After you give birth to a child, you are in what is probably the deepest transformation process of your whole life! Be gentle with yourself - it takes love and patience to move through this time. Eliminate all stress factors: events, work, household stuff - even family members! And only have people around you, who let you be where you are and express what you need, and who know what it's like to become a mother. People who can let you be messy - because all deep change brings a little messiness.
