The New York Times had an article in the magazine this week that needs to be shared and talked about more. In it, the author shares the stories of women who struggle with depression during pregnancy. Too often in our culture we fetishize and mythologize pregnancy and birth, not acknowledging the very real challenges that can arise. Some women sail through it all with ease, but for many of us it can be emotionally and physically draining, even damaging, in myriad ways. Here’s the link to the article. Read, share, and tell me what you thought about in on my facebook page.
