[@BeaAnimals]

I'm not a mother but I really appreciate all the content you've done. It is useful seeing such honest experiences of motherhood

[@brittanybalyn]

💗

[@laue_fst]

🙌🏼 YES

[@imjennim]

Ughh, I appreciate your updates so much! Thank you for constantly keeping it real and candid about your journey. ♥️

[@brittanybalyn]

Thank you Jenn! 💞 I look up to you and your content and I’m honored to help even 1% in your journey. I can without a doubt say, you are going to be an amazing mom.

[@annatheres3]

You're going to be an amazing mom Jenn!

[@lesitravis9746]

@@brittanybalyn I 100% LOVE your updates and your honesty! You are so right about the eb and flow of loving your body and finding new things to learn to love about your body! I love the way you put it! And side note..I SWEAR by amber necklaces! My son wore one for the first 3 years of his life and he never fussed once while cutting his teeth! I took it off at night buti always put it back on him and I could tell a difference if I forgot to put it on him! He just turned 8 and he recently lost his two front teeth and he was in a lot of pain when they started coming in and after doing some research I learned that when they loose their front two teeth their palette starts to expand and move to accommodate larger permanent adult teeth. So I went and got a new amber necklace for him and he is cutting his second front tooth and he hasn't had any trouble..definately notice a difference from him cutting his first front tooth without the amber necklace! Highly reccomend!! Way to go momma! Keep up the great work! Arrow is precious!

[@margar96]

So many filters and fake with influencers. It’s so nice and refreshing to have someone keeping it real. I wish I had this video when I had my first baby in 2016

[@celinedyrby3994]

I love your honesty about motherhood, even though I’m not a mother myself yet. Many people think that women just “pop” back after birth, but that’s only true for a very few women. I just wanted to say thank you, you’re such a strong and powerful woman and girl, you look amazing!🌟🙌🏽

[@vanucoria]

I had never seen anyone being so honest about postpartum and weight, but also including a disclaimer and a timestamp. I love your content. Thank you Brittany!

[@kimchi__doll9309]

The part where you talked about loving your body really stuck with me. I’m 10lbs heavier than pew-pregnancy but i swear I look 30 lbs heavier. Some days I love my new body and some days I look at myself and cry. Thanks for your honesty and being so real, it’s so nice to feel understood !

[@auroraautumn8764]

Same. From 122 to almost 150.

[@catiepaquette850]

I know the feeling...I have a mom pouch now, stretch marks, and 15lbs heavier. Its been a serious struggle.

[@almagarcia9081]

Same ... some days are good some others I just can’t deal with the way my stomach looks

[@amanda.c.ice.]

Same! I still have such dark stretch marks and loose skin on my stomach and I get really down about it some days. Soooo happy to hear you talking about body positivity!

[@callmeclaireee]

I refuse to believe it’s been 9 months already ?! She’s getting so big 🥺🖤

[@katiechristianson1775]

I'm sure it doesnt seem like it but you have such a good head on your shoulders and the way you care about others momma. Arrow is so lucky to have you as her provider! Also yay for postpartum journeys! 8 months for me tomorrow from my 2nd preg and loving it.

[@mickeylynn5833]

I'm 8 months tomorrow as well with my second! ☺

[@iktibarrapkat893]

I needed to hear everything that was said in this video , I’m currently 22 weeks pregnant and I am so grateful for everything that my body is going through. And you look amazing, and thank you for sharing your journey with us.

[@brittanybalyn]

Aww thank you, you’re doing amazing!

[@elainebaker9933]

I'm also 22 weeks

[@keenadawson2587]

I’m 22 weeks pregnant today and I’m so nervous but so excited. Her videos have been helping me so much prepare myself

[@kadv2172]

Congratulations to all of you 🥰

[@lauren6860]

24 weeks 🙋‍♀️

[@Phoenix-vs9ys]

Very true about the 6 weeks point. It took me 12 weeks to be “cleared” and still I didn’t feel back to normal

[@heyitsanabell]

I love the fact that you are so positive and upbeat but also still so real. 💕 you acknowledge the bad without letting it consume everything💕

[@shelb.yyyy.]

you’re incredible ahh. i’m 9 weeks postpartum and i’ve been watching your journey since the beginning of mine. i appreciate you so much girl 😩❤️

[@sierra1846]

I’m 9 months postpartum too and I really appreciate your sentiment that every body and every recovery is different! I have a long ways to go until I feel and look like myself again and I’ve been getting down on myself about it so this was helpful 🥰

[@tiaratran]

The way you word things is always so respectful and inclusive. And of course I appreciate your real ness. I’m 5 months PP and learning to be patient with my body.

