Your Postpartum Story
Please share as much or as little as you like about your experiences during the postpartum time, meaning the days, weeks, months or even years after your child(ren) was born. Here are some ideas to get you started:
• Tell the story of your first few days or weeks after the birth or adoption of your child.
• What did you love most during the postpartum time? What was the most difficult?
• How did you ask for help or get support, and from whom? What kind of support do you wish you had had?
• What were your relationships like with the people around you? How did they change?
• How did you reconnect with the outside world again? Socially, professionally, emotionally, or in other areas of your life?
• How did you feel during this time? Did you grow or change yourself?
• Share anything you like about your relationship with your baby!!
If you are not the baby's parent but a support to the new family, I hope these points will still inspire you to share your experiences, feelings, and relationships during the postpartum time.
