Hey guys!! I cannot even believe this is a video that I am able to film, today is a Q&A about finally getting pregnant after YEARS of infertility!!! I am going to answer all of your frequently asked questions, and I will timestamp them as well below in case you want to skip around.
I sort of answer things here and there throughout, discuss my symptoms, how i’ve been feeling mentally, coming to terms with never being a mother and then having to come to terms with the fact that I AM going to be a mom. This has been an absolute emotional rollercoaster, and getting to the point where I can even begin to accept that I am going to have a baby.. we are going to be parents.. is the hardest thing I can explain. I KNEW in my heart and soul I would NEVER get pregnant, so this is a shock to say the absolute least.
I know when I am speaking about this, shock is the main emotion I convey – But DO KNOW that we are SO SO SO unbelievably happy, elated & SO excited. I think when we can FINALLY see that the baby is growing, happy and healthy (at the 20 week ultrasound) I will be able to be FULLY relaxed and be able to accept that this is FULLY HAPPENING. Right now, I still have a LOT of anxiety about my body failing me and causing problems for the baby, so every time I see or hear the baby, its like music to my ears!
I have such bad health related anxiety, that I was SO certain something might go wrong. Before the first ultrasound, I was certain it would either be ectopic or no heartbeat – I was wrong. Before we heard the heartbeat, I was certain they wouldn’t find it – they did. When they did the genetic testing to see if I was a carrier of something that could be passed on to the baby, I was SURE I would be – and I wasn’t. My anxiety stops me from fully enjoying anything, because of the fear of the unknown – but I am now trying to FULLY allow myself to enjoy and embrace this pregnancy, and that is an unbelievable and amazing feeling.
I am 16 weeks pregnant *my weeks turn over on Saturdays, the day I filmed this video*

omg CONGRATS!!! i literally almost cried like 5 times!! y'all are going to be such good parents. ily!
KETO helped you get pregnant. I know people love to hate on keto but it does help people get pregnant. My cousin was infertile for 7 years and failed Ivfs and did keto for a few months and she got pregnant. Sister same thing- not infertile but struggles to get pregnant and did keto and got pregnant.
Congratulations!!!!!!!! So happy for you
I'm so happy for you, I'm crying so hard 😭😭🤍 you're going to be the best mommy ✨
A lot of my friends had kids before me and I had major baby fever so my husband told me for a whole year "Maybe if you're good Santa will give you a baby for Christmas" and then I found out I was pregnant at midnight Christmas day ❤
So happy for you Kristi!! This is so interesting, o just finished my nursing course on childbearing mom/baby nursing and this all was so familiar and interesting to hear! I’m wishing you and baby the best health and hopefully these following weeks will be easier on you!!
Ok she said that they did the deed on 10th of March, she took the pregnancy test on 29th of March (or the 28th doesn’t really matter) and then she said that when she found out she was pregnant, she was already 4weeks 19days is 2 weeks 5days…I have no idea why I’m doing all that math at 1am so I could be wrong..I guess…I don’t know but I am happy for her..she’s gonna be a mom 🥺🥺
My mom was RH negative and I had to have a full blood transfusion at birth but everything was fine so don’t let that get you down!!
Urghhh !!!!!
This video is so inspirational, I have PCOS too, congratulations
I knew I was pregnant if chicken revolted me and made me sick the smell touch and taste made me severly sick and both times I was pregnant with a girl xx
You should also go to a Ob/Gyn
As far as the dizziness and exhaustion that was the exact same for me. I WILL say, TAKE CARE OF YOUR DENTAL AND VISUAL HEALTH DURING THIS TIME!!! I never knew that both could actually become so bad that it can lead to permanent vision changes and horribly unhealthy teeth. Both which I’m still dealing with 5 years later. 🤦🏻♀️❤️🤦🏻♀️ the nasal congestion NEVER stopped. I was depressed for a very long time during, my emotions were INSANE! I mean, I needed to be seeing a therapist, for sure! That depression you described sounds EXACTLY like what I felt. I just had NO Will for ANYTHING except sleep. Showering, eating, moving from the spot I started my day at, was not possible. I never cried during, I felt almost soulless but also incredibly enlightened. Which was very bizarre to go through The gut issues, like not being able to use the bathroom. Oh boy.
2nd attempt IVF baby here with my twin! So happy for you and it must of been very hard for you! So so SO incredibly happy for you both ❤️
No highlighter needed…your glowing! So fuk’ng over the moon for you. Well done 💖
