THIRD TRIMESTER RECAP | official birth plan, thoughts on vaccines, working out, how I'm feeling!

[@melanieh1615]

I know a lot of people look down on inductions, but I've had 2 and loved them. I was able to plan ahead and know exactly when I would be done with work, plan child care for other kids, etc. I had good induction experiences. You are so right about wanting to get the baby out before any bad happens. I felt that way for the entire 3rd trimester. Congrats on your new bundle of joy!

[@brooklin_bernek]

I’m praying so hard that I make it all way to where I have to get an induction 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 also , ritual is the ONLY one I use the prenatal , symbiotic and choline ❤ game changer ❤❤❤

[@dresden6310]

Not just invasive questions, but why do complete strangers feel like its ok to touch a pregnant woman's stomach??? None of it is ok! People need to know their boundaries. Like you said, a Congrats is all that is necessary. So CONGRATS, and hope you all are doing well.

[@PaychecksPrayers]

I was looking forward to this video 🥰 I’m so excited for you and I can’t wait to hear all about your birth experience and your recovery… of course all the baby updates 🥹 Praying for you always and may God bless your beautiful bundle of love and joy 🤍

[@RachelVinn]

Thank you so much!!

[@B4577-x9d]

I’m in my first trimester & dealing with the worst nausea & vomiting. It honestly feels like the most isolating experience but I look forward to being out of the first trimester and getting to experience all the joys and new experiences with having a bump and feeling the baby. Holding onto hope that it gets better! I’m overjoyed your experience was good and that you felt so good during your pregnancy. I’m envious of women like you 😅

[@heather6404]

I feel like there is so much social media "research" that people do in scaring people away from vaccines. My daughter is going to be fully vaccinated, but it's smart to educate yourself on them and don't believe people who have "done their research". Also, talk to your trusted doctor about your concerns!

[@JessicaOliveira-lh7jo]

Couldn't agree more!

[@layray210]

Omgggg I feel that SO much in regards to strangers asking such personal questions when they see you’re pregnant! I work in surgery in the hospital and am also always around new people every day. It is awkward!

[@clarak2958]

Your confidence and firmness in the decisions you've made really shows. Good work mama

[@AbbysmiscellaneousYQR]

Congrats on the baby :) just saw the post. We have been TTC for 4 years now.

[@missvictorialea]

Rachel, you and your videos are such a light! ❤ you are so positive and real, and speak very well about controversial topics. Good for you trusting your gut and being educated. Sending love, I hope postpartum is going great and we love Jesse already!

[@vivianchoi12]

I cannot wait to hear the birth stories!!!! Wishing you a smooth recovery 🙏🙏

[@HeavyInYourArms12]

As for the C-section i didn't really want it. I was praying for a natural birth. But i had an emergency c section and without the procedure my baby boy would not be alive. So sometimes god have different plans. But believe me C-section is not easy at all. The recovery is painful and you also have a baby to take care as you recover from a serious surgery. I still feel numb in the area and i am five months postpartum.Congratulations Rachel!🎉 Enjoy your new journey as a mom ❤

[@julianneackerman8172]

I’m being induced as well in a couple days due to how the cord is attached to the placenta and honestly there is a level of comfort to it!

[@evelingmayorga7949]

Omg yes the heavy breathing I didn’t have that for my first pregnancy and with my second pregnancy I felt so dumb breathing that hard I was like what is wrong with me lol

[@meginthelife]

Praying everything went well with your induction!

[@miahjames2951]

Currently 34 weeks & 3 days pregnant and I wish I had more energy in this third trimester. This has been the worst trimester for me. Completely depleted of energy, legs burn when I walk which sucks because everyone says you should be walking the most during this trimester. I have swelling of the feet & hands, and now stretch marks that itch on my tummy due to a pregnancy rash that developed this week. I also have to be induced since I developed Gestational diabetes during pregnancy. Overall, I had no symptoms or issues throughout my whole pregnancy and I feel it all caught up to me during this last trimester. But we almost there :). Also congrats on baby! saw you did and it makes me hopeful that all this is worth it !

[@layray210]

That sounds awful I’m sorry 😔 not too much longer!! I’m currently 31 weeks and also been dealing w swelling prob since like 27 weeks

[@dymplez12]

@@layray210 oh wow I don’t know how I could’ve delt with the swelling from 27 weeks. How are you dealing with it?

[@layray210]

@@dymplez12 luckily it’s just my lower extremities that swell, so I wear compression socks as much as possible and elevate my feet at night

Two weeks ago (34 weeks), I was at work. Standing in the hallway at a daycare talking to a coworker. A woman I have never met before came up from behind me and started rubbing my bump!!! She was a total stranger. She didn’t even say anything and scuttled away. I was in total shock. lol 😅

[@shiorikampf6373]

I had to induce (unscheduled) because of my blood pressure. At first, giving birth worried me, but as soon as my daughter's health was a concern, giving birth was so much easier (and I loved my epidural).

[@Jasmine_Klein]

I was cracking up when you were saying the heavy breathing can be embarrassing haha it was so bad for me towards the end, I stayed home as much as possible 😂

[@jenniferloomis5052]

In my third trimester, I took a nap everyday until I gave birth because I was so tired in the afternoon.

What would make you say no to a vaccine?

The toxic ingredients

[@KWilliams22]

I've said no to all of them!!!

[@layray210]

@@KWilliams22 we also won’t be giving any to our son 🙂‍↔️

[@RachelVinn]

Idk! This is why I’m taking each one on its own and will make decisions as we go. Something about aluminum being in them is what I’ve read so far. I may say yes to all vaccines! I just need time to think

[@layray210]

@@RachelVinn the fact that you’re second guessing is a good sign! Always good to go with your gut after doing your own research. What really pushed me to dig deeper into research is the podcast Moms Off The Record episode #25 with Dr Paul Thomas, a pediatrician.
