I'm Pregnant! Finding Out & Symptoms (Weeks 1-4) | Kendra Atkins 

When I found out I could not get pregnant I was devastated but... I prayed and prayed and hoped and hoped and then I got pregnant but... Not long after that the baby did not make it I prayed and prayed and hoped and hoped and boy I got pregnant I got pregnant with four baby's

Kendra, I don't know if you'll see this but I need to share anyways. I had a miscarriage last year in March, January of this year we decided to try an conceive again, this month was month 5, if I didn't get pregnant we would move on to 6 months... I had been cramping, even had implantation bleeding which I just thought was my period coming early, then I started doubting if I conceived this month.. I watched your video Tuesday night... please know that by sharing your story I realized I had similar symptoms, I decided to test Wednesday night... and here I am with 2 positive pregnancy test, I feel like your video gave me hope, to believe it could be possible and it was!!!!!!!!!!! I obviously know your video didnt create this miracle but rather it helped me believe it was possible... So thank you for sharing 💜

just found out I'm pregnant today and according to the apps I'm 4 weeks 6 days pregnant with a little poppyseed. Excited and nervous:)

you look so much like Olivia Wilde!

I am pregnant with identical twin boys, so I am excited to go back through your videos! 13 weeks left!! 😬😬😬

me and my husband are trying to have a baby, the odds are against us but I think with a little faith and prayer we can conceive, could I please get a few prayers

I just found out I'm pregnant 3 days ago after one year of trying ❤️❤️❤️ so excited for my first baby

The glow on your face and the happiness in your eyes is so pure! This is coming from a woman who only wants four legged children. I can't wait to watch more of these videos!

Video starts at 2:30

Thank you for sharing your symptoms, I decided to test this morning as I had cramps on and off for the last 5 days, kept needing to go to the loo and felt very hot! I just got a positive test results and I’m obviously very happy but still shocked and want to got to the doctors so they can confirm it too!! I also got a dream that I was pregnant with two positive pregnancy tests on DPO 7 xx

I'm in the two week wait atm with 3 days to go, it's cruel

Omg thank you! I just found out last week that I'm pregnant and my first symptom was SUPER hunger. I told a few people about my over excessive hunger and they got scared for me because apparently that's not common. After hearing you had the same thing I feel so much better!

36 weeks later you have twin girls who are healthy and are called june and violet

You're very lucky---many women take years to get pregnant and you basically got it on your first real try.

I just received my 1st positive test yesterday ,I should have recorded it but I was too overwhelmed with excitement lol ironically today's my sister birthday lol so I'm going to surprise her 😻 I may record my pregnancy experience as well

Yup lack of motivation is a pregnancy symptom lol I remember I would always go on morning runs at least 2 times a week and all of a sudden one day it just sounded like the most impossible task ever lol also baby brain is REAL lol

Congrats again Kendra! I still have a hard time believing I'm pregnant every single time until my belly starts growing and I feel baby move :) You're glowing, so happy for you both!

Congrats! I'm 38 weeks pregnant this Sunday! Best feeling ever 😘💗 x

Did anyone experience heartburn in early pregnancy?

Congratulations! You're going to be a wonderful mom! Having a baby is one of the most amazing things ever! My daughter is 5 1/2 now and every stage of her life has been incredible to be a mom too. There are definitely challenging times but the positives outweigh the negatives ten fold! My daughter was a January baby as well! Look forward to watching your journey!

Exactly 5 years apart I find out I'm pregnant may 9th of 2022

I just found out im pregnant. My skin is soo soo extremely dry and breaking out..

First of all, i want to say, why would ANYONE give this a thumbs down??? moving on, congrats to you and andrew!! such an exciting time for both of you! its great you got a little journal, i wish i had done that with Madilynn so I could go back and look at it. Document EVERYTHING. Save all the ultrasound pictures. You can also go to Unique Ultrasound over by Old Town to do the gender reveal with the fam! they have a great sized viewing room with a big screen and couch so you can bring everyone if you want to! I hope your nausea starts to settle down some too (since by now you're farther along than when you filmed this). Congrats again! I'm so excited for you both!

Fertility Awareness Method, ladies! Look it up! It's all about getting to know your body, knowing when you are fertile

I'm in the 2 week wait stage and it's agonising! Have had all the same symptoms as you! Trying to be patient and wait to take a test but it's so hard! Watching this has been encouraging! Thanks!

Your symptoms during the TWW were exactly mine to a T!!! Congrats. Good skin = boy. That's my guess!! A boy! I found out yesterday were are having a boy. This is baby #3 for us. We have a daughter (7) & a son (5). I'm due 11/9 :D

Thanks for the video, I’m 10 DPO, & was trying for over 4 years & I’m getting some of those same symptoms & I’m hoping that I am pregnant 🤰🏾

This video made my day it is so cute to see someone so happy and so excited about becoming a mom this baby is such a blessing congratulations

January babies are the BEST! My birthday is January 18th. Praying that you have a healthy, happy and blessed pregnancy!

