EARLY PREGNANCY VLOGS (4-12 WEEKS) | Lily Pebbles

[@barelygettinbyy]

I'm starting to get emotionally invested in this. oh god this is like the renovation vlogs all over again

[@shelb3289]

nejwa B yesss! Me too :)

[@fluximagery6500]

Lol newja, me too! Here we go.

[@jenniferr4738]

nejwa B I FEEL THIS HAHA!

[@krislitch]

Ah, I literally felt that exact emotion. Haha I look forward those vlogs every Sunday. So happy for her!

[@EdeLovesGerrard]

SAME.

[@lilypebbles]

What an overwhelming response again. Thank you all so much! I'm so lucky to have all your support. It really is crazy how you just don't know how it feels until you go through it and it feels so nice to have so many mums commenting about their own experience. I'm going to go through and try find some of the more specific questions to answer, but thank you all for your lovely comments xxx

[@sabz930201]

Lily Pebbles thank you so much for sharing this. I literally have gone through the same thing as you did, with the feeling of anxiety and sickness and just so emotional and depressed. And I just kept thinking I was not normal. I’m typing as I’m watching your videos and I literally feel like I went through the same experience!!!! Burping, knowing what to eat every hour etc

[@Lornawhitney]

Thank you for sharing and being so honest. I am currently 19 weeks and have been suffering from very bad morning sickness which comes and goes numerous times a day, every single day since around 6weeks. Going to work every day has been a real struggle and people keep acting so surprised when they hear I am 19 weeks and still sick. All I get is “ it normally wears off after week 12 so that’s strange?”. Like I’m faking it or something? I’m very lucky to have an amazing husband who has been doing everything at home and even making me breakfast before he goes off to work. It’s so encouraging to see others who truly understand how lonely and scary it can be and supporting each other by sharing x

[@reformschoolgirl6380]

Lorna Becker have you seen your go or MAC at your hospital. There are some very effective treatments available if you are still suffering

[@zulonike]

Lily Pebbles I have just found out that I am pregnant 5 weeks ! Please keep sharing your expirience, you are totally right that the begining is very lonely. Thank you for being honest!:) lots of love from Lithuania!

[@beckah164]

Thank you so much for these last two videos! So nice to hear from someone in the same boat, feeling the same things at the same time! Susie Verrill recommended you on her Instragram for anyone who is pregnant right now and I'm really happy I started watched. Good luck with the pregnancy x

[@springmore]

This video is SUCH a good reminder to always be kind because we never know what someone else is going through.

[@bethangillard2538]

Spring Weaver well said! People can be so mean

[@katkakon]

Such a truth! Nicely said.

[@WorkingirldishesJessicaMyers]

Agreed! I feel so bad that she had to worry about mean comments when going through such a tough emotional time. Terrible. Let’s support each other, not put people down. 💕

[@ShayVidz]

Hi I'm a new youtuber, just found out that I'm pregnant. Trying to get Subscribers before I vlog my pregnancy. Will you help me by subscribing please...?

[@springmore]

I just found out I’m pregnant today and immediately came back to rewatch!

[@monaltrielane9074]

I’m now 8 weeks pregnant and thought I’d watch this series back. Oh my god Lily, thank you. No one explained the “blank” feeling you get with the lethargy and now I totally get it. The stressing over no symptoms, then bam one day they’re there in their own unique way. The guilty feeling I feel as my close friends and family have miscarried. My appetite is still shot... I feel so nauseous if I don’t eat but absolutely nothing appeals to me. Cold foods only and even then, what appeals to me one day doesn’t appeal the next. No dairy too! So relatable! Thank you thank you ❤️

[@RvrGrl80]

This is the best, most honest pregnancy video I've ever seen. And I don't even have/want kids. Thanks for sharing, Lily. Wishing you nothing but the best on this journey.

[@josiepatel4497]

I described early pregnancy as the worst hangover I've ever had, the bone tiredness, random aches and pains, feeling so flat and out of it, plus the nausea, ugh. It's tough! Kudos to you for filming when you felt so ill to give others true insight into how it feels.

[@gracelovestoffee]

I am five minutes in and crying my eyes out. Thank you so much for articulating and being so open about something that people so rarely discuss. What you said about spending your whole life feeling like the most fertile thing in the world and terrified that you might get pregnant to then suddenly feel terrified that maybe you’re not so fertile completely struck a chord with me. I went through early menopause at the age of 25 and it was such a sudden and complete shift in the way I had always thought about my body and my fertility. And you’re right it’s so lonely. So incredibly happy for you and Rich and so excited for baby content! X

[@gracelovestoffee]

Also do you mind me asking why you chose to have private scans?

