Postpartum Support: Why No Mom Should Go It Alone

Motherhood is beautiful, but let’s be real—it’s also the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

Both of my boys are IVF babies. I went through four full rounds of IVF to bring them into this world. I remember the exact day I thought, “I need to see a fertility doctor.” I picked up the phone, made the appointment, and stepped into a season of endless waiting rooms, hormone shots, bloodwork, and financial stress. It was exhausting. It was expensive. And it was absolutely worth it—because I wanted my babies more than anything.

But once they arrived, another reality set in.

I thought I’d be that mom who glowed during pregnancy, who adjusted to motherhood like it was the most natural thing in the world. I pictured myself breezing through sleepless nights, thriving through every milestone.

Boy, oh boy—reality had other plans.

The hormone shifts. The recovery. The no-sleep adjustment. It hit me like a brick wall. And I’ll be the first to say it: I relied on my mom. She was my lifeline when I didn’t have the strength to do it all alone.

The Truth We Don’t Talk About Enough

If you’re one of those moms who says, “It was the easiest thing ever,” I am truly, genuinely happy for you. Truly. But you can also come hang out with my 1.5-year-old who hasn’t slept in 1.5 years.

For the rest of us—the ones who are still navigating exhaustion, who feel guilty for not “enjoying every moment,” who are wondering when life will ever feel normal again—please know this: you are not failing. You are not broken. You are not alone.

You Need a Village—and That’s Okay

There’s a reason people say it takes a village. The postpartum season isn’t meant to be done solo. Yet so many moms are left with this crushing expectation to “do it all.”

At TriLuxe Health, we created our postpartum support services to be that extra set of hands, that safe place to lean, that reassurance that you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

✨ Registered Nurse Support – Emergency room nurses who can care for your baby, guide you through feeding, or simply give you a chance to sleep.

✨ Supportive Care Team – Compassionate, medically experienced helpers for daily support, baby care, or just being there when you need someone.

✨ Flexible Visits – A few hours, an overnight, or ongoing help—we’ll meet you where you are.

✨ The Gift of Rest – Perfect for new moms, because sometimes the best gift isn’t another outfit or blanket—it’s a night of sleep.

Moms, We See You

If you’re in that messy, beautiful, exhausting season of postpartum, let me tell you this: you’re not supposed to do it all. You’re supposed to be supported.

I leaned on my mom. And if you don’t have someone to lean on—or even if you do but need more help—let TriLuxe be part of your village.
