Having a support system in place - whether it's family members, friends or even professional help - is invaluable for your own mental upkeep. It's impossible to be 'on' 24/7 without some help and checking in with someone you can trust can help ease the mental burden.

I make it a point to connect with other moms, especially those who've been through the early stages, to keep myself grounded and not feel alone!
