Tabitha, 25, shares her experience with us, ‘I thoroughly enjoyed the first month of my baby’s arrival. I adored feeding her, bathing her, photographed her cute moments and the works. But after a month, I figured that I had lost my own life. Everything in my life was centered around my daughter. That wasn’t feeling fair, to tell you the truth!’ Are you feeling the same? It’s but natural friends. You might want to consider taking a post-natal coping counseling session too.
