It’s Not Just Physical, It’s Deeply Emotional
You’re also holding fear, identity shifts, mental overwhelm, and emotions you didn’t expect.
And most of what you’re told to prepare for?
Diaper bags, cribs, car seats.
No one tells you how to prepare for:
The anxiety before every appointment
The loss of your old self
The rollercoaster of emotions that don’t make sense
The pressure to be calm when everything feels unknown
This is your permission to prepare differently.
With intention. With care. With space for you.
Normalize what you’re feeling, without guilt
Reflect on emotional triggers so they don’t catch you off guard
Build a support system before you’re in crisis
Create a personalized self-care plan that actually fits into your life
Start setting boundaries and releasing the mental load of “doing it all”
You deserve more than just a birth plan.
You deserve emotional clarity, support, and tools to help you feel like yourself, even as everything changes.
