This topic is one close to my heart. I’ll be honest – I didn’t think being a mom in the first year was going to have so many twists and turns (physically and emotionally). I really wish moms are better prepared for the postpartum journey. Unfortunately, there is lack of support and guidance through this time. There have been great moments and sad moments so far in my 9 month journey of becoming a mom. There have even been times that I felt unheard or that my concerns or feelings weren’t taken seriously enough. There have even been points where I felt like I wasn’t doing everything I could or where I was so completely overwhelmed, I felt like giving up.
So, from these experiences (and the ones that are coming), I want this to be a space where there is no judgment for moms and where I can tell what it truly feels during the postpartum period from my own experience. I understand everyone’s experience is different and some more difficult than my own, but they are all valid and need space to be heard.
