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

I’m a ftm too, my baby is almost 3 months now, I must say, the first two months were tough. I had terrible baby blues, cried everyday, every time the baby cried, I would worry and begin to panic. Tried breastfeeding but didn’t work out so well, and with ppl asking am I breastfeeding, it’s stressful. Sleep deprived is real. Get lots of sleep right now cause you’re going to miss sleeping through the night. And my baby was colicky, so for a week or two, I began to feel nervous at sunset, baby would start to cry for 2-3hours. It was overwhelming. What helped me was my family, they are my rocks and pillars. Get support that you may need to get through. Is it going to be better? Yes. Now my baby no longer cries at sunset and she is beginning to sleep for longer hours at night, meaning more sleep for us too. It’s tough but her smiles somehow make me feel better. All the best!