[@user-vv7nm4le4l]

''maybe you're anemic?'' ''no, i'm just pathetic'' I went from feeling emosh to laughing at this omg

[@kimberrleighlynn]

I'm not pregnant and have no real intention to ever become pregnant, but I LOVE these videos! I have much respect for all women who do go through it!

[@rachel9199]

Just coming back 3 years later to watch this again because I’m nearly 6 weeks pregnant ❤

[@yetundesimbiat3414]

Same here... Congratulations on your joy

[@1bluegreen2]

Same in 2023! What did you have? And how did it go?

[@sruthipraveen7484]

Congratulations. I'm 6 weeks pregnant too

[@Dooshiynwa]

Lily, I rarely leave comments & I’m not having a baby any time soon. But I’ve watched many pregnancy vlogs & updates from influencers I’m subscribed to and none of them have been this honest. Sure, some might’ve had an easy start. But I feel like it always seemed so unrealistic. You made me tear up from the start of the vlog. Those fears, I think we all have them (those of us who’d like kids) and it feels so important to have someone you can watch that won’t sugar coat the fears or symptoms. I hope you continue to be honest about this journey as it’ll help so so many people out. And I hope things get easier for you! You and Rich are going to be wonderful parents. Your little baby is very lucky to have you x

[@Fia19906]

PLEASE vlog the whole way through Lily! I also never comment, but just wanted to say Lily that I have rarely been on youtube and watch only a few youtubers during the short free time I have, but your videos recently (before you announced the pregnancy) were the only ones i was watching! Even during my workouts instead of listening to music I'd put your vlogs on and have really been enjoying them more than ever before. So good riddens to all those comments saying your content was "boring". The renovation was so interesting and cool to watch, but i think what makes these pregnancy vlogs and your renovation vlogs on a different level than your normal videos is that they are so real and honest! I'm 22 and am certainly not in the position to have a baby with being in nursing school, my career and relationship (everything!) but you've made me envision and feel excited for the thought of myself pregnant in the future. Hearing your voice shake and on the border of crying or describing the family outings made me hold back bursting into tears so much! Please please continue to vlog this! Thanks so much for uploading this and taking the time to give us updates :)

[@EvaInTheCity]

Congratulations both of you and thank you Lily for sharing all of this with us! xx

[@lilypebbles]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@fdgdddds]

I watched these when you posted them, and now I’m pregnant and watching them again with a completely different perspective 🙊🙈🙉

[@emilyyamate2519]

1. You must be so relieved that people know now and you can speak about it freely. 2. I absolutely love the fact that you're MOANY, it's one of my favorite things about you.

[@georgiarogers79]

Emily Yamate agreed I’m here for the moans

[@MEMOsunkissed]

what do you mean?

[@danipeacock5242]

I’m 6.5 weeks and what you talked about around 10 mins has comforted me so much. The days are dragging which is making me so anxious and overthinking everything. Glad to know it isn’t just me

[@conradigirl]

I hope that doesn´t sound creepy, but It´s almost like following a good friends pregnancy. I have watched your videos for about 6 years now and have been pregnant 2 times in this time. Both very shitty pregnancies and watching youtube videos as yours and Annas really did take my mind of how bad I was feeling. So a retrospective thank you for that . if this even is a thing and I wish you all the best for the rest of the pregnancy

[@Makeawishbecometrue]

I’m so glad you said that I feel exactly the same! I cried when lilly announced her pregnancy 😂 x

[@vivihertz5614]

I feel the same too

[@hanboorman2561]

Lily, this video is raw and honest. You’ve articulated the first trimester so well. You don’t seem grumpy or whiney at all, because the negativity seems insightful rather than self indulgent. The preconception segment was so really useful, well done for having the foresight there. I really hope you feel better soon. Congratulations. X

[@RebeccaPaynee]

So honest and raw! What a beautiful video to inspire and show people the truth about pregnancy. Thank you xx

[@brunettesweetie21]

I am almost 35 weeks pregnant and this video made me laugh remembering how sick you are in the beginning. The sickness does goes away thankfully but there will always be symptoms the entire time. I am so ready to no longer have severe heartburn, be able to sleep on my back, get up off the couch, fit into anything, stop feeling like I am starving all the time and especially meet baby! Pregnancy is pretty much a year of you consumed in all these feelings. It is a lot on you physically and emotionally! Really a sign of how strong women are! Please keep us updated!

