don't push so hard when you go into labor, remember: breathe in & out slowly during each contraction until delivery.

Or, if the hospital has services available, request a water birth room; or ask the Nurse to break your water to speed things up

Don't be afraid to discipline said kid ...teach them by good example ..teach them how to deal with their emotions in a healthy way...and don't allow them to bully or be bullied..be their strongest advocate on this lonesome 3rd stone from the sun... however... Don't be in denial if their wrongdoing...

love your kid unconditionally. be understanding, not condemning.

Trust your instincts. You may be scared and doubtful of how well you'll do but we're pretty much programmed to take care of our children because of our survival instincts. One final piece of advice...get all the sleep you can now because once your baby is born you won't sleep soundly again lol Whoever came up with the phrase "sleeping like a baby" clearly never had kids lmao

Patience you're going to need it.

Don't blink they grow up so fast and you'll look back and life will have passed you by. So cherish every moment and don't forget to make them

Learn patience. It’s the most important pillar of motherhood. I probably still test my mine beyond the grave

No I’m not kid oriented
