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.
I've got to disagree about your last comment. I don't see anything wrong with her saying pregnant people. Because they are pregnant people. Not all those who can carry a child identify as women. It's nice to acknowledge this.

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 kind of feel bad for him as he clearly doesn't seem to want ot be on the channel, I would rather her just do it alone tbh as I find it awkward to watch someone who doesn't really want to be on screen

I like Hannah, so I recently tried to get through a podcast she was on. Oh my goodness, I couldn't. The amount of time she says 'like' within a sentence. It's unbearable.

Completely agree with you on this. I was shocked when she said that in the video

Only just gotten to that 2nd tri video. Anyone else find it odd that she cries herself to sleep whenever her husband is away? Most couples I know are grateful to have the bed to themselves...

I was a bit surprised at that from Hannah, as I'd have expected her to be more independent! But hey, people are complex...

Frankly, I find this pathetic. She's a grown woman!

I normally like Hannah but her video about not finding out her baby’s genitals was just so smug. I found out my baby’s gender, turns out I must be cis normative.

Can anyone who's watched it tell me if it's going to get my gender critical back up?? I've had a hard day on Twitter and don't feel like watching something that's going to tip me over the edge :ROFLMAO: 🤠

So, I'm agender but there's something that really ducks me off when people say "we are finding out our babys gentials" like ok great good for you, loads of people don't find out what they're having before it's born - but it's the smugness of it especially the whole genitals bit, I think saying "finding out the genitals" is such a bloody crass way of saying "we don't mind what the bab comes out with"
Also, there's nothing wrong with wanting/not wanting to find out, I think massive gender reveals are tacky af but ngl if i was pregnant I'd end up freaking out over not knowing.

One of her tips is that if someone asks you what you’re having, you should reply ‘you want to know what genitals my baby has?!’ That way people will feel uncomfortable and will realise what a stupid question it is.

Eh? People would think you were off your trolley! It's just a polite, formulaic question people ask. They don't actually care, outside of close family. It's just "boy or girl" and get on with your day. Or "we don't know yet." Easy.

If people feel so strongly about gender identity I don’t know why they’d even watch Hannah in the first place, she’s always made her position pretty clear.

I don’t understand, I’m getting the impression she’s raising the baby gender neutral but then she replies to a comment saying she won’t be using ‘they/them’ pronouns so I assume she’ll be using he or she so isn’t she just contradicting herself

I agree, I ask it to be polite when people talk about their pregnancies, I have nothing else to say as I have no children/am never likely to and just want to fill conversation tbh. What elses can I say? ask about a name? that seems way more invasive

Yeah I was thinking about this. Is she going to refer to the baby as her daughter/son or child? No right answer but if she’s very concerned regarding stereotypes etc then you’d think she’d aim for gender neutral pronouns until the child can tell her which ones they’d like used. 🤷‍♀️
