it’s so funny bc you’ve gotten used to the news and being pregnant while we’re over here freaking out every 45 seconds bc it’s not sunk in yet!!! i’m so happy for you guys
It's so crazy how our "life milestones" have matched up girl. Got married in June, moved to another state and bought a home a year later and in August on our first try, we got pregnant. May babies! Congratulations girl
I think what Finley said is a great thought for giving birth as well! He’s gonna be so sweet when you’re in labor, and is clearly a great example of how to support and be helpful throughout pregnancy as a partner
When I go through big life changes I have dreams about people or places from my past too! I feel like it’s a way of making peace with your past/ story to make room for the future.. learning from the little ways you wanted to do something but held yourself back, or the little ways you wish you stood up for yourself but didn’t. Period dreams and pregnancy dreams are usually pretty interesting and powerful
I feel like my long time bestie is pregnant. So happy your talking about the realness of pregnancy. When I had my first baby I was getting sick constantly and literally got sick the entire time up to birth. No one told me it wasn’t just “morning sickness”. It’s all day baby. I had no idea what to expect but that was not it. I also had to sleep 24/7. I couldn’t stay awake to save my life. I just keep reminding myself my body is literally growing a whole ass human being. When I had my second I wasn’t nearly as sick and I had so much more energy. Thank god cause I had to chase a toddler around which I didn’t have to do the first time around. Once you have your baby Meg it all will be a distance memory. So happy for you and Fin!
So happy for you, Meghan and Finn. 🎉 I have a 9 week old daughter and she is very cherished and was very wanted. I had no idea how prevalent baby blues and PPD was before having her. The first three weeks postpartum, I desperately needed my mom. The downward surge of all of our hormones after birth is so big and can feel so so overwhelming. Something to consider is having your mom come up and stay during that time. You might really need her like I needed my mommy (even though I’m now I mommy, lol). I am so happy you are feeling better! Merry vlogmas!
@@meghanhughes that’s awesome! My mom was also at my birth, along with my husband. I truly needed both of their energies and support during labor. ❤️ I saw that you have Ina May Gaskin’s guide to natural childbirth, and I credit that book to helping me have minimal intervention birth! I love all the positive stories in the first half!! We are more powerful than we often give ourselves credit. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts about birth (if you’re open to sharing) in future videos.
@@meghanhughes Yes! Having my mom around the first few weeks was so crucial for me. My partner is amazing but sometimes you just need your mommy. So happy for you! I’ve watched you forever ♥️
I agree! Your partner supports you in a different way than your mama can. It’s such a joy experiencing that with her as welll and seeing her be a mom and grandma at the same time in the beginning really helps keep your head above water honestly.
i used to watch your vlogs when i was in highschool and any time ive felt lonely throughout my life, im so happy you’re doing vlogmas this year and we get the privilege of seeing into your pregnancy journey🥹 i love you meg!!!
Been watching since 2015 when I was 13. Seeing you and fin get together, get engaged, get married move, buy a house and start a family is literally so and beautiful, thank you for sharing your life! Congratulations so happy for you guys
Thanks for sharing your symptoms and experience! I feel like so many people try to hide how they’re feeling and/or only share the good parts but as someone who wants nothing more than to have some babies- this stuff is important to know!! So thanks and hoping you feel better these days 🫶🏼
So happy for you two!!! From a very old mom: Pregnancy is hard work; do what you feel is best, listen to your body and take good care of yourself, taking care of yourself is taking care of the baby, don't push yourself to cook or clean, momma and baby come first, all the rest will wait. Also, "The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy" by Vicki Iovine was my favorite, back in the day:)
currently 8 weeks pregnant w my first eepp!! 🎉so excited to get advice from you on this journey 🫶🏻 the nausea and vomiting is off the charts for me but trying to hang in there, you seeming semi fine now makes me look forward to the future! Congrats 🥹, can't wait to see more about this journey from you!🫶🏻
no TMI whatsoever!. I do not want kids but I love hearing all the info!!! I am so excited for this next chapter in your guys life thanks for including us ❤
So excited to watch your pregnancy journey (alongside my own)! I’m 27 weeks! My first trimester this time around was a literal nightmare 🫣 I still have nausea in the mornings… this boy is tryna kill me but we can’t wait for our little girl to have a brother! Can’t wait to see what you’re having! 🤍
I’m so excited for vlogmas!!🎄 And for this babe!!🥹 I’ve been trying to film my own vlogmas but my life isn’t the most exciting lol but you constantly inspire me to just film my simple life nonetheless🫶 I send you all the best wishes!
