MY HONEST FEELINGS ABOUT PREGNANCY | ALEXANDREA GARZA 

Alex your hair in this video is absolute perfection!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽

Currently 37 weeks preggo with (surprise) baby #3 our first boy. I love watching a new Mommy prepare but also it's helpful because this is our first boy and it's very different. Your vidoes make me so excited for baby ( 10 more days) and also your attitude regarding being pregnant and delivery is perfect. Noone loves being pregnant and if they say so they're lying. Delivery will be fine. You'll get through it and most likely do it a few more times. Love your honesty.

So like you I wasn’t loving being pregnant, just loved the outcome. I had a very easy labor and delivery. I was so expecting the “movie” version... you know the yelling and screaming and that so wasn’t the case. I even asked my doctor after my daughter was born if that was it and if I was going to feel pain and she laughed and said that’s it. So I’m not sure if my outcome was the norm but I had gotten myself so worked up after hearing and seeing on tv all the crazy deliveries that I was a nervous wreck and honestly it was the best experience ever! I wish you guys the absolute best and as always you are seriously glowing and gorgeous! Pregnancy looks good on you!

I am pregnant now and have been watching your videos to help me along the way! I’m so happy someone else has had a rough first trimester like me! I feel like I can identify with your pregnancy.

I totally agree with you pregnancy isnt all fun and games. Its a beautiful process but its also a struggle at times. But like you said you get a beautiful miracle at the end. I'm currently going through the same...the heartburn and things of that sort make me a bit impatient but then you feel baby kick and its just reassuring that this struggle is worth it. ❤so excited for you!!!

you should do a hair and makeup tutorial on this look 😍

@ello.Vanessa I’m pregnant too!!! I’m 18 weeks with a baby girl. This is my little rainbow baby so my husband and I are very excited to come this far. I love watching your videos, can’t wait until you decorate your babies nursery.

No I hated being pregnant. Both times were awful. Like you, I just wanted my baby and wished I could skip everything else.

Y'all let's pray whenever we get pregnant we look at hot as Alex!! Hot mama!! Instagram @annasophiamolina , hoping I winnn!

I am so happy for you! Just wanted to mention re:your skin darkening. There is a skin condition that frequently happens during pregnancy, where you get dark spots or patches of darkness. It's due to the hormones and totally normal. It usually goes away shortly after you give birth, so don't worry! You are glowing😚. BTW I love your tree!

Please sprinkle some baby dust my way! After my miscarriage we've been praying and leaving it in God's hands. You and Mallory give me so much hope. Btw I totally knew you were pregnant before you announced it. So beyond happy for you! @xoevelisa

Girl I love this raw life video!! I am not pregnant, but I know for sure when that day comes I will be re-watching all of these videos!!

Alex! You used to do my brows when you worked at Ulta in Okemos :) every time I went in, you'd tell me how nice my skin looked and hated me when I said that I didn't use any skin care or washed my skin haha. Love you! Instagram: @Julee0295

You look great Alex. I really love your style.

As an OB nurse I agree that the overwhelming response from most mommas is that pregnancy isn't quite as glamorous as social media mom's can make it out to be 😳. Still awesome and amazing, but not everyone loves loves being pregnant. Worth it in the end though! My insta handle is kjoelle11 😘

I just wanted to let you know I have been researching for months for helpful videos throughout my pregnancy journey and yours are by far the most helpful. I am going on 25 weeks and all of your videos are so inspiring. Thank you!!!

