Picture perfect 

For some women, getting up in the morning and facing yourself in the mirror is quite a challenging feat. Your once svelte frame now holds proof that you have gone through nine months of carrying another person inside you- and that in itself is no easy feat. There may be days, and probably a lot of them, when you would not like the person that you see in the mirror. Not everyone can go through huge changes, especially physical changes, and still feel as if everything is a-okay. For the moments that you can’t bring yourself up, take the time to see yourself in a different perspective. Social media can play a huge role in both the negative and positive things that you are feeling. Change your mindset about the woman that you see in the mirror by curating your own social media into following fellow women who are experiencing the same things that you are. Build a positive community for yourself, one who can understand the struggles of being a mom and a woman. To learn more about post-pregnancy care, visit Doulas of the Valley for more information.

Finding peace within yourself

Now that your baby is out and about, taking care of your child can be chaotic not just to your home, but to your mental and physical state as well. Being super mom is not easy, so you should also remember to take good care of yourself. Take the time to be your own individual person, and not just Best Mom Ever. Have a day all to yourself. Call your girls and set up a brunch date with them. Pamper yourself with a day at the spa. You can also have a full day at the salon with mani-pedi- a fresh coat of nail polish can always brighten your day! Since staying in is still advisable as of the moment, given the current state of the world, soak yourself in the tub with a bubble bath, a glass of wine, and soft jazz music to set the mood for a day of rest and relaxation. Remember to always treat yourself every once in a while. Learn more about post-pregnancy care tips! Check out Doulas of the Valley for more information.
