Harsh reality of becoming a mother (with new baby)

If you’re just becoming a new mother or a mother with a new baby, you won’t feel like yourself any longer. It’ll take time for you to accept your “new” self and embrace it. You won’t feel beautiful anymore, your hair that were once luscious and thick, now sheds. Your skin were once beautiful and smooth, now you can only take a bath by the end of the day once everyone in the house are settling down. Your boobs are constantly in pain and leaks. You can’t even wear your favourite dress anymore because it’s not breastfeeding friendly. You are constantly thinking ahead and plan for the entire day even you are only staying home. Mind are always on alert especially when your life partner is not with you. Of course, its just temporary. But the temporary felt like forever. I hope us moms will continue being strong for the sake of our mental health, love yourself and stay happy and positive throughout this odd, confusing but happy journey.
