Checking in with your feelings is important during the early phases of motherhood. You may be feeling all sorts of things, good and bad, sometimes all at once. These feelings can be confusing, but it's good to identify and acknowledge your emotions.
Pause and consider how you're feeling. Writing in a journal can help. If you're having trouble writing, even speaking into a recording app on your phone can help you express yourself.
