Getting Fat Shamed While Pregnant, Father's Day Celebration & I Need More Advice...

Hello friends, what's up?My parents are here.I was literally just about to tell you guys that.I'm gonna have coffee.You might have to teach me. I know, I clogged the sink, so my dad has to unclog it.And today for fruit, we got some pomegranates and yellow kiwis.

Yellow kiwis.Kiwis are good.I heard for pregnancy.I got from like a pack of four or five.Come on.

I don't mind whatever I'm doing it.Now it's like this.

I do it too.I do guys.I do.Papa, they're tag teaming me.It's not.

Just relax.

Cheddar no.I got a package.in the mail from Komotomo.They saw one of my videos and they wanted to send the newer versions of some bottles that they have.So they all have like the sizes, three plus months, zero to three months.These are the ones that I actually got myself.

And then they have three plus months.They also have like a silicone teether.They sent a lot of stuff.This is glass containers, I guess for milk and stuff for storage.That's nice.And then this is like a tumbler.

Yeah, I still have to get the baby dishwasher thing.Sterilize all these.Well, actually three plus month, I'll put down here.And then the newborn ones I'll put up here, that way I know.And then jars, teether, zero to three months, three plus.What else?

These are for preemie and more teethers.Cute.Some cupcakes because if you guys remember I made the funfetti cake and ever since then they taste so good.So I'm gonna make some cupcakes.Third cup of oil.Three fourths of a cup of water.

Three eggs.Mix it.I've been doing so bad with my tea.Well, not that bad actually, but I need to make sure I'm taking it.So let's do it.The tea, I think it's about two cups.

I should measure, but, and then I also have to start getting like, this says it's a hundred percent pineapple juice, but it's not.So I need to start like getting a hundred percent juices because the whole point is for it to help and it won't help unless it's a hundred percent that juice.Cranberry juice.I don't know, I'll have to find it somehow.That is cool.Alright, we're at the grocery store.

I'm gonna put on a hat because I had on a headband, but I feel like this hat will make me look a little more put together.Rosario and I got matching ones.Not pink, but like the same one, different colors.Okay, we are going to the grocery store.I got a halal rotisserie chicken the other day, I don't know if I told you guys this, from 14 -O's and it was surprisingly pretty good.It wasn't like, wow, seasoned out of this world, but I actually really enjoyed it.

So I want to get two more because I'm going to shred one and freeze it and keep it in my fridge.That way, if I ever want, like I need protein for something,I have it And then I want to make chicken wraps also today.So I always I have like a whole like list on tiktok For recipes, but I don't think i've saved anything new.So we're gonna go in there.We're gonna browse and get just anything we need Guys, I don't know how the baby is supposed to get any bigger than this.

I feel like he's already so big Like you only notice it when I show like a side profile.Apparently he's still got to grow like three to four more pounds.So I don't know where it's gonna go, but I guess I have no choice.I'm going to put some oil in my hair.Oh, I'm about to get really out of breath.Hold on.

We had some of our new furniture come and we've actually been sleeping in this guest room because we moved our old furniture to this room because it's going to be used as the guest room.And now furniture still it got built but after the bed got built we realized that it's too small so our bedroom is like empty right now so we need we need likeking bed because Masoud is like six foot two.Like he's a big guy.And then I like to have my space.And especially with a pregnancy pillow, like I need a lot of space.

And even in general, we just need space.And then you add a baby into the mix.It's just gonna, we can't keep this smaller size.I think this is, they sent like a queen or something.So anyways, now we gotta wait like another, I want to say two weeks.So it's going to take us to July.

Okay.And I'm really hoping that the baby stays put until then, just cause like, I want to be able to have a proper bedroom.You get what I'm saying?Before he arrives.So I'm going to put some oil in my hair.I have to find, I have, I had like a whole box of the oil.

that I used to make for my hair and ever since we moved I can't find it so I'm assuming it's in the basement but I'm gonna put this coconut miracle oil in the ends of my hair I have been using like the Abbey Young method or whatever I got like a lot of the shampoos and all that from her I got Dove I'm gonna maybe try some new ones but if you guys have anything from the Abbey Young method that like you feel like really helped let me know because I do like how healthy my hair has become but I also do know that postpartum is about to make a lot of my hair fall out because so normally like before I got pregnant in the shower whenever I showered like a lot of my hair would come out not in like huge chunks thatI would be scared of but you know like strands come out and then ever since I've been pregnant no matter how much I pull on my hair nothing there's no strands ever that come out not even in the shower I heard of that being a thing I just didn't think it would be so serious like there would actually be no hairs coming out so I know some of that has to shed once i give birth you know i really thought pregnancy would be the one time in my life i wouldn't have to worry about comments on my body but unfortunately no before i got pregnant i was lifting boxing running walking doing everything basically someone you would call with a fit lifestyle i actually started my career online as a fitness person believe it or not And I think a lot of people they just assume if you're fit before pregnancy or during your pregnancy, you're gonna have this tiny body and it's not gonna be noticeable and you're just gonna be fit the whole time.I'm here to tell you that is completely wrong.I just got a comment like a day ago of a girl saying like, I'm so confused.Are you having any other medical issues?Because you were so fit before pregnancy and you've worked out for so many years of your life, yet you've gained so much weight in this pregnancy.

