Recovery vol. 1
Post baby.
You’re going to feel so many different emotions once baby is here, no matter if you’re a first time mom or second, third, or fourth.
No matter how your birth went, or pregnancy as a whole.
No matter if you’re letting go of your baby to another family opportunity, or bringing them home.
No matter if you’re a single mom or married.
Multiples or singlet.
You will feel.
You will feel so much bliss, so much love, you will overfill with happiness AND sadness.
You will possibly carry over baby weight.
You may have the baby blues.
Don’t be discouraged by the post-baby diapers, we’ve all been there.
Don’t be saddened if your milk supply takes a second longer to come in, if it even ever does.
Fed is best.
Happy baby is best.
Happy mommy is best.
Healthy is best.
You may rid your clothes for weeks to avoid constant spit up stains, or leaky milk stains.
You may cry on the bathroom floor.
Stress may fill your heart from time to time.
Constant worry that you may not ‘be doing enough’.
But you are doing amazing.
Having a baby is hard.
Caring for one can be even harder.
And adding your needs into that, is next to impossible.
But, always remember,
Ask for an extra hand when you think you may need one, get as much sleep as you can, and EAT EAT EAT!!
Drink lots of water, meditate, speak out about issues and emotions.
Do what you need to do to make sure you are stable and happy for not only your family but yourself.
Always make time for you, you are just as important as your sweet baby, you deserve a relaxing and beautiful postpartum recovery experience with your baby and new overall family.
