I’m a silent watcher with no children but I had to comment on this one, absolutely INCREDIBLE! I loved the chit chat friendly vibe to it, it felt like having a catch up with friends! Even though I have no children, this felt so refreshing to hear about the highs and lows of motherhood! It was truly special listening to this one✨🙌🏼
Mom of 2 here! I had a traumatic birth with my first and she’s just turned 7. My second just turned 2 yesterday and my experience was massively different with him. Looking back, I feel like I missed out on a lot on the scrunchie, squishy instantly in love connection with my first because of the traumatic birth which triggered postpartum anxiety. This podcast was so therapeutic, as always. Thank you both for this chat. I loved listening in.
Whilst I was in a sleep clinic with my four month old … I had a chat with the maternity nurses regarding “not feeling an overwhelming love for my new son like most mothers rave about”… she told me that they had had an in service by a psychiatrist who informed them he actually loves hearing mothers not being immediately head over heels for their newborns. He said, you don’t meet a stranger and immediately love them, as you don’t know their personality traits/likes and dislikes etc … as you get to learn about your new little human - that is where the true bond and unbreakable love grows. My little man is 7 months now, and that strong bond has definitely settled in 🥰🥰 Societal pressures on ‘especially’ new mothers to be professional mothers from the get go … it is a learned skill, that grows with your child. ❤
It's wonderful that Tayla mentioned the 'helplessness' the partner feels when they see their girlfriend/wife going through what they do as a first time mum. THAT isn't talked about enough so I really love that that was mentioned. We start our IVF journey in the matter of weeks; it's comforting to hear (not dismissing any struggles along the way) a positive story by someone who received their baby after trying for a while. It gets really disheartening seeing SO many scare stories online about IVF not working and it being "20 years and still no hope". It's an awful confusion of the mind and really makes you feel if it's the right thing to do. This is the exact confidence and faith needed. Probably the best episode so far, and all the others have been amazing!! Thank you for sharing! 🤍
