It's not healthy that people can't talk about their feelings early on, it's not fair that miscarriages aren't talked about more openly so many people suffer in silence, I'm really glad you're being so open about it all not enough people are and it shouldn't be like that, Congratulations on your pregnancy👏👏 I hope it sticks💕✨️

I've shared one of my 3 pregnancies at 4 weeks because I'd lost the one before that, and I couldn't handle thinking that my baby would be forgotten if I lost that one too. That was the only baby that made it home with me. 💗 I lost another one after my rainbow baby, and I didn't share that one either. I'm pro sharing whatever you feel comfortable with. I'm so proud of you sharing so early, It was super freeing for me with my rainbow baby.

gigantic congrats to you and chris and raven!! i really appreciate you being so open with your experience so far! not that everyone has to be so open, but i feel like its rare because people get hate or shamed for it. de-stigmatize normal body things!!! 🎉💚

thankyou for touching on early loss in the beginning. I lost my first pregnancy and i felt so alone because we hadn't announced and not many people knew but i was absolutely devastated as wed been trying for 2 years.

Everything that you have gone through, and everything you will go through will be worth it once you hold the little bean in your arms ❤ congratulations Ashley !! You will learn an entire new form of love, like nothing you’ve ever experienced. It’s an amazing feeling to become a parent, welcome to the club ❤❤❤❤

Congratulations! I’m so happy for you, no one can judge for being excited and sharing right away. Sending you light and love ❤️

Congratulations! I am pro-annoucing early! I know people who have lost their babies at all stages and waiting until birth is clearly not feasible! Your baby is loved by you and whether it sticks or not you already love that baby and that baby is changing things and changing your world and will always be a part of you! Don't ever let anyone tell you it was risky to say anything. I pray that your baby grows healthy and that you have a safe pregnancy and delivery! If the worst does happen, we will be here to support you in whatever way we can. I am excited for you and I am proud of you for doing what you felt you should!!! Congestion can be a symptom in pregnancy, I haven't been pregnant in awhile so I don't know what is safe to take for it, in the meantime I believe something like vicks vaporub can be sniffed to help clear your sinuses (read the label or ask the pharmacist, pharmacists know if things are safe and can offer alternatives!), or use a netti pot!!

Omg how did I miss this video!!!! Congrats girlie I’m so excited for you!! I’ve lost my son at 19 weeks, I had to deliver him and it is still the hardest thing I ever had to do, and your so right I felt ashamed like what was wrong with my body - with me as a woman. I’m supposed to be able to carry right? I went through post partum so bad because of it. I do wish someone would have given good solid advice - talk about my feelings - don’t feel ashamed because those baby blues and post partum are totally normal girl!!! Back to the happiness 🎉 your going to do so great!!!!!

Congratulations 🤩 currently 4weeks with my second, hope you have a safe pregnancy ❤

Congratulations Ashley!! I lost my first pregnancy one year ago and I would suggest just telling early if you want to. Because a miscarriage is not something you want to keep secret. That's not healthy. It's was so much heavier, mentally AND physically than I could have ever imagined. And I only knew that I was pregnant for 3 days before I lost it. But I'm 19 weeks pregnant right now and everything is going well! 😁😁😁

Congrats Ashley!!! Pregnancy and parenthood is such a wild experience. Just a heads up since you talked about the weight and body image aspect, it will take a while for your body to settle in to its new normal after pregnancy. It will experience so many rapid changes over 9ish months and it will take 9 months to a year after pregnancy for your body to settle in. So just be patience with yourself and give your body grace after birth. I have seen a lot of women on Reddit who get frustrated when they haven’t lost ten pounds a month after birth or still can’t fit into their old clothes. I was a small person before pregnancy, I was literally all belly and I couldn’t fit into my old clothes even a year after. It’s not bad, it’s just a byproduct of the miraculous things your body can do!! Can’t wait to follow your experience!

CONGRATULATIONS ASHLEY! STAY POSITIVE…❤

Congratulations Ashley I’m so happy for you and your new addition, wish the best for you with the pregnancy and forwards🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

CONGRATULATIONS ASHLEY!!!

I'm so happy for y'all. I hope everything goes smoothly here on out. You will make a great mom.

So excited for you! Congratulations! Cant wait to meet your little one😊❤ Please share more about your pregnancy journey if you like to.🤭🫶

Congrats! I’m also pregnant with my first & found out at 5 weeks. Those first weeks were mentally the hardest for me. It gets better ❤

Oh wow! Not an update I expected!! Congrats Ashley & Chris 😊

Ahhhh I remember being so excited after my first ultrasound, I went shopping. Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️❤️

So excited for you and your partner Ashley 🥰 hope you’re doing well!

