Dear Newborn Mum-to-be,
We all know that pregnancy is a miraculous journey. A messy, painful, stressful, long, agonising, unpredictable journey. You might be loving it, or you might be hating it. But it’s true what they say – it’s all worth it in the end.
My first baby challenged my limits. I was sick and in pain almost the entire 9 months, and ended up very unwell after his delivery. At the time I thought I could take my own newborn photos, but ultimately I was too sick to do it justice. I certainly didn’t feel like I was glowing and photo-ready in those first few weeks! But it is one of my biggest regrets. My first baby, my boy who made me a mother – how I wish I had lovely photos with him as a newborn.
I totally understand that bringing a new baby home, whether she’s your first or fifth, is an overwhelming time. You’re tired, maybe a little anxious, and sometimes the days and nights stretch on endlessly.
