Mothers can have vastly different experiences giving birth. Many are not fully prepared for everything that will occur once they go into labor, or the lasting impact of the experience.
Today, parenting can feel relentless. On top of the typical demands of raising children, you’re constantly exposed to “picture-perfect” images of parenthood on social media.
When you’re dealing with body image insecurities, the warmer months can feel emotionally trying. You might be nervous about wearing a bathing suit in public.
Maybe you’ve been anxious lately, and everything seems to be stressful. Going to the grocery store, texting a friend, speaking up at work, attending social gatherings, or booking appointments can all worsen your anxiety.
