How to Manage as a New Mom

People celebrate becoming a new mom, but they never talk about how much it alters who you are, what you do, and how you feel.

The post discusses the guilt you might feel over missing elements of your "old life," the pressure to be the perfect mom, and the sudden lack of free time.

If things get too hard, our therapists know how to help you manage these sorts of big life changes.
