This is so important for all new mums to see. I’m not a parent myself but can understand the transformation a new mum goes through. Don’t be so hard on yourselves ladies, you just gave birth to another life. Take it easy discover yourself, ask and accept support and don’t doubt yourself 💕

I'm glad she shared this. We hear about parents who kill their kids because they can't cope.

NEVER REALISED THIS! I WAS DIAGNOSED A FEW YEARS AGO AND HAD 2 MISCARRIAGES. I BLED PROFUSELY AT THE BIRTH OF MY FIRST DAUGHTER. DOCTORS DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG! NOW I HAVE A CLUE.

So Black Americans kept that "stay home after birthing a baby", through heritage. Now I know.
