I see you Mama.
This is our birth story. This miracle baby truly has surprised us in so many ways.
After three years of infertility - I decided to take a break from fertility treatments. I accepted we would have one child only … a friend suggested a naturopath to me and I flew on a whim and started taking all her suggestions for my hormone health. Then in January I took a test and our miracle baby was set to arrive in September.
So many changes, so many things shifted and after a very quick birth we are adjusting to new born life.
The thing I forgot about is how completely uprooted your life feels. Everyone’s focus is on the baby of course and the hard part as a mom who naturally wants to do everything and take care of things … suddenly you’re the one who need taken care of.
I promised myself to slow down in this post partumn. To actually honour my body and allow myself to heal and rest.
The new born stage goes by so quickly so I want to soak it all in. The days are long but the years are short.
I hope you enjoy my birth story -women are so strong and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Xx
