I’ve never been so happy for a pregnancy ,for someone I’ve never meet! I’m overjoyed for you and your wonderful hubby.

[@karinalewaters2582]

Me too ❤

[@hammettgirl]

Me too!!💗

[@amandatrader7111]

Same here

[@sherry8894]

I commented that exact same thing about a week ago! 😂 Maggie is just the sweetest person!

[@amandatrader7111]

@ I totally agree she’s so sweet

[@musicmaker4him901]

My faith in humanity has somewhat been restored! Seeing so many people including myself that don’t know you personally are so happy for you!

[@LetsTalkIBD]

I am so grateful and so overwhelmed by the kindness people have shown us! 🩷

[@aleshairwin8838]

I had hyperemesis gravidarum (severe morning sickness) with my daughter. I was soooooo sick!!! I lost 13 lbs in just a few days. I would have been admitted to the hospital, but they were full so they sent me home with home healthcare. I was hooked up to a “mobile” IV until I was about 20 weeks. I have to say though…..She was worth it!!! She is 25 now & is an amazing adult!! I pray your morning sickness is over soon!! I am so happy for y’all!! ❤

[@nancystewart2063]

Morning sickness is not fun. But it does get better. Just hang in there. I'm so excited for you guys. Sending my love to you both.

[@tulipflower2858]

This pregnancy was God sent..

[@Danajanene]

My thoughts exactly.

[@mandybarnett3647]

My husband and I have prayed for you two to have that dream come true...God has truly blessed you and I absolutely think that it is life affirming and true to your love story! We had one..in the worst way..but they told me I would have no more. I did not have a lot to do but throw myself into the one I had. I had her sister 363 days after the first! Did not see that coming! I had zero symptoms. Except that the tea smelled like hay! I had a son 15 months after that ! I felt like it was so refreshing to see you and Zac embrace all of your life. You are blessed and I will love your updates. You walked me through life with a stoma..I watched you grow..this will be so great...I know it will be great. I love your real and endearing posts!

[@georginaallison9250]

No one deserves this little baby more than you Maggie, relax and enjoy, i was walking home with my mum, i was pushing the pram she bought me, it was like a happy switch, everything g was baby, baby, im so excited no IVF, good girl,

[@lb_6248]

So so happy for you!! Wishing you the most uneventful textbook pregnancy!

[@momssillychannel9476]

Just found out my daughter is pregnant 🤗 she is 7 weeks now. I'm so happy for you and look forward to watching your pregnancy journey 💗

[@jodil1209]

My husband still remembers hearing me jumping out of bed every morning and then hearing me throw up immediately. I had morning sickness all day long for the entire pregnancy. It was so worth it, though. She's 27 now and 22 weeks pregnant with our first grandbaby. I'm so excited for you and Zak.

[@cooperheat7248]

I hope that you feel better. Enjoy this time, it goes by sooooo fast. I remember each one of my pregnancies like it was yesterday, & those years just flew right by. Now I am a Grandmother to a 15 month old "little Oliver", he is so adorable . I can't wait until you can experience the JOYS of motherhood. Take care of yourself, and I hope to see a picture of the little one in the future !

[@helengarrett6378]

Maggie, pretend nothing is going on? All over the INTERNET? Come on, Maggie. Does nobody know you are the famous "Let's Talk IBD" Maggie? Don't friends and family watch your channel? You are famous. Now about nausea. It was a real problem for me. Crackers at my bedside. Popsicles. More crackers. Stayed away from the meat counter and fish store. I had to quit work because of the nausea. It's pregnancy. That's how it is for some folks. If the doctor threatens to hospitalize you fight to eat. I refused all meds. I just ate and hung out in the bathroom and ate again. You are lucky. Zofran and Ginger! I just forced down teeny bits of food very slowly all the time. Then it all went away and I craved eclairs. I gained 50 pounds. I was preggers when my girlfriend was. We decided to make Shrimp Creole for our husband's. She went into the fish store and I watched her kids outside about three stores down the street in the French Quarter, New Orleans. But we had to shell those bugs because they came with heads and tails! Oh lord, it was awful! She shelled three while I was in the bathroom and then I did three while she went to the bathroom. Somehow my really good and "easy" recipe became a great meal that we could not eat. The guys and kids loved it but we ate white rice. It seems all systems are go for you. Just because you had one terrible, awful pregnancy does not mean this one will go wrong. My first was no picnic but successful full term, despite having been told I'd never have ANY children naturally. Hah, the doctors were so wrong. The second was easier but premature. It's a crap shoot each time, but everything sounds so normal this time. We wish you a gorgeous baby and much less of the nausea. Even dogs can get nausea in early pregnancy. It's SO NORMAL! Your joy is contagious. Concentrate on that and know that it's usually better later.