As if asking if I have another condition is going to make this comment any better.Working out can help you feel stronger, give you better stamina, your mobility is nice, it's good for your mental health, but there's nothing you can do to avoid how your body is going to react when it's pregnant.So yeah, although I do have gestational diabetes, that means I am having some health problems during this pregnancy that could be causing inflammation and weight gain, but that doesn't mean that I was going to be immune to all of this if I didn't get it.You cannot outwork hormones, you cannot outwork fluid retention, you can't outwork the increase in blood volume, can't outwork your uterus growing your baby, your placenta that's releasing whatever hormones that it wants, you can't out train how your body decides to store fat, and you can't out train anemia, gestational diabetes, preeclampsia and every other thing that can come with pregnancy.Somebody that's been working out and been like weight conscious my whole life, I was actually really excited to be pregnant and not have to worry about how I look in terms of weight gain.Unfortunately, I did get gestational diabetes so I'm not allowed to eat anything I want and trust me it is miserable because you're pregnant and you can't have a lot of your cravings.

And guess what?Regardless, I still gained so much weight.That's just how the body works.It's not that I failed in my fitness journey.I'm literally growing a human.And the last thing on my mind is how much weight I've gained, how puffy I looked, and genuinely from other women, I hate seeing these comments.

Like, I probably see two or three of these a day commenting on, you seem to gain a lot of weight during your pregnancy.And then the cherry on top is like, are you okay are you doing fine it's like well is anyone doing fine while they're pregnant no because the truth is pregnancy will humble you and not everybody gets a cute one my sister -in -law she was so cute when she was pregnant you could barely even tell that she was pregnant until she turned to the side but that just i knew that wasn't going to be my journey i just know my body and i knew that it was not going to be possible for me to stay super fit and thin while i'm pregnant So let's just please stop worrying about how much weight we're going to gain while we're pregnant, plus all the health issues, plus having a healthy baby.The only thing I want is a healthy baby.I am not worried about the weight or anything else until after I give birth.And to be honest, if your concern is to figure out a way to stay fit and snatched while you're pregnant, my suggestion would be just maybe not to get pregnant right now because you will be very disappointed.on what happened.

I have gained almost 45 pounds in this pregnancy.Yes, I am super inflamed.I'm also about to give birth anytime.At this point, it can be anytime.I'll be back after I have my baby.And just because I'm not tiny like all the other influencer moms, I don't care.

I really don't care.I'm just trying to survive every single day until I give birth.That was the rant of the week.We will now go back to happy content.I'm getting ready to go out with my friends.We're gonna go out for dinner.

Last few weeks of pregnancy I just think maybe I'll do something to look cute, you know.I have those H &M jeans, which we will style today.Like, I expect these weird, stupid comments from men, but whenever I see it from women, it just triggers me, and I'm like, you should know better.You should know better to leave such a stupid, hateful, weird comment.Let me live.I'm literally growing another human.

Yes, I understand.I used to be fit.Used to be fit, whatever that means, nine months ago.i'm still working out every single day i'm doing the best i can i'll be back i've been doing this since i was 19 years old i'm actually not worried about my comeback at all i'm actually excited for it but like until thenjust like DMs about you seem to have gained so much weight during this pregnancy but you were so fit before and like how did you let this happen and blah blah blah it's like I don't know could be because I'm diabetic could be because I'm growing a baby a big one too could be Many things normally I don't let it get to me But today I saw like two or three comments like that and I was like are you guys being serious right now?Like do you want me to be a Victoria's Secret model while I'm pregnant?

