What to Know Before Pregnancy

Why didn’t I know any of this before I was pregnant?! In this video I share with you all the things I’ve learned about this fascinating pregnancy journey. From knowing what to do with your placenta, to breastfeeding, to why I decided to have my baby in Sweden! There’s so many things to talk about!
It’s been beyond a challenging journey, but with freedom comes responsibility. Thank you for all the love and support and a huge shout out to all the mothers out there doing their best!

About Shameless Maya
"What would happen if I shamelessly promoted myself for 365 days?" My channel started out as a social media experiment, and now it's a lifestyle. I hope my journey from shame to shameless inspires you and others not to be ashamed of who you are and to share and celebrate that shamelessly. Here on my channel, you'll find videos on lifestyle, inspiration, fun transformations, techie vids for aspiring geeks, beauty, fashion, and so much more.

[@shamelessmaya]

Thank you boos for all the love and support. If you learned something here or elsewhere please share it in the comments. This will probably be my last video here until post baby. You can also catch me on my other channel since Max is on top of our editing. But for now, thank you for all the positive support and stories. I truly appreciate it! Shameless Mama out!

I am pregnant with baby number 2 in my late 30s. I was young, tired, and uncomfortable at the end of my last pregnancy. I agreed to an induction at 40 weeks eventhough I was against it prior to. I was lucky and it caused no complications. In hindsight, it may have been best because baby was a bit over 9 pounds (no diabetes and healthy weight gain). I still don't recommend it unless medically needed. Those contractions are not normal. If you are a new mom, especially a low income mom, or mom of color, please make sure you talk to your support team about reminding you about your delivery goals when you're not "in your right mind". Support is super important.

I am not pregnant or planning to become pregnant but this was very informative for me. Stay awesome Maya!

Maya, your level of (self-)awareness is inspiring. I love that you're honest about your struggles with this lifestyle. The responsibility that comes with freedom is something I think about quite often. I would very much like to step out of the matrix, but I want to be very real with myself about the amount of discipline it takes to be able to do this. Thank you.

There is something about the video that feels like the miracle of life. Maybe it's the pregnancy, the flowers and your personal growth. I really like what you said about freedom and responsibilities. In my personal journey, I realized something similar: the more we want whether it's things, relationships or status, the more challenges we will have to face to succeed.

In Switzerland everyone drinks water from the tab! Even in the biggest cities the water comes from the glaciers! I cannot imagine how horrible would be to drink chlorinated water yeaks

[@girlwiththemagicpen]

We would drink from the taps in Norway too, and in my father's house in Nigeria. The only difference is that once I returned back to Norway from a trip to Nigeria, I could taste the metal 🥵.Yuck The water we drank in Nigeria was very fresh, and you could feel it.

[@vbiddy]

You are amazing for taking a leap of faith and moving to another country, on the country side at that! Living in a major city has its convenience, but also comes at a price. With everything going on in the world, you made a wise decision. Nothing worthwhile comes easy, as you know. Blessings to you and your family. You will be a great mom and your baby will have balance, peace and be healthy. Nothing worse than worrying about your drinking water and air you breathe.

[@shapemailife6878]

Since I am giving birth in 2 weeks or so, I loved this video. I have two other kids and yet still learning a lot. One of the things I did this pregnancy that I did not do with the others is to create a postpartum plan. I noticed that I could have REALLY used that with my other babies. My husband and I DID plan on what to do if I started showing signs of the baby blues (and only having positivity in our home) but never for anything else like meals and things like that besides the first week. I'm so glad to see you're doing the same.

I wish this had been an option when I had my kids! I would harvest the stem cells and store them for your baby (just in case) and encapsulate the rest. I'm hearing that encapsulated placenta is really good for rebalancing hormones after the birth.

[@DReid-ry9ff]

Me too!

[@mayawallace7627]

Yes they are. Mom of five here and my name is Maya too and we are the same age. My midwife said the pills can last til menopause and taken then.

