Guys I’m scared to DEATH about having kids. I’m curious for those who feel me, what scares YOU the most about it? Any ladies out there who haven’t had the maternal itch? And for those Moms out there who have been thru it please share some insight that nobody told you and you wish they had. I’m talking about the sh*t that happens to your mind, body, and life! Also big thanks to @drandyhuang for helping make the freezing our Embryos process so smooth! We got them babies on ❄️❄️❄️

aimeeleilamartin At least you’re thinking it through before you go for it!! I was terrified too, terrified about being a mum, terrified about giving birth, terrified about how life would be. I’m a mum of two now, and although those fears were all valid, I can tell you it was/is worth it. It’s never easy, and if you can afford support, get it! I had post natal depression after the birth of my eldest daughter, and I didn’t sleep for 6 weeks! So when we had our second, I hired a maternity nurse to cover the nights which was amazing. It seems like you have a wonderfully supportive husband which is a huge part of the equation! You can do it - remember we’re all in it together...as one of my best friends puts it: ‘it’s the best of times, and the worst of times’ 🤣. My top tips are: 1. Full Brazilian for child birth - no matter what! 2. Be prepared for what happens in the days/weeks down there after you’ve given birth, no one tells you about that bit. #buyhugepantypads 3. Get a maternity nurse if you can! 4. Get a nanny if you can! You cut my hair a few times in Dubai - I think I was the only British girl & we talked about my kids. You seem super together & you’re clearly an amazing business woman - you got this, if you want it! Xx

lindskraabs I’m a postpartum nurse & sometimes I wonder myself if some of my patients have ANY idea on the challenges pregnancy, labor, postpartum, breastfeeding/bottlefeeding & parenting brings. You cannot fully fathom until your a parent (oh lord I sound like my mom 😦) how hard and wonderful all at the same time it is! But it’s truly EMPOWERING! I never knew I could be this strong. My son gives me SUPER HUMAN strength. My advice would be if you feel in your heart you are ready to be a mama then you can do anything. Also lots and lots of prenatal education. We give lots of education in the hospital but when you’re sleep deprived & overwhelmed it’s good to be prepared so it’s like a review/real life practice! Also you can’t be FULLY prepared. I thought I’d have the first few days down pat because it’s my profession. I prepped my husband I was ready for postpartum & breastfeeding. Then I developed HELLP syndrome and my son came 2 months early & we had to learn about the preemie/NICU life. So you have to give up some control & planning cuz it always throws you for a loop. But every squeeze hug, nursing session, and sloppy kiss fills my sleepy ever-worrying heart to the max. And everyday with him gets more fun. 💕

kab9810 Everything about parenthood is scary. And that's soo normal. I have a 8yr old and 2yr old TWINS. And my first son I was super young when I got pregnant (19 to be exact) and to say I was scared was a understatement. But as soon as I saw his little face I knew we would be ok. And then fast foward 6yrs and I tell dad I want to try for a girl (he wasnt to trilled but agreed hahahah) and my first appt I find out im.not only pregnant with one but TWO babies. And now the dynamic changed once again I went from super excited to have another baby to beyonddddd scared to death. My pregnancy with the twins was pure hell. Everything that could go wrong did (I even ended up having two cracked ribs bc of how small I am) but then once again they came into this world and I knew all was right. And they were perfectly healthy. I made it almost to 35 weeks and now they are 2 and full of life and headaches for mommy but bring nothing but pure joy. I dont think anyone is every 100% ready to be a parent but once it happens you just know it was ment to be (at least for most) . You will do and be great! 💙💙🙏🙏 and when they say everything you go through as a parent is worth it, believe it bc it is and some!

kirstycantle I have a 13 month old. I’ve been with my husband for 13 years and I really wasn’t sure I wanted kids until shortly before I became pregnant. I hated being pregnant- bad morning sickness for 10 weeks then feeling lots of aches and pains and difficulty sleeping in the last trimester. I had my baby by emergency c-section after being induced and I’d 💯 recommend an elective c-section to save your body from pelvic floor damage and it’s ultimately safer for your baby. The first six weeks post birth were rough. I exclusively breast fed and that was hard at first- not a huge milk supply but I got there in the end. I had post-natal anxiety from the extreme lack of sleep- my baby didn’t sleep much at night for the first few weeks. She eventually got better at sleeping and I ended up breastfeeding her til now so I got there eventually. My daughter is the love of my life, I’ve never known anything like it and she is worth all the sleepless anxious days and nights. I totally get why you’re scared about having a baby - it’s by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done but at least for me it’s been worth it.

rinabekiri It’s all worth it! Nothing in life comes easy. I’m sure you can agree when you first started your career you would’ve been scared and now you’re a total pro. Becoming a mom is similar. There’s challenges faced and new things that need to be learned. It is both the most beautiful and daunting thing ever. Our bodies are incredible and remember everyone’s body changes differently so don’t go off of another persons story. I know Moms who barely looked pregnant during pregnancy and who look like they never had a baby after birth. It’s personal to each woman and her body but I can tell you one thing that’s the same and that is the unconditional love you experience. Your life is no longer what you knew. It gets a whole new meaning and you become a whole new person whose a whole lot stronger and has got a lot more love to give. It’s a beautiful journey and we’re all scared of it at first but trust me when the time comes, nothing will make you happier than that moment. 😘

ahug26 Things I wish people talked about more: the recovery after birth is FOR REAL, you WILL absolutely need to wear a pad/diaper bc you have an internal wound that will bleed for weeks after, don’t do stairs rest and take care of yourself, have people bring you food and water, breastfeeding can hurt at first but nipple cream helps, get as much help as humanely possible bc you will need it, tummy takes a while to deflate as your uterus shrinks, hormonal changes cause me a lot of anxiety so just prepare to be HYPERemotional after. This is mainly for the first year postpartum, I have a 3 year old now and it’s honestly so great and I have almost no complaints about this phase bc I’m prioritizing self care much better and have help! Also one child is so manageable in my opinion after the baby stage! I try not to worry and just trust the process of life to unfold but I’ll let you know how that goes as he gets older lol
