I was a single mom of twins. Husband walked out when I was 3 weeks pregnant. I had the best time raising my babies on my own. We were the 3 amigos. LOL. Congrats on the kiddos. Such a blessing!

[@reginaroza3154]

Good for you! I raised my son alone best thing I ever did! He's 41 now! we're best friends!!

[@BrittanyElenaRemo]

You both are such strong individuals.

[@latenyxzomby]

I have saved this video for 8 months. I have struggled to conceive for 5 years and finally did IVF in August and I am blessed to say I am 16 weeks with my rainbow baby. Thank you for sharing your journey. I would not have had the courage to go through with IVF without your guidance.

[@stephaniepacino]

This came at the perfect time! I'm supposed to write a paper about motherhood and pregnancy for my Lifespan Development class! Let's get ittttt

[@colleenheart]

What a beautiful conversation between two women I respect so much! My babies are 7 and 3 and I will never tire of listening to women talking about this amazing journey! Much love to both of you. ❤❤❤

[@mahaylamonk1685]

YAY!!!!!!! 💜 I just wanted y’all to know, I really connected with your and stephen’s journey, and my heart was really in every single episode of it. i’ve watched you guys for YEARS NOW and you guys actually opened my eyes to the struggles of fertility. when you cried, I cried. when your heart broke, my heart broke. every time I had to see desi cry from seeing negative pregnancy tests - my heart literally went out to her. so much so, that i made a promise to myself that if the opportunity ever presented itself and someone needed me to - I would hands down be open to being a surrogate for someone else. i’m a single mother to an almost 10 year old and i’m fully content with him, but i realize that in doing so that i may be taking my health and my fertility for granted. & I just don’t want that. i’m 27 and in my best health. & i’ve been truly blessed (i know this) so i can’t help, but feel compelled to help another family and bless them while I can. so now, when people ask me if i’m ever going to have anymore kids, I always say “for myself? probably not. but i’m not entirely closed off to the idea. for someone else? absolutely. without a doubt.” i love you guys and wish you the best no matter what. i’m so glad to see you back on here. 💜

[@rayneebranch9690]

Desi!!! I didn't even know you had a second baby!!! I miss seeing you and Katy. Hope you and your family are doing amazing!!! Congrats on your baby girl!

[@MissGlitterSparkle12]

The calmness both their energy brings together , is just so precious :)

[@deidre4423]

This is so precious! Desi is giving big sister vibes! Love the dynamic between you two 💕

[@micheleharding6998]

I remember people having the audacity to keep telling how big I was!! I was working while pregnant and one day I was just having a bad day and someone said, " omg you're huge!" I said some not so nice things back. But I can't believe people!

[@DesiPerkins]

Ya my rule is just don’t comment on someone’s size. Either way can be taken bad

[@sherrys.1623]

I’m two days postpartum with a newborn and 13 month old. This came at a beautiful time🥰 mommy time while dad watches the kids.

[@ashleys5453]

you two are so sweet. im so greatful for vids like this. Im 39 FTM having baby girl in three months. ive quite literally watched every cousin and friend have their babies all while going through 4+ years of fertility treatments. Now that we have been blessed with this pregnancy... im so shocked at how much negativity has been thrown my way. All the " just you wait until...." and " say good bye to this..." " and you have no idea what you're in for" comments. My mind is boggled. Being 39, trust me i have been on the journey with all my girlfriends, i have seen them struggle with it all, and noone of them have sugar coated anything. not sure why ppl feel the need for those comments. Of course i dont know what im in for, ive never done this before... and neither had they. I def dont think parenting will be easy. if anything is shared, i so wish more ppl would share all the lovely things i get to look forward to... thats what i need right now. Thank you Desi for sharing so much positivity, while keeping it real. appreciate this.