I am so so happy for you both!! Preggy pops got me through my first trimester. I’m currently 25 weeks so I 100% feel you. The back pain I experienced before I knew is something I didn’t know was so common before finding out you’re pregnant. I’m happy you’re able to look at everything you experienced during your first trimester as neither a good or bad thing. This is definitely a perspective I’m going to adapt because I’d say my first trimester was very similar to yours!! Wishing you the best throughout your pregnancy journey 🤍✨
Ahhh so excited for vlogmas and baby updates! 😭 I remember watching vlogmas in 2015?/16? And now I’m 23 and married, so glad I grew up watching you all these years :’)
Thank you for sharing this part of yourself with us Meg! I feel lucky to be here. I’m in a similar phase of life and i feel like this is a safe space for me. Love ya. 🫶🏻
As a momma of two girls, and someone that has watched you since your high school makeup vids, I’m so excited for you, Finley and this journey! You are going to be such a loving, supportive and patient mom. And Finley will be the most protective, playful and caring dad. 🥰🥰 parenthood will look so beautiful on both of you! I can’t wait to follow along and thank you for sharing, Meghan. 🫶🏻
Pretty happy about this years vlogmas, as new mama myself 2 months in, still spending lots of time holding the baby all day on the couch. And THIS IS ENTERTAINMENT ❤❤❤
So this is probably my third time watching. I came back to this video after finding out I was pregnant. I'm currently at 7 weeks and the feelings of depression are soo real. Thank you for being so open about your journey. I resonate so much with how you felt at these weeks as well and it has brought me peace to not feel so alone. ❤
So many of the people I watch on UA-cam are pregnant right now and I love it so much! My partner and I are not ready to have children yet but I’m definitely watching all of y’all and enjoying every second of the pregnancy talks ❤
Hearing a play by play of your symptoms has been so validating! I’m a few weeks behind you and I haven’t heard anyone describe the way I’ve felt in such a clear way. No one ever goes into detail…they always just say they didn’t feel well and move on. Congratulations!!
I had the first trimester depression too Im 35 weeks and its so nice to see other people go through the same phases congrats you guys are going to be the best parents
I can’t wait until you feel the first kick. It’s so magical. That was my favorite part of pregnancy. I went to work at 5am when I was pregnant & every morning around 6am my son would kick me & it was like he was saying good morning to me every day. 🤗🥰❤
Rewatching this because I am 11 weeks and still struggling with nausea and sickness, I’m just mentally having a really hard time :( thanks for talking about it, it helps to know I’m not alone and that I will feel better
When I was in my first pregnancy during the first trimester I had the same symptoms. There was a metallic taste when I ate eggs and I couldn't eat anything. I vomited a lot and when I started to eat I could only eat chili cheese fries from Wendy's. I felt guilty that the food I could eat was unhealthy and fast food, but I watched this one lady talk about how all she could eat was burgers from McDonald's and she said at least she was eating something and feeding her and her baby ❤️❤️ it really changed my perspective and turned things around. There were still moments where id just cry because I felt like I was depriving my baby, but she turned out fine and now she's going to be 2 on new years 🥺 Growing a baby is hard, but the most precious thing and the most rewarding experience 💗 I'm happy you have such incredible support 💕 you guys are already amazing parents ❤️❤️
Yoga helped me so much during my pregnancy. I had “morning sickness” in the afternoon and I would get home from work do a 30 minute yoga session and feel immediately better. Yoga also helps with labor.
