The moment you find out you’re pregnant, the conversation just changes. It’s all you think about- your pregnancy, the birth, are you prepared, etc., it’s a lot and all you think about. You seek support, advice, suggestions, education, tips and this is why it’s so important to find your mom tribe!
Your mom tribe can be mothers in your family, friends that are mothers or even an online group! For example, I joined a “Denver Mommas” Facebook group while pregnant and WOW! This group was incredibly supportive for any of my questions and concerns. They were and still are a HUGE support system for me! Even when I need to vent- it’s not always about just getting questions answered.
Your mom tribe can be the next house over or states away- it doesn’t matter. What matters is that you find a support system! There are so many things you will need to express, get advice on, etc and your partner will not always be the one to give it- and that’s okay!
The connection and bond I’ve gained with other mothers has been tremendous. I feel connected to other mom’s even if we are strangers! So, find your mom tribe! Know who you can call when you need to! Know that you are deserving of the support and know that whatever you’re going through or feeling- you are not alone!
MOM GANG!!
