This piece was used to explain some of the effects of identity loss and how some

Mother’s aren’t happy with this new found identity of being called a Mother first

before anything else, this proved some of my points in my own research.

This article explained the transition into motherhood and how it wasn’t quite what

they had expected it to be, it raised issues on bonding and how Mother’s felt they

were meant to know what their baby needed but actually it took some time for them

to get to know their child. This was important in my research as it discussed how

bonding can affect identity.
