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.
For moms today, it can seem like the pressure to be perfect is never-ending. But when you’re juggling parenthood and lots of other commitments, it might feel like you’re never living up to these impossible standards.
