3 MONTHS POSTPARTUM

Question

Good evening, mommies!Hi! Pa-vent lang. I’m AJ. Mom of two na. Just gave birth last October. I must say, super different ng pregnancy ko sa panganay ko at dito sa bunso. Mas mahirap, mas masakit, at mas draining. Physically and mentally. Feeling ko mag-isa lang ako, at wala ako makausap. Pero madalas mas gusto ko magisa. Ako lang ba yung ganito? 😅 And I know it’s just the postpartum anxiety talking, at alam kong I‘ll get through this. Sinusubok talaga ang mental health ko, parang mababaliw ako. Haha! Pero while I’m here, I pray for myself and all the mommies going through this too. With that said, anyone here from the south? Alabang, Las Piñas, Paranaque. Not on to something, baka lang may maka-chikahan ako and eventually maka-friendship goals ko pa. Sorry, wala talaga rin kasi akong solid friends kahit before pa. Looking for unexpected solid friendship here! At playmates na din ng 5 year old baby boy ko at mag 3 month old baby girl. ❤️ Thank you!

Hi AJ! Hindi ka mag-isa, maraming moms ang nararamdaman yan especially with two kids na, yung guilt na mas gusto mong mag-isa pero also feeling lonely is SO real and honestly valid. Three months postpartum na, your body and mind are still healing a lot, kaya maginhawa mo muna palagi ang mental health mo, honestly, if the anxiety feels too heavy pa, check in with your OB or a counselor din, they can really help. The south moms community is pretty active dito kaya sigurado may makakasama ka, at I hope you find your solid friends talaga because that support system makes such a huge difference when you're in survival mode with newborn and toddler. Rooting for you, mama!
