It's insanely frustrating (and confusing!) to not

It's insanely frustrating (and confusing!) to not feel any special bond with the baby growing inside you. But it's actually perfectly okayl. Let me explain: 👇

One of the things people don't talk about is that fact that maternal bond is a PROCESS that develops over time. It often doesn't happen overnight.

It can take weeks, months, in rare cases even YEARS for maternal bond to form and settle. 🙏

So when people ask you: "Do you talk to your baby?" or "Do you sing to them?"

Don't feel bad that the answer is NO. That you simply don't feel the need.

There's nothing strong with you!

Not feeling any special bond with your bump is totally normal, NATURAL, and more common than you would have thought!

It's just one of those things people don't talk about.🤷

When I became a mum, I struggled a LOT.

Emotionally.

I truly believed my life was over.fieettimem

I’ll never forget the moment when, a few weeks after giving birth, I was crying in desperation in our hospital room, repeating ‘This is the end’…

My husband Yaw then hugged me and said: ‘This is not the end. This is just the beginning!’

I wanted to believe him but I couldn’t. Although a little part of me hoped he was right. And this little light of hope meant everything to me at the time.

Now, 8 years later, I can confidently say he was so right!!

Becoming a mum - although bloody hard in the early stages - IS just the beginning! ❤️

I promise, you have so much to look forward to! 🥰 If you feel like a prisoner to your life trust me it’s just a stage that will pass! EVERYTHING will pass! Your love and bond will be getting stronger by the day too and will eventually fill up every fibre of your body in a way you didn’t know possible. ❤️ And before you know it, you won’t even be able to imagine your old life anymore.

I share my full story as the first time mum as well as PLENTY of support and reassurance in my book 'Motherhood - The Unspoken'.

It's the book I wish I had when my twins were born. It would have helped me understand that I wasn't a failure, that my feelings were totally common and natural (and why)...It would have helped me feel heard and supported and enjoy the time with my babies. I even believe it would help me avoid postnatal depression.

Just like my husband gave me hope in that one moment, I pass on this hope to YOU through this book.

Comment BOOK below if you want a copy. I'll send it to you with love and gratitude ❤️

Love, Ivana xx

Hey, mama! Just a loving reminder that it is OK

Hey, mama!

Just a loving reminder that it is OK to feel frustrated, lonely, tearful, or like you can't do this anymore.

Not only is it OK, but it is also expected and natural.

Given how much you deal with on a daily basis, it is literally impossible to beam with joy and happiness at all times, or to 'enjoy every moment'.

So PLEASE, be kind to yourself and always remember that you are a WONDERFUL mum your children are lucky to have! 🥰

Follow me if you want to feel heard and supported in motherhood.

Love,

Ivana xx

3 Facts most antenatal classes don't tell you...

3 Facts most antenatal classes don't tell you...

1. YOU MAY NOT LOVE YOUR BABY AT FIRST 😳

You may not fall in love with your baby at first sight (in fact, this is more common than you would have thought). And sometimes it takes weeks or months for the love to develop and settle. It's totally normal and common. ❤️

2. BREASTFEEDING DOESN'T HAPPEN NATURALLY 😳

Breath is a SKILL that needs to be taught, so ideally look into it before you give birth! ❤️

3. YOU WON'T ENJOY EVERY MOMENT 😳

Like with any change in love, it takes time to adjust to life with the baby too and the process comes with a LOT of surprising and conflicting feelings. Again - totally normal and natural. ❤️

Listen up, mama!

Every birth is a beautiful and NORMAL way to bring life into the world, whether it's natural, with assistance, or via c-section.

I think we often don't realise how lucky we are to have options like c-section today, saving countless lives that might have been lost in the past.

So instead of feeling like failures, let's celebrate with deep gratitude the number of choices we have to safely bring our babies into this world. ❤️

Thank you @sirin_kale for writing such important piece. ❤️
