second trimester recap | new symptoms + appointments 

i don't have kids, i'm not planning on having kids, but your pregnancy videos are so interesting to watch for some reason like i wish time moved faster so we get more updates like lmfao

You’re doing it! You’re almost there!! Only advice I would say is not to focus on birth too much.. I spent all my time focused on the birthing process when I should have been learning about breastfeeding, safe sleep, and PPD. Breastfeeding is a critical skill I didn’t realize doesn’t come naturally for babies and moms!? (Like, duh, but I genuinely overlooked it!) Also, enjoy these last few months as just the two of you… you’re going to be great.

Hey Sarah! I work in healthcare, and it’s very very common for patients to come in with high blood pressure from anxiety. It happens to me too when I have appointments! For me personally, I get nervous thinking that it will be high, and that stresses me out to the point where my BP is higher. It’s so frustrating when medical professionals won’t listen to you. I really believe people know themselves well. When a patient tells me something about themselves they know, I really take that into account. Just wanted to say you’re far from the only one this happens to!

I have no interest in ever having a child, and I have a legitimate phobia of pregnancy (like, it is honestly what scares me the most!), but watching your videos has been so interesting to me! Like exposure therapy, I suppose. The way you talk about it is so calm and honest and I really appreciate it!

omg that ultrasound tech would've made me start crying immediately lol

Noo the anatomy scan lady was so mean!!! I’m sorry y’all went through this :( poor Ryan

I'm not pregnant but I am glad you brought up the blood pressure thing. I have anxiety and I always have high blood pressure when I go to the doctor and I explain and no one ever listens! The only person that listened to me was a nurse when I went to donate blood.

Please do alllll the baby videos!! I just love watching your journey and also learning all about pregnancy as well. I’m not personally in the stage of life to have kids right now but your videos give me so much insight into what to possibly expect later on down the line. Also just appreciate your honesty and vulnerability!

Hearing you say you felt like you were made for this and that you feel like the most you you’ve ever been 🥺❤ thank you for sharing this journey!

I'm going back and watching all of these at 18 weeks pregnant. I couldn't watch them before I got pregnant cause I was worried I wouldn't be able to have a baby but luckily I can! I love that you made a playlist for all this and documented all of this as a long time subscriber! My Instagram feed as also completely changed to only pregnancy and baby content lol

We're planning to have a baby soon so hearing one of my favorite creators talk about it makes me feel less scared 🫰

I remember years and years ago during a Q & A I asked you if you think you would be a good mother. You will be 🥰 you could always tell

I’m not into mommy/pregnancy videos but I’ve been enjoying this series. I’ve never had a child so it’s interesting getting your perspective. Unrelated but your hair looks fantastic 😮

I’m not currently pregnant, and I don’t plan on it for awhile, but please give us all the baby content. It is oddly very enjoyable for me!

Number one tip ‼️I found doing yoga and physical labor prep everyday really got baby into the correct position for delivery! I would stay active till the end if you can of course

36:27 The way you casually dropped the "...until my next pregnancy"! I'm exhausted just listening to your symptoms, so I'm surprised (but happy) that you are enjoying being pregnant. Can't wait to meet her (if we get to)

I can't get pregnant, never will be. But I'm following your journey as you bring your new little life into the world. You're almost there! I'm so excited for you! You're glowing!!

I'm hoping to get pregnant soon and I'm living for these down to earth honest updates 🙏🏼❤️ I used to have the high blood pressure problem when I used to get checked for being on contraceptive pills - try taking really exaggerated long slow breaths as soon as you enter the appointment if possible and during the test. If the nurse could see it dropping whilst I was being monitored they were usually less concerned.

thank you for these videos, I can relate to a lot of what you are saying :) just keep in mind that saying things like "it will definitely get better as you reach 2nd trimester, trust me!" can be extremely misleading and give false hope to those who have a miserable experience throughout the 9 months. It's always good to add that this is based on your experience only.

I’m not pregnant but I will go back to these videos when I am 🥹 I feel like I will feel so calm hearing you talk about these things

Hey, I just wanted to reassure you that it's going to be ok. The things you describe as your worst fears all happened to me: I was induced because of my high blood pressure, emergency c section, post natal anxiety and depression.. all of it. We got through it though, and you will too, even if that happens....it will ok. You're going to be a great mum!

