Being a mother

Praises be to Allaah.

Bismillah. 

Alhamdulillah. 

Dear self, Remember that just healing from surgery takes a significant amount of time and energy. 

Add to that all the postpartum changes your body is going through – along with your new round-the-clock parenting responsibilities – and you're bound to be in less-than-top condition for a while.

Be patient. 

InsyaAllah. In time, you'll be feeling better and enjoying life with your new baby.
