You’re in the exciting “fourth trimester” after birth! So get ready for a journey full of changes and emotions. It’s not like in the movies, but you don’t need it to be.
Birth is not just a moment, it’s a gradual transition in which you and your baby synchronize. It’s a process, not a simple event. The first weeks after childbirth are a whirlwind of physical, social, and emotional changes. You’re going to feel it all!
But don’t worry, it’s all part of the package. Your uterus will shrink back to its normal size, and yes, there will be bleeding and discharge, but don’t worry, little by little your body will eventually readjust. The organs that made room for your baby will also find their place again, so don’t be surprised if you feel a little bloated.
Your hormones are still flowing and readjusting, so get ready for the roller coaster! It’s normal to keep experiencing crazy emotions, but that doesn’t make you any less amazing.
So take your time to adapt and enjoy this amazing journey. You’re going through surprising and exciting changes. And remember, now you have your baby in your arms, and there’s a world of possibilities waiting for you! You’re an incredible mom, and this is just the beginning! Enjoy it all!
