2.11 10 Things I Wish I Knew 10 Years Ago at My Baby Shower

10 Things I Wish Someone Told Me 10 Years Ago at My Baby Shower

(and if you did, but I was too stubborn to listen, I apologize)

In our latest episode of Whose Kid is That, Julie reflected on what she would go back and tell herself 10 years ago when she was pregnant…

1. Stop eating, this weight is not going to be easy to lose for you. Keep moving!
2. You are not tired. You have no idea what tired even is. – sleep when the baby sleeps
3. Stop assuming childbirth will go how you planned – you need to be prepared for both vaginal birth or a c-section
4. All of these gifts are great, but your baby probably won’t like 90% of it.
5. Breastfeeding is hard. Like really really hard.
6. Just wear the baby.
7. Choosing not to go back to work is an option.
8. Trust your instincts.
9.  It’s okay to take care of yourself.
10.  It gets easier (before it gets hard again)
