1:36
sometimes but no it is because I just
1:39
went up two flights upstairs I was
1:41
downstairs in the basement came up to
1:44
the second story of our home and I'm out
1:45
of breath so that is where we're going
1:47
to kick off today's pregnancy symptoms
1:50
so again I'm almost 32 weeks creeping up
1:53
on 32 weeks now I am so so ready at this
1:56
point that is just something that you
1:59
begin experience when you get you know a
2:02
little later in that third trimester a
2:04
recap of the second trimester second
2:06
trimester was great it was of course a
2:08
lot better than first trimester I know
2:10
that it is not that way for every mama
2:14
with my first trimester pregnancy recap
2:17
and updates I shared a lot of the things
2:19
that helped me with like nausea with
2:22
insomnia acid reflux and
2:26
heartburn all the things that helped me
2:29
to you know be comfortable I shared some
2:32
pregnancy things that of course you
2:34
would still want to run by your doctor
2:36
always when you're taking advice from
2:37
anyone but things like B6 and unism for
2:41
insomnia and nausea I shared some
2:43
natural things like ginger and
2:45
peppermint candies as well as like just
2:49
things that you can do throughout the
2:50
day like as far as things to eat how
2:52
often to eat how much to eat sleeping
2:54
positions probiotics all the things that
2:58
helps with some of the those like
3:00
nuisance pregnancy symptoms that can
3:03
make pregnancy feel not so great so if
3:06
you have not checked that one out
3:08
definitely check it out especially if
3:09
you are still filling some of those
3:10
symptoms you know into the second
3:12
trimester and the third trimester as
3:14
well for me things began to get a little
3:16
bit better just before I hit 12 weeks so
3:19
may be 11 weeks but then by 14 weeks it
3:22
begin to become kind of amazing so at
3:25
that point I was able to be a lot more
3:27
active I could eat a lot more of the
3:28
foods that I wanted to eatat without
3:30
having heartburn without being full
3:32
without being nauseous I was able to
3:33
sleep well again I did purchase the mom
3:36
cozy pregnancy pillow as well as the
3:38
back and tummy wedge which is a wedge
3:40
that you put like under your tummy to
3:43
support it and then one from behind your
3:45
back and I began using that one very
3:48
early on in the second trimester you
3:50
guys have the worst back pain right now
3:51
I'm telling you that third trimester you
3:54
get all of the pregnancy feels woo so
3:57
pregnancy pillow definitely a must have
3:59
throughout the entire pregnancy because
4:01
there are ways that you use it all the
4:04
way throughout help you to get the most
4:07
comfortable sleep get baby into the
4:08
correct positions and you know things
4:11
like that so be nice to yourself and
4:12
invest in a good pregnancy pillow if you
4:15
can and if not definitely try Facebook
4:17
Marketplace secondhand shops things like
4:20
that moms who are done with their
4:22
pregnancy they typically donate them and
4:24
get rid of them and you know you can
4:26
always find a good one like that if you
4:29
can exactly afford one at the moment I
4:31
highly recommend it it's going to be
4:33
your front that is one thing that has
4:35
helped me throughout the second
4:36
trimester and going into the third
4:38
trimester as well another thing that has
4:40
been helping me a lot in the second
4:42
trimester is staying active but not
4:44
pushing myself too much outside of the
4:47
10day Disney trip that my family took
4:50
where we were walking in the Parks
4:52
anywhere from 8 to 14 hours every single
4:54
day light exercise is going to be great
4:57
I cannot believe that we did that but I
4:59
think that that walking that I was able
5:01
to get in helped a lot before Disney
5:04
baby was not head down after Disney baby
5:07
was head down and ready in that birthing
5:09
position I do not want to film this
5:11
video sitting like this but she has been
5:14
on the road today you guys I have been
5:16
feeling so much pain today let's see
5:21
what we can do here we
5:23
go so this is a very realistic pregnancy
5:28
update video I have like acid reflux and
5:30
heartburn as we are speaking the worse
5:33
pain like right above my right hip like
5:36
in my lower back where was
5:39
I lots and lots of movement in the
5:42
second trimester baby has been super
5:44
super active moving so so much typically
5:47
when I'm a very very active baby is a
5:49
little more chill relaxing because of
5:51
the movement of you know our bodies it
5:54
can be kind of melodic or rhythmetic for
5:57
the baby and relaxing and it's like
5:58
swing and to sleep and then we finally
6:01
relax and lay back all of a sudden
6:03
baby's up and moving and now they're
6:05
active but she has been very very active
6:07
throughout the entire second trimester
6:09
and even still now except now it has
6:11
gotten a lot more like that in the third
6:14
trimester the kicks become a little bit
