Meet the Face Behind Your Unfiltered Mum

---

 Hello, my name is Jeanette, and I'm 40 years old. Unlike the typical traditional woman, I never wanted kids for a long time. When I finally did have a child at 38, my journey was anything but smooth. I had a difficult pregnancy, suffering from constant morning sickness for nine months, as well as preeclampsia and postpartum preeclampsia. My baby had silent reflux and colic, leaving me with only 2-3 hours of sleep at most. This overwhelming experience led to my diagnosis of postpartum depression, affecting my relationships and well-being.

During this challenging time, writing became my escape, helping me process my feelings and experiences. This inspired me to create a space to help new mums be more prepared. I want to share the truth, including the tough parts, so they can know what to expect and be mentally prepared for the realities of motherhood. Society often paints an overly rosy picture of pregnancy and motherhood, but they fail to mention the hardships. I'm here to shed light on those truths and support you through your journey.

This journey of motherhood gave me immense empathy and admiration for mothers, especially those without support. For me, these mums are superheroes.

I want this space to be a treasure trove of information for new mums where the unfiltered truth is heard. I believe mums need to be prepared for this journey, take it seriously, be mentally strong for it, and most importantly, not feel alone.

I hope this space provides comfort and valuable information for women like myself—those navigating the highs and lows of motherhood, especially when the journey is filled with fear, uncertainty, or struggles. No mother should feel alone in this.
