    I love when someone over the age of 35 starts blossoming as a person. A lot of us younger folks, myself included at 28, tend to get discouraged when we think we aren’t where we need to be and thinking time is running out, but it doesn’t matter what age you are. Everyday is a learning experience whether you’re 18, 28,38 or 48. Jeannie is an example at how life can change fast even in your 40s. It gets better my people. I’m learning that as I go …

      Couldn’t have said it better! 👏🏾👏🏾I can attest to that as well, turning 40 in a couple of months. My 30s, especially my late 30s have been the most amazing years of my life because I have gotten to know and love ME. As I have getting older, life just seems to make more sense and I have found joy in the simple things and gratefulness in things I always took for granted, like just simply waking up each morning.

    Honestly seeing that she is 42 and pregnant gives me calm. I’m 34, sometimes I stress about the biological clock ticking. But I want to be a parent when the time is right and that means waiting a few more years (maybe). I hope for the blessing of motherhood and the satisfaction of helping a baby human bloom.

      she was in a loving relationship before, but she was too stupid to realize that, he even waited 10 years for her to make up her mind, but she is too stupid that if she feels the pressure she won't do it. she is so infantile. And the break up of the relationship help her to unblock her own insecurities and stupidity.
      the not pressure of the new guy helped to avoid make her repeat the cycle and now that she was unblocked of her own stupidity she was open to having kids.

I remember after months of dating after our talking stage he asked me “I understand your point but we don’t have to be like our parents.. we write our own story” girl he changed my mind cause he made me think “you’re right” I am not my mothers or fathers flaws..

    This is a very touching episode. To hear you say that you never wanted kids out of F.E.A.R. (False Expectations Appearing Real) of your child being hurt like you were from your childhood is really something. Jeannie... you are in SO MANY WORDS... an inspiration! You got a story like no other. You've been through so much in your 42 years of life including being abused & traumatized at a young age, going through a painful divorce & even having that near death experience last year (sorry to bring that up), but you've survived ALL of it & you're still going strong!!! And I think you going through all those painful experiences & surviving all of it & facing all your F.E.A.R.'s is what made you the person you are today, a strong, powerful & mighty woman! This child is a blessing to your life & you are a blessing to this child's life as well & like I said before, you will be an AMAZING mother. Because one of the jobs of a parent is to make sure that their kids have a better upbringing than they had, & I KNOW for a FACT you will get the job done! You deserve all the happiness in the world & more & I wish you nothing but the best of luck on your pregnancy journey & once again I pray you have a safe delivery. Stay blessed Jeannie!!! 💚💚💚

      As a new mother, you will have a tendency to over- obsess about dangers surrounding your child. Be aware your own insecurities can make it really hard on your child. You and your husband should always take about those issues and come to a mutual decision, to take the stress off. Very important.
      I am so happy for you (all three of you). I pray for a healthy & happy baby for you.

    Jeannie, I can say so many things about what you said in this video. The fact that you are making a conscious effort to be a better parent is most of the battle. Once you see your child, God will give you EVERYTHING you need to raise them healthy and secure. I felt the same way you feel about having kids and it is my constant prayers before God that helps me. Blessings and peace to you.

    The moment you described your own baby waking you up from your nightmare.. I had goosebumps and balled my eyes out. Your words have touched me deeply and made me feel like I am not alone. I am now 36 and have started trying for a baby with my husband, but always had this feeling inside me before that I wasn’t ready. I slowly realized that I still have many traumas from my childhood that I had never truly worked through but instead kept it hidden like a horrible dirty secret. I am now looking to get therapy and counseling to confront and hopefully overcome them. And hopefully one day my husband and I will be blessed with a child that will have a safe childhood, loved, protected and cared for. My love to you Jeannie 💗🙏🏼

    Being someone who experienced the same thing as a child, for the longest I never wanted children. And I didn't understand why until you shared it yourself on the real. And then I started therapy and realized that one day maybe I can be a great mom despite what I've gone through. I just haven't yet met someone that I trust enough to share t hat moment with, like you. I've gone through times of accidentally developing a soul and losing the child twice, and ultimately blamed myself and all of my failures. I thought I was a burden to myself at that point. But maybe I will, I love your strength and your story.

    You caught my eye a cpl seasons back on the real on an episode where you started crying when discussing your trauma as a child. In that moment i felt this connection bc you were on the show everyday happy & bright & all these great things but internally still trying to cope with what had happened to you. I used to struggle in silence about my ptsd and seeing you made me feel not alone & how much you are an advocate for women who go through those things. I know it’s a hard knock life out here but Jeannie you got this fr! We have watched you evolve into the woman you are today and everytime i see a post or story, i get more & more proud of you! It’s so many young women like me who see you and feel like nothing is untouchable! Try not to be hard on yourself and sit and reflect on this amazing life you have worked so hard for. It’s scary & it’s not a book on how to be the perfect mother but the fact that you’re already so worried & wanting to give this baby everything you didn’t have makes you perfect already. I’ll always be rooting for you Jeannie🤍

      God knew I need to see this comment. Been living in fear and terrified to dream, but I’m slowly (snail slow lol) coming out of that. Blessings to you and everyone in the comments.

    I was the same. I met my husband and had zero desire to be married or to have children. After a few years I realized he was such a great man 🥺 a great human. Somebody I could trust to have a child with. To make a commitment to. Someone I knew wouldn’t abuse or abandon me or our child. It was absolutely because of my own trauma I didn’t want to get married or have a child but I found someone that made me feel safe, heard and loved. So happy you found the same ❤️

      This is awesome to hear and makes me hopeful. I don't want to be married or have children due to my past experiences. I pray I'm healthy enough mentally and emotionally to accept the right man into my life to maybe have these things. From one woman to another, I'm genuinely happy for you and any woman who finds this!!💜💜

    This is such a full circle moment for all the people who have watched Jeannie from the beginning of The Real & her first marriage to now. She has always radiated such positive energy but now she just radiates this beautiful happiness and love. 💗 I’m so excited to see her be such an amazing mommy

    I always told everyone and myself that I didn’t want kids and I always said it was because of my PCOS and the fact that they told me at 16 that I couldn’t have kids. I didn’t realize until you said that failing to protect myself and having that fear of not being able to protect another human from that experience is exactly how I feel!! Please continue to always speak truthfully as so many others might have difficulty explaining or finding the exact words to say. You’re speaking for those who still have a hard time talking. ❤️❤️ wishing you the best in this new journey of yours!

    ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I am 26 and I never wanted to be a mom, ever, but now that I’m in a relationship where I feel safe and now that I am actually trying to do the work to heal and be a better person, I actually feel like I want a lil girl 💕

    Wow. The amount of times I had to pause because I started crying. Thank you so much for your honesty and vulnerability. I really wish we could all have more conversations like this with each other.
