PREGNANCY Q&A | Second Trimester Recap! 

Cannot believe today marks a year since your accident, and here you are just a few months away from having a baby boy🥺♥️God is so good!

You should do a video “baby names I love but won’t be using”!

Honestly love how comfortable you are with talking about sex, including pregnancy sex, just goes to show how mature you are and such a good role model by not shying away from the subject and talking about it so respectfully,, so much love to you!! I hope you guys get the house of your dreams soon , I just know it'll be something special that your little boy will always talk about when he's older ☺️ 💜

i love that she doesn’t shy away from talking about sex just bc she’s a christian. as a christian myself, who isn’t married, i really am nervous to get married so her talking about it is actually really helpful

When you begin to feel a Charlie horse coming on, immediately FLEX your foot up. Act like you’re pointing all the way up at the sky with your toes and hold it tight. It will tighten your muscles and it won’t let that sharp pain come into your leg.... My mom taught me this. It works every time

I love how open you are about sex......’some Christians think talking about sex is sooooo “inappropriate” to have conversation about online but it’s not it’s beautiful and it’s something we all do and it’s insightful

I always hated when I heard “don’t get stressed, it’s bad for the baby!” When in reality, every woman has stress and worries during pregnancy. Just allow those thoughts to pass through you! It’s holding onto them that allows the negativity to fester. Just think, one year from now you’ll be in the home of your dreams cuddling your sweet baby. 🥰

Kristin, you are glowing!!! And your Air BnB is super Aesthetic!!! Everything looks so Farm House Modern!!! Way to add your decor touch!!!

No one: Marcus: I wanted to show everyone my new waders

Sarah Lavonne the nurse doula says if you’re coping with the pain, continue unmedicated. If you feel like you’re suffering then get the epi. That mindset helped me sooo much both births.

My ONLY tip for birth planning is to be as flexible as possible. It's obviously important to have goals but if they need to change, go with it! Remember that your desired birth experience matters but the end goal of health and safety of babe matter much more ❤️

I snuggled up on my mom's sciatic nerve when she was pregnant with me. She likes to say I was "on her last nerve". 😂😘 It goes away shortly after baby arrives.

"He then proceeded to blurt out the name" I am WHEEZING lol

KRISTIN!!!! THE CHARLY HORSES WERE CHRONIC FOR ME AND I GOT THEM ALMOST EVERY NIGHT! Let me save you! I used to take a tums before bed and drink half a bottle of water. No joke this would make them not come at all! Don't know why it worked but I swear it NEVER failed. I had the same experience, I'd scream in pain and be sore for hours so please try this and tell me if it works for you too!

i can only imagine how hard it must be to not have your own space and be nesting, bc you've always been such a home maker, individually from the pregnancy. but just know, god sees and knows and acknowledges how much faith you have in him and he will make sure you end up exactly where you need to be.

Can’t wait for baby Johns to be here💙🥺

The second trimester is the BEST. I wish the entire pregnancy was like weeks 14-27.

wow now i know the real definition of "pregnancy glow" you are literally GLOWING

Sitting here watching tv with my family so I can’t watch the video yet. But, I voted for you to upload tonight on your Instagram story. So here I am commenting, giving the video a thumbs up, and letting the video play while muted to support and so I don’t feel bad. 😀😂

Wow I just voted for you to post it on Instragram and now it's up...never felt so powerful lmao

Love the honesty and how much more mature all the conversations are!! So nice.

I love you’re more comfortable/ willing to talk about topics she wouldn’t have before! So excited for you & Marcus!!

I love how open and honest you are!!

