Top Things I Wish I Knew Before Becoming A Mother
Hi Annie
🤦🏽♂️
Boy wth
Thank you for this video! I currently am on my first baby and it’s been so so hard. I always wanted to have a big family but after this first kid I’ve been thinking about only have 2 kids now, so knowing that it probably won’t be as hard as it is now gives me hope.
It could be much easier to just be prepared & buy a pack of those disposable incontinence underpants in a size or two bigger than you'd normally need. Guaranteed to not leak everywhere. It's possible to make them last longer using pads with them. There's usually about 10 in a pack so you get enough for a few days at least. I even used to use those for sleeping in when having a heavy period.
wait what do the witch hazel pads do? genuine question sorry:(
Helps relieve the pain and keep it clean if I remember right.
It helps reduce pain and swelling!! It feels kind of cooling and comforting.
Yes exactly this!!
I feel like im the only one that wiped after giving birth i didn't like the feeling of the water in my who ha
I did both because I don't like not wiping but that peribottle felt so good on the stitches 😂
“ who ha “ loll but definitely sounds like me i dont like the whole bidet concept
@retaliationeffort2864 I had stitches too but I just didn't like feeling wet down there even though I knew I was clean I just didn't like it
@@faithgarden2955 same
I had a 4th degree tear... I couldn't bear the thought of toilet paper for at least a month
I wish these were around 40 years ago when my son was a baby. He was a terrible sleeper.
How about toddlers
They used to be made so there was a u shape so the diaper stayed below the cord. Now my son could pee right over the top of the diaper to aim exactly on the cord while simultaneously shooting poo out the top of the back of the diaper.... 🤨... the diaper would be all but clean and he needed a bath and his sleeper even had poop in the toes. Yeah, I switched to cloth diapers and we didn't have those issues anymore.
That is very impressive aim!!!! 😂 not fun to clean up that kind of a mess.
I was told not to put my baby on their tummy. 😊
That is absolutely correct for putting them to sleep! Back is safest. But when you are actively trying to calm them, putting them on their tummy while holding them or swaying like I was in short clip can help a lot and is perfectly safe.
These comments 💀 So dark lol
That baby looks like a grown man 😂😂😂 they look so funny when they’re first born
lol yes, he does look like a wrinkly old man 😂
I want one
Yes!! I agree 💯 This is great advice...🙏❤️🙏
Glad you agree!! ❤️👏🏻 hope it helps some new moms out there!
Gently circling their legs also helps alot and very gentel stomach massages (only after the naval os fully healed), for some caraway suppositories also help
Great tips - thanks for sharing!!
I had two premmie boys with this problem. A friend told me about a product called Wind Drops. Instant relief.
I haven’t tried those before but will keep in mind for my next baby - thanks for sharing !!
Awweeee that face at the end 🥹😢💜
I know - he was so uncomfortable and it’s heartbreaking to see them in discomfort. Thankfully it didn’t last too long ❤️
What’s a witching hour
Can you show us and not block it?
😂😂😂
Yea but not everyone has that kinda money to spend you know + the pre existing travelling and stay charges :)
pov: u dont read the text but look how long her face is and think her forehead is huge....
Shallow
There is a lot I could say to this but I choose to spread kindness in the world ❤️
@@mrs_annie_marieway to go Mrs Annie! ❤
that is ousttanding .
Glad you found it helpful!
Get some rosemary water on your hair 😊
Love the tip, I’ve never tried that! Thank you!
Patting the back also works .. traditionally thats how you burp a baby...
You also can use a warm compress on babies tummy. Also massaging tummy helps too😊
Love this! Thanks for sharing these tips!!👍🏻
Elvie costumer service definitely does NOT replace parts with no questions asked. I wanted to order a usb cord because mine arrived without one. I noticed that they did not sell the cords online anywhere that sells elvie pumps, not even their own website. So I contacted elvie about my issue. I had to show them where I bought it and proof that I indeed bought the elvie. Even with that they told me because I didn’t buy the elvie pumps off their website they couldn’t provide me with a usb cord. So I argued with them about how are they going to allow other places sell their products and not allow us costumers to go to elvie for replacement parts just because we bought our stuff else where. I even told them I wasn’t trying to get a free charging cord, I was willing to pay for it. After all the back and forth, they finally decided to send me 2 cords for my elvie pumps. Also just a heads up for those of you who have elvie pumps, the regular elvie pumps will NOT charge with just any usb charging cord. I went through 4 usb cords that I found around the house just to charge my elvies before I found the ones that would charge them. That’s why I contacted elvie so I wouldn’t have to go digging and trying to figure out if the elvie pumps were broken or if the chargers were the correct ones.
Only a second class millionaire understands spending time with those we love is what makes us rich.1st call millionaires spend so much more money trying to buy time , to spend on who and/or what they think they love.
My mother had 8. I didn’t ask about the transitions.
