Raven Gates Gottschalk Shares Pregnancy Vlog from First 13 Weeks: ‘The Secret Is Out!’
Baby on the way!
Earlier this week, Bachelor Nation fan-favorite couple Raven Gates Gottschalk and Adam Gottschalk announced that they are expecting their second child together.
Their baby boy Gates just turned 1 year old and now the couple has baby number two on the way!
And amid all the excitement over their pregnancy announcement, Raven shared a vlog documenting the first 13 weeks of her pregnancy so far.
In the video, she shares behind-the-scenes moments from their ultrasounds, reveals her symptoms so far, and discusses how it’s been different from her first pregnancy.

At week six, Raven shared that she was feeling super emotional, saying, “I’m being honest with you guys. I’m really struggling. We’re still keeping it a secret so it can be a surprise for my mom and dad on Christmas. I called her yesterday so upset and she asked if I was pregnant, and I just said no and then laughed.”
Around week seven, Raven shared that her melasma has come back in full force and she said she thinks it may be worse than when she was pregnant with Gates.
Despite the melasma, by week seven Raven said, “Overall, I feel really good and I’m glad that I’m feeling better. Even if I do have more mood swings, I’m glad that today is a good day. I will take that as a win!”
At eight weeks, Raven took fans behind the scenes of her ultrasound appointment, where we got to hear her baby’s strong heartbeat.
