Do you every worry about losing yourself after you have childern?

Question

Im scaried of losing myself after i have my first child. I'm afraid that everything will revolve around him and what makes me, me will be gone. Do you every think about this?

Answer

Yes and no. Having your child is apart of what makes you, you. You're just continuing that on in your baby. Things change after children,of course. Trust me though.. those worries melt away once the child is born. You'll forget you even said this.

Answer

Sometimes, but I knew I wanted to be a mom. I didn’t do much that wasn’t family friendly before having a baby, so I didn’t feel like I was giving up much.

Answer

I’ve been very lucky to have friends that are accepting of adjusted activities that include my little girl. Yes, we still go out to dinner and have late night game nights, but that usually means our 1 year old is there with us. There’s a balance to find. You’ve got to do what works for you.

Answer

Not everything has to change! My parents still traveled and had dates and have interests us kids didn’t. I always thought I didn’t want kids until I learned from them that giving birth doesn’t mean you are only “mom” now. You also get to be mom but it isn’t the end, just a beginning :) I’m a mom but still a professional, an animal rescuer, an artist, a wife, a hiker, etc. when baby is born I might spend more time taking care of her, but the other stuff is still very important to my mental health.
Time and finance management are the keys, according to my parents.

Answer

It bothered me more when I had my first baby because it was such a huge change. Now I'm expecting my 4th and yep pretty much everything revolves around my kids. But I also realized that it's temporary. When they get older and independent and back to school, they will need me less and then I want to go back to work, have hobbies etc. I mean I don't let myself be a complete dump lol but yeah I'm pretty much in mommy mode at this stage in my life.

Answer

It’s not that I “don’t want to be *just* a mom” (ugh how misogynistic) it’s that I don’t want to be one of those bitter, stressed “selfless” moms. I want to be a better version of my ~maiden~ self.

Answer

It’s never come to me as something to worry about 🤷🏼‍♀️🤰🏼

Answer

You won’t have I it any other way when your baby is here ❤️

Answer

It will. Everything will change, you will have responsibilities and the child will always come first.

Answer

Totally normal to feel that way. Especially, if you unfortunately end up with postpartum depression but being becoming a mom is the toughest and biggest role to ever take. You just gotta find time for certain things but not try to be perfect. You'll learn along the way.