[@jesellepaulino]

Not me leaving my son in the other room with his dad to come watch Desi and Jamie 😂❤

[@LenaCarina]

It really hit me when you said the part about being an only child and when your parents die you don't really have someone to share your memories with, this made me cry instantly. But I love the dynamic between you and Jamie!! I could watch vlogs of you two or podcasts about different topics every day. I just love you both so much because even though you are famous you are so down to earth and relateable. Thank you for everything - both of you! Last but not least I'm not in a relationship and don't have babies or am pregnant but this video gave me so much information! I will safe it, thank you. Lots of love from Germany, Lena ❤

[@helizabeth1029]

This is everything. I’ve watched it 3 times now. They’re both just such good listeners/communicators. And incredible mamas 💕

[@bekahreidsma8462]

I love this. I hate the "you just wait". It is so hard from seeing your body one way then seeing it a whole new way is so crazy, but sooooo like EMPOWERING. Like I did that. I carried life

[@hairbyrebekahbell6511]

This video… 🙌🏼 when you didn’t know you needed something in your life and it just comes along… Such a healthy, honest, amazing conversation to have, see and feel part of. For a first time mum, seeing a mum to be and a mum of 2 have an honest open conversation, with such different pregnancy journeys is so refreshing let alone it being 2 of the biggest OG’s … and my personal faves 😘… Thankyou guys, just, Thankyou for this ❤ Xx

[@kellymcbryde5696]

My dad just passed away from cancer a few weeks ago. He was diagnosed with terminal cancer literally two weeks after my wedding last June and it took him within 7 months.💔 I’m the youngest of 4 with 3 older brothers and I literally can’t fathom going through this loss without my brothers. We’ve spent so much time reminiscing over the memories with our dad and we all got to be with my mom as my dad was passing…it was the hardest thing I’ve ever experienced but I am forever grateful that my whole family got to be together to grieve and support each other during that time. I’m heartbroken to think my dad will never meet any of my babies one day because he loved being a grandpa SO much to my nieces and nephew.. but I’m so glad I got to see him enjoy being a grandpa and that I at least have all my brothers to be wonderful uncles to whatever babies I have🥹💗

[@BrittanyElenaRemo]

When I was little I always used to ask my mom for a baby sister because I had two old brothers. It’s funny how kids always want a companion in that way. Congrats on being an amazing mother! Both of you!❤

[@evacreatecolor1300]

I agree with how everything changes after having kids but for the better. You like enjoying everything like before but much more with having you little ones. How they experience those things with you, is such a beautiful feeling. ❤❤

[@jonamarzan799]

Hi dezi, im currently on my third semester and luckily my gynecologist is a group of women who really cares about their patients and the baby, when i spoke to them about labor they encourage you to move or birth any way you’re comfortable and make a birth plan, they really value your input and they give advice/ opinions on certain topic to educate you pros and cons. I think it’s possible to have the birth you want at a hospital in the U.S the only catch is you gotta find the right doctors.

[@brianalucero5826]

I’m 20 weeks pregnant today with baby number 2! I’m so happy you made this video because even though I’ve done this once before it reminded me of some things that I wanna be more mindful of this time in my birth plan so thank you! I actually just started writing some questions down in my notepad so that I won’t forget 😂 you’ve been so open with your whole journey and it’s honestly incredibly refreshing. Of course I love watching all of your content and always have but I genuinely get so excited for anything you create that involves these kinds of conversations because I don’t feel like I have too many people to talk about these things with so I love listening 🥰 and side note, Bebé Balm is just about the best thing I’ve ever put on my skin so THANK YOU for that! I’m obsessed with the smell and everything about it.

[@natashagarcia491]

I can't ever not cry when women shout out single moms. Especially in a way like this. Thank you for making me feel seen.

[@marials9245]

I loved this video so much! I had my “babies” 19 and 18 years ago, so it makes me remember everything and I really miss when they were babies… As they get older also the problems get harder, but also the good things get even better. What a ride

[@naomi-elizabethtaube3096]

❤❤❤ I have an 8 year old and feel the exact same Mumma

[@eveningstar8581]

I know whatcha mean lol! My daughter is almost 23! Now here I am, just turned 41 and I'm like wait lol! I loved being pregnant! Awe I want a baby 😂 It's absolutely INSANE how fast it goes!

[@laurenfabiero8671]

WOW!! the video i didnt know i NEEDED. i just found out yesterday morning that im pregnant for the first time, and im TERRIFIED haha (& of course excited) but this video just made me so much more EXCITED!! thanks queens, you both are such amazing women! jamie, i hope your labor & delivery are smooth sailing. love you both!!

