To Mamas Experiencing A Hard First Trimester

[@ashleyarredondo6976]

I was literally looking at your channel cause I noticed you haven't posted in a while, then as I was looking, you posted this! Congratulations!!!! What a blessing!!! ❤ Prayers for a healthy baby and mama!!!

[@malindashumpert7956]

A 5th baby? Congratulations, Milena! I always thought you would have four children, but having five is an absolute blessing! I may not be in a relationship yet or getting pregnant anytime soon due to health problems, but I’m rooting for all the moms out there who are either currently pregnant or trying to conceive, God has plans for you!

[@summerquiroga]

LOVE THIS!!! I had a huge feeling she was pregnant again ☺️ watching her videos has made me so calm in having more children! Children are the greatest gift!

[@kelseydonohoo8714]

Congrats milena! I’m 20 weeks with my 3rd in under 3 years, this pregnancy has been the most exhausting but the Lord truly has taught me to draw closer to him. Every thing you’ve said was so spot on.

[@Renee2224]

I am 6 weeks with 3rd in 3 years too! 😅

[@shiilovesdogs]

Congrats!! I successfully entered my second trimester few weeks ago, I’m now 16 weeks and 5 days and it’s my first child! So grateful to God for our little child growing inside! The first trimester was tough indeed, hang in there mama! ❤

[@lovemor794]

“The enemy is so sneaky” is such a true statement. Im so proud of you and definitely will be praying for you and your growing family ❤

[@indiefolk.coffee3032]

Congratulations mama!!!!! So happy for you! I just started second trimester with my 3rd. That first trimester kicked so hard on me, it’s been my hardest. The nausea, the bloating and the tiredness was so heavy but I thank the Lord every moment and repeated myself, this is for you baby and I will not feel like this forever. I’m blessed to be pregnant. This time I take rest seriously, i listen to my body while taking care of 2 toddlers. Now I’m feeling more like my self but still listening to what my body needs 🩷 I pray for all of you that are pregnant right now. That the Lord keeps taking care of you and your babies and they grow strong, healthy and beautifully. Bless you!!!

[@___Rebecca___]

When you said you need at least 12hrs of sleep in the 1st trimester it made me feel so much better. Currently 8 weeks and have 3 littles and I was feeling guilty for feeling like I needed that much sleep ❤ going to try to prioritize going to bed early.

[@baleslydia2009]

Im in the newborn phase with my first child (he's 4 1/2 weeks currently) and ill say the most challenging season was 1st trimester by farrrr. While im up every 1-2 hours in the night (baby is gassy and a bit colicky), the nausea and exhuastion of firdt trimester was so discouraging and isolating. But like you said, now that my little one is here, all i think is "i love you so much, my child and i want 10 more" 😂 chuldren are precious and such a blessing. You will get through this and feel human again. First trimester can feel like survival, but you will get through and things get better. Youre doing great. Congratulations, mama!

[@alena4212]

Omw! Congrats 🥰 So exciting!! My first pregnancy I had severe hyperemesis, literally throwing up 10x a day up until delivery. Landing me in the ER with many other complications, ended up in a coma. Me and baby are healthy now, my baby just turned 3yrs! With my second I still had pretty bad nausea/vomiting well into the 2nd trimester. My babies are only 18m apart so I know it’s tough with littles. But honestly, all I could ever think about was how blessed and thankful I was to be able to easily conceive and carry my babies. I would take the most extreme sickness again for my babies and even with thinking about my future pregnancies. Bitterness, fear or anxiety is something I never struggles with even from my very difficult pregnancies and deliveries. Nothing helped my sickness, not even medication for nausea. The only things I could keep down was red meat and milk 🤷🏻‍♀️ We are hoping for baby #3 this year sometime. Hope you feel better soon!! Know your not alone, I literally threw up everyday for an entire pregnancy lol Sending prayers and love your way 💕💕

[@krystalmendoza8862]

Congratulations! You are such an encouraging woman for me to watch! I’m 27 almost 28 and 20 weeks with our 4th. 1st trimester was HARD, but thank God he’s helped me overcome and we are past that stage! Praying for you and your growing family!

[@WhiteOakHollow]

Magnesium! LOTS and LOTS of magnesium! I’m pregnant with my 6th and high doses of magnesium and B 6 is complete game changer from the ones I didn’t do that. And NORA tea.

