Description

In 2024 Motherhood Uncensored ran a writing competition, open to all, on the theme of ‘things left unsaid about motherhood’. Hundreds entered and thousands voted on which entries resonated with them the most.

This collection contains the most popular entries. It tackles the impact of motherhood on our relationships, work, health and identity; our dilemmas about becoming mothers; fertility, loss and grief; and inequality and injustice.

It is a book which will inspire and challenge readers to consider what they have left unsaid.

Profits will be shared with Make Birth Better and PND Awareness and Support (PANDAS).
