This episode might get us cancelled.Some people are going to be mad.And honestly… we’re a little nervous. Today we’re sharing the unpopular mom opinions we usually keep in our heads, about babies, toddlers, mom guilt, marriage after kids, and the pressure to love every single stage of motherhood. We talk about:– Not loving the newborn phase– Why toddler life is unhinged– Mom guilt and losing your identity– Marriage turning into logistics– Social media vs real motherhood– Loving your kids but hating certain phases– Why “soak it all in” is not helpful This is not advice.This is not judgment.This is just honesty. If you’ve ever thought:“I love my kids but this is HARD”or“Am I the only one who feels this way?” You’re not alone.Send this episode to another mom who needs to hear it. 🎧 New episodes every Thursday.

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. New episodes every Thursday.
