Real talk about anxiety. | 33 Week Pregnancy Update | JAKS Journey [CC]

After 2.5 years of battling infertility we welcomed our little baby girl Evangeline into our family on July 18th, 2019. We are currently pregnant via IVF to continue to grow our family. You can check out the other videos on my channel to see our journey to starting our family. I love hearing from you all so leave your comments below!

This was a hard video to make. I know it isn't a perfect explanation of anxiety, but hopefully it shed some light on the long term effects infertility and loss can have on family building. I am currently 35 weeks(for recording/editing purposes I run my channel two weeks behind) and can say I am doing much better and have anxiety levels back where they should be thanks to The Husband not being on a crazy work schedule and working with my OB to get RLS to a more manageable level. 32 days left! Keep on fighting ladies!

A good tool in the middle of it is the 5,4,3,2,1. Say 5 things you see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you hear, 2 things you can smell, 1 thing you can taste. Write out all of the things you are thinking so your brain doesn’t have to remember it, take a walk and then come back and read it to see if you still think it’s something you need to worry about. It just helps to stop the brain spiral that is happening.

Thank you for your raw honesty. I did not experience infertility, but I did have two miscarriages in the midst of two live births. Those loses colored every aspect of my successful pregnancies. The impact they have on us is real and profound and should be talked about more. Sending you peace and love. ❤️

Sending you socially distanced internet hugs! This journey isn’t easy no matter where you are on it. Thank you for talking about NIAW.

That was absolutely beautiful, and so real. Like the other commenter below me said, the fear is real (and palpable) And for people to dismiss it does the person experiencing it no good but also seems disingenuous. A lot of people don't realize how scarring infertility is; mentally, physically and emotionally. Again thank you so much for sharing. XOXO

I really appreciate you making this video and actually talking about this subject. I started following you because of your infertility videos because I was struggling a lot when we did our medicated IUI cycle and found out we only had 1% chance of it succeeding. It worked, and now I am a few weeks behind you, 28w3d, due on July 16th. Because of that and because of my previous miscarriage in 2019 I have also been having a ton of anxiety. Lots of people don't speak about anxiety and how hard pregnancy can be after loss and infertility. It's just such an appreciated video.

May GOD bless you girl ! :)

I knew I wasn't going to get through that without crying. Thank you for sharing. The anxiety and fear is real.

[@elodiecourtequisse7231]

This was so well explained. I am terrified of stillbirth. It s hard constant work to try to reassure yourself that things are likely going to be fine.

[@sweetbabyasia]

I just used your exercise when I was panicking about something at work. I looked at the worst case, the most reasonable outcome, and most probable outcome and it definitely helped.

[@JAKSJourney]

So glad you glad it helped!

I am currently 21 weeks with baby girl. We had a good anatomy scan, she been doing good and yet I still have fears of going to Dr appt tomorrow to listen to heartbeat and the what if’s. I have definitely have had anxiety the whole time and feel like it won’t end til she’s here safe. I hope future test are more positive and my thoughts are with you and baby boy.

[@kaylamarra6292]

Thinking of you these next few weeks ❤️ I can relate to so much of this and it sucks to walk through, I don’t know how else to really say it. I appreciate the rawness and cried right along with you.
