I weighed 89 lbs when I got pregnant with my son. I only gained 18 lbs with him and he weighed 6lbs 8oxs. You will be fine. Congratulations!

I’m five weeks too and absolutely freezing!! Under blankets and with warm clothes and I’m still freezing! I feel you

Of course you can tell people you are pregnant.. I told lots of people (so did my mum and my husband) because everyone was excited. Maybe just don't tell people who don't genuinely care for you. I don't regret telling even though I ended up miscarrying my first pregnancy (2014) because I want people to know that miscarriages are so common and shouldn't be a taboo topic! We should not be ashamed about something beyond our control. I am now nearly 6 months pregnant, things are looking good, super excited.. but I still openly talk to people about my miscarriage.

Hey Jen! I want to share...I was actually at 76 lbs starting weight when I got pregnant (4'8" mama here) and gained around 18 lbs throughout the pregnancy. My body didn't change much but had a very very big bump which made me look like I swallowed a huge huge watermelon. Haha! I gave birth to a healthy 7.2 lbs baby girl. I just want to say you're not alone...there are a lot of petite moms who did very well. The human body is amazing 👍🏼 I'm excited for your journey 😚

I am 5 weeks pregnant too!!! I'm so glad your making videos. It's my first baby and I am so scared! Congratulations!

When ever I get blood drawn I have to ask them to use a child size needle because my veins are so small. Next time u need it done u might want to ask them for one too. It has helped tremendously and now they don't have to poke me 10x. I hope that helps and I'm so excited to watch your whole pregnancy journey. Thank you for sharing it with us.

So happy for you!! My baby is almost 7 months now. I experienced horrible morning sickness around 8-13 weeks. I thought I was dying and didn't know how I'd get through it. I always said that I wasn't one of those glowing, happy pregnant women. Now, every single day I wish that I could relive all of it again. It was, and still is, the best time of my life. I'm praying for a healthy pregnancy and baby for you! I'm so happy that you're now comfortable to talk about it with people :)

[Hhoai]

Omg. You look so young! I thought you were 23 or around there. I hope to be as beautiful. I hope the pregnancy goes smoothly 😊

I totally felt cold early in my pregnancy too! At work, I would wear a sweater and slacks that came up to my ankle and booties and there's a sliver of ankle skin that's exposed and that sliver of skin would feel freezing I would wrap a blanket around my whole legs like I was wearing a potato sack. Anyway, loving these vlogs! It's so nice to hear someone else's journey and relating to them. It's been very fun, helpful, and encouraging. I'm currently 11 wks. Thank you!! 🌹🌷🌸💐🌺🌻🌹🌹🌾💐

Im very petite like you. Since I always worry about my size that might affect my life, it's nice to hear that you are doing well, you also gives me hope in a way. I'm very glad that you are here to share with us! please continue to update, and good luck! <3

Hi Jen! I was the same way with my pregnancy, I was so scared to tell people about me being pregnant! I told my close family and friends but told them to keep it a secret until after the first trimester. My son is now 10 months and brings us soo much joy! A baby is such a blessing. Your life will feel so complete when your baby gets here! Congratulations!!! I'm so excited and happy for yoU!

[YanaHardy]

Congratulations Jen!!! I'm quite petit too and now I'm pregnant with my first baby. I'm 27 weeks now and it's so weird to see how my body is changing and i'm gaining weight for the first time in my life :))
The baby is kicking like crazy while I'm typing it.. it's the most magical feeling. Good luck in this wonderful journey :)

Hi Jen! I work at an OBGYN and the Zika virus is a big thing that's happening right now. Doctors are not advising pregnant women to travel out of the country. This virus is contracted through mosquito bites. So just be careful!! Love your videos and congrats!

[airbunnies]

We're about the same age and height and my daughter just turned 7! Good luck on your pregnancy❤️

[beautyfromwithin]

I am so happy you are making these pregnancy vlogs so that you can keep us updated when things happen! Love you, Jen! I know you will be such a wonderful mother!😊💗

[sallywei]

omg stopped watching your videos for a month and now the first video i'm back you are pregnant!! Congrats!!!!

[imtoolazyyyy]

Just... gotta say it. That is a lower weight than I expected! I'm the same height and generally the same build (XS for a lot of clothes sizes, small chest, etc), but I'm 20+ pounds heavier. Kinda a crazy thought! I'm interested to see how these vlogs progress and if c-section is in your future and more of what a role your smaller frame may play in the pregnancy :O.

[RetchedSole]

I'm glad that you mentioned that we should not aim to have your body type because everyone is different (: I can't wait to see where this journey takes you.

[gieahogan]

You will be just fine Jen! I am also petite (5'05) and gave birth to a healthy 8lbs 8oz boy. No C-section. Only thing that bothered me in my last trimester was that he was sitting on my ribs! I had no idea that he would be so big. Do not worry too much. With every doc's appointment they will tell you what vaccines you will need and what the next step is. One advice I can give you is, keep exercising! any kind of exercise will benefit you during and after delivery. :) Good luck, don't panic and do not listen to too much negativity! Just enjoy the pregnancy because it goes by fast! I had definitely enjoyed my pregnancy and secretly wanted to last it longer. (it may sound crazy lol!)

When i got pregnant with my daughter. I get so cold most of the time just like you. Hope you have the best pregnancy journey
