The Motherhood Myths series covers myths about conception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. All too often, when you start working towards growing your family, you hear unhelpful myths and expectations. Like that stress will stop you falling pregnant; that you’ll glow in pregnancy; that birth is either horribly painful, or the opposite- it’s not pain, just discomfort or tightenings you’ll feel in labour. These myths continue right through to postpartum, where you get told to ‘enjoy every minute’ – and far more.
This doesn’t make it easy on women and mothers. In fact, in can cause unnecessary stress.
The Motherhood Myths series is here to help with that. You’ll get the real facts and evidence, hear how other women have navigated these myths, along with practical steps and psychological skills to create a calmer, stress-free motherhood – starting from conception.
The Pregnancy Myths Guide and The Birth Myths Guide are out now.
