It's just... I usually love the stuff you come up with on this blog, but for me at least, it kind of felt like you just succumbed to the style lords and forgot that your audience is
normal moms who
live in the real world where utility is high on the list of
priorities and spillage of all kinds of wet substances is inevitable, and not some fantasy world full of perky boobs and washboard abs where people buy gorgeous yet uncomfortable sandals.
A qualitative study of pregnant Indigenous women in Perth found that women commonly referred to smoking as
normal, a stress release, a low health
priority and a social experience, and commented that it was difficult to quit because they were surrounded by smoking from their family and household members.11 In the social context of high smoking rates and large numbers of adults per household, smoking may offer an opportunity to alleviate stress, acting as a social lubricant in «time - out, yarning, and sharing with others».11 This provides a critical target for intervention in antenatal smoking; in order to help women to quit, it seems that consideration of and involvement with the social context in which women
live are essential.
