I remember when I got pregnant I was asked to STOP posting pictures of my pregnant self because I didn’t have anything to proud of. I was told that I would struggle harder than most people & ultimately restricted from major opportunities. Just wanted to hit the TL to encourage +

Any young woman at a cross roads in their pregnancy, or post birth & let you know that despite the naysayers you CAN achieve & you WILL succeed at w.e it is you put your mind to. There arent enough positive reinforcements of this. Will not be easy, but very, very possible

Postpartum mental health is important, don’t sweep your feelings under the rug, acknowledge them & speak with your Dr. U have nothing to be ashamed of. This journey isn’t all shits n giggles like in the movies. Be proactive & make yourself a priority amongst your many new ones

Lastly, in hindsight, I’ve overcome so much, achieved so much, grown so much & if I can do it you can too. As cliche as that sounds, trust me it’s true. Happy Mother’s Day to you (Bars)