Watching your journey has given me so so much hope 💕🧡 Growing up, I never dreamt of having kids. As I got older, I began to really love kids but I still never found myself excited about having my own for some reason. Since watching your journey, it has made me so excited to have kids someday and also helped me realize that it's okay to not be excited about it all the time. Thank you so much, your channel has always done so much for me and given me so much peace and hope! ❤️

Your experience with the snippy and really rude ultra sound tech reminds me of that scene from Juno

Im 22 weeks pregnant work full time in the medical field and I’m also in school part time 😭 my anxiety has really been up the roof lately but my blood pressure has actually dropped and I’ve almost fainted at work before. Wishing you a healthy rest of your pregnancy! ❤

Everything you said I’m experiencing right now at 20 weeks. Crying, heartburn, sweating at night, dry nose and bleeding, bleeding gum, always hungry, RESTLESS LEGS THE WORST. I’ve always been very patient with my boyfriend and I feel like I’m so mean these days. 😂 I can relate to everything! My anatomy scan is in an hour, I’m so anxious.

I appreciate your realism about everything during this pregnancy! like you don't have to pretend that you are this supple, glowing goddess 24/7! your body changes and your feelings will too!! thank you sarah and congrats! ❤

I’m almost 28 weeks and I’m so glad you’re willing to share your experience in great detail. It’s just so refreshing to feel not so alone in being emotional and how pregnancy can be overwhelming at times. ❤😊

Ok I'm not pregnant but I totally get hunger despondency/depression! So I could imagine an amplified version of that happening during pregnancy. I hope it's not too disruptive for you. It's great that you're loving pregnancy overall and feeling more yourself!! 💕

It’s understandable to worry for the third trimester and everything. ‘Don’t worry ,darling’ , we’re here for you ! ❤❤❤

I’m pregnant with a baby girl and also a couple weeks behind you! I’ve been experiencing everything you’ve been going through too. This journey is so tough and it’s great to know that everything I’ve been feeling is normal, especially the mood swings. 😅 Wishing you the best of luck!

Please please do everything pregnancy related! I’m so excited for you. Love listening to your experience and opinions!

So exciting! Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. It sucks that so many doctors these days don't listen to our anxiety and take it seriously :( I wish there was some way to get through to them.

Great video! Best thing you can do about PP is just what your doing. Talk about it. Keep the conversation going. Never ever feel embarrassed about it or any shame and tell your doc as soon as you feel symptoms.

"Shedding myself or transforming" what a sci fi way to describe pregnancy 😂

Loving the eyebrows soooo much ❤❤❤❤ also yes to more pregnancy content, babybag and products etc.

I like your outfit

I feel you on the baby movements... I started feeling my boy around 16 weeks and it felt so odd and like I was just gassy every few hours, did not enjoy that feeling that much lmao now he moves constantly and we are able to physically see his little kicks, I look forward to when he's awake and moving, sometimes I even poke and rub around to get him to kick back lol

I think when they're talking about the "glow" I see it right here😍 i had 3 kids i didnt look that good😂

Ahhhh, I'm so glad you've been uploading pregnancy related content because I'm also pregnant, currently 30 almost 31 weeks. It's nice to be able to follow alongside someone else who's going through the same thing at the same time!

I'm so happy that you and your girl are healthy!! I'm not a mom but one day i expect to be one and you talking about this journey in a realistic way inspires me. It must be a huge rollercoaster but you are doing amazing 💛 it actually reminds me of Brittany Balyn's pregnancy, you both speak about the changes and emotions in a much more raw way, I think people should talk more like this, that way we can actually see what pregnancy is like, the good and "bad" parts!

i cannot believe this sarah!!!! i'm so happy for you;been following you for such a long time i'm so fucking happy for you and that you're healthy. just wanted to congratulate you, about to watch your older videos! i really hope you are feeling okay!!!! stay safe and healthy! can't believe in 12 wks ur gonna me a parent! eeeee

Thank you so much for this video. I really enjoy your honesty on pregnancy as it's equally beautiful and hard. 💚 My only advice is to take care of yourself because postpartum can be really scary. I wish you all the best for you both. 💜💜💜

you look amazing, sarah! so happy for you both.

Hola Sarah! No sé si anteriormente he comentado alguno de tus videos, pero te sigo más o menos desde 2015 y me pone muy contenta por las etapas que vas transitando con tu autenticidad de siempre. Felicidades!!! Saludos desde Argentina 😊

We are about the same time along! That’s so exciting. I’ve been watching you forever and I feel so much less alone watching this with you. I’m also having a girl ❤ I really love these videos you have helped me so much. I didn’t plan this pregnancy and it resulted in a plan b not working. But I have felt like it’s meant to be and my path so here we are. Keep being amazing, thank you so much.

