One time when I was pregnant, my boyfriend at the time was driving to take us to eat, and I saw a turtle on the side of the road just minding his business, and I cried for an hour. Literally just because the turtle didn’t have a family and was alone and walking in the grass by himself There was so many times I cried for no reason, but it’s okay it gets better

[@shelbydelery813]

I do that now do on my cycle so I can only imagine me pregnant. I will literally just think about cats and start crying 😂

[@flibbertygibbette]

Several doctors told me when I was literally unable to eat for months that you never have to feel guilty about not eating healthy enough on any given day. Baby gets what it needs from your body, and whatever you eat is to make sure that YOU are healthy and getting what YOU need while the baby is sucking all these things out of your system! So if you have a day here or there where you skip a prenatal or you eat nothing but chips all day, it's really not going to harm anything and baby will be fine. You're doing everything right, and that being said there are also a LOT of ways (infinite ways) to do it right!

[@yishai720]

Seeing her as a becoming and soon to be a mom is so great for me as a VERY OLD FAN, I always follow her from the very start, her kawaii phase, hair tutorials and such! Even the fertility journey where there are ups and downs. I still see her as the joy version of herself😭 I felt like ive grown with her the past few years!! WANNA SEE THE BABY SO BAD NOWWW❤️❤️❤️

[@bellaloves2815]

I love how honest you are about how you are feeling and the hardships of pregnancy, and it doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful but truthful about what most every person who goes through pregnancy has to face but don’t talk about very much without stigma. Your videos help get rid of the stigmas that surround pregnancy and the people who go through it and their partners as well. Your videos are always a comfort to watch for me no matter the content, and it’s almost always morning in my part of the world when you upload so it’s a great start to the day!

[@satan4518]

[@ZairaBandy]

if you want realness, watch Colleen Ballinger. her pregnancies are horrible!!!!!! and she just talks about it all the time

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

You're such a sweetheart and it's only honest to share how you feel, instead of glamourising and then setting false expectations or even triggering insecurities in other women who are trying/are pregnant. Simply love these series because of the little daily ups and downs, but most importantly a beautiful family life! Sending big hugs and so much love your way.

With my second child I was sick THE ENTIRE PREGNANCY and all I could keep down was soy sauce flavored top ramen and Gatorade so I promise you, keep taking the prenatals and eat what you can. He will be totally fine. ✨💓

@@Taylor_R I enjoyed your new vlog today

[@smooothiebomb]

It makes so much sense that you're a little extra sensitive to your body changing -- getting punished for getting "bigger" must have left a big impact on your mind, and your brain can't help but look at the cellulite and be like "OH NOOOOO!" It's great that you can ground yourself and remind that scared part of you that this is happening because you're growing a whole person and that not only is it worth it, but that after the fact you have all the time in the world to recognize yourself again. You look GORGEOUS and your body is so strong and fucking awesome.

[@thedanishhoneybee3996]

[@xofemiishereox6088]

The way you understand you’re more fortunate and know your privilege is something I don’t see others do. you always do this thing where you’ll say your problems and then it’s like for a brief moment you reflect and think hey you know not many can do as I can you’re very grateful and I love that. Watching your videos for some time now has taught me gratitude something I should practice more often.

[@braelinnbjerklie2144]

I cried when my brother genuinely asked if I was going to eat all the food I had on my plate. I'm talking full sobs. The body changes are still something I'm getting used to and accepting and my son is about to be 3. It's so hard on the body but worth every single stretch mark.

[@braelinnbjerklie2144]

I ate a BUNCH of foods I ate during childhood too. I got my fish intake from fish sticks 🙈🤣

[@Zalerinae0491]

My daughter is 4 and I'm still not comfortable with the changes my body has gone through. I guess what makes it worse is the year I got pregnant was the only year out of my 30 years of life where I was confident and happy. Then I had my daughter and hate what's happened to me.

[@kathryncurtis9320]

While pregnant I once cried hysterically because my husband dusted our living room. It wasn't because I was so happy he did a chore randomly during the week (he works many long overnight shifts so helping with housework is a weekend thing.) I was so irrationally MAD he dusted without my permission. 🤷‍♀️🤣 He made things better by slicing a banana so I could drown the bites in almond butter. Honestly I'm surprised he didn't get scared and run away with my emotional days. Most of the pregnancy everything was normal emotionally. Just a handful of days I'd cry over random stuff. Crying over him dusting was the worst bought of random crying.

[@miriam.99]

***sobbing*** “I had a nap I feel a bit better” Never has Taylor been more relatable 🤣

[@madeinbusanjkjm]

Omg people have so many hard opinions when it comes to food 🤣 Funny story, my grandparents were from neighbouring villages (so basically the same region, even the same municipality just different villages) and they constantly bickered about this traditional stew we make. My grandad liked it really thick and starchy and my grandma always made it thinner almost like a soup because that's how her mother taught her to make it. It was funny to listen to them bicker about it for decades. It was a source of many laughs in our family. At the end of the day, I think both versions are tasty and it's always good to try different things in cooking. So I hope you use the milk in your bolgnese some day Taylor! I wonder how it will taste like.

