I promise once baby boy has been here for a few weeks the “what have I done” feeling dissipates. I was SO anxious about the arrival of my baby, I was constantly wondering if I had made a huge mistake by getting pregnant. Now he’s here, I couldn’t imagine anything else! The first few weeks of learning to feed/sleep deprivation are obviously a factor but it’s all up from here ❤❤
I remember when I was a young mum and after I had my baby, I remember yelling out Omg 😱 I’m a mother till I’m dead!
It hit me when i went into hospital in labour and I thought wow when i come out of this hospital im gonna be a mother for the rest of my life lol i miss the excitement of it tbh but never having any more, 1 is more then enough lol
@@K-a-n-d-i-s same but I have 2 boys. Thank god they are grown ups now. I only had to wait till now to have some freedom but not really lol I’m still gonna be a mum till I’m dead 😵 😂😂😂😂😂
@@nicolestewart haha yep deffo a lifelong thing, I dont understand these parents that just stop acting like parents once the child is 18, my son will always be my baby even when hes 50 lol
I just wanted to say the permanence of being a mum frightened me when I had my first child too, but honestly it gets better. I am back to a new version of myself now and have found new things I love to do whilst slowly get back to some of my pre-mum things as well. You're doing great x
Thank you for giving such an honest view of your pregnancy! I'm so excited for you.
Super appreciate your calm, honest and very real account of your journey. Much needed!
There is always a grief process to be gone through with a loss and there is always a huge loss of freedom when you first become a parent. There is also a real loss when those children leave home and many people get 'empty nest syndrome'. Accept your entirely normal feelings as part of the process and do not allow anyone to shame you. Many try to cover these feelings for fear of being judged a 'bad' mother, your honesty is a good thing that means you can get support and work through it all. Lots of love to you xx
This was so powerful.. accepting that there is a real wave that washes over you when your baby is initially born, the part of you that suddenly grieves aspects of your life you know will be inevitably altered.
And then you get used to it, and your world, becomes Them.
And then .. they leave, don't they?? And once again, the house is back empty, and you're wandering how you managed to ever survive before you were Blessed with them in your daily routines ... Ugh .... 🥺 My baby will be one on Christmas Eve and she has a little brother coming in April. I've been such an emotional wreck.... This motherhood thing?? It's much more to it than I could ever imagine, such an intense deck of cards to be presented with!
Hi Bryony, I was also surprised by prenatal depression and anxiety. It's was a horrible experience and I also considered the possibility of not continuing with the pregnancy.
I don't know if this will help you or not but for me for the first 6weeks or so after she was born I didn't connect with her at all and even came to resent her. I worked through it and informed all the people who needed to know and now I have the strongest bond with her so that didn't impact anything except the "fourth trimester" experience. Even to this day (2.5yrs later) I still refer to her during that time as "the baby".
I hope that your experience is a dream but just in case it isn't, I want you to know that it will all come good. It's not nice that you're not having the positive experience the media likes to paint and I'm sorry for that. It's great you have a good safety net around you xx
Love that you can see him moving when you showed your belly!
In a pillowcase, put 2 to 3 pillows in it that works with widen your hips to help found that I went out when I was pregnant with my twins. The other thing is get the pregnancy support belt that goes around your waist and Oso the other thing. Get the post pregnancy belt for after you have baby. Trust me it’s amazing.
You are so adorable! We are exactly 12 weeks apart in pregnancy. I am so excited for you and the change is so scary but amazing at the same time. You are going to be an amazing mom! Remember to do what you think is best. Don't worry about what others think! I can't wait to see your remaining progress! It is going to fly by!
I really relate too a lot of this.
The anxiety while pregnant worrying if it's the right choice. Or if your up to the life long commitment or realising that you won't ever just be you or you and your partner again. Worrying if bringing a baby into the world is even a good idea cause like... the world's a shit show. My sons now 4 months and I have 0 regrets. You've definitely 'popped' in this video. Most likely you'll start too grow a fair bit now but embrace it bumps are beautiful I miss mine soo much. And they don't tell you about phantom kicks lol. But I still feel kicking all the time it's rather quite sweet.
What you were talking about in regards to the anxiety and mixed emotions about baby, also coming to terms with becoming a mum, I can relate to.. you aren't alone! It gets better and slowly fades away once baby is here.💕
Your thoughts and feelings are totally normal & ok. I suggest you just not to give too much energy for fears. It's good to think through some future things but the truth is, you never know how things go. You can't control everything anyway. So do what you can, prepare how you can, but mostly just trust these made decisions, trust yourself and life. Solo motherhood won't be easy, but no matter what it will be the best life changing event. Enjoy your pregnancy until it lasts. Hope you and baby both will stay healthy & ok.
