Pinusuan ng Magandang Buhay host na si Momshie Jolina Magdangal ang inilabas na saloobin ni Rachelle Ann Go pagkatapos isilang ang firstborn niyang si Lukas sa London.
Tila dumadaan sa tinatawag na post-partum syndrome si Rachelle (o baka sadyang nanganganay lang dahil first time niyang naranasan ang magsilang ng sanggol?) based sa mahabang caption na inilagay niya sa kanyang Instagram post kahapon.
Ipinost ni Rachelle ang black and white photo ng foreigner hubby niya na si Martin Spies habang nakatalikod na naglalakad karga si Lukas at iba pa nilang gamit ni Rachelle noong lumabas ng ospital two weeks ago.
"Love this photo so much," bungad ng caption ni Rachelle.
"We got discharged after spending 3 nights there. They had to monitor Lukas and give him antibiotics... Martin can only visit us during the day because of COVID restrictions.
"I didn’t sleep at all! I didn’t know how to carry Lukas out of his cot. I contemplated for probably half an hour, tried to maneuver him out, I failed. I called Martin & my mom to ask how, lol, then eventually asked for the midwife’s help. I changed his nappies and clothes while sweating profusely because I was too nervous. I stared at the window blankly (in short tulaley haha!) because of zero sleep."
Isinisi niya ang kanyang pag-iyak sa kanyang "hormones."
"I cried because of my hormones (I guess—ang daming emotions), especially when Lukas was choking! I started breastfeeding him (no idea what I was doing) but because his glucose level that time was really low, they had to give him a formula milk. He choked while I was feeding him and turned blue."
Nataranta raw siya at nagsimulang umiyak.
"Whew! I was like 'Lord, how?! I need help!!!' Then I realized that nurses and midwives are there to guide us, for some reason I didn’t ask for any help. I guess I was too shy to ask.
"The next day I washed my face, put some lip balm on, brushed my hair and maybe a bit of brows too and told myself, there has to be a purpose why we are still here!
"2nd day, I felt great and it kept getting better until we got discharged!
"I had a tough time but I learned so much in the span of 3 days. I’m so grateful I went through it and figured things out myself. It just shows that even if it’s our first time, we have those motherly instincts that kick in. We are made to do this. So do not doubt nor fear. Now I feel like everything else is easy (huwow!) Grabe ang grace ni Lord," paglalahad pa ni Rachelle.
At sa huli, nanawagan si Rachelle sa iba pang first-time moms na gaya niya, "To all the first time mamas, if you need help, be honest with yourself! Do not be scared or embarrassed to ask for it!"
True!
