#Repost @serenawilliams with @get_repost. Yes to more honest discourse on motherhood and maternal health from role models like @serenawilliams who in speaking truthfully about the heart-tugs and mum-guilt normalises a million woman’s worries, and the pressures we face as mothers. Every one of us. I’m on @bbcbreakfast tomorrow morning (Wednesday) at 7.40am discussing maternal health my #mumboss life (speaking of which, I’ve got my son Oliver with me and we’ve just met up with my Mum who’ll be coming to the studio too). Hope you can tune in and also join the discussion online. We need to keep the conversation going so we can all feel less isolated and greater supported. Superstar tennis player or not, we’re all vulnerable human beings, women who need to process the ups and downs of parenting and juggling work with kids. ・・・ Last week was not easy for me. Not only was I accepting some tough personal stuff, but I just was in a funk. Mostly, I felt like I was not a good mom. I read several articles that said postpartum emotions can last up to 3 years if not dealt with. I like communication best. Talking things through with my mom, my sisters, my friends let me know that my feelings are totally normal. It’s totally normal to feel like I’m not doing enough for my baby. We have all been there. I work a lot, I train, and I’m trying to be the best athlete I can be. However, that means although I have been with her every day of her life, I’m not around as much as I would like to be. Most of you moms deal with the same thing. Whether stay-at-home or working, finding that balance with kids is a true art. You are the true heroes. I’m here to say: if you are having a rough day or week--it’s ok--I am, too!!! There’s always tomm. #pbloggersuk #mumswithcamera #mumbloggers #family #oureverydaymoments #igkidsclub #letthembelittle #cutekidsclub #kidsofinstagram #mommyblogger #childhoodunplugged #capturingchildood #uniteinmotherhood #myhappycapture #rememberingthesedays #dailyparenting #momswithcameras #littlefierceones #lifecloseup #magicofchildhood #igmoms #littlestoriesofmylife #candidchildhood #worldoflittles #ukparentbloggers #motherhood #motherhoodunplugged #motherland (at Manchester, United Kingdom)
