PREGNANT AFTER 15 YEARS OF INFERTILITY - Q&A
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 06. 2020
- Hey guys!! I cannot even believe this is a video that I am able to film, today is a Q&A about finally getting pregnant after YEARS of infertility!!! I am going to answer all of your frequently asked questions, and I will timestamp them as well below in case you want to skip around.
I sort of answer things here and there throughout, discuss my symptoms, how i've been feeling mentally, coming to terms with never being a mother and then having to come to terms with the fact that I AM going to be a mom. This has been an absolute emotional rollercoaster, and getting to the point where I can even begin to accept that I am going to have a baby.. we are going to be parents.. is the hardest thing I can explain. I KNEW in my heart and soul I would NEVER get pregnant, so this is a shock to say the absolute least.
I know when I am speaking about this, shock is the main emotion I convey - But DO KNOW that we are SO SO SO unbelievably happy, elated & SO excited. I think when we can FINALLY see that the baby is growing, happy and healthy (at the 20 week ultrasound) I will be able to be FULLY relaxed and be able to accept that this is FULLY HAPPENING. Right now, I still have a LOT of anxiety about my body failing me and causing problems for the baby, so every time I see or hear the baby, its like music to my ears!
I have such bad health related anxiety, that I was SO certain something might go wrong. Before the first ultrasound, I was certain it would either be ectopic or no heartbeat - I was wrong. Before we heard the heartbeat, I was certain they wouldn't find it - they did. When they did the genetic testing to see if I was a carrier of something that could be passed on to the baby, I was SURE I would be - and I wasn't. My anxiety stops me from fully enjoying anything, because of the fear of the unknown - but I am now trying to FULLY allow myself to enjoy and embrace this pregnancy, and that is an unbelievable and amazing feeling.
I am 16 weeks pregnant my weeks turn over on Saturdays, the day I filmed this video
Everything else is answered in the video!

First off, you are fucking glowing! Secondly I am so over the moon happy for you and Zach, you guys are going to be such amazing parents 💜💜💜💜
We love you girl! I am so so happy for you guys. You will be amazing parents.🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰
Haven’t even seen it yet and I know already that I’m gonna cry !!! God bless you guys and your baby 👶🏻
When I was pregnant with girls, I wanted Zero sex.
When I was pregnant with my son, I could have had sex in church. My husband was pretty happy with that side effect 😂 So, this may give you some insight into bb gender 😍
Again prayers for healthy pregnancy and delivery for you, Zack and baby
My husband and I have been together for 18 years and we finally got pregnant by “accident” last year and we now have a beautiful 7 month old. The universe is wild. Wishing you all the best.♥️
Wow it seems to take its time huh?
That's amazing! Congratulations! I've been with my hubs since high school (20 years) have tried everything. Never seen a positive test :'( What a gift you have received!!
Sara Garofano That’s the crazy thing. My story is so similar to Kristi’s. We stopped trying years ago and it happened completely out of the blue. My entire pregnancy I was in shock. I’m still in shock and she’s sleeping on my chest right now.
Wow!!! This is so so so exciting and incredible I am SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!
Congrats to you as well!
This is kristi’s year and no one can tell me otherwise
Yessssss❤️👏
It makes the dumpster fire that is 2020 totally worth it
It took us 9.5 years to get pregnant! I was so shocked when the stick said pregnant, and I randomly filmed it too (I'd never filmed one before and never had a positive test before). We now have an awesome 2 yr old!
That is so precious! ❤
That’s amazing... what helped you?
@@remixdbyre5028 I did a cpl things, got a "dye" test of the uterus (discovered its bicournate and tipped backwards), the test has been know to open a pathway for the sperm, I used some fertility oils (not sure they worked or not), cpl months before getting pregnant I used a drug to kill bacteria in the uterus (I had a slightly elevated amount) (may or may not have been hindering my eggs to develop), that's all I can think of right now. Hoping for round 2 here soon as my boy is almost 4 now!
He's adorable!
Congratulations ❤️
My friend couldn’t get pregnant no matter what she did and as soon as she lost 40 lbs she immediately got pregnant ! Congrats again you both deserve it!
You guys. Imagine being kristi’s ACTUAL child. This kid has the coolest mom ever.
My mom the coolest mom
But will it tell Zach that hes not their real dad? Lol
I want her to be my real dad
Same lol!
