First off, I just wanted to say pregnancy is a journey and different for every women.

It is such a scary thing, worrying all the time if there's something wrong or if something will go wrong.

On top of that getting ready for the baby, clothes, crib, bottles. Its stressful and it can add up a lot of money.

Thinking if you are going to breastfeed or do formula. FED IS BEST. Don't be sad if breastfeeding doesn't work out. Formula fed is good as well. No shame. There are plenty of HEALTHY babies who are ONLY formual fed

( like myself being adopted) and I'm healthy.

I

f you have Postpartum depression, seek help, there is no shame. Hormones are all over the place, maybe you need medication and you can't breastfeed.

Don't be frustrated.

Don't be sad if you don't bond with your baby right away.

Us mothers need to take care of ourselves to take care of our babies.

Birth is terrifying,

But I just want to say, BIRTH IS BIRTH at the end we will have our babbies.

Vaginal birth, maybe you will have tearing, or an episiotomy, or shit yourself. IT IS NATURAL

You decide natural or with medication. Don't do anything you are not 100% sure of.

Home or hospital, whatever makes you feel comfortable

Circumcised, or natural?

C- sections, WE STILL GIVE BIRTH

we all go through Postpartum, bleeding, clots, body looking weird ( OUR BODIES CREATED A HUMAN, don't feel ugly, we are beautiful). Leaking breast milk, pumping, mastitis, formula making. Bodies are hurting everywhere. Hemorrhoids.

Changing diapers, crying, fussing, explosive poop, peeing on you, trouble latching, colic.

You will be frustrated, but be patient.

Walk around with your baby, rock them, but your baby on your chest.

We need to feel human after birth,

Shower when you can, force yourself to

get out of bed, have little snacks near your bed. Have a comfy spot to feed and cuddle your baby. Drink a lot of water, make premade meals or buy some.

Take naps or rests, turn off the tv, get off your phone, just lay there.

Take walks outside even if it's just standing outside for a minute.

Who cares if you look like a hot mess. !!

Put on those tank tops, granny panties, sweats, oversized shirts, diapers that are long, hair up looking crazy.

"Put on those mom clothes"

Feel comfortable! Don't exhaust yourself.

If you have help TAKE IT WHENEVER.

If your a single mom, we are just as amazing.

Baby is in the NICU ( I know how that is, it's scary but have faith)

At the end, we all want healthy babies

For those of you ladies who spend years trying to conceive, your time will come.

For those of you ladies who go through

<a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> even if it's not the way you wanted to get pregnant, you want a baby, go for it.

For those of you ladies who had abortions, you have a right to call yourself whatever you want "a mother"

For those of you ladies who have miscarriages, don't ever feel like its your fault. Our body's handle different things.

For those of you ladies that have had still borns, I pray that you will recover, you can grieve, cry, scream. You have right. You can be mad at the world, that is fine.

For those of you ladies who chose to put your baby up for adoption for whatever reason, you are still a mom.

For those of you ladies who didn't want to get pregnant and did, you always have choices, do what's best for you.

Having a baby is no joke, I mean it when I say you lose your freedom, money and more.

For those of you ladies who got left by your SO or a hook up, you will be sad and upset but you will be okay.

For those of you ladies who get treated badly by the father, please dont put up with that, you are your baby DESERVE better. Yes it's heartbreaking to be alone, dont put his name on the birth certificate, get child support.

dont put up with any abuse, all women should never be scared , mothers please dont put your child in danger, think of your baby.

For those of you ladies who are broke, there is help out there, take it

...

MOTHERHOOD is amazing,

There will be times when you have NO IDEA WHAT THE FUCK YOUR DOING, that is 10000000% fine.

Because you know why??? Babbies dont come with an instruction manual.

Eventually you and your baby will get into a routine

Don't let anyone shame you about how you take care of your baby.

Bottom line, we are amazing, motherhood is a journey, we all have a different story and life. We feel different emotions.

"You do you girl, handel your shit, be proud, and love your baby"

"Babbies dont need a perfect mom, they need a happy one"
