Pregnancy After Loss, Postpartum Anxiety & How To Persevere

Katy, the heart and mind behind Undefining Motherhood, a blog bringing to the forefront topics that we used to otherwise consider taboo.  When asked why she chose “Undefining” in lieu of “Redefining”, this was her response:

“Because motherhood is a role that’s been defined for far too many centuries,” I say. “And often not even by mothers themselves. It’s been prescribed and defined and changed and redefined so much that I don’t understand how anyone can feel authentic in their experience of it anymore. Not to co-opt another movement that’s happening right now, but time’s up. It’s time to learn to do this authentically, not according to prescription. For years, I’ve studied the history and theory of how motherhood has been defined, prescribed, turned into an institution with a set of rules. And I’m sick of it. It’s time to put that knowledge into action.”