YES!!! coolest PARENTS ever
I have never been happier for any human being in my whole life
Truth!
SAME!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Same here
Ditto
Both Kristi and Desi saving 2020
I wish women who didn’t want kids could give there fertility to woman who do want them. 😞
They hopefully do, can donate eggs.
I wish I could.
Miranda I totally know what you mean, but I just know some women who have no desire to have a baby and I wish they could give the ability to have kids. Not just eggs, the whole experience to these ladies who wish for it so badly.
@@Jellbells23 I'm having twins and looking for a great home.for my babies. Are you interested
That’s kind of what adoption is 😊 but I understand what you’re saying
@@Jellbells23 I'm one of those woman that does not want children.
Nature can be cruel sometimes.
I didn't think I could get pregnant, but last year in Aug my mom passed away and in Dec I found out I was 2 months pregnant. Its funny how things happen, I'm expecting my little one on the 21st of this month!
Good luck mama! May you and baby be healthy and well
I hope you had a safe delivery and a massive congratulations girl ❤
"I may do a video..." Girl, do all the videos. All the pregnancy and baby videos.
YES
Yesssss!!!!!!!!!!
Kristen 13 PLEASE
Right! Idk if she’s worried if it wouldn’t match her “brand,” but her channel name says it all: “RAW.” We love the realness.
ALLLLL OF THEM!!!!
This is the most happy I have ever been for a person I have never met.
Same
Exactly my thoughts too
Same
SAME! I’ve commented that a few times since her announcement post, I have literally NEVER been happier for someone that I don’t actually know. 😭❤️
I cried so hard at her announcement video. I am putting out nothing but great things for her pregnancy
My mom also only had periods 1-2x a year and was told by her Drs. that she was infertile. She was married for 10 years (never using contraception) before she got pregnant. Long story short I'm one of five and her Drs. were SUPER wrong 😂
Want to know something crazy? As I'm watching this, you aren't pregnant. You're a mommy! Congratulations!!!! He is absolutely perfect.
I’ve followed Kristy for almost 5 years now and at 15 years old I was also told that I had early signs of infertility. I was absolutely crushed cause all I ever wanted to be was a mom. Exactly one year after she found out, my husband and I found out we were expecting. To the exact day!
“You realize how many people you don’t like when you go to name a kid.” Yes 👏🏻, what every mother has thought!!
Soo true!!
Literally laughed out loud at that one!
YES! So many names I loved and didn’t pick believe I disliked a person named that! 😅
Your baby is going to watch this when they are older and release how wanted they where and that's so valuable to a person
I just hope his kid won't become like this:
czcams.com/video/lCl7I7png08/video.html
I dont think her baby will need to watch this to realize how loved baby is.. but yeah, this validates how much of a miracle they are.
The hope🤞🏼🙏🏻 I am someone who’s tried for 7 years to conceive. Never been on birth control, I too did keto and lost 34 pounds and still no luck so this gives me hope 🤞🏼
🤞 best of luck
Good luck sweet x
Baby dust hun! ✨
I tracked ovulation for 6 months while TTCing, never ovulated..did keto for 3 months, got a positive ovulation test the 3rd month after that and got pregnant! Keto was the only thing I changed. Good luck to you!
Take Mucinex on day 5 of your cycle and take it everyday for 10 days. The 1200mg one (pure guaifenesin). I can only get pregnant after taking it, no idea why though.
Just found out I was infertile for certain a few days ago. My soul is crushed and I have no sense of direction. This video gave me a sliver of hope. I am infinitely happy for you both :)
That’s it I’ve named the baby “Raw Baby Khristmas”
Awww, this is so cuteeee
Yes yes yes!!
I don't think I like thinking of a baby as RAW.
@@naylaleifson9022 yeah, they're a bit too crunchy
Same thing with my daughter. She has PCOS. She and her husband finally came to the realization that they weren't gonna be parents. I watched my daughter suffer mentally over not becoming a parent. She cried so many times. Many times she would come to me bawling her eyes out and I would sit with her in my arms like when she was a little girl. After figuring she would never get pregnant she kindof just move on. 2 years ago she had to have a procedure done because she also has severe endometriosis her GYN drilled holes in her ovaries to try to have more eggs produce and come out. One day I was in the kitchen and she told me to close my eyes. She asked me to open my hand. She put 3 positive pregnancy tests in my hand. I was mind blown and speechless. I almost dont think I believed it for a second. She was pregnant. I lost it and bawled my eyes out. Last November she had a healthy baby boy.
