I have friends who were smaller chested that didn’t use nursing bras either. But for me- as a larger chested woman- they were very helpful.

[@christinasmithart5687]

I agree with this. I’m a 36E currently and nursing bras are super helpful for me. To each there own. I wish I had little boobs 😩.

[@natalief9937]

Yes! It got very expensive for me to keep upsizing my bras. One of the best investments for pregnancy and postpartum were my nursing bras!

[@TheBiancaKay]

@@christinasmithart5687 same! I went from a 34D to a 36I during pregnancy (this was before my milk came in postpartum) regular bra's do not cut it for me

Yes, it's not just as easy as pull your bra down, that don't happen for us big chested girls.🤣

[@crystalrose4296]

I am with you guys completely! I'm a large chested woman as well, and during my pregnancy I HAD to wear one. It was a life saver and super comfy. I could not wear a regular bra, it hurt so bad. Glad I'm not alone in this.

[@rachelglass8135]

Nursing brass can help by making sure that milk can flow without any pressure from a bra that is pulled across you breast. But if you are smaller I could see how it could be easier, and if you have a very loose/stretchy.

[@skhrider7418]

The nursing bra truly depends on your body type. Those of us with really large breasts can’t physically manage without a bra that clips down 🥴 the few times I’ve tried a normal bra or sports bra it didn’t work at all and was super frustrating to try and nurse with.

[@Sam-kv8ln]

Yes!!! If she had large breasts she would fully understand the struggles when it comes to nursing without a proper nursing bra. Same thing with bathing suits. Some women aren’t comfortable having their bump out for all to see.

Oi same. No idea. Breastfed my son until a month before my daughter was born. And probably have another year of feeding her left (she’s 10months old) so guess they will get a good work out. I’m a bit scared as to what they will look like when I do wean...🎈

By my fourth pregnancy (twins!), I was ready to go as minimal as possible with pregnancy/baby stuff, too. 😉 Thank you for the fun video to enjoy while I sipped my coffee, Sarah! ☕️

[@jessicaderstine4061]

Your clothes of choice and the size of your breasts really determine whether nursing bras work or not. It's not offensive at all, it's just clearly what works for you. 💞 And to not gain weight? Enjoy that.

[@chloebesonderes7571]

Pregnant wardrobe during the Australian summer = husbands singlets and boxers cause...heat. And chafe.

[@CocotheNut]

Prayer is so helpful during pregnancy!! It's so easy to freak out over every little thing and feel really powerless (there's a lot we can do to try to have a good outcome but there's so much outside of our control), so it's a wonderful exercise in trusting God 💕

[@mchmonster]

I didn’t understand the intention here. I watch you regularly and respect your videos. But with this one, I thought your attitude with the underwear was contradictory to your previous comments saying you didn’t want to offend anyone. Then why harp on the bras and calling underwear “granny panties” and calling it a downgrade? I typically don’t comment but this felt off to me.

[@hannacamacho]

I think she meant she feels less sexy in those and prefers to feel the same way as pre bump. I am sure she didn't mean any harm like cmon we all like to make fun of things sometimes, she did not call anyone a "granny" who wears it, only she gave a "nickname" to those particular ones:)

[@Sam-kv8ln]

This entire video felt like she was talking down to people who used these things. Poking fun and laughing at certain things wasn’t needed. If she would have just made a video saying what items she didn’t use that would have been fine but she made it seem like women who do these products are insane or beneath her.

[@elizabethvidrine7936]

Lol did you just start watching? it's Sarah. She always has a bit of a tude when talking about things she feels are unnecessary. She's just being honest. I'm not offended

@@elizabethvidrine7936 I’ve been watching since the very beginning (when ivy was a baby) I think that’s why I’m so disappointed. She has changed so much and not in a good way. The more subscribers she has gotten the more fake and judgmental she has gotten. I don’t know why I waste my time watching her videos anymore, I just shake my head the entire time

[@elizabethvidrine7936]

I see where you're coming from with the sass and attitude in this video, and I think Sarah is very much aware that she can be over opinionated and come off bratty. But I honestly feel that your comment about watching her videos just to shake your head the whole time is a lot more judgmental and unkind than anything she has said in this video.

[@Ella_Vande]

As a large chested lady, a nursing bra was essential for me for nursing. I tried to get by without one, and ruined my bras. I can see how it wouldn’t be as big of a deal if you’re smaller though.

[@betsyb1374]

agreed and paired with empire style nursing tanks that have a small panel that lift up it's more modest than hiking up the shirt from the bottom (and more nursing while baby-wearing friendly)...