I’m pregnant too!! 😮 Due end of January ❤ so many UA-camr’s I watch are pregnant right now after years of trying and we now all have our little miracles coming! It’s nice to watch people living similar life stories so I feel like I have a community!! Especially someone around my age and incredibly excited as well! I hope all goes well with your little one and you both have a healthy pregnancy and labor and delivery!! Happy Holidays from me and my little girl 😊
I am SO HAPPY for you!!! And appreciate you being honest about not having the greatest 1st trimester! I had a similar experience of being nauseous 24/7 and also bleeding…and it was hard on my mental health! Now in my 3rd trimester and so excited to meet our little human ❤
So much love to you and Finley! I’m so happy that you have such a strong rock in your life to take things on when you’re not feeling well. And thank you for being so honest about your journey ❤❤
My friend literally only ate Weetbix (bland australian wheat cereal) for her first and second trimester because it was all she could stomach. I think she struggled but was just very honest about it and got through and now she doesn't even think about it. This has prepared me that I could easily be that sick too when I am pregnant. I think it's so good seeing those realistic and difficult experiences.
I am sooo happy for you guys! Pregnancy is amazing and being a mom is amazing and seeing your partner become a dad is FRICKIN AMAZING so I am soooo excited for you to experience it!!! ❤❤
Just started my third trimester and I’m due in late Feb! So exited for you guys. I had great luck easing my nausea with b12 preggo pops. I’m glad you have such a lovely support system during this wild ride. I keep telling everyone that every day is different but it really does feel that way. I’ve tried to reframe it as a lesson in being mindful of the moment and being present. I will say, it’s ok to feel completely worn out and not ok, our bodies are doing wild stuff. Hope you’re hanging in there!
sooo happy to be able to enjoy this new journey with you and thank you for sharing your experiences with us 💖 i'm looking forward to learning more about having kids as i'm still putting off starting a family for at least a few more years!!
The first trimester was so hard for me too. I’m so glad you are feeling better! When I started feeling baby moving, that’s when the magic of it all really kicked in for me. Women are fuckin incredible! I hope you continue to feel good Meghan! 🫶🏻✨
Love hearing your pregnancy journey with all the highs and lows❤️ continuing to live vicariously through you until I’m ready to have my own lil peanuts🥹❤️
Meg, I just gotta say, you and Finley’s relationship is so pure and I could not be more excited for the both of you!! I’ve been watching since the miss Megan makeup days and I’m so happy for how life has gone for you!! Lots of love my hippy ❤❤
It's so exciting, motherhood and fatherhood couldn't pick a more better couple to experience this! 🥹 I'm a mother of 4, 28 yrs old. And your videos and vlogmas have definitely helped me druing my pregnancies, in between. So happy for you Megan ❤
I am so excited for you guys! I've watched your channel since high school and this announcement made my heart leap. You are going to be the most wonderful parents. When we started getting more Finn features a few months ago I was thinking "wow this is great, it feels like I'm watching 'This Old House!'" I loved that you were offering us different perspectives on the renovation and had NO IDEA it was related to the pregnancy!! You sly dogs. Thank you for sharing this journey, merry Vlogmas
I started watching you when I was pregnant with my now two year old daughter (who loves to watch your piggies!) and I am so excited to follow along on your pregnancy journey and your new life in VT. We are actually going to VT on Christmas to look at some places to buy and your videos about Vermont get me so pumped to go.
😂. I have love to hear pregnancy talk. I am 62 and mine are grown and now I get the excitement as each grandchild is born. I will say whatever you go through during pregnancy in the end you hold that baby and it all disappears.
Hearing about your pregnancy journey is so fun!! It's like a total flashback for me, I remember so many of these symptoms vividly and my daughter is now 7!!! Just some words of encouragement, the first trimester (from my experience and what I've heard and read) is the toughest. You still have symptoms throughout, but that first trimester feels like a flu that lasts for months but after that it is soooooo much better and of course absolutely worth it despite being so challenging ✨💛✨
I feel like I found your channel at such a cool time! I will never have children but I adore the process and look forward to seeing your life progress and evolve! 10/10 on authenticity! 🫶🏻💫
I suffered with nausea during my pregnancy… I used peppermints. It’s a great time of year for candy canes … peppermint is a natural sedative for nausea 👍
Mama Meg is literally all I’ve been waiting for. I cannot wait to hear all about your journey. I have a 3 year old Daughter so this is sooo exciting!!! ❤❤❤
So happy for you Meghan! It really is like seeing a friend have a baby 🥹 I just had my baby girl Guinevere in early September. It's such a rollercoaster but even when things get hard I found with a supportive partner we could laugh through the tough things and hold onto the bright moments. They are only so tiny for so long. Just remember to find time for yourself as you can. It's hard but really important. Everyone will have opinions on what to do and not do; research what you can and listen to advice from people you love if you want to, but YOU make the choices on bub. This was the most difficult thing for me but a safe, healthy, happy babe is all that matters. Sending you so, so much love from one new mumma to another.