[@Whimswirl]

Please don’t eat placenta. It has no scientifically proven benefits and has potential risks. The placenta is full of toxins as it is a filter that filters toxins. www.livescience.com/amp/60680-eating-the-placenta-health-risks.html

[@hollaatthekid1796]

You can plant the placenta in the ground and plant something over it like a tomato plant. ❤️ ( oh! You said that next, lol!)

[@fatemaalzari837]

Love how you have taken this experience to be sacred 🥺 Blessings to you, Max, and your baby. Wishing you a beautiful birthing and after-labour journey. Thank you for sharing all the things we never learned, it’s so insightful to see that we do have a choice! Also, preach on Freedom equals Responsibility-can be hard to swallow sometimes but the truth is liberating. ❤️

[@AngelaAmbroiseconsulting]

Maya I breast fed all 7 of my kids for 1 yr. baby it is a beautiful experience but it can be difficult and painful at times. I found it easier to sleep when my babies slept and I would wake them up to feed them instead of having them wake me up. My breastfed babies ate every two hours to the tee! I put had the babies in the bed with me most of the times for my sanity bc I was sleep deprived. It was harder on me bc I never allowed my first 3 babies to drink from bottles until about 6 months to avoid nipple confusion. It is frustrating for mom and baby when the baby gets nipple confusion. I had so much help as far as people making meals and coming over to help.

[@mariehall3832]

Did you know that 166,000 expecting parents saved their baby's stem cells in 2016? The stem cells in cord blood are currently approved to treat over 80 medical conditions, including lymphoma and leukemia. They are being explored as a treatment for Alzheimer’s, diabetes, autism, cerebral palsy, and a host of other conditions.

[@kaylebowens141]

when you plant, break the roots up a bit by giving it a little squeeze! 💕

Maya, I’ve been a follower since the beginning of your channel! I have watched you grow as I was growing and it’s amazing that our journey is very similar in so many ways. I’m currently living in my new home in the country with a baby on the way too haha. I’ve got into planting and sustainability also. I went from being a city living, fashion obsessed, runway makeup artist, to a woman who knows her worth, sets boundaries and takes care of herself. what a journey from where we started.

You could compost the placenta and then you can use some of it and plant a small tree for baby and watch it grow as baby grows.

[@lianagerhardt]

Also be prepared if you’re not going into labor at all. I was 41 weeks and 6 days before they induced me (I went to a different hospital than my care). My baby did not want to come and I was not dilating or contracting at all and I tried EVERYTHING!!! Apparently this is common for first births. I just want to say be open that things change. I at first was so upset because I thought my body failed me but my son is 9 months now and we are soooo happy 😊

I know women who waited 43 weeks. As much as I'd like the baby to arrive on my timeline, I'll wait until they're ready

[@digitsandfidgets]

Also isn’t the woman’s body and the connection to the baby. For me my son was born in the OR and immediately went to the NICU. Took 8 hours before I could meet him and that was with me pressuring the nurses to let me go. What was beautiful though about it was putting little blankets for the baby on my chest and getting my scent on the blanket and having my husband bring them to our son and bring back the one he had on him to me to have next to my chest for helping my production. It was absolutely amazing despite it being a sad time. It is amazing.

Wow!!! Thankfully he’s good and you did eventually see him and have a beautiful reunion 🙏🏾✨

My kids are grown and your video is straight up eye opening, especially with regards that you can decide what to do with the placenta and "cord clamping. I don't know about now, but here in CA they don't ask you sh*t; just cut it (if you're the father you have to ask), drop it in a bucket and take it away, and I never knew how much "street value" the placenta has, too!

I envision a world where we all do things that we enjoy and the fruits of those are shared with others, so we all benefit and we all contribute in our own way.

