2ND TRIMESTER WITH TWINS! Symptoms, Depression, Genders etc

Daisy truly has not a single thought in her head, it is simply “exist and be cute”

“This is my cat daisy” and Daisy knows ALL things pregnancy. She is the first to know when Colleen is pregnant, when her water breaks, etc

Can't believe that the twins are almost here, I feel like that she just announced that she was pregnant and finding out the genders.

I really think only people who've been pregnant can truly understand feeling "I'm so grateful to be pregnant" and "this is the worst I've ever felt in my life" at the same time. I simultaneously hated my pregnancy AND loved being pregnant and now, I never want to be pregnant again AND I miss carrying my girl inside me

i love how i enjoy colleen's pregnancy content when i don’t have kids and i don't want to have kids

women are incredible and colleen is just another example of how strong women can be while going through tough times!

As a disabled person, everything you said about doctors resonates SO MUCH with my experience. Having dismissive doctors who don’t listen or take you seriously is the worst feeling in the world

Colleen seriously is the best because of her HONESTY. Her REALNESS. Her relatableness. That she shows she is HUMAN. I'm watching her video on my break at work because she brightens my day. She may be having a hard time during her pregnancy but knowing any one of us or even me could go through a pregnancy experience like hers. I am so grateful she let's us know all the behind the scenes and not just the highlight reel. Her podcast makes me laugh for hrs and I replay all the episodes as I'm crocheting and playing with yarn. Love her. Go Colleen. Thanks for being, just you. Incredible.

Girl, you’re going to have to a follow up with Mama Doctor Jones! This is a world of difference from the way your former medical professionals treated you with your last pregnancy!

she literally glows so much when she’s pregnant 🥺

I've been struggling with infertility for almost 5 years. We did ivf and had a miscarriage in March right around the time you posted about your miscarriage. I've been watching your videos and staying updated with your journey. I found out that I'm 6 weeks pregnant.. naturally. I'm in complete shock. Thank you for posting these videos after your miscarriage. It's so hard to keep going and watching your videos have really helped and have given me hope. I hope this time around is different! Thank you

Hearing you say that your pelvic girdle pain was worse than your contractions is giving me so much hope. I am 32 weeks pregnant with my first baby and have been experiencing excruciating pelvic girdle pain for months now. I was so nervous that if this hurt this bad I was not going to survive labor. Here's to hoping I have a similar experience to you.

Even though Colleen is 8 months pregnant she still vlogs everyday and makes our day

Colleen, I know you struggle with your confidence when you're pregnant, but you're genuinely so beautiful. You might not see it right now, but you're beautiful 24/7, no matter what. It's hard to feel beautiful when you don't feel good, so just remember it's just your mind twisting your perception right now. You're glowing girl!

Can we talk about the fact that Colleen posted this after the babies were here and we didn’t know?!?!!

Girl, you gotta stop calling yourself an idiot. I only say this because I notice you do it a lot. Words are so powerful and positive self talk is so important, especially during depression. Remember, you are incredibly talented, creative, an excellent actor, an amazing mum (Flynn clearly adores you) who is willing to sacrifice her body and sense of self to bring new life into this world, no matter what you do, it is enough and you are enough. You’re doing amazing. Love from Australia ❤️❤️❤️

Colleen says she’s not glowing yet she most definitely IS 😍 I am so proud of you Colleen for getting this far!!!! You’re almost to the finish line girl!

Found out I'm having twins TODAY and now you posted! Thank God for these videos. I'm so overwhelmed and need all the info I can get!

Colleen thinking about you a lot recently. Sierra Schultzzie did pool time her last trimester. Floating and weightlessness help her a lot. Sounds like you're doing baths but maybe pool time can help too. You're doing amazing!

I literally just realized how COOL she is. I'm already use to her personality but I searched up other 2nd trimester with twins videos on KRplus and there is NOBODY else like Colleen. I love her humor and her personality so much I always feel like I'm hanging out with a friend or that one favorite aunt when I'm with her. She's so amazing I can'ttt

“i’m not a doctor, i’m an idiot” - colleen ballinger 2021, 😹 i love her, she makes my day so much better

Can we all just thank Colleens obgyn , I don’t know who she is, but she must be amazing

I love that Colleen doesn't just talk about how horrible her pregnancy has been and the second trimester, she talks about what she does to make it manageable and help to the best of her ability. Thank you for being real and relatable

I just realized she posted this 2 days after the twins were born omg

I had a bath every night during my pregnancy. It is really relaxing during the 3rd trimester. Over the last 2 months I often had one in the morning. Feeling fresh is so good for wellbeing.

Who's is here after her twins were born!!!