[@TheKatherineCummings]

@@helengarrett6378 Regarding your first sentences, you do realize she is sharing these clips only now, right? This was filmed weeks ago! She's not sharing it all in real time online while not saying anything to her family and friends! There is no "Come on, Maggie" here. Listen properly to what she says, instead of just jumping to conclusions. Come on, Helen.

[@amyannshipyor4096]

Pregnancy is a true blessing. Try to enjoy it even though you feel terrible. Morning sickness is no joke.

[@daveshoemaker7137]

What a lucky baby! To be loved so much from day one!

[@adelejay7747]

Stay positive and don’t be afraid to use the word MIRACLE! God bless you, Zack, and baby. So excited for you!!!🙏🏻👍🏻💕💕💕💕

[@IzzyTheInsane97]

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I also had that kind of debilitating nausea that you're describing. I was devastated when it still hadn't improved by 12 weeks, but my midwife told me that it often subsides by 18 weeks, which is the turning point in a pregnancy where the placenta takes over the production of progesterone. In my case, it did, and I had a wonderful, amazing second half of pregnancy, so I'm really hoping that it's going to be the same for you! I know it's tough, but hang in there. It might not yet feel tangible, but you have the strength and the ferocious love of a mother, and it will carry you trough. Wishing you all the best! 🧡

[@SB-xw8fr]

Thank you for sharing. I love seeing your journey to motherhood.

[@amyannshipyor4096]

The sickness is how I knew with all 3 of my children. I hope you feel better soon.

[@libbyd8626]

Congrats! For tips on nausea try the HER Foundation. I suffered from severe HG during both pregnancies. Nausea doesn’t magically go away as soon as ppl hit 2nd trimester. It’s damaging to women that the conception of that exists. I lost my job working with kids with disabilities due to HG, and my employer had demanded I go back to work at the start of 2nd trimester. It was also psychologically damaging bc I felt like what was I doing wrong, was there something really wrong with me, etc. that I was still miserable. Staying on top of IV hydration made a big difference along with 4-8 mg zofran. Things turned for me around 17-18 weeks. Since I had HG, that meant I could eat some things & water started to seem palatable again. Good luck!

[@LetsTalkIBD]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I think I wasn't expecting it to disappear suddenly, but I definitely wasn't expecting it to get worse towards the end of the first trimester! Ugh!

[@andrealarkin9109]

Food aversions were really bad when I was pregnant with my rainbow. I couldn’t see or cook saw meat, if I saw it while it was cooking or the smell of it then I couldn’t eat it. It got really bad at times so I feel your pain/frustration. I’m so happy baby is doing well I’ll continue to pray for you guys. I love LMNT I’ve ordered twice through your link and this last time I didn’t just get the free 8 sample pack but they added 3 more samples. The 3 flavors I don’t like are the chocolate, mango chili and the unflavored one. I can’t wait to see more pregnancy videos!!❤

[@sherry8894]

I'll never forget that morning sickness! I thought it would never go away. I had it all day every day. Then as soon as I got to my second trimester it was all better!

[@grrlmom]

I was always happy for morning/afternoon/evening sickness. Meant that beta HCG count was good and high. I am so happy for you

[@LetsTalkIBD]

It's so funny - each time my doctors ask me how I'm feeling and I tell them about the morning sickness, the response is "great!" Haha! I definitely take it as reassuring :)

[@brian_ball]

OMG! Congratulations.