[@Ella_Vande]

@@betsyb1374 I wore a lot of tank tops and nursing tanks with a crop top style shirt over top. I didn’t have any nursing specific shirts. It works basically the same though. Some people call it the “two shirt method.”

[@raisingbabydiaz]

I love nursing bras, maternity and granny undies, and pregnancy pillow. These are things I didn’t use with my first that I did with my second and third and I regret not being comfy.

[@bianca4733]

No hate here, I am happy for you that everything fits all through out your pregnancy. But some women do gain more weight and buy maternity clothing because normal stuff just does not fit anymore - even sweatpants.

[@ashleym5696]

This was me! Started wearing maternity clothes 20 weeks in lol and by the end was wearing my husbands tee shirts to bed.

[@meredithmunzert1828]

[@beboy19]

I’m 22 weeks pregnant right now, as much as I want to save up on maternity clothes, I have gained weight and my usual clothes are now starting to feel tighter. Honestly all we want is comfort during pregnancy

[@arioctober]

Right! I wanted to just wear the same clothes all through my pregnancy. But that became a no-go starting at 8 weeks!!! Technically my 2nd pregnancy, so I probably got bigger faster + bloating sucks. I'm literally wearing my partner's sweatpants because nothing but dresses fit and I need pants to sleep in.

[@jordancorley9001]

Not to mention multiples! I'm pregnant with twins and I had to start wearing maternity clothing by the end of the first trimester. I have a smaller build and my belly growth was extremely rapid. Now I'm 28 weeks and outgrowing most of my maternity clothes. I may just have to wear t-shirt dresses for the next 10 weeks haha.

[@amerika779]

Exactly, I personally gain a lot of weight with my two first pregnancy’s that know being pregnant for the third time what I least want is to show my belly, sorry but love pregnancy swimsuit

[@emmastables3139]

I think it's easy to say that it's easier to just lift your shirt up to feed your baby instead of using nursing bras and tops. We need to keep in mind that we are all different shapes and sizes and not all Mummas are thin or bounce back quickly after having babies. Exposing our tummies is something alot of mums are not going to be comfortable with.

[@greenpepper-re5hh]

She said at the beginning of the video that all pregnancies and mom’s are different and she put out this disclaimer in the first few minutes of her video: “HUGE disclaimer, do not feel bad if you use any or all of the items that I happen to choose not to use” There was not one bit of judgment in anything she said, and it was constantly explained to be based on *her experience* and not at all voiced as: “because I think this is unhealthy, wrong, bad”. I find it so odd when people feel personally attacked so easily. Especially when someone like Sarah explained in this video (plainly and clearly) that the main reasons for her choices were to save money, space in her house and time. She has a whole album of videos on minimalism…which is what this video topic was on as well. Not one time did she say “those of you who wear maternity clothes are wrong, fat, unhealthy, and unfit”…that’s what you heard based upon your own insecurity. Your assumptions were not based upon anything she said.

[@jessa4282]

Thank you for this. I know she can only speak from her perspective but as an overweight pregnant mom on the verge of being plus size, it’s very disheartening to feel like yet again, the world is MADE for skinny people and like they can be naturally more minimalist, have an easy time bouncing back after baby and don’t retain weight. I know that’s a very very vague, general statement but that’s just how it feels a lot of the time.

[@fernandacampestrini89]

Thanks for this. I totally agree with you, and this video was her vision, and this is your point of view what is super nice and useful.

[@MultiFandomStayTiny]

It took me a year and a half to get my weight in check, even as a smaller person I’m not comfortable lifting my shirt because of my scars and marks because they’re still so dark and deep, looks like alien or something. Even though I eventually got smaller I’m still never going to be comfortable with it 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@bethanyhenderson8686]

Im laughing at the comment about bras being comfy. I am a DD-EEand when those girls got full of milk or larger during pregnancies, I HAD to use a nursing bra. Maybe for girls with small boobs you can find comfy bras or you can just pull them up or down. But if you've large boobs, you will either cut off circulation/flow AND it hurts like a mother and its also hard to find comfy bras in general. I was able to find nursing bras that were way better. They also make cute ones now! So it helps when you already have a boob complex to treat yourself. Also, trying to picture me just trying to shove a boob back into a cup I have pulled up or down is straight comedy when one boob is like 4 handfuls of tissue. If you're leaking and using pads or milk savers too, a nursing bra was easier to just set one in and close it too (for larger boobs). So I hope that anyone watching isn't just using this as a guide for their own pregnancies, as everyone is different and every BODY is different. xoxo

[@dravenelise5498]

Sarah: "I've never needed to buy bigger undies while pregnant." Me laughing bc my whole panties turned into thongs bc I gained over 70lbs and remember crying while buying bigger underwear. 😬

[@highpockets359]

The low-cut maternity underwear was honestly the best thing for me because they were the only type that didn't dig into my belly. Having a longer torso, it wasn't something I thought I'd need, but it was honestly such a relief when I made the switch. Give yourself permission to enjoy comfort, ladies!

