Good side of motherhood

Im a ftm expecting my child soon and the people around me and social medias are all filled with the negative and scary side of motherhood after birth. The depression, the loss of sleep, the change of body etc and that made me very scared and demoralised. I know its all true and ill be experiencing all that but wow is it all bad side is my life going down the drain after having a baby. Will i ever be myself again. Can mummies enlighten me the good bright side of being a mother, especially with a newborn. 😣 #firsttimemom

Hello! Firstly, congratulations on your pregnancy and I hope everything is going well. I just wanted to share my experience - it took us 5 years to have our baby earthside and I thought I was very prepared. But wow newborn days were brutal. To be honest it was an absolute shock to my body, and we had no village to help except our confinement nanny who left after confinement was over. We were completely on our own. In hindsight, I think hormones played a huge part (which I recognised too at that time but I didn't know how to deal and I had no time to deal). I think I only started enjoying motherhood when baby was older past 6 months. I know the above sounds scary and yes it was scary BUT it WILL get better. My baby is now turning 18m soon and it's a joy watching him (I'm a SAHM) grow up. So I just want to tell you that no matter what and no matter how you feel, you're never going to be alone. It is true that motherhood / parenthood changes us but we'll just be new and better versions of ourselves even if it takes time, I believe. This too shall pass 💪🏻❤️❤️