Congratulations to the both of you, one of my favorite memories from being pregnant was feeling my baby move. Congrats again!

Congratulations!!!! I don't comment on many RU-vid videos but just wanted you to know that for every comment you do get there are probably 20 more ppl out there who are very happy for you!!!

Haven't finished watching yet, but this is the best pregnancy vlog I've seen. Your symptoms were the same as mine (currently 18 weeks), kinda just shows the body is so amazing, like giving little clues!!! Can't wait to watch the rest of your journey. Best wishes to you and Andrew. I'm so excited for you! Also, so funny looking back knowing it's twins but you don't know at this stage - so many changes would have been happening! Can't wait to see the vlog where you find out.

congrats ! i am also a mom of twins i had such a great pregnancy. i didnt find out that i was pregnant till i was almost 4 months and found out that i was having twin boys ( identical) too. Theirs so much to talk about since twin pregnancy are different and consider high risk pregnancy feel free to message about any questions . congrats again#!

I'm 27 weeks with my second and watching your excitement brings back all my first feelings finding out with my pregnancies ! It's so exciting ! Congrats !!!

Please pray for me as am trying since 5 Years🥺🥺

YOU ARE SUCH A LOVING COUPLE!!! I can't wait to find my man out there one day...you're so blessed

I'm way late but congrats. Just found your channel and subscribed!

Off topic, but had anyone told you you look like Olivia Wilde? So beautiful!

congratulations! !! I had just had my baby boy. We now have 3 between us. Being a mom is the greatest blessing ever!

ahhhhhh im so happy for y'all! AND THAT ANNOUNCEMENT IS HUGE JUST SAW ON IG HEHE! xo

OMG! I'm also using Ovia as my main app. I am getting through the two week wait, and I am SO positive I am pregnant. I can't test until this coming friday (Oct. 13, 2017), but I know it will be positive. I have been so bloated, out of it, having DAY LONG hot flashes, leg cramps, cramping in the uterus, etc. Pretty much everything you can think of. I literally just got off BC on September 16th, and we decided we were going to start trying on the 24th. I know it's only October 7th, but I have known since at least October 1st that I was going to be pregnant, and I don't think the egg was even fertilized at that point! I could just feel it. I can't wait to see if I am right about this. YAY! Thanks for the video.

I remembered you did these videos and as I'm now 5 weeks pregnant I may watch these week by week again lol x

This is one of the request videos I've seen about pregnancy and how you felt wanting to get pregnant not psyching yourself out these are things most women don't talk about.

Congratulations to both of you and your families! It is so exciting and before you know your child will be here graduating from HS like mine...yikes...time flies so enjoy every moment! I can't believe all the apps and tests,I would drive myself crazy these days...I remember writing my period days in a book and counting of when I would be fertile and with 3 pregnancies it happened on a first try (2nd one I miscarried at 7 weeks due to chicken pox) and both of my kids were born exactly 5 days before the due date...and I smelled everything too but the smell of meat would have me running for washroom! And my husband is a crier too...one of the best qualities! Cheers!

congratulations!!!!! so happy for you & your hubby.

You're so cute! Congrats to you and Andrew!!! Twins are terrifying but so so fun and interesting. The twins I nanny are so different and even though they are only 8 months their personality differences are VERY apparent! So excited to watch you through this super fun journey!!!

I found out I was pregnant 8 days before my missed period. I’m having identical boys. I found out it was positive from my husband! It was so early to be testing so I laid it there and forgot about it during the long wait. Came home from a hair appointment to a very excited daddy to be. That was my first hint that there was two!

Video hasn't even began and I wanna shout CONGRATS!!!!!! I may not comment much but I've followed for AGES! Love ya girl

Awe! I'm so happy for you! My hubby and I have also been trying since January. I have a pretty good idea when I ovulate but am not charting temps (because I don't want it to cause additional stress). Can you link to the strips that you used? I've looked into the ovulation monitors but those are a couple hundred dollars. (We decided we'd take additional steps if we aren't pregnant by October.) PS: I'm a Kendra too.

I'm not saying that you don't talk pause till you said keep you in prayer if you just talk positive everyday everything should go okay and when you get ready to have the baby remember this all y'all ladies on here pregnant remember don't let the label take control of your pregnancy you take control of the pregnancy okay thank you making me a part of your journey and you are funny you made me laugh

I already watched this when you posted but I came back because I'm in the Two-Week-Wait and this gives me hope! I've been cramping similar to what you explained...low period cramps that are a bit duller than actual period cramps, and I'm not due to get my period until Aug 8....fingers crossed I'm pregs!

