I’m Not Ready For A Baby… (Full Episode)

I just think of Khloe Kardashian! And look at her!! She’s an amazing successful mom!!! I feel like you’d be a mom similar to her!!

this is wild… I used to fall asleep watching videos about tarot and manifesting every night, hoping for a sign that something would finally shift. I believed in manifestation but didn’t know how to make it actually work. Then a friend recommended manifest and receive by E. Hartley and it just instantly clicked. The way Eva explains things, it’s like she’s speaking directly to your soul. That book is the reason I’m living my dream life today. If you’ve been waiting for a breakthrough, this is it❤️❤️

awesome 💫

great vid!

I’ve just had my 3rd baby, so now my oldest and youngest are 9 years apart. I’ve learned that Gods timing is always perfect. When we stop controlling it all and allow his plan to unfold, it’s so unexpected! I could never in a million years plan to have any of my kids. I was so worried to have my 3rd unplanned, a full time corporate America mom climbing the ladders, working on myself, etc etc but If we wait for the perfect season, the right amount of money, the level of prestigious work accomplishments, we will never be ready. The purpose of life is to be imperfect and selfless. To love and be loved in this exact moment. I love you all!! I hope you have an amazing day xox

Thank you for talking about this!!<br>At 31 all I keep hearing is “but kids but kids” um no. But me! I’m not ready. I’m not ready for the responsibility of a child. I know myself and if I just did it. I’d be bitter and THAT isn’t okay. Let me have my timeline ❤

The fuzz from the blanket on your sweat/jogger outfit was so distracting because I wanted to pick it off the whole time! Lol. 😁🤣 that&#39;s it, carry on...

I agree with you so much. I too want to get off birth control next year and I’ve been on it since I was 16 as well and I’m scared now of how I’ll feel after but I know I’m ready to get off it. I get married in October and for years I said “I want kids by 30” but now I’m just like it will happen if it happens. I want to enjoy my marriage and travel and have fun with my soon to be husband so I completely understand you pushing wanting to have a kid back. Enjoy your beautiful life you’ve built. The perfect time will come for kids and we’ll both know it ❤

Literally crying watching this whole video 😭😭

I&#39;m a (female) doctor in a residency program and so many female doctors feel this timeline around babies so acutely. Many of us are in our thirties during residency and trying to balance a career timeline with a baby timeline. It is really difficult. I have had the exact same thoughts and conversation with my partner this year. It&#39;s helpful to hear others&#39;experiences with this, so thank you!

Motherhood is the best thing that has ever happened to me! But I do miss my old self sometimes and want to be selfish and just sleep until 11, rock climb with no time restraints or coordinating a sitter &amp; have an everything shower.

it’s important to talk about what ready means too. People often disagree with me because they think it needs to be 💯 or 0, not 75%. But there are very few women with no doubt or hesitancy in their minds to get pregnant and change themselves physically, mentally &amp; spiritually f o r e v e r. Many of us commit at 70-90% because we know we will never get to 100. It’s like the first day of college or your first day at your big girl job, you’re not ready to move across the country and make new friends, you’re nervous and freaked out but you do it anyway.

I always thought I’d be a mother. I’ve always had a nurturing heart. But as my mental and physical health shifted, I realized that having a child is more than love—it’s presence, energy, stability. And I didn’t have those things to give because of my disability.<br><br>It wasn’t an easy decision. It still isn’t. Sometimes I grieve the connection I imagined—the kind of bond I never had growing up and hoped I could create. But I knew I couldn’t bring a child into a life where I might end up needing them more than they’d need me.<br><br>Choosing not to have children wasn’t giving up. It was an act of love. A way of breaking a cycle. And I carry that choice with both sorrow and deep compassion for myself.

Girl you’re still so young. I had my first ( daughter) at 38. I wanted kids my whole life. I even convinced myself I didn’t want them. I’m so glad I waited. You’re never prepared!! Do you girl!! 💜

Totally love this message. One perspective I would offer is that you may never feel ready ready for such a huge life change - I know I didn’t. But there came a point where, when I looked forward, I couldn’t imagine not having children in that future. And fertility being the tricky thing that it is, that was when I felt I needed to start trying, and then became pregnant. Totally agree you need to wait until you feel ready but what “ready” looks like is not necessarily a feeling of absolute certainty of wanting a child then and there! ❤

THIS is why your daddy gang love you, Alex!! because your deep thoughtfulness, always. your heart is so beautiful, sincere, and dont take the world on your shoulders, keep doing you, it hasnt failed anyone. keep following God&#39;s timing, as it appears you have, and everything will happen when its supposed to💕

Omg Alex my heart is with you and Matt you have built such a strong foundation ❤❤❤

Shout out to Matt, he sounds like a top bloke. 👍🏻

Relate to this so hard. 30s hits you hard

I&#39;m 33 and this is kinda a huge trigger for me. I dont want to have kids. But i also feel this intense pressure as a women to get pregnant. I want to get married, without kids! I have a complex traumatic history and i just dont want to have kids! But i feel this pressure so loud in my head. I feel like i have to explain myself, why i dont want to be an effing mother. Because i effing dont want to be! <br> I havent even started my career yet. Because of my complex traumatic history, i&#39;m years behind in life! It feels like this sometimes, and than i just should give birth???? Nah. <br>I havent even lived a little! And i get so angry, when women get pressured into motherhood.
