Hold the mother

Hold the mother, not the baby.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

Because the baby’s being taken care of—⁣⁣

fed, snuggled, and given all the love in the world—⁣⁣

by not only the mother,⁣⁣

but her partner, grandparents, siblings, cousins, and friends.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

But the mother,⁣⁣

may have gaps in her mind from lack of sleep,⁣⁣

may be mechanical in her motions as she’s healing,⁣⁣

may feel more like a mess than a mother,⁣⁣

may be sitting in bed, crying, feeling overwhelmed in her body and life,⁣⁣

may be full of mom guilt because in her mind, “she’s not good enough,”⁣⁣

and she’s bleeding, wincing in pain, swollen and emotional.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

And the mother’s that baby’s whole world and needs to be seen, so she doesn’t disappear into that postpartum fog.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

So, hold the mother, not the baby.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

A mother agrees that her baby matters more.⁣⁣

But she’s hurting, while she’s the person behind the baby,⁣⁣

in the background, making it all happen:⁣⁣

feeding her baby at all hours,⁣⁣

snuggling her baby close to comfort newborn cries,⁣⁣

and being that baby’s everything.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

So, it’s the mother who needs your love.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

And a mother will remember who held her up.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

So instead of “I’m coming to see the baby,”⁣⁣

try saying, “I’m coming to see you 𝘢𝘯𝘥 meet the baby, too.”⁣⁣

⁣

Because the mother needs to be held more.⁣⁣

Single Mom is better than Married Single Mom

Felt this a lot , and it got much worse

Omg, yes!! I would listen to friends who would be sad or complain when their husband’s were out of town. I didn’t have a paradigm for it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ My life was significantly EASIER when he was out of town. I enjoyed him being gone because I felt less anxiety and had so much less work to do. He didn’t add to my life. He just sucked the life out of me. Being single was SO much better.

Eggs

“All the eggs a woman will ever carry form in her ovaries while she is a four-month-old fetus in the womb of her mother.

This means our cellular life as an egg begins in the womb of our grandmother.

Each of us spent five months in our grandmother’s womb, and she in turn formed in the womb of her grandmother.

We vibrate to the rhythm of our mother’s blood before she herself is born, and this pulse is the thread of blood that runs all the way back through the grandmothers to the first mother.

Baby Magic : Mother carriers cells of baby that heal, for years

By: This Blew Up My Mind

“When pregnant, the cells of the baby migrate into the mothers bloodstream and then circle back into the baby, it’s called “fetal-maternal microchimerism”.⁠

For 41 weeks, the cells circulate and merge backwards and forwards, and after the baby is born, many of these cells stay in the mother’s body, leaving a permanent imprint in the mothers tissues, bones, brain, and skin, and often stay there for decades. Every single child a mother has afterwards will leave a similar imprint on her body, too.

Even if a pregnancy doesn’t go to full term or if you have an abortion, these cells still migrate into your bloodstream.

Research has shown that if a mother’s heart is injured, fetal cells will rush to the site of the injury and change into different types of cells that specialize in mending the heart.

The baby helps repair the mother, while the mother builds the baby.

How cool is that?

This is often why certain illnesses vanish while pregnant.

It’s incredible how mothers bodies protect the baby at all costs, and the baby protects & rebuilds the mother back – so that the baby can develop safely and survive.

Think about crazy cravings for a moment. What was the mother deficient in that the baby made them crave?

Studies have also shown cells from a fetus in a mothers brain 18 years after she gave birth. How amazing is that?”

If you’re a mom you know how you can intuitively feel your child even when they are not there….Well, now there is scientific proof that moms carry them for years and years even after they have given birth to them.

I find this to be so very beautiful.
