What were some of your essentials during Pregnancy?!
I actually love and appreciate pregnancy clothing. Especially pants from the beginning were a win for me. Indeed, i never liked oversized clothing (dont care if in style or not) so i had to get new clothing. But: theres lots to be found second hand that is basically brandnew.
H&M maternity leggings are amazing! I lived in them all winter long! I wore them with oversized t-shirts. I also bought a pair of sneakers with an elastic at the ankle. I had trouble to tie my shoes at the end of my pregnancy 😂
SPECTACULAR
Me happily watching this in its entirety knowing I’m not pregnant or having kids any time soon, just because I never miss a Karissa update 😂♥️

Omygosh!
I haven't seen your videos in a little over 3 years and today for some reason I thought of you.
When I first found you I was 17 and pregnant. The first video was you talking about how lonely you felt living in Australia and for different reasons I connected with you as I also felt lonely, living alone and pretty much no friends.
Fast forward 9 years, 3 kids, and here I am 34 weeks pregnant again finding your channel. Feels like running into an old friend and catching up lol.
I'm so happy for you and Glen, I hope everything goes well.
Hi! WELCOME back :) Thanks so much for your comment, it made me smile!
Me: my kids are 9&7 with no plans of having more.
Also me: takes notes. wow these are really great suggestions. Good to know.
I absolutely loved this video! So well versed and thoughtfully put together.
Would love to hear more about your Doula!
You're going to do amazing. Congrats again you powerful woman 💕
I will forever be grateful for your time and effort in this space. ❤️
So excited for you! I can't wait to see your journey. I just had a relapse of pelvic floor pain a year after giving birth and its miserable! I wish I'd known more during pregnancy to mitigate. Unfortunately, other than doing the exercises the physio gave me, time is the only healer. Hope you have an easy labor!
I'm not even at the stage of trying for a baby, but I feel like I've spent WEEKS researching prenatal supplements- between reading Brain Health from Birth and It Starts With the Egg, and then reading the backs of a lot of prenatals, the most encompassing brand I can find is one called Needed.
Do you think you'd stick with your same prenatal in the future? Apparently having a higher dose of b6 = less nausea.
Oh, if you haven't heard of it, Elliott Berlin has a podcast called the informed pregnancy podcast- lots and lots of positive birth stories and info.
You are so beautiful. Your parents must be so proud of you. And what you have accomplished. Your Mom must be so excited to be a Grandma.
That’s such a kind thing to comment Tracee! Thank you- I appreciate it very much 💕
@@KarissaPukas have you heard of youtubers like nostalgia critic, angry video game nerd, cinema snob, film brain, obscurus lupa, linkara, phelous, nostalgia chick, todd in the shadows, and rap critic
We did baby sign language with our first and it was such a game changer! Avoided so many meltdowns early on cause he could communicate his needs with us. Will be doing the same with our baby girl that’s due in feb 🥰🥰🥰
I’m pregnant with babe #2. I love your recommendations, and love finding similarities in other mums experiences. Every product I’ve been googling if it’s available in Australia - or to find an alternative.
I had the JUMPIEST legs with my first babe. Magnesium definitely helps. Can’t wait to hear your newborn essentials 🧡
I can clearly see Xmas pics, all the fam in onesies, everything super cute :D
I cannot wait!
I'm not expecting but I loved learning all your suggestions! Your hair looks amazing also!!
Six weeks pregnant and really appreciate this video!
Thank you for sharing Karissa! Dude, taking Cara babies saved my LIFE! So worth it and the results are amazing! You’re doing amazing mama!!
I'm currently 23 weeks pregnant and I love all of your advices 😊 I love essential oils and I use them every day in diffuser, belly oil, on my skin...I take my magnesium through nettle and rooibos tea. I have a problem with urinary infections so I take crranberry capsules and tea, drink lots of water and use natural products for intimate area 😉 I love pregnancy content, please do more, like what do you eat to maintain you blood sugar low, what do you snack, baby products...
