- My 20 Week Anatomy Scan| Vlog. Ep. 12!
My Pregnancy Journey.
Hey Momo’s! Wow. What an exciting week it’s been for baby Luca! We were soooo pumped to go to his anatomy scan and see him! 😍 he’s the absolute most perfect, cutest little guy ever if I do say so myself! Hehehe. 💁🏻♀️ the scan went so well. But they did have some concerns relating to my placenta. So I share about that. I also thought I’d share some of the most frequent products I’ve been using during the pregnancy and also some of the books I’m reading! Thanks for hanging with me!

I struggled to breastfeed my oldest for three weeks before we finally got it down! It was 100% worth it even on the hardest days. With my second I expected it to be worse because she was born with craniofacial deformities but she actually latched on and fed with no issues from the start! Every baby is different and you are doing the right thing by preparing now- I so wish I had! So glad for a clean bill of health for you and baby!
I see Morgan's smile on him. Awww..God bless Luca and keep him healthy
Aww hehe 😊
Morgan's nose and Paul's grin :)) so precious!!
😄💜
So many helpful pregnancy tips! Thank you Morgan ❤️
The mama natural week by week guide was my fave! I also love her week by week videos for each week, and her birth course! 💕
Yesss!
I recomend to use a full hydratant treatment for your legs. Try to use an hydrating gel, then a serum after shower, and seal it with an oil. Aloe vera, coconut oil (at least for the body) and rosehip are extremely helpful ingredients :D
Love Mama Natural. I'm not a mom nor planning to be one but I loveee Mama Natural. I've been following her youtube channel for years.
Still so happy for you both!! Now so happy for you three!!😁💕💕
Hi Morgan! I've been following you and Paul on you tube a bit and so excited for you guys on your pregnancy! I am glad little Luca is healthy! In my first pregnancy I was anemic too and pretty tired so I understand that one. I am currently pregnant with my second and hoping I don't get anemic. As far as breastfeeding one thing that would be extremely helpful is if you have a lactation consultant check your son out of oral ties ( lip, tongue and cheek) very soon after birth. My son had 4 of them, upper lip tie, 2 upper cheek ties, and an tongue tie. My son went 3 months undiagnosed. Because of the oral ties my son could bearly latch on me or bottle. So breastfeeding was a nightmare for me. But we finally found a really lactation consultant that finally found the oral ties and were able to get the oral tie release surgery. I ended up having to formula feed. I just thought I'd let you know about getting your son check out for oral ties just in case. I'd hate for you to go through an awful breastfeeding experience. Oh I thought one time you stated that you guys live in Kentucky. I'm not sure were. But so do me and my husband and I found a really good lactation consultant in Louisville. Her name is Bonnie Logdson from Bonnie Knows Breast.
No worries girl! I also had a low lying placenta at my 20 week scan. By 28 weeks it was moved out of the way and I was good to go. Just trust in God and everything will be OK. 😊💙
Morgan: "now that I'm pumped!"
Subtitles: "now that I'm pooped!"
BAHAHAH! 😂👏🏼
Perhaps try changing the order of the products, put on lotion and the oil over that. That is the usual way dermatologists recommend it because oil is the one that seals in the moisture, the lotion being the one that actually supplies the hydration and moisture on top of it would have a hard time penetrating. I'm not sure what would be the reasoning behind doing it the way your sister said.
Luca is a wittle cutie!🥰 Also, I'm a Genevive! I did a double-take when you said her name! I never hear my name! It's too French for the US!😂 Praying for a nice, safe pregnancy!💖💖💖
Haha love it! Thank you!!
I planned a natural birth, I had a Doula, took my mother natural courses and I ended up having a gentle C-section because I held on up until 42 weeks and my son had no intention of coming out, but since it was in my control and handed my labor over to god. It was the most beautiful and spiritual experience I ever had. I had my gospel music playing in the ER singing top of my lungs I will trust in the Lord. I pray you have the most godly and spiritual birth that connects you to our father no matter the outcome you have the birth experience that connects you ♥️♥️♥️♥️. Your son is perfect!
Love your dress! Has a very 60's vibe! Luca is adorable! I can't believe he already has so much personality in his face!
My cousin is having a baby in July (her first!), and I'm trying to decide what to get her. She hasn't made a registry and there's so many items that people have differing opinions on (like pacifiers, carriers, etc). I was wondering if you had any suggestions! Like are there baby items that you think any new Mom would be happy to get?
Thank you girl! Yesss very 60s/70s! 😄
I know heheh so sweet!
Hmmm…. I have had several people get me some items from Brixton Phoenix or Lou Lou and Company and I have LOVED everything. I didn’t register for any of those things. But they’re sooo soft and neutral that it’s so sweet. They also have blankets and things like that. So she might really enjoy something from one of those places. 😊💁🏻♀️
@@MorganOlli Thank you! I will check them out!😃💖
I’m glad you and baby are doing wonderful girly! I love Hinds Feet🐑 soo good! Also maybe give “Mothers Blend” a try. It’s an all natural blend of oils. Won’t leave your skin oily and it smells like almond. It helps with keeping your skin firm too. Plus you can use it when your breast feeding and after baby. God bless you sweetheart!
