I really hope she doesn’t have to have the blood thinners for as long as they suggested - I had to have them for a few weeks after giving birth and they’re just horrible. Had to get my partner to inject me cos there was no way I could do it to myself!
She prob will tbh. I have an inflammatory condition too (joint related rather than gut) and I was on Fragmin by the halfway point, had to be on it until 6 weeks postpartum, so around 6 months total 😭 Actually found it easy at first but after a few weeks you run out of untraumatised flesh and it gets harder and harder. I went from almost enjoying the ritual to being extremely desperate to see the back of it.

Fwiw I injected into my stomach. I found it wayyyy less painful than doing it into a thigh.

Yeah we did stomach too - not fun 😔

So in generally I quite like Hannah, I like her videos and her second channel and I am of course super happy for her that she is pregnant. That being said…
Does anyone feel like the things she talks about are … not that groundbreaking? Perhaps I just read a tiny bit more about sex and sexuality than some people, but given her vanilla cis white straight perspective (no shade, I’m cis white and straight-passing) - I just haven’t watched a video of hers where I’m like ‘wow, I didn’t know that’.

I agree. Since I found some sex toy reviewers and BDSM educators on YT, Hannah just seems a bit entry level. Not a bad thing, I think her videos are quite teen-friendly and that's great.

I agree with whats being said about it being basic, but as a teenager she pretty much was my sex education (alongside laci green) and i think there is most definitely a market for her videos. Its entry level but I think that's generally a good thing. I think her podcasts are a bit more in depth

That’s a good point; maybe I should listen again. Only listened to the earliest ones and I think she was still finding her feet as an interviewer.
(Sadly I’m a bit too old to have had her videos in my teens. Would have been really helpful though, especially the consent focused content!)

yeah same I wish I had had someone like her when I was a teenager, we were never given any advice in school; even now I am mid 30s and I am shocked at my lack of knowledge about some women's health issues.
OT but I don't think she has a thread, I haven't followed Laci Green in ages since she started dating some kind of right wing nutcase, is she still with him?

Honestly haven't viewed any of Laci's videos in years. When I was like 15 I lived for her and Hannah's uploads (that was 7 years ago now). I think I stopped watching her before she even got with the guy she's seeing now. I stuck with Hannah because I felt like she was more pleasant to watch.

I think she's very entry level, mainstream sex-positive. Probably good for like 13-18 year olds to watch and learn about things but anyone above that age who is experienced in sexual relationships of any kind, not really good content. She's like The One Show of sex YouTubers.

I think when I was a teen her content would have been way more out there (in like 2008-12) but I feel like society is so hypersexualised now that she sits in that entry level stuff.

Laci got involved in the alt-right somehow and it kinda derailed everything. They all had a hate-boner for her and then started a "dialogue" together and then she fell off the radar.

I think Laci was always much more academic and americanised but Hannah is more personable.

I checked in on Laci recently as she was mentioned here and she's barely posting. I watched a (imo) badly argued video on cancel-culture and called it quits. I'm not sure what her purpose or 'brand' is anymore.

I've thought this too, like her takes are almost a bit cliche at times, and I wish she'd delve a little deeper. Then again I can see how this content is useful to people (and teens), and maybe it's best she doesn't speak too much about things outside of her expertise.

One thing I thought was strange, that I didn't want to comment about here while she was still trying to conceive because that didn't seem right, is how little she knew about ovulation. In that hormone diaries video she did about tracking her ovulation for the first time she had no idea how to use those tests, and apparently was not that educated on how ovulation works/how to track your cycle. And it seemed odd for someone who calls themselves a sex educator to not know such basic stuff about the menstrual cycle and fertility. There's plenty of youtube videos, even, that explain ovulation tracking very clearly. That also made it seem like her knowledge is a bit surface level.

I agree with you. I also recently listened to her Q&A with her husband about pregnancy and parenting, and I was really surprised how u prepared they both came across. I think he came across really badly tbh I was surprised she published it; but even Hannah seemed to be lacking a lot of basic knowledge. For context I’m 27 and have no children and know quite a bit more.

I really liked the new video? Love when Dan went “yeah I probably should’ve used warm water shouldn’t I?”
 
Yes the new video was a bit of fun and lighthearted. Hannah is glowing. I’m excited for all the baby content we’ll get this year. I wonder will Dan be on camera a bit more? He seems to value his privacy so they could keep their baby private too.

New to this thread! 😁
I also genuinely like Hannah. My husband and I will be going through fertility treatments (first appointment is in April!) so I've found her videos really useful. It seems like she is quite fortunate that her process has gone quite quickly!

Dan always seems so uninterested in her videos but I'm not sure if that is just because he's more private than she is, I'm currently watching her upload for today and she's talking about a c-section with UC and he doesn't say much.

I just watched her second trimester update and actually enjoyed it. She is so excited for this baby and I like how she isn't shying away from the less sunshine and rainbows elements of pregnancy. A lot of influencers show only the buying cute clothes and scan pictures and I like how she was discussing c section options and hip pain etc. its important for women to see all sides of pregnancy not just the cute bits

I also really like the trimester format, I think it gives a really clear overview of what happens at each stage rather than fluff filled weekly updates that some people do.

I enjoyed the second trimester video too. I just wish she was less woke regarding finding out the baby's sex. "Finding out which genitals it has" is a horrible way of expressing it. Just say sex. Male or female. We know gender is different, socially constructed, etc.

I also hate when she says "pregnant people". I really hope that childbirth, breastfeeding, and child-rearing will make her realise that these are precious female experiences. Naming them as such doesn't take anything away from the vanishingly small number of women who don't identify as women yet still have children. Please.
