You weren’t expecting it to feel like this…
You’re preparing for a C-section, or maybe you’ve already had one, and you thought you’d feel more ready than you do. You’ve read a few things, maybe even spoken to your care team… but you’re still not quite sure what recovery will actually look like.
How will you care for your baby while you’re healing?
What will those first few weeks really feel like?
Or maybe your baby is a few months old now, and you find yourself googling all the things at 3am when you could be sleeping.
Will I ever go back to feeling like my ‘normal self?’
How am I meant to comfort and care for my baby, and also get things done?!
How do I stop feeling so overwhelmed all the time?
No-one has walked you through these things in a way that feels clear, practical, and reassuring. You’re left trying to piece it all together yourself, and follow all the ‘rules’ that you’ve heard from other people and the accounts you follow on social media. You know the ones – “Your baby should be sleeping through the night from 6 months old,” “Don’t carry your baby too much as they’ll come to rely on it,” “Your baby is 3/6/9/12 months old, you should have it all figured out by now”…
Spoiler alert: All of this ‘advice’ needs to go in the bin!