[@cathelizabeth17]

Same! 😄

[@lexushuard1787]

Im just under 5 weeks and now im like WOW i need to appreciate these days that feel so long and minimal if any symptoms. I feel like everyday pregnancy is all i can think about and each day seems so slow and i just want to be far enough to share with everyone. Thank you for sharing!

[@khadijajaoui2605]

My favourite thing about this “KZbin community” is the fact that we all grow up together! I remember watching you when you lived in your parents’ place and I was in high school then and I am about to finish university. Its absolutely mental to think that someone I don’t personally know can make me feel like family. (I don’t know if I expressed that right) I just love you so much and am so happy for you and although I am sooo far from even thinking about getting pregnant, I watched this whole video being so emotional with tears in my eyes. I am so happy for you darling. ❤️❤️

[@kmsenesac]

Thank you so much for putting this up and sharing this. I really identify with what you shared, especially the bits about coming off the pill and being ready for a baby and making the choice to try. Also about the disappointment you feel every time you take a test and it comes back negative. I can’t thank you enough for sharing. I don’t usually comment on your videos, but am a regular viewer, I just feel like today you became even more relatable to me. Congratulations!

[@madslynch]

Back watching this for the third time after finding out I’m pregnant again. In the thick of the sickness and feeling so alone and depressed and struggling to see the light at the end which I know is so so sweet. Thanks for this video, it’s so helpful and reassuring.

[@MsJakee]

Love how honest you're being with your experience and fertility. It took my husband and I 2 years to get pregnant and the waiting for it to happen was the worst. I miscarried our first and it triggered my PCOS to show up. It's taught us that nothing is guaranteed, so just enjoy every moment you're pregnant. Congrats!

[@niawilshaw3522]

Strawberry jam on toast tastes the same in either direction! Neck a glass of water first thing, throw it up (natch) then eat strawberry jam on toast. If it stays down YAY...if not, it isn't too gross to throw back up. Trust me.... I'm the hyperemesis queen ☺️

[@HiMilka]

I just wanted to say thank you for sharing this with us. As you said, it's all very personal and you could have easily shared only the happy moments of your pregnancy, but you decided to show the vulnerability of it all. This is always something I've admired about you for all the years I've been following you. I wish you all the best during your pregnancy. 💕

[@katieerae]

❤️ First time mum, my baby is now 14 months old. I believe the horrible time during pregnancy is almost a preparation for motherhood. Everything I experienced during my pregnancy has made me a stronger and wiser woman. I feel like I’m watching my own journey back. Especially the work worries, the depressed low state, illness. Once your baby is here, just the smell of your baby fixes EVERYTHING! ❤️ Hang in there lovely I hope you are doing ok. xoxo

[@wendybee8854]

Oh Lily, I wish I could convince you not to put so much pressure on yourself. I'm so sorry that your having so much anxiety. Try to take one day at a time and rest if you are feeling tired or sick. There is a very good chance that you will be feeling better soon. And then you can enjoy this a little more. So happy for you. I'm so glad you have your mom and sisters who can assure you that all the crap part will be forgotten when they hand you your baby. Hard to believe now👼 so excited to watch you navigate through your pregnancy and I'm sure it will help others to see that pregnancy isn't always glamorous~ love and peace

[@lilypebbles]

haha. You obviously haven't met my sisters.... I feel like they've totally freaked me out about the first 6 weeks. We are all too honest. I've now banned them from telling me anything 😂 Friends all the way! x

[@wendybee8854]

@@lilypebbles That's funny. They need to encourage you, everyone and every pregnancy is different.🙉

[@martaferreirapires8656]

You said that these were sad - they’re not sad, they’re realistic. This is exactly how I felt in the very beginning. I chose not to google anything or even get the pregnancy app until 12 weeks because I didn’t want all the internet ‘noise’ to scare me (my husband would look things up and then tell me what he found out). I was just as scared and really avoided getting too attached in the first few weeks. It might sound bad to some people, but this is the way some of us cope. We have a smart and hilarious 15 month old girl now, and have enjoyed every minute of having her in our lives!

