I feel the same way. I am 36 years & I never been pregnant. I always pray for a baby I have cried even gave up on sex with my partner because I lost faith. But then again I hype myself up to try again & it just doesn’t happened. He has 4 kids previous relationship. I tested & I’m healthy. Now I don’t understand why I don’t get pregnant. I quit smoking weed & drinking alcohol. I’m clean now for a year now going for two year. Well I wish you the best & baby dust your way💗
@@ElderandOakFarm actually i’m not quite ready for a baby yet so i’m not trying! i just really want one because it feels like im not a complete woman without one to me. :( its a bit hard for me knowing im about to be 25 and not yet healthy enough or financially stable enough to even try yet. idk if im being dramatic, but i feel like time is ticking. especially knowing i have pcos and it’ll probably take me longer than average to have one. D; i hope you get your baby !!
@@Jacqueline-fw7jp i’ve been pregnant once but unfortunately it didn’t work out because i developed a disorder and was extremely unhealthy and malnourished :/ i wasn’t ready for one though. i just really want one. i pray that baby comes back to me one day. i hope my pcos won’t get in the way once im ready to have one. i’m wishing you all the best! you should get ultrasounds and blood tests for pcos maybe? that’s a major cause for infertility :/
6 weeks pregnant and my 1st pregnancy! Since week 4, I’ve had cramping, sore breasts and extreme fatigue. Praying all goes well. My husband and I are so excited ❤

Omg. Congratulations!! 🎉❤ I found out I’m pregnant yesterday as well and I’m 31 years old as well. 😮 What a coincidence. I might be only 5 weeks though if I did my math right. This is going to be my first child. Hubby and I have been trying for almost 4 years. We are also set to go to fertility clinic next month, but I’m planning to cancel and call them on Monday.

@@nikkapullem4165 that’s amazing!!! Congratulations!! this is also our first and pretty much didn’t think it was in our cards. My sister chose to do IVF because of infertility and had a successful pregnancy, my nephews now 3 months old ! This has been an exciting year to say the least!! I am praying for a healthy pregnancy for you and am so happy for you 💕
I am 4 weeks pregnant and finding it hard to believe I am pregnant because I got so used to it not happening every month that we have been trying. The last few months I was convinced I was pregnant, turned out to be PMS 😞 and then eventually I get hardly any symptoms apart from being super hungry which happens before my period also so I wouldn’t let myself think anything of it. Yesterday I got my first positive and then again today. Somehow it feels too good to be true. It is a very surreal feeling I am still shocked and struggling to let myself get too excited. ❤
Just got the positive today! 4 weeks for me :) I totally understand how you feel! I keep re-testing because I can't believe it's finally happening haha! Hope you have a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby!!
I'm currently 9 weeks. After it not happening for 2 years, and a couple of miscarriages it's been a real mix of emotions. I did end up in hospital at 5 weeks due to sharp pains. I've had 2 scans to check on the progression. And have my official first scan in a few weeks xxx
congratulations everyone here...same story ...this was my 3rd and final attempt at ivf ...lots of struggle...now betahcg positive and can't yet believe it after 5 years of failures ...yet to sink in i am really pregnant... waiting for first scan now
5 weeks pregnant at 40 years old! My only child is 14!! I forgot so much about being pregnant!! I am so happy UA-cam is here to help! Thanks for the video!!!🎉🎉
Yupiiiii after 9 years I am pregnant! So here I am watching all your videos about pregnancy after all the videos about miscarriages and infertility 😂❤ thank you for all the tips and helpful information!
Thank you for the tips! I’m 8 weeks pregnant and my expectation was that the first trimester is very important so I will eat healthy and sleep well. The reality is that I feel nauseous 24/7 and can barely eat anything (and usually I crave junk food), my sleep is ruined and I feel so tired I can’t force myself to go for a walk 😂 Also lost a couple of kilos because I can’t always find food that will not make me nauseated. Just waiting for the first trimester to pass!