I can totally relate to your first trimester with my last pregnancy! I actually got some depression and ptsd from the sickness. It’s very real! If it gives you any hope I’m currently pregnant again in my first trimester and it’s been better so far!! I’m hopeful that you’re future pregnancies will be easier ❤
I so love your Vlogmas videos and, Congratulations to both you and Finly on the baby. All the food looks so yummy--the bread, the waffles, the Thai. That Christmas tree is so beautiful and, the dogs and pigs are always so cute. :o)🦮🐕🐖💚
watching vlogmas is gonna have me smacking myself in the face over and over like NO. you did this. you are one and done. you do not need to be sick every day for 9 months again. 😅😅😅 also, weird about how they track!!!! i knew i was pregnant cause i felt the implantation (and had the sickness) and was sick from moment of conception. wishing for a healthy homestead baby coming your way!!!!!! goodluck mama and dada!!!!!! 💛💛💛💛
My baby girl is turning 20 months in a few days but I remember the first two trimesters with her SO VIVIDLY. Nausea and sickness was constant. Preggie Pop Drops were very helpful. They’re hard candies made with essential oils and could be helpful for you if nausea still plagues you!
Thanks so much for sharing how your first trimester went. Unfortunately with my son I was sick the entire pregnancy. I had hyperemesis gravidarum. I'm so glad to know you are starting to feel better! Pregnancy is full of so many new feelings, so many ups and downs, but the biggest blessing nonetheless. My husband and I conceived on the first try too. ❤
Lol meghan pregnancy dreams are WILD! i've had it with both of kids lol. Also i had like a metal taste with drinking water it sucked and i love water! I had my husband buy me different water at one point and during my pregnancy our water was filtered with our berkey.
ahhhhh im so excited for you guys!! i had been suspecting that something was up for a few weeks but obviously everyone’s journey w fertility is different so i wasnt gonna be like are you pregnant? cuz i think thats rude. i cant wait to watch this journey w you an fin! so happy to say ive been here since basically the start of missmeghanmakeup!!!
Meghan, watching this content is cranking my baby crazy all the way up. My fiance and I are getting married this coming March, and the plan is to start trying shortly thereafter. Multiple content creators I follow are pregnant right now, and I feel like a child waiting for Santa to come!
Agree with the zinc, I couldn't do it with my pregnancies and then it started up again after menopause... crazy stuff, glad the pregnancy bootcamp is getting better, cherish the next weeks... Hugs~ Lea
Just to help out my ladies with morning sickness. Morning sickness is only because of low magnesium levels. Check your levels or take vitamins or foods high in magnesium. Your welcome.❤
I have to tell you Meg, I relate to all of your first trimester symptoms, and I’m sorry you had a rough go of it too 🥺 I’m glad you’re feeling a little bit better at least! And I’m so happy you have Fin to support you ❤️ Not to scare you too 😂 but I was sick the entire 9 months and had to get a rx for nausea, and my heightened sense of smell is still a thing 😂 it’s all worth it as I’m sure you know ❤️
One of my pregnancy cravings was water. Luckily, because before that I would maybe drink 16oz a day. And I had to take my prenatals at night so I slept through the upset tummy.
we did IVF and we always joke my pregnancy is immaculate conception 😂 the 1st trimester naps too, i’d work from 7:45-3:45 nap as soon i got home at 4, wake at 6 eat shower and be in bed for 8 😂 due dates are CRAZY i’ve still not wrapped my head around them 😂
Hey Megan! I had a couple questions. First, congratulations!!!! We JUST decided last week to try. Did you use a period tracker to know when ovulating or did you just try? Do you still recommend the paper strips or just go for the plastic ones? I know you said first try but still would like your insight! Congratulations again!