Hated being pregnant!!! Would rather have my emergency c section over and over than ever do another 9 months pregnant lol

Pregnancy looks good on you Alex! Your glowing♥ Would love to win that beautiful handbag! My Instagram handle is @hannahg1994

I knew I was having a boy with my second!! I had his name picked out for years , it’s Austin btw😀I always wanted 1 boy and 1 girl and that’s what I got!! I had kids very young so I got my tubes tied at 30!! My kids are such gifts from God and they bring me such joy!!😀

I am so glad you were honest and told how you didn't feel like yourself. I have felt like that from day 1, before I even knew I was pregnant. I can relate to your pregnancy so much! Thank you for sharing! I can't wait to see the nursery!

instagram @bkosburn the red lips with that sweater..killin it! cant wait for your line!! xoxoxoxo

Ah alex I have been following you since your pre wedding days and you were still an Ulta employee Hah! And to think now you are such a big RU-vid sensation, a mrs., and now a momma to be!!

I don’t know how you get more and more pretty omg! 😍 Btw: thank you so much for this generous giveaway we all really appreciate it! 💛💛💛 also my instagram handle is: @jackiethomaz 💓💓

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I’m also pregnant with a little boy, and I’m also due in March! It’s nice watching and relating to someone going through the same thing!!! It’s so so exciting! :)

I've had 2 pregnancies and I can definitely understand the feeling of wanting to feel normal. Once I went to the beach and dug a hole for my bump so I could lay completely flat because I missed it SO MUCH. The bag is absolutely stunning! @jaseattle

Been watching since your wedding bells series 💁🏻💁🏻💁🏻 _holakitty xoxo ps I’m 22 weeks pregnant I’ll find out if it’s a boy or girl Saturday 🎈💕🎉🙌

You have that pregnancy glow!! 😍❤️ I miss having that glow!! Bless you and the baby!! Out of breath? Hahaha! Preggers problems😩 I’d love that purse! I’m a college student in debt who is a single mother to a beautiful baby boy as well!! My IG is @melgarcia__

I'm due on the 21st march and feel the same as you. I had horrible morning sickness, was actually hospitalised and couldn't even drink water. Worst 3 and a half months ever! I'm having a little girl and it's my second. We had an emergency c section after 36 hours of labor for the first so I'm feeling a little scared for birth again. It's been really lovely sharing this journey with you and Mallory 😊

I’m so glad i found your channel and the vlog channel!!! i had a miscarriage last month and watching your videos have honestly helped me on so many levels. instagram name is: @dominique.rachelle love you and i’m so excited to see this beautiful, amazing boy you bring into this world.

Yay for a March baby! I always get so excited to hear mothers expecting in March. You are glowing! I am loving all the pregnancy videos! My IG is lori_laubach.

That's so funny that you felt relieved when finding out you're having a boy. I felt the same way but about having a girl! :) I am a middle school teacher and although the girls are more emotional (obviously lol) the kids who are always in trouble, poor grades, disrespectful, etc. are 99.9 percent of the time boys. That worries me for if I ever have a boy!

IM pregnant as well with my first baby 🤗 it’s so exciting !! I’m just entering my second trimester your videos are so helpful I can actually really relate to you ❤️❤️ good luck with the rest of your pregnancy girl sending lots of love!!

🦒💙🦒💙🦒💙🦒💙🦒💙🦒💙🦒💙 The 🦒would be so cute in his neutral nursery You look absolutely gorgeous❤️ I’m loving this background ❤️ °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°❤️ Oh no your scare before Thanksgiving Just rest and drink plenty of water 💦 Lol pregnancy brain 😂😘😘😘 Pregnancy is fine but having them to cuddle is so much better. I have 3 wonderful boys my 1st one was born 3/29 I have to say he’s the sweetest, very humble quiet respectful young man 💙I think us as mothers are biggest wishes is that they grow up to be respectful men 💙of God IG ciliawillia 🦒💙🦒💙🦒💙🦒💙🦒💙🦒💙🦒💙

I’m not pregnant and I’m loving the updates! Kieunguyen83

IG: @meraznatalie Omg y'all posted the Vlog and this video at the same time. I was stressing 😂😂😂 I love your style! I totally agree that RU-vid lacks baby boy videos. I have two boys and man was it tough to find things. I did the same for the nursery just warm neutrals. My skin did the same when I was pregnant. It drove me insane but a month or two after i delivered they lightened up. Now I'm four month postpartum it almost gone!! I did enjoy pregnancy but I was like you I wanted my baby and I wanted to hold my baby and cuddle with my baby. Lol I didn't have a birth plan or anything. Lol the nurses were kinda confused because most women are very adamant about their birth plan. I was like I just want my baby to get here safe. I had two calm med free labors ♥️

