7 Month Update & Postpartum Belly! (Part 2)

[121810JJ]

I'm happy that you continued College and made it through! Keep it up

[geezilikecheez]

How did you get rid of your stretch marks?

[eyekandy7]

you look awesome and ive been watching all your videos for hrs haha.

Im currently pregnant with baby #2. my 1st pregnancy i delivered at 27wks. Im expected to go full term this pregnancy and was wondering what you used on your belly to help prevent strech marks?

[LittleMissClumbzie]

your stomach looks incredible...you dont look like you had a baby!

[Kabgirl24]

You look really good compared to alot of moms out there that dont really try to lose the belly postpartum. If you are belly conscious like I am then check out this website, bodyrock.tv, the workouts are really short and you can do them at home and they are really good for you. I am modifying them alittle to do them while pregnant but still using the same principles. Just thought you'd like to know although you look amazing

[mainstdancer08]

Do you regret getting pregnant with a guy who you are no longer dating?

[skylerdoodle1]

You look really nice for after having a baby

[NovemberRainLove]

Your belly button ring is so cute!

[jonasnjennlove]

you should probably still pump on a regular basis to keep up your supply, especially because you are on birth control now. She is getting so big and beautiful!

[h2ogurl1234]

I had my first one in 8th grade and my 2nd one in 9th grade so I'll probably have stretch marks 4ever

[ryann0sinclair]

You're looking great!!!

Trust me after I have this baby, I'll never look as small as you ;) 

[MissYoungMom]

Ok i did not stop bleeding for 3 months after I had my son Landon. 3 MONTHS!

[mommy062010]

how much do you weigh now? and what did you weigh pre-preg?

[Ashelllll]

@ kickedass123.... See if you can negotiate that rate, I asked my doc if I could being I just got laid off and most hospitals will if you can prove hardship n such... Good luck!!!

[vanderpantss]

3.0 in COLLEGE + a newborn, jessica that is AWESOME!

you should be so proud of yourself for going to college.

keep it up!

[TheLittlebrunette9]

i love your i <3 boobies bracelte, haha i have a white and pink one, haha i have it on right now, and 3.0 is awesome also :) your such a great mom and a full time college student so you should be proud! and ilove your belly button piercing, did it hurt? :)

[kickdass123]

@gabe: hey gabe did u do childbirth classes,my doc wants me to do ,but its

225$/couple expensive huh..,so i am planning to watch some good CB DVD and a maternity tour of d hospital tats free ..wat do u suggest..

[jessikughluff]

i have the same stupid skin there after i had my son:(

someone please figure out how we can get rid of that!

[Rileymac4]

Good to see you're dancing again. Go build up that muscle again, you'll feel so much better. And try doing a few sets of abs everyday, it would take less than 5 minutes, and doing it everyday is BOUND to have some effect. I do them everyday for track and I have some definition there, but trust me, I didn't when I started. haha

[iluvreborns585]

@GabeandJess

For the sippi cup problem Gerber has juices for babies like Lilia and they don't have a lot of sugar in them you can find them near the baby food and they are really cool too there like waterbottles but smaller and you can just pour it into her cup. They come in a couple flavor like apple juice and grap juice and they're made for babies so hoped I helped! I love you videos so much and your daughter is georgous so thx bye

[MidwestBeautyxo]

Congrats on the 3.0 that is impressive for someone who just had a baby. You look like you haven't had a baby.

[monmonzz]

i'm so jealous! ur so pretty!!! my baby is 4 months old and i still have 6 kgs baby fat and look like a whale =(

[taurusborn87]

Wow you don't even look like you were pregnant! lol You look amazing :)

[sunnysmom31710]

I'm not sure if it works the same, or similarly, but after my miscarriage I had heavy periods for probably 4 or 5 months, then they went back to normal.

[cutecutecuteist]

wow you are looking incredible! Your body is like, perfect! I hope the BC helps with the bleeding. I love your videos so much xxx

[oswestryGIRL]

my periods come every 2-4weeks but il have odd days where i will have a little but i have had a proper period and my son is 3months old nearly and he is bottle fed, he does sleep through the night has done since about 2weeks old :D im on the implant and that doesnt help half as much as the pill did with my periods :/ xx and try water although the health visiter (she weighs the baby in the UK) sais try that in between feeds but he will not take the water at all and spits it out but worth a go :D

[iluvreborns585]

Lillia is beautiful

[19Alexandrea]

Lilia is soo cute!

3.0 GPA is great, Jessica!

What I suggest for the sippy cup problem is a little bit of baby juice, and put lots of water in it. That way, they get the juice flavor, but it is mostly water.

Did getting your belly button pierced hurt?

