Just found out my wife is pregnant for the first time so instantly searched ‘tips for new dads’ and the videos made by the men are just abysmal, basically just saying “if she wants food get her food and tell her she’s skinny” I’ve learnt more from this one video from a mother than hours of dad advice. Thank you!
So great to hear! And I love that you’re looking up information to support her!!
Congratulations to you and your wife!! 🎊🎉🎊🥰🥰
I love the fact that you even thought of that. ❤ i wish you a happy healthy baby
I’m about 5 weeks right now and I’m so glad that I found your channel! I’m currently a mess trying to figure everything out but videos like this make me feel better
Ashley Tisdale, is that you?!
How is your pregnancy going? Xx
@Lexi Crosbie in the same exact boat
Did you have your baby congratulations!
@lexi crosbie I am the same as you. Five weeks and two days. I am also very confused. Do's and don'ts
"I'll just GOOGLE everything that I can find until I can come into the doctor's office..."
Yup
It’s the worst
I just learned yesterday morning that I'm pregnant; this video is so comforting and funny. Thank You for posting it means a lot 🥰💖💞💕
“Your feelings are valid emotions exaggerated” that’s HUGE I was so embarrassed for being so emotional even though my reasons were valid! also would love to know the brand of the blocky leggings?
Blanqi! www.blanqi.com/
@@heyshayla thank you!
@@Emivibes96 of course!
In my language feelings and emotions are the same word.... now what? 😝
I dunno if any other lady here has experienced really painful bloating and gas in early pregnancy, but I had that for about ten days and it did a number on me physically. Now I've graduated to constipation and hemorrhoids.
Ugh man. Pregnancy can be so tough, but always changing!
Ive had the gas and when it releases the cramps ease up
Child's pose before bed. Gentle stretching. Also, vit D and a probiotic. Don't lay down right after eating! Super important! Go for a walk first. This is hard cuz I know u are sooooo tired.
Always eat pickles or drink pickle juice for gas. Works wonders
I so appreciate your “bedside manner”! The way you explain things is the best-funny and calming at the same time.
Thank you so much for being so real and not sugercoating anything! This video has helped me a lot
Currently 5wks beyond excited but full of anxiety and swearing thanks for the video helped so much to calm down
Glad to see I’m right on track at 5 weeks waiting for my Dr appointment. Thank you for this video! Subscribed.
I LOVE this video - so relatable!💖 I’m 12 weeks now so going in to my second trimester soon but wish I found you sooner. I’m from the UK and had the exact same experience - pretty much left on my own until the first scan which is around 12 weeks. I googled and checked pregnancy apps non stop as I needed something to satisfy my curiosity. I felt so relieved when we had the first scan and saw a lil buba and a heartbeat
Perfect timing! I’m 6 weeks and I was flabbergasted that my first appointment is at 10 weeks.
EXACTLY!!! And I love the word flabbergasted😂🙌
not pregnant or trying to get pregnant but I find your videos so chill and informative and not to mention entertaining.
Shayla you’re my fav!!! 8 weeks pregnant and been watching your channel even before. Keep rocking girl!
🙌🙌❤️❤️❤️ congratulations!
Love your videos! You’re freaking hilarious and so helpful with all the information you talk about 🙌
Shayla, your videos have been SOOO helpful for me! I'm not a mom yet, but my husband and I want to start very soon, so I've been watching and listening to ALL the mom-ing things. And you and I are SO similar in personality, and even if our life journeys! So it's just great to listen to your videos and podcast, and just feel like I'm listening to a friend. Keep it up!
But DUDE I _really really really really_ hope I don't have bad "morning sickness". I HATE being nauseus. Freaking hate it. I know some women don't experience it that much, so I'm crossing all my fingers and toes!
“That’s my baby not yours” thank you for that because I almost tripped trying to save my child that I thought fell and in fact it was your baby 😂😂😂
😂😂😂🙌
I’m 8 weeks pregnant and your videos are just all SO 👏🏻 HELPFUL 👏🏻
Thank you, thank you, thank you
Congratulations!!!
