Normalise Feeling ‘Not Okay’ in Pregnancy by Richa Kumari

In a world filled with pristine images of pregnancy, where glowing expectant mothers are portrayed as living goddesses, “Normalise Feeling ‘Not Okay’ in Pregnancy” by author Richa Kumari offers a refreshing and much-needed perspective on the journey of motherhood. This book challenges the conventional narrative surrounding pregnancy, urging us to embrace its multifaceted nature and acknowledge the emotional and physical complexities that come with it.

The author, drawing from the experiences of nine women, takes us on a journey of self-discovery and vulnerability, offering a candid glimpse into the roller-coaster of emotions that pregnancy can entail. With each chapter, the book dismantles the stereotypical notion of pregnancy as a mere ailment or a time of blissful perfection. Instead, it invites us to witness the highs and lows, the joys and sorrows, and the triumphs and challenges that accompany this transformative phase of a woman’s life.

One of the book’s most significant strengths lies in its emphasis on prioritizing mental health during pregnancy. It boldly addresses the often-overlooked emotional struggles that many expectant mothers face. By sharing personal stories and anecdotes from other individuals, the author effectively illustrates the diverse range of emotions and experiences that can arise during this period. It’s a poignant reminder that no two pregnancies are the same and that it’s perfectly normal to feel ‘Not Okay’ amidst the process.

The narrative is beautifully complemented by the inclusion of various examples and testimonials from a wide array of individuals, making it inclusive and relatable. These real-life accounts add depth and authenticity to the book, reinforcing the message that it’s crucial to create a safe and supportive environment for expectant mothers to express their feelings without judgment.

While the book succeeds in providing a broad overview of the emotional journey of pregnancy, at times, it could delve deeper into certain topics. Readers seeking more in-depth exploration of specific aspects of pregnancy may find themselves craving a more detailed analysis. Nevertheless, the book’s brevity and accessibility make it an excellent starting point for anyone looking to better understand the emotional complexities of pregnancy.

“Normalise Feeling ‘Not Okay’ in Pregnancy” is a timely and essential contribution to the discourse surrounding pregnancy and motherhood. By challenging stereotypes and advocating for mental health awareness during this transformative phase of life, the author shines a light on a topic that has long been shrouded in unrealistic expectations. This book is a valuable resource not only for expectant mothers but also for partners, friends, and healthcare professionals who seek to provide the support and understanding that every pregnant individual deserves. It reminds us that pregnancy is not a one-size-fits-all experience, and it encourages us to embrace and normalize the diverse range of emotions that come with it.
