LOSING YOURSELF IN MOTHERHOOD

It is easy for many new mothers to lose the woman they were before into motherhood, and how can we not? When we won't ever be that woman again. It is a complex transformation to keep up with. In an instant you have become a mother, you begin to absorb all of societies pressures that are placed on mothers. "Be more conservative, you're not a good mom if blank, you need to get alone time" Not to mention you bring this little being home and now your entire home environment has changed to be catered to this little person. Motherhood is like experiencing both ends of constant duality, you are allowed to have wanted this experience and it too be stressful. Support the mothers desires, that is how you water her as a mother, she is molding this version of her self she would like to see and she cannot do that if everyone is suggesting opposite of her desires.
