Mothers

How would you define motherhood or fatherhood in one word? Having a child is one of the most important events in a person's life, and each one has a different definition of it.

I could not avoid it. As soon as I read the word "Mothers" announcing the new Mediaset series on the Amazon Prime Video platform, I had to click and start watching. With that title it was clear that the protagonists were going to be mothers, so I already sensed that it was going to reach my heart.

The coronavirus came to completely change our lives, keeping us all locked in our homes and separated from the people we used to hang out with. We have all found ourselves confined for weeks and weeks, trying to live our lives as normal as possible.

Sharing the experience of motherhood through social networks generates great participation, since a community is created where to resolve insecurities, care for the baby or simply doubts with other moms or future moms.

In developed countries, women become mothers at increasingly advanced ages. The causes of this phenomenon are a set of factors related to lifestyle that have been delaying the age of being a mother in recent years. According to data from the INE (National Institute of Statistics), in Spain the average age of first-time mothers is 32.2 years and 30% of women have their first child over 35 years of age.

With the use of social networks, today it is more common to share with our family and friends some fragments of our daily life and the special moments that we live. Motherhood and life with children are one of the things that parents share the most through these media, and actresses and celebrities are no exception.

Not only is breastfeeding beneficial for babies, but there is growing evidence that it may also reduce the risk of stroke in postmenopausal women who report having breastfed at least one child, according to new research published in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
