How Do I Take Care Of Myself?

Mom's Feelings

Taking care of yourself is just as important as taking care of me.

Why Am I Tired All The Time?

• It’s normal to be tired because you have a lot of new demands on you.
  
  
• Catch up on your sleep by napping when I sleep.
  
  
• Relax and enjoy your time with me when I am awake.
  
  
• Do not try to do too much.

Will I Be A Good Mother?

• Every good mom had to start out just like you.
  
  
• It takes time to learn what I am trying to tell you.
  
  
• If you have any questions, call someone you trust for support.
  
  
• Join a support group; contact your Family Resource Centre.

Is My Body Ever Going To Return To Its Normal Shape?

• Yes! Just make sure you eat healthy and exercise regularly.
  
  
• Give your body time for the natural healing process to happen.
