Having a baby is stressful and happy at the same time. Well, for the past almost 2months of being a new mom, i've experienced a whirlwind of events and changes in my life. From being used to having an 8-hour and more sleeping time, i now have 3-4 hours of sleep everyday, less time for myself and the usual things that I do everyday changed. Yeah, they say it all comes with having a baby. At first, it was difficult for me to cope with the situation but I'm happy that the "baby blues" are gone already. Baby Blues are those worries/anxiety that moms experiences after giving birth. Fortunately, I was able to help myself fight the sadness and worries. With the help of family, friends and loved ones, i'm on my way to a blissful life with my son!:)
Just want to share some tips/advice I got from a friend and thru articles i've read the entire 2-months rest I had:
- If you feel sad, worried,anxious, fight that feeling by talking to someone(friend/family member). Get outside help if necessary.
- No one is perfect. "No one expects you to be a supermom."
- Read self-help articles. Best thing to do while baby's sleeping.
- Make time for yourself everyday. Do things that make you feel happy..
- Write your thoughts!(Like what i am doing, this is really effective..)
- Talk to your partner about it.
I am just so happy that things are better now. I'm excited everyday when I am woken up by Bboy's cry. Being a mom is the best feeling in the world. Ü
