“Becoming a mother is, for most women, a joyous event.  But pregnancy and birth are also times of great uncertainty.  Many women seek the secret formula for perfect motherhood – and feel guilty when they fail to find it.  This book does not claim to offer the recipe for perfect mothering.  On the contrary, it is a sharing of experiences by mothers about what has worked, and failed, for them.  It is not a ‘How to do it’ book but rather a ‘How I did it book’ in which women explore the reality of becoming a mother.”
