That has to be the funniest Pregnancy Q&A ever! And I'm glad Tina hasn't changed since she met him, she jumped him at the club then and she's still wanting to jump at him now 🤣
I appreciate you being open and honest about the “tmi” stuff. I think it is very important to get rid of any taboo regarding pregnancy and be real. It is very helpful for girls growing up as well as those about to or currently experiencing the same things. Kudos for still talking regardless of everyone around you feeling uncomfortable lol I appreciated it ♥️
Tina, the extra bit of pregnancy weight looks amazing on you. Your face just looks even more gorgeous and you seem so happy. Honestly, having a baby shouldn't be some silly romantic thing that occurs without forethought and much consideration so I'm glad to know that you and Alfred have kept to your pragmatic ways in this regard as well. I'm honestly so excited for you both and I can't wait to see how becoming parents changes you
I love how Tina is always keeping it real no matter what. Very excited for the baby, personally I think Lylah is a prettier spelling since I would mistake Lilah for Leelah instead!! And I still do hope to see you both in Singapore one day 🤣 all these while I've never had the chance to see you here in SG. Much love to both of you 🥺
Love how Tina's just so straightforward about the sexy times. 😂😂😂😂 It's like you have an older sister telling you things you wouldn't be able to know otherwise 🤣
I'm so happy and excited they're getting a girl. Tina would make such an amazing and supportive mother and Alfred would make such a loving and caring father.
I could watch/listen to you and Alfred all day 😍 you two always have me smiling and laughing because your love for each other and positive energy shines through in each video. Thank you for sharing your journey with us so far 😃❤️
I love how relaxed and fun Tina is. Can’t wait to hear her telling her birth story & recovery, I know she’ll keep it real for us! I especially like how open she is about the whole sex thing, as someone who was raised with sex being extremely taboo & having that permanently negatively impact my sex life, I think it’s so great she’s so open & fun about it!
100% would recommend hypnobirthing techniques and start practising/meditating as of now if you want a natural unmedicated birth. The breathing techniques help so much. This also works well even if you have an epidural or C-section! Good luck! xx
That's a beautiful name, personally I prefer the spelling as Lylah because that's how I would read it. I'm so happy and excited they're getting a girl. Tina would make such an amazing and supportive mother and Alfred would make such a loving and caring father. Wishing you guys all the best!
I think it would be more convenient to name the baby Lylah because of easier pronunciation and you wont have to correct people often (I also have a name that is often mispronounced) but its your choice really, we will support you either way!!❤️
They are so in love🥺 I like how alfred makes her happy specially during these pregnancy days💙 I am sure he will be a great father 🥰 Love from India🇮🇳❤️
My son was born in singapore, and his name is Yani (greek for John). The reason I spelt it that way was purely so he got called Yani instead of singaporeans trying to pronounce Yiannis (the traditional greek spelling). My advice is to write her name down and ask Singaporeans how they would pronounce it :)
Tina made me laugh when she said “I just wanna jump Alfred’s bones” 😂 haha I felt the same with my husband during my pregnancy because I’m always in the mood lol. My husband is like terrified that he may hurt the baby or the baby will have a peek lol i told him the baby is inside the amniotic sac 🤣
I personally love Lilah, cause I would pronounce it the same as you Tina! Also, I know a Malaysian girl who called her baby Scarlett, and unfortunately a lot of the Asian Aunties/Uncles accidentally called her Scallop because of their accents. They've managed to correct themselves now but that is forever stuck in my head when I hear Scarlett.
Hey Tina, I’m currently 38 weeks pregnant and waiting for our bubba to arrive! I highly recommend listening to Australian Birth Stories podcast and if they have it in Singapore look into doing a hypnobirthing class. It really helped me mentally prepare for a natural unmediated birth. You got this mumma and poppa!!! Congrats you guys and I hope everything goes well 💕
Congratulations Tina! I have had 5 natural non-medicated births. I hope that you are able to achieve your goal! Practice breathing technique's and visualize yourself giving birth, also think about what helps you during pain in the past. Some people Make themselves a birthing music playlist, for me, it was focusing on that birthing is temporary and the more work I put in, the faster the baby would be here, with that make sure you are listening to your midwife, sometimes you have to stop pushing or push slower for the baby. My 4th had the umibical cord around her neck so I had to slow down so the midwife could correct that. Trust your body and your birthing team, you got this! Best of luck to you!
