“Nothing is permanent in this world”. If this quote sounded rather philosophical to you when you weren’t a mother, it will make a lot of sense now. Change is a new beginning and motherhood is one of the most profound changes a woman could ever experience. Of course, the journey of motherhood will have its own set of good times and bad times but hang on to patience which will pull you through.
Undoubtedly, your baby bump got more for you than you ever expected – obviously, plenty of privileges and the unwanted plumpness. Your physical change is one of the most prominent changes that you would be able to visualize. The baby bump looked rather adorable on you when you were carrying a baby. You got more privilege than usual. Not to mention, the special treatments from family and friend and peculiarly from strangers as well. People were extra generous with you like they would get up and offer their seat or hold the door for you and even pick up your stuff if you accidently dropped it. All that attention was because of your baby bump. However, now that you have delivered the baby, the baby bump has emerged into blubber and the privileges into plumpness. Urgh!! However, don’t allow this to strike you down. I can’t promise you if you would lose your pregnancy pouch completely, but you will definitely lose extra pounds after a week of delivery.
Although, the baby you delivered was in your lower abdominal area, something drastically changed in the upper portion of your body – the brain. You would be surprised with the effortless change in your behavior and how you perceive things. You have become more caring, concerned, creative and emotional. Neuroscientists understand that the effect of pregnancy and childbirth may be the reason for the development of a creative maternal human brain. Thus, after giving birth you may discover the hidden talents within you like of being inventive, dauntless and resourceful. Surrounded with loads of responsibility and changes, creativity would emerge naturally to mothers who learn the knack of multitasking instinctively.
I suppose, you never thought of sleep as a luxury before you became pregnant. This notion is about to change forever because the newborns are born with the skills of an alarm clock. They have the potential to wake you up in the wee hours. Without any hesitation, you can give them the credit for your dark circles. To top it all, hormonal changes and physical discomfort are the baseline for lack of sleep. Amid the haze of sleepless nights, your bloodshot eyes can shut down the moment to flop on the bed. You would be amaze how quickly you can fall asleep irrespective of what the clock shows. Drop everything and catch a cat nap or sleep like a baby whenever your baby goes to sleep.
All you ever wanted was to be a good mother to your adorable munchkin. Then, be prepared to embrace the changes gracefully which would keep you mentally balanced and cheerful.
