ONE MONTH POSTPARTUM UPDATE Q&A

[@JessMurgatroyd]

I'd totally recommend a baby carrier for chores....I got loads done wearing her cause she would only sleep on me as a new born..

[@ambera7159]

0:49 I can just picture Christina holding Barrett in the middle of the night, and singing: *WHAT’S KEEPING ME UP AT NIGHT? YOU’RE KEEPING ME UP AT NIGHT!!*

[@Noemie112]

omg 😂😂 i laughed at this

[@pipercampbell2144]

wait you're telling me she's already had a baby for ONE MONTH??

[@jenzar]

Yeah its actually been a bit longer

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

Yeah she had her son on August 3rd lol.

[@sharondingle1607]

Right

[@rachelmedling8695]

I am 8 months pregnant with my first and I LOVE the realness of this video-the love for the baby and still openly discussing how hard it is. ❤️

[@thatgirl7551]

Congratulations, wish the best for you and your baby xx

[@MNGirl]

Christina, from a mom of 5 young kids to a new mom, I just wanted to take a minute to encourage you that God is big enough to handle everything that you're thinking, feeling, hoping for, etc. Motherhood is often the tool that God uses to stretch us to the point where we realize that without Him we can do NOTHING. I love the quote, "anything that makes me need God is a blessing", although it's certainly easier to say than to walk through😩 I remember having postpartum depression with my first, although I didn't realize it at the time, and being up in the middle of the night with him exhausted and my mind would run through all the "what ifs". I would sit there and think, "I can barely do this. How could I also take care of a 2 and 4 year old, as well as homeschool a 6, 8, 10, and 12 year old?"😳 As it turns out, God always gave me wisdom and grace for that day when I cried out to Him, and I could trust Him with the future days as well. In addition to your therapist, which is a great idea, I want to encourage you to reach out to your Christian friends who also have little kids/babies. It's easy to neglect those relationships when you are swamped, but motherhood is a lonely and exhausting road to walk alone. We need each other to keep pointing each other back to Jesus as our source of strength😁 One last thing, daily anchor yourself to the TRUTH by reading the Bible and praying. I would read the Bible on my phone while I was nursing. We have an enemy of our souls who works through exhaustion, hormone changes, and pain to lie to us about who we are and who God is. Don't give the enemy a foothold... Stay anchored to God no matter how big the waves are. He is trustworthy and He is good!❤❤❤

[@chriscim]

Wow love this thank you so much!!!!!! 💗💗💗

[@Silv1a]

Once you have your first, the rest are a breeze but your first child is definitely a shock to the system. Hang in there you will do great

[@chriscim]

That’s great to hear!!!

[@im_n2740]

Haha I wouldn’t say a breeze.. my mom had four children (I am the oldest) and when she had me, she went into labor 2 weeks early and my umbilical cord was wrapped around me weirdly and I got stuck in the birth canal and my mom was in active labor for 34 hours before they did a c-section. We both almost died... Then the two middle pregnancies were good but then my mom got pre-eclampsia with her last pregnancy and my mom and baby sister almost passed away. (My mom had 4 c-sections.)

[@lydiabell2423]

Christina, you are so amazing! Whatever your worries and fears are that come with being a new mom or anything in general, just remember that God is with you no matter what. He watches over you, your husband, and your beautiful new baby boy, Barret James. He is so cute. There is no need to stress about anything, God has you wrapped up in his hands.

[@EntertainmentFan11]

Happy to hear you're doing okay after Barrett's birth, Christina! You're gonna be an AMAZING mom, and when he grows up and he sees the videos on the Cimorelli channel, he's gonna be like, "I feel so blessed to have such an amazing family!"

[@cimfam3762]

I haven’t even watched this yet but you’ve already made my day lol, lysm

[@fiveh3340]

it's so great to hear that you're reaching out to so many people for help! often times, new moms wouldn't do that because they feel this sense of shame when they can't do it all on their own. baby bear is lucky to have an honest mom

[@nadiaaaa22]

i can’t believe its already been a month!!! christina is so strong 💗💗

[@KShih]

Congrats again on having a beautiful child! I’m sure you are going to be and already have been an amazing mother! I wish you, Nick, and baby Barrett good health and all the happiness in the world because you deserve it!

