Im envious of your pregnancy experience. I am currently 31 weeks and my pregnancy has been so difficult. I lost almost 30 pounds in 4 weeks at the end of my first trimester due to SEVERE sickness and was eventually diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum. I ended up in the hospital for 11 days and got multiple other unfortunate diagnoses while in the hospital. To make it harder, I had weight loss surgery 3 years ago and as baby grows I have very little room to eat. And since my stomach is so small I can only drink or eat a little bit and I cant do both at the same time. Its been so stressful, and going through this during the pandemic has made it probably even more difficult. I am so happy you are having a healthy, happy pregnancy. You inspire me to try and take better care of myself and baby but unfortunately I can't really do any more than I am.

[@chelsead2924]

Awww I'm sorry to hear about your experience... sending you lots of love and light and virtual hugs for a safe and easy delivery. You've got this!! 💖

[@jray8553]

[@hollygaines9728]

Hey hun how are you doing?

[@user-qu3dj9rx2d]

Eat what you can when you can and try not to guilt yourself 💕 I hope you have an “easy” and quick PP experience to make up for a crappy pregnancy experience. I got a lot of backlash for complaining about my HG (same diagnosis, similar experience to you) but you aren’t complaining about the baby you’re tired and frustrated and hungry, so don’t ever let anyone make you feel guilty for not having an easy or amazing pregnancy

[@aprilmenchaca2269]

I love that you said not lazy because you're growing a baby I needed this thank you !!

[@carmenhartzenberg9209]

Rooibos means redbush in Afrikaans. It's a lovely tea. Very calming. My daughters fave. We call that drink a red latte. Currently in bed 25 weeks pregnant and hungry., 🇿🇦

[@samanthab8256]

I feel you on the second trimester cravings. My first trimester I hated pretty much everything. By my second trimester I finally could cook again, had my appetite back & was obsessed with smoothies & salads!😋

[@alieshasimpson5532]

I'm so excited of you and Matt! My husband and I had our baby boy 6 weeks ago, 7 weeks premature, and we were expecting a girl so nothing went as planned! But he's absolutely beautiful, healthy, and we wouldn't trade him for the world 💙

I am currently 18 weeks and just came across your channel and it has been such a great wealth of information!!! Thank you for sharing everything it is so reassuring and helpful and keeps me on track!

[@mvlococo]

Omg I’m so glad I kept watching to you making the green smoothie. I was feeling a little bit discouraged because I just thought you are one of those girls who eat perfectly healthy throughout the pregnancy and I felt so bad during my first trimester because I just couldn’t eat healthy. So glad to hear that you started eating healthy stuff again around 14 weeks because I’m there right now and feel it trickling back in.

[@colleensmith866]

I use my grandmother's crock pot too. It makes me feel so many happy feelings when I use it.

[@SamElle]

omg eeeek watching your pregnancy progress is SO SO EXCITING!!!! I love that we are following your journey

[@MagicalCooking]

You definitely need to buy this pregnancy pillow! I tried to find one that is very comfortable, they have different shapes. It saved my life and back during pregnancy!😉 I like this hazelnuts drink, never tried this before! I like your fruits and fruit salad, very healthy! 💖Agree about water!

Reading memories from the last months of my pregnancy❤️ anything I read after the births is a blurr though🤪 But the time I had for me at the end of my first pregnancy over 6 years ago was so special-you never really get that time again, enjoy it!🥰

[@aliciamitrowitz3122]

ginger grater and garlic press - two favorite kitchen accessories. We always made a lot of stir fry growing up and I loved helping with the ginger and garlic

[@dawnforlife]

Hey I am 31 weeks pregnant and just ordered the classic instant pot. I think it’ll be great help to pressure or slow cook after having our baby. I chose instant pot because I love that it is a stainless steel pot. Many multicookers are non stick pot which I am not a fan of :) Your pot cooks soup just fine though! 🤤

[@daisydude92]

I really enjoyed this more vlog style What I Eat in a Day! It was great to follow you about your day and see your meals 😊

Thank u so much for this video I'm 17 weeks and 4 months my babygirl is due May 13th thus helped me to stay motivated to take care of myself and my baby bc I been so down of not wanting to push myself to cook to feed me and my baby it made me feel like a bad mom bc therefore it means starving us both but I'm praying for God strength to push me thru out my whole pregnancy to make myself eat like I can be hungry and lay there bc I don't feel like getting up to fix or cook us something have anyone else ever felt like this

I love love love this new pregnancy content 😍

[@Nokss87]

My new favorite channel! 😍 love it and you! 💕🤗 thank you for the tips.

[@stephramos09]

Consider getting an Instant Pot instead of a slow cooker. You can buy a 6 quart one for a reasonable price and even add the air fryer attachment. It also has a slow cooker function and can make yogurt. It's going to be super helpful, especially once the baby comes. I personally have the 8 quart, which is larger than what I really need, but I make beans and soups to freeze. It's super helpful.

[@brendabenitez7359]

Get an instapot!!! They are amazing. Especially since you get tired at night it cuts your cook time by leaps and bounds. It’s a life saver!!

Hamelton Beach slowcooker in Teal is what I got. It works good and the bowl is big. They have different sizes for your prefference

[@christinestobbs774]

Hi love your vlogs & congratulations to you both. Can't wait to see the new addition. Just a little bit of advice hope you don't mind, but I recommend you don't put your pillows on the floor while making your bed because of all the germs that are on your floor will end up on your bed. If you have a chair or an ottoman to put them on, that would b so much more hygenic. Take care xx

[@kirakira8402]

Loveee all of these! Did you suffer from any type of morning sickness during your first trimester? If so what kind of foods did you eat to help?

