hey guys it's Jen and here's another
pregnancy Vlog update it is 10 weeks and
2 days technically 3 days because it's
super late right now it's past midnight
but we're going to say 2 days cuz I
haven't slept yet so it has been a few
weeks since my last pregnancy Vlog and I
have to say quite a lot has changed
since then I went to Kansas for
Thanksgiving I got to tell my relatives
and extended family and I told Ben's
whole family that's a huge relief to
have a lot of more people close to us no
now we still won't be able to officially
announce for a couple weeks I'm keeping
my hopes up I'm not trying to be so
freaked out about like every single week
wondering oh am I going to miss carry am
I going to miss carry in terms of
morning sickness I really hadn't had
significant morning sickness in my last
Vlog but definitely weeks 8 9 and 10
mainly weeks 8 and n were the worst I
didn't puke still save for one pregnancy
pill like prenatal vitamin that got
stuck sideways in my throat and I
immediately just wretched it back up but
that doesn't really count cuz I wasn't
really like nauseous I've been getting
kind of like night sickness I'll have
nausea on and off throughout the day but
then when it comes to being nighttime I
just I just feel crappy so things that
have been helping my morning sickness
have been wearing SE bands and those are
the little ACU pressure bands I think I
mentioned it before and like I said I've
used those way before I even got
pregnant just cuz I would get motion
sickness and that would help me there
for some reason when I wear them it
helps relieve the gas a little bit I've
been Downing ginger ale like nobody's
business and I found that ginger candy
actually helps like so so so much so if
you're pregnant you're having lots of
morning sickness definitely try some
ginger candy a lot of times I have to
make sure I'm eating like every single
hour and just really being careful about
maintaining my blood sugar because that
seems to help quite a lot but at night
some nights I would just have really bad
insomnia because I was feeling so awful
can't get comfortable I've been having a
lot of like sinus congestion and I've
heard that's just because of like the
increase in fluids and the blood vessels
getting bigger everywhere in your whole
body so that's been a big problem also
when I was flying back from Kansas I did
catch a cold a couple of my relatives in
Kansas were sick and so I think I got it
from them even though I was like napping
as much as possible there's not really a
ton of medicine you can take so I came
back the first couple of nights I had a
really bad sore throat that just
basically turned into sinus congestion
I'm I'm sure you can still hear it a
little bit in my voice but it's starting
to get better I was really surprised
because I didn't know before I got
pregnant that fatigue from first
trimester was different than morning
sickness they are two completely
separate things you can be so freaking
tired and have no nausea you can have
nausea and not be tired or you know
what's most likely is that they're both
happening at the same time one really
strange thing is feeling full and hungry
and nauseous all at once because it's so
confusing for your body like what are
you supposed to do most likely the
fullness isn't from lots of food in your
stomach it's from like gas and bloating
and I know technically it's like too
early to like pop but I feel like I'm
showing we took some pictures around the
time of my last Vlog and today and in
the side by side you can tell I have a
little bit more of a tummy so that's
starting to grow but it's still not like
at the showing point I'm starting to
have more days now where I feel almost
normal which usually will only happen
for like 3 or 4 hours at a time if I try
to film oh my gosh I like totally need a
nap and I'm still having trouble being
like a productive normal working human
being so if you guys are working all the
time hats off to you cuz I know the
struggle it is so hard and I feel guilty
all the time I feel like I'm just always
behind on everything and that's a really
difficult thing is on top of the guilt
of like all the things you should and
shouldn't be doing as a pregnant person
oh you should be exercising I've kind of
given up on exercising in the first
trimester cuz like some days I can't
even imagine getting up to workout I
will take walks around the block with
Ben that helps a lot because my body
just feels like the joints kind of feel
like they've all loosened up and they're
like moving around and they just feel
Wiggly and weird and kind of like
stretched and sore so i' I've been
trying to do that like every day every
other day I know I should do that more
but there are honestly days where I have
a hard time eating been getting out of
bed I guess I can give you guys an
update on my stomach like I said I don't
think it's too big right now but there
is a little bit showing and right now I
am a little bit bloated so you'll
definitely be able to see a bump so
that's my stomach it's weird cuz I still
have some definition at the top but down
here it's definitely round from the side
again it's like still skinny up here but
then I have this Pooch and then the
crazy thing is down here if I push
down underneath where my stomach is it's
like hard and that's because of the
uterus growing there that is crazy I
mean it just kind of blows my mind oh
one last thing before I leave I wanted
to share with you guys I recently bought
an at home fetal doppler and what that
is is it's a little machine like just
the heartbeat part of an ultrasound now
a lot of people are like oh I don't want
one cuz I don't want to obsess over it I
don't want to like freak out about it
every day trying to find it and then if
I can't find it then it's really scary
for me I just think it's really neat so
I wanted to get one not because I was
overly worried but just because I think
it's really touching to hear the
heartbeat make sure everything's okay
and the first couple of times I sat down
for maybe 15 minutes each and I couldn't
find it and it was really frustrating
cuz I was like I have no idea where the
baby is right now I don't know how low
in the uterus you have to go to find it
I don't really know where my uterus is
other than like below my belly button I
tried it out and actually filmed my
second time trying it because I was so
excited after the first time it was like
really moving so okay so I at 10 weeks
one day and I just got this today in the
mail this is the sauna lime
B pocket fetal doppler so it's an at
home fetal doppler so you can hear the
heart beat if you do it the right
way it's like really really far down
there for
me
see can you hear it
that's the baby here it's like super
fast it is supposed to read on the doler
but I don't necessarily pay attention to
the numbers cuz it's not super accurate
and just to show you guys that it's not
my
heartbeat I'll try finding my actual
heartbeat
here it's pretty big difference right so
that's really exciting you guys got to
hear the heartbeat once in an Ultra
sound from my last video and then now
this time at home with me and it's just
such a crazy thing on the days I feel
better I'm like freaked out like oh is
it still in there is it still okay I'm
not sick so is everything okay but to
hear that it is just like really
comforting and really neat to know that
that's there so I guess that's it for
this update I love you guys thank you so
much for watching and coming on this
journey with me I hope you're enjoying
this as much as I feel like complaining
all the time I am enjoying seeing the
changes I don't mind my body getting
more like prgo belly and I don't really
mind the eating as much because I'm not
getting super nauseous from the food
itself so I know it could be worse I'm
sorry for you mamas out there that are
having it way worse only a couple weeks
until I can share it with you guys if
you want to check out my previous Vlogs
I will put them over here feel free to
click and watch the entire playlist for
all the rest of the videos from all the
other weeks and I will keep bringing you
