Not medical advice. For emergencies, call your local emergency number.

While there’s no magic solution, remember that this intense period, though challenging, is a testament to your dedication. Take small moments for yourself when you can, lean on any support system you have, and know that every day is a step forward. This phase, while exhausting, will eventually pass, and your efforts are building a strong foundation for your family. You’ve got this!
