#Babyblues

I always thought having the 'baby blues' or 'post-partum depression' was a concept thrown out there. That I wouldn't ever experience it, and it was all a humbug. But reality hit hard when I returned home with my baby from the hospital. He surely brought out the mother in me and I knew that my responsibilities had doubled. But with that came the pressure to be the perfect mother and a feeling that I wanted to prove to everyone that I could manage my lil one all by myself. In turn, I often found myself irritable, lost and a brink away from tears almost every other day. Everything my lil one did worried me, whether it be sneezing, hiccuping or pooping after every feed, not to mention he had jaundice too.
It was only after few weeks that I submitted myself and started asking for help. I accepted I can't always be perfect, but I can surely do my best for my son. That's when I turned a more confident mother.
Not that I don't worry anymore or that every day is a good one, I'm on pins and needles if I know he's unwell. But I've come to terms with the fact that I know I can't do more than this and I'm just happy being the mother I am to him.
