This resonated with me so much. I’m 7 weeks pregnant and feel so low. I feel totally overwhelmed trying to keep up with work and guilty and lazy. Thanks for sharing! It made me feel seen.

8 weeks here and just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing. First trimester is so isolating and so many emotions to deal with. On one hand I’m so happy but I’m the other I feel sad because i feel I’ve lost a part of myself. Before I got pregnant, I was super active and worked out everyday, thrived on being on the move and being productive. Now I literally have energy to do nothing but lay on the couch. I’m nauseous all day, and the medication I’m taking to manage it makes me dead tired. I’m lonely because I’m home all the time and none of the “fun” part of pregnancy has stated yet. It’s hard as hell!!

Thank you for your vulnerability at week 6/7. I'm 8 weeks and I've been crying and dying of nausea and intestinal stuff. Good lord it is so tough and good to know I'm not the only one.

Wow I honestly can’t tell you how much I needed this video. I’ve had such a similar experience with my first trimester. What I thought would be the most magical time has actually been one of the most miserable periods and I too feel SO guilty for saying this. It’s so incredibly isolating feeling so poorly, not leaving the house, not seeing your friends & family and having no distractions from how awful you’re feeling. I can relate to every single thing you are saying. I can’t even walk past the fridge without gagging. I’ve never wished time away more. Really appreciate you being so open and honest. Feel like every other pregnant person I know is having the most magical time so it’s been really difficult to find someone who can relate. I’m 15 weeks now and the nausea has definitely eased off in the last week or so. Feeling more human has finally given me a burst of excitement again but WOW who knew pregnancy could be so tough?! Thank you again for filming this video. Really appreciate it ❤❤

I’m so glad I came across this video of yours. I’m now 7+1 weeks pregnant and STRUGGLING so bad with nausea, vomiting and just feeling so sick and ill all the time. I’m also feeling so low, scared and anxious. I can really relate to what you talked about at 15 minutes in this video. Thank you so much for making this video!! 😭❤️ This gives me strength and hope that all of this will get better and that I’m not alone. Wishing you all the best!!

Thanks for this video Ruby pregnancy is painted as such a fun easy journey at the moment on Instagram it’s so refreshing, also just because this baby was so wanted doesn’t mean you can’t complain ❤️

I know you posted this a few months ago, but I have watched so many first trimester blogs and I really want to thank you for yours. It was brave of you to be so raw and so many of your symptoms are the same as mine so it really is very reassuring to know that someone out there on the other side of the world has found this as hard as I have. I have had IBS for 7 years but I had a terrible flare up between weeks 4-7 too and it was so so painful and I have only seen 1 other person who went through this! The nausea is currently sending me insane at 10+6 and I am counting down to the 2nd trimester. I really hope I also feel better like you did. Thank you so much for sharing. 🥰

I have nausea every second of the day it ranges from low to medium nausea. I’ve been non stop nauseous for 4 weeks straight. I need a break! I’m at the end of my rope I almost cried today. I’m so grateful for my sweet baby but this sickness is ruining my life at the moment. I’m 11 weeks approaching 12. I’m just praying I’ll be one of those women on Reddit that say they finally wake up one day and it just stops. And what makes it worse is going to work and still trying to keep up with the home. My kind husband is very patient and understanding but I don’t feel like myself and it’s effecting me emotionally. I close my eyes and just imagine the moment my baby will finally come out and I’ll hold them in my arms. Sorry for the rant lol I hope all of us ladies are the light at the end of the tunnel soon!

Having just come out the first trimester myself, this was music to my ears to see someone else go through the same symptoms. It’s draining and so difficult and lonely at times, this video was so raw I loved it, it’s deffo gonna help other pregnant mums lots, thanks so much ruby! Can’t wait to follow along your pregnancy journey ❤

I’m currently 7 weeks 1 day and I needed this today. I’ve always wanted to be a mum so I just feel so guilty and confused that I feel so low all the time right now, like I’m not appreciating how lucky I am. But as you said, it’s hard to feel excited and grateful when you feel so rubbish all the time. Just got to keep surviving as best I can until the 2nd trimester 🤞

I’m 10 weeks right now and thank you so so much for sharing the vulnerable side of the first trimester! I’m not alone

Bless you Ruby 🤍 I imagine this has helped soooo many mums!! Can’t wait for the next part of your happy journey 👶🏻

Hey Ruby! Just wanted to say that I think it’s amazing that you’ve posted such a raw and honest video relating to your pregnancy. I’m sure it’ll help so many women out there going through similar things. I’m just so over the moon for you and Sam, sending you both lots of love! ♥️

Thank you for showing all of pregnancy the first trimester vlog the good and the bad. truly appreciate you being vulnerable.

Ahhh Ruby you look absolutely gorgeous and glowing. As a mum of 3 I can reassure you the emotions you go through are real! Let Sam do what he can, my husband was always happy to help when ever he could and wanted to look after me. 😊

I’ve just watched this while I’m 19 weeks today, and you really captured the feeling I had from 6-14 weeks! I didn’t have any IBS/cramping issues but I was sick almost everyday anytime I woke up or was hungry, I also felt very low between 8-12 weeks and I did wonder if I’d make it through/ had thoughts about if I could actually do it (birth/having a baby). This video would’ve really helped me (if I could bare doing/watching anything or even speaking about it) but I am sure it will help lots of people. I’m feeling much more positive about it all now, the 1st trimester emotions are absolutely awful and I’m glad I’m out of it!! Glad you’re feeling better xx

Thank you so much for sharing this! I am about 2 months behind you and when you shared your symptoms etc on instagram it helped me so much 🥰 I suddenly didn’t feel so alone and scared. This video will help someone more than you can even imagine! Xx

Oh my darling, I wanted to reach in and give you such a hug, well done gorgeous, you’re a real trooper and I’m sure sharing your first trimester struggles will really help many ladies our there, take care my lovey, hugs to you all ❤❤❤

HI Ruby, I'm currently 10 weeks and it was so validating to see your video and see how you went through the same things. I'm looking forward to the next phase, and this video gave me hope that it will get better! :)

Hi Ruby, I watched this video when you first posted this and are now watching this again at 14 weeks pregnant! I remembered how honest you were and felt like I needed to hear that things get better and these awful symptoms are normal. I have been feeling the same as you since around 6 weeks pregnant and are still struggling day to day with sickness and feeling generally crap! Just wanted to say thank you for posting this as it actually really helps hearing that someone else has gone through the same thing and came out the other end with their beautiful baby girl that makes it totally worth it.. 💕
