Pregnancy is a wild roller coaster ride of emotions filled with fear, sadness, confusion, and joy. Life has things to offer us that are way greater than our dreams. And, as every chapter has in my life, becoming a mom has given me a perspective to help walk, share, and join in the journey with other moms who are afraid, saddened, struggling with parts of mommy-hood that they didn't expect. It's a rough gig.
I promise that there isn't something wrong with you. Let me repeat, it's a rough gig full of expectations with little reference. The average mom gets only 17 minutes of free time to herself each day. Feelings of out-of-sorts or lonely due to mega-changes in relationships with friends (what are those?!?), partners (who's that?!?), and family (you mean babysitters, right?!?) leave a lot of weariness!
