It almost feels like we are feeling the exact same thing, the last two months have been the most beautiful months of my life yet the most difficult.

The first 3 months of my sons life, I don’t remember. I was still traumatised by his birth and being stuck in hospital with a blood infection for 5 days after. I only just started feeling myself around 6 months PP. He is now 10 months and I am starting to feel like a slight bit of my old self. This is totally normal to feel this way. Nobody is honest about motherhood and they need an influencer like you to tell the world so mothers are believed!

@nic4586 Жыл бұрын
@@cip438 I disagree with your comment. The pain and exhaustion she went through (from the birth through to the excruciating constipation- to the point she felt she needed medical attention) would be enough to cause trauma. Experiencing trauma and PTSD are different things. You can experience trauma and heal from that, although the effects will last in the mind, whereas with PTSD there are many symptoms that accompany that trauma and the effects of the mind, causing it to last longer. It does not have to be a life threatening event to cause trauma or PTSD. Please don’t confuse the two different things. One is a mental health condition/disorder, one is an experience that anyone can feel. I don’t doubt that she did experience trauma. Birthing a baby, the after effects of having a baby, the UTI she had, the tiredness/lack of sleep (a form of torture in itself), mixed with her partner leaving to go to another country would all be enough to experience trauma.
@nomiromi3 Жыл бұрын
@@cip438 that’s such a strange thing to say. Molly herself used the word trauma to describe her experience and I think we should listen to her, and any person that feels they had been through something traumatic, without questioning the severity of the situation to fit your own definition of trauma. None of us can say how another person is supposed to feel or not feel about their own motherhood experience except the mother herself. Also, undermining motherhood is very strange, Mothers are fucking superhero’s are their job is no easy thing! so pls give credit where credit is due. These women created, birthed and raise life, that in of itself is not “easy” it’s brave.

@@cip438 “Trauma” is an event that we do not have sufficient emotional resources to process at the time. This is why an event can happen to one person and they can recover just fine, yet an identical thing can happen to someone else and they struggle to process it. It is not about the nature of the event that occurs, it is about how well the person is equipped emotionally at the time that it happens. Everyone’s capacity and threshold for coping with difficult events or circumstances is different. This is taught by therapists when a patient is invalidating their own trauma, or under the impression they are overreacting or “making a fuss” about something that has genuinely effected them.
@juliet.olivia Жыл бұрын
@@cip438 I’m not saying if these events did or didn’t traumatise Molly (only she can know that). I was just commenting on the subject of trauma as a whole, and the meaning of the word when used in psychotherapy. However, the human threshold for trauma does not differ because of the overuse of a word. That’s a very bold statement to make. People were experiencing differing reactions to the same sort of event LONG before society became more aware of these things, and started speaking about it more openly. The level of a trauma response doesn’t depend on what is objectively more or less severe of an event.
@juliet.olivia Жыл бұрын
@@cip438 Why does classifying something like this as trauma “invalidate real trauma survivors”? The presence of one person’s trauma will never equate to the absence of someone else’s. Comparing the severity of an event to something worse is not something that should ever come into it. That just feeds into the whole “my problems are worse than yours” dynamic that prevents people from speaking up in the first place. To me, that’s like saying somebody that’s three weeks pregnant calling themselves “pregnant” is invalidating for someone who’s eight months pregnant.

Just wanna say to MollyMae that those feelings are normal, you would think having a baby/child, is the best thing ever but it really is very hard. Your own life is a little bit over. A child just take all your energy and time, especially when they are that little. Also a very important thing which I just hear you say, the epidural....... it is causing you to feel so bad. I have a book from a dutch doctor talking about the effects it has on a new mother and it is bad, especially your emotions are very normal. It takes around a year, up to 1,5 year to get the effects of the epidural worn out. What it comes down to is that an epidural makes you feel more distance from others because it does some terrible things with your hormones for example.

Claiming she didn’t sleep for 5 days is laughable. It’s impossible and as she was under the care of the best postnatal health service in the UK, there is absolutely no way they would let one of their patients go without sleep. All you lot giving her sympathy is feeding her need for attention. Give it to people who need it and stop being so gullible.

So happy we have people like you in this world Molly to be an advocate for women’s feelings and to speak so openly about the struggles of transitioning within the world of motherhood. Hope you’re okay, you’re doing a brilliant job and it will all be worth it as you see your little girl grow throughout her years and how you’ve helped support her through that❤

I'm 16 months into motherhood and honestly, I felt the same as you from the start but didn't get the help I needed because I thought it was how everyone felt so I thought I just had to get on with it. I had post natal depression it turns out! The charity PANDAS can help and also other support parents groups in your local area ❤

I think every single mother will relate. My baby is now 18 months and I remember ever single second of the first few weeks/months she was born. The absolute best days of my life yet the saddest and most depressed I’ve ever been. Things always get better but there are still really hard days and nights. But they always alwaaays get better. Motherhood is truly something no body can ever prepare you for❤

I have a 9 month old and have just started to feel these feelings and can completely relate. I’m not sure why it’s only hit me now rather than earlier but my god, being a first time mum is simply amazing and wonderful, but so frikkin hard at the same time! Some days are great and some days are awful and it’s ok to feel upset, broken and overwhelmed - I’ve learnt this is totally normal and you/we are not alone ❤

Everything you said is the reality of being a new mom babe. I went through the same thing. When my daughter was born I didn't sleep for 2 days straight and started having such terrible anxiety that I went into crisis. It was the scariest time of my life. Nobody prepares you for what can happen when you give birth. It's wild!!! Take all the time you need and things do get soooo much better ❤️

