July is Postpartum Changes Awareness months ✨
postpartum is transformational emotionally, mentally, and physically
your body shifts , your hair falls out , your skin breaks out , your belly feels unfamiliar, your chest aches in ways that have nothing to do with milk , your clothes don’t fit , and nothing feels the same.
but it’s not just physical your mind changes too
you forget words , you lose your train of thought mid-sentence , you feel everything all at once, and nothing at all some days , you may struggle with intense anxiety or depression.
you’re touched out but still needed , overstimulated but somehow lonely , you miss who you were , and still love who you’re becoming.
postpartum is heavy ….. it’s raw…..and it’s real
and the hardest part is how quiet it all is , how little it gets talked about , how much of it you carry in silence.
this month is a reminder that you’re not broken.
you’re healing , and you’re not alone….🫶🏻
But despite all that , I am truly thankful for the person I have become as a mother. It’s been quite a journey from moving abroad with just my husband to start our family, but I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to embrace motherhood, even with its challenges and joys
