I noticed the other day that often the online definition of doesn’t include the social impact of becoming a mother but it focuses on the ‘internal’ changes.

I decided to go back to the source and see what she said about it all. It’s posted above.

Let’s not forget that being a mother impacts our biology, our psychology and our social status.

It’s a bio-psycho-social change.

It’s not just about the mother but also about how society expects her to be.

This social expectation impacts her psychology and her brain.

For more see our paper : Understanding the maternal brain in the context of the mental load of motherhood (link above and on my website)

And as always, when talking about the Sociology of Motherhood go to the expert . ❤️

Just a friendly reminder:

Size doesn’t matter as much as what you do with it.

And we seem to do quite a lot with shrinking brains. 😉
