*Updated* Pregnancy MUST-HAVES ... from a second time mom :)

[@debbyd5729]

I was just at the thrift store (Goodwill) yesterday and they had a lot of maternity pants. If you’re not wanting to spend a lot of money, checking out your local thrift store is a to go to add to your closet! (And buying preowned is environmentally friendly!)

[@dizzlecookie]

If there's a kid to kid in your area they also carry maternity clothes! Also good to know so you can sell them there when you're done with them. 😄

[@trinitylace1101]

Thank you for this. I’m going to be 11 weeks tomorrow and I have found they don’t sell maternity anywhere 😭

[@ingridhernandez9756]

I bought all my maternity pants at thrift stores!

[@k_luna13]

Am i pregnant? No. Do I want to be someday? Also no. Did I still watch this entire video just because I love Jessica? Absolutely yes!

[@cbs41090]

Same....having kids are a big no for me but I like watching baby video lol

[@AudreyCamille97]

Same I have no plans to get pregnant ever as a lesbian 😭

[@jennifermorrison229]

I’m 67 and am enjoying this. I just love Jess.

[@rachelwinberry1271]

Same!! I will watch any Jessica video because I love her!

[@candicelbj]

I was coming here to say the exact same thing! Thank you for voicing my thoughts perfectly 🤣

[@steph4230]

I saw that vogue just did a what makeup and skin care that Phoebe aka Daphne from Bridgerton uses and I'm like, yup definitely a Jessica type video coming up. She uses a good amount of Charlotte tilbury too! Really hoping you do that as your next celebrity inspired video. She's beautiful and so are you Jess.

[@lisawargal]

Am I pregnant? Absolutely not. Thinking of becoming pregnant? Absolutely not. Am I still watching this video, taking notes and looking up prices for the ideas Jess shares? Absolutely ❤️

[@amybenish8076]

I was coming to comment the same thing…my 49 year old self looking at the title and saying yep, we must watch that ☺️

[@Dani-kh3ww]

same!

[@cindylou1108]

For my daughter I need this information. Right?

[@allibrooks1419]

i’m a mail carrier for the USPS which can get super repetitive and boring but i’ll just let your videos play while i’m delivering and it honestly makes my day so much better! your voice is so nice to listen to

[@carolinecurfman3038]

I have watched your videos for YEARS but have never related to pregnancy or mom videos because I was younger. Just found out I am pregnant with our first baby and I am so thankful for these videos. I know I can trust your opinions because I always have, you are such a treasure!

[@sarahmarie1812]

I just found out that I’m surprise pregnant with #2 and we have a 10 month old. 🤷🏻‍♀️🙀 I just survived and pregnancy and postpartum and STILL found this helpful. Haha! Thanks Jess! ❤️

[@margaretmurphy1981]

I wanted to recommend thredUP for maternity clothes. I found a lot of amazing pieces there that worked so well for me. On a slightly different topic, I just wanted to throw out my experience in case it could help anyone else. At 27 weeks, my baby had established a pretty decent movement routine. It wasn’t a ton but I knew it. One day it felt off to me- less movement. I waited until the next day (face palm) and called my doctor and they sent me to triage and about five hours later my son was born via emergency c-section. He is going to be three this year and is doing so well and I’m forever grateful for him. My point of sharing this is not to freak people out but to encourage any other pregnant folks out there to listen to their bodies and don’t hesitate to call your doctor- your intuition is real and valid. I believe Jessica had said that in a previous video so I wanted to say it again. I had no hospital bag, nothing but my purse and the clothes on my back. It’s so weird- I have no idea what labor feels like, which I was bummed about but every experience is different and all we can do is try our best.

[@dizzlecookie]

So happy everything turned out well with him!! So glad you called! For anyone worried because their baby isn't moving, one of my nurses gave me a tip after I called because I was worried about not feeling movement. Try drinking a soda. My hubby and I drove straight to Sonic for that soda, and she started moving right away when I drank it. Not sure if it's the bubbles or what, but I guess it can wake them up if they're asleep. Trust your gut though! It does not hurt to call or message your doctor's office any time you're worried. They expect you to!

[@margaretmurphy1981]

@@dizzlecookie Thank you so much! It was a 76-day NICU stay (another thing you are never expecting to experience and that no one ever really talks about- at least that is what I found). And that’s a great tip. My mom told me orange juice or something sweet. It didn’t work in my case which was another thing that pushed me in the direction of calling my doctor.

[@cenavisch8888]

Oh my gosh I'm 27 weeks as of yesterday and I can't imagine! So glad he is doing well now 🥰

[@samanthaweston5688]

I really do love that you are so open about having trouble with breastfeeding and keeping an open mind about it. It was a struggle for me and we had to supplement from the beginning. Good luck on it this time around!