I'm honestly so happy for you both.
Omg!!! Congrats to you and your daughter!!!
This was beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
That’s such a sweet story! Congratulations to your family!
Awwww congratulations to your daughter such a touching story.
My parents tried for 10 years. My mom had me at 35. I’m the only kid and she is my best friend for life!!
Wow Thank you for share! I’m 38 and I’m trying so hard! I hope in the future my kid can say the same about me! ❤️
My fiancé and I have been trying , each month has been a disappointment. And I feel guilty at times as a woman because I can’t bring a child into the world like other women can. I pray everyday, And seeing this gave me hope.
I honestly don’t know if I’ve ever been happier for another human being in my life!!!!!
Me too! Especially people I don't really even know...my heart is so full of happiness for them ♥️
Same, like I'm genuinely so so so happy for her, it's like a miracle 😩😄
Same! So happy for them!
Me too!
Me too❤️
Am I the only one who feels excited like this is my baby too?🥰🥺
I do too!
Me too. 🥺❤
Omg I seriously do!!!!
Same girl!!!!
Thanks for sharing. My wife and I have been ttc for 15 years as well. We did IVF for a few cycles with no positives. We are in the “unexplained” category. So frustrating! It’s all I want in life is to be a father. It effects not only the women, but is just as hard on the men as well. We are going to try in vitro at the first of the year. Thanks for sharing.
My husband told.me my smell changed, he kept smelling me and smiling. I got an old pregnancy test i had lying around and it changed my life. 8 month old sleeping next to me now.
The human body is amazing
Does body smell change when a woman get pregnant?
WAS ANYBODY ELSE LIKE, "OH, NO. CAN'T SKIP THE ADS. BABY IS COMING!!!" 💜💜💜
I commented for the same reason . Gotta get that engagement up! Lmao
I did the same thing! Lol
I did the same thing!!
Same here & commenting for that reason as well.
i’m watching an almost 4 minute ad BEFORE the video has even started 🤪
Say it again: I'm pregnant. Your face lights up from the inside out. Plus, your cat seems really happy for you too.
cats can sense people's emotions :)
Girl I'm so happy for you I just conceived my miracle baby 🙏🐥🍼 after 6.5 years of infertility I'm so happy 😁
15 years!! That’s such a long time to go through so much unknown, heartache, and anxiety. CONGRATS!!!!!!! I can’t imagine how many feelings you must be having during this pregnancy and about this pregnancy. You are so brave and strong 🎉🎉
Zack first meeting the baby: Hi baby, I'm your da...
Kristi: I am your real dad.
This is the ONLY comment that matters 💀
LMAO 😂
LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣
Yes !!! Someone said it ! Or the baby says moma am I orange? I hope baby does the mouth thing that she does god I'd live for that !
I need merch now!
Post everyday. Post as much as you want about your pregnancy. This is YOURS and YOUR HUSBANDS journey. Trust me when I say this. I wished I took more photos and videos when I was.
Yes same!!! I have only 2 pics of me
Pregnant.. & none of them are full on belly pics. Regret it so much!!! Definitely take pics! She’ll always have these videos to look back on as well.. & so will babe 😍
Same!! I have like 10 photos total of me preggo or when my kids were young, way to go me lol
Amen. I don’t have one photo of myself pregnant. I did end up having him at the end of the second trimester so you couldn’t really tell anyway, but I’m still sad I don’t have any
So true! Document! For you. We're happy to see but pictures and video is going to be the things you treasure the most 😁
What an incredibly honest, refreshing & genuine human being. I only just discovered Kristi and I am struck by how awesome she is. So so happy for you home girl. 💕
Girl I feel you whole heartedly! I am finally pregnant at 33! I am almost at the end of my preggo journey! You get the tired back (at least I am) nausea comes back and the heart thing doesn't go away. Its crazy and scary and wonderful. I am so happy for you!! Congrats!!! I hope your pregnancy keeps going the way its going now!
