    I am so amazed that there are so short maternaty leaves in other countries. Here in Norway we have 54 weeks😍 I am super grateful for having so long time with my children, and would wish others to have the same opportunity

    Wow 12 weeks sounds tough to me. In Germany you can take up to 3 years, and get almost fully payed for 12 months or even longer if you are willing to take losses of your income...
    Love your videos!!!!!

      NadjaSings here in Canada we get 1 full year paid but can take up to 18 months with pay decrease. I can't imagine having only 12 weeks!!!!

      12 weeks is actually more than most ppl in America get. I took one week off which was my vacation time I had saved. We are so behind other countries. Most jobs here have no vacation days here let alone maternity leave so u don't even get paid. Plus paying all the OB & hospital bills. It's sad.

    • @Edbeatty91

      NadjaSings In America it varies by company, some 4 wks, 6 wks, up to usually 12 wks maximum.

      I'd never return this fast! Too soon after birth seems unfair

      @maisielb1517 7 років тому +2

      In england its 12 months for working mums if your a young mum and at school you get 12 weeks to split before and after birth so you really only get 10 weeks if you stay on till 38 weeks but if your babys late then your looking at maybe 8 weeks and you still have to have tutors coming to your house to work with you so you never actually get a break

    12 weeks Maternity leave, I couldn't imagine. I'm Canadian and we're lucky enough to get 12 months.
    Great tips!
    Girls night, yay! We definitely need those once in a while eh 😊

    • @MrsAnScarlett
      @MrsAnScarlett 7 років тому +8

      Me too. I'm from Poland and we have 12 months payed 80% of your salary (or 6 months payer 100%) and now I live in Germany, where is 14 months maternity leave payed 67% of your salary.

      Julie Bee man lucky y'all! it's so sad how short it is & I'm not even a momma yet 😭. 12 months is perfect. 😭

    • @cait.
      @cait. 7 років тому +2

      Omg I was thinking how she was so lucky to get 12 weeks!! A lot of women have to go back to work a week or two after giving birth here 😥

      Caitlin Smith a week or two!? Oh wow. What about women who has c-sections? I've had two and they're major surgery, you're not even healed after a couple weeks.

    I love your videos! I'm also on leave right now with a toddler and a 1 month old. I'd love to know what kind of a daily routine you have for yourself and the kiddos while your hubby is at work. Thanks for making great videos!

  • @georgianamecu7775
    @georgianamecu7775 7 років тому +2

    you are so inspiring! Most of youtube moms are stay at home, but it's nice to also work and stay active. Btw here in my country (Romania, Europe) we have 2 years of maternity leave. Love your videos!

  • @Bigtrucknerd
    @Bigtrucknerd 7 років тому +1

    Love this! Recently found out I'm expecting #2 and one thing I'm so glad I did to prep for maternity leave was freezer meals to throw in the oven or crockpot! Such a time saver when you have a little one attached to your chest with cluster feeds. I noticed your stroller, what kind is it? I couldn't tell if it was one for a toddler and infant or not. That's a good idea for a video, for whats worked with you having a toddler and newborn. Thanks for sharing!

  • @SimplyMel
    @SimplyMel 7 років тому +1

    Lovely video! Wishing you a smooth transition back to work Bri 💗
    My tip is, if you're new to your neighbourhood join your local mother's or playgroup. I joined a mother's group even though I was a second time mum and it was so nice to make mama friends in the area as we have no family near us 💖

  • @alejandramousa9316
    @alejandramousa9316 7 років тому +8

    What kind of stroller do you have? Maybe you can do a video on essentials or things we don't need. I just found out I'm pregnant with #2. My first is 7 years old now. Honestly, I thought we were done and I feel like I forgot everything. I'm super nervous to start over again but excited about a new baby!!!! Looking forward to seeing how you handle two kids.

  • @livislivin4164
    @livislivin4164 7 років тому +1

    I also think meal planning/prepping helps. Even if it is buying a few pizza gift cards to use once the baby/babies arrive, it can be a help! Having dinner delivered once in a while is fun for any other kiddos you might have and it usually is a smaller clean up for mama. :)

  • @kristinpummer2425
    @kristinpummer2425 7 років тому +3

    I would really love to see a video about your experience with lash extensions as a mom and how you take care of them. Can you wash your face like normal and remove eye makeup etc?

    • @ashn9793
      @ashn9793 6 років тому

      Kristin Pummer in my experience you have to be much more careful no oil products on or near your eyes you should brush them with a spooley each time you get them wet and try to keep that to a minimum no eye rubbing or mascara unless it's for use with extensions or only on the tips and don't sleep with your eyes mushed in the pillow lol

    • @prncessbaby16
      @prncessbaby16 5 років тому

      I saw another video that said to meal prep and freeze the food you aren't gonna eat in a timely manner . Just take 1 day a week to cook a bunch of different foods and freeze them or put them in the fridge.

    Can you make one about tips for having 2 little ones at home? I'm about to have my second and they will be similar in age as yours. I'm not sure how we will be able to handle them both. Did you make any changes to Landon's routine?

    I had a year off, then got pregnant during month 11 of mat leave and then only had to work9 and a half months to get another year off. I went back to work and after 3 months took 3 weeks vacation. It was great. Also no hospital bills in Canada and I had extra insurance through work so I had a private room.

    Great tips! Also, this is random but I love your approach on sponsorships. The products you choose are things I could actually see myself using and the way you talk about them seems so genuine. A lot of you tubers who do sponsored videos seem so fake and scripted. Enjoy the rest of your maternity leave!! 🙂 I'm from the Cleveland area as well. Hopefully our dang weather gets better soon and we get some sunshine!!

  • @nataliemeraz826

  • @OhSoKiaraaa
    @OhSoKiaraaa 5 років тому

    Women in America definitely need more time with there newborn. For the babies health & the mothers health. It would be great to have paid maternity leave for 6 - 12 months.

  • @karolinakocemba6291
    @karolinakocemba6291 7 років тому +7

    Jesus! 12 weeks maternity leave is CRAZY! How on earth is this possible in one of the richest country on the planet...well apparently.
    In England you get 9 months, although pay depends on your employer, and usually isn't great. Meanwhile all post-communist countries get at least 12 months full paid leave , including my country of origin: Poland 😉

    But you don't start your period while you're breast feeding (that what my mom told me at least..) so you won't need tampons but I'll bet pads for post partuum bleeding (didn't know this happens either)