Thank you for sharing your experience!! 11 weeks now, and this has been my experience too!!! Hopefully in a few weeks it will pass, and I hope you feel better soon!
Yay for new video :) I’m 4 weeks pregnant today and nervous since I had a missed miscarriage 4 months ago when I was 12 weeks. Everyday is just hard to let the time go by without worry passing first trimester sounds like a dream
@@MissSmurfey Thanks for checking in on me ❤️. I sadly found out at ay 8 week 6 day ultrasound that baby no longer had heart beat. Gut wrenching to say the least. Doc did recurrent miscarriage blood tests to see if I have blood clotting disorders or other things to see if I need blood thinners, he did genetic chromosone on baby and ALLL the tests came back normal including the baby’s genetic chromosomes (So this to us was great news it says we have normal ones in there). So he suspects I have a septum that is causing my miscarriages, a septum doesn’t allow blood flow to baby and no space and causes recurrent miscarriages. He wants to do a hysteroscopy and determine if he needs to snip off this septum to allow for full term pregnancy. I hope he is correct! It’s the 2nd leading cause of miscarriage. He also said there is a chance that I can get pregnant without the procedure and I won’t even have any issue but I would rather have him go in there and see if I have this septum problem if it prevents it. I feel very hopeful with this news. I just have to wait for my D&C to heal first then we can get going this procedure! I’m still dreaming ahead but find the most comfort listening to videos who have gone through similar and now have their rainbows 🙏 ❤️

Finally a video that clearly explains the cramping. Thank you. This was a great video! I’m 4 weeks at 40yrs. After less than 1 year, I’m excitingly expecting my rainbow baby. Every little ache, pressure, and thought of my age makes me nervous. I’m taking things week by week until my first scan. 🌈 🙏🏾
Ok I thought I was crazy. I know I saw gas is a common symptom so I just assumed gas through the bottom end, but man I can't stop burping!! Glad to know that's normal at this stage!
Found out im pregnant at 39 and am 10 weeks 6 days gestational age. This is my first! Trying to get insurance which adds stress to this situation. I'm trying to learn and do what's best until I can get an obgyn visit. But the rest I'm leaving to God. He is creating. Wishing all of you the very Best❤
7 weeks today (that’s what Flo says) I have extreme fatigue, night insomnia, stomach cramps, lower back pain (very mild), gassy, nausea (not often), frequent urination, freezing, excessive discharge. So far… I scheduled my appointment with an OB in early June, only because that’s the only date they had open and everywhere else I called doesn’t have to equipment to do it or can’t do it. I am so impatient and I just need to hear baby’s heartbeat! I need to know everything is fine!
I am 41 this is baby number 8 and I’m 11 weeks pregnant… omg… please keep me in your prayers when I say a tubal ligation is in order after delivery this pregnancy is no joke…
I’m 4 weeks pregnant. My second pregnancy. As I had a previous ectopic pregnancy at 6 weeks, I’m really nervous and I’m counting down the days I get to see my OB for confirmation that it’s in the uterus.
Thank you so much for this. I am currently 8 weeks pregnant and all i want to eat is chicken in ginger soup, and nothing else. 😢I have very sensitive sense of smell, I have so many food aversions, I feel nauseous almost everytime of the day. But thankfully I don't vomit and I can keep my liquid and food down. I was worrying I might not be giving proper nutrients to my baby because of my limitations in food. I do take EnfaMama and folic acid every day, and I have been prescribed nauseacare. Thank you for calming my mind through this assurance, that I'll be fine and my baby will be fine even when I don't eat a variety of food, and that this will eventually pass. Thank you! God bless you. Praying for all the expectant mommies out there. We can do this!
You answered so many of my questions I've had lingering or needing to google! I'm 4.5 weeks right now and every new thing I notice I get so scared. I'm almost 31 and it's my first. Glad to know my spotting and cramping is super normal. I'm also really nauseous today and I know that's only going to get worse. Praying the little bean sticks around!!
