SHAMED WHILE PREGNANT! 🥺😭
Pregnancy is an exciting thing and my excitement becoming a mother and having a family will always supersede my worries/fears of the unknown... but recently, I’ve experienced the oppression of MOTHERHOOD IN A WAY I NEVER IMAGINED. ☹️ The source of the oppression comes from other women in forms of unsolicited judgment, criticism and shaming of decisions related to my pregnancy, delivery and plans for my baby. I’M NOT EVEN A MOTHER YET, but I never knew or heard of mom or pregnancy “shaming” until now and I still can’t believe THIS IS A THING LIKE... WHAT!
To be clear, I have no issue with and in fact welcome discussions or decisions of what others have done and why. I think it’s beneficial for women to share their experiences and feelings with each other during a time that often feels uncertain but also mysterious. 😐 But THE ISSUES COMES FROM those opinions and beliefs that are delivered with the sharp edge of JUDGEMENT. The message underlying these “opinions” is: “There is only ONE acceptable way to be pregnant, give birth, raise / parent your child etc and YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG. 😕 I’ve shared my experiences during pregnancy to some women and many of them have warned me that the judgement and criticism only get WORSE once the baby is born. 😳 I’m not surprised since I’ve witness it this much, but the truth of it makes me profoundly so sad.
I’m wondering WHY DOES this happen!? .....And is it possible that we together can collectively raise awareness to this topic and stop it... THOUGHTS!?
