- Bring in the bellies!
- My partner in crime for the next 48 hours.
(ding)
- You can have like sciatica.
- Ahh.
- It looks like I'm pregnant.
(music)
(baby babbling)
- Hi, I'm Lindsay.
- And I'm Jazzmyne.
- Last time we went back
and redid our high school experience.
(beep)
Oh my god, yours look so real!
- Very adolescent.
- So, they didn't card us.
- We did not get carded.
(beep)
- But this time we're fast forwarding into parenthood.
- Ooh.
- Ohh.
- In this episode,
we'll be wearing pregnancy bellies for 48 hours.
- Ohh.
- Are you gonna be pregnant one day?
- Honestly, no, because of like, past trauma.
When I am uncomfortable or things are out of my control,
especially physically,
I feel terrible.
What about you?
- I feel like I grew up thinking I would want one,
but I feel like with time,
I feel like the maternal instinct started happening,
everyone's having babies right now.
- Yes.
- I don't know if it's the pandemic,
I don't know if it's because we're getting older.
- Both.
It really makes you, like, look back at your life.
- I know.
- And be like, should I?
- I am positive that I don't want to birth a child
through my own body, but I want kids.
At least two, possibly six.
- Six?
- Yes, I want a team.
(baby coo)
- I'm Rebecca Nelken.
I am a gynecologist and a pelvic floor specialist.
- I don't know what that means.
- Well you'll find out after you birth this baby.
- Ahh.
- We are going to be wearing pregnancy bellies for 48 hours.
What are we going to experience?
- All of your daily tasks
are going to become more physically cumbersome.
It feels like extra weight.
It's pressing on your bladder.
- Really?
- Swollen ankles, swollen legs.
- Yeah.
- You can wear compressions stockings.
- Wow.
- Or keep your feet up as much as possible.
- Cheska!
- Oh my gosh.
- You just had a baby!
- I did.
- Aw.
- Oh my gosh.
- We're going to be wearing pregnancy bellies
for 48 hours.
What was like, the hardest things to do
while you were pregnant?
Like physically.
- Like, tying my shoes was really hard.
I just wore slip-ons a lot.
Or, like, let my husband tie my shoes for me.
- How did you sleep?
Like what position do you recommend?
- I started sleeping on my back
because it's better for you,
but when you're pregnant at a certain point,
you can't sleep on your back.
So, you just have to like, realign your pillows
and all that stuff.
- So, you can only sleep on your side.
All right.
Well, thanks Cheska.
We'll talk to you soon.
- Bye.
- Oh my God. The baby!
I can't.
- When should I worry about like my eggs dying?
- Yeah.
- Because I think society like freaks you out.
- Excellent question.
Because it is true that fertility declines with age.
35 is when that decline becomes more significant.
- You need to get on this.
- What?
- You need to get on this!
- I'm not ready.
- You'll have one. You'll give it to me.
- I'm your surrogate now?
- Yes!
And then we'll raise them together.
- Imagine?
- You guys are gonna do great.
I really think you're going to enjoy it.
- We'll look real cute.
- Oh. You know what's super cute?
- Oh, we're gonna look cute.
- I'm trying to be a mom thot.
- We're going to shop for our fashion.
- Fashion, pregnancy fashion.
- The pregnant fashion.
- Any time I'm on like, say ASOS.
- Mmhmm
I always have to de-select the pregnancy option.
- Mmhmm.
- And do main collection.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But, I'd like it to see pregnant.
I want something that's going to show off
- The bump.
- The bump, right?
- Yeah.
- I wouldn't normally go for something like this,
but it has like the extra room for the bump.
- Yes.
- It looks comfortable.
And I think I could make it more me with this bucket hat.
- We are on the website CoEdition,
which actually have plus size maternity and are cute.
What I have found is this maternity jumpsuit
with a cardigan.
- Cute.
- I got it in a cute rose color.
- Hot moms.
- Watch out.
- Bring in the bellies.
I'm terrified.
(laughing)
- I am so scared.
- Ooh. Oh, oh.
- Oh, heavy.
- Ohhh.
- Oh, this is cute!
- It feels like a waterbed.
All right, put yours on first.
- Cheers.
- Belly bump.
(ding)
- I'm scared.
- Can you hold up your shirt, it got tucked in your shirt.
- Okay.
Oh, it is cute.
- Oh my God.
- Let's get her on you.
Okay.
(disc scratching)
(laughing)
You can do this.
You can pull this off.
- Oh, I look adorable.
- Yes.
- But I also look like,
I kind of look like a teen mom.
(laughing)
Let's belly bump into our day one, baby.
- All right. 1, 2, 3.
(laughing)
- Good morning. I'm pregnant.