“You realize how many people you don’t like when you have to name a child.” - Kristi 2020 🤣
I felt that in my soul lol 😂
YEP 🤣
Loved it 😂
The REALEST lol
I’ve never wanted kids a day in my life at 24 but with that being said nothing makes me happier than to see others-especially ones with fertility issues- get to become parents. How fulfilling it must be. ❤️
I feel the same way. Obviously, she is going to be one of the best moms because she’s been wanting a kid for sooooooo long.
Same! I'm adopted/have always wanted to adopt but never get pregnant myself. But seeing Kristi this overjoyed makes me SO happy :') Everyone who wants to be a parent this much absolutely deserves to be one
@spooky katt Or some people just dont want children.
This is beautiful. I love hearing about fertility successes. People that really want a child and are blessed finally get a baby, makes me so happy.
I got pregnant at 42 after 10 years trying had ivf which failed then 6 months later pregnant naturally I’m so happy for you
*“I’ll never be a family blogger” - thank god, smart woman*
I agree with the thank god but the smart woman part sounds very condescending 🙃
Fun fact, women with PCOS reach their “fertility peak” about 10-20 years after women without PCOS. It could very well be related to your age!
😮😮😮 that's hopeful for me good to know 😊
I began struggling with PCOS at the age of 20. Now 25. Does it means i will only be able to get pregnant at 40?
Interesting I never heard of that I have PCO too
@@srijuhari5079 no! 30s is a wonderfully fertile time for women!
@@srijuhari5079 - I had a friend in high school who's parents were totally infertile. They adopted 5 children and were totally amazing parents. I spent a lot of time at their house, it was fun. I ran across her one day at the mall after we had both gone off to college. I asked her how her parents were and she replied "my mom's pregnant." It still floors me today. You never know what life has to offer and the unconventional path to motherhood is always a great option. There are hundreds of thousands of kids in our foster care system.
You look absolutely beautiful, you’re literally glowing, I’ve never seen you look better! CONGRATS 🍾🎊🎉🎈!! Sooo happy for you!! 🤗❤️🥰
pregnancy glow 😍✨
I’ve teared up a million times during this video but when you talked about your husband the tears brimmed over. So so so happy for you girl
“This is gonna be a long video” me: *walks to kitchen, starts making snacks while I listen and feel all my troubles go quiet because this is such a pure, amazing, sensational gift to someone who definitely deserves it!*
YEEES !!!
Exactly my thoughts! It could not happen to a better person!
Same!
This is such a kind message. I’m glad I got to read it 🥰
I feel the same way!! I’m so happy for Kristi 🥰
World: Wow, so nothing good is going to happen in 2020 at all?
RawBabyKristi: Hold my bottle.
Haha this comment made me actually tear up 😂❤️
YESSS
It’s the universe making up for the darkside of 2020!!!! It’s a little light!!!!!! Thank you for posting the video and letting us all in on your journey 💕
I just hope the kid won't become like this:
czcams.com/video/lCl7I7png08/video.html
2020 is the year of "It Didn't Go As Planned"! For our beautiful mother Kristi I couldn't be more happy that it didn't! 🥰
The way you speak about your husband! Ugh!!!!! Brings tears to my eyes! What a divine, surprise of a gift! So happy for you!
I love seeing others find hope in this. Never give up!!
Seems like when people stop trying in their minds, it happens. A few friends of mine that had conception issues ended up getting pregnant when they just chilled out. Amazing and such a blessing. You will be great parents.
When a woman knows she’s pregnant, she knows
This is some real shit
💯 it’s a beautiful/crazy thing but we for sure know our bodies best!!
This is the video i need right now! i’m so grateful i came across your channel. I am close to the stage of accepting we most likely will never be parents. It has been 7 years. I didn’t know that accepting this fact is an actual thing. The pressures of society had made me think i am crazy for wanting to accept never having a baby. You have made me realise that it IS ok 💜 Thank you xo.
Also, your cat is the cutest!
I'm sooooo happy for you both!! This has made me cry (the other video did too) because I know the pain of trying and failing. As a woman, I felt worthless and I felt like a failure. I felt unworthy. I went through 5 losses over the last 2 years so we just stopped trying all together. I was so depressed. Then I ended up in the ER for something unrelated and they informed me that I was 16 weeks pregnant! I have eight weeks left and I still cannot believe that I am pregnant! feeling like you are having an outer body experience is exactly what I have felt like so I know exactly what you're talkin about! Congratulations! It's truly a gift!
