Being a new mother is a challenge for many women, therefore, It is likely that you feel many feelings within you that make you feel upset. Don't worry, because feeling like this is totally normal when you are a new mother, even if you have been told a thousand things about what it is to be a mother, you will never really know what it is until you have your baby in your arms.
Next we are going to talk about some feelings that you will have when you are a new mother and that you should not be alarmed because it is totally normal. It is a very important change in your life that you will have to face. A little baby will be totally dependent on you to grow and survive.
Fear
Fear is a normal feeling that you will experience before your baby is born. It is fear of uncertainty, of not knowing what will happen. It may also be that once your baby is born you will continue to feel fear because you think that anything can hurt your baby. Your head can be filled with negative thoughts and this can be dangerous for you.
If you notice any too negative thought patterns, then get away from it and switch to other positive thoughts that help you feel better. If necessary, go to your doctor to prescribe some medication to calm that anxiety generated by fear.
Anger at constant advice
It's possible that since you're a new mother, everyone wants to give you constant advice and opinions. Some advice that you have not always asked for. Although sometimes they can be opinions well received, it is likely that other times, they do not take them too well. Many people will give you their advice.
Remember that it is not necessary to raise your child how you 'think' you should do it because others tell you that it is better ... Raise your child how you feel that is really how you should do it. Trust your instincts because they are the ones that will really help you. If they give you good advice, stick with it, but just forget it!
Calm before the routine
Although sometimes you feel that your emotions are like a Russian routine, it is also likely that you can find calm thanks to the routine. Babies need routines to make them feel safe and protected by you. For this reason, do not worry if in the first months you do not have many routines, little by little they will appear almost without you noticing.
Let your baby guide you through the first few months. Let him sleep when he wants to sleep, let him eat when he is hungry. Later, with the months, the more fixed routines will arrive (around 4 or 5 months).
You will feel strength
You will also feel strength because you will be realizing everything you are capable of even being exhausted. There will be days when you feel really exhausted but you leave the house with your baby for a walk. At first you may be a little scared, but wrap your baby warm, have a good car that is protected, and enjoy the world with your baby! He will love it.
Confusion before so many things
If you let yourself be guided by the baby shopping guides, you can go crazy (literally!). You need to think about what your baby needs and based on that, buy what you need. But if you look at the current market, there is a product for almost anything, this can confuse you so it is better that you have basic leo.
Not all 'recommended' baby products are necessary. Sometimes they give you things that you end up putting in a drawer and that don't come out of there. Therefore, it is better that you do not spend too much on 'fashion' products and dedicate yourself to buying what is really practical.
