ALIEN MOVEMENTS? | Preggy Vlog (28 Weeks)

[@SmellyKatPants]

I got married earlier this year and I got a bit addicted to your makeup tutorials as I practised putting on makeup for the big day. They were great, and helped me be confident to do my own makeup. But guess what? I got pregnant within the first week of being married! I'm 16 weeks along. It has been so nice to now be able to watch your pregnancy updates and learn from them too :)

[@kimwest2773]

I love watching your videos! You seem so down to earth, humble, and relatable. As someone who really wants to start a family as well I have to say I'm super excited for you to be starting that chapter in life. Congrats!

[@rachelrose1268]

I really appreciate how vulnerable and open you are on this whole process! Xoxo you're a beautiful momma!

[@Natalia.bs.01]

my God, how time flies! Even though you discovered the pregnancy in October, it's still passing by so fast. Congrats Jen, for managing all the work off posting these videos, and sharing this beautiful experience with us.

[@jeanfrancoiscd]

Sweet sweet darling! You have NO idea how much you warmed up my heart when you came to say hi at the Benefit event! I'm a bit shy when it comes to those HUGE events sometimes... Hope to see you soon darling! Sending you and the family a great big hug!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@pictureswordsandmagic1243]

i totally understand what its like being an adult with acne, and in particular hyperpigmentation (although im not preg i just have had this issue with dermatillomania (compulsive skin picking). From the nape of my neck, all the way down my spine is covered in hyperpigmentation and scarring, and even my chest, face and arms. Its significantly better at this point than a few years ago, but im still left with 10 years worth of scarring. I totally get that feeling of being "past" the normal age of having acne, and the huge limitations on clothing. All the best for everything, and you are totally not alone!

[@Malici0uzmae]

RN here - Love your vlogs about your pregnancy, and don't worry, everything you're experiencing is normal. Due to your pregnancy, your hormones and vascularity is all over the place - so acne, shortness of breath and being swollen is normal!

[@leilanic58]

I also had hormonal acne during my pregnancy. Now, I'm nursing my baby, and I feel my back-ne is worst. I keep telling myself that this is a "joyful" issue. Before you know it, the acne will be gone and the baby will be all grownup. Time really flies once you're a parent! :)

[@Isabella-zu1lh]

Oh Jen! You glow from the inside out. I'm far from being pregnant, but I do want to tell you not to worry about the acne! I'm sure it'll clear up soon. And you are still so beautiful- acne can't bring you down! Thanks again for sharing your journey with us❤️

[@aprilcasanova26]

Hi Jen! Don't worry! I experience the same thing! I do not fit to majority of my pants anymore. I am experiencing the acne too. They're all around my chest area, my back, my back, my belly and even on my lower back and some spots on the thighs. It is weird and it has taken down my confidence so much. I could not wear low back shirts and dresses. Whenever some spots are peaking through my tops, I feel so embarrassed. But I'm still hoping it gets better soon. Wishing you a healthy and a more comfortable pregnancy! :)

[@valerieteilor9654]

Oh girl, I'm 26 weeks and I have such bad hormonal acne! Lots on my neck and chest. You are not alone :)

[@sugarbeet1232]

I did the math, you're 7 months in! Time flies SO fast! I can't begin to imagine how excited you are!

[@sugarbeet1232]

Btw- I just subscribed!!

[@annacamp2108]

My baby girl is about to be 3 months old. I got hormonal acne on my chin and back late second trimester and all through the third trimester and I still have it, although it's getting slightly better. You're not on your own with that one. I felt really self conscious about it too but it's so worth it. I can't wait for you to hold her for the first time!

[@jenniferm7947]

That's so adorable that oreo can sense your pregnancy and Is already protective of his baby sister!