6 weeks and 1 day pregnant with my first ever baby! ❤ I’ll be a single mom by choice! Beyond blessed! 🥰. I’ve been super tired, nauseous, have sore breasts and healthy discharge. Can’t wait to see my little peanut on 5/16 for my first scan 💕
Hola ❤ about 7 weeks here on my first; nervous excited all the emotions! Definitely tired all the time and food has been a gamble. Prayers to all you mommas and poppas and mammas to be !
6 weeks and have been almost bed ridden for three weeks … I feel so so awful and new symptoms hitting almost every day including massively fast weight gain 😣 grateful for supportive content like this, Thankyou
@@gmnomiplease help me I'm only five weeks my first pregnancy and I have been feeling so tired could eat anything, nausea, morning sickness please help
This video was so helpful in calming me down. I'm pregnant with baby number 2 and I had HORRIBLE hyperemisis gravidarum ( intense morning sickness) with my first from very early on. I am still early into this pregnancy but I'm not nearly as nauseous as I was with my first which was making me nervous. Thank you for saying its normal 🫶🏻 wishing luck and wellbeing to all those who are trying / pregnant right now 💗🍀
I am sooooo tired and not sleeping! Nausea has been awful. Been vomiting too but not really brought any food up thank god. I have food aversion and food cravings all at once. Sherbert lemons have been saving me!
For anyone having horrible nausea you will get through it I couldn’t even keep down water with my first lasted almost 3 months now pregnant with my second I have no nausea
@@Servantofjesus_1 if I'm being honest I didn't eat anything for about 2 and a half months I tried fruit and crackers nothing helped me even after the doctor prescribed me nausea medication nothing helped I just had to rest and drink juice
Gosh when I would tell people that my cramping was bad, most would say I was exaggerating 😭. My cramps were the worst in the first trimester! Currently in my second trimester and my cramps have subsided 💪🏼
Thank you so much 😭. I’m 6 weeks gone and have been having concerns that my not eating will affect baby and I’ve been asking myself if I’ll feel this way throughout the whole journey . You’ve helped alleviate my concerns. Thank you again
I just reached week 8 and have my first ultrasound tomorrow. I’m so anxious. The cramping in the beginning definitely made me think I had miscarried. But I only spotted once (about a dime size) around week 6.
Which pre natal do you recommend?! I’ve been taking ritual because their use folate and I thought that was better than folic acid, but you are saying the opposite! I’m happy to switch but can you please let us know which one you recommend?! Thank you!!
Hi Doctor! Thank you for this wealth of info! Not pregnant yet. I have been taking Thorne Basic Prenatal. It states is has folate (1 mg as L5-Methyltetrahydrofolate from L5 Metyltetrahydrofolic Acid, Glucosamine Salt) - 1.7 mg DFE (%DV - 283%). I am overly concerned that I am not taking what I should and that this prenatal does not have the folic acid you have mentioned is so important. Would it be safe to add a separate folic acid only supplement, and if so, what should be the dosage of that? Thank you in advance. Many blessings for all you do for the community!
Thanks you so much for touching base on the folic acid versus folate. There is so much controversy with that and it's good to really be clear. The majority of prenatals out there have been using the methylated folates. I've only found one or two prenatals that use folic acid.
I take Jameson prenatals. It says folate and in brackets (folic acid) 1000mcg. Is this ok? I'm worried that I'm taking the wrong one. What prenatals are you taking?
Folic acid isn't naturally occurring, m.folate is. That's why there are no studies on folate, and never will be. Great info but I don't agree on that part.
This was so helpful, thank you Dr! 😊 I'm glad to know that it's not a crime to eat bread or carby foods while I'm struggling with nausea and fatigue to cook balanced meals 🥰x
Hey 6 weeks tomorow. Honestly it hasnt been that bad. Intense breast pain is the only thing ive noticed. Slight cramps and nausia too but honestly if i didnt know i was pregnant i wouldnt even know lol. I love my baby already and i cant wait to meet them.