Congratulations Kendra!!!! :D My sis-in-law went through that whole morning sickness phase for almost the entire pregnancy! but what really helped at the beginning was keeping something close that had a Lavender scent. Like a candle or essential oil, it works like a charm! :) Good luck!!!! so exciting!!!! :D

How special! I had 5 and each was so very special! Enjoy every minute of it! So happy for you and Andrew!

So crazy watching this again now that I’m pregnant with my 4th and we pretty much have the same due date. Watching bc my symptoms are so strong and I’m wondering if it’s twins. They don’t run in my family but you never know…

There is nothing in this world more rewarding then being a mom:) I just had my second;) It took 2 1/2 years to get pregnant with her. I never thought I was going to have children due to PCOS and health issues...I know the feeling of looking at that test and seeing 2 lines:) This made me cry watching that sparkle in you and your husband's eyes! I am so excited for you Kendra!!! Thank you for sharing this with all of us:) Just wait till your little one to start moving...There is nothing like it, TRUELY God's creation. Emily

How long did the cramping last?? I had cramping with my last pregnancy but it ended in a miscarriage. Just found out Thursday (today is Tuesday) that I’m pregnant again, somehow. I was taking the ovulation test for the last month to track when I ovulated to prevent pregnancy this month but I never got a positive. My doctor said to wait 2 cycles before we started trying again so that is what we were trying to do

Yay!! Congrats to you and Andrew!!!👪👨‍👩‍👧

Congrats!! I feel like I've been watching your channel for so long. So happy for you. Cherish all the moments along the way, it feels like forever but my oldest is 9 and I swear he was born just yesterday. Hoping for a healthy pregnancy!

Congarts!! My husband and I aren't trying yet. However every month I kind of hope my period won't come and I'll be pregnant. Last month I was 9 days late and I was hopeful. I bought a pregnancy test but it was negative and my period came 3 days later. (I recently went gluten free so I'm blaming the diet change on the late period) I'm also take prenatal vitamins. Even though we are not trying we agreed that if we accidentally fall pregnant it won't be too upsetting. I'm more excited for telling my mother then my husband. She's dying for a grandchild. Her birthday is in August and I'd love to fall pregnant in time to make a gift box for her.

Anybody used to get bad heartburn with certain foods that randomly disappear early pregnancy I used to suffer with onions because of my ibs but ate them yesterday an nothing just curious if you have expecianceed that

Congratulations!!!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉💐💐💐💐 you will be a great mom! Have a happy and pain free pregnancy journey 😊🎉🎉💐💐🙏🏻

That awkward moment when your boyfriend's name is Andrew and your period is suppose to start on thursday too.......

Aww this is so exciting-congratulations! As a mama of three, listening to you talk about ttc makes me happy-weepy. So happy for you!!!

Wig my first pregnancy I’ve liked to be sick cause that let me know that my baby girl was ok and I’ve got better in my second trimester so had to feel sick and feel my baby move and then my third trimester made me feel sick

So, ill be starting clomid soon and heard clomid can cause twins - so I’ve been searching for a solid channel about twins. After skipping through a bunch I found yours, and I LOVE it. I know this video is years old, but I know you’re still active here on RU-vid. 1.) you’re absolutely beautiful and look like Olivia Wilde. 2) I LOVE your personality and thank you for documenting your journey! Xo

Congrats!!! I'm almost 16weeks now.. So happy for you! I can relate to the disbelief moment you had. Lol! First trimester was rough. Had difficulty eating and my bloating was at its worst! Craved unhealthy food.. So sad but did not gain weight. No energy at all... Second trimester is a lot better. ☺️👍🏻 Let's keep praying! 🙏🏻

Ahhhhhh you two are so sweet. Stay in love forever. Congratulations on your growing family.

Omg!!! I'm so happy for you!!! I can't wait to see your journey.

Congrats on becoming a twin momma! I have 5 month old twins, a boy and a girl. I found out I was pregnant just about a year ago, and was due in February of this year. My babies came about 6 weeks early, and they are happy and healthy! It is definitely a huge challenge having two, but it helps so much to have support from your husband and family. I couldn't have done it this long without them! My pregnancy was SO challenging, and I was exhausted the entire time. Hopefully yours goes a bit smoother 😆 Can't wait to watch all your pregnancy videos! ❤️ Good luck!!!

Can someone pray for me and my boyfriend to be blessed ! , I am a 20 year old adult and my boyfriends 20 too .. we have been ttc for six months .. much love to everyone who prays and I’ll pray for you 2 ! ❤️😭💗

Yea! Your due date is Rod Stewart't birthday! Congratulations and best of luck to you and your family!

