The First 6 Months of Motherhood – What No One Tells You
They say motherhood journey is magical🪄. They don’t say it’s also messy, mind-bending, and mildly maddening. The first 6 months? They aren’t just a phase—they’re a full-blown transformation. From night feeds to nipple creams, from overwhelming love to “what the hell am I doing?” moments—this is the unfiltered truth.
The Emotional Earthquake
No one tells you that you’ll cry because the baby smiled… and also because they pooped on you. Hormones? Wild. You? Wiser.
Science check: Hormonal fluctuations in the postpartum phase are real. Oxytocin, dopamine, cortisol—they all play musical chairs in your body.
Spiritual lens: Your emotional waves are purifying you. You’re shedding old layers, becoming divine in a new form.
Sleep Is a Myth (Kind of)
It’s not that you won’t sleep during the motherhood journey. It’s that your sleep will be sponsored by interruptions. You’ll dream in 40-minute bursts.
But here’s the truth: your body is smarter than you think. It adapts. You adapt.
Science says: The brain builds resilience in new mothers to help function even on less sleep.
Spiritual tip: Surrender to rest, not routine.
You’ll Doubt Yourself, A Lot ;(
Am I doing this right? Is the baby okay? Should I be doing more?
The answer is: You are enough.
Scientific back-up: Studies show maternal intuition is powerful—even stronger than clinical guidelines in some cases.
Spiritual whisper: You are the goddess. Trust your Shakti.
You’ll Discover Superpowers 😇
From decoding baby cries like a language to feeding, soothing, rocking, managing—there’s a whole dimension of yourself awakening.
This is where the “Matru” becomes “Mantra🥹
So no, no one tells you these things. But maybe that’s because they can’t define motherhood journey . And thats why I am here for all my moms and moms to be . I will share my heart and soul with all of you and in sharing this, I’m fulfilling my sacred duty as a sister. I have always believed that the pain I’ve endured holds purpose—not just for me, but for the collective. By sharing what I’ve been through, how I found my way, and the lessons I learned, I offer a path. A light. So that others, especially the women walking on the same path, may not stumble where I once fell.
“I walked through fire so I could carry water. I fell so I could show the way. If my story spares even one soul from the same pain, then my journey becomes divine.” Is the purpose of MATRU MANTRA 🥹🧿🫶🏻.
This article from Greater Good Science Center helped me understand how motherhood actually rewires the brain.
In my upcoming post on baby routines that saved my sanity, I’ll share the exact flow that helped me breathe again.
This face carries sleepless nights, sacred wisdom, and the fire to raise a whole human soul.
