Wow I can't believe how quickly this pregnancy is going only 12 weeks left that's crazy. You are looking amazing.
I know - it's flown by! And thank you!
I know!! I'm just so excited to their baby to arrive. 😍🎊🎉🎈✨
So sweet watching your face glow talking about how great of a husband Brad is. Love love love watching your videos! Grow babies grow!
I love watching your updates. My twins are 8 years old and I have to say, being pregnant with them and feeling them move and having hiccups were some of the best times of my life. Enjoy every minute of your pregnancy...even the hard times because time flies and you forget so much! I cannot believe that my babies are already eight and a half years old! They both weighed 5lbs 10 oz at 37 weeks and 3 days, sounds like your babies might surpass them...which is so hard to believe because you are so tiny. I literally started wearing maternity pants at 10 weeks! Hang in there with the back pain, it’s not fun, but so worth it!
Feeling them move is my favorite thing in the world! Those are great sized twins!
I carried my son 42 weeks!!!!!! And I had that pain your describing the ENTIRE time! I love the chiropractor! That man was the most amazing person alive. I completely recommend going. I went twice a week! And just for your relief the SECOND you have your babies the pain is instantly gone. It's amazing! You look great btw!
Oh my gosh, 42 weeks... Good to know the relief will be instant. And I'm definitely going to try a chiro now!
You could never be boring! Praying for your comfort. 🙏🙏🙏 Go Brad! Im not surprised to hear that he's sensitive to your needs. He strikes me as that kind of guy! I did the book thing 33/34 years ago. I even saved the envelope it came in, for it was her as a keepsake, her first mail.
The doctor at MUSC you seen sounds like my obgyn Dr. Sullivan. He delivered my first, happened to be on call & she was 26 weeks. Now im pregnant again 24 weeks & very high risk & he is so informative, caring & genuine! Praying for happy healthy pregnancy for you! -Brittany
THAT WAS HIM!!! Congratulations!
Hey Rach! I remember when I was pregnant with my twins....worst part of a twin pregnancy was the uncomfort of trying to sleep ...the only thing that helped was a snoogle....just a suggestion. Love watching you guys!!!!
You look so beautiful and small for twins! Sorry you’re feeling the pregnancy problems like sciatica and rib problems. They are so uncomfortable but so worthwhile when you hold those babies.
Brad has been great! I’m so pleased for you as it truly helps during the hard times. Take good care!
Agreed, so worth it!!
You should do a video on the books you’ve collected for the twins!
Sarah Therese from Young Mama Vlogs has been seeing a chiropractor and swears by it (she's 36 weeks singleton pregnancy) and said although she was sceptical at first, it's been a real blessing. You might like her vlogs for reference xx
Aww how sweet you are god bless the baby's love love watching y'all and how fast your time has going. My hubby is a disabled NAVY veteran 32 years and 4 kids later I have become his 24/7 caregiver with love and feel so blessed to have him.
Thank him for his service for us, please! And thank you, too!
It was not boring!! I enjoy hearing you talk and seeing your progress! You really do not look like you are 6 months pregnant with twins! You look amazing! I hope everything continues to go well! I can't wait to see the babies and find out what you name them too!!
Heather H :)
Thank you!! We're excited to find out what we name little man, too :p
Thanks for the update. Not boring at all. I don’t know how I’m going to do it. I’m 7.5 weeks with twins and the tiniest tasks make me feel like I’m going to pass out. It’s been tough. I have a long way to go!
Oh gosh - if you haven't already had iron and BP checked maybe start there! Hopefully that gets better!
xoxo
Your vlogs are so much fun to watch. You have such a great personality and you keep it real. Plus, you throw in a bit of humor! So excited to follow you in your journey. 😊
Never bored by these updates. Such a miracle to be witnessing. Thank you for allowing us to be in your journey! Much love to all of you!
Love love love watching your videos. Can’t wait for babies to be here ❤️❤️❤️ you guys are such sincere, beautiful people and it makes my heart happy. Those babies are so lucky to have you as parents!!!
Thank you for talking about and linking to the bras!! Mine are getting so uncomfortable, but I didn’t want to go spend a ton of money. These ones look perfect!
+Lisa Garlick yes! I hope you like them! They come with the expanders and the littler hook things to make the straps work with a racer back!
Not boring! Watching your vlogs are fabulous. Hope you can find comfort and relief soon.