[@courtneyshears5335]

I just wanna say thank you for being so real and showing us the “GOODS” and also the “BADS”!!! Love all your videos, thank you!

[@amanda.c.ice.]

Thank you for making this video! Everything you said is so true! Everyone’s journey is so different and we all need to focus on our own timeline and love ourselves instead of comparing ourselves. I’m 7 months postpartum and I feel like I only started feeling like myself when I was 4-5 months postpartum.

[@TheOriginalRachFace]

I just found your channel and I’m so impressed with you! I’m 6 weeks pp with my third baby and I really appreciate your candidness. The reminder to be patient with my body is one I really needed to hear this week. 💕 I look forward to future videos.

[@Catherineraee]

I’m currently 6 months postpartum and can’t tell you enough how much I needed to watch this video today. Thank you for sharing your journey with us 💛

[@katiereay3130]

The end of this with baby just constantly needing you and talking at you was just how my last few days have been. It's so tough but I'm so glad to see I'm not the only one who can get nothing done! Thanks for sharing.

[@LuvzYouLots03]

Love watching your videos while babygirl is napping. Started watching yours while I was pregnant now I’m addicted. love how real you are about everything!!

[@nataliec.9524]

I love the way you’re so genuine about your life and having a baby. You and arrow are so beautiful! Also your hair looks fantastic! Continue thriving!

[@nikkitube8816]

3 months PP here and I appreciate these updates so much! You can be “thin” and still have a lot of body changes to go through!!

[@alliehaynes8849]

Thank you so much for #4. Seeing your body change so drastically after creating your little one is such a bitter sweet experience and being able to love the new you is such a challenge no one wants to be open about.

[@momo_2164]

Haven’t had any children yet but appreciating this so much. I think about pregnancy and how I’d be during and post pregnancy. Thank you!!!

[@elicastro7286]

Im 8 months postpartum thank you for sharing things do get better.... I was mentally messed up didn’t get any help till recently people need to talk about things like this love you for that, ❤️

[@janfam]

4 months postpartum with my second and gosh you are just a breath of fresh air. So raw and real about your body and journey, because yes girl it is a journey.

[@isabelmariah]

That is so thoughtful of you to let people know ahead of time that you will include your numbers/weight. You’re so sweet

[@prplrhinomilk]

I love seeing these, I’m 9 months postpartum today and I’m FINALLY feeling like I’m in “my” body again if that makes sense. You look amazing, you’re a goddess 🌈 ☀️

[@mariatsaturova7003]

Thank you for sharing the numbers honestly. I know some people can be sensitive about it but for some people like me that’s very helpful. I was so worried about how much weight I’ve gained and nobody ever shares their experience so it just helps to see someone in a similar situation. Thank you! Love your content!

[@rafaelamiranda880]

It's so good to know I'm not alone in this. And my gosh, you look gorgeous! 😍

[@BeautifulInsideHere]

Thank you for the honesty! Tbh I’d love if you’d keep some of the struggles you edit out because it just adds to the honesty. Thanks for being so real with us!

[@drx6139]

I already commented but I just want to say I WISH I had this content as a guide (not a manual, I know everyone’s journey is different). I had a hard time asking for help. My mom would offer to send her cleaners to my house and I would say no, like I was supposed to be super mom! I was crying sometimes and hid it for awhile. I finally came to terms that I HAD to ask for help, and it was okay to accept help! I wished was easier on myself. I appreciate your transparency, especially when it comes to your body. I asked myself those questions: “who is this...?” This is such good content for anyone else who is going or will be going through this same journey! You’re doing and awesome job and an awesome mom! Love to you and your little one!

[@katringlass2140]

thank you for sharing so much! my sister is a single mum and i'm gonna send her your channel cos this is all so helpful and real!! mothers are another level of amazing!

[@moniquehorner6592]

Appreciate the honesty and how comfortable you are talking about these Motherhood things! Love your vlogs so much amd watch you religiously!

[@kristinarivera575]

thanks for sharing and always being so positive!! 6 weeks postpartum over here and its nice being reassured that i deserve to give myself grace. 🤍 sending love + light!

[@RosyJaye]

It's so helpful watching your updates as I'm 2 months behind your journey. Really helps with my next steps with bub!

[@sarathompson7061]

Thanks for sharing your update. I really like how real and honest you are. Arrow is getting so big.

[@madisoncordell8074]

You are incredible, I know we have no clue about Cody’s participation but from what can tell you do it all on your own and it’s so impressive, Arrow is lucky to have you as her momma!