[@gabrielaprusak3811]

I'm not pregnant, not going to be any time soon (unfortunately, it takes two to do! 😂) but I really enjoyed this video. Thank you a lot for being so open, especially when you don't feel that good. It makes you feel like a regular person and I just feel so much closer to you then. Also, although it's really difficult, try not to worry too much about mean people. You can't please everybody and it's totally ok. And to those people, if you don't have anything nice to say, why bother to say it at all? The world isn't a very nice place right now anyway, so maybe we could at least make this community a little better :) And, congratulations for both you and Rich :)

[@alikat8221]

Congratulations Lily! Re: your anxiety surrounding work, please try not to worry too much about what you’ll be able to do, or when. I spent the first 34 weeks vomiting and fainting on bed rest, but the last 6 weeks were the best ever! You never know when or where symptoms will hit, but making the most of the little moments when you feel ok is what got me through it. Sending lots of love to your little family xxx

[@emmaali234]

Thank you so much for this video, I'm currently 6 weeks and have barely had symptoms im only now getting sore boobs but it's so comforting just hearing someone else with the same anxieties whether everything is okay, it's the hardest thing waiting to get to that first scan!

[@SashaTIML]

There is just something about the way that you put words, thoughts and footage together on subjects like this, that is so honest and helpful. You've done it in the past. Your ability to connect on topics like this is quite special. I've not had kids yet, but am getting ready, so such a real view of what to expect is so highly appreciated.

[@kimchis]

Nooo please do weekly updates lily! I’d love to hear them and I’m sure most of your viewers would too!

[@Ankahikahani78]

Watching this video has been such a relief. I found out I was pregnant on the 10th of Jan 2022.. still not had a scan or doctors appointment yet but symptoms have been awful. 😭 feeling sick all day, loss of appetite completely, metallic taste in my mouth all day and absolutely no energy whatsoever to do anything. I completely relate to how you feel about sickness, I have the worst fear and anxiety related to vomiting, and that’s probably been one of the major symptoms of my pregnancy.. which has made me feel extremely down and upset all the time. I have also noticed I salivate a lot more, and the second I start to feel hungry, my anxiety is sky high because I instantly start to feel sick and have no energy to eat anything because I don’t feel like eating anything at all. So difficulty to explain. Feel like I can relate to so so so many things you’ve mentioned in this video! Thank you so much!

[@bananabonce11]

It's mad how quickly you forget this! It's literally two weeks since my nausea / all day sickness disappeared and I'm already telling people "it wasn't so bad!" LIES. Thank you for reminding me hahaha. Your food aversions and cravings are exactly the same as mine too. Eating little and often is a great tip, really helped with my sickness

[@veronicableu]

Thank you for your honesty. For years I’ve been talking to women honestly about everything from babies to menopause, and the one thing I always say is is that we are not honest enough about these subjects to one another. Woman can be so competitive we are always showing our best face but that helps no one. Expressing the ups and downs of life as woman is so helpful. It’s good for us to get it out and it’s just plain old helpful for the next person going through it. So thank you.

[@Catrionaos]

Hi Lily, I don’t usually comment on your videos and I’m not pregnant, but I just wanted to tell you that I think how honest and open you are being about this is extremely important. Like, I think this is kindof revolutionary. I can imagine that this information and realness is exactly what so many people might need during/before pregnancy. It’s amazing to think that only a few years ago, this kind of stuff wasn’t openly talked about at all (and still isn’t in many ways). I hope you feel better soon in terms of the sickness, and well done on creating this really important/helpful/interesting content (even when you’ve been feeling rubbish!) - you are doing fantastically. 😊

[@DuchessofDavey]

I'm rewatching this as I'm currently 7 weeks, and it's so so helpful! Thank you so much for making this video Lily! You have no idea how comforting it is to know that what I'm feeling is normal. So thank you

[@ellebox4634]

This has made me so emotional. I lost my baby this year in April, I was 9 weeks and 3 days. My heart has never really let it go. I’m so excited to watch your journey, watching you come and talk about your sickness and describing your symptoms brought back so much for me. 💗

[@laurenford7440]

I have followed you for a long time but only recently found out I’m pregnant and gone back to these videos and listening to them so much more fully. Thank you so much for doing these! So much in here that I didn’t know how much I needed to hear ❤️

[@bellajenna87]

Thank you for sharing the "technical" part of trying to get pregnant and the non-glamorous part of pregnancy. I feel like most people only share the good stuff and it's so refreshing to hear the depressing and blah parts of it too.

