20 Honest Tips for First Time Moms // WHAT I WISH I KNEW
17 weeks pregnant. Only 19 years old and newly married. My husband and I got married and chose to have kids right away knowing that we were absolutely not ready for it but that no one ever really is ready and you just have to dive in and do it. People tried to say everything they could to scare us out of getting married and to scare us out of having kids this young, but we’ve found that marriage truly is the most beautiful and joyful thing, and I’m sure having a baby will end up being just as wonderful. I’m so excited for this little one!!
All the best mama, wishing you a safe delivery when the time comes❤😊
“You’re never going to get any sleep again” and “you think you’re tired now, just wait” is all I hear all day every day and it’s honestly so heartbreaking. My husband and I have dreams to continue camping and traveling and everyone makes it seem like we can’t have that life anymore and I just refuse. Our daughter is half of each of us, right? So why shouldn’t she be involved in everything we do, too? My sister didn’t take drives further than two hours away until her kid was 5 years old. While my husband and I are moving across the world when our daughter will be 4 months. (Military)
I just refuse to let these remarks rule our lives.
I am pregnant after a several months of infertility meds. So whenever someone says how hard it is after childbirth, I can't help wondering how miraculous it was for me to get pregnant at all. Thank you for all the positive tips. Best of luck for the second one!
Congratulations!!! I’m so so happy for you. When I tried to get pregnant it was the most discouraging thing when I saw negatives. You’re going to be a wonderful mamma!
@@makaylaboren445 Aww thank you so much!!
i dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know a trick to log back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb forgot the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me.
Wow, congratulations!! I'm sorry the way I worded things offended you. Not my intention at all! You're absolutely right! I truly believe all pregnancies and births are miraculous.
@@margaretmatheny No no, you don't need to say sorry at all. In fact you have uploaded one of the most uplifting videos about new parenthood. It's really hard to focus on the positives when people around me keep hanging on to the negatives. I am so excited to meet my little one and best of luck to you too!
“Motherhood is what you make of it”. I love how you said this! It is all about our mindset!
It really is! Thanks for the encouraging words!
Why do they say “ready for no sleep?” I already can’t sleep with this big belly 😂
Girl same
Exactly! And having to pee every 2 hours
SAME. i havent been able to sleep since the first month that i got pregnant, im like at least now ill have some company once my baby is born 😂
I've never been a good sleeper even before getting pregnant 😆
Girl for real. I feellikd it's the training before the baby come
I watched this when I was pregnant. Came back to watch after having baby boy and everything you said is 100% true!
❤❤❤
This video was very comforting!! I'm 33 weeks pregnant and let me tell you, I'm scared of post-pregnancy. I love the part where you mentioned that people talk about your relationship being basically over once the baby comes. My husband and I have a tight bond and honestly I don't see us distancing once the baby's here because this is all we ever wanted... but of course... people got to my head. This video got me back on track on my positive vibes and I feel so relaxed!
I'm so so so glad to hear! If I'm being completely honest, my husband and I got closer post-baby. There was just a deeper, more meaningful love that we both had for the child and for one another. Not everyone will have the same experience, but that was ours
While it can be an overwhelming time it’s so rewarding. Take it one day at a time, honour how you feel and spoil yourself loads. Keep your boundaries tall and strong and enjoy your new family dynamic 🌹
When you said “welcome to the club, mama” I immediately teared up! Ughhh all these pregnancy emotions. Thank you for this video💕
Ugh same 🥺
SAAAMMMMEEE! LOL I was like...OMG!.. Hey that's me.. I'm gonna be a mama! 😭🥰.
THANK YOU, I could cry... first time mom at the age of 33. People really do make parenthood seem so terrifying the moment you announce you're pregnant, when it's too late to go back. I am slow to accept change and I know that about myself, which is why it's taken me so long to be ready for children, I needed to hear these things. I know in my head that I can do this and we will be fine, but man the encouragement I got from this video really helped.
How are things for you? I am currently 18 weeks pregnant and I also have a hard time with change. Despite stocking up on supplies and my growing belly, the fact that I'm having a baby still hasn't really hit me in a lot of ways I feel, it probably won't until he's here! Curious how your experience has been, hope all is well!
