Kapanlagi.com - As a mother, Chelsea Olivia certainly has various experiences from pregnancy to childbirth. Moreover, she now has two children and taking care of both of them presents its own challenges for a mother.

But luckily, Chelsea Olivia has a support system that really pays attention to her, namely her husband, Glenn Alinskie. However, not all mothers out there have a good support system like her.

Therefore, Chelsea also participates in voicing Share The Care, which is a global campaign about attention to mothers. Grace Devina, Marketing Leaders of Philips Indonesia, also stated that self care is very important for mothers.

"Philip avent as a global brand sees that 2 out of 3 mothers lack self care," said Grace Devina at the Share The Care Philips Avent event in Pondok Indah, South Jakarta, on Saturday (1/6).

"Mothers only have less than 1 hour of self care, for example, eating, bathing, or simply scrolling through social media. Mothers need self care, mothers deserve it," she added.

2. Support from the Husband is Also Important

In agreement with Grace, Chelsea Olivia believes that the most important support for a wife and mother is her husband. She also shared her experience giving birth to her second child, where at that moment, Glenn was the one who truly supported her.

"His support is the same as his husband's support. I was pregnant with Dante during the Covid pandemic. The stress level was off the charts. When I gave birth, there was no family beside me, only Glenn. He was amazing because he was always by my side," said Chelsea.

Therefore, Chelsea reminds that being a mother is not easy at all. For her, the role of the husband is crucial in becoming the main support system.

"It was really challenging. So what made me recover quickly was the attention from my husband," she concluded.