[@laurfred2742]

Just found out I'm pregnant with our 5th baby as well. Great timing. Thank you!

[@hannahleff7435]

I like you am pregnant! This is my first baby and I am only 7 weeks. In the thick of nausea and fatigue. Struggling to get through the day. I couldn’t imagine how challenging caring for toddlers would also be. Congratulations sister ❤

[@leandraainlove]

I am pregnant with my first too. 10 weeks today. I have thought the same thing, how do mothers do go through this with toddlers and children!!! It has been so challenging this first trimester. 😖

[@LittleOneWithWings]

Congratulations! And thank you for sharing this in spite of the difficulty of finding time and energy to film it! This was such a balm to my soul right now. I'm well out of my first trimester at this stage, but this is my third pregnancy and taking care of two little kids on top of trying to take care of myself and baby has been so challenging and I have struggled so much to have realistic expectations and prioritise the simple things properly, because I'm too busy criticising myself for needing to change up the routine to accommodate the demands of growing another little baba. God has used your video to encourage me so much, and remind me this is a season.

[@alexismaewaterman]

Congratulations Milena and Jordan!!! How exciting to be adding another baby and sibling!! Praise God praying for a beautiful pregnancy and labor and delivery❤️💜💘💙

[@cheer1volley2]

We had surprise spontaneous triplets without trying to get pregnant. Feeling out of place in my rapidly changing body was so tolling. Every trimester was so hard physically, emotionally, etc. Nausea, morning sickness, fatigue, dizziness, odor sensitivities, food aversions, body pain, you name it. I feel like so many moms around me had a comparatively easy pregnancy and I just felt dog-piled on. Sending prayers from one hard-first trimester mama to another. I couldn't imagine having other children to take care of on top of pregnancy.

[@TracieSmithpomeranian]

Before I found out I was pregnant I was sensitive to smells. I actually threw out fresh fish because it smelled odd.... 😅😂

[@LeahHollinshead]

Congratulations!!!! I JUST got out of the first trimester with my fourth. (15 weeks) It was so tough. This would’ve been so nice to hear, but I’m thankful for you and putting this out for other mamas in this season. ❤ praying for you in this first trimester! Praise God!

[@ErikaHantz]

Congratulations!! I had 4 children in 4 years back to back with 3 miscarriages and seeing you sit down to wash/load the dishwasher just brought that back to my memory I had to do the same with cooking and any work in the kitchen. It hurt so bad to stand but my family still depended on me to fulfill my roll as a mother despite how bad I felt! It would've felt even worse than physical pain to neglect my home and husband and children's needs!!! Praying for you and other mama's out there. God is with you in every moment ❤️

[@MilcaRhodes]

MILENA! Congratulations!!! So exciting!!! I’ve been pregnant with you during every pregnancy. It was even odd that when you miscarried I was also miscarrying. I’m currently 36 weeks with our 4th so I’m no longer keeping up with you hahaha. So happy for you! Thank you Lord for the beautiful blessing of carrying babies!

[@tiffany2683]

Congratulations, praise God! First trimester is always borderline unbearable. I’m pregnant with number 5 now about to enter into the morning sickness but after miscarrying our baby at 13 weeks I’m going into it very thankful. And yes, community naps are where it’s at with more kids 🙌

[@bjg972]

I just KNEW that you pregnant again ❤️ so happy for your growing family,!! I’m in my second trimester 3rd child and woah first trimester hit me like a TON of bricks I couldn’t belive it , this video would have been so helpful but praise the lord for his grace and I’m feeling so much better 😊

[@paigesanjose3752]

Congratulations!! ❤ thank you for this encouragement. My 3rd pregnancy I was sick the entire time but you’re right, once you hold your baby you can’t wait to do it again 🥰

[@kerrykearns3551]

Awe congratulations 🎉 I'm pregnant at the same time as you again have been watching you since your waiting for marriage video and have gone through multiple pregnancies with you, I am also homeschooling here in the UK sending lots of love and health for the new year god bless x

[@lauramartyn9208]

Me too. I’m also in the UK. In Shropshire 🙂

[@YolandaMLopez]

Congratulations 🎊 you go mama! I hope you are able to get rest and support throughout this time. I’m also pregnant 15 weeks, but I’m still throwing up. This is my 4th pregnancy, and I unfortunately get HG (Hyperemesis) so with each pregnancy I lose 10+ lbs and I have ALL day sickness up until like 18 weeks. And let me tell you this pregnancy has really hit me hard and it just robbed me of the joy and excitement that I want to feel for my unborn child. This video especially the intro was so comforting to hear you say that it can be normal for us to have these feelings towards being pregnant just because of the difficulties we can face if we struggle with this level of sickness. Especially when you have other kiddos.