[@crescentchronicles2323]

Jen you are such a sweetheart ❤️ I still can't believe you are pregnant ☺️ When I first started watching you, I legit thought you were 16 or something 😂😘💋 Loads of love 💕💜

[@Greenpurplejelly]

Jen, no one is perfect and you are looking beautiful as always!! When my sister in law was pregnant, the baby was super super active with strongest legs u can imagine! All the best with the pregnancy :) love from australia xo

[@nenemiya]

You look amazing, I really love your pregnancy vlogs! I've had acne since I was a teenager, but it got better a while ago. Now that I'm 16 weeks pregnant, I'm having it again (though it's still better than before) but also on my belly. My back is the most affected part, so I know how you feel.

[@katycurran128]

You are the most adorable pregnant woman! Seriously, so cute! After the baby arrives, try and make monthly appointments to get back facials done. I think they would help out alot. I'm pregnant myself (8 weeks today actually!), and I've noticed my skin breaking out more than it used to. I'm already prone to body acne, so my back looks like it usually does, for now at least

[@madihharris]

Congratulations!!

[@bryananeff656]

congratulations! best of luck!

[@katycurran128]

Aww thank you both! :)

[@yeahwoahyeah]

i love following your preggy vlogs. I am only 22, but i hope someday to have a little person growing inside of me. this make the future a lot less scary for me! thank you for sharing :)

[@thechoreans4940]

Jen, I love following your preggy vlogs! I'm due right around the same time as you so it's nice to watch and hear the similar and different symptoms you are feeling. my baby boy is super active and strong too, and i haven't needed to count kicks for that reason. i also have sensitive skin.. i don't have acne on my belly, but i have PUPPS (pregnancy skin rash) which gets better with cream, but it's still sensitive.

[@brooklynbailey9978]

I love these videos! Your bump is getting so big and cute. Love it!

[@sweettreatsyt]

You look gorgeous as always! Can't wait until your baby is here :)

[@madihharris]

Omg I see you everywhere 😂

[@alex34533]

This is CRAZY; a sweet little human is growing inside you! Amazing! Good luck...

[@An-dj1gp]

I also had bad back and chest acne during pregnancy. I am 10 days postpartum now and it has cleared up a lot. It started clearing up towards the end of the pregnancy for me. The hemorrhoids, unfortunately, only get worse ... when you deliver they will be worse, and then they should go down in the recovery weeks :(. Pelvic pressure/pain will also likely linger until baby is born, especially when her head moves down onto your cervix.

[@xxoliviasbeautyy]

I struggle with chest and backne too, and I've had it for about three years now. it's definitely embarrassing because my whole back is scarred, especially for events like prom where I have an open backed dress. you're totally not alone on that!!

[@sociomaj]

Hi Jen... this week I have also reached 28 weeks and I totally get that "alien" movement that's happening in my tummy. I've gained (probably) about 8 kgs since I got pregnant and I'm literally ONLY carrying the baby weight. Which means, every time I take a bath or a shower and I'm checking myself out, I AM HUGE. Just make sure you're walking or exercising regularly (20-30 minutes or so a day) so that will help with the flexibility/stretching of your legs and circulation. You can also put your feet up on a box or a foot stool when you're editing so that your legs aren't pooling of all the blood. As for hemorrhoids, eating an apple REALLY does help and try to consume a yogurt fruit smoothy (blend it) every two days if you don't like the fiber powders (metamucil) due to their grainy tastes. I find that definitely helps with the movement of YOUR body BEYOND the baby. WIsh me luck on my gestational diabetes test (I go take it on Thursday) -- apparently having too much carbs (ie. rice) is also bad. :( Great post and take it easy!!

[@CKT222]

Jen you should try using Dove bar soap to help with the acne. Keep in mind that everything you knew about your body pretty much will change. This includes products that worked for you before you may be allergic too now. Also the cetaphil bar soaps work well.

[@DeliaX]

dont feel insecure or alone jen, you're beautiful and amazing :)

[@elizabethlarson5063]

Please do a TF peanut butter and jelly palette tutorial, Jen! I've been hoping for one since you mentioned the possibility in February. You are such a beautiful glowing mom-to-be! Haha, in both my pregnancies lung capacity was SUCH a problem. Hang in there, you will have your beautiful daughter soon!

