Hey, Vaughn!!!!! You’re right, every pregnancy is completely different. With my first, I walked five miles a day and had energy left at the end of the night. With my second, I worked out every day and pretty much had no pregnancy symptoms-no morning sickness, no Braxton-Hicks, nothing. My third pregnancy, I could barely get out bed for the first trimester. I know it has to be taxing having a million different opinions on your pregnancy and lifestyle. You handle it with grace. Wishing you the safest and most beautiful delivery, of your little one.

[@glynischatman5719]

That pregnancy glow is a vibe girl...❤

[@Mermaid03_03]

I love how relaxed you are about it all. I feel that’s the best way to be because birth can be so unpredictable. With my first pregnancy I created a birth plan and never considered a c-section. I was pretty traumatized that it didn’t go as “planned”. My 2nd pregnancy was so much more relaxed and pleasant. So happy for you! Congrats!

[@MsVaughnTV]

THIS. 🫶🏾

[@cd6830]

Not pregnant, Nor trying, but I LOVE these videos! You remind me so much of myself as a mom. I have a daughter on the spectrum as well, she's a little older than Ann but I've learned so much from you over the years. Every video you put out is 100% quality, no matter what you're doing! I look forward to seeing you're family grow, you're such a beautiful spirit❤

[@JenNaturallyHypp]

I love how thorough you are in this discussion as you talk about not just the baby’s health but your health. Because ultimately if you’re not well, the baby won’t be well.

[@renees2469]

What about Anne? I would like to send something for her. Big siblings need a little something something with the coming of a new baby since they have to share mommy and daddy with a new little person. Maybe something that connects the two. 🤔

[@JonnaAlexandria]

I’m 40 years old and 8 months pregnant with my second boy (they’ll be 8 years apart 🥴). I completely understand what you mean when you say your not as big as you were with your first pregnancy but your baby is bigger. I truly appreciate you posting these weekly Q & A videos.

[@Nasiyma1]

So true about the mother's mental health. It's so overlooked.

[@labadya]

Your transparency is so refreshing. Thank you for sharing. I think there’s a huge stigma attached to having children after 40 and your videos are helping to dispel many of them. I pray that you have an abundantly healthy pregnancy and keep the videos coming❤

[@myeshamylyfe]

You not the interior decorator girl - ummm do u live in your house 😂😂😂

[@Plushdiva75]

Smoked gouda cheese sandwich with pesto, tomatoes, and bacon. I had two c-sections. Chilling with Vaughn ❤

[@Ronnie0309]

I had fibroids in my 1st pregnancy and a C-section was talked about many times. Ended up having a non-medicated natural birth….either way, praying for a safe labor/delivery

[@ShesRondaMarie]

So glad to hear that the Fibroids are shrinking because normally I hear them grow during pregnancy so excellent news. You are correct keeping a routine of what you like to do safely is important. My coworker worked out daily until she delivered and her snap back was quick so the workouts paid off for her.

[@rainthomps694]

Staying active while pregnant is so important!!!

[@NiqueNashae]

I just turned 30 and was starting to feel like my time was up for babies but you give me hope 🥹 God bless you and your family!! 🧡

[@latisha334]

Turning 30 in a couple of days and I feel the same way. 🥲

[@robinthompson7567]

I love how you graciously tell folks leave me alone, I know what I'm doing. 😂 I am taking notes.

[@MsVaughnTV]

😁 lmao

[@shanat8408]

The onesie…it just got real!

[@lm6743]

Ms. Vaughn, you have literally been my favorite creator for years!! I have always loved your content. But this one right here I had to pause and comment. I am a first time mom, 32yo, and my baby girl was born in February. I had to have a scheduled c section due to fibroids. I had tons of ultrasounds during my pregnancy to check baby girl’s growth. Ironically, a fibroid was behind my cervix and that is why they made the call for a scheduled c-section. I did not know I had fibroids until I was pregnant. I feel like they are not discussed enough. I’m so grateful you are shining a light and prayerfully yours continue to shrink and you can have a natural birth! But whatever the route, I’m praying for a happy and healthy experience for both you and baby! ❤️

[@MsVaughnTV]

Thank you so much for commenting! Yes and even though I was always afraid of “surgery” I am fully prepared for either outcome. Honestly I was kinda starting to get used to the idea of not having to push so there’s that haha!!

[@angelmiller9254]

🤰🏽 looks good on you! I pray that the rest of your journey is smooth sailing! I pray you have a happy healthy bundle of joy and speedy recovery!💖💙

[@ArukahChosen]

Great response to your questions! I swear the way you handle backlash or the negative Nancy's is amazing to me. I would have lost it especially while pregnant with some of the questions you get. I guess it all just comes with being on a platform.

