I’M PREGNANT (AGAIN)!!! Michael and I are so excited that we're expecting baby #2! 🥹🍼
Taking pregnancy tests and getting a clear result was such a SAGA this time around! I’m so glad I filmed it all so I could share this with you but SHEESH...what a journey. In today's pregnancy vlog, I take you along for all of the tests we took, Milo’s reaction to the big news, and some of the exciting and challenging moments of the first trimester so far. Stick around until the end of the video for a peek into tomorrow’s episode of The Real Stuff podcast which is made up of weekly check-ins from me during each week of this first trimester so far!

21:26 - 22:00 podcast teaser
In early January, I just had the feeling that I was pregnant. Since I got my period back after having our son, Milo, my cycle has been super consistent and I’ve been tracking my ovulation with the Natural Cycles app. Once Michael and I decided we were ready to start trying to get pregnant again, we used the app to figure out when exactly I’d be ovulating. In January, when I was 8 days post-ovulation (8 DPO - right after our first time trying), I was feeling like something was different. I was experiencing this very subtle cramping and slight pinching that was similar to when I was pregnant with Milo!
I decided to take a test even though it was early just to see what it would say. Michael and I were so excited and our hearts were RACING! Then the test said…NOT PREGNANT! That was the start of a loooong journey (only a few days long but what felt like weeks) of taking multiple tests that said “not pregnant," seeing very faint lines, getting TWO error messages, finding out the tests I had were EXPIRED, and eventually going to the drugstore for a bunch of new tests to finally get a very clear positive result.
Putting aside the fact that I was having these subtle symptoms that were similar to my last pregnancy, I was pretty convinced I was pregnant based on some of the earlier tests. Those lines can be SO faint, but when they’re there, they’re there! I totally understand Michael being desperate for a test to very clearly say “PREGNANT” or “NOT PREGNANT” once and for all, though. It felt so good to have a definitive result - especially since it was the result we were hoping for! 🤍
I also included the sweet video of Milo that we used to tell our families that we’re expecting. He is SO excited and really *gets it*. He even told his teacher that there’s a baby in Mommy’s tummy! At the end of the vlog, I included some little moments from my first trimester - the good and the barf-y. 🤢 I also added a little teaser of tomorrow’s episode of my podcast, The Real Stuff, which will have clips from each week of this trimester so far.
We couldn’t be more excited for baby #2 and I can’t wait to bring you all along for the ride!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Excited to follow your journey 💞💞✨✨

[@mariahmulhare1706]

Your parents' reactions made me cry! Mazel tov to you both and to Milo becoming a big brother! So excited to follow along on the journey again! ❤

[@karlafernandez6268]

The “here we go again!” from Milo & grandpa. So precious!!!! Congratulations!!!! ❤️

[@jj-if6it]

Love how calm and reassuring Michael is about everything

[@manonroy2417]

Congratulations !! This news makes me so emotional (thanks hormones!) You were the first woman who really informed and inspired me throw your motherhood experience. I watched all your videos back in autumn when I was trying to be sure I was ready, so to know that we are now pregnant at the same time makes me smile so hard. Congratulations again ans thank you for all you are sharing 💓

[@smrithisondur9873]

LUCIE!!! I jumped when I saw this!! So happy for you guys and I can't wait to be a part of this journey (however much you wish to share) with you again!! I keep looking back at you told pregnancy vlogs!!

[@HannahCPageUK]

Congratulations!! This is so exciting, I'm so happy for you and your growing family! Since you first shared that you were pregnant with Milo I've turned to your conception/pregnancy content to help me with those anxieties. I've been following you for years so it felt sooo natural to turn to your experiences for support. When I found out I was pregnant, and chose to keep it a secret for a while, your content helped me MASSIVELY to feel connected, positive, and "safe", you know? I'm currently 14 weeks pregnant with my first baby, due 10th September. Absolute best of luck to you guys!! xxxx

[@luciebfink]

I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!

[@WimbledonGirl22]

Congratulations Lucie and Mike!!!!! I cannot wait to follow you on your second pregnancy journey. I am also pregnant with my second :) I would love to know what you are doing differently for this pregnancy and if there are any new baby items that you are buying. Lots of love xxx

[@caroline9H]

Congratulations!! Milo is adorable 🥰 and your parents delayed reaction/shocked disbelief was the best (I actually cried), I wish you and your family much love and health 💫🫶🏻

[@Sueaanne]

lol, Milo saying not happy is so cute! Haha congratulations Lucie!!

[@abbottdowns]

So excited for y’all! We had our first babies around the same time, and I have loved following along with your pregnancy and new mom content. And now we are pregnant with our second babies at the same time! Love this for us, haha! (Well for me anyway, I doubt you will see this.) Hope you are feeling great! 💞🎉

[@daniellejennings9016]

Congratulations!!! 🎉 You sold me on Natural Cycles and this is our first official month of trying using pregnancy mode!

