Ever thought about the dynamics of friendships and relationships with your loved ones ?
As mothers we cannot pretend we do not analyse and compare before and after !
In fact many women report that they feel more isolated once stepping into Motherhood, especially if they are the only ones in their friendship group on the only cycle .Let's bear in mind if your around many women who are pregnant and entering motherhood , this can either be a blessing or a negative .
For example mothers intend to support each other , offer support groups and coach each other through the journey ! On the other hand many mothers are far away and too busy to be intentional with other mothers , this is where New Mothers can feel alone and isolated and feel as if they just have to get on with it '
I'm here to tell you today , i've sat that story.
My whole life was surrounding raising and looking after my babies . Date night with my husbands became regular to rare occurances.
Self care and trips to the beauty and nail salon were often and routined and became hardly ever !
This does not have to the the case.
We all go through the tough and charging season , without no break . But somewhere down the line we have to put our minds , mental health and well being first .
Once we are looked after our children will also be looked after.
Begin by making time for yourself Mama.
The old life has gone , it's not time to accept the new and create your own personal time .