[@chloeroantree9385]

I LOVED this video! Not you being poorly but the realness of it all. The anxiety was awful for me and I had sickness until 16 weeks. I really did not enjoy being pregnant and felt like I got judged when I said that to people. I’m currently cuddling my 16 day old baby boy and know I would do it all again in a heartbeat for him! Hang in there, you’re doing a great job and you will get through it! Congrats to you and Rich xx

[@susagoose]

Watching this for the fifth time - watched it initially just excited and interested for your journey. Now watching it as reassurance in my own early weeks of pregnancy. I can relate with everything you’re saying, growing a baby is no picnic but there is so much pressure to be happy and excited all the time (which I am I’m just also exhausted, cranky, hungry and nauseous). Massive respect for sharing this, thank you so much because it’s really helping and isn’t something I’ve seen much like before. Also love that the next recommended video for your channel is now your lovely birth story video! Light at the end of the tunnel! Women are incredible, this is what I’m coming to realise more and more. Much love xxx

[@moonnk24]

I never usually comment on any of your videos but honestly you're right about everything. I was sick throughout my entire pregnancy and I gave birth this September and omg is it life changing. Don't feel guilty, you are blessed and enjoy every bit of it now because motherhood is a totally different ballgame. Congratulations and may the rest of your journey be filed with wonderful memories xx

[@isabelschaffmeister1736]

What makes me so happy is that we actually are pregnant at the same exact time. Since i am going to be a single mom at only 20, i am super scared and not really surrounded by other moms to-be. Watching your videos makes me feel like i have a friend that is pregnant with me! My due date is april 16th! So happy for you!

[@DCupcake58]

First, congratulations to you and Rich. I'm 54 and it's been a loooooooooong time since I've been pregnant but what you're doing with videos like these is great. All I had was the book "What to Expect When You're Expecting." I appreciate what you said about women who go to work day to day - it was tough as I had morning sickness and used public transportation to get to work. I did get sick in the grocery store one night. My go to was drinking Jello (before it jelled in the fridge) and eating potato chips. It's crazy but hormones are crazy. You are growing a human - be gentle with yourself and take care!

[@ikonora]

ONE MINUTE IN and I am already crying. I admire you so much, Lily. I love your videos and how honest and humble you are! Congratulations!

[@ellieb9]

That's the thing, Lily. No one in my culture talks about the anxiety thing when it comes to pregnancy. They tell you about their experience with the physical sides of morning sickness and the tiredness, but I had no idea about the emotional sides of the pregnancy up until the moment I found out about our first baby at 6 weeks. And for me the anxiety was horrifying because I couldn't explain what it was or exactly how I was feeling other than a pure, unprecedented, and without-reason anxiety that was shaking me from the deep inside of me. So I applaud you for bringing light to that area. Most importantly, CONGRATULATIONS to you guys!!!

[@infalliblebeautyUK]

I’m not pregnant and I don’t plan on having a baby any time soon, but I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed this! Loved the week-by-week concept - really honest and informative! I’m sure so many women feel/have felt the same as you. And thanks so much for talking about mental health - pregnancy isn’t just a physical thing! Huge congrats to both of you x

[@charlottes7897]

I just love how real and honest you are Lily. I’ve never found any of your videos boring, you’re one of my favourite KZbinrs. Don’t worry about how having a baby will affect your content - it will probably change but that’s not a bad thing. Since becoming a mummy a year ago I’ve found myself watching a lot more mummy videos rather than the beauty content I used to watch. xx

[@meredithbrown681]

I am so happy you made this video it is such a nice support for women who are newly pregnant!! Throwing up is THE WORST and I understand your anxiety - do not lose confidence in yourself and your ability to do your job - you are STRONG and kind and lovely and I promise you, you will figure it all out! Be gentle with yourself, you are growing a perfect little human and one day you’ll wake up and realize you’re all of a sudden completely comfortable with last minute changes to your plans (as a type A individual this was SHOCKING to me - but you have to with a baby!). Also, this deep contentment with your little family will seep into everything you do and how you feel and will give you this unflappable confidence to weather the changes and day to day challenges of life!

[@jenkitchen2790]

Lily, my youngest is now a year and I had horrific sickness with her, I feel your pain! RE work/life anxiety: my mum told me ‘you find strength you didn’t know you had’ and it’s so blimmin’ true. You are about to unlock your mum superpowers and smash this!

Gosh, thank you so much for putting this up. I literally am going through the same experiences and I burst into tears several times because to have someone describing this madness is just so bloody comforting... I am currently week 7, week 6 was an absolute insanity with days turning into never ending torture and my boyfriend just trying to get any kind of food into me, the metallic taste, the bloated tummy, the hurting jaw, thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this.

