“I was never quite sure what all these critics thought I was supposed to be doing—a Bob Dylan impression? I was a teenage girl from the South. I signed my name with a heart. I liked looking cute. Why did everyone treat me, even when I was a teenager, like I was dangerous?”
Britney Spears, The Woman in Me

“On ne « fait » pas une fausse couche, on la subit, on la traverse.”
Judith AQUIEN, Trois mois sous silence

“Malgré les chiffres faramineux – on parle a minima de 200 000 grossesses précocement arrêtées chaque année en France 3 –, le tabou constitué par cet événement, dans l’absence manifeste de récit social collectif, suscite une solitude extrême à un moment où le corps et la psyché des femmes enceintes sont soumis, brutalement, à un deuil, à un changement de paradigme et de projection intégral. On pensait donner la vie, la porter, être dans un temps absolument métaphysique et heureux de l’existence et de la transmission, et l’on se retrouve dans le deuil de ce projet de maternité, d’un coup. On sentait son corps changer et réagir, les seins grossir, les entrailles se réorganiser complètement et, d’un coup, les seins dégonflent, on ne sent plus rien. La fausse couche est l’expérience du vide, de la fin, d’un abysse d’autant plus indescriptible qu’il n’est jamais décrit, qu’aucun discours ne lui donne corps.”
Judith AQUIEN, Trois mois sous silence

“There have been so many times when I was scared to speak up because I was afraid somebody would think I was crazy. But I’ve learned that lesson now, the hard way. You have to speak the thing that you’re feeling, even if it scares you. You have to tell your story. You have to raise your voice.”
Britney Spears, The Woman in Me

“Unfortunately, there wasn’t the same conversation about mental health back then that there is now. I hope any new mothers reading this who are having a hard time will get help early and will channel their feelings into something more healing than white marble floors. Because I now know that I was displaying just about every symptom of perinatal depression: sadness, anxiety, fatigue. Once the babies were born, I added on my confusion and obsession about the babies’ safety, which was ratcheting up the more media attention was on us. Being a new mom is challenging enough without trying to do everything under a microscope.”
Britney Spears, The Woman in Me