The internet is in flames and Kristi’s over here with her miracle baby! So happy!
“You realize how many people you don’t like when you go to name a kid” 💀
Lol it's true. We had our 1st baby in January.
lol
Truth 😂😂
This is exactly how I felt naming my 15 month old lol
Lmao! Never heard a more true statement! When we were naming our son, every other name I suggested, my husband responded with, “I know a douche bag named so and so!” 🤪🤣
It took 7 years for my miracle baby. It's hard when you want it so bad but it isn't happening. Being a Mom is everything to me. Love my boy❤
I love the way you talk about your husband and how he’s going to be such a good dad, sending love to you and your fam!
"I think I´m going to be a good mom". HONEY! You're gonna be the best mom! Zack is gonna be the best dad! No doubt about that.
Yessss
Sweetheart, I’m sorry to tell you, but you are more than the “food-lady” to your cats... When you raised your voice and was enthusiastically explaining yourself,..your cat reaching up and looking into your eyes and saying,”momm,..are you ok??” ADOREABLE
Janice Hollstein I was laughing because she’s going to be “food lady” to the baby for a little while too 😂😂😂
Haha yes!!
Janice Hollstein aweee! I know it was so cute 😍
lil kitty in the background is making my day, along with this great and happy news. Im just so happy for you two
I found you from this video on my recommendations and I’m so glad I did. I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU I’m crying with happiness 🥺❤️
Imagine being this baby and knowing that your parents wanted you so bad ♥️😭. BEAUTIFUL!!!
The real tea: where can we send baby cards and gifts!!!
THIS! Yes!
Yes yes yes puleaseeeeee, I feel like such a proud auntie!!!
THIS!!! I wanna send my not mom baby stuff
YES! and an online baby shower or ugh whatsit called a baby gift registry I think is what I am trying to say!
This!!!
It is definitely a miracle! Praying for a safe & healthy pregnancy for you, and baby. Congratulations!
I have been watching the “mainstream” beauty community for a couple years.
I am sorry i didn’t find your channel before your pregnancy announcement! I love you already and I although I was not here for your struggles in life, I will be here to support your positivity in your life!!! I love you already (and your man) l. Your relationship is so genuine. I strive for this!
Thank you for sharing

Kristi : hold my pregnancy test
I GOT PREGNANT WITH A SURPRISE BABY ON MARCH 10TH 2019 AFTER I WAS TOLD I COULD NEVER CARRY A BABY TO GESTATION!!!!!! On December 1st my miracle baby boy joined me and he’s such a blessing to my life! 😍 I always joke because my husband was in shock for a few months (we honestly struggled to be excited because we thought we would lose him at any given moment) that it was his fault because March 10th is hubs birthday 😂😂😂
Congratulations! That’s so incredible, I’m very happy for you 💕
Oh my god, that sounds like an awful pregnancy :( how could someone spoil this magical period for you... Did you carry to term?
It was really tough!! I did carry to term by some miracle and my baby is almost 7 months old!! Sometimes I still look at him in disbelief that he actually exists! I have an angel baby so that make his reality even more shocking 🥰🥰
Aye another pisces we good and senstive 🤣👏👏
SUCH A MIRACLE😭 I’m literally typing this and you just said miracle! Such a beautiful story❤️
As of right now, there are 743 thumbs down and I’d like to have a word with all 743! 😝 Congratulations to both of you! Best of luck ❤️
Yeah, and let us know what makes them so mean and insensitive. 😠
Right ? I just don’t get it and why , what is their reasoning for it :(
for the sake of not losing faith in humanity (more, because it's already low)
I like to pretend _all of those_ are mistakes, happy tears blurred vision, or excitement shaky hands, or something...
No its people whom are insensitive and never had to deal with anything like this , they are bitter trolls .
I am 13 weeks pregnant today with my SECOND “impossible” baby. I have PCOS and after 8 years we have a beautiful two year old daughter and a little boy on the way. I was completely convinced I couldn’t have one and now we have TWO! You just wait and see...life will surprise the hell out of you. Congrats, mama♥️👏🏻🥰
Congrats to you too ❤️
Hope both your angels are healthy and happy!
Congrats❤❤
Κωνσταντίνα Μ. Thank you so much☺️
hafsa moiz Thanks!
