I love the phrase snap forward! I had my first baby at 33, and I'm 35 now! I am 100lbs down 2 years later! Believe me, baby weight will fall off. You will be just fine. You look beautiful and welcome to the club momma!
You will be a great mother. One thing I've learned about children as a mom of three is that they don't require as much as we think they do. We want to buy everything under the sun and they don't want any of that especially while very young. We can buy a $200 toy and they will have more fun playing with the box it came in. Children are also very resilient. Sometimes, as parents, we are very hard on ourselves, but the children are content and happy. I'm a 46 year old mother of 3 sons, ages 28, 24 and 20. About 2 years ago I was having a moment and felt like I needed to apologize to my children. I am not a very affectionate person so I figured that I never truly expressed to my sons how much I love them. Well, all of us were together, so we talked about it. They all told me that they never had a doubt growing up that I loved them. They said I showed them that I loved them by my actions. They said that I provided for them what other children around them didn't have. That something was a safe space to talk open and honestly. My bed was the place that the best conversations happened. I said all of that to say as long as a child has parents who truly love them, a safe place to sleep, food and clothing they will be fine. Enjoy the ride
I actually went through postpartum depression. At the time I was unaware(totally in a fog and don’t remember much about that time frame) I remember binge watching the entire series of Frazier🤷🏾♀️ my husband and I at the time thought it was normal for me to want to be alone. It wasn’t until he was speaking to his mentor and was told that I was going through postpartum depression. My husband stepped up in an amazing way and helped me through that time. With even making/ encouraging me to get up to shower, we went for walks, he set up lunch dates with friends, etc, all while taking care of our baby fresh out of the NICU by himself until I could. I love and appreciate him for that everyday.
I can't wait for more of this. My baby is 3 months old, and I'm 37. I'm very happy I'm in a place to love on her without the stress of finance. That's why I waited. Also, I found my husband in my 30s.😅
I've had two c sections so far, most recently last month with my daughter. My first pregnancy at age 38 I didn't workout the entire pregnancy but this time I worked out the entire pregnancy and I definitely feel it helped with my recovery and my motivation to continue being active in the postpartum stage. I've found pregnancy and postpartum TV RUclips channel very helpful with postpartum exercises especially after having a c-section
My favorite thing about having a baby during Covid times was no visitors 😂I didn’t have to worry about anyone asking to come visit. Hearing your story is very inspiring. I’m a single mom, but I do hope to have a husband and a child within the context of a healthy, loving relationship.
You are a blessing to this 69 almost 70 year old black woman. No I am not about to have a baby but you bring back memories and thoughts of those moments. Thank you for getting me to think back of moments of good times.
If you feel like something is wrong say somthing. I was discharged 4 days after my C-section. But about 4hrs after baby and I settled in. Hubby ran a few errands. He got back home, I had to be rushed back to the hospital. I had a leaky heart valve( left ventricle). My hubby was so lost, but I told him, God and the doctors will take care of me, you just take care of my boys( chris was 6, Jordan was 4 days old). Jordan is 19 now. I'm just saying look out for self and say something if anything feels akward or out of place.
Awwww I remember her adoption story and her adopted mom back in the day! So proud of God’s blessings in her life! ❤ My kids are grown but the self care and self worth messages are great reminders for us women out here!!! So at 47 with grown kids let me get my snap forward on!!!! 🎉❤
Definitely give yourself Grace. Due in 4 weeks so these videos are life girl lol. Thank you for sharing. Love how attentive and the structure and support you and your husband provide. Have each other's back!!! ❤️ ❤❤❤
Shoot, I have baby blues but ain’t got no baby….😂 I’m older, and have no children, and it’s often scary to me thinking about taking care of another person. It doesn’t help that I’m an educator (high school), so I see firsthand what happens when there isn’t a strong parental foundation. I’m running out of time ya’ll….so I really have to decide if this is something I want to do. Thanks for sharing Dr. Nina! Hunter is beautiful!
Dr. Aunty Nina, as always, I love your transparency and vulnerability. It gives me such comfort and joy knowing that you are doing what is best for you. I took in all that you said. I love that you are choosing who should be around your child in the spiritual aspect. Also, yes, you may not be able to protect them from everything. However, as long as they are in your home, you can control what takes place in that home. Gods richest blessing to you and the family, as you take on this next chapter in the story called life.

Thank you for your videos!! They always give me a great perspective and motivation. I'm preparing my mind and my body for motherhood. I'm 36, and I've always dreamed of becoming a mom. The older I get, I feel discouraged, but your videos always remind me it's possible.
I love your story. I wasn't worried about you and hubby about you guys at all. I know that you're going to do well. I'm so proud of you guys in your parenthood. You're on the right track.
Congratulations, Dr. Nina! So happy for you and your husband, and that he’s a hands-on and supportive partner in this new family process. Blessings, Beautiful!♥️

Your baby is gorgeous and such a blessed little girl. You are such a wonderful mother. I am so proud of you and your husband. You have taught so many and will continue to.
I'm so happy for your journey into motherhood ❤ with my 1st baby I was absolutely clueless and went through all the drama, including ppd. Having our 2nd baby last year, I knew right away to get in front of the possibility by scheduling therapy sessions ahead of birth! It makes such a difference when you can anticipate. I thank my past self so much for taking care of my future mental state ❤
Wow i needed this information 8 years ago.. i was a total wreck and didnt no why 😢😢 lack of support i wasnt sleeping my mental health was very bad i didnt no i had post partum depression and anxiety i thought something else was wrong with me before my doctor diagnosed me.

@@jd2024- I lost an extra 30lbs, I gained 70lbs my whole pregnancy 😮 breastfeeding for two years now I think had a part in it.