I am 7 weeks pregnant and I dont feel as nauseous as in week 5. I am little worried since I really dont have that many symptoms. Just tired and no appetite most of the time. I have a check up soon so I hope to see everything is fine. Even my sore breast are not that sore anymore, just little heavy but nothing else. Also my food choices are carbs and starch. I cant even think of cooking. I feel bad for eating like this.
Hi doc, thanks for your sharing bout pregnancy knowledge. This is my 1st experience to accompany my wife on 6 weeks pregnancy, my Obygn doctor ask to totally maximize bedrest to prevent worst case and give medicine "microgest & folic acid" . God bless you doctor.
Thank you, that I can come back to this video after a year, when I finally decided to get pregnant :) It's really helpful, to be assured of all the symptoms, especially when my ob-gyn is great specialist, but not the best speaker.
Hello Dr. Crawford, Thank you for this, and all your videos. They are very helpful. I am 7 weeks and the nausea is really setting in! You mentioned chocolate almond milk as a good snack because it contains protein. There is one gram of protein in a full glass of almond milk. Does that count as a protein source, in this context?
Please tell us what vitamins to take with the dosage amount I.e micrograms. I live in a 3rd world and the doctors here don’t believe in taking vitamins 😢 would love advice please
Can I just say I gain weight so rapidly that when u guys say 15 to 30 lbs over cours of 9months makes me feel as if I’m doing something so wrong or I’m a beast of some sort cuz all my pregnancy’s I defiantly gained 50+ lbs
8weeks & 4days, but i feel pain in my lower abdomen like period cramps and lower back pain.. I'm so scared because it feels like im gonna have my period pain feeling.. please help pray for me, had miscarriage lastyear and want this baby so much. 😢
What if you don’t feel the fatigue? I just got a early pregnancy positive test my expected period Is supposed to be in a couple of days but I was so sore in my breast. I took test. I have super sore breast and I have so much bloating. My cramps are coming on and off. 😮
What prenatal vitamin do you recommend? In the meantime while I finish my box of theralogix ovavite that has 1,330 DFE OF L-5-methyletrahydrofolate how much actual folic acid would it be ok to add? Is the 400 safe with what my current vitamin is?
I am 4wks+5 with my second and so nervous. I forgot how many nerves I had during my first pregnancy, I’m lucky my toddler keeps me more busy than I was last time, but these tips and professional opinions are so refreshing and helpful while anticipating that first appointment at 9wks to hear baby’s heartbeat. Thank you for making these videos🩵🩵
Study shows that there isn’t a difference in women who do take them compared to those who don’t take them. I have also found out if you had bad acid reflux, prenatals can also make that worse so my doctor mentioned to me they are not something mandatory to take. In fact, prenatals are not even FDA approved.
Im almost 38 yrs old and 7 weeks pregnant with my 1st child. Fatigue and nausea are taking over alll day. Its so uncomfortable and draining. Im happy im not working cause this would be so hard. 😢
I have been taking perelel health pre natals but I see this has golate as l5 nethyltetrahydrafollate calcium. Ks this good to take or should i just take folic acid
Wow I am absolutely freaking out this is like the only video I ran into where someone says you shouldn’t change your cat litter box while pregnant!!! Now I’m so worried! One of my cat is obsessed with raw meat. I’m going to have someone else clean it now but this is really scary.
Thank you for this! You mentioned ginger tea to help with nausea, in general is ok to drink other herbal teas in moderation during pregnancy (for example green, chamomile or chai)? Trying to limit my coffee intake but I love a hot beverage in the fall! Thanks!
