Baby Then What

5.21: What We Wish We Knew Before Our First Baby: Postpartum, Newborn Realities & Baby #3 Lessons


Listen Later

Welcome back to Baby Then What, today we’re talking about all the things we wish we knew before becoming moms for the first time… now that baby #3 is officially on the way.

From delusional sleep expectations to Pinterest-mom fantasies, postpartum shocks, newborn chaos, relationship meltdowns, mental load guilt, and letting go of control, we’re unpacking the motherhood lessons we learned the very, very hard way.

If you’re pregnant, TTC, deep into postpartum, or just quietly spiraling at 2am… this one hits home.

• What we believed before baby #1 (and why we laugh now)
• The things NO ONE tells you about postpartum
• Baby #2 humbling us in ways we didn’t expect
• What actually matters with a newborn
• What we’re not stressing over with baby #3
• Our list of “things we wish we knew” , from relationships to pelvic floors to schedules to mom guilt

We’re answering questions like:

“Did motherhood look anything like what you imagined?”
“What was your moment of ‘Oh sh*t, this is nothing like I expected?’”
“Did baby #2 heal you or humble you?”
“What would you tell your pre-baby self now?”

And of course… things we wish someone whispered in our ears before the first baby arrived, the honest, messy, unfiltered realities that only moms understand.

Because spoiler: you don’t become a mom in one moment. It’s a slow build, a thousand heartbreaks, a thousand miracles, and a version of yourself you didn’t know existed.

If you ever said:
“Why did no one tell me this?”
“You will survive this.”
“OMG, I didn’t know motherhood felt like this.”

Then this episode is literally for you.
