This week on Pad Wives Assemble, we’re getting real about the pressure of growing up and growing a family — especially when military life is in the mix. From being constantly asked “So, when are you having kids?” to wondering “Am I even ready?”, we open up about first time motherhood:

👶 The fear of not coping with motherhood

⏳ The ticking timeline and “Have I done enough before becoming a parent?”

🎖️ The pain of partners missing scans, milestones, and firsts because of deployments

We talk about the emotional load of becoming a parent while holding everything else together, and how military life adds another complicated layer to already tough decisions.

Plus, as always:
