How To Avoid Feeling Overwhelmed By Motherhood

by salenakulkarni

Becoming a new mom really changes you. You may find that you're
feeling edgy, nervous, self conscious, and more. You are probably
experiencing a whole range of emotions that you don't understand.
What can intensify these feelings is the fact that you know
you're supposed to be ecstatic at being a new mother, and you
don't understand why you feel as though your entire world has
just been turned inside out. One thing you should understand
right off is that you are not alone. It is perfectly normal to
feel this way, and many new moms experience these types of
feelings.

One of the main things that are responsible for these feelings
is the enormous changes you are experiencing, physically and
mentally. Many mothers gain weight, experience thinner hair after
their baby is born, and even notice other changes in their
bodies. Our hips, bellies, breasts, and many other things change
when we've gone through a pregnancy and birth. Some of those
changes aren't so desirable, and that can really take away from
our confidence. Mentally, we are focused on our child and his or
her well being 24 hours a day. That is extremely draining,
especially for a first time mother.

While it sounds kind of harsh, we also sometimes wonder if we
will ever feel young and alive again. We go from having a great
social life to feedings every 3 hours, no sleep at night, diaper
changes and feeling utterly exhausted. Sometimes it can be pretty
easy to feel as if your entire life has been put on hold for this
tiny little life. Often times we will wonder how in the world
we're ever going to manage! Even as the child or children get
older, mothers feel as though all we do is give and give, and
there's nothing to take. We know that we love our children with
all of our hearts, and also that we feel completely lost.

These feelings are completely normal, and there are tons of
mothers who feel the same exact way. It can be easy to feel like
you will be in this state forever. What you should really
remember, though, is that this is just a small amount of time in
your life. Things will not feel this way forever. Before long,
your child or children will become more and more independent.
There will be more time for you, and you will absolutely feel
alive and young again. The first year or so of a new child is
extremely hard to go through, but it doesn't last forever.

Try to be as involved with your child as you can, but take some
small time out of every day for yourself. Whether you have to get
your mother, husband, or a friend to care for your child for just
a half hour, take advantage of some alone time. Take a nice hot
shower, fix your hair and apply a little make-up. Do something
that makes you feel better about yourself. Perhaps even buy a
great outfit that is flattering on you. Just by taking some time
and doing things to take care of yourself, you will feel better
and be more able to handle the feelings you are having. Just
remember these feelings will pass, and before you know it, you'll
be back to your spicy, lovely self again!