[@osasefe7401]

Congratulations

[@jasminee204]

I've made it with milk and think it's delicious! Can't say I quite know what it does, but it tasted more savoury and rich to me. I agree, I find it so funny that people have such puritanical views about food 😂

[@Kat31017]

People always have their preferences. It's funny they bickered about it

[@silver5515]

You are looking so good and happy! For the swelling, I reccomend supportive stockings, like those you might wear on an airplane. They are a pain to put on, but it really helps. It might also help prevent clotting and ugly veins. Keeping your feet high and getting frequent foot rubs also helps.

[@sukai121]

I love seeing the ups and downs of pregnancy. So many pregnancy vlogs only show the positives

Its so nice to see someone who is so healthy, beautiful, a literal model have cellulite and feel body issues. Not that I want that for her obviously but for her to be honest about it because its NORMAL and have her share it really helps me not feel alone. Also please dont say its privilege, you worked hard for what you do and that is your choice to go into that flexible career its not like you were born into it or didnt have to work for it.

[@iamsimplybee]

It has been genuinely amazing to watch your journey. I have followed since the early Japan days, like bedroom-tour days. Watching you grow up and sort of growing up along beside you has been really amazing. I have identified a lot with some of your journey, and enjoyed watching your come through everything. I am so proud of where you are now, it makes me feel like everything for me will turn out fine too. And that is exciting.

[@lonestray989]

I really really appreciate and love how open you are with your thoughts and feelings. One of my biggest fears if I ever get pregnant in the future is the body changes and how I will react to it. I grew up with a negative self image and dealt with a phase of depression and an eating disorder, etc. Now I am past that, but still have those creeping thoughts as I look and see how I now have cellulite and the curves of a woman, and I don't have the 16 year old body I used to have- changes can be so hard. I am so proud of how brave you are with facing these changes for your baby. My friend just had a baby- she is terrified of veins/blood draws and had to get multiple blood draws during her pregnancy which freaked her out to her core- but she did it for her baby. Love you and your videos ❤ take care of yourself. Excited to keep watching your journey with your baby and Tom!

[@myahwinter2699]

Remember massaging prenatal oil into your skin after the shower is so important for the elasticity of your thighs, stomach, etc (wherever the stretching is happening most)

[@duck6100]

Pretty sure that's just a myth, stretch marks are mainly genetic unfortunately.

[@Yakumoki]

I only got stretchmarks after birth since everything shrunk so dam quick for me. But I don't even moisturise the belly at all can't be bothered barely have time to take a poop but the marks are already fading themselves :) I'm 5 months post partum. I think hydration is most important! And being tall is a benefit

[@myahwinter2699]

Yes hydration is definitely key, the oil seemed to work for me at the time and also on a slightly unrelated note helped my s/o with their weight loss stretch marks so it cannot hurt to try if it helps Taylor, considering I think the activity also helped me feel more comfortable with my body as it changed.

[@Yakumoki]

@@myahwinter2699 I agree activity 100%, even just getting outside for 30mins a day makes such a difference to the mind during pregnancy and especially after. Being cooped up indoors was hard during this lockdown I'm sure for alot of women, very isolating time. I'm glad for Taylor things are getting better out there, just in time.

[@sashatheelf]

Pregnancy can be incredibly difficult and traumatic, as a child-free person with dysphoria around being raised a woman, I appreciate honesty surrounding the topic. Let's all keep pregnancy a choice. And side note, you talking about your measurements brings up some unfortunate memories of modeling in Korea. My agency would make models take them every week. I threw a fit and flat out refused, I was working every day, twice a day, why the fuck did my measurements matter! I'm glad I stood up for myself at that time though it was definitely a privileged position to be able to do so.

I'm definitely not an expert on anything related to pregnancy or ever had a child, I'm only 21 so I'm still young so I can't even imagine it being an easy thing to deal with no matter how badly a person might want this, you go through so much change and it must be so overwhelming even for someone who had done this before it might not be easy. So seing you being emotional and just having off days just shows how real you are and I want to say thank you for being real❤️ love you Tay❤️

Tay I had a similar experience getting used to my pregnant body changing (I think it’s nearly universal!!). Because sometimes I needed to hear it I want to tell you that your body is stunning, powerful-looking, luscious, heavenly, and just 1,000% perfect.

[@IzuAurora]

I'm so grateful to be able to be a part of your journey, or rather experience it second hand. But one thing I want to say and hope you understand. You are allowed to struggle with some things, you're allowed to feel sad, mad, frustrated, any other negative feeling. You are allowed to feel bad within your skin sometimes. You are allowed all that and more even after all your struggles and even though you wouldn't change a thing bc after you get to have your own teeny tiny (or rather a little big) baby. Never think that feeling bad temporarely takes away the fact that you are so thankful and full of joy of being finally able to be pregnant and have your own child. Just wanted to say this bc you talked about it briefly and it is so important to aknowledge all your different emotions. And negative ones are a part of those. Love you loads ! ♥ And wish you all the best.