[@kelseymclean3429]

Christina you look amazing, I hope you and Barrett are doing well. You are incredible and inspire me so much. You were glowing during pregnancy! I love how truthful you are and that you speak the truth about anything, so thank you! Barrett is perfect love you all ❤️❤️

[@ola8454]

[@Lily-ks1ul]

[@Shmally44]

I would have water poisoning 😂

[@jessicazajac9886]

Shmally44 ahahah

[@aleejakhan7413]

Omg yay can't wait to watch this. I love hearing your journey and experiences through pregnancy and motherhood. Ive been an auntie, for 12yrs, since I was 5, nephew and 4nieces through the years. Hearing your perspectives is nice, you've done so well, you're an amazing mother...I love you Chris❤️xo

[@thatgirl7551]

Aw hey I'm an aunt too, I have two nephews and four nieces, it's been my life pretty much since I was 3, it's really fun being an aunt tho xx

[@Noemie112]

how are your families doing all those girls ahaha, i got 1 niece and 5 nephews (those boys are so nice, i would not give them away at all, but my aunt heart wants to buy cute fluffy dresses 😂)

[@avaleon6746]

9:57 ahhh you answered my question, thank you:)) im the same way about sleep. love going to bed early😂

[@1234lisak]

The hair loss usually starts around 3 months postpartum. Congratulations on your little boy! 💙

[@junezs]

Hey Christina! I can't wait to see little Barrett grow up! The little dude is so lucky to have 5 amazing aunts and one awesome mother (you, of course)! 💛💛

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

He also has uncles!!!

[@je.rgl_28]

I can't believe it's already been a month.... AHHH TIME IS FLYING BY SO FAST!!! God bless y'all!😊😊

[@gracevogl3602]

When my sister was adopted, a friend composed a song for her and named the song after her. I think it would be wonderful if you and your family would do something like that for Barrett ♥️

[@jenzar]

1:52 I’ve heard that most people experience hair loss with their second baby. That was what happened when my mother had my second sister, and it also happened with my Aunty. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

I don't think my mom experienced hair loss but she did tell me that with each pregnancy her hair got darker!!! Pregnancy is funny XD

[@de5072]

I lost so much hair with my son (I only have one) from months 4-7 I was worse than my dog

[@hannahbaird6844]

hair loss often doesn’t happen for a few months because of the drop in hormones

[@breonawarren1507]

It can happen with the first kid, and every kid. I read (idk how true this is) a way to lessen hair loss after hormones drops is to take post-natal pills. Like Pre-natal pills but they are supposed to help with the after effects of birth

[@lizardwizard6067]

Please make a video about how you felt about bonding with him please. I’m very interested in hearing about that💙

[@signsofaprincess]

Ok so I’ve not watched this yet lol but you just made my day 100% better it’s been kinda rough and it’s been a painful day so this means a lot, ilyyyy!!!! 💖💖

[@jessicazajac9886]

💕💕

[@bkessinger94]

My daughter started sleeping 6 hours at night starting at 6 weeks. We also transitioned her to her own room. Everyone has told us that really helped. I did not breastfeed though. You got this, girl. My daughter is now 2 years old. I promise it does get better and easier. It is really good to have a night time routine!!

[@brih9613]

i hope you and your husband and baby are doing well, and the rest of your family! sending love to you all 💖

[@annas.4077]

You are one strong lady. I'm on my second and 34 years old and... never again! 😆 I'm sooo sleep deprived I feel like I'm gonna die. I feel like the older you are the worse it gets. When I was 29 and had my daughter it wasn't that hard for me but now... OMG! I feel old 🤣 My son is 1 and still not sleeping well. I want to sleep so bad 😂

[@amandaquinton9763]

Thank you!!!! Everything you talked about is everything im going though right now, just had my son, the 15th and its been a roller-coaster, but I am lucky to have my husband too, hes truly been amazing:) love you, you are not alone.

