When I became a mother, I lost my body – and realized it never belonged to me
The lack of autonomy I felt as a mother reiterated everything society taught me to believe about myself since I was a girl

When my daughter learned to walk, she began following me around our apartment – into the bathroom while I showered, studying my naked body; into the bedroom when I dressed, regarding my baggy underwear with curiosity.

Dr Amy Kavanagh was one of the first blind people I found online when I became blind and I learnt a lot from her. it’s been great to see her journey to becoming a mum and here she is raising awareness in Stylist magazine so brilliantly as always! | “I still encounter surprise and shock that I’m and a parent. I recently had a waitress ask with genuine confusion “is that your baby?” when I was in the middle of breastfeeding. I try to ignore these comments but find I do feel the weight of them on me, especially on those hard, exhausting days.”

A vision that I've always really liked; pretty, but in a cute and ever-so-slightly plump way, holding her little child on her lap — so enthusiastic, so sweet, so tender. Albert Edeldelt's "Queen Bianca".

My eight year old just picked up a medicine bottle from beside my bed, held it over my head, and started singing, 'It's raining meds, Hallelujah! It's raining meds, Amen!'

Oh, child of a chronically depressed mother, how I love you so ❤️ 🤣

When school starts back up, moms get less and have less time to exercise. Dads aren't affected as much.

It's exacerbating.

"Prior research has shown there is a gender gap in mental health, with women faring worse than men on measures such as anxiety and depression. Women are also four times as likely as men to be diagnosed with seasonal affective disorder, a type of depression that typically occurs in fall and winter."