Just found out am pregnant two weeks gone, so happy I found your channel
Aw her growling is adorable!
Just found out I’m pregnant, happy you’re here for me 🧡
Yay!!!! Congratulations and of course!! I’ve got you for all the crunchy granola goods
Been watching your videos from the beginning of your baby journey! We have the same views on all things baby! I agree with everything you have to say💖 You're so realistic.
😍😍😍
7 weeks pregnant and i appreciate your videos.
Haha so cool, did you notice your baby is repeating your target word "exciting" at 11:12? She is trying to say "exciting" too. She's got the vowels and the rhythm!
Anyway loving your videos! I'm not pregnant yet but we just got married and I'm looking into hypnobirthing and all that natural stuff to know what I'm getting into before I get pregnant.
You rock Shayla! Take care
You rock! END OF STORY!
As someone with some medical knowledge, (vet med). An ultrasound works like a sonar, it sends sound waves and they bounce off of the baby/whatever the doctor is trying to look at (you can change the depth of the ultrasound by changing the frequency of the sound waves). There is absolutely no risks to the baby (or mom). Just thought I would let you know😋
I knew that it still makes me feel weird... but likely because I DONT have the medical background 😂😂
THANK YOU!! I came right to the comments to make sure someone had already said that ultrasounds are totally safe
I’m 5’0 and started to show at like 10 weeks with my first baby. I also imagine my uterus is tilted forward. It’s so cool how everyone’s body is SO different ❤️
I think so too!!
If this isnt the realist video I've seen yet 😅 love it! Thank you ^_^
Is so interesting for me how medical things and behavior change from each country, here in Brazil you see the doctor every month when your pregnant, ultrasond included, and they tell to make an appointment as soon as you find out and they shower you with exams, they do that even at free care. Also here we bath the baby everyday, some hospitals wait the first 24 h but most places don't, a plus is that cradle cap is not common at all here.
This video is amazing, thank you !
The humming was relaxing. Thanks for sharing. This was great
This came just in time! Thanks so much! BTW you're the only other person I know that says ASAP Rocky 🤙
I say that every time! 🤣
Thanks Shayla!
Girl, I love your content, bet the way the camera goes in and out so much makes me super nauseous/motion sick. I listen, but can’t watch, which is super sad cause you also show really cool things! Not sure anyone else has this issue or if it’s just me 😅 have a great day!
Gahh sorry! Haha
So the whole thing about when you go in to see your OB is variable and very doctor preference/practice specific. Some docs are exactly as Shayla described and they don't want to see you until you're 8-12 weeks along. But lots of other docs will have you come in around 6-7 weeks, especially if you have a history of early miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy or if you're considered high risk. They may trend your hCG and progesterone levels (or possibly not), and they may do an ultrasound to check for yoke sake/fetal pole/early heartbeat which appears between 5-7 weeks. Early ultrasounds will be done vaginally since transabdominal ultrasound probes often can't see baby well or at all until 10-12 weeks. ALSO you may have more transvaginal ultrasounds later in your pregnancy (2nd trimester) if there is concern for short or incompetent cervix; the length and closure of the cervix can be measured transabdominal, but the best measurements come from transvaginal readings. How often you have ultrasounds is dependent on your age and risk factors, as well as physician preference. I've had friends that had 3 or 4 ultrasounds their entire pregnancy but fetal heart tones (FHT) should be checked at every appointment once you hit the second trimester and it's possible to doppler FHT. My friends and I that are advanced/geriatric (I know...it's so insulting) maternal age have them every 4 weeks, and if you are referred to the high risk OB you may end up having an ultrasound every 2 weeks depending. There's a lot of variability. Around 11-13 weeks, they will often do an ultrasound to check nuchal translucency (this can indicate a myriad of possible disorders). Then around 20 weeks they will do an anatomy scan to check the development of baby's organs.
