1. You aren't alone.
2. You don't have to parent the same way other parents do.
The good news is you’re not alone – even if it feels that way.
Only you can know what is best for your individual situation, your health condition, and your unique baby.
6 Things Moms With Pain Should Know
In America alone,
50 million women live with chronic pain *We all have things we wish we’d done differently, and we all have things we’d do differently if only our circumstances were different.
3. You don't have to parent the way you would if you weren't in pain.
4. Let go of the guilt.
Our preconceived ideas of what good mothering looks like have to shift to accommodate our health.
5. Accept help whenever you can.
Your child will benefit from being surrounded by loved ones, even if you can’t be there every minute.
