@ellesmaddry: Well this got increasingly more chaotic 🤣 But you get the idea. I think there was some bliss that 90s moms had in not knowing what they didn’t know, and leaning on other women in their life for support rather than the internet. I’m all for using the tools we have now, but what I don’t want to do is outsource my connection to technology and miss out the opportunity to connect with real people in a season that already has the propensity to feel more lonely. It’s so interesting to me that all this information in the name of connection, has actually stripped us of the villages we desperately want (and need)! I’d love to hear from 90s moms about your experience with motherhood! How do you think your experiences vary from the experiences new moms have now? #motherhood #firsttimemom #postpartum #90smom #newborn
Completely agree, sometimes too much information is worse!!

google basically had me convinced i was starving my baby because his feeds are 15-20 minutes and not 30-40 so i texted my best friend in a panic and she’s like “nah girl if he’s showing you he’s done then he’s eating what he needs, just a little quicker”. why in the world i didn’t start with her, i don’t know 😂 she breastfed for a year with my godson so she’s a wealth of knowledge and also like you said, it feels better to hear it from someone you love

My husband and I are praying to get pregnant right now and we have 2 friends who already are, if we do this is 100% convincing me to create a groupchat where we go to each other and a couple seasoned moms for questions instead of freaking ourselves out on google lol

Honestly, I was worn from a friend about nights two and three and that made such a big difference. I feel like sometimes we’re scared to be real with new moms because we don’t wanna overwhelm them, but I would rather be prepared and know it was gonna be bad.

Ugh. This makes me so sad bc I only have two friends. One has had kids but they are 10 years old now. One will never have kids. I literally do not know who I will reach out to. 😭

I was just saying this to my husband!! I think I need to stop being targeted with information overall on social media 💀 my mom and MIL tell me just how chill it was and I envy that.

The overabundance of information has really affected my mental health. Just texting my cousin who has 2 kids instead has been so much better for peace of mind vs google telling me I’m a bad mom

There was also so many women around them who were having babies (and multiple babies) I only have two friends who have babies. I have a few more acquaintances who have babies but in thr 90s you had all your friends get pregnant around the same time

Yes. Because I luckily had my people in my corner that always replied. Now when my friends have babies, I constantly check in with them. I always make it a point to check on them before I check on baby. I had lots of sleepless nights bawling my eyes out with my baby. I’m trying to prepare myself for my second due in January lol
