August 16, 2019 //  by Marian Mitchell//  Leave a Comment

When the new baby comes, most of the time everything is centered around the perfect new human in your lives. You need to remember to take care of yourself too. Both physically and emotionally, your body will be wrecked. Your immune system will be lower too, meaning it might be easier to catch an illness. Make a little time for yourself. It’s hard. Especially with the new member of your family. But it can be done. In some cases, it simply needs to be done for your wellbeing. The ideas below aren’t all-encompassing, and everyone is different, but hopefully it can help you on the way to ensuring self-care.

Check Your Mental State

Everyone knows about postnatal depression. But there are other types of mental illness that can come from giving birth and having a new baby in the household. Of course, depression can occur from other complications in pregnancy, there is help for these too, such as abortion depression help or help for those who miscarry. For those who give birth, there is Anxiety, fear of leaving your child, fear of going out, etc. These are all common problems. Don’t think you’re abnormal for going through these motions. Just make sure you address them when they come up. Tell your partner, family, and friends. Get the help you need and deserve which can help you to be the best parent you can possibly be.

Take care of yourself after baby too

Exercise

It’s used as a form of self-therapy to cure many ailments of mental health. Not only that, it’s good for you too. It allows you to get out of your home and have some you time. Being able to take some time out can keep your mind fresh and stop you from going stir crazy. If you’re not one for exercise just get out and about for walks, with or without the baby. Listen to music or a podcast while your at it to try and completely switch off. If you’re not the kind of person who likes going out on your own you can do some group exercise. This can be a team sport of some kind or perhaps a class. There are many options for you to explore, but remember, one of the main things you’re meant to do after having a baby is exercise.

Keep Your Hobbies

If your hobby is exercise, you’re on to a winner. A lot of people completely forget the amount of time having a newborn takes out of you. It’s easy to lose your hobbies into it. Try to hang onto them, otherwise, you could become resentful. Some naturally don’t fit, like traveling or hiking, but most can be worked into your new schedule. Going to see a film once a week should be attainable. If you like reading, make time for it. Gaming? Do the same. Whether you’re swapping out with your partner or indulging when the newborn sleeps, make time for yourself and your hobby. It might just keep you sane. The key point to remember is that having a child affects everyone differently. Get on top of it as quick as you can.
