Postpartum is messy, physically, mentally, emotionally , and no one tells you the truth until you’re already in it.

In this unfiltered postpartum Q&A episode of Baby Then What, Amanda and Jessie answer the real questions moms are asking but rarely say out loud: sex after baby, postpartum weight loss, marriage changes, pumping, mental health, and that overwhelming Groundhog Day feeling where every day feels the same.

We talk honestly about:
• Postpartum recovery the first vs second time around
• Marriage after baby, the roommate phase & divide-and-conquer parenting
• Postpartum anxiety, depression & when medication or therapy helps
• Weight loss that won’t budge, hormones & breastfeeding
• Sex after birth, pain, expectations & vaginal recovery
• Pumping, breastfeeding, Haakaa confusion & why pumping is exhausting
• Being a single mom or feeling like you’re doing it all alone
• Breaking the postpartum Groundhog Day cycle

If you’re bleeding, leaking, rage-texting your partner, questioning your body, or wondering when you’ll feel like yourself again, this episode is for you.

Motherhood doesn’t stay the same, and neither do we.

In this episode of Baby Then What, Amanda and Jessie share a real life update on pregnancy, motherhood, burnout, and what’s actually going on behind the scenes.

From being pregnant with baby #3, to navigating different stages of motherhood, to emotional exhaustion, mental load, and identity shifts, this episode is raw, honest, and deeply relatable.

We talk about:

• Pregnancy with baby #3 and how it feels different

• Burnout, overstimulation, and mom mental load

• Motherhood identity changes over time

• Lowering expectations and protecting your energy

• What’s been hard, what’s been lighter, and what we’re learning

• Where Baby Then What is headed next

If you’ve ever felt like you should “have it figured out by now” you’re not alone.

Welcome back to Baby Then What, today we’re talking about all the things we wish we knew before becoming moms for the first time… now that baby #3 is officially on the way.

From delusional sleep expectations to Pinterest-mom fantasies, postpartum shocks, newborn chaos, relationship meltdowns, mental load guilt, and letting go of control, we’re unpacking the motherhood lessons we learned the very, very hard way.

If you’re pregnant, TTC, deep into postpartum, or just quietly spiraling at 2am… this one hits home.

• What we believed before baby #1 (and why we laugh now)
• The things NO ONE tells you about postpartum
• Baby #2 humbling us in ways we didn’t expect
• What actually matters with a newborn
• What we’re not stressing over with baby #3
• Our list of “things we wish we knew” , from relationships to pelvic floors to schedules to mom guilt

We’re answering questions like:

“Did motherhood look anything like what you imagined?”
“What was your moment of ‘Oh sh*t, this is nothing like I expected?’”
“Did baby #2 heal you or humble you?”
“What would you tell your pre-baby self now?”

And of course… things we wish someone whispered in our ears before the first baby arrived, the honest, messy, unfiltered realities that only moms understand.

Because spoiler: you don’t become a mom in one moment. It’s a slow build, a thousand heartbreaks, a thousand miracles, and a version of yourself you didn’t know existed.

If you ever said:
“Why did no one tell me this?”
“You will survive this.”
“OMG, I didn’t know motherhood felt like this.”

Then this episode is literally for you.