The fact that she posted this and the twins were 2 days old and we didn't know

As soon as Colleen said she hasn’t fainted with this pregnancy, I found some wood to knock on!! Queen, you’ve got this!!! We’re all sending you good vibes only!! ❤️❤️

the fact this got posted after she had the twins!!!

Being a twin I feel so bad for my mom when she was pregnant with us 😂

For leg cramps in the middle of the night, try standing up immediately. It sucks, but it usually gets rid of them almost instantly.

imagine being colleen ballinger…a mother of a 2 y/o…being 8 months pregnant…WITH TWINS…dealing with a hell of a pregnancy…and still blessing us with vlogs almost every single day. she should be deemed a saint. ilysm colleen!!❤️

I’ve never had morning sickness, 1st trimester with my son I didn’t even feel pregnant (emergency csection, 8lbs15oz). I had hotness and lightheadedness with my daughter first trimester. My second pregnancy was much harder than my first, my daughter was transverse and hurt me so badly every time she kicked or moved…I’m only 4’10” and I was enormous! My daughter was 9lbs5oz (planned csection).

Ok. I started watching when she was pregnant with Flynn. Found out I was pregnant with my first right around the time we found out about the twins. Theses videos are a godsend. Realistic, honest, it all just really helped me feel seen. Thank you! Loving you as a mom vlogger. Older KRplusr (Vlogbrothers 2.0 era) and I LOVE when my OG faves show themselves growing up with me.

Colleen you'd be surprised at how many people ask me if my boy/girl twins are identical🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

I love how Colleen can come out here and give off such a happy, positive vibe. She shows us both sides, the good and the bad. She shares her good days and her bad days. Just to let other women who are pregnant or going through hard pregnancies that they’re not alone.

Tortilla talk: do you think Flynn might struggle a little with the big changes with the twins? As in if they cry late at night or just how they might muddle his routine, or do you think he’ll adapt quite quick? I love you all so much and Flynn is so adorable!! 🧡🧡🧡🧡

Thank God for good caring obgyns. My first pregnancy I had such a terrible doctor who never listened to anything I said or gave me options. It was a constant battle when the last thing I wanted to do is be strong and advocate for myself. Thank goodness I found a better doctor this time around.

Who is here watching 2 days late and now the babys have been born!

Who’s here after she just had her babys omgg there so cutttteee

Just wanted to say thank you and Eric for your Relax podcast.. I live in quite a scary block of units all on my own.. every night when my crazy neighbours are up and screaming/carrying on I listen to your guys podcast to get to sleep. Makes me feel safe and not so alone.. so thank you ❤️💙

Colleen is just making our day better!

Sometimes I can see and hear when Colleen is talking about something and she's holding back her emotions and tears. Even if in that moment she has nothing to cry over just mentioning what makes you cry can be enough to make you cry if it effects you enough while it's happening (if that makes sense). Love you Colleen and you're one of my favorite KRplusr's... you're so genuine, authentic, and relatable and I think that last thing is really important for having a good connection with your audience.

Your willingness to be unapologetically real and raw throughout this vulnerable journey you’re going through is so admirable.💗

God bless you colleen, you became a part of so many lives, giving a breather to so many people, doing funny stuff, informing, trying to be your best self but also show your more vulnerable side which is how humans are; love your main channel and your vlogs, stay healthy you and your family ❤️❤️❤️

Daisy taking ‘cat-revenge’ on Colleen is magnificent! Colleen has told us numerous times that Daisy refuses to clean herself, so Daisy responds: “I’m gonna lick my butt on camera, try saying I never clean myself again woman!’

I have another 6 weeks of my second trimester. It has been aweful. I'm still sick all the time and nothing works. So tired all the time. I have tried for 16 years with two losses so I am also greatful to be here.

I love how open you are about your mental health. Sometimes I worry my anxiety will prevent me from being able to have kids, but watching you makes me hopeful. You’re such a great mom despite your struggles with your mental health.

Hi, college student here and only a fur mama but I just wanted to say you are one of the strongest women I have EVER seen and you give so many people joy! Stay strong, we all love you and are wishing you the absolute best!

Colleen: Talks about all these horrible symptoms
* Happy Background Music intensifies*

The fact that this was posted after the twins were born

I’ve been sooo depressed these past few months and literally seeing Colleen’s videos/vlogs/podcasts every week literally is like a reward for living and thriving another day 💗❤️ love you!!