I wish every parent is as prepared as you two. I don't even know how my classmates in highschool/college manage pregnancy, like with planning and all it already seems tough but without plans? I wish someday when I have my own husband I can be as prepared as you guys. Love you both!
This is the realist q&a and I'm living for it!!! 💕💕 congrats again you two! Huge fan! Can't wait for baby to come already! Praying for a safe and healthy baby and momma!! 💓
Lilah for sure! ❤️ As for products, when my little boy was a baby, we used Burt's bees products for him. Amazon have a set with a shampoo/body wash and a baby oil. It is honey scented and smells amazing, as well as being super gentle for little ones skin. The oil we applied all over after bathing, and was amazing to put on the scalp too. And little man loved his little baby massages I did for him (I'm a beauty therapist) Honestly, Burt's bees was our absolute favourite products to use x
I’ve heard so many good things about Burt’s Bees baby things! Onesies as well. Sadly none of the baby products are available in my country, only adult things :(
My mom was a nurse in the neonatal intensive care unit. She ended up reminding me that the name has to be easy for the child to spell and don’t forget what the initials will spell. We spell Lila hear differently
Hi Tina, Been following your channel for years and now we’re a week apart in terms of due date haha. I’m due on 25th of April. Been feeling like I’m going thru pregnancy w a close friend with you. Much love ❤️
I just had my second baby but I'm still always excited when a baby is coming ^O^!!! I definitely recommend second-hand clothes for at least the first year, safe for a few special outfits for photos. They grow SO fast the first year, after 1 yr they will wear clothes a little bit longer at a time. Otherwise they'll wear an outfit like once.
Epidural will be your friend, I did 4 all natural deliveries & seen my sister have one. What a game changer. Just remember cuddle & bond with the little Lilah, that helps her feel secure. Don’t be afraid to take ask for help, being 1st time parents is going to be an emotional roll a coaster for you both.
Tina your videos always make me so happy. I have three little girls and I am here to tell you they are a blast! Things I though were super helpful was the ergo baby 360 carrier and some type of wrap/sling carrier when they are brand new. I liked the wrap because it kept them super close and snug to you so you could go about your day. Also, people won’t ask to hold or touch your new baby as much when they are in the wrap carrier. :) I’m so happy for you guys!
I sometimes you get more in the mood while you’re pregnant too it’s so funny! I’m currently due for March and it’s been a wild ride hah. Hope your family stays safe and healthy. 🥰
I am 24 weeks pregnant and the pregnancy fatigue can be tough. Congrats on your little girl, I'm having a boy. If I do have a girl in future her name will be Scarlett 🥰
Speaking from experience. I'm Aussie and my husband is Japanese and we live in Australia. Our child's name is Japanese and it gets butchered by people every day. So even a name like Lilah will most probably get misspelled or mispronounced. I wouldn't worry too much, even my name gets misspelled constantly and it's Kelly...so I just think people can't be helped.... name your child what you want because at the end of the day, that's what counts.
Tina is looking more N more beautiful like she was always beautiful but not she has a different glow and I love that ..... may you and the lil one be safe and healthy and happy.....sending lots of love and positive energies ❤❤❤❤
My #1 must have product is a Boppy Pillow!! It is a life saver when it comes to breastfeeding, great for tummy time and then helping support the baby to sit up as they get a little older!!
Lyla is definitely unmistakable and even add the H if you want, to be different. Congratulations you guys again. You both look great and I’m excited for this big step for you. ♥️
I don't plan on having children, but I liked Tina talking about sex during pregnancy. There is so much people don't talk about with pregnancy that it's good for more information to be out there.
