As she happily waits for the arrival of her second child with husband Daryl Sabara, the 'All About That Bass' hitmaker looks back at her firsthand experience of motherhood.

AceShowbiz - Meghan Trainor was "confused" about breastfeeding in the early days of motherhood. The 29-year-old pop star, who is expecting another baby boy with husband Daryl Sabara, admitted she will make the effort to take her breast pump into the hospital after not realizing she had to the first time around.
The "Mother" hitmaker, who welcomed son Riley with the "Spy Kids" actor in 2021, told SheKnows, "I remember thinking how confusing this is when someone was like, 'Make sure you bring your pumps to the hospital,' and I was like, 'Silly goose, your milk doesn't come in for days!' But I didn't realize it's because you dry pump to tell your boobies to make milk."
"So yeah, I'm going to pack breast pumps this time, and I'm gonna pack nipple cream and shields," she went on to recall. "[My nipple cream] goes wherever I go. I began using it on day one in the hospital and have not stopped throughout my breastfeeding journey. It's so lightweight and soothing and was critical for me to help with nipple pain, especially in those early weeks of breastfeeding." Meanwhile, the "All About That Bass" songstress went on to add that she will not be taking pyjamas into the delivery room because she prefers a hospital gown and recalled having the "roughest look" when she became a mother for the first time as she left her "tangled braids" in for days after she had a Caesarean section.
She added, "I didn't even wear [pyjamas] because I love that hospital rag. I was like, 'Can I have another one of these, please?" It was great because it was cozy and it was light. You don't want anything touching you. I went in with French braids for Riley's C-section I think for those days following it I had just like tangled French braids. That was my vibe. It was the roughest look."