[@CoryBreann]

I can't even imagine how crazy that must feel!!

[@lizholland823]

you're so beautiful inside and out :) really enjoy these videos and your honesty about all of your "symptoms"

[@seonajjames4965]

I had bacne and neckne during my second pregnancy, and I never, ever had bad acne in my entire life.. but after I had my emergency c-section, after around 2 weeks or so the acne disappear. so don't worry about the acne. oo, and elevate your legs every time you rest at home. it helps the circulation , wear comfy clothes and underwear when your're out and about.. enjoy your pregnancy.. xoxoxo

[@theebon]

Hi Jen ! About the over-pigmentation you are experiencing now, I can advice you to try the Bi-Oil. It removed all of the spots I had, and even the ones that were a few years old. I asked my man to apply it on my back every night and they are almost gone within 2 months ! ;) I wish you the best !

[@PaceFineArts]

Wow your videos are so cute! I just watched the whole preggy vlog 🙈 I'm not planning on being a mom for the next couple of years and I'm also kind of scared to imagine it but your videos did get me excited. Thanks! Actually came here over your menstrual cup video which I liked a lot and then I was like "oh she's having a baby now, let's see what she can tell us about that" 😅

[@cgutie12345]

I get acne while pregnant and its the worst feeling ever! I'm on my second pregnancy and its annoying to have adult acne flare up! On the bright side it definitely goes away eventually! You are not alone!

[@SofiaBurton]

We are due around exactly the same time (my due date is July 7) and both with a girl. I swear that my pregnancy has been exactly the same as yours. You think you're in the clear when you get to the third trimester, but it's just a whole new wave of symptoms and speaking of Bacne...mine is so terrible. You're definitely not the only one suffering through it. Now I'm not breaking out, but the spots are still there. We're almost to the finish line, though!

[@laughaliscious]

Hi Jen! I'm 25 and have horrible bacne scars and sometimes active bacne despite never being pregnant. I guess I have some hormonal acne issues, so you're not alone :) Definitely self-conscious about it too, but something I'm trying to get over! You're not alone ^-^

[@Laurusstoyou]

I'm so excited for the baby come, you'll be an amazing mother☺️

[@AlexsisMae]

Hi gorgeous! I'm 28 weeks and I have some light acne on my tummy too! I don't think that it helps with slathering so much stretch mark butter on the tummy, but I'd much rather have acne then stretch marks! So sorry that you feel self conscious about your back! I have big boobs and I'm definitely self conscious about them cause everyone says how big they are now lol. We gotta do what we gotta do though, and it's pretty amazing what our bodies go through for a baby. Stay positive girl! You are so gorgeous inside and out💕🤗😘💋

[@Lexie9311]

I love watching your preggy vlogs.

[@SiLLYBL0NDiE]

im not pregnant but you're not alone with the chest and back acne. i get very self conscious about it too :/

[@Rayneefied]

Can't take my eyes off your eye make up throughout the vlog. So gorgeous!

[@michaelar2188]

Don't worry about the acne. My cousin got a lot of acne on her back, stomach, and face when she was pregnant. It went away after she gave birth.

[@bluehanabi]

Your preggy vlogs always make me smile :')

[@michellehoang576]

Yes remembered those days when I was pregnant with my two daughters

[@lurisa7139]

Jen you look amazing and so excited to see your baby soon!

[@dkcaveargebeauty]

I had acne also with both my daughter and son. It would hit my stomach and thigh area the most and looked awful. Your not alone. If you watch bubz video she was actually allergic to her baby and broke out as well. Hope this makes you feel better.

