I'm in my first trimester, and I have SUCH big mood swings, and for some reason the cartoon opening made me start crying 😢 Ahhh why can't I stop crying?!!!

[@meganreed1989]

Your videos have been so helpful!! We just found out that we are expecting our 1st baby !!!! I’m 8 weeks on Saturday, and we’ve been trying for so long. Due in February.

Congratulations on the baby! Happy 1 month

These videos are the best I’ve found. Thank you so much for all of the effort you put into this channel. I just found out I’m pregnant

[@TheDoctorsBjorkman]

Oh Margarita! Thank you so much for your kind words. We are thrilled that you like them and hope they are helpful in your PREGNANCY JOURNEY!! CONGRATULATIONS MAMA! I hope your pregnancy is smooth and uneventful and a lovely distraction from all of this pandemic craziness--I know mine has been.

Amen! 🙏🏼😊

You guys are the best! Thank you for your videos, my husband and I have learned so much during our first pregnancy.

[@ryanbornheim2919]

I just found out my partner is pregnant. We are both so excited, scared and just want to do all the right things. Thank you for this great information!

[@spiritfitscott]

Love your channel my wife and I tried only watching week by week….. but we’re speeding through them 😀😀

[@louisianaboy131ify]

I am a first time father with one on the way. I can see how uncomfortable and happy my wife can be at the same time. I myself and am excited and so nervous, but confident. I am pulling strong will power to make sure that my wife is as motivated comfortable and in a great head space but using my energy to boost her confidence in herself. I am making sure to listen as much as I can so that I am to be ready when she needs me. We’ve been married 5yrs and together 15 total and this is an entire new experience for me to say the least 😅😁

[@ninawernick6501]

We have the loveliest ultrasound scan pic from 12 weeks with our first, where she was sucking on her big toe. It's amazing to see the whole and complete looking little baby on that 12 week scan

[@pricey1635]

This is great thanks guys! A lot of it is easier for me as we have the NHS but still a fantastic video! X

[@amybriggs8785]

This is such a cool series and your cartoon opening is adorable. Congratulations on everything. Could you maybe do a video on the more embarrassing, less glamorous symptoms that come along with pregnancy? Like the ones some moms don’t really like to talk about?

[@TheDoctorsBjorkman]

Amy, thank you so so much! Some of the episodes we have planned for the next couple weeks include a Covid in Pregnancy episode and a VLOG on "what I wish I knew about the first trimester" which I think covers manyyy of those less glamorous things you alluded to! Anything super specific you want me to make sure we cover?

[@amybriggs8785]

The Doctors Bjorkman Those episodes sound great! Specifics... let me see, maybe flatulence and urinating frequently. Although I know both of those can get worse towards the end and not just in the first trimester. Lol.

[@lauratrejo65]

Great videos tons of knowledge. I was hoping this one would dive into how the dad should be prepared to deal with the moms emotions aka hormones. My OBGYN told me 1/2 of her patients are taking an antidepressant I am on one too I was feeling so bad and guilty about my mood swings until she said it’s totally normal.

[@hazelmoriarty3944]

Thank you so much for these. My partner and I are just beginning to talk about having children(married and finally in stable careers!!) and it can feel super scary!! Your videos help to give me confidence as a woman and as an eventual mother. Thank you!! 😁❤️

[@hazelmoriarty3944]

Also absolutely love that you all say “dads and partners”! It’s very sweet and inclusive and I really do love it.

[@gabrielavazqueztinoco1829]

I feel so relief I found this channel! I’m only on my week 6 but experiencing morning sickness all day! Please do you recommend any over the counter basic medicine??

Love you videos! Please make more videos for partners. Thanks

[@kylejames1990]

To, gotta love that massive cut from "what can the partner love" to what the dude said 🤣🤣🤣

[@Forty7thproblem]

Hello I have been so lost in information, and am pretty over my head. Y’all’s videos have helped so much. I would love to hear more from the first time fathers perspective like this one but longer. I have been reading and watching videos and tend to stress myself out by thinking about all the info and how I want every single thing to be perfect for my partner, it keeps me up at night and today I even had a nervous breakdown (my first ever) I don’t want to add stress to my partner so I haven’t voiced much on these concerns.

[@Edward.Rippett.]

How is your baby doing bro? I wish you the best man, I have my first on the way and am so excited

[@awakstein]

[@basiapi8514]

you guys are genious! I have not seen many of this kind of videos, for dads, this is such a great idea! thank you ❤ we are 5 weeks on now and thanks to you I just got an idea and asked my husband to get a flu jab (I already went thru a cold myself last week 😔 and don't want to do it again during pregnancy)

[@danny8198]

I cant bare to tell my partner Im almost eight weeks on, after two losses. I decided Im gonna just sit this one out until at least the 12th week.

[@elenikampoutsi9868]

Hey, I had a back x ray while being 3 weeks pregnant but I didn’t know I was pregnant yet. Do you think that would effect the baby?

[@mahlialeilanisaturno9908]

I love all of these videos! I’ve been binging them! But I do think it’s funny to picture an OBGYN going to see another OBGYN 😅

Thank u for this wonderful video it helps me a lot Thank u but am now 8 weeks pregnant en am seeing A brown discharge is there something I could be worried about

Hello 👋 Is it normal to get severe headaches.?

[@TheDoctorsBjorkman]

Hi Sofia. It is not normal for pregnancy to cause severe headaches, though some people with migraines do find they increase in the first trimester. Pregnant women also can get more easily dehydrated leading to some mild headaches. But if you are having new onset severe headaches you should absolutely talk to you doctor!!

[@ChurchofCaboose]

At how many weeks should I tell my doc? My wife is maybe a week pregnant

[@lizzytica62189]

Hi love your videos. My first pregnancy I’m 5 weeks and have had a dry cough with phlegm the whole time it won’t go away is chronic cough normal during pregnancy? Will it harm the baby? Any remedies?

My wife is currently dealing with the same thing. We’re at about the 5 week mark. Any updates on how it worked out for you?

[@lizzytica62189]

@@SuperMessiah123 hi congratulations to you guys and it finally went away after posting this maybe 3 or 4 weeks after on its own thank god. So hopefully in a couple weeks more it will be gone. I think total time it lasted for me was like a month and a half or two months.

[@sarasudlow6136]

Should dad be at every appointment or just the big ones? (First ultrasound/gender ultrasound)

So I don't know why they don't point out the other symptoms as in the light cramps by the pelvic area and uterus. My fiance she is having light cramps on each side and she doesn't know why but I what I respond is "baby it's ok it's all part of the journey of pregnancy" idk if I'm wrong or right but hopefully somebody can help me and my fiance find ease and a piece of mind. Thank you guys.

Ever since we last were together last month of Jun 2022 it is know August 2022 and i haven't seen her at all... Idk what's going on but I been feeling weird 😒 we talked about this before things happen about men getting pregnancy symptoms and what would I do if she don't see me for a while and then we see each other and she has a stomach... I just told her well Al be very surprise if that happens

This video doesn’t say anything

[@Sammsy1126]

I love you guys and the video but the way y’all continuously look back at each other randomly is pretty funny to me for some reason 😂 I’ll be a dad in about 7 months. Love these educational videos and feel so good about myself knowing I actually want to learn , I never knew in a million years that I would feel this way about an unborn child. I never really liked/understood kids or babies for a long time and over the past few weeks I am noticing some pretty wild changes positively effecting my mental health instead of what I thought I was going to feel like. Really is a growth experience