I saw a chiropractor during my pregnancy when I hurt my back, I couldn't even put weight on my left leg, barely get to the bathroom, it was awful! When I saw the chiropractor I could literally walk out of the office! It was amazing! I highly recommend. I also had been terrified of chiropractors alllllllllllll of my life so the desperation was great for me to go at all let alone while I was pregnant. Good luck to you!
Yay for great size twins!!! Mine were the same always measuring big!! I had them at 37+4 the pain was so bad by then my boy was 8lbs and my girl was 6.11!!!! You look amazing!!!! I promise the moment you see them you will forget the pain!!
Good job Rachel. Never boring, informative.
No reason to apologize ❤️! I'm enjoying your Vlog as I had twin boys 50 years ago. Yours is really different than my pregnancy!!
I can't believe you're already 25 weeks! It just seems to be flying by!!!
It was NOT boring! I enjoyed it.
Thank you!
I love your updates! It seems like a couple days ago your bump was barely there. You look amazing!
Thank you!!
you're doing so good! it's been so fun to watch you from the very beginning! maybe I'm the only one that feels this way, but the music playing throughout the entire vlog made it difficult for me to focus on what you were saying. it's not just your vlog. other vloggers do it too. I don't know why it just drives me crazy lol. you two are one of the sweetest couples ever! love watching all your vlogs! you, Rachel, have the cutest laugh. anyhow 👍 that things keep going so well for you!!!!!👶👣😘👶👣
I second the chiropractor visit!! My mom was adjusted with all 4 of us kids and it did wonders!! It also helped that my dad is the chiropractor 😉 Pregnancy looks so beautiful on you! Love watching your videos is makes me excited to have kids one day 🙂👶🏼👶🏼
Thank you!! I think I will try the chiro!
To have been watching you since the start of this pregnancy and to see where you are now, seems so fast! I know being the one pregnant it might not feel that way lol. I guess with the sodium issue you will have to way which one is worth more attention. Your updates are never boring. You look great as always.
Just found y'all a few days ago and have been binge watching all of your vlogs! What a precious couple you are ♥ I'm so happy for you and Brad and can't wait to "meet" your son and daughter :)
I am also pregnant with twins - 27weeks - and everyone commenting on how small I am - I got worried because I was seeing other people's twin bumps and they were far bigger - but at all scans the babies are measuring perfect or like yours slightly ahead and everything all looks perfectly normal. However now watching your bumpdates I would say I have been pretty similar to you, and I also just hope it means I am not gonna get ridiculously huge!
They're going to be Christmas babies! I was born on Christmas Day! ❤
Love it!!
Olivia Anderson Awe!! How cool, so was my second daughter. About 4:30 in the afternoon. How special! 🎄 Nice to meet you. We have a channel too, it would mean a lot if you please had a moment to check it out and subscribe to help us grow.❤️✌🏻
You're absolutely glowing, girl! Glad all is well.
Where did you get your sweater? I love it! So glad things are going well... I can't believe it's already 6 months!!!
Crazy how fast time has gone !!!! We are at 17 weeks now with our pregnancy:). It's fun to watch the videos and I don't mind the details! !!! Details are good! Looking great keep it up !! Not much longer !n
Yay for 17 weeks - that's crazy how fast it's gone!! You're almost halfway!
You're doing awesome with pregnancy!
Loving the way u carry ur pregnancy so easily ... love from UAE 🇦🇪 it wasn't boring , so informative
Loved your TMI comment!!! I am the same way on my updates. I just found your channel while looking for cool pregnancy update thumbnails. I am going to try to do a Halloween theme on my 30 week update. We shall see how it turns out. Good luck with your 3rd trimester I will be following- Stefani ❤️👍🏻
So glad to hear babies are doing well...gaining weight and hiccups!! You look small given that there are two babies in there! I don't think you will find it difficult to spring back into your pre pregnancy clothes!!! Really enjoy your updates Rach, Dx
Aw, thank you!
I always wanted twins 😍😍 I so happy to see you made it is far Rach 😍😍 Im praying everything continues to go well for you Hun..
I'm still so behind in videos!😭 I'm curious to know how your massage went! I've been wanting to get one! Also amen to the bra struggle! I keep growing out of them 🙈
I'm so excited to see them have you thought of names yet? And you are so pretty and definitely glowing :)
We have 50% of their names figured out! haha. We aren't telling anyone until they're born :)
haley piper we are working on a list! It seems so hard to name them without seeing them! Nice to meet you. We have a channel too, it would mean a lot if you please had a moment to check it out and subscribe to help us grow.
