Powerful Quotes by Laura Varney
And then postpartum. It's like, how do I get back to what I used to be before I was pregnant? Which I'm here to tell you. It doesn't happen. You're not gonna go back to what you used to be? No, but that's okay.
There were times for sure… When I was like pregnant, and I'm like, ‘Oh, I'm pregnant during the pandemic, Oh, this sucks.’ But then it's also like, ‘Oh, but I'm also at home with my family who I love.’
Be in it. Stop thinking about like, what's going to happen later, and stressing about what's going to happen later so much.