I️ did NOT enjoy pregnancy!! I️ felt like I️ was not in control of my body at all. And I️ completely had that feeling you are describing where I️ just did not feel like me anymore. I’m so glad you’re being so honest! It is hard to explain that you aren’t feeling well or that you don’t enjoy it because people can be so nasty, they almost act as though you’re being ungrateful or something. All I️ can say- by the end of the 40weeks, I️ had completely lost sight of having the baby, I️ just felt as though I️ was terminally ill! Lol then I️ had my daughter and the very second that she was born, I️ seriously came alive. It was magical. I️ can’t wait to hear all about the rest of your journey!!!💛

I wish I was pregnant right along with you but it hasn’t happened for me yet! I actually started watching your videos earlier this year to get my mind off of ttc, It’s been a year and 10 months of trying for me. I really hope it will happen for me in the very near future since most of your videos will soon be about motherhood. IG @hernandezerika09

Insta is @preslie_smith can you do a tutorial on your hair!?!?

I think you'll name him Carter or Connor! 😊 @rebeccadiane87

you are glowing😍😍 i got so emotional/excited as if i was your friend in real life when you announced your pregnancy because i feel as if i have grown with you following you for years! 😅❤️ wishing you & michael the best, and i am loving vlogmas this year! ❤️ @itsverenice fingers crossed! 🤞🏻

So excited for you girl! Just curious though, will you be trying for a girl in the future? 🤔😂 IG: mariah_joyxox

You are glowing! Would love to win this bag, @rachel_stone21

Baby boys are the best! I was peed on twice today but they are great regardless :) @mckenzienicole

Totally having dejavu through your pregnancy! My baby girl was born this past March so last year I was about as many weeks along as you! I also had the exact same nausea situation until about 20 weeks and definitely had the same thing where I didn’t feel like myself, it’s not just you. So excited for you to have a precious baby boy 💙

Im also pregnant and due almost around the same time as you, and we are both having a boy!! and its both our first. Im so excited! love watching your video's and seeing the similarities of our pregnancy! so far I feel the same on everything you have just explained in this video. I don't "love" being pregnant but Im definitely thankful for the blessing. the only difference between us is I had NO morning sickness what so ever so before finding out what you were having I thought for sure you were having a girl! lol oh and btw your glowing.. congrats on your pregnancy.. I can't wait to find out his name!!

Girl listen. I’ve been pregnant three times and I’ve had three beautiful girls out of it and I love them more than life but I hated (almost) every minute of being pregnant. It’s so overwhelming trying to learn and understand everything you have to do during pregnancy. Not to mention I was sick basically the whole time I was pregnant with all three. And I was like you, I couldn’t wait to just have my baby here and Feel back to normal again. But honestly I don’t think you ever will be like your old self again. You are still you but it’s a transformation of the old you to new mom you. I don’t know how to explain it but I’m sure you will understand when he gets here! Not saying it’s a bad thing either, just saying it is different! Wishing you all the best and a safe delivery!! 💙💙

I’m glad you’re okay Alex, you’re a champ!

Hydroquinone is NOT ace to use while pregnant or breast feeding. A great option for any hyperpigmentation and melisma is White Lightening (which is a lot safer than hydroquinone) from the brand , IS Clinical. Every product is botanically based so during pregnancy and breast feeding it is 100% safe to use. White Lightening lightenings any dark or uneven pigmentation while exfoliating the skin to help with breakouts and fine lines and it is extremely moisturizing. I’m a master esthetician in Seattle so I add a lot of these products into my clients skin care routine pregnant or not. Hope this helps!

