subsequent pregnancy belly. I’m 14 weeks & 5 day and I barely have a bump. Yours at 6 weeks is where I am now. So happy for you to be growing baby #4 😊

I am so glad that you have such a supportive partner. Pregnancy for me is traumatic (by definition) because my husband just isn’t as supportive. It’s like each time I’ve gotten pregnant he gets more and more rude. That was part of the reason I got a tubal with my last one. (SN we were pregnant with our last babies together. William is older by a few months) that pregnancy was the worst one emotionally and mentally.

I really like u showing what the baby looks like at your stage of pregnancy- hopefully it will help someone out there who is not sure about whether or not to continue her pregnancy.

I couldn't even smell it lol The fatigue and sickness is real. And I had the same where I was showing so soon, everyone including us thought I was having twins. NOPE, it's just my 4th baby

[@lozen_ge]

My guess is this is a baby girl!!! Maybe an Agnes or a Mildred?? Happy to hear this pregnancy is going well :)

[@SakakiHiroshi]

That bacon smell and the peppermint stuff happened really intensely for me during my pregnancy! Like the raw, uncooked bacon smell up until it was really, REALLY cooked made me gag so much... It didn't smell delicious to me at all at that time although I do love bacon usually... And I was deeply craving perrier when I can't stand the stuff. Pregnancy is so weird but looking back on it it's fascinating!