6:17
more painful you can see them a lot more
6:20
they're a little uncomfortable Now
6:21
versus in the second trimester when it
6:23
was all sweet and stuff like that it's
6:25
still sweet don't get me wrong but it
6:27
hurts a little bit more now lots of
6:28
movement from Bab baby is active mom can
6:31
be active and it's highly recommended
6:33
that you do be very active in that
6:35
second trimester when you got some of
6:37
your energy back nothing too crazy like
6:39
lifting heavy weights and bending a ton
6:42
nothing too crazy like doing up a ton of
6:45
squats very early on just like a light
6:47
exercise like walking on the Mill
6:49
as well as like getting my house cleaned
6:50
and decluttered setting up the nursery
6:52
things like that is every that I was
6:54
doing to stay active in the second
6:57
trimester and stretches are also very
7:00
helpful too the nausea and all that good
7:02
stuff as I mentioned went away but some
7:04
new second trimester symptoms was a
7:07
little more like tiredness so like
7:09
walking up the stairs I was tired more I
7:12
would get dehydrated a lot quicker than
7:15
normal so I much much more water intake
7:18
I had very low iron so I had to have
7:22
them boost the iron in my prenatal and
7:24
even take a little like iron supplement
7:26
like I had some energy but still not a
7:29
ton T and that's because I was very low
7:31
on iron even before pregnant with baby
7:33
so that helped me a lot to keep my
7:36
energy levels up so definitely some
7:38
fatigue and exhaustion the breast
7:40
tenderness went away but it was just a
7:42
matter of finding comfortable clothes to
7:44
wear at that point everything felt like
7:46
it was too tight so make sure that you
7:49
you you be nice to yourself wear clothes
7:51
that is going to be comfortable even if
7:53
it's not the cutest I will take comfort
7:56
over cute any any day a lot of days I
7:59
was look just absolutely crazy and some
8:01
days even when I tried to be cute I
8:02
still felt like I looked a little crazy
8:04
T of maternity clothes I did purchase
8:06
and I know that I'm not you know
8:08
obviously not going to be wearing them
8:10
after the baby but it'll be great to be
8:12
able to gift them to another mom who is
8:14
pregnant or donate them to a secondhand
8:17
shop and things like that for a mom who
8:19
can use it so check your you know local
8:23
thrift stores resale stores and things
8:25
like that if you are looking for some
8:27
eternity clothes if you know to spend
8:29
money on something that you're not going
8:31
to be wearing like longterm I felt like
8:34
in the second trimester my skin got a
8:37
lot better like a lot of the skin issues
8:39
that I was having in the first trimester
8:41
when my hormone levels were still trying
8:42
to balance out I did have like a few
8:46
like breakouts and my skin was super
8:48
super dry but in the second trimester
8:50
less dryness of the skin definitely some
8:53
itchiness of the skin as my belly and my
8:57
back and boobs were stretching but as
8:58
far as like face and things like that it
9:01
didn't break out as much in the second
9:03
trimester it decided to get a whole lot
9:05
better and it wasn't just extremely
9:08
extremely dry anymore so that was a plus
9:10
in the second trimester there wasn't a
9:11
ton of bad symptoms in the second
9:13
trimester I'm telling you guys it was
9:15
really the best trimester ever later in
9:18
the second trimester is when I began to
9:21
experience like difficulty sleeping so a
9:24
lot of nights like in the last few weeks
9:27
of my second trimester I slept up just
9:29
sitting upright so I have like a ton of
9:32
pillows on my bed in addition to my
9:34
pregnancy pillow and my back and stomach
9:38
support wedges some after I would eat I
9:41
just couldn't lay flat because of the
9:43
acid reflux that's began to come back
9:45
towards the end of the second trimester
9:47
so I just couldn't I couldn't get
9:49
comfortable some nights and some nights
9:51
I just I don't know I couldn't sleep
9:53
very well that is something that creeped
9:55
back up towards the end of the second
9:56
trimester and it's still here and
9:58
probably getting worst a week by week
10:01
just having a ton of like comfy pillows
10:03
to be able to just sit up right and be
10:05
able to fall asleep has been great and
10:07
sometimes I even would put my pillows in
10:10
front of me then like open my legs to
10:12
create like space for the baby or for my
10:14
stomach and just lean forward and fall
10:17
asleep like that if I was super
10:19
exhausted and then eventually like once
10:21
I was just like falling asleep super
10:23
exhausted I would be able to like lay
10:24
back and fall asleep again there was
10:27
once inside the second trimester where I
10:29
had to to take a unisim because like a
10:31
half of a Unison because the I couldn't
10:34
sleep it was just that bad the hormonal
10:36
imbalance I really could begin to feel
