I believe Motherhood starts from the time you decide to be a mother. The decision to become a mom gave me the flutters – one of excitement and of anxiety. I was terrified of the birthing process and had doubts about my own body. But things changed when I went through a miscarriage, it taught me how my body and mind acts during a loss. It showed me that I am stronger than I think I am. When I got pregnant for the second time I made my mental health my priority. I did things that gave me happiness, I said no to things I didn’t want to do, I set boundaries with people, I signed up for pre-natal activities to prepare my body and mind…such as yoga and massages.\u00a0<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
I also decided to learn to make things for my child which was my form of love language to her. It started with hand-sewn burp cloths, slowly led me to invest in a sewing machine. With every new item I stitched, I felt a little more closer to my little one. We all have our way of showing love or wanting to do something for our little one. Do reflect on what’s yours and smother your little one with LOVE.