[@mrsvalentine5472]

I watched this vlog when I came off the pill. I watched it again when I got pregnant and watched that part about being scared of miscarriage thinking - yes! I thought everything would be fine. Then, miscarried. Now, I'm pregnant again and I'm watching this at around the 6 weeks mark where you're talking about feeling sick and anxiety and honestly, this is so so brave. Thank you for doing this for all of us women who are going through and will keep going through this. It's so intense and massively emotional to watch (more so being pregnant - ha!) Thanks, Lily. A year on, I'm binge watching these vlogs again. I hope you're having a great evening. :)

[@katelcayttt]

Lily! I loved this vlog. I'm in my early 20s and don't plan on having kids for a little bit yet, so didn't think this video would be my cup of tea, however, I loved it so much. I know it sounds silly and immature, but as excited as I am to have children, the idea of potentially vomiting for 9 months straight genuinely terrifies me. Like you, I also have such a fear of being sick and I get so worked up and anxious about it. But this video has made me feel so much more relaxed about it, so thank you so incredibly much. Awesome video to watch! And I don't think your content recently has been bad, it hasn't been your best, but people in all of their jobs have ups and downs. Just because you're a youtuber doesn't mean that you can't have a bad day at work, or not perform as well in a task as you'd hope. You're only human. Sending lots of good vibes

[@FluentlyAcademy]

[@bluebananaberrypi]

Thank you so much for being such an honest, real, refreshing part of the internet. "I'm going through something painful and lonely right now, so I thought I should share it," is not a thought most people have, so thank you for being so selfless. You've made someone feel less alone in the world.

[@luanabordon333]

Thanks so much for sharing your honesty!!!!! That's what makes you the best!

[@sarahlaw895]

What a raw and honest account, thanks for sharing. I have just had my first baby and just wanted to say that at 6 weeks I started to feel mildly nauseous and then at 7 weeks it disappeared and I had no symptoms whatsoever. Nothing! And I carried on like that for the whole of my pregnancy. I went on to have a healthy baby. I feel so lucky to not have had to go through this but also it was a really lonely and worrying time for me as I felt like there was SO much out there about symptoms in the first trimester and everyone goes on about feeling sick or tired and I felt completely normal. I couldn't read any books as it just reminded me that I wasn't the norm and was there something wrong and Google was telling me the more symptoms you have the stronger the pregnancy. Just wanted to put that out there incase anyone else is reading this with a different experience

[@1818Pancakes]

I’m only 21 and I’m looking into the effects of birth control. And I really do think that there is this gap on information on the effects of coming off of birth control after years. Like the possible side effects of staying on birth control for 10+ years. Like you control your hormone level for years.

[@kayleerickards8487]

Congratulations. It feels like forever ago that I was this early in my pregnancy, now I have an 11 week old so it really wasn’t long ago at all. Once the baby is here the pregnancy feels like a lifetime ago and all of the horribleness of it is forgotten. I swore I’d never have another baby again during my entire pregnancy much to my partner’s relief, however now I’m sat working out when will be the best time to have baby number 2. You’ve got this. Your baby will 100% be worth all of the sickness and pain xxx

Good for you for keeping it absolutely real & raw (& oh so relatable for many of us women) which is what KZbin often lacks. Most importantly, massive congrats to you & Rich. We are all eagerly watching from the sidelines & rooting you 3 on! xx

I am seriously cracking up at how much your experience mirrors my own. All I wanted was salad when I was pregnant. I was so passionate about salad! 😂 I sounded like you talking about cucumbers. And the exact same thing happened with my husband and I when we went for a tour of the hospital. I don’t think I was even in the 2nd tri when we went. All the other women looked like they might go into labor any moment. It was ridiculous 😂

Susan Abad Awww, I love that story. I think oranges would be a good snack for morning sickness because it’s tart (not Tarte 😉). Sour candies worked better than ginger for my stomach.

[@angelacurran5924]

I ate two big oranges every day and had breakouts the whole time until it all just suddenly cleared in a couple of days at around week 38. It was a boy 😊♥️

Satsumas have been amazing!! Especially with the bad metallic taste in my mouth x

[@IcarusAnderson]

Quite the opposite for me right now, im usually a big salad and veggie lover but since i became pregnant i cant stand most raw veggies, tastes like eating leaves or grass 😂 i now just love potatoes in every shape or form. The blander, the better 😂 also, ice cream and fish fingers are great!

