So I've been seeing this recent trend of pregnant women giving birth, going back to work or socialized events, and getting ridiculed for doing so. This has got to stop. There is no time limit for when a woman should get back to her life even though she is now a new mom. Pregnancy does not start at 8 or 9 months and then you give birth but instead takes 8 to 9 months to get your body, mind, and soul prepared for that new life that is being entered into the world. If a woman recently gives birth and her partner wants to take her out to a nice dinner, or her girlfriends wants to take her out to a concert to enjoy some music, or she wants to go back to work, it does not make that woman a bad mother or person and women need to stop shaming women who do. There is a sense of loss that comes with giving life which is why there are more that 3 million cases a year of women going through post-partum depression. Taking time for yourself only makes you a better and stronger person which makes you a better mother because a mother can not be good to any child if they are physically, mentally, and/or emotionally run down, tired, or depressed. Plus it is interesting that no one complains that men work and/or socialize and they're not seen in a bad light.
To all the working mothers and to all the mothers who take time out for themselves, I do not shame you, but applaud and encourage you. Come on ladies slay the game, not each other!
