Return to Self

10 days of post partum


Listen Later

Giving birth comes with a roller coaster of emotions...many of which we find hard to articulate and discuss. 
With the birth of my first child, I kept a lot of these emotions bottled in. Primarily because I didn't understand them and I was also dealing with grief associated with losing my mother. 
This time around, I chose to journal what I was feeling every day. Writing my feelings has always made the feelings have less power over me. In these journal entries, I covered a full spectrum of feelings, physical pain, rage, awe, gratitude etc. 
I hope this gives anyone going through the wave of post partum emotions some relief to know that you aren't alone.
