Motherhood

 What a beautiful feeling, what a nice job!! people may think but have we as women really every opened about motherhood. How at times we find it so overwhelming. When I first became a mother it is not that I felt an instant connection with my baby, it did took time for me to sink in that feeling to have that connection with my baby cause till now I have been the one screaming in the house "Maa" "Maa" and now I would be hearing the same for myself, now there is a life that depends on me, for which I am responsible. While embracing my motherhood with my first child I was always exhausted and at time I wondered how my mother managed to raise me and my three siblings ;)..I had a c-section , it was already difficult physically for me and then on the top of it feeding this lil one was such a task. Why I said this was a task as this lil gentleman had to be feeded, in every 2 hrs then burped and made to  sleep and by the time it came my time to sleep he wakes up because either he had pooped or is hungry again and then again the whole cycle is repeated leaving you sleepless and irritated. On the top of it you cant eat what you like, nothing fits us and so many hormones to deal with leaving us all drained out. We mother's become skeptical about ourselves and this if persistent takes the face of postpartum depression which we ladies at times don't realize but friends it is real and the only way to deal with it is to talk to anyone who you are comfortable with , seek help and support from family or friends to take care of the child so that you can also get time to rest , to sleep. Keep a check on yourself and if still you remain irritated and restless then please do take medical help, it is nothing to be ashamed of  or feel shy as this whole process of child birth drains us out both emotionally as well as physically . Always remember we are mother's neither we are perfect nor we are wrong we are also learning the same way our child is , with every milestone of him/her  achieved by them we also achieve milestones of our motherhood. So ladies lets keep enjoying this beautiful journey of motherhood...😘