10:39
when I was like on that emotional roller
10:41
coaster where I just was happy or sad or
10:44
angry or Snappy or irritable so the
10:47
emotional roller coaster is something
10:49
that definitely came back in the second
10:51
trimester too so that's been fun for the
10:52
whole family um my level of patience has
10:56
become less so that's that that's been
10:59
great for the whole family as well one
11:00
day I did have to take like a serotonin
11:03
booster because we get like really gray
11:06
weather throughout the winter months
11:08
here and even early spring sometime can
11:10
be kind of gloomy and that mixed in with
11:13
like the hormones I've going through I
11:15
didn't want to allow myself to fall into
11:18
a state of like being sad during this
11:20
pregnancy or just period you know I did
11:23
have to take like a serotonin booster to
11:26
you know help with my mood as well as
11:29
like just make sure like I did a double
11:32
check at like my medical charts to see
11:34
which vitamins I was kind of missing out
11:36
on so like I had to make sure that I was
11:37
getting my iron my magnesium my B12 so
11:40
making sure that I kept up with that
11:43
stuff helped a ton I've been getting
11:44
Outdoors a lot as well that's been
11:47
helpful with my mood too now that it's
11:49
gotten a little bit warmer so if you
11:51
start to feel yourself like starting to
11:53
feel like you're on that emotional
11:54
roller coaster you're sad you're mad
11:56
you're irritable talk to your loved ones
11:58
who are in the home home with you about
12:00
that and express to them how you are
12:02
feeling but also check your vitamin
12:04
intake make sure that you are eating
12:06
well and I know sleeping well isn't very
12:10
very easy but if you're not sleeping
12:13
well but then you're also like during
12:15
the day overexerting yourself and then
12:17
you're also missing out on essential
12:19
vitamins your body can become irritable
12:21
it's like doing everything else if you
12:23
can't get any sleep still helps a little
12:25
bit you know as opposed to not getting
12:27
any sleep and missing out on all the
12:29
extra stuff that you need to just really
12:32
really try to be mindful um of your body
12:36
and the things that you need and keep up
12:38
with your health eating sugary things
12:40
fatty foods and things like that will
12:42
make it more difficult to sleep at night
12:44
as well as not be so great for your mood
12:47
so just keep in mind all of those things
12:48
when you're on that emotional roller
12:50
coaster and you're experiencing insomnia
12:53
vitamins mostly is what I've been
12:54
keeping up with not many medications in
12:56
the second trimester except the time
12:57
that I did have to do drama and we went
12:59
on our trip for motion sickness as well
13:02
as unisim the one time that I couldn't
13:04
sleep well later in the second trimester
13:06
I began to experience a little bit of
13:10
maybe lightning crot or like pubic pain
13:14
maybe a little bit more than what I did
13:16
with my first child I'm not sure why but
13:21
it has been very uncomfortable for me um
13:24
yeah down there it's been super super
13:27
uncomfortable talking about it is
13:28
uncomfortable but but the feeling has
13:29
been a lot um very much more
13:31
uncomfortable and that creeped up
13:33
towards the end of the second trimester
13:35
as well going into the third trimester I
13:37
don't have a big of a as as big of an
13:39
appetite as I did in the second
13:41
trimester but I can still eat without
13:43
the heartborne being too too bad and
13:45
that's at almost 32 weeks what will that
13:47
look like at 35 weeks not sure I'm going
13:50
to let you guys know in the first
13:51
trimester I just barely could eat
13:53
anything it was so so bad but like I can
13:56
still eat I just have to take like an
13:58
antis like Tums or milant to help with
14:01
the acid reflex and that typically helps
14:04
or like a gas relief tablet anything
14:06
just make sure it's approved by your
14:07
doctor that normally helps before bed to
14:11
help me to find some comfort and ease so
14:12
that I can still eat the things that I
14:14
want to eat a few nights ago I had the
14:16
worst Charlie horse that brought me to
14:20
tears when I was in labor with my son
14:22
and I had a natural birth with no
14:24
medication I did not cry through any of
14:27
the contractions
14:29
I cried when it was time to push because
14:31
it was just like a moment of like oh my
14:33
God this is really happening it's time
14:35
you know to deliver the baby and I have
14:36
to push and I was afraid like terrified
14:39
to push and so I cried not from like the
14:42
feeling of the pain but just from the
14:45
overwhelm but as far as like the pains
14:48
heavy
14:49
breathing and a little scream when I
14:52
tore no tears from Pain and you guys the
14:57
Charlie horse that I had
14:59
a few days ago last for 10 minutes and I
15:02
