The guilt of newborns is immense.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A baby comes with such responsibility. Once you become a mother, you always have a guilt trip. You always try to do the best, but you feel you can always be better.
Motherhood has been an exercise in guilt.
There are unwanted emotions and pain that goes along with any birth.
When you've lost a baby, everyone around you expects you to be fine once the new baby is born, as though that somehow takes away the pain of losing the first child. I needed to express how wrong that was.
It is high time to declare an end to the breastfeeding dictatorship that is drowning women in guilt and worry just when they most need support: after the birth of a child.
Our standards for motherhood are so high that many of us harbor intense, secret guilt for every harsh word we speak to our children, every negative thought that enters our minds.
Prevention of birth is a precipitation of murder.
It is the nature of babies to be in bliss.
Isn't it true that the fault of birth rests somewhat on the child? I believe it's we who led our parents on to bear us, and it's our unborn children who make our flesh itch.
To give birth is a fearsome thing; there is no hating the child one has borne even when injured by it.
