Motherhood and Starting A Family
- Do you have anxiety around living up to your own, or your mother’s or others’ expectations of motherhood?
- Are you concerned about giving up work/taking a career break and what that will mean for you?
- Are you worried about how things may change; your body, your emotions, your relationship with your partner - how they will see you and how you will see yourself?
When you become pregnant or start a family, it is often a time full of excitement and delight about what lays ahead but at the same time anxieties may arise about this new journey into the unknown. And that is completely normal.
Ultimately you are beginning a new role and that can be daunting. It’s natural for fears and concerns to pop up as you navigate this new way of being and expand the dynamics of your existing family and how that will be shaped.
