MY THIRD TRIMESTER Q&A | MOLLYMAE 

It's comforting to hear a positive pregnancy experience because we are so used to hearing the horror stories

I’m 37 weeks and literally feeling the exact same as u 😅 lack of breath, fingerprints left after touching belly, not being scared of labour, being exhausted, RESTLESS LEGS. One of the things that made me feel so confident in myself from the beginning is the saying ‘my body was made for this’ ❤️

On the stretch marks: stretch marks form deep in your skin’s epidermis so no lotions or creams, oils etc can penetrate that deep. It’s a whole scam!! I went to a skin specialist about stretch marks and they said laser is an option. In the end mine faded away completely! So yours will too I’m sure ❤

You and Tommy were my favorite couple on Love Island, I've followed your journey ever since, and when you said "Guys, I'm going to be a mum!" I couldn't stop smiling. So so happy for you

MOLLYY!! i just adore you so much. your videos honestly bring me so much comfort. love u loads and wishing u the best for the pregnancy of ur beautiful baby girl xx

The never feel lonely is spot on. Ive never heard anyone else say that before but i remember thinking that with my first.

so excited for the baby to come!! you and tommy will honestly make the best parents xx

I had the worst pregnancy and had to deliver my daughter at 30 weeks but I would never take offence to someone having a really good pregnancy. It's beautiful and it's so lovely to see you enjoying it so much and seeing a healthy and happy mum and baby 💗

I had an awful pregnancy, constant hospital trips to the point I had to have blood tests every single week, was constantly admitted to stay in hospital on almost every weekly check up 😴 hated it. Then a horrific birth... emergency c section and then an even worser recover with constant infections/sepsis that were untreaetd and became worse multiple times. NIGHTMARE 😭😭 BUT best little gift ever and would do it all over again for my baby and I just want to say! Although my experience wasn't easy, it's not upsetting or anything like that to hear that yours has been easy! don't feel bad for having a blessed experience. At the end of the day we are all blessed regardless! I hope the delivery of your baby is as easy as the pregnancy has been xxxx ❤

Sitting here watching this video as I’m watching love island again and I’m at the airy we’re the babies come and I just watched tommy sing a lullaby to this fake baby doll and I’m say here crying my eyes out because it was so beautiful and I can see him doing this with Bambi rn honest to god molly I’m so fucken proud of you both I’m so happy for you both congratulations you guys are so amazing 😢 and don’t feel bad for feeling good your entire pregnancy I have had 3 babies and all 3 times were a breeze I absolutely loved being pregnant and if I hadn’t gotten my tubes tied lol I’d prob have a hundred kids by now because for me I just loved it 😊

this may be my fave video of yours, love the transparency and honesty!!

So glad you’ve had a beautiful journey through your pregnancy, and yes it’s so important to talk about the good parts it doesn’t make you big headed. So excited for you, you’re gonna do amazing!

Molly you are our UK Kylie Jenner - I’ve never been so excited for some else’s baby 😂😂😂

Hey Molly, the marks of your hand when you press on the tummy it’s the blood perfusion, if it’s slower means the perfusion takes longer in that area. Hope it helps xx

Don't worry too much about the hypnobirthing - I didn't join a course or anything official but just listened completely to my body, let baby come himself and breathed to stay calm! Also had a water birth which helped massively! I also wasn't at all nervous for labour which I do think makes a difference. You're going in with the best attitude which is what will be will be and ultimately it will be the best experience because you'll have your baby girl at the end of it! X

i’m 10 weeks postpartum and my milk didn’t come in or leak at all until my baby girl was born! ever since i’ve had no problems producing, so don’t worry about that at all!

I’m due in 22 days I feel like so many people are having baby’s atm so exciting!!

Loving these long videos and wishing you a very safe and easy labour/delivery❤️

I am 39 + 4 and done a hypnobirthing course with my hospital and it was amazing! It’s educated me so much of what my body is doing and how I can control It. It’s good to have a education on something so you can try and have a positive birth. The breathing exercise and the BRAINS technique is the best thing I have taken away from it.

You’re RADIATING and I’m so happy for you and Tommy. Just found you today and I love this time for you..❤

Happy new year 🎊🎈 🎉 to u both Molly u will have a fab new year as a family of 3 and I must say u have always looked glowing all the way through ur pregnancy xxx

It is so refreshing to hear someone say honestly that they are enjoying being pregnant and looking forward to birth etc ❤I feel like I was the only pregnant person ever that didn’t moan constantly about it.