[@ola8454]

omg your hair looks so pretty!!🥺🤩

[@Zaralynn2010]

Hey Christina, I think you are doing very well as a new mom, sometimes the loss of freedom can be a shocker but you are doing well, be gentle with yourself

[@anniesmith5739]

hey Christina, I hope you're doing alright. It's okay if you're not though. I had PTSD after giving birth to my first daughter and just wanted to say your feelings matter too. I had a C-section and felt robbed about that 'magnificent' experience of giving birth 'naturally', and dealt with a lot of emotional turmoil, flashbacks, etc afterward. This may not be relatable to you but wanted to put it out there, you are important and loved :)

[@PaigeYesLee]

We Love Barrett James 😊❤️🙏 Thank You Christina ☺️

[@ola8454]

your videos literally make my week i'm so exited

[@chelsealjosey]

I am not in a relationship, not pregnant and almost positive I dont want children, yet I'm still here! watching and obsessing.

[@ariona5664]

Can’t wait to watch ☺️!

[@meganyounger4842]

Do you view your mom differently now that you have had a miscarriage, a stress full pregnancy and then almost dying from blood loss?

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

Aww I can hear Barrett crying ♥♥♥♥♥

[@kaitlynepetronio51500]

ily to infinity and beyond forever and you are my inspiration and role model and you are my favorite Cimorelli sister 💗

[@signsofaprincess]

Yayyyy so happy to watch this update, I’m so glad you’re doing better lol I saw on your story, ily..... 🥺💖

[@ava2829]

Christina, Barrett is so cute! Also I know this is your choice but when you get pregnant with your next baby, you could ask people to comment in the comments name suggestions. Also I love the band you are in with your sisters!

[@ABradford2]

Girllll the post partum hair loss starts around 3-4 months. I didn't have a ton of hair growth during my pregnancy but the hair loss was crazy. Hopefully its not so bad for you!

[@tingting5268]

You are really the best mom ever!!!!

[@addisonjoseph5313]

[@Catlover-le1ku]

Christina you're so strong! I love you Barrett is so cute I love him

[@jourdynbrown1086]

With my first, I had a lot of physical difficulties than mental. I also had an emergency C and it’s TOUGH. Also I’m 4 years pp and my stomach is still numb from my c section! I’m due with my second in January so I’m hoping my scheduled C goes way better! I’m just expecting to never fully get all my feeling back. Haha. Make sure to sleep when he naps/ sleeps!! That’s the only way I got well rested for the first few months. I always slept when he was sleeping. I knew I needed good sleep to be a good wife/ mother and just a good person ha. But it does get better!! It does. This too shall pass mama ❤️

[@ola8454]

i love you🥺❤️

[@dustylouthan]

I had a C-section, it’s a super hard recovery! I just started feeling my belly like 6 months ago. So for the majority of the first year I didn’t feel it.

[@cuca_]

Remember that these videos are work too! So you are actually working already . ❤️

[@gracevogl3602]

Opened my phone and went straight to this notification 😂

[@sharondingle1607]

I put myself to sleep too. I can fall asleep in one second. My mom has always said I did that as a baby

[@darrenwanamaker3326]

I hope you’re taking good care of Barrett ❤️

[@urbpro]

I totally understand what you meant when you said that you and Nick were closer but also distant. When my husband and I had our first child, it felt like physically we weren't as close but it also felt like we were in a club of just the two of us where no one else could understand because we were the only ones who were parenting this particular child. If that makes sense. It felt like we had changed but together and no one else could know what that was like. I don't know how to explain but we definitely felt so much closer, emotionally. Like we spoke a language no one else understood? Argh. Either way, I get it. You guys are both closer and more distant than before, lol.

[@mirrorballmik]

did i just break my wrist? yea. is this cheering me up? yea :)

[@blazingvictory3260]

[@emilykarns9901]

I doesn't have much hair growth during pregnancy.. but the hair loss for me ramped up at 3m postpartum, slowly slowing down as we are getting close to 6m pp

[@darrenwanamaker3326]

Your hair is so beautiful 😍

[@cimorelliqueens9644]

ILY Christina so much ❤️

[@audreyrieland9731]

[@annas.4077]

Usually it starts after 3 months or even later.

[@brianagrzybowski4734]

One thing to remember above all: The only perfect mom to walk the face of this Earth was the Blessed Virgin Mary. If you don’t measure up to her standards, you’re not a failure. You’re normal. 😃👍🏻
