Feeling overwhelmed in the early days? You’re not alone 💛

[JasminNaveed]

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to share something I’ve noticed with new parents (and experienced it myself!) — those first few weeks can feel really overwhelming, even if everything looks fine on the outside. It’s totally normal to feel anxious, unsure, or like you’re not “doing it right.”
Sometimes, all it takes is a little guidance, a deep breath, or someone who really listens to help you feel more confident and connected with your baby.
I’ve been helping parents navigate pregnancy, birth, and those first 40 days postpartum — not with judgment, but with practical tips, reassurance, and support that meets you where you are. Even a tiny shift in confidence can make a huge difference in those early days.
I’d love to hear from you: what’s been the hardest part for you so far? How did you get through it? 💛

I would say so far the hardest thing for me is hearing horror stories - so far I have only told 3 people (women) I am pregnant and already it's just horror after horror and low energy. Honestly it zaps me. I get that people have had bad experiences and are anxious but I am not - I am happy, positive, hopeful and vibrate high. I am at the point now where I literally don't want to have the conversation with anyone else now because I am pooped.

My husband has had completely the opposite experience. He's met with high fives and 'well done champ', not 'wait for the burger nips, you'll be leaking brown fluid days after birth, or find some wide shoes because you'll have sausage feet'.

Don't get me wrong - I have had the lovely 'congratulations' and all that, but the women I have told almost feel obliged to share their gruesome experience with me! First time pregnant - I don't like it!

Edited: Just wanted to say that I purchased the birth box hypnobirthing and I am doing daily meditations to increase my energy levels. Meditation and exercise helps me to get through low energy moments.
