S1 | E3 | “No one told me it would be like this!” The Untold Mental Load of Motherhood with Umama Tr
Motherhood is a beautiful yet complex journey. It brings so much love and joy though it may also be overwhelming, but the sad truth is often times mothers are afraid of sharing the challenging parts. On this special Mother's Day episode, we look at how one's mental health is impacted by motherhood, from finding out that you're expecting, carrying the pregnancy and now when baby is finally here and you're just trying to keep them alive, and why it is important to speak up. One thing though is that no experience is exactly the same .
On this episode, we sit down with Umama Tribe, a community of young Kenyan mums who have been using their platform to show how motherhood can be similar yet different at the same, yet still beautiful. From becoming a first time mom while abroad with no friends or family around, to giving birth to a pre-term baby, to pregnancy after a loss and a crazy fourth trimester. These ladies share their journeys, the highs and lows, how their mindset changed over time and how they coped and adjusted to the changes throughout the journey.
This episode is not only for moms, but also mums-in-waiting, their partners, family and friends. Motherhood often comes with tonnes of advice, but with no tips on how to deal with the mental load. We hope that this episode will bring some sense of calm to a new mummy, and also teach us how to support and show up for mummies around us.