I've loved your channel for so many years even before you were on love island!! Just one thing, once the baby comes please don't make it a 'mummy' focussed channel it makes it hard to relate to for those of us who aren't having a baby/not near that stage of life !! Love you so much as always! xx

So happy for you! Can’t wait to see little baby girl 🥰🥰

Mol you shouldn’t be scared honestly I’ve had two girls Leyla and cali your truly a breath of fresh air every single time you Vlog upload I love that little bing of the notification saying you’ve uploaded I’m so happy inside the breath I can take I don’t know why you make me feel joy you make me feel happy your honestly amazing I love you I’m so happy to tag along this journey with you and Tommy and baby girl I have done both of my births drug free my first born Leyla I went in labour at 11 o’clock at night she arrived at 6:27 am the very next morning I was in active labour for 5hrs and 50 mins and my second born cali I went into labour at 11/12 ish at night and as I knew what I was doing I knew when I needed to go to hospital and didn’t despise to go untill the next morning I went in and arrived on the labour ward at 9:15am and she was born at 10:27am I was in active labour all night at home letting my partner sleep haha so definitely realise your amazing and you’ll do it don’t be scared your a machine when it comes to motherhood 🥰🥰🥰🥰 also edited as you can see my first born Leyla weighed 8lbs 7oz that’s big for a first baby and yet my second born cali weighed 7lbs 10oz and yet both was the complete opposite my first pregnancy I couldn’t stand McDonalds and the Big Mac secret sauce then the second pregnancy that was what I craved the secret sauce from McDonald’s and also another craving in my second was bbq sauce and mayonnaise not mixed together in a bowl but double dipped yeah hahah xxxx

It’s amazing that you’re not scared for labour - if you’re calm and excited about it it will likely make your labour easier and less uncomfortable. I loved my labour and would love to do it all again! Definitely do hypnobirthing! Xx

So lucky you’ve had a smooth journey through your pregnancy! I’ve got 2 children, oldest who’s almost 5 and youngest who’s almost 2. At 25 year old, I’m unable to carry babies full term due to complications 😢😢 My youngest was born at 31 weeks (9 weeks early) weighing 2lbs 15oz my youngest born at 34&2 weeks (just over 5 weeks early) weighing 4lbs 15oz. All due to preeclampsia turning to eclampsia, placenta abruption and not feeling the babies move anymore 😢😢 Rushed to theatre with both of them for emergency cesareans! So you’re doing amazing! Wish I could carry full term and experience labour and birth! 🥰😢😢

I also had a very smooth pregnancy and was told negative things and even after birth it's been a lot less challenging than people made me believe which made me think I was doing soemthing wrong but nope he's just a very happy good boy 🥰🥰

That's the sweetest thing iv ever heard I didn't get that with my little girl and it breaks my heart 💔

I can't wait to see baby girl 😍 we are unbelievable ❤️I lost our baby at 15week and exactly a year Later I was pregnant with our baby girl the exactly the same due date ❤️

My 1st pregnancy was lovely , 2nd was ok till the end , and the 3rd was horrendous, couldn’t walk the last few weeks , but mine did get later to come each time , 36weeks, 38 weeks and then 40 weeks xx

Stretch marks can come in after pregnancy, I didn't get mine until after I gave birth 🙃 all underboob and on one side of my tummy and inner thighs. I remember when they were red they looked like I'd been attacked by a cat 😂 I religiously used bio oil and nothing will stop it! Your skin is naturally sensitive when pregnant anyway so even when you get itchy you'll scratch and they will mark. Also a top tip, have a bath during labour best thing to relax you

So excited for you 💕💕💕💕

Don’t worry it’s very normal to not produce any milk at this point! Do hand expressing in the bath and be patient. Even the smallest amount of colostrum is good! You’re doing great🤍🤍

@mollymae you can try red light therapy for the stretch marks ❤ xx your beautiful ❤

Aw this video is so cute Molly ❤

WOW, So Beautiful presentation, Wishing you more and more Successes, likes and Subscribed,💜

Even if you can’t fully get into the hypnobirthing I honestly believe without a doubt breathing is essential and when it’s done right it can help in labour so much. I found if you’re struggling to connect with it then true videos probably will be better for you or watch some on RU-vid or positive birth videos xx

You look amazing Molly 💓💓

your baby is definitely going to be a swimmer i can feel it in the air ahahah

I’m so excited for you both 😭 ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Babes don’t feel bad or like you’re rubbing it in for having an amazing pregnancy!! Women need to hear more stories about how amazing pregnancy can be! So happy for you ✨

