TW: child loss, stillbirth. 4 months down, forever to go. This episode covers: partner leave and transitions, four month sleep situations, using play to support older siblings who now have to share mum, successful mini-holidays and gig with a baby, the circle of life on the farm, forgetting ourselves and our train of thought, the anxiety that shadows some of your second experience after a high needs first baby, those moments your heart is aching with the beauty of it all, the frustration and minuscule fragments of alone time you get with multiple tiny children, parenting through injury, our physical health/strength needs in postpartum, my own rehab process with the Empowered Motherhood Program (not sponsored), what’s coming in season 7, and more things that I’ve probably forgotten because I spoke for ages! Thanks for being my Dear Diary, listener. Much love to all of you in the mothering trenches, would love to hear your experiences and reflections via DM @annacusackpostpartum Would also love if you could leave a 5 star rating or review, listen to my book (scroll back to season 2) or buy the paperback from www.annacusack.com.au/book.