[@ginnytalbert]

B6 was my lifesaver for morning sickness!

[@LR-ux4fh]

I am SO freaking excited for you & Zak. You deserve this great news and something working like it should, no assistance needed! I was extremely nauseous too, thats how I knew I was pregnant one day I woke up, ate a peach, and immediately had to vomit. People said it's a good sign of a nice strong pregnancy. Unfortunately the nausea lasted 21 weeks & appetite was hard--I ate whatever I could manage to that sounded OK. Lots of saltines, ginger ale. Crunchy cheetos were one of my main cravings 2nd trimester probably related to sodium. 3rd trimester it got a lot easier for me but I know many women start to develop other pains/ligament pains at that point. Since you are missing your lower bowels it will probably be helpful for you to wear a support band

[@ButterFly-tn9dk]

Congratulations, you are “glowing” ♥

[@sarahfullerton6894]

Congratulations on your pregnancy! How exciting! 🎉

[@SweetThing]

I have a tilted uterus (like my mother before me) and so, until the uterus tilted back the way it should (with exercises given me by my dr.), I didn't get to hear my baby's heartbeat until way into my 4th month. It is harder to hear the heartbeat with a tilted uterus. Wow, was I just jazzed to finally hear my son's heartbeat! Congratulations on your impending bundle of joy, Maggie! Hugs.

[@natashaw401]

Blue dress is gorgeous

[@betharlington1447]

Prenatal vitamins can upset your tummy, especially the iron. I had to take prenatal without iron and Slow FE iron separately. Made a big difference.

[@april4657]

Agreed. I started prenatals before getting pregnant and some of them hurt my stomach just on their own. If possible, it's great to find the right one or mix beforehand

[@isoleizy]

Keeping the pregnancy secret is so hard. We let immediate family know about 10 weeks after our first scan. Then everyone at 15 weeks after our pre-anatomy scan. Not having any symptoms has made me so nervous but thankfully scans shows baby is in there.

[@Framokamc]

Is it okay if I ask how it feels to know you are pregnant? I'm nowhere close to having children since I'm 26 and I'm not ready for something like that, but at the same time sometimes I desperately wish I was 😂😂, sometimes I want to just stop BC and allow a pregnancy to happen, even though I'm still young I feel I'm too old to be a mom, I'm literally afraid to become a mom after my 30 because I feel I won't be as fertile as I'm right now or worse, to know that I can't have any... Maybe I provided tmi I'm sorry 😅😅... Anyway, congratulations ☺️

[@GretchenHawk-qd4zy]

@@Framokamc I was 29 when my first son was born and 31 with the second. I had 2 miscarriages before I got pregnant with our oldest. At first I felt a lot of the same things Maggie is feeling. Once I got through my first sonogram at 12 weeks, I was able to relax and just enjoy my pregnancy and look forward to meeting our baby. My favorite part about being pregnant was feeling the baby moving. I hope you get to feel that someday.

[@Framokamc]

@@GretchenHawk-qd4zy thank you so much for your comment ♥️, I really hope to feel the same some day, the main reason why I'm scared of both not having a chance and having a chance is as well for having hypothyroidism, I was diagnosed at 19, I would have to be incredibly careful for a possible miscarriage, with the passing of years I have accepted the possibility of never having children to the same concern, my hopes are to at least get to have one on my 30s, I don't know if by then I'll be able to have my parents for them to see a posible grandchild, but I want to be positive, thank you so much for your words, I hope for you and your children to be happy and healthy ♥️♥️

[@GretchenHawk-qd4zy]

@Framokamc I have hypothyroidism as well, but I wasn't diagnosed until I was in my early 50's. Knowing you have it would be helpful because your doctor could work with you. My boys are healthy and are 25 and 23 years old. We have been fortunate that both my husband's and my parents have been able to watch the boys grow up. I wish you the best and I'll keep you in my prayers.

