The former US first lady's words of advice were revealed in the latest edition of British Vogue magazine.
The latest issue is being guest edited by the Duchess of Sussex for the September issue.
Obama was interviewed by Meghan in a "casual lunch of chicken tacos" earlier this year when the royal was pregnant with son Archie.
Meghan's questions ended with a "wild-card" request: "What is the most beautiful sound that you've ever heard?
Mrs Obama said about her daughters, who grew up during their father's time in the White House: "When Malia and Sasha were newborns, Barack and I could lose hours just watching them sleep.
"We loved to listen to the little sounds they'd make - especially the way they cooed when they were deep into dreaming.
"Don't get me wrong, early parenthood is exhausting. I'm sure you know a thing or two about that these days.
"But there is something so magical about having a baby in the house. Time expands and contracts; each moment holds its own little eternity.
"I'm so excited for you and Harry to experience that, Meghan. Savour it all."
Meghan focused on asking Mrs Obama a series of questions about being a parent, advice to her daughters and what her teenage self would think about Michelle today.
The duchess thanked her interviewee for sending the "kindest message on Mother's Day this year" and asked "What has motherhood taught you?"
In response Mrs Obama said: "As mothers, we just don't want anything or anyone to hurt our babies. But life has other plans. Bruised knees, bumpy roads and broken hearts are part of the deal.
"What's both humbled and heartened me is seeing the resiliency of my daughters. In some ways, Malia and Sasha couldn't be more different. One speaks freely and often, one opens up on her own terms.