I’ve been pregnant twice. First time I was nervous and just scared the whole time. Overall I was happy when it was over. Second time around because I knew what to expect, I enjoyed it way more. Even though both times I had cholestasis, that was the only hard thing to go through. After my second baby, I can honestly say I’m more sad to know I probably won’t have any more children. It makes me appreciate that fact that I carried my baby’s and experienced pregnancy in general. Labor the first time to me was scary because it was unknown to me. My second time, I was induced and was a lot easier. If there’s one thing I learned, was during labor just keep the audience down to a couple of people, it will get overwhelming with everyone talking to you. It can feel mean, but you definitely want to be relaxed.

Congrats to you both! Loved this video! What pregnancy app are you using?

I’m loving the sweater!! I tune in to yours and michael’s vlogs everyday and their ethe only thing that get me through the Week and I made the salted caramel chocolate cookies and they came out AMAZINGG!!

I am so late watching this but I have finally watched 😊 it’s been a joy watching your pregnancy journey Alex. It’s very interesting to see everyone’s thoughts, and opinions on the process. I have two kids and each pregnancy was definitely different. I think the darker pigmentation you’re experiencing are from the changes in your hormones. And I honestly can agree with you about feeling about pregnancy. You truly don’t feel like yourself and it can be very hard. I don’t enjoy being pregnant but I enjoy being a mom so much that it’s like i am willing to do it for the end product lol but one thing I hate about pregnancy is the low energy I have because I am such a busy body. I enjoy making list of task and completing my task and staying busy all day lol my husband thinks I am a bit neurotic but I am such a perfectionist and pregnancy both times have sloooow me down lol I want one more baby within the next couple of years sooo I have an idea to train for pregnancy lol like get my body is such shape because right now I am 32 maybe if I train I’ll be able to endure the pregnancy better lol I have never been physically overweight I always been thin and gotten back down to my pregnancy weight but I need to build strength and stamina to carry baby next time lol anywho thanks for sharing your 2nd trimester experiences with us. I do enjoy watching your main and vlog channel. Hope you guys have a Merry Christmas ❤️

I love seeing pregnancy updates. I'm 21 weeks and having a boy also. this is our second baby and our first was a girl and let me tell you, from one pregnancy to the other it has been completely different. I'm also right there with you that just is ready to feel normal again and ready for the baby to come. I have to admit, in both my pregnancies I have not been a big fan of actually being pregnant lol. I'm just always more excited for the baby to get here. plus my pregnancies have been tough so its not exactly the most enjoyable. although, my favorite part is also feeling baby kick. (and seeing them during ultrasound appointments!)

I looooovvvveeeedd being pregnant! I felt good, the most confident I've ever felt. But I also didn't get very sick at all. I had ligament pain and sciatic pain, but it never bothered me. I was very lucky. I miss being pregnant! But what you get out of it does overpower that. I love watching other people and seeing how different and similar things are!

Alex, you should use a product with hexyresorcinol in it. At a 2% it's safe for pregnancy and a better alternative to hydroquinone. It'll help lighten pigmentation and prevent pigmentation. It's safe for breast feeding as well. Lira pro lite is a great one!

I have a 3 year old little boy. Pregnancy 🤰 was ok. I wasn’t super in love with how I felt but I was grateful to be growing a baby 👶🏼 I was definitely anxious and impatient for him to come. (He was 3 weeks late). You look beautiful and congratulations 🎈🎉🍾 you guys are having a boy!!!!

Omg Alex , im pregnant with my second baby and im due middle March as well. I am so excited 😍

Traversouras is my insta, and you knowww I’ve been following both of you and your channels forever now 😊 so amazing how generous you guys are being to your followers and other organizations this year ❤️ love you guys!