When I delivered my son the midwife asked a question and said “what do we think Mum?” I deadly seriously looked at my Mum and waited for her answer. She just smiled back at me 😂😂😂 as others have said the permanence thing does leave. I remember crying saying to my God Mother “oh God I’ll never not be a Mammy again!” And she just said exactly. How amazing. I though she was looney but now I get it. I desperately wish I could go back two years to that pregnant woman and hug her. She was terrified- she was anxious and thought she ruined her life and the babies due to the state of the world…. But now I know he’s only making the world that much brighter ❤
I totally agree. It’s the permanent feeling. It’s hard. To be honest it’s really hard. My son is 8 and sometimes I still get that feeling but the good times do out way the bad. I am always having these conversations with my friends!
Happy holidays girl
If you're struggling with the heat I would definitely recommend purchasing a small portable battery powered fan hospitals are always VERY warm and they keep labour and delivery even warmer for the babies. I didn't struggle with heat in my pregnancy but I felt like I was on fire with no air when in labour (in January), they did bring in a fan eventually but the chord was too short (about the same length as my patience by that point). Even if you're planning a home birth as a just in case. Would also love to see 'baby names I like but won't be using' video. You're doing great.
Some of the pregnancy pillows are also helpful for nursing, so it is definitely not money down the drain 😊
A bump wedge is great! Along with the big pillow between the knees.
Hi today I ordered you a gift from your Amazon wish list .I Love watching your vlogs I sent you a little gift note to.
Yes the third trimester goes so fast! And yep once their here...that's it 😅 Some nights I defs have a moment where I think I just wish could have 1 night off but Nope 😋💜
Invest in something now! I am currently 33 wks + 5 days and I am struggling. I wish I would of invested in some sort of pregnancy pillow weeks ago. I have a wedge pillow which is great for under my now heavy belly when side lying, but finding the right solution for between my legs is where I am still struggling.
You are glowing!
I’ve never had a baby, but I know that every single one of my friends who have been pregnant have named that big U shaped pillow as one of the main things that got them through it!! You got this!
I’m due on the 6 February and I’ve been feeling anxiety the past few weeks of the baby being here soon and not being ready even though this is my second child
I had the same experience of feeling my baby ‘kicking’ on both sides of my stomach at the same time. I assumed she was side to side based on what I was feeling but when we went for the ultrasound, she was actually head down! She stayed head down from 30 weeks until delivery but I continued to feel her movements as if she were lying across my stomach from side to side. It felt so weird!
I haven't reached this point of the video yet but WOW!! I literally remember explaining to my partner how insane it feels because I feel our son moving on one side and literally at the same time he's kicking, there's movement on the entirely opposite side of my stomach!! Im only 23 weeks so I didn't know what to think given I assume he's still pretty small and didn't know if his body could stretch that far. My brain was joking "Hidden twin😝" LOL
I’m almost two years postpartum and I still use my pregnancy pillow lol I breastfed with it, I would lay it around my baby when she was on the bed so she wouldn’t roll off, I use it for everything lmao I love It
I feel you on the cost of living issues. I live in the US and the only way we will be able to afford having a baby is because my job allows me to be home 4 days during the work week and my spouse is able to schedule so he’ll be home the one day I have to be in the office.
The permanence thing is the number one reason why I'm not sure if I ever want kids 🙈
I was born at 29 weeks gestation, 11 weeks early. I’m a bit older than you now, also somewhat asexual, with health issues similar to yours as well, and an aspiring entrepreneur. I’m following your vlogs in case I decide to have a biological child of my own someday - if I’ve not had one by 30, I think I may look into other options… but who knows, really?
I’ve followed your channel since the early days of you developing your business. This year, I am the same age of my own mother, when I was born - it’s so strange, being this age…
Hearing you, hearing your thought process - it is somewhat relatable. Though I’m not a parent, I am a caregiver for my Mom these days…
Money spent on your health is never a waste.

I just recently bought momcozy pregnancy pillow and it was too thick for me so I had to remove some stuffing (I have quite narrow hips). It’s been pretty great now that it’s a bit thinner for me. Might be a good fit for you :)
It’s interesting that different countries don’t class you as 3rd trimester until different weeks, I’m Australian and here you are considered 3rd trimester at 28 weeks, but I think I had the same pregnancy app as you and I believe it’s American based and always had me in the next trimester a week before it was meant to (it also said I was 2nd at 13 weeks even though here your not in the 2nd trimester until 14wks) so in the USA the third trimester must start at 27wks.
