Postpartum emotions are real, valid, and often way more intense than anyone prepares you for — and winter can make everything feel even heavier. If you found yourself putting a finger down during this reel, you’re not alone. So many new parents experience emotional changes, overwhelm, and mood shifts in those early weeks. No matter how you’re feeling right now, you deserve care and compassion — not silence or shame. And you never have to navigate postpartum alone. 🤍 If this resonates, share it with another winter mom who might need to feel seen today.