Don’t feel guilty or feel like your being ‘big headed’ for admitting that you’ve had an amazing pregnancy,it’s lovely to hear😊wishing you an easy and blessed birth journey🤍

it's so upsetting that molly has to do 1000 disclaimers when expressing her own experience. i am happy for you and good luck with your labour, it will go smootly :) x (british people can be very negative, ignore them)

Molly it is SO refreshing to hear you speak so positively! All we ever hear is the doom and gloom! I had my children 14 and 12 years ago now and I enjoyed every second of my pregnancies (apart from the insomnia like you!) And when I pushed my baby out and me and my husband burst into tears of sheer elation it was honestly the most euphoric moment of our lives! And guess what? I was literally on cloud nine for months and months..my baby slept like a dream and apart from breastfeeding which I couldn't manage..it was the happiest time of my entire life! Enjoy it and don't feel bad for saying it!!!!

Has anyone ever been so excited for a stranger to have their baby? God has been kind to you Molly, never forget that ❤

So lovely to hear you talk positive about pregnancy. I feel like there is so much talk in the media about negative pregnancy symptoms and labour stories that scare so many women, when pregnancy is what our bodies were made to do. I didn't have the smoothest pregnancy but embraced every single second and stayed positive throughout. Keep spreading your positivity, your doing amazing and thank you for showing your stretch marks. So lovely to see you been so honest on your wonderful pregnancy journey 💗🤰

If anyone hates on you for having an easy pregnancy they are clowns. It's a blessing to have a happy pregnancy and to feel health especially after your endometriosis ❤

Love you my sweet girl. You’ve got this, you were made to do this mumma. Trust your body xxxxxx

I love how natural she is 🤍

I feel like since bing pregnant you’ve been genuinely so happy ❤

not long now 🥹

Molly you're 23 !! Its okay not to be over the moon when you find out ! Its one of the biggest life changes ever and its normal that it doesn't sink in straight away 💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘

Howling at “baby’s whole body is in the kitchen and I’m in the bathroom” 😂 I’ve absolutely adored these pregnancy updates, sending so many good vibes for when she arrives! 🤍

Usually the colour not coming back straight away is more to do with blood flow but I’m sure that’s totally normal for how much your skin will stretch with carrying baby girl!! So excited for you, you’re going to be the best mum ❤

As someone who is having a difficult pregnancy I love to hear about other women's experiences and seeing them have a positive happy pregnancy! Don't ever feel bad about having a great experience or like you shouldn't share it! It's honestly so nice to see x

im 21 and about to be 28 weeks . ive always struggled with the way i feel about myself and my weight ive only just started to pop and feel like ive just got big out of nowhere i cant seem to accept its the baby making me gain weight i feel like its my fault because ive started eating bad and alot more food which at first i didnt.. videos like these really help to remind me to try not be to hard on myself and to enjoy it more rather than stressing about how big my bellys getting. seeing you been so relaxed and not hard on yourself is so refreshing and is helping me to try do the same. so thankyou x

Please don’t feel bad for not having a troublesome or difficult pregnancy and enjoying it. That should be celebrated 🎉 Being able to carry a baby is a wonderful thing and often we hear stories about women who have had difficult pregnancies or births. It’s really refreshing to hear positive stories too. I have really bad anxiety so when the time comes, I know my anxiety will be tenfold when pregnant. So honestly, it’s lovely to hear you’ve had a great pregnancy and helps you ease anxieties I have. Wishing you a happy last few weeks ❤

Good luck ❤️ you’re going to be the most wonderful mum. Baby girl is so lucky xxxx

Totally feel you on almost feeling guilty feeling so good when others don’t. I had a “easy” pregnancy too and honestly my birth was all I hoped for as well. Your realistic that not everyone has that experience and you seem grateful (like I was) for a such a great experience so just soak up your good luck! 💕 Best wishes on your next chapter! Best one of my life so far! 💕

I’m not even pregnant but I’m in literal tears 😭. I’m so excited for you and Tommy Molly, since you announced your pregnancy it has brought back all the wonderful memories and feelings that myself and partner experienced together in 2021. You and Tommy will be the best parents to baby girl. Can’t wait for future vlogs and to see you and your little family grow together 💜

I’m just so excited for you and I’m so happy that your pregnancy is doing well ❤

I just wanted to comment how helpful this video has been for me - I'm about to step into my third trimester and overall I absolutely love being pregnant but have been really struggling the last few days mentally with tiredness/stretch marks/new aches and pains that keep me up worrying, and it's so refreshing hearing someone else go through the same thoughts and feelings so thank you for being so real with your pregnancy! it honestly does make a difference and you've started my day off on a more positive note! x

Molly is carrying a baby in the front and RU-vid on her back!!

