life after labour




apparently, telling someone that new motherhood is not always the perfectly rosy picture it is painted to be, is simply not done. people look at you as if you are suffering from a case of undiagnosed postpartum depression. but the truth is that it is not always beautiful, easy and heavenly.

another myth that must be busted: before labour, i used to believe that all young mothers knew exactly what they were doing. i presumed some secret tome would be opened to women upon becoming mothers. well, nothing of the sort happened. much of the time, i have no idea what i am doing. and i now understand that the same goes for all new mothers, even if they may not admit it. we all fake it 'till we make it.
