DEALING WITH RECURRENT MISCARRIAGES + QUITTING MY JOB? | Q&A | Lauren Self

[@crcb4]

I know every mom is different but I don't know how any mom wants to go back to work. For me I loved being home with my kids...it flies by and I wanted have that time...not a preschool...or babysitter. I wanted to be with them and spend time with them. I get all my me time after the kid time. Because now that my kids are 20 ,17 ,15 and 4...I miss those days. I wouldn't change it. And although I worked alittle they were with me at the preschool. And I would just encourage moms....stay home . That time will be gone before you know it and you will never get it back. Don't let others watch your kids. If you can do it sacrifice it's so worth it in the end.

[@MaryssaAlbert]

I'm so excited for you, and the transition to two babies has been different for sure...but two babies has been life changing in the BEST way possible. You're going to rock it!

[@LaurenSelf]

Maryssa Albert I am so excited honestly!!! It looks so much fun. You seem like you’re rocking two kids and I hope it’s easy like it looks 🤣💛

[@audreyf.1170]

I agree on the part that you do get used to the miscarriages, unfortunately. You become numb and kind of “if it happens, it happens” which kind of sucks because you want to be excited so bad but then fear kicks in... did they ever give you a reason for the recoccuring miscarriages? I’ve had multiple early miscarriages and one at 8 weeks in October 2018... I just never went back to the doctor to find the reason why

[@jessicagabriel6794]

Audrey V. In one of her recent videos she explains that they went to a fertility doctor and she had low progesterone.

Jealousy has been a problem with our oldest daughter. She loves her little sister so much. But definitely gets jealous. So we make a conscious effort to make her feel involved! I was terrified going 1-2 but it has been so amazing. I love watching them together and the way they love each other is amazing. Brody will be the best big brother 💕

[@LaurenSelf]

Colbi Jacobus this is my worry! I will include Brody in everything so he feels important too!

[@ccdance0806]

Lauren Self you will be amazing ❤️

[@aryannamadrigal6763]

I had a miscarriage at around 5weeks in January 2019, got pregnant on February 2019, and I'm currently 16weeks.❤❤ I'm loving this longer journey, but every day is so terrifying. May God bless you , and all of us mommies to be throughout this journey of ours.❤❤ this would be my first baby God allow it. It's a girl!💕

[@BlancaStucki]

That’s what I’ve done, I gave it all to God to handle. I’m currently pregnant with MoMo twins (very high risk pregnancy) stay strong ❤️

[@juliaarnold1078]

Blanca Stucki please update when possible ❤️

[@abak3948]

I am so invested in this new baby!! So excited

[@TheMoranFamily]

Always thinking of you and your little babe during this pregnancy journey 🙏🏼💗

[@LaurenSelf]

The Moran Family likewise, mama!!💕💕💕

[@laurenfalzone3739]

I had the neck acne so bad in the first trimester with my daughter 😂 I feel like that’s such a sign for a girl! But regardless of gender I’m so happy for you ♥️

[@mtlchick30]

Oh god, I feel you! I’m on maternity leave right now, 8 months in and I’m itching for me time! Since I’m in Canada we get a year off and I find that the perfect amount of time. I love having this time but I also love working, making my own money, and having my adult time. Congrats on your pregnancy, I wish you a healthy and happy one! ♥️

[@marinasparks1675]

After 2 years and 8 months I was burned out as well. My daughter is now part time at school and I feel better.

[@AmeliaDavies]

I went back to work at 12 weeks as well -- took four weeks before delivery and 12 weeks after. The first day was literally the hardest and I cried because I was leaving my tiny little baby. I'm so lucky that both my MIL and mom are retired so they care for Owen while my husband and I work. But after we got into our routine it became much easier to leave. Me time is definitely nice and it's also nice coming home to my sweet baby boy that I missed so much! Being a working mom is healthy and I don't blame you one bit for choosing that route!

[@LaurenSelf]

Amelia Davies thank you!! It helps to know they are being cared for by family. I wish the US had extended paid maternity leave but 12 weeks is pretty normal I hear!

I can see you love what you do, you talk about it with such a passion:)

[@LaurenSelf]

Lenka Kaclova I definitely love what I do 🥰

[@katelyndiaz2940]

Love watching your family! I’ll be praying for y’all. Also congrats to cory for going back to school!