Yess Molly u are being so spontaneous with these vlogs and we love it,baby girls gonna be the best can’t wait until u have her u and Tommy are gonna be the best parents,when I found out u were preggers I was soo happy ur gonna have the cutest little baby can’t wait for all the vlogs with her.Hope u feel amazing and don’t become unwell🤍🥹

Craving ice can be a sign of an iron deficiency. Nothing serious I believe, but maybe ask your doctor if you should be taking an iron supplement just in case ☺️ I’m 19 weeks pregnant with my first baby & I love hearing how positive your journey has been! Praying it continues to go that way & baby girl comes out perfectly healthy! 💗💗

Stretch marks: it’s true you shouldn’t worry about stretch marks… you can treat them afterwards if they really bother you but I have some tips… I didn’t get stretch marks my daughter is now 17. In my teen years I got stretch marks on my butt so I am prone to getting them. My mother had six children naturally and I followed her advise. Use virgin olive oil/ vitamin E oil preferably warmed into hands and unrefined Shea butter. You can blend them into a body butter I use my ninja blender or whisk it by hand. You need to absolutely rub this all over your growing area when ever you want to SCRATCH. This means you need to have the blend with you at all times. On your travels etc… cut your nails low!!! Do not scratch every time you want to scratch no matter how unbearable moisturise with the Shea butter/ olive oil or VitaminE blend. Don’t scratch .. do daily stretches or exercise and rub that moisture blend in!!!!!!

Wow Molly, how did you film and edit this so quickly?! I was literally just saw your IG story an hour ago and its 30 min long?! wow wow wow i'm amazed

Molly you are so naturally gorgeous on the inside and out. All of your supporters have nothing but big love for you - never forget that! Cant wait for baby girl to arrivel!

That feeling of never feeling lonely just continues once your baby is here. Mine are 6&9 and I still feel like that with my 2 tiny best friends by my side. Enjoy every second. ❤

For the touch and the colour to regain back: it’s called capillary refill basically it’s your blood returning to the vessels after pressure has been applied. It’s a little slower on your bump because the skin is so stretched, it takes a little longer for the blood to return to the capillaries on the bump :) hope this helps

Please can we have a cat introduction video!

This sounds weird but if you are struggling to find good leggings for pregnancy Poundland's seamless sports leggings and seamless sports vests are amazing whether you have a bump or not they are amazing and so affordable a few funky colours as well obviously you could afford to get more expensive ones but these are the best I've found and beat the expensive ones

Thank you for literally squishing your bump for us curious non-mums

Currently pregnant and my husband asked me what my favorite thing about it is, and I said “I’m never lonely!” I feel that completely!

Don't feel guilty having your first baby in your early twentys is awesome its so much easier for your body to cope and when you just have you to look after it's bliss. It's 's such a special time.

Molly you were made to be a mum ❤️ tearing up when you’re saying you never feel lonely 🥹 Hoping your birth is a smooth journey too 🙏🏻

I’m pregnant at the moment, in my second trimester. I also have found that my pregnancy has dragged, and I’m just sitting around waiting. I find it hard to do stuff to take my mind off it, and have had a lot of worries too. Glad I’m not alone in feeling like it drags! I wish you a happy healthy rest of your pregnancy and birth! 💜

Stretch marks are partly hereditary there is no stopping them x

All my friends said to me when I was pregnant with my daughter that I was mad because I use to watch one born every minute and loads of videos of other women giving birth but I loved it! Even tho your own experience is different to anyone else’s but I still did 😂

Love you Molly!! Thank you for saying about stretch marks - I tried so many different products when I was pregnant and I still got stretch marks - so I was really pleased to hear you saying that as you are an influencer, and your advice about stretch marks is spot on, and is great advice for other young pregnant ladies. Re cramps, try having deep heat by your bed, so you can rub it into your crampy calves. Massaging your legs when having cramps also helps get the blood flowing and helps stop the cramps. Praying for a smooth delivery for you and baby. 😊❤️

I did the Positive birth company online course and honestly I know it’s hard sometimes to stay focused sometimes but it’s really worth it! I had an amazing experience with my birth and I really do believe if I hadn’t of done the course and learnt about hypnobirthing it wouldn’t of been the same! It’s so worth it But obviously it is your choice💛

I had my baby two weeks ago all natural and had about a 7 hour labor with 15 minutes of pushing. I took gentle birth from Amazon, ate 4 dates a day, took primrose oil supplement, and drank tons and tons of water. I think this really helped me have a fast birth for my first baby