[@jesslynzhu]

omg! it's so big already >.< can't wait to see your baby :D

[@valerieprieur-cote5751]

I' m pregnant and have acne like crazy on my back ( and my face) too ! Thank you for your vlog 😊 Team Mama

[@TashaCastro]

Aaw! Your glowing 😻 I would say the third trimester for me was rough. But it was well worth it at the end! Xoxo

[@HoaBuangKhuang]

Good luck with your pregnancy! You look beautiful!

[@SSully42]

Be strong Jen! It's going to be amazing!!

[@thevisionaryvibesclub]

Hey Jen! Maybe it's not acne you're suffering with but your body having an allergic reaction to your normal body wash or lotion?! I'm 29 weeks pregnant and had a terrible reaction to a pregnancy cream that made it look like I had acne all over my tummy. When I stopped using it, it went away! Just a thought :) love the preggy vlogs!

[@MissyHo]

I'm 33 weeks preggie now! And I can relate to what you' said, hahas.. felt the same, more movements on my right belly! :)

[@emvothuong]

I understand your body acne troubles. I am experiencing the exact same (front, back, belly) 😐 along with pigmentation.

[@davinalau1648]

I've heard that the Salux cloth + acne bodywash/facial wash gets rid of bacne really easily since it helps you reach the back a lot easier. It is super rough though so idk since you have sensitive skin

[@mement0m0ri1]

I am at 26 weeks! I understand how you must feel having to deal with acne, but you still look so cute, especially your belly!!

[@jiwookim4104]

you should vlog the next upcoming weeks!!!! If you have time... THISS ISS SOOO EXCITINGG!!!

[@tiredjedi]

Yay! You're almost through with your pregnancy :o) are these vlogs up to date or were they recorded earlier?

[@frmheadtotoe]

+TheImperialMarch they are still running a little behind! But I'm trying my best to have things catch up ☺️

[@MeliRentasMomlife]

+From Head To Toe Your belly is beautiful! I know this is a challenging time with all of the changes you're growing through physically, but its a short term sacrifice for a long term/everlasting reward!

[@Eleanour]

YAY for bumpdates! 💓👍

[@mollysullivan6414]

people seriously have no concept of how much body acne can affect a person. i'll be out trying to have fun with my friends and just feel so ugly and deformed for not being able to wear the cute open-back tops that my friends wear. it sucks and any time you know a part of your back is showing you're just sooo hyperaware of it.

[@Carolina013]

That's so true...

[@blainevanity6]

+Molly Sullivan I only use shirts because i can'y wear my sleeveless clothes :(

[@Walkinjoy]

I feel you! My chest acne can get pretty annoying, and I wouldn't be able to wear anything with a v-neck or a bathing suit. Yesterday I wore a tank top to the pool because I was too self conscious to show my chest :/ You're right when you say it really affects you. I just feel so ugly showing my chest when it breaks out. I hope it's just a phase and that it'll eventually go away...

[@SaDyHe]

Week 25-30 were my favorite weeks of pregnancy. It was when I was the most comfortable and the baby moving got stronger. Then 30 weeks hit and I felt like I doubled in size lol.

[@francesly5788]

Thanks for your awesome vlog! do you wear lash extensions and are they safe during pregnancy?

[@hypnotizedkahuna7332]

+From Head To Toe oh my! don't feel alone my mom has it as well and every night I have to put medicine on her back, chest and face also in her scalp that the dermatologist gave her, she's also self conscious and wears her work clothes with collars to hide her neck

[@yunhee0909]

The test that they made you do where they made you drink a very sugary juice is called oral glucose tolerance test.

[@JA-lr1zh]

Congrats pretty momma 😊🎀 your hair is getting so long compared to your first pregnancy video!!

[@SkyMcSparkle]

I don't know if motherhood is a path I want to travel. My biological clock has never started ticking, then again I'm only 25. I always thought that if I ever had a need for a child I would adopt. However my spouse was attacked as a kid from 2 of his family's fosters so he's super adamant that if we have kids they be biological.

