6 weeks postpartum with 2 under 2 | how i'm REALLY doing

[@BethGraceMoore]

Thank you guys so much for all the sweet messages in the past couple of weeks - truly has meant the WORLD and I love y'all so much!! PS so sorry for any random banging/constructions sounds in the background of this vid hahaha... my life right now

[@taraleasure]

Thank you for opening up about how you’re feeling. I had my first baby 2 1/2 months ago and I’m struggling with some mild postpartum depression. I never thought I would be one to struggle with PPD but one thing I’ve had to come to terms with is depression does not discriminate. You’re doing amazing mama.

[@sarahp3144]

Congrats on your baby!! I’m really sorry you are dealing with that mama, I hope you are able to get (and accept!) help. So important not just for you but for your LO. Hugs! ♥️

[@rsrs-cw1jh]

The fact that you are still making videos so frequently whilst looking after your babies is so applauded by all of us ❤️💖❤️💖

[@ericagoehring1089]

The way she says "hold Jude" is so precious!

[@debchaffin]

your videos has helped me so much navigate life as a first time mom with a 7 week old. thank you!

[@grassrootedgal]

I’m due with our first baby January 15th! So excited, seeing you love on your babies and make time for your marriage as well while keeping the spirits up in the house (especially that clip at breakfast) is very encouraging! Best of luck transitioning to receiving that help you need to do what you love ❤️

“I’m having a hard time. Period” Amen❤👏👏

Totally get the mom guilt thing! I stay at home full time and work from home full time and I lasted about 8 months with my first baby until I realized I needed some help during the day. Now we have a nanny come twice a week for 5hrs…the reality is that my baby girl gets to have some undivided attention from the nanny for those hours and I get 10hrs of uninterrupted work time during my week which is huge!! We recently found out we are pregnant with baby #2 and I fully intend on having help with this baby even earlier than the last because it’s worth it for my sanity! Don’t feel the shame, you’re doing your best mama!

[@damarisgarcia87]

I completely understand the mom guilt! I work full time and have a very demanding job. We don’t have family nearby so we don’t have much help. I didn’t want to send my baby to daycare (because of mom guilt) so we ended up hiring a nanny. Even that made me feel bad but now that my daughter is 17 months and we have a routine I’ve learned that it’s ok as long as you know that the person watching your baby is good and have the same values. Now, she (our nanny) is part of our family ❤. It’s also been SO good for my mental health. The best part about working from home is that you can still take breaks here and there and you don’t feel like you are missing out on big moments 🥰. You got this!

[@BethGraceMoore]

Love that!! You did what was best for you AND your baby ❤️

[@GoddardFamily]

Hi, mum of seven here. I don't fully feel back to myself until 9 months postpartum. You're doing great 🙂

[@taylorarmstrong3048]

Vivi singing Jesus Loves Me - so so precious!!!

[@Faithbilin]

Having my 2nd soon my oldest will be 3 when he arrives, very thankful for these videos as we prepare!! 💙

[@Tapcg]

Thank you for being honest. I had my first about the same time you had Jude and I also have found it hard to get a daily routine which like you I need to help me feel me. You are doing amazing and thank you for sharing

[@bekahstairs]

Love how honest and open you are in this! So thankful for you!

[@Karina-en4jf]

You are such a great mom!

[@BethGraceMoore]

Thank you 🥹🤍

[@Mamato3]

The first 2 weeks after birth I tend to feel so loopy and emotional too. I just had my third baby and I always feel like I'll never get out of the baby blues when I'm in the midst of it. Transitioning from 0 to 1 baby was tough, from 1 to 2 babies was very hard for me too. The most recent transition from 2 to 3 has been easiest, but it is never truly easy if you ask me! Hang in there mama, all will fall into place! Also, I always get my period back around the 2 month mark and have felt like that's waaaay to early. I'm so sorry it's even sooner for you!

[@tahlia4189]

Beth, you are such an incredible Mum 🤍

[@BethGraceMoore]

Thank you so much 😭

[@JamieTecson]

Im amazed you even have time to vlog 😭 8 weeks pp and its so hard 😢

[@cynthiajones4332]

Have mercy on me, O God according to your unfailing love, according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. Psalms 51:1,2 Please belive and repent today.

[@Isabelpaquette18]

Thankful for these videos at 28 weeks with my first 🥰 your babies are so cute!!

