Top Five Ways to Embrace New Motherhood Again
Congratulations! You’ve become a mother again. It’s both exactly the same and completely different than last time. If you’re anything like I was, you’re realized very quickly that you have to move twice as fast and have a lot less time to invest in recovering from pregnancy and childbirth than you did the first time.
Here are five tips to help you through the transition from one child to two:
5. Deal with all of the little discomforts that result from childbirth before they become bigger problems. It’s much easier to deal with a few piles than it is to deal with an infection down there.
4. Call a friend who is also a mother to talk about, and possibly cry about, the birth itself.
3. Don’t even step on the scales until the baby is six weeks old. After that, try to get a little exercise every day.
2. Make sure you get a three-hour break at least once a week.
1. Accept help where and when you can get it.

So glad to have rediscovered you (again!) today, Kate. I don’t know how I missed linking you back onto my sidebar last time I cleaned up, but Babylune is there again now and I know a few new mothers who will appreciate finding you/it there.
