In this vlog‑style monologue, Rob Lipsett shares his raw, first‑hand anxiety about expecting his first child. He describes the unsettling feeling of not being able to see or directly check on the baby, worries about the lack of fetal movement, and the fear of needing to call emergency services. He labels this experience as "first‑baby syndrome" and reflects that, based on others' advice, the stress may lessen with later children, imagining a more relaxed attitude—perhaps drinking wine and smoking a joint—when a second child arrives. The tone is informal, candid, and laced with humor, conveying both genuine concern and a hopeful outlook that the challenges will become easier over time.

I'm having my first child. That's probably the most anxiety that I've experienced for a long time because there's a child inside someone's belly and you can't see it and ask it if it's okay and be like, is this normal? Like, is it, you know what I mean? Oh shit, the baby hasn't kicked for a while. Do I need to fucking phone the hospital or some shit like that? It's like, this shit is, it's just first baby syndrome, I think. Like, maybe I think it gets easier. I think it's just 5 worrying. I, I think it gets easier, at least from what people have said. Like, your second kid and stuff like that, second one, you're like Fuck it, let's have a fag and a wine.
