Holding space

April 2, 2019April 23, 2019Leave a comment

We doulas talk a lot about holding space for our clients, may it be in labour childbirth or even postpartum. But what does it mean to hold space for someone?

I came across this beautiful quote in one of my mom groups and thought more mothers need to see it 🤱 Since I had my own daughter 2,5 years ago I struggled with my own body image 🚶‍♀️ I didn’t like the stretch marks, I put on extra weight and my belly is just floppy and squishy. In total I gained two sizes (from wearing size small to wearing size large) and every time I needed to go shopping for clothes I got reminded of just that, this is the biggest I’ve ever been. Trying to find the time to hit the gym was almost none existing and if I did I struggled with issues on my pelvic floor. I pretty much urinated and wetted myself every time I wanted to start running again (my favourite cardio activity)🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ Just now I slowly start loosing weight again and slowly feeling more confident and happy in my body. Instead of running I walk. I hated my newly and unknown body. The body of a mother. But there is one thing I learned and remind myself of - I carried my baby girl this body 🤰She was created in this body and she grew inside of me. My body shows the signs of it and I should love it for the way it is because how can I hate a body that created this magic? A body that created the human I love most in the world 🌎 It took me close to three years to start loving my body again. To feel comfortable in it. Becoming a mother is a huge change. Mentally and physically. We need to support each other and remind ourselves of the beauty in this major and life changing adjustment. 🤱 We need to prepare women of this journey, the good, the bad and the ugly and share our stories 😘 #bodyimage #motherhoodbody #body #postpartum #struggle #motherhood #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #newborn #baby #childbirth #magic #pregnancy #whitehorsemom #yukonmom #doula #womb #educator #empower #maternalmentalhealth #motherscompaniondoulaservices #creatinglife #rawmotherhood #dancingoflife #confidence #postpartumbody #loveyourbody #selflove
