Stress

Hey! You might be pregnant and expecting a good news within a few months/days or may be you are having a baby. What can be better than this news? You should make this moment of your life now the best of all, as being mother is the moment to feel blessed.

Being blessed with a baby is really very exciting but you may experience some tensions with it. You may experience a bulk of fatigues from the very moment of the delivery of your baby. If you’re having first baby, you can not afford to rely on the hospitals completely, as they don’t give you very much help or advice. Instead, the hospitals send you home along with the infant and hand over a list of demands to you which you got to interpret. The new babies don’t sleep much-at least not that long that you may take the needed rest and refresh yourself. Sometimes you tend to think that you won’t be able to get a full night’s sleep again; at least till the baby settles into a routine. Adding to it, the experiencing of hormonal changes in your own body, and you are having a formula that’s guaranteed to be stressful. But don’t worry!

There are some useful tips and practical advises that you can work on; to surpass the fatigues of the few initial weeks – being a mother.

Firstly, do not think that you might change or handle the things being a super mom. Remember to take a snooze too, when your baby sleeps. The laundry can wait for you until you get fresh a little and so do the dishes in the kitchen. Do not think to maintain or revitalize the perfect house of yours and give yourself a break whenever you get the opportunity to sleep and refresh yourself, as your baby naps.

Don’t hesitate to request for a help to any of your close friends or relatives for a day, and by all means take advantage of that for an afternoon. Grandma would probably jump at the chance to have the baby all to herself for a few hours.

When putting the baby on bed for the night, take some time to relax, so that you could have a better chance of falling asleep. Get fresh by taking a lavender scented bath; put on some soft music and pat yourself a little. Sometimes it gets really hard even without a new baby to fall asleep right away. There are a lot of things to get used to!
