Form

In design, form follows function.

In motherhood, form follows experience.

This section holds writing organised by form, not stage - recognising that pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause are not linear milestones, but profound structural shifts.

Each form is a threshold.
Each requires different language, care, and permission.

Pregnancy

Becoming more than one body

Pregnancy alters perception, attention, and embodiment.

Here we publish writing that explores:

  • bodily sovereignty

  • anticipation and fear

  • identity under expansion

  • the politics of visibility

Postpartum

Living in the aftermath of transformation

Postpartum is not a short recovery window.
It is an extended reorientation.

This section holds writing on:

  • fragmentation and rebuilding

  • clothing, space, and support

  • grief, rage, tenderness

  • continuity of self

Perimenopause

Reckoning, power, reorientation

Perimenopause is a form of awakening that resists neat language.

Here we explore:

  • power and withdrawal

  • creative resurgence

  • bodily authority

  • refusal and clarity