And the pregnancy symptoms you may experience...y'all... there are so many, and some of them are really off the wall. If I had a youtube channel I would do a video on this because I was so blindsided by the symptoms I've experienced.
Thank you for all the useful information 👏
Your bebe is so cuuuuute😍
Of course!! I hope it was helpful, thank you!
Dr. Scheduled me an early ultrasound at 6 weeks and 3 days… I’m very nervous because of my history of reoccurring miscarriages. I’m worried that we won’t see much this early but I guess it’s good to check to make sure everything is where it should be. Fingers crossed it goes well!! Just 2 days till the US🤞🏻🤞🏻
How was it????
@@Vlynlow09 it went well!! I’m now 24 weeks, at the first ultrasound we saw the yolk sac and the baby connected to that, and the gestational sac. Everything has been going smoothly other than the morning sickness😂
I just found your channel and I love your personality! I’m 6 weeks and have no idea about anything 😀
Welcome to information overload haha I also have a podcast hey Shayla if you want longer form content to listen to!
Heyshayla.com/podcast
The accuracy from beginning to end cracked me up!! 🤣🤣 19 weeks now, first pregnancy and it’s not what I expected
Did your baby arrive???
@@dharmadharma3960 yes! At 36 weeks +3
I'm like barely almost 4 weeks. I'm very in tune with my body.
I knew something was up when I had two vodka and sunny d drinks and felt absolutely sick. Then it happened AGAIN . This time it was two super weak tequila drinks at a restaurant and immediately threw up my entire dinner….. the drinks were literally the smallest thing ever and drowned in juice. It was more fruit juice and ice than it was tequila and i projectile vomited into the toilet. Yesterday morning my husband told me I seem off and insisted I take a pregnancy test. I considered it the day before and brushed it off because I’ve taken over 40 strip tests in 2 months and it has been nothing and my periods are always either one day early or late. This time it was one day late yesterday. In under 2 minutes, my pregmate strip test had two extremely dark solid lines and I nearly shit a brick.
Now we’re just stock piling money, and figuring out how we’re going to temporarily make our 2 bedroom apartment work out.
I have watched so many of these videos now and it is so interesting to me how big the cultural difference is to examinations when it comes to this...... In my country, you visit doctor every 2, max 3 weeks! Each time they measure how much you grow, the baby grow, the heart rate change, whether you need to change your nutrition...in case you gain too much weight that becomes unhealthy and.... it feels everything but not left on your own. Good job to all of you who had to self-navigate yourselves in this time.
I'm 6 weeks today. You were in my Recommendations. xx
thanks for the video shayla!! i am 22 weeks along!
Congratulations!!!
@@heyshayla thank you!!!
I've had two pregnancy losses, and now i'm on my third pregnancy😊
I'm 2 and a 1/2 to 3 weeks in.
I feel optimistic 🫶🏾
I'm on my second pregnancy, first pregnancy was a miscarriage. Currently 14 weeks and I'm so excited. From one mom to be to another, it gets better. Let's both have our miracle babies and hope for a healthy pregnancy. ❤
I hope it worked out, did it??
@@firefightingdrumstick yes 🤗 I'm 33 weeks pregnant.
@@annectialee3965 OMG CONGRATS that’s so exciting 🥰🥰 I’m still coping with the news that I’m pregnant. It doesn’t feel like much other than everyone is super fricking irritating today.
@@annectialee3965yay congrats mama!
Just found you, and you are fantastic! I love your content, and grounded, easy-going personality.
Yay thank you and welcome!
Omg I love you hahaha your hilarious 😂😂😂 I'm 6 weeks going to look up channelmum now!
You are a hoot 🤣🤣🤣 so animated I love it!
We went through Natera for our blood tests they were awesome. Non invasive but they are expensive! Make sure your insurance can cover it!
