Hello Everyone,

How was your weekend? I hope it was great and are ready for another week. We are also doing fine and just going on with homeschooling as usual. We’ve actually been informed that schools will still remain closed and the earliest they would be allowed to open may be the beginning of March, so fingers crossed. Anyway, I hope you’re all hanging in there and taking it one day at a time. Today’s post is all about 10 ways to be a good mother and be proud of it. This is by far something that almost every mother worries about and thinks whether they are doing it right or wrong. I am just going to jump straight ahead and share some with you.

QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF BEFORE HAVING A BABY

January 21, 2017 83 Comments

So you think it’s time?

I am asking you just to make sure you know what you’re in for and how your life will change. But if you have already made up your mind, don’t let me stop you just start enjoying the incredible journey. I am not trying to sound mean in anyway but I hope you have answered all the questions to yourself before proceeding into motherhood. If haven’t, here are questions to ask yourself before having a baby.

Am I ready?

You’re probably thinking of course am ready, but I mean ready emotionally, physically and mentally for yourself and not ready just because your parents, in-laws and friends are. You need to be deciding this at your own terms and not because you have pressure from family to have a baby. Emotionally, you are going to have melt downs and lots of changes occurring and also physically are you ready for you to see your body changing, and be okay with that, If you know you have figured that part out, then you are one decision to check off.

WHAT NOBODY TELLS YOU ABOUT POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION

Postpartum Depression

Being a mother has been the best thing that has ever happened to me, but I never expected to feel the way I did after having my son. Depression was the last thing on my mind, I knew things would change but not the way they did, little did I know it was all due to postpartum depression. It took a while for me to even understand what was happening and being away from my family at that point was not helping either. It is a serious thing and I hope people understand what happens before judging any new mother out there. What nobody tells you about postpartum depression.
