FIRST TRIMESTER VLOG 4-12 WEEKS - FINDING OUT, FIRST SCANS, SYMPTOMS

A personal one today opening up about our first trimester. I wanted to document the emotions, thoughts and symptoms that were going on behind the scenes until we announced our little one. It's such a lonely, often anxious time and I really enjoyed watching these first trimester vlogs myself.

Tbh I had a feeling for a long time Laura was pregnant, but figured she'd tell us if and when she feels ready. How lucky we are that you guys are sharing your lives so openly to us strangers.

Oh Laura, it is so refreshing hearing you say you will be hopeful as it’s such magic to be able to get pregnant. I felt this so much. We have been ttc after loss for 17 months and whenever I see that positive again I promise myself to have this mindset.
Congratulations, you will be such wonderful parents ❤

I'm currently 38 weeks following a miscarriage and can identify with a lot of your feelings. I feel like it's been a bit of a roller coaster because we're so happy and grateful but at the same time there's always just a little piece of you that worries about what might happen. We had a scan at 8 weeks too and seeing that tiny heartbeat was just magical ❤wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy x

I do love seeing the behind the scenes of the secret and I'm so happy for you both to be beyond the scariest period. 🥰 One of the things I wish someone had told me about when I was pregnant is "pregnancy brain" -- in two senses:
1. you'll start forgetting everything and that only slightly comes back (my kid is 23 now & I still am shit at remembering🤣)
2. Some people (🙋‍♀) are really affected by all the hormones and start to feel a tad insane, or not fully like themselves mentally, or extra emotional or sensitive. YOU WILL BE YOURSELF again lol, I promise. It's just the hormones. 💜💜💜

Hi Laura, Ollie and Otto. I can imagine how tough and stressful the first trimester has been for you after your very sad miscarriage. I’m just delighted for you now that you’re entering the second phase and all is looking well. You can see the relief that both of you feel at the end of this video and the excitement of seeing baby in your scans. I’m so looking forward to seeing your future videos and baby growing - so many memories of when I was pregnant a long time ago! Times have changed a lot since then in medical care but the joy one feels never changes.❤️🥰

Haha! I love your Chinese food story! It’s SUCH a pregnancy thing!

When I was about 3 months pregnant with my first, it was my birthday and I wanted Indian food from a very specific place. My husband decided to take me to a very chic, highly rated Indian restaurant. I smiled the whole time from arrival to being seated, then excused myself and BALLED in the restroom! I mean I was a wreck for maybe 10 minutes in there. I calmed down, still red and puffy, sat back down and my husband felt terrible. We ordered and ate and the place turned out to be amazing, still my favorite to this day!

Thank you, thank you for sharing so much of your journey with us, you two. Though I'm a stranger you'll never meet, I can't help but feel as if you are both friends and I'm so very happy for you. Your videos are such blessings to so many. May God bless you in equal measure. 💗

I cant express my happiness for you two. I cant imagine a more deserving couple! This is the luckiest lil bean to have you two! 💗

[alladokashenko]

Oh my, I was pregnant just a year ago, and you reminded me about craving sour stuff. Completely forgot about it, but I was eating the whole bags of sour patch candies and drink only a cloudy lemonade during my first trimester! Congratulations again! Wishing you an easy and safe birth for both if you! You have a world of joy awaiting ❤️
