The first episode of this drama vividly shows the pain and humiliation that women may encounter before and after childbirth! For example, the forced change of personal preferences, the five stages to go through 36 hours before and after childbirth, the humiliation of being checked by three male doctors in turn, and the of in-laws and families other than themselves and their own mothers after giving birth......
✨
Not only that, after giving birth, women also have to face a short loss of self-identity, the choice of raising the baby (breast milk or milk powder), the physical care and body recovery of pregnant women, the changes in the relationship between husband and wife after childbirth, the choice of nanny, and the choice of becoming a full-time mother or a working woman......
✨✨ Classic lines:
1. "At 11 o'clock on June 10, the moment the baby boy was born, Oh Hyun-jin (the heroine's) life ended. ”
2. I have become a mother, and I have always been an ignorant child in front of my own mother.
3. Not all families are happy, and not all families are unhappy, so don't be timid before you try.
There are five stages of labor that every mother goes through:
Stage 1: The humiliation period
(Enema, shaving, examination...) The heroine has no dignity in the waiting room)
The second stage: the animal stage
(The pain of opening the fingers turns "people" into "beasts" that can only cry)
Stage 3: Painless Heaven
Stage 4: Crazy Team Phase
(At the moment of childbirth, the sourness is no less than a great animal migration)
Stage 5: The discomfort of first-time motherhood
Childbirth, however, is not the end of suffering.
Everyone is immersed in the joy of newborns, and when the mother-in-law downplays the hard work of the heroine's birth, only the heroine's mother feels the most sorry for her daughter. Seeing his daughter's chapped lips, he poured a glass of water for his daughter. and replied, "What the hell is going on, where is there any natural birth in this world, my daughter is experiencing life and death."

In addition to the chickens and dogs jumping in childbirth, the difficulty of breastfeeding during the confinement, the postpartum body shape, and the actual parenting are the most headaches for every mother.
After giving birth, the belly is still like seven months;
If you haven't urinated for a few hours, you will be intubated;
The discomfort of the side cut made them have to be careful even when they sit down;
There is also annoying urine leakage, and if you sneeze, you may have urinary incontinence;
and the pain of "piercing the heart" when feeding·····
Because of the chaos, mothers are often at a loss, blaming themselves, and wandering between self-worth and motherhood·····
/
Sometimes being a mother means throwing away dignity, throwing away freedom, shattering one's former self, and being forced to reorganize.
✨
This drama made me understand that a good mother is not a perfect mother, but a mother who feels happy with her children! We don't need to do our best, sacrifice ourselves, and distort the status quo to cater to those standards of "perfect mothers" that do not exist.
✨
I hope that women can truly have the freedom to choose one day!