@@AmallieGames we are doing great! I won’t lie, those first few months were tough in a lot of ways, I was induced after being rear ended on a highway exit and labored for three days as my body just wasn’t ready to give birth yet, the epidural was worth it for me! As a result of the accident, I didn’t have a car the whole first month, which was tough. After a 5-day hospital stay, I was very tired coming home, I didn’t expect that the baby wouldn’t sleep all night, but I later learned that is normal! So if it happens for you guys it is ok and you’re not doing anything wrong! Remind yourself everyday, WE ARE LEARNING! That was so helpful for me. Something shifted around that 4 month mark, I loved my baby when he was born, but in the months that have followed, watching him understand that he loves me and all the milestones we’ve reached together… I finally understood the huge shift that is a mother’s love. It’s overwhelmingly wonderful, I would do anything for this kid! The other thing to know, the gross stories and scary sounding stories that people tell: those things you just handle one step at a time, you’re completely in the moment and you don’t really have time to think about anything other than the next step, you’ll reflect later and be like wow that was tough! And you’ll feel proud that you handled it, and that’s why people share those stories. Not to scare you. I still don’t think it’s very nice of them, but I understand from their perspective a bit more now. You have totally got this, momma. Take it one step at a time, one day at a time, it will be ok and you and baby and your partner are just learning. It turns out pretty wonderful on the other side. 💜
This is literally the number video out of the thousands I have seen so far that has eased my anxiety and given me a sense of relief omg! Thank you!! All the best for baby number two and congratulations on mama hood!!
Oh my goodness, that made my heart explode. I'm so happy it helped you. That was my exact intention. Honesty and encouragement! Wishing you the best!!
I was going to say the same thing !! The way most people describe having a baby it’s like going to jail or something. Always saying say goodbye to your friends, say goodbye to alone time with your husband, goodbye to sleep until they turn 18 . I truly believe it’s the reason I’m afraid to have a baby . I was looking for a video like this . THANK YOU !!!
Yes, also such a nice voice of a nice, honest person!
I love how straight to the point you are!! I don't have the patience to sit through an hour long video with a bunch of filler info.
Why does everyone try to frighten the crap out of expectant moms? I hate it!
Same!! Here to change that! I mean reading through all of these comments, everyone feels the same
I feel like it's some weird form of validation for mums who found things difficult to say 'oh, you just wait! HAH. It's going to suck!' as if that makes all the hard work and suffering of motherhood they endured needs recognising. I don't know. I have had it loads too.
@@rainbowdolly Such an interesting point!
@@rainbowdolly yes this has really been bothering me lately and getting under my skin. It’s like moms online are the gate keepers of being tired and miserable and are laughing at anyone who’s not a mom?
I got so frustrated that I started cutting them off and finishing their stupid sentences every time people tried to tell me same old negative stories. 😔
Finally realistic and positive advices ❤️ I needed that thank you
So welcome. Happy to help!
Yeah. Thanks!
Currently 15 weeks pregnant and I am so happy I found this video. Thank you for the positivity. I’ve been having so much fear and anxiety about being a first time mom (losing my freedom & career which I worked so hard for my whole life). Your video helped me feel more calm ❤️
Hope it's going well!
@@TheOrganizedPineapple yes! I just had my baby girl 2 weeks ago and I love her so much ❤️. Still recovering physically and adjusting mentally, but I’ve learned to take things one day at a time and slow down. One of my favorite things is watching my husband love being her dad. She has made both our lives brighter ☀️.
@@alessandrabenner6058 congratulations 🎉 I have 3 littles and my oldest is 11 ! None of these helpful things were around when I was having my babies. Glad they are around now.
I love this! I’ve been so nervous because of all the negativity surrounding postpartum. A lot of people tried to scare me when I got pregnant too about how terrible pregnancy is. They were SO wrong. I have loved my pregnancy, even when it’s been challenging or uncomfortable. You are so right! It’s all about your mindset. Go into pregnancy and motherhood with a positive and grateful attitude and you will have a positive and fulfilling experience!
