Motherhood: How Has Motherhood Transformed You As A Woman? (2)
Hello Great Mothers!
Motherhood brings out a new person from within a woman. It unveils unique characteristics and qualities that a woman may not know she possesses in her. It brings out a more emotionally tough and strong person.
It transforms a woman into someone who is both nurturing and unwavering. Motherhood reveals previously unseen qualities of compassion, understanding, and love, as well as instilling strength and resolve.
Motherhood molds us and transforms us into a disciplined, firm, but adaptable woman capable of managing the ever-changing needs of family life.
As discussed in my previous article, motherhood transforms every aspect of a woman’s life. The different ways motherhood impacts a woman’s life are;
Physical Changes
There is a significant transformation of a woman’s body resulting from pregnancy and childbirth. You may see yourself gaining weight and a change in skin texture and pigmentation.
The muscle of the abdomen is stretched to accommodate the growing baby. For some women, the muscles of the nose and mouth are also enlarged, and the legs become big.
After childbirth, the nose and mouth will return to their normal size, while the stomach may not fully return to its initial size.
Hormonal Shifts.
Hormonal changes occur during the period of pregnancy and lactation. These changes can have long-term effects on a woman’s body. It alters the metabolism of a woman’s body, including mood.
Motherhood brings about different kinds of feelings in a woman which may be difficult to pinpoint. These emotions may originate from our pride in our children’s achievements, tiredness from everyday activities, or anxiety from sleepless nights. Some women may suffer emotional upheavals that lead to postpartum mood disorders such as melancholy or anxiety, which necessitate support and, in some cases, medical treatment.
Motherhood is a precious gift, so cherish it, embrace it, and nurture it with joy to experience its abundant rewards.
Did you or a woman you know experience emotional turmoil as a result of motherhood? Please share how it was handled.
Bye!
