My confidence is shattered after giving birth; how do I rebuild it?

Loss of confidence after delivery is one of the most common and least discussed changes mothers experience. It's completely normal for you to feel this way.
The first step in rebuilding confidence is to stop comparing your "old self" with your "new self." Your body, sleep, priorities, and daily rhythm have undergone fundamental change — not being able to do everything with your old fluidity is not incompetence; it's simply being human.
A small, concrete starting point: once a day, tell yourself "today I did one good thing for my baby." This could be something as simple as holding them properly. Noticing this rebuilds the feeling of competence.
If this deep loss of confidence lasts more than 2–3 weeks, or if you feel constantly inadequate or emotionally distant from your baby, this might be postpartum depression. Talking to a gynecologist or psychologist is the best gift you can give yourself.
