Being pregnant can feel quite lonely at times and it really helped me watching others first trimester vlogs :) I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend 🤍

    I love how she said "I just love it" when referring to the fact that she has a little human growing in her. I've always thought pregnancy is one of THE most incredible parts of life, and it's so joyful to see Gemma love it so much. 🤧🤍

    Congratulations again gorgeous - and thank you for taking us on this journey with you. Seeing you both so happy, and baby on the scan was magical. I know that you and Jamie are going to be amazing parents (just putting it out there I am also thinking boy tee hee!)
    I am a GP and as such have the joy of managing pregnancy and newborns in the community. Most new mums, and in my career I have seen hundreds, share the same thoughts and worries as you- you are not alone. Even with my own pregnancy, as a doctor, I overthought everything.
    In case anyone is wondering, the wait for that first appointment is long because baby is just too tiny to see clearly on a scan, especially to get all the info they need, although the excitement and uncertainty makes it feel so much longer.
    Remember that humans have been having babies since time began. Try not to get lost in all the information out there, and other people’s advice and experiences, which can be overwhelming. Remember that your body is incredible lovely 💕💕

    I recently had a baby and omg did the video bring back allllll the memories you quickly forget. I was so unwell during my first trimester and it’s crazy how quickly you forget the bad days. This video was so relatable and true to the facts of pregnancy. You’ll smash being a mum Gemma! Just like every new mum you’ll learn all the things you need to in time ❤️

    I am 24 weeks pregnant today and it was so lovely to hear your first trimester experience. Mine was awful and I had such bad sickness and tiredness like you. It was such a relief to hear someone else had been through the same thing. A lot of my friends have had easy pregnancies and I always felt so down most days. My second trimester was a lot easier but I am still struggling with the changes to my body and not feeling myself. I can’t wait to continue to follow your journey :) xx

I remember at my 12 week scan thinking it was starting to feel real but it's not until you're 5cm dilated and they tell you baby is on it's way is when you think oh my god this is actually happening. I am having a baby 😂 Enjoy every second of this. Good or bad days because it is going to fly by ❤️

    I also wanted to point out something my mum always says about pregnancies which is “one out one in”. Pretty much every baby in our family has come after the loss of a loved one and I can’t help but feel that after you lost your dad, he has sent this baby as a blessing and a way to still be around you in his own way 🥰💕

    I’m a student midwife and this vlog makes me so happy! The reason why you’ve been craving salty food is because when you have bad morning sickness you loose a lot of your bodies sodium (salts) which is why you’ve been craving it as your body is trying to replace what it’s lost from being sick! & the little box tray thing is very true…. Sorry Jamie 😂xx

    I really feel this! I have hyperemisis which is extreme sickness in pregnancy. I’ve had it with each of my girls. This is my third (and last😆). If you’re still struggling please just ask for some sickness tablets, there’s things out there to help which nobody really tells you about unless you reach out. I know it shouldn’t be that way but it seems to be even worse now covid is around…I hope you’re feeling more yourself, remember it’s not forever and all worth it. Although, I know easier said than done when you’re in that moment! You’re going to be the best mummy and I’m greatful you’re sharing your journey 🥰🤍 I’m currently 38+3 weeks and waiting for baby girl to make her appearance 🕊🤍

      Thank you for sharing the reality of your journey Gemma & congratulations to you both.

      @@danahock6300 oh no bless you, I feel for you! I hope you start feeling better soon..it really is a horrible thing. With all 3 I was in and out of hospital for the first I’d say 20 weeks (more so with my third because I knew the signs so went in near enough straight away when I needed to) the worst part was they would start me on the same tablets each time but they weren’t effective. With my previous 2 it subsided but I had a few trips here and there mainly through having water infections, it would kick off my sickness. I had much more better days but with my third, although I was in hospital much more at the beginning I think it helped as I’m now on medication and my gp has been consistent with giving me them as and when I need so I haven’t been admitted since around the 20 week mark. Although I was still being sick few times a day up until around 26 weeks. So it was slightly different in my second and third trimester but unfortunately my first was exactly the same 🙃 maybe because I’ve had/having all girls? Not sure…I really hope you start to feel better soon my lovely! 🤍

    • @rainbow616
      @rainbow616 2 роки тому

      I had hyperemesis gravidarum too. I didn't take tablets for that. I knew they existed but I was scared it would hurt the baby.

