planning for postpartum

🤍 Your journey into motherhood came with a built-in superpower: your intuition. But sometimes, between your mother-in-law's "helpful tips" (not you Barb!), your friend's strong opinions, and those 3AM doom-scrolling sessions through parenting forums, that inner voice gets muffled.Here's your reminder: You were designed for this. 🤱That feeling in your gut when something doesn't feel right?Listen to it.That instinct to hold your baby a certain way? Trust it. That inner knowing about what your baby needs? Follow it.Your maternal instincts aren't random - they're your internal GPS, carefully tuned to YOUR baby's unique needs. Don't let the noise of well-meaning advice and internet "experts" override what you know deep down. 💫👇 Drop a "❤️" if you've ever had to tune out the noise to hear your own maternal wisdom!#motherhood #momlife #maternalinstinct #newborn #newmom #postpartum #fourthtrimester #motherhoodunplugged #momtruths #momsofinstagram #gentleparenting #attachmentparenting #peacefulmotherhood #consciousparenting #motherhoodjourney #momunity #trustyourinstincts #motherhoodwisdom #honestmotherhood #normalizenormalbirth #postpartumjourney #maternitycare #newborncare
