Am I DONE Having Babies??? How do you know if you are done having kids? | with VIDEO

It’s no secret that I can’t decide if I’m done having babies. My emotions about it are all over the map. My husband would have an entire mini-van full of kids if it were up to him. But, sensitive dude that he is, he says it’s up to me. After all, I’m the one that has to carry them, birth them, breastfeed them, and be the primary caregiver of them while breastfeeding. I’ve given it a ton of thought and […]

11 Things That Will NOT Happen the Way You Planned During Pregnancy, Birth, and the Early Years

♦Your birth plan! Burn that sucker now. There’s a VERY strong possibility that your birth will go NOTHING like you planned, so just make peace with it. ♦That you will be able to breastfeed like a wet nurse. Sure, millions of women master the art of breasting feeding their young, but there is a portion of the population that breastfeeding doesn’t work for, that’s why there were wet nurses in the first place. ♦That you will WANT to have […]

Laugh Your Whohaha Off with YouTube Women in Comedy

MomCave was conceived (conceived, get it??) as a YouTube channel of snarky comedies for moms. But we’ve grown into a community, a virtual MomCave, of mamas who use humor to get through the day. (And videos of hot dads doing chores don’t hurt either.) We are so excited to have been chosen for the YouTube Women in Comedy Program, in association with Women in and Film and one of our favorite female comedy sites, Elizabeth Banks’ Whohaha. We’ve been doing […]

What To Expect When Expecting vs REALITY

I don’t know about you, but when I was expecting my first child I had a very clear picture of what it would be like. From the pregnancy to the birth, breastfeeding and bouncing back, I was sure II have it all covered. Five years down the line and three kids later, I can now say: HA! Joke was totally on me because the reality was nothing like what I had expected. The Pregnancy: Everyone always talks about ‘the glow’ of […]

Eating During Labor | Is it okay to eat during labor? New episode of BLABBERMOM |

Did your hospital or midwife allow eating during labor? Most of us MomCavers weren’t allowed to eat once we arrived at the hospital. The reasoning behind this (barbaric, in our opinion) practice is that in an emergency, general anesthesia may be used and any food eaten could aspirate into the lungs.

33 Weeks Pregnancy Vlog with All Kinds of Surprises!

It’s a cliché for a reason–life happens when you are busy making plans. I filmed this 33 weeks pregnancy vlog in a state of blissful ignorance, one day before my pre-term labor adventure began! In the video, I talk about how I’m enjoying pregnancy but have so much to do that I wouldn’t mind if this baby stayed in a couple of months past the due date. Boy, was I mistaken! The next morning, I was rushed to the […]

MomCave Pregnancy Update: 34 Weeks Placental Abruption & Labor??

MomCave Pregnancy Vlog Update Placental Abruption and Labor…..?!?! On Sunday morning, Jen was home alone with her 4.5 year old when a pretty gorey scene occured. (We’ll spare you the details.) Her boy was very brave. Jen was taken to the local hospital who promptly transferred her via ambulance to a larger city hospital 1.5 hours away, that has a NICU. It was determined she had a placental abruption and she started having contractions every three minutes and dilating. […]
