Women who have been there share their stories to help you decide: "Do I Want to Be a Mom?"
Today, the question of motherhood is no longer just a matter of "when" but also "if." And with the question of "if " comes a barrage of even more daunting questions: How will having a baby affect my career? My body? My health? My marriage? "Do I Want to Be a Mom?" shares the illuminating, candid voices of women from all walks of life who have grappled with these same difficult questions to help you come to a decision about motherhood that's right for you.
"Do I Want to Be a Mom?" is for any woman who has ever wondered: Am I selfish if I don't want to have children? Can I afford children? What if my marriage breaks up? Can I take time off from work to have children? Can I have kids after forty if I change my mind? Will I be sorry when I'm older if I don't have kids?
From new moms to those who have never heard even the slightest chime from their biological clock, the reflective stories found in this book provide a framework to help you examine your motivations and make your own guilt-free decision. These stories convey the same concerns and fears you may have raised with yourself or your closest friends, as well as the uplifting reasons you may consider motherhood--the love, fun, and fulfillment that many women gain as mothers.
