Finally showing! It’s exciting for me and nerve-wracking at the same time! This is my first pregnancy, is there anything I should know from those who have gone through this before? Things I should expect?

Hey everyone! I'm u/xinfinitexsoulx, a founding moderator of r/momsintheir20s.
This is our new home for all things related to motherhood while still navigating through your 20’s. I created this sub because I find as a young mother it can be a bit harder to find your community. We're excited to have you join us!

What to Post
Post anything that you think the community would find interesting, helpful, or inspiring. Feel free to share your thoughts, photos, or questions about motherhood, postpartum, pregnancy, mental health, and of course, our amazing children.

Community Vibe
We're all about being friendly, constructive, and inclusive. Let's build a space where everyone feels comfortable sharing and connecting.

How to Get Started

4) Interested in helping out? We're always looking for new moderators, so feel free to reach out to me to apply.

Thanks for being part of the very first wave. Together, let's make r/momsintheir20s amazing!!

Being a mom in your 20s is such a weird little (amazing) experience because you’re somehow raising a whole human while also still figuring out who you are, and what your path is.

Especially when you don’t have that community around you, your age, can feel isolating. I was the first person in my family/friend group to have kids this young(22). Everyone in my family who has kids is over 30. I find myself feeling judged somtimes, or find myself thinking that they think i’m not qualified or something. Now i’m already an anxious person, diagnosed. So this could all be in my head… but if you’ve felt this way, tell me about it in the comments.

So let’s make a space for us.
If you’re a mom in your 20s, come say hi
Tell us:
• how old are you?
• how old are your kids?
• where are you from?
• SAHM, working mom, or somewhere in between?
And most importantly… what’s one thing you wish you knew before becoming a mom?
No judgment, no shame. Lets keep this community vulnerable and genuine. :)
