She’d built herself a dam
          	So she could hold her tears at bay
          	A wall of stubborn barricade
          	To keep the pain away
          	Her barriers were busyness
          	Distraction and denial
          	And ignoring and avoiding’s
          	How she coped for quite a while
          	But the trouble was, her dam
          	Left nowhere for her pain to go
          	So it sat behind her wall
          	With nothing left to do but grow
          	The tightening in her chest
          	Began constricting every breath
          	And to battle every painful thought
          	Took every ounce of strength
          	The lump inside her throat
          	Got slightly bigger every day
          	And before too long she found
          	She couldn’t blink her tears away
          	So the pressure kept on building
          	And the dam began to crack
          	And it soon became impossible
          	To hold the water back
          	So she let the dam burst open
          	And as she felt the water flow
          	She realised sometimes all we need
          	Is just to let go

Hold the mother, not the baby.⁣⁣
           ⁣⁣
          Because the baby’s being taken care of—⁣⁣
          fed, snuggled, and given all the love in the world—⁣⁣
          by not only the mother,⁣⁣
          but her partner, grandparents, siblings, cousins, and friends.⁣⁣
           ⁣⁣
          But the mother,⁣⁣
          may have gaps in her mind from lack of sleep,⁣⁣
          may be mechanical in her motions as she’s healing,⁣⁣
          may feel more like a mess than a mother,⁣⁣
          may be sitting in bed, crying, feeling overwhelmed in her body and life,⁣⁣
          may be full of mom guilt because in her mind, "she's not good enough,"⁣⁣
          and she’s bleeding, wincing in pain, swollen and emotional.⁣⁣
           ⁣⁣
          And the mother’s that baby's whole world and needs to be seen, so she doesn't disappear into that postpartum fog.⁣⁣
           ⁣⁣
          So, hold the mother, not the baby.⁣⁣
           ⁣⁣
          A mother agrees that her baby matters more.⁣⁣
          But she’s hurting, while she’s the person behind the baby,⁣⁣
          in the background, making it all happen:⁣⁣
          feeding her baby at all hours,⁣⁣
          snuggling her baby close to comfort newborn cries,⁣⁣
          and being that baby’s everything.⁣⁣
           ⁣⁣
          So, it’s the mother who needs your love.⁣⁣
           ⁣⁣
          And a mother will remember who held her up.⁣⁣
           ⁣⁣
          So instead of “I’m coming to see the baby,”⁣⁣
          try saying, “I’m coming to see you  meet the baby, too.”⁣⁣
          ⁣
          Because the mother needs to be held more.⁣⁣
          ⁣
