It is a separate character and it is something that I'm dealing with.

So I think that has helped me in separating the fact that I love, I still love motherhood very much.

It's definitely hard, of course.

Mm-hmm.

But the anxiety is not... It's kind of not defining my experience of motherhood, if that makes sense.

However, I do think because I had such a great first phase, I definitely have put a lot of pressure on myself to continue that... To feel that way.

To have the best experience of motherhood and, you know...

And definitely, like maybe it's a label I've given myself as someone, and this is why labels are so unhealthy.

Like I am the person that didn't know if I wanted to have kids and then I've had them and it's been the best thing I've ever done.

So it has to be the best thing I've ever done for the rest of my life.

Otherwise, like something's wrong.

But that's not life, right?

No.

Yeah.

I've never questioned that.

Actually, I haven't.

I've definitely thought like, fuck, it's hard.

Fuck, it's hard.

Yeah, no, that's fine.

But not once.
