One of the hardest parts about struggling in early motherhood is that so much of what you’re feeling can be explained away with…

“Well, you’ve just had a baby.”

Of course you’re tired.
Of course you’re overwhelmed.
Of course you cry sometimes.
Of course you miss parts of your old life.

And all of those things can be a completely normal part of adjusting to motherhood.

But that doesn’t mean we should normalise mums feeling worse and worse and calling it “just motherhood.”

Dr Peta from Held & Heard Health spoke to our mamas about looking beyond what you’re feeling and noticing what those feelings are doing.

Are they sticking around?
Are they getting stronger?
Are they making everyday life harder?
Are you starting to feel hopeless or disconnected?

Because there’s a whole lot of space between “motherhood is hard” and “I’m in crisis.”

And you’re allowed to reach for support anywhere in between. 🤎

A huge thank you to Dr Peta from Held and Heard Health for having this conversation with our mamas and helping make that line feel a little less blurry.

Maybe the question isn’t “Is it bad enough?”
Maybe it’s “Would I feel better with some support?”

August, you were a big one 🤎

Rooms full of mums. Babies passed around and loved on. Conversations that went way beyond the topic we were supposed to be talking about. New friendships quietly starting. Old ones getting stronger. Pregnant bellies, growing babies, guest speakers, lots of Franjos Kitchen , floor time, laughter and a whole lot of “me too.”

Sometimes I look through the camera roll at the end of a month and realise just how much life happens inside these little rooms.

Not the big, polished kind.

The ordinary, really good kind.

The kind where someone saves you a seat.
Where your baby is known by name.
Where you walk in not knowing anyone and, somewhere along the way, they become your people.

A little August dump from our village 🥹🤎

Motherhood really is better together.

We’re very big fans of the “oh you’re new? Come sit here” kind of women 🤎

The ones who shuffle over.
Pull someone into the conversation.
Add the new mum to the group chat.
Notice when someone’s standing on their own.
Say “come with us” without making it a big thing.

Because nobody should have to earn their way into the village.

And there’s no maximum capacity on friendship.

More mums to message when the baby will. not. sleep.
More people to celebrate the tiny wins with.
More babies growing up surrounded by people who love their mum.

More “me too.”
More “I’ve got you.”
More chairs pulled into the circle.

That’s the kind of village we want.

Make the circle bigger. It’s better that way 🤎

Of course mums should be able to ask for help.

But I think we need to stop pretending that’s the whole answer.

Because asking for help requires you to have someone to ask.

It requires relationships where you feel safe enough to say, “I’m actually not doing great.”

It requires people who notice when you’ve gone quiet. People who check in without waiting to be asked. People who know you well enough to see when you could use an extra pair of hands, a walk, a cup of tea or just another adult sitting beside you.

We tell mothers to “reach out” all the time.

But maybe we should be putting just as much energy into making sure there’s actually someone on the other side to reach back.

That’s why community matters.

Not just when motherhood gets really hard.

Before it does. 🤎

We’ve never had more information about how to mother.

There’s an expert for everything. An account to follow. A podcast to listen to. A Google search for every 2am question.

And yet somehow, motherhood can still feel incredibly lonely.

Maybe the thing we’re missing isn’t more information.

Maybe it’s someone to sit beside us while our babies roll around on the floor.

Someone who notices when we’ve had a rough week.

Someone we can message without explaining the whole backstory.

Someone who says “mine does that too” and instantly makes everything feel a little lighter.

Advice has its place. Of course it does.

But I think sometimes what a mum really needs is to be surrounded by people who know her name, know her baby, and are walking through it alongside her.

More people. More connection. A bigger circle.

That’s the theory, anyway. 🤎

Okayyyyy… the baby SO many of you have been waiting for is finally here 🥹🤎

Welcome to the Raising Mamas village, Tallulah.

Over the past year, more than 360 mamas have walked into one of Chelsea’s groups and been welcomed, listened to, loved on and made to feel like they belonged.

And somewhere along the way, you all became pretty invested in Chelsea’s growing family too 😂

You watched her belly grow week by week, asked for baby updates and waited very patiently (or… not so patiently) to find out who would be joining Chelsea, Ryan and big sister Lainey.

And now… she’s HERE!

Beautiful little Tallulah has arrived, and we couldn’t be happier for the whole Lawrence family.

Chelsea has spent the past year holding space for hundreds of women as they found their feet in motherhood, and there’s something pretty special about watching that same village now wrap around her as she finds her feet as a mama of two.

And Lainey? Officially promoted to big sister 🥹 We have a feeling she’s going to take the role very seriously.

There are approximately 360 Raising Mamas aunties who are going to be VERY excited to meet this little lady 😂🤎

Welcome to the village, Tallulah. You were loved here long before you arrived.
