I made this new video for any new mom or new dad who is feeling discouraged by their new role as a parent. Perhaps you love your baby but don’t enjoy being a parent... i hope I can be a little source of encouragement for you in your journey. Having a new baby isn’t easy, no matter how sweet the baby is or how long you wished for this baby to come, taking care of little ones is challenging and all consuming. Hang in there. You’re doing so good and it will get easier in time. Thank you so much for following along and I hope you are having a great week! Happy new year!!

I feel guilty for hating moments of motherhood because I know for some women it’s a dream and not all can obtain it and I was (and I know I am) so blessed to have this beautiful baby she is my world but It’s sooooo hard sometimes 😩😩 and you help me with dealing with the guilt because I believe all mommies feel this we just don’t all say it out loud but I do feel happiness so deeply when the fun cute moments are happening that I think it cancels out the hardest of nights!!

@jessicawarner7634 3 жыл бұрын

Not in postpartum right now but YES. I remember after my c-section how horrible it felt most of the time, honestly. Now parenting an almost 2-year old only having experienced doing it during a Pandemic makes me jealous of other moms of "the past." They could go to the library multiple times per week, music classes, swimming classes, the grocery store wasn't militarized with arrows on the ground. BUT, yes it's temporary and if we can find the good, the joy, the beauty (anything... like 5 mins in the car alone blasting music), and savor it, we can get through anything and not only survive but thrive.

Although my baby is 12 months old, he has special needs from a brain injury at birth and at times my life still feels like he is a newborn. Today was so so hard for me. I’m pretty sure I cried more than he did. My neck and back are so tense from the amount of stress I have as a special needs mama. I loooooove my baby and I looooove being a mom, but we have had obstacle after obstacle after obstacle, and it just wears on you. Needed this video :’(

I think is so important to talk about this. I had my baby 5 months ago and knew others mamas that had their babys by the same time, and they seemed sooo in love with their babys and that they didn't mind the lack of sleep, the pain and the tiredness. And I felt like the worst mom in the world because I was crying all day, every day because I couldn't breast feed, i was sooo tired, i was somethimes unable to get my baby to stop cry... And I just think some women don't express it because they're afraid to be judged. If someone is reading this feeling the same way I did, I will like for you to know that it gets better, you will get used to this new life that you didn't know before, it gets easier and don't be afraid or shame to ask for help or at least to talk to someone about how you feel...

Thank you for being so open! I have a 5 year old, when he turned 4 that’s when I felt like I could breathe again. Now here I am with a beautiful 6 week colicky,gassy baby. When I had my son I had horrible postpartum depression. I had gotten married and moved away from family ( about 2 hours away). My husband worked late and I was all alone. It was such a low time in my life that I’ve blurred most of it out and all this time I wished I could of enjoyed it and told myself that if I ever had another baby I would enjoy it to the max. WELL here I am, my circumstances are soo different. I have friends tons of friends got really involved in church being a teacher and the pandemic started and that’s when I found out I was pregnant. Once my baby was born I felt lost. I felt so angry at Covid. It took my wish of enjoying everything away. All my friends couldn’t come, here I was all alone once again!!! The first few weeks we’re rough. I would watch movies and just cry and cry( wishing I could be like the characters all happy going out and interacting but couldn’t because of Covid) sounds silly but it’s something hard to deal with. Then once my hormones settled my baby started being colicky and gassy. I’m still trying to figure out what will help. I don’t want to give up breastfeeding as it’s been a struggle since the beginning and feel like this is the only good I can do.

Honestly, that analogy about swimming to an island was priceless, Jess, and I REALLY connected with it. Thank you so much for constantly being brave and opening your heart and life to us so that other momma don't have to feel so isolated and alone in their process.

@motherinwaiting2362 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for this video. I am in the middle of the ocean right now and I feel like I’m drowning. I have 7 week old twins and I am not happy right now. I had a complicated pregnancy, delivery, and my one baby has really bad reflux and keeps choking on it. We have been in and out of the hospital since they were born and this was not the introduction to motherhood that I was expecting or dreaming of. I struggled with infertility for 10 years and finally got pregnant by IVF with twins boys, they are beautiful and I love them but I do not like the newborn stage because our experience has been nothing but terrifying. I am always anxious that my one baby is going to stop breathing when he has an episode. I know what I’m experiencing isn’t typical, but I needed to hear this video. My babies were also preemie born at 35 weeks and yes they are very different from term babies I feel like we are in the same season of life, thank you for your videos they make me feel normal. I literally thought it wasn’t a good mommy for the thoughts I was having because no one I knew was ever honest about postpartum depression. Thank you for your honesty and rawness you are doing an amazing thing for other mommies!

But it was seriously so much better by the time I went back to work at 12 weeks. ❤️the newborn phase is so HARD! I told my husband, we need metals or a T-shirt or something to acknowledge the great feat we accomplished 😂 What really helped me is I would go to sleep at 7 pm and sleep until 10, 11 or sometimes midnight while my husband watched the baby. Then I would do the rest of the night and if the baby slept more it was awesome but if not I had some rest to get me through the night!

Jess - YOU are amazing. I like you so much! 😁 This video made me cry with happiness because it gave me hope to be able to get through motherhood myself when my baby comes. I loved it and it helped me a lot. Thank you. ♥️

You are such a gift Jess. This felt SO personal (specifically starting around 10 minutes when you said you wished you could hug us), something about this video just felt like you were right here with me. Everything about this is exactly what I needed right now. Thank you, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I think I speak for the entire community when I say we are so thankful for you and your kindness and honesty. I am thankful. Thank you.

Bless you!! I’m so sorry you had a MARE with tech as a video editor I really get you. I’m also here for the exact reason that you say you feel this isn’t natural for you - thanks for your honesty. Well done again for getting through this grim day and ‘just keep swimming’ xx

Thank you for your honesty, this is much needed! It's amazing finding out how many feel exactly the same way once you speak up. That's what I do in RL and most of the time people appreciate the honesty. Be strong and make sure to enjoy this time as much as possible cause yeah, you gonna miss it. I was so overwalmed I can barely remember the first weeks of my first daughter...

You've helped me flip my perspective so much Jess. Thanks for these videos ❤ 2 under 2 club is difficult sometimes... but its all just a phase

Ah Jess, thanks. I so needed to hear that 💜 it’s been tough sleep times with my five month old and I’ve been feeling so tired and desperate. But it’s okay, it’s temporary and this is season is meaningful. So good.
