POSTPARTUM

Uy mama, I hear you, that's something a lot of us feel postpartum, kaya hindi ka nag-iisa, okay? Please talk to your doctor or OB about how you're feeling, dahil importante ito lalo na after giving birth, and they can help you better than anyone else. In the meantime, alam mo, a few of us moms find it helps to take even just 5 minutes to step away when we feel overwhelmed, kahit mag-breathe lang sa ibang room habang may kasama si baby. One of my mum friends swears na pag nag-acknowledge siya na "I'm feeling this right now" instead of fighting it, parang mas nag-settle ang emotions niya. Postpartum is tough, mama, your body and mind have been through so much, kaya be gentle sa sarili mo.
