The new chapter
As promised there will be more blogs to come, Life for me is a tad bit complicated. For those who do not have children please do not judge younger mothers who are making the best of there situation. Yes we chose to have the beautiful blessings god gave us, but no one i do not care at what age is ever ready to care for another human being. People continue to ask me for advice about having children, how to prepare, or what to expect during and after pregnancy. So this blog is for you! As a teen mother i have learned to get successful you have to learn to make sacrifices. There is a time to be (selfish) and a time to be the most amazing mother you were set out to be. With pregnancy there comes several new emotions you could never truly prepare to deal with but there is a way to cope. Become friends with other mommies is my number one advice without other mommy support your going to pull your hair out with your new found hormones. There are so many what is the right or wrong thing you should be doing but motherhood is all on how you deal with it. Its a joyful time with friends and family and embrace that moment for it goes by quick. How to prepare. Well when you feel comfortable to share the exciting news there are several cute ways you can go about doing it to kinda kill off the nervousness. Dont be alarmed when there are people who dont seem (happy) for you because thats not is everyone takes pregnancy in there own way there are gonna be people who support you and be excited for you and then there are the people who are going to put you down and ask what the hell are you thinking. AGE doesn't make a difference to how good or bad of a mother you will be or already are. I dont recommend girls getting pregnant at 16 years old for your life is just beginning and you wanna enjoy the few teenage years your granted but please be ready for the major sacrafices there are to come. Parents are always the hardest ones to break the news to but know they love you and will support you no matter what happens to you in life. they may be disappointed but all the more motivation it gives you to prove to them you can do this and once they see those cute adorable faces they will have to come around. I mean who can resist a baby? Early signs of pregnancy for first timers usually do not come around till 8 weeks but all bodies are different. Make a doctors appointment speak to your OB and take the next step. When the time is right for you announce the news. Hormones are natural your gonna be moody annoyed and bitchy a lot its not you its your hormones and you do earn the free pass IM PREGNANT HELLO! haha. Nesting and cravings all come later i say mid trimester middle of your second almost to your third thats when you find out what your having, showing, and ready to start getting things for the new bundle of love. I always always always tell friends get the what to expect while expecting book its a pregnancy bible and it will answer all questions friends or pregnancy sites can't. And if that isn't enough ask your DR. Once baby comes get a routine even though your baby is a few weeks old if you set a routine and stick to it all the way till they are one you will gain your sleep back. the first years are fun. I always say dads may not come around till once the baby is here only for the sake that you have an instant bond the moment you find out your pregnant rather than dads who cant truly bond till they hold there child. so ladies dont fear that he isn't excited he is just doesn't fully sink it till that baby is saying hello im ready to come out. For working moms have no fear its natural to have more separation anxiety than your baby but were new moms is scary and no one ever wants to leave something they adore and love so much but they will be fine. and if you need to go out for fifteen minutes then try longer periods of time to be away till your comfortable moms do need there social life as well! I love being a mom with sacrifices there are beautiful and special moments to come raising children. your never alone any worry you have someone else has im not the mommy expert but as a young mom trying to make the best of life as i can its hard. I wont deny it. Some days i want my social life, or to go out, or to have a glass of wine, and for those who dont have children dont put down any mother unless you have all sources saying they are an unfit parents its not easy there is so many emotions and frustrations that its natural to need some mommy time alone. Motherhood is a wonderful "club" to be in and i wish all women who deserve to be parents have the chance to be parents. Never feel alone because someone out there is probably thinking the same thing you are or have the same worries as you but in the end they will love you no matter what and still cuddle up to you with those warming smiles that makes your rough day better. Its a time to learn and make mistakes everyone is going to parent different and have different views outlooks and experience never judge because its not easy.
