Reflections of Motherhood

We asked moms if they could go back to before their first baby, what would they tell themselves. These are their answers. Everyone in the video is a mom :)

I Noticed That All Negative Comments Are Removed Was Just Wondering If Everyone Here Believes In Censorship? Because Thats what it Is Just Puting that Out there

@BCSpiderman No comment has ever been removed from this video. What are you talking about?

Re insulted fathers: aside from the obvious points that mothers carry the baby for 9 months, deliver the baby with great pain and health risk, breastfeed, develop a unique bond with the child... the burden of primary parenting responsibility usually falls more on the mom. It's a scary endeavor, esp for first time moms and that's what this video is about. There is no comparable statement for men. We go off to work and wish the moms well. A Dad

@TheAngrymonster because this one is about Mothers. Feel free to make one about Fathers, brothers, sisters, pets, or lamps

Wow...so poignant, beautiful and yet such important and simple reminders - I am not a mother yet, but hope to experience this event for myself one day soon, that all these fabulous mothers have already. Despite this fact, I thank you all for such a moving tribute - messages that I think we could all apply to life, everyday, in striving to be the best person we can be, and succeeding and surviving all those more challenging moments, whatever they may be. Thank you x

I've almost reached the halfway point in my first pregnancy. I still can't believe sometimes that those little jabs i feel throughout the day is a little life growing inside of me. it's exciting and scary at the same time. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to burst with all the love I already have for this baby, it makes me cry :')

Lovely video. Mothers are so dang important. If you want to give a little gift to your mom and help spread the word about the very real danger so many mothers around the world face in pregnancy and childbirth, check out the "Prayers for Our Mothers" project on my channel.

Everyone who loves their mom and believes that all women should have the opportunity to experience the joys of the motherhood should make one of these "Prayer" videos!

My first child, a 4 month old baby girl, has a cold. At 4 a.m. last night, she woke up crying and could barely feed from the congestion in her nose. I did everything in my power to do...and then "sat up all night, just watching her breathe." I came across this video just this morning after feeling tired and not understood by my husband, and just BAWLED. Thank you so, so much for making this video, because "Google doesn't have children."

Interesting vid. I note there is a very specific demographic... and all of the cards are written in the same hand-writing/printing. Despite that stuff, it's pretty cool, for sure.

I'm far from being a mother, but I watch this video once a month.. So beautiful :)))

@marnimum I noticed a few of the signs make their a's differently than the others... maybe they just asked people to print really big and clearly? or maybe a couple people were just responsible for making the big signs with the other's written down answer on it... I think it is authentic.