[Shuggstah]

Look at her! She's getting so big. =) 3.0 GPA is still good considering you have Lilia to look after. Things will change but you being there for her wont. ;) By the way I had mine done too for my birthday last year, It wasn't working out for me for the first try I guess. I'm actually reconsidering doing it again. =)

[karenmvinson11]

if u do put juice in her cup and duliute it is good to clear them out if they are consiipated like apple juice or grape juice

[ReillyAJ]

really in my family our periods are awful until we have babies! weird huh. hope the bc helps with the bleeding, that is terrible! yay for your good grades! whats the highest you can get? you look great silly!

[M0mmys3girls]

I have been breastfeeding my daughter for 5 months now and i am ready to start pumping and giving her a bottle. However she refuses to take it she kinda chews on the nipple and plays with it. She dosent take a pacifier either. How did you get Lilia to take a bottle also what brand did you use? I tried those breastflow ones and they didnt work. Thanks for you help!

[vee0518]

Oh & I recommend the NUK learner sippy cup. It has really easy handles for them to hold on to :) My daughter loves it!

[xpoeticxtragedyx]

breastfeeding doesn't help keep my period away :( so unfair lol.

[coleeeeeexx]

did you get pregnant while on the pill?

[kyandwhit609]

you guys are sooo great! :] what kind of birth control are you on? and did you get pregnant by like missing a pill for a day or did the birth control just not work? just wondering, because i just got on the pill. thanks!

[IzzySparkzsS]

I thought a lot birth control's had a negative effect on breast fedding :S

[LexxieR]

You should go on the mini pill! I was on it for 3 year prior to my son with no period. I came off it and got pregnant straight away. I am back on it, breastfeeding is safe. No weight gain, menstrual cramps or periods. I am on one called Norimin 28 day. I have been on many birth controls and this would by far be the best! I would highly recommend it x

[bellabeeee]

:O Ohhh nooo I do not look forward to AF coming back now :/ My son is 4 months now hopefully I'm lucky and don't get it back till we completely wean!

[wafflecake98]

How come u were on birth control at 14?

[brandi384]

my first period came back at 5 and a half weeks! the post partum bleeding stopped at 3.5 weeks for me. and I exclusively breastfed! my situation was very unusual! I agree you bleed more! before I could go to a pool during mine but not after a baby! 4 months post partum I was pregnant again so of course periods stopped again. interested to see what happens with it after this baby!

[ChelleNjoey32408]

Your tummy looks so good<333 (:

[sabrinafuentes901]

Even taking the birth control are you still breastfeeding? is it safe?? just wondering and how do you take the pill do you have to take it everday at the same time? or is it okay just as long as you take it everyday?? thanks jess your awesome! :)

[ChelleNjoey32408]

Your lucky you just now got it ive had it since Rylen was 1 month!

[azalea7593]

where you in pill when got pregnant?^^

auch I know pill in not 100% but is it really possible after 3 years of birthcontrol to get pregnant?

[SEXYRIKA8922]

what kind of bc are on?

[debosbambam]

what type of dance do you do ..you mentioned you where a dancer?

[xolyssa09xo]

im tryin to get rid of my extra tummy skin too def hate it ehh i hope it eventually goes away & the stretchmarks fade but will see if not we can just rock the baby marksss lol <3

[juicyvids]

your a dancer....so u should know tht ab workouts will help...do them for a couple of months and u shld probaly get ur stomach to the way it was before

[leofire31]

Seriously you shouldn't complain about your tummy at all! It really makes women like myself (who aren't so blessed with a nice flat tummy after having a baby) feel bad and insecure for having way more tummy pudge and stretch marks than you. You are lucky and should not be complaining.

[DevinandErica]

Gratz on your grades for going through it with a child. Erica's GPA suffered when Olivia was born, but she's still plugging away. I think she could say she knows how you feel. =)

[jsmith476]

My daughter is 5m and I am EBF. Right after I stopped bleeding from birth, a few days later I got my period. It's been regular and the same as before. 

[venomousstrawberry]

Have you tried herbs or herbal tea to slow down/control the bleeding? Both my Mum and my aunt drank a lot of herbal tea postpartum and it helped very much. But, of course, not all herbs are good when you're breastfeeding, so maybe you should look into that/try it out. Just sayin'. =)

[VPalsky]

Are you on the mini pill or the regular pill? Only wondering because if you are on the regular pill it could really interfere with your breastfeeding to the point of completely drying up all your milk. Just wanted to make sure :-)

[SimplementeMaravilla]

@VPalsky completely agree. 

[magoosdancer29]

you want to have anymore kids later on?

[hopefaithjoy13]

Jess,

Your boobs look so much smaller! I remember after you had Lilia, they got a lot bigger and you said so yourself. Did they shrink a lot? Or is it just the sports bra that is making it look that way? Thanks, and God Bless! :)

[taylorswiftfan01]

i had the same type of period! its sooo gross i hate it so much!!!  and before i had Evan, my periods were not heavy AT ALL!!

[sarahnfamily]

Girl id only wish to look like u after pregnancy this is what i looked like before i got pregnant

[Lexielovesutube]

you belly looks fine you shouldn't feel insecure at all;)

[xoxonataliexoxo13]

Lilia is getting so big like seriously she is the cutest thing ever !!