Just picturing when you yelled “marcus come here!!” to feel the baby’s kick is very funnily wholesome

I got Charlie Horses a lot growing up, and I found a trick that really worked for me to get rid of them faster. You will usually have to urge to either pointe or flex your foot to try and get rid of it. Go against the urge. So if you feel as though flexing will relieve it, try to pointe your foot instead. If you feel like you have to pointe it, then flex. It will not feel good for a moment doing that, but then the pain should pretty much disappear once you do that action! (at least it always would for me) I hope this helps!! You are glowing and are already such an amazing mama to your sweet boy!

ahhh time is flying by !!! I’M SO EXCITED FOR BABY JOHNS 🥰

My sister was recently pregnant and thought she had sciatica, but it ended up being that the baby was resting on her tailbone for the longest time. She got a really bad bone bruise and painful back labor bc of it. I would seriously recommend getting it checked out just to make sure, bc there are stretches you can do to alleviate the pain! ❤️

Love you so much Kristin! You will be the most loving mom ever! 💛

I’m soooooo happy for you Kristin. I wish you every bit of happiness and blessings for you Marcus and the baby ❤️

The pregnancy glow is real

Looking back on this past year and how much you and Marcus have endured and overcome is incredible,, just imagine where you will be in a year from now 😍

2 unmedicated birth center babies for me! It was amazing, intense, beautiful, and horrible all at the same time. But it doesn’t last it’s temporary and you really truly do forget the pain.

I love you guys. I feel like I know you, and seeing you evolve and make a family is just amazing.

When Kristin uploads and are the happiest ever!! Love you so much and I hope that your pregnancy is going well and the baby boy is healthy! Can’t wait to see this babe very soon!! So excited to watch you parent! I hope that you’re having an amazing day

You look stunning Kristin! You’re always beautiful but seeing you Prego suits you so well, you are going to be such an amazing Mama! I’m so glad you enjoyed your 2nd trimester🙌🏽

Kristen, you are so radiant and I cannot believe your evolution through all your struggles with the accident and your pregnancy and move across country. You are seriously an inspiration and just know there are people out here that love and care about you. Even though we haven’t met, I feel a soul connection to you 💖 Thank you for sharing this beautiful journey with us 👶🏻💙

Love you so much Kristen. You’re glowing! Can’t wait to see your little babe, you and Marcus will be the best parents ever 💛

I’ve always heard that there’s a difference in pain and suffering, you know what your body can handle! I can’t believe he is coming so soon. I’m thrilled for y’all ❤️ oh, and so glad you’re enjoying TN.

Kristin you're going to be an incredible motherand your son is so blessed to have you, because no matter where you guys are living, you will make it a home ♥️ that said, praying for you guys to find a home soon 🙏🏻 sending so much love your way!

I feel like Kristin is the big sister i never had🤍 i appreciate that you’re so open & honest with your life. I’m so excited to see what the next season in your life looks like! I want to encourage you that it will all work out how God has planned for you🤍

I’m rewatching this series now that I’m pregnant. I’m in my first trimester and it’s so fun to hear your advice and things!!

Love you so much Kristin! I pray for you every day for a healthy and happy life and precious baby!

you are always glowing but my Lord you are such a beautiful mamma i’m so excited for y’all

I’m just entering my second trimester and looking forward to it so much!! So happy your baby boy is healthy and still praying for you guys and your house situation! 🥰💕

Thank you so much for talking about the grace you’ve given yourself and trying to be gentle with all the body changes! I’m 21 weeks and feeing similarly

I really hope that you get your house before the baby comes but if not...it’s an adventure and reminds me of Lorelei and Rory living in a hotel when she’s first born :)

Can’t wait to welcome baby Johns 👶🏻🍼

Oh how it makes my morning to see Kristin has uploaded. You are such a sweet role model, thank you for sharing some of your life with us :)

praying that you find a home shortly & feel less stress once baby is here. it will all be worth it you are doing sooo amazing. super proud of you and how far you have come. i have watched your videos since you were in college and i love seeing you grow as a person and now grow a family of your own. you are truly an inspiration kristin

Celebrating your life today! God is good!❤️❤️ and we love you Kristin! Praying for you, Marcus and your beautiful baby boy!🥰🥰🥰

all i can say is what a beautiful mama inside and out 💛 shining bright amd marcus, may God bless your life

I had my first baby 7 months ago unmedicated and all I can say is, you can do it! Although it’s painful, it’s such a natural and meaningful pain. I personally loved being able to feel every contraction and every push, knowing what my body was doing and letting it do what it was meant to do! Trust yourself, your body is amazing ❤️

aweee💕 im so happy for you guys. God bless you both, thanks for this video

Pregnancy is so magical. I loved every minute of mine.. even the uncomfortable ones! You will be the sweetest mommy.

