Trust Your Gut

There are so many “how to” books about parenting that it is no wonder that sometimes new moms feel inadequate and worry if they are making the right decisions on how to care for their bundles of joy. After my first baby was born my mom stayed with me for a week to help out. When she drove out of the driveway to return home I was overwhelmed with emotions. (Darn those raging hormones!!) Would I know what to do when the baby wouldn’t stop crying? Could I do this on my own? But like most mothers I didn’t have a choice. I had to trust my gut. And, to my amazement, that’s all I needed. Just like it did for me your “mommy gut” will whisper to you what you need to do. Just be sure to listen. Trust your gut and you’ll be fine!
