You have just had the most beautiful experience one can hope for - having your baby. But your body will not feel the same. Giving birth unsettles the hormones and your state of emotions. Add this to new responsibilities and you have a recipe for high anxiety, mood swings and irritable moments. Moms, you are normal. In fact such feelings should dissapear in a week or less; otherwise seek professional help and advice. In any case, here are some suggestions to comfort you.
1. Become a member of a mom's club and share your anxieties.
2. Have a healthy and balance diet.
3. Record your new experiences - your journal can be your sounding board.
4. Get help woth additional chores that may tire you.
5. Try not to be perfect; don't set yourself unrealistic tasks.
6. Treat yourself to a dinner or a movie with your husband - do something for yourself without baby.
7. Get as much rest as you possibly can - sleep when baby sleeps.
8. Seek help and advice from others - talk to friends, family, even your doctor.
9. Remind yourself there are others like you and you are not alone.
