I’m in the midst of this myself! Let me tell you, if it weren’t for support system, the 4th trimester would truly pull me under the waves. It’s heavy, it’s humbling, it’s healing, and it’s hell. And pretty much every other adjective in between.
There’s so much about the 4th trimester we are still trying to learn, but something that’s very clear, we are on a hormonal down spiral after being in a hormonal high for 9 months. Not fun at all.
For me, the biggest challenge has been keeping my mood in check. And making sure that I’m going the extra mile to feed my body well and give it rest when it needs. (Hah.. sleep.. have you heard of her?)
What has been the most challenging part of the 4th trimester for you?