My morning sickness never went away and it never got easier. I was 35 weeks pregnant when I went into labor and I was getting “morning sickness” all day. Grocery shopping really triggered it bad. After getting my cart full I would literally 🤮 when it was time to go up to the cash registers. It was horrible and embarrassing. I didn’t make it to the bathroom 2x and 🤮 right in front of everyone. 😢
My pregnancy was extremely similar!!! Down to almost every single detail you're explaining. Even the hospital IV fluids. It was a rough ride in the beginning, but finally got better around 20 weeks. It was so rough and I actually lost weight from getting so sick! I was shocked because nobody I knew in person had experienced the "survival mode" during their pregnancy like I did. Now that my little girl is 10 months old (I guess the old gender wives tale was true for me lol) it's so hard to believe I went through that. It really was such a small amount of time looking back, but during the moment it didn't feel so short! 😂 it's no joke, but it's all worth it. ❤
I am pregnant too and the vivid dreams from people of the past has been bizzare!! Andd like oddly specific nightmares that were hand crafted for me. I had my first lucid one recently tooooo lol !
it’s so funny bc you’ve gotten used to the news and being pregnant while we’re over here freaking out every 45 seconds bc it’s not sunk in yet!!! i’m so happy for you guys
literally everytime it’s mentioned im like :o wat but then oh! such a joyful thing❤️
Okay Finley picking you a bouquet before the boinking made me literally SOB. You are so loved and I’m so happy you’re so loved.
It's so crazy how our "life milestones" have matched up girl. Got married in June, moved to another state and bought a home a year later and in August on our first try, we got pregnant. May babies! Congratulations girl
omg!!! we are aligned!
I think what Finley said is a great thought for giving birth as well! He’s gonna be so sweet when you’re in labor, and is clearly a great example of how to support and be helpful throughout pregnancy as a partner
That’s so true. 💕🌊
When I go through big life changes I have dreams about people or places from my past too! I feel like it’s a way of making peace with your past/ story to make room for the future.. learning from the little ways you wanted to do something but held yourself back, or the little ways you wish you stood up for yourself but didn’t. Period dreams and pregnancy dreams are usually pretty interesting and powerful

Love hearing your pregnancy journey with all the highs and lows❤️ continuing to live vicariously through you until I’m ready to have my own lil peanuts🥹❤️
Meg, I just gotta say, you and Finley’s relationship is so pure and I could not be more excited for the both of you!! I’ve been watching since the miss Megan makeup days and I’m so happy for how life has gone for you!! Lots of love my hippy ❤❤
It's so exciting, motherhood and fatherhood couldn't pick a more better couple to experience this! 🥹
I'm a mother of 4, 28 yrs old. And your videos and vlogmas have definitely helped me druing my pregnancies, in between. So happy for you Megan ❤
I am so excited for you guys! I've watched your channel since high school and this announcement made my heart leap. You are going to be the most wonderful parents. When we started getting more Finn features a few months ago I was thinking "wow this is great, it feels like I'm watching 'This Old House!'" I loved that you were offering us different perspectives on the renovation and had NO IDEA it was related to the pregnancy!! You sly dogs. Thank you for sharing this journey, merry Vlogmas
We are exactly 1 week apart! I’m due June 4!!! Sooo excited for you! Love the updates and can’t wait to see more 👶🏼❤️
I started watching you when I was pregnant with my now two year old daughter (who loves to watch your piggies!) and I am so excited to follow along on your pregnancy journey and your new life in VT. We are actually going to VT on Christmas to look at some places to buy and your videos about Vermont get me so pumped to go.
😂. I have love to hear pregnancy talk. I am 62 and mine are grown and now I get the excitement as each grandchild is born. I will say whatever you go through during pregnancy in the end you hold that baby and it all disappears.
Finn’s serious determination attitude to everything is hilariously wonderful!
