#BLPinspire 🙏🏾 Send this to a MaMa who needs to see it ♥️ @shaynicole.xo writes: I often speak of the 4th trimester, because we have been conditioned to think there's only 3. But the 4th is a mother's recovery stage, which unfortunately isn't talked about enough.😞 While a lot of our generation has mad strides in offering support, society still has such a long way to go! The fact that there are countless appointments during your pregnancy, and only ONE postpartum 6 week check up on the mother is insane if you really think about it.🥴 So whether you plan to become pregnant in the future, are on your first, or even 4th pregnancy...please remember to go easy on yourself. I cannot stress the importance of giving yourself GRACE enough. Your body will perform a whole miracle, by bringing a child into the world. You will develop a new strength you didn't know you had, but that doesn't mean you gotta be strong all the time!🙅🏽‍♀️ Lean on your village. Be vocal about your true feelings. Ask for help when you can. And most importantly, take it one day at a time. 💜 I could go on and on, but I think it's way more valuable to hear from different voices. Let us know how you got through your 4th trimester, or how you're currently doing👂🏽👇🏽