We did a blood test and we got the wrong envelope! They told us we were having a boy 😂
I did a whole video on it
I just started watching your videos, and I love the delivery and that straight forward, get to the point way of things. I also appreciate the sarcasm and the general humor. BUT it wasn’t until @11:29 that I said “you know what, this lady’s alright. Subscribe!” I’m not even pregnant and I don’t have kids. 🤷🏾♀️
Hahahaha this makes my day 😂🙌
Yeah def did not expect to get a camera shoved up my cooter when I went to see it lol I was like wow no dinner date before or anything?
This is so real lmao thank you!!! I’m 5 weeks today
I’m not pregnant yet but when the crying started and you said “that’s my baby not yours” I knew I’d appreciate that when I watch this again in the future. 😂😂
Hahahaha
Unless you're infertile. Then the wand becomes the most action you see in awhile so you start calling that wand your next date with Wanda. Infertility means you get to know all of the things about pregnancy, how to get pregnant (both in bed, in a doctors office via IUI and in a lab via IVF) and all of the other things that go into it. I wish I was clueless. 😭
My thoughts exactly❤
I’m so happy i just found out yesterday and luckily i have an appointment for next Tuesday. I’m just lucky i guess I’m far enough along then
4+2 here and I’ve had allergy/cold symptoms basically since conception day that have turned into a full upper respiratory infection. Apparently you can have pregnancy rhinitis (stuffy nose) for a long time, or you can pick up a virus really easily thanks to the immune system changes. One of my husband’s coworkers told him she was sick like this for 2 weeks at the start of both her pregnancies!
I just hope it gets better soon so I’m not coughing up crud *and* throwing up…😳
I just found out a little over a week ago I’m pregnant. This is my 2nd time around but it’s been 13 yrs since my last child.!
IM CRACKING UP!!!! This was me making my appointment the morning after taking my test! I am seriously laughing so hard 😂
Just found out I’m pregnant following any advice for a successful pregnancy 🤰🏻
Probably not...you're probably not going to do that.
Girl yes !!! I love this girl chat style. You make pretty overwhelming topics fun and really interesting.
Also I love the whole I'm a little bit more granola, montessori ...mmm hippi.
Me. I'm like just trying to investigate and understand my options.
Please....maybe ..sort of yes become a doula or midwife..I have a whole five year old, I have most certainly been pregnant before and this was SO HELPFUL
haha I'm so glad this was helpful!! Omg I would LOVE to be a doula or midwife!!
Oh wow!! I'm glad this was helpful for you and you've been through it before!!!
Wow this is amazing
As soon as you said Asap Rocky I subscribed. I always say that. Lol
So happy I found this I’m 5 weeks now 😢
I only got an ultrasound at 20 weeks. I was like welllll hope they don’t surprise me and tell me it’s twins when I’m halfway through 😅
Me and my girlfriend are expecting in 8 months, really scared / excited / nervous/ every word in the dictionary but just want to say this video calmed our nerves a bit thank for this video. Fun fact my girlfriend name is Shayla so we felt this video was meant for us 😂
I appreciated the note on showing earlier if you are shorter, I'm short with a short torso and around 8 weeks was already working my way into pregnancy leggings. The body proportions make such a difference. On the plus side I apparently come from a line of females that only get mild pregnancy nausea.
Oh yeah every body and every pregnancy is wildly different!
Congrats!!!
I'm not pregnant but im doing obsessive research before I try. 😅
hello, I'm sure you won't see this given the fact that this video is nearly a year old but I wanted to site this video on a paper I'm working on for expectations while pregnant and I was wondering if you wanted me to site you as Hay Shayla or just Shayla? Thanks for the wonderful video by the way it is very helpful in my research.
March 2020 I was told that I had a large fibroid in my uterus and March 2021 I actually had it removed. It was big enough and in a position where it caused infertility. Now I have to wait till the end of September to try getting pregnant which I'm excited about I really hope that it doesn't take me too long but who knows. I actually had my first vaginal ultrasound when I switched to OBGYNs because she needed to see if I was a candidate for a laparoscopic removal which I was but it was too big so I ended up having to have major surgery to cut open my uterus to remove it. Of course this means I will need a C-section when I do get pregnant but I'm okay with that.
