FIRST TRIMESTER VLOG 4-12 WEEKS - FINDING OUT, FIRST SCANS, SYMPTOMS

[@paulah.l.]

Tbh I had a feeling for a long time Laura was pregnant, but figured she'd tell us if and when she feels ready. How lucky we are that you guys are sharing your lives so openly to us strangers.

[@jayantiiamonico6966]

me too! :)

[@Hannahborba]

Me too :)

[@patricie_kesy]

Me too

[@josieleugner546]

Me too, she was quite out of breath in some videos. She also mentioned a few times that she wasn't feeling great. So pleased for them. Going through a miscarriage is very traumatic and upsetting.

[@joanne-xh6ex]

Me too! x

[@stknmggs1788]

Love this joyful and authentic update! Congratulations!

[@Hannah28995]

Oh Laura, it is so refreshing hearing you say you will be hopeful as it’s such magic to be able to get pregnant. I felt this so much. We have been ttc after loss for 17 months and whenever I see that positive again I promise myself to have this mindset. Congratulations, you will be such wonderful parents ❤

[@geegurl25]

Haha! I love your Chinese food story! It’s SUCH a pregnancy thing! When I was about 3 months pregnant with my first, it was my birthday and I wanted Indian food from a very specific place. My husband decided to take me to a very chic, highly rated Indian restaurant. I smiled the whole time from arrival to being seated, then excused myself and BALLED in the restroom! I mean I was a wreck for maybe 10 minutes in there. I calmed down, still red and puffy, sat back down and my husband felt terrible. We ordered and ate and the place turned out to be amazing, still my favorite to this day!

I do love seeing the behind the scenes of the secret and I'm so happy for you both to be beyond the scariest period. 🥰 One of the things I wish someone had told me about when I was pregnant is "pregnancy brain" -- in two senses: 1. you'll start forgetting everything and that only slightly comes back (my kid is 23 now & I still am shit at remembering🤣) 2. Some people (🙋‍♀) are really affected by all the hormones and start to feel a tad insane, or not fully like themselves mentally, or extra emotional or sensitive. YOU WILL BE YOURSELF again lol, I promise. It's just the hormones. 💜💜💜

[@erickasantiago21]

Hello from the states. I've been a subscriber for a long time. This is the most sweetest, most precious moment to been able to share with you two. This is exciting! Congratulations! 💕✨

[@francinedefru5805]

Bonjour de Belgique, je vous suis depuis longtemps, je suis très heureuse pour vous. Vous êtes tellement amoureux que le futur bébé viendra combler votre amour.❤😊

[@emmalcm]

I'm currently 38 weeks following a miscarriage and can identify with a lot of your feelings. I feel like it's been a bit of a roller coaster because we're so happy and grateful but at the same time there's always just a little piece of you that worries about what might happen. We had a scan at 8 weeks too and seeing that tiny heartbeat was just magical ❤wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy x

[@pamelawantsmusic]

You got this mama 🌈

[@emmalcm]

@@pamelawantsmusic thank you! Had another scan today and all is still going well ❤

[@aliceinwonderland.2080]

Hi Laura, Ollie and Otto. I can imagine how tough and stressful the first trimester has been for you after your very sad miscarriage. I’m just delighted for you now that you’re entering the second phase and all is looking well. You can see the relief that both of you feel at the end of this video and the excitement of seeing baby in your scans. I’m so looking forward to seeing your future videos and baby growing - so many memories of when I was pregnant a long time ago! Times have changed a lot since then in medical care but the joy one feels never changes.❤️🥰

[@carolynhopkinson8642]

Lovely to hear all the updates! Enjoy the pregnancy now it’s further ahead. Time will soon go by till your baby is here! X

[@annakapskaya1619]

Can't even explain how happy I am for you guys! Smiling through whole video like crazy:)

[@mugglemom9135]

Thank you, thank you for sharing so much of your journey with us, you two. Though I'm a stranger you'll never meet, I can't help but feel as if you are both friends and I'm so very happy for you. Your videos are such blessings to so many. May God bless you in equal measure. 💗

[@pimmspimms5462]

