This Wednesday’s TweetChat topic - “Surviving the first 5 years of motherhood”

This will be a two-part chat, with this week covering through pregnancy to the terrible twos, and next week finishing up discussing potty training, preschool, terrible threes (lol), reading, kindergarten, etc.

It begins tomorrow (Wednesday, June 24) at 9 p.m. EST. Invite all the young moms you know! Here are some of the questions for this week’s chat:

Which trimester of pregnancy was the hardest for you? How did you manage?

Labor stories! Share your personal tale in 140 characters!

The first few weeks of motherhood - How sleep deprived WERE you? What was the biggest challenge? Who was successful at breastfeeding? Who wasn’t?

How did your relationship change once you had a kid? If you weren’t in a relationship, how did your views on dating, relationships, sex change?

How do you keep track of all the memories? Do you have a baby book, do a personal blog, take lots of photos, etc?

When did your kids hit certain year one milestones? Were they early or late? Did you freak out?

Did you have to figure out childcare options or did you decide to stay home with the kids? How was the transition?

Activities with the kids - what do you do with your kids all day long?

Terrible twos - how do you deal with the yelling, tantrums and independent streaks? 

Again, these are just some of the questions - I’m sure there will be others. Feel free to post your own questions as well!