[@LaurenSelf]

Katelyn Diaz thank you! I’m excited for him 🤗

[@serenityprice1767]

Just subscribed! I just had a chemical pregnancy at 4 weeks, and I was feeling a bit discouraged but your channel gives me hope. Thank you. 🥰

[@Chaos.and.cookies]

Any updates? ❤️

[@abak3948]

I really need to learn to watch the entire video before commenting! But I comment as I watch 😂. I love love love that you carry Blair’s ashes around the house. That’s just the sweetest. Stupid question, is it better for you if we don’t “skip the video?” Ok I’ll shut up now 😂

[@LaurenSelf]

Mama Bak I honestly don’t know if it helps or not! You do you boo!!🤣💕 hahaha thank you!

[@mariannaxoxo123]

Wishing you all the best Lauren. No matter the outcome, know you have support! Thank you for sharing this journey, you never know what god has in store for you. We just had our second on April 19th, transitioning to two has been..... fun 😂 I definitely cry most days but I know it will get better!

[@isleymarie1839]

[@dianageffrard835]

Hi! What are you tips to conceive and prevent miscarriage base on your experience? Thank you!

[@joannhollar3149]

Ugh I wish I was close enough that you could do my brows! What are your thoughts on microblading?!

[@BrittDomanski]

I’m so nervous to have two kids too! So many things to think about lol

[@BrittDomanski]

Ugh I feel so pregnant too and have been breaking out like crazy lol!

[@heatheroday9311]

Positive affirmations aren’t lame! Lol don’t feel bad for putting yourself in a positive place!

[@clappazorki-ki5283]

Love your energy .!I’ve had 2 ectopic pregnancy and one chemical pregnancy. I do have a rainbow baby she’ll be two on March 31 st. I’m on the tww 🤞🏾 I felt symptoms since 1 dpo hoping I’m pregnant 🥰

[@noneyabusiness8738]

I’m pregnant now. 21 weeks. And I’m considering taking a full time job. I wish we could dm about it😫 it’s a hard decision to make for me.

[@natalyalilly4704]

just subscribed; looking forward to watching your journey :)

[@katieb9472]

Hey girl! Love your vids! what was the weirdest/ creepiest/ scariest thing that someone has said to you or asked you on social media??? 😘😘

[@heatheroday9311]

Yes..... I didn’t know how to explain it. I’ve had 3 and the second 2 did hit me as hard.

[@emilymoppin8246]

You're the sweetest woman you're so strong.

[@LaurenSelf]

Emily Johnson thank you 💛

[@emilymoppin8246]

Lauren Self I had a miscarriage recently and I currently have a 14 month old. It helps watching you to get past it💛

[@maddieheartsmakeup1]

Being a SAHM is not for everyone. I’ve been home for 21 months and I’m actually joining the navy now. I’m itching to go back to work.

[@LaurenSelf]

Madisyn Lynne congrats!!!

[@crcb4]

I have had 13 pregnancies but I only have 4 kids. I lost 9 precious babies. It is so painful to consistently lose a baby.

[@Pinkplampuffate]

I’m just wondering, how come if you work at a lash studio you don’t get lashes?

[@LaurenSelf]

It’s just me and my boss and between the two of us we’re too busy with clients to put lashes on each other and are unable to maintain them. We’d rather have no lashes than lashes that always need to be filled and in turn not look their best. 😭

[@sgreen11379]

then you have to have 3 kids then 2 boys in one girl

[@breannagrice6849]

I live in Italy and they do put pineapple on pizza it’s called “the American”

[@abak3948]

Also, I really have a strong feeling this baby is a girl. I’m usually right for some reason.

[@LaurenSelf]

Mama Bak we will see!😬

[@juliaarnold1078]

How much money do you spend in a day for daycare in America?

[@LaurenSelf]

Between $40-60 a day in my area

[@juliaarnold1078]

Lauren Self that’s insane, I’m not from the US but it’s unreasonable to expect parents to be able to afford x 5 a week, I asked around and most people I know regardless of employment or earnings are paying $6.50 in Australia per day.

[@peachxtaehyung]

Sorry i just am now watching this i didnt get a notif for it

[@alexisreyes4179]

Then turn your notification bell on

[@peachxtaehyung]

@@alexisreyes4179 i have but sometimes it still dont notify me. Lol i think i know how its supposed to work... I have only used and been subbing to channels for 4 or 5 yrs now...

[@alexisreyes4179]

Wow I never knew you had 6 miscarriages. Why you letting your body going through so much stress

[@LaurenSelf]

Because I want children. Also, I don’t “let” it go through so much stress. Some people just don’t have good luck when conceiving.
