i’m an avid viewer of colleen ballinger, and her pregnancies are really rough too. i feel like it’s a very common thing to have tough pregnancies but it’s very uncommon for people to talk about it because they feel as though they’re being ungrateful, when in reality, they’re over the moon excited but it just sucks feeling sick and tired and not like yourself for extended amounts of time. thank you for always showing us the reality!
@jenniewright3045 2 жыл бұрын
I was told I was being ungrateful at first but honestly, the sickness, pain, nausea, dehydration and tiredness are something else. I'm grateful my daughter is healthy but oof the symptoms are horrific. Now I'm tackling abuse about feeding my child formula instead of breastfeeding, every part of pregnancy is abused by certain women so I think in the end it makes you tougher. As long as you and baby are healthy that all that ever matters

Student midwife here! A cool fact I love telling pregnant peeps in early pregnancy: if baby continued to grow at the same rate they do during the first trimester, they would weigh HALF A TONNE at term!! Aka even though baby is teeny tiny and it feels like nothing is happening, baby is growing soooo much so your body is really doing the MOST - you go girl! So happy to see this episode Hannah, been following you for years and been following the Hormone Diaries very closely and I'm soooo happy for the pair of you.

I was so grateful to have been working remotely, absolute kudos to the women who have to be around people in a work environment during the first trimester.

uhg I feel like PTSD from being sick is not talked about or considered. And not like trauma from being in hospital, but trauma from actually being ill, feeling awful, limited in what you can do and feeling like a burden. Its unexpected but not surprising that you were triggered by your pregnancy symptoms. But remember, everything is temporary! You'll get through the hard bits! I'm so excited for you and Dan and really invested in this series! Thank you for being so open and transparent with your journey. It has been really helpful and reassuring for my own journey to come in the future! By the way: Whooping cough has been not really talked about in public health because most mums get the jab! Still a big issue though, so important for soon-to-be parents to get vaccinated!

When she talked about those panicky sobs, I really felt that. I had my gallbladder removed, but before that I was sick for about six months with no idea what was wrong. I was trying to work and go to school and ended up failing two classes and nearly losing my job. The first time I got sick after that, it was just regular food poisoning. I knew it wasn’t anything serious, my fiancé had eaten the food too and was feeling the same way, but it was the scariest thing in the whole world. I had those panicky sobs, all throughout that 24 hours. I was terrified it was coming back, that it hadn’t been fixed, that I wouldn’t be able to work or go to school, that we were going to lose our house. All over a bad dinner! All that to say I’m glad it’s not just me, I hope we can at least find some solidarity. ❤️

it's something i'm so terrified about. my mum was incredibly sick all through her pregnancies with me and my sister, she ended up having to terminate her third pregnancy because she was about to be hospitalised because of it and she just couldn't face it, not least with two toddlers to take care of. I'm worried there may be some kind of genetic predisposition in my family on both sides, since the same thing happened to my grandma on the other side and then her uterus failed D:

Yup definitely, the stuff about needing a medicalized pregnancy & illness past experiences impact is really valuable. Being told you miss all the nice cosy place, with less stuff. Why high risk births get less comfort & holistic stuff is a question right?! A specific video on all this pregnant spoonie stuff would be so awesome (if Hannah has energy!) and such unmet need. Finding symptoms hard because it reminded H of being really ill, bless you! The chronic illness aspect is really so helpful, so little content on this. Hooray for making it to Ireland - give yourself credit for spoonie skills at play recognizing that was a good thing to push through and GO versus impact of not going. Re folic acid I've been told I'd need to take 5mg from 3 month before. No mention it might be all through preg! It's kinda rubbish they didn't tell you this when you have been trying for a yr though, you had app about preg in your condition. Something to feedback to your GI team? They need to get better with letting us spoonies with uteruses know these things. My guess is gastro didn't know but they should know to ask O&G!

You were saying how people in other jobs cope with early pregnancy, a friend at work is pregnant and she's suffered with bad sickness. She's only 10 weeks or less but had to tell everyone as we're nurses and she needed people to know so she wouldn't be put at risk with certain patients.

We've been trying for nearly 2 years now. Still nothing. I gave up with tracking everything months ago. It was getting too painful. Everything that felt "different" or could have been a possible pregnancy symptom (high temps/sore boobs etc) lead to nothing but just a period. I've even given up tracking ovulation now. It doesn't help. Does nothing but make me feel bad. We're still trying, but it's becoming extremely stressful now. When we hit the 2 year mark in January, and if the Drs can't find anything "wrong" with me, I think we're going to give up. Thank you for acknowledging us strugglers in the beginning of the video.