[@riashanley6016]

Thank you so much for being honest and real!! I’m a new mum and really struggling with my postpartum body. I feel I can relate to you so much. Just watching a couple of your videos has already helped me to view this journey differently x

[@atMsLisssa]

I needed to hear the body loving tip.. 4 months pp soon and I have been so hard on myself. Your videos have helped me so much throughout my own journey, you’ve inspired me to start vlogging!

[@jillmichelle748]

I’m due next month and I’ve been really loving watching your videos. Thank you for always being honest and real! You look fantastic! I hope I’m able to bounce back like you have ❤️

[@riahwhipple5654]

I’m so glad that I found your channel shortly after becoming pregnant. It really is a journey! I’m currently 27 weeks the body changes have been difficult to accept. I appreciate your honesty and being straightforward. It’s really helped me as my body has changed. Thank you!

[@vlael2387]

I’m not postpartum yet but I am pregnant and I think your insight is helping me mentally prepare for all these changes my body is going through right now and will go through. Thank you sooo much

[@cubangirl00]

Brittany can you make a video on how to cope with stress or anxiety whilst being a mother, specially to a young child?

[@emilymyers6196]

Please

[@kbee271]

I don’t know who wants to hear this, you are going to be stressed and have anxiety and it’s normal. Just remind yourself that your journey is so special and it’s made to change you. Any change isn’t easy so the first step to take is acceptance, accept your new body, new thoughts and feelings. I promise you are going to feel brand new. Always be grateful and try to make yourself laugh at everything even if it’s supposed to make you stressed. As women we are stronger than we think, we are designed to go through it all. No matter how hard it could seem there is nothing we can’t take 💐💗 all the best to all of you !

[@emberk6678]

Your comment about the six week healing timeline is so true! I was technically “cleared” at this time, but I’m now eight weeks and feel nowhere near normal. I’m thankful to hear your advice about giving myself time and grace. It can be difficult when you pop on social media and see a bunch of other moms supposedly transforming right back to their pre-pregnancy selves. After going through this process myself, I believe there is probably much more to the story than people are showing.

[@ilinasandler1013]

My baby is 7 months. I had a 4th degree tear that needed follow up surgery to repair. I 100% sign off on all your tips. I also appreciate how you delivered them with thoughtfulness and kindness. Thank you!!

[@wendymunoz3860]

This was so helpful. I needed to hear this, I’m a month postpartum and it’s so hard to look at myself. Thank you so much for keeping it real ❤️

[@allipike6679]

I needed this. 2 months pp and have been def having my own body issues! Thank you for being so transparent!

[@stephaniewilson7980]

3 months postpartum enjoying and documenting as many moments as possible. thank you so much for your transparency ✨

[@ShyliaaSaurauusRexx]

This!! Thank you so much for this. I’ve been struggling so much to be okay with my csection scar. My body is so different from what I anticipated and I start to feel bad for feeling bad about the scar when I made my little human. It’s hard to feel like your body’s normal or to get used to it. My baby’s still in the nicu because I had an emergency csection at 29 weeks and I feel like I should be keeping all my focus on him and appreciating him being okay rather than being so upset about my body. But then it makes me feel so fake body positive when I don’t like my body. It’s so nice to not feel alone.

[@roxanneg1453]

Almost three months postpartum and I just really needed this today. Thank you so much. 🤍

[@diodaswieci6579]

As a pregnant woman in 6th month, I am so thankful to you! I am so emotional during my pregnancy that I cried, because I felt so much better listening you. I really appreciate your honesty and just talking about struggles and your journey as if we were friends 🥰 love you, love the content, you're amazing!

[@breondabohm6095]

I just rewatched the birth vlog this morning, time is flying! Thank you for bringing us on this journey with you

[@lilyvega8903]

You are so wonderful and so positive!!! It truly makes me want to be nicer to myself and just love and celebrate who I am right now. You seem so genuinely happy. It is inspiring. You’re awesome!!! Arrow is lucky to have you as her mom.

[@raecat90]

Love that you do these updates! You look great. I love that you say that it takes time to heal! Also, Arrow taping the mirror at the end is adorable.

[@burpzs]

I’m 8 months pregnant now and I’ve been watching all your videos since I found out and they really helped keep me happy throughout it. So just... thanks mama 🥺💙

[@naomihunter21uvt65]

I cried so much at the beginning of this video, I needed someone to tell me this six months ago. I was beating myself up so much and mom guilt is real, sending you and Arrow so much love 💕

[@heymiaawooo7015]

I Love Her Already Your Personality Is Amazing!!

