What We Expected Vs. What Actually Happened (After Giving Birth)

This week, Aleen and Brittany are finally back together for this
catchup episode to tell us how their prenatal expectations compare
with reality after giving birth. They start with some of their
recent challenges of parenting, like figuring out babies’ sleep
schedules (and the physical toll it can take on the body). Plus,
Aleen tells us how her mental health has been, moving Mila into her
own bedroom, and how creating healthy (and guilt free) separations
has helped. Then Brittany shares a breastfeeding update and her
dramatic visit to the gyno. Finally, it’s time for a a new segment
called “Plan vs. Reality,” looking back into the things they
thought they’d do, including childcare options, their most-used
nursery items, and thoughts on their post-pregnancy bodies. Learn