Yes, I bet she learned a whole lot through all those transitions. She must’ve been a pro by #8!
This is a great video. Thanks for sharing your perspective.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
I'm a mom of 6 grown children. I have to say going from 6 to 0 and becoming an empty nester has been the hardest adjustment.
🥺😭
Ahh I’m already dreading that transition. Thanks for sharing.
We stopped at 2, but all of the moms of 5+ kids that I know say 0-1 and 1-2 were the hardest.
Glad I’m not the only one! Thanks for watching ❤️
Currently expecting my 3rd but my daughters are 6 and almost 4, so I’m hopeful! 0-1 was sooooo hard - I was like you and didn’t have any mom community. All my friends were nowhere near having kids. So thankful for the community I have now!
Yesss the community (and knowing what to expect) makes all the difference. So glad you have community. Congrats on expecting your third ❤️ those will be great ages!
Soon to be mom of 4 as well. 0-1 was the hardest. 1-2 was pretty hard as well since they were super close on age. 2-3 was a breeze. We had a 3 and almost 5 year old and they were so helpful and excited about helping for the baby and being more independent so I can take care of him. Hoping for an easy time with #4, the youngest will be 2.5 but the older ones will be 5 and 7
Congrats on expecting your 4th - I’m so excited for you! And your kids ages will be somewhat similar to mine when I had my 4th…so nice to have somewhat helpful older kids. Best wishes to you on the rest of your pregnancy and transition to 4!
Thank you! I’m pregnant with my 4th baby :))
Ahhh congratulations!! Excited for you. I hope your transition to 4 was as much of a blessing as mine was ❤️
No one tells you how wrong it feels to walk away and go back to work. Live within your means and be a stay at home mom. Smaller house, happy life
I have to consider ages, age gaps, and personalities & needs. This helps me though. Will be transitioning to 4 this August God willing.
Yes, all of those things definitely make a difference. Congrats on soon to be #4!!! 👏🏻
I have 4 too. When I had my third I realized I had more kids than hands. Keeping some semblance of control over my growing brood had just become an all new challenge.
Ha yes, more kids than hands can be tough for sure-that was an adjustment for us too.
The hardest is going from 2 to 3. Now you're outnumbered. (I have eight.)
Oh my goodness…you are superwoman! Amazing. You are very blessed ❤️ And becoming outnumbered was definitely a challenge, I’m with you on that.
Is it like how it's easier for me to fall back asleep in the morning than go to bed at night?
Nuh uh
I don't know. I know that I'm being childish, and overdramatic but I wouldn't feel comfortable holding my child right there. Any tips?
You aren’t being over dramatic or childish! (There’s no such thing in this corner of YT ❤). It might be hard to tell in video but he’s cradled against my body, so it feels very secure. And you can use your 2nd arm to support for additional stability (as opposed to the patting/rubbing his back as I did in video). The biggest issue I have with this hold is once baby grows and gets heavier, and my arms get tired! 😂 but personally it’s felt secure and has been very effective for comforting baby when fussy.
@@mrs_annie_marie Thank you! I will definitely be watching your videos for more tips!
Glad to hear it - and let me know if you have any specific questions! Here to help ❤️
Hi I’m super anxious to make a purchase thank you for this video.. which elvie is this?
Choosing the right pump is a big decision and can be overwhelming due to the many choices, so it’s good you’re doing your research! This is the Elvie double electric pump (the original, not the Stride). The link to the exact product is in the video description if helpful. Let me know if you have any more questions as you make this important choice!! ❤️
Wonderful tummy time ❤
Tummy time is one of my very favorite things, especially done this way ❤️
This is awesome!!!
Colic?
Yes, this works great for babies with colic.
Glad you found it helpful! Sometimes simple things can be life savers in this world of parenting.
Football hold.
Right on!
It's called the football hold for obvious reasons and it puts pressure on their tummy and helps get rid of stomach gas.
Yes! I’ve also heard to it referred to as “tiger in a tree” from one of my followers - that name was a new one for me!
Hi, do you have any recommendations on totes or bags for the elvie? I know anything can work but wondering if there are any favorites? My past pumps (Medela and spectra) always came with a bag.
I use a small cloth bag with a zipper that I then slide right into my normal purse - which is why I love the Elvie! Between pumping sessions I put everything into ziplock bag and into fridge. Nothing special!!
I agree. Mom coming over who is going to help and isn't going to be off put by you whipping out them boobs isn't a regular visitor. If you plan on breastfeeding, make sure you feel good about stepping away into your bedroom to feed or being uncovered in front of those people because newborns want to be nursed around the clock.
Yes - agree with you 100% on all of this!! Definitely wish I would have been given this recommendation before having my first baby. I def overdid it trying to have visitors over who wanted to meet baby in first few days/weeks before I was getting the hang of things as a new mom. Live and learn!
@@mrs_annie_marie I was very blessed to have a seasoned mom(she had 6) as my doula who helped me draw boundaries.
