After giving birth, I felt detached from myself and knew I needed to make changes. Giving birth became the fuel I needed to start hormone replacement therapy finally. As my bump grew and I began to receive the excited swell of compliments, I drifted farther from myself. But 10 weeks postpartum, I began to notice I was entirely detached from my body. Transitioning postpartum has not only been a way of choosing myself, but showing up authentically makes me the parent my son needs.
