Before we move on to postpartum psychology, let's take a look at the meaning of the word. The word postpartum is one of the most used words in our language. Postpartum passed into Turkish from the Greek language. According to TDK, the meaning of the word puerperal is as follows: it means a woman who has just given birth. Postpartum period is also referred to as "motherhood sadness" in the literature. It is a rough period. Sometimes it also includes a grieving process. Transitioning to a new life means leaving the old behind. Sometimes puerperium is a loss of meaning. In all these processes, the body tries to repair itself, the hormones dance.
It is not easy to raise a baby inside and first break up with him and then reunite with him. Birth is actually an experience of separation. In order to bring out what you have grown inside, you must first separate it from the inside. As separations are necessary to reunite..
Where there is separation, there is always sadness. Even if birth is a reunion, it is a process where the mother leaves the pregnancy, separates from the baby she carries, leaves her old life, leaves her routines. Every woman's reaction to this separation adventure will be different. For this reason, it is very important to embrace the sadness of the new mother and to open up space to understand her feelings.
Especially in our culture, the postpartum woman is not left alone, there are many people around her at home to support her. "Privacy" is vital for the mother trying to adapt to her new life around here. We need to consider his privacy in every area. It is important to stay away from many things, even if it is good for us, without her approval and without asking her consent.
Most steps taken to support the postpartum may actually be challenging for the new mother. For this reason, it is necessary to think long and hard about many things.
The most important support we can provide to a postpartum woman is to make her work easier, not to look after the baby. Doing daily chores, preparing meals, maybe tidying the house. We should keep it to ourselves. Every comment we make about the baby, good or bad, can be hurtful to the new mother.
Dear Parent
Are we enough? Every time you think, know that what matters to a child is “unconditional love”.
How should I behave? Every time you think, remember you were once a child.
How will I know? Trust the information in your body every minute you think.
You have the information you need. Remember that you have already crossed the road to have a child today, and even crossed that path as a child.
Remember your own wounds, your own past. The real info is there. Remember how you want to be loved, what you need. First, you see the child in your past, know and remember that what you have grown in your body will be healed today.
Prepare to love unconditionally. Prepare to love a living being with compassion, warmth, and acceptance, today and in the future. Think about it with desire, wondering who it will be, wondering what it will like and dislike. Don't design... Don't design it for yourself. Just desire. This desire and curiosity will pass from her body to her baby. Fill your heart with your love for him. Knowing this love will come to you. Please invest in your body. Every healthy investment you make in your body will be healing for your baby. And ask him. Be sure to ask her what she wants, what kind of birth she wants. This is his birthday, this will be his birthday..
