Baby blues/ PPD

Girl, it is hard! Yes, it is a joy and yes, it is wonderful but at the same time, it is very hard. Take it one day at a time, babe. You got this. You are strong and it’s OK to rest and still be strong.

You’re not alone! I feel the same about my partner sometimes. He still gets up gets ready to go and wonders why it takes me so long to get ready to leave. I don’t miss my old life either, so much has changed, and it isn’t who I am anymore. I am so blessed & happy with what I have now but men don’t see it the same as we do.

This is normal and you’re not alone! It’s okay to grieve your old life! My baby is 6 months, and I’m oh so grateful for him, but I still have moments where I grieve my old life. But just remember that this is all temporary and your new normal will come. Give yourself grace and patience. Just make sure to find time to pour back into yourself, even if it’s just a quick nail or hair appointment once or twice a month or going for a walk while your fiancé watches the baby. Also, I know it’s hard, but it’s also good to ask for help, especially in this postpartum time. But you got this girlie!

This is exactly how I felt. It is your hormones! They will level out.
I know it’s not available to everyone but go for a walk, getting outside even on a balcony for a little every day greatly improved these feelings for me. Incorporating little bits of self care everyday. Anything that feels like prioritizing self that will help boost you up. Get little things that make you feel good, eye masks you can pop on, a long hot shower, painting your nails, doing your makeup, special creamer for your coffee.
I prayed for my baby too and had these same feelings, you just need to find your new groove. Once you do, you’ll forget you ever had these thoughts 🫶🏼 wish you the best momma