I am due next Tuesday and as someone who went through pregnancy and as a midwife as well I am so grateful for this honest first trimester vlog. People don't talk about these things. I also described it as a constant hangover. I threw up only a few times if that, but that constant nausea was there, and I was working 12,5 hour shifts full time in labour suite throughout my whole pregnancy. The tiredness is the worst in the first trimester in my experience, so well done you are through it! Third trimester brings its own problems but at least you kinda start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Saying this ask me next week how I feel and I might tell you a different thing. :D And I totally get why you got emotional about children being mean to their parents. I wanted to be pregnant and I wanted to have this baby and still it is bloody difficult and totally takes away who you are. We don't give enough credit to women and our mums for doing this for us. Hope you are feeling better now, and good luck on your journey. xxx

[@SophieCallahanPod]

Thanks so much for posting this. I'm 18 weeks pregnant with my first baby and relating to so much of what you're saying right now! Congratulations and I hope you continue to feel better. x

[@pippakyle1042]

If people have nothing nice or kind to say, just say nothing- it shouldn’t matter if your pregnant or not, you deserve kindness! You’re doing fabulous girl! You’re growing a HUMAN! It’s all good. You roll with you, breathe and take it easy. Everything will work out! x

[@emmahosier7616]

Lily you've got me in tears. I came off the pill 3 months ago to start trying with my hubby and have all of the horrible side effects- a ton of spots, mood swings, bloating- and still no period. I've been feeling so worried and alone- thanks so much for sharing. Oh and congrats lovely 💜 ! V happy for you! xxxxx

[@ioanacadar3538]

I just found this video, it is exactly what I feel I'm 8 weeks pregnant and all the symptom hit on my 7 week. I was crying watching this. I hope it all goes away soon and I can enjoy my pregnancy not just feel miserable. Thank you for being honest it made me feel less alone.

[@Phyreflyte]

Hubby and I won’t ever have biological children...we plan to foster and adopt...but I still really enjoy videos like these because they help me relate to my pregnant friends more easily. I’ve never felt that maternal pull to be pregnant myself, but I love children and am thankful for opportunities to support my closest friends during their nine months and beyond. So thanks for sharing! It helps me understand better how to support them. Congrats, Lily.

[@veritylitchfield6376]

I cannot thank you enough for this video. Such honesty, and it’s exactly how I felt in those first few weeks - excited but nervous about miscarriage and worrying about a lack of symptoms. It can be overwhelming but a wise lady told me to just try to enjoy it otherwise I’ll get to the end and realise I was stressed and anxious the whole way through! Good luck with it all, I’m almost 20 weeks now so I’m looking forward to more pregnancy and baby videos from you!

[@LMoon20]

It was the relentlessness of the morning sickness. At least with a hangover you know it’s going to pass. With this it just goes on and on and on. Well it did for me until about 17 weeks. I know it’s very different for everyone. They say it’s a sign of a healthy pregnancy though cause you have all the right hormones going on. Hope you feel energised soon. I’m sure you will be enjoying the lovely feeling of being all fulfilled and everything that goes with it. Xxxx

[@Sue-np9fp]

Hi Lily, just watched your video, for the first time. How brave are you?! you are thinking of others, even though you feel so vulnerable yourself, in your new pregnancy state! you are warm, sensitive and compassionate! I loved what you said about 'how can kids be mean to mums, when they go through SO much to have their children?' You are SO right! it made me feel bad thinking about the times I was mean to my lovely mum, who deserved a better daughter than me. Thank you for your honesty, about the realities of being pregnant, I can see how tough it's been for you. Be gentle with yourself though, you are showing SUCH courage! Good luck, and lots of love, you're gonna be a great mum!

[@fhelene7439]

This vlog is so releaving!I'm just going through exactly the same!And you feel just so alone when you can't tell anybody, share how crappy and useless you're feeling! Thank you so much for this vlog!!!

[@LauritaJuanita]

Thank you so much for sharing all of this, Lily. I am sure there are people out there who are going to watch this and think "Whew! I'm not the only one!" Feeling alone is the worst when you're going through something new and scary. I so admire you for putting yourself out there!

