Pregnancy: A Message for Mothers-to-be

I wrote a review in the form of a blog post called Pregnancy: A Message for Mothers-to-be which can be found on www.any-body.org. I am often frustrated by the ideals that society has imposed on pregnant women.  I wanted for my patients who are new mothers, sleep deprived and thrust into a world foreign to their previous existence, to have their experience of motherhood normalized and not idealized.