[@cascasey2540]

I have followed you since I was in high school, you have always inspired me so much. To being a fellow pisces ♓️ , in the beauty industry, green thumb, artist… & then we got pregnant at the same time. Your videos have felt like more support than friends & family at times. You truly helped me thru so much w your honesty & drive to make your dreams come true. Love your content & creativity & the way your brain works as a mother and a working woman 🫶✨

[@gabyyyfelix]

I love the way you speak about motherhood desi. You reassure her that yes it’s hard but it’s possible. 🥰❤️

[@rawan.jahjah]

this video made me run to a burger place and get the equivalent of an IN&Out order 😂 also, for someone who's not planning to have kids, I truly feel enlightened after hearing you both talk about your experiences, very interesting chat! love

[@almasantacruz7590]

So cute! Done having babies but will still watch, Jamie is soooo beautiful 🤩 the one thing I miss are those little baby movements ❤

[@remiyasui9574]

Thank you so much for posting this and talking about these topics. I’m 5months pp and am the first of my friends to have a baby so have no one to talk about these things with. It really felt like I was there talking with you guys and have never felt so seen 😊

[@Jgarcia10316]

I can watch this all day.. I feel like this is just real raw content and I’m here for it all

[@montanamarose6248]

I just found out I’m pregnant and this video shed sooo much light on things I didn’t know lol I appreciate you both sharing your stories and allowing us to watch you both become parents and families. ❤️

[@amyrichcreek]

My daughter was born a few weeks after Ocean. I absolutely loved this chat and would love to see more of them.

[@makeupbylexi22]

im pregnant with my second and I can so relate to when people are like "just wait for ...." !!!! its so frustrating to constantly get negative comments even when theyre laughing when they say it.

[@annaaahi_]

I needed this video! Im currently 25 weeks pregnant (first pregnancy) and literally everything you guys mention I think of on a daily basis. Like feeling guilty I don't do much, cause before I used to always do so much I just always been that person who is always on the go so really taking a step back and realizing its ok to not do much has been a journey for me. But omg the body odor thing is realllll I thought it was just me, but def I feel like my armpits stink more lol pregnancy is crazy! Loved this video from you girls!

[@olovethat]

Thank you, Desi for advocating on postpartum. I'm 3 week's postpartum and a first time mom. I never thought how much postpartum has affect me. Like Desi said, please reach out to a friend and ask "How are you doing".

[@hurrworld]

I absolutely love this video! I'm 27 and have been a postpartum doula for 8 years now. Love hearing one of my favorite influencers talking about the things I support women with everyday. No matter what careers or lifestyles, all women go through these things and I love normalizing them and hearing you normalize it too!

[@FaiyzaBeg]

You girls are raising adorable kids! Proud of you beauties! It's so sweet hearing how Ocean says such sweet comments! Good job!!!

[@amymarshall9800]

I love this! I just had my first baby around the same time you had Harley and I love to hear about your experiences with pregnancy and postpartum. I also agree with what you said about feeling bad about not knowing to check in on people after and continuing to do so even later than you think. I had no idea about it all until now. Anyways, fun video 😂

[@DexterMag-aso]

this is absolutely heartwarming It's like your just having a sincere chat with friends, and I'm so grateful for the insightful conversation you and Jamie shared. The way you navigate topics like pregnancy, postpartum, and labor resonates perfectly with the transformative vibes I've been exploring lately, reminiscent of the inspiring retreats led by Lisa Haisha. Can't wait to apply some of these learnings to my own journey. Thanks for being so genuine and relatable!

[@carrmamaa]

Yes single mom life can be rough & at times overwhelming. I just say it’s his loss & kids are too precious to not get all of you, your love & energy. it is comforting to see how beautiful men can be through you & your husband. & Jamie I wish you a happy heathy pregnancy and birth. Babies are the greatest blessings.

[@mikaelaabigailrose2767]

as a mom of 2, i really loved both perspectives❤ thank you ladies! and best of luck Jamie, welcome to the most rewarding fun time of life!

[@KV.JXLXMX]

Been waiting for this video!!!! I have never clicked so fast!!!! ❤❤❤ always thankful for Desi videos!!!