[@Gosiaaa28]

Aww this is so relatable! I actually found out i was 6 weeks pregnant 3 days before me and my boyfriend went on our first holiday in Spain... i didnt have any symptoms but the second day in i got really bad nausea and it just kept getting worse each day throughout the trip... it was a disaster to say the least i felt soooo bad for my poor boyfriend.. 🙈😬😬 everything was making me feel sick especially the heat.. 😩 i still cant stand the smell of sunscreen 😂 im 22 weeks pregnant now and i cant believe how fast its gone by...😱 the best feeling in the world is feeling the baby’s kicks and movements.. i feel him quite a lot now and it’s incredible 🥰🥰 cant wait to follow your journey and see how you get on, praying for a healthy baby and healthy mommy ♥️

[@shaziahussain4119]

One of the best video I have seen. Am currently expecting and felt alone and had no one to relate to. Your video are spot on and have helped me alot with what am going thru at the moment. Thank you

[@ankigatoni6967]

I had to go and check the 'boring' videos. I did not find anything!

[@KR-gf1fz]

I really needed this video right now. I’m currently 7 weeks and completely get how your feeling. You explained the lacking personality so well. I was at a children’s party the other I barely spoke to anyone and just wanted to go home. I’m currently on sick from work as I work in care doing 12 hours on my feet and with spotting I just can’t do it! Loved this vlog it shows the real side of pregnancy! Thank you and congratulations again. Xxx

[@laurenwilliams3717]

So happy for you and Rich, congratulations 😘

[@zibbyanne]

I'm not even finished watching this and I have to let you know how helpful it is that you decided to share this!! I've recently had a similar experience and felt like "why has no one told me that it can be so difficult to get back to normal??" after going off the pill. I'm so glad someone else felt the same!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@lindachapman9765]

Congratulations again lily, really hope your feeling lots better xxx

[@clairebennett8950]

I am so glad you addressed the difficulty of coming off the pill and the worry of ‘not getting pregnant’. I have recently come off the pill (3 months) and my cycles have been all over the place with no real idea of when I ovulate but this has given me hope that it can work out to be okay. Congratulations to you both xx

[@dzymzlzyb1268]

I was shocked at how tired I was when I got pregnant. It was really my first symptom. It turned out my thyroid was incredibly out of whack. I was also weirdly out of breath my whole pregnancy. It was so weird.

[@nicolaellerton8920]

People are soo cruel. Love how honest you are being about your mental and physical symptoms. I had 2 great pregnancies not may symptoms just tiredness, i had 2 amazing short births it is the best feeling when your baby is finally in your arms xxxx

[@ilyssaherrington9695]

Thank you so much for posting this. We are about to begin IVF due to fertility struggles, but it took me 5 months to get my period back after going off birth control. It really messes with you! Thanks for sharing and being honest. 💕

[@8kres]

I'm currently 10.5 weeks pregnant and I wish I had found this video sooner! Everything you have described has been my experience - it's so refreshing to watch a REAL pregnancy video! It's very true about what you said about the loneliness. But videos like this help tons! :) wishing you all the best for the rest of your pregnancy!

[@annabelgrace9229]

Huge congratulations Lily! Thank you for choosing to share this amazing journey with us x

[@melinamarcellay1204]

I have been such a fan of your channel for the last several years and have been so excited for the day you get pregnant. My husband also proposed to me in our new house the day we were moving in but maybe about a year after Rich proposed to you. I’ve heard you say you weren’t ready for kids for a while so I was a bit shocked when I saw your Instagram post but SO excited for you! My husband and I are also trying to get pregnant with no luck just yet but I too have been watching pregnancy videos and yours takes the cake!! Yours was so honest and so detailed that it felt as though I was sitting with a best friend listening to her go through this! I hope you decide to post more pregnancy videos because your honesty is almost comforting! Congrats to you and a Rich!!!!

[@clarekendall5665]

This brought back memories- you do forget how awful being pregnant is! I have four children but I DID NOT like being pregnant. I think the tiredness is like being tranquillised!

[@gabiselle]

Thank you for talking honestly about the ups and downs of trimester 1. I'm about 12 weeks into my first pregnancy and everything you're saying had me saying amen. I was laughing at your description of the deliciousness of a cucumber but I feel you girl! That metallic taste is the worst and actually tasting food again is magical. From a fellow preggo, it's so lovely to see we don't go through this alone. Congratulations and all the best!

[@maryvanzandt5162]

Take good care of yourself.....everything will work out, try not to worry.

[@SarahLee8888]

Sorry but I was smiling and nodding my head the whole way through! It’s all a part of the journey isn’t it. How great that you’ll be able to watch this back. My daughter is 3 and a half, I remember bits and pieces of pregnancy. I was obsessed with mandarins, especially the smell of the skin with the oil in it. Best of luck 💕💕💕👏🏻
