You Are Not Alone: Embracing Maternal Wellness. The "Why"
The journey to motherhood is a transformative experience, filled with joy, anticipation, and sometimes, a touch of overwhelm. While we often focus on the physical aspects of pregnancy and postpartum recovery, the importance of maternal wellness – encompassing emotional, mental, and social well-being – is equally crucial. It's not just about surviving motherhood; it's about thriving.
In today's fast-paced world, it's easy for mothers to put their own needs last. We're told to "sleep when the baby sleeps," but often, that time is spent catching up on chores or worrying about a million other things. But neglecting your own well-being can have a ripple effect, impacting not only your health but also your ability to connect with your baby and enjoy this precious time.
So, how can we prioritize maternal wellness? It's not about achieving perfection (because let's face it, that's impossible!), but about incorporating small, manageable practices into your daily routine.
..Talking to a trusted friend, family member, or therapist can also be incredibly helpful in processing these emotions. So, how can you actually put these principles into practice?