Everyone’s experience is different in life and in pregnancy🌍. I salute you and I cheer on the women who are going thru amazing times in their life. Life can be so extremly hard sometimes as we all know! And we have probably all felt lonely or depressed or judged at times. So when I finally see a woman that is happy and blissfull. I just genuienly hope it lasts for a long time for her, and for anyone who is feeling happy at the moment💛 If you have felt pain or lonelyness, you don’t wish it upon others❤️‍🩹. We all deserve happiness, and we all should cheer each other on and bring more positivity and health into each others lifes🌻. Life is seriously too short, and a lot of it is really difficult! So Cheers to 2023 - A year of being more understanding, less judgemental, and more supporting off others. Even if you cant relate at this time! You never know where life will take you!🌼 Remember that, it starts from with in! Looking at your on mistakes before judging others. Growing and learning starts from within!🌱 Wishing everyone a absoluete blissfull, growthful, happy and amazing 2023! To the now, to the strenght we need for difficult times, and the new happy memories ahead!🌞

Your attitude towards birth is amazing! I’m in third trimester too, wishing you all the best for baby girls delivery ❤

the best thing to help through labour is being able to control your breathing and keep yourself calm during contractions, if you panic and lose control it makes the pain worse , you have time in between the contractions to prepare yourself and get ready for the next one coming so it's all about having the right head space 😊 good luck and hope you have a great birth experience and take the pain relief on offer x

The positive birth company are absolutely amazing! I have birthed 2 beautiful baby girls with no pain relief.. I just used the techniques from the videos I watched. I felt like ‘bored’ at the start but I promise it gets better! You learn so much and it actually gets interesting ..just give it a chance🥰 Sending you all the positive vibes molly, your body was definitely made for this🥰❤️

Sooo excited when You post a video ❤ can’t believe baby girl is almost here !!!

Everything you have said in this video I have said yes to. I had my boy 8 weeks ago, I had no fear coming up to the labour either, and I also have needle phobias. I also didn't get my milk until he was born, and also didn't find anything that worked for my stretch marks. Everything that you're feeling is normal, and I really hope that you are gonna choose to share your birth experience because its so useful for those who are waiting to give birth! Lots of love and I'm so so excited to see her little face and find out her name x

I'm so scared to get pregnant because of all the negative things that are shared around it but this has really helped, because its not the same for everyone and its harder if we always just expect the worse

Thank you for sharing your problem but I didn't ask and don't care.

Just gave birth to my baby girl two weeks ago and I felt the exact same about pregnancy. I also had a very smooth pregnancy and felt great and felt like my body was designed to carry a child and would do it again in a heartbeat. The birth for me, I’m not going to lie, was extremely tough. Going into it with an open mind is great because you never know what or how everything will happen for you and baby. I didn’t feel any contractions or have any milk leakage before my water broke and I went to the hospital and they gave me pitocin. My milk supply didn’t really come in until 3 days after I had my baby. I wasn’t scared about labor because I didn’t know what to expect, but labor was very hard. I have a high pain tolerance, but once the contractions picked up and became consistent and I reached my max it was very hard. Learning to breathe and the proper way to push is extremely important. I did have an epidural once I reached my max pain level and it really helped for a few hours but I started to feel contractions again right before it was time to push so they had to up it to get me through. The first week of postpartum for me was very difficult and frustrating because I needed so much help to use the bathroom and getting postpartum stuff on. Continuing to heal and am much better now, but the sleep deprivation is no joke. Get as much sleep as you can in the last few weeks because it is very difficult to get sleep in general once baby is here. Time sure flies by quickly once baby is here so do your best to soak up every moment.

Hey guys. Believe in Jesus - the Son of God.

I love how upbeat and happy you are about your pregnancy! I can't wait to see your baby girl xx

The stretch marks fade over time! I’ve gained weight and lost weight and I’ve been pregnant and not pregnant and my stretch marks just disappear- no one really cares about stretch marks they’re seriously a sign of womanhood ❤ they’re beautiful

Not me sobbing for the last bit 😭 thank you for always being so honest and transparent with us! Loved following your pregnancy 💞

Keep your due date to yourself Molly x just surprise us with your little bundle of joy. I pray you get through labour as easy as your pregnancy have been x 🙏🏽 That's right you always got company you're never alone.

Genuinely so nice to hear you’ve had a good pregnancy, after all you have had to go through with your endometriosis. Amazing to hear someone speak so positively about pregnancy ❤

Leg cramps are a magnesium deficiency. Make sure you get one safe for pregnancy

Have you have your iron checked as craving ice can be a sign of low iron xx
