Motherhood is undoubtedly one of the most sacred and fulfilling journeys a woman can take. However, it is unfortunate that many women are not adequately prepared or supported emotionally, socially, and mentally during the transition into motherhood. The experience of giving birth can be quite daunting, especially during the first three months when sleep deprivation, worry, and pain are overwhelming. It is crucial to acknowledge that the postpartum period is a critical time for both the baby and the mother. When a baby is born, the mother is also born, and it is unfortunate that most women are forgotten in this time of need. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that both the baby and mother receive lots of love and care at all times.