[@kristinacal_]

thank u for sharing. i'm now in my 14wks pregnancy

[@LaLeeLeeful]

I've got the Bacne and the Acne and the Boob-acne too. I've never had acne before so I feel your pain

[@kathynguyen6409]

you look absolutely beautiful jen! ☺Im 5'3 and 17 weeks pregnant and my tummy looks twice as big as yours! Your belly is so cute though!! :)

[@leeenababy]

I remember getting really bad chest and back acne when I was in younger so you're not alone! Left with scars :/

[@Mari92313]

You look adorable. I can't wait to meet your baby girl. 💗

[@MissPQI]

Jen, you look so pretty no matter what

[@kimberleeames8103]

wow.. I'm hoping to be able to make my own preggie vlog.. um when's the next video?😭 I'm 2 weeks 5 days along. and I am feeling the symptoms big time.

[@mutiarariw]

i'm 19w preggy and having chest and back acne too, so you're not alone

[@alessandragoto5736]

Have you tried tea tree oil for your bacne? It's natural and dries up the acne. Check with your doctor to see if it's ok during pregnancy. Other things that work to dry acne: vicks vaporub and desitin diaper rash cream. Again, check with doc if it's ok during pregnancy, of course.

[@beckyk6576]

You should try Rodan + Fields Unblemish Regimen for your acnes. It's the same doctors created Proactiv. You can check with your doctor to see if it's safe to use during pregnancy.

[@Sara-jc4xw]

Good luck! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@JennieDCuteThings]

I have the darn acne and im glad im Not the only one 😩 ty for letting me knowww

[@msmilano101]

I have dealt with chestne and backne everyday of my life since puberty. Don't feel lonely! At least it will probably go away after pregnancy 😥

[@amandaportes3776]

I'm 27 weeks and double the size of your belly ! It's crazy . I feel huge and I know I'm just going to get bigger (yikes ) I'm 5'2 husbands 6'2 ! I have a feeling this baby boy is going to be a big one !

[@CiCIgirl808]

Your face looks sooo nice and cute now that it's fuller

[@gottalovelove21]

I love your belly! It's amazing watching you go through this stage in your life and watching your little baby grow ☺️

[@kristennguyen9442]

my aunt is at 37 weeks and her feet are quite swollen. She is also a very petite person.

[@sarinaweeraprajuk3609]

So happy for you!!!

[@sarahapplebottom]

Congratulations! You will be a wonderful sweet Mama!

[@artglue2]

Cute baby bump!!!

[@musikgirl164]

Don't worry you're not alone, I'm pregnant too and I have similar problem with acne.. But mine is in my legs and my chest, is just hormones hehe mine is a girl too, it will be ok later. Love you and your videos too ^^

[@andytucker9277]

What's a hemroid? Loved this update!!

[@Joohyuniex]

YOU ARE NOT ALONE ;-; I've had back acne since I was 12 :( and it's been 8 years and it's a pain to get rid of them and maintain them :( do you have any tips?

[@manshajoshi3339]

My sister too had skin issues.. she had dead skin or can say a layer of dry skin all over her body..i think its just due to pregnancy as when she delivered her baby she had her skin back to normal within 1 week.. So don't you worry.. :-)

[@saavira]

oh god the pregnancy induced body acne - i am going through the exact same thing and it is awful. tea tree oil is def helping but now i just have a lot of hyperpigmentation. and it just looks so gross.

[@elizamanibod3015]

Hey Jen! I would love to see some pregnancy outfits

[@김치보끔빱-q1n]

Jenn you are awesome😘

[@rebeccamellott7814]

Pregnancy caused me to get the WORST acne. My skin wasn't that bad before but, during my pregnancy and postpartum it has been awful.

[@maolor1603]

Jen your almost due! Hurry up for baby number 2!😉

[@ANM5437]

I have had major acne on my back too :/

[@havyynguyenn]

You have such great cheekbones omg

[@ablinder94]
