You are going to become a mother for the first time!

It's official, you are pregnant and you are going to give birth to a baby for the first time! Your life is going to change and we have some advice for you:


  • You are going to meet a little stranger that you will have imagined for 9 months. The emotions will be very strong.
  • Get ready for the arrival of your baby and imagine a cozy nest.
  • Take time for yourself to live your pregnancy to the fullest. Listen to your body!
  • Share your feelings with your partner so that he understands what you are going through.

So y’all, quick vent... So basically my ex (child’s father) of 2 years just finalized our relationship because he said for the past week it’s been arguments and he didn’t feel respected or heard. I felt so bad because naturally I would want to be my mans peace and his feelings mean everything to me, my hormones been out of thwack from the stress, discomfort and anxiety . So I apologize, acknowledged my wrong doing, and said I would work on it and to please be patient with me. I pleaded with him cause I also wanted my son to have a chance of growing up in a two parent household. Long story short, he said that he’s not a one woman’s man and the only way we’d get back together is if I allow him to sleep with multiple women and I can’t get behind that and he knew from the start I was strictly monogamous. I told him in the past that my worst fear is becoming a single mother (I even opted for an abortion if he felt like this was going to be the case) and I feel like he used that to his advantage to try and fulfill his sick fantasy. He picked having multiple women over ensuring our son the best future. And for that I lost all respect for him. He decided to lay this on me 2 weeks before I have to give birth and just when I felt all that needed to be done is to prepare for the arrival of my son, I have to worry about how I’m going to make it through as a single mother.

Single mother is better than sharing what should be just urs with so many others trust me u will be hurt, stressed and obsessive it will be so far in ur head it will make u go crazy bc he and his heart isnt here for u and not for ur son, its for other bitches and sluts and if he wants to get his dick milked that bad let him why tf he tryna set rules and shit, let me tell u why bc thats whats called narcissism and gaslightin. He thinks u will do anything cuz u cant without him and dont let him see that its true bc he gona fuck u up bad and i seen shit like this happen first hand. If he doesnt want u and only u throw him tf away cuz life is too precious and short and u gota love urself first. He will make u and ur baby miserable. Let him go cuz couple bitches in he gona try to crawl back right to u, and u do NOT let him have his way. He taking advantage of ur feelings and ur situation pls realize he doesnt give two fucks about u and its clear.

Place baby on back. Have them sleep on a hard flat surface. Also sleeping in the same room as parents for the first 6 months. Studies have also shown pacifiers help reduce risk.

I just want to publicly acknowledge which Im sure mamas will agree that being a mother saved my life. Giving in wasnt an option and though Im not perfect I still have so much to change permanently but becoming a mother taught me I can put myself last when Ive always looked at myself as selfish for how I lived my life. As a young adult Id numb myself through drinking and partying and sleeping around I have a wonderful mother and family but I always felt alone and being a mother even though we feel alone sometimes in raising our kids I dont ever feel lonely my God given purpose is my children and I dont know what I did right to deserve to be called mama but i am forever grateful

No advice about kids / pregnancy but .. has anyone had problems with their own mother once becoming pregnant/mother? I feel like raising my children is bringing up a bunch of horrible memories of my child hood (not that it was all bad.) but just the bad times, Also me and my mom have argued way more and become so distant since i became a mom. She belittles my issues and tells me basically “just deal with it, ive done it everyone does” etc. i only have hubby for a support system, the rest of my family doesnt help at all, i look at my kids and would do anything for them yet, my mom doesnt look at me in that way. My mom always favored my sister over me, and now shes favoring my daughter over my son, its giving me like PtSD and no matter what i say to express myself its an argument she will not apologize for making me feel this way or any of her actions. How do i deal with this? Has anyone experienced this?

You don’t want history to repeat itself and it’s understandable. The unfortunate part is no matter what, if she doesn’t see anything wrong, she won’t feel like fixing is needed. If I were in your shoes, I would explain myself one last time (this way I would know in my heart I’ve attempted to reach out) and if she continued to not respect my wishes to treat them equally, I’ll temporarily cut off ties. Yes, It would be difficult because you only want their grandma to be in their lives but not if it’s causing you to feel this way. Hopefully she would open her eyes and respect you as their Mommy. You know your babies better than anyone, follow your heart when it comes to them. It sounds like you have a supporting husband, as long as your little family is on the same page you will be fine. Never give anyone the power to add negativity to your life. You are strong! You got this! Also, It’s easier said than done but don’t stress it during your pregnancy, not good for you or baby.
