Other Mothers Share Their Stories

One mother wrote a blog to let first time mothers know what to expect. As she says, pregnant women get lots of advice on how to prepare for their babies, what to eat while you're pregnant, and unsolicited parenting advice. But they are rarely told about the major life change that will occur once they have their babies, or how it feels to be a mother. Of course, every woman's experience is different, but it's a good thing for mothers to talk about their feelings and experiences so that the "normalcy" of mothering can one day replace the myth and fantasy that is so prevalent in our culture.
