(don't) keep your roots: Mommy, are you ok?

The most common expression one hears at the doctor's office for a woman is, "Give birth and it will pass. Gynecological problems, as well as vascular problems, headaches, depression, and everything else, are commonly treated by childbirth.

If a woman decides to terminate her pregnancy, she will be humiliated by the doctors themselves, scaring her with scary untrue stories of infertility or even death.

But a woman who decides to give birth faces violence just as rarely. Obstetric violence, abusive behavior in women's clinics, condescending attitudes from others, aggressive remarks toward mothers with babies when breastfeeding, or if the baby is in any way disturbing to others.

Women are often wished for patience, without going into detail about whether they want to tolerate something or whether they intend to do so.
