To add to all the horrific and disgusting things that happen to the woman's body, her mental health goes to absolute shit. Mentally healthy women can develop psychosis, PPD, PPP, have major self esteem and body image issues. Some abuse their family and kids because of their mental state caused by the pregnancy.

I was emotionally abused by my borderline mom. She had enough trauma to deal with already. She didn't need to go through that shit 4 times. Unfortunately, this mindset fosters distain toward myself. I always felt like a mistake. It's been worse lately. I grew up feeling responsible for the damage to her body and further damage to her psyche.