I'm so glad you enjoyed and that it resonated with you. You've got it!!!
I absolutely LOVE being pregnant! With my first pregnancy, I thought I was some kind of freak because it was such a great experience for me. I was pregnant last spring, and it was starting out great again, so I thought, "Maybe not everyone always hates being pregnant." Unfortunately, I had a miscarriage and was devastated. I'm currently 25 weeks pregnant again, and I am SO happy and am enjoying being pregnant SO much again! I know a lot of women have a really rough pregnancy, and I feel for them, but I guess I'm just one of the blessed ones that really love being pregnant! ❤I
Thanks for the video. Im 31 weeks with my Miracle baby girl after 6 years of infertility. 💖I'm so excited but I am starting to get a little nervous. I just hope I can be the best mom ever to my girl 💕🤰☺
This eased my anxiety so much, it's just hard when my parents don't realize how much has changed since they had kids so I'm always hearing different ways to do things and it's incredibly stressful but I know now they're just trying to help from how they remember things
12 weeks first time pregnant here! This is so true! My dad just told me that baths for babies are absurd because in their times they bathed the baby in the sink. That’s the level. My parents are so stubborn and strong minded though, I’m quite afraid of them pushing on how to take care/raise the baby , because I hate having conflict with them. How did you handle it? Any tip please? 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I am a 48 year old grandma to be and I love this video> I recommended it to my daughter soon to be FTM. Love your honesty and positive attitude. Being a mom is awesome!
That's the sweetest thing! Thank you! Being a mom is SO awesome, I agree!
Wow this was SUCH a comforting video. You kept it so real and I love how you kept saying how empowering motherhood is. I really needed to hear this! Thank you!
Aw I'm so glad you found this page. That's exactly why I made it. Thanks for your encouragement, means so much!
"Motherhood is what you make of it" LOVE THAT ADVICE! ❤ I'm going to start telling people "I'm sorry YOU feel that way." And walk away when they say negative crap to me. I don't need that kind of negativity.
We tried to conceive for 14 months. My husband & I are about to celebrate 9 years together ❤ We're so excited to be parents. I know it won't be a walk in the park or all rainbow & sunshine... but I really don't think we will be as miserable as everyone makes it out to be. I feel like the joy of bringing our baby girl home will outweigh all the hard moments. 🥰
“It’s not a tired that’s ruining my life…” thank you for putting it that way. I’m 34 with my first and the tired is hard for me but putting it that way is so true and helped me place my feelings about being tired better. Thank you
I love this. Thank you for sharing. I’m 16 weeks with my first at 27 and being scared is definitely on my mind quite a bit. Your positive energy is so calming and helpful. I hope to be a strong mama like you!
Thank you for the boost of optimism! The “just wait” world we live does create fear!
I agree with the whole ‘people around you will freak you out’ thingy. Thank you for the reminder !
Absolutely! Thanks for being here!
So glad I found your channel! Currently 19 weeks pregnant and my anxiety is starting to go in overdrive with anticipation and not knowing what to expect. I love this video and it made me feel so much better! following you immediately and love these realistic, positive videos!!
Thanks for this video! I needed to hear so many of these things. I'm pregnant with our first and people''s stories are starting to scare me, and its so good to hear your view. Love the line, "If you're negative, it will be a negative experience." Holding on to that one! I'm naturally pretty positive about the whole thing, and I get the sideline glance of "just you wait" from many people for being that way. Glad to hear I'm not crazy!!
Thank you Margaret for all your positivity, very inspiring and gives me courage for my first coming in 7 months! 👶🏻😊❤️
I love your video. I am 4 months pregnant now and I super relate with your 1st tip. Dont let people scare you. This is something I've been dreading about but listening to you kind of made me feel better. ❤️
currently 38 weeks pregnant and i found your video this is so calming brought me away from pressure and anxiety
I'm due in a couple of weeks and you are the only person who seems to feel the same way as me about not wanting to ask for help and other people wanting to hold the baby. It's made me feel so much better knowing that somebody else feels the same way! Xxx
Yessss, gosh it was so hard for me. But in the end, they are offering to help because they want to! Still have to remind myself of that!
