And help support more work like this by becoming a free or paid subscriber. Your support makes this possible. I love libraries. Over the years, I’ve accumulated library cards like talismans. Every time we move to a new place, the first thing I do is locate the closest library and get myself a card. Now that all 3 of my kids are old enough, I get them library cards, too.

The pressure to “bounce back” after having a baby is intense. And your ability to bounce back to your old body after giving birth is often graded and used to determine your “goodness” as a woman and mother. Yep, diet culture is E V E R Y W H E R E … even for new moms. When I was pregnant for the first time, bouncing back postpartum wasn’t something I thought much about. In fact, being pregnant felt like I was finally healing a decades-long, tortured relationship with my body and disordered eating.

Ask most women how they want to age, and you’ll likely hear something like, “I just want to stay healthy and independent for as long as possible.”That desire often stems from wanting to feel confident, capable, and good in their bodies—even as those bodies change with age. Nothing will put a damper on your ability to age strong than having weak bones. Bone density can literally make or break your quality of life postmenopause.

I write about motherhood and feminism, which sometimes means I cover things like 6 women doing space tourism and calling it an important feminist act. If you enjoy reading about these sorts of topics, please consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. I debated writing about this because so many people on the internet are already talking about the “historic all-female spaceflight” that launched 6 women into space on Monday April 14th. And yet, something about this is event keeps tugging on me.
