Episode 96: Adjusting to Motherhood: Anne’s Story, Part II
Episode 95: Identity Shift without Identity Crisis in Motherhood: Anne’s Story, Part I
Episode 94: Life Lessons Learned in Pregnancy & Birth: Molly’s Story, Part II
Conceiving, being pregnant, giving birth and then learning to be someone’s parent by immediately being responsible for the survival of a new being are all challenging experiences that contain within them, possibilities to grow.
Today I finish my conversation with Molly. In this episode, she compares her expectations at the birth with her experience and learns that the expectations she had about the first encounter with her baby after birth is built on a false narrative. She also shares her process for increasing milk production when she was breastfeeding and some useful tips for that process, and she shares the important lessons she learned from the 10 year runway that preceded the birth of her son.