I just found out that I am 4weeks pregnant but a week ago I attended a wedding and had a few sips of white wine and another alcoholic drink. I did not finish both just a few sips. I am so afraid that it would affect my baby’s development. Will I be able to know on my first ultrasound if the alcohol had affected the development?? Will I know straight away if the fetus has birth defects???please answer I am so anxious.🥺
At my age 46 years old my last pregnancy at may age 21 yeasts old my childs are 27 26 years old i dont know now how to feel im pregnant going now 7weeks
Hello Dr. Crawford, can you please give us more tips about ovarian bloating after fertility treatment and what activities should we avoid? I like to stretch my waist left and right and stretch my back.. Will this be okay to do? Also, sometimes I touch my left & right abdomen and feel something inside, I feel like it gets pinched when I touch it. Is this normal?
I am 9 week pregnant after 5 years of trying. I am bleeding but my pregnancy is doing well. I am taking progesterone capsule and i still get brown blood. I am trying not to worry as i went er 4 times and baby looked fine.

7 weeks today (that’s what Flo says) I have extreme fatigue, night insomnia, stomach cramps, lower back pain (very mild), gassy, nausea (not often), frequent urination, freezing, excessive discharge. So far… I scheduled my appointment with an OB in early June, only because that’s the only date they had open and everywhere else I called doesn’t have to equipment to do it or can’t do it. I am so impatient and I just need to hear baby’s heartbeat! I need to know everything is fine!
So I'm not the only one suffering with a full plate of symptoms. It feels that I'm going to die.
Hii! Are you feeling better? I’m in week 8 and feeling as you are describing 😢
@@Bakerygofeeling same as you
@@Bakerygo i hope it gets better. same so much pain that's something is going on there
I am 41 this is baby number 8 and I’m 11 weeks pregnant… omg… please keep me in your prayers when I say a tubal ligation is in order after delivery this pregnancy is no joke…
Congrats 👏
I’m 4 weeks pregnant. My second pregnancy. As I had a previous ectopic pregnancy at 6 weeks, I’m really nervous and I’m counting down the days I get to see my OB for confirmation that it’s in the uterus.
Good luck 🤞
Congratulations I hope you are doing great in your pregnancy journey
Thank you so much for this. I am currently 8 weeks pregnant and all i want to eat is chicken in ginger soup, and nothing else. 😢I have very sensitive sense of smell, I have so many food aversions, I feel nauseous almost everytime of the day. But thankfully I don't vomit and I can keep my liquid and food down. I was worrying I might not be giving proper nutrients to my baby because of my limitations in food. I do take EnfaMama and folic acid every day, and I have been prescribed nauseacare. Thank you for calming my mind through this assurance, that I'll be fine and my baby will be fine even when I don't eat a variety of food, and that this will eventually pass. Thank you! God bless you. Praying for all the expectant mommies out there. We can do this!
You answered so many of my questions I've had lingering or needing to google! I'm 4.5 weeks right now and every new thing I notice I get so scared. I'm almost 31 and it's my first. Glad to know my spotting and cramping is super normal. I'm also really nauseous today and I know that's only going to get worse. Praying the little bean sticks around!!
Congrats!! So glad this video gave you some relief.
6 weeks and 1 day pregnant with my first ever baby! ❤ I’ll be a single mom by choice! Beyond blessed! 🥰. I’ve been super tired, nauseous, have sore breasts and healthy discharge. Can’t wait to see my little peanut on 5/16 for my first scan 💕
Hola ❤ about 7 weeks here on my first; nervous excited all the emotions! Definitely tired all the time and food has been a gamble. Prayers to all you mommas and poppas and mammas to be !
6 weeks and have been almost bed ridden for three weeks … I feel so so awful and new symptoms hitting almost every day including massively fast weight gain 😣 grateful for supportive content like this, Thankyou
I’m 4 weeks this is my first pregnancy so far I’ve noticed being really tired, food cravings, and morning sickness
I m a gynecologist and can guide u on this
@@gmnomiplease help me I'm only five weeks my first pregnancy and I have been feeling so tired could eat anything, nausea, morning sickness please help
6 weeks pregnant now and I don't experience any morning sickness and nausea.. is it normal?
