This is so important: girls, women, it’s okay to not enjoy a part or an entire pregnancy!!! That does not in any way mean that you are/will be a bad mother, or that you are ungrateful etc!!! Some women love it, some women don’t mind it, some women don’t like it at all… and that’s perfectly fine!!! After all, it IS a challenging process for a body and every woman will have a different experience with pregnancy :) (Also, it’s okay if a woman doesn’t want to be pregnant or want any children at all. It doesn’t make you less of a woman. :) ) Jess I hope you’ll enjoy your second and third trimesters a bit more and that they will be a bit easier on you ☺️😘 I’m so happy for you guys!!

[@fakhras8393]

I swear it felt like I’m sitting with a close friend of mine as I’m also in my first trimester and it felt so relatable to listen to you. So happy for you Jess and so thankful for the pregnancy content you’re giving us

[@erinnorton7711]

The bloating is so common! Your digestion significantly slows down because your body is trying to get every last bit of nutrients out of what you consume to provide for your daily calories and your sweet bubs! My husband and I had our first in august, babies are such a blessing, so excited for you both!

[@macibogdonovich2307]

I've dealt with carsickness my whole life and my mom actually recommended these bracelets called sea bands (aka pregnancy bands or nausea relief bands). They put pressure on a nerve in your wrist that actually relieves nausea. They have been life savers, but I've also realized I get sicker in the car if I read or look at my phone. So happy for you and Gabe and will continue to pray that God gives you both the strength and wisdom. God is so good! Amazing how He's made our bodies!

[@nicolecoleman1928]

We were pregnancy buddies! I lost mine at 14wks and it makes me so happy to follow your journey. I’ve been watching you and have since doing long distance and you guys have grown so much as a couple. 🥺💛👼

[@estefir2930]

So sorry for your loss ❤️ I lost my first baby boy (Noah) at 14 weeks too. It’s absolutely devastating! No words can make it better! It’s beautiful that you can enjoy following Jess’ journey. Not sure where you are in life, but my advice is to give yourself time to grieve and don’t feel like you have to rush it. I got pregnant with my rainbow girl a year later and she is now 3, and I am pregnant with a boy. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of Noah. Having his sister brings so much joy, but it doesn’t erase the pain of losing him. Sending you a big hug!

I’m so happy you decided to share your realistic experience of pregnancy bc I can definitely relate when I was in the first trimester so I feel relieved to know that it’s okay to talk about the downfalls of pregnancy instead of sugarcoating it as a beautiful, natural experience when it isn’t always the case…at least until the second half lol I’m currently in my last trimester and my love for him grows everyday he’s kicking❤️

[@julies8912]

Currently in my 3rd trimester (due in May), and I had such similar symptoms in my first trimester! I remember telling my mom that I can’t believe some women have multiple babies because the nausea and morning sickness was so bad. At the time I just couldn’t fathom going through this again but now that I’m out of that trimester, it is such a wonderful feeling. It really is taking it one day at a time! Much love to you and your family! 💗

I’m also in my third trimester with my second baby and every day I ask myself that question: why would anyone go through this multiple times 😂 but then you have the baby and they are awesome and you’re like “I can do it again”

[@makaylamoore5055]

This might be TMI, but during my first trimester and some of second trimester I had like vaginal discharge/odor and I was soooooo self conscious about it!!! I felt like I needed to take like 2-3 showers a day, and I cried to my obgyn about it. They kept reassuring me that it was normal and that it would go away, and it eventually did.

[@Sstarseed]

I remember my sister being really sensitive to odours throughout her pregnancy. She'd smell things that others in the house wouldn't. Basically, the sense of smell definitely gets elevated during pregnancy is what my sister used to so. Might help you :) Congratulations 🎉 on your pregnancy 💛 may you be blessed with a healthy baby and may you have a happy pregnancy, lots of love to you from India.

I remember that smell and I can’t describe it either! That’s actually what convinced me that I was pregnant was the persistent weird smell when I had to pee or when I did pee. I was like something is different with my body. So I kept taking pregnancy tests and they came back negative but I was convinced. Two weeks of testing and about 7 tests and the last one finally said pregnant. That smell I know exactly what you’re talking about but I can’t describe it at all.

[@mia6089]

Congrats 🎊 I am a mother of 3 and want to give you all some advice that I wish I was given at 19 when I had my first daughter 😊 I went through exact same as you with my pregnancies. Everything was sensitive to my senses. I ended up living on Honey Nut Cheerios, chipotle, salads and lots of water😝!!! I didn’t have much cravings because of my nausea so these items were all I could keep down & I lost weight instead of gained. But all 3 of my babies were born a healthy weight and to this day they are healthy young adults & my son is a healthy teen. So, Try not to be to hard on yourself (I wish someone would have told me this) and listen to your doctor and your body. Do what you can and take these next months to just rest and take it easy and give self love. Lean fully on your hubby and family. Your gonna need the strength to take care of your baby when she’s born… your life will be forever changed with an unconditional love you never felt before, keepsake all the memories you can because as soon as you know it she will be a young adult. God bless you and your family. Prayers to you and your hubby and baby girl. 🙏 💝

I was the same way! I hated my first trimester so much! I have a huge fear of throwing up so I was paralyzed in fear of throwing up until about 18 weeks when it finally calmed down. From that point on though I was so in love with being pregnant! We’re hoping to try again soon for another baby and while the nausea still terrifies me I know how worth it it is after. I also had a similar issue with the smell haha! My sense of smell was just so much stronger and everything smelled so weird. Congrats!!!

