The Unique Guide to Motherhood: Embracing Your Journey

Introduction:

Motherhood is undoubtedly one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences in a woman’s life. However, it is also a time filled with challenges, uncertainties, and moments of self-doubt. Each mother’s journey is unique, just like the precious little beings they bring into the world. In this blog, we will explore a unique guide to motherhood, focusing on embracing your individuality, finding support, and cherishing the incredible bond with your child.

  1. Embrace Your Individuality as a Mother:

This aspect of motherhood emphasizes the importance of recognizing and preserving your individuality while navigating the responsibilities of being a parent. It’s essential to remember that being a mother doesn’t mean losing your sense of self. Continue pursuing your hobbies, passions, and personal growth, for it will contribute to your overall wellbeing and make you a happier, more fulfilled mother.

  1. Accept Imperfections and Learn from Mistakes:

As mothers, we often set high expectations for ourselves, striving to be the perfect parent. However, it’s crucial to accept that there is no such thing as perfection in motherhood. Embrace your imperfections and learn from your mistakes. Each challenge is an opportunity for growth and understanding. Allow yourself to make mistakes and forgive yourself for not having all the answers.

  1. Find Your Support System:

Motherhood is undoubtedly a journey best traveled with a strong support system. It could be your partner, family, friends, or even a close-knit group of fellow mothers. Surrounding yourself with positive and understanding individuals who share your experiences can provide a network of emotional support, advice, and reassurance during challenging times.

  1. Prioritize Self-care:

Motherhood can be overwhelming, and it’s easy for mothers to overlook their own needs while focusing solely on their children. However, remember that taking care of yourself is crucial. Practice self-care regularly, whether it’s scheduling time for exercise, indulging in a relaxing bath, or enjoying a cup of coffee in peace. Prioritizing self-care allows you to recharge, maintain balance, and be the best version of yourself for your little ones.

  1. Cherish the Bond with Your Child:

Perhaps the most unique and beautiful aspect of motherhood is the unparalleled bond between a mother and her child. Every milestone, every giggle, and every hug is a precious moment to be treasured. Take the time to savor these precious moments, create lasting memories, and nourish the special connection you share with your child. Embrace the journey, knowing that your love and nurturing are shaping their future.

Conclusion:

Motherhood is a journey like no other—one that is filled with countless surprises, challenges, and immeasurable joy. Embracing your unique path, seeking support, prioritizing self-care, and cherishing the incredible bond with your child will ensure that you navigate motherhood with confidence and grace. Remember, there is no single right way to be a mother. Trust your instincts, embrace your individuality, and savor every moment of this extraordinary journey called motherhood.

Things to Know about a Subchronic Hematoma

Going into my Final Pregnancy

My final pregnancy was a very hard, emotional, & scary one. I found out I was pregnant the end of October 2019. It was such a rush to know I was able to get pregnant again after so many years.

During the first week (~6 weeks pregnant) I started to bleed while I was at work. I was hysterical and immediately called the nurse advice line to see what my options were. I ended up at the clinic to see my Primary Care Manager (PCM). It was at that point I was told I was most likely experiencing a miscarriage and I needed to be referred to an OBGYN. My PCM carefully explained to me the possibility of the miscarriage and how it was nothing I did that caused it (which I still felt like it was).

I ended up at the OBGYN just a few hours later. I got to see a sac that was empty. I was told one of two possibilities; I was miscarrying or I was not far enough along to see an embryo. My husband was a different country away but i was lucky enough to have two friends there for support!

7 week baby

Another week goes by before I had another appointment. This time they saw the baby & we got to hear the heart beat. I wasn’t out of the woods yet. I had two other major bleeds and one that sent me to the hospital. I spent 24 hours in the hospital, again being told I was having a miscarriage.

I bled from November until middle of January and was on bed rest during that time. I was told to not move other than going to and from the restroom. It was super hard as I’ve always been an active person.

Second Trimester

Once I moved into my second trimester I still had the hematoma but was able to stop any contractions and bleeding.

My Second Pregnancy

I found out I was pregnant 4 days before my missed period. It was mid December and my super faint pink line was no cause for concern for me. I showed my pregnancy test to my husband who could not see the second line, saying I was not pregnant.

A few days after I took the test again and the line was darker. I went to the doctor and was about 7 weeks pregnant when I was seen! All you could see was the tiny little bulb where the baby was growing.

This pregnancy was a lot different than my first. I was convinced I was having a baby boy. My first pregnancy I was nauseous the first trimester. This pregnancy I had no nausea and was feeling amazing.

We lived in Germany and every visit I was able to see this little babe growing.

This little one kept growing and getting bigger. For my first and this pregnancy I stopped providing for the babies and they slowly gained weight the third part of my pregnancy.

I was 38 weeks pregnant when I went into the hospital for feeling unwell. I wasn’t sick but I just felt something was wrong. They immediately got me set up to monitor miss Hailey and at this point her heart rate was going down in the 90’s and they said I needed to be induced. We were having a baby!

They induced me around 5PM and I gave birth at 3 in the morning!
