Landing on Mommy Island
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010Isolation, breastfeeding, financial strain, exhaustion, identity shift…
If we were aware of the trappings of new motherhood, how many of us would make the commitment? Despite our standing in life, some things remain constant for all of us when we decide we want to become mothers. Like a lot of other crucial life decisions, we weight the pros and cons. To some, our emotions outweigh the practicalities of the choice. Others agonize over the more concrete – finances, health risk, etc.
The goal of my work – my passion – is to educate women - to empathize and guide through this most important life transition. If we proactively look at the choices involved in becoming a mother, we are more likely to enter motherhood confidently. With less surprises after the baby arrives, we can more fully enjoy this beautiful time.
