Embracing Motherhood - It's a Choice!

"Silence is golden until you have kids but silence after having kids is suspicious."

Once you sign on to be a mom, 24/7 is the only shift they offer. Yes, indeed! 

It's Mother's Day eve, and as the lil' one is gearing up to unfold the surprises to make me feel special, the conversation starts...

Liz: Moma, what's the biggest adventure of your life?

Me: Carrying you in my tummy, and moving around effortlessly for 9 months.

Liz: Seriously, I thought a stork picked me from the heaven and left me at your doorstep.

Me: I wish that was true, it would have at least saved me from the stretch marks which I wear as a badge of honour and achievement!😉

Me, with my lil' angel 😇

Nature has bestowed a woman with one of the most precious gifts - the gift of being a mother. The experience is surreal! However, every woman is different, and it's often best to let her make her choices, and break the age old stereotype while embracing motherhood without being judgmental. 

Let her decide whether to embrace motherhood or not to.

Whether to have one child or more.  

Whether to give birth, and raise the baby or place the baby for adoption. 

Whether to embrace motherhood by conceiving or through adoption. In many cases, the later is the only option one is left with.

Whether to embrace motherhood through self conception or surrogacy. 

Whether to freeze the eggs for latter use as she focusses on her career or not to freeze.

Whether to opt for  the donor insemination or to be a single mom.

Whether to be a pet mom or to nurture a human cub.

And, lastly let her decide if she wants to continue with the pregnancy or abort it for the betterment of her mental and physical health or the impending financial matters, because nothing is more important than the well-being of a mother to nurture a healthy baby.

Pregnancy is a process, it shall pass, and so shall the postpartum phase. However, motherhood is a journey, it shall continue. 

Finally, after being a Mother, let her decide if she wants to raise the child, by being a badass mom or an easy going mom, because motherhood doesn't come with an operating manual. Its a natural instinct to protect your offspring and to provide them with the best things in life!

Here's wishing all the moms a very Happy Mother's Day! 😊