The other things needed for baby listed at 3:40 made me smile:) “you get the idea”😂
I love how your video is not only very comforting for all the new moms, but also straight to the point. I see all those 30 minutes long videos for the same topic, and man, ain't nobody has this much time!
hahaha, I feel you! Thanks for these kind words!
This is SO helpful!! With the guidance of Mamas like yourself and my super gracious boss who has 4 girls of his own, I’ve been nothing but calm throughout these first 3 weeks. Thank you!
This may be the best RUclips video I've seen on new motherhood and at 28 weeks let me tell ya, I've watched thousands 🤣 thank you for your positivity!
I'm saving this to watch again, amazing video! I'm so fed up with the horror stories people tell, I mean the whole "it is what you make of it" advice I've really started to use in my life and it really does change things.
I'm so happy you found hope in this video. Wish you could see my face, means so much! Wishing you the best
I’m 24 and barely 7 weeks. I’m so excited and this really helped ease my anxiety 🥺❤️
So fun! Do you know if it’s a boy or girl?
I loved this video, such a light hearted presentation and so many helpful tips. We're expecting our first and this made me really pumped for his big debut
This is one of my favorite videos I have watched in my entire pregnancy, and I have watched so many haha. Everything you said, and the way you speak is so calming and true. Thank you so much!!! This video I’m saving to watch over and over.
I love the idea of putting baby to sleep late! It makes so much more sense, having the morning free to get stuff done, especially if I don’t sleep until 23h/midnight anyways. Great tip, going to try it
I'm nearly 7 weeks and your advice is giving me life! Thanks for sharing. 🥰
True simple and clear. 3 weeks before baby comes! Thanks for the insight and this is one of the few videos where I haven’t felt “pushed” to buy something but it was clear counsel and direction.
Thank you so much for your positivity! I stress daily with all the horror stories I read online. I too think how my partner and I will cope with life and being together in just a few more months when our princess arrives! It’s scary but you put my heart at ease knowing we’re gonna need eachother and love eachother more during this beautiful experience. Thank you for this video i really needed it today. and good luck with baby #2 ❤️
I feel like the thumbs up is not at all enough to say how much I loved your video and your attitude!) You are so wise and so right) I found myself smiling during the video and I keep smiling afterwards)
I have two more months before meeting my previous one ❤️
And if I’m getting nervous or unwell I remind myself that my body is doing such an incredible magic, and I need to trust it. Thank you for all your advices and for the feeling of ease you gave 🥰🌹
I appreciate how direct and to the point this is!
Such a wonderful video! My husband and I were so anxious when we found out we were pregnant but we are feeling more at peace as this little ones due date rolls around!
God bless y’all 🥰🙏
Aw, that makes me so happy. Deepest congratulations! It's the most fulfilling job you guys will do great. God's got you! thanks so so much
Thank you! Finally a useful positive video ❤️ I’m pregnant with twins due in October 2021 and I’m pretty excited 😍 I’ll have this video saved when they come 😁❤️
I watched this before and after having my baby and the words are soooo much more meaningful and relatable now that I have my baby haha thanks so much for the encouraging video!
This is the best video I’ve watched to ease my thoughts and anxiety levels about this new chapter in my life. Currently 40 weeks and 1 day 😁
This was so helpful!! I’m having my first baby in 5 months and I’m so excited but so nervous at the same time. This brought me a sense of relief and I’m glad you shared these tips!
Ah congrats!! You’re going to do great, trust your instincts, they will kick in dear♥️. That’s exactly why I shared this, hoping to bring relief that I never had. Best wishes to you!!
This was so encouraging. Thank you for being so positive and sharing this information! Congratulations on the new baby!!
Thanks!! I'm so glad you found it encouraging. That's exactly why I made it!
Honestly I’m super glad I found this video I feel so much better about being a first time mom 💗
I really enjoyed this video, thank you. All the tips to the point, with no extra info, and positive attitude.
This is extremely helpful, thank you so much 🥰 I’m 14 weeks pregnant and so excited to be a mommy.
