Yo analizando si mi cansancio crónico es por causa hormonal, nutricional, espiritual, mental, menstrual, astral, salarial, social o todas las anteriores.
Pregnancy gets 9 months of attention. Labor gets a hospital stay. Postpartum gets one 15 minute checkup at 6 weeks.
But postpartum is the longest medical event of your life. Your hormones don't return to baseline for at least 6 months (longer if you are BF). Your pelvic floor takes a year (at least). Your bone density takes longer. Your brain is remodeling itself for years. You're metabolically recovering for as long as you breastfeed.
We have completely undercounted what this season actually is. And too many women are doing it all alone.
Asi como te advierten acerca de todas las calamidades que se te vienen con la maternidad, alguien debería avisarte que también sucede la maravilla de tener cercanía y conversación constante con un ser humano que te cae bárbaro y querés de pies a cabeza.
Pregnancy is HARD. Labor is HARD. Giving birth is HARD. Maintaining a good relationship with your partner during postpartum is HARD. Being a mother is HARD. Trying to love yourself while adjusting to a new body and life while still tending to a newborn is HARD.
Mothers have it HARD and still make it look so EASY. Don't discredit yourself girl it really is HARD. You just hold it all together. I see you.
Motherhood changes a woman, it completely alters who we are, what we desire, what we dream of, what we want. To treat it as just another bodily function is truly one of the greatest disservices we’ve ever done to women, and to children.
إلى كل "أم عاملة" تجهز ملابسها الليلة، وتنظر لطفلها الرضيع وهي تشعر بغصة و"عقدة ذنب" لأنها ستتركه غداً صباحاً لتذهب لعملها.. 🥺كطبيب ح��يثي الولادة، أقول لكِ كلمة واحدة: "أنتِ تكفينه". 🤍طبياً ونفسياً: الطفل لا يقيس محبتك بـ (عدد الساعات) التي تقضينها معه، بل بـ (جودة التواصل).
نصف ساعة من الحضن، واللعب، والرضاعة، والتواصل البصري معكِ بعد عودتك من العمل.. تبني في دماغه من الأمان والثقة ما يكفيه ليوم كامل.أنتِ تخرجين لبناء مستقبله، وهذا أعلى درجات الحب.
لا تذهبي لعملك غداً بقلب مثقل.. طفلك فخور بكِ. 🌷(أرسلوها لكل أم عاملة لتبدأ أسبوعها بسلام).
The argument that children hold you back, and keep you from achieving, only sounds true to those who don’t have children
Because everyone who has children knows there is no greater motivation to do better, become better, and make the world better than the moment you meet your child
