The four Mindful Mamas members were the ones I met at MacRitchie Reservoir. Our eyelids were cooled by a breeze and the late afternoon sunshine. Every woman looked more than prepared for their ordinary move when her baby was either in a ship or in her arms.  ,
They were neighbors a year ago. They collaborate carefully today to create their expanding area of roughly 1, 000 Singaporean mothers who want to slow down, manage their stress much, and raise their children in a thoughtful, unhurried, and deliberate manner.  ,  ,
Before they found each other, mother primarily felt like a challenge.
Amanda Ong, a 30-year-old composer, gave birth to her first child in May 2024. She frequently felt only despite being enamored of her girl.  ,
Several of her friends were interested in how her life had changed since she was a mother, and the majority of them weren’t mothers. She told CNA Women,” I love my child and being a mother, but the grief of new parenting has occasionally affected me.”
Ho Kin Ing, a business owner, gave birth to Cherish, her second child, in September 2023. However, knowledge did not make things simpler. The 33-year-old had suffered from maternal melancholy since having her first kid, and even after her next, she frequently felt stressed and exhausted.  ,
I was extremely meticulous, anxious, and unable to relax with my first two girls, she said. Ho was determined to accomplish things differently this time.