It doesn't make sense.I always knew that wasn't gonna be my path to be honest when I got pregnant I just knew and I was okay with that.Like I don't have naturally small body genetics, right?I'm 183 I was 144 before I got pregnant Pregnant 40 pounds big whoop next pregnancy if I don't have diabetes, maybe I won't gain that much You know, please do not ever compare yourself to other people You'll consume yourself in something that will take up so much of your energy and happiness I'm actually excited because for the first time ever and since I was like God knows how old I was able to kind of take a break from being so concerned with my weight and and now i look back at like before i got pregnant and the times i thought i was like not the right weight that i wanted to be that i was unfit and now i look back and it gave me time to like appreciate everything and how i was and like how stupid it was for me to even feel so insecure all the time and like wanting to do more all the time you know so this time i feel like i'll be maybe like have like a healthier mindset because I haveso much time to reset and like i said i have gestational diabetes so really i still have to watch what i eat now i did have a good six month run there where i got to eat everything and anything i wanted guilt -free before i got diagnosed it is what it is you know i don't know i just feel like it's it's always shitty coming from other women I haven't braided my hair in so long sometimes even like what's going on with me now I'm completely lying if I tell you like I love the way I look I'm so confident sometimes I am sometimes I'm not some angles I am some angles I'm not waking up every day I see my face and I'm like damn you know like I have pregnancy nose people always make fun of pregnant people with pregnancy nose and sometimes it's like the top comment in my videos you know like oh pregnancy nose goes wild or whatever and i try to do my gua sha and my fluid you know extraction whatever the hell i was doing so trust me i see it but all i want is a healthy baby i have a high risk pregnancy you know but i like to address it sometimes you know what i'm saying like is it really gonna make me feel like shit maybe for half a second because i know okay yeah sure I'm bigger than what I thought and maybe what other people thought I would be while pregnant Oh my god, did I ever show you guys my earrings?Look how cute they are.

They're like these heart diamond earrings.They're dangling Let me show you you see them their hearts and they're dangling actually meant to match this necklace So this necklace osama and sunnah got for me last year for my birthday And my parents and osama and sunnah got me these for my birthday this year and they had asked me if I wanted to matchthe green emerald and emerald but I actually didn't want to just because like I think maybe it's more wearable if I had just like the diamonds you know and not emerald green so I got this a few months ago alright let's go change into clothes I'll leave it like this or sometimes I like to do like a pony but for now I'll just leave it like this cute How cute?Okay, let me show you guys the jeans.Don't mind the outfit, it's like all I could really put together, okay?Because I have this t -shirt, but it might be, it's been like a little chilly at nighttime, so I put like this sweater on top, and can you guys see?

I don't know if you guys can see.I officially have an Audi belly button, so yeah.But the jeans, very cute, and I just realized when I was putting them on, they actually have straps.So even though the large was big for me, I actually probably would get large again because on the sides here, you have straps that you can tighten.And honestly, it's very comfy.So I have this.

I tied my hair up.My posture really needs fixing.And I know this.I do my yoga ball work as much as I can.Now everything is looking like I'm going to fix it after I get breath.OK, for perfume.

You guys already know I love floral scents.So this Freedom Musk Bouquet by Kay Ali, so good.Okay, so good.I'm also gonna take my prenatals.Oh, I got these off of a TikTok recommendation.This is what it is.

This brand right here and it's Iron Rich Water Supplement.I got the apple flavor.I've had it sitting here for like two, three days.I have not tried it yet, but apparently it's more gentle.absorbs better, and a lot of people recommend it for anyone that has iron deficiencies and stuff.I am going to try to start taking it because I got the infusion.

I feel great, but I want to keep up my levels without having to get constant infusions.These are the um prenatals that I take it comes in a pack together they're the maternal ones because I've been speaking to an endocrinologist because my uh gestational diabetes and so they go over like all the vitamins and things everything that I'm taking and actually when I told her she asked me if I was taking omega -3 and I told her that I have the DHA supplement for my prenatal, and she was so happy that I was taking it.I've actually been taking this since before I got pregnant, and essentially it's just omega -3, I believe.It supports brain health and brain function.In the third trimester, your baby, the brain is still very much developing, so taking omega -3, especially in the third trimester, is really great, but I've just been happy that I've been taking this the whole time.I know a lot of women feel nauseous from their prenatals.

I never did, so.I'm really happy about that.So yeah, I'm just waiting to be picked up now.Sun is going to pick me up because I hate driving with this belly.Even though I do love driving myself places.Not right now.

Good morning.Let's have some chai.Father's Day today.So, we're gonna go out for dinner later.But, before then, I ordered flowers and cake for both Masood and my dad.The other day, I dropped chai all over my stovetop.

It's like one of those glass stovetops.And now, I can't figure out how to take the burn marks off of the stove, if you guys have any hacks.And then I just realized, I'm making my chai, again, on the same stove.area and it's just getting more burnt.I need like some hack.What I got, there's this bakery called Paris Baguette, Paris Baguette.

