10 things I wish I knew before becoming a mother | my advice for first time moms

[@jackielapash9346]

This could not have been posted at a better time! I am being induced tomorrow and am a first time mom! ❤ Thank you.

[@courtneycapano]

oh my goodness Jackie I’m thinking of you!! you got this mama 🫶🏼

[@morenitaaa7575]

Thank you so much for speaking up about how it is so important as a mother to take care of ourselves and to not feel bad about it, I really needed to hear that 🥹🩷!

[@lilly8803]

I’ve been following you since you were pregnant - Now here I am 9 weeks pregnant with my first ❤

[@courtneycapano]

sending you so much love during this special time mama! 🤍

The point about being at your absolute breaking points was extremely relatable. I remember with my son in the first month, I vividly remember thinking "I can't do this. What have I done??" And wow I feel so guilty about these thoughts cause now he's 2 and I don't regret a single moment with him ❤

[@courtneycapano]

we’ve all been there!! I feel like every mother has that memory of their lowest point but it only made us all stronger - I really believe that 🤍

Beautiful video, Courtney ❤

[@stephanies2335]

Beautifully said and I could not agree more! As a new mom it was so hard for me to prioritize myself too those first few months. Now, a few months in and I watch your videos while I’m on the treadmill, taking care of me, while my baby safely and happily watches while playing on the floor close by. Thank you for putting my thoughts into words and validating me too

[@courtneycapano]

i love picturing you taking that time for YOU, it’s important 🤍🤍🤍

[@wessliann]

Totally needed to hear this 🤍 the world puts such a negative light on becoming a mom anymore, so this was so encouraging!

[@courtneycapano]

🫶🏼!

[@samanthabaxter8688]

I relate so much to the knowing the best thing for your baby... I have never been a confident person about anything in my life until I became a mama. I know I am the best one for him and I am confident that I am a great mother.

[@courtneycapano]

love to hear this!! and I relate more than you know 🤍 motherhood is such a gift, even with all its ups and downs

[@aoc349]

Thank you ❤ so many things are playing on my mind now that I'm 19 weeks pregnant, thank you for your insights and honesty, you made me feel soo much better!

[@courtneycapano]

Tip #1 hits home!!! The literal truest statement

[@NicoleWagner-oi3nc]

A bath after getting the twins down, and hanging with my girl is just what the doctor ordered 💁🏻‍♀️

[@courtneycapano]

[@jordanpitman7928]

When you said I wish I would have known what postpartum would feel like That hit me So true maybe we wouldn’t be so quick to judge others Post partum is hard I now have 2 under 2 and after back to back pregnancies its so tough

[@courtneycapano]

its the hardest job in the whole world & we can feel so alone in our thoughts, doubts, feelings etc but we aren’t 🫶🏼

[@lostlavinia3238]

Why dont you have more likes and subscribers?! 😊 Edit: I was experiencing the pink cloud nine feeling from the first moment, but my husband plummeted into a depression. He felt so guilty. It got better around 10 months 😊

[@courtneycapano]

It always gets better, I’m so happy you’re both in a better place now 🫶🏼

[@kathiedepontbriand7258]

Very good , thanks for sharing ! 👍💕😁

[@unapologeticallyromel7096]

Love your channel ❤

[@87jennlynch]

Im glad you mentioned that women need to be their own advocate so that they can take care of themselves. Our culture is full of overly exhausted women who, as result, are quite critical (understandably so). It is sad because really there's no reason dad cant hold the baby for 30min while mom takes a shower. Its wild to me.

[@courtneycapano]

I agree completely, & it’s sad that I was so scared to even share that I prioritize a daily shower because I was afraid of the judgement. but it’s so important that mothers fill their own cups too 🫶🏼