I watched another UA-camr and she had placenta previa but it moved on it’s own, I had a low lying placenta but mine wasn’t covering my cervix it was covering my c section scar and they were worried that it had grew through my scar and attached to my bladder but luckily it didn’t and I had an amazing vaginal birth 4 weeks ago today!!
Hey just a tip for the macchiato: if you ask for it upside down, it’s shaken up for you and that’s one less struggle to have to mix it with the straw haha
Absolutely love your mama tank! I do embroidery and I make sweatshirts with a cute varsity style font that says MAMA with the baby’s name embroidered underneath. I would LOVE to make you one 😍
Awww! I would love that so much! 🥹🥲
My placenta was low lying and I actually bled but all was well…except for the bed rest…and I had a vaginal birth. And that was 36 years ago!
😄💜🙏🏼
Gotta love these grandma nicknames 😂 my mom chose nana when my first nephew was born about 14 years ago! My girls followed that pattern as well.
&& morgan im hoping for the best possible outcome for the low placenta, but know that if it comes down to needing a cesarean it seems scary for sure but it will go perfectly fine 💙 both my girls were cesarean (since im a petite momma who was unknowingly growing a 9lb 23in giant girl and her big ole head pinched the cervix so one small section of the cervix didn't go past 8cm when the rest of it was fully 10cm dilated...) Tbh... After the 27 hours of labor(with only ice chips to crunch on) with that complication, plus her vitals started to drop little by little I was READY for that cesarean. 😂 Plus seeing there little faces washes away any of the pain of labor which ever way they come into this world. but i know my complication does not happen to alot of women so definitely don't let it scare ya 😍😀
Hi Momo’s! How cute is baby Luca?? Hehehe Got any good products you wanna share? Comment below and let us know!
Ina May Gaskin's guide to childbirth has some amazing natural birth stories that really encouraged me in my journey to natural birth
Also I got super itchy and it turned out to be PUPPPs pregnancy rash and it lasted for me from 28 weeks until 7 weeks postpartum it was awful
Where is that orange purple top from in the last scene of your video?? 😍
SAME with the itchy legs since 8 or 9 weeks!! Everyone thinks l'm crazy, but l know it's related to the pregnancy.
100% related. Also drinking lots of water is very helpful! 💜
It'll be fine no matter what! C-sections are super common and a very routine procedure, if you need to have one they'll know what they're doing. Just enjoy the pregnancy!
I had a marginal placenta previa at my 20 week appointment and by the 28 week check it was fully grown away from the cervix so don’t stress everything will be okay 🙏🏼 in Jesus name you will birth the way you want to birth and it will be a healthy labor for mommy and baby ❤️
even the dog is scared of paul
Oh yeah. Just terrified.
I get PUPPS rash with all my pregnancies. They've decreased in intensity with each pregnancy though. My third I was able to manage quickly. Products I found useful for itchiness were charcoal soap and just keeping ice packs on my skin. Itchiness while pregnant truly is horrible 🙈
Poor Squishy gets crated when you are out? Is it potty accident prevention or no trust of mischievousness? lol
So beautiful!!! 😭😭 God bless you guys ❤️
Thank you💜🙏🏼
So fun to see little Luca! He is so precious already! On the topic of itching, I had some intense itching so had to go crazy with oils and everything. It got to the point where I brought it up in an appointment and they had me checked for cholestasis since intense itchiness is the main indicator. All was fine thank God but so glad I got checked! But the itchiness drove me insaaaane 🙃 so I can empathize!
And you’re very wise for doing your research and educating yourself on breastfeeding. I wish I had done that more. It was not what I expected it to be for sure.
Yeah, my midwife said in all clear so it’s just itchiness from needing to drink more water and my skin stretching hahah. Bleehhh!!
Thanks girl! 💜
@@MorganOlli good! Hang in there! I know the itchiness can drive a mama insane 😅
Yes the mama natural book👏🏼🙌🏼 I’m due about 6 weeks after you! Doing a home birth with my first and it’s a greattttt book
Hey I'm due about 7 weeks after her! Yay 🤩🙌
Hey Morgan, is it possible that you may need to drink more water to relieve the extreme itching on your legs? We also need to hydrate on inside, too. Just a thought!
Drinking lots of water definitely helps too! 😊
My tummy was really itchy during pregnancy; I got to the point of putting vix and bengay muscle rub on my skin because the menthol helped. Maybe look into something menthol- I swear it was the only thing that helped and obviously I was DESPERATE since I went to the extreme of putting those two things there! 😆
So excited to hear that you and baby are so so healthy! I can definitely agree that breastfeeding was much more than I expected but my advice is that it’s hard until it isn’t. Troubleshoot and just spend time being intentional with latch and noticing where baby or you can improve! I wasn’t sure if we would make it past that first month but we’re 9 months going strong thank the Lord! I had supply issues and my son had a tongue tie and upper lip tie that we waited to reverse and I just prayed prayed prayed that my supply would go up and we would have just enough to nourish him. God is good like that!
