    Tell me about your pregnancy!! Was it like you expected? Or totally different?

      Honeslty I haven’t had it as bad as you did. I’m barely 17 weeks. But it has been harder than I though. I’m honestly so glad you kept it real!!! I’m so tired of hearing how happy and wonderful other pregnant girls feel but the truth is… it’s hard and not all glitter like people tend to display it. Being pregnant is hard for the body and mentally too. Let’s say that! Not being always ok doesn’t make us weak or not thankful. I’m Hispanic and in my culture if you aren’t tough like our moms and grandmas were… they see you as weak. Anyway I’m done with my rant lol. Baby Goldie is beautiful!!!

      Totally wasn't what I was expecting from symptoms to finding out our baby's gender. Very little nausea when I was expecting nausea to your levels. The only food aversions I have had are eggs and roasted chicken or turkey. Then on top of that I was totally expecting to learn we were having a boy only to be told we're going to have a sweet little girl instead. No complaints by any means and I am very, very humbled that I get to carry this sweet little soul but still. Not what I was expecting.

      Currently 36 weeks! Vomiting is now a thing of a morning, some days. My pelvis and cervix are suffering. Taking iron pills for anaemia. Had a low lying placenta that has recently moved more than far enough out of the way!
      And..
      Our little boy is perfectly healthy. We can't wait to meet him soon!
      Thank you for sharing your journey with us, Karissa! ❤
      Lots of love from Brissy 😘

      I had terrible all day sickness and food aversions up until about 17 weeks. After that I felt pretty good and really loved being pregnant. It was just such a happy and exciting time. I actually really miss it. All up pregnancy was much better than I anticipated.
      Unfortunately, I had a very traumatic birth though.

      I vomited every time I ate until I was 20 weeks pregnant, I would just be vomiting in my bin at work and falling asleep on my desk 😂
      As soon as my sickness passed I got SPD and was in pelvic pain the whole time, but I had a “easy” birth so that was nice ❤️

    Omg girl, thank you so so much for this ❤️ as someone who developed cancer at 27, I ended up getting a full hysterectomy to remove it. I always knew I wasn’t going to have children in this lifetime, it wasn’t in my soul contract… but hearing your raw, authentic everything about this experience helps me feel closer to imagining what it would be like 🥲 I applaud you for your dedication to your fellow humans. Watching your journey and being able to interact (both here & IG!) has really helped me with my emotional healing process. I know you have the haters out there, but please know there are many more good ones out there, just like you 🥰 stay safe out there, and welcome to the world miss Goldie 👶🏼💖

    I’m 27.5 weeks pregnant at the age of 42. I was on the copper coil, so did not think I could get pregnant. Turns out I have a bicornuate uterus, so the coil was in one side, and baby in the other. It took a while to get used to, but I’m so happy to be having my little girl now. I can’t wait for more videos from you. Goldie is a gorgeous girl. Congrats. Xx

    I freaking love how transparent you are. I was pregnant with you (a month behind) so it was fun to feel like I wasn’t alone. I also messaged you on ig that my husband went out for the first time and I was nervous about bedtime. We had a blast. Again fun to feel like I’m going through the newborn stage with someone else.

    When I was pregnant with my daughter , her ultra sounds was abnormal as well. Something with her brain, chromosome.. they sent me to bc women’s hospital for monthly ultra sounds to monitor. They wanted to do a potentially harmful test to see if she would have Down syndrome. I refused the test as I didn’t want to take a chance on harming my daughter and I didn’t care if she had downs or not. I was in a lot of worry when pregnant and she turned out perfectly fine. They said she would have a learning disability. She’s almost 4 now and no signs of learning disability as of yet. She can count to 20. Knows her abcs. Always singing with songs on the radio.

