Marie, I had my baby three weeks ago, and still feel incompetence in managing the arrival of a baby in our life. I was wondering if it’s normal that I think this way? Thanks for all your support, it helps reassure me!

Thanks!

Roxanne

Of course, you are normal, Roxanne! When you start a new job, one you had never done before, do you feel very competent after only the first couple of weeks? I don’t think so…so it’s the same when you are a new parent. You have to learn, and it requires time and adaptation based on your own personal experiences.

When I did my master’s thesis at university, I studied the needs of mothers after giving birth to their first child in the maternity ward, and those manifested a week later in the home. Please read The Needs of New Mothers, which talks about the physical, psychological and support needs expressed by mothers I interviewed. You will see that you are feeling the same way as many mothers do.