[@ltarleton7527]

Absolutely loved how you responded to the inquiries. I really wish social media wasn't so critical. Sometimes it's out of concern, but others times, I question audacity. During my marathon days, I've literally saw pregnant women running half marathons. If you were active before, you can usually continue to be active. As the one subscriber stated....pregnancy is not a handicap. Thanks for sharing. You look absolutely beautiful! 💛😉

[@PepperAnnT]

That’s so awesome to know, I think it’s so cool when women continue to lift weights and workout during pregnancy. That’s a blessing honestly.

[@JenNaturallyHypp]

It’s so wild to me to that people who are not medical providers, specially her medical provider, feel compelled to give her medical advice 🤦🏾‍♀️. The internet has become too comfortable.

[@lorettacox7990]

Absolutely Awesome !!

[@iamshe3275]

Thanks for these midweek updates and q&a's. You're so kind to keep us in the know😊

[@ShortyTam]

Wish you well during this process ❤

[@tan9515]

Praying for a safe & uneventful last trimester and delivery. Take care of yourself Vaughn💙

[@danyellmariewhitford2392]

Thank you soooooo much sharing Building loving enjoying and growing your family V!!! ❤❤❤

[@clarktownsend506]

So happy to hear you and your baby are in wonderful health ❤ Blessings to you and your family 🙏🏾

[@micsop1107]

Beautiful glow! God's continued blessings to you and family!

[@chrisray803]

Love this series!!! 🤩🤩🤩

[@noelanilewis5104]

I love watching your vlogs and other videos Vaughn!! Please never stop doing them 🥰

[@remeciaoliver828]

Yes for Autism talk and you look gorgeous. Hey Little Anne💜

[@lasonyaburden8349]

You're great. You know what's best for you. I support you always❤❤❤

[@christinebryant8354]

Looking good Vaughn, I love new babies 👶🏻 ❤

[@hadlee189]

Vaughn you are glowing!!! You look sooo beautiful, keep on glowing girl, & stay blessed.

[@cassandrascott9195]

Ms Vaughn congratulations so excited for you guys. Your inspiring me to do a little “sprinkling “ of my own!!!! You’re awesome ❤

[@wineddownwednesday7122]

Such great information. Thank you.

[@liyahprints]

So excited! ❤ Gorgeous lady , You’re making pregnancy look amazing!!!!

[@Trice_Marie84]

So glad to hear the good news about your fibroids. Praying 🙏🏽 for your continued safe pregnancy, labor and delivery

[@vickiemciver718]

Hello Vaughn, pray all is well with you and the fam. I really enjoyed this vlog. Have a blessed week.❤❤❤

[@BiancaSills]

I love how active you are! I’ve said it before, but I wish I had you in my head last year to get up & be active in my pregnancy. You’re a rockstar Ms. Vaughn!

[@dunigan4225]

Sending you love ❤️ and blessing. Love the video.

[@shopper5969]

Happy Thursday!❤ I know you and hubby going to do an awesome job preparing for new baby. Keeping you and your family in my prayers❤ and wishing All Gods Blessings for y’all❤️ Thanks for sharing! ❤❤❤❤

[@Jurnjurnsvlog]

Vaughn, IMO your thinking is completely spot on! Do the things that you are physically able to and that feeds your soul. I can tell (from watching your vids for over 10 yrs) that you LOVE doing, being active, and creating. I love that and I love that you are still able to do all the things. ❤😊 I wish I was like that in my child bearing years.

[@karlenah10]

I love these videos. You are so beautiful and I’m sorry you get a lot of feedback about how you are managing your own pregnancy. But as always, you have the best attitude and as an added bonus you stay on our necks, looking gorgeous as usual 🤩 🤩 I pray your pregnancy continues to go smoothly and wishing you the best!

[@jeanettemata2638]

You look beautiful ! Looking forward to next video. Thank you for sharing your autism mom tips with us. When my son got diagnosed with autism you help me tremendously. Watching your videos have encourage and help me in so many ways. Thank you !

[@uniquelyshellz]

Hey Ms. Vaughn, again congrats on your growing family. I love ALL your videos, but especially these pregnancy videos. It's knowledgeable and fun to watch. 💕

[@angekaylee]

Im here for it. Hi beautiful!

[@MalkiaNzinga]

Keep glowing and thriving!!! Such exciting news that your fibroids are shrinking!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 A healthy mom is so clutch in this journey.

[@radiant2052]

So glad to hear you are doing well! That’s amazing the fibroids are shrinking 🎉 Thanks for another great video!