When you go on maternity leave does that mean no videos for a while
👶🏻💙
3:33 what do you mean? So if one aborts the baby..does that make them a mother of a dead baby??
My younger sister is due to give birth to her first baby not long after you; some time end of March! It will be my 7th nibling (niece/nephew). ❤️ Best of health to you and baby!
Why are you not replying me I just asked you after taking supplements are you free from adenomyosis because I am also trying for baby even I have bulky uterus and adenomyosis
She's not free from adenomyosis. Afaik there's no cure except for a hysterectomy
Did you not consider any of these things before paying thousands to even go through the process of getting pregnant? I understand that prenatal anxiety and depression are real but these are all things you should have thoroughly considered BEFORE you made the major life changing decision to become a mother and not just “realisations” you come to mere months before your due date. You didn’t just fall pregnant, you had time to think over every possibility / outcome of your pregnancy yet act shocked that a child will be a permanent fixture in your life?
Maybe this is meant kindly but this sort of attitude is why we don’t talk openly enough about the challenges and complexities of pregnancy. It’s actually a very normal response to big life changes to almost forgot and remember how big they are. And no matter how hard someone things or doesn’t, the world changes, new challenges arise etc. You can passionate want something and still be world about the challenges it’ll bring. We should be encourage people to be open and transparent about these feelings to reduce shame, as they are normal
Anxiety isn't logical. Doesn't matter how much you prepare - anxiety can make you worried about things you had no concerns about pre-anxiety. Maybe read up on how anxiety works before commenting?
@@natatatt lol I have anxiety myself so pls don’t patronise me 🙄 I’m simply pointing out that these ARE 100% things she should have taken in to account before she made the decision to have a child. Anxiety or not these are things that any reasonable person would think about before making these decisions. It’s not insensitive of me to sat that a person should go over every possible outcome before making such a huge life changing decision, if only to prepare for any outcome- especially since she didn’t fall pregnant but went through a process to become pregnant. Nowhere did I suggest that she is being unreasonable for having such thoughts but I did point out that it seems that the idea of pregnancy was only ever positive to her, she never considered anything else beyond the ideal which also seems to be part of the problem when it comes to her anxiety - which she voices herself so I’m not in anyway saying anything that hasn’t already been said.
I just had my first baby, 8 weeks ago, in my THIRTIES with tons of planning, preparations and discussions with my husband and we still had major anxiety about the same things! Anxiety is not magically cured or prevented by proper planning or any other logical methods. If you’re an anxious person, any major life changes will likely trigger your anxiety and there’s nothing more major than bringing another human into this world!

@@chloeraymen8533 I’m honestly not convinced she truly wants this. She’s treating the whole thing like getting a new puppy, and has a lot more negative things to say about it than positive. At first I thought she just didn’t want to get excited before 12 weeks, but she still seems more annoyed than excited.
I honestly don't understand why you go through all of this for a baby. I mean, the costs of sperm and buying it online like ordering from amazon. Being sick all the time and having mentally breakdowns. I do get the purpose of you showing the otherside of pregnancy but is it worth it? The world itself isn't looking good, especially with the war and prices going up everwhere. More people loose their jobs, houses, can't afford heath etc. I choose not to bring any children into this world. I have thought about though but for me it's not worth it.
There have always been wars and inflation. Does that mean everyone should stop reproducing? I get that you are feeling very negative about the world and don’t want kids but what was the purpose of saying this to someone who is already pregnant and having anxious thoughts?
Did you post this in kindness? You speak of the world not looking good but the best and most potent control we have over that is how we conduct ourselves. Bryony is already pregnant, and has been honest about struggling, so what was the motivation behind leaving a comment that contains nothing but sentiments inclined to pull her further down? Be the change you want to see and, if you have a thought, ask yourself what good you're doing putting it out into the universe before you commit it to the comment section. Your choices are your own and your reasons are perfectly valid but expressing them here, in this context, in this way, can only cause harm. I believe you have a better legacy to leave than that.
I’d say realistically speaking the world is fairly good at the moment
it's too late for her to have an abortion now even if she wanted to so what exactly are you suggesting she does at this point?
I think that this comment comes from a genuine curiosity. At least, that's how I am taking it. Your decision to remain childfree is absolutely valid. As a mom myself, I actively encourage and support people who don't want kids not to have them. My husband and I did want to have kids because we love kids. There is never a time when the world isn't in chaos, that is just simply how it goes. What those of us who want to have kids are doing is raising our kids to be better. Better than we are, better than our parents were. I can say confidently that the kids growing up today are far better humans than even their parents. My hope is that my kids continue to be the change. Maybe there might be a generation eventually that turns this dumpster fire around.