[@eveningstar8581]

This video was the best!! My daughter is almost 23! I just turned 41 and now after this video I'm like awe!! I LOVED being pregnant! I want a baby lol! All mamas out there, PLEASE trust me when I say that it goes SOOO FAST! Cherish each and every single moment with your babies💕

[@mothersclarity]

Absolutely loved this video. And thank you so much for mentioning post partum psychosis. As a survivor myself, twice now, it’s not well known enough and needs to be spoken about more. Just so people can understand the condition and how severe it is, how to survive it and also how to help a mother through this devastating illness. People know more of baby blues and depression, but it makes me really happy to hear people like yourselves acknowledging post partum psychosis and raising awareness. Good luck Jamie in your motherhood journey! Although hard, it is beautiful x Desi, I have followed you for years and love your creativity xx Great video xxxxx

[@dominiquepowell-saidykhan2916]

Sitting here pregnant trying to soak up all the advice and relatable content… 😌🤰🏾

[@briannaavalos]

Love this video! I totally agree I think the biggest thing is checking in on someone after they give birth like I was not okay and the only question people would ask is how is baby? Such a good video ❤

[@SoyChaiLatte91]

I miss DEZI on youtube!! The big sis I always wanted

[@janiebautista23]

Ugh seriously having both of you in one video and talking about pregnancy is everything!!! Been following you guys for ever!!! Love you guys!!! Hermosas las dos!!! ❤

[@xerindavisx]

i absolutely loved this video. im only 23 but learning all this information and getting the perspective of a happy, healthy mom really makes me more at ease thinking about having kids in the futute

[@yellowredbulll]

i haven’t been keeping up with any YT i like lately but this video i couldn’t resist i love jamie & desi!

[@DawnMGP56]

Hi, Desi and Jamie!! I love and adore both of you!! This was a wonderful video. I have 3 Sons, all in their 30's. I remember, very clearly, each of my pregnancies and births. It's a very special and memorable time, in a woman's life. I wish you both, the very best in love and life!! ❤️✌️

[@mschaylynnB]

As a woman that has also struggled with fertility and an avid supporter of Desi, the part where she mentions this being the best chapter of her life literally brought tears to my eyes.

[@elianasaint9496]

All of those are real postpartum facts! But also, add the chills and cold episodes in the middle of the night. I thought I had an infection and I was dying! That was because of the blood loss and epidural medication withdrawal. Not the best time, but all worth it.

[@LeanneTE]

This got deep and had me crying! You touched on such important topics and I’m sure this has spoken to so many people 🤍

[@Mommaslew]

I seriously am SOOOO SELFISH! Wishing this video was a four hour long EVENT! Ty!🎉 More pleeeeaaase!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jahanaracheema4451]

This video is so wholesome❤️❤️💯💯 looking forward to future videos like this one. You both are glowing habibi❤

[@Masterlesta]

Such lovely video. Desi, if you feel a bit of heaviness in the evening then my reccomend action is to go and see women’s health or pelvic health physio. They are brilliant at checking these things out. ☺️

[@shakiragonzalez9098]

As a first time mom to be this makes me feel so seen and happy 🥺❤️ thank you girls for sharing your journey !

[@cheyennedarosa5803]

To touch upon labor and delivery in the hospital vs at home, as a RN, I literally have always always felt this way. A literal dream of mine is to get my doctorates of nursing and practice as a midwife and be able to open a birthing clinic that offers medical care while empowering women to give birth in ways that are conducive to the experience they want and deserve..

[@griseldagarcia4809]

DESI!!!! Amiga your back with another video, yayyy!! I am loving it! 💗💗💗💗 May God blesss you and your familia linda! 🤍🤍

[@priscillacarrillo652]

1st of all, I can’t get enough of your accent! Congratulations on this wonderful blessing!

[@kimberlymdefrancisis3721]

I loved this, the topic, how real you both talked about pregnancy and motherhood. I needed this ❤

[@imajicaxo4874]

I'll never forget when I was pregnant with my first, I was 18, turned 19 and by May time, I was 20 weeks and one lady told me I'm going to be the size of a house cos she thought I was due. Making out I must have twins and tried it touch my bump, I was like that's so rude. The unsolicited advice people would give was wild. This is such a beautiful video of 2 amazing mummas. Having community through motherhood really saves you ❤

[@jodiekelly1355]

Can confirm, was 100% more emotional with my daughter than with my sons 😂

[@anayeli1102]

This was so calming so relaxing, you guys are being so real, desi we have the same pregnancies ! I had a boy and girl too

[@ana07Christina]

Love this video ❤ Im 18 weeks pregnant 🤰 and can’t wait to meet my baby!