Love hearing all the details about your pregnancy, keep on sharing mama
For me, there is no tmi. I want to know it all! 😂 thank you for sharing yalls journey with us!!❤
Hearing about your pregnancy journey is so fun!! It's like a total flashback for me, I remember so many of these symptoms vividly and my daughter is now 7!!! Just some words of encouragement, the first trimester (from my experience and what I've heard and read) is the toughest. You still have symptoms throughout, but that first trimester feels like a flu that lasts for months but after that it is soooooo much better and of course absolutely worth it despite being so challenging ✨💛✨
Congrats again on your pregnancy I’m so excited for vlogmas ♥️♥️
I feel like I found your channel at such a cool time! I will never have children but I adore the process and look forward to seeing your life progress and evolve! 10/10 on authenticity! 🫶🏻💫
I suffered with nausea during my pregnancy… I used peppermints. It’s a great time of year for candy canes … peppermint is a natural sedative for nausea 👍
I CANOT believe that vlogmas 2024 there will be a wittle baby 😭❤️.
So sorry to hear you felt so unwell 🌸 hope you’re feeling better now! Again, huge congratulations on your pregnancy 🌸
so excited for your mommy megan era!! sending all the love my queen ❤
You two are going to be the best parents ❤️
Mama Meg is literally all I’ve been waiting for. I cannot wait to hear all about your journey. I have a 3 year old Daughter so this is sooo exciting!!! ❤❤❤
Omg yes the smell of the fridge!! The worst!
So happy for you Meghan! It really is like seeing a friend have a baby 🥹 I just had my baby girl Guinevere in early September. It's such a rollercoaster but even when things get hard I found with a supportive partner we could laugh through the tough things and hold onto the bright moments. They are only so tiny for so long. Just remember to find time for yourself as you can. It's hard but really important. Everyone will have opinions on what to do and not do; research what you can and listen to advice from people you love if you want to, but YOU make the choices on bub. This was the most difficult thing for me but a safe, healthy, happy babe is all that matters. Sending you so, so much love from one new mumma to another.
Guinevere!! What a gorgeous name! Congrats 💖
Your tree looks beautiful. The best ornament is of course the ultrasound pictures. Congratulations to you and Fin, you two will be wonderful parents!
I can totally relate to your first trimester with my last pregnancy! I actually got some depression and ptsd from the sickness. It’s very real! If it gives you any hope I’m currently pregnant again in my first trimester and it’s been better so far!! I’m hopeful that you’re future pregnancies will be easier ❤
I love hi excitement he has for having a baby
I so love your Vlogmas videos and, Congratulations to both you and Finly on the baby. All the food looks so yummy--the bread, the waffles, the Thai. That Christmas tree is so beautiful and, the dogs and pigs are always so cute. :o)🦮🐕🐖💚
watching vlogmas is gonna have me smacking myself in the face over and over like NO. you did this. you are one and done. you do not need to be sick every day for 9 months again. 😅😅😅 also, weird about how they track!!!! i knew i was pregnant cause i felt the implantation (and had the sickness) and was sick from moment of conception. wishing for a healthy homestead baby coming your way!!!!!! goodluck mama and dada!!!!!! 💛💛💛💛
My baby girl is turning 20 months in a few days but I remember the first two trimesters with her SO VIVIDLY. Nausea and sickness was constant. Preggie Pop Drops were very helpful. They’re hard candies made with essential oils and could be helpful for you if nausea still plagues you!
This was so helpful and fascinating! Thanks Meg!
I forgot to comment on the last video but congrats!!
I am sooooo happy that you got pregnant so fast!!! Miracle ❤️
Thanks so much for sharing how your first trimester went. Unfortunately with my son I was sick the entire pregnancy. I had hyperemesis gravidarum. I'm so glad to know you are starting to feel better! Pregnancy is full of so many new feelings, so many ups and downs, but the biggest blessing nonetheless. My husband and I conceived on the first try too. ❤
I love hearing everything! I’m still just so giddy for you and Finley!!!!
thank you for sharing your baby belly growth experience with us ❤️💚🤍 also, you and fin always crack me up, you guys have great humor🌹
So excited for you guys ❤🎉
Lol meghan pregnancy dreams are WILD! i've had it with both of kids lol. Also i had like a metal taste with drinking water it sucked and i love water! I had my husband buy me different water at one point and during my pregnancy our water was filtered with our berkey.
ahhhhh im so excited for you guys!! i had been suspecting that something was up for a few weeks but obviously everyone’s journey w fertility is different so i wasnt gonna be like are you pregnant? cuz i think thats rude. i cant wait to watch this journey w you an fin! so happy to say ive been here since basically the start of missmeghanmakeup!!!
