MA'AM you just helped me solve a problem i've had all my life. I did not know about restless leg syndrome and you described it and I looked into it and i've been getting this since I was a child, seemed like nothing ever helped. I always felt like I had to consistently move or stretch my feet because of this uncomfortable aching sensation at night and I just never knew how to describe it to other people so I never found out what it is, I just accepted it as part of my life. Thank you!

I’m in my third trimester with my second baby….one thing that has helped SO much with heartburn is some oat milk before bed. I notice a huge difference when I do this and don’t have to take tums at night. Easy fix 😊

[nikazotochkina]

Sleep with a humidifier changed my life during this pregnancy. I get awful pregnancy congestion during the night which is accompanied by nose bleeds. I just couldn't sleep because I couldn't breath. I now have it blasting in my face & it's awesome!

1000% recommend a pelvic floor therapist for incontinence in pregnancy. Its amazing how simple exercises or stretches can change how you experience incontinence in pregnancy.

I’m 6 weeks today. I’ve been doing the pillow between the legs for years just because it helps me sleep. I can’t do without it!

[Mari-LiisJakobsoo]

Nicole, could you please make a video about things to check or do before getting pregnant. Like what vitamins to take to prepare, should you visit a doctor, mindset and so on. Thank you, love your videos ❤

[taramisu]

Lol 😂 that story you shared about the pee and projectile 💩 😂 I can’t !

[Yololove]

So happy for you!!🎉 I had my last child 19 years ago and I still sleep with a pillow between my legs...it keeps your back feeling so much better.

[sherryestabrook]

Thank you so much for talking about peeing!!! I had hyperemesis gravidarum in my pregnancy and every time I vomited, I also peed like Niagara Falls! So that happened several times a day! Thank god I was pregnant in 2020 and being humiliated in the privacy of my own bathroom. Otherwise it would have been a disaster requiring disability leave!

[daniellerace]

If you have incontinence you can also see a Pelvic Floor physical therapist if you have access to one. You can treat it during pregnancy or postpartum! Leakage is something commonly fixed with PT!

[brooke]

You’re absolutely glowing! I’m so happy I just saw this video since hubby and I are trying for baby number 2 lol.

[kristenmicula]

Omgosh I wish I knew about the calcium/magnesium liquid supplement! I had the worst acid reflux when I was pregnant-I couldn’t even bend down to dry my legs in the shower! 😅 Thanks so much for all these tips! ❤️ I will definitely be using these next pregnancy! 😊

5:52 "Your pelvic floor is on the floor" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm dead
So true, sadly ...

[ninarenee]

I have a similar story where I laughed SO HARD a few days after birth and my husband just cracked me up and boom I peed my pants on the floor and it made us laugh even harder LOL so thankful I’m not alone 🤭

[cassieleefryeklund]

I used these post postpartum for the bleeding. Love them

[alena]

34 weeks with baby #2 🙋🏻‍♀️ So excited for you!! My first, sweet little girl, is currently 17 months 💕💕

[HLDlove]

I am in my second trimester and I 10000% relate to the protein! If I'm not upping my protein and including it often during the day, I am ravenous at the end of the night. Bonus, my 2 year old is a protein fan too so we often eat the same things for snacks.

[annazilar]

Almond milk is also a natural anti acid! Complete life saver 😊 thank you for your videos, I'm also on pregnancy number two with a toddler 💙

I appreciate your honesty about the incontinence you experienced after Sage. I had the same and was really worried when I had no control those first few days. It got better but now on baby #2, and with nausea.. I have had too many accidents already. I am actually going to talk to my obgyn to get some PT. During pregnancy this time around

[aprilb]

Absolutely love your honesty it's so refreshing ❤❤❤