What you are feeling is so so normal when you become a new mum. Life itself is very overwhelming. You question every decision you make, you’re exhausted, it almost feels like an out of body experience for a while. It’s plain to see what a natural mum you are and the balance will work itself out eventually. Thank you for being so transparent because it’s so important. People in the media often make it look like it’s SO easy and perfect and it’s absolutely not the case so well done you for being so honest about it because it really is so hard and a massive change. It gets easier as you go and we’re all out here winging it. Sending you love 🫶🏼

Thank you for being so real and honest. I didn’t hear people when they said how my life is going to change etc and it hit me hard. I was so overwhelmed I felt like I couldn’t speak out about it because everyone else seemed to just get on with it and I didn’t want to seem like I had failure or a bad mum. I didn’t want to talk to or see anyone I just wanted my partner. Women like you who talk about the reality make me feel like I’m not alone and I can do this 💕 being a mum is the best thing ever, we need to be kinder to ourselves and support each other! ❤

Becoming a mum, no matter how much you wanted it or felt ready will always be the hardest thing you do. I've read that people with 5 kids and more will say that the transition from 0 to 1 kid is the hardest because you really can't comprehend how your life changes. My baby is just about to turn 10 months. I love him so much and love being his mum but the emotional rollercoaster of the first few months have absolutely terrified me with regards to having a second. I naively thought that because my baby was planned there was no way I could suffer from PPD, but I did until he was about 6 months. I think a lot more people will relate to you and what you're going through than you would expect. Take care of yourself and do what you want at your own pace ❤

As a mummy of 5 here I can completely agree with this, deffo going from no children to 1 child is an absolute change to everything in your life, and I would say when we have no children we live life selfishly and free. If we want to go somewhere or do anything you can just decide to go. With a baby you have to plan and think about everything! After 0-1 I found going from 1-2 is also hard, as you have this 1 child that is your main priority and you can just chase them round as a toddler, if you have your second baby close to the 1st then it is hard to look after a newborn and chase a toddler at the same time. And also after the 2nd you have less time to recover, you can’t just sit there and rest when your baby is sleeping because you have another child that also needs your attention and you do feel very overwhelmed with the amount of time you are on your feet straight after the birth. We had 3 children and my husband had a vasectomy as we decided 3 was enough, he went ahead and had the snip done then I started feeling unwell and the doctor sent me to the hospital as I said there is ovviously no way I could be pregnant and turns out I fell pregnant 2 days before hubby had the snip it worked out! I was 14 weeks pregnant with TWINS!!!! Omg the shock I was feeling was incredible! I felt blessed and horrified all in one go and going from 3 to 5 children was incredibly difficult! Just from the stares from people all the time when we are out with them, I’ve been asked if they all have the same dad, (they do, me and hubby been together since we were 15 and we are 35 now).

100% agree. I’ll never forget the struggle of having my first son. I remember having the full on baby blues, it was so hard. Partly learning how to be a parent, partly losing yourself and the life you once knew. Nothing can prepare you. I remember being in tears a lot. Now second time around it’s so much easier, I feel confident and competent and I already know that the difficult moments pass and I’ve already figured out how to be mr as well as a mum. Those first few months are so hard with your first, but it gets better ❤ you’ve got this

@@sarahmcd9345 I have a 6 year gap between mine so that has helped, my first is independent with getting his own snacks and we can do activities like watching a movie together whilst I feed the baby and I don’t have to chase him round. That said, as he’s at school and has activities like swimming etc my second just has to deal with it and I can’t just stay at home if u don’t feel like going out 😅 so it’s harder in some ways too

If you look at the actual definition of trauma/traumatized, childbirth and the first few days of motherhood absolutely fall within that definition. Everything you said made sense and was what I experienced in my first few days as a mom too. I still have a hard time articulating my thoughts one year later 😂

Adore Molly ❤ As a mother of 3 (all under 5), I can say it’s a massive adjustment each time. It doesn’t mean it’s not worth it or incredible but you’re switching from a life all about you and your own agenda to the “mom” version of yourself. Be patient with yourself and take advantage of others ability to help when you need it. You can’t be the best version of mom Molly without making sure that you’re taken care of first. Your hormones are shifting, your body is changing, and it’s hard. It’ll take probably 8-12 months to feel a bit more “normal” and settled. Love and appreciate your realness. From experience, the whole stool softener deal at the hospital is greatly underplayed, it’s crucial. Hang in there! 🥰

Mama of a 4 year old and 2 year old here. We go through SO much as mums and for some reason we still put this huge amount of pressure on ourselves to just get on with it when we all lose ourselves somewhere in the midst of motherhood. It’s the most beautiful amazing thing but also the hardest sometimes! You will start to feel more like ‘you’ soon. Maybe never the same but you’ll find your ‘pre baby self’ in snippets over the years and think ahhhh there she is. ❤

I’m not a parent however I struggle massively with mental health, it makes me feel like I’m not myself, brain fog exhaustion & just emotional. Although it’s not the same as being a mum the issues can definitely be similar in ways. I’ve always admired how you keep yourself positive & find ways through hard times. Seeing you have such a hard time isn’t nice to watch as a fan however it has made me realise that we all are human & basically have to go through shit times whoever we are & not to be putting so much pressure on ourselves. It’s clear you idolise Bambi & the fact you are struggling shows how much it means to you. This video has helped me even though I’m not a parent so I’m sure you’ve helped so many others too. We all love you. Thanks for being a friend to us all as that’s how we see you ❤️❤️
