Mom guilt is a common feeling experienced by many mothers. It can arise for various reasons, such as feeling like you're not doing enough for your child or feeling like you're not giving them enough attention. Here are some tips that can help you overcome mom guilt:Talk about roles, responsibilities, and expectations with your partner from the start (pregnancy).Recognize that it's normal: It's important to realize that mom guilt is a normal feeling that many mothers experience. You're not alone in this, and it's okay to feel this way.Be kind to yourself: Don't be too hard on yourself. Remember that you're doing your best, and that's all that matters. Give yourself credit for the things you are doing right.Prioritize self-care: Taking care of yourself is just as important as taking care of your child. Make sure to take some time for yourself each day, whether it's to exercise, read a book, or take a relaxing bath.Talk to other moms: Talking to other moms who are going through similar experiences can help you feel less alone. You can also get some helpful tips and advice from other moms.
