Sometimes we can feel like we need to look outside of ourselves to see if we are measuring up in motherhood. Yet it doesn’t tell us anything. What the other moms are doing or not doing says nothing about you. They are not a reflection of your ability to parent or not.

Next time you are wanting to compare yourself to others, pause and think about what is coming up for you. Maybe you feel conflicted about something or you just experienced a tough parenting moment. After you identify what is beneath your insecurity, reach from within and figure out what you need to cope with your feelings. It might be giving yourself the space to figure out what you want to do with your kiddos. You may want to reach out for emotional support from a safe place or you can normalize your own feelings. These methods leave you feel better about yourself.

Remember:

This for all the mommas that need to feel seen and heard after a difficult birth that didn’t go as expected.
It is important to reach out for support if you are struggling after the birth. Telling your birth story and identifying your feelings with a trained therapist will help tremendously.

Who can relate to this!?!??

The transition into motherhood brings up issues or feelings that may not have been brought up before this stage. It is important to normalize these struggles so women know they are not alone.

Just a random thought I had today.

We are able to identify the way we treat others yet rarely explore how we treat ourselves.

That is the place we need to start before looking at the parent-child dynamic. If we are getting frustrated with our children, it oftentimes comes from the way we treat ourselves. What have we internalized? What do we expect for ourselves? What are we afraid of? These questions help us explore the core of our emotions and reactions.

These are just a few reasons why motherhood is a big transition. What would you add to the list?

Who can relate to this? Out of all the emotions, I find that mothers feel the most shame around feeling angry. I also feel like none of us have healthy coping skills for our anger. Most of us grew up learning that anger was “bad” and “you shouldn’t feel angry.” Thus, when we feel angry as a mother, there is a lack of coping skills. In order to develop healthy coping strategies around anger, it is important to do the deeper work in therapy to explore the messages of shame you may have received around this emotion. Then you can start to introduce healthier ways of navigating anger.

No big deal…just grow a human and then birth the human out of our bodies.

While there are many different ways to become a mother and none of them are easy. I wanted to highlight how hard pregnancy and birth are on women. It is not easy. I will continue to highlight all the ways we can enter into motherhood and the impact it has on our lives.