This video was so helpful in calming me down. I'm pregnant with baby number 2 and I had HORRIBLE hyperemisis gravidarum ( intense morning sickness) with my first from very early on. I am still early into this pregnancy but I'm not nearly as nauseous as I was with my first which was making me nervous. Thank you for saying its normal 🫶🏻 wishing luck and wellbeing to all those who are trying / pregnant right now 💗🍀
My first pregnancy, only 3 weeks but feeling extreme fatigue, I can’t even move out of bed 😅
Same!!!! but I haven’t tested yet. I’m a day delayed. I feel confident this is it for me! ❤
I am sooooo tired and not sleeping! Nausea has been awful. Been vomiting too but not really brought any food up thank god. I have food aversion and food cravings all at once. Sherbert lemons have been saving me!
I am 7 weeks and 3 and have been so sick since week 4 that I've lost a few pounds. Ive heard that can be normal but hope it doesn't last.
For anyone having horrible nausea you will get through it I couldn’t even keep down water with my first lasted almost 3 months now pregnant with my second I have no nausea
And what would you eat i am going through that and get scared I’m not eating enough to give it nurtrition
Can you pls share your experience
@@Servantofjesus_1 if I'm being honest I didn't eat anything for about 2 and a half months I tried fruit and crackers nothing helped me even after the doctor prescribed me nausea medication nothing helped I just had to rest and drink juice
Gosh when I would tell people that my cramping was bad, most would say I was exaggerating 😭. My cramps were the worst in the first trimester! Currently in my second trimester and my cramps have subsided 💪🏼
About 5 weeks along! So excited to meet our little miracle!
Thank you so much 😭. I’m 6 weeks gone and have been having concerns that my not eating will affect baby and I’ve been asking myself if I’ll feel this way throughout the whole journey . You’ve helped alleviate my concerns. Thank you again
I'm 4 weeks pregnant. First pregnancy since my miscarriage 4 months ago. Very nervous and excited!
Wishing you the best!
Hey, how are you doing now ❤
@@afra6322 doing great! Almost in the 3rd trimester!
I just reached week 8 and have my first ultrasound tomorrow. I’m so anxious. The cramping in the beginning definitely made me think I had miscarried. But I only spotted once (about a dime size) around week 6.
Found you from Diary of a CEO - what an amazing ep! Thank you for your work
Thanks for listening
Same here
I just find out today I will be mom soon. I don't want to hurt my baby. Thanks for this Chanel. I'm always scared it's my first time
How’s everything going now?
😊 I am so very pleasantly surprised of how good and complete the information is! Great video!
I'm so glad!
Am 6weeks .....fatigue,breast pain ,nausea have become part of my life.
Which pre natal do you recommend?! I’ve been taking ritual because their use folate and I thought that was better than folic acid, but you are saying the opposite! I’m happy to switch but can you please let us know which one you recommend?! Thank you!!
Hi Doctor! Thank you for this wealth of info!
Not pregnant yet. I have been taking Thorne Basic Prenatal. It states is has folate (1 mg as L5-Methyltetrahydrofolate from L5 Metyltetrahydrofolic Acid, Glucosamine Salt) - 1.7 mg DFE (%DV - 283%).
I am overly concerned that I am not taking what I should and that this prenatal does not have the folic acid you have mentioned is so important.
Would it be safe to add a separate folic acid only supplement, and if so, what should be the dosage of that?
Thank you in advance.
Many blessings for all you do for the community!
Hello, can you make a informatory blog about NIPT and risks. And what could increase the risk. Please
Thanks you so much for touching base on the folic acid versus folate. There is so much controversy with that and it's good to really be clear. The majority of prenatals out there have been using the methylated folates. I've only found one or two prenatals that use folic acid.
I take Jameson prenatals. It says folate and in brackets (folic acid) 1000mcg. Is this ok? I'm worried that I'm taking the wrong one. What prenatals are you taking?
