 Being a new parent is HARD, what's even more challenging...being a new mother! New mom's feel isolated, alone and out of sorts. Nothing shakes your identity to the core more, than the transition to motherhood. It's amazing, exciting, joyous, but often also, lonely and sad.
Remember the saying, "it takes a village?????" Not sure about you, but when I had a baby, my village was nowhere to be seen. Not that I don't have great family and friends, I am sure you do too. But no one knows the rollercoaster that you are experiencing like another new parent! Being able to share your common experiences, triumphs and challenges with someone who knows exactly where you are, is invaluable. So what if you are like me, your friends weren't having babies at the same time as you? Or they live far away. Where can you meet your people? Let me help put a small dent in helping you find your village! Here is a list of some places you can search for your village: https://www.birthbabysleep.ca/mom-chats.html https://www.embracedoula.ca/drop-in-group https://novascotia.ca/coms/families/prevention-and-early-intervention/family-resource-centres.html https://halifax.bibliocommons.com/ https://www.nshealth.ca/women-and-childrens-health-program/public-health-parenting-supports Comments are closed.