was in tears crying from how terrible it
15:06
hurted so I've been getting a ton of
15:08
like leg cramps and a ton of pains like
15:12
around my hips and my lower back and my
15:15
sides every once in a while I get some
15:17
very light cramps I think I did get the
15:19
nerve pain like around my hip area like
15:21
lower back with Noah for sure got the
15:23
nerve pain but this time it has been a
15:26
little bit of cramp and abdominal
15:28
uncomfortable
15:29
as well and some days it hurts just to
15:32
like if I'm sleeping bed with my legs
15:34
like this just me having to like open
15:36
one leg to get out of the bed that it
15:40
sometimes feel like I can't like it
15:41
feels like my legs are so heavy and like
15:43
it's so painful to like I can't I can't
15:46
even explain it you guys it's the
15:48
weirdest thing ever so I've been
15:50
experiencing some type of
15:51
uncomfortableness that I probably should
15:53
ask my doctor about so I can better
15:55
explain it cuz I've never experienced it
15:57
before and I have no idea that
15:59
reason for it since I didn't experience
16:01
it with my last son so every pregnancy
16:03
is going to be different but it hasn't
16:04
been unbearable it's definitely been
16:05
painful but not unbearable it makes it a
16:08
little bit harder to walk like when I'm
16:10
like cleaning going up and down the
16:11
stairs or shopping for flowers cuz
16:15
that's mostly where I go these days not
16:17
unbearable so definitely third trimester
16:20
brings on all the aches and pains and it
16:23
did so
16:24
rapidly so there's that and the
16:28
essential that I got got for the third
16:30
trimester that's been helping me is my
16:32
pregnancy ball so I did get a pregnancy
16:35
ball as I was entering the third
16:37
trimester because it helps sometimes
16:39
it's much more comfortable than sitting
16:41
on a bed or even sitting on a chair a
16:44
recliner like reclining back is
16:46
uncomfortable for me is either like
16:49
sitting upright or laying on my side
16:52
with a pill up under me B is also pretty
16:55
comfortable and then the light bounce
16:56
and the swing is kind of soothing and it
16:59
helps me to relax and it's like almost
17:01
bed height level so sometimes I will sit
17:04
on that ball and lay my pillow on the
17:06
side of the bed and just lay there and
17:08
bounce myself to sleep and that kind of
17:11
helps so investing the ball for sure it
17:13
helps to get baby in the optimal
17:14
birthing position of course is not
17:17
guaranteed but they say that it helps to
17:20
you know get baby in the optimal
17:22
position and you know doing those hip
17:24
circles and things like that also helps
17:27
as well it's kind of soothing kind of
17:29
comfortable too so my pregnancy ball has
17:31
been another fun thing that has been
17:34
helpful another one that came back from
17:36
the first trimester Is frequent trips to

the restroom so second trimester it was
17:42
still a little more frequent than pre-
17:44
pregancy of course but third trimester
17:46
is way more frequent than first
17:48
trimester it's quite annoying actually
17:50
because it's like you get comfortable
17:52
and your sleep and then it's like as
17:54
soon as you wake up even if it's just to
17:56
toss over on your other side at night
17:59
you have to well me personally I have to
18:01
get up and go to the restroom and I'm
18:02
sure it's just because of how low baby
18:05
is now
18:07
so here is baby she's low and yeah that
18:13
causes frequent trips to rest room that
18:18
is definitely one thing that is making
18:21
those frequent trips the restroom more
18:24
frequent today was probably the first
18:26
time that I experienced like the amount
18:28
of pain that I did today like a few
18:30
times we were at the store and I had to
18:32
just stop and like kind of breathe
18:34
through her movements or through like
18:36
the cramps that I was having it didn't
18:38
last long there was no bleeding or
18:40
anything like that to be worried about
18:42
just uncomfortableness it began to feel
18:45
that with Noah I don't remember at what
18:47
point but that is something that I did
18:49
begin to experience in the third
18:51
trimester with Noah I remember we go to
18:54
Walmart and my husband would be like I'm
18:55
not bringing you to the store with me
18:58
anymore because you walk too slow and
19:00
you keep having these random moments
19:02
where you have to stop and breathe
19:04
through some sort of aches and pains so
19:07
that is something that it didn't really
19:10
catch me off guard I guess only again 32
19:12
weeks a much more time left in this
19:15
third trimester so I will do a final
19:17
like third trimester like recap towards
19:20
the end of it and share some of those
19:22
like a later third trimester you know
19:25
symptoms or anything that has been
19:27

19:30
you know pregnant or some of the things
19:31

19:33
pregnant and if you have any tips that
19:35
could be helpful for me or another mama
