Motherhood in the midst of postpartum stress.

Postpartum stress isn't unusual when it comes to childbirth. In some cases it might also take the face of postpartum depression which is another scary summit to conquer.

But have you ever wondered what makes motherhood in the midst of postpartum stress so challenging?

If answered from the perspective of science, motherhood literally rewires a person's brain. Their senses get heightened, they become more sensitive to everything that happens around them.

Most importantly in many of the cases, motherhood is an isolating experience in its own right. This is a very uncomfortable aspect of motherhood for first time mothers.

Navigating through the changes

One of the things you can do to deal with it can be surrounding yourself with a loving community of friends, family or even other moms. Since it is comforting to know that one has people to count on. Apart from this your partner also plays an important role in all of this, so it is very important for them to take the initiative and understand how they can contribute more in your motherhood journey.

Going through these changes requires a lot of patience and it is okay to have days where you have none. One thing you need to know is that just because pregnancy is over does not mean your body will come back to track in a span of days. It is going to be gradual maybe even painful but it is going to happen eventually and sometimes that's all that matters.