[@AshtenArmstrong]

Thank you so much for your honesty about the postpartum. I love hearing other peoples stories and it’s hard not to compare. I am seven months out and I ended up having to have a C-section and the recovery has been extremely tough. Constant back problems and I just feel like I am not doing the best. But your videos help get me through the doubt in myself.

[@rosygarcia6442]

Omg idk why watching your video made me cry so much. Postpartum has been so hard for me mentally and I feel like I’m slowly healing but it would have been so much fast if I had someone who could walk me through everything. Thank you for sharing your journey so much. Trust me it will be helpful for every woman out there who is about to go on the postpartum journey. ❤️

[@_Botanical_Alchemy]

Thank you so much for this Video Brittney. I'm almost 9 months postpartum, I struggle with the acceptance of my weight loss. Alot of your journey, 😊 was my journey. I also had the diastasis recti. Thank you so much for you inspiration and positive outlook. Big hugs girl. 💜 💜 🖤 💜💜

[@GlamFairy99]

This video was honestly so helpful. I’ve been following your journey since you announced your pregnancy and I remember connecting so much to your story. The struggle of getting negative pregnancy tests and everything. Not long after in April of last year I found out I was pregnant. My little girl was born in December and I feel like your videos have helped me so much. Especially through this postpartum journey of my own. Thank you for always being 100 percent honest and real ❤️❤️❤️

[@itscarolinemary]

Not a mom yet but even in general, loving your body and its uniqueness is a life long journey! I love your content so much Brittany! I'm going to return to these videos one day when I have a little bub inside me too :)

[@Sam-qt5ff]

Thanks so much. I’m currently 3.5 months postpartum and I feel so much better knowing I shouldn’t expect myself to feel normal yet. None of my clothes fits and that’s okay! It doesn’t matter

[@mw0ellie]

I really appreciate your honesty, you’re beautiful inside and out! ♥️ glad I found your channel a while ago.

[@kris_adventures96]

I’m a first time mom barreling towards delivery and I’m scared. Not just of the actual act of birthing a baby, but of the postpartum journey as well. I’ve had a love/hate relationship with my body for my entire quarter-century lifespan so far and I don’t expect the aftermath of growing and delivering an entire human being to be all flowers and sunshine, but watching videos of real people and their real experiences gives me hope that even though I’ll have plenty of bad days, there will be good days too. And while I can’t compare your motherhood journey to mine or mine to someone else’s, I’m finding comfort in learning what kind of experiences I can potentially expect. Thanks for this video and for talking through your transition to motherhood! 💕

[@carleendatuin4445]

I love that you share these things with us ... appreciate how raw you are with us 💕

[@paulila2652]

[@irenedelatorre9063]

Thank you so much. I am 50 years old post partum. Two months in. I feel like a wreck. My body feels like an polo machine that needs running the weight came off naturally, but I am not in shape and everything hurts. Thank you for your honesty!!.

You are just a gem ❤️ I’m currently nearly 4 months postpartum and agree with everything you have said Keep being you and amazing x

[@biankiz86]

I love how real you are. I’m currently 6 weeks postpartum and having a hard time accepting my new body. The real scary thing is actually working out and dieting and nothing changing. Thank you for showing us what a real body looks like.

Also 6 weeks postpartum and saaame. Not easy that’s for sure.

You’re such a beautiful person inside and out ❤️ Thank you for making this for us!

[@meghancopsidas4241]

You truly have helped me so much throughout my pregnancy, I feel like you’re a friend who I can go to when I need advice, I just turn on one of your videos lol. I’m due on the 17th (5days away😳) and I’m going into it single. I had to leave my toxic/abusive ex last month.. and ironically you seperated from your relationship as well. Seeing you become a bad ass single mom has given me so much hope for myself that I CAN do it and I WILL be okay. I just wanted to thank you for always keeping it real. 🤍

[@marvilitalejandra]

All of your videos have given me so much more confidence with my pregnancy. I am currently 35 weeks, with premature contractions and medicine to prevent my baby to come too early. But still very happy cause everything is perfect with him. I have seen all of your videos more than once 😬 Just because they are too fun to watch. Learned so much! Bought so much too haha! And loved every single one!

[@mandasue85]

You are so graceful, open and honest. I love it. You put me at ease and make me feel it’s okay to give myself the time to heal. I used to be gung ho into working out before pregnancy and have felt so much guilt because I can’t get myself there to find the balance and energy to work out again. I am also 9 months postpartum and I go through days I love my body better than before and some days I’m like let’s suck this in a high waist!!! Lol

[@user-vn6xo2tc9r]