My partner in crime for the next 48 hours.
I don't know if I can do this by myself.
(laughing)
Look at her go.
Usually when I wake up having to start a video challenge,
I don't really like my day controlled.
Especially when I wake up.
I don't know how I'm feeling.
I could be feeling horrible.
I could feel amazing.
But this time, I felt good and I was excited.
Not going to lie, it's weirdly comfortable.
There is that extra weight.
I'm not sure if it's as heavy as a real pregnancy belly,
but it is heavy.
- It is the first day of pregnancy belly.
I'm going to make some breakfast
for me and my friend, Jill.
First, Jill needs to help me put it on so.
Jill?
- [Jill] Yeah?
- Will you come put this stomach on me?
(laughing)
- Will you lift your shirt up?
- Yes. One moment.
I'm just tucking it like.
Wow.
(kisses)
(laughing)
I don't know if it's because like,
I'm bigger in general.
- Right.
- But it did not.
- Yeah.
- Send me in a weird place.
- Right.
We had a day planned.
- We did.
- The classic Lindsay friendship day plan.
- Yep.
- Where we'd go to the mall.
- Yep.
- And look at everything and not buy anything.
- So I have about an hour
before I have to go pick Lindsay up.
I'm going to see what I'm going to wear today.
Oh my gosh y'all,
this is so weird and I know it's supposed to,
but like, it looks like I'm pregnant.
- I'm going to go get ready for my day.
This is what the belly looks like on its own.
Honestly, I could walk out like this
and no one would think anything of it.
Oh God, this is difficult.
I can't get my socks.
Oh my God.
That was one sock and I'm exhausted.
- I'm already sweating.
- Now for tying my shoes, again, I fell.
I need a break.
- Oh, thank goodness.
- All right. So this is my day one preggo look,
I got these pregnancy Spanx on, Converse,
crop top under this, and then a little tie,
which kind of hides the fact that this
is a fake pregnancy belly.
- I don't know if it's the belly or if it's like mom energy,
but I'm stressing out for no damn reason.
I'm walking around just like overwhelmed.
I really feel like my mom.
(laughing)
Pregnant people drive too.
- You look amazing.
Moms!
The ironic thing is like,
we're right next to an elementary school right now.
And we're waddling in
- We really are.
- We are waddling in with all the other literal mothers.
(laughing)
I'm just terrified
that we're going to run into someone we know.
- I'm so hungry.
- I am so hungry. We're eating for two.
- We're eating for two.
- Maybe they'll give us bigger portions
because they'll see our bellies.
(laughing)
- Shut up.
- I'm serious.
- So we went to the mall.
I started feeling really insecure.
- [Jazzmyne] Because, people were looking at us.
- [Lindsay] Yeah.
- [Jazzmyne] And I couldn't tell.
- [Lindsay] Why.
Full stares not just like a look
and then they'll look away.
Like full stares.
- There was just like eye contact.
- Do you think people really think we're pregnant?
- I'm not going to lie.
I feel like a bit of a phony.
- I do too.
I feel like I don't deserve this.
Okay, so I just went to the bathroom
and there was a line
and the girl let me go in front of her
and in the biggest stall.
(laughing)
- We went and got lunch,
Jazz was walking to the door
and someone walks in front of her.
Someone already held the door open for us.
And we.
(laughing)
We refused,
and they were like, no,
you're not opening this door.
And you were like, no,
you don't have to do that, like, I got it.
And she was like, no.
- Yeah, like insisted.
I ordered nachos for lunch.
And the waiter came and was like,
these are really hot.
And I was like, get them away from baby,
baby doesn't like hot.
- She was like, don't worry.
Like I won't get it next to baby.
I was like this is our life right now.
- So we went to a fancy store,
went straight to the baby section.
- You were like, all right, I want avant garde,
I want gender bending.
- I want couture, literally.
- Like, couture.
- [Lindsay] They didn't have avant garde,
they did not have gender bending.
They had, like.
- They had like, suspenders.
(gasps)
[Lindsay] So cute.
- [Jazzmyne] Oh my God, is this it?
- [Lindsay] I would say
it was way more exhausting than a normal mall trip.
- [Jazzmyne] It was like mentally exhausting.
- It was mentally exhausting,
but also like, there was a lot more pressure on my back.
I was so bloated that it hurt to like move around
and get up and down in this belly
because the bloated-ness was weighing on the belly.
- Oh my God.
- Anyway, I was just a wreck.
- [Jazzmyne] So when I went home,
Kate came over and I was so excited to show them,
what do you think about me having this belly?
- I can't say it's comical
because this is a natural phenomenon for some people,
but it's funny to see you pregnant,
knowing you don't super have plans to do that.
