Preparing For Motherhood

One of my favourite topics to talk to moms about is breastfeeding because I believe it's one of the most stressful parts of postpartum.

I used hypnobirthing during my pregnancy to prepare for labour & it really paid off, finding these affirmations for breastfeeding was a real bonus that I just absolutely had to share.

Some might giggle a bit at this post, and think "Wow, that's so true, I can totally relate"

Well as true as it is, it shouldn't be the case because we are more than just moms & we need to honour the other parts of our being.🤗

Sometimes as a mom, you just want to sit on your own and do absolutely nothing...that's part of self-care so do it!

To the mom who's secretly heartbroken and thinking:

"I miss the days my partner & I didn't fight so much, the days he couldn't keep his hands off me"

You don't have to suffer in silence! The best way to resolve conflict is to talk things through, even if it's a tough or awkward conversation to have.

One of the topics in the Preparing For Motherhood program is called Conflict Resolving Communication & it will equip you with the skills to have tackle conflict head-on while still keeping the peace in your relationships.

As harsh as this may sound, there are countless moms out there who are regretting having their baby. This doesn't in any way mean they don't love their baby - they're simply overwhelmed!

This is one of the bitter truths of motherhood that should be spoken about openly so that methods of managing these emotions can be discovered and implemented.

I'm a "Do what's best for YOU" kind of mom.
I take this approach even if paediatric experts & friends or family who have more or older kids than mine disagree with my parenting decisions. This is because I believe a mom's gut feel is seldom wrong & it guidess her in terms of do's & don'ts where her child is concerned.

Some wisdom from the Lord:

Whenever the opportunity avails itself, I share the story of how the idea for this program was inspired by God.
This scripture is confirmation of that because my intention was never for its focus to be on me but rather on ensuring that other moms don't struggle the same way I did.

Struggling with breastfeeding is one of the topics that are closest to my heart because it was a personal challenge until I find this video in my problem-solving journey.

There's so much power in the words "your baby knows what to do" & I found this to be true. This style of breastfeeding ended my struggle, I hope it helps you too.

As a mom, you need to make an extra effort to be kind to yourself because sometimes you are the only person you will get kindness from.💜❤️

Self-care has many faces & one of them is something as simple as taking a nice, long & hot bath or shower.

It's all well & good for moms to look after their babies, but they need to look after themselves too.

Mom guilt is a very harsh reality that can't be avoided & a typical example of it rearing its ugly head is at the time of going back to work.
Granted, some moms can't wait to get away from the baby but if you're struggling with this, know that it's 100% normal, it doesn't mean you're lazy & you're not alone. 🤗
