Now, I just feel like a FTM. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-consider-a-new-mom#post-2637766 Mon, 17 Oct 2016 10:38:12 +0000 bubblegum 2637766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ocean81: Best answer ever!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-consider-a-new-mom#post-2637761 Mon, 17 Oct 2016 10:33:11 +0000 youboots 2637761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MOMTOLITTLEB: perhaps that's the difference between a new mom and a grandparent.@2littlepumpkins: agreed.@Boogs: I think about how different I'll be next time.@birdofafeather: I like this. I was just working on Ts album from her first birthday and she looks like such a baby 😭 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-consider-a-new-mom#post-2637613 Mon, 17 Oct 2016 00:35:55 +0000 birdofafeather 2637613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2littlepumpkins: same, although I would maybe extend to the first year because they (and you!) change so much the first year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-consider-a-new-mom#post-2637592 Sun, 16 Oct 2016 20:36:45 +0000 Boogs 2637592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When you typically hear new mom, you think of someone with a little baby. But I mostly stopped feeling like a new mom after I had the second one because I felt more confident in what I knew and my abilities. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-consider-a-new-mom#post-2637573 Sun, 16 Oct 2016 19:57:21 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2637573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Although something is always new especially with the oldest, when I hear "new mom," I tend to think of maybe the first six months with baby #1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-consider-a-new-mom#post-2637469 Sun, 16 Oct 2016 12:40:35 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2637469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't feel like a new mom, it's been almost 3 years and I don't remember what it felt like to not be a mom! However I do feel new compared to most moms because there are so man stages I haven't experienced compared to someone like my mom who has seen it all by now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-consider-a-new-mom#post-2637452 Sun, 16 Oct 2016 11:21:10 +0000 808love 2637452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: agreed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-consider-a-new-mom#post-2637446 Sun, 16 Oct 2016 10:37:28 +0000 youboots 2637446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@turquoisemama: totally.

No matter what my experiences have been, it is different viewing it with this lens of parenthood.</p> <p>I get my best advice from experienced parents, the ones that have been through it before, but they always say the same thing, that they turned to the parents before them for advice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-consider-a-new-mom#post-2637414 Sun, 16 Oct 2016 06:19:02 +0000 ocean81 2637414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'm going to feel like a new mom until<br /> I'm a grandmother! Ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-consider-a-new-mom#post-2637406 Sun, 16 Oct 2016 03:02:07 +0000 808love 2637406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think whenever I am with someone who is newer than me, I am not new mom. Most people have older kids than me so I will always be new mom to them. So new mom is relative. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-consider-a-new-mom#post-2637404 Sun, 16 Oct 2016 02:35:16 +0000 turquoisemama 2637404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know, I feel the same way. Most days I feel like I kinda have no idea what I'm doing still until I see a lady with a newborn who looks super uncomfortable still and it all comes rushing back to me. I think, hm maybe I do have a little wisdom in me. Nothing compared to moms of two or three, but I know I've come a long way. I think once you start giving other moms advice about a certain stage or whatever, you've passed the new mom phase. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-consider-a-new-mom#post-2637398 Sat, 15 Oct 2016 23:48:18 +0000 youboots 2637398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I realized that I'm not a 'new Mom' anymore. Do you consider someone to be a new parent for a certain amount of time? Is a new Mom only for a first time parent?</p> <p>I have a friend who has a 6 month old and she asked so many questions and even though I feel like I am winging it with my 19 month old daughter most days I'm starting to feel a bit more seasoned, and am glad I can be a resource for a new Mom.</p> <p>No big reason for the question just curious. Same question goes to what you consider to be a new Dad or new parents. </p>
