You Are Important Too

Self‑care is not selfish; it is necessary.

Becoming a parent is beautiful, but it can also feel overwhelming and relentless. Caring for yourself is as important as caring for your little one.

Rest
Your body is healing. Even a short nap will help.

Ask for help
Lean on partners, friends, and family. You were never meant to do this alone.

Hydrate and nourish
Balanced meals and plenty of water support mood and recovery. Keep easy snacks within reach.

Move gently
A slow walk or light stretching can release tension and brighten your day. Movement is about feeling good, not about performance.

Claim quiet time
Five minutes with a book, a song or simple breathing can refill your cup.

Release perfection
Motherhood is not a test. Celebrate small victories. You are doing an amazing job.
