Nobody Talks About What It’s Really Like After You Have A Baby

Nobody talks about what it’s really like after you have a baby . Nobody speaks on how much self-confidence you lose . The hours you’ll spend changing clothes and crying on your bedroom floor because all of those tight cute shirts and skinny jeans you looked good in no longer fit right .

How after weeks and weeks of trackie bottoms and t-shirts you try some of your old clothes on and they still don’t feel right . Nobody talks about the disappointment . How people tell you it’s just a process and in 6 weeks to a couple of months you’ll be back to normal but they’re not the ones having to play the waiting game .

Nobody speaks on how it isn’t fair anymore . How you feel like your whole world has just come to a stop but your significant others is still going on . How they get to leave whenever and do whatever but now if you want to leave it involves a baby sitter or packing a bag , getting a whole other person ready before yourself .

Nobody tells you how to fight the depression of staying inside a house 24/7 by yourself while it seems like everyone else’s life is in full motion . And no one talks about the anxiety & the pressure . The anxiety of feeling like you have to do everything right and by the book or you find yourself bawling on a floor because there’s so much pressure on you to do everything by other people’s expectations.

Having a baby is a wonderful thing no doubt , it’s the best life changing experience. But it’s not all smiles 24/7 and the cute pictures you see on social media . I have a whole new respect for mothers after becoming one . I guess the whole point of this web story is I’ve seen sooo much mum bashing lately that it’s ridiculous . Every mum does things different because every child is different.

Just keep in mind that every mum is also different and more than likely facing her own different battle before you try to bash her and make her feel lower than what she already feels .