[@rebeccaparsons2482]

Yeah I was like MUST BE NICE. Literally nothing fits me and I've gained 20 lbs so far. I clearly didn't win the genetics lottery like Sarah did. Haha.

[@highpockets359]

She's certainly won the genetic lottery! But she's slim because she eats chickpea salads and lots of greens. I love her for that, and I love being slim too... I just didn't love being slim enough to eat chickpea salads and work out every day. I mean, sure, nutrition and exercise are important, but you'd have to pry the chocolate chip cookies out of my cold dead hands. 🤣 Our babies are fine, in well-padded bellies, and will probably enjoy eating cookies after their veggies, too. 💕😊

Tru and co for large cups. Its the best! Get a small.or xs if you want it tight. Im a 30E and its actually tight enough around the ribs to support and gives good shape. It will be very tight at first but it loosens after a couple of wears. I have both sizes and both are good depending on how tight I want it. I hope you try it.

HI! So I have a question that’s really been on my mind lately and I was wondering if you might have an answer… I have been getting very into minimalism lately and I have done lots of things to minimize my waste. Often times I see a lot of minimalistic influencers using glass or plastic food containers for things like cereal, pasta, flower, sugar, etc., and I really wonder… is that really minimizing waste, and how? If you think about it, either way, you are wasting a box, because when you buy the product at the store, it comes in a box or bag of some sort… And I don’t mean to ask this in a bad way or anything, I’m just genuinely curious if it is really Is helping minimize waste, or if it is just an aesthetic? And if it does, how do you use them so that you are being mindful? Like… Do you take the storage boxes to the store and fill them there? I hope that my question makes sense… I really am interested in buying food storage if it means I will be helping to minimize my waste intake, (and also bc it just looks so neat and tidy), but I have been struggling to find the answer to if it actually helps or not, and if it does, how do I ensure I am using it to the best of my intention. I hope my questions make sense… thanks! Xo

Congrats 💐 I'm 15 weeks as well with my first bubba (IVF third cycle worked yay)

Congratulations :)

First she says that she doesn’t have and doesn’t need any maternity clothes because she can wear what she already has . But at the end of the video she says she needs maternity leggings , dresses for the church and maternity active wear .I don’t understand 🤨😏 and that’s her 4 baby... I bought maternity leggings and nursing bras and one dress for summer when I was pregnant for the first time and I use them now at my second pregnancy.

[@paulinacardiel8709]

Loved this video. Though I'm definitely part of the nursing bra club. I can't stand pulling down a regular or a sports bra to nurse.

[@dottyroads46]

Is it weird that I'm not pregnant but I want the sausage pillow?

[@Julia-uc7ty]

No! I have one (no children, nor pregnant) and I Loveeeeeeee it. Best sleep ever !

[@dottyroads46]

@@Julia-uc7ty i have a fracture in my spine and this looks like heaven to me

[@carrolbaskin2847]

Get at that body pillow 👏👏 you need the comfort

[@lauramathews3151]

Nope. Not even a little bit.

[@lisapitts9518]

I am 55 and I want one, I have had 2 back surgeries, this pillow may help me get comfortable at bedtime.

[@lvs6775]

People who “don’t get easily offended” getting offended 🙄 I got some Badger belly oil cause my nips were itchy af and it smells amazing. It has no artificial scents which are too strong for me since I haven’t used them in 6 years. I use olive or jojoba oil for the rest of my body. No maternity clothes cause I’m a bum and just use my honey’s tees with leggings I fold under my belly because I can’t stand anything remotely tight over my belly, and I go without a bra whenever possible. I’m definitely looking into getting that pillow.

[@tesarafrey]

I’m happy for you, but I can’t help but feel jealous, my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant and so far unsuccessful 😔 wish you a safe and joyful pregnancy 💛

[@edenbarnes1345]

I’m 31 weeks pregnant and holy guacamole, that pillow looks ridiculously comfortable. The $200-$300 price tag is a little intimidating though

[@AKASoomi]

Nursing bras can prevent any friction against the sensitive breast especially at a time when mastitis can occur, it prevents irritating the area.