[@absynthefaerie]

Omg the nosebleeds!! This happened to me exactly like you described, my nose just started gushing out of nowhere. What actually happened was that a blood vessel had burst from the blood volume. It kept happening every week or two the whole way through the second and third trimester, it even happened when I was pushing during labor. Finally two weeks postpartum I went to an Ear Nose and Throat specialist and she cauterized the blood vessel for me. Finally relief!! It healed up never bled again. I really wish I had had it done during the pregnancy because it was miserable!

[@haley8924]

Aww sweetheart, I feel all my insecurities rushing back from when I was pregnant 27 years ago. It's funny you mentioned the Linea Negra because that very thing caused me one of my worst crying episodes while I was pregnant! it was so strange because I knew what it was and I was expecting it to happen but when it did, I just lost it!! lol I also got really overwhelmed at one point after I got home from the hospital, I was very capable of caring for my daughter but for some reason I just could not figure out how to get in the shower, I had this weird mental/emotional block that was so over whelming. Now I know that that episode was the Baby Blues. It started 2 days after her birth and lasted about a week. Also, breast feeding in public was a horrific experience. My grandmother almost got into a fist fight at a waffle house because this woman came up to me and said what I was doing was not appropriate in the in the mixed company I was in, meaning humans! My Grandmother scared the living shit out of this woman because she didn't expect my grandmother to be so violently protective. what I haven't told you is that I was 15 years old. You could look at me and see that I was clearly a teenager so whenever I was in public, It felt like I was a zoo exhibit. Grown women would point an stare and make rude comments. Eventually I got tired of it an started telling people to EFF themselves and let me feed my child in peace. I did have a few older ladies who were just so kind tell me that it was admirable and amazing that at 15 years old, I was breastfeeding and seemed really confident in mothering my child. God bless those ladies!! That was just 1 of the crazy things that happend to me as a teenage mother!!

Omg now i know what they mean when they say canadians are so sweet, polite and humble.

Been watching you for years and dealing with fertility issues with you as well. So I’m glad that we can go through a pregnancy together because I’m 19 weeks :)!

Girl, the cellulite. Same. It bothered me more initially, and it's definitely like a daily practice I have to implement of self kindness and love. I've also had cellulite on the backs of my legs, but the sides and fronts are now affected too. But, at the same time it's amazing this is happening to us! So glad you're also practicing this kindness ❤️

Just discovered this channel but omg you’re such a beautiful person inside and out. So gracious and real. Love this so much.

Did anyone else notice the prolonged look she gave to the chips in Tom's hand? Like, hey buddy. Don't take my chips!

The hormonal thing is entirely normal! It is great that you are documenting this time. Good luck!

[@kl9815]

So glad to see your journey! All the best for the coming months for your pregnancy!

[@katie394weekly5]

you look amazing! I am always intrigued by how different peoples pregnancies are. When i was pregnant with my son it was the most confidant that i ever felt. I just want you to know that you look amazing!

Is ok to have a non productive day, week, months, is a lot to take, the hormones get crazy, our bodies started to change, many things are out of our control and is difficult but in the end all of that is worth it, just take things day by day and enjoy every moment❤️.

I had horrible nose bleeds with my first pregnancy. It was not fun and very inconvenient. It was also not something that was talked about and also something that is normal. I'm glad you brought it up for any expecting mothers.

I'm 12 weeks this week and my makeup makes my skin burn all of the sidden. It's so nice to see another mom to be confidently going without makeup and looking GREAT 🥰

Love seeing your pregnancy journey! I am 19 weeks pregnant so a little behind you.

[@SaraH-pv3yp]

Can’t wait until March to see your miracle 🥺❤️❤️ I gonna meet mine this month 💗💗

[@HaleyGamber]

I remember when I was pregnant with my baby boy feeling so horrible that my body was changing and how out of control I was. There were days I cried to my husband and days I was so happy - so I can empathize. It was a whole new experience and I just had to remind myself that my body was carrying our little boy and it was okay that things were changing.

I am so excited for you Taylor, you are already an amazing mama!!! That baby is going to have incredible parents and be so beautiful! And no one ever talks about the side effects of pregnancy until you go through it! I threw up multiple times daily and was 24/7 nauseous and weighed less after pregnancy than before from throwing up, and constantly had to spit in cups because I produced so much 😧😧 and was soooo sleepy and emotional!

[@broomstickrider8315]

I remember crying every time the struggle commercial come on I would cry my eyes out and for the life of me I don't know because the commercial with adorable it wasn't sad at all but I would cry like clock work 😩 everytime I seen the struggle commercial it never failed

[@hankat8483]

You are so honest and graceful. You truly are a model!

[@TheDolphace]

I'm sure you've thought about it but it would be super interesting to have a video on cultural differences around pregnancy. What you weren't expecting Anything you and Tom dont agree on (the cold air thing for example) Differences in advice between the families and stuff. Also good on you for including the not so happy stuff. I feel like a lot of women are not told about these, and it just makes it harder in the end sometimes.

Sometimes you just gotta rest and have a good cry it’s all new and special and different. I have an eating disorder and when I had my daughter my body changed and it was hard but you have great support 🥰 you’re growing a baby you’re amazing xx
