“As a very paranoid, very anxious person, I always like to wait until I’m at least like around the 20-week mark,” the soon-to-be mom of two said. “And I almost am.”
She added, “So I thought it would be the perfect time to announce it.”
Brownlee went on to say that she was excited to share her pregnancy journey with her subscribers again after doing “lots of fun videos” when she was pregnant with River.
“I’m actually finding out the gender today,” she continued. “I can’t even explain to you guys just how excited I am and that video will be coming soon, so tuned for that.”

Brownlee also shared clips of her pregnancy journey so far, which included her arriving at her first midwife appointment, her first scan and her 12-week scan.
The excited mom revealed thatdue to having a cesarean sectionand dilating to 10 cm in her previous pregnancy, the doctors “treat that as a caution that you could possibly have preterm labor.”
“It’s very uncommon but it does happen,” Brownlee said before explaining that as a precaution, the medics have to check her cervix “to see if it’s all closed and how it should be.”
Stating that her first cervix check went well, Brownlee revealed she would have another check in four weeks.
