As someone who had EXTREME pain during my entire pregnancy, it was so hard to be positive. So, if you’re reading this and wondering why it’s SO HARD to be positive right now, it’s understandable! I had heartburn so bad that I was going to the ER with extreme chest pain only to be told “you’re pregnant, it’s normal” and itching all over my body to the point where I literally couldn’t sleep at all & had to be put on medication (that didn’t help). In the third trimester, I had extreme Carpel Tunnel in both hands and was unable to work or do anything!!! Before this, I was a healthy 26 year old! It was crazy! I’m beyond grateful for my healthy baby girl but man, I never want to be pregnant again! If it’s in God’s plans for my future, I hope and pray it’s smoother the 2nd time around! My husband and I actually think adoption may be a better option for us in the future. (I know my case is rare but it was REAL)

Lets not move into toxic positivity. We can be appreciative of our babies growing in our tummies and still complain that we are unwell as a result of it. For me the last months were really rough, my pelvic grindle pain was extreme, I was non stop overheating and swollen due to summer. There is no way to flip the perspective that my limps were swollen so much. I couldnt close my fists well 😭 yes I am in awe of how I grew this baby, but it did it hurt to grow it, and the birth was a nightmare out of the worse horror movie. But yeah my baby worths it all, and even more!

Your brother Ben keeps telling people “I wish she’d just get a reduction. I’m so embarrassed to be seen around those.” So fucked up that he would say that.

Thanks for this! I needed help reframing - I'm having a summer pregnancy and it is ROUGH because I can never feel cool. Looking forward to autumn ☺️

I know this is late, I'm a bit behind on your videos. But that lamp is so pretty!! Do you mind sharing where you got it?

I'm glad you're happy, Abby, and that your baby dreams are coming true. Best Wishes! 🙂

I love that mindset shift from “I hate this” to “my baby is working so hard to grow.” I think you could apply this to the fourth trimester too; if you have a fussy, colicky baby, going through sleep/eating changes, instead of saying “this sucks, when will this end??” We can say “my baby is working so hard towards those milestones.” Doesn’t make it less hard to wake up several times a night, but it’s a much healthier perspective.

I've had 4 beautiful children, and I can attest to this! There were days when I was just absolutely thrilled that I got one whole dish washed. You are just a beautiful person, inside and out! God bless you and your little family!

I wish you would just talk about your experience instead of framing it as advice

[allisongracehall]

Thank you, Abby! I’m not pregnant and never have been, but I have struggled with anxiety around the potential challenges of pregnancy, body changes, and a “how could I possibly handle this” mentality. You have brought me comfort!

I LOVE this video! I am 7 weeks pregnant with my third baby and sometimes catch myself complaining about the nausea but having a positive attitude and a grateful heart towards God is key. Congrats on your bundle of joy and prayers for your birth and delivery!!

chances are about 100k guys a day "stay positive" about your pregnancy so congrats

I can really relate on the being tired. I’m pregnant with my second, so this time I don’t have the luxury to rest when I need to. I have a 1 year old to care for, even when I’m tired. And of course I love my son and love taking care of him, but sometimes, I need to rest. In general, I am not big on screen time, but in this season of fatigue, my son and I will watch tv together, read books on the couch and just rest. I know there are more exciting things I can do with him, and we still make time to go on walks and go to parks. But right now, I genuinely am tired, and for good reason, my body is growing another human. So, when we need to rest we do, and if slowing down means watching more tv for now than normal, well that’s just where we are in life right now. I have a hard time being ok with that, but what else can you do? Just be grateful for my health babies and enjoy the extra shows.

Hi Abby
I'm 41weeks right now and watching your video in the early labour. Even though it hurts and I'm nervous about the birth, I've been waiting for so long for this baby that I'm just glad it's going to be over soon and I'll get to finally hold my baby. (probably today!)
Something midwives say is that every contraction brings your baby closer to being born. The more painful the contraction is, the more progress you're making.

sorry about the internet as a whole, classically abby

I've always been a very positive person about pregnancy. It's honestly a gift from God. I understand is painful and uncomfortable, but the pain is for a reason. It's all for your baby. Completely worth it.

They know, we know, they know they're lying. And they still lie. So it's time to authorize forceable detainment. Way overdue.

[Lifeinpink]

God bless you and your baby Abby. I hope the last few weeks go quickly for you!

[anthonygenejones]

I'm not going to lie; I am terrified of potentially being a parent, but I also want to be a father.

You are glowing! Beautiful woman! Your husband is very fortunate to have you by his side. You are an outstanding lady!
