Do you think that social media has changed the way that we expect pregnancy to look? Either, either in good ways or bad ways.

I feel like, um, I actually feel like in the beginning I only saw pregnancy as, like, a lot of moms didn't talk about certain things.
25:15
I felt that it kind of looked like everyone was going through this wonderful time being a mother.

It's just like taking photos in the hospital after giving birth, and just, like, coming home and loving your children so much, and just having this, like, abundance of joy and happiness.
25:33
And I think it was a little, like, misleading, like, back in the day.
25:38
I feel as though now I'm really appreciative of all the mothers who have been opening up and coming out about like, it wasn't that great for me.
25:49
I had a really bad birth story, or I looked horrible and didn't wanna take photos in the hospital, or I didn't feel a connection with my child when my child was born.
27:12

And it's really, I think that, you know, I'm glad that people feel that comfort to be able to explain that it's not all rainbows and butterflies.