I'm just watching the part where you're talking about work and how people do it, to be honest...I almost got fired from my job in my first trimester. It is so hard, even though I was working from home, and I think its ridiculous that pregnant people aren't given more flexibility in their work because there's no way I could've kept up my usual work load...

I found out I was pregnant a week after I started in a new department. Everyone else in the team, apart from my boss, are mothers so they figured it right away but just didn't say anything until I was ready too. I think that helped as more understanding, but yes. There should be more understanding. I ended up telling my boss earlier than I wanted and that helped, but not ideal!

Watching you cry broke this lil spoonie’s heart. I’ve never been pregnant, but I can definitely relate to the heightened emotions and feelings you’ve expressed here. I have an emotional dysregulation disorder and am very sensitive to my hormones also. What you said about not being able to reconcile feeling ill for good reason vs feeling ill because your body is attacking itself really resonated with me, being chronically ill too. Anyway, I’m so happy that you’re pregnant and doing better now. I think you’ll be a great mum!

Congratulations Hannah and Dan! I'm not sure if anyone else mentioned it but your first pregnancy tests where you said you had a faint second line were actually EXTREMELY positive! That super dark line was the test line and the faint one was the control. Those tests were so positive that the test line was "stealing dye" from the control. When I got pregnant with Ada I had also been meticulously tracking (ovulation tests and BBT) and got my first faint positive test at 9 days post ovulation and by day 17 the lines were super dark like that!

I watched this video when it first came out and I've come back to watch it now that I'm nearly 9 weeks pregnant and in the thick of pregnancy sickness and fatigue. I'm so glad because I can relate to almost every single thing you've said and it's making me feel so valid 😢 we were trying for what felt like a really long time (although 8 months is really not that long) and got pregnant an unexpected month too and I feel like part of the reason was because I didn't expect it to happen so I stopped stressing about it. Early on I was wishing for more symptoms and then the symptoms got so bad I just wished I wasn't even pregnant anymore 😪 I cried so much because it felt never ending. It was so isolating. The illness made me feel so anxious and I couldn't accept that I was ill for a good reason because it was too early to be secure in the pregnancy. I also cannot work properly or help out much around the house, and it feels like I'm being pathetic because we don't usually see this part of other peoples pregnancies!!! Thankyou for documenting this and sharing for other people going through it... I have 3 weeks 1 day until I'm done with 1st trimester then hopefully it's up hill from there 😢

Congratualtions! It would be interesting to see you talk to Mama Dr. Jones again, to talk about the medical complications that are common/uncommon etc. And maybe she can help you understand why you need the blood thinners (if you need them) and stuff like that. Too many people think of pregnancy as low risk in general because it is 'natural', when in fact it is super risky even for 100% healthy people.

This makes me so happy! I had a friend who decided about the same time as you 2 to try and get pregnant and it did not work. She went through hell, taking hormones while running a business (and noooot doing well on them), dealing with the disappointment, etc etc. They even had their appointment booked in the clinic. I recommended her your videos because she felt very alone with it all. And 1 month before that clinic appointment they visited me on my tiny island (in June) and not only got engaged but also pregnant, completely unexpected. So now seeing both of you being pregnant makes me so so so happy! Congrats, I hope everything goes well ❤️

I've had it relatively easy with my two pregnancies, my daughter is almost two and I'm currently 24w with #2, but I know lots of people have it much worse than I did. I pretty much feel slightly hungover for months. Lots of relatable moment as a formerly and currently pregnant person.

Hearing someone describe similar problems actually gives me some hope and strength. So thank you so much for sharing! I am actually surprised that I have never before heard of the level of exhaustion you can feel during pregnancy. I'll sleep 12 hours, be awake for 3-4 and be ready to sleep again. I am also truly grateful that I am self-employed and can shift my work around, but at the same time, it gives me anxiety that I wmight not be able to work properly for the rest of the pregnancy 🙈 I hope my second trimester bliss kicks in soon.

27:40 That's interesting! I have a friend who went through chemo and she said that the worst part about it was when they flushed the port with saline because she could taste the salt from inside her tongue. Because blood volume increases in early pregnancy, maybe the bad, metallic taste is you tasting your own blood? (Our senses are relative, so the reason we don't always taste our own blood is because the brain sorts that out.)
