In this video I’m sharing my second trimester recap with baby #2 (and yes, we’re having a little girl). I filmed this as a way to remember the journey because I didn’t really get to document pregnancy like this with my first, and I wanted to be super honest about what’s actually been going on—symptoms, cravings, baby movements, and the little preparations we’ve been doing at home here in downtown Toronto. Symptom-wise, the biggest struggle for me has been sciatica. It’s that lower back pain that shoots down your leg and makes sitting, walking, and even standing up feel so hard. My nausea did calm down halfway through, but the heartburn has been intense, so I’ve been relying on Tums and ginger pills, plus icing my lower back and wearing a belly band when I’m walking to get that “supported belly” feeling. I also talk about cravings (Werther’s, Skittles, a lot of milk, and strawberry popsicles) and my pop habits—switching from Coke to Nestea and Orange Crush—plus how special it’s been to feel baby girl move, talk to her, and let Jericho feel her kicks too. I also share updates from appointments, including my low-lying placenta, a growing fibroid, and why I’m scheduled for a planned C-section on January 7.