Thank you for you - i laugh so much - and i felt so much of the same in early pregnancy
Meghan, watching this content is cranking my baby crazy all the way up. My fiance and I are getting married this coming March, and the plan is to start trying shortly thereafter. Multiple content creators I follow are pregnant right now, and I feel like a child waiting for Santa to come!
lol my husband and I always quoted that pregnant questions video when I was pregante 😂
Agree with the zinc, I couldn't do it with my pregnancies and then it started up again after menopause... crazy stuff, glad the pregnancy bootcamp is getting better, cherish the next weeks... Hugs~ Lea
Just to help out my ladies with morning sickness. Morning sickness is only because of low magnesium levels. Check your levels or take vitamins or foods high in magnesium. Your welcome.❤
I’m at the end of the video and Meghan going “did anyone get that joke or think it was funny at all” is sending me 😂😂😂
Feeling verrrry seeeeen! this is how I feel currently felt like it for 4 weeks now 🤢 waiting to come out in the clear! 👶
Yay!!!! So so happy that it’s vlogmas and we get a vid from you everyday!!!
Just saw your first day and once finished this was uploaded and I got even more excited lol
I am still so happy you are gregnant!
Your neighbor sounds like a hoot 😊
he's the best!
Also based on these symptoms.. I’m going to be guessing GIRL!
The nausea just hit me today and I’m not well 😷 can’t wait for the second trimester
I have to tell you Meg, I relate to all of your first trimester symptoms, and I’m sorry you had a rough go of it too 🥺 I’m glad you’re feeling a little bit better at least! And I’m so happy you have Fin to support you ❤️ Not to scare you too 😂 but I was sick the entire 9 months and had to get a rx for nausea, and my heightened sense of smell is still a thing 😂 it’s all worth it as I’m sure you know ❤️
Your intro song is REALLY good, "is this Vermont or is it heaven?", simply bucolic!
thank you friend! finley came up with the rhyme!
One of my pregnancy cravings was water. Luckily, because before that I would maybe drink 16oz a day. And I had to take my prenatals at night so I slept through the upset tummy.
we did IVF and we always joke my pregnancy is immaculate conception 😂
the 1st trimester naps too, i’d work from 7:45-3:45 nap as soon i got home at 4, wake at 6 eat shower and be in bed for 8 😂
due dates are CRAZY i’ve still not wrapped my head around them 😂
Hey Megan! I had a couple questions. First, congratulations!!!! We JUST decided last week to try. Did you use a period tracker to know when ovulating or did you just try? Do you still recommend the paper strips or just go for the plastic ones? I know you said first try but still would like your insight! Congratulations again!
My morning sickness never went away and it never got easier. I was 35 weeks pregnant when I went into labor and I was getting “morning sickness” all day. Grocery shopping really triggered it bad. After getting my cart full I would literally 🤮 when it was time to go up to the cash registers. It was horrible and embarrassing. I didn’t make it to the bathroom 2x and 🤮 right in front of everyone. 😢
so excited for you ! watching your videos is like facetiming a friend!🩵
My pregnancy was extremely similar!!! Down to almost every single detail you're explaining. Even the hospital IV fluids. It was a rough ride in the beginning, but finally got better around 20 weeks. It was so rough and I actually lost weight from getting so sick! I was shocked because nobody I knew in person had experienced the "survival mode" during their pregnancy like I did. Now that my little girl is 10 months old (I guess the old gender wives tale was true for me lol) it's so hard to believe I went through that. It really was such a small amount of time looking back, but during the moment it didn't feel so short! 😂 it's no joke, but it's all worth it. ❤
“A flop from 2013” 🤣 not preggy but my dreams are as weird as this lmao
I am pregnant too and the vivid dreams from people of the past has been bizzare!! Andd like oddly specific nightmares that were hand crafted for me. I had my first lucid one recently tooooo lol !
