Meghan Markle quebra tradição entre grávidas da família real

Meghan Markle tem garantido seu lugar como a favorita do povo na Família Real britânica. A nova atitude da duquesa quebra uma tradição entre as mulheres grávidas da realeza e demonstra sua preocupação com a causa das mulheres.

Na reta final de sua primeira gravidez, fruto do casamento com o príncipe Harry, Meghan Markle recebeu, em março, uma carta aberta de Chelsea Hirschhorn, CEO da Fridababy, pedindo que ela tomasse seu tempo e evitasse “desfilar fora do hospital na frente de multidões para mostrar seu novo pacote de alegria”.

“Faça sua parte por todas as mulheres”, escreveu a executiva, em texto publicado no “The New York Times”.

Dear Royal Mom-To-Be,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You will soon give birth to one of the most anticipated babies in the world and like your princess predecessors, you’ll be expected to parade outside of the hospital in front of throngs of photographers to show off your new bundle of joy shortly after giving birth. You’ll smile, you’ll wave, you’ll be radiant, but between your legs will be a whole different story.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sure your blowout will be perfect for your hospital step photo-op, but people will be opining on all the wrong things instead of having an honest conversation about what women go through during birth and immediately thereafter. In my line of work we tackle the side of childbirth that won’t get as much airtime. Women are breaking down barriers left and right, so why is it still considered taboo to talk about the raw aftermath of what your body just went through?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Spoiler alert: bringing a new life into the world usually starts with your vagina, and the aftermath is a mess. The bleeding and swelling will linger, peeing will burn, and sitting like your old self will feel like a herculean feat. And if it’s a C-section, there’s a whole host of other issues to tend to. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So when the “big reveal” day arrives but you’re feeling like all the King’s horses and all the King’s men couldn’t put your vagina back together again – use this stage to do your part for all women who are about to embark on their first “fourth trimester.” Skip the pomp and circumstance of the baby parade. Let the headlines instead read: “Prince Brings Royal Baby Out Because Mom Is in Bed Sitting on a Pack of Ice.” And if you really can’t skip it, then at the very least flash us a glimpse of the mesh underwear underneath to keep it real. With your help we’ll have made some real progress. We’ll be rooting for you on your path to recovery and hope you take all the time you need – because raising a human requires feeling like a human. Trust us, your vagina (and baby) will thank you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Chelsea Hirschhorn @cmrh, mom of 3 + CEO

Tradicionalmente, as mulheres da Família Real exibiam o filho que acabara de nascer ao povo, poucas horas após o parto, de forma impecável, como se tivessem apenas feito exames de rotina.

A imagem transmite ao povo uma ideia errada do parto pois, para a maioria das mães, o pós-parto é um momento extremamente delicado, que envolve cansaço físico e mental.

Pensando nisso, Meghan resolveu acatar o pedido de Chelsea e não posará para as câmeras com a família na saída do hospital (ou de sua própria casa, dependendo de onde for feito o parto) horas depois de parir.
