Debina Bonnerjee once took to her You Tube channel, Debina Decodes to talk about the anxious experiences any new mother goes through during pregnancy. Debina discussed the mom’s guilt that many new mothers face. Parents want to give the child everything. Sometimes she thinks that the baby will treat us the same way she treated her parents. Thus, the world is full of inconsistencies.
She was aware that every woman experiences this overpowering emotion upon childbirth. For her, this is described as post-natal anxiety. Some people return to work 12 days after giving birth, while others take a two-year break. It has neither right nor wrong. Let a lady do whatever she feels good about it, she said. It is the stress of the mother that makes the child uncomfortable. Nobody has power to overpower this but new mommies can alter negative thoughts into positive ones by changing their thought process.
