Did you feel the moment ‘postpartum’ ended?
Was it a relief, or was it deeply emotional? Does it actually end? Or does it continue through motherhood?
Although, you would say postpartum never really ends, it always does for me. That long spoken about ‘6 weeks’ rolls around, and all of a sudden you don’t have a newborn, you have a 6 week old. You exit the forth trimester. How did that time lapse so quickly?
I remember when Amazona’s umbilical cord fell off. I thought ‘omg my newborn is getting further away from me’ then thinking ‘pft it’s okay, atleast she isn’t 6 weeks, atleast I’m still postpartum’
The moment I truely felt it ended, was when the bleeding stopped, the boobs stopped leaking, and I started cooking my breakfasts. And for me, it was deeply emotional.
She’s 10 weeks old now, well beyond 6 weeks. I don’t feel I can say I’m in my postpartum period. I feel that ‘grace period’ has surpassed. Now what? Are we just Mumma’s with two kids?
I miss my newborn 🤍
Postpartum, forever my favourite stage of life.🤍
