Lipstick Jungle actress Kim Raver, 38, opens up to Redbook magazine about what she has learned about motherhood since being a parent to 4-month-old Leo and 5-year-old Luke.
One piece of advice that Raver talks about (and I think that every mom-to-be should know) is that it does get easier!
“The whole week after you give birth is so intense: You’re recuperating and nursing, and you’re exhausted. But it’s kind of like, Oh, my God – for me at least – and, not to sound all weird or profound, but it’s kind of, That’s why I’m on this planet! But I also remember being so tired with my first one and thinking, Is the rest of my life going to be like this? With Leo, it’s gotten incrementally easier. I’ve started being okay with the sleepless nights because I know I won’t be nursing every two hours for the rest of my life. And my husband and I are so much more relaxed as parents. Whereas whenever Luke cried, I was in complete angst and stomach turning, Oh, my God, what’s not right? What’s happening? I remember Luke getting a cold when he was a few weeks old, and I was a basket case. And then recently Leo got a cold – and he got a cold. With Luke, I was so worried about every little thing. With Leo, who I hear crying in the other room right now, I’m like, ‘Okay, let’s solve the problem…. What is it?’”

What advice would you give to new moms? My fashion advice for new-moms would be to buy a couple of new shirts (NOT maternity) that fit well and make you feel good. You will not be able to fit into your pre-pregnancy clothes and you will be tired of all your maternity clothes.