I’m so excited for you!!! You’re such a beautiful soul and you’ll be such a good mom ❤

congrats ashley!!

Congratulations, Ashley! 🥳

Congratulations Ashley, Im so happy Raven will be big sister!

Congratulations! Pretty exciting. I had nausea with all of my pregnancies. It's really tough. There isn't one thing that works all the time, but sour hard candies worked more often than anything else. There's also meds if it's really bad. Just do whatever works for you!

I’m getting weirdly emotional because I’ve been following you on YT for a couple years now and this is just so wonderful. My second child’s 2nd birthday is this week and seeing you radiating with excitement and joy brings me back to those feelings; it’s just such a special, unique, pivotal and unforgettable time in your life. So excited for you!!! Congrats mama!!!! ❤

So happy for you Ashley !!!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, congrats!!!!! So happy you share this journey with us.

Congratulations!!! I had gestational congestion too…nose strips/breathing strips are so helpful! Wishing you the best!!! hang in there, and enjoy every minute…it goes slow and quick ❤

Congrats!! Keep being positive!

With my first pregnancy I was 17 and I still lived with my parents and I had noticed hard patches on my pj tops and I got a bit grouchy with my mom who had washed my pjs and asked if she had done something or used a product to cause "glue" to be hardened on my pjs... she looked at me and said "you're pregnant" and she told me to get dressed and we went pregnancy test shopping, LOL... then she took my dad away for the weekend and I tested and when she called I told her it was positive, which she already knew. She told my dad while away so he couldn't kill my now ex :D HAHAHAHAH I had a regular cycle and wasn't late yet and that was 21 years ago :O The boobs are a very tell tale sign!!! I still love that my mom told me I was pregnant though based on my pjs :D

wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy ❤ being someone who had an extremely difficult Hyperemesis Gravidarum pregnancy who didnt get to chose when to tell people i was pregnant because i needed to have medical help and cut back on my work, I'm so happy you've got to have the choice to share your pregnancy how you want to. Based off the extreme nausea and vomiting I had to experience for 9 months and 9 days I recommend eating dry mashed potatoes because the texture doesnt hurt as bad coming back up just incase. Anyways, from a random somewhat new follower of yours who likes to watch your plant content, congrats on your pregnancy 🎉

I'm so happy for you!! My first pregnancy I had mild nausea for a few weeks, the second one was intense nausea for months. Like a lifetime's worth of nausea. Zofran helped take it down a notch, so if it gets really bad, I'd recommend asking your doc about that. My biggest craving that I remember was cole slaw from Kentucky Fried Chicken. So weird.

Congrats!! Your gonna be awesome parents!! Wishing you the best!! 🥰🥰

Omgosh Ash im soo happy for u baby girl congratulations very happy that u are open about it God Bless u with the baby when u less expected i be praying for u mama everything is going to be ok just relax and dont do extreme walks and lefting or picking at lease for the first 3 month i know u will be ok🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

Congrats Ashley!

I am so excited for you and your husband!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Congrats!!!!

Congratulations to the both of you. Just take one day at a time and you will get thru it. When I was PG I could not stand the smell of coffee and I love coffee. I ate a lot of shakes & ice cream because I couldn't keep anything down and for the first 3 months I lost weight but then in the 2nd trimester I was not sick anymore and I could finally eat again and my baby was 9 lbs. 2 oz and 21" long. Of course I had a C-section because she was to big. Good Luck and can not wait to see how it is going for you. Love your channel.

Congratulations!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Congrats. I always announced early bc i was so excited. Do not feel like talking about a pregnancy early will somehow determine how the pregnancy continues (i know for me i sometimes felt i was for lack of a better term, jinxing myself). You have heard your babys sweet precious heartbeat. I believe you and Chris will be great parents and this little one will be as beautiful as his/her parents.

Congratulations! Ashley

SO happy for you!! One thing you can do to sneak a bit of protein in smoothies is adding Hemp Hearts! They’re available at most grocery stores in the bakery aisle, you may also be able to find unflavored protein powder that you can add in as well to sneak some protein in on the bad days ❤

😂 it’s been 6 years since my pregnancy and oh boy I have NOT forgotten about how terrible it was 😂 but I love my little guy so much. Im planning on trying for another this fall and I am so nervous to do it again. But it’s a blessing and worth it. I hope your pregnancy goes well for you Ashley. 🖤 I too had the aching boobs OMG! And cramps for like a month worse than my period!!! I heard with the first pregnancy your uterus stretches in the beginning and that’s why you can get such bad cramps. I didn’t have morning sickness tho so I consider that a win anyway.

