My husband and I are blessed to be expecting our second baby boy next month (14 months after the birth of our first), and the “just wait” comments do not come across as positively as some people probably mean them to be. D love to hear “just wait until they say their first word, just wait until they can kiss you goodbye”, instead of “just wait until they’re both sick and puking all over your stuff”. As parents, we all know these things deep down. No need to make it negative. You are doing and looking GREAT and I’m so happy for you! “Just wait” until that baby girl says “mama” for the first time ❤
I just had my second baby 6 weeks ago, 14 months after the birth of my first as well!
Gotta say, I love this age gap. Thought it would be way worse than it's been, first bub is too young to understand the change so he has adapted so easily to the newborn. Hope your birth goes smoothly. ♥️
Mac hang in there till around 4 months. It’s like everything clicks. Baby will entertain herself a little and be a happier baby which makes happier mommy. Smiles are so cute to.
You are killing being a new Momma Mac!!! I am happy for you that your 6 week postpartum appointment went well. You both are amazing parents and are doing GREAT!!
8 weeks post partum here! And I agree that nothing can truly prepare you for this and for me personally nothing would resonate or register for me until I was experiencing it myself. It’s been so great to speak with other moms after the fact at all stages and exchange our experiences - all to reinforce that there can be similarities but everyone’s journey is so unique and different that it wouldn’t have helped me to get a “play by play” beforehand for things that may not necessarily apply to me! What a journey it has been though, thanks for sharing.
Can’t believe regular providers have you wait 6 weeks postpartum to check in😮 my midwife came every week for 8 weeks to my house to check on me and baby. I feel like that’s so needed in that time❤
Working out post partum is so different because you have a baby to think about! I’ve really enjoyed the Moms into Fitness program. She has pre and post natal, plus a lot of other content. Her workouts are quick and so effective! I have 8 children and have been so grateful to have stayed in great shape to keep up with this rambunctious crew and still feel my best.
I kinda hate the 6 week postpartum check up. It feels so anticlimactic after the roller coaster of pregnancy and birth. A mother just went through SO much that it feels strange to just be dismissed from care.
Annie is a beauty, congratulations!
I’m so glad that your 6 week appointment gave you some closure on the whole birth experience! 💕 The new parents being more efficient is so true! It’s like I know I have 30 minutes or less to get things done at a time so I have to prioritize what is really important 😂 you’re such an amazing mom and all your content is just a breath of fresh air 💕🥰
Whoa it’s been a year!? 😮😅 It does feel like it’s been two months! 😂 My baby will soon be six months 💙 Time does fly when you are having fun!
Thank you for normalizing the postpartum experience is not entirely a joyful experience. I just gave birth myself for the second time and god the hormonal crash is just as intense this time as it was the first time! Cannot bond with my baby for the life of me. It's reassuring to see that I'm not alone in this struggle...
Every birth has an original and unique story whether Mom is a newbie or delivered a dozen. Your attention to detail may have imposed ideas in your brain. The best thing is Annie is here, not a dream, but a certainty. You meet the challenge and processed the procedure like a champ. Time will help you fade out some of the unexpected feelings and the joy that motherhood will give you is undeniable. Relax and begin building stories with Jack and Annie. At the gym, remember YOU ARE A CREATOR BUT enter the room as a beginner. It will all return better than you can imagine. Lots of hugs.
You're such an inspiration and just hearing you is so calming. Blessings
My daughter is 8 months old and I’ve made it my mission to avoid the “just wait” comments to my friends who are pregnant or newly postpartum. I’ve just tried to cheer them along and keep the excitement high.
Glad you are doing okay. God bless your family 🙏🏾 Love you guys 🩷
I wouldn’t have listened if anyone warned me ahead of time! Actually my SIL had her baby in May, had very normal sleep deprivation and PPD, and I STILL thought it wouldn’t happen to me. Nothing can prepare you, you’re absolutely right! And I actually felt emotionally worse after my 6 week appt, which I didn’t expect. Babies tend to be fussiest after that point which was hard on me. Hopefully the same didn’t happen to you and you’re feeling good. One day at a time with this crazy phase of life!
Glad you're doing well! As far as hearing others experiences, I think it depends. I'm 9 weeks pregnant tomorrow so I know it's super early for me with everything I'll go through with pregnancy and motherhood. I enjoy hearing from those that I can relate to with each stage or the info I seek out myself, which is why I enjoy watching videos like yours. I think it's the unsolicited comments that are kind of annoying. Like I'm due in August. I'm very well aware that I'll be going through the discomforts of late pregnancy in the heat of the summer. I really don't need people to tell me that. It's not like I'm trying to live in delusion, as if it's all going to be sunshine and rainbows. I just feel those comments serve no purpose so why say it...
I definitely think there's something to be said for being a little more realistic in how we talk about pregnancy, birth, and post-partum in the culture in general (and I do believe it varies across countries and cultures too, a lot of places aren't purely excitement and congratulations around pregnancy). That said, I'm totally with you, I just don't think most women are going to be in a place to hear warnings about postpartum, especially women who have struggled to get pregnant.
Glad the appointment went well and made you feel better in the end!
Loving that our first babies are two weeks apart because it’s so real for me watching your stuff more than ever. And I hated the “how are you feeling” question. I had an emergency c section and complications, plus I was just sooo tired… how do you think I am?! Also people asked “are you getting any sleep?” And it would break me. Because no, I’m not!! Duh!!
Happy New Year🎉 Hugs from Houston ❤
Happy New Year, Mac, Jack and Annie 🎉
I’m 6 months pregnant and honestly haven’t really thought too much about the postpartum hormone crash. Thank you for sharing your story. I’m definitely going to educate myself on it now. I am curious if it’s something you can actually prepare for or if it’s something I will just need to surrender to and deal with when it comes.
I’m all for getting the full truth, I like to mentally prepare lol
I honestly think that PP would have been a breeze for me if I’d had a good support system around me - mine was poor to average which gave a lot of anxiety and stress, especially around visits and the holidays. But waking up 100 times a night and having to deal with baby crying? This part I could handle. Why do people feel intent on making a PP mum’s job harder than it needs to be? I will never forget the way people have behaved with me and my baby.
I'm 2 weeks post partum for baby number 11. I went on a walk and was SO slow it wasn't even really walking. I was....stepping haha!
There should be at least some fore warning; to be aware that the hormone shift is drastic and be aware that you don’t have to endure without being able to seek help, that there are options available to ease it.
I feel the same! I just felt so wildly unprepared for what postpartum can look like for a lot of women
I’m 10 weeks postpartum and in Scotland, my 6 week check up was done as part of my baby’s 6 week check up and was literally a ‘how are you doing?’. No examination or literally ANYTHING, and I had a freaking episiotomy!! Feel just completely alone and not a clue what to do going forward, like do I just assume everything is okay?! Also, the squat thing is legit, I stupidly squatted right down toddler style and my knees/shins have been agony ever since… This was like a month ago 🙈
I’m in Wales and I was going to leave the same comment 😂 I had a C-section and the Dr didn’t even look at the scar, just asked if I thought it was OK. Asked me whether I was feeling depressed and that was about it 🤷🏻♀️. I genuinely thought there would be some sort of physical examination for me.
I’m glad my provider didn’t as everyone is so different and my experience was completely different than yours. Had they told me what could happen it would have unnecessarily made me nervous and anxious.
❤
I'm so scared of postpartum depression this is my first baby and I'm so worried that i won't get to enjoy her because i will be having postpartum anxiety and depression. I'm not sure if i will get it but considering i have dealt with anxiety and depression my whole life i will probably have to then too
❤️❤️❤️👋😁