    • @amyfrancis3389
      @amyfrancis3389 2 роки тому +1

      @@rainbow616 they have different levels lovely. They usually start with 2 different types which are safe during any stages of pregnancy and then if they don’t work they try other medications, some are safer than others but they don’t give it without informing you. Each time I got admitted into hospital they would start all over again offering me the first tablets but unfortunately they just didn’t cut it. To be honest, nothing really did until I reached around the 20 week point and even then I was still being sick just not as excessive. I think this just all depends on the extent. My personal experience was being sick even after a sip of water, walking into a different room, anything that smelt, any food. In general, everything. Overall I had over 8 hospital admissions in my first 10 weeks, which were long stays. Not being able to stomach anything, food or fluids can also be harmful to baby, so again, it depends on the extent and figuring out what works for you and of course keeping baby and yourself healthy. I wouldn’t imagine health care professionals could prescribe medication that would effectively/knowingly harm your baby. I hope you start to feel better really soon! C

    Dear Gemma, don’t drive yourself crazy and don’t over read to much. I’ve done it with my first baby that is almost 1 year old and I can just tell you as soon as the baby is born you will have it in your intuition what to do and you will know 100%. In my first pregnancy I went all out and so crazy even when she was born read so much and it made me be worried even more. Now I am 16 weeks pregnant and so much more relaxed. I can just tell you - you will be a good momma and you can’t do anything wrong ♥️ sending you lots of love 💕 take care of yourself and the baby. Ps get lots of sleep 🥰

    When you have children it changes you as a person so much. It is like having your heart on the outside and it is a rollercoaster, ups and downs, parenting is naturally always challenging us. My girls teach me so much about myself they continue to show me and help me to grow internally, they are always there, sometimes days are hard (I parent alone) we also home schooled for a year in 2020. They are always teaching me compassion and genuine love like no other

    HUGE CONGRATULATIONS GUYS! So very pleased for you.
    When I was pregnant I had morning sickness all the time. All day, every day for months. Nothing worked to help it. Was same with second pregnancy too.
    I had loved, and had been drinking, Earl Grey tea for years, but went off it … and even to this day I cannot stand even the smell of it.
    Pregnancy does weird things to you. But I enjoyed every single day. Those first flutters … then that first kick. Then watching this little Alien moving around inside.
    ENJOY, ENJOY, ENJOY! Always here for you if you want to ask anything! 😘😘😘

As soon as I hit second trimester I was eating like a horse🤣🤣

    I feel you girl!. Both my pregnancies I had all day sickness for the first 15 weeks. Have a snack, even a plain cracker or crisp when you wake up will make you feel heaps better.
    Don’t worry, you will feel much better in your second trimester. (Which I think your already there now by the time you post this). So excited for you. Try to enjoy the ups and the downs of it all because it flies by and then you will miss it lol x
    P.s a cute thing I once read when I was becoming a fist time mum is that “your new to all of it and learning everyday, but so is your baby and they know no different to the perfect way your doing it all”. So cute and so true. You are their words and they know no different 💜

    Gemma, never feel guilty for not enjoying your pregnancy. It can be so difficult. That doesn’t mean you’re not happy, blessed, grateful, excited. It just means you’re exhausted and you’re feeling rubbish. I’m 32 weeks today and my pregnancy has been really rough. It’s been sh*t to be honest and I’ve struggled a lot but I am so excited to meet my son and I know I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat once he’s here. Take each day as it comes and don’t put pressure on yourself to feel ‘normal’ it’s so difficult and everyone who’s had a tough pregnancy will understand exactly what you mean 🥰🤍 big hugs xx

    Seeing how happy being pregnant makes you is honestly so lovely to see, you’re so deserving of this amazing journey🥰 a tip for sickness as I’m currently pregnant and I had it all day all the way up until 23 weeks (currently 27w), always have a bottle of water next to you during the night and first thing on a morning as it’s a life saver if you need to be sick on a morning, ginger snap biscuits are also a life saver as ginger is meant to ease the sickness, and have a lot of rest! If you feel really sick, have a nap or a lie down ❤️ the sickness made me feel really unmotivated and emotional, but just keep in mind it will get better if you have days where you feel like you’re struggling