[@caroleewalker5546]

Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Sooooo happy for you ❤❤

[@cherylhurst7093]

So excited for you. I have a friend who lost a lot of weight when she was pregnant. The doctor told her not to worry if the food she wants or craves isn't the healthiest, it was more. Important to eat something. Small meals seem to help with a lot of issues. My diabetes dies better with them and so does my IBS.

[@breabeyrouti7834]

I'm so happy for you

[@paulabailey9791]

Peanut butter crackers, fruit in cups- the Dole shelf stable fruit bowls, shelf stable puddings saved me when I was in my first trimester. Foods that don't have much smell are key.

[@LetsTalkIBD]

Yes!! I got a bunch of Dole pear fruit cups. They helped so much when I needed to eat fast!

[@paulabailey9791]

@@LetsTalkIBD yeah. I carried a bag with all of those items, plus plastic forks/spoons. If I got even a little hungry, I'd pop 1 or 2 of my stash open and eat. I had the What to Expect When You're Expecting book.

[@wendyg.]

For morning sickness, test out if it makes a difference when you take your vitamins. Found out after my last baby that the maternal vitamin was the culprit.

[@laurina257]

So grateful for you vlogging this. I'm currently 5 weeks so not looking forward to the nausea / sickness. Did you start bang on 6 weeks?

[@LetsTalkIBD]

It was towards the end of 5 weeks (like 5 weeks, 5 days) that I started feeling sick!

[@roseannraupp6623]

Maggie, it's a good sign to suffer nausea..as bad as that sounds, also chest tenderness is another good sign. You are a warrior dear Maggie, it will get better, just hang in there. I pray for you daily and that the precious baby you are carrying arrives healthy along with a healthy mother!! Trust in God, he's with you through it all. Zach too. 💕🩵🙏

[@lanieleigh9970]

Maggie, again I am so excited and happy for you and Zak! I still can’t help but think that maybe your issues with conceiving naturally were due to your right fallopian tube and now that it has been removed it allowed the left one to function normally and that brought about this miraculous blessing. From personal experiences with endometriosis and polycystic ovarian syndrome I know that I had tried to get pregnant and was unable to conceive until I had a cyst rupture and had to have surgery to remove a couple other cysts and they removed some endometriosis deposits at the same time and within three months I was able to conceive and gave birth to my first child 35 weeks after conception. I did have two miscarriages after that pregnancy and the doctors again did another surgery to remove a few more cysts and deposits and again conceived a month later. That pregnancy would have been twins but I experienced vanishing twins syndrome and the second baby never developed but I gave birth to my second child at 40 weeks and three days. I had one more miscarriage after that and decided to stop trying because I had two healthy children which were 18 months apart. Anyway the right tube might have been the culprit in stopping you the entire time and removing it was the solution to the problem.

[@deborahwallis8651]

Oh Maggie, I'm so excited for you! I also experienced sickness, and it got worse in the late afternoon, and awful in the evenings. But this may help you-the vitamins always made me more nauseous! So, I started to take my prenatal vitamins at night, right before going to sleep, and ate a piece of toast first. That plus 'Diclectin', really helped, and by week 16-17, I felt much better. Wishing the same for you, dear Maggie!

So happy for you! It’s crazy how things can happen sometimes. 😊 It just so happens that you are roughly as far along as my SIL! When my brother and SIL came to visit, they gave us the good news. We weren’t expecting it whatsoever as my brother has said for a long time that he didn’t want to have kids. He ended up changing his mind, and now I have another nibling on the way (our other brother and his wife have a sweet baby who just turned one!)!! I live with different chronic health issues and I’ve been using LMNT for about a year now! So good. My favourite flavour is the Watermelon Salt, which I think you said is also your favourite in your last video. 😊🍉

I wonder if a scented hand sanitiser may be helpful for the nausea? Alcohol wipes are a nope for me, but for some reason my lemon scented hand sanitiser helps my nausea. Hopefully things improve soon!