    I am 16 weeks and still sick all day every day. People keep telling me it will get better in the second trimester, but looks like I am in it for the long haul. Yes to the shell of a person and the depression. It is horrible and nothing I ever expected. I have worked and exercised through all the sickness and that has given me something to focus on besides feeling terrible. Insane what we go through to bear children; so glad to hear that I am not alone ❤️

    Loved this so much! You wrote so much down and better prepared yourself for another baby down the road if you wished to do so that's awesome! You were strong through all that morning sickness. I was very very lucky and only felt a little nausea for a week or two and then never again after that, but man it is an experience for sure! Our bodies are pretty amazing, thank God for that. Hope you and Glen enjoy parenthood and all the blessings it comes with! Much love from Texas! Stay safe out there!

    Sounds like you had a version of hyperemesis too.

    Thank you for sharing! I was in a position where I had prenatal depression and brought it up to my doctor just to have it shut down. She said of of course you’re feeling that way, we’re in the middle of a global pandemic. Whereas realIty was that if my partner were able to attend the appointments with me, he would advocate for my significant decreased quality of life. So nauseous and feeling terrible. Anyways, thank you for sharing the ups and downs, so excited for you and Glen.

    I am sooo happy for you, Karissa!! I have been a subscriber for YEARS, and this is so cool to see you at this stage of life. I have 16 year old and 13 year old sons and it seems like a few days ago that I was where you are right now. I was so nauseous with both pregnancies from about 6 - 11 weeks. I never did throw up (thank GOD) but it was still awful. Like you, I had all day nauseousness and nothing I ate sounded good at all. I am a healthy eater and vegetables sounded like the worst idea ever. I never ate beef and still don’t, but craved burgers and canned ravioli a few times lol. I can’t wait to hear your birth story. I have always loved hearing birth stories because each one is slightly different and unique, and it’s such a miracle bringing a baby into the world. I will NEVER forget the moment I saw both of my kids for the first time (I had c-sections since they were both breech) and so I saw them over the little curtain. As I’m sure you know, you can’t even prepare for the moment when you first see your baby. It’s so crazy to think that little human has been inside you the whole time. So surreal!! Anyway, you will both be great parents. Each stage of childhood has it’s ups and downs and I liked each stage because there are positives to each one. The lack of sleep is hard in the beginning, but it will get better. Newborns are the cutest things ever so enjoy this time!!

    When the days (or nights) are really hard and they give back to you just a little like a tiny finger hold or a smile and your heart just melts, hold on to those moments! 4-5 months has definitely been my favourite progression (don’t let anyone tell you the development stages are regressions, in my mind they are progressions in to new skills) it’s so much fun!
    I will also never forget booking my babes first appointment and having to say “my son” SO WEIRD haha it still does 5 months later!

    I’m currently 35 weeks with my first baby girl! It sounds like we’ve had very very similar pregnancies. I was so insanely sick the whole first trimester. Like from week 6-15 I went to work and then when I got home, I couldn’t leave the bed. I would just sleep, groan, puke, and eat crackers. That was literally it. My second trimester was better but the acid reflux has been off the charts the whole time. And this last trimester the acid reflux is actually killing me. I’m throwing up again and you’re so right that it’s like hot lava. Like it burns my throat and I hate it. Laying down at night is the worst. I have tums everywhere in the house. I really enjoyed this video and love seeing you being a mom!

    But I thought I would handle pregnancy well too lol but I’ve never felt more off.. I felt nauseous until 3rd trimester. I wasn’t expecting to feel so forgetful and just not like myself. I was pretty depressed and bed ridden. It was definitely bitter sweet. Then came the 48 hour labour lol but wow I feel so unbelievably blessed with my little boy. Still can’t believe I’m a mom!