Your so beautiful Rach love waiting with you for your babies. I wish I had a daughter just like you. You’ll are so blessed .
Aww!! Thank you! xoxo
I have watched all of your videos you and Brad are amazing and I cannot wait to see those babies u both are going to be amazing parents
I have done that book exchange before! Was really fun!
Go see a chiropractor! It isn't as scary as it looks and will feel great. But because your center of gravity changes every day, you should be seen more regularly during your pregnancy. When I was pregnant I went every week...couldn't have survived without it!
Late on in pregnancy, the vessels swell in your nose so automatically ppl think it's a cold! I remember it so well, that pain in your side is worrying hope that something brings u relief 💛💛
I love your cardigan!!! Where did you get it?!?! Also, great update! How did your glucose test go?
Aw, I got it at a little boutique several years back! And I don't know - I haven't heard!!
On. your back pain... I had horrible nerve and back pain with my last pregnancy. My midwife gave me a referral to a Manual Physical Therapist. And OMG that was world changing. Seriously. Go check it out. The lady physically moved my spine and hips and pelvis though manual massage. I felt amazing.
Oh I just wanted to tell you that my sister gave birth to triplets in April at 24 weeks, 5 days. They all weighed 2 pounds. Amazing as God is, the boys only needed hernia surgery and they all (2 boys, 1 girl) needed blood transfusions, but everything else was perfect! Her cervix went down to .3cm and finally went into labor. Just know if those beautiful babies are born now, they are totally viable! I’m rooting for 37-38 weeks!
Wow, what a miracle!!!
Hey Rach! Loving your updates! I'm almost 18 weeks myself. I just wanted to check in and see if TriCare ended up covering your Sonata? :)
+ChasingCharlie Hey! They did!!!!
Brad and Rach Thank you!
Try sleeping either in a recliner or use a bunch of pillows and sleep kinda sitting up. It helped me alot. I also was sick with congestion sneezing runny nose from about October till May and had both boys in march 2 years apart.. so it took me 2 months to get over being sick .. hopefully you won't have to go threw the rest of pregnancy sick..
Oh my goodness!! The things we go through for these babies!
Having ultrasounds are tough and with twins you have so many! I had the same thing thing happen to me I almost did pass out one time. Luckily I had the same tech do most of my scans for the rest of the pregnancy and she would give me a pillow to put between my legs and I’d lay on my right side and she would do what she needed to do. Then I’d flip to my left and scoot as close to the edge as I could and she would reach around me. There was no way I could lay in my back at all once I went in to my 3rd trimester. So this helped me not feel like crap after the ultrasound. I loved seeing my baby girls but hated getting sick at my ultrasounds. Hopefully that can work for you too.
Agreed! I have another hour+ growth scan in a couple weeks. I should ask for a pillow!
Hey Rach have you looked into the cozy bump pregnancy pillow/bed its an inflatable I think. Its the new thing I've been seeing. I believe I have seen it for 65 bucks might be worth it to try and get some relief and some sleep. Love you guys thanks for the update video.
I've seen these! I think I'll check it out!
As far as sciatic pain I do this stretch thats called a figure 4 stretch. It is SO good to do while your sciatic nerve is bothering you. There are different variations you can do of the same stretch so you aren't laying on your back, my favorite being sitting with your back against the wall. Just look up the different variations.
Rib expansion pain, there's nothing.. ive looked all over and found nothing at all.. i find putting cou ter pressure helps as long as youre pushing it, and sitting back to create more room, but other than that us preggo mamas are out of luck haha
The figure 4 stretch is the one that makes my legs go numb!! Sad that the rib thing has no solution.. I think it's worse than the sciatic pain :(
I completely agree!! :(
My rib pain actually had me in tears the other night, because there is nothing you can do to relieve the pain! Pregnancy is so fun!! *eye roll*
But it is definitely worth it! That's for sure! Congrats on your 2 bundles of joy! I am expecting a little girl after having our son 3 years ago! Super excited to have one of each!
I pray that we both find something to relieve our rib pain!
And as far as the fig 4, I cannot even get myself into that position anymore now that I am 31 weeks preggo lol but my sciatic pain has cooled down also, so that's good lol
Hi Rach! You're looking beautiful! I'm 4 weeks ahead of you with a baby boy and I feel the same way you do at night with the rib pain! It's the worst! And I agree it affects sleep for sure. I also have sciatica pain now 😕 Regarding the stuffy now I've been wearing those nose strips I didn't think they would help but they totally do, give them a try. I think the product is called Breathe Right.