I have a Lyla in my classroom. I read it as L-Y-L-A and def pronunciate correctly. I can definitely see teachers confusing her name but we always ask parents about pronunciation. Can't wait to meet little Ly ♡ must have products ofcourse would be a comfortable carrier. So many types out there. A lightweight stroller I can easily break down to carry especially if your living in NYC. Don't buy shoes till they are starting to walk since their feet grow fast. Clothes always buy 3 months and up. They definitely outgrow all clothes. A good collection of bottles that doesn't cause gas. And boxes and boxes of diapers 😊
Love how Tina always keep it real .I am following Tina for so long she is true angel .congrats Plus I am late due to work but always here for you . And lylah is a beautiful name .but it’s for sure she is going to be an angel
Theres this baby boppy that my mom got when my sister was born that like goes around your waist when you sit down so you can support the baby on it while you breastfeed or just hold the baby. Also helps with your arms not feeling too tired. :D
Tina, you are the big sister i always wished I had. Thank you for always being so authentic. So happy for you and Alfred and thank you for sharing your journey with us
I love watching your Pregnancy videos! I'm turning 20 weeks next week and being in 2nd trimester is my favourite lol! I feel blooming most of the time. Feeling the flutters are weird at times but Im loving it lol.
In India...if a lady is pregnant she is blessed with a quote says.."nazar na lage " which means stay blessed be happy and bad eyes stay away from you and your baby...am not that elder but still i love you tina ❤️❤️❤️ and Alfred as well... So "🧿 nazar na lage" And this is in hindi ❤️
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 My biggest tip for my mama-to-be patients about birth is precisely what you said. Be open for the unexpected. Baby wants to do what baby wants to do. I had unmedicated births for both my babies and I LOVED it. However, I did have a doula for my 2nd and I wished I had her for my first, too. You can do it, Tina! I have faith in you. Wishing you a fantastic pregnancy! 😘💜
Omg 😆, I love you guys so much, and I loved the fact that you talked about the seggs stuff since pregnant couples don’t tend to talk about it, it should be part of the health courses at school!! And also, my sister’s name is Scarlett and I still believe it is such a beautiful name, and tons of people have complimented her on it all her life, it is just so pretty and special, you can also search for the meaning ( I don’t remember it atm).
Hi Tina and Alfred, wishing you an amazing and healthy pregnancy from Brazil ☺️☺️ I think Lyla (without the “h”) would be better because in Portuguese (and if I’m not wrong Spanish and Italian as well) the “I” sounds like “e” and not “y” so maybe (just if you consider it being a little more international haha) lyla it’s best! Love you! ❤️
It's 2022. Many would argue that marriage is a bit passe' too, but I am glad you guys went that route. Love, stability, and loyalty never go out of style. This baby will be very blessed to share a Life with both parents who are committed to one another.
Thank you so much for your chill approach! I planned a natural birth soooo much with my first, got my walks etc. went 2 weeks past est due date! Had midwives, did hypnobirthing 🤣 ended in a C section. Decided with my second just to do a c section! Every story is unique and I’m so excited for your unique story! They truly are all amazing in their own ways!!
OMG, I couldn't stop laughing with all the TMI realism Tina, I cried, 🤣But it's true, from a mom to another. Sometimes your hormones just play a very strong role that day. Overall I love more videos like this. I enjoy all the laughter and joyful tears. I just know that you two will be great parents. And yes, parenting instincts will kick in for you two. So don't worry about not being good parents. You two will be the best for your daughter. There is never a right or wrong way. We learn as they grow with us each and every day of the way. BTW I was just wondering if you two will try the feeling of what contraction pain will be like before you yell Epidural 😂
Please go baby shopping now! I worked at a baby store until a few weeks ago and a lot of our stuff was very often out of stock - because of COVID many couples went for a baby, which coursed in meny stores being out of stock, which again coursed a stress for the couples because they had to wait a long time before their purchase got to us/them, sometimes it was weeks or a few times even a few months before they got their goods. I'm talking about things like baby bed, car baby safety seat etc.(the bigger things). I don't know the situation in Singapore, but it's worth it to inform yourself about it, before getting stressed out because of missing items.
A baby sling for wearing the baby. Then you can still cuddle the cuteness while you still have hands free to do things like folding laundry and stuff. Babies who are worn close to parents a lot the first few months are calmer, cry less, more well-adjusted and emotionally attached. Also does the same for the parent.
