Rosalinda Cannavò’s outburst: “Pregnancy is not just joy”
In recent months, on social media, Rosalinda Cannavò has received several comments from women who asked her with what right she also had the right to talk about the hardships linked to pregnancy and not just the positive side of the period she was experiencing. “These are messages that I often receive from women and the thing that shocks me most is that I have to hear that pregnancy is just a moment of joy and not a permanent hospitalization”explained the expectant mother.
The former GF Vip competitor is against the idea of always having to appear happy during pregnancy, indeed, she herself has experienced several difficult moments, about which she initially felt ashamed:
Manuel Bortuzzo will be at the Paralympics: “I’m going back to swimming for myself. I would like a woman in my life”
I think, on the contrary, what’s going through your head? To understand, should I feel ashamed and afraid in telling and saying that there are moments during pregnancy when I’m not well? Because I’m pregnant and I’m not sick, so I always have to feel good and over the moon. I won’t deny that, especially at the beginning of the pregnancy, I felt ashamed to talk about my moods.
“At the beginning of the pregnancy I was depressed, I was always crying”
The future mother also spoke for the first time about an intimate and personal aspect of her pregnancy, which she chose to share for “to make all women who are afraid of other people’s judgments feel less guilty and less alone”. The first months after finding out she was pregnant she suffered from depression: “At the beginning of my pregnancy I was depressed. I use this term and I’m not ashamed to say it because do you know how many hormonal changes we suffer? I was always crying, I couldn’t understand what was happening to me, how to get out of this state”. Even in that difficult moment, there was no shortage of comments underlining how she had no right to be depressed because she was pregnant:
I blamed myself because I received those answers, I felt really bad. Pregnancy is a wonderful journey that brings you to the greatest moment and joy of our lives. This does not mean that we do not have the right to express our fears, difficulties and fragilities. The pregnant woman does not gain a special superpower that makes her invincible.