[@Renee2224]

Also in the thick of my first trimester with 2 and this was so encouraging

[@paige.hentschel]

We love a good soft launch! Congratulations 💕💕

[@laceywolfleg2020]

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Praise the Lord!!❤❤❤

[@AbbeySchroder]

Oh congratulations! I am 10 weeks pregnant with my rainbow baby and absolutely adore your channel. I feel like it helps me so much in my walk with the Lord, so cool that we are both expecting!

[@AbbeySchroder]

Also sobbing because the timing of this video / your wisdom is incredible 😊 Intentional God we serve knew I needed to see this

[@beccacastleman]

I’m pregnant with my first baby! I’ve followed yalls journey since your make up days & I know you have been very personal with your birth stories recently but I would absolutely loveeeee to hear anything more about how you prepare for birth, doulas, midwives, vaccines for yourself and your children, references for my husband preparing for this birth and fatherhood as well. I am hoping to have an at home birth or as natural as possible birth in hopes to prevent any interventions. I just want to pick your brain so much hehe! Or videos you’ve made that I could refer to for some of these things too. Love y’all!!!!!!

[@elizabethrose6853]

Thank you for this video! I am literally just about six with my fifth baby. My oldest is five and will just have turned six when the newest baby is due. I have had three miscarriages in between babies and the last one was five months ago. I know you understand all the worries that come with that. My baby has been getting up at least four times a night most of his life. He also only took contact naps. I just put his bed in my closet and that has helped and he has taken naps in there the last couple of days.

[@amyj3692]

I'm pregnant with my second (I miscarried my first early on, so I missed out on the terrible part of the first trimester the first time round). I had the WORST first trimester. I hated it. I was throwing up all the time, was bed bound, could barely eat, and could not do anything for myself. Having just moved, there was no support from family or friends, so I was totally dependent on my husband, who was working full time. On top of that, there were so many scares where I thought I was miscarrying, and the sickness would be for nothing. At the time I was adamant I didn't want to be pregnant again for a long time because there is no way I could look after myself and a child if I felt as bad as I did this time round. Thankfully, I'm 18 weeks now and past the worst of it. It definitely feels like a blessing now and very thankful the Lord brought me through that time and that my baby is doing beautifully 😅❤

[@Nicole-jz8yd]

I just gave birth to my third a week ago 😊 I was struggling with “wanting more” and at the same time having the hardest hyperemesis gravidarum pregnancy with gestational hypertension that put me on bedrest - I was certainly telling myself “ill never do this again”. But I 100% agree babies are a gift of the Lord so it is truly a mental struggle!!

[@lianned]

How wonderful! Congratulations ❤ God bless you, this baby on the way and the rest of your beautiful family. It’s soooo beautiful when God’s people are not afraid and obeying His word and are fruitful and multiply but I also know how hard it is to be pregnant while taking care of your other kids 😩 Lots of respect for you! May the Lord carry, comfort and strengthen you throughout this pregnancy. Much love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@jadealex556]

Congratulations!! I was just thinking of you. I was thinking of how much I have been lacking the past several days and looked up your page for inspiration and you happened to post 2mins before!❤

[@thewildhenhomestead]

Congrats!!!! 🎊 I had hypermesis gravaderim and was in and out of the hospital my entire pregnancy so I totally understand! Praying for a healthy baby!

[@Love-like-Lucy]

I knew it! I noticed it in the last few videos. Congratulations!! God bless you and your fifth baby to come!

[@FertileFamilyFarms]

CONGRATULATIONS! This is the third baby in a row that we’ve been due around the same time! Praying for a healthy pregnancy and baby! God bless 💗

[@kerihughes5887]

Congratulations!!!!!!! Your family is so precious and such an inspiration! I am also expecting our first miracle baby (natural pregnancy) after failed IVF. I am learning so much from you as I care for our foster kiddos while in the beginning of this pregnancy. We are praising the LORD! I am so thankful for your content! It is convicting and encouraging all at the same time!

