Women share their honest, raw feelings about the taboo subject of regretting motherhood.

It鈥檚 an experience rarely talked about. But here, under the protection of anonymity, three mothers open up about their feelings of loneliness, failure, and shame, and the pressure they faced to have children.

Some pursued motherhood because they believed it's the natural path, while others succumbed to societal expectations. They discuss the sacrifices they have made, including their own happiness and well-being. They've had some positive experiences too, but they are worried about how their feelings will impact their children. Was the price they paid for motherhood worth it?

Producer: Riham Moussa