- Does it make you want to see me pregnant with a child?
- I don't think it makes me want you to be pregnant.
- Why?
- Because this is cute and fun.
But when there's actually a human growing in you,
there's so much associated pain and symptoms.
I wouldn't want to see you go through that.
- Time for a nap, mama's tired.
- I wish you would stop.
(laughing)
- I haven't had any issues with the bump,
except that I want to take it off.
(laughing)
And it's only day one
and I'm already feeling exhausted from this.
So, I can only imagine 9 months.
- It's the first night sleeping with the bump.
I usually sleep on my side.
I'm not really a back sleeper.
Oh, we'll see how this goes.
Good night little one.
- Here's the thing.
The way I normally sleep is belly down,
but I don't think I can.
Kind of, no, I can't do that.
I guess it's going to be like sideways lay,
but didn't someone say
that you can't lay on your back when you're pregnant.
So how are you supposed to sleep?
(rooster crowing)
- Oh my God.
I did not sleep well at all with this belly on.
I am so tired.
I also woke up with horrible cramps
and like, swore I was in labor
because I had this belly on.
Let's get to day 2, I guess.
- I'm going to try to put on this leopard print,
like romper, it's not maternity, but it is stretchy.
So I'm hoping it'll fit.
This is the look today.
- Okay, wow, I'm not going to lie,
I think this is my favorite outfit.
I feel so cute in this.
Got this maternity shirt from ASOS
and same with these little maternity shorts.
Wow. This is a moment.
- How are those shorts?
- They're kind of slipping down.
(laughing)
- They're cute though.
How are you feeling?
- I go in and out of just really wanting to take it off
and feeling, and then also feeling really wonderful.
- Yes. I was very, very worried about seeing myself.
- [Lindsay] Yes.
- [Jazzmyne] Pregnant.
- [Lindsay] Yes.
- And adjusting to that.
- Yeah.
- But, I really love it.
One of the coolest things about being pregnant
is announcing it with a photo shoot.
- Yup.
All right, we're headed to our pregnancy photo shoot.
- I am like.
- What?
- Can we work this?
We wanted it to be, like, flowy.
- [Lindsay] Right.
- [Jazzmyne] Still giving that mom glow.
- [Lindsay] Right.
- [Jazzmyne] And we wanted it to be us.
- We are literally glowing.
- Baby loves being a star.
(camera shutters)
- Night 2 of our pregnancy bellies.
I'm exhausted.
And I don't know if it's physically
carrying this weight around,
or if it's like mentally carrying this weight around.
- It is our last night wearing the bumps
and we're going out.
And I'm trying to figure out what to wear.
Never had to dress for a sexy night out
with a pregnancy bump.
So, I ordered this dress off maternity on ASOS,
and I thought it was really cute,
but the issue is it's so short in the back.
Like, all the fabric kind of went to the front
to cover the bump.
Oh my God.
Okay. This has been truly so frustrating.
I've tried on so many different things.
Nothing fits obviously, because this is not my normal size.
And I'm also sweating.
Ew, it's slimy down there.
- Here are my outfit options.
I'm either going to wear this dress with
this dress underneath it.
This dress is a little tight, so, we'll see.
- I found this dress
that is not supposed to be a maternity dress,
but somehow stretches to be one.
And I just paired it with some cowboy boots
and this little black bag.
- I decided to put on this little skin-tight dress.
Yes, this is pretty high.
I put on this like, long sleeve dress underneath it,
but I tucked it in.
And then I totally clashed at the bottom
with my orange socks and sky Crocs.
- We are going out to karaoke.
Normally, I would drink,
but I'm kind of nervous even though I'm allowed to drink
because this little one is not real.
I don't want to cause a stir if people see me drink.
Maybe we just shouldn't.
- And then things got wild.
Wild moms.
(party music)
(beep)
Me and you literally pregnant in these awesome outfits
walking into a karaoke bar.
And then we sang our asses off.
- I didn't realize how many songs had the word baby in it.
It was a blast.
- This is our last night.
Before this video,
I was already like people who give birth are truly,
not even superheroes, like unreal to me.
And I just like, I can't even fathom.
- In no way, shape, or form, did we experience, like,
how life is with an actual fetus growing inside of us.
- No.
- But it did not make me want to have a child.
I just knew in my body and my mind
that it's not my time yet.
- I've never wanted to be pregnant.
And then seeing this on me,
being like, oh, this isn't bad.
It was just really emotional
because I didn't hate it
as much as I thought that I was going to.
- All right, now's the time to rip this.
- Take this off.
- Literal baby off.
(laughing)
Oh my God, it's so sweaty.
Ew, ew, ew, ew.
(baby babbling)
