This film explores Postpartum Anxiety / Mental Health, Love vs Fear — especially the fear that our child will be harmed. That we will fail to keep them safe, or even that we may inadvertently or accidentally harm them ourselves. All the What If’s — what if they don’t wake up tomorrow? What if this breath they take is their last? We explore the gap between Expectation and Reality — how we thought motherhood would be vs how it really is, and Loss of Self: How in early motherhood, your entire world changes from being about you, to being about keeping this tiny little person safe, alive, and thriving.
