My girlfriend entered her 24 week yesterday, she having a girl and I'm so happy watching these videos has helped me to understand what my girlfriend and my baby are going through.

Baby is more restricted?? Lmao ok tell that to my son 😂 he frequently kicks at 12 pm, 11 pm, and 3 am every day, never misses lol he even kicks my bladder as soon as I wake up o.o
Great videos, I watch them week by week on the first day I enter into the particular week, so I welcome that week with your videos. :) Thank you so much for posting them. :)
If you are worried the glucose test can be done at any time in pregnancy as it is necessary to know whether you have gestational diabetes. If your urine test is not testing positive for increased sugar then you are likely ok. Please contact your doctor.
Hi Vanessa, Thank you for contacting us. Yes a UTI may be the cause of your spotting but I would bring this to the attention of your doctor who can reassure you that all is well. Kind regards Monica
Dear Nabeela, Thanks for writing. Glad you are enjoying the videos. It sounds like you have a flu but it's hard for me to tell over youtube. I would suggest speaking to a doctor if you are worried. A doctor will be able to help you much better by seeing you in person. Let us know how it goes.
Hi Shalom, it depends on hospitals, the minimum they offer is 1 scan. This however can very from hospital to hospital and from country to country. There is no restriction on the amount of ultrasounds that you can have really. Ultrasound is safe and painless, and produces pictures of the inside of the body using sound waves. I hope this helps. Kind regards
Thank you so much. This is my second pregnancy so i kinda no more then i did with my son. My first pregnancy my son was born at 26 weeks 2lbs 5oz so im high risk now. And get progesterone injections weekly. And om 25 weeks 4 days!! Yay. Pretty sure om going full term. And thank you. Your videos are the most imformative week by week pregnancy video ive ever seen i loveee it
Dear Nally, thanks so much for writing. It's been a pleasure creating the videos. I didn't realize my name ment advisor, wow, how appropriate haha, glad I could help. Let us know if you would like to see any other videos. Kindly, Monica
Glad you enjoy the videos! Thanks for writing. Baby can be awake at various times of the day and night and it doesn't really mean they will be a morning person or not. Enjoy.
Hello Jade, Thank you for contacting us. As long as you feel the baby every day don't worry about the strength of the movements. Movements can be stronger or weaker dependent upon baby's position. There are no reliable ways to figure out the gender except by an ultrasound. The rest as you say are just that....old wives tales. Kind regards Monica
Hello Marwa, thank you for contacting us. Hyperpigmentation is common in pregnancy. This darkening of the skin can happen across the breasts and underarms as well. It can be more prominent in some women, dependant upon race and skin tones. This will fade after pregnancy. If you are concerned please ask you doctor. Kind regards Monica
Hi Shaunachurch, Thank you for contacting us. It can sometimes be difficult to get a baby to move when they have found a comfortable spot. Try lightly massaging your upper abdomen where his feet are to get him to move his legs. You can also try getting on all fours this usually helps baby turn as well. Congratulations on your pregnancy. Kind regards Monica
thank you. soooo much for this wonderfull videos. i have been watching them since i was 4 weeks pregnant. i got more infos from you than my doctor,every time i watch you i fell excited and happy
Thanks to your videos, im 24 week pregnant. Your videos help a lot since I am a first time mom. Have been going through changes in my body and I get worried at times.
Thank you so much for the beneficial information. i'm 24 week pregnant and i really miss seeing my little prince. i'm trying to know when he wakes up or sleeps but till now i couldn't ! I hope that delivery would be easy , enjoyable and natural !
I just lost my baby at 24 weeks (stillbirth)... Preeclampsia came and progressed so fast and by the time the doctor's ran tests on me and then the day I came back for my test results the baby was gone that day.. I just want my baby back and it really sucks I am going through all the health problems of bad Preeclampsia when I did everything I could to try and avoid it.
m0nkey Yeah true.. I literally avoided caffeine, fast foods, candy.. And I ate tofu often, fruits, veggies, salads, unaffiliated tea, lots of water, and etc.. It sucks that she died during 6 1/2 months of pregnancy. I blame the doctor's because I saw 4 different ones and then kept sending me home saying I was fine and the baby was. And none of them tested me until 2 days before my daughter died and the doctor was rude to me and told me to drink more water and everything would be fine but then I went to another doctor a couple days later and she was gone and 2 doctors told me that day that her heart stopped beating and the radiologist then took pictures and said my baby hadn't grown for 4 weeks. How did those awful doctors not notice she was so behind in growth if they measured her every time I saw them and went to the radiologist on two different occasions while she was alive? It's definitely their fault cause they could have listened to me and helped me and my daughter and given her growth hormones so she could have been born early and survived. No one else I know who ended up getting severe Preeclampsia disease lost their baby (all their doctors listened to them and their babies lived).
Thanks for your time Monica, this is good information, it helps me to understand what is my baby going through week by week which helps me to feel more connected with my baby. By the way, I like your name it means "advisor" and you really are :)
Thank you for very informative videos, I'm first time pregnant and in past I'd 3 miscarriages. Right now I'm 24 weeks pregnant, since 2nd trimester I'm constantly getting yeast infection, my doctor in Germany has prescribed me antibiotics which helped me to get rid of itchiness but I'm still odorless thick green discharge and went to 2 other gynecologists while my doctor was on vacation & what they prescribed me also didn't help. I also take Vaginal Flora tabs & use PH safety stuff but in vain.
I watch your videos with my first baby and now Im 24 weeks watching your video honestly i like the way you explain every things week by week :) Thank you very much .
Great video...im only a few days away from 24 weeks! Loving my growing bump! I definatly not less tired, im exhausted at moody at times lol...but i can't wait to meet my little girl :)
I never made it to my 24th weeks. I started dilating in my 23rd week and didn't even know. My baby was breeched so I had no choice but to have her. she was suppose to be here 2/19/14 but she was born October 25, 2013. 4 months early. She is in Jackson getting cared for and I'm here in Meridian. It hurts like hell but she is getting better day by day. But its very stressful for me. My first pregnancy and I never made it to the end. How did I not know that... It just hurts my heart
Thanks Kristen! Congrats on week 24. Thanks for watching and writing. Let me know if there are any other videos you would like to see! Kindly, Monica xo
Really enjoyed watching this, I'm 24 weeks in my second pregnancy, I'm expecting my son December 9th. I had a normal vaginal delivery last time but I am still scared of losing my baby to Stillborn. Can anyone shed some light on how to stop feeling so anxious? xx
Just had a chance to watch your video I love how informative you are I'm 24 weeks is that 6 months I'm still confused about what week equals what month.
this video is very informative thank you. i am just now 24th week and i am feeling very sick and vomiting again in this month,my abdomen has increased very much and i am feeling lots of pain in lower tummy and at left side my tummy is swollen but not at right side,is it any problem?.
Im 24 weeks and 2 days. Im really skinny and my little boy has an obsession with pushing up to the front of my belly and it really hurts. Is there any way that i can keep him from doing it as much or get him to not push as hard?
Hello Monica, Thanks for your informative videos. I am now 24 weeks pregnant and I have noticed that my breasts colour turned darker... I mean the whole breast became darker.. I am wondering if this is natural or I have to check it with a doctor. Thanks again, Marwa.
I love your videos!! Im 24 weeks and im wondering if im 6 months pregnant already? My baby loves to move and kick me, especically in the night time. Does that mean he is not going to be a morning person and be up all night???