So excited for you and Marcus, you’ll be the best boy parents! You are absolutely glowing, Kristin. Recently went through pregnancy and my body changed SO much so I totally feel where you’re coming from when you have harder days. Becoming a mama is such a journey. We love you guys and are praying you find your house so so soon ❤️

I love your videos and how open you are about your life. You feel like a close gal friend and I've loved seeing how God's working in your life!

I was literally rewatching all your old videos, and I just got the notification lol I clicked so fast!!!!!! ❤️

There's this energy that you radiate that is so happy, contagious and lovely. I pray for you to find the most beautiful and fitting house 🏡💕

This video is so calming to watch. I feel like I’ve always been afraid of pregnancy and birth but you being honest and calm while talking about it is reassuring 🥰

Thank you for how real and honest you've been with your viewers through this pregnancy journey. I love watching content creators that make you feel like your friends with every single person who watches your videos :) Excited to see Gods plan for your life play out in the years to come

So excited to see your upload. I live in the UK and I am currently on a night shift as a Staff Nurse and just about to take my break. I love watching your videos, helps me to escape from work xx

praying for you, kris!!! 🤍 i could see the unsettled-ness in your eyes when you were taking about not finding a house yet, but like you said God knows when and where! you got this! we love you!!!

I'm really hoping you get your dream house soon, you guys deserve it! So glad to hear you're doing great 😘🙏🏻♥️

You are so fricken beautiful !!!!! So happy for you guys & I can’t wait to see how cute this little guy is gonna be. Praying that your family will continue to be blessed ❤️

thank you for being vulnerable and talking about pregnancy sex! you're right, no one talks about it and I wish they did because that is something I'm nervous to learn about in that stage in life! wishing you happiness and health always

I totally understand how you feel about the house thing. I myself am in a limbo state, so I understand the stress and I’m not even pregnant. But in case you end up having him while at the Airbnb, just know that once he’s in your arms, nothing else will matter. Nothing. As long as he’s with you, he will be home and so you will be too. ❤️

Loved this video! Thank you for being brave enough to talk about vulnerable things

Ina May’s guide to child birth helped me prepare for my natural unmedicated home birth with my midwife SO MUCH. There are so many birth stories told by many different women with so many different experiences. It was so incredibly helpful leading up to the birth. Can’t recommend enough!

Yay!!! Literally hopped on RU-vid to check if you uploaded!! 🥰🥰🥰

Ahh almost third trimester so exciting!!! Love following along with this with you guys!!

Kristin, you are glowing! I pray for you guys, that you would find the perfect little house before the baby arrives. Sending you much love from Turkey 🤍✨

Something that helped me with my unmedicated birth is to rewire my thinking when it comes to the pain. Instead of calling it pain just call it intense or waves of intensity. I know it sounds silly but it totally helped me!!

It's so lovely being pregnant (with a boy as well 💙) at the same time as you; just 5 weeks behind you! Especially during this time of solitude, it makes me feel so comforted seeing and hearing your journey as I'm just a few steps behind. ☺️💙

I have gone through two periods of sciatica with my back injury and yes, it is not fun. I’m glad it’s not too painful for you! I hope it stays that way!! Congrats again!😌

when you said in the next update video you’ll have baby johns🥺🥺🥺 awww! praying for a smooth rest of your pregnancy and birthing process💛✨

I loved the honesty about being intimate while pregnant! Thank you being open about that :)

Love your birth plan!! I work with a midwife client and have learned so much about birthing options from her. I’ll be praying for a smooth and safe delivery for you! 🤍🤍

No one is talking about how hilarious was the way Camper enter to the room🤣 I LOVE IT

Time flies! Hope the best for you, Marcus, and the baby 👶🥰

Just had my first baby (baby boy 🥰) in November. Totally unmedicated, it was a goal of mine. You got this! Something to know that no one told me: when you get to the point you feel like you absolute cannot keep going with no medicine, that means baby is about to come out! That’s how the doctor/nurses/midwife knows it’s almost go time.

you are going to be the most amazing mom. you already are the most amazing mom

i love y’all and can’t wait for baby johns🥺💙

So excited for you guys!!! ❤️

I live in middle TN and the market is crazy. I totally understand where you’re coming from with it being hard not to have a space to prepare for a baby. 🙏

Praying for your house situation and that you can rest in the Lord! God is never late or early - he is always right on time ❤️

LOVE YOU SWEET KRISTIN!! I know your baby is anointed and special and destined for greatness:))) God bless you!

