Hey mommas!
So how’s the parenting journey going on? Do you know what is the most challenging part of this journey? Let’s do a quick poll:
- Handling sleepless nights as a new mom
- Babyproofing your apartment and understanding your li’l one’s cues
- Understanding your baby’s appetite and starting them on solids
Do you know the right answer? It’s neither!
The right answer is the self-pity and guilt that we drown ourselves in, while sailing through the journey. No one’s got it easy, that’s for sure. And one’s parenting experience is a lot different than the other. But most of the struggles are similar (and the joys too!) So why not take a step back and look at the bigger picture than wallowing in pity and questioning our own abilities?
Judging fellow moms (or ourselves) is something that’s very easy to do. But do you know the impact it leaves on the person in the opposite side? In most cases, it is the mirror, showing you a reflection of what you don’t like about yourself.
But guess what? The li’l munchkin you are handling now makes no such judgments. Your mini-me loves you whether you are slim or fat. Whether you lost those post-partum weight or skinny. Whether you are dark or fair. Whether you have those bulging bellies or flaunting a super-toned body. To your baby, you are their FIRST HERO! So why are we then so harsh on ourselves?
This Women’s Day, Prega News has come up with a brilliant campaign that throws light on the questions moms have about themselves and the doubts they put themselves through. As a fraternity, we need to pause, take notice and correct ourselves going forward. Moms need to own up and celebrate their #MarkOfStrength in their beautiful mommyhood journey.
As we often say on Kidsstoppress, remember you are the best mom your child can have!
We spoke to some amazing moms about their pregnancy journey, the hurdles they faced, how they embraced their ‘good news, and finally after battling the obstacles how they owned up to their #MarkOfStrength. Stay tuned to these wonderful stories on Kidsstoppress.com and the Kidsstoppress Instagram handle– you are sure to be inspired by these extraordinary stories.
Go ahead and check out more about the initiatives by Prega News and their efforts to help you in your parenting journey.