[@minaalc9898]

Praise the Lord! And thank you for sharing this! I had my second in June and just found out I’m pregnant with our 3rd so this is very encouraging to me

[@sbragdon212]

Congratulations!!!! What a blessing. I’ll be praying for a healthy baby& mama! ❤

[@audridavis5640]

Congratulations Milena! Praying for you mama. May the Lord strengthen your body. ❤️

[@elyottlamy7108]

My biggest struggle is I have had 6 miscarriages. One of those I delivered and held my baby at 12 weeks. On my 7th pregnancy I have been blessed with a perfect pregnancy and healthy baby. Now 5 years later I’m pregnant again. I’m terrified and struggling. Would love some help for a healthier mindset during this time. I pray and thank god everyday and to relieve anxiety. But I still constantly worry.

[@jessicadaniel6345]

Congratulations 🎉 so happy for y’all! I’ll have to rewatch this again when we get pregnant again. I’m praying it’ll happen this year 🙏🏽

[@claudiacarolinapaziuk]

Congratulations Ciciotti’s! Praise God!!🙏🏽❤️

Congratulations to you and your family ❤️ I’m in my third trimester now with baby #3, and before conceiving this little one, I got Madison Younts pregnancy guide. She loves the Lord and the Lord has given her wisdom to help so many mamas. The guide has been a blessing to me, and it covers so many pregnancy topics that can help others. Thanks for sharing this video ❤

[@janessashyda]

MILENA - Congratulations!! What a blessing ❤️

[@Rachel_N]

Thank you so much for this video! Currently in my 1st trimester with my 4th child. This gave me courage to keep going.

[@ivyfritz5550]

We are pregnant together! I'm 22 weeks with my second! My sons will be 22 months apart. I'm a little nervous to have 2 small kids that both need me. I appreciate your content and positive spin on the whole process

[@Erin_29]

Didn't you just give birth like 8-9 months ago?? Either way you're blessed indeed. I personally couldn't imagine already being pregnant though after just having a baby. But that's me.😅I have an almost 2 year old girl, she's our only child and I'm not ready for another.

[@Meriniel]

Congratulations Milena🤍 I found out im pregnant couple days ago after two miscarriages last year, if you could please pray for a healthy full term baby this time around🙏🏻🙏🏻

Congratulations mama🩷🩵 pregnant here in the first trimester with my 6th. This was very encouraging. I always struggle with morning sickness xo

[@shaunWrox]

Congratulations, Ciciotti family!!

[@KarichokIsBack]

Magnesium chloride salt foot soaks for 20-30 mins with a cup of this salt are an excellent way to absorb magnesium. Also I tried to increase my B vitamines intake and especially B6. And I had wrists bandates with a pearl to press the acupressure points. Since the 2nd month up until the mid 5th I had nausea. To avoid vomiting I would smell the lemon essential oil a bit and avoid drinking during the meals. Also I had to avoid having an empty stomach. I prefered grapefruit seeds extract as a natural anti viral and antibiotics, I avoided essential oils during prergnancy. Congratulations on your pregnancy, may Jesus help you through 🙏 You are amazing and admirable to handle so much right now 😊

Congratulations!!! I'm just curious who is with the kids in these moments? This video has you in the kitchen alone for quite a long time... And how do you get to bed at 630? Are your kids all asleep by then? How in the world do you do this?

[@bolivia.j]

I def had suspicions 🤭

[@stationaryobsessed5832]

Is oil of oregano pregnancy safe? And are you taking any prenatals?

[@yuricastillo3221]

Congratulations Milena🎉 I am pregnant with my six baby, I can say that my first trimester was a little rough, but the Lord helped me.

[@aavela]

Congratulations! Perfect timing with this! Currently 11 weeks pregnant with my third. I already feel like I have been pregnant forever, my back hurts, I’m so tired. I feel like doing one task takes all the energy from me, and I still need to take care of my two other kids. Could you do a video on how you parent multiple kids? I’m nervous with a third (but super excited) biggest thing that I am worried about is when all three kids need attention. Right now it’s easier since one parent can be with one and the other parent can be with the other. With having a third, we are out numbered. Any advice is appreciated 💓

[@SimplySami13]

we need to normalize seasons of survival mode and it being totally okay and valid. inside and outside of pregnancy ❤