[@Superpsychandie]

If you haven’t bought the pregnancy pillow yet, I would highly recommend the Queen Rose u-shaped one! I used the snoogle in my first pregnancy and didn’t love it and bought the queen rose u shaped one based on a recommendation of someone else for this pregnancy and i love it so much!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

I just searched it on amazon and it looks unreal! Highly rated top. I ordered another one that’s coming tomorrow from pharmedoc which has about the same about of ratings so I’ll see how that one looks when I try it but I may have to order this rose one 😍

[@aimeechas]

I have the Hamilton Beach Intellitime - love it!

[@noelcarter2100]

Omg, glad I'm not the only one who eats soup in the summer 😊😜

[@AgnieszkaMcConway-gp1gb]

You have a lovely diet. I also make the chicken soup. I dont have a slow cooker but I leave it to cook for a few hours on a low heat. It's one of the most delicious and nutritious soups I had in pregnancy. I'm 36 weeks pregnant and noticed that eating healthy food has so many benefits: It takes away lots of bad cravings. So far I had no cravings for fast food or processed sweets. I just try to eat things that come from nature. Somehow I have also not had any sickness during my pregnancy: no vomiting, no headaches, no heartburn etc. My only craving was like yours: more diary but it was when I was 7 weeks pregnant and I just ate quite abit of organic cheese :) I feel sorry for ladies who struggle so much during their pregnancy, most of my friends had either some fast food cravings or couldn't stop eating sweets. I think every body is different and it also depends on the diet you had before you got pregnant..sending lots of love to all mums who are struggling with food. Although I am lucky to be able to eat healthy without cravings, I know that every person is different and we have to be extra kind to ourselves without putting ourselves under too much pressure..

[@brendab.2176]

[@mericsahin5536]

Everything looks great! I wish I could stomach green smoothies but my stomach problems are still going strong at 14 weeks. Just a tip: soaking quinoa in cold water before cooking is a necessary step.

[@jofinney9543]

Every time you say .. so good ..😊 it makes hungry 😋❤️

[@billie5956]

How long did you cook your soup for after you added the quinoa? So much inspo in this video- thank you thank you thank you- for breaking me out of my same old food routines! Healthy & delish- everything you ate in this video is everything I actually want to eat (but haven't) in my 2nd tri. Cheers to a brand new year! Happy 2022! :)

[@yokoskitchen]

Love your vintage crock pot😂💕Chicken looks amazing!!

[@throughtheenchantedportal6617]

I have that exact same crock pot, except the lid broke a long time ago and I use a different one that fits it. I had forgotten what the original lid looked like. 😂

[@healthyeatingalways]

You should totally get an instant pot with the slow cooker option. Just to save on having too many appliances I think it would be so useful. Plus, with the baby on the way it will help you cook chicken in like 7-10 minutes on the pressure cook option. It's a great investment and one of my favorite appliances next to the Vitamix. What veggie wash do you use for your veggies/fruits? I would love to see more crockpot recipes from you or soup recipes. Love this what I eat in the day. I think it's by far my favorite one. I hope you get to do more during the rest of your pregnancy.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

That's a good point with the instapot - thank you for the reco! It's been high on my wishlist for a while now so maybe I'll finally pick one up when baby acorn arrives😉The fruit and veggie soak is Thieves by Young Living! You can find it on their website: bit.ly/3etUBgb

hi @healthnutnutrition ! I am new to your page, but so in love with your content! Happy I have found you! I am currently 17 weeks pregnant and your pregnancy posts are helping me so much. Curious about this though, calorie intake during your 2nd trimester. What would you say you ate on daily average for calorie intake?

[@jacitucci]

This was a great video! I’ve been watching a ton of these and I felt this was realistic. I’m trying to eat way better this pregnancy than I did with my first. I’ve also been craving a good chicken noodle soup - try adding crushed tomatoes to the crockpot and more veggies like green beans or peas. Such a yummy twist.

[@erinelizabeth4846]

I'm pregnant right now and soup is literally my favorite food lol and it's the summertime in FL

[@annatat2020]

I saw this scene in your video as KZbin was playing the playground and I said to my husband that we like the same things, latte, five minute journal, and HP.... And then in another video, I found out you have a pet named Cashew! We have a Cashew that loves kale too! He's not a dog but just as cute ❤

[@cryssiejones7315]

Awww you look beautiful i need to try the hazelnut drink i love hazelnut

[@charlottetomlinson4720]

Totally the same with the dairy and fruit!! I had always been wary of my cheese intake before being pregnant, and hadn't consumed cow's milk for years, mainly because of the hormones and antibiotics. However since becoming pregnant my body was telling me it didn't want almond or oat milk anymore, only cow's milk! So I found a fantastic brand of organic 100% natural cow's milk that tastes awesome. I'm loving that in smoothies and my cup of cacao, plus heaps of yoghurt daily!! I think it's my new favourite food haha. 😋

amazing. love watching your videos. I do this smoothie every morning before but without the cucumber and ginger but now i do the cucumber and ginger and instead of almond butter for fat i use avacado. I have a question but why do you put water into the smoothie, I ask that because those nut milk really do have 6 or 7 nuts per serving. It is already watered down..And I don't use ice. And i like coconut milk.

I'm 13 weeks so I'm just getting over the first trimester ickiness and anxious to start eating healthy again! I'm curious why you took the vitamin C considering the massive amounts of vitamin C you are likely getting in your diet (smoothie/fruit/veg/etc) and your prenatal also has it?? Immune protection?
