Both can be true postpartum, and its okay

It’s ok if you’re struggling with being postpartum.
It’s ok if you’re thrilled you’re not pregnant anymore.

It’s ok if you’re counting the seconds until your milk comes in.
It’s ok if you’re praying it dries up.

It’s ok if you feel elation when you look at your brand new baby.
It’s ok if you don’t feel the connection yet.

It’s ok if you feel ready to get back in the gym after six weeks.
It’s ok if you can still barely get up the stairs after six weeks.

It’s ok if you’re feeling like a superhero after your belly birth.
It’s ok if you’re devastated you were forced to have a cesarean.

It’s ok if you’re on top of the world that you did it unmedicated.
It’s ok if you’re pleased that your epidural helped you enjoy your birth.

It’s ok if you’re feeling even-keeled and happy.
It’s ok if you’re miserable and teary-eyed.

It’s ok if you feel a new incredible level of love and affection for your partner.
It’s ok if you want to scream every time they sneeze loudly.

It’s ok if you feel all of these things in the span of five minutes.

The fourth trimester is easily the biggest rollercoaster of physical and emotional growth we will ever experience as women. Let’s decide to do it hand in hand. No matter how we feel, no matter what our choices are, no matter what our journey looks like, we’ll make it to the other side. Together. 🤍