[@SoFetch0]

I am 3.5 weeks pp with my second. It can be very difficult. I am truly lifting you up in prayer to our Father in Jesus’s name. Read Psalms 91 even if you don’t believe, bc it’s full of promises to help you when you are in need. Take things minute by minute when it’s cloudy or hard to feel the joy. I’m right here with you impatiently waiting on my baby to latch and to feel like myself again. I suffered severe ppa with my first 10 years ago, but even then before I knew The Lord, He rescued me. He will rescue you from any storm big or small. ❤❤❤❤

[@mbwilson8592]

What a beautiful message. Praise God for lifting you out of such a dark time. Now you're able to truly empathize and provide encouragement to other women.

[@vianeyv96]

Thank you for being so real. I’m 6 months PP and I still don’t have it figured out 🥴 Please keep telling nap times.. I always ask myself where other bloggers kids are while they vlog Good for you for going out on a date. Still haven’t done that (why is there so much mom guilt? 😭)

[@hinacorovlog]

hey! I'm a mom of 8 months baby boy. I'm happy to watch your video💛　from japan. and nice home. 素敵なお家💛

[@joreedo0830]

My son is 16 months and I feel like I have nothing figured out.

[@MotherRabbitsKitchen]

Great job, mama! Love all the smooches you lay on your sweet little guy. I still do that to my boys and they are 3 and 6. 😂❤❤❤

[@laurenwilliamson3562]

You are doing amazing mama 🤗

[@molleejojohnson6559]

So I got pregnant with my little boy in Feb of 2021, had him in Nov of 2021, breastfed for 8 months all the while having no period and 2 months later, I found out I was two months pregnant lol! So AS SOON AS I stopped breastfeeding, I got pregnant 😂 so now, I’m almost 6 months pregnant with our little girl. So I haven’t had a period in like.. 1 year and 9 months. And won’t for another 3 months AT LEAST. I’m okay if I don’t have a period while breastfeeding again 😂 CRAZY right

[@LaurenMeikle]

How many hours of sleep would you say you’re getting at the moment? And how often does Jude wake up? Sleep deprivation is the biggest contributor to baby blues and mild PPD for me 😢 My baby is 2.5 weeks old 💕 I also struggle with not having as much time to spend with my toddler, we’ve always been so close so I’ve been feeling incredibly lonely! My husband does everything with her at the moment, it’s hard!

[@katelynnarcher3072]

Thank you for the honesty and openness! As a full time nanny, I can guarantee the parents I work with are amazing parents! I bring my baby girl to work with me so I can’t speak from the parent perspective. However, don’t doubt your effectiveness as a parent because you ask for help. God made you their momma for a reason and will give you peace about whatever decision is best for you and your babies!🤍

[@jadabrown2493]

First!! Love you guyss 💕

[@ericagoehring1089]

Bodies are so funny! My period stays away until about 1.5 to 2 YEARS postpartum.

[@BethGraceMoore]

The Lord has blessed you 🤪

[@jasmynsreality]

I didn’t get my period until I stopped breastfeeding at 10.5 months postpartum and it was effective birth control for me lol

[@kelseyfam9393]

When did you stop bleeding? We had our babies days apart and I bled until 4 weeks had a few light days and then bled again for about 1 week. Wondering if that was my period 😬 I’m also exclusively breastfeeding Also what bottle are you using when you go out? My baby girl will not take a bottle of any sort. Super stressful for when I have to go out

[@BethGraceMoore]

I stopped bleeding really early this time!! It was fully done by 2 weeks pp and I only wore liners for that second week. So it was far enough away enough and with cramps so I knew for sure 😂 for bottles we use Phillips Avent with a size 1 nipple!

[@kelseyfam9393]

@@BethGraceMoore gotcha. Thanks so much for taking the time to respond💕💕

[@elisabetc13]

How do you do Natural Family Planning while waiting for your period to come back postpartum 😳

[@BethGraceMoore]

Condoms and patience while my body regulates hahaha 🤪 my period has come back at 5/6 weeks pp both times though!!

[@tinbernas5947]

We've recently launched a book business called Personalised Children's Books, they are personalised learning books and we have FREE downloadable materials for your kids! I'll be happy to send it xx

[@brookemartinmacapagal5026]

Girrrrl, I’m 7.5 months in w 2 under 3 and still am flying by the seat of my pants, so no worries! 😂… Also, so curious, and maybe you’d do a whole video on this, but how do you do natural family planning while breastfeeding? Maybe this is diff for me too bc last time I didn’t get my period back for a year, but I just didn’t know where to start w it while breastfeeding. I’d love to try it, but also reallllly would like to delay a 3rd a few years until our family has more stability.