As you talk about baby names with biscuit analogy that you will know what feels right as you see the baby, I realize my teddy bear looks so much like biscuit and I took the same approach 🤣🤣🤣 Congrats and wish you guys the best
Check out delayed cord clamping for ur birth plan. It gives more iron to the baby. Also, theres a small window during labor when u can get an epidural but if u wait to long then the doc wont give it to u. If ur induced then the pain gets intense very fast so u might want to ask for pain meds if u know u will be induced
Me and my partner have been trying for 8 years, we had a miscarriage in 2019 at 5-6 weeks, were hopefully due to start ivf in a month or two 🤞 because weve been trying soooo long and because of being briefly previously pregnant we did already think of alot of things so have names picked (Luca for boy and either Luna or top pick Freya for a girl and kinda feel sure we will have a girl) also have a birth plan pretty much in my head mostly other than a few bits 🤣
If you dont already have it you need to get the book what to expect when your expecting and a few other after birth child care books they were my life savers when i had me child
Lol, My sister's dog's name is Leylah. She's super sweet and cute. I don't really think there's a problem with the spelling. There are plenty of names that get mispronounced regardless if the spelling is super obvious. So Lilah is nice, Laylah is nice, and Laila is also nice. But my prefernce goes to Lilah.
Congratulations, I am a new mum, my daughter is 3 months old now and the best thing I ever bought was a caddy that I can put all the things in I might need eg. Nappies, wipes, cream, cloths, spare clothes etc. All the things that you might need. Wherever my baby goes, the caddy comes with and It has made mum life a lot easier, highly recommend. Oh and lots and lots of bibs! Good luck!
Lots of love from Pakistan ❤ I've been watching yoiu for long and your content is always so entertaining Also I love your couple so much and can't wait for more videos with your baby 😍
Ok so this video was too funny also because it was reminding me of my pregnancy back then. My baby is 7 now & we're still praying for another but if this is all that God has planned for us then I'm content. I can attest to the "jumping hubby's bones" and it just made me laugh heaps when you said it about Alfred. My morning sickness was all day every day, all different parts of the day too. Once that subsided a bit I was always hot & bothered by hubby doing the simplest things like reaching up to get something from the shelf, bending over to pick something up... I was always on the go to a point there were some day that he'd just have to um..."fix me up" when he couldn't quite participate and also toward the end of my pregnancy when the belly was just getting in the way. Bub didn't like anything placed on the belly and would always kick it away. Hubby would sleep with his hand on my belly then later on need to turn away because bub would non-stop kick his hand til he took it away.
@Unknown Excuse me? What pedo behaviour? There's nothing wrong with having sex while you're pregnant. There's nothing wrong with getting turned on by your husband either, it's all perfectly normal. Wishing such horrible things on other people while hiding behind and unknown profile makes you a horrible person.
@Unknown Please educate yourself about the human body and pregnancy. If you disagree with me then you must disagree with Tina jumping Alfred. You're the one with an issue in the mind & heart thinking such "pedo" things on something that is so natural. Have a nice day & God bless.
Hi, Tina!!! I love all your videos! Your voice is so cute, so I like to have your videos on in the background while I do other things. I was lost a few times during this video, so I just had to set my coursework aside for a moment and watch the video with full attention, so that I can see the questions. I realized that I am able to pause and look at the screen, but your blind and vision-impaired fans can't do that. In your next Q&A, could you read the questions out loud? It would be a simple way to make your amazing videos more accessible. So excited to follow you on this journey!
Highly recommend the to go diaper changing pads like the one from your "Parents for a day" video! It comes in so so so handy when you need to change a diaper in a pinch! Also a diaper bag with stroller attachments or mom clips to clip on the diaper bag to the stroller so you have room for jackets, etc., below the stroller. I hope this is helpful.
Definitely the Nose Frida- its gross sounding, but super effective. Water wipes- no crazy chemicals. Boppy pillow- provides support while feeding & great for tummy time practice!
Recommendations: get a LOT of diapers and I mean a LOT not just for the beginning but for later down the road and there is a pacifier that is made for frozen fruit it is NEEDED for further down the road a jolly jumper the one we have you can hang it on a tree and on the door frame but it keeps them busy when you need to do something
You can absolutely do an unmediated birth. Look into hypnobirthing. It’s a style of meditation that you do during birthing that helps with pain and understanding that the contractions are helping the baby come out. It’s a bit more than that but it made my experience amazing.
