Parent Room

The highest point was having my baby with me. Despite all the pain, I can remember thinking that I’d do it all again just to have him. He was worth it all!

Luckily, our second daughter was born safely, and she was absolutely perfect! The overwhelming love that you have for your new baby is such a high.

Luckily, I have my partner here to support me and remind me that I’ve bought three miracles into this world. His words lift me up and make me feel like I can take on any challenge that comes my way.

When your body goes through these changes, it’s easy to be hard on yourself. On one side you lose some confidence after having a baby, but on the other, you just gave birth to a human being, and that’s something to be so proud of!

Parental guilt is a real thing, so don’t think that you’re alone in feeling it. You’re not – we all do!

Real parents tell us the truth about their postpartum experiences.

Even for those of us who are lucky enough to have thoughtful family and friends around us, we can still feel an overwhelming sense of loneliness..
