First Time Mom

-
Is it me, or it is just normal to be paranoid when one becomes a mom? Do mothers really go through this kind of phase?  Any first-time mom here reading this? Hit me a message if you too experienced or at the moment going through the stage I'm currently in. I'll be thrilled to hear some insights from you guys.
I'm quite anxious right now. I'm afraid I'll be suffering from paranoia till my last breath. Though I've read a lot of articles on motherhood before, still, I feel like I know nothing. It's really different when you are already confronted by the situation. A lot of times I feel like I am always doing things the wrong way. I worry too much these days. I don't know why. Do you think I need to see some specialist already? Oh, my… oh, my... I hope not. Well, having a kid is pretty overwhelming you know.


A lot has changed in my lifestyle when my tot arrived. Like the way, I spend my weekdays, my eating habits and drinking spree. You know I love drinking coffee, soda, and some alcoholic beverages. But now that I am a mom and breastfeeding, I am avoiding those things already. I'm scared that it may cause some negative effects on my baby's health. Still, I would like to drink a bit of coffee, not pure coffee though. Is it bad? Does taking coffee makes me a bad mom? I sure hope not. Everything that I do, I always make sure that it will be for the good of my lo. I love my kid so much that I get too paranoid almost every day. At times, I fear that something might cause him harm, or I might lose my patience or temper and hurt him by accident. I tend to overthink things. How will I be able to escape this kind of emotions?



Lately, I noticed how things drastically changed now that I have a baby boy. Yes, it's truly different now but I will embrace this change with all my heart. Still, a long way to go. This journey has just started. There are a lot of things to learn. I am still a paranoid mom that is why I am praying for His guidance always.

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...

A mother's journey: The naked truth of motherhood

Imahe
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...

Thoughts on Postpartum

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...
