A Famous Mother Shares Her Experience of New Motherhood

Even Hilary Clinton experienced the overwhelming stress and confusion that often comes with being a new mother. Here is an excerpt from an article written in the Boston Globe recently along with the link to the full article:

“This week, Clinton offered several policy proposals aimed at mothers, illustrating them with her own life story.
In Manchester on Tuesday, Clinton argued that parents struggling to balance work and family deserve more help from the government; she wants to expand paid family leave and make unpaid leave available to more workers.
She described being the first pregnant lawyer at her Arkansas law firm. "I kept getting more and more pregnant, and the lawyers just kept sort of walking down the hall looking away," she said.
Clinton also spoke about the stress of being a new mother, but acknowledged that she had more money and help than many women. "I once told Chelsea late one night when she was crying inconsolably, I said: 'Chelsea, you've never been a baby before and I've never been a mother before. We're just going to have to work to figure this out.' "