[@averywunk2823]

AHHH so excited for you guys!!! Congratulations!!! Milo is gonna be the best big brother!! ❤

[@Naturalcycles]

Congratulations Lucie 🥰💜 We love having you in our community 🫂

[@kristinanthony2688]

Congrats! So cute! Same thing happened for me on the second. The digital tests kept saying not pregnant, but my period never showed. Two days after my period was supposed to arrive, I finally got a positive test. Here we are 35 weeks later waiting for baby to arrive.

[@rachelle2227]

Congratulations Lucie! I enjoyed keeping up with your first pregnancy as I was also pregnant (Milo is a few months older than my daughter). I’m also pregnant with number 2, I’m 31 weeks with a little boy!

[@bethanyharker3456]

A HUUUGE Congratulations!! So so so excited for you all!! Can't wait to see the reactions of your other family members!

[@megfussell]

Yay!!! Can’t wait for try becoming a 2nd time mom with Lucie 🥹

[@noravhunt]

The pregnancy test saga was so suspenseful even though I knew the end result! 😅 CONGRATULATIONS Lucie!!! SO excited for you and your family! Thank you for sharing with us ❤

[@Gabrielle.Steele]

Congratulations I’m so happy for you guys! I will say for people in the comments if you see this don’t crack open your tests. It makes them invalid and sometimes it just shows up as two lines because that’s what just supposed to be there. I would only rely on a test if it actually shows up.

[@nancye66]

Congratulations all of you! So exciting ❤

[@JessicaPhillips]

Congratulations on your second baby!! Wishing your family an amazing pregnancy. Could you talk about the financial side of pregnancy and having a 0-2 year old as well as how much it costs to have the help of doulas, nannies, pre-school, etc? Hoping to start my own family within the next few years and would love to be able to accurately plan for expenses ☺

[@NancyCavillones]

I related to this so much. I had my third (and last) baby almost 11 years ago and I still remember each and every time I found out I was pregnant. Mazel tov!!!!

[@jordanhall517]

Maybe for some people you have to wait until the morning to do it but let me tell you my cheap butt went to dollar tree and bought 3! Three pregnancy tests and all three lit up like a Christmas tree. Also I didn't even take them in the morning. It was at like 7pm on a Friday and I thought well I haven't gotten my period yet, let me just get some and see. Sure enough, preggers. Lol. The following week scheduled an appointment with my doctor and confirmed it. I'm so excited for you all. Milo is going to be the SWEETEST big brother. I can already tell. He's just the sweetest little gentleman already. Such a beautiful family. Love you and all your videos Lucie.

[@IsisMalaverRodriguez]

I'm soooo happy for you!! I've been following you since try living with Lucie ❤ & a mom of 2 myself 🥰 greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

[@jannettenunez4090]

Amazing news! Congratulations 🎉🎉❤

[@heloisebrunet330]

OMG !!!!!!!!!!! Congrats to you ALL ! You are a wonderful family !! Can't believe Milo is a big brother to be!!! So many failed tests, that's highly not probable! (By the way I am not blind but can't see anything on the two "cross tests" ;) )

[@jj-if6it]

You're so lucky you got pregnant both times fairly quickly! My friends are on the same journey but we're 37 and it's taking longer, so definitely better to start young

Couldn’t have clicked on this video faster when I got the KZbin notification though 😅. Very happy for you guys, I had my second baby 8 months ago and it’s been such a different and amazing journey. The sibling love and bond is so special and it’s such and honour to watch them together ❤

[@CarolineCarnivorous]

Congratulations!

[@mikal6376]

Congrats! But for the future all clearblue digitals have two lines when you open them. Obviously you're pregnant but many women who aren't open it and think they are, get excited just to be heartbroken that they weren't.

[@luciebfink]

wow! What do the 2 lines mean then!!?

[@jenp1032]

Maybe 2 control lines like the BD veritor test?

[@ChessiePalmer]

It's true! The clear blue digitals always have two lines.

[@alisalaska1786]

Digital tests always have two lines! Just so everyone knows! It tests more hormones than the others, which we always have in our system.

[@JLO1023]

Is there a reason your expected period would be 10DPO? That’s very short! I got a positive test on the earliest day I could based on the info on the box, which was 4 days before my missed period and that day was 11DPO for me! my expected period would have been 15DPO.

[@luciebfink]

No real reason!! Some people just have a naturally shorter luteal phase, and I know from tracking that mine is on the short side. Apparently shorter luteal phases can often lead to difficulties getting pregnant, but that wasn’t the case for me thankfully 🙏

[@JLO1023]

@@luciebfink that’s so interesting!! Thank you for responding and congratulations!

[@SamarkandChan]

You don't need to use digital tests. The ones that are just a strip do the same thing and cost a fraction of the price. 😊 I learned with testing a lot

telll this to my husband 😂 he only trusts the tests that spell it out for you in word form LOL
