19/20 Week Pregnancy Update. Baby # 2

Hey guys! It's Rachel and today I'm here to do my pregnancy update. I'm 20 weeks and 2 days but I'm going to go back and do the 19th and 20th week. So usually I like to kind of let the week pass and then I'll do the update that way I can kind of know exactly what's going on with me but honestly symptoms have been super consistent so I'm just going to combine the both. But I will say for the 19th week a lot of new things has occurred so let's just go ahead and get started. Oh and also again I know I say this in every video I apologize about the background noise but so 19th week I had a new symptom and that was dizzy spells. I think I mentioned it in my recent video that I was having them and at first I wasn't too nervous about them because I had them with Troy here and there not too much like this time around but I did experience it so I wasn't too freaked out but there was a particular time where it stood out to me the most. The dizzy spell did not go away for quite some time so I ended up telling my midwife she wanted me to come in to kind of pinpoint what exactly was causing me to have them so often and I ended up not going to my appointment because Troy had to end up going to an emergency appointment himself. So I have a new appointment for her scheduled on Tuesday I'll update you guys on what's going on with that if I don't film so I'm really excited to see if we can go ahead and fix that up because I hate being dizzy. Something else that's occurred with me is a lot of physical changes so you guys are used to me saying that I have nipple pain and a discharge I'm still going through that but my breasts have enlarged my nipples have also enlarged and they got darker so TMI I know but I'm just saying my belly button has popped out and I developed nothing but stretch marks on my stomach. Now with Troy I didn't have stretch marks at all until the very end I believe and then it went away after I gave birth at least on my stomach and now they just all popped out out of nowhere it is insane so I have them all over and you know I try not to get insecure about it because it is part of life part of pregnancy part of being a girl but I don't know it's starting to like really really affect me a little bit so I think I'm going to look into getting some pregnancy stretch mark cream because what I've been using lately hasn't been working so I think I'm going to look into something else also I have stretch marks on my hips and they got darker they used to be light and now they're like pitch brown so I know you guys were thinking I was going to say pitch black but no they're pitch brown they're super dark and I don't know what's going on with my body and the stretch marks but they're just they're all over the place so that's what happened within the 19th week physically emotionally a lot has happened as well I've cried I think about every single day and it just hit me how emotional how emotional I am so yeah for the 19th week you guys honestly I think EJ called me crazy like 10 times now beforehand I was not emotional I was very calm same as I always am doing what I always do best just you know taking care of Troy have my little routines going on didn't really stress about a lot and the 19th week it was just complete flip I am stressed all the time overwhelmed I cry over a lot of things so it's been really rough for me the 19th week it was really really rough now the 20th week has been a little bit better I did get an anatomy scan done so that made me super excited because I couldn't wait to see her I was a little nervous I'm not going to lie because I did have some negative thoughts I think I mentioned in one of my videos as well but I was having negative thoughts that something could go wrong could go wrong so I really wanted to see her and hear her heartbeat and just reassure myself that everything was okay and it was now I will say though with the anatomy scan I had with Troy it did not feel as long as this time around and my ultrasound tech was telling me that they added a lot of new requirements for the techs to do certain pictures so usually you know you have to take pictures of the spine literally everything with an anatomy scan and now she's saying that they have to do like every single angle of everything that they're looking at so it took about 40 minutes to get every single picture that she needed after about 10 minutes you guys I was over it my back was starting to hurt so I was laying flat and it was a mess but I got a lot of good pictures so I can't wait to show you guys she was moving a lot so she's a little mover like Troy Troy and she's 13 ounces so she's almost a pound you guys she's almost a pound and it seems so small you know like she seems so she is small but it just it's it's so real like she's almost a pound but yeah I feel like this pregnancy overall it's gone by super slow I'm ready to be full term I'm ready to be big I'm just ready for it I'm excited for it and I think it's just taking so long but at least I'm finally halfway through my pregnancy mark so hopefully it kind of speeds up from here but um yeah so that what that happened with anatomy scan I was healthy everything was good so that's really really exciting I'm sorry I'm drinking tea it's my replacement of coffee you guys I love tea um so what else has happened the 20th week I developed heartburn I had it really really really bad yesterday aside from the heartburn though I still have the same symptoms that I just mentioned I'm still emotional still overwhelmed I'm going through actually a lot of stress and then um you know on top of being pregnant and hormonal I'm really really trying to just calm myself down and go for walks more often and work out more often and just get my head in a better space because I don't want to have my little girl affected you know so I'm really trying to be better in general overall with health and taking my prenatals and I've been doing really good so I am proud of myself and I think that is all that I wanted to tell you guys now my belly I'm not I mean it's not that I'm not excited about my belly but it's so different than with Troy I feel like with Troy it was so perfectly round and this time around it's just so like odd shapes I don't know how to describe it it's just so different it's crazy how you know different pregnancies different you know looks and things but um I'm gonna go ahead and show you guys my belly and hopefully I can try to find a good setup to show you guys because there's not really much places to show the camera so I hope I can get you guys at a good angle so here's my belly from the side these are the stretch marks I was telling you guys about I have them everywhere and then from the front and then from the side so you see a more like this way with Troy was a little more up I feel but yeah so that is my belly okay guys so that was everything for this video I know I was chipping over my words a lot I do apologize for that pregnancy brain and just so much on my mind that I don't even know what I'm saying half the time but I hope you all enjoyed this video let me know down below what you've used for stretch marks when you were pregnant if you use stretch if you ever use stretch mark cream people said to use cocoa butter and I've tried that before it never works so I don't even know if I really want to try it again and yeah that's pretty much that you guys and until next time I'll see you later I said and a lot but I'll see you guys in the next video bye I forgot to mention one more thing it was the ultrasound pictures that I had and I really wanted to show you guys so let me try to hopefully I can zoom in a little better okay so this is her profile picture and as you can see her hand is touching her head but that was so cute that's my favorite these are her little feet I'm sorry about the glare but those are her little feet and then her little face her little head and this is what is this one I think this is her is it her leg oh no this is the one oh this is her privates oh my goodness this is her private saying that it's a girl saying that she's a girl so um those are all of my pictures I did get one more but I ended up giving it to my mom so I'm gonna put one of these on the fridge I just love getting these pictures so I can't wait to compare between her and Troy but anyways you guys that was that and what's more I hope you enjoyed this video and until next time I'll see you in the next one bye
