@chrissyteigen
, top linguists, and medical professionals. Why? To create a culture that values and empowers women. Because right now, that’s not happening.
1 in 4 women will experience the loss of a pregnancy. We don’t talk about it enough.
New Zealand’s parliament has just approved groundbreaking legislation giving parents the right to paid leave after suffering a miscarriage.
Rest of the world, take note. 👏
trigger warning: this letter contains experiences of baby loss that may be triggering. 🤍
thank you
@chrissyteigen
for shining a light on such an important conversation. no woman should have to go through this in silence. ♥️
There is no shame in pregnancy loss. By sharing her experience, Britney is allowing space for others to heal alongside her, and share their stories. We’re so glad she’s not going through this alone. ❤️

“As a new mom, it was really important to hear positive compliments from people just being like ‘hey, you’re doing a great job.’ Those went such a long way, especially on those late-nights-slash-early-mornings.” - Shay Mitchell. ✨
"Just because you become a mother, it doesn't mean you lose who you are." - Beyonce. 💋 Nurture your sense of self, mama. Be kind to yourself. But most importantly, remember you're not alone and you are still YOU.

Someone once said it takes six weeks to get back to normal after having a baby. They clearly didn't know that once you're a mama, normal is history. 🙋♀️

Four years ago, we created Peanut to give women a safe space to find meaningful connections throughout all stages of motherhood. Today is our birthday, and we're celebrating by sharing a video of what we've achieved so far. 👏

We applaud her for sharing her story. Her brave decision to speak out will help millions of women feel less alone. Thank you, Jessie. ❤️
Mama life is trying the whole day to get the baby to sleep so you can have a moment alone, only to spend the entire time they're sleeping staring at them because you love them so much. 😇
Me:
I'm tired.
People everywhere:
Just enjoy the time with your kids, it doesn't last!
Me:
I said I'm tired, not that I hate my children. I'm allowed to feel things!
Me trying my best to excel in life, get 8 hours sleep, eat well, take care of my house, pay my bills, call my parents, text my friends, drink enough water, plan date nights, read the news, watch the shows everyone’s talking about, and not lose my mind.
Being an adult means you have a total of three friends, they all live in different parts of the country and you just send each other funny videos and say 'this made me think of you'. 🙋♀️
Why Atlanta? Well, it’s a city with notoriously high rates of voter suppression, which 73% of women are worried about this election.
And here at Peanut we’re committed to mobilizing as many women to vote as possible, regardless of their political leanings. 🙋♀️
Kids need parents, regardless of gender.
Two moms, two dads, a mom and dad, one mom, one dad.
As long as there’s someone to love and take care of the child, why does it matter?

With a far-right majority in the Supreme Court throwing away 50 years of precent, women are in danger. We know you may be feeling many emotions right now—shock, confusion, hurt. Know that your feelings are valid and we’re here for you, always.
One of the greatest things you can do for a new mama is simply remember that the baby isn't the only one who needs to be held, nurtured, or cared for. ❤️
Reminder that in Friends, Phoebe, Rachel and Monica were all given unconventional journeys to normalize surrogacy, single motherhood, and fertility issues. So important. ❤️
"I never understand why mothers judge other mothers, like, 'What do you mean you didn’t breastfeed? What do you mean you didn’t do this?' It’s like, 'Can’t we all just be on each other’s side?'" - Gwyneth Paltrow. 👏
