The Womb That Held Me is a lyrical journey through pregnancy, motherhood, and psychological transformation, written from the dual lens of a clinical psychologist and a new mother. Through deeply reflective poems, the book explores unplanned beginnings, fear shaped by professional knowledge, emotional absence, postpartum vulnerability, and gradual healing. Refusing idealised narratives, these poems honour honesty, endurance, and quiet courage. This collection speaks to women who have carried life alongside uncertainty, loved without guarantees, and discovered that becoming a mother is not the loss of self, but the reshaping of it.
