How to Find Happiness and Manage Postpartum Challenges in Motherhood

The first few months of a baby's life can be a significant challenge. You don't sleep through the night, and your hormones drive you crazy. Your partner and you may argue a lot about daily things. But these challenges disappear soon enough, and your life gets back on track. You realize that you cannot imagine your life without your little one. At the same time, your exhausting routine may make you question your motherhood. However, nothing is more vital than the feeling you get when you see your baby's darling and cute smile daily, which tells you that you are their entire world.

Before having a child, I couldn't wait to grow up. Everything was rushed, and I wanted to finish everything quickly and move on to the next step. But after becoming a mom, you want that particular moment to freeze and be submerged in that new love you never felt before. You wish that time would slow down so you could enjoy every little step and emotion of this little human being. Of course, many moms have to deal with postpartum depression or baby blues, which makes it hard to feel these emotions. But no matter what you're dealing with, the sun will always shine brightly for you again. It takes time, and you need all the support you can get. Don't feel scared or ashamed to ask for help. Many women deal with the same feelings, but not all of us are ready to talk about it. I firmly believe that motherhood is an incredible journey but has challenges. Society can be harsh towards us, making us feel like we must constantly prove ourselves. But as mothers, we can support and uplift each other to make this journey smoother.

If you feel overwhelmed after delivering your baby, don't hesitate to seek help. You deserve to feel your best, which means getting professional assistance if you can afford it. And if you can't, don't hesitate to contact your closest friends and family. You are strong, capable, and not alone in this journey. Remember that!

It's necessary for us to feel supported by our loved ones. Sometimes, others may not understand our needs if they haven't experienced the same situation, but they are still there. I remember going to the laundry room and crying a lot. One of my friends came to visit and found me in that situation. She asked, "What happened?" but I didn't know how to explain my feelings. I was so happy to have my baby, but at the same time, I was lost and feeling extremely sad. I couldn't describe my feelings, so I cried and hugged her for a couple of minutes. She received my emotions with love and warmth. At that moment, I understood that even when some friends and family don't know how to help, they still try their best to support you in this delicate moment. This is a moment when you are experiencing many emotions that are hard to describe. You may feel scared and happy at the same time. It doesn't mean that you don't love yourself or your babe, but hormones control your body, and your brain can't always control your feelings. If you are a mom who is feeling this way or has felt this way before, I want you to know that this difficult time is not forever, and you are amazing. You are the only one who truly understands the joy of bringing new life into the world and feeling overwhelming love for your child. You are solid and beautiful. Embrace your inner strength and power because those around you, especially your kids, value and admire it.
