A new mom, with next to no experience with a new baby... what is the stuff of her nightmares that may wake her up?
A new mom, with next to no experience with a new baby… what is the stuff of her nightmares that may wake her up?
It is the dead of night I awaken in dread a nightmare something heavy so heavy on my chest what was it? what is it? why am I wet? a mewling next to my stiff right arm startles me It is my new baby I must feed her no instinct clicks just bleary-eyed darkness I tug at the zipper of my gown try to position baby’s hungry mouth but her head doesn’t come closer I lift my head off the pillow to check what’s wrong and gasp she’s on her tummy how is that even possible? full of guilt I sit up as per the doctor’s instruction – always feed the baby upright now I know why.

Dear Women’s Web Community Member,
You may have wondered at our being on the quieter side during the last couple of months. Thank you for your patience, and we wanted to come back to you with a detailed note on what’s been happening at our end of things.
When we first began Women’s Web, as a blog from one woman’s desk along with a few like-minded souls, little could we have imagined the heights that it would soar to. Over the years, Women’s Web has published over 20000 stories (almost all by women), empowered countless women with the ideas, community and resources to chase their dreams, employed hundreds of women in core and project-based roles, and in the process, emerged as the OG women’s community in India. It has also inspired many others to build communities of a similar nature, all enabling women (and other-underrepresented groups) in their own ways.