Thank you so much for this video ❤ I’m 13 weeks and this is my first little one, so much going through my mind and this helps a TON !! 😊
This may be my favorite new mom advice video.
Thank you so much for sharing! I too have been freaking out because of all of the negative comments. Thank you for the realistic and positive approach. I feel so much better and confident in being a new mom soon.
Your video is filled with positivity. I am 34 weeks now and first time mom freaking out with mixed feelings. This video is really helpful. Thanks for the wonderful tips.
I'm so glad to hear this.
Just found your channel. You’re so lovely and helpful. I love how you get to the point but also share some extra bits to get to know you and your family more.
And I love your editing style in this!💞

Thank you sm for this video. I feel so reassured and confident. I sometimes get so scared. But i know deep down everything will be okay. Thank you for these tips. Love your energy, your way of thinking❤️
This is such a beautiful, empowering and calming video, thanks so much 💗💗
Absolutely. So so happy to calm anyones nerves. Thanks for your encouragement too!
Love this! Thank you for your honesty and positivity about how marriage can flourish with a new baby - this is the most helpful video I've seen, and there are a LOT. Haha! I appreciate it!
Wow, those words are so kind and encouraging. Thank you! That's exactly why I'm here, just to be an honest voice on this platform, so that truly means so much.
So many first time moms gets anxious because of what other women tells them.. I was one of those first time moms. watching your video made me feel even more excited to share my experiences❤️❤️❤️very informative..
All first time moms you got this!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ah this is so kind and encouraging! Thanks for being here!!
This video is so very helpful! Thank you for taking your time to make this.
Yes, no problem! Thanks for watching
Oh man, that's so good to hear, I love that! "motherhood is what you make of it"
All I have heard from people is negative things like our marriage is gonna be over etc.
But so good to hear! I'm excited!
suuuuch a good video! I have had three and i love all of your tips here. Basic but i wish i knew all of this before my kids!
What a helpful video - You made each point well and succinctly! Thank you!
Such a sweetheart!! I recently found out im expecting again after a miscarriage & its all starting to hit me. Needed to see this!❤❤❤
Best vid I‘ve seen to prepare myself for my child. Thank you so much for your positivity! It gave me so much courage and now I can’t wait. I will watch this video again and again in the months to come. ❤️
Ah, so touched to hear this! Thanks for the kind words. I'm so glad it brought you peace!!
Congratulations guys for the two beautiful babies and one another! This video is awesome and as a fist time mom of a two weeks old baby boy I can say it contains the most important of what is important. Take it easy and don’t be hard on your self. Motherhood and parenthood as a whole is the most amazing human experience there is, the epitome of love incarnate and just as you did not have to force anything to be pregnant, Nature’s got you covered with the most insane instinctual wisdom. Just create room for it to flourish!
I cannot tell you how much I relate to this video. I don’t understand the point of scaring a new mom. Thank you for all of the advice!!! I really loved this video (and I have watched a lot) 🥰
Ah, so happy to hear. Thank you for sharing those kind words too!
I just want to say thank you for this video! Im a minimalist with a green heart & I wanted to learn something about this new journey I'm going on. You're tips were fabulous & wonderfully helpful, you were to the point & enjoyable to watch. Thank you so much for putting you & your heart felt ideas out there to the world 🥰
Thank you. This is my first pregnancy and I'm really nervous but this made me feel a lot better!!
Im having my first and this past week has been rough.This really calmed me down
I love your calm, positive attitude. Thank you!
Congratulations for your second little one on the way.
I had my first baby almost 2 months ago now and am still in the learning curve of accepting that family and friends are genuinely happy to help.
I feel the need to do as much s I can myself, accepting that help tho builds relationships.
Letting people hold my baby too for the first few weeks was so hard, i didn't want to be one of those overprotective mums tho so made myself accept others hold her and I'm so glad I did too
Trusting your mum instinct is so on point too and needed, all we want as mums is to do the best for our child and trusting our Instinkt is like an inbuilt internal GPS it's such an uplifting feeling, makes you feel more trust in yourself I find, so empowering
I'm 24 years old pregnant with my first baby! This video has relived a bunch of stress for me! Thank you so much!