Loved this! Going to send this video to my friend pregnant with her first.
Such a helpful and informative video, Karissa. Thank you for all of your recommendations! Some new IG accounts now followed and I will be hunting down my magnesium cream for minor aches and muscle niggles in my hips. I am currently just over 38 weeks pregnant, so just waiting patiently for baby's arrival.
Best wishes you to and Glenn - you both will be amazing parents xoxo
Such a beautiful mama bear :)
Oh. How beautiful. Didn’t follow you for a while and just saw these news now. I‘m starting week 38 tomorrow with my third 🙏 hope yours already arrived safely ❤️
YEssss Schmidt’s Deodorant !!! I switched 2 years ago and I will never go back. It's the best!
I just bought online the lavender and sage deodorant thanks to you ! Always on the hunt for a good natural deodorant. You are looking amazing by the way x
I don’t have time to watch this right now.. I’m 1 week PP from having my first babies 👶🏻 👶🏻!! But I am SO excited for you to feel this love. Your heart is going to burst. You look gorgeous! 🤍🤍🤍
Congratulations 🎉 💕
Love it 💓 please make later a best and not really used products and things after birth a.k.a. haaka, nursung pillow, pacifier, bottle, nursing heating pads etc. 🙏🙏
Not in need of pregnancy content just here to support your motherhood journey. I enjoyed the skincare portion and seeing some supplements you take. Still useful information for general well being. I am going to start taking a probiotic for my gut health. Good luck to your family
Hi karissa,
I just rewatched this video because I'm finally pregnant after years of trying 🥳
I have been here with you already for 12 years and just wanted to send you some love ❤
Btw the natural deodorant is great!! I did not have any expectations and I love the lime ;)
I highly recommend consuming dates & raspberry leaf tea towards the end of your pregnancy. All the best x
omg it feels like you just announced your pregnancy yesterday and now the baby is almost here! are you planning on sharing your labor and delivery story? :)
Sun bum makes a great mineral sunscreen that goes well under makeup if you're ever in the mood to ditch the regular sunscreen! Mineral doesn't work quite as well, but skipping the hormone disrupters is a spicy option
Oh well. My pregnancy is so different! 28w today. No nausea, no water in the legs, no specific cravings, no carpal tunnel, no hair loss or grow, no mood swings, no emotional rollercoster, no nothing. If there wasn't a belly to prove it i would have nothing to show for it! Yeah i am easier exhausted and rarely my tailbone hurts when i walk to much, but that is about it for now.
YES with the pregnancy clothes. While you don’t want to purchase a whole new wardrobe, it’s essential to have SOME things that make you feel comfortable 😅 I had people telling me not to worry but I wanted a few pieces where I was actually comfortable
I love ZO! I get all mine at glo in Kelowna just getting into retinol too. Hope you’re enjoying your new home!
The best right! Good to know I can find it locally :) Thank you! We're feeling more and more at home every day!
🥰 Awwww you look amazing!!
Hi,Karissa, I hope everything is going well for you during your pregnancy and hope your unborn baby is healthy and growing and my thoughts and prayers are with you for a safe and healthy pregnancy and God bless you all and stay safe and healthy. Love 💘 so much 💘 💓
Thank you!!
@@KarissaPukas you are so welcome and thank you so much for your reply and God bless you all and stay safe and healthy. Love 💘 so much 💘 💓
New supporter big fan thank you for giving us such important information
Thank you so much! :)
Not pregnant, no experience. Just commenting for the love❤️
Oh and since you're almost at the point of giving birth anytime now: Please make sure to take a break and to settle in with baby and not care about us or what anybody in the online world might want you to do or post or ... Take your sweet time with your sweet family😚💞
The Schmidt's sensitive skin formula is awesome and it's baking soda free!