[@LovingLifeasEmma]

Lol I got an ad for the wrap around pregnancy pillow while watching this

[@Lemmoti]

When you have a G cup measure to start with .. a soft bra is like no support ans sports bra can becomz really tight. If you would carry big big breasts you want to wear a wirless bra that offer enough support. On top of that lifting the bra on top of your breast is sooo unconfortable specially when they are so sore an full . So yes i am minimal in my use of pragnancy stuff but sometimes you don't have to be so quick to judge why others find those as a better option.

[@AD-tu2pc]

I totally agree with you. Nursing bras work for large chested women. Sarah’s perspective is mostly because she has small boobs.. in general in that case most women dont understand the struggles of every day life with big boobs, and specially during pregnancy and breastfeeding...

[@TheMennomilist]

I also never used nursing bras and am not a fan of it. I just lift my bra. It is easier. I had a doppler thing for like a couple months with my first one but didn't use it for the second at all. I so agree with you about underwear. I only had an exercise ball with just my first and didn't use it much. I became a minimalist when I was first pregnant in 2006, so I think going through having one of those and seeing it in the corner of the room, I was done with it. I never heard of pregnant people using tums. I never wore maternity things. . drawstring things I wore too. I did have a pair of overalls I wore for my pregnancies and then gave it to my friend who wore them for her 9 pregnancies (two did not survive) and she had two of her friends borrow it. Best thing i ever bought in pregnancy! My goodness I wish I had pregnancy pillows. . .I just used a regular pillow between my legs but it was uncomfortable. I love that you can use the pillow for nursing too. I was a boppy lover!! Man you have taught me so much in this video about the fragrance. Thank you. I am amazed you have no stretch marks after 4 kids. I had a 10 pound baby and it wasn't until I gained 45 pounds at 34 weeks that I got my first stretch mark or I would have been fine (did not get a new one for the second). You're adorable by the way. What a great personality!!

[@LucieOverloaded]

I didn't use cream, only natural oils (olive oil and coconut) with my second kiddo and I couldn't live without baths! It helped tons when I would get leg cramps or just feel overwhelmingly sore. My midwife's said Epsom salts in my bath were safe and they saved me so many times when I was too sore to function. I didn't use fragrances other then essential oil based ones (with midwife's consent and insights) mostly because I got super nauseous and bad headaches when I did use fragranced things

[@SamEveX3]

I totally agree on the nursing bras! I bought one and never use it unless im pumping.

[@sshultz]

I love that you say that you lean into prayer!

[@HopePhotoG]

THAT PILLOW! It looks so comfy!!! The pregnancy pillow i got was never comfortable...never. and takes up so much space. Also.. i have mcs as well and am so so glad to hear someone speak on the fragrances. Its so bad for us!!

[@joyrowancasey788]

Other alternatives for antacids like Tums are either tonic water or alternatively baking soda or bread soda, mix a level teaspoon in water and knock it back, it's really really salty and strong but it works in under 30 seconds. Good for heartburn and also if you get a lot of lactic acid cramps.

[@melissab2529]

“Grrrr I love it so much”😂😂 I love the enthusiasm 😊

[@karinpienaar7315]

Oh and couldn't live without hot showers or warm baths! The warm water on your back is just everything. And also maternity leggings.

[@SavvyT14]

I've been going back and watching videos from when you were pregnant with Elizabeth and I love watching this journey with baby number 4 too! You're awesome, Sarah :)

[@jellib.110]

Currently pregnant with my 5th, I agree wholeheartedly that the pregnancy and baby market is way overdone. So many products we don't need. You inspired me to try using a normal bra vs. nursing bra- I've never done that! Also, that pillow looks blissful! I've never had a maternity pillow of any kind, but I'm jonesing to DIY that sausage pillow ASAP.

[@kennedymcneil4740]

hahahaha when Sarah says I just find this product really unnecessary then you get an ad for it! loved the sass in this video, you're the absolute best Sarah love you!

[@mirandabrubaker5984]

Maybe I missed it...wondering what brand your belly band is?? That looks amazing!!🤩

[@scufflebuggy1259]

I’m pretty minimal with my babies and I love my Doppler ❤️ But I also have struggled with infertility for a long time.

