Congratulations!
You may be pregnant or maybe you just had a baby (and lucky you if you actually have time to read this)! There’s no feeling more incredible than when you’ve just had a baby.
So why don’t you feel wonderful all the time?
Well, even the best events in life have stress attached to them. Having a baby is exciting for everyone. You’ve been flooded with company practically from the moment of delivery. If you’re a first-time mother, hospitals don’t give you very much help or advice; they send you home with this new little creature with an array of demands that you have to try to interpret. And new babies don’t sleep much. Let me rephrase that. New babies sleep a lot, but only in short stretches, which usually means that you do not get the nice long “lights out” that you are used to as an adult. (more…)