I’m delighted for you, Laura! It’s such joyous, joyous news that you have entered your second trimester. You’re doing brilliantly! I hope that the rest of your pregnancy is happy and safe and that, before long… you’ll have a baby in your arms. Love to you and Ollie, x

[@norabihun45]

So very happy for you all. I’m so amazed of the photos of the baby. Just amazing

[@dionie1177]

So happy for you both, and that your little family of three will soon be four. Congratulations again, Laura. ♥

[@alladokashenko8033]

Oh my, I was pregnant just a year ago, and you reminded me about craving sour stuff. Completely forgot about it, but I was eating the whole bags of sour patch candies and drink only a cloudy lemonade during my first trimester! Congratulations again! Wishing you an easy and safe birth for both if you! You have a world of joy awaiting ❤️

[@stephlee4355]

I just came from your miscarriage/chemical pregnancy video because im going through the exact same thing. This video has given me hope. Thank you for making these videos you have no idea how much comfort this has given me❤🎉

Hello Laura What a lovely vlog I am so happy for you & Ollie Take care Andrew 💜💐xx

[@alicerosfield8078]

Gosh the exhaustion takes me back. Sort of preps you for that 4th trimester though! Massive congratulations to you both. xx

[@candacehari5531]

Thank you for sharing your journey this far with us Laura. Having spent a long time ttc myself before a successful pregnancy i could really relate to many things you shared. I had cravings for pasta with my first during the 1st trimester - just do it! I think your body tells u what it wants/needs 😊 I loved watching Olie's face in the last clip - the love & care for you, & also the relief was written all over his face. ❤ I hope you can both really lean in to enjoying the rest of this pregnancy now. 2nd trimester is when u feel the best! You're little one will be here with you before you know it 🥰

[@annwilliams9214]

I'm beyond happy for you both. You are going to be lovely parents. Enjoy this exciting time as you prepare for baby's arrival. ❤

[@meginmitchell5600]

It is nice to see how they are doing with the renovations and how the pregnancy is going for them. I had been pretty sure that they were pregnant again and when she was depressed that she had most likely lost a pregnancy. So good luck and I hope you have a happy and healthy baby.

[@rebeccaleena4876]

Laura, you and your growing family are just so precious! I absolutely love watching your videos and following along on your home and life journey. Thank you for sharing such an honest first trimester update video and I can’t wait for more updates to come💕

[@clareshopaholic3632]

Not surprising you're being cautious however now the pregnancy appears to be progressing normally I hope you can both relax a little and start enjoying it and looking forward to exciting times when you become a family of four!😘

[@pomme800]

I was crying along with you the minute you looked at the test....joyous, ❣🧸

[@danabrown2391]

That was really lovely to watch and share in your good news and excitement!

[@Hellosunshinyday]

I am watching this 24 weeks pregnant and fasting before my gestational diabetes test, and you are just talking about all the food that I want to eat so badly 😅😂 also feeling sick and sending you love for this pregnancy from Canada ❤

[@maxinerobson5336]

You’ll be such lovely parents. Congrats. 👏 ❤

[@sheiladouglas5258]

Congratulations from Kentucky in the US.❤️ Love your video and so happy for you. Enjoy the ride.❤

[@Jayne-Ann]

Ah so lovely to hear all your wonderful exciting news. We had no scans or tests back in my day lol! Enjoy every moment, take care of each other 🥰🐶 xxx 👶

[@d.e.7128]

It is so nice that everything is going well. I am really happy for you and it is super great that you are so open with your fear and panic. Thank you for sharing all this with us.

[@natvtxn1213]

This video journey will be such a blessing for you and your child in the future. Being tired is a major thing, but sometimes it can mean needing more iron in your diet. An old wives tale...if you have alot of gas and indigestion, your baby will be born with lots of hair! 👶🍼🧸

[@louiselill1528]

Im really happy for you both not forgetting otto

[@catherineanderson4755]

Hello Laura, it's been a long time since I've had a baby, all three of my beautiful children are grown now and in their 20s. But with my first pregnancy, Sprite was my first cravingI I wasn't a huge fan of sprite, nor did I drink it normally, but I really craved it and bought some and drank it then! I had three healthy babies, and I am praying for your baby to be healthy and strong! God bless to you and your previous family! ❤❤❤

[@annarchydeclutteranddesign413]

That 'unreal feeling' is hilarious! I remember with my first child, he was one year's old, and I was still wondering if I had got the dates of my cycle wrong (as in, hadn't really been pregnant after all!). Which sounds nuts, but a friend of mine had the same feeling with her first!

