I don’t think Colleen is “complaining” about being pregnant. She is taking us through her pregnancy journey and that’s not always rainbows and butterflies. She’s showing us the reality of pregnancy and I personally commend her, because I have days where I don’t want to get up or do a single thing and I’m not pregnant... now add in the fact that’s she’s pregnant with twins. Keep telling us your stories, symptoms, etc, and thank you for sharing your day to day with us. That in itself seems hard to do, let alone while pregnant, taking care of a toddler, and being a wife. Keep doing the dang thing, girl. You got this! 💪💕

Colleen, keep "complaining!" Because I wish I had this info when I was pregnant 22 years ago. I had horrible pelvic pain too, and had NO IDEA what it was.

In my first trimester with my son I was so incredibly nauseous, I was throwing up every 40 seconds, I lost 36 pounds in 3 weeks. I was constantly dehydrated and had to be on 3 anti nausea medications that only worked for 20 minutes at a time. Everyone loved to tell me, "when the baby gets here it'll be worth it." Like, yes of course my baby is worth this but it doesn't mean that I can't express how absolute miserable I am in this very moment. Pregnancy is SO hard, every feeling you have during your pregnancy is completely valid.

[@starsaur6664]

I won't presume to diagnose you since I am certainly not a doctor, but did your doctors mention hyperemesis gravidarum? It's like morning sickness on steroids and is quite like what you described. There's at least one huge support community of women who have dealt with it online, so if you wanted someone to talk to who gets what it's like to be so sick while pregnant or just someone to help answer some questions you still have, there's definitely resources out there for you whether you've been diagnosed or not.

The sudden headache could be TMJ pain. I hardly ever get "normal" headaches. The ones I get are intense but short-lived and often on the side of my head like where you felt yours, which is where the large muscles of your jaw attach to your skull. Another hint is that it happened while you were chewing. Plus, it wouldn't be at all surprising if you were holding a ton of tension in your jaw these days with all the extra stress and pain of pregnancy. I started getting TMJ massages a few years ago and they changed my life. I know you already have so many appointments in your schedule, but I'd highly suggest finding a massage therapist who can give you a prenatal+ TMJ massage (it's usually just a few minutes at the end of a normal massage, not a full hour on your jaw) and it could give you some relief. Hang in there, you're doing such a great job of juggling everything!

[@evvieelmore]

[@PlumberryPuppet]

My first thought was also TMJ, because of the chewing. Her pain happened higher than mine (mine is usually nearer ear).

[@kristineveltman6105]

@@PlumberryPuppet I get shooting nerve pain that runs toward my ear, but the muscle aches are up higher beside my eyes. I think I've also just learned that anytime I have pain anywhere around my head, there's a 95% chance it means I need to book another massage 😆 are you a clencher too?

[@Lulurenshaw]

I am so happy I saw your message! I've been suffering from tmj related migraines and pain and I am definitely scheduling a massage now!

[@marissadominguez103]

Yep…I thought similarly! I massage my jaw muscles regularly! I also tent to get a headache in that spot if I am going through a caffeine withdrawal. Like if I didn’t drink coffee that morning because I was busy or something!

[@jennaprovince6702]

The trigeminal nerve runs along there. It gives feeling to your forehead, cheek and chin. It's right below the temple. I have a condition called trigeminal neuralgia. It is the most painful thing I've ever experienced. But sometimes that nerve can become inflamed and cause intense pain. Jaw issues would also cause pains there. TMJ would be likely.. You might check if you clench your teeth when you sleep. Avoid hard foods and chewy stuff. It'll pass if it's just a little inflamed or the jaw is sore. If you clench your teeth get a bite guard and that will prevent the pain a bit.

[@Vocalinds]

It would make sense if it was jaw related because she was taking a bite of an apple when it happened.

[@AtlasTheAxie]

2:08 "You and I have to build it!" Melted my freaking heart 🥺🥰 the pure love Flynn has for his family is so wonderful. 💖 A true example of unconditional love. Oh Also 6:17 that use to happen to me when I was pregnant! Also durring post partum for a few weeks. I called them brain cramps! Drink more electrolytes and eat more protein!!

[@sheamagnus6826]

There a group of muscles that connect your jaw to the rest of your head and aid in chewing food. There is one of these muscles located where you said your head hurts, and since you were eating when it started hurting, you probably just over stretched it, or maybe even got a muscle cramp in it. Muscle cramps are often a symptom of dietary deficiencies, which we know you have already been working on correcting, so it is probably nothing to worry about.