Have you gotten any Nancy Tillman books? They are so special!❤
I love your hair! It is so thick, full, and always looks so cute! I don't know how you feel about getting adjusted but If that is something you do I wonder if it could help your sciatica pain? I had it with my first baby and never thought to go to the chiro and then finally when she was a few years old and I still struggled with it I went and after a few adjustments it was gone and even through 2 more pgs never came back. I was also thinking maybe a warm pack for your rib pain might help? That is a bummer she didn't have any suggestions for you.
+Katie T thank you!
I'm going to set up a chiropractor appointment tomorrow!
get in to see a chiropractor! it will help so so much!
Your so little. Which is funny because with my single pregnancy I was pretty little til 33-35 weeks and then I ballooned. I hated that rib expansion feeling. It hurt so much. I can't wait til your beautiful babies are here! Your going to have so much fun with them!
Chiropractor and a real good massage therapist. Will help so very much. I am at 36 weeks with a single and I wouldn't be able to make it without it
Just a warning- in my experience pregnancy massages are relaxing but not really therapeutic for muscle pain. They have to be super careful because apparently certain pressure points can induce labor. Still was so nice, but didn't help my pain.
Afrin for a stuffy nose! Pregnancy colds SUCK! ❤️
Baby hiccups in your belly is the strangest feeling ever! So glad you are feeling a little bit better. Xoxo
You look awesome! Not boring to me! I have a 12/26 baby, I will hope for your sake they don't come then. Year of is neat following is stressful.
I love hearing about a twin pregnancy!
Haha, we've been calling them the Christmas Twins. It will forever be a busy time of year for us :)
Brad and Rach Aww it will be busy but a couple days between will help not combine so much. Though two days of presents for a one year old was funny
I love your videos so much!!
Brooke Bromfield We do too! Nice to meet you. We have a channel too, it would mean a lot if you please had a moment to check it out and subscribe to help us grow.
I saw a Chiro all throughout my twin pregnancy and I can't say enough to about the benefits of chiropractic care! I would recommend you research how chiropractic can benefit you during this time and especially for labor! Also, I was "stuffy" from about 24 weeks all the way until I delivered at 38w1d. My doc said it was just part of it :-(.
Don't apologize for the video being boring! First off, boring is good - an uneventful pregnancy is a good one 😊 hope it continues that way for you! Aside from that, the video wasn't actually boring and very informative. Ps- I noticed that guy Docs have more patience than women Docs. I also have many docs in my OB's practice and many of them are women. My main one I think is gay, so she's actually more patient like the men doc s that I've seen lol and I like her very much. Then I had a man doc recently and he was super nice and gave me all the time I needed to ask questions. There's definitely something there... 😊
Have been waiting for this
They have something you can buy on amazon it's like a pool floaty (sort of) and it has a hole in the middle for your bump... it might help to get one! ❤️❤️
I've seen those! I might need to invest in one...
You have got to be one of the cutest twin preggers Mamas Ive ever seen!! You look sooo good!
Thank goodness I’ve had no sciatica really yet, just the typical back pain. But I have gotten carpal tunnel starting around 19ish weeks at night. It’s awful! And the congestion is real.. I always assumed the typical morning sickness and back aches would be it as far as symptoms but definitely not! Lol Hope you get some relief with the prenatal massage! I got a 60 minute one recently but she talked to me more than I liked.. Haha I felt cheated!
That’s great weight for them! I had a singleton pregnancy and my daughter weighed around that on the 20 ish week mark. 👶🏼👶🏼
Always look forward to your vlogs, love you guys 😊 It does seem like your bump has come on over night, It wasn't that long ago you were asking brat pregnant or just fat lol which I thought was hilarious because i use to say that myself lol. My youngest is 12 years old on the 15th of october. The time flies so fast once you've had kids, enjoy them ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️
Haha, I'm so glad the pregnant/fat debate is behind me! :p
Happy early birthday to your baby!!!
She says Thank you, her name is Elle
If your open to it try the chiropractor!! It was my saving grace.
