Público29 August 2026 at 15:09

Author Vivien Merciel Suarez writes an opinion column about her experience with motherhood and the intrauterine device (IUD). In the text, she reflects that motherhood was not postponed waiting for a man, but rather built as part of building a life.

Suarez mentions a striking coincidence: the delivery of her book to her feminist gynecologist coincided with the removal of the IUD. The article is signed as the author's opinion, indicating that it is a personal reflection on her reproductive trajectory and motherhood.
