Mother's day and infertility

"Happy Mother's Day" to all the wonderful moms and maternal figures out there! This post is in no way intended to take away from a worthy day of celebration and gratitude However, the truth is, this day can be tough for those who struggle with grief, loss, and/or infertility.

 This year i celebrate my first Mothers day as a Mom. This Mother's day is especially meaningful to me - Its the first Mother's day in which I am actually a Momma.
I learned by own our infertility disappointments that you can't control everything and you can't fix everything that is wrong. These lessons will serve you well and make you more comfortable sitting in the hurt .My own infertility journey  helps me to give other advice based on my own experience.

So, for all of you who aren’t feeling quite so jubilant this Mother’s Day, I want you to know that you’re not alone. It’s no secret that Mother’s Day is hard for those who’ve lost their mothers, but the lesser-told story is that it’s equally unbearable for those still awaiting their turn to become mothers. For those who’ve spent thousands of rupees on fertility treatments with no return on their investment. For those whose lives have been in limbo for years. You’re in my heart, and I salute you this Mother’s Day. May the next Mother’s Day be different.You already have the heart of a mother. A fierce love is already embedded deep inside of you.

If you or someone you know is struggling with infertility, please write to me priamantra@gmail.com

What 21 days of yoga taught me about motherhood

For the past 21 days, I have committed to a practice of bettering myself, moving my body, and becoming more deeply aware of my motherhood. After the birth of my baby, I jumped back into exercise and motherhood, foolishly hoping that all of my routines would pick off where they left off. But after a stint at a pelvic floor physical therapist and weeks readjusting to motherhood, another version of my post-partum body, and living life, everything needed gentleness… and a BIG break. In an effort to heal myself during this time, I dedicated myself to a yoga practice in a way I never have before. All of my greatest shifts happen when I commit fully, so I opted in for a 21days practice of yoga, allowing my body to heal and my mind to accept whatever my body was able to produce. What happened over these 21 days changed my physical body, and offered me a new sense of grace for all the parts of me, on and off the mat. It is often forgotten that motherhood, like yoga, is a daily practice. There...

After losing weight through Yoga ,my next challenge is to conceive , which I was trying more than years. All medical treatments and experiments done on my body but nothing worked.

It helped and made me address the thoughts in my head and really dissect the situation for my own mental health. Getting on the yoga mat helped me stay balanced during the most stressful time. I...
