True.. but there are few to understand.. I feel <br>
Awareness is required among family members, then only they can support and it will be easy for a new mother. Because this period after delivery is very tough...

Agree amrita. Been there. And its such an overwhelming feeling that at some point i have broken down badly. And been frsutarted. My biggest challenge was dealing with her crying. I just couldn't handle it. Though my lo was never a crancky baby.
It was me who would not want her to cry even for lil things. Slowly i settled myself with alot of help from family that the baby has no other way of communicating and things got better

Every new mom is lost for some time during the pregnancy and post partum. The physical disability and bodily changes brought in by pregnancy and delivery is the cause behind it. It ll now i can't recognize myself. I have almost lost the old Amrita somewhere. This is a new person with completely different life goals and even the vision of life has changed. Priorties have changed. Needs have changed. I feel as if i am living passively in a body i don't belong to.
