Mama Returns; How did it all start?
On a cold, dark and wet morning in winters of 2017; I felt a strong calling to build a support system for mothers. I had just given birth to my daughter.
What did I do when I felt a total wreck emotionally? Tired, Sleep deprived, Irritated, Angry & more.... I went silent.
I do not want the mothers or parents or guardians to go silent. I want to give them the voice, the platform, the support system we all need.
Here's my story
When I was going through pregnancy, it was overwhelming the number of things
to be done, finding the right thing, doing the right thing, dealing with the changes in me both physically & emotionally. Finding the right balance between work and everything else.
Looking up for these things on internet did not help. Asking friends and family on what to expect and what not to expect?
People have lots of advises on the right & wrong.
But, no one prepares for the feeling of being overwhelmed, no one prepares
how to manage our emotions when we don’t feel the way we used to. No one
talks about what does it mean to have a 40 days menstruation and bleed. No one talks about managing work, home, baby & self is not easy but all these changes are temporary and it is a phase, shall pass.
We don’t get any ready manual to know, what does it mean to be pregnant and do
everything we used to do. It is a different journey for all of us.
Some manages well and some don’t.
Everyone is focused on baby, BUT we need to focus on mother too.
Mama returns is a platform for mothers and open to all parents, fathers and guardians included.
There is much more to pregnancy than just the baby. I invite you to join my workshop in march or april.