[@rachelallison6651]

Love Flynn's excitement over grandpa's birthday! What a precious little boy he is growing up to be! 💜 Also, I had a thought last night. I know you can't stomach the idea of meats right now and perhaps some of these would trigger too. But girl, you were just talking about how much you've been loving devilled eggs this pregnancy. Hello protein! I also wanted to suggest seed/nut butters + milk. Almond milk has so much protein and could easily be blended into a smoothie along with some peanut butter and goodies! You also mentioned craving crab, so maybe some more of that! Tofu if it sounds good? Lots of protein there. Just some ideas for you, love. Sending so much love and prayers your way. You got this, mama! 💜💜💜 Edit to add a few more meatless ideas:: Cottage cheese/Greek yogurt Beans (esp black beans) Oats (Oatmeal, Oat Milk) Broccoli & Spinach (high protein veggies) Flax seeds (easy to sprinkle in any dish) Replacing butter with avocado is a great trick for some extra protein.

Like, Colleen, you’re the first person I’ve ever been able to see myself in. Your tendencies, aversions, problems, behaviors, etc. Match mine to a tea. Just wanted to say thank you for making me feel seen and heard because my whole life I’ve felt like a weirdo and people really never take time to understand how others brains can function in a way that makes them completely different.

[@EmDawes]

Whilst I think Colleen and myself have fairly different personalities, Colleen's discovery of her ADHD was what made me begin to research ADHD and soon I realised it made perfect sense for the issues I have struggled with throughout my life. After almost a year of seeing various psychologists, doctors and psychiatrists I have officially been diagnosed with ADHD. It has improved my life SO much, and all because of Colleen

[@SquishyBean7]

This!!!! I have PTSD and MDD (PTSD has very similar behaviors as ADHD does, I was misdiagnosed as ADHD from the time I was in 6th grade up until about a year ago!!! Imagine taking adderall for that long, feeling like shit because of it and not even knowing why you feel like that 😷) and have always functioned very differently from other people. It’s difficult and frustrating, especially when people just think you’re “weird” all of the time for acting/functioning in very odd and different ways. Not even knowing why you act in a different way can make life a hell of a lot harder too. I always watched Colleen growing up because the way she processes and explains things is very similar to the way that I do, so it always just made me feel a little more normal watching her ❤️👌🏻

The brief head pain you experienced sounds like an ice pick headache. I have a history of those, and they are SO SO painful - my eyes tear up and I am stopped dead in my tracks with whatever I was doing.

I came to say the same thing! I get them regularly, and rarely in the same spot, it's always random. Either horrible soreness like being punched, or sharp stabbing pain like someone shoved an ice pick in your head (hence the name "ice pick headache")!

I don't mean for this to sound like shade at all, but I'm unsure of how yogurt would help PGP (Pelvic Pain in Pregnancy). Yogurt has been rumored to help with things like yeast infections, but that's a whole different ball game. Since PGP remedies are usually keeping up with physical therapy and exercises that strengthen the pelvic floor. Anyway, like I said, I don't mean any negativity -- and I'm glad that it helped your mom with her pain!

Also I get the same random pains in my head all of the time and I’m not pregnant. I love watching your videos every day and don’t find them boring at all. Best of luck with the rest of your pregnancy Colleen.

Flynn is so cute and smart that it made me cry, I'm not kidding I'm actually crying rn, seeing him being so kind and sweet to his grandpa made my heart melt, he's a precious little boy ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I was only diagnosed with ADHD in April and am realizing new things that are part of my life that are a result of ADHD all the time. I REALLY appreciate you and the comment section talking about your own ADHD because it's helping me understand and feel better about my own brain. 💕💕💕

Flynn is the absolute best. I can not wait for the twins to come into the world and watch them grow into amazing little humans just like their big brother 💙💜💚

I absolutely adore your dad!! He is the sweetest, most gentle, kind soul I've ever seen. I just love him! He's such a wonderful dad and grandpa. Happy Happy Birthday Tim Ballinger!! 🎈🎂🎉❤️

[@eamonjeffrey2724]

Hi Coleen I haven’t really checking in on your channel at all since you got pregnant, and I must say I kinda got tears. Your family is an absolute delight. Been following you for years

[@madelynsaner6739]

First of all, Colleen, you’re amazing. Second of all, your sharp pain sounds possibly like temporomandibular joint pain. It can cause migraine like pain and pain when chewing. With the amount of hormones in your body, it wouldn’t be odd for it to develop during pregnancy. I’ve dislocated my jaw a few times and have pain in the same spot, but, of course, ask your doctor before coming to any conclusions!

[@sapphire6896]

I love when you post Colleen, It makes me feel like I don’t have to hide my feelings to others when you share your feelings to us. Thank you for being so inspiring! I get those random migraine feelings all the time, I’m not pregnant but I get chronic migraines, that doesn’t really help but It just reminded me of what I feel.