I’m currently at my 23weeks and having a baby girl too. I could relate 100% with all the symptoms you had on your first trimester. The sore breasts and bloating at first few weeks and until the nausea got worse to almost an everyday thing. I also cried at the bathroom, scolding my body that I couldnt puke anything anymore and just wanted it to stop. I didnt know first tri is hard for some, i thought its just cute having cravings etc. and the smell is real! I never opened our fridge because the mix of smells in it. But i’m glad we’re into 2nd trimester. My appetite’s back and as what they say its the best trimester for us. Praying for a safe and healthy pregnancy to you!!! ❤️

I COMPLETELY understand that smell you talked about when sitting down to pee and what not. I had a very strong sense of smell and it was so gross lmao... I get it!! I asked my boyfriend if I smelled too and he couldn't smell anything either so that brought back memories lol. The getting up during the night to pee thing started the middle of pregnancy I believe... I didn't do that as much in the beginning. I felt nauseous quite a bit every single day in the first trimester but never threw up... except for one time. I had TERRIBLE heart burn... omg... it was most of my pregnancy... beginning to nearly the end of it but it went away towards the end. My daughter is about to turn 2 on June 30 this year but I can still remember those symptoms like it was yesterday. I also had headaches and bloating. The dry feeling happened for me too... I couldn't have enough Chapstick 😅 I tried everything to help it. I also had A LOT of those Charley horses... it was terrible... I had never had so many Charley horses in my life until I was pregnant and it mostly always happened at night. Pelvic pain started around 20-something weeks up till the end of pregnancy. I LOVED feeling her move around and it was so cool to see it from the outside. That was by far my favorite part!! 💗 the weirdest but coolest part about pregnancy for me was I was able to eat dairy without a problem afterwards and I'm lactose intolerant! I take these lactaid chewable before eating dairy so I can still eat dairy but during pregnancy, I never had a problem with dairy without taking the lactaid before... then I had her and it went back to having problems with it. It was crazy but eating dairy without a problem was awesome lmao. So happy for you two! 💓

I'm from Australia and i also LIVE for paw paw anointment as my lip balm! I started using it a few years back and now it's the only thing i put on my lips! Also, i had my first baby last year after 5 years of infertility and to be honest, i hated my first trimester, all very similar symptoms to you and my biggest fear was that it wouldn't lift after the first trimester! Luckily it did, but i have to say after going through infertility all those years, it was a weird feeling of hating the experience and also feeling guilty that i wasn't enjoying it more. But into second trimester i started feeling much better....until i then found out i had gallstones! But that's another story for another day, congrats on having a baby girl, they are the sweetest 💗

The peeing part get SO much worst at the end, I remember going 2/3 times at the middle of the night to pee. The hating first trimester part, idk one person near me that like it, bc we don't know yet whats happening really, everything is so new (even if I was pregnant before). One thing my mom always said to me, that I keept throught my whole pregnancy is: When you starting feeling your baby inside you, you need to know that you will never be alone (is conforting really), so talking with your baby during these times helps a lot, like explaining what your doing and stuff (expecially to avoid post partum depression and to help your baby feel confortable with your voice,AND I extremelly suggest that gabe talks a lot with the belly too, my husband did not did this and it was hard for her get confy with him in her first 2 MONTHS)

On the smell thing-I had an aversion to my husband’s pheromones from week 6-14, and still on and off (currently week 21 as of tomorrow). It comes and goes with the nausea. I would throw up from it at times. I felt terrible about it and was very gentle with him about it but he was such a champ. We couldn’t be intimate or affectionate at all for 6 weeks and it still hasn’t normalized yet.

I am in college for elementary education and I did a research study on Nausea during pregnancy and higher iq’s. And study’s show that having nausea throughout the first trimester could mean higher IQ for the baby. So even though it is really hard it is for a good cause

First time Mum in Brisbane too! I’m 24 weeks pregnant with a baby girl. Such an exciting time!

I love that you gave a trigger warning for nausea/vomiting because I have emetophobia and sometimes it can be hard but I was genuinely curious as a young woman about your pregnancy. Thank you for that I appreciate it. I’m so excited to keep watching along through your pregnancy. I am so happy for you and Gabe. All my love from Sydney ❤️❤️