[@JazzmenHarris]

I love this!! I’m pregnant with my first and just entered my second trimester so I’m trying to figure out what I will need. I always love your recommendations. Also love these sit down on the floor chat videos, I feel like we are just friends hanging out and chatting. 😂

[@divinelyengineered]

Not pregnant, but still watched this till the end. It's also a really great gift guide for pregnancy/baby showers!! Could you do a "recommendations from a mom for baby shower gifts" guide? Sometimes it's so hard to know what to get for something like that!

[@meganl751]

Such a good idea for a video idea!

[@annecopps9505]

I'm not pregnant, never have been, and at my age, I never will be. So why did I watch this whole video? Cuz it's my girl Jessie. I just really like the sound of your voice regardless of what you're talking about and I've missed you since Christmas vlogs are over.

[@tamaralynng]

Nursing tanks!! They are the best!! I wore them all the time…under a tshirt, cardigan, sweater, etc. I even slept in them sometimes; especially in the beginning when I felt like I needed more support up top and in the belly. One of my favorite things about the tanks is how much it help smooth out the lumps/bumps of my postpartum belly. I nursed my second for a year and wore one of these tanks at least 4 days a week. I these bought these from Amazon and loved them. DAISITY Women's Nursing Tank Top Cami Maternity Bra Breastfeeding Shirts

[@amandaa7592]

Personally, I LOVED my bella bands. During the early portion of pregnancy they helped me feel less squishy and afforded that extra few weeks in normal jeans. Late in pregnancy when my belly felt overly heavy, I wore it over pregnancy jeans/pants for extra support. Sometimes I even folded it in half and wore it under the bump in front and at my waist in the back--sort of like a tummy hammock. Post partum I wore it for moooooonths as it felt like comfortable support, helped me feel less squishy, and perhaps best...made me feel like I had coverage when I was nursing regardless of how good a top is, you almost always can see down into the shirt or there's reveal if you have to lift up and feed baby from underneath. Not sure if any of these would work for you, but personally, I had like, 6 of these and felt like it wasn't enough :)

[@laurasharp6838]

I have no plans to have another but I still enjoyed watching all of this! I am soooo fascinated by being one of six! Jessica sometimes mentions this but never talks in detail about it. I would LOVE to hear more about what this was like. Would your mom ever consider joining you for a video on this, too?? 😍

[@alyssarobbins1853]

Same! Not pregnant and can’t have more, but still enjoyed all of it!

[@Finzerland]

Not pregnant but love pregnancy videos to get as much advice as I can for when I am. I love love looooove your humour. Hands down giggling with you every other minute.

[@Dgorr678]

Disfruto verte feliz Jessica! Me siento feliz por tí! Dios te cuide en todo este proceso y a tu 🍼 baby

[@hizzchek]

I’m reading Expecting Better and loving it. I listened to an interview with her years and years ago and put the book on my Amazon list “just in case” - and now here I am pregnant for the first time!

[@MadysonChandel]

Watched all these pregnancy videos right when you posted them. I just found out I’m pregnant and I’m so excited!

[@Hugswmugs]

Hi Jessica! I am 38 weeks pregnant with my 5th child. I am SO exhausted! What a great video! Nice recommendations. Thank you. 😊❤🙏

[@dancer1023105]

not pregnant or planning to be like ever but love jess so therefore watching every video she posts haha

[@MarychaPadilla]

Still going to watch because you're my favorite youtuber even though I'm not pregnant and don't plan to be. Gotta be comfy all the time 😅

[@meghanntungate409]

YES ON THE ROBE 🤣 pregnant with #2 and my husband bought me a gorgeous cream barefoot dreams robe and he even said “it’ll be nice in the hospital!” And I was like “Oh no I’m not doing that! I’ll enjoy it till birth and then like 6 weeks after birth!” And he didn’t understand because he didn’t remember from last time 🤣

[@mowrydonna]

I am 58 years old, in menopause and just watched the whole video simply because it's Jessica!

[@Jmarr16]

I’ve watched tons of these videos now that I’m pregnant with my first and yours is the first one where I literally want everything you mentioned!

[@clawsmcgee]

Unfortunately I was told I would never have kids. However I love these videos to see what things are available for friends and family having kids.

