As a first-time mom myself, I have firsthand experience in how hard postpartum can be. In December of 2022, I had my twin girls via emergency cesarean at 35 weeks' gestation. Unfortunately, nothing went according to my birth plan, and I was extremely unprepared. I struggled with postpartum depression and anxiety and lost myself along this new journey of being a mother to two. I have recently begun a self-care and self-love journey to find myself again, my new self! I am changing my view on postpartum entirely and trying to look at it as an exciting new chapter in my life! Here, I have put together several lists with hopes I can reach new mothers who may also be struggling, to finally find the light at the end of the tunnel and begin to truly love and take care of your new self, and understand it is okay to mourn your past self.
