Experience with postpartum rage as a mom of 6 

I am not a doctor so I can’t give any medical advice about PPD, PPA or PPR but I can tell you, I have been there and I absolutely PROMISE there is a light coming!!

I absolutely PROMISE it gets better.

I promise you will bond with your child so deep one day. I promise that while it is so hard, it is going to be a small time in your life compared to the lifetime you will have being a mom. 👩‍🍼

I don’t like to shy away from the real and hard stuff but I also want you to know that motherhood is ABSOLUTELY filled with the rainbows and butterflies stuff too! 💕

Some moms have an incredible postpartum experience. We each have our own journeys so please do not think this is a one size fits all experience ❤️

While some postpartum rage can be induced by environmental factors, such as lack of support, in my experience it wasn’t that. My husband and family gave me so much support. I think that’s why it scared me. I felt I had “nothing to be upset about.” I had a healthy baby, delivery, we had food in the fridge, a roof over our heads, support, breastfeeding was successtul (however the sleep deprivation was a BEAST 🤪) So for me to get like The Hulk out of nowhere really worried me.

It was an incredible relief once I found out it wasn’t just me. I shared my research with my husband and this began our journey on BOTH of us understanding more about the 4th trimester which in turn made us more compassionate and understanding towards one another during the harder days.

I will say the more kids I have the easier it has gotten for me. By baby # 4 we got use to the baby, toddler stage and had systems in place that kept a rhythm in our house. I also had a much better idea of what to expect and was able to adjust faster.

Did you experience postpartum rage? Was it comforting to find out you weren’t alone?
