The 1 Thing That Helped Me Feel Sane Postpartum
“The thing that got me through those emotionally turbulent first months without totally losing my mind was nowhere to be found on my trusty postpartum checklists.”
When I was pregnant, I wasn’t really interested in seeking out “mommy friends.” The idea of getting together with other women just because we all happened to have babies around the same age seemed kind of lame. After all, I already had friends. And I certainly wasn’t going to spend hours talking about boring stuff like the best diapers or the most soothing infant massage routine. Yet within a week of my son Eli being born, I found myself frantically Googling mom groups in my area.
Our time consisted of simply sitting in a big circle, and one by one sharing whatever was on our minds. After weeks of thinking that Eli was the only newborn on Earth who didn’t take long, luxurious naps every day, I tearfully told everyone that it seemed like he only ever slept for a few minutes andif I was wearing him, and how I was worried that I might never be able to get anything done again.