It’s fantastic hey! ☺️🙌🏼
Currently 14 weeks, so excited to see what you have for us in this video 😄
@You Tube I’m so sorry! I wasn’t able to eat much either in my first trimester. I ended up losing 6 pounds but second trimester came snd I felt tons better. Try to eat what you can and make sure to take your vitamins as well
@You Tube you’re welcome! I know it’s hard, I dealt with a lot of guilt too in the first trimester but you’re doing the best you can and baby uses your vitamin stores so you should be fine. Honestly I ate fruit to get by too! It’s full of fiber and vitamins and minerals so it’s a great snack if that’s all you can stomach. I started using unisom and B6 at night (talk to your OB about dosing) and it made a WORLD of difference!
Heartwarming
Completely watching just because it’s you!! And so happy for you and Glen and baby bear ❤️ and I thought I recognized Krista’s space!! Is she doing birth photography/support for you??
She is! :) Thank you!
You're so close 🤗!
How is this your first baby?? You are so wise and know so much (that I have had to learn from experience)
I read / listen to a LOT and invite professionals in when I can! Thanks for watching!!
You look radiant🥰
Could you make a video of essentials for baby? I’m due in December and I live in the Kelowna area as well and have no idea where to start with baby gear, crib, change table set up…etc…you name it. Help please!!!
You are so beautiful! Can’t wait to see the bebe
ALWAYS ask your doctor! But my obgyn did tell me that you can’t realllllly overdose on tums! I lived with heart burn till the second I delivered! And always had tums on me!
I’d hope that’s a given lol. 😜
SAME!! I had a huge bottle of it in my purse at all times lol
I react so bad magnesium any type too, tables on my skin it's horrible! It's in everything too!
Oh bummer! 💕
❤️
Congrats!!!💖 Did I miss what you are having?
Thank you! We are not finding out :)
So exciting you’re almost there! I just want to say about the clothing/maternity aspect. I’m on my third pregnancy now and I wish I had bought quality stuff from the start. You are going to wear the heck out of some items and repurchase every pregnancy if they aren’t good quality. Don’t shy away from ‘maternity’ specific stuff if you’re going to have more than one child. I have a $150 maternity hoody I got with my first and I still wear it and wore it in between pregnancy’s too! You’re body won’t just snap back so the clothing gets a lot of use. Just my thoughts on that haha. One last note..do.not.skimp.on.maternity.bras hahaha I breastfed my kids for min 12 months and wore whilst pregnant too so that’s going to be 5+years of maternity bra wearing.
Great tip! I agree!!
Was their b6 in your prenatal? It is important for controlling nausea , but I know sometimes it can't be helped
Apologies if you've answered this elsewhere but are you vaccinated? If so, was it before or during your pregnancy. ☺
I go in Tuesday for my scheduled c section. Starting to panic.... shit's getting real 😬
!!! Shit is getting REAL! Wishing you well 💓🤗
Good luck! I hope everything goes smoothly for you and you make a speedy recovery! 💕💕
I was like damn wonder how she got her snake plant to grow so well. Didn't realise it wasn't your house 😅
Did iron upset your stomach?
Luckily no!
I thought a massage gun was not safe during pregnancy? I have one too and have been having back & sciatic pain, but have read that it's not recommended during pregnancy. Am I wrong?
Speak to your healthcare team about it :) I'm not a doctor. Anything I mention, should obviously be cleared by your healthcare provider for you and your specific pregnancy
@@KarissaPukas My pain is on my lower back and glutes lol, so I guess I'm SOL 🥲 This pain is killer!
Watching this because I just found out I’m pregnant 😁
Congratulations!!!
I know this is random but you remind me of Hilary Duff
Karissa! Taking cara babies is a trump supporter :(, like donates thousands to the trump campaigns. Knowing your alignments and beliefs in life I know she 100% doesn’t align with you. @heysleepybaby is an INCREDIBLE account and helped me so much with my son!
Thanks!