[@HairByLupayy]

As someone who is pregnant I relate so so hard to this. So validating. Thank you for this!🫶🏻

[@margaritaamigon]

Literally had to text my bestie after this bc I genuinely had no idea everything a mom goes through until now having my own. And totally podcast vibes. I was washing baby bottles and folding my babies clothes lol😂 but I had to look when Harley came on for the cuteness ❤

[@Lori_Alexandra_mua]

Really enjoyed this video collab of friendship and so candid and real such great tips and stories what a wonderful friendship !!! Xxx

[@Sojuuuuu]

Will you be uploading any new GRWM! Miss the old videos 😅

[@MrShanay123]

Loved loved loved this!!! Jamie G - the Hypnobirthing classes are amazing! Highly recommend 👍

[@kateyrobson5660]

When Pisces and Cancer get together, "I love crying too!" 😭😭😭😭😭🤣

[@biancawolff4197]

THAT HIGHLIGHT THOUGH 👏🤩🤩

[@PamelaH_HappyVibes]

Such a cool video. It’s crazy seeing you both at this stage in your life. ❤

[@christinakleo5723]

Currently 25 weeks and loving the pregnancy/postpartum content ❤

[@LyssRyann]

I loved every single second of this!!! 💕💕💕

[@NidyaM3gahh]

Laying down as the common birthing position was also adopted for the convenience of the doctor delivering the baby. Not any better for reasoning. So glad to see you’re posting again!! 😊😊

[@angieSDlina]

Desi girl.. can I just say how G O O D you look ! motherhood suits you ♥️

[@erikadeprati]

This was so entertaining and informative ❤️ love you girls, you are both amazing mommas!!

[@brightdayher6329]

watching this again bc I miss y’all so much 😭🫶🏼

[@Ldmay22]

Craving fermented foods during pregnancy is your bodies way of telling you, you need it! It staves off nausea and fermentation is a natural probiotic! Amazing ♥️

[@Evamm07]

This was so fun to watch!!! Love it!! 💖💖💖💖💖

[@vmonique07]

Remember mamas we DO HAVE WHAT THEY HAVE IN THE UK . Most Midwives & doulas do the the 4 checkups with mom after birth . Yes sometimes you have to pay out of pocket but midwives are slowly starting to accept insurance. They truly care for moms well being and mental health and it truly life changing 💖

[@kim3084]

Desi is backkkkkkkk periodt and even better!

[@jessicacarnley4094]

When Jamie said "Mother Earth" hahah

[@patriciacalderon6924]

Im currently 34 weeks and patiently awaiting my baby girl! Really enjoyed watching this video especially because im a first time mom ❤

[@jk99ish]

So excited to see this collab! Why am I just seeing this

[@jpatty21]

This was so informative ty ladies!! Can't wait to meet my little boy!

[@LuciaOrnelas]

I love how real you are! Thank you for being an inspiration for me ❤

[@kandieherrera3212]

I agree with Desi about ppl always anticipating the negative. It’s only negative if you look at it that way. I have 5 kids and ppl wonder why I’m not overwhelmed but I think I come with the perspective that life is too short and just enjoy it (while obviously still parenting, I’m not talking about the discipline part). Just go with the flow ❤

[@amandalopez7493]

Two of my favorite youtubers ❤

[@emromm]

I had a natural (planned) birth and I loved my experience!! My midwives were incredible and I was encouraged to switch positions and try anything! I shocked myself with wanting to be on my back. I was truly so exhausted that it was the only thing my body could do! You just never know until you do it!

[@lisawatts8854]

Yes Desi, yes baby #3. You're an awesome mom.

[@444_rc]

i’m so late watching this, but 8 weeks PP here 💛 so glad you mentioned about the sweats & breast milk b.o.! i thought it was just me 😭 thank you for the reassurance 😂

[@ckelseya]

LOVED this video, I’m 6 Mos preg and I’m always looking for other insights. Love yall❤

[@joirri]

I LOVE not getting a moments peace. My little girl was literally a part of me, I love being around her all the time.

[@caoimhehutchinson8258]

Love this and your friendship and honesty!!

[@kristen8665]

I am 18 weeks(ish) w/my second and a cashier at my local grocery store asked me if "I was getting fat"! 🤬 I know one day I'll probably laugh about it but it shocked and enraged me that anyone would say that to someone!

[@gothicbubbles]

Loved this video. We mamas have to learn from each other to get through it all. ❤

[@Nlovexo]

You have to do a part 2 of this theme but with Adrienne Bailon/Houghton. You both had similar stories and are now both moms! Can inspire so many!