[@karenmarks5333]

❤🎉❤🎉Just so happy for you lovely people. Loved this insight & looking forward to the next update ❤🎉❤🎉🎉🎉❤🎉❤(a heart for each of you ) xxx

[@stephaniegower5103]

I did wonder if you were a couple of videos before your announcement. I thought you were showing…but I didn’t say anything in case you weren’t 😂 it’s lovely to listen to your journey…I never had children so I’ve not experienced anything like this. Thank you for sharing something so personal xx

[@sarahoehrtman623]

This video makes me very happy. I'm so happy for you both. Thank you for taking the time to make and share this video with us. I know how tiring the first trimester can be. Best of luck to you for your pregnancy 🤞🍀💕

Love the weekly diary…. Thanks for sharing ❤

Ah such a lovely video I’m so pleased everything is going in the right direction for you and now your able to enjoy the pregnancy a bit more , you both look so very happy I’m sure your going to make wonderful parents, look forward to seeing your adorable bump grow and I’m sure when it’s due date time there will be more than a few people here on the edge of our seats waiting for the news that baby has arrived safely 👶🏻❤

[@elainemcgran8828]

Don't be worried about your videos. U can bring us window shopping , show oilly doing the renovations. There's so much and we will enjoy

So happy for you both, love watching this when I know there is a happy ending 🥰

[@DevonMel]

So pleased that everything is going well for you. I agree re: UTIs. I had one at 24 weeks when I was pregnant with my son which triggered contractions. Thankfully they were able to stop them and I went on to give birth at 40 weeks + 5 days.

[@kerrymcdougall3719]

Hi laura. Im a mum of three special care babies, and one piece of advice i will give you is to try and calm down and relax. I know you must be feeling estatic, and counting every day , but try to enjoy it , and dont forget each other in the journey. My eldest boy was born 12 weeks early 2lb 2oz dropped to 1lb 15oz. Hes now a strapping 27 year old working within the bowel cancer pathway. Im sure all is going to be just fine . Enjoy this crazy ride and dont rush it. Once there here it flys by. Enjoy having undisturbed sleep 😂😂😂 xxx

[@fayefoster5756]

[@susanlee630]

Hello! Congratulations!! As a retired pharmacist… ask your pharmacist [? Their title?] - if you can get a “coated” prenatal vitamin… it helps to cut down the smell and ‘taste’. It’s okay to take calcium carbonate tablets [chewable one] for your stomach issues. These are safe as long as you follow the directions…. Take good care of yourself!

[@Cazlee87]

So happy for you! I had a feeling too and am so pleased it's all going well. I'm 2 weeks post partum and obviously tired too because I yawned every single time you did 😂😂😂

Hi Laura love your videos! Just wondering how you came to taking baby aspirin?

[@rosalindhobbs301]

I’m glad your not doing anything, rest a lot and take it easy.

[@samaravaz1826]

Hi Laura, thank you for sharing. I just watched your miscarriages video. I am going through the exact same thing at the moment. A miscarriage at 8.5 weeks and just experienced a chemical pregnancy. I went to GP and he was so cold and unhelpful. All I want is to be heard and get support as soon as possible if I get pregnant again with medication. Can you please recommend a clinic which supported you with the progesterone and low dose aspirin? I never felt so alone, I wish we didn’t need to go thru so much pain 3 times before getting support.

[@harjotkaur6352]

Hi Laura, can you please tell me of if progesterone was prescribed?

[@savmhj23x49]

I can resonate with the crying over sweet and sour as I cried over no one willing to go out for a Sunday dinner with me at around 8/9 weeks 🤣

[@glenkemp2071]

Congratulations 😊❤to you both
