HERCANBERRA.COM.AU T h e m a s k o f MOTHERHOOD WORDS Laura Peppas HAVING A BABY IS ONE OF THE MOST PRECIOUS MOMENTS IN LIFE, BUT IT’S ALSO ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT ADJUSTMENTS. SO WHY, IN THE AGE OF OVERSHARING, DOES IT STILL FEEL TABOO TO SAY SO? PAGE 54
MAGAZINE ISSUE NO.10 "I FELT LIKE I WAS BEING FORCED TO ABANDON EVERYTHING I WAS—A WRITER, FRIEND, WIFE, TRAVELLER—FOR THIS TINY, SCREAMING HUMAN." THERE WAS JUST ONE MOMENT, throughout my surprisingly enjoyable pregnancy, that would really give me an indication of what was to come. It wasn’t that episode of Friends where Rachel gives birth to a beautiful baby girl and a few episodes later is back at work, as fabulous as ever. It wasn’t the many Instagram mummies with their glossy hair and Seed-clad little ones tucked neatly on their hip, waxing poetic about the journey that is motherhood. It wasn’t my prenatal classes, which focussed so much on the impending labour rather than the aftermath. It wasn’t even a visit to friends who had babies, because that only ever offered a mere glimpse of what was in store. It was a moment at the end of my final prenatal check-up, when my midwife made the parting comment: “You know the women who find motherhood the hardest? The ones who need to have everything ‘just so'; who always need to be in control. They’re the ones who struggle most in those first few months.” As a self-confessed control freak, a tiny alarm bell triggered. Before then, I was under the misguided illusion that somehow, my baby would magically fit into my life, not vice versa. This is going to be tougher than you think, I realised. Now when I look back at those first few weeks post-baby, I remember running to the mirror to put on makeup before people visited, hurriedly trying to clean the house while my baby screamed, and trying to squeeze my sore, engorged breasts and postpartum belly into my old clothes. It sounds terribly self-indulgent and foolish, but a part of me felt I needed to be like those smiling, shiny-haired mothers. Look how in control I am. I’m still me. I can do this. I just couldn’t embrace motherhood for what it really was, and the imperfections that undeniably came with it. What’s worse, I couldn’t help but think what I knew I should never say out loud—I want my old life back. I felt like I was being forced to abandon everything I was—a writer, friend, wife, traveller—for this tiny, screaming human. My days had swiftly gone from a job interviewing successful business people and politicians to feeling lucky if I had the time to drag my aching limbs into the shower for ten minutes. PAGE 55
