Your Momma never told you, if your pregnant, you and your man should go to counseling before the baby comes.
Ladies...nothing prepares you for what is to come...after you have your first child. After you go through the shocking sometimes life threatening experience of having a human being come out of your body...you are thrown in to motherhood in a feverous pitch. From breast engorgement to not being able to sit down...and not to mention sleep deprevation...you will experience a wave of emotion that will effect you and your relationship. If you choose to breastfeed, no one tells you your nipples ache with pain for weeks and meanwhile you have someone laying next to you that wants to have sex....NOW.....yikes.
Ladies....get you and your man prepared for the baby by going to counseling before the little one appears. A counselor will prepare you for the changes that are about to occur and give you tools and encouragement to get through the first year...and trust me...you are going to need it. This is the first time you will experience pure exhaustion and emotional breakdowns.
Within the first three weeks, you will even say quietly to yourself, "Why the hell did I do this?" (Don't worry, because when you keep looking at that little face...you will fall in love all over again.)
You will not be able to eat, sleep, bathe, watch TV, drive, wash your hair...when you want to. The baby will rule your life and what you do each day. It is a major life change that you need to be prepared for because you will change...you are now a mother...you will be different. Your mate needs to have a clear understanding of what he needs to do to support you and the little one. There will me major changes in housework, schedules, dr appointments, and in law relationships. Expectations of each other will change.
Go to a professional...get excited and get prepared because this is one of the most important thing you both will do....raising a child.
Trust me...I have two beautiful children who I love dearly but I would have appreciated someone preparing me and my EX-husband for what was to come.
Till next time ladies.
