Hi all,
I’m a mum of 2…a 3 year old girl and 4 month old boy. My first was born in lockdown so my maternity leave this time has been very different.
With my first I felt all this pressure to parent a certain way but with conflicting parenting opinions it just felt like everything I was doing was wrong. Even something as simple as praising my daughter for her drawing could lead her (to some) to become dependant upon outside praise for her life!!!
I realised it was all crap and what’s important is doing what feels right to you.
This pregnancy was hard on my body and i
put on 3 stone!!! So I’m starting early to try and recover some sort of my pre-pregnancy bod back.
Add to all this the issue with balancing any kind of career/social life etc. So rather than silently going insane I’ve set up a Instagram account to document dealing with the above/vent. Hopefully if any mums are feeling like I did it might provide a bit of comfort that we are not all perfect.
