Should You Plan Before Having a Baby? Costs, Fears & Motherhood

What are we really passing on to our children? In this clip from What The Gap, we talk about modern motherhood: pregnancy before Google and social media, the pain no one warns you about, and why overthinking everything can take away from the experience. We also get into the practical side. Should you plan school fees and finances before having a baby, or does “every child brings their own luck” apply? And we discuss the “big stone” idea of what mothers pass down to their daughters, and why parents should avoid handing their judgments about people, like a disliked neighbour, straight to their kids. 👇 Which habits or beliefs from your parents are you consciously choosing not to pass on?
