While I'm familiar with this concept from my studies, I have a renewed perspective on the joys and thorns of motherhood. A lot of people especially on the Internet blabber on about what pregnancy is like and even diss some mothers, comparing them to others. What we all must keep in mind is that pregnancy has very different effects on different women. There are ideal practices for a safe delivery, but many times, there's a lot of unpredictability. We should all be ready for whatever comes.

Thanks for this. I hope your friend has recovered fully and is experiencing the joys of motherhood.

Happy new year! 🌻
