What They DON'T Tell You: Pregnancy Realities from 1st Trimester to Birth

In this video about what to expect in pregnancy, I’m sharing my journey through my 1st vs 2nd pregnancy, covering everything from a heightened sense of smell and pet aversion to nausea in the first trimester before the placenta is fully established. We also dive into third trimester struggles like frequent peeing, managing hemorrhoids in pregnancy with Preparation H ointment and wipes, using Pepcid Cool Mint for heartburn, and staying flexible when your birth plan changes.

Being currently pregnant for the second time has taught me that no two journeys are the same! In this 20-minute deep dive, I’m getting real about the "hard times"—the physical exhaustion, the bathroom trips every five minutes, and the mental shift required when your birth plan doesn't go as expected. Whether you're a first-time mom or a seasoned pro, let's talk about the symptoms and surprises no one warns you about.