Oh honey....I definitely agree with trying to find ways to be comfortable but (I’m sorry to say it) you won’t be comfortable again until after those babies are out of you. Somehow you’ll find a way to get through it though...best of luck to you!! ❤️
I wasn't bored. It's interesting. I had 2 single pregnancies 44 years and 42 years ago. I have forgotten so much.
Get a wedge pillow they have them on Amazon. Get the higher one then you can lay on your back I use one when I get a bad cold or for kidney stones.
Good idea!
Brad and Rach PharMeDoc Bed Wedge Pillow - 25" x 24" x 12" - Orthopedic Support Pillow www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0P7BUF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_tRI2zbSGVHJKD you can also use it to prop feet up help feed babies and lots of stuff.
It is funny what you said about the sodium intake. My neurologist wants me to increase my sodium intake to help with my dizzy spells and low bp. Then my urologists said lower it cause I keep getting bladder infections and to much sodium I guess doesn’t help.
so love watchin ur videos...im 21 weeks with boy girl twins n this video was like me to the T except my sciatica pain is on the rt side. n my babies are already 1 pound 3 oz and 1 pound 2 oz and in the 99 and 98 percentile lol... where did u get ur belly band from i cant seem to find any where i live
Yay, good job!! Anything relieving your sciatic pain?
This is the belly band: amzn.to/2xikI2J
Have you gone to the chiropractor? Man it really helped me.
Do you have a snoogle pillow? It helped with my pain so much at night. Was a godsent. If you don’t have one maybe look into it?
I do! I actually don't love it.. I have the one shaped like a "G" and I feel trapped in it, haha.. I think I might get the one thats shaped like a rectangle and see how that works!
Check out Bravado nursing bras if your looking for anything else! I love them
I will!!
Currently pregnant with twin boys and is crazy how I have all those symptoms
I just found your Channel! New SUB! I'm 11wks3days I talk about the TMI things too I live this bc it's REAL I've been having bad gas and super smelly it's so embarrassing but it's the truth! We just posted our SURPRISE PREGNANCY ANNOUNCEMENT it was so fun!
You're doing so good ❤️ I swear Gatorade is the cure to everything 😂 12 weeks will hopefully go by fast! You got this 👌🏽💙💗
xoxo!!
Brad and Rach 😘
What is the best labor and delivery book you’ve read? Looking for all perspectives not just natural. Also something engaging. I know you are probably having a C-section, but I know you’ve mentioned reading in some other vlogs.
Oh, also... I’ve been seeing a chiropractor and it’s been life changing! I would highly recommend going.
Do you think a wedge pillow would alleviate back sleeping cutting off your blood flow? If you could sleep in more of a sitting position? I haven’t tried it, but I know being pregnant with only one gets hard to be on my side all the time. Hope you get some ZZZZs😊
A few people have mentioned the wedge! I'm going to research this!
Have you tried pregnancy massage!!!
I have one scheduled on Thursday!!
Have you tried sleeping in a reclined chair, that might help. Also will help with acid reflux and heart burn. Hope you get some relief!
I may try that!
If you do not have a pregnancy pillow yet... buy one ASAP. I promise you will not regret it.
PLEASE HAVE A PHYSICAL
THERAPIST OR CHIROPRACTOR CHECK TO SEE IF YOUR SI JOINT IS OUT OF PLACE. Just humor me and ask. It is painless and putting it back in
Is fairly painless. Mine pops in and out if inflamed. Let me
Know what they say 😉
Rach, you look so good! Ive been following you since the start and I am already planning to ask Brad to organize something like a boot camp for husbands as it will take a while until we can clone people I guess ;)
Henry right
How’s your iron levels? If you are even slightly anaemic it can make you feel lightheaded and breathless
They were low - I'm on an iron supplement :)
Since you have an idea as to where the babies are located in your belly, do you have a guess on which one will be born first?😊
Are you taking maternity leave soon? You have no stretch marks either! 😊
The second I don't feel comfortable working, I'll stop. My job is very "low impact" so I'm just playing it by ear :)
Do you think I'd have stretch marks by now? I'm hoping I may escape them, but I know I still have a long way to go!
I worked until my 8th month. 8/18 And gave birth 9/18 with first baby. My 2nd until 7 months. I had two babies one 9lbs and one 7lbs 7oz and I did not get any stretch marks. I think they start to appear around 5 months along.
I can't get over what a cute tiny bump you....lol
You should get sized at Destination Maturnity. 😉💗👍
Hi
You look wonderful! Now go enjoy some ice cream.
I'll do that! haha
