Guilt, Worry and New Mum Pamper Gifts?
Do you even know how you feel about being pregnant or giving birth? Yes, you’re excited about the eventual gender reveal and/or baby shower and the possibility of getting lots of getting new mum gifts, although typically these don’t come until much later on, usually just before baby has arrived. Sadly, our research shows that during most of a pregnancy, the typical mum-to-be:
- Feels guilt – is she doing enough?
- Are family spending too much/little time and money on her?
- Is fixated on hoping baby is healthy
- thinks about the foods she’s eating (is it too much/too little?)
- Worries about eating the right foods?
- why she feels sick when her friend doesn’t?
- is she using the right products on your skin?
- Why is she the only one with swollen ankles in the ante natal class?
- Will people judge you if you have a c-section?
- Will anyone buy her the new mum gift she actually wants?
Honestly, the petty worries and the guilt are unceasing. On top of which, as a new mum to be, you want to ensure baba has everything before they’re born, from the cutest little outfits (for their social media “coming-out” appearances), to the matching nursery furniture (for more social media appearances) and the best set of soft educationally stimulating baby books and cuddly toys to match the calming aesthetics of their nursery, again for show on social media!
Add to that, the niggling concerns you have about going back to work or not going back, being able to cope with your job once your maternity leave is over, wondering whether you will be “forgotten” or overlooked for promotion if you’re not there, as well as whose nose, eyes and ears baby will have!
Imagine “all of the above” taking place “nonstop” inside your head and on repeat for 40 weeks long or 280 days. You're not exactly being filled with good thoughts given that we only get 365 days in a whole year anyway! Are you really going to spend over three-quarters of that time worrying about things that either you can’t change or that on reflection don’t matter that much?
What is clear is that if you are not careful during your pregnancy, way too much of your energy can be spent worrying and that is not good because baby picks up on every single drop of little mama’s energies 😓😱 Honestly mama, one of the best things you can do is to stop stressing because whatever will be, will be, no matter how much you stress about it!
What goes on with you mentally, emotionally and physically during your pregnancy, can negatively or positively charge baby, so choose your thoughts and your energies wisely over the next nine months. Choose to see the positives in every situation, make your experience as positive and as fun-filled as you can, so that more fun and positivity will likely come your way. There are so many opportunities for achieving such outcomes. Start by going for walks, meditating more, laughing and seeing the funny side when things don’t go your way and even paying attention to the little details of everyday things, like a simple flower or see yourself playing with little bubba’s tiny little toes. Choose to indulge your whims, the ones that make you happy, like finding the right new mum gifts or gift boxes. Seek enjoyment from every simple experience.
