This video is so important and full of value!!! As a nurse who works with pregnant and postpartum women, I think we don't talk about these things enough. Then when a woman experiences these feelings after giving birth, she is sure that something is wrong with her and this only increases her anxiety and mental stress. Thank you for being open to talking about the issue
I LOVED this video. I’m not a mum but i have a lot of close friends who are and I feel like you summed up all the feelings as a new mum. So honest and so refreshing to hear that. Women are so strong and we need to have more open and honest conversations with eachother and support. LOVE LOVE LOVE xxx
1000%!! I'm 29 weeks pregnant with my second and I'm so scared of that post partum anxiety and depression again. Also, glad to hear someone else felt those nighttime scaries like I did. Something about nighttime and knowing it's going to be yet another sleepless night just fills you with anxiety and despair.
As a resident in psychiatry I adoooooore your video, everyone who wants or doesn’t want or have a kid should watch something as real and vulnerable as this to make a real and conscious decision and not judge others
Thank you for raising awareness to these very important issues that women deal with before, during and after pregnancy. This needs to be addressed and talked about more. We need to normalize the changes women experience throughout motherhood. I appreciate you starting the conversation and I hope this gets a lot of views, this is crucial for first time moms and dads. Men must be aware of these changes and feelings too!❤❤
You’re so beautiful, Emily! I love to watch your tutorials on makeup and hairstyling since I’m such a girly girl. ☺️❤️ I also love how honest you are about your experience with childbirth. I’m 52 now, never been married and I’m childless but I live vicariously through my two nephews (also my godsons) who are now 16 and 19 and I love and treat them like they’re my own children.
Well, I agree on those stitches -- really outrageous, had those too. The biggest thing was that suddenly, you have other people to stress over, not just yourself. It is a joy but it is also a huge sense of responsibility and it is going to be for the rest of your life! And that's heavy.
❤❤❤sending you all the luck and love! My own advice is not to fear or be ashamed of your feelings (eg not enjoying the newborn stage, not “loving” the baby from the first sight, feeling anxious about not knowing “how to”). And not being ashamed to ask for HELP! No one is supposed to raise a baby alone!!! Take all the help you can. And trust me, it WILL get better!!! 🩷
I remember it so well when I had my son over 18 years ago. I was shocked and angry that no one told me everything you just mentioned and more. I felt it was a huge disservice to new mothers not to prepare them or educate them about what they would be facing. I honestly felt like I’d been duped. The physical pain of childbirth was nothing compared to the months and even years of strife that came afterwards.
Thank you for sharing this Emily! I can relate to this so much! The pregnancy and birthing experience was super great for me. The worst worst part was postpartum, I had many issues physically and mentally that I have never experienced before in my life. And I don’t like nursing as well! It contributed to a lot of my anxiety back then.
Mine was a c sec... healing from stitches either from surgery or normal delivery is so painful and breastfeeding is mostly a challenge for most new moms .. mental health surely takes a toll..
Yes girl. 10000% true. Thank you for this video. I also have/had all of those mentioned. It can be scary sometimes, but most of the time it’s a beautiful experience 😌
Emily, once again, my hat goes off to you for sharing this extremely important information and experience. So painful and hard! I think if I had had a baby in my 30s, I wouldn’t have known what hit me. People didn’t used to talk about this kind of information widely. But it’s really valuable that you are sharing these challenging parts to an amazing thing. Three years in & my relationship with my husband is still not what it was - we coexist a lot more than before - tag timing with the baby. But I know that that will change.
love this emily! thank you so much for finding those words for your experience and sharing them! i felt very similar and this is so helpful to hear someone else voicing it❤
Thiissss video is so reallll and wholesome!!! I love how you basically are real that motherhood is tough, it hits all aspects of your life, but at the same time it can be wholesome as well. ❤❤
Thank you for sharing this with us Emily!! You're such a good mom, you're doing an awesome job. I'm nowhere near having a baby but these are important things to hear from someone has already gone through it all
YESSSSS!! 🙌 I went through all of the same things. I was shocked at how hard it was on our marriage because we both wanted a baby so much. And I had crazy anxiety with my first-- thoughts of falling down the stairs and random accidents, all of it. It sucks. But yes, it is kind of normal. 🤷🏼♀️ Didn't go through that with baby #2, but OMG the postpartum cramps were a shock after giving birth to the 2nd! I totally agree with you, Emily. And yes, 100%, being a mom is the best thing in the world. Love my kids! They're worth it all! ❤️
I wish i could knowing it 11 years ago. I had all these steps, but i thought it is a problem with me and nobody feels the same way 💔 it was very hard time for me but now I’m so happy 💜
Yes!!! The intrusive thoughts can be scary! Thank you for saying it! Ppl do not talk about it! It will get better! The nipple bleeding is when we nurse too often, even if we air them and castor oil is soothing in between! I was nursing too often and they looked like ground hamburger 😬But back to normal! Hormones and imbalances ain’t no joke! I relate! Thanks for your honesty! Especially the thoughts when it was just the two of you… that changes too🙌
Thank you for being so honest, really related to the feelings of resentment towards my partner. He's great with baby but it will never be close to the amount we put in as mamas
Thank you so much for sharing this, this is exactly how I feel ... Who am I now ? What do I want ? I want to be with my child but I also want a career ... this is so complicated and the body changed so much, this is crazy...!
How could giving birth not be painful? I can assure you a natural birth is extreme agony. You must have had an epidural? Obviously the drugs take the pain away xx
I know a lady who gave birth in a taxi and hers easily slid out, and have seen some ppl’s stories online who had either cryptic pregnancies and normal early-sign pregnancies, and their infant just came out, so not everyone’s experience is painful.
I can’t concentrate on what you’re saying because your face is so damn gorg. Ugh. But yes, I loved giving birth to my 3 babies. It’s animalistic, horrible, wonderful and amazing. Recovery is awful. 🩷

