"You will sleep again..." Exactly what I needed to hear 🤣 I didn't have enough sleep for several months with my first baby and that was kinda traumatic. When I found out abt my 2nd pregnancy, I was so anxious that I will never be able to sleep again. Thank you so much! You are such a great momma!!

I have been sleeping since my first was 8 months. Ironically, that was when we found out I was pregnant again. The first 8 months of my son's life were rough as ever, he rarely napped. It was HARD. But i'll be honest, him sleeping was a huge reason I saw it as very possible to take on a second wholeheartedly, without dread.

Thank you so much for this - it’s hard to find encouraging things about having baby #2!

I’m a dad, we have two. I definitely felt the transition from 0 to 1 was bigger than 1 to 2, but the second was easier. I think the different personalities of the two (with second being more chill) helped. A couple things I would add, the two after 7-8 months start entertaining each other so time needed IMO almost became a wash and broke out even. The other thing is since they are at different stages, your connection to them might also be different. My older one was talking, walking, playing etc. and it’s different connection than an infant, at least for me as a dad.

Thank you for this video! I am newly a mom of two, a 5 yr old and 4 week old. And, it's tough emotionally, mentally, and physically. It's hard to give my 5 yr old the attention she deserves. I try, like when we do lots of homework together or fold laundry, (not really all that fun for her) but I'm still consumed with frustration that I can't give more or be more to both my children. I didn't see this coming and feel run ragged most days. Taking care of myself is nearly out of reach, whereas running for miles used to be my daily go-to. Breastfeeding just takes up the whole day!!! But, your video gives me hope that each day will get better. I NEED to hear this message more from other moms.

I am 8 months pregnant right now and my boy is 13 months old. My pregnancy is really hard on me and I already feel so much guilt that even through my boys first year of life I could not be the mom for him I wanted to be. So many times I was too tired or to nauseaus that I just wished he would go for a nap or sleep longer during the day instead of cherishing and enjoying the time with him. So many times I could not carry him, because I was just to weak. Letting him learn walking mostly on his own because it was so painful for me to bend down constantly to help him. So many times I did not play with him because I just wanted to sit down a bit longer. I feel awful, I could not life up to my own standards. First moths of his life before pregnancy I was that active mom that was outside all the time, enjoying the weather and nature, crawling with him on the floor, I just wasn't able to keep it up. I look forward to the day I'm giving birth to just end that miserable state of being pregnant, but even then I just missed out so much on my son and I will never have the same amount of time again for him.

But i could handle it much better than being pregnant wirh a baby/ toddler. Every day my youngest got older it became easier. Now they are playing together and it's the most beautiful thing to watch. I love it. But I'm still haunted by my pregnant days and my guilt towards my older son. But now i also feel guilty that my youngest never experienced alone time with me, the guilt just never ends, i guess...

That's why experts say not to get pregnant 5 months after giving birth, but recommend waiting at least a year to 18 months before getting pregnant again. Your child will be walking without support so you don't have to bend down, they'll be on a good nap and sleep schedule, allowing you rest in your first trimester, and saving your back in the third.

Beautifully said. I'm even more excited about baby #2! Thanks for the positive and honest video

This video made me subscribe to you. I’m 41 in a week from now and I have a 3 year old. I want to give him a sibling because I am an only child and we have a small family. I don’t want my son to grow up alone like I did. I do struggle with physical and mental illness issues like depression and anxiety as well. This video hit all my concerns. When you said you will have enough love for both children because it grows and will not diminish, I subbed! Much love to you and your family. This was so encouraging.

Thanks for this video!!! 🥰

The amount of negative stories about having a second child (and motherhood in general) is staggering. Thank you so much for your positive outlook and advice! Can't tell you how refreshing your perspective is. I've always felt super positive about motherhood and wholeheartedly reject the "mommy martyr" identity, but since finding out I'm pregnant with my second, I've worried that I will lose that positive outlook. Your video was just the perfect boost to keep my mindset in check. Thank you!

Life is so unfair to women🙄 we have to take care of a baby. Do you have kids?

Thank you! I haven't told anyone outside of my immediate family and best friends about the second baby yet. I am absoloutely terrified. Im still watching the video at the moment. I really appreciated this. My first child was a dream, happy healthy, slept well just a great baby. He was so easy and made being a mum a dream. Im fully aware the second baby wont be the same as my first (the pregnancy is so much harder too), I guess thats what scares me. I know I'll adjust, I know we will be fine but I cant comprehend how I will make it all work. How I will take care of everybody, how will I have enough love, how will i have enough time, how will I have enough attention, how will i sleep?

Thank you SO MUCH for this very energetically realistic video. I definitely cried the last remark about having enough love- and it doesn't matter how many times i've heard this. It hits like a ton of bricks every time and even has me thinking about how it began with my partner and I as individuals... our children are the result of our love, despite the extremely difficult adjustment this has been. I'm expecting 1-2 to be easier than 0-1 and mine are back to back. Immediately when I found out I was like, I got this. My confidence is high and it cannot be shaken by anyone else's experience. Becoming a mother was a shock in every way and since our brains are more acclimated each subsequent pregnancy, I do believe this has to do with the adjustment being the most abrupt physically, on top of the many lifestyle changes.

You are SO lovely, you addressed all my fears and truly felt like you were encouraging me haha thank you!