Congratulations!!
Me watching Kristi gush about Zach: 😭😍😭😍😭😍😭😍
This could LITERALLY not happen to a more deserving, loving, amazing couple ❤️
Isn't it amazing how emotionally invested we can be in someone's so truly beautiful and their dreams coming true. This made my day ❤
I've been binging all your pregnancy videos, and I just am overjoyed for you! 🥰 I cant wait to see your little man when you're ready to show him off!! You are going to make a beautiful mother.
“You’re growing a brain and eyeballs” woah! I never even thought about it like that 😳
The cat says "Mother human, enough about your gestation, pet meh."
The little face is too much!!!
That was so cute!
When you say “I’m gonna post whatever I want to post whenever I want to post it.” Yessss girl. Just yes. Right on!!!
Oh girl ....sore boobs! Was my first symptom as well! I wish you all the best in this wonderful journey! 💛
I have looked up to you and been inspired by you for so long and I struggle with severe chronic pain and seeing how you persevere and stay positive has been a huuuuge help.
I also just became pregnant and am over the moon. We got news I didn't ovulate and found out I was pregnant right before my follow up. I feel so beyond grateful. It has been incredibly isolating shifting from being a healthy person to dealing with a lot chronic pain and illness. This feels like added motivation for me. Thank you for being you.
Thank you so much for your openness and honesty. I feel like I'm watching my story. I had my first baby at 32 after 12 years of infertility, also NEVER even getting pregnant, never having a positive pregnancy test. I'm so excited for you and I love watching your story. This baby is a complete miracle and so blessed to have such amazing parents.
From someone who has been through exactly this, I'd like to give you a couple pieces of advice. First, it isn't talked about, but not everyone experiences that rush of love and connection when Baby is born. For some it takes time to connect with your baby. After taking so long to get pregnant, I think I emotionally sort of cut off and didn't connect with her while I was pregnant because I didn't trust everything would be ok. If I didn't allow myself to fully feel, maybe it wouldn't hurt as much if something did happen to her. 🤷 I just had no trust in my body to do what it was supposed to do to bring her into this world because my body had, for years, not done the things it was supposed to. So when my daughter was born, it took a little time for me to feel connected to her. It's kind of a fake it till you make it situation. And if that's your experience too, I just want to tell you THAT'S OK. You're not a bad person. You're not a bad mom. Infertility messes you up emotionally. You WILL connect with your baby, you WILL love him/her.
The second piece of advice is to be very cognizant of postpartum depression (PPD). Again, your body is going through so much and the whole history of infertility absolutely plays into your postpartum recovery. There's absolutely no shame if you have to go on antidepressants for a while. Eventually things will even out and you'll feel normal again. But in the meantime, having the assistance of medication can allow you to have the ability to give your best to your newborn.
You're in my prayers. Like I said, I feel like I'm watching my life play out on CZcams. Just so you know, I'm currently 32.5 weeks pregnant with baby #2. Both girls had a due date of September 15, 5 years apart (2015 & 2020). So, just be prepared that lightening may strike twice!
May all three of you be richly blessed and may your pregnancy continue to progress perfectly!
Much love,
Gretchen from Iowa
Can I just say finally. SAME. and we found out on Father’s Day. Pcos can suck it.

Congratulations!
Congrats!!
congratulations!!!!! i’m so happy for you🤍🤍🤍
I have PCOS, I don’t ovulate, and I got pregnant after losing 40 lbs with a low carb diet too. 🤷🏼♀️
Same ,but I went vegetarian and lost the weight. My doctor told me my chances of getting pregnant would improve it I wasn't obese.......he was right.
Oh my lord same! I was infertile for 6 years, went on the keto diet and lost 40 pounds and got pregnant
Oh my gosh that’s crazy!! The fact that it’s so common is amazing! Like maybe there’s hope for people who have been having trouble!