[@tawanacooke4438]

Thanks for sharing ♥️💪.. blessings to you and your beautiful family 🤗

[@myeshamylyfe]

Also just noticed your pics in dining room - looks like you’ll be adding more soon 🤗

[@tycamp4130]

Ohh wow…and this entire time I was sitting here in complete amazement as youre dominating this pregnancy. I never doubted you. So glad you never doubted yourself. Sorry you’re experiencing this.

[@urnkimshouse]

The more you know. This is awesome news Ms Vaughn❤

[@xyngchic]

You know your body. Do what’s comfortable for you. I’m super duper excited for y’all

[@mzrobie3759]

You are looking just beautiful, pregnancy agrees with you. I’m so excited for you 👏🏾.

[@lisajohnson3004]

Absolutely love this video. Thank you so much for sharing. I think a lot of people are questioning because you do more than probably most lol that’s what women have to realize that women have been having babies since the beginning of time, and if some women wanna sit around on the couch laying around, not being active, not doing what they’re passionate about that’s on them, but they cannot project that way of thinking on anyone else. I love the fact that you are so involved with your daughter your family and husband and I love the fact that you’re so active and you watch what you eat so just continue doing what you know what is best for you❤

[@charlenehicks8215]

Love your vlogs!

[@TheMuffin1983]

Congratulations I’m so shook the algorithm had us on a break I guess I had no idea but I randomly thought of you a few weeks back I just knew something was brewing So excited for you and the entire family

[@Shann62181]

Thanks for sharing ❤

[@kl9209]

Thank you for your vulnerability and transparency! I don't have children yet but I had some fears related to my age and recently learning I had a few small fibroids. There are a lot of cautionary tales but it's refreshing and encouraging to hear your experience

[@JenNaturallyHypp]

Your fibroids shrinking is amazing! God is good! Prayers for a safe delivery 🫶🏾

[@DS-hi8vf]

Vaughn, You are such an inspiration. Whenever I watch your videos I walk away inspired and ready to conquer anything. we have 3 children, my oldest is 21 and youngest is 16, I had my 16 year old when I was 40. a few months back I met your sister at the cheesecake factory, we live in the same city. I said hi to your sister and told her that I am one of your youtube subscribers. Your sweet niece and nephew came and sat at our table for a few seconds, they are the cutest!!!! .I will be praying for you, you got this!!!!

[@ObedienceOrSacrifice]

Great vlog and you look soooooo pretty TFS!

[@thesmileyeffect]

5:21 I have multiple fibroids as well and had to have regular ultrasounds up until I had to be admitted to the hospital for 2 weeks before I gave birth via C-section. I am glad that yours are not growing and impeding the growth of your baby. That is such a blessing!

[@aliciafolk6024]

I don’t have any questions, but I wanted to say that I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and I love your family. I feel like part of the family actually, girl 😊. I love your style, I’ve gotten lots of ideas from you in terms of home decor, hair & make-up products and entertaining ideas. I pray you have a smooth delivery and a healthy baby 🙏🏽. And I’m so happy to hear that your fibroids are shrinking! I don’t have them, but I have a few friends who do and it’s no joke. And keep doing you, girl. Stay active and do what you love.

[@simplyjenell5850]

No questions here but want to say I’ve been watching you since Whats In My Bag days. 😅 You have blossomed into a great woman, mom, and wife. You have always been one of my favs #teamvaughn ❤❤

[@valerie9254]

You’re going to find you such a wonderful mom and wonderful spirit and you’re a daughter ann I love that baby can’t wait to see what it is. I think it’s a boy and congratulations again because I love your home.

[@hazell1593]

Just wanted to send you hugs🤗🤗❤

[@patriciamorrow-pd5xz]

ITS A LOVELY BABY BOY. LOVE YOUR VIDEO

[@doctorkchilds]

Great video and your pregnancy glow is beautiful! I need details on the lipstick you are wearing in this video. It is the most perfect shade of red.

[@shaqwannacole9429]

Congratulations

[@louisehudson3650]

I am so excited for you and thank you for sharing the awesome baby products. They are exactly the type of products that I would love to get for my new grand baby. Here's my question. Can you share some tips on how to stay ahead of postpartum? Although my daughter has already given birth, I feel that information like that can still help her.

[@SistaSista2]

What a perfect way to tell people Mind your business. Lol Good luck to you, your baby and family. I really enjoy your videos.

[@yvonneburton6142]

❤you are such a beautiful person and I really enjoy your blogs,hey anne💜💜💜💜💜🦋

[@marciabaskin313]

Hi Vaughn how are you and family? Enjoyed the vlog have a bless and safe week 💖.

[@valerie9254]

I had to read type type so fast I typed wrong words. This is what I meant to say you’re gonna be fine. You’re such a wonderful mom and your daughter is going to love that baby can’t wait to see what it is. I think it’s a boy and I always love your home. Thank you did a wonderful job with is so beautiful and you’re such a beautiful person. love watching your channel.