Folic acid isn't naturally occurring, m.folate is. That's why there are no studies on folate, and never will be. Great info but I don't agree on that part.
This was so helpful, thank you Dr! 😊 I'm glad to know that it's not a crime to eat bread or carby foods while I'm struggling with nausea and fatigue to cook balanced meals 🥰x
So glad it was helpful!!
What prenatals do you think are best?
Is it wise to dye my hair when trying to conceive?
Hey 6 weeks tomorow. Honestly it hasnt been that bad. Intense breast pain is the only thing ive noticed. Slight cramps and nausia too but honestly if i didnt know i was pregnant i wouldnt even know lol. I love my baby already and i cant wait to meet them.
I’m currently 8 weeks four days Pregnant 🤞🏽
I am 7 weeks pregnant and I dont feel as nauseous as in week 5. I am little worried since I really dont have that many symptoms. Just tired and no appetite most of the time. I have a check up soon so I hope to see everything is fine. Even my sore breast are not that sore anymore, just little heavy but nothing else. Also my food choices are carbs and starch. I cant even think of cooking. I feel bad for eating like this.
Hi any update on your tvs, my wife is worrying also
Did you work as a doctor during pregnancy and what is your experience and recommendation with 24h shifts?
Thank you for creating this video
Is it normal to be really hungry and craving food all the time...? I'm only halfway through my 5th week.
I'm 5 weeks pregnant and I smell everything and sleep at any given opportunity
Hi doc, thanks for your sharing bout pregnancy knowledge. This is my 1st experience to accompany my wife on 6 weeks pregnancy, my Obygn doctor ask to totally maximize bedrest to prevent worst case and give medicine "microgest & folic acid" . God bless you doctor.
Thank you, that I can come back to this video after a year, when I finally decided to get pregnant :)
It's really helpful, to be assured of all the symptoms, especially when my ob-gyn is great specialist, but not the best speaker.
I’m 3 weeks! ❤ i had a minor miscarriage so scared hope all goes well!!
🙏
Hey how’s you pregnancy going?
I hope you had a safe delivery!
Hello Dr. Crawford,
Thank you for this, and all your videos. They are very helpful. I am 7 weeks and the nausea is really setting in! You mentioned chocolate almond milk as a good snack because it contains protein. There is one gram of protein in a full glass of almond milk. Does that count as a protein source, in this context?
I didnt gain weight during first trimester, I am vomitting and not eating very well, I hope everything is good. Having a 12 week scan tomorrow...
How did it go??
Is it okay?????
Please tell us what vitamins to take with the dosage amount I.e micrograms. I live in a 3rd world and the doctors here don’t believe in taking vitamins 😢 would love advice please
I Just found out am pregnant but don’t know what to do .. please what prenatal vitamins would you recommend. Thank you
Can I just say I gain weight so rapidly that when u guys say 15 to 30 lbs over cours of 9months makes me feel as if I’m doing something so wrong or I’m a beast of some sort cuz all my pregnancy’s I defiantly gained 50+ lbs
8weeks & 4days, but i feel pain in my lower abdomen like period cramps and lower back pain.. I'm so scared because it feels like im gonna have my period pain feeling.. please help pray for me, had miscarriage lastyear and want this baby so much. 😢
I am at my 5 th week having same symptoms lower abdominal pain mai back pain
Is it normal
Are you fine now
What if you don’t feel the fatigue? I just got a early pregnancy positive test my expected period Is supposed to be in a couple of days but I was so sore in my breast. I took test. I have super sore breast and I have so much bloating. My cramps are coming on and off. 😮
What prenatal vitamin do you recommend? In the meantime while I finish my box of theralogix ovavite that has 1,330 DFE OF L-5-methyletrahydrofolate how much actual folic acid would it be ok to add? Is the 400 safe with what my current vitamin is?
Very good information doctor.Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this!!
Btw I’m sure you hear this all the time: you look a lot like Reese Witherspoon!
