Are you worrying a lot about your newborns health? Let me know in the poll 👇🏼

‼️If you snapped at your kids lately, this one’s for you:

Before the guilt spiral starts — that moment doesn’t make you a bad mum. It makes you a human one.

Losing it isn’t a character flaw. It’s information. It’s your nervous system telling you that what you’re carrying right now is more than one person should have to carry alone.

When you compare yourself to the mums who never seem to lose it - it may not be that they’re more patient than you. It may be that they have more support, more rest, or fewer fires to put out.

Your capacity isn’t broken. It’s just full.
And full looks different on different days — different seasons, different circumstances. Some days you’ll handle everything with grace. Other days, grace isn’t available because you’re running on empty.

So instead of asking “what’s wrong with me?” — try asking “what do I need right now?”

🙋🏽‍♀️I’m Laura, a Therapist for New Mum’s. Come follow me if you’re fed up of feeling like you’re getting motherhood all wrong. Let me nurture you while you learn to nurture yourself 🫶🏽

That moment you lost your temper with your kids?

It probably happened because you had an unmet need. Full stop.

But here’s what most mums don’t realise…
When we beat ourselves up for it, we actually make it more likely to happen again. 💔

Because self-criticism shrinks your capacity to cope. And a smaller capacity to cope means you’re running on empty — which is exactly when those big reactions happen.

But when you meet yourself with grace and compassion after a hard moment?

You widen that capacity. You build more resilience. You become less likely to repeat it.

So the kindest thing you can do for your children is actually to be kind to yourself first.

Not perfect. Not self-punishing. Just… compassionate.

You’re not a bad mum for struggling. You’re a human being with unmet needs, doing the hardest job in the world. 🫶🏽