Oh wow! Congrats everyone!!!!! I came on here just to congratulate the original commenter, but then saw all of yours too!!!!😍😍😍😍
Sameee 🤯
I can't tell you how elated I am for you my love! We have been trying 21 years this year. Fertility treatments and all. I can get pregnant but can't stay pregnant. We have had a stillborn and an ectopic pregnancy and 5 miscarriages. So I hear you! Heartbreak and stress was literally all it was. We are now waiting to be approved to become foster parents. After seeing this we are trying again once more on our own. I also have PCOS. I have recently lost 121 pounds and hope that will help. Wow I am so happy and excited for you. My heart is beating so hard watching your face and hubby's face. So so happy for you loves. Congrats and take in every single second. I adore you! Thank you for making these videos and changing our lives! Xoxo
As a 22 year old who has health problems when it comes to my insides, THIS gives me so much hope. My gyno is almost certain I will not be able to have kids. It is a huge fear for me and my fiance. I have always wanted to be a mom and my fiance has always wanted to be a dad. We have time to figure things out as we wont be trying for kids for at least a few years, but the fear is there. I have always loved you and wanted the best for you and I'm so incredibly happy for you! I happy cried watching your announcement video. Thank you for giving me hope!
"You're not lazy; you're growing a human being." I wish every pregnant woman in the world could internalize that message!
I sure did. My husband would jokingly say “do something by with your life” and I’d reply back, “I’m growing a human!” Lol
I saw this video was up, went to my husband and told him, "I don't exist for the next hour! I'm pouring myself a drink and going to watch rawbeautykristi talk about her pregnancy!" Over the moon for you and Zach--congratulations again!
Lol I did the same thing
Cd James lol I told my husband bye this is my evening 😂 then we listened together.
Amazing!!! You have a lot of positive energy coming your way!
Ahhh 😌 I’m so happy for you! It is apparent that you are truly genuinely so grateful for your pregnancy. So exciting ❤️
She is just glowing. I’m so glad that this is happening for her, she’s going to be an incredible mom
The fact that she knew right away! Sometimes women just know.
Somehow I guessed right, right away with 2/3 of mine w/in the first day! If course while on Depo Provera, birth control, I joked about the 3% chance & low & behold 1/2way through I find out I am pregnant! She was meant to be born! Birth control, not an issue, due on Christmas day & I can't describe our joyful determination of a baby girl!
I have 4 kids and each pregnancy I knew before even testing! there's a strange feeling I can't explain it but we do know
My mom also had 4 kids and she pretty much knew with all of us. With my brother she was told she wasn't pregnant, but she knew she was!
Omg congrats and thank you for sharing this. I am 7 weeks and have had so many of these symptoms and I’ve been weirded out by the depressive, unmotivated state I’ve been in. It makes me feel so much better to hear you share this. 🖤🖤🖤
My mom also got pregnant with me when she was 32. I’m an only child and my mom is my best friend. I’m so excited for you both, I bet you’ll be great parents! 💕
I’m 32 so that’s encouraging 🙂
“You realize how many people you don’t like when you go to name a kid.” This had me rolling because it’s so true!!! 😂😂😂
Omg yes. My husband and I found out we were pregnant again and we have a girl's name and a first name for a boy but he came up with a middle name and I was like eww no lol
Yes, I just went thru that when I was trying to name my new puppy.
Try being a teacher.. there are no safe names.
@@2014knicole Amen!!!
"You realize how many people you don't like when you go to naming a kid." This so so true!! I am so happy for you guys.
It's even worse when you work at a daycare or as a teacher lol
Truer words have never been said 😆
OMG I’m just so happy for you your going to be an amazing mother, I cried so hard when you shared your TTC journey. But god has blessed you! Congratulations!!!
I am so genuinely thrilled for you! I cried during your announcement video and right now listening to you, my heart is full. I have three children, but lost two before having my third. I was devastated, but now my own miracle baby (we named her Grace bc it means gift from God) is getting ready to turn 26, and she is the joy of my life. Congratulations on your own journey to motherhood, Kristi! Thank you for sharing your story! ❤️😘❤️😘
"I'm crying right now because I watched a TikTok of a guy being a really good dad" oh girl just wait until you see Zack being a really good dad, your heart is going to explode into a billion pieces omg now I'M CRYING AGAIN omg
A husky let me know I was pregnant! He wouldn’t leave my side and ignored his owners commands. Followed me to the bathroom and stuck his snout underneath the door. Took a test the next day because I thought that was suspicious and I was pregnant! Congratulations girly, you deserve this baby and I’m so over the moon for you. 🥰❤️
Wow. What a cute story ! 💖
This is so amazing for you!!! It’s like my dream come true!! I lost a tube and had uterine tumors at 35 and basically no egg count. I had just lost my mom and I tried to no avail. I’m thrilled to live through your experience and be so damn happy for you!!!
