Before I proceed, I'm shocked that Tracy Wanjiru is a mum. Goodness, she pulled the kylie jenner card. I grew up watching her on Teen Republic and I'm proud of her. Can't wait to listen to this conversation.

I love this! Giving us facts instead of cushioning with lies how easy and blissful motherhood is all the time when in reality there’s days you want to run away lol. Motherhood is hard sometimes and that’s okay

Let me tell you... I wish I was physically part of this podcast todu ma... Motherhood is alooooot. From prolonged labour, constipation after birth, having oversupply.. Wuehhh I'd sleep on a mackintosh and have the baby sleep on the father's side coz everything was wet always. Dont even get me to the cravings. I thought pregnancy cravings end at birth.... Shock on me... Cravings became promax!! .... Then breastfeeding hunger eeeeh... I'd wake up at 2am to have a meal ju snacks were not enough.... Alafu I don't know why but I'm told you'll always leave the hospital with a certain flu so if you have stitches whether CS or episostomy, coughing, sneezing and laughing will be a dreaded enemy. All in all I still cant remember life without my baby. Life became better🌹

At least there being truthful,motherhood is hard.Julies point on resentment is true..I haven't worked for 10yrs it's now that am trying to find myself.

What a great episode...the sweats after birth😂..Motherhood made me wanna know more about God(Jesus),Because how come he created this baby inside me and made me feel a different kind of love(its like from another dimension)❤...Process is tough,but would do it again and again for my little human.

I almost threw a bash when my child stopped breastfeeding at around eight months. It was weird because I was so relieved on the inside but could not tell anyone because I feared the judgmental side eyes giving me those looks of, "Nkt! Look at these modern mothers who can't even sustain breastfeeding for a year." I was low-key anxious all the time about my ability to produce enough milk to satisfy the needs of my child from day one and I realize that this could have had a significant impact on my milk production. To date, I still advocate for as much breastfeeding as you are able to do and if I got another baby today, I would do everything within my power to do exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months and then sustain it for as long as the child is demanding it.

this is a wonderful perspective. Do it for as long as you are able and don't stress. if the most is 3 months and switch to formula then do it it. if it was never possible from day 1 then its also ok. will it be hectic? definitely. But there is no prize for being a stressed mum to your baby. and there is no special exam for breastfed kids vs formula kids. I advocate for breastfeeding wholeheartedly and trying everything possible but if it refuses after a reasonable amount of time of trying then its ok to switch and move on and just enjoy the other aspects of raising your baby

I appreciate how Tracy brings a hint of modern motherhood and then Julie is the more experienced wife / mother. Wholesome ❤️

Judy saying the younger you are the easier it is😂😂woi not for me,am 23 with 2 under 3 😢,from both pregnancies to breastfeeding everything is baaad,I had the worst pregnancies ,bedrest for both wueh,nooo noo noo more babies am done. Been battling postpartum depression for 7 months now and yes I can relate with everything you guys are saying,Am glad I have a supportive husband.

So glad that local content is coming of age. Great conversation with such phenomenal women!

I think on motherhood and friendships, the relationships that I have had with mums that have lasted for years are the mums who allowed me to show up for them without being too rigid. as much as we are all going through our own unique experiences in life both personally and globally those people who are not too rigid have the biggest support systems and their kids have a lot of love. And also practically like from day 1 you have people who can help you out like the way the ladies who needed to go back to school in barely 2 weeks sometimes you might not have family around but you have people who are willing to show up for you and help you thrive but most people refuse and go into isolation mode then later on say people left them. its usually has nothing to do with being single or even not being a mum. we want to still be your friend and adjust with you but most mums don't let us. so for me I have kept the ones who allowed me to be there for them and those are some of the strongest friendships i have and other ppl in our circle are usually shocked. That for me is how I feel the approach to motherhood has changed. Mums say they want the village but don't want to accept it when its there

I say Motherhood is like an adventure, some days are tough some are good.. •You will change •You will loose friends •Your relationship with your partner might change either +/- •Post partum depression is tough guys •Expenses will double • your patience will be tested

Wow! This was such a blessing. Enjoyed this one for sure.

So much wisdom over here...thank you Sharon 💖🙏

What a powerful episode ❤. I have learnt a lot.Judy Nyawira brought me here little did I know I could hear more powerful women like her. All the ladies in the show. Baraka!

Thank you for this panel. I concur with every word. I haven't experienced mother hood yet but I'm on my journey and I am very nervous. Thank you for telling us the truth. I feel relaxed just by the truths given here. Ps. I had no idea Tracy was a mum. She is so smart. Tracy, you'll do well with your baby.

Wow really enjoyed this episode.....Hilarious too

*And the hunger that comes minutes after eating. * the farting or air escapes and gas in the tummy. Best thing I did when I learnt I would be a mother was reach out to my mum and ask for help,also healing my inner child and resolved that I will never be a perfect mum,I will say sorry I made a mistake!

Lovely episode ❤

This was so amazing. Personally I think I was about to expect my partner to be a mother but mmenisave😂😂

Very timely episode. Really what I needed to listen to... Insightful points ❤

Well done to you moms,do i really want to go through all that hard life,just for the reward of being a mom,sidhani!

Loved this! 👌🏾🥰

The fact that I'm going through this right now. My baby is 2 weeks and breastfeeding is haaaard . It's alot.

this was so beautiful to watch. Very impactful. Julie is so strong . Thank you beautiful ladies for this episode.❤

This is an interesting episode. I am a mum and wueh, I couldn't agree more with what each has said. Motherhood is not as easy but is one of the most fulfilling and beautiful journey a mother can be on. I loved how each kept it real but at the same time insisted on how experiences differ from one to the other. Good job BKS.

I loved the conversation

Julie Kariuki was my schoolmate, always an amazing positive 👌🏾💯

Very informative❤❤

Great convos ❤

So real I can relate to your points. Surround yourself with the best people during the first days of your baby

Ooh my My fears 😢😢 Good episode

Am a mom to a 4yr,2yr old and 8months pregnant,everything is crazy right now especially since i don't have a nanny but hoping for better days ahead.

HEY☺,i had my baby 1 day to my 22nd birthday 5 months ago and am trying to relate to you all....especially Judy.Had been thinking of looking for a job because i miss having my own money you know but this has really helped me look at it in another angle and perspective.Thank you alot my big sisters🥳🥳🥰🥰.

That post pregnancy sweat smells HORRIBLE. You even fear yourself. 4th trimester is the worst. Great conversation ladies.

Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. Not yet a mum, but definitely learned a lot that I know I'll carry when we get there. Some of us may not have people to engage on such topics as openly as y'all shared, so it does really help to see you ladies do this. Thank you Sharon for organizing this!

Judy will probably grow to be a very PROTECTIVE mother

Love you girls

She's good vibes

I have a friend who just gave birth at 22 and her breastfeeding experience was very painful so no age doesn't matter when it comes to pregnancy and breastfeeding.

At least am not alone, my daughter is 11yrs and I cannot go out with friends when she's home, mom guilt would kill me inside.

Julie 🎉🎉🎉

The breastfeeding part is scary. My reaction is just like Sharon 😢😢

I didn't even know Tracy has a child ala!

there is alot of pressure and stigma if a mum cannot exclusively breastfeed and as a clinician i tell my patients to substitute with formula.......the stress will already decrease production so why not substitute
