Motherhood

      

     Motherhood is said to be one of the most beautiful experiences ever! No one ever! I mean don't get me wrong, there are more beautiful moments than they're bad. My first experience as a mother started lonely, as I was left alone through one of the most life changing journeys any woman can go through. My first pregnancy was a bit traumatic and broke me to the core. But I had to be okay for the sake of my daughter who now depended on me. I promised myself that my next pregnancy I would try my best to go through that journey worry free, sadness free, angry free and more importantly resentment free as those were all the feelings that I carried with me during and after pregnancy. Took many years to truly forgive others and most importantly myself. Let's talk about pregnancy first, I mean it's so common that we really do not see that an actual human is forming in our bodies. Our insides are changing to make room for the little bundle of joy to arrive. I mean I myself am still in aw of just how life, God and the Universe works during this time period. The body changes, the hormone changes and what stuck with me are the confidence changes. Not sure if other mommies go through this, I'm almost positive but the lack of confidence that comes upon us can be exhausting, like are we still attractive with a huge belly in front of us, the way our noses just expand and grow and more or so the weight we put on! There are so many feelings and emotions that we can go through as women who are expecting. One thing I have also learned is to really enjoy the process, the journey of life. That these experiences are limited and only come so often. Having grace with ourselves, being kind to ourselves and try not to remember the weight we will have to shed once baby is here! :) But no really, truly enjoying you journey is a must! If it takes you looking into a mirror and saying, I am beautifully made, I am a confident pregnant woman! Hey, I am there with you! Motherhood can have so many chapters and once you start it never really ends just as our loves never dies! 

Until Next Time,
