Having a baby is not an easy task, to say the least. It is a life-altering decision for both mom and dad. However, mothers truly have to experience an array of emotions that the other parent can't possibly fathom. Postpartum, or “the baby blues,” is no joke. The hormonal changes pre-, during, and post-giving birth are so intense, that sometimes it's difficult to even grasp reality.
One new mama took to TikTok to find support with the moms that follow her. She confesses that all of the books, classes, videos, etc. didn't prepare her for the existential crisis that came with postpartum. After having her baby she was prepared to be physically exhausted and give herself grace for parenting fumbles because it's hard to tread the waters of being a new parent. What she felt nobody prepared her for, though, was the “soul-crushing recking" that she will never be the same person again. The love for her baby is overwhelming and she says she has so much joy. But she also wants to warn other new moms to be prepared to “mourn” the person they were before their baby.
So, she created a beautifully raw and honest confessional video of her personal baby blues in hopes others can relate and feel less alone. Also to get support for herself during this very emotionally intense time.