Thanks for the information at the end about miscarriage and around what time most ppl tell about the pregnancy. That’s really useful. As for the rest, I always get surprised when ppl don’t know theses things. I’m 30, planning to have kids soon. But like that’s common info-no? Or did I waste my 20’s on learning about the wrong stuff? 🤦♀️
She’s such a cutie, looks just like daddy
Lol the way you speak about all this is just right 😂
high mercury fish are the big ones, because they not only absorve it from the water but also from the smaller fish they it... the smaller the fish, the less mercury they have. So no Tuna for example. Go for fish that could fit in your plate and you should be ok (like Merlusa/Hake)
Hahaha when she was crying and you said it's my baby not yours. You got me🤣
5 months preggo & I fell asleep on my back last night which I never do and woke up and my diaphragm was sore lol 😭 and felt like the blood wasn’t flowing correctly ugh
My first two pregnancies I was soooo 🤢 all the time. Third pregnancy barely sick at all which was a nice change.
I also had a BUNCH of ultrasounds because I was high risk. Second pregnancy less but still quite a few. Third pregnancy I've barely had any. I've had 3... that's it
Can you eat spicy food I don’t want to do it everyday but every once in a while
I literally turned 20 in November and found out i have a bunch of health issues in july and today i took a test after puking for three days and im idk what to do. Im in college, how do i tell my parents i feel like i just let everyone down. Im so distraught please send advice. I told my mom jokingly that i wished i was pregnant two days ago because i love babies but i didn’t think it was happening. What do i do
What is the name of the brand of leggings you said? I couldn’t hear 😭
Great video!! I’m not pregnant but just love learning about it lol
Blankie blonky something like they
Blanqi leggings!!
I had a little cry the other day because the duck was standing alone away from other ducks 😄
hahah this is so relatable. Thanks for making me laugh out loud 😂
I had a cry because our dog wasn't able to open the bedroom door at night when he was trying to cuddle.. still didn't get up to let him in 😅
thank you for your video,when i went my firs ob appoitment they did vaginal ultrasaund and my friends fricked me out..they kept saying no “you cant do that kind of ultrasaund😒😒”
“That’s my baby not yours” 😂 haha I so appreciate this comment because I ALWAYS think oh shit my baby is awake
Ween I finley got my scan I was 15 weeks like they made me with way to long cos have I had to ges how far along I was I toley got it rong but I'm 33 weeks now soo clows cart wayt to meet my little one
What?
My sister found out she’s pregnant but she doesn’t remember her last period what should she do
Go to the doctor, they’ll do an initial ultrasound. The sooner she goes in the more accurate
Hey Shayla, I love your videos. Just a short notice: Check the title again, I don´t think its grammatically correct. :)
😅thank you!!!🙌🙌
Yep, I am short and I started showing at 20weeks. Like oh HELLO baby😂
LMAO your phone call to the doctor was so relatable. I found out I'm pregnant with my first on December 26th. Eeeeeep
Yes! I found out I was pregnant 11/17 & I called thinking “ok, great, I’m going to say I got a positive on my pregnancy test & they’re going to schedule me for an appointment next week.” Nope! They were like “congratulations, we’ll see you at your 10th week on Dec 21st.” My mind was 🤯 & then like she said I just googled everything until I got to my appointment lol
Congratulations btw! Hopefully you can get in sooner at your 6th or 8th week.
@@tryingtofindmyNICHE aww thank you! Congratulations to you as well! My first appointment is the 12th of January haha so a little longer to go!
How did your appointment go? What all did they do?
