What We Wish We Knew Before Our First Baby: Postpartum, Newborn Realities & Baby #3 Lessons

Описание: No one prepares you for what motherhood actually feels like. In this episode, we’re sharing everything we wish we knew before our first baby — now that baby #3 is officially happening.

From postpartum shocks, newborn chaos, sleep delusion, pelvic floor recovery, feeding struggles, relationship tension, mom identity, mental load, and everything that changes between baby #1, #2, and #3… we’re going all in.

If you’re pregnant, TTC, a first-time mom, deep in postpartum, or planning baby #3, this episode is full of honesty, humor, and the real truths we learned the hard way.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What we thought motherhood would be (and why we laugh now)
• Postpartum realities no one tells you
• Newborn expectations vs real life
• Breastfeeding truths
• Relationship changes after baby
• What baby #2 taught us
• What actually matters with a newborn
• Mom guilt, identity shifts & emotional breakdowns
• Mental load rage
• What we’re NOT stressing about with baby #3
• Things we’d tell our pre-baby selves now
• The list of “things we wish we knew”

Who this video is for:

✔ First-time moms
✔ Pregnant moms
✔ TTC couples
✔ Postpartum moms
✔ Moms of toddlers
✔ Moms pregnant with baby #3
✔ Anyone looking for raw motherhood honesty

If you’ve ever said:

“This is nothing like I expected.”
or
“Am I the only one feeling like this?”

You’re in the right place.