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

@CrazyMarioBros Sure.

My mom did not have any type of diabetes and carried my sister and I to full term. I was 7lbs 13oz and my sister was 7lbs 4oz. My mom had 15lb of baby. I have had two single pregnancies and I have no idea how she did it. You are equally amazing! You are a champ to be carrying twins.

[@dumisalengwati3068]

I've been watching Colleen for 2 years so I can't say I know too much about Tim, but from what I've seen, he's an absolutely phenomenonal grandad 😍🤗 He was more than happy to receive gifts from Flynn that were really more for Flynn (I'm sure he got proper gifts off-camera), was happy to let Flynn get the first slice of cake, and all-round, seems to be the reason why his kids nurtured their creative and expressive sides. He's a truly awesome guy. Happy Belated Birthday Timmy B! 🎂🎊🎁

VLOG TORTILLA TALK QUESTION: you talked about you and Erik moving in a vlog a while back, is this still being considered? Or is this idea to be reviewed another time? Let us know!!

[@laurbour1000]

i've been wondering this too!

[@rachelallison6651]

She has answered this, actually! She said that the pandemic + pregnancy kinda put a halt on that for now. It's still something they want, but they're not currently house hunting anymore until things are more settled.

[@WildeBunnie]

"the craving of food and not being able to eat anything else" was eyebrow raising for me.. sometimes I know I need to eat something, so I go into the kitchen to look for food, but when I find "nothing" to eat, I can end up on the floor crying, not knowing what to do. it's not so much that there's nothing to eat (maybe a small selection at times) but more-so that nothing seems like it would taste good or be satisfying. if i try to force myself to eat something i'm not hungry for, it just tastes horrible (even if at other times it's a food I enjoy), and I end up gagging while trying to eat it. is this... relatable?

[@carrie-948]

I'm not even pregnant, just have hormonal issues and this is a huge thing for me. People who have never experienced it always think it's a joke or being exaggerated but I think it's a pretty common thing during pregnancy.

[@pbpbp]

I have the same thing. I'll be starving, to the point where I would eat "anything", I walk into the kitchen, go through everything, there is always nuts, snacks, or "food" but I don't want it, and I just won't eat. When Colleen said that, it was pretty eye opening, I always called myself a "picky eater" or "bratty", but realized maybe this could be a connection, I also have other symptoms but idk. I also will sit and cry, i've gone over 24hrs only eating one thing just because of this. Same thing with breakfest, my mom will make something but i physically just can't eat it!

[@gabriellegatchalian9688]

Colleen's dad reminds me so much of my grandpas from both sides of the family. We call them "lolo" and "papa". Especially when they were singing happy birthday and he made Flynn help him blow out the candles and when they were opening gifts. They would also make our little baby cousins help them blow out the candles and open their presents. And like Colleen's dad, they would watch with the biggest smiles in their faces. Grandparents are just so precious! 💕🥺

[@melissaking3931]

[@brooker4149]

I love your pregnancy videos. Me and my husband have been together 7 years and I got pregnant and people got so mad at me for posting it after 8 weeks. They got mad at me for asking questions. They got mad at me for being scared to get the covid vaccine. I feel like I'm trapped in my room alone and at this point I love my baby but i feel like the world is against me except my husband. I didn't realize you can't be excited about a baby unless you actually give birth. Thank you for making my days a little brighter while I stay up in my room alone with no one to talk to.

[@katequarmby8716]

I honestly love when colleen talks about her pregnancy and her symptoms, it's somewhat comforting to hear and gives some insight on what pregnancy is like for people who aren't moms yet/want to be

[@ameyer1000]

Sounds like a cluster headache (also known as ice pick headache). I have a history of them and they’re AWFUL! They’re easily considered the most painful type of headache so the fact that you pushed through it shows how much pain you are in on a daily basis. I’m sorry you’re experiencing all this pain. You’re so strong!!

[@kaylacrouse7094]

I’m 23 weeks with only one and I’m soooo tired of being pregnant! The headaches and vomiting and just being emotional is a lot. How you do it all is beyond me!!

Headaches have been my one bad symptom past first trimester. I’m currently 27 weeks! They last like 3 days at a time and Tylenol doesn’t work so I can’t take anything for them . 😟 But otherwise, when they leave me be, I feel good. I’m sorry it has been rough for you!!!

I really felt that when you were talking about the random pains and sickness. I’m chronically ill, and I swear I’ll never know if I’m actually dying because I’m just like “HOLY CRAP THAT WAS THE WORST PAIN EVER” and then two seconds later I shrug and am like “eh! 🤷🏼‍♀️”
