14 Week Pregnancy Update! and Belly Shot

Hi lovelies! It's Rachel and today I'm here to do my 14th week pregnancy update. At midnight I turned 15 weeks but it's okay I'm a little late, I'm a little late but everything is still fresh in my mind. My hair is looking crazy, it's air drying so don't mind that and the background looks a hot mess. I'm deep cleaning today so I did laundry that's why it's looking crazy. Also I'm trying to speak low because my roommates are out there, I don't want them hearing me that's awkward and also I have class pretty soon so I need to speed up talking. Anyways 14 weeks, what's been going on? So in the 14th week like always I've been having headaches just about every single day. There was one particular day where I actually experienced a migraine and it lasted for hours, I mean hours from I want to say like 5 something until the next day 8 o'clock and it was intense. What I found to really help me is I put Bengay and a little bit of Vicks on my forehead, I just laid down, drank water and it really made me feel a little better. Didn't take away the headache but just that cooling feeling made me feel a lot better so yes I'm trying to keep it natural as far as my pregnancy goes. I don't want to take any medication so I've just been doing that and it's been working. I haven't had a headache today so knock on wood I don't want one. Also this week I had my first real craving which led to me throwing up this week but it's okay. So I woke up in the morning really really wanting pizza you guys. The pizza craving was intense like I really wanted pizza and so you know what I did? I went out and got some pizza at 11.15am. I got pizza you guys and I not only got just a simple pizza like a cheese or some pepperoni, no I went out a lot. I got extra cheese, extra pepperoni, extra sauce and then I got some meatballs on top and it made me so sick you guys and I threw everything up and you know it was disgusting and I hated it but at the same time it confirmed that I was still pregnant so it made me feel a little better mentally just because I've been freaked out about losing the baby. I don't know why. I heard it's natural and normal so I've been trying to think positive like everything's going to be fine but I'm not going to lie I'm just extra paranoid all the goddamn time. This week I've also been feeling like random twitches in my belly and like abdominal pains just randomly throughout the day. Not for long periods of time, actually for like seconds and then it'll stop. I heard it's natural, it's usually your belly and your uterus expanding so you know it's just like it'll just happen randomly and then also I was doing number 2 and I know TMI, I actually experienced really bad like pain in my like my left side, my, it felt like kind of in my ribby area once it was coming out and again I heard that's natural but it sucks. I'm like ah it's so painful and I also have been experiencing slight constipation as well which is so unusual for me. I never am constipated and now all of a sudden it's like a freaking job. So that's something that I dealt with in the 14th week. I also think I felt the baby move. I'm 99% sure that I did so I'm going to go with it because it was the best feeling ever. So I did some research and I googled you know when's the earliest you can feel the baby kick and move and I saw 13 weeks. Usually you feel the baby move at 13 weeks if you've been pregnant before because you kind of know what each twitch is and you can kind of distinguish it I guess and so you know when I was 13 weeks pregnant I was shaking my belly like seeing if I could feel something. I didn't. Come 14 weeks and I'm laying on my back and on Instagram and everything and for a brief moment I mean like it was so quick you guys. I felt like pop up like I don't know how to describe it. I felt like a popcorn bubbly feeling I guess is the best way to describe it. It was like I don't know how to describe it but it was just amazing and I always imagined that it would feel like that you know. So I'm pretty sure that's what it was. I'm so excited. Next week I'll be 16 weeks and they say that's when you start to feel it. Well 16 up to 20 or 25 weeks. So hopefully I feel it early on because this is my you know first pregnancy so I don't know. I may feel it on a later spectrum but hopefully I feel it next week because I cannot wait. So yeah that's pretty much what's been occurring with me as far as 14 weeks pregnant goes. Like I said this week has just been the week of me feeling like twitches and like random belly aches and stuff like that. I know it's normal so I'm not going to freak out too much about it but other than that that has been it for that week. Like I said nothing too intense which is really good. I did make myself throw up but that's just because I was crazy and I ate oily food and I also wanted to mention that the 14th week was the first week I decided to eat healthier. I've been eating a lot of fried and oily foods just because that's what I've been desiring to eat the most and I love spicy food. Like this pregnancy has been me eating nothing but spicy food but I have tried to slim it down. I actually just ate some celery sticks and stuff before this video as a snack just to eat a little cleaner and better. I don't want to consume myself with nothing but like you know fatty food. So I'm going to go on and show you the belly and then I'll talk to you guys a little bit about the baby really fast before I head off to class. So this is the front, here's the side, and then the other side. So okay so that's what my belly, ow I just hit myself and scratched myself. Okay so that's what the belly is looking like and then also while I'm pulling up my pregnancy app to tell you a little bit about the baby. I did want to mention that this week I also started really applying that stretch mark cream that I was telling you guys about earlier. That's just because my belly started to itch recently so excuse me so I've definitely been doing that. Okay so it says your baby's legs are finally longer than it's arms. Wait no wait you guys I'm sorry that was the 15th week let me go into the 14th week. Okay so for 14 weeks it says your baby can make all sorts of facial expressions and then it says your baby's eyes can sense light even though it's eyelids will still be fused for a few more months. Then it says your baby's liver and pancreas have begun producing fluids putting it even closer to being able to sustain itself so that's really really interesting. Then also you guys I forgot to mention I've been experiencing like forgetfulness or pregnancy brain I know people call it and I kind of like link that to being a myth to be quite honest with you but I really believe that it's true. I've never been so forgetful in my entire life you guys I've never been so forgetful. I actually went out yesterday and bought a planner because I can't even keep track of anything anymore between doctor's appointments, my clinicals, classes, homework assignments, exams I cannot remember crap. So I've been writing every little thing down in my planner and that has been a really big help for me. Also I've been short of breath a little bit not too much but sometimes I'll get out of breath if I'm walking for too long or something so I've been trying to exercise a lot by just walking a lot at school and just trying to get that exercise in and then lastly I've kind of learned how to contain my frequent urination. I had it in the 14th week definitely but I realized that I was drinking a lot of water. I was drinking like 6-8 bottles a day so what I've learned to do is I'll drink a lot of water through the day and then at like 7-8 I kind of cut all drinks down and I'll take sips instead of like full bottles and then in the middle of the night I've been sleeping better so that is perfect because I do not get up in the middle of the night anymore I sleep through. So that is pretty much everything you guys I'm sorry if I spoke really fast I actually got to get ready to go to class I have a test today you know how that is so I'll talk to you guys in my next pregnancy video and also I meant to tell you guys see I'm forgetting already I filmed a day in the life of a pregnant college student that's going to be on my main channel so if you want the link to my main channel I'll leave it down below so anyways that's what I wanted to tell you guys and I'll see you next time bye!
