Motherhood!: All The Things They Don't Tell You Quiana Olasokan

After reading all of the mommy-to-be blogs, downloading countless prenatal apps and watching numerous YouTube videos, Quiana M. Olasokan believed she was super ready to put her birthing plan into action.

She thought it would be executed to the letter, but it wasn't.

And not even her mother could prepare Quiana for all of the unexpected moments that happen during labor and delivery-and after her first baby girl was born.

In Motherhood! All The Things They Don't Tell You, Quiana shares her roller coaster experiences as a married mom of three (including a set of twin girls) to give expectant moms an unfiltered look at pre-and post-baby topics, like breastfeeding at work, sex, finding your tribe, therapy and the importance of self-care.

Hint: If you have a teething baby at home who cries for two hours straight at night, Quiana says sneaking off for a mani-pedi or a massage isn't a luxury, it's a necessity!

The author also asks her girls to chime in with their motherhood stories, and what they all agree on is that being someone's mama is more of an art than a science. Welcome to #momlife.