Good stuff! I wish I had known this back 20 years ago. I labored at home with my first child for 72 hours. I had to get to 3 cm before they would take me. My third childs heart rate started dropping and I had to have an emergency c-section. I ended up being so thankful for my epidural. Not being in a lot of pain really helped me enjoy the process more. I have 7. My youngest is 17. My 26 year old daughter is having her first. She was very easy bc I did most of the laboring at home. By the time I got to the hospital they were rushing me into the delivery room to push. I didn't have any pain meds with her. I wish you so much happiness. I've always wanted to visit Sweden. I've been a bit afraid bc I wonder about their racism. I recently received my DNA report and saw where some of my ancestors are from there.

I’m so glad you did your research. I had a hospital birth with my first child because I couldn’t afford the birthing center I wanted. With my second, I had a home birth and it was HARD, but I’m so glad I did it. I had placenta smoothies, and I couldn’t taste the placenta at all. If your base for the smoothies is pretty strong (I did Açaí), it takes over and that’s all you taste.

Thank you! They do not sleep 95% of the time. My energy bunny turns up throughout the day and especially when I desperately want to sleep.

[@shamelessmaya]

Right!!!?!? Same here!

[@ninastone9054]

Awww. Lol when you said " surely you must know " in a max voice. So cute and funny.

[@albertacristie99]

I wouldn’t recommend you to eat the placenta at all. Just because it is THE place that filters all the toxins ( pesticides, environmental polluent, heavy metal) I have a BA in biology and did my thesis on endocrine disrupters… surely i can send you link on studies that measure environmental polluants in pregnant women. The placenta is one of the organ they study to measure that.

Hey Maya, if you want to get your feet wet in all the knowledge surrounding this topic, a good person to start with is Barbara Demeinex, she has 2 books published on this matter, which are destined for a regular audience. ( 1)'' Loosing our minds'' (2) Toxic cocktail. There you wil find all the plethora of studies that are concerning this topic.

You are right plancenta is full of toxins. In my culture we bery it on the way you are link with your mother land

5:56👏👏👏👏 you're getting some great knowledge. It is so beneficial. Plus they rush to cut the umbilical cord waaay too soon in the hospital.

Love these types of videos, love your energy. I'm also pregnant and you make me want to do better for my child.

You are so blessed 😊 I lived in Switzerland 🇨🇭 and I could smell the cows every morning. I learned so much. I even baked homemade croissants in a tiny European refrigerator and oven. I would go a little stir 😜 crazy especially in the winter when the days were shorter. But you are 💯 right about the corporation’s. I said the same thing literally today. We are a small part of the problem. You are amazing and wishing you all the best! Thanks for the lovely video

Maya I always love it here! You're such an inspiration. Congrats on your bundle of joy!

Definitely going to go in on the online midwife/nurse practitioner - Especially since I am giving birth at home in a birthing tub, naturally no pain killers 😁 Yep! 😚 I am going to be exceedingly brave about it 😰😫 Hopefully 😁 lol

[@catalayatern2251]

Make sure you are close to a hospital if anything goes wrong it can go south quickly. Best of luck!

[@wildanimalbotanicals1147]

We burned the cord...instead of cutting it with a handmade candle. Also planted the placenta and then planted a tree on top..an almond for my daughter, an apricot for my son. Best piece of advice for during birth from my mid-wives..breathe! Because you are opening and if you hold your breath..you close up..so trying to be relaxed is key and breathing. Bach Flower Rescue Remedy is nice...blessings.

[@veliciawilliams5865]

Maya, there are so many things new moms don’t know until you are actually pregnant. What’s interesting, it is absolutely different for everyone. No woman has the same experience. And every pregnancy is different with each child you have. And pregnancy looks wonderful on you.

I can't wait to see the natural birth in natural living. I have a huge fibroids, so my obgyn said I will need surgeries (my fibroid is too hig to shrink it naturally). Wishing you happy 3rd trimester. Oh and I got a Q Link necklace a year ago against the EMF. Helps tremendously 👌

[@janamarley2336]

This video was very relaxing it’s too late now summer is almost over but I so wanted to go buy some plants and plant them. Next year for sure I had no idea gardening was so soothing. Good luck Maya on your pregnancy I have 3 children so much information now than when I gave birth.
