Dear parent,
I understand the conflicting feelings swirling inside you as you prepare to welcome your first child. The excitement of meeting this long-awaited little being mixes with the anxiety of the unknown that awaits you. But know that you are not alone on this journey.
Over the past few months, you may have been overwhelmed by an avalanche of advice and opinions from all sides. But ultimately, the most important thing is also to listen to yourself . Only you know your child better than anyone , even before you meet them. Trust your parental instincts, as they will be your compass in times of doubt and uncertainty.
Don't be afraid to ask for help
It's normal to feel overwhelmed sometimes, especially when navigating uncharted waters. Don't let pride stop you from asking for help when you need it . Whether it's with your partner, family, friends or even professionals, it's important to know that you have a support network you can count on.
Make room for imperfection
Parenting is not a competition to see who can be the perfect parent. You will make mistakes, you will doubt yourself, and you will wonder from time to time if you are enough. But remember that you are human, that it's okay to break down and make some mistakes. 😅
Celebrate small victories
In the first days and weeks, every little accomplishment your baby has will seem like a big victory. From the first smile to the first word , each stage of development will be an opportunity to celebrate and savor the miracle of life. Take the time to mark these special moments and cherish them with your loved ones.
