A mother's journey: The naked truth of motherhood

-


Nobody and nothing can ever prepare you to be a mom. Just like love, there's no formula that will help you perfect the phases of motherhood. I hope and I wish that the things and experiences that I will share here, will be helpful to first-time moms out there.
A lot of people say that motherhood or parenthood is such a merry journey. Yes, it is, but I am afraid not all the time. Don't get me wrong, I love being a mom and I love my kid. I just wanted to be 100% honest here. For me, motherhood is 90% joy, 8% struggle, and 2% sadness. It is 90% joy because no words can explain the happiness that you will feel every time you see your child healthy, strong, witty and not to mention looking a lot more like you or his/her dad as the days go by. 8% struggle 'coz giving birth is not at all a piece of cake. And raising a kid is not a joke. (Especially for single parents) Am telling you, it is way harder than you thought. And it is 2% sadness because along the way you will miss the days when everything was simple. From time to time, you will miss the happy go lucky life you used to live. There will also come a time where your patience will be tested by your kid's tantrums. And if these things happened, never forget the happiness that your child is giving you. Hold on to the love that you have for your kid. Never give in to the sorrow and struggles that you will encounter along the way. It is okay to feel down at times. Believe me, it is all normal. Just keep in mind, you have to be strong for your little one. And that little one will not stay that little forever. So make the most out of it. Love him/her with all your heart. Enjoy every single moment of your parenthood. :)
Cheers! 🍻🍹

Ang magkaroon ng isang buo at masayang pamilya ay siguro pangarap ng lahat satin. Sa iba natutupad nila ito ngunit sa iba hanggang pangarap n lamang ito Hinde madali ang magtaguyod ng isang pamilya na mag isa ka lamang. Sobrang hirap. Yung wala ka aasahan kundi sarili mo lang. Ngunit kelangan mo maging matatag para mabuhay n maayos ang pamilya mo  ang anak o mga anak mo. Mahirap man ang ganitong klaseng buhay hinde pa din nawawala ang saya  dahil ang magkaroon ng mga anak ay napakalaking biyaya. Masaya ang magpalaki ng anak kahit sobrang hirap lalo n kung mag isa ka lang. Misan matataranta ka. Minsan mangangarag ka at minsan ubusan din ng pasenxa. Pero madalas, magiging Masaya ka. Nakangiti, nakatawa, may lambingan at pagmamahal. Challenging lang tlg n magtaguyod ng pamilya na magisa. Solo parent kung baga.  Ikaw ang nanay ikaw din ang tatay. Ngunit sa  lahat ng pinagdadaanan at pagdadaan, lagi lang tandaan  na sa Diyos lagi tayo...

Thoughts on Postpartum

Imahe
What exactly is postpartum? According to Wikipedia, Postpartum depression (PPD), also called postnatal depression, is a type of clinical depression which can affect both sexes after childbirth. For me, postpartum is simply the weird and crazy feelings or thoughts   that we   mothers, experience after giving birth.   Postpartum  is there and believe me the struggle is real! I don't know if every mom experience the same things, but what I will share to you really happened to me. After giving birth, it's kinda weird that I'm having a lot of crazy thoughts. Like, I was thinking my baby will stop breathing or my baby will have an accident. I was so scared of falling asleep, 'coz I was afraid that I might hurt my son while I'm asleep or I might sleep soundly and not see that   something bad  is already happening to him. At times I feel so down and lonely I don't even know why. There are also times when I am quite irate and my patience is nowhere to be found. A...
