The next station to Motherhood_1 (5 Dec 2015)

There are times when you wish you have your mom by your side instead of your partner
Your mother who puts you and your baby ahead of her own self
Your mother who understands how you will feel being alone
Your mother who doesn't need any explanation or words. She just understands
At times you wonder how you ended up here
Being a mother has made me feel connected to my little one but lonely in my relationship

The Train to Motherhood (5 Dec 2015)

What you need?

  1. A strong support system
  2. A mother who understands what you need without you explaining a single thing. The person who knows you best
  3. A partner who is aware of #2


What you must accept?

  1. As much as you want your partner to be there with you every second of this journey, he may not.
  2. He may not be what you want him to be
  3. He may not utters words you want to hear
  4. He may not understand the overwhelming feeling bursting in you as you take on this new role of being a mother
  5. He will continue to live his usual life, including 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep, party nights, movies, you name it


What is running in your head?

  1. Will i manage well without my pillar (mom)
  2. Will my partner be able to give me the support i need>
  3. Will he understand my needs?
  4. Will i get back into shape?
  5. Will I be able to breasfeed successfully?
  6. Will I be able to cope up being an employee, wife and most of all a MOTHER?


What should you block?

  1. Any sort of negative comments from relatives, in-laws, friends or even your own partner.
  2. Block it away from taking a step into your system
  3. Maintain a strong positive shield around you and your baby

Sometimes, none of the above matter when you look into his eyes and he looks back with a cheeky smile with unconditional love
