Becoming a mother today feels more challenging than it has ever been. Yet, the narrative that goes along with this transition remains the same – being pregnant and having a baby is “wonderful” and “blissful” and “the best thing that will ever happen to you.” These messages that are seen all over social media, create a waterfall of “shoulds” and “supposed to’s” that cause many women to feel guilty, ashamed, and like a failure when they experience anything less. The real truth is – motherhood is messy. There are some good parts but also lots of overwhelming, frustrating, anxious, and sad parts too. At The Motherhood Center – we make space for it all.