I love you so much Colleen! I am 13 years old and I find you so inspiring. I watch all of your videos 😅 I wish I could be like you when I’m older. You are an amazing parent, amazing aunt, amazing everything! Although you are an adult and I’m not, sometimes I still relate to some of your struggles and it’s always good to relate to someone. So excited to see your family grow! Also, you are doing so AMAZING in this pregnancy. It’s a well known fact that growing a human being is hard. Let alone two! Let alone having the most crazy symptoms on top of that! Praying for you each day for things to get easier for you. You are supported by millions of us and I’m sure we can all agree, you are a beautiful human being. Lots of love from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ❤️ 🤍
Sadly I know nobody is going to see this so Colleen can’t see it :(
Thank you to those people who liked this to help Colleen see it. Love ❤️

Having doctors who are invested in YOU, and not just getting the visit done, makes a huge difference during health challenges!

I had a 10lb baby & was as "big" as you are at that same stage! Lol. Im so excited to see the twins. Honestly, you are kicking butt with this pregnancy!!

I'm so sorry pregnancy is hard for you. You're a freaking Rockstar for doing it again even after your pregnancy with Flynn. It also makes me sad you have to constantly reassure your audience that you understand that not everyone can get pregnant and it's not valid for you to complain. It is. It's your life, please dont feel bad for complaining about your struggles, they're valid too.

I lived in the bath during my pregnancies, I was having 2 or 3 a day! Whatever works for you, as long as you follow the guidelines. I know you are still struggling and will until the babies are born but you’ve got this Colleen. You’re on the home stretch now ❤️ xx

Whenever she posts these days i feel like there's gonna be a split second of her labor picture with twins.. As she did with her first one 💖 Man im so exciteddd

To think Colleen is most likely going to have these twins in the next couple of weeks is sooo exciting! I can’t wait to see them

SHE POSTED THIS YESTERDAY AND NOW THE BABY CAME OUT ALREADY AHHHHHH

Tortilla Talk Questions.
Have you picked names yet?
Does Flynn understand that there are twins coming soon?
Love you and your family Colleen 💞

You look stunning and you're doing Amazing. You're caring for a toddler, pregnant with twins and you are still rocking it as hard as it is

So did Kory post this two days after babies were already born to throw us off? I love it! Congrats Mama!

I'm so thankful that you have such a supportive and "on it" team this time around!!

I love how colleen shows real life and not the kind or "Pinterest mom" kinda thing. She's just so real I love it! You brighten my day colleen 💗

To think that collen posted this video with the twins already born is so cuteee!!

Tortilla talk : I don't have a question or anything I just wanted to say how proud of you I am and we all are you're doing such an amazing job and I'm always excited to get back from school to watch all your videos and vlogs thank you for being you and making us laugh everyday !! ❤️❤️❤️

A big tip for helping calf cramps is to pull the front of your foot towards your knee when the cramps are happening. Erik can do this for you if you cant reach. This has really helped me in the past!

Seeing as how the doctors are prepping a Colleen for an early delivery, I'm surprised this wasn't a second and third trimester update. I want to see a poll on who can predict when the twins will come💜💜💜

I’ve been thinking about this a lot as I found you when you announced your pregnancy with Flynn. I think that the fainting was due to how hard you overworked yourself with Flynn. I wouldn’t be surprised if these babes stay in just as long as Flynn because you have been forced to take it easy this time.
I hope that whenever they decide to make their grand entrance everything goes well and these last weeks go a smoothly as possible for you and your family 💜💜💜

I became an IV infusion nurse a couple of months ago and it's been my fav nursing job! Love helping my patients in the comfort of their homes.

I’m literally 13 (clearly not pregnant) but I still LOVE watching Colleen’s videos about her life and journey with being pregnant with twins! They are just a great source of positive energy!

I know Colleen keeps saying she doesn’t have the pregnancy glow, and I’m sure you might not feel glowy at all, but I genuinely do think you look SO GOOD during pregnancy!😍🔥💛

Colleen, I've watched your videos for over 6 years now and growing with you has ment the world to me. I love your honesty and can't wait to meet our new best friends. ♥️

PURE glowing beauty!
That hair!
That Face!
That Bod!
Keep smiling!
You got this!

I ran across your videos when I was depression scrolling one day and I just wanted you to know that I feel 1000xs better about how I've been feeling about pregnancy, and knowing that I'm not alone has been so helpful. I love my kids and I love that I can experience birth, but this pregnancy has been the worst thing EVER. You being honest and open about symptoms makes me not feel alone, and I've been feeling alone for 8+ months. So thank you for being so real and raw with your experience and know that your videos has helped this really pregnant mama get through the last few months of pregnancy and hopefully the next week or so until she decides to show her face!

