From One Mom to a Mother: Poetry & Momisms: 1 (Jessica Urlichs: Early Motherhood Poetry & Prose Collection)

Product Information

However having had my first baby in May and finding Jessica Urlichs poetry circulating TikTok videos I was up at 3:00 in the morning feeding my baby to it was an easy purchase.

I really struggled with the monumental shift that becoming a mother can be, when I found Jessica's poetry I felt seen, heard, less alone and validated.

Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. Motherhood and parenthood in general is the most beautiful and challenging thing I've ever done and it was refreshing to relate so heavily to another so much and to know I'm not alone.I think I need some time to recover from the emotional hit before I pick up Urlichs' next collection! Becoming a new mom is so much more than anyone can prepare you for, but, these poems can be a guiding light in the dark. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. I’m not generally a huge fan of poetry and what I am, usually needs to rhyme, but this was wonderful. Jessica is also a best selling author of 'The Rainbow In My Heart', a children's picture book on emotions, with other books 'My Superpowers', and 'You Hung The Moon', a gift book for mother's.

It's not that I'm not a fan or dislike it, I enjoy reading poems when I come across them or when they're recommended. It felt like a “friend” I could turn to at 3am in the middle of a breakdown when no one else would understand. I would highly recommend this to anyone but especially parents and especially new parents who are in the thick of it.

This captivating book, featuring 55 soul-stirring poems and prose, is a heartfelt gift for mums-to-be, new mothers, and those navigating the initial years of parenthood. My baby is six months and five of those months we’ve been in lockdown, I’ve felt very cut off from friends, family and friendly smiles from other mums. Watching a video where 'Dear Husband' was read by radio hosts, straight away I knew I needed to have this book. Regardless of the frustrations to come, I will do my best to remember some of these words and remind myself of the honor I have of being my children’s safe place.