Congratulations Kendra and daddy!!! I'm so excited for the both of you!👶🏻🍼💕💙😘

My husband and I are TTC, we are on month one , and I am on my TWW ! From 8:00 mins to 8:35 are literally all my symptoms ! I haven't really looked into my symptoms much , like I have documented them but not done research, until today where my breasts are so sore and I have awful pelvic and lower back pain which is all new for me. I can test earliest of next Wednesday, I am due my period Friday. But you are so similar to me, all these symptoms. I haven't wanted to look into it too much as I don't want to psych myself up (yet!). I'll check in next week to let you know what the news is :)

I'm so happy for you👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 you are going to be a great parent what a blessing!❤️ Good luck on your journey!! And also are you going to film the birth Can't wait till January ☺️

I know this is wayyyy late. But I honestly feel like you are telling my story right now. I used Ovia and after using the ovulation strips I found out that I ovulated almost a full week earlier! Thank you so much for sharing!

I'm so happy for you and I love following these types of videos!

What test strips do you use?

Thanks for the vid! I just found out I'm pregnant a few days ago and still feeling shocked and overwhelmed. Listening to your story makes me feel calmer and more confident moving forward. thanks for being so open! Cheers

Hi Kendra, I wanted to ask when you used the ovulation strips did you also checked it with your ovia app? I've been using that app for three months now. I just want to know is it accurate or the ovulation strips worked to help it out more? Thanks for taking the time to read it if you get the chance too.

Haha tmi but the cm does NOT go away. just get used to feeling like a slug. 😂

These apps confused me as well. The best advice I got from a friend was to listen to my body and BAM

I came back to watch this video and I’m just like wow... the super early results were telling you that you had double the hormones from your TWINS! How amazing! 😍

This is so wonderful, congratulations to you both!!

Congratulations 🎉. I’m currently in my two week wait and obsessively watching videos 😅

See I've had these symptoms and everything you described but I keep getting negative tests 😂

You guys are SO cute😭😭😭 from that one minute appearance I can tell you guys are a loving couple 💕💕💕

I just got my wisdom teeth out today so Ive pretty blah all day, but this completely made my day! I am so excited for you

Congrats to both u n Andrew!! Am so happy for u guys n am excited to live this experience with u. It's such a blessing thanks for sharing this important part of ur life with us. Oh n btw have been watching some of ur older videos, n let me tell u that I am loving ur channel n ur videos. xoxo 😘😁💞

So happy for you!! Congrats!!!

I love the idea of telling ppl by giving them a gift. I think I’m going to use it. I’m pretty certain I’m prego but haven’t gotten a positive result yet. Telling ppl scares me because you never know their off the cuff response and I’m trying to stay in positive energy. Hopefully a gift/card will give them time to think before they speak. Although pregnancy is a blessing some ppl unintentionally react in various ways. Thanks for the idea. I’m also going to wait until the end of the 1st trimester. I’ve had almost all the symptoms since right after sex. My only difference is I actually had positive energy the day after having sex as opposed to the crankiness you described. Boy did my boobs start to hurt right away and my period was over 2 weeks away so I know it wasn’t pms. I also had/have what they call abdominal twinging which is similar to light cramping but feels different like your stomach muscles are contracting. I also felt more gassy which is not normal for me at all and I had more cravings for healthier foods/fruits. Again, waiting for confirmation but I’m 98% certain. Btw.. I’m also 41 so anyone who thinks you can’t get prego after 40 don’t believe anyone. Everyone is different. If anyone wants I’ll report back once I receive confirmation if it’s requested.

Congrats Kendra! You're glowing with happiness; enjoy it and keep the pregnancy videos coming!

We are trying for another baby 👶 I can't wait babies are just the best and most lovely 😊

So exciting! I was so excited to see your announcement on Instagram and am so glad you posted this video! I can tell you are over the moon excited, yet still slightly in shock this is all finally happening! I hope you have an amazing, healthy, and happy pregnancy! Congrats to both you & Andrew!!!!!

Have u ever done pregnancy test? I am guessing that I am pregnant but yesterday I’ve done a pregnancy test and the result is negative🥺

Was your app telling you that you were ovulating a week later than you actually were?

So incredibly happy for you and your husband, you'll both make such wonderful parents, God bless you and your family!!

Congratulations! I'm not a mom yet but it must be an amazing journey. Best wishes for you and your family!!

Me to now I'm pregnant it really works and I'm so happy

How long after ovulation did you start getting cramps? I'm cramping right now and I'm 8 days post ov (I think) and have been cramping since yesterday (7dpo)...and of course we're TTC so I'm analyzing everything and it's driving me crazy. Kendra or any other ladies who have input please let me know!!!

you're so lucky to have an appetite at that stage. I had HORRIBLE hyperemesis until about week 16