[@mariahgarcia9942]

I’m so happy you talked about the congestion and sinus pressure! I’ve honestly been scared to mention it to my doctor because of COVID and I know it’s not COVID but I don’t want to be told I can’t come in. So thank you! Will be mentioning it at my next appointment

[@laurenslaughter2440]

When I was preparing my hospital bag, I bought a new nightgown. I’m not a nightgown person, but it was perfect. I changed into it after I delivered, and it made me feel a little more put together when family came versus being in the hospital gown. (It looked like I was just wearing one of my regular shirt dresses.) But because it was a gown, the nurses could still easily check me. It also had zippers on the sides for nursing so I didnt have to hike the gown all the way up and be totally exposed in case we had a guest walk in. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

[@rachelthebroken1031]

That sounds amazing! Which nightgown did you buy, if you don't mind telling?

[@RAE.ofSunshine]

Your giggle is so cute. Loved this video

[@lizchin8558]

I'm not pregnant and don't plan to have kids, but I still watched and enjoyed this - gave me some good ideas about potential gifts!

[@chiknlittle]

I’m not pregnant and don’t plan to be anytime soon, but I just appreciate your recommendations so much that I know I have to watch this. I might end up finding something I need now, even not pregnant! Lol

[@elizabethb3769]

You're way more chill this pregnancy ❤ Luckily I had my first in the 89 so no internet etc. I had no expectations during pregnancy or postpartum. If I had a question, I asked my mom (I was only 18). I had my second at 26 lol

[@stephaniesinks]

Why am I watching a maternity video!? I have 3 babies and I’m done. But awwwww I love babies and prego mommas!!! Get it Jess!!!!

[@MollyMA13]

As I’ve understood it, the prescription for morning sickness consists of B6 & the active ingredient in Unisom (doxy…), it’s just combined in 1 pill

[@UntangledTreasures]

Im way past the pregnancy train; just love Jessica!!

[@Teaspoon04]

My favorite way to use my extra long heating pad is to throw the cord over my shoulder and lay it down my back. Then put my bathrobe on top of that. Sitting at my desk all nice and toasty especially in the winter is a definite perk.

[@rachelphillips5297]

You are my comfort KZbinr, even though I have 0 plans to ever have a baby any time soon..Yes I will still watch this whole video, AND be happy for you to have find things that help you through this wonderful journey. ✨

[@hannahodell6844]

As a current breastfeeding momma (6 months in🤗) I HIGHLY recommend those pullover nursing bras! They are So so much better than the clip nursing bras

[@Cerrie88]

I have three kiddos All grown up Husband is now snipped But I watched this whole video and it was fab The things that haven’t and have changed since I was last pregnant 8 years ago is cray x

[@katiebuns94]

If you need jeans with lots of support, Blanqi is the way to go! They’re pretty expensive, but they have so much support that it’s worth it. I have a bad back and luckily didn’t experience too much back pain when I was pregnant with my first. I think the jeans are part of the reason why!

[@whatgwenloves]

I like these videos! Maybe because I'm in a similar life stage. Pregnant with baby #3 and I definitely feel more prepared for postpartum than I was when having baby #1. Didn't need to waste money buying clothing or products that never worked in the past. Can just chill and rely on the old reliables. Thanks for sharing your favs!

[@perfectlyimperfect2368]

As a woman who will never experience pregnancy,I still find videos like these super interesting. Can't hurt to know these things in case someone in my life is preggo and needing tips. Plus I can't not watch a Jess video! Lol 💜

[@sillybraebabe]

I love the Auden bras! I have also loved the Zelle’s pregnancy leggings. I got my normal pre pregnancy size (m) and it still fits me at 39 weeks and 50 pounds later

[@ASMRKay_]

Magnesium is great for sleep, muscle cramps, bowl movements, helping with migraines, lowering blood sugar, improving blood pressure, and overall mood Always ask your health care provider first but I would definitely take it daily even if you’re not pregnant.

[@macbanks6082]

Thanks for all the info! I’m 25 and this is my first pregnancy, all the resources I’ve found online have been super helpful!

[@hannahbarrow5977]

I love hearing your book recommendations for pregnancy and postpartum! Does Tyler have a favorite dad book he's read? This year we are going to start trying and he's curious what books are geared toward dads, but are as hands-on as the mom books.

[@twiztidsushi]

Good luck!!!!! I am 8 weeks along-after years of trying ❤ dreams come true 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@tpjyo]

I'm not currently pregnant and have a 1 year old but I still love these videos. 😁

[@RoxyLupitaBravo]

38 and Not pregnant .not going to ever be . But i still loved watching this because you know ..Jessica! She’s the freaking best! ❤️❤️❤️

[@lwaggoner7293]

I bought that pillow after you recommended it months ago. I freaking love it! It even helped with my hip pain because my spine is more aligned while sleeping.

[@triciagrieco]

Posted 17 seconds ago i am so EARLY!! Love you Jess!!!!! And Tyler and Gigi and BABY!!!