I had an unmediated birth in December and it was so EMPOWERING! My entire pregnancy I prayed so much about my birth and read as much as I could about labor/birth. If I could give any tips it would be to focus on breathing, remember that your mind is more powerful than the pain, and that each contraction brings you closer to your baby. 🥰 It’s the most rewarding pain, I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

This really relates to how my lifestyle is at the moment I’m in a place temporarily but i know things will fall into place we just can’t stress ourselves peace within can translate to peace within the universe around us we have to be positive especially during this time of creating our little one! This was so positive to see thanks for the real ness in your video🧡

I’m so happy when you post! Love you! ☀️❤️

It's sooooo crazy to think of the pain you guys were both in this time last year and the immense happiness you guys are in now. And if thats not a testament to how great God is and what he can do for your life, I dont know what is. I am a billion percent certain that he has the best plan for your home situation and that everything will work out better than either of you could dream, but I will keep sending prayers for you guys to have some comfort. Also I know that it's your body and everyone is going to think about their body in their own way no matter what anyone tells them, but I think you gaining a little weight in your face especially is soooo cute on you. When you lost all the weight after the accident I was so worried about you and not being able to eat or being too sad to have any type of appetite. I'm so happy that this season has come for you and that it's allowed so much healing. Also I don't know, I've just always loved people with chubby cheeks and rounder faces, and especially babies like that, which I'm sure yours will be so healthy and beautiful ❤ you are absolutely the sweetest person, along with lexy, and I hope you guys are always this happy 🥰 love you guys

SO PUMPED FOR THIS. Baby is asleep, time to grab a cuppa and watch this video 💗

Love the honesty and how positive this is! 💗

Im due in August, also with a baby boy; watching your videos is so comforting. Like a sister giving me advice. 🤍

kristin, i’m so proud of u ! uve grown so much ! I remember watching when u & marcus first started dating. u were so cute and shy. and look at u now ! so beautiful and strong !

I recently had a baby boy (11 weeks ago) and the best piece of advice I would give to any mom to be going into labor is to relax. Relaxing is hard but I read somewhere that fear slows everything down and it is so true. God will be with you in that room and whatever happens, happens. Just take huge, deep breaths and mentally prepare yourself when you feel a contraction. It’s easier said than done but it’s true. I remember tensing up so much with the first contractions and I relaxed my body and let the contractions course through me and I ended up dilating from a 1 to a 10 in like 2 hours and pushed for 5 minutes (this is my first baby). Good luck girl, you will get through it!!

I was also so stressed at my anatomy scan, my blood pressure was higher than what it normally is 😅 You’re just hoping and praying everything is okay and the baby is healthy! In the third trimester I had a Charlie horse EVERY NIGHT, it was horrible! Always in my left leg, so crazy! Can’t wait for the arrival of your baby boy, you guys will be great parents 💙💙💙

Wishing you love and the best of luck in your final trimester, Kristen! As a student nurse on labor and delivery units, I just want to remind you that if at any point the pain is too much to bear, there is no shame at all in having the epidural! All you get without it is the right to brag lol stay true to yourself and trust God through the whole process. Xoxoxox from Pittsburgh ❤️!

So happy you decided to upload now :)

I’m enjoying being on this journey with you! I’m 29 weeks 2 days with a baby boy. I’m also a first time Mum and just moved from LA to the country. So many emotions I can relate to! Fear,anxiety,stress,excitement! This last year or so has been a wild ride to say the least!!😆😊

the BEST thing to do for charlie horses is to put pressure on it! so if you have a charlie horse in your leg or your foot, stand up putting all of your weight on that leg! i know it might sound crazy but it seriously works instantly!