Keely Ann Thank you! The 12th is my second appointment, how funny! My first appointment went well. We discussed my medical history, I was able to ask some of the questions that Dr. Google just couldn’t answer for me haha, my ob/gyn did a breast exam... you are usually supposed to get a Pap smear as well but I had just had one recently so we skipped it, but definitely expect that at your appointment. Then we did the ultrasound!! So amazing! First she went over my belly and you could see Baby but so small, almost like a smudge so she decided to do the vaginal ultrasound & yeah it’s a wand that they stick up there haha but with that we could really see Baby. She briefly let us listen to the heartbeat which was 171 which she said was good. And then she measured baby to double check my due date. And then lastly I got blood work done.
In the panel the two things that really stuck out to me was my blood levels (blood count, hct, hgb... which can let you know if you’re possibly anemic & I learned that I am borderline so I’m currently taking an iron supplement in addition to my prenatal) and my thyroid result. Fortunately, my thyroid is doing alright! And they also took a urine sample. With the blood test this is routine for everyone but they also checked for STDs. And I think that’s it 🤔
Sorry for talking your ear off! Haha I hope your appointment goes well!!!
@@tryingtofindmyNICHE Oh wow! What a coincidence! Haha
Thank you for the information!! This is really helpful, I appreciate it 🤗🤗
I'm a bit nervous about the wand thing 🥴😳 but I have a feeling ima need to get over all that real soon.
Were you able to bring a support person with you? I know depending on where you are, some places don't allow it. Thankfully I was told I can!
Keely Ann Have you ever had a pelvic exam where they inserted a speculum? It’s like this duckbill looking thing that’s plastic. Everytime I’ve had a Pap smear they bust that thing out & that’s really what the wand felt like. A little awkward, a little uncomfortable when she was moving it around to look at my ovaries, but not painful at all!! She also slathered a lot of lubricant on it before inserting, so don’t worry :)
I was allowed one support person so my partner came with me! The only bummer is that we learned that he can’t come to anymore appointments until my 36th week. As you said, it’s different everywhere, I’m in the Pacific Northwest, so hopefully where you are you can have your support person for all of your appointments. I just wanted to mention that though because naturally we assumed he’d be able to go to all of my appointments since he was allowed at the first, but looks like (depending on the facility) that’s not always the case.
What is the book she mentioned?
So many books probably ina Mays guide to child birth
What probiotics did tou take?
Heyshayla.com/lovebugyt and I have a code Heyshayla 💃💃
Hey Shayla, tell me the company if your leggins again!
Blanqi!
@@heyshayla THANKS GIRL!!
LMFAO that’s me 😂 @2:00
HAHAHAH Literally verbatim how my call to the dr was lol
Hahaha
The 2:40 mark killed me. Thank you 🤣❤
Whole video was extremely helpful and thank you for being yourself and staying light hearted. I really appreciate this during TTC!!!❤❤❤
Just signed up for the probiotic, but I’m feeling kinda silly that I waited til 29 weeks having had intense nausea, heartburn, and constipation all pregnancy! I like the ingredients in their postnatal so I ordered a bottle of it too for when the time comes! Thanks for the education.
Of course!!
Don’t feel silly, you don’t know until you know!
When she said “okay great I’m day 1 of pregnant” I felt that 🤣
Lmao! Google everything all the time YES!
Well shit, I'm not even pregnant and this is hilariously informative. I love your humour! Subscribed.
Edit: I knew you looked familiar, I used to watch your travel vlogs lol. Didn't know you'd had a baby - congrats!!
Hahahaha thank you! Bahha I love this
@@heyshayla I'm a preschool teacher (obviously not using that language around the wee ones hehe), so we have a similiar childcare philosophy and so I think that's why your videos were recommended (seperate to your travel ones - who the hell can figure out CZcams algorithms). Either way I ain't mad, it's like my travel and teaching life collided. I think you're fab, keep on keeping it real - I may need your advice in the future xx
How’d I miss this one? 😑
I thought I might have been pregnant got tested on the 4th to confirm don't find out how far along i am till the 18th. Ahhh I just wanna know!
