There’s a quote by Milton Berle that says ‘If evolution really works how come mothers only have two hands’ That’s so true because I think if we did have more we’d use them. There so many times I wish I could, cook, do laundry plus give my kids a bath. But I since we only have two, we need to use them and rest in between use. This pic says it all, a day in the life of a mom. So never think you’re selfish to dedicate at least 20 minutes to yourself. . 📷: via @milkbliss #dontforgetyou #coddledotco . . . . . . . . . . #newmomlife #newmommylife #breastfeedingmoms #breastfeedingmom #breastfedbabies #breastfeeingmama #motherhoodjourney #expectingmoms #expectingmama #postpartummom #postpartumjourney #postpartumrecovery #postpartumhealth #newmommas #putyourselffirst #momsneedabreak #momsneedcoffee @coddledotco
I’m a part of this 30% ....i didn’t do any massage but got a Pilates instructor at home to help strengthen my pelvic floor. So sharing this via @getmonstrong so you moms stay informed. . . Over thirty percent of women in the United States have Cesarean births yet get very little education or support how on recovery. The first thing I like to encourage women to do gentle diaphragmatic breathing (inhale --> belly rise, exhale --> belly falls) and walk around to allow rest and recovery to occur. . . After the initial 6 week healing period, you can start gently massaging your scar 2-3 inches above and below it to promote healing, blood flow and decrease numbness. Progress to massaging directly over the scar - up and down, side to side with extra time on the areas that are tight or tender. . Perform 3-5 minutes a few times a week to help the scar soften, flatten, and help your scar from getting too restricted which can lead to a belly pooch, painful sex, and peeing and pooping problems. . . ITS NEVER TOO LATE TO WORK ON YOUR SCAR. Whether your surgery was 6 weeks ago, 6 months ago, or 6 years ago, it can help. You can work with a pelvic floor PT for one on one guidance. . 📷: @stopcensoringmotherhood #dontforgetyou #coddledotco
You're familiar with oxytocin..right? Oxytocin is controlled by a positive feedback mechanism so when its released the hormone causes an action that stimulates more of its own release. Its the same with moms, showering them with love, the only feedback is more love. ❤️ . #dontforgetyou #coddledotco . . . . . . . . . . #newmomlife #newmommylife #selfcareformoms #newmommies #motherhoodslens #postpartummom #postpartumlife #selfcaretips #momneedsabreak #selfcareishealthcare #motherhood #postpartumrecovery #newparentstobe #realtalk #motheringmother #newmotherhood #momquotes #momneedslove @coddledotco
Ruth here..I remember no one not mentioned how hard and what a total life and body adjustment new motherhood would bring on. MY MIL insisted on coming to help out, its not until I got home from the hospital I understood why she was so insistent. None of this is meant to scare and if you feel its unwarranted pass it over and leave to the mom who wants to know. . WHAT'S IT REALLY LIKE TO BE A NEW MOM? . For me, it was exciting and terrifying at the same time. More rewarding but also very draining. You will figure it out but at first it's a little confusing. You will think back to all the books you read and realize not one mentioned this. I did!! It will bring you closer to other moms but it can also feel lonely. .Those first few days you'll feel anxious and nervous. You’ll be thinking ‘oh god’ am I doing this right’. The first few weeks it's sleep deprivation, an emotional roll a coaster and you feel very vulnerable. You will be in a constant state of feed, sleep, poop. If you're breastfeeding, your breasts will be tender. If you're engorged it will hurt like all hell. They will look ten times bigger. . You will always be thirsty and hunger is relentless. When I left the hospital I was happy to be home but then realized the crew of helpers i.e the nurses won't be there. If and when you get that first shower at home. Let me tell you, it will feel like heaven. . What about you? comment below.
