In this video I’m sharing my full first trimester recap with baby #2—and you guys, it has been very, very different from my first pregnancy. My first pregnancy was so easy that I genuinely enjoyed being pregnant… and this time around? Not the case. I talk about how I found out super early (right after Mother’s Day), how I told Jericho, and why I felt excited but also anxious because the timing was earlier than we planned (I was aiming for a spring baby, but God’s timing had other plans and baby is due in the winter). I also get into the real symptoms: nonstop nausea and vomiting (not just mornings), exhaustion, and the wild cravings/aversions—like how I suddenly couldn’t even smell my favorite ice cream and ended up craving straight sugar and junk. I share the emotional tug-of-war of wanting what I can keep down while also stressing about the gestational diabetes test later on. I talk about my first doctor visit and ultrasound (hearing the heartbeat is always my favorite), plus the fibroid update and what my doctor told me to watch for. Finally, I share what helped me survive: nausea meds from my doctor, ginger pills/chews, Tums for heartburn, my stretch mark routine (Bio-Oil + Palmer’s), and the deodorant that actually worked when pregnancy hormones had me smelling “faster.”