[@Earthlycousin]

Hey Vaughn, I’m a new mom with 2 daughters 2 years and recent 7 weeks and I’m 28. I had seasoned moms tell me not to do stuff with both my pregnancies and I had to learn to use discernment. I ran a marathon and lifted weights throughout my pregnancy with my 7 week old. What works for one will not work for another. Since you were highly active prior to the pregnancy your going to feel fine throughout it 🎉

[@kellialexander4080]

Mrs. Vaughn, live your life sweetie. I love ALL your content with your family & friends, beauty, travel & cooking. I think you are already a WONDERFUL mom with Ann & I know that you will be amazing with the new baby😊May God continue to bless you & your family!!!! Continue to LOL = Live Out Loud!!!!!!!!!😊😊😊

[@Nikkitoney]

I enjoyed these

[@EJay00]

I had a friend who went through her first trimester of pregnancy in the police academy and passed all her PT.She was always stayed fit and She had a healthy baby. Everybody is different. have a healthy happy pregnancy!!!

[@tracietakeson]

Vaughn you are so Dope! I don’t have any children but still hope to have at least one. These videos have definitely been so informative and have given some insight on what things could be like! Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your experiences and current thoughts through your pregnancy journey! You look ABSOLUTELY beautiful and I wish you the most beautiful remain journey and healthy birth! 💞✨

[@notsoshy28]

That is such a blessing that those fibroids are shrinking n so far, congratulations! I had fibroids and had surgeries to remove them just for them to just grow back which caused me not be able to get pregnant, so heartbreaking, but it’s a reason for everything, and I am so happy for you that your able to have 2 children, your such a wonderful mom.

[@connie_comb2455]

People also must understand those who have been active prior to pregnancy 🤰🏾 can still be cleared to continue on as normal with exercise. IT’s recommended by Dr’s as long as you don’t feel extreme pain.. you’ve always been active so it’s nothing to you ❤

[@lovewins8914]

Heyyyy Vaughn!!! I’m first today💜💜💜🤗🤗 I’m so excited for you and your family 💜💜💜💜

[@theblackertheberry.]

QUESTION: Are you all considering an ASD-specific sibling-prep program for Annie-Pooh?

[@nikki2424]

Great vlog… 19:50 has cracking up and literally laughing out loud 🤣🤣🤣

[@NaturallyGlamTV]

Listen I was gifted that same boppi and I just got rid of it this year and my son is 4 LOL. He used it as a pillow but honestly I was sad to let it go. So many breast feeding/bonding memories were tied to that thing ☺Its the GOAT!

[@k_te77888]

Hi Vaughn, Great video! Looking forward to the upcoming autism topic. I’m a Behavior Analyst with my masters. I would love to hear your perspectives as a parent! Personally, I love Parent Consultation with my clients parents. Best!

[@sdorsey1443]

I have had fibroids for years and just a few years ago I had UFE. I am happy to hear your fibroids are shrinking.

[@Odalysharris]

That’s correct, a mother’s mental health is key.

[@jlyndsey1564]

You may want to look into posh peanut for some mommy and me outfits for delivery. They are pricey but very nice fabric soft and breathable. My daughter and I have modeled for them a few times and I can vouch for the brand.

[@blossomwithgrace]

Will you tell us about what you do to not get depressed. Like how did you curate such lifestyle? ❤

[@cdavis1267]

First thank you for sharing!! I’m over 40 and want to be a mom and these videos help. Will you do a maternity photo shoot for this pregnancy as well?

[@tonyaparker1969]

Praise GOD!!

[@Christine-hy3jd]

Thanks for sharing

[@sandyg.3454]

Vaughn continue your modified exercise, stretching and walking routine, this is healthy for you and baby. The only time I was concerned was when you were climbing up and down the step ladder/ ladder outside putting together the play set. I know that you know your limits now. I’m so glad that you said pregnancy is not a disability! Women had to fight that type of labeling and discrimination back in the day. I encountered it in 1981 when I was pregnant with my first child. The social mores of the day were changing. Enjoy this very special time of your life.💗

[@lisaleo3744]

I wish I had worked out during my 3 pregnancies so good for you. But low key you can gone and tell me that the baby is due on my birthday 8/19 😂. Seriously enjoy the experience and do you!

[@Bgal31052]

Loving the volg. Can you put something on your list Miss Anne may like we can get her?

[@ladyt4062]

I am a seasoned Mom of 5, and my advice is to stay active! Ourtwins came out pretty easy after staying active. Our girls are 32, 29, 27, 18, 18

[@momdukesandson9855]

As you said each woman deals with pregnancy differently. I worked until I delivered. I also commuted daily to DC from Baltimore, and walked every day. You look beautiful!