jazzcan figo Thanks for the comment! Unfortunately, I don't know how to answer your question but please speak to your healthcare provider. Thanks again. xo
I have a question. Im 24 weeks now and i noticed light Spotting when I pee. Is this bad??? I'm worried and I'm afraid this might be serious, I had a UTI before and it made me bleed when peeing so I believe it might be the cause of spotting
hello doctor ! I'm 24 weeks and 1 day today , 3 days ago I can't clearly notice my baby kicks and movement, but prior to that last Monday I had an ultrasound and it was normal ,heart beat 135 beats/ minute / anterior placenta! is it normal that after my ultrasound, I can't feel my baby move?thanks and God bless Doctor Monica
My girlfriend entered her 24 week yesterday, she having a girl and I'm so happy watching these videos has helped me to understand what my girlfriend and my baby are going through.
I'm 24 weeks today & I am experiencing frequent urination, tired all the time, mood swings, & hungry all day. Can't wait until my baby girl be here.
I'm 24 weeks with twins Dr says I'm doing great! Praying for the rest of my journey to be just as great!

It can sometimes be difficult to get a baby to move when they have found a comfortable spot. Try lightly massaging your upper abdomen where his feet are to get him to move his legs. You can also try getting on all fours this usually helps baby turn as well.

Lauren Kayy it's not your fault- the healthiest person I know with extremely good habits had preeclampsia. Hope you are doing ok, loss is the worst.

I never know if I should watch the videos for 24 or 25 weeks, if I'm 24+2 for example. Is that the video for 24 or 25 weeks? Im so confused still :)
thank you very much

I have a question. Im 24 weeks now and i noticed light Spotting when I pee. Is this bad??? I'm worried and I'm afraid this might be serious, I had a UTI before and it made me bleed when peeing so I believe it might be the cause of spotting
i really love your videos 😍❤
hello doctor ! I'm 24 weeks and 1 day today , 3 days ago I can't clearly notice my baby kicks and movement, but prior to that last Monday I had an ultrasound and it was normal ,heart beat 135 beats/ minute / anterior placenta! is it normal that after my ultrasound, I can't feel my baby move?thanks and God bless Doctor Monica
Shiela mendoza That could be because of the position of the placenta. It's hard to feel baby kick when the placenta blocks the foot from your tummy.