    Love your baby vlogs - most people wait until they reach 3 mos. to announce pregnancy to make its going well and no miscarriages etc. - love all your pregnancy details week by week - I too was sick the first 3 mos. then it stopped and I felt better thankfully. So exciting to hear your open chatty self back again and we love going through this with you ❤️❤️❤️👶🏻👶🏻👶🏻

    The changes to your body is insane when you're pregnant! My acne cleared up almost instantly. The craving i had for red meat was scarily intense and the two times i tried to eat mcdonalds the taste was awful and id be in the bathroom for the rest of the night 👌🏼 ... its so exciting seeing you go through this pregnancy, congratulations to the both of you 💕

    Gemma this experience is going to continue to be amazing. Being a mother seems to make everything complete. You’re sick now (which will go away) but the day you see and hold your little bundle of joy will make this journey worth it. Sending you much love and blessings all the way from N.Y.

    Awwww I hope you're finally feeling yourself or have very minimal sickness. Around the 14-16wk for most is a turning point. You look absolutely radiant and I love you little baby bump. Thank you and Jamie for bringing us along on this journey 💕💕💕

    When you are feeling poorly and you are feeling like it’s hard just remember this...it IS hard work. You are growing an actual human being and I think that is some of the hardest work a woman will ever do. I’m such a sap when it comes to seeing how much a man loves his partner and it’s even extra cute seeing how caring Jamie is. Hormones are the hardest thing to figure out! For Jamie...it’s true about the litter box. You 2 are going to be fantastic parents 💕💙

    Something about watching Jamie during this vlog makes me cry. My boyfriend is so so excited for the moment we find out we are pregnant and I’m more excited for him than me, so watching Jamie in this video just reaffirms that excitement. You’re both going to be wonderful parents!

    So exciting🤩
    I had all the exact same pregnancy symptoms and craving as you!!
    I was sick every single morning, I couldn’t even drink a small amount of diluted juice without being sick.
    Every craving I had was salty, sour things. Salt and vinegar crisps, sour sweets, sour apple juice etc.
    I ended up having a baby boy💙
    My sickness lasted until around 20 weeks and then it went and never came back! Then from there I was able to enjoy every single second💙 Pregnancy is so so hard but one of the most rewarding things ever. If anyone sits and comments on you telling us how you feel and being truthful, please don’t listen as we all feel the exact same at some point throughout.
    You’re doing amazing!!💙💗

If it wasn't for my grandson, my cancer diagnosis this last year would have been the end of me, but he keeps me happy & grateful for each day. I wish you both the greatest life with your little one & I look forward to watching you both grow & become the family you were always meant to be, Much love to both you & Jamie ♥🖤

    You are well within your right to say pregnancy is hard, pregnancy kicks your arse!! I didnt enjoy any of my pregnancies and i wasnt ashamed to admit. Im a mum of 3 boys 12,8 and 1 and i am so grateful for them even more so because i got through something that was extremely hard. Dont worry if you dont get that "glow" because if it doesnt come during pregnancy itl arrive in the form of a little bundle of joy, this journey is so exciting and we can already see this baby is so loved already a massive congratulations you 2 ❤❤

    You took me back to my first pregnancy with my IVF twins I remember looking in the mirror waiting to see my stomach grow … sickness was endless till I was16 - 18 weeks, ginger biscuits by my bed before I got up helped settle the sickness fizzy ginger beer I loved … you’re bringing back so many happy memories my girls are now 35! I never believed I was having them many scans reassured me, it’s a beautiful gift loved seeing your first trimester … special time enjoy every moment it soon passes ❤️

I loved being pregnant and have the same feeling on beginning, waiting till 12 weeks for first scan was for me soooo stressful 🙈 and yes feeling that is this really happening stay with you till baby is here even after my baby girl was here I couldn’t believe it ♥️ so happy to see your journey

    Gemma! I loved this vid, I am currently nearly 8 weeks pregnant and found this so helpful. I'm not enjoying my first trimester much and have had the same problems as you did, so it's really nice to know I'm not alone and so glad there's a light at the end of the tunnel. I too had an early scan but yours was a lot clearer than mine! The little heartbeat was amazing! My first NHS scan is on valentines day 😍 can't wait to keep following you along and learning with you! Sending you lots of love xxxxxx

    Don’t feel bad for saying you are struggling with your pregnancy because it’s not an easy thing to go through. In the beginning of my pregnancies i was so ill i couldn’t eat i was always sick and lost a lot of weight thankfully for me it did get better so fingers crossed for you ❤️
