I feel this! I have decided to not pay too much attention and start looking at things when it gets closer ☺️ its so hard to remember and keep up.

I feel the same! I was given two baby books, I haven’t read them, it’s too much.

Im ok with the Labor stuff but Im just going to take it day by day when baby is here. Eventually we all end up doing whats best for us and not exactly how we get told to do so.

Honestly, you're going to Google everything a million times anyway. Just do whatever works for you, safely. ❤️ There's so much information out there, but babies still don't come with instructions. You make them up as you go

It is definitely so different for First time moms in this era with so many different videos and stuff out there, if you have questions ask your doc! But I definitely wouldn't just do something or not do something just because you seen a video. Ask an experienced mama, someone you know and trust! You can't expect to get rich asking advice from someone who is broke and thousands of dollars in debt. Same thing goes for parenting advice. You can't expect to get good advice from first time mamas because let's face it! You're doing it for the first time and you don't know everything. I'm on baby number 4, and I would say I'm pretty good at this mom stuff now but my first and 2nd kiddos I was still learning a lot! Every parent is still learning every single day, No matter how many kiddos they have.

@Brittany Staley yeah i usually skip the videos these days, im in a pregnancy group/class my hospital offers so its nice to be around all kinds of moms! (1st time moms, moms on their 2nd or 3rd etc.)

@Vee thats going to be my approach; just taking it one day at a time!