Ah, I'm so so so happy to hear this. It's exactly why I made this video. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent advice! Really wish I had some of this info many years ago ❤️
I'm 14 weeks and a FTM. I'm so excited but have been nervous about some things. This video is a godsend, thank you. I'll be saving to re-watch with my husband a couple times 😊
I love this, thank you! It took us two years to get pregnant and we’re so excited but everyone has been giving their opinion and some comments do sound scary! And I’ve been an infant nanny for years so definitely know more about infants than others, and still feel unprepared. Thanks for the tips!
Awesome tips!! And honestly... the best advice you gave was in your demeanor 😂 Like, you were keepin it real and also letting the whooooole process have its own kind of happiness. Thanks a bunch for the video!
RUclips recommended☺️. I’m 15 days pp and really could use tips for my new normal 🌞💕 thank you for the video!
This is one of the best videos I have watched about motherhood. You have certainly put me at ease. Thank you 😍 thanks for the positive vibes.
Aw, thank you for the kind words!!!
27 weeks currently and I've been getting really anxious about the shopping and taking care of a baby without having any experienced person directly around me. This video has really helped me calm down. Thanks a lot.
29 weeks, second time mom, I had my mother helping me with my first and till today I still think I would rather do it alone. You have your own thoughts and ideas for how to take care of baby, and mom did not really agreed with it, so we argued, like a lot. Doctors will help you with advises and , of course, internet. Just do not trust every information 😉
@@anastasiakholod2222 I agree with that, the older generation sometimes tends to be quite rigid in their ways and some of them are unnecessary and wrong.
Hi Margaret! You're funny, I enjoyed your video! I appreciate your realism. I am 4 months in. I look forward to watching more!
Thanks for saying the first part of the video about negative vibes. Made me rethink how I’ve been feeling ❤️
I'm so so happy to hear that. The mind is everything!
Saving this video so my wife and I can watch it again once baby is here. 3 more weeks ❤️
So much helpful info !!! Thank you so much 😭🙏🏼
Due in 2 weeks and everyone around me is freaking me out. They're telling me to live as much as I can in these 2 weeks. Makes me depressed. :(
No! Don't listen to them
Their experience is not your experience.. you are a different person.. different partner different baby ... it’s a like she said it’s all what you make it :) it will be a learning curve for sure but you’ll be just fine!! Have a safe and healthy delivery !
@@christinetavazoei8714 So well said!
I hate that, don’t listen to people. Enjoy your pregnancy and your baby, and don’t be afraid to shut down any kind of negative comments.
@@tinyoddfable Yes x 100.
The most lovely video I’ve seen so far. Thank you.
This video helped me so much you have no idea! Just the positivity and empowerment of it. Everyone is SO negative! I am trying to decide if I want to try for a baby and like I know I want to and I know I will love it but everyone always is so negative about having a baby! I looked for a positive pov and I found it. Thank you!
Welcome 🥺I'm so so glad and grateful I could be of help to you!
Such a great video, you really made me feel hopeful about this journey 🥺😭😭😭 I wish I could give you a hug! Thank you
Thank you for mentioning perfume and air fresheners. This needs to be talked about more in terms of everyone's health but especially babies!
I’m not even pregnant but I can’t wait to have a child of my own someday 💖
haha, that's the sweetest thing. Thanks for watching!!
Ohhh your video made me feel so much nicer! Thanks for all the tips. xx
I am so going to recommend this video to anyone who has their first baby! Mine is 4 months now and I agree with everything you said here!
thank you for your optimism and positivity! really good video!
Absolutely. Thanks for your encouraging words!
You are so wise! This is one of the best advice videos I’ve seen yet (and I’ve seen hundreds by now- due with my first in 6 weeks 😆) You are right about staying positive- our mindset is so important. Feelings are like weather, always changing.
Those are such kind words. Wow, thank you. Feelings are like weather--so well said!!
Omg i love this video, i feel so at ease now and im really excited to be a mother. thank you so much. your tips are amazing.
You should see the smile on my face. That right there is why I'm here. thank you!
