Renewed Alaap: Part 2 on Parenthood

This month's topic: Motherhood challenges and maternal mental health In this month's ALAAP episode, we discuss challenges of motherhood, pregnancy, and maternal mental health. One of our moderators, Naziat, is a mother and discusses her own experiences of being a mother, the criticisms, the tough expectations and much more. We hope that this conversation helps listeners who are mothers - or will be future mothers - or are thinking of being one - become aware that you are not alone in the struggles or expectations from third parties. We discuss resources that may help show that parenthood has its difficulties but again that you’re not alone! It’s important to validate and fight for what you need and want as a parent, especially as a mother.
