“What happened to me? Why does it feel like this? Why can’t I seem to get it together and be the mama I want to be? It’s not your fault. It’s ours. Society, the community we live in, has failed us. Failed to tell us that what we are feeling is real and legitimate. Failed to acknowledge our pain, our tears and the anxiety that keeps us awake at 3am, wondering how we’re ever going to manage it all. And failed to tell us that what we’re feeling is real. For success-driven, modern women, pregnancy is often the very first time we’ve had to accept that we are not totally in control of our own lives.”

“Matrescence is the emergence of a new identity—‘the mother’—while trying to comprehend what happened to the old identity—‘the woman’.”

“They get to the end of the day, exhausted and aching. They turn the TV on, numbing the pain with mindless entertainment. Or chocolate. Or wine. They know they should sleep—it’s what they ache for all day. But if they don’t use those night-time hours to do something even a little ‘adult-like’, they’ll go mad.”