I love you guys so much, I do a little happy dance when you upload😄especially on your vlog channel😊 The vlog you just uploaded was HILARIOUS when Michael walked by and said the jacket is from Zara and dropped it on the bed 🤣lmao I can't😂 love you guys, can't wait to meet the baby boy! @botanicallybrianna ❤

Looking forward to watching your hauls! Expecting my first child/son in April! So exciting 🤗

I️ had freckles that turned darker when I️ was pregnant with both of my kids as well! It’s because the estrogen and progesterone levels are really high when you’re pregnant and it causes pigmentation, melasma, and that dark line to appear on your bump. Be thankful that you don’t have popped capillaries right on your face because I️ did! I️ had a huge spot of popped capillaries (spider angioma) right on my nose during my first pregnancy. It was not fun trying to cover it up with concealer on a daily basis! Thank goodness for lasers though! As far as melasma, it’s been pretty stubborn. Pretty hard to get rid of. 😕 I️ like your attitude regarding labor/delivery! Like you said, don’t work yourself up. Take it one step at a time. Just enjoy your pregnancy! Once you get to the labor stage, it’ll come naturally, it’s not gonna be scary as you think it will. Everything will be good!

I hated being pregnant. It gets worse later on good luck Alex! You’ll do fine.

When I was pregnant I couldn't wait for my daughter to come but there are sometimes i just want to go back to when I was pregnant. It was just amazing to carry a life and feel her kick or move.

I honestly did not enjoy being pregnant, it took a while for me to finally feel like myself again but I would it a million times to have my daughter. She's the best! I just kept telling myself to tough it up.

You look gorgeous in this particular video! Praying for your pregnancy! 😊

What do you use on your belly to avoid stretch marks, can you do like a belly care routine?

I know this would sound horrible but I hated pregnancy. I LOVE having my precious kids but the 40-wk journey to get there are the worst weeks I had. It messed up my body, I felt sick and tired and weak, helpless & depressed. No, not fun at all!

I got lucky with my pregnancy no nausea, stretchmarks, cravings, no energy. Its doing good for me so far❤️

Pregnancy looks good on you! When did you first feel him kick? I am 15 weeks with baby #2 but it's been a 5 year gap between babies and I can't remember when my daughter first kicked!

Omg I’m due at the beginning of April with a boy as well. Everything you said is the same as me 😍 new favorite youtuber

You look great, Alex! I don’t plan on having kids but I watch almost all of your videos so I had to watch this! I love you, Michael and Colbie!!! OH and I also live in Michigan!! ❄️ right in the middle of the state! can you tell me where your sweater is from?!

I have a question , what kinda of drinks did u drink also what kinda foods did u eat ??? I want everything to go well for my pregnancy plz, also you and your family are adorable !!!!

It’s so fun to watch you guys in your journey into parenthood ;) you’ll be amazing!!!!! P.S. you’re glowing!!!! @laurluzier and that bag would so match my new coat perfectly

you're so precious!!!! I am so happy for you!

I hated being pregnant. I felt so limited on everything and it was very uncomfortable. After you have him and get home its weird when you feel something (like a gas bubble) and I used to think...is there another one in there!? I wasn't nervous for the delivery...I was actually ready for it to be over until the day came. I had a scheduled C section and I didn't want to go. You will be surprised though about how calm you will be and knowing what you will get after its all over makes it worth it.

Oh, and fyi. You're not going to feel back to normal for several months post partum. So don't be surprised or discouraged when it doesn't come back right away. I'm 6mo pp and barely starting to feel like myself again..... but like, a new myself. It's hard to explain but motherhood changes you to your core so you'll never go back to who you were before you got pregnant but I think it's safe to say you'll be a better version of yourself!

