Yes, and when that happens, we have the sense that our bodies are moving 
through their natural phases, sometimes without our minds going with 
them! The experience can be a bit disconcerting, especially with the 
emotional issues common to perimenopause, unless someone helps a mother 
to see what is happening and offer a positive perspective on it. As with 
frequent pregnancies, non-interventionist childbirth and "long" periods 
of breastfeeding, it is hard to get validation for that experience when 
so much of women's health and well-being is medicalized or simply denied.

pre-menopause, during lactation)