Interesting to learn these kind of things that women have to deal with when they have a baby as a guy! Makes my appreciate my mom even more!
I am literally obsessed with how unfiltered this is 😂

Haha the very end “was that too much? Sorrrrryyyy 😅😬” same lol
WOW!!!! Thank you for making me feel heard and now I need a hug (currently 6 months postpartum)

great summary! I really hope this goes viral because it should.
Looved this episode! As a mom I relate to it 99%

Is NOT too much… it is real! That is how it is for me too! Thanks talking about this, I make me feel better and not alone 💗🙏🏽
*takes notes while I await the birth of my first baby a boy* 😅😊
I wish you luck and good health in your pregnancy

Thanks for the *healthy* dose of birth control 🙃 I appreciate the honesty and I hope our society can do better to support mothers!! ❤
Thank you for the video. So much of it resonated with my personal experience of becoming a mother.

Keeping it real and being transparent! Love this video, so important! Thanks for sharing and wishing you all the best 💖

Such a fun and relatable video ahah❤
Lol yes, just had my second and yes to all the things you just said! I had no idea and I'm pissed about it. :)
Thank God I decided to take the childless cat lady route in life! Seems much easier ❤
Thank you for being so honest, really related to the feelings of resentment towards my partner. He's great with baby but it will never be close to the amount we put in as mamas
I’m still thinking about my babies all the time and they are 31 and 35!!!
YES what is up with the night time fear!! Like WHY. I can’t stand it 😭
Thank you so much for sharing this, this is exactly how I feel ... Who am I now ? What do I want ? I want to be with my child but I also want a career ... this is so complicated and the body changed so much, this is crazy...!
I feel so seen. Same girl.
Amazing
💯 all of this is super relatable 😅😭
Everything you said is so true to how I feel!
I had a c-section I was not aware for how long that was going to take a toll on my body or for how long
this was sooooo helpful really appreciate it❤❤
I loved this video 🫶🏼 I hope you’ll make more talking about pregnancy and post partum. It is so important
Love your pajamas!! Can you link where they are from? 🤍
Oofff, appreciate the honesty. I'm 9 months pregnant now with my first and this confessional gave me more anxiety than calmness lol.
Postpartum trenches were not more painful for me for 2nd baby. 🤷♀️
Horrific!!!
❤
LOVE
YESSSSSS

she never said it wasn’t painful? also, everyone is different and you trying to discredit an experience she never even said she had is weird xx
@@arialifeless i thought she said she was expecting childbirth to be horrific, but obviously if you have an epidural it's not going to be painful
I know a lady who gave birth in a taxi and hers easily slid out, and have seen some ppl’s stories online who had either cryptic pregnancies and normal early-sign pregnancies, and their infant just came out, so not everyone’s experience is painful.