[@crystalpowell44]

Ok Jessica, this is how much I like watching your videos. I’m 38 have 2 kids. One 9 and one 16(who just passed her drivers permit!) so definitely no more kids in my future. BUT do I still watch this video, absolutely!

[@jessserrano3051]

Those Auden nursing bras without a clip are a MUST!!! I’m 10 months postpartum (still breastfeeding) and use them constantly.

[@fayetoday]

I’m 36.5 weeks! I wore the lulu aligns until like 30 weeks. They started rolling down like you said! I think nobody talks about this brand but Beyond Yogas maternity leggings and joggers - OMG I have been living in them. They are pretty pricey but those are the only things I’ve been wearing 30w+ and planning to wear the joggers for my going home outfit!

[@bethgramkow5225]

When I had my 3rd baby in 83 my doctor gave me a new pill for morning sickness. It was a godsend. I believe they took it off the market because it wasn't around for my 5th baby. I was so sick all the time

[@At0micAllison]

Post partum, I cannot overstate my recommendation for Latched Mama clothing. Unparalleled comfort & very cleverly designed for function. I feel cute in all my Latched Mama duds. 🤰🤱👩‍🍼

[@erinknight7953]

I have 2 Bella bands and I wore them all the way through with my second and wearing one now 2 days post-partum. I like the slight compression. Especially in the 3rd trimester, I noticed my back hurt significantly less at the end of the day on days that I wore one. I never did get one of those big pregnancy “lifting” belts as these bands were all I needed with both pregnancies.

[@furluxxy9367]

I found out I was pregnant 4 days ago. I’m almost 6 weeks… it was completely unplanned and honestly made me kinda sad at first. But now I am getting some excitement forming and have found your channel. I watched only two so far but can already tell I’m gonna love you ❤️ thank you so much for the information you put out

[@AlexisRanae]

Oh hun I get you. I was the same way when I found out I was pregnant and not the way I wanted to be.. I was sad and other feeling but now I’m going on 8 months in 2 days and I’m super excited and overwhelmed in a good way:) hope you’re pregnancy is going well!

[@myhauntingromance]

I never want to personally be pregnant but I find it still interesting. Plus its like hanging out with my big "sis," Jessica I also have to laugh cause I have chronic nausea and have been on a med thats typically for pregnant women because of it

[@haleyshirey2038]

Thank you for talking about clothes! I feel like no one talks about cute clothes!

It’s like you knew that I was looking at your channel this morning for baby must haves!!

[@Emilygregoire9]

Nursing your second baby is 1000% easier!! Even if it’s not perfect, it so much better having even just an idea of what breastfeeding entails. I think us women are way to hard on ourselves when something isn’t perfect. If baby is fed, that’s all that matters!!

[@cassie.G]

Yay! Love seeing what ppl have found that they love. Currently 41+wks with my second 🤪

The wedge pillow was the best pregnancy purchase I made!

[@crystalcrouch2017]

Not even preggo but of course I'm going to watch because I love your videos. It's funny, as soon as I read the title of the video I thought "she's going to talk about our favorite pillow" 🤔🤣 That particular heating pad is bomb too. They make one specifically for the shoulders as you mentioned, I love both of mine. Sending warm vibes from Texas.

This was wonderful! My son and his wife are having a baby due Apr 10. (I think that's close to your date). This is their first baby and have no interest in going to prenatal classes, reading books or even watching KZbin. I was a maternity nurse but retired 14 Yeats ago. The info you have is current and I find it very helpful. I'll be able to pass bits on to them. You're also very entertaining. ❤️

Still in the beginning of the video, but the first bras you showed, I lived in those! (Not that brand, but same thing). So convenient! And Nursing Queen, and online shop, I have a hoodie and two sweatshirts for nursing that have the zippers. My kiddo is three and I still wear all of them all the time!! I feel like they’re flattering on those days where nothing quite fits just right.

[@melissaf.568]

Also, watching this even though I have two crazy boys and will not be having more babies 🤷🏻‍♀️. Just love your videos!

[@anmhirigreenriver6708]

Does she still reccomends regular alcohol during pregnancy? Because that part was so very much debunked over her cherry picking of studies to support her habit. depts.washington.edu/fasdpn/pdfs/astley-oster2013.pdf The book is dangerous.

The Auden bras are AMAZING! I stopped using the clip nursing bras unless I want to wear padding. I bought a few of the Auden ones. But Walmart’s Time and True brand also sells the same version in a 2 pack with padding for a few dollars cheaper. Seriously I’ve stocked up on these kinds of nursing bras simply for the convenience of them.
