I want a baby so so bad. I pray that all of anyone seeing this video in 2024 is going to have a healthy pregnancy 💕

6 weeks pregnant and my 1st pregnancy! Since week 4, I’ve had cramping, sore breasts and extreme fatigue. Praying all goes well. My husband and I are so excited ❤

[MandisSpace]

[ashleyjones]

I just wanted to jump on the baby train here and say im 12 weeks, SAME symptoms, the fatigue and nausea.😢 im 39 years old, plz keep me in your prayers as I will you other mommies

I am 4 weeks pregnant and finding it hard to believe I am pregnant because I got so used to it not happening every month that we have been trying. The last few months I was convinced I was pregnant, turned out to be PMS 😞 and then eventually I get hardly any symptoms apart from being super hungry which happens before my period also so I wouldn’t let myself think anything of it. Yesterday I got my first positive and then again today. Somehow it feels too good to be true. It is a very surreal feeling I am still shocked and struggling to let myself get too excited. ❤

11 weeks, I'm so happy I didn't get any bad symptoms. Only being tired and some heartburn. Good luck to everyone wish you all a healthy baby

[Diary.ofadaughter]

Only 3 weeks and feeling fatigue, heartburn, nightmares/not being able to sleep, nausea, food aversions and such a strong smell sense

Pregnant after 1 beautiful boy 2021 & two miscarriages 2023…. My double rainbow! Struggling with hope and not having fear but trusting the lord!

[MsShaquan]

I find out I’m pregnant today. 4 weeks. I’m excited to start with journey with my husband. Thanks for info

[Nadia-yxex]

Just found out I was pregnant currently five weeks pregnant. Very excited can’t wait to meet our little miracle baby

[Helga]

Thank you for the tips! I’m 8 weeks pregnant and my expectation was that the first trimester is very important so I will eat healthy and sleep well. The reality is that I feel nauseous 24/7 and can barely eat anything (and usually I crave junk food), my sleep is ruined and I feel so tired I can’t force myself to go for a walk 😂 Also lost a couple of kilos because I can’t always find food that will not make me nauseated. Just waiting for the first trimester to pass!

[sophielehmann]

after 9 years I am pregnant! So here I am watching all your videos about pregnancy after all the videos about miscarriages and infertility 😂❤ thank you for all the tips and helpful information!

[vickiblacknell]

I am 41 this is baby number 8 and I’m 11 weeks pregnant… omg… please keep me in your prayers when I say a tubal ligation is in order after delivery this pregnancy is no joke…

[missld]

Yay for new video :) I’m 4 weeks pregnant today and nervous since I had a missed miscarriage 4 months ago when I was 12 weeks. Everyday is just hard to let the time go by without worry passing first trimester sounds like a dream

[letmamalive]

Finally a video that clearly explains the cramping. Thank you. This was a great video!

I’m 4 weeks at 40yrs. After less than 1 year, I’m excitingly expecting my rainbow baby. Every little ache, pressure, and thought of my age makes me nervous. I’m taking things week by week until my first scan. 🌈 🙏🏾

[alphamindset]

I'm currently 5 weeks and the cramping and spotting has been a huge stressor for me but this is so reassuring

[ellalynne]

I’m currently 4 weeks and my biggest symptom is so many burps. That and mild cramping. I’m so excited

[JesusIsKing]

7 weeks today (that’s what Flo says) I have extreme fatigue, night insomnia, stomach cramps, lower back pain (very mild), gassy, nausea (not often), frequent urination, freezing, excessive discharge. So far… I scheduled my appointment with an OB in early June, only because that’s the only date they had open and everywhere else I called doesn’t have to equipment to do it or can’t do it. I am so impatient and I just need to hear baby’s heartbeat! I need to know everything is fine!
