My life looked so different one year ago. My life actually looked really different even 3 months ago. Change is inevitable and you really just need to acknowledge where youโre at, adapt, and continue to progress
Postpartum is the period after a pregnancy, many now say postpartum is forever. Postpartum blues, postpartum depression, and postpartum psychosis are all different levels of postpartum mood disorders. These terms are not to be used interchangeably.
โonce you compromise what you would say yes to, the further you go down that rabbit hole of doing those things, the more you leave yourself open and willing to do things you said you would never doโ โฆstay true to yourself & Godโs plan for your life.
Misogynists are crying about birthrates. Complaining that women value their own lives, goals, & ambitions as lawmakers in the US make being pregnant even more dangerous with abortion bans.
But let's not forget the US also has sky rocketing cost of childcare, no legally required maternity leave, not to mention the out of pocket cost just to give birth.
Women aren't to blame for plummeting birthrates, misogynists thinking women should always "take one for the team" are. Women do not owe misogynists or society babies.
