A little rant about motherhood

Sad how from pregnancy to long hours of labor (mine was 47 hours of failed 2 induce, end up in csection), to giving birth, everybody is so focused on asking about the baby, and only the baby. Nobody ever ask about the mother. How is she, how she’s feeling, is she alright mentally, is she coping well, is she in pain, is she recovering well, does she need any help, whats on her mind etc. It’s definitely a very lonely journey as everybody is only concern about the baby cause apparently everybody have the mindset of women are built to go through all these therefore they can go through this. I too want to be cared for, asked about. Yes, I am still in pain from the labor, and no I am not mentally fine. But i guess just have to suck it up and pretend you’re fine. #firsttimemom

Same mama. Same. 46hrs of failed induced labour and I ended up getting an emergency c sect... I am 6 months postpartum and i still feel like s***. I still spiral into back into depression every now and then. Its exhausting, and no one really cares. What i do is just do things that make me feel better like drinking coffee and watching comedy or go out for walks. Its hard. Its really mentally and physically hard because i dont have anyone helping me. But i keep telling myself it'll get better. Just take it one day at a time. ❤️✨🫶🏻
