Leave New Moms Alone

When I was researching every possible thing that I could need for my baby, I never really considered what I might need post partum until the very end. Even as a 37 week pregnant woman I didn’t really know what I could need. I got the frida mom kit and felt better instantly. I looked at what other moms were saying but nothing was very telling. You kind of just have to experience it yourself to know. My aunt in law got me diapers, giant pads, witch hazel, etc. the hospital provided me with mesh panties, tucks wipes, dermaplast, and a peri bottle. What the hospital gave me was enough thankfully but that first day sitting there in my hospital bed I was freaking out. I didn’t know what to do, who I was, what I needed. Looking back to 5 months ago now I feel foolish for being so stressed and scared. It’s natural obviously but everything was ok and will be ok no matter what. As long as you love your child that’s all you need. I was scared to be in pain for a long time, I was scared to be emotional forever, I was scared to lose myself and in child birth, you do. You are born again with your child and it’s hard but with a supportive team you can do it.
