What do moms really want for Mother's Day? We need to talk about it.

3 weeks ago | usatoday.com | Adrianna Rodriguez

My husband asked me what I want for Mother’s Day. I said nothing. It’s not that I don’t want anything, I just want nothing. I want to do nothing, I want to think nothing, I want to be nothing. I don’t want to think about the weather and how to dress our daughter appropriately in the morning. I don’t want to think about what she’s eating throughout the day and if she’s getting the right nutrients. I don’t want to think about how much TV she’s watching and if she has the right shoes to go to the park.

Dr. Bayo Curry-Winchell wasn’t feeling right. The physician from Reno, Nevada, knew what to expect after giving birth to her second daughter via cesarean section in 2016. Then she felt dizzy and had a dull pain in her stomach. Curry-Winchell relayed her concerns to the nurse who had wheeled her into the delivery room. “Bayo, you look fine.