[@highpockets359]

Hahahah, watching you get excited over the sausage pillow is such a mood😆 And I totally get it. They are so fantastic! ❤️

[@jasminemarie3730]

Can you do a update pregnancy workout video? I’d love to know what kind of pregnancy safe exercises you incorporate. I am currently pregnant with my 4 baby and followed your post pregnancy workout vids. 😃

[@erynyawn6703]

Agreed!! I’m on my 4th pregnancy trying to stay active. You said you were sore, and I just want to know what the workout was! :)

[@ericarogerslee7169]

Omggggg! The money I WASTED on nursing bras.... this was so helpful as I prep for pregnancy #2. Xoxo

[@greenpepper-re5hh]

Sarah: “After four kids I just know what works *for me*…so, huge disclaimer, don’t feel bad if you use any or all of these items that I do happen to not use, we’re all different and we all have different pregnancies.” So many commenters: “You’re judgmental and condescending of people who don’t make the same choices as you.” Me: 🤔 👉🏻If anyone felt any judgment from Sarah in this video, they were searching frantically for a way to be offended and likely have some serious jealousy issues that they’re not working through as well. I’m on a progesterone suppository supplement during this pregnancy and it literally causes extreme irritability…yet…I was not offended one time by this video. Try not finding fault or offense in someone who took the time out of their own life to help others out with practical tips on saving money and time.

[@bluebelleyes]

When I was thin I didn't understand what it felt like to be pregnant and heavier - I used to just wear the cheapest softest t-shirt bras and whatever clothes I wanted. Now that I'm 30 weeks pregnant and gained SO MUCH WEIGHT I can only wear maternity wear in everything. Undies have gone up several sizes, bras have gone up several sizes and need to have more structure to them (which is why I'm already wearing nursing bras because if I can wear them postpartum it saves some money), working out is too painful and exhausting most days. NONE of my previous clothes fit except some of the most oversized sweaters that I can still squeeze into. Some of the things in this video hurt. 😞

[@crazyleaf257]

Maxi skirt and dresses make me feel regal too!! ❤❤❤

[@kittycoon9143]

I waited until my midwife could pick up the heartbeat with a fetoscope to even hear the heartbeat this time which wasn’t until 21 weeks! Totally agree with what you said about praying about it and just trusting God that everything is fine💕

[@Casey73955]

Love these videos, please keep them coming! I’ve been watching your channel for a good few years now and I’m finally to a point where I have baby fever, so learning as much as I can before I get pregnant is awesome!❤️

[@elefant8160]

I wish I had a friend like Sarah!

[@jennifero.9315]

Love the fetal Doppler not for me but for my daughter and husband. They are not allowed at the ultrasounds because of covid so its cool for my daughter to connect with the baby. Sorry for my English hope it makes sense 😊

[@HitCha_K]

I just realized that I am only two weeks ahead of you! I got a sausage pillow when I was pregnant with my first who is almost 3 now and I never got rid of it, I sleep with it every night since. Best buy ever!!

[@hannfull93]

Sarah, I normally love your videos but I couldn’t even watch this one the entire way through. Seems like the bigger your platform has become, the less in touch you are with your audience. I had my first child in 2019, and I didn’t stop bleeding for a month. I’ve been breastfeeding for over a year, and nursing bras are all I wear right now. This video started off okay, then progressed into the realm of being condescending and almost disrespectful. I’m not easily offended, but like I said, I couldn’t watch this in it’s entirety. I wish you a healthy pregnancy and safe delivery, but I’m tired of the attitude that you’re superior simply because you don’t “do what every other pregnant person does”. We’re all different, and those differences should be celebrated, not mocked or belittled.

[@mixedmetaphorMeg]

Yeah, the lifetime of messages that small is better and measures your worth is so hard to overcome. I nearly cried when I bought bigger underwear during my pregnancy and have cried trying to find a nursing bra which would fit me. Tiny boobs that still fit comfortably in a normal bra sounds great. But Sarah's attitude in this video comes across really snarky.

[@greenpepper-re5hh]

First off…you’re very easily offended if someone’s personal choices for their own body and their own family offends you. Secondly and most importantly: In the first few minutes she literally said “disclaimer: If you use or don’t use the things that I have chosen not to use, no judgment. You’re not wrong. I’m just sharing my experiences.” Maybe rewind it. And slow down before flipping out.

[@betchabygollymau]

Just found out that we’re expecting 2 days ago (still have to get checked this weekend), and now I’m binge watching your videos 🎀

[@nowyounoelle]

I do use a nursing bra, but I don't buy the ones with the clasps. I love the ones that cross in the front and you pull down in the front, no plastic!