I think it's in Oakville, I'm pretty sure.And you guys, their stuff is so good.Their cakes are good, their croissants are good.Everything I've ever had from them is so freaking good.So, I got two things.I got one little small slice of cake for Masood because I'm going to put like a candle on it.

I also have flowers coming.I did not have the energy today to get up and go buy the stuff.So I ordered it.And then I got a bigger cake.And this one is it's a strawberry, like kind of like a shortcake, but it's I don't know.However they make it, it's so good.

It's not sponsored, obviously.We're gonna take this when we go to the other house.This little one I'm gonna take separately for Masood.I'm gonna put them in the fridge actually and then take candles as well.We have some really cute candles.I had candles somewhere, let me see.

I had like really pretty ones that had like flowers on them.For sure I had some.I thought I had some really nice candles, but I guess you don't need to blow out candles on Father's Day, so hmm.I'm gonna have my chai, and then we're gonna, I have some filming to do today, so we're gonna do that.I always tell you guys how I always tell Masood that he probably has like a year left of my dad giving him special treatment because me, Masood, my mom and dad have a group chat together.And Masood's been trying to convince my dad to go, not even convince, he was telling my dad that we're going to go for dinner tonight for Father's Day.

And my dad always, his first reaction is no.because my dad does not like leaving the house, you guys.In Pakistan, he's out walking.But here, he just does not like leaving the house.My dad replied with, no, thank you.My stomach is hurting.

I don't plan on eating dinner today.But luckily, it's not like downtown.If it was downtown, my dad would definitely not go.But we just want to go to like Captain's Boil because it's so delicious.I never thought that I would like seafood, let alone a jumbo crab leg.So I have my chai.

I'm debating, I'm not feeling too hungry.My blood sugar came good.Technically I should have my chai with like a protein or whatever.That's why those bagels I showed you guys are like amazing.But I'm not feeling hungry.But I'm thinking I should just have one.

You know what, I will have one because I have to charge my camera equipment before I start filming.So I just keep my toaster in here.These are the bagels.They're 18 grams of protein and only 230 calories, which is amazing.And they taste like a normal bagel.So they don't taste like, you know, gross wannabe bagels.

No, they taste like normal bagels.I wonder if this is good in the fridge or in the pantry.It doesn't say to refrigerate after opening or anything.So I kind of really burnt it, but it's fine.I don't think they're too far gone.Oh, OK, before I eat, I should put my cameras on charger and then we're going to eat these delicious bagels that I don't feel any guilt eating in the last vlog or something.

I think I told you guys that there's basically a single digit week left until the baby comes.And now we're at the point where the baby could come this week or next week or in two weeks.We don't know.I'm trying to like get all my filming and things done before I give birth, but we'll see.I'm not sure the last time I showed you guys my skincare routine, but I was just about to put it on.So I thought I'd show you.

It's pretty basic, all about eyes.Eye cream.I've yet to find an eye cream that actually makes your dark circles go away, but I just need moisture right now.Then I've been loving milky toners.This is the Naturium Multi -Bright Milky Toner.I like this one.

I like the Bioma one.I also just glue down my eyebrows, so I'm just avoiding my eyebrow area.And I don't put too much of each product because I don't want to start peeling because I'm going to wear makeup in a bit, put makeup on after.I still been using the CeraVe SPF.I recently like randomly saw some videos or articles about CeraVe like causing cancer or something.I'm not sure exactly because I never looked into it.

So I'm not sure if I should continue using this or not.If I'm not using the sunscreen, I'm back to using my Dr. Althea 345 cream.Just want like a good base.for my makeup later.I was looking at photos and it's crazy how much your face changes when you're pregnant.Oh and this baby's like always in my ribs.

My lips, like I thought my lips were always this size.They were not always this size.My lips were like, this is like 30 % bigger.Obviously I do have pregnancy nose but the lips, I don't know everything just looks so different.I've also been using the dr. Dennis Gentle daily peels.These are so good.

I don't use them daily.Maybe two to three times a week to probably I just feel like it helps brighten up my skin, especially after that Facial I got so yeah, that's all I'm gonna do for skincare.I do notice that my Lashes unless I curl them these days.They're like non -existent.I wanted to get like eyebrow lamination and a lash lift I'm too lazy not even lazy.Like I don't want to go like ideally if it was up to me before I give birth, I would have had lash extensions, definitely just laminate my eyebrows so I don't have to keep like gluing them up or something, but I'm not gonna do any of that.

