If you would like a particular topic covered, drop Mama a line. With Your Sister message board. I'm not quite sure what they mean, or if it's a good thing or a bad thing. But I finally came to agree with them once I became a mother. A woman's transformation to motherhood often begins at conception.
Hormones do an about-face and emotions soar.
In my case, my pregnancy went very smoothly. I had read books that discussed the Baby Blues and heard about postpartum depression. At most, though, I found a paragraph or two on the topics. Needless to say, I was not expecting so many emotions that greeted me at the door when we brought my son home from the hospital. But a fingernail cut too close here and improper latchment there quickly led to so many awesome emotions hitting me at once I could hardly take it.