I’m rewatching this video 💕 you literally found out on March 29th and I found out I’m pregnant in March 27th just 2 days before you!.
I was diagnosed with PCOS at 20 after being on birth control since I was like 13yrs old. My husband and I am a lot like you and Zack, we have been together since I was 13. We grew up together as kids and got married super young.
We struggled through failed fertility treatments, tests, heartache for over 3 years before we got the shock of a lifetime when we found out we were pregnant with our first child, our daughter in 2010. My daughter is now 9 1/2💜
We really battled for years after having her on weather we ever wanted to go back down the road of trying for another child. We never felt (done) but the idea of having to endure the possible long journey, the struggles, the rollercoaster of emotions to know that we were beyond blessed to have our daughter so for years we went back and forth and didn’t try. I also had so health issues come up from like 2013-2017, so going through that I really kinda thought we wouldn’t have anymore children. Our precious daughter always asked and talked about wanting a sibling and it just rugged on my heart strings so much. She so longed to be a big sister and not be a only child. Finally in summer 2018 my health issues had majorly improved and after a lot of very candid conversations with my husband we decided to turn it over to fate and our faith and just let things happen. If it was meant to happen just like with our daughter we knew it would. So I came off birth control in May 2018. For several months I had no cycle (the birth control masked my PCOS symptoms) finally my cycle did return, but they were so long. Like 35/50 days some months no joke. For the first year or so we just loved life, not tracking or doing anything like that. In September of 2019 we got a false positive test and that was so heartbreaking. After that experience I finally ordered some ovulation tests on amazon, like 100 of them lol😂 so when I got them I started testing 2x a day everyday about 5 days after my period would stop each month, in doing that I found out that I was ovulating at totally different times each month and the period tracker apps I was using were COMPLETELY off most months. So no wonder we weren’t conceiving. I began doing that in October 2019, and by tracking honestly it opened my eyes to my individual cycles, fertile window, ovulation etc. It was really eye opening. I tracked monthly and kept journals of my opks, my symptoms etc.. In January and February of this year I was still tracking but not being super strict with it those months. I was taking opks but not super regularly, I had my period beginning of February, of course Valentine’s Day came and went😉 and as I mentioned I had very long cycles so in March I was experiencing extremely bad thirst, I was hungry like starving, I was very fatigued and was sleeping in a lot which I never do! I also had extremely vivid dreams which I have only ever experienced while pregnant. March 16th rolled around and I randomly took a opk and it came up so bright and positive like immediately which has never happened to me before. That was the most positive opk I have ever had, which I found super strange because I had already gotten a positive opk after my last period in February.i still didn’t put 2 & 2 together. On March 26th I woke up nauseous and sick all day, was totally useless, felt awful, so tired all day, finally the next day I also felt awful, I was trying to eat lunch and literally violently got threw up and couldn’t keep my lunch down. I am not one to throw up like ever so that was super strange and when my mom saw me run to the bathroom to throw up she was like uhhh?🤔 so after that I ran to the dollar store and got 2 tests, came home and I didn’t even tell anyone I was taking the test lol. I went in and took it and immediately positive and I burst into tears in disbelief. Went running through the house and blurted it out my husband and daughter together literally with tears streaming down my face in shock!
I’m 24weeks & 3 days, due November 12th and we are having a sweet baby boy, we are naming him Wyatt Hoyt 💙 and we are completely inlove with him.
I am so excited to follow your journey, we are just a couple weeks apart! And I absolutely can’t wait to find out what your having. I am so beyond happy for you💕
I also have pcos and after giving up and deciding to go on with my life, I finally had a baby. Then 10 years after that, I had another baby. Then, 10 more years went by and boom another baby! So I have a 25 yr old, 16 yr old and a 5 yr old! There’s hope!
What a cool span of ages! It’s almost like every kid got a good chance at being in the spotlight 💕
Melissa Callia yes! I always had a good and eager helper when the next baby came!
Kristi: says sorry about the video being long.
Me: getting my snacks ready because I’m stoked it’s a long video.
I told my husband I would give him a foot rub! Sorry babe, didn’t know it was gonna be so long!🤣
