A little rant about motherhood

I feel you mummy! firstly, congrats, you not only had the birth of your child, but also a new version of you ❤️ so proud of you! know that many fellow mamas are here to share that joy, fear, pain and loneliness with you. the moment I announced that I was pregnant, everyone only cared about baby. "so excited for baby to be born!" or "you went for checkup? how is the baby doing?". not once did anyone check in on me... I told this to mummy friend of mine and she agreed, that prehaps the idea of a new life in their world is more new and "sparkly" than the idea of a woman pregnant/giving birth since it is "natural" of women to do this act. speak to your loved ones (friends, partner, your siblings or parents if you feel close enough to share) about your feelings. find your supporting pillar that will cheer you on and check on you while you adapt to being a new mum. sometimes people assume (with no bad intention) that we are strong enough to hold ourselves, while they hold the baby. I personally think at the very least, husband /partner should check on you and care for you. You are both starting parenthood together, going to raise the child together. You already did the carrying of baby to full term and giving birth, he should do whatever he can to carry you and your struggles. talk to him about it, I hope and pray he will understand and support you more 🙏🏼💙