Yesss I love when she posts I have such a bad head ache rn and this made my day better 😌😌😌

I’ve watched you for the past 7 years.. and I can’t believe you’re going to have 3 kids! I love watching you and your beautiful family grow! You’re such an amazing momma🤩💓

Currently 11 weeks pregnant with twins via IVF ❤️ I take a bath almost every. Single. Night. I don’t know what it is, but I don’t feel sick when I’m in the bath and it helps so much with all my pregnancy symptoms.

i love you girlll you’re sooooo strong more then words can say and you need to give yourself more credit, literally bring two new humans into the world I LOVE YOUUU STAY SAFE QUEEN 💗💗💗💗💗

Colleen, you are such a brave and strong mama! You are beating this pregnancy and winning, your pregnancy is the hardest i’ve heard of and I am so proud!

Tortilla talk question🌮🌮🌮: what are you most excited about with the first week that you’ll have the babies? Do you have any sweet newborn memories with Flynn that you’re excited to experience with the twins? :) I love you so so much, I wish you the best of luck with the rest of your pregnancy/birth!

Colleen, thank you so much for speaking out about how important it is to find medical professionals that are willing to listen. I've had so many traumatic experiences with doctors not taking my symptoms seriously and after 15 years of actively trying to find medical answers to my weird symptoms I finally have a diagnosis (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome) and a supportive team of doctors, PTs, etc. guiding my care. Unsolicited advice for anyone out there reading this, it's OK to advocate for yourself, only you know how you're feeling and trust your gut if you feel like something isn't right. I love hearing about your genuine emotions towards pregnancy, thank you for being such an open, honest person. It inspires me to become more empowered myself!!!

I haven’t been on KRplus for a couple days and today when I came back I got this video and a video titled “birth of my twins” and i am so exited to see that video after this but it is so cool how this was posted two days ago and now you have 3 children right after posting this! That is so cool!

Colleen you make my worst days into my best days! Love you and never stop being you!

love the second trimester video straight into the birth of the babies omg

Colleen i haven’t even watched this video yet but i just want to tell you how excited i get every time you upload literally anything. i’m going through a rough time right now (i know you are too with the pregnancy) and i just love being a little bit a part of your life💕 so thank you

It's amazing to have doctors who listen to you. Like 14 years of obgyn doctors telling me that there wasn't anything wrong with me and it just sucks my periods were so bad and irregular. I got frustrated after seeing multiple at one practice and pretty much all the providers at another practice I called the practice I was currently in saying that I wanted to see an endometriosis specialist (I had just about every symptom and my maternal grandmother has it) I got asked if I was diagnosed with it and I told her no, that's why I want to see him.
I've NEVER had someone so understanding and willing to listen to me. It felt amazing. I got the surgery to see if I had it about a year ago. I do have it, though it wasn't bad since I have been on birth control since 15, and I did feel a lot better after. Still some break through cramping but my guess was having stuff stuck to the wrong spots for so many years wasn't good. Luckily he does normal stuff too, so he can be my permanent provider!

Colleen is such a genuine person

THIS WAS 2 DAYS AGO AND NOW SHE HAS 3 KIDS!!! IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU CONGRATS COLLEEN!!!

Honestly, I never followed or watched any family/pregnant mom vlogs EVER . You basically introduced many OG fans to the family/pregnant mom side of youtube and I find that pretty funny

I just broke my ankle one week ago. When I soaked my foot in Epsom salt 2 days ago, the pain totally went away. It helped so much, I almost cried for joy!

Colleen you're so close!! We are all rooting for you hang in there!

I’m so glad she’s doing so well I haven’t watch u in a while cuz I been busy

Hey Colleen! I just recently found out I was pregnant with twins! I just finished my first trimester. Your videos have helped me so much. I really appreciate it you filming your time as a pregnant women with twins.

i’m so happy you focused on yourself this pregnancy and didn’t forget that how you feel matters and not everything is all about the babies!

My twins were 2 days overdue. Weighing in at 6 lb 10 oz and 6 lb 12 oz. I absolutely loved being pregnant and felt great the whole time except the last month. I was just huge. I was only 23 at the time, so maybe youth was on my side, not that you’re old. My twins are mirror identical girls, now 35 years old. They were my first pregnancy and the birth was natural and uneventful. My son was born 15 months later. His delivery was trickier.

7 minutes early!
You got this, Colleen! I’m so excited for you about the twins. Flynn is gonna be the best big bro. You are gonna feel like yourself again and play with your son again and 2 NEW BABIES! You got this, girlfriend! Love ya❤️❤️❤️

I am so excited for you!! I am having my baby boy this Friday and its been the longest week of my freaking life! Love feeling like were on this journey together, even though its through the phone and made up in my own head, lol!

I am so grateful she's working so hard to give us great content!