First of all, lash extensions, how do you even do that when you're pregnant?Because laying down for two to three hours on my back is not gonna be comfortable, so it's just out of the question for me.My Oura ring has officially stopped fitting my ring finger it used to fit on this finger then this finger this finger and now I just put it on my pinky because I also especially when I sleep I put it on my pinky because I'm terrified of waking up to it like because your hands swell overnight I'm terrified to waking up and my freaking finger be blue because it's so tight on my skin let's head over to my parents I also stopped to put on a lip tint.My lips are just always so pale and I know it's because it's summer.iron it's just i look scary i don't know about you guys but i think getting flowers for your husband is cute so i got masseuse some flowers i got him like one slice of cake because i got like a bigger cake with the flavor that i like i got the bigger cake but masseuse likes like chocolate and nutella so i got him one slice and flowers and he's just getting home now from work so I'm gonna get to you guys I think I mentioned an outfit to you guys like a few days ago I wanted to show it to you because I was just getting ready for something else like quickly just doing a video because I didn't do it that day but this is the outfit I borrowed it from my mom and it's so pretty I wore it to a wedding like I want to say two weeks ago now and it just fits so perfectly.So I have this on.

While I was doing this, my dad just sent me the funniest video ever.I want to show you guys.Hold on.Elena's literally asking my dad if he has a baby in his tummy because my dad has like, he probably just ate and he had a big tummy.Look, watch.It's so funny.

I just put this outfit together because we're gonna go out now.We're gonna go to My parents house first and then we're gonna go out for seafood boil so this is my outfit the top is from Fashion Nova and these are the jeans that I've been telling you guys about the H &M jeans.They're so cute and comfortable.I want them in other colors except I don't know if I should because like I'm giving birth very very very soon inshallah So I don't know if I should get another pair.I could get another pairand save it for next time I don't know anyways got my crockies on got my purse.

I also got my dad some flowers.I got him White flowers for Father's Day, so we're gonna go there first.I have to take that cake out actually before I forget It will be open from here Who are you guys drawing?I'm drawing you.Oh yeah, you wish.Okay, I'm gonna put my bib and stuff on.

This is a bib.It's a bib.I have to tie it like this.You want one?Or no?No.

No?Okay.Hey, do you want one?I still have to put it on for her.keep okay open your hands open yeah we're ready to eat yayI'll keep giving it to them.

Do you have scissors?Yeah, you're good.All the way at the bottom.All the sauce at the bottom.It's okay, take another one.That was delicious.

Even Zyra had some crab.All right guys, that was so good and so filling.I brought some of the cake home.The one that I got Masood is a chocolate cake, but this one from that, I don't know, there's just something about this one that is so good and I'm gonna eat it, even though I have the diabetes.I have learned that like, or one spike in your blood sugar is not gonna harm the baby, but I haven't been walking, so I do feel guilty about that.So, you know, the weather here has been weird, because it was like warm, and then it started raining, and then it was cold and I have my little ball here.

Eight o 'clock now, I'm essentially just gonna do all of my ball movements, yoga movements.I saw some comments going through my TikTok right now and some of you guys were like, Lava, I swear you've been pregnant for 50 years.And to that I say, imagine how I feel, okay?We're on like literally the last little stretch and he is so comfortable in there so i'm not sure he's coming out until like literally the very end or until i actually get induced or whatever um i don't know if i already asked in this vlog if you guys have been induced if you had gestational diabetes or induced in general what yourprocess was because I think they're recommending for me to get induced at 39 weeks even if My blood sugar is normal.I have to figure that out.

I have an appointment with them this week.So I'll speak to them and see.I do know that that one week could make a difference, especially with gestational diabetes.And I also know that ultrasounds are very or can be very inaccurate.Like some of you guys are telling me that your baby, you had gestational diabetes and your baby was preemie size and they were scaring you and telling you that your baby was going to be too big.So.

I just don't know where to go.Like, I wish I didn't have gestational diabetes because I feel like there's a lot of pressure on me for getting the baby out at the right time.And I do, obviously, like, if I have a choice, I want to avoid c -section.If I can't, it's fine.Every, you know, it's like, it's fine.But I don't know, guys.

So if you have any suggestions or experience, let me know.I also heard induction is way more painful than normal.

So I don't know.

Anyways, this might be a shorter vlog than usual.I apologize if it is. I'm just getting some things figured out.So, and actually you guys have been loving my 40 to like almost an hour long vlog.I've been trying to like do them more.So I'm going to try my best for the next one to be very long and I will see you in that one.Bye.
