Day 10 of being a first time mom
Hi. I just want to vent out, please bear with me. I’m just so so so exhausted, every 2 hours gigising just to feed my baby, change nappy or do a pump. Yung feeling mo mag-isa ka sa responsibilidad pero hindi naman 😅 As much as we love our partners and know they are involved.. the changes that a mother can experience physically and mentally after baby’s arrival are so much MORE. We inevitably carry the heavy end of parenting with so many unrealistic expectations laid upon us. All leading to some intense emotions such as resentment, anger, rage, anxiety, jealousy and overwhelm. It’s no wonder the transition can be harder for us.. even with a well-meaning partner involved. At the end of the day, being a mother is amazing. Do you all agree? 🥱