I am here for all this content!!!

Yay!!! So excited to see your video posted! 🥰🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🤘

These videos really are fascinating and appreciated!

Would love to see all the bags and all the videos! It’s so interesting to see how different people experience pregnancy. Thank you so much for sharing with us and taking us on this journey with you!

So happy for you!!

I love your videos. Just entering my 2nd trimester and enjoying following along with your pregnancy 🥰 please please give us a styling the bump video as that has been my biggest struggle for now 😂 great job and good luck for the rest 😀

I absolutely looooove your insight on pregnancy. Idk if it's because of the way you explain things but this is great. You're doing amazing and I'm sending you and Ryan all the love!!!

I looove these pregnancy videos even though I don't plan on having kids for like 10 years. It's just so interesting!

I'm just behind you, 27+4 today. Did my glucose test at 26+1 and failed it on my fasting levels. So now testing 4x a day and my fasting levels just don't go down so I'm on pills now, and if that doesn't work it'll be insulin. It's been my hardest pregnancy struggle knowing I can't prevent it, but still feeling guilty about it, and anxious as we haven't been talked to about a birth plan yet, if they would want to induce, etc etc. up until this I've had an easy breezy pregnancy but I just don't love it and don't want to so this experience again so who knows what the third trimester will bring

You go girl! I have been following your chanel for 6 or 7 years now I think :o and you have been like big sister I never had. Thanks for sharing all of these experiences with us! You look amazing in this shot and I would absolutely love a pregnancy styling video :)

Aaaaall of the pregnancy videos please!! I am 20 weeks :)

Praying for you as you enter the cooler season with baby. I know you suffer with SAD 🙏 Prayers are going up!

Good! you're almost there, and you'll be ready for baby number two!

Thanks for the update vids Sarah :] Hope everything goes well at your next appointment xx

New subscriber here I loved watching your videos and how real you are. I am due around the same time with number 3 would love to see your hospital bag and third trimester video❤

Would love to see videos on supplies! I'm currently 25 weeks along with my first and watching so many "what to buy/not buy" videos these days.

I love these videos so much! I would love to see more ❤

I just wanted to say with my first pregnancy my blood pressure was always slightly elevated. With my second pregnancy I chose to go to a new practice with new midwives. They made me so comfortable and happy that I had no blood pressure issues (until 38 weeks when it suddenly spiked and we decided to induce-no pre e) you may consider switching if you decide to have a future pregnancy!

I love the way you've been doing your makeup lately!! I see youre embracing the light ginger eyebrows and it's so cute on you!! Reminds me of Mia goth, is that your inspo?

Glad you’re doing well. Pregnancy looks great on you! ❤

Dammmn your hair looks amazing

I'm pregnant with a baby girl too. This is my 5th pregnancy and I'm in my 2nd trimester too. Love everything you said about the different shapes of pregnant women ☺️🫶 My MIL asked me recently if I was having twins.. loved that.. then my in-laws asked me about my diet and exercise routine 🙃 I'm 5 months and only gained 5 lbs, but it's all gone to my belly. Guess I'm not a skinny cute pregnant 👍

Hey girl! Not to scare you, but one of my best friends gave birth two days ago and she said contractions were 10/10 on the pain scale and then she got an epidural and gave birth, and then she had to deal with post-birth pain from giving birth after they took her off the epidural. She said you can't prepare yourself for the pain, so maybe just expect the worst? That's not super encouraging, but whatever, you got this!

you look so good omg !!

Hi Sarah. So your PPD fears, I just want to let you know that the hospital will tell you about Baby Blues but they probably won't prepare you for what it feels like. It's really intense. I thought something was seriously wrong with me. It lasted about two weeks for me but I felt like an entirely different person. I felt like a robot honestly. I remember going to my in-laws house 5 days postpartum and having to fake smile and like fake conversation. I didn't care about anything outside of taking care of the baby. Obviously I loved her but she just felt like this blob that I was responsible for. I loved her but I didn't really bond with her. It took probably 2 weeks for the baby blues to stop and about 8 weeks for me to get used to the new status quo. Give yourself some time and grace. Nothing wrong with getting help either if you need it.