You are really truly blessed to be carrying a low my daughter was up so high I had the absolute worst horrible acid reflex in my pregnancy that would make me cry my other daughter that I was pregnant with I didn't have it but one time and because I carried so high I still have acid reflex to this day I think it messed up my stomach .

yaaa!! Hope he comes on my birthday March 26!! congrats sweetie so happy for you!XOXO

Being pregnant is not easy. It is not always amazing .. it is uncomfortable, painful & we go through a lot BUT it is so worth it. Seeing your little baby grow.. feeling your baby move & knowing that this child is a product of the love between you and your partner makes it all worth it. I have good pregnancy moments & some days I don’t enjoy it at all but I just remind myself that I’m doing this for my baby. I’m so close to my due date ( 2 weeks! ) & I’m SO impatient. I am dying to meet this little girl .. I actually felt the same way you did in the beginning knowing it was a girl but feeling anxious about it.. it’s hard to believe I’m almost done ! She can be here any minute 😍 & you’ll probably end up feeling like it went by really quickly as well. I hope you enjoy the rest of your pregnancy ! My instagram btw is Pame.ort

Just come across this video randomly and yay we need more mammas wanting boys, so many women want girls and honestly I'm so happy my one and only child will be a boy. I love my nieces but my nephews are so entertaining and so much fun!

You look beautiful! But my skin also got dark spots with both of my pregnancy’s it took about 6-8 months to go back to normal, you have lots of extra hormones so it will take your body time

Im going to be 30weeks this Sunday!!🙌🙌 cant wait for my baby boy as well! Due mid February!!💙👶

Been following you and Michael for a while 😊 @daniurrego I’m 32 weeks pregnant and it’s such a relief to hear you say you’re not wild about pregnancy. I felt so alone when I read ladies just adoring pregnancy. Like you I was super sick until around week 20/22, why are all these ladies so pumped about being sick for months! Lol jk. Everyone is different. But I agree with you, it’s not my absolute favorite thing. Sometimes I think “I’m not having a second baby” but I’m sure as soon as I meet my baby girl that’s all going to go out the window, they’re going to be so worth it. Really happy for you and Michael! Hope you keep feeling better ❣️

I LOVED being pregnant! I, thankfully, had no bad symptoms at all so I know I was extremely lucky. I could've been pregnant forever haha ❤

When I was pregnant I got a kate spade diaper bag but now that my daughter is almost one I would say consider a backpack diaper bag, the skip hop greenwich is really nice I wish I got it.

make up and hair on point! i just gave birth 2 dats ago. it’s a surreal experience.. good luck!

I love your makeup and style!!

Also I've heard that body pillows are amazing for pregnancy, those really long ones!

Your going to be a great Mother :) super exciting

I’m due in the beginning of April! I had always heard that boys hang low as well, but I’m having a girl and at 22wks she’s still pretty low lol. Other than feeling her kick at night and the ligament pains, I hardly feel pregnant. I never had morning sickness, cravings, and I don’t really have much of a bump yet either.

Yes! I have a son and I’m pregnant with our second and I have this intense feeling this one is a girl and I get nervous because it was so intense for me being a girl when I was little, hormones, school drama, etc.

I felt the same thing before I always vision myself with a girl and when I found out that I was pregnant all I can think is wanting a baby boy. Im 17 weeks will find out in a couple weeks !!!!! good luck. besos

You look beautiful!!! Can you show us how you styled your hair?

Which side you have the maximum movements of the baby ? right or left ?

Yes baby boy haul I have a little girl she know 5 am expecting my son feb 2018 and I couldn’t be more excited!! But it’s more of a struggle finding cute fashionable boy clothes

I’m pregnant as well and I must say my first trimester was hard. I had no energy to do nothing. I’m not in my 2nd tri and about to find out the sex of the baby which I’m looking forward too.

_littleandy_ I hope that one day when I get pregnant I will be as stylish and beautiful as you Alex! 💕 I love you!!

@naditmer I'm pregnant with my second baby and I'll be 24 weeks tomorrow so we're super close with our due dates ! we are not finding out the gender, but it's fun following along with you on your first pregnancy !

@iheartzumba have loved alllll the videos alllll yeat long...congrats on your new baby boy!!!

I feel the same way about pregnancy! Love you Alex! xx from France
