Today I chat with a mother of one named Mirjana.

Mirjana talks about the ambivalence of motherhood,

how she stepped into the role of mother despite not

previously feeling like a "maternal person".

She shares how having a straightforward pregnancy

does not always lead to a straightforward birth,

and the feelings of isolation after the honeymoon

period is over. When the hormonal shifts and sleep

deprivation really kick in and your partner has

returned to work.

We touch on the common and normal experience

of intrusive thoughts and mostly how important

it is to have some support measures in place for

when your baby arrives.