Congratulations❤❤❤

I am soooo excited for you! Sending love and joy and happiness ❤️🎉 my oldest son gave me a present of baby booties for their first baby.. I can remember the feeling of knowing I was going to be a Oma.. And now I have 5 grandchildren and it’s just the best time..

Omg congratulations!!!

Congratulations ❤🎉

Congratulations!!!!

Congratulations so Happy For You 🥰

Congrats!! I'm so happy for you! I'm also pregnant at 13 weeks today and tried for about a year before that 😊 the first pregnancy really is a wild new experience 😅 the symptoms are getting less intense, now I have nausea only in the evenings, I hope it will get easier for you too! 😊❤

Congratulations!

Congratulations to you and your family - Beige isn’t boring at all I actually love it 💐💐💐💐💐💐

Congrats!

Congratulations! ❤ I have the same thing with smells when my mental health is bad and I'm always scared to be pregnant lol

Congratulations. Make sure you take your folic acid to help prevent birth defects. Also try keeping dry crackers at your bedside and eat a couple of them before getting out of bed to help with the nausea. Good luck momma, you got this

Congratulations 🎈

I felt like the failure u mentioned. It was 3 yrs ago, I was 8 wks, an was suppose to have my 1st appt that day. I still struggle with emotions about it. But!!! My 1st 2 pregnancies was successful. They now 18 an 23(his is tomorrow. Huge congratulations to u girl. Cnt wait to watch this journey with u. U are just glowing ✨️ 😍 💛

Becca de la Plants is also pregnant, she's at the end of the journey now! Good luck Ashley, your subscribers and you plants are rooting for you 😎

I couldn't eat any protein when I was pregnant, except peanut butter and protein shakes. The protein shakes saved me. Congratulations!

Ahhh congrats mama❤💖💖

When you said about not taking this time that you tested seriously and not watching it like a hawk like normal I can totally relate to that. I just found out that I was pregnant. During the same thing I have PCOS and I normally stare at it like crazy and this time I just had an extra one and took it and like started getting ready for my shower and stuff and was like oh I should check that and it was a big positive positivesick line which is so wild lol but yeah Yours reminded me of that

Congratulations you're gonna be a dope mom

Best wishes!

Congratulations! I’ll be 6 weeks on Sunday and I definitely have a small glass cup I pee in too 🤷🏾‍♀️ not wasting Plastic. Because the way my anxiety is set up I need to constantly test

Congrats Ashley!! Are you gonna do the blood test to figure out the sex? It was accurate for me and I did sneak peak!

Congratulations! That’s so funny! I just recently found out I’m 6 weeks pregnant! We also bought gender neutral clothes.

Wait you’re so cute, you’re so happy. I love it

My first pregnancy my sex drive was really high too. I was also very nauseous 24/7 until half way through my 3rd trimester. All i could eat was crackers, plain toast, occasionally Applesauce or banana, sprite or water. The smell of ground beef made me gag and salivate. I was just a mess haha.

Congratulations

Congratulations,that’s such great news ,after the first 3 months you will feel better👍drink more water .... 💚🌱☘️🌵💚

Every time I watch These videos I’m like “ am I the only one that only needed to pee on the one test and that was it lol” I had taken some through out the years so with the one positive that was all I needed

Congratulations. I know exactly what you mean. I have 4 kids and every time was different.

Thank you for your vulnerability mama 💗

For the protein, maybe you could try sweeter high protein things? Like Kodiak Cake (or similar) brand brownies, muffins, etc mixes? Not as much protein as a steak but more than not anything at all?

I have two. Both pregnancies I puked non stop.. and I won’t do it again, but I would never not do it

Congrats

So happy for you and Chris. Congrat-u-fucking-lations!!!!

Congratulations! I have very bad PCOS as well (like 1 period in 10 months) and had to use fertility drugs to conceive my daughter. After that, I got pregnant naturally twice with the second pregnancy leading to my son. The OBGYN told me sometimes a pregnancy can reset your body when you have PCOS so fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻 I was nauseous with my daughter all day, everyday for 17.5 weeks and 12 weeks with my son. Not the healthiest choice, but sucking on jolly ranchers was all that helped! Hopefully it ends soon, for your sake ❤

Also tips if u get cramping that is normal cuz your uterus is growing a new life❤❤❤❤

Congratulations ❤️

Btw everyone pregnancy experience is different and it’s not hereditary. Even the same person will have different experiences depending on their health situation, age, gender of the baby, yaddayaddayadda. I had morning sickness until 20 weeks. It wasn’t as frequent but it was still there. Just something to keep in mind ❤
