Video: Life with a newborn - what to expect?

[KateMumsnet]

Hello all

As part of our Bumpfest preparations, we made this very short video featuring a few MNHQ staffers talking about the things they wished they'd known about life after birth.

We thought those of you who weren't at Bumpfest (what were you thinking ?) might want to see it too - do have a look and let us know what you think!

It's funny as it's not how I felt at all. I was shocked by the birth and took ages to recover, and lost a lot of weight which I couldn't put back on... but the newborn days were bliss. Everyone kept mentioning 'the panic' but I couldn't work out what was so hard about cuddling a baby all day and drinking coffee instead of doing work.

I'd like to LIKE your comment @chi1134 :)

Bumpfest seems to be about creating all these issues for new mums and dads that miracuously need solving by buying XX product or reading XX's book (that'll be £15 to you, offer only available this weekend).

Where is the video? I'm on my phone