My blood pressure is always high when I am at the doctors office, even if I'm just taking someone else to get checked out. It also doesn't help that I have severe needle/shot phobia, so when they burst into the room like "well you actually need 3 shots before you can leave" my BP just skyrockets.

Congrats❤️🎉🐣

CONGRATULATIONS! ❤❤

So happy for you!! All love ❤

You should add vitamin K2 in the MK7 form, people who have cavity prone teeth usually have a deficiency.

Tdap: tetanus, dyptheria, pertussis (whooping cough). Pretty sure you want those in contact with the baby to have had the tdap,too as whooping cough is so contagious. The shot is good for ten years

congrats ❤ i napped everyday in the third trimester

I love these videos! I'm on my 4th pregnancy, at 23 weeks rn. (2 were miscarried) you're so relatable 😅

With restless leg do some squats! I would hold my boyfriend’s hands and do really slow squats and workout my lower leg muscles rather that my glutes and butt and it felt SO good and helped 100%

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I just had a baby on the 4th of October and I always thought I’d be super scared to give birth but ended up being super chill about it even though I did have some complications. I definitely would rather give birth again than deal with after birth stuff. Not to scare you it’s mostly cause of complications I had and also just not knowing anything about the healing process cause it was my first baby as well. Healing wise with out my complications it’s mostly just feeling sore and like there’s a lot of pressure in that area. Definitely recommend taking enough time off to heal and to spend with your baby as well. I’ve gotten mood swings a lot more after birth like I will cry at everything and will get some depression but not too much that I can’t function. One of the things that shocked me the most was how fast my body changed everyone is different but I lost a lot of weight all at once and it was a lot to take in at once cause I was so use to having a belly and then all of a sudden didn’t have one really at all. But over all birthing experience wise It was other worldly feeling it’s hard to explain but I hope you have a healthy and safe delivery and that you heal fast and enjoy your time with your little girl. ❤️

You're doing great!

Omg i didn’t know you were pregnant!!! I’m 32 weeks and ugh hate life lol

Can you buy a blood pressure monitor and do it yourself at home when you are not chilled, of you do one in the morning and one in the evening for a few days which will give you a more accurate picture. He in the UK we are pretty big into at home good pressure monitors. It might help you feel less stressed out you see a normal BP and you can tell the doctor that you took it yourself 6 times and it was normal back up your anxiety argument. X

most of your pregnant symptoms are me after ovulation every month lol. cant imagine how awful emotionally im gonna be pregnant hahahha but i hope i get to experience it

I would definitely watch a hospital bag video. 😁

I would really love to see what's is my hospital bag and what you need for pregnancy products. 🙂😊

I gained 20 lb the first month I was pregnant and I stayed the same until the very end and it all went to my ass. 😂 And a little in my face. I absolutely hated pregnancy. As someone who suffers from insomnia, I dealt with the worst insomnia in my life. The nine months I was pregnant. The glucose drink made me so sick and they're not supposed to make you chug it because it usually causes people to throw up. Yes if your RH negative you have to get a shot before pregnancy and after pregnancy because your blood attacks their blood and can kill your baby. Your baby also has to get a shot if they don't have RH negative factor because the mix of your blood can kill your baby. If your RH negative, usually your first pregnancy is smooth, but then everyone after that it is rough and you have extremely Hi, chances of miscarry. And once you know you're pregnant, you have to go in to an RH negative shot immediately so that your body doesn't kill your baby. Because your body sees it as an virus. Also something my doctors never told me to do or my nurses was to take fiber put it in your water especially after delivery so that your poop doesn't hurt.

I can only imagine how much the medical costs will be. With or without insurance 😅😬

When is your due date? Our pregnancies are basically almost matched up! ❤ So excited for you Sarah! Mine is December 26th!

The getting out of breath was so annoying, i couldnt do anything without needing a breather afterwards

Are you planning on doing any name videos?? like Least Liked and Most Liked names between you and Ryan

Main question: Will the baby named Samara? ☺️❤️

you look absolutely stunning ❤

I wish I'd have documented my pregnancies.

I have 10 children and yet I find these videos so interesting. You look so beautiful and I have feelings of jealousy over your hair 😆

You're glowing I recently decided I'm gonna have a kid via Surrogate in a few years 🌞💖😇 ive always wanted to be mom

You look vur purty

Hi baby good morning mi amor ❤ linda ❤❤❤❤❤ guapa linda bb
