Affirming Motherhood - New Moms Affirmations Pt2

My thoughts are not who I am as a mother 

I will have weak moments 

I will have strong moments 

Each moment is valid 

I can do this tired

I can do this hungry 

I can do this with all my emotions 

My emotions will be honored 

My emotions will not take ownership of me 

I am capable of mothering my child

I am capable of feeding my child

My supply is adequate 

I am in constant overflow

My baby loves me 

I love my baby

I am strong

I am strong even when I feel weak and helpless 

I give myself grace 

I am loved 

I am appreciated 

I am not forgotten about 

I wrote these mom affirmations on Oct 27th, 2019. A little over a month of giving birth to Baby Moon 🌙 and never got to share them. This was one of my toughest postpartum recovery’s (physically) out of my 3 deliveries. I don’t believe I’ve ever felt so helpless, defeated, mentally lost. I also don’t believe I’ve been so prayed up either.  Postpartum depression ALMOST got the best of me. I say almost because I had really bad postpartum my first two pregnancies and frankly was fearful even with all the healing and wellness I’ve been practicing that it would show it’s ugly face again and consume me. Because it’s not biased.  It does not discriminate. There were days I was like oh no here it comes. And there were other days I had the strength to rebuke it and say nope not today! Not this time around.  

Friends, it has taken me over 5 months to share more intimately about this but I’m finally ready to share my birth story with you… stay tuned for it xoxo