    Thank you for sharing such honesty on your pregnancy journey. I am currently 31 weeks pregnant with our second, a baby girl and still have “morning sickness”. It has been so debilitating and I felt so useless with my husband doing everything whilst working full time and we have a 6 year old. I really felt you when you spoke about that side of things. I’ve also had reflux with this baby (wonder if it’s a girl thing?!) and take Gaviscon for that (I’m Australian). For the nausea/vomiting I have had to resort to Ondansetron but use it very sparingly - it’s the only thing that truly helps. I was offered a c section because I had 3rd degree tear and an episiotomy with my first child, but recently found out it was only a second degree tear from the episiotomy. I cried when the midwife told me this as I’m hoping for a water birth 🤞 so I felt you when you spoke about birthing options as well. Generally speaking it’s amazing how many people can relate to you once you open up about your experience. I’m looking forward to your next videos, especially your birth. Hearing you talk about it has made me excited for my own potential water birth (albeit at our local hospital, but they have a lovely bath set up with fairy lights and a diffuser with essential oils) ☺️

      Hoping you get the water birth you dream of! And amazing news about your 2nd vs 3rd degree tear! Your body knows what to do and we are stronger than we think! Good luck! 🥰

    Oh it was incredible hearing your experience, thank you so much for sharing. I'm really not sure about whether or not i would like children it freaks me out and i still don't feel like I'm old enough haha (27 BTW) I love watching and reading pregnancy and birth stories, I just find them fascinating. I'm keen to hear more that's for sure.
    I just feel so much happiness for you Glen and Lola, I've been following your story for years and it just feels like I''m seeing an old friend experience life.

    I had the same problem with nausea during my first pregnancy with my son. It was dreadful and I started to lose weight, so I was also put on nausea medicine and it changed everything for me. I felt soooo much better. I didn’t have nausea hardly at all with my last pregnancy with my daughter.

    Watching this as I'm feeding my 2 month old. I found out I was pregnant Jan 11th (my older son's 1st birthday). Both pregnancies were extremely difficult for me. I was sick 24/7. I also suffered from prenatal depression and the hormones amplified my anxiety. I felt so guilty.... I love my boys more than anything.... but I felt so bad for my son because I couldn't play with him or do activities with him that I wanted. I have sciatica from a prior injury and that was bothering me. I'm in Minnesota. We had a horrible fire then with the winds, we got so much smoke from Canada as well. I couldn't really be outside much with my son. The smoke made me sicker. Anyway, we welcomed Brody Sept 14th via c-section. Unfortunately he had a pneumothorax and was rushed via ambulance to the NICU 80 miles away. 16hrs after my c-section, I checked out so I could be with my son and husband. Fortunately he was really strong and healed quickly. He came home a week after he was born. I think because he was yanked out of my arms, I developed PPD/PPA. It was traumatizing for me. Currently getting help for it. Congrats to you and Glen. Being a mom is so, so awesome. Love seeing my oldest interact with his little brother (20 months apart). Hoping they become besties. 💗

    I just went through one pregnancy - 5 years ago now - I forgot about the first trimester nausea and acid coming my stomach. And the bones and all.. tbh I only enjoyed the second trimester. Felt like my body was not mine, was scared of birth.. the post partum was the worst though I suffered from bad depression and the sleep deprivation was a nightmare. I decided to only have one child, I don’t see myself going through this again, the post partum was too hard on me 🙌🏻

    Loved the Vlog so much!! Thank you for sharing. ♥️
    I’m 20 weeks today and Karissa I’m feeling that situational depression so much. For the past 3 and a half weeks I’ve been pretty much immobilized with lower back pain, sciatica, tail bone pain and piriformis syndrome. It’s been the worst pain of my life. Im on heavy narcotics which is scaring me for my health and the health of the baby :( I just started seeing a naturopathic doctor that specializes in pain relief and he does chiropractic care. I am also seeing an acupuncturist, physiotherapist and getting massages. Nothing helps yet. 😔

    Ugh. I remember the Dicletin. With my first pregnancy I would literally fall asleep at work because of it (they were so good to me, bless them). Not only that, but I would go to work for 8 am, then come home at 6 pm and go straight to sleep until I had to wake up the next morning for work again - my poor husband. With my second pregnancy I pretty much couldn't take the dicletin because it made me too drowsy to take care of my 1 year old 🤦‍♀️ so I just chased him around while puking all day every day for 4 months. Do. Not. Recommend.