Love it! So glad that happened for you girl 💜🙏🏼
Were you feeling any stress or anxiety when the itching began?
I had very itchy skin as a result of stress. There’s a name for this type of symptom. I was able to recognize that my body was telling me I was under too much stress when the itching flared and through prayer and not scratching the symptoms subsided.
Paul could try eating fiber one bars to get more fiber. There's one that, I believe, has 9 grams of fiber per bar.
I've met Genevieve Howland at a midwife conference years ago, she's amazing! Love her book. 😊
Aww that’s awesome!
Mama Natural is great 😊
Yes!!
He looks alot like Paul :D
😄💜
so crazy you have the same due date as my sister-in-law 😂🤍 I went to her anatomy scan with her yesterday! The COOLEST experience ever!
Awww so sweet!! Seriously amazing😄🥲
The doctors originally thought that I would be a girl, and they were wrong once they noticed something pop out. (though that was in the early 90s)
Ohh where did you get the orange and pink dress 👀
Target 😄
I would get a 2nd opinion just in case. Little Luca looks so darling. God is above all and nothing is impossible. Just "believe".
I’m not worried about it. 😊
I have had very low iron throughout my pregnancy. I took Chlorophyll for a while but beef liver pills are the thing that has seemed to help the most. I am 32 weeks pregnant and finally getting some energy!
Wouldn't beef liver pills have vitamin A in it? Vitamin A can cause congenital malformations, its toxic to the foetus.
So glad you’re getting energy back! 💜
Praying your placenta moves! Placenta previa is very serious but I believe God can move it for you!
Thank you! They said it’s not previa but could become that. So we’re praying against that. I’m not worried about it 😊
Most prenatals have enough iron, dont they?
Lotion that entire body - I got strectch marks on the back of my arms!!!
Not enough 😊 for me anyways haha
Nooo Morgan! Don’t drink that satan coffee!!!
Your baby will be so cute! I watch a lot of channels where Christian couples are expecting babies.
💜💜💜
I have never heard this from anyone but I have myself convinced that stretch marks are a result of nutrition, not genetics. What is a baby made of/built with? What is your skin made of? If you aren’t eating enough of that then the baby wins and your skin looses.
They LOVE scaring us. I haven’t taken my sugar test and the doctor I saw (mine wasn’t in) started talking about baby dying. And it helps them feel comfortable knowing the results which is fine but to bring up baby dying is so bizarre. God’s children go through a lot when it comes to pregnancy. My sister has 6 kids and a testimony for each one. I have 3 kids but this is my first pregnant in Christ, and i can see the major difference. The enemy definitely always looking for who to devour and he hates pregnant women.
In sweden you only do those sugar tests if you have an indication you need it. You dont just do it on every woman. If you have pregnancy diabetes you have other things that indicate that and then if you have that you get the sugar test.
@@karolinaastrom1469 wow that’s great, i have 3 boys and they had me do it for each one smh. And I do not like it 😭😭
@@ashleyventura3111 yeah i have never done one and I think I would throw up!
I think its crazy that your doctor said that your baby could die if you dont do the test.
I mean only the ones that they really think have diabetes need to do them here and my doctors have never talked about it as an issue.
@@karolinaastrom1469 I’m going to bring up that point and just refuse. The issue here in America is that doctors talk to you a certain way so that you think you can’t refuse certain tests especially pregnant women. They love to scare us.
@@ashleyventura3111 in sweden you always meet with a midwife and at the start of a pregnancy you take a little blod from your finger to se what your usuall blodsugar is, you do that to compare to later in the pregnancy to se if you have higher blodsugar. Its later in the pregnancy you can develop diabetes and if you have your normal blodsugar to compare to you can se if you need to take that test you are forced to. Only a small procent of women need to do that.
But if you are a young mother with no health complications, a normal weight and eating habits you are at low risk. Our doctors are good at informing what are risk factors for diabetes and preklampsia etc. So we can tell our midwife if we notice something new, and she canhelpusgetan apointment with a doctor (our helthcare is free during pregnancy and the birth but we usally only meet the doctor a couple of times. Sweden dont have the same system to se a doctor but our midwifes have 6 years education instead.
If you dont need all extra procedueres you should not be bullied to have them if the blodtests show that nothing is alarming!
I have never met a doctor that wanted to scare me to do something... thats horrible becuse you of course want to do everything for your baby!
Take care and make your own informed choices 🥰
The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding is AMAZING. It’s dated, but that’s GOOD IMO.
I also HIGHLY recommend tallow balm! So good for your skin AND baby!
Yaayyy! Hahahah totally agree!
Interesting!