What helps with gerd in early pregnancy?
I am 4wks+5 with my second and so nervous. I forgot how many nerves I had during my first pregnancy, I’m lucky my toddler keeps me more busy than I was last time, but these tips and professional opinions are so refreshing and helpful while anticipating that first appointment at 9wks to hear baby’s heartbeat. Thank you for making these videos🩵🩵
Such a valuable video I love hearing your advice. Thank you ❤
Glad it was helpful!
what prenatsl brand do you reccomend?
I’m 4 weeks from what I understand, I feel super tired and hungry 😂❤️ and mild cramps
Congrats!!
Is pink discharge normal at 5 weeks, also been having symptoms on and off
I’m 6 weeks pregnant when I found out, haven’t taken any vitamins. Need some reassurance please if there’s benefit of beginning now
Study shows that there isn’t a difference in women who do take them compared to those who don’t take them. I have also found out if you had bad acid reflux, prenatals can also make that worse so my doctor mentioned to me they are not something mandatory to take. In fact, prenatals are not even FDA approved.
Im almost 38 yrs old and 7 weeks pregnant with my 1st child. Fatigue and nausea are taking over alll day. Its so uncomfortable and draining. Im happy im not working cause this would be so hard. 😢
Sending love!
@@NatalieCrawfordMD ❤️ thank you
Can you make a video about Hypermesis Gravidarum (HG) ?
Very important subject that not get enough exposure.
I have been taking perelel health pre natals but I see this has golate as l5 nethyltetrahydrafollate calcium. Ks this good to take or should i just take folic acid
10wks and gained 13lbs already. Doc says I’m right in track
Omg where are you located?! Love for you to be my doctor!!❤❤
Can you add a separate 400 mcg folic acid on top of Ritual prenatals. ? Is that safe?
Thanks
I’m currently 6 weeks and sooo nervous
Wow I am absolutely freaking out this is like the only video I ran into where someone says you shouldn’t change your cat litter box while pregnant!!! Now I’m so worried! One of my cat is obsessed with raw meat. I’m going to have someone else clean it now but this is really scary.
Thank you for this! You mentioned ginger tea to help with nausea, in general is ok to drink other herbal teas in moderation during pregnancy (for example green, chamomile or chai)? Trying to limit my coffee intake but I love a hot beverage in the fall! Thanks!
I believe no chamomile is allowed during pregnancy according to the doctors
I can't recommend specific herbal teas, but green tea and chai are not herbal as they have caffeine in them- just FYI.
I'm taking folate should I also take folic acid too?
Currently 4 weeks pregnant through IVF with Chromosomally normal girl. If I’m
Cramping some, that is normal correct?
When is cramping worrisome?
I just found out that I am 4weeks pregnant but a week ago I attended a wedding and had a few sips of white wine and another alcoholic drink. I did not finish both just a few sips. I am so afraid that it would affect my baby’s development. Will I be able to know on my first ultrasound if the alcohol had affected the development?? Will I know straight away if the fetus has birth defects???please answer I am so anxious.🥺
Please don't drink next time
At my age 46 years old my last pregnancy at may age 21 yeasts old my childs are 27 26 years old i dont know now how to feel im pregnant going now 7weeks
Mother and CHILD 😊😊
Great video. Asante
Is Dim supplement safe to take while pregnant?
im a lash tech, 4 weeks and i work 12 hours days - sitting for 11 of those hours. should i be worried?
Hello Dr. Crawford, can you please give us more tips about ovarian bloating after fertility treatment and what activities should we avoid? I like to stretch my waist left and right and stretch my back.. Will this be okay to do? Also, sometimes I touch my left & right abdomen and feel something inside, I feel like it gets pinched when I touch it. Is this normal?
I am 9 week pregnant after 5 years of trying. I am bleeding but my pregnancy is doing well. I am taking progesterone capsule and i still get brown blood. I am trying not to worry as i went er 4 times and baby looked fine.
howz ur baby now