[MummyLELE]

i breast fed all my kids! got my period at 4wks first baby 6wks second 7wks 3rd and my period was so much better after my kids less pain. only ur first period will be really heavy has been with all of mine when i first got it back then it was back to normal :) good luck

[mfoiles7]

are you taking the mini pill for breastfeeding moms?

[TheStardollMedolls]

Good job on the grades! What are you studying in college? 

[desiratay]

Are you Interested in writing a homepage /Blog On Motherhood with me? I am looking for one mother on ever continent or so, all with different backgrounds. That is more interesting than if I do it alone :-)

[GabriellaST]

YAYYYYYYY!!!! your dancing again! can u show us some of your dance? whould love to see it! ohh and lilia is toooooo cute by the way! hehe! :D <3 x

[XOXOhollymarieXOXO]

A little suggestion that might help with your period is a menstrual cup. The Diva Cup is one that's sold in the US and holds more fluid than tampons and pads. They have two sizes, size 1 for prechildbirth and size 2 for postchildbirth. I don't know if you've heard of them before but most people haven't so maybe that will help :)

[rachyriottt]

@XOXOhollymarieXOXO menstrual cups are the best :)

[fcossell]

i got my af back at 6 weeks even though i was breastfeeding. the first one was just as you explained. really heavy and i couldnt go anywhere. ive had 2 more since then and they are a lot better now. i think that first one just is crazy. you look great hun!

[underscorex5]

3.0! I had a high average pre-uni. too and my mum warned me that it's common to drop down a WHOLE letter grade in your first semester (adjusting and all). That you've been caring for Lilia, taking full-time classes *and* have achieved a 3.0 is a HUGE accomplishment. Congratulations!

[soposthardcore]

Midol is a life saver for me! My dad swears by it as well, he uses it for headaches. haha

[BadAssLs]

do u know anywhere i can get cheap baby things? im 7months and still need a crib and car seat/stroller. and i dont want to pay the high prices lol

[31490ashley]

@BadAssLs im the same. seriously, the two best ways are amazon.com and look around on the internet for baby and momommy markets, they have them here in germany, and there just like big yard sales i guess where people come to sell their old stuff- good luck ;)

[BadAssLs]

@31490ashley i havent thought about amazon.com! thats a good idea! thank you, and good luck to you too!

[EmBryWolf]

i wish i was as skinny as you! i was given steroids as a baby becasue i was underdeveloped so im 14 and weigh 110 kilos..it SUCKS!

[Anne1132]

you are so skinny ! you´re skinnyer than me and you had a baby !

[NovemberRainLove]

Pudge?? What.  Honey, you have a very desirable body type :D

[americanidolbabe3]

BEST thing for cramps is Aleve. It will help so much! You have done so well with everything! Congrats!

[dya76tube]

Your black & white cat sleepy on the table how long you make this video:)))

Your belly looks good,you are a awesome mother:)))

[AmyLizz]

You're such a wonderful mommy AND student! :) I'm so nervous to get my first post partum period! Almost 17 months pp and still nothing. I keep hearing how bad it is though!

[GabeandJesss]

@AmyLizz Wow 17 months? You are one lucky girl!!

[TheKiwiMummy]

I haven't had a period yet with my nearly 8mo. I really hope its not bad!

[GabeandJesss]

@TheKiwiMummy That's completely normal! Some people get it earlier than others.

[MakeupByUna]

wow! 3.0 GPA AND A MOM... you should definetly be VERY proud of yourself.

[Wo87pooh]

im actually glad you mentioned the period part because i was wondering about it. Im due in abut 2 weeks and I was curious about the period and breast feeding.

[MyChangeThruRunning]

Agreed!! They are worse!! haha but you bring comic relief :-) haha

[ashleyanfamily]

I love your videos

[samiNtyler]

Nice bracelet(I hearts boobies)lol made me laugh!but great job she's gorgeous!you are skinny and I love the piercing!!my son is four months old and I exclusively breastfeed and haven't gotten my period yet so yeah I hope I don't get it until a while like you!don't keep us waiting too long:)

[jmorrow1231]

hi jess you are such an inpiration for teen moms who think just because your a teen mom i doesnt mean that you cant go to school. It may be a little bit hard but life is full of challenges and if it wasnt it wouldnt be called LIFE .

[GabeandJesss]

@jmorrow1231 I completely agree! Thank you! =)

[Wo87pooh]

@GabeandJesss how long can you keep your pumped milk for if you freeze it?

[GabeandJesss]

@Wo87pooh I've heard different answers from different sources. Some say it's okay for up 6 months in a freezer but I never use the milk past 3 months and only 2-3 days in a fridge.

[alyssabeezy2]

Love the piercing!!

[alexbobby63]

Jess you and Lila both look great! Your such a great momma! and congrats on your grades 3.0 is definitely something to be proud of!
